[A/N] Finally! An update. I'm sorry this one took so long, I hit the wall hard. Writer's block is really difficult to overcome, but I got there eventually. I want to thank you all, for your continued support, it still continues to blow my mind that people actually enjoy reading this (not so little) little Paily adventure, so thank you. In the end this chapter was a lot of fun to write, I hope it at least brings a little smile to your face, as it did for me writing it. Enjoy.


"And so she returns." Hanna commented the moment she spotted her best friend edge in around the apartment door. "Soo come on spill."

"Hanna, I have nothing to spill." Emily shook her head, the girl unable to hold back the blinding white smile on her features.

"Oh come on, Em. Look at that smile plastered on your face, it must have been good. Paige must have finally eased some of that tension." Hanna grinned coyly, carefully reading the situation.

"Hanna, no! I have to get ready for work anyway." Emily blushed just enough to add a tint of rose to the apples of her cheeks, her heart still hammering in her chest, butterflies raged within her stomach as the echo of Paige's words sounded in her memory. She loved her.

They loved each other.

"So you're really not going to give me anything?"

"Fine... let's say, I finally got to get up close and personal with Paige's tattoo." Emily smirked. Of course what she said wasn't completely true; Emily had already attacked, relished and adored on Paige's tattoo many times before last night, she was practically obsessed with the piece of body art, but she knew the information was enough to tease at the blonde's wandering thoughts.

"Paige has a tattoo?! Since when?" Hanna's eyes went wide with intrigue. "Sounds hot." She spoke out loud but only to clarify the thought with herself. "You have to tell me more!" She turned, pleading for a little more information.

"I really have to go and get ready, Han." Emily headed towards her bedroom shooting a wink at her best friend.

"Such a tease, Emily Fields." Hanna shouted in return. "I bet Paige likes that. Does she? " She added playfully, trying her luck once more.

"Hanna!"

"Oh, actually don't go making plans for the weekend, we get to party it up in Long Island... sadly only for one day, we have to be back in New York for the Sunday."

"Han, Long Island was supposed to be a birthday surprise... for you?!" the taller girl peered around the corner of her bedroom in the process of getting changed, sceptically examining the blonde once she finally caught sight of her.

"Wait, what is that on your shoulder? Emily Catherine Fields, I am shocked and appalled! Was that a bite mark?" Emily immediately disappeared back into her room, slamming the door shut before the blonde could embarrass her further, the glint in Hanna's eye only glistening more, now tickled with intrigue.

"Hanna, no!"

"So little innocent Em is into tattoos, and Paige McCullers is a biter. Interesting." Hanna grinned mischievously.

"Do you and Caleb not have an interesting sex life, is that why you have to pry into others?" Emily teased back, she was now finally dressed and ready for work, ready to go she grabbed a cup of coffee from the coffee maker.

"You don't have to worry about me and Caleb, Em. How'd you think I got him to tell me about my birthday plans?" She winked.

Emily's face rolled up in disgust "Some things are better left unknown." She moved forward hugging the wiry blonde goodbye, "Paige is coming over later, be nice."

"You don't have to worry that pretty little head of yours, Paigey is well able to handle herself." Hanna waved her friend goodbye, a teasing smirk licking to her lips.


"Hanna, no! Stop!" Emily could just about make out her girlfriend's voice as she put the key in the latch, the scene only becoming more comical as she saw Hanna chasing Paige around the room desperately trying to grab at her shirt.

"Please, Paige. I just want to see..." Hanna whined, neither of the two noticing her enter the apartment.

"You know I'm going to kill, Em for..." Paige huffed in frustration, still fighting off the blonde's overtly touchy advances.

"You're going to kill Em, for what... exactly?" Emily coughed out loudly, finally catching the two's attention.

"Oh hi?" Paige responded rubbing nervously at the back of her neck, Emily quickly picked up on how her girlfriend was also biting at the corner of her lip, a nervous habit when she was caught off-guard.

"Yeah, oh hi? Now what exactly am I being killed for?" Emily spoke again, a sleek severity to her tone as she continued winding up the brunette. Hanna took a step back, finding the purest whim of joy in watching Paige squirm, her eyes wide with child-like amusement.

"Why did you tell her about my tattoo? She hasn't stopped begging to see it since I got here. Even Caleb gave up, he snuck off with little Jacob to the park." Paige all but whined at her girlfriend, causing the tanned girl to feign pity, before laughing with a sweetened sense of endearment.

"It's Hanna, Pay. You've seen those penetrating blue eyes, you know what she's like." A sickly smug grin growing on Hanna's face, she almost sniggered with pride.

"I know, but can you tell your friend to stop invading my personal space, and trying to rip my clothes off." The brunette sulked once more.

"I can hardly blame her though." Emily sauntered forward, pulling her girlfriend towards her as she grabbed a fistful of the girl's loose cut-off tank material. Paige was momentarily rendered speechless, but no words were necessary, when she could say everything she felt in the moment once she sought out Emily lips, with her own.

"Okay, gross." Hanna rolled her eyes exaggeratingly and tip-toed back over to the kitchen.

"Are you, like, five?" Emily mocked, looking at the blonde earning a stuck out tongue in response. Her body and Paige's, naturally moving closer as she leaned further into the others girl's comforting hold. She yawned, her whole body and mind tired after a hard day at work, together they moved to sit on the couch where Emily curled closer into Paige, leaning her head on her girlfriend's broad shoulder seeking further comfort.

"Tired, Em?"

"Mmmhmm, maybe we could just stay here tonight? We can order some food, watch a movie. I mean you don't have to stay..." Emily rambled on in her exhausted state.

"Sounds good. I got a lot of work done today, so I shouldn't need to head into the office until noon." Paige interrupted, kissing her cheek.

"Excuse me, I never agreed to Paige staying in my home. I might be persuaded to say yes, if I get a sneak peek at someone's tattoo though?" Hanna's voice drawled with charm, she was an expert at keeping up her little game.

"Fine, but only because you're slowly driving me insane, Blondie!" Paige rolled her eyes, releasing a breathy chuckle.

"Wait, no..." Emily's voice was low, Paige almost sure she heard a murmuring of the word mine fall from her lips too. The slightly taller girl suddenly feeling possessive, her hands crawling across Paige's abs to trace the surface of skin she adored so much, she knew instinctively where the inked skin lay without even have to see the bare flesh. A wave of butterflies, attacking Paige's inside with the subtle sign of possessiveness, Emily showed.

"Okay, compromise Han. It's your birthday in like five days I can show you then?" Paige kissed Emily's temple, her girlfriend was near half-asleep on her shoulder, yet her delicate fingers continued tracing the precious piece of skin.

"Fine, I can wait. That reminds me, you're both free this Saturday and Sunday?"

"Yep. Saturday for the beach house stay on Long Island, Sunday the company's not so surprise, surprise birthday party for you." Emily added, confirming her conversation with the blonde from earlier in the day.

"Yeah, busy weekend ahead. Twenty-five, may as well go big or go home. I'm excited for Saturday, it should be nice just having the whole gang back together in one place, it'll be pretty chill. Then with the fashion company throwing me a party as well, that will be insane. I think there's 100 VIPS attending, basically the people I want there... and then up to 500 guests, people of the public who want to pay to attend, the proceeds are all going to charity."

"When you say beach house on Long Island, is this going to be another surprise we tricked you, it's actually a mansion." Paige questioned, an intrigued glint in her eye.

"Kinda. It's actually Caleb's mom and step-dad's holiday home on the east coast, they stay there with the twins when they come to visit. It's not as big as Spence's cabin, but it's nice and there's a small converted shed beside it. I think Aria and Ezra want to stay in that, she currently crippled with morning sickness and doesn't want to subject us to it... which I mean is understandable"

"Nice, I'm looking forward to it. You, Em?" Paige questioned, only to earn an incoherent murmur. Emily was out for the count. The raven-haired girl now safely snuggled into Paige's side, quietly snoring into her ear.

"I'll order us some food, let her sleep and we can wake her as soon as it arrives... or you can, she might actually act nice to you when she's awakened unexpectedly." Hanna half-joked.

"Yeah, that won't happen, Han." Paige nodded, knowing it was wishful thinking on both their behalves.


"Good morning, beautiful." Emily had woken up first, she had to be in work for eight am and was sitting at her vanity getting ready when she noticed Paige begin to stir, a smile growing as she initially caught sight of Paige's hand search the bed, no doubt in search of her presence. She eventually danced across the floor kneeling next to bed, brushing the dishevelled bed head mess of hair out of her girlfriend's face.

"Mornin' my love." Paige just about managed to speak, her voice thick with sleep as she nuzzled into Emily's warm palm, lovingly caressing her cheek. Emily's heart soaring, Paige hadn't called her my love since they were together five years ago. Paige, now a little more awake pulled Emily closer wrapping her arms around the tanned beauty's waist pulling her up onto the bed, attaching her lips in a languid kiss, silencing the unexpected screech echoing out of Emily's mouth. "I'm gonna miss you, Em."

"Shit, I totally forgot you were heading back to Rosewood after work today. I won't see you 'til Friday night, now." She pouted.

"Yep, whatever will you do?" Paige teased, threatening to tickle the raven haired girl simple to cheer her up.

"Don't you dare, McCullers!" Emily warned, a stern look in her eye.

"Make me." Her fingers almost instantaneously digging into her girlfriend's sides, the slightly taller girl immediately squirming now overcome with uncontrollable laughter.

"P...P...Paige stop!" Emily yelled through her laughter. Finally finding enough strength to pull Paige's arms off her, she pinned them above the brunette's head, within an instant Emily's lips found Paige's, a lustful moan rolling between then as Emily's tongue sensually swiped along Paige's lower lip, before sucking it into her mouth.

"I'm gonna miss you, too." She whispered, Paige embracing the girl's already swollen lips once more.

"Come on, get that pretty little butt of yours off to work. You don't want to be late." Paige sniggered, carefully pushing Emily up off her, lightly tapping the girl's backside as soon as she stood.

"I'll see you, Friday." Emily voiced, pecking at Paige's lips once.

"Yes, you will."

"Have fun in Rosewood, and tell your Dad I said happy birthday. I know you're getting the train but text me when you get there, please?" Emily rambled on standing at the bedroom door, she was still a little hot and bothered from their impromptu make-out session.

"I will. Don't worry." Paige was enamoured with the concern in her girlfriend's voice, chuckling as she watched a flustered Emily try to race out the door so she wouldn't be late.

"Oh... and Paige?" Emily re-entered the room.

"Yes?" Paige responded, a knowing smirk on her face.

"I love you."

"I love you too, Em."


"About time you two showed up." Caleb remarked as soon as he noticed Emily and Paige enter the living area of the beach house.

"We got lost" Paige and Emily replied in the unison, the response obviously rehearsed.

"Yeah right, I'm guessing you guys took a little pit stop on the way out here." Spencer eyed them suspiciously.

"Actually no, but your friend here did decide to get a little handsy just before we left. What can I say, I had to oblige such a beautiful lady" Paige smirked, Toby and Caleb shaking their heads scoffing the word McCullers under their breaths.

"Heeey, way to sell me out, P." Emily sulked, "I hadn't seen you for four days. I missed you."

"Yeah you guys were right, they are gross." Aria interrupted, she was somewhat hidden sitting on the couch in the background.

"Oh my god, Aria, hi. How are you... and your belly bump, woah!" Emily exclaimed, excited to see her friend.

"Hey, Cull! You finished drooling after your girl, no more of that lovey dovey crap. We need you to sit in for Fitz, he's only getting us killed." Toby shouted over at the brunette, Ezra looking a little worse for wear no doubt subject to a severe taunting by Toby and Caleb. They hated losing. Once she noticed Emily was happy with her friends, who were all now fawning over Aria and her baby bump, she sauntered over to join the boys.

"Jesus P, you've got it bad." Caleb laughed nudging into his best friend's shoulder.

"Jealous much, Rivers?" She joked back. The banter continued bouncing between them for the rest of the afternoon, the joking only easing or becoming a little more PG anytime little Jacob, or their respective partners were in ear shot.


Later that night, Hanna choose a restaurant for them all to eat. It was a small, intimate and rustic Italian restaurant famed for it's pasta, in particular. They weren't long seated when Paige felt her phone vibrate in her pocket out of politeness she would usually just ignore it, that changed after her dad's heart attack. She felt okay taking it out to have a look, their food hadn't arrived yet and she could judge from the sender's name whether it warranted a further look or even a reply, either way at least she would have some peace of mind.

1 New Message : Em.

Her eyebrows knitted together, looking up from the screen to search the girl sat next to her. Emily nodded with air of nonchalance, encouraging her girlfriend to open the message. Paige hesitated for a moment before doing as Emily had requested.

I'm feeling a little generous tonight. I didn't just get Han a present, I got one for you too. ;)

Paige looked up confused even more so now, a smug grin on Emily's face. The raven haired girl finished tapping on her own phone before throwing it back into bag. Taking one last glance at Paige's confused features before she fell back into her conversation with those around the table. Paige looked at her phone, but no message came through. Shrugging her shoulders, she guessed she had to wait a little while longer to know exactly what Emily meant. She had only just placed it back into her pocket when she felt it vibrate once again, noticing the keen smirk growing on Emily's face, Paige couldn't avoid the temptation of seeing what the next message withheld. The familiar words glaring back at her once again.

1 New Message : Em [Attachment].

The text was blank, Emily really was doing a good job at causing her a mindful of confusion. Finally, she clicked on the attachment allowing it to download. The instant her eyes scanned the photo, her breath was violently stolen from her lungs, her mouth dry causing her to cough desperately reaching for a glass of water so she could stop the cough before drawing to much attention to herself. Unfortunately it was too late.

"Paige are you okay?" It was Ezra who pointed it out first.

"Umm... uhh... yeah fine" She turned red in an instant, her palms becoming sweaty. Her whole body suddenly overwhelmed with feeling; burning hot like fire yet slowly sizzling like electricity. A shudder rolled down her spine, shooting a wave of pleasure to her most sensitive spots. The image on her phone flashing wickedly, tortuously on her mind as she tried to calm herself. Emily has sent Paige a photo of herself lying on their bed at the beach house, she was wearing nothing but a black semi see-through one piece, the lingerie hugging her body in all the best places accentuating her boobs and smoothing along the curve of her waist and hips, her long bronzed legs looked like they went on for miles. The photo, a sneak peek of what she was wearing under her dress right now. Paige loved nothing more than seeing Emily trail around her apartment in nothing but a pair of boy briefs, her glasses and a loose t-shirt, that to her, was when Emily looked her most beautiful. But seeing the look of fiery confidence and sexiness burning in Emily's beautiful coffee-coloured almond shaped eyes, was simply breath taken. It only seemed to turn her on more with the idea that Emily wanted to dress up like that, for her. That alone was enough to completely shatter Paige's mind. Paige couldn't wait to get her hands all over her girlfriend's body.

"Are you sure?" Spencer intervened, her eyes trailing over the girl's features examining her further.

"Umm yeah, the appetiser was maybe a little too spicy" Paige coughed again, her mind going blank of any logical explanations.

"We didn't eat yet?" Hanna chuckled, suddenly amused.

"Oh yeah, I was... uhh... I was joking. I just didn't want to put anyone off their meals but I just swallowed a fly." Paige tried her best to cover herself.

"A spicy fly, huh?" Aria laughed.

"ha ha ha. I know weird right." Paige forced out, pretty sure if it was possible to die from embarrassment she was well on the way to death's door.

"Come on, give her break." Emily finally spoke up, she was enjoying this far too much but she knew she needed to do some saving too. Everyone was still somewhat sceptical regarding Paige's explanation but decided against furthering the joke, after Emily's pointed look. "You're okay, right babe?" Emily moved closer to Paige, her hand reaching out to support herself on Paige's thigh it just happened to be strategically placed a little higher than usual, her voice also honing a slight rasp, her lips lingering a few seconds longer when she offered a kiss to the brunette's cheeks. Paige swallowed hard once more, subconsciously biting down on her bottom lip fighting the need to release a frustrated moan. Thankfully the group were focused back on each other's conversation and didn't notice the burning hot tension sizzling between the two girls.

"Are you trying to kill me?" Paige whispered, her eyes burning deep into Emily's.

"Maybe." Emily winked smugly. "We'll see how well I do, later on." Paige was dying, Emily had her completely worked up, wound so tight, to the point Emily's body and what she wanted to do to it, were all she could think about. The rest of the group only grew more frustrated with Paige's distracted behaviour as the evening progressed, they were confused every time Paige ignored a question, miss-heard or answered something completely wrong when they tried to engage her in conversation. Emily felt cruel but yet a part of her was secretly loving every second of seeing Paige flounder.

They main course came and went thankfully a lot smoother than Paige thought it would, using every ounce of will power she had, she tried her very best to block the image of Emily out of her mind. It, of course, was still there torturing her, but at least for the minute she could just about piece together a coherent sentence, whenever a question was aimed her way.

"I'm quickly going to run to the ladies, before dessert." Emily stood, no-one was really paying much attention, mainly focused on a story Aria was telling. "Maybe you need to go too." She whispered into Paige's ear, her words left hanging as she nipped at her girlfriend's ear before standing to leave, the blush on the brunette's cheeks intensifying, once more. She had remained quiet over the course of their starters and main as much as she could, overwhelmed with desire every time she felt Emily touch her body, she felt electrified, her mind working in overdrive trying her best to sit still enough to simply get through the meal. She could have Emily as soon as they got home, she just needed to be patient and continue hiding just how turned on she was.

The image Emily had sent her, nothing but a torment from the second her eyes fell onto the screen.

Given the opportunity to get her hands on Emily, Paige couldn't hold back.

Paige stood, moving swiftly hoping not to distract the group too much from their various conversations. Trying her hardest to not draw too much attention to herself.

"Where are you going?" Caleb inquired.

"Oh I just need the restroom... too." Paige forced out an air of cool fighting with every will in her body to prevent the red from rolling up her neck giving her away. He eyed her suspiciously, with a smirk he shook his head and start chatting with Ezra once again.

...

Paige, as soon as she entered the bathroom, threw open all the free stalls waiting impatiently to come across the one locked stall she knew Emily would be behind.

"Em, open up." Her voice rushed, desperate.

"Took you long enough..." Emily mused, but her smart remark falling on deaf ears as within seconds Paige's mouth was on hers. A ravenous moan echoing between their hungry bodies. Their tongues meeting, adding fuel to the fire, Paige's hands roaming the length of her girlfriend's body. A symphony of breathless gasps and pleasured moans bouncing around the stall. They were trying to be as quiet as possible but it was harder than either thought.

"God, you're incredible" Paige's voice rasped as she began attacking her girlfriend's neck, Emily's head rolled backwards hitting it against the wall.

"Ow..." Emily momentarily whined, laughing once she felt Paige giggle against her neck. The small bathroom stall didn't really offer much room to manoeuvre, but their insatiable desire to connect physically was enough to force them to ignore the minor bangs and bruises they endured as a result. It didn't take them long to become completely enraptured, enthralled and overwhelmed by a heated hunger once more, re-engaging a sense of fervour, lust and neediness.

Emily's fingers had already made light work of Paige's shirt pushing it back onto the girl's strong shoulders, breathless as she caught a glance at her girlfriend's toned abs, the tattoo, her dazzling pale skin a desiring contrast against her plain black bra. Paige determined to move quicker, knowing they had limited time pulled at the zipper on the back of Emily's dress, her efforts failing miserably, given the cramped space of the toilet stall, her frustration making the simple action seem near impossible. "Fuckin' dress" Paige mumbled her voice a rasp with irritation, ravenously teased by her inability to gain access to more of Emily's silk like skin. The fact she knew exactly what Emily was wearing under it only taunting her further, a devilish tease. "Y-you need to help me." Paige all but begged, ghosting a breathy kiss to her girlfriend's lips. If they weren't in such a public place, Paige would have unapologetically ripped the fabric from Emily's body.

"Okay so maybe a toilet stall is not the best place to have sex." Emily laughed, her eye's meeting Paige's, both sets darkened with lust, yet warmed with love.

"You don't say." Paige chuckled with a sigh, resting her head onto Emily's shoulder for a moment. "Doesn't mean we have to stop. Wait, I think I can get it from this angle. Don't move" She reached around Emily once more, they couldn't have appeared less sexy in that moment if they tried.

"Wow, I think we've hit a new low, Pay." Emily kissed Paige's neck as she continued pulling at the dress reaching around Emily's shoulders.

"Shhh... wait, there's still hope." Paige turned kissing Emily's lips, before getting back to work. "Got it!"

Success.

Her eyes going wide, all the silliness of just moments ago dripping away when she caught sight of the black sheer piece of lingerie, covering Emily's bust. Licking her lips, a moan drawled from the back of her throatas her mouth fell to Emily's neck once more, Emily having to steady herself a result of her knees going weak once she saw the raw look of fire burning in Paige's eyes. She grabbed onto the cistern, a surprised yelp echoing through the empty bathroom when her exposed back fell against the cold porcelain.

Emily's free hand began raking across the subtle muscular ridges on Paige's stomach, asking them to tense further, which they always did under her touch, almost like magic. Paige's hand caressing Emily's breasts, as her mouth moved lower to nip at the girl's now exposed collar bone. Another favourite spot of hers.

A loud cough rang out, causing them both to freeze. They breathing still ragged, faces flushed and nerves bouncing with excitement. "Excuse me, we don't recommend guests use the same stall." A stern voice echoed through-out the bathroom. Mortification settled in, as flushed faces now turned red for a completely different reason.

"I...I...We're, sorry." Paige stuttered, Emily eyeing her amused. "She... umm... uhh, she needed help with her dress." Emily bit down on her lip trying to stifle a laugh, shaking her head at the ridiculousness of the entire situation.

"The rules still stand." The voice chastised once more, before they heard the person exit the bathroom.

"She uhh... she umm... she needed help with her dress, huh?" Emily mocked playfully.

"What? What was I supposed to say. Umm, I'm sorry ma'am can you wait my girlfriend's wearing incredible lingerie, I just couldn't help myself. Give us five more minutes and we'll be good to go."

"You're such a dork." They both laughed this time, probably loud enough that the entirety of the restaurant could hear them. "I love you." Emily uttered on a whim, truly amazed by the girl stood before her.

"You're killin' me, Fields." Paige eyed Emily's body once more, licking her lips shaking her head with a frustrated sigh. "There is no way I can sit out there with our friends, not when I'm this turned on. All I can think about is you. All I want to do is touch you, and feel you..." She trailed on, her hand finding Emily's entwining their fingers for a moment, Emily smiled in return, raising their entangled hands as she placed a gentle kiss to the tips of Paige's fingers.

"Fine, how about we go back to the beach house for dessert then?" She teased with a wink after a beat, brushing out Paige's hair with her fingertips, before closing up the button on Paige's shirt. "Oh come on, P. You look like a little lost puppy." Emily laughed, seeing the frustrated look register on Paige's features as she watched Emily slowly button back up her shirt, before zipping up her own dress.

"You're driving me crazy, Em..." Paige sighed, her cheeks still flushed red and she look visibly on-edge with the pent-up tension coiling in the pit of her stomach. Emily smirked kissing the brunette once more, teasingly licking at the girl's lips, her hands and fingers playfully dancing along the fabric of Paige's shirt, the breathless gasp signalling to Emily she was doing all the right things. She was really enjoying this, seeing the lust lingering on Paige's every nerve, was only causing her own nerves to coil in tension and tingle on end.

"Ready to go." She pulled away with a smug grin, Paige looked on dazed and frazzled. Emily was incredibly playful tonight and it was unbearably torturous for her girlfriend to endure. Paige deemed speechless took a firm hold of her hand and followed behind her girlfriend.

"Another spicy fly, huh?" Hanna commented when they walked back into view, the pair now red-faced under the scrutiny of their friend's gaze. Paige even more so as the group laughed. She quickly fumbled around in her wallet, throwing sixty bucks on the table it should be enough to cover her and Emily's meals, leaving an incredibly generous tip too.

"Let's go." Paige spoke determined, her voice rushed and flustered.

"Heading home for dessert? Nice!" Caleb sounded like a thirteen year old boy, earning a swift smack across the shoulder from Hanna.

Paige grabbed Emily's hand pulling her behind her, wanting to get home as quick as possible.

"Jeez Em, what did you do to the poor girl." Spencer remarked, Emily winking back at her friends smugly, Emily was never usually this confidant or so open about sex in front of her friend, but seeing the look in Paige's eyes and the way she so desperately needed her only seemed to spur on her on. A chant of wolf-whistles from the group followed causing them both to exit in a flutter of bashful laughter.


"Em, babe you nearly endured a concussion in the bathroom stall I don't think the back of my car will be any safer. We'll almost there." Paige chuckled, Emily's hand stoked along her thigh, as soon as they entered the car it was like they were hit with a complete role-reversal, Emily was the impatient one, now. Granted, as soon as Paige got into a car, and ever since the accident, she was nothing but focused while driving.

"I know..." Emily hummed, the images of a desire fuelled Paige, echoing in her mind, her eyes roaming over Paige's flat stomach, sitting in the car seat causing her shirt to tense around her body, Emily wanting nothing more than to touch and taste the flesh hidden beneath once more.

The moment Paige pulled into a parking space in front of the beach house, Emily lips were on hers, a pleasurable moan seeping from the confines of her throat. As she quickly made light work of the top few buttons on Paige's shirt, nipping lightly across her girlfriend's jawline before teasing the burning hot skin and pumping blood on Paige's pulse point. "Em... Em, with all due respect and as much as I want to take you right here, right now, car sex just doesn't really do it for me." Emily looked up her lips swollen and red, her eyes searching Paige's, both hands caressing the girl's cheeks pulling her forward for a lingering kiss.

"I know, babe. There's a bed inside screaming our name."

"I bet it won't be the only thing screaming names, tonight." Paige joked, Emily's jaw dropping with a shocked smile. Emily eventually moved from her position on Paige's lap, awkwardly climbing out of the car before reaching a hand forward for Paige to grab a hold, her offer unfortunately dismissed, Paige had different ideas, choosing to wrap her arms around Emily's waist embracing her close as she lifted her up, Emily legs quickly wrapping themselves around Paige's limber body, peppering the girl's face with adoring kisses. They hit the wall beside front door with some force, both whining in pain which eased once they engaged in a heated kiss once more. Emily's actions determined, fiery and intimate as she continued unbuttoning the rest of Paige's shirt, her nails raking over the surface of her toned abs, before kissing the length of her flat stomach, Paige's eyes rolling into the back of her head as Emily edged closer to her most sensitive spot, a surprised yelp sucked from her being when she felt Emily's cup her breasts before kneading them with lust, her ragged warm breath and the subtle hungry moans sensually tripping from the tip of Emily's lips, enough to force every hair on Paige's body, to stand on end.

Paige, thankfully this time making light work of the zipper in the back of Emily's dress having turned her girlfriend's body around, her focus momentarily shot down, her knees rendered weak when she felt Emily grind her ass into her front, a low animalistic grunt echoing from the depths of her throat. She began kissing and massaging at the girl's toned shoulders, still holding a softened muscular form from all her years as a swimmer. Leaving a line of slow languid kisses along the length of her girl's spine before requesting Emily to turn back to face her, her hands directing her hips back around. Her eye's darkened with a hunger, another glance at Emily's body covered in that sheer lace material, reaching forward she caressed Emily's boobs, feeling the girl's nipple harden under her touch, enough to send a sensitive roll of pleasure across the most intimate parts of her body. The burning heat of desire dancing on their fingertips, ghosting on the silkiest parts of their lips and slowly taunting their nerve endings just enough to challenge insanity, was becoming unbearable. Emily's fingers trickled to the button on her girlfriend's dress pants, with an inaudible pop they were opened. Emily could feel the heat, teasing the girl further as she teasingly stroked the length over the soft fabric of Paige's boxer briefs. Paige knee's faltering, with a breathy gasp as she went weak under Emily's touch.

"Emm, As much as I'm enjoying the teasing, I-I-I need more." Paige voice quivered on edge, she was on a completely different worldly plain, one controlled only by feeling and a need for release.

"Not here." Emily appeased her with a kiss, her finger's fumbling with her keys as she tried to get the front door open. It took a good minute for her to get passed the lock, the simple task proving more difficult with the feel of Paige's fingers, teeth and lips on her skin.

Stumbling in through the door, their world froze.

They thought they knew embarrassment, they didn't until they walked in on the babysitter asleep on the couch. Both were incredibly grateful the teenage girl was fast asleep and they didn't give her an eye-full, in their half-dressed state. "Shit... shit... shit." Emily whispered, bouncing between fixing up her dress and Paige's shirt. They would never have lived this moment down if their group of friends had seen, rushing as they tried to re-dress and smoothen down their hair to a reasonable level.

"Oh, sorry..." The girl jumped, her eyes tired not really able to comprehend the situation. "He fell asleep a few hours ago. I-I-I know I shouldn't have fallen asleep, it's just I have mid-term exams coming up." The girl rambled, she looked about seventeen, she was most likely in her senior year, Paige and Emily looked at each slightly bemused. The girl seemed so worried she had been caught asleep, she didn't seem to pick up on the fact that Emily was holding the top half of her dress up, and Paige's shirt was only half buttoned up.

"Hey, hey... it's okay, here take this. You drove here, right? Text, when you get home. Thanks. You did a great job." Emily rambled on, grabbing Paige's wallet from her pocket throwing fifty dollars at the kid.

"Umm thank you" She responded, finally picking up on the state Emily and Paige were in. "Ohhhh crap... yeah, bye" She blushed, waving awkwardly before running out the door.

"We're Idiots, we totally forgot about the babysitter." Emily let her head fall onto Paige's shoulder, trying to rid her mind of the embarrassing situation that just happened.

"You know this is turning out to be a pretty expensive night... and yet no one has got off yet." Paige sighed still uncomfortably frustrated.

"Let's see if we can change that, then" Emily whispered, a side smile growing on Paige's lips.

"I like the sound of that, Fields." This time when they kiss it was slow, passionate. Slowly building back up to the high they were so close to concluding on the door step.

"Paige... shhh."

"What, what now..." She huffed, eyeing Emily.

"Just shhh." Emily shushed her once more. Paige's features dropping when she heard the subtle noise appearing from upstairs now too.

"No no no no no no. Why? We were so close." She bit her lip, her eyes roaming Emily's body one last time, knowing what she wanted to happen was now most likely out of reach. "Em, I love you... but in this moment I kind of hate you for wearing that lingerie, and the fact I can do absolutely nothing about it."

"I know, I'm sorry." Emily whispered. "I'll make it up to you." She kissed Paige's lips once more.

"Emmy?" The little boy finally announced himself.

"You look after him... I have something else to look after. I'll be back in ten." She kissed Emily once more, their lips lingering just long enough, but not long enough that the young boy would catch them.

"Hey, Jakey. It's okay, I'm here. What's wrong?"

"I had anoda scary dream..." His eyes, tear stained, his words a mumble as he spoke with thumb in his mouth, his other hand clutching his little shark teddy.

"Come on and we'll go watch some TV and cuddle on the couch." The little boy tip-toed his way over the couch, hopping up beside Emily curling in under her arm. He jumped momentarily when he heard the door open. "It's okay buddy, it's just Paige." Emily soothed, playfully messing up his long hair.

"Paigey, you're home too."

"Yes I am little buddy, Em and I heard you were having some bad dreams, so we came to the rescue." Paige smiled, Emily blown away by her kindred and warm nature. Their night had been completely ruined in every way possible, and yet, she never felt more in love with the other girl.

"Jake? How about you cuddle with Paige while I go get ready for bed, I'll be super quick."

"How bout' it little man, Emily's the best cuddler in the world, but I can promise I'm a good second choice." Paige opened her arms exaggeratingly wide, the little boy bursting out into laughter as he fell head first into her hold. Emily shook her head, still amazed that Paige thought and maybe even still thinks that she'd never be good with kids. Her interactions with Jake alone would be enough to convince even the most sceptical, that she was a natural.

Emily returned after a beat, she was now dressed in shorts and one of Paige's old and oversized t-shirts, her glasses perched on the bridge of her nose. Paige was mindlessly watching the TV whilst little Jacob now slept peacefully under her protective gaze.

"You know, you look just as beautiful now as you did just moment ago." Paige spoke, her hand reaching for Emily's while her eyes remained fixed on the TV.

"You're incredible, Paige. Don't every think otherwise." She moved to sit back in beside Paige, Jacob still fast asleep between them.

"I guess tonight just wasn't meant to be." Paige chuckled, light-heartedly.

"You still got off in the end." Emily teased, her voice just above a whisper conscious of the sleeping boy between them.

"I know, but it nothing compared to when I'm with you."

"I know, P. I'm sorry..." Emily's voice dropped, her eyes apologetic.

"Hey, don't be sorry, Em. I wouldn't change a moment from tonight if I had the opportunity."

"No?" Emily's eyebrow quirked, intrigued.

"Of course not, we laughed probably the hardest we ever laughed in a very very long time, tonight. You nearly got concussed. I lost my mind over a zip. I'm pretty sure we got ourselves banned from that Italian restaurant. We made idiots of ourselves in front of all of our friends... and probably traumatised a babysitter. In the end to have our night crashed by this little man, and as frustrated as I was earlier, this moment couldn't seem more perfect. I was already completely and utterly head over heels for you, Emily Fields. I finally said that out loud last week. Tonight, although I didn't think it possible, I fell even harder. It's these little moments, moments filled with laughter, choosing to look at the bright side and just embracing any moment when it's you and me, whether it be one of our most intimate or something completely ridiculous. It's those moments that I cherish the most." Paige explained sincerely.

"I'm so in love with you, Paige. I can't even find the words to explain."

"You don't have to Em, I just know."

"I just know, too." Emily smiled, brushing Paige's hair aside when she felt the brunette rest her head onto her shoulder, she had to manoeuvre Jake but thankfully he barely stirred awake. After a few minutes Paige released a yawn.

"Tired, love?" Emily questioned.

"Yeah, all that teasing you did earlier really wore me out." She snuggled further into Emily, enraptured with the familiar scent of her loved one surrounding her, yawning once more she closed her eyes, falling into a warm, safe and contented sleep.
