2020-07-30 21:32:19Claire Henderson was just tidying her desk, she'd had a reasonably quiet afternoon considering that she was the go-to woman for several high profile people. She had uploaded a couple of photos and a link for an interview for an up and coming singer who had just won a national competition. She had spoken to the social media assistant who worked for her firm and who was in charge of the Facebook profile of one of the biggest British heartthrob actors Sebastian Drake and had a conversation with a detective from Scotland Yard over a woman who was stalking him.
When she got home she would call Nick, find out how the meeting went this morning, it was a pity she couldn't make it, she usually would have been there. The police had been called after she had spent time talking to Seb this morning.
The poor lamb was quite shaken up after reading some vile and threatening messages and had flown to a Bali to have some peace and qui

When Gabriel went back down to the kitchen, Amelia was draining the pasta."Hey, you okay?" Gabriel leaned against the counter, "that smells delicious, do you want me to set the table?"Millie nodded "yes, please."

Wednesday eveningNick reached across to the switch above the bedside table and dimmed the lights in his bedroom. He made himself comfortable in bed, and resting against the pillows he watched his naked lover of five years walk from the en suite bathroom to the bed. He cocked his head appreciatively and couldn't help smiling at Gabriel's Greek god-like form of broad shoulders and narrow hips as he lifted the deep red cover and got in beside him.Nick lifted his arm and Gabriel moved up to lay under it and rested his head on Nick's chest, he wriggled and shifted a bit getting comfortable, their legs entwined and Gabriel's arm rested on Nick's abdomen.Nick stroked the back of Gabriel's neck squeezing it a little to ease the tension of the day, his fingers playing with his hair, winding it around his fingers, Gabriel sighed, it was so soothing."What did Claire say about Amelia?"Gabriel stroked his hand down over smooth skin and hard m

Millie lay in the dark, she had tossed and turned for most of the night. Before she got into bed she had opened the curtains, she didn't like the dark, too many nasty things happened in the dark. Even though it wasn't dawn, yet there was some light outside as the moon shone on the clouds turning them misty white. It was quiet though, and Millie knew she must have fallen asleep at one point because she didn't remember the radio turning itself off.She had certain rituals that she had to adhere to before she went to bed, the curtains would be opened, and the radio would be put on, only very quietly, but some noise was essential. The wardrobes had to be opened and checked to make sure that there was no one hiding in them. She knew it was stupid, but it had become a habit, and she did it without even thinking about it anymore.Millie shuddered, she drew the blind down in her mind's eye and locked the thought of her troubles away. Instead, she thought of something pleasant,

Millie opened Nick's bedroom door, just a nose width, just enough that she could see into the room. The bedside light was on and dimmed, giving the room a golden haze. Millie's eyes opened wide at the vision in front of her. Nick lay on the bed, his back to her, he must have been hot as the bedclothes had been pushed back to his waist.Millie couldn't take her eyes off his arm as it rested on his side, she watched his arm going up and down as he breathed, he made no sound, and she felt utterly hypnotized by the movement. His bed-head hair gently ruffled. She knew he had broad shoulders, but to see them in the flesh was...was awesome. Her gaze followed his backbone and the smooth skin surrounding his muscles, he gleamed golden in the soft light. Then he moved. He kicked the cover off, and he bent one leg to rest on top of the quilt.Millie pressed her hand hard to her mouth to stop the slightest sound as she looked upon his body. His completely naked body. He was beauti

Nick got quickly out of bed and headed to the bathroom. Gabriel was just brushing his teeth. Nick made sure to close the door tightly."I think I've just been ogled," he grinned at Gabriel in the mirror.

The car was spacious; Millie was surprised that they could all sit on the back seat without being squashed. Nick got in first, then Amelia and then Gabriel."Don't be nervous, Amelia, we'll look after you no matter what your sisters say to you."He knew she was nervous, she was so quiet, was it just the thought of seeing her sisters that had her sitting rigidly between them or was it something else? He moved closer to her,"Can I hold your hand, please? Even I get nervous about meeting someone new." Gabriel didn't wait for her to answer but reached out for her hand, his thumb stroking the back of it.Nick glared at him, "Gabriel Swann did you just tell a whopping fib so you could hold Amelia's hand?"Gabriel smirked and gave a little shrug. Nick moved up closer to her as well, "Amelia I'm not going to lie to you, I would love to hold your hand just to comfort you, I know you're nervous about tonight, but you don't have to be. I will be

Pearl and Ruby Ashton, stood in front of the mirror in their bedroom and checked to see if they were identical. Totally identical.It was an excellent way to have fun with strangers swapping identity, it also meant that in the situation they were about to embark on they got a double helping of men.Their dresses were outrageous, a solid panel of black silk down the front and back to cover their breasts and bottom the rest of it was sheer black organza, showing plenty of side boob and it was perfectly obvious that neither of them was wearing underwear."They might have sent a car for us," moaned Ruby as she arranged her fringe for the hundredth time."Don't worry darling, we will have a nice limo to take us back to Nick's house. I can guarantee it" Pearl smiled at in her sister in the mirror. "Come on Ruby the taxi will here in a minute."The girls didn't talk on the way to the restaurant. Ruby sat admiring her ruby polished nails, they always

Millie took a last look around her pretty bedroom; she had begun packing as soon as they got back to the house. She zipped her case up and heaved it off the bed. Breathing deeply, she calmed the lump in her throat. The last thing she wanted to do was leave, and maybe if tonight had happened differently then perhaps she would stay, but Pearl had made that impossible.When she went to find Lucy in the ladies toilet, the teen had asked some very pertinent questions. Lucy was drying her eyes when Millie found her."Hey Lucy," Millie put her arm around her, "that was the kindest and most lovely thing anyone has ever said for me."Lucy sniffed, "is Nick angry?""Oh he's furious, but not with you, he could never be angry with you?""He will be, he hates anyone making a fuss like that."Millie shook her head "No, he's going to be so proud of you. I don't think anyone has ever spoken to my sisters that way before. I certai

Christmas Eve"You disgusting little horror, I've never known anyone smell like you, Not even your handsome big brother." Nick held Aria Henderson-Swan at arm's length and took the stairs two at a time. "You gorgeous beautiful stinkpot, what are we going to do with you?""Shh, I've just got Arlo to sleep," Gabriel whispered, he sat in one of the two rocking chairs with his tiny son over his shoulder gently patting his back. "You'd better be quick, one of her legs has turned a strange mustard colour."Bloody hell what has your mother been feeding you?"Same as she has been feeding this one, Google says breastfed babies have mustard pooh.""Great." Nick sighed, "Oh my
HEAVEN & HELL The Bride is Walking.
"What do you think?" Millie twisted around to look over the back of the wedding dress in the full-length mirror. The twins shook their heads, "Looks great at the front, you can hardly see the bump, but the back is a mess, far too many frills. I'll go and have a look, see what I can find. Pearl and Ruby wandered off. "What do you think, Mum? Rene shook her head, "No the girls are right, it's too much,""It looks as if you have a crumpled bed sheet attached to your bum," Lucy said. "Lucy!" said Claire, try not to upset the bride.""We are not having our gorgeous step-mum, looking like a complete clown, she can hardly see her feet, nevermind her bum. She needs us to tell the truth."Millie went back to the changing room and waited for the next dress, Pearl and Ruby came barging in."Try this Millie, I know its not the right colour, but the style is perfect."Millie wasn't going to argue, right now she was so fed up with trying frocks on, she w

Millie lay on the bed, as the ultrasound technician covered her tummy with gloop. The room was in semi-darkness, and Nick and Gabriel stood at the bed's side, Nick holding her hand and Gabriel's hand lay on her thigh."Just let me do my measurements, and then I'll show you the baby," Said the sonographer wielding the ultrasound wand over Millie's lower tummy.It only took a few minutes to get her measurements."Well, this is interesting," she said, "Which one of you is the father?" the sonographer asked."We don't know yet," Millie said, "and we don't mind all our family will love the baby.""I apologise, I thought you were a surrogate for these two gentlemen."Millie laughed, "No, we're just a very unusual family, and there is plenty of love for our children.""Do any of you have twins in the family?" The men shook their heads, "I have twin sisters" Millie said."Well, you're having twins, let me
HEAVEN & HELL Being Loved
It was so wonderful to be home, and Millie revelled in Nick and Gabriel taking care of her. Nick could hardly bear to let her out of his sight. He followed her around like a lost puppy, especially on that first evening.Claire brought Katie home after work. Katie glanced into the sitting room and realised Millie was there, "Mama"! she yelled running into the room and throwing herself onto Millie's lap.Millie breathed a sigh of contentment, how could she have abandoned this sweet little girl because of her hurt feelings. How ridiculous she was.Katie held tight to Millie's neck, "I'm sorry for leaving you, Katie," she whispered in her ear, "I'll never leave you again."Millie put Katie to bed after dinner, and they all sat and talked about the things they had been doing."So How are you doing Millie?" asked Claire.Millie glanced up at Nick and Gabriel. They were smiling at her like Cheshire cats.&

Jess and Lucy stared wide-eyed at Amelia's message, they both let out a sigh, "Thank god for that, so, shall we call Smokey?""No, let's ask Gabe if he will take us, Millie will need someone to be with her. Someone who loves her."Lucy said, "Not like we love her.""Okay, what about Dad?"

"Tell me what Angus said again?" Nick could hardly believe what Gabriel had told him, that he was suffering morning sickness, it was unbelievable, he'd never heard of this before, he didn't have this when Jess's mum was pregnant."He doesn't think there is anything wrong with you, he said to look up Couvade Syndrome, you read it yourself, Nick." Gabriel was holding on to his patience,
HEAVEN & HELL Tea-Shops and Antiques.
Three Weeks Later.Millie lay in her bed. She had left the curtains open, and from her position, she could see the trees across the river. The birds were tweeting and doing aerobatics among the branches, and the sun was shining. For the first time in weeks, everything was peaceful. Millie sighed, a feeling of contentment rose within her, and all she needed now was... No! She could not think of them. The lump in her throat stopped her breath, and her eyes stung with unshed tears. Jumping out of bed, she marched to the bathroom, determined that she would carry on with her new life. She leaned over the bath and turned the shower on, no massive shower with a million jet streams here. She would be lucky if the hot water lasted until she had washed her hair. The agent had promised they would repair the thermostat as soon as, but she hadn't heard from him for two weeks. God another Monday morning on the phone to him, She had never had any trouble in London with repairs t
HEAVEN & HELL Searching
The cottage was idyllic, it was a fairytale cottage, with a drystone wall at the front and garden full of flowers. If the inside were as pretty as the garden, Millie would take it. The Derbyshire hills surrounding the picturesque village were beautiful to look at, and just across the road, the river Derwent rolled peacefully along.The peace that Millie felt was incredible, and no one would bother her here. All she could hear was singing of the birds. The cottage was on a back road in the village, the only people who would come down this road were the people who lived in the other four ho
HEAVEN & HELL Shameful.
Gabriel watched the girls cook tea. He enjoyed being with them. They were funny, and they both explained many things to him about his life."Gabe, would you like to go and tell Nick dinner's ready please?""Do you know where he'll be?" he said, standing and stretching."Up two flights of stairs, first door on the left. That's your bedroom. He's probably sulking."Gabriel sighed, "Does he often do this, sulk, I mean?"Lucy rolled her eyes, "What you have to remember Gabe, is that although my brother is the outwardly dominant member of this family, you are usually in charge. Nothing happens in this household without you saying so and giving it your approval."Gabriel's navy blue eyes opened wide, "Are you sure?"Both the girls nodded their heads. "He just talks and shouts a lot," Lucy said. "But you are the one we all go to, and especially Nick. If you didn't realise it, Nick has said something to Millie, not meaning to hurt
