Lucy was more than a little nervous when she heard Mac's truck pull up outside of the Melissa's house that afternoon. The plan was that she'd pack some of her stuff and he'd come pick her up thus allowing him to meet Melissa and Nick at the same time. And as much as she loved him; oh yes that was another worrying development that had occurred to her recently. She was pretty much sure she 100% in love with him. Terrifyingly. But he wasn't the sort that was going to turn up in a suit with flowers for the lady of the house, ready to lay out his future intentions for their niece. Actually, she'd thought, if he did lay out the intentions he had for her the majority of the time they would need therapy to get the images out of their heads. She made her way downstairs and opened the door as he made his way up the path. She took herself by surprise with the sudden sharp breath that tickled the back of her throat. Either this was about to turn into the unlikely scenario that Mac had an identical twin brother who he'd sent on his behalf or Mac was looking...different. And by different she meant GOD DAMN! Well that's what her brain screamed anyway. Of course he was hot, she knew that, as did most of the female population of this town. Hands down he was the sexiest man she'd ever dated, but today, well he'd made an extra effort. He wore a simple fitted black t-shirt and light blue jeans. His hair was that stuck up on end, just got out of bed chic and if she didn't know him better she would have said that he'd shaved! It was possibly the finest example of manhood she'd ever layed her eyes on. And he was all hers. HA! As he reached her he put one arm around her waist, placed his hand on the small of her back and pulled her against him. They hadn't seen each other since yesterday morning so she could tell by the way he ate her up with his eyes that he was as riled up as she was right now. They didn't say anything at first, just kissed, possibly a little more passionately than was proper in public at that time of day but whatever, they'd done...much...worse.

"So you pack your shit up?" No this was definitely still her Mac she smiled to herself.

"Almost. But now you're here I know you won't mind helping me finish up." She said as she took him by the hand and pulled him into the house behind her. "Mel and Nick won't be long. When they get home she says she's gonna make us all dinner. Celebrate getting rid of my ass I think."

"So when we get home am I gonna get to celebrate your ass too?" She giggled, as she felt the warmth spread through from her fingertips to her toes at the words "when we get home." it sounded good. Once in the room he looked around spotting two suitcases next to the bed and one box she was just throwing her last bits into.

"Ain't too bad. For a girl I mean." she rolled her eyes and tapped him lightly on the upper arm as she passed him.

"You know. This is the first time I've had a guy in my room since I got here."

"Well I know I ain't never been here so that better be right."

"Could be fun don't you think? Show this bed little action before it's left all on it's lonesome." she watched him shift his weight from one foot to the other before he spoke.

"I dunno don't seen too safe doin' it here. Said yourself they gonna be home soon." Yeah you are definitely now a 100 carat pussy, he thought to himself. His girl was practically begging him to fuck her here he was, worried that if they did get caught, her family would only ever think bad of him to say the least. Even he had to admit that walking in on him boning their niece was never not the way to create a good lasting impression. But then she got up of the bed and sidled over to him. She pressed her hips into his and her breasts against his chest. "And who are you trying to convince of that the most? You, me or him?" With that she reached between his legs and filled her hand with him through his jeans. Suddenly, and even though he knew his reasons for not doing this right now still held up, they seemed to do it a little less than they had about 30 seconds ago.

Mac put both hands to her hips and walked her backwards towards her bedroom door. Pushing her against it, his tongue wasted no time invading her mouth as a his hands worked it's way up her skirt. Lucy made that sexy little whimper sound he loved as he pulled at her panties, trying his best to slip them down her legs with one hand. He'd managed to get them to her knees when his earlier prophecy picked that moment to realise itself. The sound of the front door opening, followed by voices brought an immediate halt to proceedings. Sighing heavily, Mac gently dragged her panties back up her thighs and into place, giving her butt little slap as he moved away from her to try to put himself back into some semblance of shape. After she straightened out her skirt she stepped to him. Kissing him quickly on the lips "Hold that thought." she smiled. And when he was sure he could walk in a way that wouldn't get him thrown out of the house, they headed downstairs.

It was times like when Lucy knew just how lucky she was to have Melissa and Nick in her life. They were just GOOD with people. After a few initial seconds of awkwardness after she had introduced them to Mac, they just made it vanish and Lucy saw him physically relax when Nick took him into the front room with a beer. As did she. Truth be told, that part had been scarring her more than anything else since they'd decided on moving in together. They managed to keep him that way the whole time they ate dinner too. Didn't hurt that Melissa slipped him a fresh beer just before she saw him finish that last one. She told Lucy that she couldn't imagine he'd done this type of thing before so she thought it best to break him in gently. And after looking at the scene unfolding in front of her, she had to agree. As the night went on they realised that even though they were all pretty much in the same state, they may have broken Mac in a little more than originally planned, so they decided it may be best they stay the night there and finish the move tomorrow. Well Lucy did for the both of them really, she knew she didn't really need to ask Mac, the condition he was in right now he would have agreed to letting her dye all the hair he had on his body pink. All that taken into account, it was Mel that decided that a good way to round off the evening would be with the bottle of Vodka they had in the fridge, and Lucy followed her into the kitchen to help her carry the glasses. As she reached them out of of then cupboard above her head, Lucy turned to see Mel grinning at her.

"What?"

"Someone's in luuuuuurrrrve."

"Oh shut up." she giggled.

"Please, I've seen the looks you've been giving him all night. And him to you for that matter. The eyes say it all!"

"It's the alcohol." she kidded.

"Yeah right whatever." she said as she reached the vodka from the fridge.

"And anyway, you can't talk, think I haven't seen the you checking out his arms all night? Not that I blame you." Lucy said as she picked up the glasses.

"Now you know that I love my husband very much. But damn do they feel as good as they look?"

"In short, yes. And here is where this conversation will end." Lucy smiled as she walked back towards the dining room.

"Yeah we'll see after a little of this." Melissa said as she followed her.

It was about 2am when Lucy threw the covers over Mac. He lay there starring up at her as she started to unzip and unbutton her skirt. Too tired to care, she was just gonna jump into bed in the shirt she was wearing. He managed to slip one hand under his head, tilting it up so he could get a better look.

"That's it baby, you know I love it when you strip for me. Tell me what I did to deserve it and I'll do it again." she smiled as she climbed under the covers. Pushing herself up onto her elbows, she leaned in and kissed him firmly on the lips. His hands went directly to her ass where he squeezed "Looks like the bed's gonna see some action after all huh?" he mumbled. As she kept looking down at him, and watched as his blue eyes gently fluttered shut and his breathing slowed as he slipped into vodka induced unconsciousness.

"Sure it honey." she smiled again and placed a kiss on his forehead before snuggling into him, his warmth drawing her quickly into sleep.

"For fuck sake Mike chill! What the hell is wrong with you!" Josh said as he bent down to help up the frightened girl his friend had just pushed violently to the floor.

"What's wrong! Did you fucking just hear that shit or what! She moving in with him! My Lucy is moving in with that fucking backward hick!"

"Ok you're pissed but there's no reason to beat up on a chick!" Mike could hear him, but he wasn't listening. The his heart was thumping in his ears and his sight was blurry, non of it down to being in the bar all night. He's spotted the now weeping girl alone in the diner earlier that day and recognised her as one of Mac 'friends'. He was charm personified when he asked her out. If she knew anything, he didn't, he was sure it wasn't gonna cost him too many shots to get what he wanted. And fuck did she know. He bided his time and waited until she was truly oiled to bring Mac and Lucy into the conversation. That's when she'd told them how her and her friends were sure Lucy must be a witch or something. Had to be to suddenly turn up out of nowhere and get Mac to commit to one girl. He had stopped listening to her long before the bar had closed. Once they were outside and he'd got what he needed, she wasn't his problem any more. When she'd wrapped her arms around his waist, fully intending to carry the evening on, Mike snapped and grabbed her roughly at the tops of her arms "What's wrong with you! Get the fuck off me!" he'd spit before shoving her away from him so hard she fell backwards to the floor.

He began to wonder up the street, no real idea where he was going. He felt sick. She'd picked Mac over HIM!. She didn't give a shit about him, not in the way he did about her anyway, and now it was official. No not yet, this shit wasn't over. What the fuck, she'd never known what was good for her anyway, but he did, he had since they had been kids and deep down, he knew she knew it. Anyway that hadn't been the only bit of information that little bitch had dropped to him anyway and he was sure that if he played it right now, he could have her away from Mac before she'd even unpacked.
