Part 5
Paul withdrew from Corinne, resting back against Rove's chest; Rove's strong arms still wrapped around his body. Corinne slowly climbed up onto the bed, kneeling in front of Paul and leaning in to kiss him softly. Rove reached out further with his arms, wrapping them around Corinne so that the three of them were locked together in a warm embrace.
Paul first broke away, managing to extricate himself from the other two and getting to his feet and pulling on his boxers. He looked back at Rove and Corinne, who still had their arms around each other. He smiled.
"I'm going to go for a bit of a wander around the city, get some lunch. You two think you can behave yourselves while I'm gone?"
Rove and Corinne a look and Rove then leant down and began to kiss his way along Corinne's neck. She looked up at Paul and smiled.
"I think we'll be fine."
Rove suddenly pulled away from Corinne, jumping to his feet.
"I think there will be more hot water now. I'm going to take a shower."
He winked at them both and then turned and headed into the bathroom. Corinne got to her feet, ready to go and join him, but Paul stopped her. He just stood there staring at her for a moment, and the look she saw in his eyes both excited and scared her. She saw more than desires in Paul's eyes, she also saw love. He leant down and kissed her softly on the lips, then turned and walked out of the bedroom.
Corinne lay back down on the bed, curling up beneath the covers, suddenly very confused and having mixed emotions about what was going on between her and the two men. Her mind was now suddenly unable to think of anything but Paul. Trying to block out the thoughts, she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
"Corinne?"
Rove walked back into the bedroom, a towel wrapped around his waist once more. He saw her curled up in the bed, fast asleep. He walked over and leant down to place a soft kiss on her forehead, before grabbing some clean clothes and heading back out to the lounge room. He pulled on his jeans and an old t-shirt and lay down on the couch to watch some television, waiting for either Corinne to wake up or Paul to come back.
