There’s a quiet knock at the door and Nick enters the room carrying a large box. He sets it down on the floor and smiles at me. “Everything sorted?”
I put on a brave face. “Uh-huh. Dad’s agreed to meet us tomorrow.”
“Fantastic. You see? I told you things would come together eventually.” He glances around the room. “Right, where shall we start?”
For the next two hours, we work together, packing up everything into boxes until we’ve stripped the place bare. Sometime around four-thirty, we head out to the car and put as much as we can in the boot. It doesn’t all fit of course, but Nick says we can come back tomorrow to pick up the rest. Then he kisses my hand, starts up the engine and steers us onto the main road. Within seconds, we’re moving through the snowy streets, heading towards Pimlico. I feel so restless and excited, like I’m doing something I shouldn’t be.
For a while, we drive in silence. Then Nick asks me how I’m feeling.
“A little emotional,” I admit. “This is a big step for me and to be honest, I’m finding it kind of scary. But it’s also very exciting. The idea of waking up everyday with you is amazing.”
“I understand,” he says sweetly. “But trust me Carly; you’re doing the right thing. I promise I’ll take care of you.”
I don’t reply. I just keep my eyes on the road, watching the wipers dance back and forth.
“Are you looking forward to getting home?” he asks.
“Home?”
“I mean your new home—with me.”
“Oh yes, of course. Which room will I be having?”
He steals a quick glance at me. “What do you mean? You’re going to be sharing my room, of course.”
“Oh. Okay! I wasn’t sure, you know…” My voice trails off and I laugh nervously.
We stall at a set of traffic lights. I can feel his eyes on me, watching, studying.
“I can’t wait to get you home,” he whispers. “I’ve been thinking up new ways to explore your body.”
My cheeks flush.Not again!The man is insatiable. We’ve made love three times today already, and I feel so weak, so sore, I don’t think I can take any more. My God, he wants it in the morning, he wants it in the evening… I really don’t know how long I’ll be able to cope with this level of intensity. Still, as Nick continues to whisper exactly what he’d like to do to me and how, I can’t help getting wet. His silky voice, the way he enunciates the words gives me an indescribable thrill and I’m like putty in his hands.
As soon as we get back to Pimlico, he’s on me in the hall, pawing at my clothes, wanting to fuck me right then and there. He’s coming on so strong I find it kind of frightening. His sex drive is relentless, out of control, and I wonder how on Earth I will cope if every day is going to be like this. Playfully, I manage to fight him off and tell him I’ll need something to eat first. Reluctantly, he goes back to the car and brings in the boxes, while I fix myself coffee and a sandwich.
Sitting on the living room sofa, eating, I find it hard to believe that this is my new home. Every room of Nick’s house is fitted out with Persian rugs and antique furniture; every available surface covered with priceless porcelains, urns and crystals vases. Why, the contents of this room alone must be worth about at least a million. It all feels so surreal, I almost feel like pinching myself.
Carly Singleton, you’ve really moved up in the world.
“Right, that’s all your boxes put away in the attic,” Nick says, collapsing next to me on the sofa. “I’ve put some of your clothes in the top drawers, but I think we should leave the rest of the unpacking till tomorrow.”
“I agree. I don’t have the energy.”
There’s an awkward pause. I glance out the corner of my eye and catch Nick watching me like a hungry wolf.
“What?” I smile.
He doesn’t answer. Taking my hand, he sets down my drink, pulls me onto his lap and kisses me with an urgency that takes my breath away. I stifle a gasp as his long, agile tongue plunges down my throat, eating me out like he wants to consume every piece of me. I find the depth of his love stifling. At last, I come up for air, breathing pretty hard.
“Let’s take this upstairs,” he whispers.
I shake my head vehemently. “Darling, listen…I don’t think I’ve got the energy for this.”
“Yes, you do. You’ve got to. I need to be inside you, Carly. I need it now or I’ll go mad.”
“But we’ve already done it three times!”
Nick looks at me like I’m crazy. “Do you really think that’s enough to satisfy me? I want you every single minute of every single day.”
