Holding hands, holding hearts

Later

Later Jac was reading to Emma and Ella. Settling the girls down after putting out a mince pie and sherry for Santa and a carrot for Rudolph was proving very difficult such was the level of excitement
Evie found her dad sitting on his bed seemingly deep in thought
"I'm off to bed now dad"
"Ok night darling"
"What's that?"
She sat next to him on the bed
"It's my grandma's engagement ring"
Evie gasped and put her hand to her mouth
"Oh my god are you going to ask Jac to marry you?"
"I don't know"
"What? How don't you know?"
"Too soon, scare her off , get laughed out of the room"
"But you want to marry her?"
He looked at his eldest daughter "Yeah I think I do. Just don't want to ruin everything"
"Why don't you wait a few months, give her time to be as sure as you"
He put his arm round her shoulder - "when did my little girl get so wise?"
He kissed the top of her head.
"Off you go now or Santa won't come" she giggled and left him with his thoughts. He put the ring back in his bedside table drawer. Maybe he should wait.
After doing last minute preparations for tomorrow and placing piles of presents out Jac and Fletch crawled into bed exhausted.
"Well this doesn't feel weird at all" Jac joked. If truth be told they were both nervous
"I know" he paused "you know we're going to get woken up early tomorrow right?"
"Mmm I predict 4.30?"
He chuckled "about that yeah. How tired are you now?" He had started to trace a pattern up and down her arm, up to her neck and over her collarbone
"I am a mother and a doctor. I can survive on very little sleep. Mmm that's nice"
He had replaced his fingers on her neck with his lips - he was gently nuzzling eliciting soft moans from Jac
"That's a very good skill to possess Ms Naylor"
They began to kiss,softly at first, exploring each part of one another's lips before deepening the kiss and letting their tongues tangle with each other
Fletch was by now caressing her breasts through the thin pyjama vest top she was wearing, for her part Jac was running her hands over his bare back and chest, inching nearer and nearer to the waistband on his pyjama bottoms.
Oh my god Jac Naylor in my bed doing that. Never even in his wildest dreams
He stifled a groan as she began to feel him through his pyjamas
"Jac.....oh my god" He mirrored her actions and brought his hand between her legs and rubbed her gently through her shorts
They teased each other like this for what seemed like hours
"Fletch?"
"Mmhum" he said teasing her nipple with his mouth
"We've got too many clothes on" she moaned quietly. Mindful of 5 pairs of ears in close proximity
"Are you absolutely sure you want to do this, I don't want to hurt you. It's fine if you still need time to recover "
"Fletch" she pulled his mouth to hers roughly "Shut up and take your clothes off"
Fletch smirked at her taking charge. Maybe for once he was going to enjoy being bossed around by Jac Naylor
