Unable to resist her handsome husband, Jessica urged him to enter her. Arching her body, she gasped as he sped up his rhythm.

As Eddie orgasmed and rolled onto his back, Jessica sat up and stroked the hairs on his chest. ‘What do you want for breakfast?’ she asked him.

Eddie smiled at his beautiful wife. He had never been a selfish lover and unless Jessica was satisfied, then neither was he. ‘I want you,’ he said, as he moved down the bed and pleasured her with his tongue.

Aware of the animal-like noises coming out of her parents’ bedroom, Frankie got out of bed and crept next door to wake Joey.

‘What time is it?’ her brother mumbled.

Frankie pulled the quilt from over his head. ‘Forget the time. Mother and Father are at it again. They’re just so embarrassing. When I hear ’em making them noises, it puts me off me breakfast.’

Joey smiled and sat up. ‘They are married, Frankie – they’re entitled to have a bunk-up, you know.’

Frankie pulled a face. ‘I’m never gonna have sex after listening to them two. No wonder I’m still a virgin, they’ve put me off for life.’

Joey couldn’t help but laugh. She could be a funny girl, his sister, at times. ‘You’ll have sex when the time’s right. You just ain’t met the right person yet, that’s all.’

Frankie playfully punched his arm. ‘Hark at you, the expert. You’ve never been out with a girl for more than a couple of weeks.’

‘So?’ Joey answered.

‘So, how come you’re so knowledgeable? Both Leanne and Sarah said you never slept with them. So, who have you slept with, then?’

Joey laughed as he forcefully but playfully removed Frankie from his bedroom. ‘That’s for me to know and you to find out,’ he told her.

Jessica stood over the cooker with a smile on her face. ‘Do you want mushrooms and beans?’

‘I’ll have whatever you’re offering,’ Eddie replied suggestively.

Jessica giggled. ‘So what are you up to today? Will you be home late tonight?’

Eddie shook his head. ‘I’ve got a few people to visit, all local, and I’ll probably poke me head in the Flag and see if Ronny’s in there. I won’t be late, I’ll be home before teatime. What about you? You doing anything?’

Debating whether to tell him she was worried about the twins and was off to see the headmaster, Jess heard Frankie and Joey’s footsteps and decided to keep quiet. ‘I’ve not planned anything, although I might pop into Romford and get some more Christmas presents.’

‘What’s a matter with you? Too old to give your dad a kiss now, are you?’ Eddie asked Frankie.

Frankie politely kissed him then, screwing up her face, smiled at her brother.
