Erin - Comfort

All Models depicted are 18+ Erin is 21yrs old

"How is your Sister?"

I ran into Erin in the hallway that splits the main living area from the private quarters. I had just been talking to Venice about her upcoming commission work. Getting such a major job so quickly had left her a bit stunned, and I wanted to ensure her it will just another shoot, no different to what we had already done together, and everything was going to happen at the Villa, so her comfort and safety was assured.
Rada is on her way home, after the controversy earlier in the week she cut her stay in Hong Kong short and wanted to be with everyone until it all cooled down again. She will be a good person to have around, not one else had been in an actual gun fight so Rada's coolness under extreme pressure will be a stabilizing factor.
This also helped to comfort Venice, she has become a big fan of Rada's work with us and knowing she will be personally coaching her throughout put a huge smile on her face. Rada herself expressed a keen interest in our newcomer and was itching to get to know her.
Erin had just been leaving Ana and Milla's room as I made my way back to my own. With the various events this week, good and bad, Milla had gone back to her usual quarters, Erin taking her place in my suite for the time being.
Despite the circumstances, and given the night Erin and I had a few days ago, this felt right to me. Balanced again in some way, something sorely needed right now.

Erin fell into step beside me "She's OK. You know Ana better than most, she'll be fine."

That much was true. Friends, lovers, model and photographer, business partners, even one time cell mates, Ana and I had a history. I could argue though Milla has surpassed me in many of late however.
"Yeah, I don't know any one stronger." Also true "I have never seen her this angry before though. It's different. She would normally strip paint with language when she is pissed, but she has hardly spoken at all about this, at least not to me."
It was not like her, I thought, such a cold silent anger. "I just worry. You know what she means to me, and to Milla"
"She'll be fine" Erin repeated and gave me a smile. "Once Milla picks back up again, Ana will follow. I have never seen her in love as much as she is now." She looked at me and smiled again "Not even with you"
"Ah, yes," That took me by surprise for some reason "what we had, and still have to a certain extent, was, well, unique." That's all I had. I've never been able to pin down exactly the kind of relationship Ana and I have enjoyed these past few years.
"That's one way of putting it I guess" Erin reached out for the handle to my, our room I should say for now, which we had stopped in front of during our conversation, another crooked smile as she gave me a curious look, and with a gentle push entered the room.
I stood for a few moments, still thinking of Ana. I knew Erin was right. Sighing, as I hate to see any of my girls like this, I knew I had to let things sort themselves out. All I could do was support and love where I could.

When I entered the room, Erin was already getting ready to retire, she had stripped mostly naked, bar for a sheer gossamer shirt and socks and was making the bed. I watched her move as she did this. I don't know if it is because of all the time she spent at sea, but she was like water. Does that make sense? Every movement flowed, even tucking the corner of a sheet in, as if nothing was consciously initiated, she was precisely where and how she should be as if being guided by currents. That sounds ridiculous, but she was mesmerizing. Even the muscles under her skin, flexing in her back, her exposed buttocks,  moved that way, gentle and liquid, but strong enough to knock an unwary man off his feet.

I shook my head and thought I must still have some of that mushroom pasta sauce in my blood. The latest shipment of whatever South East Asian crack cocaine fungus they used must have been a ripper.
Liquid muscle and currents...what the hell....

"I am sorry all this had to happen while you were here simply to visit your sister" I said finally once I purged the hydrology from my brain. "Not exactly a happy time"

"It's fine." Erin sat on the side of the bed and looked up at me "No body expects the Spanish Inquisition"

That, I admit, made me laugh out loud. This woman in front of me, full of surprises.

"Still" I continued "Sure would have been nicer without it"
I hated all that happened, and it was frustrating me the way it was affecting all those around me. Erin was getting under my skin quickly, and I had no desire to cause her any more stress than needed. I needed to change the subject.
"Heard anything from your boss?" Stupid. Good Lord, man, what?
"Trying to get rid of me?" She looked at me wide eyed.
"No, no no no, not at all, I just, ah I am just a bloody fool, I can't think straight about anything right now" I stammered. Could I make this week get any worse? Sure am having a good crack at it "I'm just trying to..."
"It's OK" That smile crept back "I am just yanking your yard arm. You are a bit muddled if you didn't see that coming after all your time with my sister"
I just looked at her as she moved to lie on the bed. The evening sunlight fell across her body, her pale freckled skin glowing. The lines of her figure supple and...oh for fu....don't get back on the water thing.
"Besides, it's winter, no one really sails in winter" She rest her head on her hand, looking at me.
"Erin" I could not take my eyes off her "I am about as poetic as a dog food commercial, and with all this other stuff, well, I'll probably screw this next bit up as well"
She stayed silent, waiting.
"I am glad you are here. I am glad for your sister you are here. I appreciate the way you are just helping without being asked. The way you help Ana, and Milla. The way you helped me with Venice in the studio. She must be very confused about everything." I took a breath. "Even if the other day and  night never happened" Careful, son " You have been amazing to have around. You have been such a big comfort in every way, to us all, but most especially for me."
No response, just those eyes, who's hue seems to change with the light, looking into mine.
 I had no idea, had I said too much, or not enough?
"It's just, this week's hell has been all on me, it is my fault the things I love the most are hurting. But you have not judged, only supported. I don't feel I am deserving of that, but it makes me sure I am even more... I..." Choke. I tried to finish but Erin interrupted.
"You don't have to say anything. I know you better than you realise. All these years, Ana has talked of you, loved you, let me know who you really are and well, you are not really a stranger to me." She smiled again, always that smile. "I help because I care, for Ana.. For you."

I had no reply to that. This woman....

I was felling a bit flushed, and knew sure as hell it was no pasta sauce this time. I tried to think of something appropriate to say

"No one sails in winter?" Well, considering recent form I could have done far worse.
"Nope" She grinned
"So, how long can you stay?"

 She rolled to lie on her back, stretching her arms towards the ceiling, them letting them fall gently to either side of her head. From the muscles of her calves and thighs, over the flat of her stomach to the rise of her breasts, up the curve of her neck and chin, her lips,  to the tip of her nose, framed by the light coming through the window, she was was intoxicating.

Water, just like water.

She turned her head back to me, the gold in her eyes more red now in the Sun's setting light, the blue turned to violet.

"Oh, we have time yet."
