As their lips touched, Jo moved her hand up to hold Sam's face. Sam wrapped an arm around the brunette's waist. Both women simultaneously opened their mouths to let in the others' tongue. Protruding passed Sam's teeth and swirling round her mouth, it was as if Jo's tongue was in search for something. That something being greater enjoyment. Sam let out a sigh, this time being one of pleasure.

The smaller woman's hands went to the shoulders of her much taller companion; she pushed Jo backwards slightly, looked her straight in the eyes and gave her a cheeky smile. Sam then began to undo the small buttons of the blue blouse Jo was wearing. Laying back some more, till her head reached the cushion, Jo let the blonde continue her mission. Letting out a little giggle Sam parted the blouse, and then leant in towards the stunning brunette, now underneath her. The two women kissed again, but only for an instance before the smaller woman made her descend on to the breasts of the other, much taller, woman.

"This is all I dreamt about while I was away." Sam whispered. Jo, in a slight state of shock, questioned the blonde.

"You dreamt about me?" Moving Jo's bra to one side, the blonde took the now visible nipple into her mouth, gently sucking it, letting go, then raising her head, she said,

"Does that answer your question Ms Masters?"

"Mm hmm..." came a soft reply, from the lips of Jo, who clearly felt as if she were in heaven at that moment.

"I never knew you felt that way about me," Jo continued. "I can't believe you never told me."

"I didn't know what you'd say, how you'd react, I couldn't tell anyone... Especially not while I was still in Bristol, you're why I came back Jo - you and only you! I missed you…" The blonde's sentence trailed off. Jo pulled Sam into her and kissed her once again, wiping away the tears that had been forming in those blue eyes that had been looking at her.

Taking Sam's hands and sitting them both up, Jo replied. "You are silly... And I missed you too! Why don't I get us both drinks and we can discuss where things go from here yeah?" Jo slowly let go of the blonde's hands and stroked her own hand over Sam's leg as she stood up to go towards the kitchen. Bringing the wine back through, that she had once previously offered to Sam, she put it on the table and sat down on the sofa once again.

"Jo I told you I'm driving, I can't drink." Jo looked across at her friend and former colleague.

"Stay the night then…?" she half questioned. "I don't have to work tomorrow." Sam looked a little startled by this, as if Jo was moving things far too fast for her, even though she herself had initially started all of this.

"I've got a spare room if you want to stay in there?" Jo had waited a long time for Sam to realise the feelings she had for the taller woman and she didn't want to blow things now.
