CHRISTMAS IN BATH

Thanks to everyone that has reviewed so far and it is quite exciting and fun to be able to take Captain James and Molly on their journey.

Christmas 2014

Molly and Charles woke on Christmas morning lying on the sofa in Molly's home. They had time to have a lovely Christmas morning kiss before the family entered to open their presents. Charles had treated her family and the football tickets for her dad had been very spontaneous. Molly had never seen her dad lost for words. Charles gave her a beautiful necklace with an elegant diamond pendant.

Molly's home was noisy and fun. Breakfast was hearty with bacon sandwiches and great big mugs of tea and even Charles took tea over his usual coffee. The smile he gave her over his mug of tea while wearing his new watch was magical. Belinda caught the look with tears in her own eyes knowing this guy was different and he was going to really take care of her daughter.

Late morning Charles and Molly were packed and ready for their drive to Bath for the rest of the holidays. "Merry Christmas Mum." Molly hugged her mum just before she got into the car. Belinda had happy tears on her face and a huge smile.

"Have a wonderful time Molls." Belinda gave her another hug and added while Charles was putting the bags into the car so out of earshot. "He is definitely a keeper. He loves you so much and when he came to speak to us all he talked about was you." Molly face broke into one of her big smiles that lit up her eyes and made her so beautiful.

"Thanks so much for a wonderful Christmas morning and I will take care of Molly." He kissed Belinda on the cheek and continued. "She is my world." After some frantic waving from Molly and Belinda the BMW pulled away to continue the journey to Christmas in Bath.

….

The journey took under two hours with the powerful BMW eating up the miles on very quiet motorways. Charles had placed Molly's hand on his thigh for the journey and when she raised her eyebrow in enquiry had been greeted with a real look of her hunger that made her blush and have to look away. She kept her hand there and could feel his quadriceps moving under her hand as he changed gear and it was pretty distracting for her.

"We're here at last," she heard as they pulled up in front of Charles house and as he switched off the engine he kept her hand in place and moved her hand higher. He then turned and took her face in his hand with the same hungry look and thoroughly kissed her. When they came up for air he smiled, "that journey was quick as all I could think about was later and your hand." He smirked and knew that she would not have time to be nervous as she would want the day to progress so they could be alone and continue this.

"All I can think about is later." She confirmed and he smiled a deliciously wicked smile.

"My plan worked then. You don't need to be nervous as just know that I can't wait to get you up stairs to be alone." He smiled again and placed a quick kiss on her lips. "Time for lunch and all the presents." He moved round to open her door and then took their bags out of the boot to head up the stairs to the front door.

Charles took her hand and led her into the kitchen where his mum was taking the turkey out of the oven, his father was choosing between two bottles of wine and before they had a chance to say hello a fireball launched into Charles' arms. Charles returned Sam's bear hug. "Happy to see me then scamp."

"Gran said no presents until you arrived and dad you should see how many are under the tree." He squealed as Charles gave him tickles. He then looked at Molly with a smile. "There are even presents for you." He continued. His brown curls and big brown eyes were a replica of his dad and Molly felt her heart warm at the thought that this beautiful boy was part of her life.

"Cool. We might gonna need to start opening them soon." She called and Sam looked a little confused. "Need to ask Gran if we can open any before lunch."

Margaret James had put the turkey back in the oven, came over and gave both her and Charles perfumed hugs and allowed one present each before lunch. Richard James entered the elegant living room and gave his son an affectionate slap on the back and Molly a kiss on the cheek. Sam opened a Lego fort, Charles had a beautiful leather jacket and Molly received some beautiful diamond earring s that matched her pendant. She had tears in her eyes and received a firm kiss to her lips.

Christmas lunch was delicious and even though the dining room was elegant with the most gorgeous dinnerware, it was very relaxed with lots of laughter, lovely wine and the most wonderful warmth. Molly felt relaxed and happy if she felt a little overwhelmed she looked at Charles and was always greeted by a smouldering look that said he could not wait for later. How could one man be that wicked and warm all at the same time?

Molly, Charles and Sam cleared the dishes which was quick with the large dish washer but fun with Sam trying to put soap bubbles on his dad and Molly's nose. They opened the rest of the presents during the afternoon with Molly receiving perfume, a lovely jumper and an ipad mini for skyping when she away. Charles was down on the floor building the Lego fort with Sam and Molly could not work out who was having the most fun.

Molly thought back to last Christmas when she only know Charles such a short time and was starting to have the most lustful feelings for him especially when he stripped off just to combats when he was doing weights. He had confessed that he had seen her looking and had done it deliberately as he loved when he caught her watching him. Molly was so entranced in her thoughts that she did not realise Margaret had sat down beside her and was offering her a coffee. Molly looked up a little guilty as her thoughts had started to get a little x rated about Charles and she started to blush. When she darted her eyes to the left to see if he had noticed she got a hot look back that made her blush more.

"Thanks." She said to Margaret while taking the coffee with slightly shaky hands.

"Dad when is it time for singing." Sam asked as Margaret explained that karaoke was an important part of a James family Christmas. Molly groaned as knew she could only hold a note or two. Down the hall they went into the family room which consisted of soft woven sofas, with big comfy cushions, a large screen, projector, various game stations and a state of the art karaoke machine. Charles set up the screen and got the mics ready while Sam got a piece of paper to start writing down song requests.

Molly smiled and smiled and even though she had trouble holding a tune it did not matter. The James family all had fine voices and Sam was an extrovert like his father when he took the mic and performed.

"Charles took part in every stage production at school." Margaret added as Charles and Sam sang a duet. "I thought he might have gone for a career on the stage until his love for the army kicked in."

When the song finished Bossman came over as he had moved to using a head mic like the ones they wore in Afghanistan. He took Molly's hand and pulled her up. "Time for us to sing our song," he said and it took Molly a moment to realise he meant the duet from tour. The music began to play and the words came on the screen and he began. Molly was nervous at first but this time she could sing knowing that her feelings were out in the open and reciprocated. As the song was nearing the last verse Bossman reached into his pocket and dropped to one knee. He opened a ring box and continued to sing.

"So don't misunderstand me

When I ask you to marry me

Because I need you beside me

For our future to begin."

He smiled and it lit up his whole face and begging her to say yes. Molly nodded and threw herself into his arms as the rest of the room clapped and squealed with delight.

"Thank you my darling," he whispered in her ears. "It can be whenever you're ready but just knowing your all mine." He hugged her tight and swung her round.

"Oh Sir." She whispered back. "I will always obey your every order." She cheekily replied and he smiled at her with a mock stern Boss expression and then gave her a delicious kiss.

…

Much later snuggled against Charles after the most exquisite sex she had ever had, Molly could not get enough of just being able to run her hands down his long back and gentle follow the firm curve of his butt.

"You would never know the lustful thoughts I had watching you in those low slung combats with your wide stance and crossed arms when giving orders last Christmas." She confessed but this time being able to give into that temptation. "I just wanted to put one arm around your neck and pull you down for a long kiss and then wrap my legs around you while feeling how hard you were for me." She continued to confess while continuing to follow the curve of his butt.

"Molly, " He groaned. "You can't give my images like that and then not put them into action. You might gonna need to do what you said for real." He pulled her close and she could feel how ready he was for her.

"Thought you would never ask, Boss." And with that she played out those thoughts and felt the most heartfelt groan from her Bossman.

"I love how you always follow orders, Molly!"

Molly had never been happier and knew when she heard Charles' rhythmic breathing later that she had come a long way and had never been happier than sharing Christmas in Bath with this wonderful man, on the start of their future together.

Thank you for all the reviews and there is one more chapter to follow with Christmas 2015 with their twins.
