A/N – to LA Woman who reviewed the story four times; I got each and every one and they made my day, or night, as it were and they have now appeared as reviews Anyway, there's some more "blankie-time" coming up now, hope you enjoy it… It's shorter than usual because I decided to split the chapter in two.

I wish I owned Skins…

Chapter 5 (part 2)

Naomi's POV

We were all staring at her, eyes as big as saucers, desperately trying to get our heads around her story. She had sounded so angry, not at the demons but at the girl and a soft smile had crossed her lips every time she spoke Freddie's name. It is one thing to be a compelling storyteller and it is quite another to relive a story while telling it. Effy had most definitely done the latter. As to which part of the story was true, I was unsure of but I was confident that at least some of it was. Not the parts about demons though, although I suppose we all have our demons to slay in one way or another. Effy had regained her enigmatic expression and was looking intently around at us. Katie was the first to snap out of her Effy Stonem-storytelling-trance and she got to her feet and quickly closed the distance between herself and Effy. "What?", Effy asked as Katie approached her. She simply shook her head and dragged Effy to her feet before pulling her into an embrace.

When I finally pulled myself together, I became acutely aware of the fact that Emily was sitting or rather lying in my lap. Her head was still resting on my shoulder and her breathing was oddly irregular. I peeked down at her without moving my head and saw tears streaming down her beautiful face. She must have understood, like Katie had seemed to, that the pain Effy had described was somehow real. I moved my hand up to Emily's cheek and wiped a single, perfect tear away. She responded with a melancholic smile and pulled the blanket up around herself as she nestled against me.

Katie still had Effy locked in a tight embrace despite Effy's attempts at being released. Cook eventually broke the tension by joining them in their embrace, telling them how his bleeding heart could only be mended by a loving threesome. We all laughed and Effy shot Cook a thankful look as he dragged Katie back to his chair.

"So", Effy said as she returned to her chair and lit a fag, "who's next?", she said while casually exhaling a cloud of grey smoke.

JJ cleared his throat, "well I'm not really sure this qualifies as a scary story but I'll give it a go, if you don't mind?"

"Good man, JJ!", Cook exclaimed and nodded encouragingly. I turned my head and looked expectantly at JJ before realizing that the earth had stopped turning. JJ's voice faded out as I felt Emily's fingers drifting slowly down my left arm. Her touch was soft and her fingers were still a little cold, resulting in her touch resonating on my warm skin. When she reached the inside of my wrist, she lingered, tracing soft patterns across the sensitive skin before allowing the same soft touch to work its way back up.

As her hand started to outline the curvature of my collarbone, she shifted position slightly and her mouth came dangerously close to my neck. As I felt her warm breath against my skin and her lips on occasion brushing teasingly against my skin, I simply gave in to temptation. I tilted my head back, allowing her to caress the full length of my neckline with her breath, hands and lips. She ran her fingers across along the indentation at the bottom of my throat before starting back towards my left arm. Instead of copying her earlier caress down the length of my arm, which by the way sent shivers to my very core, she started running her fingers slowly down my the side of my top. I gasped as her fingertips lingered at the naked skin on my hip just above the rim of my shorts.

I desperately wanted to return her caress but was scared that the fire currently coursing through my veins would burn out if I moved. My heart was pounding in my chest and it was getting hard keeping my breathing under control. Her hand worked its way up the front of my stomach, the thrill of her touch never diminishing despite no longer being in direct contact with bare skin. It got even more difficult to breathe as she neared a particularly sensitive part of my chest area. Emily's fingertips moved along the rim of my top, tracing the frame of my bra hidden underneath it. I inhaled sharply at the sensation and felt my face warm as my heartbeat skyrocketed. Jesus! Thankfully, the bonfire had completely died out, emitting only a slight glow, leaving us under the cover of darkness. I glanced towards JJ and could hardly make out his silhouette and was completely unable to make out either Effy or Cook and Katie. The only reason I knew they were still sitting across from us was the giggles Katie let out every now and then.

Feeling confident that we were hidden from sight, I relaxed and shifted, effectively sliding down to a more reclined position in the chair. Emily immediately responded, turning towards me, essentially pressing her body against mine. Her hand was still positioned on the bare skin of my chest as she leaned in and gently grazed her lips along my neckline, starting at my ear and taking her time as she moved downward. Her left hand had been pressed against me while she was sitting in my lap but as she was now practically lying on top of me, it was free to roam my body. Reaching the base of my neck, Emily placed a warm, slightly harder kiss on my pulse point and swiftly moved her left hand to my waist, further pressing against my body in the process. I bit down hard on my lower lip to keep from letting out a whimper as the energy generated from Emily's kiss shot through me, halting at my stomach and making it flutter in the process. I felt my cheeks flush and my breath hitch as the flutter spread further downward, culminating in a familiar and delicious sensation between my thighs. Emily continued attacking my neck and collarbone with kisses, each one increasing in intensity as she parted her lips ever so slightly. Her hand had slipped underneath my top at the small of my back and she was running soft fingers up and down my spine, effectively leaving me utterly breathless. As her lips reached the end of their journey, she grabbed the back of my neck with her free hand and placed a hard, openmouthed kiss at the base of my collarbone. Feeling her soft, warm tongue against my skin finally made me lose my composure and I reached for her.

Emily's POV

It was by far the single, most intimate thing I had ever experienced. Drunken shags, well any shag really, was nothing compared to what was currently unfolding. Naomi was dematerializing under my touch and it was both insanely exciting and incredibly arousing. Somehow making her gasp and feeling her tense up simply by brushing my fingers along her collarbone was more sensual than anything I had experienced in my life. I felt powerful and the more I sensed her respond to my touch, the bolder I got. I eagerly welcomed the chance to explore her body even if I really had no idea what I was doing. Not that I would consider myself sexually inexperienced but I had never had a boyfriend and never felt particularly motivated to explore the bodies of my previous sexual partners. Had I known it would be such an unbelievable rush, I might have felt otherwise inclined. My hand was leaving a trail of delicious goose bumps along her back and I couldn't help but smile as her breathing faltered slightly. I must be doing something right… Subconsciously, my body responded to the intense sensation as my hips started to grind into her as I placed eager kisses on her neck. I grabbed hold of her as I reached my destination at the indentation at the bottom of her throat before allowing myself to finally taste her.

Naomi suddenly gasped and I felt her hands grab my hips and pull me up towards her. I was almost straddling her in the chair and her hands moved to the back of my thighs as I towered above her, our faces mere inches from touching. We had been this close before, on the beach last night but we had been off our faces and alcohol can play terrible tricks on the mind. Tonight however, despite having a lot to drink, neither of us were drunk. Everything that was happening was happening because we both wanted it to and every response her body had to my touch wasn't enhanced due to intoxication. She had started it by caressing my back during Cook's story and letting me sit in her lap but now I was determined to finish it. Never in my life had I wanted anything as badly as I wanted to feel Naomi's lips against mine.

Her eyes seemed to seize every single beam of light emanating from the moon, making them clearly visible against the darkness. They were darker than ever before, pupils completely dilated and mirroring my desires as her hands gripped at my thighs. I wanted nothing more than to kiss her and the immense tension between us was screaming loudly for a release. Still, as I lay there, on top of her, inches from her perfect lips, I was unable to move. Whether I was scared of being rejected or dumbstruck from being moments away from turning fantasy into reality, I will never know. Either way, I felt my confidence start seep away and Naomi must have sensed it. Without breaking eye contact, she placed a hand gently on my cheek, lifted her head from the chair and softly pressed her lips against mine. My eyes flew shut at the contact and the air vanished from my chest making me lightheaded and electricity surged through me, making every strand of hair on my body rise. Her lips were warm and soft and lingered for a few seconds before pulling away. When I opened my eyes, she was regarding me hesitantly with a surprised, slightly shocked look on her face. Before I had the chance to stop and think, I crashed our lips together with as much force as I could muster without actually bruising them.

"What the FUCK are you doing to my sister, you fucking pervert!"

Katie Fucking Fitch!
