I'm back again! although my last chapter didn't seem to get as much attention as others so maybe I over did things with 3 updates in a week (Thanks to those that did get in touch though x)...I will give you a break after this chapter for awhile just in case it was too much :)
Enjoy

Santana used her hip to close the car door before hitting the button on the key to lock and alarm it. It was a really clear night and millions of stars dotted were dotted across the black canvas sky. She took a moment to take a few deep breaths and clear her head.
Quinn heard the keys in the lock and placed her book on the table, she had attempted to do some of the bars accounts but had given up when her concentration just wasn't cutting it.
"Hey." Santana smiled and closed the door quietly behind her.
"Hey." Quinn replied barely louder than a whisper.
"Sorry I took a bit longer than I said, my phone died. I thought I'd stop and get us some takeout on the way home."
Quinn had been a little concerned when Santana still wasn't home forty five minutes after she had text but she made herself breathe through it and not panic.
"I held off sending the search party." Quinn smiled but it didn't reach her eyes.
"Good I didn't buy enough for them, just enough for three."
"Dani has gone out."
"Oh?"
"Yeah she has gone to see Shelby."
"I see and you are ok with that?"
"Dani deserves happiness and I can't be the one to stand in her way."
"She does deserve to be happy."
"San I….."
"Wait…..just hang on before you say anything else."
Santana placed the food on the kitchen bench and moved closer to Quinn.
"Before you say one more thing I am going to kiss you ok? I am going to kiss you for quite some time and I might even add in the odd boob graze or butt squeeze."
Quinn smiled wider this time and it definitely reached her eyes.
"And after I am done kissing you we are each going to take a turn to say what's on our mind about earlier…keeping it as simple as we can and then we are going to sit down and eat some Thai food ok?"
Quinn nodded as Santana closed the distance between them completely and kissed Quinn like there was no tomorrow.
"Mmmm." Quinn hummed softly. She had yet to open her eyes enjoying every last micro second she could of the kiss they had just shared.
"Can I go first?" Santana whispered against her lips.
"Of course."
"I understand the issue with Shelby and all I can do is reassure you she will never be a problem for us. I am so completely in love with you and only you. I know it won't happen overnight but can we please work on her not being an issue in our relationship? I'm sorry I walked out also, I needed to cool off but I'm going to work on making myself be able to do that without having to leave the house every time we have an argument. I'm sure with two head strong ladies like us it certainly won't be the last one we have."
Quinn waited a second longer to make sure Santana had finished before clearing her throat to speak.
"I'm so sorry about how I acted earlier, the things I said were from a place of fear and insecurity. I do trust that you would not cheat on me. I guess I am fearful sometimes that you are going to want what you used to have with Shelby now that she is back and actually single. Having you seems too good to be true some days and I just want you to know that I'm going to work on my issue with Shelby and totally keep myself in check if anything bubbles up again. I love you and I hate fighting with you. I just want us to be able to have a normal relationship with no exes coming up out of the blue and no psycho freaks wanting to physically harm us. I just want us to have the chance at something relatively normal you know? No extreme drama or stress. If leaving helps you to cool off or get things into perspective then I'm totally ok with that just please always tell me where you are going.
"You know I think the same about you don't you? You are totally too good to be true and I can't even begin to understand what you see in me sometimes."
"I wish you could see yourself through my eyes and then you would be able to see exactly what I see in you."
Quinn knew it was corny but she truly wished Santana could in fact see it. She placed her lips over Santana's in the most delicate gentle kiss the brunette had ever felt.
"You know credit where credit is due we seem to be able to clear up disagreements pretty well."
"I think we are both hot heads and then we calm down and realize fighting isn't actually that much fun."
"Making up can be." Santana wiggled her eyebrows suggestively.
"Yeah but that can't be the reason we do it because even though make up sex is super-hot all the sex we have is super-hot."
"Quinn."
"Yeah?"
"Stop talking and kiss me."
"Yes ma'am."
They kissed heatedly until a loud growl rumbled from Santana's stomach causing Quinn to pull away in a laugh and Santana to pout.
"I think we better feed you."
"Now I feel like something at the zoo."
"The way you act about steak I say that would almost be a fair likeness."
"Ha ha."

"Shall I head off so you can get some sleep?" Dani had noted Shelby yawn again although she had tried her best to hide it.
"No stay! Please….. I'm enjoying this. Just ignore my yawning I have sleep to catch up on." Shelby had struggled to sleep for any real length of time since she had been home and it wasn't through lack of trying or want.
"How did you sleep last night?"
"Not too bad my head is a bit all over the place and anytime I heard a noise I woke up but on the whole it was ok." She didn't want to be a victim in Dani's eyes.
"So in real terms not so good?"
"Yeah I guess, I know I'm safe here and the doors are locked and everything but I get a little jumpy however I'm sure it will ease off in time."
"It's why you probably shouldn't be alone."
"I'm ok I'm used to my own company, even when I was married to Luke he was away so often that I practically lived by myself anyway."
"But how can you focus on improving your mental and emotional health when you are exhausted?"
"I'll get there it will just take a little time."
"Ok I don't want to come across as being to forward and this is simply coming from a place of caring but if you want me to stay here with you I can." Dani was a little nervous as she spoke, she didn't want to freak Shelby out but if having someone else in the place helped her to get some rest then she was only too happy to help.
"No don't be silly I'm not going to put you out like that."
"It's not putting me out and before you say no again just think about it for a little while please."
Shelby nodded and took a sip from her coffee. She had to honest with herself that she hadn't jumped once or felt uneasy the entire time the young blonde had been there and that included her visit earlier.
"Have you got any movies we can watch?"
"Um yeah in the cupboard over there I have a load of DVDS."
"Awesome." Dani jumped to her feet to check out Shelby's collection.
"There may not be much you are interested I haven't bought any new ones in a long time."
"Netflix?"
"Nope I don't really watch much of anything so don't bother."
"I guess we will have to settle on something a bit old school then."
"Hey they aren't that old."
"Oh good you mean they aren't all black and white then?
"Well that's just offensive."
They both laughed as Dani began to flick through the collection.
"Well shit we have an instant winner, I love this movie."
Dani held up the movie for Shelby to see.
"Ah yes I love me a bit of Meryl."
"And Anne Hathaway is pretty hot."
"She is."
"The Devil Wears Prada it is then."
"Did you want some popcorn or anything?"
"I actually could really do a pizza, you want in on that action?"
"That depends."
"On?"
"What type of pizza you plan on getting."
"Pepperoni."
"Ok I think I can handle that."
"Oooh and extra cheese."
"Ha ha ok."
"If you say that pizza toppings also reflect personalities I'm leaving."
"Are you saying your cheesy?"
"I'm not going to answer that. Who is closest that delivers?"
"Allow me…..I have them on speed dial." Shelby grabbed her phone of the table beside her and found the number she was looking for.

"I'm stuffed." Santana rubbed her stomach and seriously considered unbuttoning her jeans.
"Well you did say you bought enough for 3 and there isn't much left." Quinn replaced Santana's hand with her own.
"I blame Dani, I had to eat her share so it wouldn't go to waste."
"Would you believe there has been something invented called a refrigerator? It allows us to safely store left overs so one doesn't have to fear food wastage or overeating."
"Very funny."
"I should be a comedian right?'
"Totally….lets chuck these dishes in the sink and find something to watch."
"Sounds good." Quinn kissed her cheek and gathered both plates leaving Santana in charge of the viewing options if she could get up to get the remote of course.

"This is really good." Dani managed to get out between bites of pizza.
"They are amazing aren't they? They use homemade sauces and as many local ingredients as possible"
"It's quite possibly the best pizza I have ever had. I think I'm going to have to get that number off you."
"Hmmm not sure if I can share such top secret information."
"Don't make me beg."
"Ha ha that could be fun."
Dani placed her slice of pizza back in the box and dropped to her knees, she shuffled across the floor till she was immediately in front of Shelby and held her hands up in prayer.
"Please please pretty please with drizzled chocolate sauce on top will you give me the phone number to the pizza place." She followed it up with the best puppy dog eyes she could.
Shelby laughed loudly but had to admit she did look pretty cute.
"Come here." Shelby beckoned her with her finger.
Dani moved closer so they were practically touching, a shudder ran through her body when Shelby tucked her hair behind her ear and whispered softly into her ear.
"It's on the pizza box silly." Dani groaned and allowed herself to fall onto the carpet beside the brunette.
"You enjoyed that far too much didn't you?"
"Let's say we are now even after the movies not being in black and white comment."
"Ugh fine." She made herself comfy on the floor and leant back against the sofa.
"Are you going to stay down there?"
"For now yup."
"I'll get comfy then." Shelby swung her legs up and lay across the cushions.
She now had a perfect vantage point to admire Dani's profile without looking like a complete perv.
"You going to watch this or shall I turn it off?" Dani smirked back at her, she knew Shelby was checking her out.
"I'm watching!"
"Sure you are." Dani chuckled and returned her attention to the movie. Being around Shelby was easy and comfortable and it made her feel good so she was only too happy for it to continue for as long as possible.
Shelby managed to keep her eyes on the screen for most of the movie, only getting slightly distracted when Dani tucked her hair behind her ear once more and Shelby was convinced she could see the younger woman's pulse beating in her neck. Shelby definitely had a thing for necks.
"Do you have anything sweet here?" Dani's voice brought her back from dream land.
"Well you're here so I'd say that's about as sweet as it can get."
"Nice!" Dani giggled.
"Seriously though I've had chocolate sauce on my mind ever since my failed begging incident and I'm completely craving something sweet."
Shelby bit her tongue so as not to blab out the 5 or so dirty replies that instantly came to mind.

"Mmmm San." Quinn was enjoying the feeling of Santana's lips making their way down her neck immensely.
"Do you have any idea when Dani will be back?" Santana asked against her skin.
"Kinda not thinking about Dani right now babe."
"I only ask so I know if I can strip you naked right here or if it's better we go to the bedroom."
Quinn immediately felt herself moisten below.
"Are you sure you want to do that? I mean you've just been through something pretty major we can stick to kissing if you want."
"Q I can't think of anything I would like to do more than make love to you right now."
"There's no rush San."
Santana grabbed the bottom of her own shirt and pulled it over her head.
"I know my love hence why I'm going to take all the time in the world."
"In that case I think we had better go to the bedroom."
"Good idea, why don't you head up, I'm just going to get a few supplies."
"What kind of supplies?"
"I'm thinking ice tonight." Santana winked seductively.
Quinn's body shuddered with anticipation she hadn't realised how much she had been craving Santana's touch. The woman was a total addiction in every way.

Shelby tossed and turned rather violently on the sofa and Dani wasn't sure if she should wake the dreaming brunette or leave her to wake naturally. She had always been told waking someone from dream filled state isn't always the best idea but this was hardly a good dream so could she really leave Shelby in such a distressed state? The answer was clear…No she couldn't. She took a seat beside the sleeping woman and placed a hand gently on her shoulder.
"Shelby…..wake up hon." She rubbed lightly wanting to avoid a jolted reaction.
"Shel come on wake up its Dani."
Shelby's face showed pain and a single tear slipped down her cheek.
"Shelby." Dani raised her voice a little louder.
Shelby's eyes opened wide, it seemed to take a few seconds for her to actually focus on her surroundings her breaths were short and rapid.
"Hey are you ok?" Dani's voice was calm and reassuring
"How long have I been asleep?" Shelby was embarrassed that she had even fallen asleep in the first place let alone that Dani had to witness her mid nightmare.
"Only about an hour."
"I'm sorry."
"What are you sorry for?"
Shelby had been having disturbed sleep even before she had been abducted, Luke's threats had been taking their toll for quite some time.
"You are my guest it's rude to fall asleep." Shelby made a move to get up from the sofa but Dani's hand on her chest stopped her.
"Stop ok….I can see you are trying to brush this off but if you are having bad dreams you can talk to me about it."
"There isn't much to talk about Dani."
"What are they about?"
"Luke normally and now the events of the past few days of course."
"At least your heart rate is back to normal." Dani's hand had remained on Shelby's chest which was now rising and falling at a better rhythm.
Shelby took the blondes hand in her own.
"Thank you, normally I wake up and it causes me to have a bit of a panic attack until I convince myself that I'm safe."
"I'm staying with you tonight ok."
Shelby began to object but stopped when it hit her how much she actually wanted Dani to stick around. Instead she nodded and smiled softly at the younger woman.
"I can stay out here and if you wake up worried just come and get me."
"You can't sleep out here."
"I'm not leaving you like this."
"I have a spare room…..or….."
"Or?"
"You can sleep in my room."
"Hmmm I don't know…Which bed is comfier?" Dani smiled brightly trying to lighten the atmosphere a little.
"Well I have no complaints with mine."
"Sounds good to me then."
Dani swept Shelby's brunette locks from her face and rubbed her thumb gently over the bruised skin on her cheek before slowly leaning forward and connecting their lips in a soft but meaningful kiss.
"Thank you." Shelby's voice was barely a whisper as they broke apart.
"I'll be right beside you and promise you'll be safe ok?"
Shelby nodded before connecting their lips once again.

"Oh god Santana." Quinn groaned in pleasure as Santana's tongue traced the moist trail she had just created by sliding an ice cube down Quinn's body. The left over cube was slowly melting where it had been left in Quinn's belly button.
Santana sucked the ice back into her mouth before moving to Quinn's extremely erect nipples, she enjoyed driving the blonde completely crazy with extended periods of foreplay.
"San I need you."
"You've got me baby." Santana nipped at the skin where the blonde's neck met her shoulder.
"You know where I need you…. Please Santana." Quinn wasn't beyond begging at this stage.
"Mmm your wish is my command." Santana was getting wetter by the second herself.
She began to kiss back down Quinn's body before she was stopped.
"Wait….."
"What's wrong?"
"Turn around."
"Huh?"
"I want to match you tongue stroke for tongue stroke."
"Jesus Q….."
Santana groaned and the ache in her core erupted. She knew it wouldn't take long till they were both toppling over the edge into orgasmic bliss.
