the strength and pleasure his fingers bring as he continues to massage my neck and shoulders. “That feels so good.” The low sexy chuckle that follows makes me want to skip dinner to find out where else his hands might wander.
“Come on, you look gorgeous, let’s go.” He murmurs low in my ear.
“I just need five minutes.” I tell him as he exits the bathroom. I can't help it, Colin in the flesh makes my eyes start watering. It’s been thirty five days since I’ve been able to touch him, smell him, be with him and it overwhelms me. Jenna pokes her head in and seeing my tears quickly enters shutting door behind her.
“Shh, shh, it’s ok.” She soothes rubbing my back.
“I know, I’m just so overwhelmed.”
“Girl, let’s just finish the eye shadow up and get going. I’m sure you’re starving and anxious to get back here and make up for lost time.” She winks making me laugh. God I love her. Taking the tissue from her I dab my eyes and quickly finish what I started.

All parties involved think we should just stick to the hotel restaurant because it’s safer, yet no one comes out and directly talks about the elephant in the room. That no one wants me out in my hometown while Ryan’s around. I don't feel like addressing it either really, not tonight anyways, so I keep quiet and let them believe that I agree and the hotel restaurant is probably really great.

     

COLIN

I can't tear my eyes off her. Her body clinging to mine after all this time had given me a raging hard on but with a receiving line waiting to greet her there wasn't much I could do about it. Her eyes were dull and she looked tired. Happy but spent. I watch her light up at some crude statement Ben makes before joining in the laughter at the table. I love her smile. She’s kept her hand in mine since we left our room and I can't get over how perfect it feels, warm and soft, in mine. I cannot get close enough to her. I keep running my eyes up and down her body to make sure I’m not imagining all this. Her green eyes turn to mine and I’m momentarily stunned stupid. “Well?” She asks.
“Huh?”
“Colin!” She playfully smacks my knee. “Where are you?”
“Sorry.” I shrug.
“Jenna wanted to know what you have up your sleeve for tonight.” John chastises.
“Oh. Well, I don't think Elle here would like it too much if I shared those details.” Elle gasps and falls into easy laughter with everyone else.
“Well then, Elle, since you’re from here where’s the best nightlife?” Jenna asks.
“Hmmmm... I guess I’d say, Punter’s. You could walk from here and they have great music, dancing and drinks.”
“Great! John, you coming with us?” Jenna turns to him.
“Yeah sure why not.” He answers looking hesitant at being a third wheel to Jenna and Ben.
The waiter brings our food, setting each plate down in front of the appropriate person and the table falls silent as we all dig in. Occasionally Jenna, Ben or John steal glances at Elle while she sits moaning and eating happily at my side. Everyone’s concerned still but no one wants to ruin her homecoming by bringing it up. Elle scoots her chair closer to mine and leans into me. The contact is subtle but intense. It takes all my effort to keep my hands off her.
“Can we have dessert?” She says quietly in my ear.
“In the room or here?”
“Here!” She admonishes in a hushed tone. I give her my best sad puppy face but it only elicits a chuckle from her. “Here Colin.”
“Fine, fine.” I turn to the rest of the table. “Anyone want to join Elle in dessert?” Elle laughs loudly before Jenna pipes up that she too wants dessert. No one can decide on any one item though so we end up ordering four desserts and sharing them between the five of us. I think Elle might be in heaven. She keeps giggling, squeezing my knee and then digging her fork into another plate of dessert. My chest tightens every time I see her sparkling green eyes and smile. I’ll do anything to keep her
