"Adam please tell them they can stay!" Jesse pleaded, his eyes clouded with tears.

"Shalimar," Adam said the feral's name, the rest of the sentence stuck in his throat.

"Take care Jess," Shalimar instructed as she hugged him goodbye.

"You too," Jesse mumbled, unable to fully comprehend the fact that his surrogate sister was leaving, the situation had arisen so quickly it was making his head swim. "Emma it was nice meeting you. Break Shal's heart and I'll personally hunt you down,"

"Jesse you have nothing to worry about there, I love her with all my heart and she knows that she doesn't have to come if she doesn't want to," Emma assured as she smiled at her lover who smiled back in return.

Shalimar watched her Emma zipping up her red leather jacket and quickly followed suit. After one last, lingering hug Shal climbed on to her beloved motorbike, with Emma climbing on behind her. Shalimar revved the engine as she glanced back one final time at her old life, noticing Adam's retreating form. Diverting her attention back to the road ahead, Shal swiftly pulled away speeding off towards a new life with her lover.

Emma wrapped her long arms comfortingly around Shal's waist, sensing the tension within her body. Neither woman was sure where they were headed or what lay in store for them, but one thing was certain they weren't going back to Emma's flat, not now Adam knew where it was.

Emma held on to Shalimar tighter as the bike rounded a corner, her hands sliding down slightly to caress the firm thighs of her lover, her hands gliding easily over the smooth leather trousers which hugged Shalimar's every curve brilliantly.

Shalimar loved the feel of Emma's delicate hands on her, even if they did distract her slightly from her driving. It took all of her will-power to not pull the bike over at the side of the road and take Emma right there and then.

Luckily Shalimar spotted a flashing neon sign indicating a motel, which the two of them would now be staying at. Shal breathed an inward sigh of relief at her luck, not sure how much longer she would have been able to continue driving with Emma unconsciously determined to try and send her body into a frenzy of torturous pleasure. Shalimar parked the bike and locked it securely, not trusting anyone around her baby and Emma couldn't blame her girlfriend for being slightly over-protective of it, especially when Shal looked so hot on it.

Emma watched intrigued as Shalimar removed her helmet, her golden locks tumbling down her back once more, falling effortlessly into place with a quick flick of her head which seemed to happen in slow-motion Emma thought. It wasn't until Shal stood with her arms wrapped around Emma's waist, grinning up at her that she snapped out of her daydream.

"You ok honey?" Shal asked an eyebrow cocked.

"Umm yeah, fine," Emma smiled as she shook her head slightly as if to clear it.

"Well let's go in, I think I'm in desperate need of a cold shower," A still grinning feral took Emma's hand and lead them both inside.

"Wow that was some shower, we ended up more in need of one than before," Shalimar chuckled as she finished drying herself as Emma did the same.

"So much for you feral's not liking water," Emma teased.

"Well when you make it that fun I'm damn sure that I could spend all day under running water. Just so long as it's with you," Shal grinned somewhat flirtatiously.

Emma laughed before it turned into a yawn, slipping her now dry self into the double bed, watching as Shalimar sauntered over to the bed, clad in nothing but her towel, which slipped off as she crawled gracefully up the bed towards Emma.

"Well I would love to test that theory, but I just don't have the stamina you feral's do," Emma explained half seriously as Shal slipped under the covers allowing Emma to mould herself into her body.

Shalimar kissed Emma's forehead softly, before telling her, "I think I'd better let you get some sleep then baby."

"Are you ok Sweetie?" Emma asked not wanting to read Shal.

"Yeah, I think you saw to that," Shal faked a grin.

"Seriously Shal, after everything that's happened you don't blame me do you?" Emma asked need assurance.

"Emma of course I don't blame you. I love you for God's sake. If anyone is to blame, it's Adam and his bloody-mindedness. Ok so I'm a bit….no a lot disappointed with Adam's reaction but I want to be with you, from no until forever," Shalimar said as Emma listened intently, feeling quite choked up at her girlfriends emotional words.

"I love you too," Emma stated, kissing Shalimar passionately before falling asleep in her arms.
