As we move together, our bodies slick with sweat, I realise that I want more than just this physical connection. I want her heart, her soul, her everything. And I know that I will do whatever it takes to make her mine completely. Her moans become louder as I take her to new heights of ecstasy.

With one final thrust, she shatters beneath me, her body convulsing with pleasure. I follow soon after, my release exploding inside her. We lie there, panting and sated, our bodies entwined as we bask in the afterglow.

As we come back to our senses, I realise that I can’t imagine my life without her. I’ve fallen in love with her. Of course I have. I would never have broken my oath for anything less.

Which means I have a serious problem on my hands.

I climb off the bed and she makes a small sound of protest.

“I’ll be right back, relax,” I tell her with a soft smile. She does that. Makes me softer. Better.

I pull on my clothes and pad barefoot down to the bathroom where I clean up and then wet a washcloth, returning to my bedroom with it.

“Where did you go? Is everything okay?” She sits up, clutching a sheet to her front, suddenly shy around me.

“Bathroom.” I hold up the cloth and she blushes.

“I can do that.” She holds out her hand, but I shake my head.

“Lie down. Let me.”

She opens her mouth to argue, but I give her a stern look. Meekly, she follows my orders and lies back down.

“Good girl,” I tell her and she preens. I give her a quick kiss, and then clean up the evidence of our loss of control.

Done, I toss the cloth away and pull off my clothes once more. Then I slip between the sheets and look down at Malia, already dozing off on my pillow. Her vibrant hair is still sticking to her forehead and I gently peel it off and tuck it out of the way. It’s brighter than it was before, I’m sure. More evidence that she’s still leaking magic for some reason. Everything would be easier if she’d just embrace her powers – whatever they may be – and unleash the full extent of her magic. At least then we’d know what we were dealing with.

“Vance?” Malia murmurs sleepily.

“Yes?”

“Please don’t go back to being mean.”

“I won’t,” I promise.

“Or ignoring me. I couldn’t bear that.”

“Shh, sleep now.” I tell her with a kiss to the top of her head.

I realise that my problems are for another day. Right now, all I want to do is hold her in my arms and never let her go.

So I do.

Fuck, this party is banging. I’m having such a good time – everybody is – except, I can’t find Malia. And I really want to enjoy it with her. She’s absolutely blown me away with her party planning, and I feel bad for laughing about her flyers now. I’ve no idea how she’s managed to bring this all together, or pay for it all, but it’s amazing. The tiki torches cordoning off the beach was an especially nice touch. No need to worry about any drunk fucks drowning in our front yard that way. Though of course, there are always some idiots. I can see half a dozen people have stripped off to go skinny dipping, and I’m all for doing that with Malia, but in private, when it’s just us.

Still, it’s fun to watch.

Where the hell is she though? I’ve looked everywhere, and there’s no sign of her. I’m not worried because I know one of the others will have eyes on her, but I’d still rather she was with me. I am the birthday boy after all, I think that gives me the right to claim first dibs on our girl tonight.

Maybe I can wind the party down early so that I can enjoy a dance with Malia, and we might move on to that swim after all. Although making love on a blanket beside the bonfire holds its own appeal too.

Fuck. I need to find her. At the very least I need a birthday kiss from her.

“Hey man, what’s up?” Cove asks, coming over to me with two bottles of unopened beer dangling between his fingers. He passes me one and I twist off the top, clinking the bottle neck against his once he’s done the same.

“Cheers.” I take a long drag and then look at Cove over the top of my bottle. “I thought Malia might be with you.”

“No. She’s with Reef I think.”
