Everyone visibly relaxed and Bette and Tina seemed to find the last part especially funny. We spent the rest of the night drinking and hearing about Libby’s getting caught out in the bathroom, we all drank way too much and would probably have to take a day of our trip to recover, but at the time it felt as though we were all exactly where we should be enjoying ourselves and welcoming another member to our strange but amazing family.

We got back to the hotel at about three and Connor and Libby very quickly went to their room Andy seemed a bit subdued as she poured us both another drink and followed me into ours.

I closed the doors and watched as she sat on the bed, I knew what was wrong but waited for her to voice her concerns anyway; it never worked to push her.

“So I get to meet Holly tomorrow.”

She looked at me and I waited for her to continue. She just sat there and I could see all she was feeling in her beautiful expressive eyes, self-doubt, and worry but also excitement and hope hidden there too. She didn’t need to tell me and I had no need to ask instead she said just four words.

“Make love to me”

I went and held my hand helping her rise from the bed. She raised her arms as I pulled her shirt over her head. I unbuttoned her jeans and slid them to the floor helping her to step out of them. All the while never making contact with her skin.

She looked stunning in her sky blue bra and thong I could see her nipples straining through the material even before I had laid a hand on her.

I removed the underwear and stood back to fully take her in. I kissed her then and used the force of it to push her onto the bed. The moan it elicited from deep within her caused my centre to throb but I held her hands to prevent her for touching me or removing my clothing. I kissed her with all that I had trying to convey love and faith and reassurance savouring the feel of her tongue battling mine in that slow familiar dance.
