“Do you know how good you feel?” He uttered as his warm manhood softened against her. “This has just surpassed the memories I had of us twelve years ago.”
“So, have I exorcised those memories then?” She drawled.
“You have definitely added some to the memory bank, that’s for sure.”
Alex wrapped his arms around Elly’s still costume clad body, his fingertips playing with the edging of her costume.
“You can be my very own superhero anytime.” Alex’s voice vibrated on Elly’s body. Warmth flooded her body as Alex’s embrace tightened.
“You know, I don’t think I’ve ever done that before.”
“What, an orgasm with a superhero?”
“Well, that as well. But my reference was to an orgasm while my partner kept her panties on!”
Elly was feeling heady with happiness. Her own climax had been the most intense one that she’d ever had. The silkiness of her panties against her clitoris as she rocked with Alex had stimulated her. She wasn’t sure if it had been the spontaneous nature, or that she had been the instigator and seducer.
“Alex, I have to say, you really do it for me.” She longed so much to tell him how intense it had been for her and how much she had looked forward all day to him coming back to her apartment. But the nerves in her stomach kept her quiet. She was too scared of what he would say in return. Scared in case he was flippant or didn’t feel the same way.
“Believe me, you do it to me too. I can tell you with the utmost honesty that I have never been seduced by a superhero, nor have I have enjoyed such intense lovemaking while being seduced by someone full dressed. Well, perhaps not fully dressed.” He looked down at her costume with a smirk on his face. Elly was pleased that he was also enjoying the concept of her costume.
With gentle fingers, he urged her breasts to spill out of the bra-top into his hands. Elly heard him sigh as he gently massaged the exposed skin.
“You are glorious. More splendid than I remember.” His voice was deep and thrilling. Elly could do nothing more but lean into his touch. His fingertips playing havoc with her, turning her insides molten with desire once more. As she tried to pull away, Elly saw Alex’s dark head dip down as his tongue flicked across her creamy white skin. She bit her lip hard to keep from crying out in pleasure. Alex teased her flesh and sucked hard on her nipple. One hand released her other breast to find its way as far down into her costume as it would allow.
“It’s your turn to lie back and enjoy.”
Her fingers were strong and took no time to push aside the lace of her panties, and slide inside her. With a closing nibble on her breast, Alex slide down her torso. Elly almost died as his fingers that had been stroking her insides was replaced with his tongue.
She almost called out in agony when he paused momentarily, but then he parted her flesh and continued caressing her with his tongue. Elly squirmed against him, trying to position his tongue deeper into her. Alex didn’t stop, he held her steady with strong hands on her exposed thighs, as his tongue teased at her responsive writhing. Elly hovered on the brink of no return. She used her shaky hands to try and push his head up against her but couldn’t get him in any deeper. Alex slipped two fingers back into her, sending her tumbling, as release shook through her body. She could hear herself groaning, gasping and whimpering as an intense tremor engulfed her, running right through her body.
When at last she had recovered her breath, and her body was still, Elly opened her eyes. Alex’s dark eyes were peering over her, and a wide smile plastered on his face.
“I really like this costume! Tell me, do you have any more?”
Elly shook her head in silence. “No, and I admit, this is the first time that I have ever worn it. It wasn’t quite suited for the event that I bought it for.”
“I’m happy to hear that. I’m sure we can arrange for you to wear it again.” Alex’s teasing said in a light-hearted tone.
They lay together, not moving for several minutes except for his hand that was caressing her exposed thigh, just above where her stiletto boots finished.
Elly wished that this moment would never finish, that they could lie like this in absolute harmony for ever.
Elly felt, rather than heard, the vibrations from Alex’s stomach rumble. She leaned forward to pat his belly. “One would think you have built up an appetite.”
“Indeed, I am starving. I bought some food on my way home, but I seemed to have forgotten about it.”
Now that Elly thought about it, she was also hungry. With her earlier focus on dressing up in the costume, she hadn’t eaten anything since midday.
“Come, this superhero needs feeding.”
Elly’s followed Alex’s naked muscly body as it walked across her bedroom back into the kitchen. She could hear him rattling plates and cutlery. She tried to kick off her stiletto boots, and found that they were skin-tight, and would not budge.
“Um. Alex? I think I need some help!”
###
He heard her question and poked his head back through the doorway. He couldn’t help but burst out laughing at the scene in front of him. Elly now made a very dishevelled superhero. Her bra-top was positioned under her breasts, so that she had two magnificent round globes on display. Her skirt was ill positioned and had somehow been ripped in their earlier antics. He suppressed a laugh as she tried in vain to remove her bright red thigh high boots. He came across to help and took the heel of one boot in both hands. He tried to wedge it off. But there was no movement.
“Hmm. This is tricky. It looks like they are stuck on.” Alex bit his bottom lip to stop himself from laughing.
“This is another new adventure I’ve never had the pleasure of before. How to get vinyl boots off. I actually have no idea on where to start!”
Together they wrenched and pulled, until finally the boots came off, one by one. As Elly threw on her kimono, he tossed both brightly coloured boots over to the corner of the room and held out his hand to her. “Come on. How about we crack open that wine and toast ourselves to new beginnings?”
“Sounds like a plan. To new beginnings and to exorcising those old memories!” She said. A cheeky grin on her face.
This new Elly was something else. Professional in the office and the consummate enchanter at home.
Chapter 9
For four nights, Alex had returned home with her each night. She had strolled with him around her local area, calling in at the pub for a drink and picking up food to take home and eat. Three days ago, he’d had to go to Prague for a business meeting.
“Why don’t you come with me?” He’d asked, as if there was no reason that she shouldn’t.
She shook her head. “No, Ivan and I have spent so much time at Hudson, that we need to check in with our colleagues. Besides, Simon has requested that we build a bespoke data monitoring system for Hudson. We plan to install it in the next few days. Your timing is a bit off. Nina has just reminded me that I need to take some time off. But I don’t think I can schedule it before next week.”
“Fair enough. Your job is important too. Besides, it’s probably better that I’m not tempted to stay in a hotel room with you when I should be focusing on the upcoming business discussions. I’m hoping to expediate the negotiations so that I can return back by the weekend.”
Alex had sent through a text message to her the previous morning that requested her to bring passport and clothes for the week, clear your calendar. No other details had followed, and the mystery had continued after she arrived at the Hudson office as Alex had still not returned from his business meetings in Prague. She had missed him the past few nights, though they had video chatted many times through a chat-time app.
She’d called Wendy to pass on her apologies for Sunday lunch, and explained that she would call them when she returned from a week’s holiday. Wendy had been delighted for her, especially when she realised that the destination remained a surprise and that it was a male friend who Elly was due to meet.
&
nbsp; “Your Dad will be so happy for you. Do bring your man in to meet us, won’t you Elly? Bring him for lunch on Sunday after you return.”
Elly wasn’t quite ready for Alex to meet her family. While their relationship remained at a casual fling stage, Wendy’s Sunday lunch hinted at too much commitment.
Her small backpack was still on the floor. It was a miniscule bag, but she always travelled light. Her grandmother used to say that there was something to be said for not being overladen with cases, too many shoes or clothes that you’d never wear.
But, what else would she need? She’d never met a lover on the Continent before for a romantic getaway. She hadn’t really had a lot of lovers though. The butterflies in her stomach had returned. What if she packed the wrong kinds of clothes?
Elly ran through in her mind what she had packed already. There were a couple of light floral summer dresses and a pair of turquoise slip-on shoes with shiny stones across the front. Right at the last minute she had also thrown in her plain black bikini and a white silky short night dress. She assumed that it was his yacht that he’d take her to, the one he’d spoken about at Miguel’s. What did people wear on a yacht? She backtracked into her bedroom and added to the bag her favourite item, a pair of dressy pastel blue cotton trousers and a plain white t-shirt. That should be sufficient. Besides, there was no point in overkill and dressing-up if it was not necessary.
She grinned to herself. No, it’ll be more like dressing down, if their past few weeks had been anything to judge by.
With Alex’s absence, her last few nights had been dreary to say the least. She had worked extra hours at DN and helped review code and project plans of other work that was underway. She could still smell Alex on her pillows, and that had just made the vacuum of emptiness exacerbated. She loved how they had gone to sleep wrapped up in each other. Always after they had sated their needs first. Sometimes it was frantic, and quick and hard. On those times, she met his challenge and rivalled him. Other nights, they took it gentle and slow, and explored each other’s bodies. She remained in awe of how much she desired Alex. And he seemed to want her too. Even on their recent chat-app sessions, he made her feel special and missed. When they lay together at the end of the night, his arms were always there in a protective shield, and he’d nuzzle her neck while his hand was splayed across her bare skin until she fell asleep. It wasn’t just sex or intercourse, they became one, and he always told her how mind-blowing she’d felt in his arms, or how remarkable his orgasm with her had been. Just like twelve years ago, he made her feel like a princess, his princess whenever they were together.
Elly gulped back the last of her afternoon coffee. It wasn’t a good idea to daydream about their lovemaking. Especially while she was alone. She’d worked all morning in solitude at Hudson. Ivan wasn’t at work today as his brother had received a special award from his school, and Ivan wanted to be there for it. They’d needed to tie up some loose ends for the police investigation and advise Simon on what else could or should be done to secure up their systems even further. At least Peter had been apprehended and was no longer an employee. She’d not seen Julia today, but Alex had kept her abreast of how she was. Poor Julia. She had been gutted, but at least she had her brothers to support her. And she’d been given leeway to explore some new directions for their company.
She’d had to return to Hudson for a few more days work. It was just to install some extra security layers onto the Hudson computer servers. Really, anyone at DN could have done this. But Elly had put her hand up. She liked to come in to work with Alex.
Though, it had been lonely working at Hudson’s today. Even Helen, who was usually available for a chat over a hot drink had not been available. She had shaken her head and pointed to a teleconference that she was participating in. So, Elly had worked with her headphones left on the desk, and one ear cocked just in case Alex had returned. In their chat last night, just before she went to sleep, Alex had still been unsure as to how long he would need to remain in Prague. She’d been disappointed so far, as there had been no sign of him all day. He must be planning to wrap up his business though, so she kept waiting in anticipation.
Helen gave a gentle tap at the door. “Sorry about that. The new negotiations Alex is working on have been all kinds of crazy. But it looks like it’s all been worth it. Anyway, you don’t want to know about that.” She shook her head.
“Alex asked me to tell you that his driver is available any time it suits you to take you to the Chester Airfield where his jet is waiting to take you to Monaco. That’s where his yacht is moored. He’ll meet you over there.”
Helen went to walk out of the small room, before she backtracked and returned.
“You know, he’s never done this before. I mean, push through negotiations at a break-neck speed so that he can have some down time with someone else. You guys suit each other. It’s great that he’s found someone he can be happy with.”
Elly’s cheeks reddened. “I think the feeling is mutual. We’re both enjoying each other’s company.”
“Can I just tell you something?” Her question to Elly was clearly rhetorical. She didn’t wait for a response before she continued.
“In all the time we’ve worked together, I’ve never seen Alex so joyful or so committed to a relationship. I haven’t chosen a single restaurant for you two to eat at or made a single reservation on his behalf. I’ve worked with him for over ten years. Believe me, this is unheard of in the world of Alex Hudson. I shouldn’t say this, but I really hope that despite his absolute disregard to love and marriage, that he wants to stick it out with you. You make him happy. Did you know he came into the office the other day whistling? Alex whistling! I didn’t even know he could whistle. Anyway, enough of my ranting. You’ll want to be off to go and join him.”
Elly didn’t know how to respond. Her cheeks were still hot and flushed. She wasn’t used to personal conversations like this with many people. Not about Alex anyway. With Nina, perhaps. With Alex’s PA, ah, no.
“Um. Cheers Helen. Nobody knows what the future holds. Especially with Alex. I’m very aware of that. But, for the moment, we’re happy. You’re right, I’m ready to get going. Do you mind if I get you to arrange a secure courier to drop off my laptops and other stuff to DN? It’ll save me a trip back to the office.”

The drive had been quiet, the window between herself and the driver was opened, but he’d not uttered a word except when he announced their arrival at the airstrip. She had been the only passenger and relished the spare time to catch up on messages in her social media. There were two air stewards, who gave her cold drinks before take-off, and a selection of gourmet tapas during the flight. It only took 40 minutes, so by the time she’d played on her phone, eaten and gone to the bathroom to freshen up, it was time to land.
The warm sun of Monaco hit her as soon as she stood at the doorway of the plane and looked down at the airstrip. It was a welcome change to the cold air-conditioned interior. She paused at the top of the stairs, as she pulled her sunglasses down to stop the glare of the sun. With her small backpack hoisted over one shoulder, she started to make her way down the stairs. One of the air stewards motioned for her to follow. As she stepped down from the last stair, Elly looked up. There was no airport here, just a small building and a car next to it. She looked closer at the car. A tall, handsome male figure lounged against the bonnet of the car. The striking figure gave a casual wave. Elly’s heart surged, and she couldn’t help but smile. Alex. Unable to be contained anymore, she ran up to him ready to give him a hug. Alex met her halfway, and not only hugged her, but held her close as he swung her around in circles.
Elly breathed in. She had missed breathing in his masculine cologne. She reached up and gave him a tender peck on his lips. Her light kiss turned into a sigh against his lips as his arms reached tighter around her and he initiated an intense kiss where his tongue probed inside of her. It sent her into a deep frenzy. She was enveloped in his body, his kiss, h
is everything. As he pulled back, his lips moved against her ears as he whispered “I’ve missed you. Come, let’s go.” His words melted her insides and she turned her head and grazed his lips with hers again before she responded.
“I’m ready when you are.”
Elly was on cloud nine. It was like part of her had been missing over the past few days. Her body came alive at his touch, and her heart exploded as he took her head in his hands and placed an affectionate kiss on her forehead, and for a tender moment held her close to his body. Then he led her by the hand towards the passenger door and gave her another kiss on the lips. This time, his kiss was quick and hard.
“Not sure if I’ve told you already, but I’ve missed you.”
Elly’s heart missed another beat.
“It’s only been a few days. I’m sure you’ve been otherwise occupied.” She tried to keep her tone light and teasing for fear that her own raw emotions were divulged. Her own desire was mirrored in his ocean blue eyes.
“You minx. I promise you, the very first thing we will be doing, is renewing our acquaintance.”
Before she slipped into the front passenger seat, she reached up and grabbed his collared shirt and brought him in closer as she whispered into his ear.
“Now that’s a promise I intend to be fulfil!”
###
Stretched out on a lounger, Elly was more relaxed than she had been in a long time. She glanced down at her bare arms, the warm sun of the Mediterranean had started to put some colour back in her skin. They had been on Alex’s yacht for three days. Three days of bliss. The staff remained in the background, and if it were not for the cold drinks and delicious food that appeared for their consumption, she would have assumed that they were alone. The yacht was huge. It had its own pool, cinema, multiple decks and cabins. She hadn’t bothered to explore it all. The cool blue pool, their suite of rooms, and the beautifully wooden panelled deck adjacent to their room had been where they spent most of their time. Their rooms were exquisite, with a gold and cream theme throughout.
