We are stretched out on the picnic rug; I feed Hannah the last strawberry and then kiss her.

'Hmmm, that was a perfect evening Hannah, I'm totally relaxed after work and could lie here all night.' I say.

'I couldn't agree more, even with all the problems with my mom I still feel really good at the moment. I can't thank you and your mom enough for everything. Being able to relax and draw today and then coming here to picnic has been perfect.'

'Good, what time do you want taking to the hotel tomorrow. You can either come into work with me first thing, then maybe shop for a bit and get the bus there or you can stay here all day and I can take you in the evening. I'm flying to Portland tomorrow in Christian's helicopter for a meeting. I think we're leaving mid-morning.'

'I'll come with you first thing then, it will be good to wander round the shops. Can I come and see your office first?'

'Sure baby, though there's not much to see at the moment, maybe you could paint from there the view is spectacular.'

'That would be good.' She then moves to kiss me, though I pull away.

'Will you stay in my room tonight?' I ask her. 'You won't be here for the next two evenings. I'll miss you.'

'Sure' She says and kisses me again, more passionate this time. One hand in her hair and the other on her breast I play with her nipple and she groans. She starts to undo my zip but I pull away, I take her hand and we move together inside the summerhouse. We're soon back to where we were before the interruption, I tease one nipple with my tongue whilst pulling the other one, Hannah writhes beneath me. My hand moves down inside her panties and she is so ready. Pushing another finger inside and the heel of my hand against her clit I increase the teasing and the pressure. I kiss her ear now, whispering 'Come for me baby' and she climaxes. I lie next to her as her breathing returns to normal, stroking her hair, she is so beautiful.

'What are you doing to me Matt.' she whispers. 'I love you so much and can't imagine my life without you.'

'I feel the same baby.' I say and then kiss her. She rolls on top of me, and moving my t-shirt up, kisses my chest before moving down and taking me in her mouth. The feeling is so good, the sensation is building. 'Hannah, please stop.' I whisper.

'What's the matter?' she says as she stops and sits up looking at me.

'I'm scared for what I'm feeling right now, it's just so intense.' I say, pulling her up so that she's lying on top of me. 'Let me make love to you.' She kisses me passionately and then finding the foil packet in my pocket rips it open and rolls the condom onto my erection. I am so ready that I almost come but I roll over so that Hannah is beneath me and then I am inside her, slowly we move together as one. Kissing each other, we then pick up the pace. I am lost in her, she comes and then I follow, totally spent.

'Are you OK Matt?'

'Yes, I love you so much baby that if anything were to happen between us I don't know how I'd cope. Should I feel like this after such a short time?'

'I feel the same, it scares me as well the depth of feelings I have for you.' She says as she kisses me gently on the lips. We lie together for a while, totally content to be in each other's arms.

'Matt, earlier when I spoke to your mom we talked about contraception….' Hannah starts, I sit up suddenly.

'You spoke to mom about that?' I say, totally shocked.

'Well yes, she's helped us before and she is probably the best person to speak to about it.'

'But she's my mom.' I say, still in total shock.

'Hey, remember when we totally lost control you said she was the best person to help us.'

'I know, but then she was so angry with me. That hurt so much I don't want to make her angry again.'

'She's not angry now, she's given me the number and details of someone we could go and see to discuss everything with. I just wondered if you would come with me.'

'Of course I will, and mom was OK.'

'She was more than OK; I think she was pleased that I'd asked her for help.'

'OK baby, if you make an appointment for next week I'll take you. Come on let's tidy up and then we'll go back home.' I say. 'Hannah, did you ever pass your driving test?' I ask.

'Yes, why?'

'Why don't you ever drive then, haven't you got a car?'

'No, mom said I could borrow hers until I saved up for one.'

'Ok, that's another job for next week then, I'll take you to buy a car.'

'But Matt, I haven't saved up yet.'

'So, I'll buy you one.'

'No, you can't do that, it's too much.'

'Hey, I can afford it, Christian pays me too much and I haven't got anything else to spend the money on. Please let's not argue about it, I'd really like to do this for you.'

'I'm not sure; it's such a big thing.'

'Don't overthink it, I'll buy it for you and when you sell your first painting you can pay me back. Deal?'

'Deal.' She giggles and that makes me smile. We walk back home, hand in hand, happy with each other once again. When we get there Mia is already in the kitchen with a few of her friends.

'Hi Matt, hi Hannah. I've arranged the party for Saturday evening, have you bought Christian a present yet?' Mia asks. Her friends give Hannah a cool look and then bat their eyelashes at me trying to flirt. I ignore them.

'I thought it was a family dinner, and yes I ordered it this morning so it should be here in time.'

'Well I invited a few more people than just family, I met Kate's brother at lunchtime so invited him.'

'Christian will be mad with you.' I say.

'I know, but he's always mad.' She says and smiles.

'Rather you than me.' I reply cheekily, then grab Hannah's hand and lead her upstairs.

Locking the door behind us I pull Hannah towards me once more, I kiss her with passion forcing my tongue in her mouth. She responds, pulling my shirt off and then her hands are in my trousers once more. I pull her dress over her head and carry her to the bed. Reaching into the top drawer I pull out a foil packet.

'It's the last one.' I whisper 'Shall we use it now or in the morning?'

'Now, I'm desperate for you now'

'You are so insatiable.'

'Only for you.'

'Too right only for me, you are mine.' I say rolling on the condom before ramming into her.

'Matt.' she cries out. I stop and look at her; she looks back at me with wide eyes.

'Sorry baby, did I scare you?' I ask her gently.

'Slightly, you were just so rough.' I pull out of her and lie at her side stroking her hair.

'Baby, I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me. Let's sleep.' I say, pulling her close her back to my front.

Hannah is soon asleep but I am wide awake. I pull on some pyjama bottoms and go downstairs as I'm restless once again. Most of Mia's friends have gone home; she's sat chatting with Lily. As I move to the fridge to get the milk carton Lily watches my every move. She has no shame, staring open mouthed, and I thought it was Christian that she liked. I drink straight from the carton, hoping to disgust her with my habits but she still stares.

'Matthew Grey, you are so disgusting.' Mia admonishes me.

'Really Mia and you're not?' I reply as I put the carton back. Mia is always the one I argue with.

'Don't put it back, mom will be cross if she finds out.'

'Are you going to tell on me?' I ask like we're young kids again.

'Maybe, just to get you into trouble, you're such a goody goody and can do no wrong in her eyes, maybe mom needs to know her darling little boy isn't so perfect.'

I freeze and stare at her. Mia knows that she's upset me.

'Please don't tell Mia, she will be angry with me.' I whisper.

'What will you do for me not to tell?' she asks, my sister is good at bribery.

'Anything' I reply quietly, looking at her with fear in my eyes. I am so scared of mom being angry with me again. She smiles at me knowing that she's won the argument. Mom and dad arrive home and walk in on us in the kitchen.

'What's going on?' mom asks.

'We're just talking about Christian's birthday.' Mia replies smiling at mom. I don't say anything; I put my head down and look at my feet. Mia continues 'I've invited a few extra people mom; I thought we could do a buffet where people help themselves.'

'That's sounds good' mom says 'Is Christian OK with that?'

'Sure' Mia replies and I look at her warily, wondering if she is going to tell on me. She gives me a huge grin; I know I'll have to wait until she's thought of something to hold me to. I go to mom and hug her and then leave the kitchen.

Going to the family room I sit at the piano and start to play. It's mournful and sad but that's how I'm feeling right now. I don't know how long I've been playing, I've lost track of time. Mom appears beside me.

'What's worrying you darling boy?' she says as she sits next to me on the piano stool. I look at her with big sad eyes.

'Matt it's 3am; you've been playing something sad constantly for the last few hours. Something has upset you hasn't it?' I nod.

'Do you want to talk about it?' I shrug. Mom envelopes me in a hug.

'Please talk to me darling; I can't help if I don't know what it is.' I look at her warily.

'Am I going to be angry?' she asks and I nod, eyes wide.

'Try me, I might surprise you.' She says gently.

I take a deep breath 'Mom, Mia was annoying me and her stupid friend wouldn't stop staring at me so I drank straight from the milk carton in front of them and put it back in the fridge. I'm sorry mom; Mia said you would be angry when you found out.'

Mom kisses the top of my head and laughs. 'This is what you've been worrying about; you do get yourself worked up over the smallest of things. I'm not angry.'

'Really? And Hannah said she spoke to you about contraception, I thought you might be angry about that as well.'

'No, what the pair of you are doing is natural but it's best to take precautions and Hannah is being sensible now. I'm glad she came to me to ask for help. Anything else troubling you?'

'No mom, that's it.' I say giving her a shy smile before hugging her.

'In that case, bed, go and get some sleep.'

'Thanks mom, I love you. Night.' I give her a kiss and then we climb the stairs together.
