Chapter 3

Emma jerked awake when she heard a knock on Shalimar's bedroom door. She tried to untangle herself from Shalimar but the feral just pulled her closer and mumbled.

"Leave it, they'll go away." Emma was far to tired to object so she cuddled back into Shalimar once again. But before she could close her eyes there was a louder more insistent knock accompanied by a voice.

"Shal, Em, open up it's me, it's important." Came Jesse's voice. Both awoke fully at hearing this.

"Just give us a minute." Shalimar shouted. She stood up and handed Emma her robe and dressed herself in her clothes that were thrown across the room from last night. She walked upto the door, unlocked it and opened it allowing Jesse to step inside.

"Shal im sorry about last night." He said apoligising for the way he had reacted last night.

"Me too I shouldn't have over reacted like that." She said pulling him into a quick hug. "So what's so important that you had to wake me from a more than pleasant dream." Shalimar teased whilst casting a glance at Emma indicating what the dream had been about.

"Ok, I did not just see that." Jesse said starting to blush. "Anyway like I said this is really important, I think you guys better sit down." Once they were seated he spoke up again. "Um last night after Adam caught you guys he kinda went off on one."

"What?" Shalimar and Emma said in unison. "What did he say?"

"Well he wasn't making much sense but he was mumbling that it was unacceptable and um..." He trailed off.

"And what Jesse?" Emma asked.

"And he said it was sick. Im sorry I just thought you should know."

Emma and Shalimar sat there gobsmacked. Out of everyone they had thought that Adam would be the most supportive of them.

"I'll leave you two alone." Jesse said walking to the door.

"Thanks Jesse." Shalimar said standing up and locking the door behind him. She turned back to Emma to see that she was crying. She walked up to her and sat next to her pulling her into a comforting embrace.

"Sssh baby it's going to be fine. We don't know everything yet, maybe he was just freaked at finding out like that." She said trying to convince herself more than Emma. After a few minutes of silence Emma pulled back and looked at Shalimar with a pleading expression.

"Please don't leave me."

"What! Emma don't even think like that. I would never leave you. We'll get through this together." She explained pulling Emma back into her arms.

"I know im sorry, it's just I know how much Adam means to you and him not accepting us means that he doesn't accept a part of you." Emma whispered into the ferals neck. Shalimar pulled her back and kissed her lovingly.

"Adam does mean a lot to me but I love you a million times more." Shalimar said once the kiss was finished. Emma smiled and asked.

"A million. Really?" She said laughing.

"Yeah. No one even comes close to you." Shalimar said smiling at seeing Emma lighening up a little bit.

"See the tables have turned back to the way we thought?" Shalimar said trying to dry Emma's eyes with her thumbs.

"How's that?"

"Well your the one who is upset and im the one comforting you. Things are back to the way we thought." Emma laughed thinking back to what she had said the day before.

"Maybe we should get ready and go see everyone?" Emma suggested.

"You sure if your not ready we can wait 'til later. I can think of better things to do." Shalimar said while slipping her hand under her robe which Emma had on and moving it further up her thigh. Emma quickly slapped her hand away.

"Shalimar! How can you think of having sex at a time like this?" Emma asked a guilty looking feral. Emma started laughing then stood up.

"Ok im going to go and get ready and so should you. First one ready comes to the others room?" Emma instructed looking down at a very disappointed Shalimar. She leaned down and pulled the blonde into a passionate kiss, but just as Shalimar was getting into she pulled away and started to walk to the door.

"Your a tease, you know that?" Shalimar shouted across to Emma who was walking through their joint bathroom. Emma turned around and flashed Shalimar a sexy grin before closing the door.

Shalimar sat on her bed then stood up walking toward the bathroom.

"Definitly need a cold shower now."
