Alex turned over and snuggled up against the warm, soft body next to her.
‘Morning,’ she whispered.
She luxuriated in the fact that Evie wasn’t in the next room so there would be no crying out for milk today. She was soothed by the gentle love-making of the night before and for the first time in weeks felt content.
Finding out about Dan had been a complete shock, but in some ways a relief. They had been playing happy families for so long. She was frustrated that she hadn’t been getting the respect she deserved as a partner or mother, and was glad it had all come to a head. She could now concentrate on making Evie’s life as happy as possible and fulfilling her potential as a stand-up comedienne, something she had always wanted to do.
‘Morning, gorgeous girl. How much time have we got before Evie is back?’
‘Hours and hours yet,’ Alex replied dreamily.
Alex melted into the slow and loving kiss from her partner’s soft mouth. She pulled away and put her finger against those lips as if to shush them, and moved slowly and deliberately down her partner’s body. Her tongue caressed every inch of perfect, sweet-smelling flesh. As she licked and teased an inner thigh, she became completely turned on by the groans of pleasure that ensued.
‘Good, so good,’ Sal murmured.
