"Amelia?""Yes, I'm in the bath.""Are you alright?" Nick asked."Yes, thanks, I'll be out in a few minutes.""Okay," there was silence for a few seconds. "Have you got lots of bubbles, darling?"What? Darling? Was he waiting for her? What did he want? "Er yes, lots of bubbles.""Oh, that's good," he said as he stuck his head around the door, wearing an irrepressible grin.Amelia gasped and covered her breasts with her hands, crossing her legs and crouching lower in the water. "Out! she yelled."Don't be silly love I can't see anything," more's the pity, he thought. You're all covered in bubbles. Shall I wash your hair?" Nick smiled at her and reached for the showerhead."I, I, I can do it," she stuttered."Much nicer if someone else does it though, don't you think?' he sat on the edge of the bath and turned the water on, "Tell me if it's too hot."&nb
HEAVEN & HELL Jess
Jessica Elwood looked around her bedroom at all the posters of Nick Henderson, she would be sorry to leave them all, but she knew which one she had to take with her. His smile was so familiar to her. It felt like it had been part of her all her life. His was the last face she saw when she closed her eyes at night and the first face she saw when she opened them the next morning. She listened to Nick singing all the time, especially on the way to her Saturday job. She had lied to Mr Bashir, who owned the local corner shop and newsagent about how old she was. She'd told him she was fourteen, well it wasn't a lie anymore, today was her birthday. Her mum had forgotten, but that was nothing new, half the time she couldn't remember her name. Tonight, she would cook something nice for them both she just hoped that none of her 'uncles' would be at the house.

On Thursday the weather was fine, and she explored the garden with Nick and Gabriel."Oh, is that a maze? Can I go in it?" Amelia looked up at Gabriel. almost jumping up and down like a five-year-old"Of course you can," he laughed, he looked at Nick. "What do you think, Nick?"Nick grinned, and his eyes narrowed at Amelia, "I think there should be kisses if we find you."Gabriel laughed, "When we find you." He turned to Amelia, "Okay Millie, You have got two minutes to lose yourself. It's a huge maze, so you should have plenty of time.They watched her run to the entrance and disappear into the hedges, admiring her plump, wiggling arse."We'd better start thinking about that letter you got the other day.

HEAVEN & HELL The Wrong Girl
Claire Henderson looked at the pictures on her desk. In the back of her mind, she knew this was going to happen. She was surprised that it hadn't happened sooner. Nick looked so young in the photo, eighteen, still a child in many ways. Though he was sensible most of the time, and she knew that he was a good man.The package pushed through the letterbox contained letters and photos, but the message from Jessica was heartbreaking. A child was looking after her addict mother and only running away because she was in danger of being a sex slave. If any of this were true, even if she weren't Nick's child, she would make sure she was safe.****They walked back through the gardens to the house, Gabriel and Millie walked, Nick took off at the speed of sound back to the house. Gabriel pulled his phone out talking and reached for Millie's hand. He squeezed it gently, rubbing his thumb over the back of her hand. Gabriel finished his call."Hey I'm sorry

Now that she was here, the only one missing was Nick."Morning everyone, " she said, walking over to the coffee machine.Gabriel gave her a stunning smile "Good morning darling, did you sleep well?" he asked as he wrapped his arm around her waist and planted a kiss on her lips.She watched the slow grin on his lips. She blushed, fancy kissing her in front of the girls and Claire, "Gabriel. don't do that" she said through gritted teeth."What? Why not? I love kissing you."She shook her head and moved away from his arms, "I just feel bewildered Gabriel, am I a housekeeper? Am I your girlfriend? Or," she searched for the words, "am I just someone
HEAVEN & HELL Betsy
Millie's terrified scream had Gabriel, Nick and Jess shooting to their feet."Betsy!" yelled Gabriel.They charged down the kitchen stairs, to find their shaken housekeeper up on the kitchen counter, leaning back into the wall, still screaming."Shh! It's only Betsy!"Gabriel stepped between her knees, putting his arms around her."Calm down, Millie. You're probably frightening her.""It's a snake!" she squealed, pointing to the orange corn snake, slithering across the kitchen floor towards Nick.Nick bent with an outstretched hand, allowing the snake to coil its way up his arm."Get it out of my kitchen now!""Millie its okay, she's harmless."Gabriel lifted Millie off the counter and soothingly stroked her back as Millie clung to him, hiding her face in his neck. Her beautiful big bosoms, shuddered against his chest as she tried to control her fear, and he wished, not for the first ti
HEAVEN & HELL Being Honest
Nick sat at the breakfast table the next morning, inhaling the mouthwatering aroma of grilled bacon while he sorted their post. Millie didn't always cook breakfast. They started most days with cereal and toast. But Gabriel had finished the Coco pops as a midnight snack and so this morning Nick was sorting out the mail to the sound of sizzling bacon.He put Gabriel's letters on the table in the place where he usually sat just as the kitchen door opened and he entered the room."Oh God, that smells delicious!" Gabriel said, lifting his face and breathing in. He looked at Millie and grinned at Nick."Millie, if we have bacon, can we have poached eggs as well, please?"Make that two please Millie," Nick said.Gabriel stopped behind Millie on his way to the coffee pot. She had her hair up, and he wanted to slip his arms around her and kiss her neck. He glanced at Nick, wondering if he could get away with it. Nick watched him knowingly, with one eyebrow

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

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

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.

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

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
