She didn't know the answer but she saw him differently now. She saw him for who he was, not what her friends thought he was. And she liked what she saw. She saw a man who loved her completely. A man who would probably take his last breath loving her and the thought warmed her to the bone. Simon loved her, he always did, and she was glad.
Paige's eyes opened when Simon broke the kiss. She smiled up at him when his hand slipped down her body to her leg, moving it aside to allow himself room to settle between them. She was constantly amazed at how the slightest touches sent her body into a rush of tingles. One soft touch of his lips across her skin and she was completely swept away.
He had become a constant fixture in her life over the last month and she knew she'd be miserable if he were no longer there.
She felt him enter her and their eyes locked. Limbs entangled and emotions poured out through light touches and soft kisses. No matter how many times they came together, it always felt like the first time. Whether it was fast and hard or slow and passionate like now, it was always like finding their way home.
Simon lowered his head, kissing her before slowly grinding his hips into hers. He had one hand tangled in her hair while the other was wrapped around her waist, pulling her to him. A small moan escaped her throat when his tongue slipped between her lips.
As the rhythm of Simon's thrusts increased, Paige's nails bit into his back and her legs wrapped around his waist. Her eyes opened, staring up at him and she felt the fluttering in her stomach as her release neared. Simon's grip around her waist tightened, his hips rocking against her in a steady but urgent rhythm.
Paige leaned up, kissing him as her body began to hum with electricity, the friction between them increasing until she pulled away with a gasp as her body began to tremble.
Simon's head lowered to her shoulder when he felt her muscles clench around him before she let out a small scream, her body trembling beneath him. His own release quickly became apparent, his thrusts increased, his hips pushing against her before his world slowly exploded around him.
Paige lay breathless, her arms and legs wrapped tightly around him as he lay on top of her. Her hot breath tickled his neck as he tried to regain hold of his erratic breathing while their bodies calmed. A small sigh escaped her as she held him to her and leaned in, placing a small kiss on his shoulder.
"You know, you just keep getting better and better at that," Paige said, breathing in deeply.
Simon chuckled against her neck before raising his head. "Well, I aim to please, Ms. Foster," he told her before stealing a quick kiss from her.
"Do you now?" Paige asked raising an eyebrow, "Cause if you really want to please me, you can skip out of work tonight and every other night for that matter."
"Here we go again," Simon said laughing before moving to lie beside her. "You know, I still can't for the life of me figure out why me working at the club is such an issue now, when I distinctly remember a certain gorgeous blonde, namely you, checking me out there not more than a month ago."
"Well, that's different," Paige said, before rolling to her side so she could see him. "Me gawking at you is different than others gawking at you."
Simon looked up at her when she rose up on her elbow and looked down at him. "I'll tell you what. When I finish paying off the beach house, I'll quit."
"Really?" Paige asked excitedly, her smile huge as she stared down at him.
"Really," Simon said smiling back at her.
Paige giggled before kissing him hard and laying her head on his chest. "So, how long till the house is paid for?" she asked, tracing circles around his stomach with her finger.
"Twenty-eight years."
Paige's head shot up, her eyes and mouth wide and she stared down at him before he laughed and tackled her onto her back.
"What? I've only had the place a few years. I don't make that much money, you know."
He knew he should tell her he had already put in his notice, but just watching her pout about it daily gave his ego a boost he'd never get tired of. Just knowing she wanted him all to herself was enough for him to keep the information to himself.
"You really aren't funny," Paige said pouting up at him.
"Yes I am," Simon said, lowering his head.
"Are not," Paige said finally smiling.
"Are too,"
Paige giggled when he kissed her, his hand grabbing at her side as his fingers dug into her flesh. "Stop!" she yelled, laughing as he tickled her before she started tickling him back, sending them both into a fit of giggles. They finally both released their hold on each other.
"What am I going to do with you?" Paige asked as they both lay panting for breath.
Simon looked down at her, his eyes softening as he said, "Love me forever."
Paige smiled before saying, "I don't think that will ever be a problem, Colin."
He smiled down at her when she said his name and knew she meant what she said. He could see it in her eyes. He stared at her as she raised her head and their lips finally made contact. Never in his wildest dreams did he ever think his fantasies of having a life with her would ever come true, but here he was. He held heaven in the palm of his hands and his entire world existed in the eyes of an angel.
The End
