Facing each other as they stood by the bed, their lips meet briefly before Charlie felt herself being gently pushed onto her back. She smiles up at Joey as she moves over her. Hooking her hands behind Joey's neck, she pulls her down, capturing her lips. They were both gasping for air when the kiss ended.

Joey stares into her eyes. "I love you so much."

Charlie's heart skips at the desire in Joey's eyes. "I love you too, oh fuck," she moans when Joey slips her hand between her legs.

"So I see." Joey grins as Charlie's thighs parted even further for her. Her fingers brushed through the damp curls, gliding teasingly along the slick folds. "Tell me what you want," her finger playing lightly with Charlie's clit.

"I want you inside me," Charlie begs, raising her hips against Joey's hand. She whimpers in disappointment when Joey removes her hand.

"Not just yet," Joey tells her. She takes each of Charlie's hands in hers and presses them down on the bed above Charlie's head and lies completely on top of her, their breasts crushing against each other.

"You're going to kill me," Charlie moans when Joey's knee moves between her legs.

"Death by sex, what a way to go," Joey says, gasping when she rubs her own wet heat along Charlie's thigh. She captures Charlie's lips as they gently thrust against each other, their wetness allowing them to glide easily along bare skin, their nipples dancing together as the room was filled with the sounds of their passion. Urged on by the sounds, they thrust more urgently.

"Fuck," Charlie groaned into Joey's mouth, her body spasming in her climax, Joey quickly following her over.

"God, what you do to me," Joey pants, releasing Charlie's hands and falling on her side next to her.

Charlie runs her fingers along Joey's side. "Do you need to rest?"

Joey props herself up on her elbow, seeing the challenge in Charlie's eyes. "Are you forgetting our first night together?"

"I haven't forgotten a single second of that night."

"Then you know I don't need to rest right now."

"Good, because I still want you inside me."

"Like this?" her fingers already dipping into Charlie's wet heat but not quite entering.

"More," Charlie pants when Joey casually flicks her clit.

Joey smirks at the sounds coming from her lover and lets one finger slip inside, Charlie almost sighing in pleasure. She leans over, swiping her tongue over one of the hardened nipples, then the other before sucking one into her mouth.

"Ahh," Charlie moans, the pleasure in her nipples and sex quickly merging.

Joey adds another finger, her thumb stroking Charlie's clit while her mouth alternates between Charlie's nipples.

"Harder," Charlie pleaded.

Joey granted her plea, sucking harder on each nipple while her fingers moved faster and deeper into her.

Charlie grunted and moaned as she thrust herself frantically against Joey's hand. When Joey added a third finger, it was too much, her body trembling and clutching tightly around the invading fingers as she screamed out in pleasure.

"You are so beautiful," Joey whispers in wonder as Charlie climaxes.

Charlie lies with her eyes closed, breathing heavily, her body twitching again when Joey's fingers leave her.

"Do you need to rest?" Joey teases.

"Give me a second or two and I'll be ready again." She opens one eye, glaring at the woman who was now whistling in impatience.

Joey grins when she sees the glare, "It's ok, take your time."

"You're going to pay for that." Before she knew what had happened, Joey was on her back with Charlie over her, kissing her way down her body, pausing to lavish attention to her breasts.

Charlie grinned as she felt Joey squirming beneath her. She spent a few more minutes sucking and teasing Joey's nipples, before continuing with her downward path, the evidence of Joey's desire clear to see.

"Please," Joey begged when she felt Charlie's warm breath on her sex.

Charlie positioned Joey's legs over her shoulders. "I really can't get enough of you," she murmurs, swiping her tongue through the wetness.

"Yes," Joey pants, her hips arching off the bed.

She curled her tongue and entered her lover, plunging in and out, the sounds of Joey's pleasure rising with each thrust. Charlie slipped her tongue from Joey, quickly replacing it with her fingers as her mouth found her clit.

"Oh fuck." Joey's breath was coming in ragged gasps as Charlie plunged her fingers deeper into her, her mouth sucking her clit in, her teasing tongue having Joey bucking wildly against her. She felt Joey's inner walls grip her fingers, moments before Joey was screaming loudly as wave after wave of ecstasy ripped through her. She removed her fingers and moved back up the bed, kissing Joey deeply before she could even catch her breath. Breaking the kiss, Charlie falls onto her back beside Joey.

"Oh wow," Joey says, still struggling for breath.

"Give me a second or two and I'll be ready again," Charlie jokes in a tired voice.

Chuckling, Joey rolls onto her side, gazing longingly at her lover. "Second or two is up."

"Ok, give me a bit longer."

"Take your time this time because we have the rest of our lives to make love."

Charlie rolls over to face Joey. "I love the sound of that, the rest of our lives."

"That's what I want Charlie, you forever."

She raises her hand to Joey's face. "I want that more than anything." She presses her lips to Joey's in a tender kiss, their fingers each finding each other again. Side by side, they thrust gently into each other, unhurried as they kissed. As they slowly headed to a joint climax, their eyes locked on each other, each falling deeply into the other's at the moment they peaked.

"Ok, now I do need to rest," Joey says, her body tired but in a very pleasurable way.

Charlie lifts her head up, surveiling the room. The bed sheets were bunched up, her uniform was in a heap on the floor and the two of them were bathed in sweat. Remembering how loud their lovemaking had been, an embarrassing thought occurred to her. "How thick do you think these walls are?"

Joey smirks at her. "Now you ask that?"

"I was a little preoccupied before," she says with a blush.

"They're thick enough and I did make sure to take a room that only had one room next to it, one I happened to also book."

"You booked two rooms?" Charlie says in surprise.

"Considering how our first night was and that we've been apart for months since then," she shrugs. "Call it a feeling."

"That we'd scream the house down?" Charlie adds with a grin.

"I knew I wouldn't be able to help myself, not when I was finally back in your arms." She had thought their first night together had been special, but the months of longing and love they felt for each other, had made the last couple of hours even better.

"Well I'm glad you were capable of rational thought, because I haven't been able to think of anything else, especially after your little tease at the station."

"I can't believe I actually did that."

"It certainly made the rest of my day interesting."

"So, did I make it up to you like I said I would?"

"I think there's still some way to go after leaving me in that aroused state in the middle of work."

"In that case," she rests her hand teasingly on Charlie's belly. "When do you have to go home?"

Charlie sighs at the reminder of the outside world. She glances over at the clock on the side table. "I need to leave in about twenty."

Joey takes her hand away in disappointment. "There's a spare towel in the bathroom if you want to shower before you go."

"I don't want to go," she pouts. "But Ruby's going to be home from her friend's soon."

"It's fine Charlie." She brushes her lips over hers. "I'll still be here tomorrow, and the next day and every day after that."

"It's hard being apart from you even for a second though."

"Unfortunately, we can't go through life joined at the hip."

"That would make work kind of awkward." She kisses Joey once more before reluctantly crawling off the bed. Glancing down at herself, she decides that she'd better take that shower.

When she was alone, Joey rolled onto her back, staring at the ceiling. After how difficult it had been to walk away from Charlie all those months ago, Joey knew it would be impossible to do it again. She wasn't fooling herself that this would be easy, there was still Angelo and the divorce to deal with and she had a feeling her father wouldn't let this rest either, but waking this morning in the arms of Charlie and spending the last couple of hours making love with her, just reaffirmed what she had tried to push aside for all these months; her heart and soul well and truly belonged to the gorgeous woman who made her feel things she never thought possible.

Hearing the shower running, she decided she wasn't quite yet willing to be apart from Charlie.


Charlie practically floated down to her car, now running a little late after Joey had joined her in the shower and finally made it up to her. She knew that the real world would come crashing down on her tomorrow when she had to deal with the stares and whispers of people judging her, but Charlie didn't care. Right now, she was the most alive she'd ever felt, despite the tiredness in her body, but it was a good type of tired and she hoped to feel like this many more times. She glances up at the window to Joey's room. With Joey in her life, she could face anything and with that in mind, she climbs into her car and drives away.
