Things hadn’t been right for Lola and I for a while. I don’t know when we stopped having sex. At first, the lockdown was great. We were both able to work from home, which meant lots of daytime sex. Daytime sex is by far my favourite. I love how the sun feels on my naked skin, and how it makes Lola glow. My energy levels tend to be highest during the day as well, so we were able to be far more adventurous. It was glorious. Lockdown didn’t feel like a punishment at all.

But slowly, things changed. Our flat was small and we started getting on each other’s nerves. Our sexcapades became more and more infrequent until, at last, we barely had sex at all anymore.

It was Lola who had suggested a week away. She found the villa in Greece. I wasn’t convinced it was a good idea. Flying during a pandemic felt wrong. But the lockdown was lifted. People were flying all over the place, so I couldn’t really say no. Besides, the villa looked gorgeous. And I needed to get out of the flat. Staring at the same four walls for months on end had lost its lustre. So I agreed. If nothing else, it would give us some space for a week.

The villa was amazing, out of a picture. Mykonos is a gorgeous island and our villa overlooked the Azure ocean. It was warm when we arrived. Not the stifling, mugginess of England, but a pleasant, sunny, breezy heat. As soon as we entered the villa, peace descended on me.

“This was a great idea.” I hugged Lola.

She grinned. “I told you. No neighbours, lots of outside space and look—” she dragged me out to the patio “—the outdoor furniture looks very alluring. Doesn’t it?”

She turned to me with sparkling eyes.

“It does look very alluring. This is going to be such a relaxing holiday.”

Throwing her arms around me, she gently nuzzled my neck. I sighed contentedly. I loved it when she did that. Maybe this holiday would allow us to rekindle that fire. The flight had sapped my energy though, so I gently disentangled myself from her.

“I need a shower. I feel grubby from travel.”

The disappointment in her eyes was unmistakable, but she smiled. “Of course. I’ll start unpacking.”

Soaping myself under the hot shower, I felt bad. We were here in Mykonos to relax and find our spark again, but my libido seemed to have fled. It was clear what Lola had in mind for this holiday, but I wasn’t sure I could deliver.

I rinsed my hair and tried to conjure up some feelings of arousal. It wasn’t that I wasn’t attracted to her anymore. She was as gorgeous and sweet as ever. The fault was totally my own, but I wasn’t sure how to fix it. It was as if I was dead inside. If Lola’s perfect body couldn’t arouse me, there must have been something wrong with me.

I stood under the steady stream of the rain shower, letting the warm water wash over me. I closed my eyes and tried to relax. I was in a beautiful villa on a lovely island with my sexy girlfriend. We had a week of sun, sea and fun ahead of us. I couldn’t disappoint her. She deserved the best from me.
