In a teasing mood, Miranda decided to not change out of her Bill Blass pant suit. Instead, she took off her blazer and undid another button on her white top to show more cleavage. She smirked when Andy let out a pained groan and muttered 'evil' under breath.

"Come along, Andrea," Miranda taunted, her hips swaying more while walking towards the kitchen. "Dinner won't serve itself."

Andy let out another groan before deciding to return Miranda's tease with a little playfulness. She swiftly walked up behind Miranda and grabbed her by her waist. Miranda let out a surprised yelp then tried to squirm away from Andy when her fingers found Miranda's ticklish spots.

"Andrea!" Miranda uncharacteristically shrieked out.

The twins while walking towards the kitchen to help their Mom and Andy with setting the table for dinner, heard the unexpected shriek from their mom, quickly dashed towards the kitchen. At the entrance, they can see their Mom laughing and trying to break free of Andy's grasp. They had never seen their mom that carefree or playful with anyone, but them. Caroline and Cassidy shared a look before dashing over to join the two women in their tomfoolery.

The tomfoolery lasted for another five minutes before a loud rumble resonated in between the laughter causing all four to stop with their tickling. Miranda arched an eyebrow in question while looking around at the other three. Caroline and Cassidy shook their heads and shrugged their shoulders. Meanwhile, Andy's face blushing as red as a tomato.

"Sorry, I haven't really eaten anything all day," Andy stated sheepishly.

"Well then, girls set the table while Andrea and I plate the food."

"Yes, mom."

"Can we go over the pictures now?" Cassidy asked, while pushing her nearly empty dinner plate away from her.

The four of them have spent the last half hour eating Cara's wonderful boeuf bourguignon and discussing how their day was. The twins also used the time to get Andy all caught up on their lives for the past two weeks, even though they had talked to one another on the phone at least three times since their date to Coney Island.

"Have you finished your homework?" Miranda questioned her daughters.

Before the girls could even attempt to lie, Miranda raised her eyebrow up in warning.

"No…" They muttered.

"But we don't have much left to do," Caroline added.

"Then it won't take you long to finish it, hm?"

Twins pouted and nodded their heads sullenly.

"Help us put everything away, then you go finish your homework."

"Yes, mom."

The four of them got up from the kitchen table and began clearing the table. Caroline and Cassidy picked up their empty plates along with their mom's and Andy's, while Andy picked up the white Le Creuset cast iron dutch oven. Miranda, carrying the drinking glasses and remaining utensils, followed behind them into the kitchen. As Cassidy rinsed off the dishes and Caroline loaded them in the dishwasher, Miranda and Andy moved with ease around one another as they put away the leftovers.

During one of her returns from putting the leftover boeuf bourguignon in the fridge, Andy nearly collided with Miranda. In order to avoid the collision, Andy wrapped an arm around the older woman to pull her closer and twirled her away from the girls. Miranda let out a surprised gasp as the front of her body pressed against Andy's.

"Whoa! Nice save, Andy!" Caroline proclaimed.

Andy winked at Caroline and said,"If you think that's nice, watch this."

Andy put her hand on Miranda's waist, grabbed her hand, and assumed a waltz position.

"Follow my lead?"

Miranda nodded her head in affirmation. Andy grinned and started to lead Miranda in a waltz around the kitchen. As soon as they came to an opening between the kitchen table and island, Andy twirled Miranda away from her before gently pulling her back into her arms. Their little dance quickly moved from the kitchen towards the hallway leading towards the downstairs sitting room and foyer. Caroline and Cassidy follow closely behind, with Cassidy holding her cell phone out to record the moment. They watched in awe, as the couple danced beautifully together. The two older women seamlessly glided down the hallway, like they've been waltzing together for years.

As their little waltz came to an end, Andy twirled Miranda away then back into her arms again before dipping her, causing Miranda to let out a loud, joyous laugh. The breathtaking beauty before her eyes and the electrifying energy surrounding them pushed Andy to lean down and capture Miranda's soft lips with her own. Remembering that they had an audience, Andy tried to keep the kiss as kid friendly as possible. She did her best to keep the desire and lust at bay, even though all she wanted was to give into it. The teasing between Miranda and her throughout the day, along with how much she can feel Miranda vibrating with need in her arms, did not help one bit. Groaning internally, Andy righted Miranda and pulled away from the kiss to rest her forehead against Miranda's, as they caught their breath.

Loud applause from the kitchen's entryway brought the two women out of their private reverie. Miranda, not yet ready to break complete contact with Andrea, turned in the younger woman's arms to acknowledge her daughters. Andy, feeling the same way, wrapped both arms around Miranda's waist and discreetly pulled the woman closer to her.

"That was so cool!" Cassidy exclaimed.

"Yeah! Could you teach us that?" Caroline asked the two women.

"Sure! If we have time tonight or we can do it at a different time," Andy responded.

Miranda, with a smile on her lips, nodded her head in agreement. "Yes, Bobbseys. We can talk about dance lessons after you've completed your homework."

Caroline and Cassidy groaned in displeasure. "Mo-om…"

"You're welcome to stand here and complain, Bobbseys, but it doesn't get you any closer to see the pictures Andrea had graciously developed for us."

The girls, remembering the pictures, immediately ran towards the stairs and loudly dashed up the stairs towards their bedrooms.

"Have I mentioned that I am raising elephants?" Miranda stated in displeasure as soon as the bedroom door slammed shut upstairs.

Andy chuckled softly near Miranda's ears, causing the older woman to shudder slightly at the chill running down her spine. Seeing and feeling the light shudder, Andy grinned and nuzzled her face into the crook of Miranda's neck. The older woman let out a soft sigh and leaned her head to the side to give Andy more room. Taking advantage of the given opportunity, Andy planted soft kisses along Miranda's shoulder and neck. Feeling Miranda's pulse beating rapidly, she gave the spot a gentle nibble before lightly sucking on it.

"Andrea…"

"Yes?" Andy whispered into Miranda's ear.

Not waiting or expecting a response from the woman in her arms, Andy proceeded to teasingly nibble on Miranda's ear and tugged her earlobe. As her mouth focused on the white haired woman's ear and neck, Andy trailed one of her hands up to brush her fingers teasingly along Miranda's breasts. The touch was so faint and tantalizing that Miranda ached for more of the younger woman's touch.

"Andrea…"

"Would you like me to touch you, Miranda?'

"Yes…"

Upon hearing the consenting answer, Andy ran her thumb across one of Miranda's breasts, putting more pressure on the hardened nipple, causing Miranda to let out a low, throaty moan. Emboldened by the moan, Andy slipped her hand into the front opening of Miranda's shirt and behind the lacy bra to take hold of the soft, yet firm breast into her hand. Eyes closed, Miranda arched into the arousing touch.

"God… Look at you," Andy hissed out softly. "Look at how enticing you look, Miranda."

Miranda opened her eyes to find them standing in front of the mirror that's hung in her foyer. She wasn't even sure when they had moved from where they were originally. Miranda can barely register their surroundings. Her brain was clouded with arousal and her body was inflamed with need from the brunette's hot, but soft lips against her neck and the maddening hand that's tenderly squeezing her breast.

"I hadn't planned on touching you like this at least not until after our third date," Andy said quietly into Miranda's ear. "But after all the teasing today, I just couldn't resist. I mean how could I, when you look like this."

Miranda focused her aroused brain more on the reflection in front of her. The sight of her docile, needy body against the brunette's only heightened her arousal. Her cheeks are flushed from the heat of lust and arousal and her normally icy, blue eyes have darken to midnight blue. The buttons on her white button up shirt was unbuttoned to her waist, another thing she didn't remember happening. One of Andrea's hands was teasing her breasts and hardened nipples, she would move from one to the other. Squeezing the breast in the palm of her hand, then plucking the nipple between her thumb and forefinger. Andrea's other hand was playing with the top of her pants, taunting her with the possibility of it going lower and giving her the release her body is aching for.

"Andrea… Please..."

"What do you need, Miranda?" Andrea hotly asked in the woman's ear.

So wound up, Miranda decided to take matters into her own hand and took hold of Andrea's hand to push it down her pants to where she needed it.
