Very new to all this, so please be gentle with me. Just wanted to keep some of the McElliot love going.

Would appreciate any feedback.

The fragrant smell of Kate McKenzie's scent filled Caroline Elliot's nostrils as she gently woke from dreaming about the woman in question. Caroline smiled as she opened her eyes and relished the feeling of being 'big spoon' to the pregnant 'little spoon'.

'Last night happened. It actually happened.' Thought Caroline, finding it hard to believe that her daydreaming had become reality. For months she had tortured herself with romantic thoughts about Kate finally forgiving her and taking her back. Every time they passed in the school hallways her mind drifted to different playful scenarios. They usually started with Kate discreetly slipping her hand into Caroline's and leading her off to seek privacy in the bookstore where she would take her breath away with kisses and tell her how much she missed her. But this didn't happen. Instead, every time their paths crossed, Kate avoided eye contact at all cost and Caroline would stride on, head held high to ensure her internal screaming mess didn't crack her bitch in heels, professional persona.

To see Kate standing there, her beauty glowing, and for her to ask Caroline to dance made every fiber of her body tingle. Nobody else in the room mattered as they stepped onto the dance floor and Kate held Caroline's waist. And then that kiss. 'That kiss'. That kiss that sent her head dizzy and her legs weak. A feeling Caroline would never forget. She had her back.

'Mmm back' thought Caroline as she shifted a little in the bed so that she could take in the delightful sight of Kate's gloriously naked back. The older woman couldn't resist the temptation to touch. She ran two fingers leisurely from the nape of Kate's neck down towards her soft, pert bum cheeks. Heat flushed across Caroline's body as Kate let out a sleepy groan of appreciation which brought back memories of the previous evening. Caroline bit her lower lip as she remembered Kate writhing in pleasure in the four-poster bed. Her beautiful baby bump arching as she climaxed, over and over and over again. This woman was like a drug to Caroline and she wanted a repeat prescription.

Caroline lowered herself and began to place a soft trail of kisses along the line she had just drawn with her fingers. Kate was beginning to stir, but remained lying on her side and Caroline grinned in anticipation of making this woman scream.

The kisses had reached Kate's bum, and, now that the woman was a little more awake, Caroline playfully nipped Kate's right cheek. This caused the sleepy woman to jump away from her. Caroline was prepared and she eased Kate's body back by guiding Kate's hips with her exploring hands. Her right hand lightly drifted down Kate's right thigh to her knee, which she circled a few times with her index finger.

Kate moaned and softly chuckled. She was ticklish there and Caroline knew it.

Caroline took this opportunity to pull Kate's leg into a raised bent position so that Kate's toes rested upon her other leg but it allowed Caroline access to where she wanted the most. Caroline could see that her sleepy assault on Kate had got the younger woman pleasantly aroused. Caroline couldn't wait to taste her. But she used her willpower to tease Kate some more. Kissing the inside on Kate's bent leg she got closer and closer to Kate's wetness. Stopping over it, letting her breath linger, which sent Kate wild.

"Caroline" said Kate breathlessly. "Please"

That was it, she couldn't tease her much longer.

"I'm a sucker for manners" smirked Caroline before unleashing her tongue and working Kate to a most superb orgasm.

Caroline retraced the kisses up Kate's spin and resumed her 'big spoon' position.

"Merry Christmas, darling" Caroline said placing a final kiss on Kate's bare shoulder.

"Mmmm, Merry Christmas."

Both fell back into a gentle slumber.

For the second time that Christmas morning Caroline contently woke only to realise Kate was absent from their festive nest. Suspecting Kate was in the bathroom, she let out a soft call for her girlfriend as she rose up out of bed.

"Kate?" Caroline rubbed her eyes and stretched a little whilst sitting on the edge of the bed. As she opened her eyes from a very satisfying morning stretch, smiling as she thought about the work out that she had had in the last 12 hours. Her gaze fell upon a fully dressed Kate stepping out of the bathroom.

"Kate?" said Caroline again, this time more quizzical.

Kate, who was dressed in the same red, wrap around dress from the previous evening, stood with her shoes on and her bag in hand. She hadn't being lying when she told Caroline that she had got in, shut the door, then turned round and came straight back. There was no time to pack any fresh clothes.

Kate tried to not let Caroline's naked body (a body that she adored) distract her from what she had to say.

"Caroline…last night…last night shouldn't have happened", informed Kate seriously.

Caroline's eyes widened as the words hit her with force. She couldn't bear to have all this taken away from her…not again! For Kate to think she had made a mistake in driving back to the wedding tugged at Caroline's gut.

"…I was just incredibly…" a huge grin started to spread across her face "…horny."

Kate knew her playful joke had not gone down well when she saw those glittery blue eyes fill with tears.

"Oh, Caroline…". Kate dropped her bag and glided across the room to take the older woman into her arms. Caroline sunk into the embrace gently sobbing. Kate removed the strands of blonde hair out of Caroline's face and rested her hand her cheek. "I was just nipping to reception for some more towels. I wasn't going anywhere." She gently lifted Caroline's head so that their eyes met and she could give Caroline a look of absolute adoration. "Too soon for jokes?"

Caroline shook her head meekly, tears still rolling down her face, but with a very grateful smile on her face "No".

"Then why are you crying sweetheart?" smiled Kate.

"I'm not…you've…you've just set off my 'horrible joke' detectors" Caroline offered with a pout and pointing to her eyes then wiping away the tears.

"Ah, I see. Is that the technical term for tears, Dr Elliot?" Kate said with a slight chuckle. Caroline nodded convincingly.

"Well, it's I good job I don't teach Science, isn't it?"

"Oui".

The couple stared at each other, reading each other's thoughts. Their lips met, and, once again, they happily got lost in the moment.
