Hey, thanks for asking but unfortunately; everyone's got problems, and i have a pretty big one at the moment. I've had to come home from uni and i didn't bring my laptop so i'm on my home computer which is really slow. I'm also finding it quite hard to write at the moment because of some personal stuff that's happening. Hopefully i'll be able to get back in to it when i have my laptop back and i'm going back tomorrow but i don't think a chapter will be up before at least wednesday.

I don't mind you bugging me, you might have to keep doing it, just to remind me that this fic means something to people! lol

P.s. Did you like my play on the title there? Decided i'd try and be clever, lol.

lol, loved the play on words.

Don't worry about not updating it sounds like you have a lot of personal stuff going on at the moment which is much more important so put that first. I'm sure we will all survive till wednesday.

hope everything is okay

hey everyone, thanks so much for commenting and asking for updates, it means a lot... seriously!

I probably won't be able to update again until after Tuesday as i have an essay due. but i felt bad for not updating so here's a bit of filler which means it doesn't include what i said would be in this chapter in a comment a while back. It's pretty short too, sorry about that!

Those of you that have been reading my other fic may remember the 'racy fluff'... well i added some in this chapter just for you... lol. (It kind of happened accidentally while i was writing...)

I guess there's a warning in there somewhere but just in case...

WARNING: Scenes of a sexual nature.

Chapter. 8.

"Mum, you are being so unfair!" Tess glared at her mother in fury with her arms crossed as they stood in the kitchen on the following Monday morning and Aden and Mark feigned ignorance whilst eating their toast quietly in the background.

"You've worked there before, it's not like this is going to be complete hell for you, Tess," Belle spoke to her daughter with easy calmness.

"But I had plans tomorrow night," Tess continued to whine.

"Oh really…?" Belle said incredulously, now mimicking her daughter's actions and folding her own arms.

"Yeah, I was going to see a film in Yabbie Creek… you said it was okay last week," Tess tried.

"Last week it was okay, this week; it's not," Belle answered her, never wavering from her powerful position.

"Is this really necessary, Mum, it's not like I'm the daughter from hell."

"Well, it is necessary because you are grounded and grounded means not going out and it means doing what I ask you to," Belle said, finally uncrossing her arms and sighing. "Look, Tess, if you just do what I ask and work at the diner tomorrow night and then continue to do what I tell you for the next two weeks, you can go back to what you were doing before."

"Fine," Tess caved. "…but don't tell me you never got drunk when you were my age!"

"Don't even try that, Tess." Aden finally entered the argument in a tone of finality that put an end to it straight away as he stood up and approached the two women. "I don't ever want to hear you say something like that to your mother again, understood?" he said firmly.

"Fine," Tess answered crisply, "I'm going to school," she grabbed her bag to leave and then turned around. "Oh, is it okay if I go round to my English partner's house after school so that we can work on our assignment?" she asked, "…please?" she added in a bitter sweet voice.

"No," Belle said. "…but they can come here. You're father is around after school to keep an eye on you."

"Argh," Tess growled. "I'm grounded, not five!"

Belle fixed an unaltered glare on her and she rolled her eyes before leaving the room.

"I've got to go too," Mark said, standing up and starting to leave. "Bye Mum," he addressed Belle, kissing her on the cheek as he left, making her smile at his sweetness.

"See ya, Mark," Aden tried.

"Whatever," he responded in an uncaring tone.

Aden and Belle watched their kids leave before turning to look at each other and sighing.

"…Belle, why are you being so hard on Tess?" Aden asked her cautiously.

She looked at him with confusion, "You think I'm being hard on her?"

"Well, she kind of had a point, what were you like when you were her age?" he laughed.

Belle rolled her eyes, "I know that it's just something that she's gonna go through," Belle explained; relenting as they both took stools next to each other, Aden on the left of Belle, "…but I'm just so terrified that something like what happened to me will happen to her."

Aden smiled weakly and wrapped his arm around Belle, bringing her head in to his chest, and kissing the top of her head, "We won't ever let that happen. …but you can't stop her growing up, Belle. You won't have control over her forever."

Belle sighed, "I know."

"So you think you might ease up on the grounding?" Aden asked hopefully.

Belle took her head out of him and looked at him questioningly, "Why do you want me to ease it up so much?"

"I don't," he answered shrugging, but when her disbelieving looks continued he added, "Because she'll still be grounded by the weekend after next which is our anniversary, and if she's grounded, we won't be able to get away."

Belle smiled, "…and what's going to persuade me that this anniversary trip is worth that?" she said seductively.

A slow smile grew on Aden's face as he looked at her. He used his left index finger to tilt her chin up so that their eyes connected, "This," he told her as he brushed his lips against hers before pulling back to look at her with raised eyebrows.

"Hmm," Belle pondered, "I'm still not convinced."

He smiled evilly and this time used his left hand to touch her cheek, stroking her jaw line with his thumb as he kissed her, deepening it quickly as he slipped his tongue in to her mouth every so often. Aden heard Belle let out a small moan, stood up and picked her up in one swift movement, their lips never parting as she wrapped her legs around his waist and held on round his neck. He tried to carry her to the door but missed and she ended up wtih her back going in to the wall, meaning that their lips parted for a second. Belle took the opportunity, and although her legs were still off the floor, the wall was providing her with the support she needed to be able to undo the buttons of his shirt as he kissed her neck, making her writhe in ecstasy. She slipped his shirt off and it fell gracefully to the floor before he began on her buttons whilst she made sure their lips re-collided.

"Bedroom," Belle breathed as Aden went back to kissing her neck and working his way down her clavicle now that it was bare, moving her bra strap down so it loosely hung on her arm making her actual bra loosen so that Aden's breath caught in his throat in anticipation and he let out a slight growl.

"Do we have time?" he breathed in reply, as he took a hold of her and maneuvered them through the door way and to the bottom of the stairs about to begin the ascent.

"Well, I might be late for work but I'm quitting so who cares!" she exclaimed, this time leaning back to look at him as he carried her up the stairs with gentle care.

When they had reached the top, she scrambled to undo his flies as he carried her through their bedroom door and placed her on the bed, falling carefully on top of her, and kissing her with the same passion as before as he scrambled for the flies to her pencil skirt and kicked off his shoes as she did the same.

He couldn't find the zip.

"Just rip it!" she whispered forwardly, right in to his ear as she trailed kisses down his neck and chest where she could, and ran her hands over his muscular shoulders and back.

He did as he was told, ripping it down the side and then slid it off, so that she kicked it across the room. Following this removal, he drew the stockings she was wearing off her legs delicately, so she was just in her lingerie as he moved back to face her again.

He hovered above her a fraction as she pulled his trousers down, revealing his boxers.

She felt him coming closer.

"Socks!" she yelled suddenly and Aden rolled his eyes before taking them off, trying to distance himself from her as little as possible whilst he did so.

He resumed his position abover her and she could feel the warmth emanating from his skin on to hers.

"I love you," he told her softly and then placed a gentle kiss on her lips.

"I love you too," she said, smiling, as she grabbed the back of his neck and forced him down towards her to kiss her again with the same burning desire as downstairs. She ran a hand up and down his chest as his fingers found their way to her bra straps.

"Okay, I'll ease up, but she's not gonna know why, alright?"

So i thought it was about time for some old fashioned, passionate Adelle love! Hope you guys like it! Please leave me a comment!
