Ellie woke at dawn as the first rays of sun hit her window. In their haste to tear off each other’s clothes and get into bed last night she’d forgotten to close the curtains. James was lying beside her, still sleeping. He had his arm draped across her stomach but even without the contact she would have known he was there—she could feel the humming in the air and her room smelt of limes. It was almost as though even the particles in the air reacted to his presence. Nothing went unaffected, certainly not her.

She rolled onto her side to look at him. His face was relaxed and calm with just a hint of a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. He stirred with her movement and opened his eyes.

‘Good morning.’ The smile that had been hovering at the edges of his lips burst across his face.

Ellie breathed out, relieved to see he was quite comfortable waking up in her bed and didn’t appear to be looking for the nearest exit.

He rolled towards her and kissed her on the mouth. ‘How did you sleep?’

‘Short but sweet.’

‘Sorry about that, I was enjoying our evening,’ he said as his fingers found her breasts and started tracing circles around them, grazing her nipples.

‘I’m not complaining,’ she said.

She stretched her arms above her head, arching her back, and James groaned and ducked his head, taking her breast into his mouth and sucking on her nipple.

He was ready too. She pulled him over on top of her until his weight pressed her into the bed. He covered her body with his and she opened her legs, allowing him to join the two of them together again.

‘You’re going to make me late for work,’ he said once they had satisfied their desires. Again.

‘You could have refused,’ Ellie replied.

He grinned at her. ‘I didn’t want to appear ungrateful.’

Ellie thumped him on the arm. ‘Hey, watch it.’

‘I couldn’t resist, does that sound better?’ he asked as he kissed her on the mouth, before sitting up and swinging his legs over the edge of the bed, preparing to go to work.

In a frame on Ellie’s bedside table, just inches from where he was sitting, was a family photograph.

He turned back to look at her as she lay on the bed. ‘Are they your parents?’

She nodded.

‘You’ve got your mother’s eyes,’ he said. ‘Is it a recent photo?’

Ellie knew why he asked that. Despite the
