Chapter 209: Simply Red

Whether it was karma or whether some higher being was looking down at Emily and laughing, she had no idea. Or maybe it was fate. But whatever it was, Emily was ready for it to be over already. She had spent most of Saturday, being as close to Derek as possible, when they were in bed. She was not shy about initiating contact. Being sure to move into his personal space, and cuddle him as much as possible. Then, when they had gone up to the roof so that he could swim. While she continued with her embroidery. Emily had been focused on making sure that she was as relaxed as possible. So that Derek could realize that she was not unnerved by his presence simply because of something as natural as getting an erection in the morning.

It had been slow going.
