I hugged her tighter and carried on making love to her, and she clung to me, moved with me, kissed me, just as she had when we'd made love before, but it was all starting to feel very different.
That passion seemed to have merged, so much better, it had been pretty bloody spectacular before but shit, this was amazing.
Yes, we were buzzing with the moment, buzzing about being so intimate with the person we felt closest to; she gazed up into my face with such meaning, such passion that right there and then, I would have danced across hot coals and broken glass barefoot to make her happy.
I didn't of course, we made love until we came, both together, and spent the next forty-five minutes kissing each other and just murmuring sweet nothings.
"I forgot the one thing about 'no condoms' Craig," she said, sliding her feet out from under the duvet, "the after-sex waddle!" she stood and did indeed waddle, knees together, out to the bathroom.
I got up, pulled on my boxers and followed her, I needed a pee, and I also felt in need of some restorative coffee, seeing as my bedside alarm told me it wasn't even nine o'clock. I picked up Callie's new nightdress, still vastly impressed with the purchase in general, but her body in it in particular.
"Well, that's a new trick I should remember," she said as she turned off the bathroom light.
"What?"
She walked across the landing to me, beautiful,
"I'm sure you've cleared me out!"
"Really?" I remembered that Anna had always been horny a day or two into her period but have never mentioned it speeding things up.
"I'm certainly not 'on' anymore that's for sure," she looked down at her groin, "never been fucked that close to a period!" She put a hand to the slight rise of her tummy, "Wow!"
"Glad to be of service," I said, "I was thinking of getting some De-Caf, want some?" I handed over her nightdress.
She pulled it over her head and down her fine body. She watched me watching her.
"You can't seriously be more turned on by me wearing this," she waved her hands down her torso, "over my fine naked body Craig?"
"Yeah," I said, "it's the reason I bought it." She kissed me.
"Tomorrow night, I'll have a shower before I go to bed, NO! Before I come to bed with you, wearing my new SEXY teddy!"
I smiled a rather rude smile letting her know that would be just fine as far as I was concerned. I took her hand and walked her across to the second bedroom across the hallway and opened the door, turning on the light.
This was the room that Di had designed and fitted out as a child's bedroom, her child's bedroom.
Like all her other rooms it was perfect, painted in a selection of light, bright colours and while the antique iron framed double bed was quite old, the mattress was brand new. The antique furniture was classic dark wood, and all matched the room and the décor perfectly, and the view across the garden from the large bay window was lovely. There were bookshelves, already holding Di's collection of the hardbacks and paperbacks she'd loved as a kid. Mine were in a box in the garage waiting for me to unpack them.
Callie looked at me,
"Craig?"
"This was the room my sister Diana would have put her child in," I shook my head to remove that sad thought, and Callie squeezed my hand as she looked up at me, "So Cal," I said, "how about we move lil' Emmie down into this room, we'll bring down all her stuff, there's tonnes of room for it."
"Oh Craig!" she stepped in, looking around in joy and some wonder, "That would be so lovely! Oh, look at this room!"
I stepped closer to her, and whispered in her ear,
"We move you down into that one," I pointed to the other spare, "But on the understanding that you sleep with me of course?"
She pushed up close to me, and wrapped her arms around my neck and we kissed,
"THAT would be amazing!" She opened her mouth and our tongues twirled together.
I reached down to cup her wonderful buttocks, and she purred, carrying out a small dance that turned my 'grab' into a massage.
I danced back to my room with her,
"And while we're talking about moving things, how about I put a small wet room with a shower, handbasin and a WC just there!" I pointed to the adjoining wall to the small walk-in wardrobe in the room next door.
She giggled,
"Just when I thought it couldn't get any better!"
We went downstairs, made coffee, and watched some Simpsons episodes, and rather than taking position at each end of the sofa as we had before, she was cuddled up to me. Perfect.
We slept together that night, holding each other and waking the next morning, a short time before my alarm was due to go off. We started to kiss, and a short time after we were back making love again; Wow it was good.
We got up, into the bathroom and showering together, not a first for either of us it turned out, but fun for all that. Dried off and dressed I headed down to the kitchen to start breakfast, while Callie had Emmie up and in the bathroom.
Breakfast was really good fun, with Emmie still hugging Bear, and just a bit annoyed at having to leave him behind while she went to school; she finally relented when I placed him on the sofa, and I promised to leave Disney Plus on for him.
I went to work, and was terribly happy all morning, even being noticed by the two Margaret's. I left slightly earlier, and was there to collect Emmie from school, her big beaming smile and shout of 'CRAAAAAAIG!' as she ran towards me and leapt up into my arms, and onto my heart. She put her arms around my neck and squeezed tight.
In the last few weeks, I'd gotten more involved with her care. After my babysitting Saturday, I'd offered to collect her from school as it was on my way home, and I had a certain amount of flexibility at work where Callie didn't.
She asked if I could do that on Thursdays and the very occasional Friday, seeing as she had to stay late, to work a duty in their afterhours clinic. I took her to school once with Callie and was introduced as 'Craig' and was duly recognised as a 'someone that would pick up Emma Sinclair'.
Bonnie's Mum chatted with Emmie and made a point of checking me out. I offered my hand to the Yummy Mummy across from me and was glad I was wearing my smart work suit especially for the moment.
"Craig Douglas," I said, "Callie's having some issues at her place and is staying with me while they're sorted."
"Charlotte!" she beamed, giving me a friendly once-over, "So Bonnie has told me, you're the one with Disney Plus!"
"Yes," I said, "It's nice to be recognised, and to be honest," I reached down for my charge's tiny hand, "I no longer have Disney Plus, my little mate Emma here does!"
"Emma!" said the smiling Bonnie's Mum with her hands on her fine hips, but Emmie and Bonnie were both all girlish giggles.
"She does kind of get away with it," I said.
"Yeah, I can see!" said Bonnie's Mum, "But every time she's come to stay with us, she's been such a Darling."
"Yes, I must confess I'll miss her when they go home."
"Awwww," said Bonnie's Mum, "Will they be far away?"
Sneaky; a nice way for Bonnie's Mum to find out where I lived. I named the district rather than the street name.
"That's way across town!" she said, "Nice! Isn't it a problem getting here for Emma morning and afternoon?"
"No," I said with a grin, " and this is on my way to work, but we've got to keep her life as normal as possible."
"Of course," said Bonnie's Mum, "Bonnie here is helping!"
"Yes," I said bending down to Emmie's best friend, "if it wasn't for your help and advice, I'd have nothing to watch between four o'clock and seven!"
I was to find out later that Charlotte had already discussed 'Craig' with Callie on several occasions!
"Come on then Princess," I said, "shall we go to the shops and buy something nice for Mummy's tea!"
"Yeah!" she said.
"You've got to help me cook it though Emmie," I said.
"Of course!" she said, as if such a thing was obvious.
As I walked away, I could see the smiles from a variety of women; some parents, a couple of staff members, all grinning at how Emmie had me wrapped around her little finger.
We stopped at Sainsburys and with Emmie high in the trolley seat, again pronouncing at anything I picked up.
Eventually, I settled on steaks for us and some nice-looking butcher's burgers for my tiny shopping advisor, as she reeeeeeally didn't want the perfect, lightly marbled beef I figured would need less than four minutes a side, and no more than a light coating of olive oil, and salt and pepper.
We got home, and Emmie ran up to her room and changed into her home clothes, running back down to rescue Bear from the sofa, in front of the TV I'd switched on just in time.
With the remote in hand, she was sat in front the TV and another Disney movie was playing.
Looking at my watch, I guessed roughly how long it would be until my gorgeous lover would step through the front door, sashaying along the hallway, that amazing arse of hers moving as if it was separate from the rest of her. I decided to send her a text.
"Hiya Callie, grab two bags of chips on your way home, to go with the tea I'm cooking you, text me when you're about to leave work."
