Chapter 2

Brennan and Jesse stared at each other then looked over at Shalimar and Emma who had started another kiss. Jesse cleared his throat to try and get their attention. Both women turned to look at the shocked guys.

"So when did this happen?" Jesse asked them. Shalimar looked at Emma who looked petrified and had started to turn red. She new that Emma had been scared of telling the guys about their relationship and on top of that they had both just proclaimed their love for each other for the first time, so she could understand why Emma would be scared.

"Remember when you guys went with Adam to help his friend." The feral replied.

"Then! That was almost a month ago." Brennan spoke out sounding and looking hurt.

"Yeah. Shalimar your supposed to be my best friend. How could you keep something like this from me?" Jesse asked.

"Don't blame her Jesse. It was me who didn't want to tell you guys, I guess I was just scared at how you would react." Emma said trying to defend her love.

"Look guys we're sorry we didn't tell you earlier but you know now. I don't care if you don't accept the fact that were together because that's our decision but it would be nice if you did." Shalimar spat out in anger and stormed out of the room. She didn't like the reaction she had gotten from the guys. She had thought that they would be happy but both looked pissed off at them.

"Em we are happy for you guys, it was just a bit of a shock." Brennan said.

"Yeah of course were happy for you. God I feel like such an asshole now. Maybe I should go talk to her?" Jesse asked.

"No I think she just needs some time. I'll go talk to her, tell her that you guys are fine with us." Emma said standing up and walking off in the direction of Shalimar's bedroom.

Shalimar lay on her bed. She knew that she had over reacted a little bit but she was still upset at how Brennan and Jesse had reacted. She was pulled from her thoughts by the feeling of someone cuddling into her from behind, but she didn't jump she new that it was Emma. Emma wrapped an arm around Shalimar's middle and rested her chin on her shoulder.

"Im sorry." Shalimar whispered

"What for?" Emma asked a little confused.

"For over reacting and walking out and leaving you." Emma nodded then spoke up.

"Shal the guys said they're sorry and wanted me to tell you that they are supportive of us"

"I guess I never really gave them a chance did I?" Shalimar turned to face Emma who was surprised to see that the feral had unshed tears in her eyes.

"No but that's one of the thing I love about you. You say how you feel and react on your instinct." Shalimar smiled at hearing that and placed a soft kiss on Emma's lips.

"It's wierd though" Emma said bringing her hand up to play with Shalimar's hair, "I always thought that after we told the guys it would be me who was upset and you comforting me." Shalimar laughed at what Emma had just said, she had always thought that too.

"You never know that might still happen, we still have to tell Adam." Shalimar laughed out. Emma smiled and just stared at the woman in front of her who had won her heart in less than a month.

"What?" Shalimar asked after she realised that Emma was staring at her.

"Nothing it's just I can't believe how much I love you." Shalimar smiled at Emma's words.

"I love you too." Their faces came together in a loving kiss. Emma ran her tongue across Shalimar's bottom lip seeking entry which Shalimar had no objections with, the kiss became more heated, desire taking over both of them.

Brennan and Jesse were still sitting where Emma and Shalimar had left them. They still felt guilty about the way they had reacted and how upset it had made Shalimar. Adam walked in and saw that something was wrong with the guys.

"What's wrong?" He asked cautiously. Brennan and Jesse jumped at hearing his voice.

"We um kind of upset Shal and we just feel a little guilty, it's nothing to worry about Adam." Jesse spoke up. It wasn't his place to tell Adam about their relationship so he said nothing.

"Oh. Is she ok?" Adam asked concerned.

"We don't know. Emma went to talk to her and that was about fifteen minutes ago." Brennan answered.

"Oh ok. Well im going to bed." Adam said walking towards the sleeping quarters. "I'll check on the girls before I do though."

The guys nodded in agreement, then Jesse realised something.

"Brennan, I think the girls will have finished talking by now."

"Yeah, your point being..." Brennan asked.

"Well I doubt that they're sleeping." Jesse added.

Brennan realised what Jesse was saying but didn't understand what the problem was. Then he remembered Adam's last sentance.

"Shit, Adam." He said jumping up and running towards the bedroom, Jesse not far behind him.

Adam knocked on the door again. Still no answer. He tried the door and found that it was not locked. He pushed it open but didn't have a chance to look in as he stopped when he heard Jesse and Brennan shouting.

"Adam wait don't go in there."

Adam looked at them confused then looked into the bedroom to see what they were talking about. His jaw dropped just like the guys had done and his face turned a deep shade of red. He quickly closed the door and turned to look at Jesse and Brennan who were now by his side.

Emma and Shalimar sat in the same position that Adam had just saw them. They were both naked in the middle of Shalimar's bed sitting up. Shalimar was sitting on top of Emma straddling her. They were to entrapped in what they were doing to hear Adam's knock's and only realised when they heard shouting in the hallway. They had both looked towards the door to see Adam quickly closing it.

Emma buried her head into Shalimar's neck when she realised that she hadn't locked the door.

"Well I kinda think Adam knows now." Shalimar laughed. Emma lifted her head to give the feral a stern look. "Oh don't look at me like that, it's funny."

"I don't think it's funny. The person we think of as a father has just walked in on us having sex. It's embarassing not funny. What if he can look at us ever again..." She was silenced by Shalimar kissing her hard which made them fall back onto the bed.

"You were rambling and you just looked so sexy I couldn't help myself sorry." Shalimar said when they broke apart. She rolled off of Emma and lay by her side.

"I was being serious Shal."

"I know you were but everything is going to be ok. We'll wait until morning to go see everyone and everything will be fine. Adam will probably just laugh it off." Emma looked at Shalimar for a moment.

"Yeah your right." She finally said leaning over to kiss her lover. After a few moments Shalimar pulled away and rolled out of bed. Emma looked at her confused.

"Where you going?"

"Making sure we get no more interuption." Shalimar explained before locking the door.
