Strong (Book 2 in the No Control series)

Today is Liam’s Birthday. We've spent the day visiting with his family. Right now the guys are taking him out for a drink. He’ll be home soon for our quiet night alone. I’m keeping it simple. I’ve made him a nice traditional English dinner and I’ve rented the latest Avengers movie for us to watch. I have his gift wrapped and ready for him.
I head upstairs to quickly get ready before he gets home. First I put on the red lace bra and panties that Liam really likes. Then I put on a very feminine lacey red dress. I wear my hair just the way Liam likes it, large soft curls flowing over my shoulders. I touch up my make up then head back downstairs.
I put on some music in the kitchen while I put the finishing touches on the cake I made for Liam. I’m so into singing along to the music that I don’t hear Liam come in. I suddenly feel arms around my waist. “You have a beautiful voice, love.”
I laugh and turn around in Liam’s embrace. “No, there’s only one person in this house who has a beautiful voice, and that’s you Birthday Boy.”
He grins, gives me a kiss, and then sings along with the song. Proving my point.

All throughout dinner, Liam raves about how good it is. It makes me smile at how happy he seems with it.

After dinner, Liam and I cuddle up on the couch to watch the movie. “Before we start the movie, I have something for you, Liam.”
I’ve been saving up for awhile to get Liam this gift. He has lots of nice watches, but I’m hoping this one will be special to him. It’s a gold Versace watch. I’ve had an inscription put on the back.
I hand the box to Liam. “Oh love, you didn’t have to get me anything.” He says.
I just smile.
He pats the couch for me to sit next to him. I do and he begins to open it. His eyes get big as he opens the lid. “Liz, it’s incredible.”
“Look at the back.” I tell him.
He flips the watch over and reads the inscription out loud. “To my Prince Charming, Amore Vero Per Sempre, Your Cinderella.” His face lights up. With a big grin he tells me. “Liz, it’s perfect. I absolutely love it. Thank you, Beautiful.”
I smile, relieved that he seems to genuinely love it. I happily watch as he puts it on. He reaches over, puts his hand in my hair and kisses me.
Something tells me, the movie is going to have to wait. I push Liam back and move to straddle him. I unbutton his shirt, kissing his chest then making my way back up to his mouth. I tug at his tongue with my teeth and he moans. He bites my bottom lip as I pull back. “Let’s go upstairs and I’ll give you your other gift.” I smirk.
Liam grins, then picks me up. In the bedroom I undress him. I have him lie on the bed while I slowly undress for him. He doesn’t take his eyes off of me as I climb on top of him.
My breath catches as I look into Liam’s eyes, so full of love for me. Am I truly worthy of this incredible man?
As I hover above him, Liam pushes my hair back from my face. “I love you so much, Beautiful.”
I smile. “I love you, Handsome.” Both of our eyes grow dark, our rhythm speeds up. We watch each other come undone. Moaning and crying out each other’s names.

I run downstairs and grab Liam’s cake. I walk in the bedroom with his 22 candle lit and singing happy birthday. I climb onto the bed carefully. “Make a wish, Liam.”
He closes his eyes then blows out his candle. “I think that’s the first time I’ve ever blown out my candles naked.”
I laugh. He puts his finger in the icing and rubs it on my lips. He moves in to lick/kiss it off my lips. He moans as he pulls back. “Mmmm.”
I grin and put a spot of icing on his nose. “Happy Birthday, baby.”
