The One Addicted(42)

I hang back and two seconds later, the door closes and he comes from the shadows, his mouth on me; tongue slipping inside and leisurely twisting with mine. Ah bliss. “Jeez, Lu, I’ve needed to do this since we left one another last night. I haven’t slept a wink!” His hand reaches to grasp my butt and the other feeds through my hair, binding my head in place and pressing my body against his firmly.

I can feel his morning glory now, hard and searching and God I want him. “I want you!”

“I want you too, baby!” he growls into my mouth, leaving my swollen lips to plant a trail of soft wet licks along my neck and behind my ear and reality booms with clanging bells.

“No - I push against him. “We can’t do this here - God, I want to but Finn’s only next door. Seb… Seb… seriously.”

His chuckles are contagious as we catch our breath like rampant hormonal teenagers in the hallway. We head into the room, where Finn is zipping up his coat with a grin. “Sub was kissing my Mum!”

Oh crap!

I look at Seb and he winks back at me, entirely in control as usual. “I was, dude. Are you Ok with that?”

Finn puts his hat on, and shrugs complacently before replying. “Ninni said it’s about time anyway. It’s fine with me but are we still going fishing?”

“Of course, dude. Say bye to your Ma and let’s go find Nathan. We need to go be hunters and gatherers.”

“Bye guys - be good.”

“What you going to do in the meantime?”

“Abs, Suzie and I have a hot date with the Spa - then we’ll meet you for our surprise activity Finny?”

“Cool! I love surprises what is it?”

I chuckle. “It wouldn’t be a surprise if I told you. Now off you go boys and have some fun.”

What I really wanted to say to both of them in unison was love you both but I couldn’t - this new relationship trial thing and amalgamating it with Finn was tougher than I’d imagined.


I text Abby, grab my swimsuit, and bag and then head downstairs and to the rear of the hotel, where the new relaxation suite had recently been re-modelled. It housed a swimming pool, sauna, Jacuzzi and beauty rooms, which included massage, reflexology, hot stones treatments and seaweed body wraps. It all sounded fabulous but I’m not really in the mood for anyone’s touch but Sebastian’s.

“Hey you - sorry I’m late I ordered room service and had breakfast in bed, seeing as Nathan was up early. These Silver boys are certainly early risers.”

“I know, but at least you had yours in your bed with you and could enjoy the early morning rise.”

“I did thank you very much - sorry, lovely did you find it tough having him so near yet so far?” her giggles are contagious.

“Stop it - I did! Its ridiculous - I had my beautiful little boy sleeping next to me all cherubic and precious and all that I’ve needed for well…forever and all I could think was how nice would it be if Seb was in the bed with us? Not even to be shagging in it? Just to be a family.”

“So why didn’t you?”

“Er - because its far too soon, that’s why, Abigail.”

“For who? You or Finn?”

“Finn of course.” I think.

“Look I’m not a Mum so I can’t really be the best advisor here but when it feels right you’ll just go with the flow. You and Seb seem to be easing back into things nicely though Hun. You still doing the whole one month proposition thingiemebobby?”

“Kind of! It’s not really a proposition and we’ve both told each other we love one another but yes, we’ve agreed to try things for a month - I’m giving him the month to prove to me that he really wants this, and I’m giving myself the month to trust in us. One thing I do know Abs is we are stronger together than apart and that should count for something shouldn’t it?”

“Definitely, babe - that is everything. Wow - deep for Saturday morning, come on let’s get our treatments booked in so we can meet the guys.”

“Sounds like a plan. All I want is a bit of a swim and maybe a manicure I don’t think Suzie’s joining us? Doesn’t look like it anyhow?”

“She’s already in there - she’s gone for the full pregnancy package and Gino too apparently!”

We both laugh in unison; he’s so metro-sexual.



I take a deep breath of the outdoors filling my lungs with fresh air and smile. This was just what we had needed this weekend, well this and the de-stress I’d just experienced, even without all the massaging and pampering the Spa has relaxed me entirely.

And now watching Finn hi-five Seb, Na, Gino and even Chris, I know that he is in his element and that is the best stress-reliever anyone could provide. The male influence is something he needs desperately in his life and he’s thriving with their friendship. My Dad is such a brilliant influence but I could tell that Finn was enjoying having someone more my age on hand - Niall was beginning to get his act together finally too so things were definitely on the up.
