This is the seventh episode in my story series, Years Before.
In the last part, Eva showed her willingness to take sex out of the bedroom and Cass's irritating boyfriend's behaviour pushed her towards sex with me.
In this part, Eva and I share a weekend together alone and discover even more about ourselves and each other physically. The passions bring emotions to the surface that are impossible to deny.
Thank you for reading.

Eva and I arranged to meet up two weeks after the Easter debacle. In fact, it turned into me going over to Eva's and being able to stay the night.
However, other things happened beforehand.
There was no doubt the events of Easter Saturday were running through my mind and everything seemed complicated. I was in a sexual relationship with Eva that was developing. Despite this, I had sex with Cass and Eva was untroubled by it. In fact, the voyeur in her lapped up the details of it.
Even though I knew that would be the case, I felt a little disconcerted by it, even though, as 3 friends, we'd been deeply intimate before Easter happened - twice. I was beginning to feel though, that, if things developed further with Eva, the sex "arrangement" was going to turn into some deeper feelings between us.
About a week after Easter, Cass called me, and Eva separately, to come over. She had news.
"I wanted to let you both know I'm going away."
"When? Where?" Eva began her questioning and, knowing how she was on this, I listened for a while.
"A week on Saturday, Mayday weekend and I'm going to Sorrento..."
"Very nice." Eva said, glancing at me.
"...with my Mum."
"What? Sorry...with your Mum?" Eva was flabbergasted and, frankly, I was a bit confused too given Cass's previous view of their relationship.
"Yes. Mum happened to catch me the day after Easter and the sex and everything and I poured out how rubbish it had been with David...although not the bits afterwards."
We all exchanged glances, Words weren't needed. We all knew what happened.
"Look, Sorrento is nice, she's paying for me to go. It's two weeks and maybe I need some honest talking from her. I know you two think I should call it quits with him. I just need to be away a while."
Even though the holiday was with her Mum, and the history that went with that, it was impossible to disagree that she needed to get away.
"Cass, you do what you need to. We love you and want the best for you -- to be happy." I was trying to be encouraging. "We'll be here when you come back and we'll take it from there."
We chatted some more. Eva and I got ready to leave, kissing Cass on the way out.
Cass said as we were out the door. "Look, I'm going to lay low until I go. You know I love to be with you but, just for now, I think it's best for me." We reassured her and left.
Before we went our separate ways, as we both had things on, I had a quick chat with Eva about Easter.
"Eva, about me and Cass and the sex."
"Yes, Andy. You know it was OK with me."
"I know it was, Eva, but there have been times since that I felt like it was cheating on you...us."
"OK. I wondered if you might have felt that." She took my hand. "Andy?"
"Yes."
"I don't want to scare you, but knowing you had sex with Cass made me feel a little like...I wanted you...just for me. I know what we said about the "thing" and everything but this is make me feel more things than it being just sex between us. The whole night was a bit of a mess in the end, wasn't it?"
"No doubt about that. Look, I don't want to let what happened then occur again. I think I may be feeling the same things you are about our "thing"."
"That's certainly fine by me, Andy. I think I want you for me."
One conversation then redrew the lines and, it seemed, set us up for something a lot deeper than a bit of fun.
-
There was a sense of anticipation on both our parts when I went to Eva's that Saturday. We'd not managed to see each other since that day at Cass's. However, the conversation afterwards was so important in the context of what was going on.
In fact, it changed everything.
So, as Cass was probably at the airport waiting to fly, on a sunny, warm day, I rang Eva's doorbell. A cheery Eva opened the door. "Hi Andy, Come on in." Eva looked lovely. Her clear skinned face had no make-up and her hair was loose, frizzy and bouncing around as she walked. She closed her front door, flung her arms around me and gave me a big kiss.
"Eva, I've been looking forward to seeing you."
"Oh, I know, I've been waiting for today to come."
"You look absolutely beautiful."
"Thank you, baby."
Eva had a pretty, light yellow summer dress on with an occasional small flower as a pattern, knee length, long billowy sleeves but, I noticed quite quickly, buttons down the front that were open and played to that thing she knew I liked about the hint of bare skin. She was barefoot, with that cute cord anklet in place.
"Come with me. I've set up a little something."
She slowly led me by the hand around the living room to the kitchen and into the garden. She gave off the air of a completely carefree, happy, relaxed woman.
I walked out the back door with her. It was clear she had designs on enjoying the sun. Alongside the patio, on the lawn, were two blankets laid out, with some sun oil and another small bottle on the patio edge. Two small towels and two glasses of water were next to those.
"I thought we might spend the afternoon out here, Andy. Enjoy the sun...and each other."
