‘Ican’t believe we have to go home in a few hours,’ I groaned as Blake and I wandered through the cobbled streets of a cute Andalusian village, holding hands.

It was Sunday and once again we’d had a magical weekend.

After I’d left the rooftop bar on Friday night, I’d joined Blake in his car. Geoff had barely shut the door before Blake had pressed his lips on mine and we didn’t stop kissing and touching until we arrived at the airport.

During the flight, we’d exchanged stories about our day then had dinner. By the time we’d landed and been dropped off at the villa, it was past midnight and we were exhausted so we went straight to bed.

Yesterday, we’d spent all day relaxing in the villa. We’d alternated between swimming in the infinity pool and curling up on the daybed reading.

Reading together was one of my favourite things to do with Blake. When we were at home, he’d sit on the sofa or in bed, usually with a new manuscript, and I’d lie across him or rest my head on his shoulder whilst I devoured a book from Sated’s extensive back catalogue.

If the book was particularly spicy, I had been known to tug down his boxer shorts and ask him to re-enact the steamy scenes, which was always fun.

Last night, instead of asking the chef to make dinner, we decided to cook together. Blake made fresh pasta from scratch and taught me how to create a delicious tomato sauce. His talents really were endless.

As we’d stayed in yesterday, Blake suggested we go out for lunch today.

After a huge meal, it was great to walk it off in the sunshine.

It was so beautiful here. Whitewashed houses with wall-mounted bright blue ceramic pots overflowing with colourful flowers, palm trees swaying in the gentle breeze, small artisan shops and a gorgeous square lined with restaurants.

‘We’ve both got a big week ahead, so it’s better if we don’t get back too late so we can have a proper rest.’ Blake slid his arm around my waist, then pressed a soft kiss on my bare shoulder. ‘And as an extra incentive, there’s a new delivery of Percy Pig treats waiting for you when you get home.’

‘Yes!’ I cheered, before planting an appreciative kiss on his lips.

‘If I’d known all I had to do was buy a few packets of sweets to get you to kiss me, I would’ve done it a lot sooner!’ Blake chuckled.

‘You don’t have to buy me anything to get a kiss. I’d do it for free,’ I said.

‘In that case…’ Blake’s mouth crashed onto mine and he kissed me like he’d been starved of oxygen and I was air.

The kiss was hungry, passionate and overflowing with emotion.

His lips moved greedily against mine.

Our tongues tangled, every desperate flick more intense and exhilarating than the last.

Heat flooded my veins and my body throbbed with desire.

God. I could kiss this man for eternity and it’d never be enough.

I loved how much Blake wanted me, too.

That he didn’t care that we were in the middle of a street.

That he couldn’t bear to wait until we got back to the villa.

That he had to devour me, right here, right now.

As Blake deepened the kiss, I raked my hands through his hair, then my hands travelled down his muscular back.

His hard-on strained against my belly.

This kiss was too X-rated to happen in public, but I didn’t care.

It was so good.
