Isobel P.O.V.

When we got home from dinner, Soph and I immediately went off to gossip.

"Spill." She commanded, sitting me down. "Ollie and I both saw a half-naked Kade strutting out of your room this afternoon. AND your dress was sitting in the middle of the kitchen floor."

I laughed, widening my eyes a little. Damn I've got all the evidence stacked up against me. "Yeah... we slept together." I admitted with a small smile.

"I figured as much," she chuckled. "I'm strangely happy for you. Which room do I need to change the sheets in?"

I twirled a strand of hair around my finger sheepishly. "Both."

Her eyes widened a little. "You guys are like rabbits."

I laughed. "Sorry Soph."

"Eh don't worry about it," she shrugged. "As long as my couches and kitchen are safe."

"They are!" I reassured her. "I promise."

"Okay, so now what? Do you know?" She pondered, her eyes flickering over me with curiosity.

I shook my head to the side, chewing on my lip. "No... we haven't talked about it. I guess I'll just leave back to New York and yeah... see what happens. I'm just not expecting anything out of it. I don't even know if we will keep in touch."

She sighed softly. "You okay with that? I know it was hard... last time."

"Yeah I think I will be. I feel like I'm on my own terms now. Like he did suggest to me once that we could be no-strings attached, so it's probably just what it is..."

"Well I'm here for you, alright?" She gave me a small squeeze. I wrapped my arms around her as I said goodnight.

"So, before you say anything, I have to leave here at 5am in the morning at the latest. I'm catching a ride, no ifs and buts. Spend time with Ollie. I'd hate for you guys to have to wake up and take me so early when you should be in your honeymoon phase." I said sternly as we walked upstairs together.

"No, it's-"

"Uh ah!" I interrupted. "It's totally fine. Plus you know I have a thing about big goodbyes. Being at the airport would be way too dramatic."

"Okay," she sighed, wrapping an arm around me to give me a small squeeze. "And also thankyou for being so considerate of us."

"I'm not your best friend for nothing," I joked, giving her a little playful hip bump. She did one back with a smile as we got to her bedroom. I said my goodbyes to Oliver before I went back to my room. I wasn't sure when I would come back to see them again, but at least I know for certain there's always Christmas holidays to look forward to.

I spent the rest of the night packing my luggage. There wasn't too much to do since I had been keeping myself pretty organised over the few weeks, keeping the things I'd worn and no longer needed on one side, and the other with things I hadn't yet used. I collected a couple of things from the bathroom and popped them in a bag, the ziplock snapping shut as I tucked it into my suitcase. Last but not least, I grabbed my bridesmaid dress and viewed it with a tender smile. I couldn't have asked for a better weekend. I folded it up carefully and popped it on top before zipping up my luggages. All done. I dusted my hands off in satisfaction, before standing them up near the door, ready to go early tomorrow morning.

I knocked on Kade's door so I could spend one last night with him. At this point we had talked about everything under the sun besides our future plans with each other. Nothing. Zip. His intentions were ambiguous. I guess that spoke for itself. It was just like how it was six years ago. This time though, I was in control of the situation and myself, I was trying not to have any expectations.

"This is becoming a habit," he said amusedly, eyeing my figure standing outside his doorstep. He was shirtless as usual, with a pair of shorts hung low on his hips. He was like the type of guy to make a girl want to do anything. He was that alluring.

"Shut up." I chuckled, pushing him inside before shutting the door. "Hey it smells better in here now though."

He jumped on the bed with a big grin before patting the space beside him. "Yep, aired it out and found new sheets."

I crawled on top of the bed and under the covers resting my head on his chest. He intertwined his fingers in my hair and gently played with it, giving me a scalp massage. I sighed contentedly, closing my eyes.

"I know I have great fingers but don't go falling asleep so soon on me now," Kade whispered.

I smiled, still with my eyes closed. "Well I think you're going to need to wake me up with your great fingers."

His hands stilled before he rolled me under him, eyeing me darkly. "Talking like that is an invitation for trouble Bel."

I giggled, throwing caution to the wind. "I'm willing to take a chance."

❗️

He bent down, pressing his lips to mine as I wrapped my arms around his body, running my hands down his back. My legs followed suit, wrapping themselves around his torso, as I brought him down closer to me.

My blood spiked as his front began to grind against mine with delirious amounts of friction. I moaned tilting my hips upward to meet his. He trailed his kisses down to my neck, sucking on it as he pulled down my cami top, grabbing my spilled breast in his hand.

My grip on him was so tight, holding him as if my life depended on his proximity to me. Not before long, his lips danced their way down the curve of my breast before tracing a line to my stomach and across my hips. He guided my shorts and panties off my legs at once before using his fingers to softly rub my centre.

"Feeling awake yet?" He murmured against my core, pressing a small kiss to it.

"Mm not quite," I fake yawned.

He snickered, before darting his tongue out to taste my desire. It worked up and down, reaching deep in my folds as it tickled the sensitive tissue. "Time for my great fingers then, huh."

I nodded breathlessly. He slowly slid a digit in, curling it upwards in a come-hither motion. I squirmed a little at the sensation. A flush spread across my skin as he slid his finger in and out. Leaning down again. He used his mouth to lightly suck my clit, before inserting another digit, prompting a wanton moan from me. Simultaneously, he pumped his fingers in me whilst rubbing my tight bud with his other thumb.

"I'm definitely up and going now." I said breathily.

"So am I." He winked.

I bit my lip, an amused twinkle in my eye as I tilted my head at him. "Well then what are you waiting for?"

He sat up, wiped the back of his mouth with a devilish grin before he licked his fingers clean. My lips parted in awe whilst I watched him. He makes everything erotic and sexy. As he crawled back up my body, I flipped him over so I could sit on top. I pulled off my cami, freeing my breasts fully before dragging the rest of his clothing off.

Gotta make this last night go off with a bang. Pun intended.

I gripped his rock hard member in my hands, positioning myself above him before sinking down. He moaned, as his hands naturally gripped my waist, helping me guide myself on top of him. I rocked back and forth, placing my hands on his chest for support.

"Kade," I rasped, moaning with delight as he filled me. His arms encircled me, pulling me down to his body as his lips captured my breast, sucking on the nipple. My breaths were ragged as I moved my hips sliding up and down his length.

"Keep going, you feel so good Bels," he grunted lowly, rolling the globes of my ass in his palms.

I moaned, throwing my head back as I bounced up and down on him, closing over his member. He then gripped my hips, before thrusting upwards into me repeatedly. Our eyes met, causing swirls of intense passion to cloud over as we both battled on for a release. In those moments I could feel him, feel emotions rather than just physical pleasure. His eyes weren't completely filled with heat, but tender affection.

I slid myself off him before turning around, placing my feet flat on the bed, and my hands behind me. He positioned his cock and drove it upwards, sliding into my core. The new angle and position brought itself another level of divine pleasure. He held me as his hips moved expertly, pumping upwards. With every stroke I felt myself climb higher, the curling tension building deep and low inside me. With one hand helping me prop myself up, he slid the other down to my lubricated clit, rubbing it in circles.

"Oh yess," I gasped as the contact with my bundle of nerves, caused a shock of ecstasy in my body. He continued, pounding into me quickly with force and speed that was sure to bring me to my peak.

"Let go baby," he murmured huskily, circling my clit with his hand whilst hitting me in all the right spots deep inside. "I'm with you."

"Kade," I moaned amorously, eyes closed and head tilted back. The tight coils in the pit of my stomach released itself in ripples, causing myself to lose muscle control in my lower body as I came.

I felt his cock jerk before a warm liquid spilled itself into me. "God Isobel," he groaned, bringing his thrusts to a stop before blowing out a large breath.

Panting, I climbed off him carefully to lie down on the mattress. My mind was numb with shock and the flood of hormones that came with the aftermath of incredible sex. After cleaning up, he drew one arm around me before pulling me towards him.

"Good night Kade..." I mumbled. Tired and sated, I closed my eyes in an oxytocin-induced slumber.

"Good night Bels." I heard him whisper softly before slipping under.

It was completely dark when I rose to the soft sound of my vibrating phone alarm at 4am in the morning. I had slept decently, though in the back of my mind I was conscious that I had to wake up early. I quietly and gently removed the arm placed haphazardly on my body and rolled out of my bed. I peeked over at Kade to see if he had stirred awake by the sound of my movements. His chest rose and fell in a steady pattern and he hadn't moved yet. Great. He was still sound asleep. I tiptoed carefully around to collect my clothes, stealing myself his t-shirt to pop on before making my way to the door. I glanced over at his sleeping figure, my eyes trailing over his handsome face. Not being able to help myself, I tip toed back to his bedside to plant one last kiss on his temple before closing the door.

After brushing my teeth, throwing my hair up in a bun and putting on some clean clothes, I carried my things downstairs. I grabbed a quick snack bar and a banana to eat before ordering a lift to the airport. I left a small note to Soph and Oliver, leaving their key on the dining table before waiting outside for the lift. It was quite chilly without the warmth of the sun- everything was bathed in darkness and the grass was wet with morning dew.

I didn't want to say goodbye to Kade, hence why I hadn't mentioned when I was leaving to him. Saying goodbye would've cemented whatever this was as some sort of holiday fling. And I guess I didn't really want that. But alas, that's what it was. In efforts to avoid being hurt, I'm putting on my big girl panties and I am making the conscious decision to go back to my life and try to remember this as a happy memory, with no expectations for more. Perhaps leaving it open-ended like this could be seen as a "to-be-continued". Maybe it'll prompt him to call me and we can pickup conversation over the phone instead. I guess we'll see what happens next. But either way, I was trying to be strong.

Headlights pierced through the darkness, growing larger as it made its way down the street to where I waited patiently in front of Olphie's house. I took one last look at the home before loading my things into the car, sliding into the passenger seat.

"So to the airport hey?" The lift driver asked with a polite smile.

Mustering up as much energy as possible at this time of the day, and despite the circumstances of having to leave, I smiled back. "Yeah. Back to New York I go."
