It felt oddly familiar going back to Fletch's house as she had never been there before
There was mess and pictures on the fridge but it felt safe and warm. The Christmas tree was at a crazy angle but had obviously been decorated by the whole family. After everyone had had hot chocolate , the little ones put out a mince pie, glass of sherry and carrot for Santa and Rudolph.
"Mummy, Fletch helped me write a letter to Santa to let him know I was here this year"said Emma
"That was a good idea baby, now you know you have to go to bed to sleep quickly on Christmas Eve in case Santa comes to our house first"
"I will Mummy" and with that she went to brush her teeth and went straight to bed in the room she was sharing with Ella. The others had followed in dribs and drabs until it was just Jac and Fletch cuddling on the sofa
Jac yawned "I'm shattered"
"I'm not surprised"
"Not to sound sleazy but I assume I'm in with you tonight Fletch?"
"Only if you want sweetheart, I can go on the sofa. No pressure either way"
"I want to be with you" she kissed him "I'm ridiculously nervous though" she giggled
"Don't worry I'm not going to ravish you until you're ready and feel recovered fully. It's all well and good being able to walk but the things I want to do to you. The things I've fantasised about doing to you ...."
"I'm all tingly now Fletcher" she said as he stroked her arm
"Mmm I know what you mean but for now I just want to take care of you"
"I love you" she said
"Check you out Naylor" he teased
"It's customary to return the sentiment I think Fletcher"
He chuckled hugging her tightly "I love you too Jac" her whispered against her neck
