“Would you like a cup of tea? I simply boiled the kettle.” My voice is lastly working.

“Positive.”

I don’t know the way he takes his tea. How come he consumes my complete being, however I don’t know this trivial reality about him?

“Milk? Sugar?”

“Only a splash of milk, please.”

Splash of milk.

I stroll over to the kettle, however his phrases cease me.

“Have you learnt what number of roundabouts I needed to drive by means of to get right here?” His fists are at his waist and ft planted broad aside. Shocked, I watch him wave his hand dramatically in entrance of him. “Do you realise there are loopy junctions with eight – ten lanes to weave by means of? The place it’s unimaginable to know what visitors mild was the one I used to be to observe? You simply needed to dwell on the far aspect of Belfast, didn’t you?”

Laughter bubbles up my throat. I can’t assist it, can’t cease it. Trevor’s face breaks out in that cheeky grin that I really like.

He steps nearer. “I’ve missed the sound of you, metropolis boy.”

Heat unfold in my core on the sound of the nickname. “What are you doing right here, Trevor?”

“Julie has a boyfriend.”

“Actually?” The change of matter confuses me, however I’m pleased for her.

“Uh-huh,” Trevor nods. “Steve from Colerain. She needed to go to Belfast to seek out herself a bloke from down the street.”

“And… how is he?”

“Didn’t have time to interrogate him, I used to be too busy avoiding Julie’s kicking boot.” I wish to ask what he means, but it surely doesn’t appear necessary when he steps even nearer. These eyes which have haunted me each minute of the day these final months take me in, searing my physique as he swipes his gaze up and down my body. That acquainted tilt to his mouth makes me salivate for the sarcastic tone that I do know will lace his phrases. “She was yelling at me, telling me that I can’t cover within the barn ceaselessly. She says it’s worse than hiding in a closet. She actually plotted your tackle into my satnav, put my keys within the ignition, began the automotive and compelled me into it.”

“You didn’t wish to come down right here?”

“Solely due to the visitors.”

“What are you saying, Trevor?” This have to be what it seems like to leap off a airplane. A pounding coronary heart, concern and elation.

“I’m saying…” His head drops. Then he glances up at me by means of his lashes, uncertainty flashing within the blues. “Will you give me one other probability?”

I can’t even attempt to play onerous to get, I simply nod. A whoosh of air leaves Trevor, and he grabs my face with each arms.

“Yeah?” he asks, his eyes flicking between mine, looking for doubt. He’ll not discover any.

I nod more durable. “Sure, Trevor.”

His gaze turns darkish and needy. My breath is pressured out of my lunges as he pushes me roughly in opposition to the wall. His lips are agency, brutal, frantic, and I reply with complete keen submission. Fireworks go off inside my cranium and I seize his shoulders, digging my fingers into his agency muscle tissues. He’s actual, not a figment of my creativeness. I moan in sheer reduction and open my mouth to his probing tongue. He invades me, actually and metaphorically. My arms glide larger, over the beard I’ve been itching to the touch all day lengthy.

He leaves paths of fireplace up my physique as he reacquaints himself with each inch of my torso. He breaks the kiss. “You’ve misplaced weight,” he says, his brows furrowed.

“I haven’t been hungry.”

“You want me to take care of you?” His enamel scrape down the column of my throat.

“God, sure…”

The rubber band drops to the ground, and I thread my fingers by means of his hair.

“I’ve missed you,” he admits. “We had so little time collectively, but it seems like I’ve recognized you ceaselessly. I’ve been misplaced with out you.”
