Piper was suddenly winded at the piercing green eyes staring back at her - Seb Clemens as she lived and breathed. Standing in front of her oozing a quiet sex appeal just like his brother Will.He was so muscular and looked to be hard in all the right places. As she scanned him, he chose that moment to lick his lips. Oh god, she thought, what luscious lips he had. But, she shouldn't be looking at him like that, he was her friend.What should she say to him? Should she hug him? No, best not as he didn't look happy to see her. It was agony as they stood there in silence, so Piper decided to bite the bullet and speak first."Hi Seb, how are you?".It felt like forever until he replied "I'm well, thanks, Piper. When did you get back?".Even his tone was cold, or was she misreading him? Seb had always been hard to read as kids and even more so as a teenager. But she could swear she felt nothing but disdain emanating from him. Seb stood roote

Piper could feel someone touching her all over her body, fingers roaming, stroking, and teasing her. Her skin was alive and on fire at the hands caressing her - more, she wanted more!Her heart quickened, licking her lips she groaned in pleasure. It had been a long time since she'd been touched like that. She writhed on the bed in pure pleasure, a moan escaping her lips, sweat pouring out of her entire body and dripping everywhere.She clenched her thighs together to try to help the ache between her legs but it made no difference. She needed whoever it was inside of her now! But it was dark, so she couldn't see who the mysterious man was.The moonlight reflected through her bedroom window, exposing a profile. She could make out chin-length wavy hair and reached out to touch it.As she ran her fingers through it, something felt very familiar. His scent too - she would know that smell anywhere! He smelt of dove soap with a hint of spice.

Piper decided to take a stroll down past the harbour towards The Ship Inn. It was only a matter of time before she ended up at her old haunt. Plus it gave her the headspace she needed to think about the awful nightmare she'd had about Dale last night. A little perspective was all she needed and the sea air would do that for her. The trained therapist in her knew that she couldn't brush how she was feeling under the carpet, but at the same time, it was hard to think about Dale again. She was naive to think moving home would solve all her issues.As Piper neared the pub she saw two familiar figures sat on the bench at the bottom of the stairs. She smiled as memories came flooding back once again of the three of them sat in that exact spot many years ago. For just a moment it felt like no time has passed until she felt two sets of eyes on her.She approached Seb and Will with a little trepidation as she hadn't expected to bump into both of them so soon, especially Seb. He

As last orders were called, they all decided to call it a night and slowly started walking towards the main centre of Porthleven.Piper felt somewhat tipsy which gave her the courage to walk arm in arm with Seb and Will. As they reached Harbour road Seb came to an abrupt stop."I'm this way," Seb said pointing up towards Torleven road where he now lived. "Oh, I thought you and Will could walk me home like the old times". Piper replied expectantly.Before Seb could respond, Will barged in " I'll walk you home. I'm sure all my brother wants to do is hit the sack after a long week on the boat".Seb could see the hope in Piper's eyes that he'd join them, but all he could feel was Wills eyes boring into his. He was in a catch 22 situation - Piper who wanted him to walk her home, and Will who clearly wanted him to leave them alone.Seb made a decision "You don't need both of us to walk you home. I'll see you soon". And with that he turned an

As Seb made his way to his boat his head was heavy and thick from the previous nights drinking. It had been a while since he'd had a hangover and he remembered now why he didn't drink very often. A full day out on the boat was going to test his limits today, especially if it was going to be as hot as predicted. Piper looked so beautiful last night; he wished he'd told her that now. But he just felt tongue-tied whenever he was around her and it wasn't helped that when Will was around he commanded all the attention and did most of the talking. One thing Piper didn't explain though, was what suddenly made her leave her life and career in London. Whenever Will had probed she'd managed to dodge the question. She was definitely hiding something. But then again, Will couldn't judge her - when he'd returned home he refused to talk about his life in the Army and still wouldn't now. He was curious to know how the night ended for Will and Piper after Will had continued walking
