R & R
After the 'plane touched down at Brize Norton, Charles and Molly had said their goodbyes to the lads and got into the waiting car organised by Major Beck. 'Where to Sir' asked the driver. 'The Old Swan and Minster Mill' replied Charles.
Charles took Molly's hand and kissed it. They gazed into each other's eyes and both reached to touch the others cheek and stroke it gently. The sexual tension was electric and the journey seemed to take forever although it was only twenty minutes. 'Oh this is beautiful' gasped Molly as they drew up outside. He smiled, put his arm round her shoulder and gave her a hug. 'Nothing is as beautiful as you' he kissed her forehead. Her legs were like jelly as she climbed out of the car. She had missed him so so much. They walked into the hotel followed by the driver with their luggage. Charles walked her over to a seat and said he would check them in. A few minutes later their bags were put onto a trolley to be taken to their room and Charles and Molly took the lift. They walked along the corridor hand in hand and stopped outside room 450. Charles scanned the key card into the lock and held the door open for Molly. 'Bit betta 'ran a Travel Lodge' she laughed as she walked into the Suite. She wandered round the lounge with its two settees, huge inset TV, and headed towards the bedroom. She gasped. The large room had floor to ceiling windows and a beautiful huge four poster bed. 'Like it Ms Dawes?' 'Ain't bad Captain James' she replied giggling.
There was a knock on the door. Their luggage was brought in. Charles tipped the porter and closed the door behind him. 'Just gonna take a quick shower' Molly called out. 'Ok , I can wait' he smirked. Another knock on the door and a waiter came in with a bottle of champagne on ice, two glasses and a single red rose. He placed them on the table and left the room. Charles swiftly took the tray into the bedroom and placed them on the end of bed chaise. He then took the rose and placed it across the two pillows and sat in the chair opposite the four poster. The bathroom door opened and Molly came out wrapped in a huge white fluffy bathrobe. He could smell her freshness and loved her damp hair curling round her shoulders. She smiled a heart melting smile at him. God how he had missed her. They stared at each other unable to move, drinking in the moment.
'Miss me Boss' she asked with a cheeky grin. 'What d'you think' he grinned back. 'Mmm, not sure'she said wickedly. It was all he could do not to dive across the room. 'Give me five minutes and we'll see who missed who the most Dawsey' he touched her hair as he went into the bathroom. Molly spotted the rose across the two pillows and the iced champagne bucket at the bottom of the bed. Am I in heaven, she thought. The bathroom door opened behind her and Charles came out in a dark navy bathrobe, his brown curly hair dripping. She walked forward and reached up rubbing his wet hair with the sleeve of her bathrobe. He caught her arm and kissed the inside of her palm. 'You smell good Dawsey' 'So do you' she said nuzzling into his neck.
He folded both arms round her and held her tight, whispering into her ear. 'I can't believe how much I've missed you. Three months seemed like three years and when I got the phone call from Qaseem I thought the world had stopped. He held her away from him and the anguished look in his deep brown eyes made her heart race. 'I didn't imagine that anyone could make me feel the way you have Molly' he said stroking her cheeks with his thumbs. She reached up and covered his hands with hers. 'I asked you back in Bath how you could love me when you only knew me on tour, and you said it was chemistry'. I was so frightened you would change your mind 'cos I knew that I didn't want to be without you, ever, an' that bein' away for three months and wot 'appened in Afghan made me realise that I love you so much Charles James and want to be with you 100% always. The electricity of the moment was too much and Charles led her gently to the bed, pulled back the sheets and opened her bathrobe. It dropped to the ground and he slid his hand under her hair gazing into her eyes as she undid his bathrobe. Without taking his eyes from hers, he climbed into the bed, took the rose from the pillow, pulled her gently down beside him and gave her the rose. 'For you my darling Molly. You will never be without me, I promise' Molly took the rose and put it on the bedside table. 'And you will never be without me' she said and reached up, pulled him towards her and kissed him. He kissed her back gently running his tongue over her lips, she did the same to him and then he could bear it no more and kissed her hungrily and more deeply. 'This is how much I missed you Molly Dawes' he said, his hands caressing every part of her body and his kisses getting more intense with each touch. 'And this is how much I missed you Boss Man said Molly sliding down the bed and gently touching him. She began to caress him and he started to moan. He reached down and caressed her slowly but firmly. She arched her back. They both pulled back to look at each other and Charles entered her. Molly pulled him in deeper and deeper. They moaned with ecstasy and the emotion of past few days and their love for each other reached a crescendo. Molly felt herself sobbing as the moment subsided and Charles's eyes were moist as he he held her tightly. He stroked her hair, kissing her forehead and gently rocked her in his arms until they both fell asleep.
