As September comes to a close, Les’s house is finished. All the special-order tiles and cabinets have arrived and are installed. Thursday night, after a day of moving in, Les and Phoebe just walk across the drive to join the group for dinner.
Afterward, they all troop back to Les’s to have a tour. Sam is embarrassed at all the praise Les is bestowing on him as they enter each room. She is pointing out all the details of the work Sam and his crew have done.
At the end of the tour, she promises Sam that things will be in place by Monday to take final pictures of the remodeling for his webpage as he has asked. Sam has photos of the rooms before the work was done and pictures of the finished empty rooms but wants to add the final, furnished rooms to show his team’s accomplishments fully.
He did the same thing with Tim’s house, and the notice the pictures have gotten has brought in more and more business. Sam has taken on a few more workers, but the requests for his services are coming in faster than he can schedule them. He has work for months out and hates to make people wait.
But many of them are more than happy to wait, even for months, to get the quality of service that Sam’s company offers rather than going with someone else. Tim and Les’s houses side by side at the King’s Lane Estate entrance, even from the outside, is a positive advertisement to all the homes there to beg for his services.
It is a problem he often talks about with Tim, and now that Brian has joined their Thursday dinners with Mark, he often joins in on the conversations and offers Sam advice from a financial side.
Sam’s biggest concern is that his team, feeling rushed with all the waiting jobs, will start to scrimp on the quality in trying to meet the demand. And it doesn’t help that Sam has bought a couple of houses in King’s Lane development which were selling dirt cheap, thinking he would have time to flip them for a hefty profit.
Right now, it is just in the discussion stage with friends, but Sam knows that at some point, he needs to expand his crews and grow his company. But then the money involved with that comes into play also.
After the tour, as the group is breaking up, all complement not just Sam on his work, but Les and Phoebe on how lovely their house is now. Brian and Mark, then Sam and Grace pull out of the drive. As Tim and Abbie, and Les and Phoebe, go into their homes next to each other, they wave goodnight pleasantly. All thinking it is nice to be neighbors now.
oOo
Getting undressed, Les sits on their bed, watching Phoebe as she gets naked. It still amazes her that she has found someone so wonderful who loves her at this point in her life. Seeing Les watching her, Phoebe comes over naked and bends down to undress Les to join her in the same state.
They come together for a deep, soft kiss, showing the love they feel for each other. Climbing into bed, holding each other, they talk about these last few months and how much has happened. Cupid seems to be doing double duty or more around them, ticking off the couple finding each other since the beginning of the year.
Mark and Brian, surprisingly since winter, coming together. Tim and Abbie making their way to each other. Themselves, with some help from Abbie, finding each other. And Grace and Sam, such a lovely couple, have actually stumbled upon each other here at their house when being renovated.
Added to it all, how close friends they have become with them all in this short time. But it is not just pillow talk between them. Both Les and Phoebe’s hands have been exploring under the covers, finding the wonder spot to rub for each other to make them glow. Talking peacefully while their fingers, wet with each’s juices, stroking the other’s clit brings a calm over both women.
Les and Phoebe are coming to understand that hot and wild sex is still fantastic, but it does not have to always be on that level. Like tonight, gently stroking each other brings a calm tingle over their bodies which is just as good.
Reading and researching the topic on the internet and elsewhere, Les and Phoebe are moving towards a relationship that can be pleasing on every level. Just the togetherness at times is enough. Knowing with certainty that the other cares and loves them is more than enough.
