“Yeah, that was pretty awesome,” Molly says, as she lays her hand on Shane’s cheek. Sheepishly, she asks, “You really smile every time I walk into the room?”

“Yeah, I can’t help it,” Shane says, as she turns her face into Molly’s hand and kisses her palm.

The party continued on into the late evening hours, but eventually the guests all started to leave, one by one. Bette and Tina had already left, taking a very tired Shay home with them. Phyllis, Joyce, Leonard and Sophie followed soon thereafter, leaving only Alice, Tasha, Jenny, Niki, Tom and Max. They all sat on the porch, drinking champagne, listening to the sound of the waves.

“We should get going,” Alice says, standing up.

“Yeah, we all should,” Jenny adds, as she gets up, as well.

“You don’t have to leave yet,” Molly replies.

“Yes, we do,” Alice says. “It’s your wedding night. We left you a little surprise upstairs, too,” she adds, winking.

They all laugh as they begin to gather up their things. Wishing Shane and Molly a good night, they go home, leaving Shane and Molly alone on the porch.

“Let’s go upstairs,” Molly suggests, standing up and offering Shane her hand. Shane smiles flirtatiously, reaches up and takes Molly’s hand. She gulps down the remnants of her champagne and allows Molly to lead her inside.

Molly leads Shane up the stairs and into the master bedroom. Opening the door, they find the room bathed in candlelight. They both look at each other and smile, knowing that this was the surprise that Alice had left them. Molly takes Shane’s hand and leads her to the bed. She softly pushes her onto it and takes a step away from her as Shane reaches out to grab for her. She smiles seductively as she reaches behind her and unzips her dress. She lets it slide from her body, revealing her breasts and panties. Shane bites her lip as Molly steps out of her dress and advances towards her. Shane reaches out and takes Molly’s hands and pulls her to her. She kisses her stomach, licking her skin, tasting her. She stands up, trailing her tongue along Molly’s body, from her stomach to her breast, to her nipple, to her neck, and along her jaw. She pulls back to look at Molly and smiles. Tucking Molly’s hair behind her ears, Shane leans in and kisses her. Her tongue licks at Molly’s lips, seeking entrance to her mouth. Obliging, Molly parts her lips and their tongues dance a slow and languid tango.
