Caroline rolled over to see a sleeping naked Kate, it was dark outside she sat up looking at the time. She smiled realizing how long they must have laid together at peace after the sex hazed hours had finally led them to slumber.

Caroline tentively placed a kiss to Kates abdomen and slowly placed one upon her lips, before slowly un tucking the covers and began stumbling around looking for her clothes. She had just located the last item when she leant down to pick up her bra, Kate's arm dangled from the bed? Caroline watched the sleeping woman smile as she leant to picking it up, shocked as Kate's fingertips grasped her wrist. Caroline jumped "I thought you were asleep" she stammered "that's apparent as your about to do a moonlight flit" her voice slow and uncertain. "I didn't know if I should stay, you have work to do! I would have rung you". Kate sat up "Caroline don't do this to me, I'd have woken up to an empty bed" she looked down at the covers.

Caroline moved forwards "sorry I didn't mean to upset you Kate" she almost whispered. "No it's ok, it's complicated" their eyes met, Kate felt Caroline's gaze intrude her mind and soul "not if you don't want it to be sweetheart", "sweetheart?" Kate questioned.

"yes sweatheart, Im falling for you" Caroline smiled as she lowered her body towards Kate planting kisses on her hand. "that's lucky because I've already fallen for you Caroline , months ago" she smirked.

"so it's not complicated" Caroline smiled leaning her head to one side fluttering her eye lashes, "honestly I was going to leave you to your sleep I would have come back for you". "Problem solved then!" Kate spoke confidently as Caroline looked at her quizzically. "Just don't leave" Kate laughed, pulling Caroline on top of her again.

"ok" she gasped as Kate let her hands trail down over her naked torso letting her fingers gently caress her skin, she groaned as Kate's hands explored the contures of her body once more. she felt Kate's hands skim her thighs as her lips moved to Carolines red neck from an earlier love making. "Ok,ok I'll stay now Kate stop messing me about, before I sack you and just take me now!."

kate responded with her fingers trailing to meet the hot centre dipping into the wetness, flicking rubbing gently as she felt Caroline's body rock against her. She felt her breasts against her she could feel her own arousal rise as she watched Caroline wither above, her hands drove her to the very brink over and over again never sending her over the edge.

Caroline almost cried in anguish as Kate rolled her over snaking herself down Caroline's perfect body meeting her hand with her mouth and finally sending her to a climax of ecstasy.

Caroline lay panting her cheeks a flush her body shook as Kate's hands drew patters on her stomach. The butterflies still alive within as she closed her eyes saviouring the feeling.

"im not leaving...ever" Caroline chuckled "if you promise to do that daily" she smiled as Kate's lips met hers.

After another hour of Caroline returning the favors they finally pulled themselves from the tangled sheets.

Kate reached the kitchen first moving towards the coffee machine "coffee?" "Um yes please, aslong as that's not a metaphor for another work out." "I wish Caroline but I'm exhausted I need my energy then, yes we will be having more coffee as you call it" she winked turning the coffee machine on.

The weekend had passed and Caroline had barely left Kate's until Sunday afternoon a beautiful weekend of getting to know each other. Talking, marking, sharing stories and exquisite love making allowing it to end at the latest possible chance. Lawrence had rung needing picking up, She sat at her desk becoming sleepy before she knew she had fallen asleep on top of the files of paperwork.

she awoke dazed and confused she shook her head looking at the clock 9.30pm, blinking hoping it would ground her, she stood up walking towards the kitchen she switched the kettle on she saw the sensor light turn on outside, curious she walked to the back door unlocking it and peered outside.

To her horror Kate sat on the back door drenched, sobbing her heart out.

"Kate Christ, what happened?"

Kate sat shaking she was soaked she looked petrified. "Kate talk to me!" She uttered no words, Caroline slowly guided her inside locking the door behind her as they moved towards the sofa in the kitchen.

She pulled Kate close and felt her body tense then relax she hadn't a clue what was going on but this wasn't going to be good news!

"Micheal" she mouthed before burying her head into her hands her body convulsing at the word.

Caroline looked on in horror unsure what Kate was trying to explain, well she had an insight but pushed it to the back of her couldn't imagine it she wouldn't let herself.

"Michael?" Kate nodded " what did he do?" She asked gently pulling Kate closer. Kate looked up to Caroline staring into her, leaning forwards her lips meeting Caroline's her cheeks wet and warm from the tears. Caroline responded knowing it was comforting Kate to have intimacy, she slowly pulled away kissing Kate's face all over.

They sat in silence for a long time holding one another until finally Kate was able to speak...

"He came to my house, bringing marking I'd left in his pile. He said I was sexy,that I was a flirt...He watched me and you and, I must be giving it to anyone If I was sleeping with you instead of a real man" she looked at her hands which were scrambling with braclet on her wrist. "I said No, he ...he pushed me against the wall he put his hand between my.. " she gestured to her thigh Caroline trying to compose the anger inside her that was raging like a ball of explosives that just just been lit.

"Did he? You know".Kate shook her head "no I screamed I spooked him, but he wanted to he just touched me between my legs inside my was kissing my neck and told me hed show me how it was really done".she let the hot tears sear down her red blotchy face, flowing freely. "I thought he was going to..." She couldn't say the word as speech was lost.

Caroline pulled her in close "bastard, it's ok I'm here, I've got you". she held Kate for a while before she leaned over and picked up the phone "what are you?".

Kate looked frightened "No, you can't" she spoke breathless "you have to report this Kate." "No promise me Caroline, just me and you". Caroline was confused but saw the anguish and decided not to push her at this delicate time.

"you will stay here though?" Kate watched the pain and concern etched upon Caroline's face and nodded "if that ok?" She in turn nooded "shower?" "Please" Kate replied.

Kate took Caroline's hand as she lead her upstairs Lawerence appeared from his room, Caroline shook her head and smiled at him reassuring him everything was fine but now was not the time to ask questions, he nodded retreating to his room.

Caroline turned the water on and smiled at Kate "it will be ok, I promise you" she kissed her cheek resolute to teach Micheal bloody Dobson a lesson he'd remember.

Caroline assuming Kate was feeling vulnerable walked towards the door to give her some privacy " Don't leave me" she whispered almost in audibily. "Ok I'm here,it ok" she moved to sit on the bed.

"Caroline please" Kate stepped forward undoing the top few buttons of Caroline's Shirt "Kate this isn't right not now."

"yes now" their eyes met their passion for one another clear as Caroline looked into the sad dark pools staring at her. She took the rest of her clothes off and followed Kate towards the shower she held Kate around her waist pulling her close. "I'm here,I'm here".She kissed Kate's back turning her to face her, their was not lust but love and tenderness a trust that felt so strong, so un breakable.

Kate held her tight as the hot water cascaded over their bodies, she felt safe and warm protected in this cucoon with Caroline.

They stood their for a long while as Caroline helped her wash before they stepped out and in their towels lay on the bed lying together, Kate smiled. "I wish I'd met you sooner a whole lifetime ago".

She snuggled in close and let her eyes droop falling alsleep,Caroline lay their for a while before getting up putting her dressing gown on. she tip toed down stairs sitting with a large Vodka "Shit! I'm going to kill him, how dare he Jesus..poor Kate." She voiced a loud to her self sinking her head into her hands. What was she going to do to support Kate what the hell was she going to do tomorrow at work if Kate refused to make a complaint...he couldn't get away with this.
