Thanks for the feedback everyone.

Part Ten

I can't help but feel a little disappointed as Sara and I arrive back in Vegas, we head to the airport parking lot, Sara left her car there before we left.

"What's up?" Sara asks as we get into the car. "You've been quiet since we landed."

"To be honest, I'm sad we're home."

"Why?"

"I liked having you to myself while we were away. I liked it just being us for a while and I know now we're home that's going to change."

She smiles before replying. "I liked it too and I know what you mean, I'm not ready to share this with anyone either." She leans in for a quick kiss. "But there isn't much we can do; we'll just make damn sure we make time for each other."

"We will, starting tonight. We'll be there at six."

"Good, looking forward to it."

We drive in silence to my place. As Sara cuts the engine and turns to say something I lean in and kiss her. We're both breathless when I pull back and I decide now would be a good time to repay her for her antics this morning.

I lean back in to kiss her neck; her head falls back, giving me more skin to explore. I flick my tongue over her pulse point as I slip my hand up her top.

Her skin is so soft; I want to feel more of her. Her hand comes up to the back of my head to tangle in my hair.

I gasp into her neck as I cup her breast. The feel of her hard nipple covered by the silk material of her bra is sexy as hell. I brush my thumb over her nipple as I suck hard on her pulse point. I know I'm leaving a mark but I don't care. Especially not since she started arching into my hand and moaning.

"Catherine..." She says with a whimper as I keep teasing her nipple and kiss my way up to her ear.

"You like this baby?" I whisper as my thumb circles her nipple.

She doesn't reply, just nods and whimpers again. "I know what would feel better...my mouth." I husk into her ear.

She moans low in her throat at my words.

Just as she's arching into me again I remove my hand and pull back from her completely. I loathe doing so, I want to touch her so much but this is about payback...well, a little anyway.

It takes her a second to realise what's happened and she focuses her gaze on me, looking confused as hell and I have to admit that one look at her desire filled eyes and I'm wondering why I stopped myself.

I give her my best smirk as I open the car door. "Payback's a bitch, don't you think?" I tell her, loving her groan of frustration.

"You can not do that to me." She states.

"I believe I just did." I reply.

"I'll be forced to retaliate, you know that don't you?"

Oh god, what have I done. I don't think I can handle her teasing me. I'll be damned if I'm about to admit that though. So I just smirk. "You can try Sidle. I'll see you later." I say as I close the car door and walk away, laughing to myself. I turn and smile at her as I reach my door. Damn I've got it bad, and I couldn't be happier.

I find my sister curled up on my sofa as I enter the living room.

"Hey sis." I say as I flop down next to her.

"Hey, didn't know what time you'd get back, figured I'd wait around in case you weren't back in time for the school run."

"Thanks. Everything been okay?"

"Yeah, everything's been fine. How about you, hope you weren't too bored."

I can't help the huge smile as I think there is no way in hell I could associate the word bored with how I've felt these past few days.

"Hmm, what's that smile about? Okay spill it, you've met someone haven't you?" She accuses looking a lot more interested than she did a few minutes ago.

Damn my sister for knowing me so well. "Why assume that I'm smiling just because I've met someone?"

"I'm your sister; I've known you all your life, so I recognize that smile. Plus, you didn't deny it." She says with a grin. "Now come on I want a name."

My sister knows I date women so she's not going to be surprised by that. I'm thinking she will be surprised that it's Sara, especially after listening to me mope for days after she turned me down.

Impatience gets the better of her and she doesn't wait for my reply. "So are we talking male or female? You must have met someone there because I know you went with Sara and we know..."

She trails and looks at me, shock written all over her face. I think I may have given the game away when I practically swooned at the mere mention of Sara's name.

"Sara? It's Sara? I thought she wasn't interested. You so have to give me details now."

I proceed to tell her pretty much everything that happened and how I felt about it and how happy I am about it.

"Wow Cath." She says when I finish talking. "I can't believe she's ready to take on Linds so soon."

"I know, she's amazing." I smile.

"Well I'm happy for you."

"Thanks."

"So come on, get to the good stuff. Is she a good kisser?"

"You have no idea." I grin.

"Wow, that good. I'm jealous, she got any brothers?" She says laughing.

We chat for a while until I realise it's time to go get my daughter. Nancy and I leave together and I drop her at home before going to pick Lindsey up.

"Hey baby." I say leaning in for a hug as she gets into the car.

"Hey mom."

"How was your day?"

"Boring."

Informative. I think to myself, wondering whatever happened to the days when she couldn't wait to tell me all about her day.

"We're going to Sara's for dinner tonight. Is that okay?"

"Sara from work?"

"Yeah."

"Sweet."

Lindsey knows I've dated women before so it's nothing out of the ordinary to her. She also knows I only let her get to know people I'm serious about.

"Sara will probably be around quite a bit in future." I say tentatively, I don't want her to feel left out but I don't want to overwhelm her either. Plus, she's a very smart kid; she'd figure it out by herself.

"Why? Are you two dating or something now?"

"Yeah. What do you think about that?"

She just shrugs.

"You're okay with that?"

"Yeah. What time is dinner? I'm hungry."

My daughter has a lovely ability to dismissing everything she doesn't deem important enough and move the conversation to herself. Oh how I love teenagers.

"Okay, well how about I call Sara and we grab some take out and take it over now? Save her cooking."

"Sweet. I get to choose the take out though."

Thanks for reading.
