step out on the landing to greet him.
    “What the hell are you doing here?”
    In an instant I’m pushed back against the wall as Matthew races towards me and pins my hands above my head, pressing his body to mine as he kisses me intensely.
    “Ahem!”
    Rosie clears her throat to get our attention and Matthew steps back. I laugh as her eyes drift down, then up and Matthew blushes. There’s nothing that he can do to hide his arousal and Rosie just laughs.
    “Hi Matthew. Come in, I’ll call a cab!”
    The three of us head into the flat and as Rosie calls for a taxi, Matthew kisses me again, a little more chastely but still full of desire.
    “I’m sorry, I wanted to surprise you.” His forehead rests against mine as he wraps his right hand around the back of my neck, pushing his fingertips up into my hair as his left hand grips my side.
    “You’re not due home until tomorrow.” I smile and kiss him briefly,
    “I couldn’t stay. Missing your call yesterday was torture.”
    I kiss him again. He needed me so much that he caught an earlier flight home. God knows what the change cost him. I’m overwhelmed.
    “Erm, I’m off then you two!”
    Rosie smiles as she stands by the front door ready to leave.
    “We’ll walk you down.” Matthew grins and takes my hand as he leads me out of my flat to see my sister safely into a taxi. This is just too comfortable.

    Day Fourteen - Saturday
    “Baby…” I moan unconvincingly as Rafe kisses my throat and pushes his hand under my t-shirt, “Babe….RAFE!” I come to my senses as Rafe’s fingers start to make their way under the waistband of the lounge trousers that I borrowed after my shower. “We need to stop,” I’m actually short of breath, I don’t want to stop, “I should go.”
    I look Rafe in the eyes, pleading him to just say ‘FUCK THIRTY DAYS’ and drag me to bed. I’d happily renege on the deal right now. But he doesn’t and he’s right.
    His hand leaves my lower abs and comes up to my face. We shift so that we’re side by side on his sofa, I feel like my lips are swollen after hours of kissing. My dick certainly is, and I have the worst case of blue balls known to man!
    It’s been like this for the past two nights since I came home early from Belfast. It’s so difficult to resist when we get to this stage. What the hell was I thinking? Why couldn’t I have said two weeks? We’d be in bed right now if I’d thought it through properly!
    “Don’t go baby, I don’t want you to go. We can do this, I know we can.”
    He kisses me and I process what he’s saying. He actually thinks I can stay and share his bed, and not have sex…What? There’s no way that can happen!
    “Rafe, I really don’t think I can stay. You know as well as I do that we’re not going to last thirty days if we share a bed.”
    I kiss him and my hand slides down over his hips before I scold myself again.
    “Stay, it’ll be fine, I promise I won’t take advantage of you.” He smiles that heart stopping smile, “We can have breakfast and then lounge around all day tomorrow watching films.”
    The look on his face is impossible to resist. I shake my head and smile. I guess I’m staying!

I Love Him

    Day Seventeen - Monday
    “You can’t get on the train in flippers…”
    I wake up and look over to see Rafe still fast asleep and clearly dreaming, I supress a laugh and turn to watch him. As I disturb the mattress Rafe stretches out and rolls onto his back. The quilt was kicked off the bed at some point during the night and the thin sheet is bunched down to his waist.
    He’s fucking beautiful!  I’ve shared his bed for three nights now, I don’t know how we’ve managed it but somehow we’ve kept our hands off each other...Just!  Each morning that I’ve been here I’ve woken before him, smiling at his crazy sleep talk and propping myself up on my elbow to take in the view.
    He’s lying on his back with his face turned towards me. His left
