Megan grinned as the door opened and she gave a small curtsy. "See, here I am, completely in one piece and feeling much better," she laughed as she moved forward to hug her friend. "I can't stay too long though, Oz is still busy but he said he'd be done about 9."

Drew smiled at the sight of his friend on the other side of the door. "Feeling well enough to curtsy!" he said as they hugged. "Of course, of course, I wouldn't want to keep you from your Dom for too long." He pulled back and stepped inside, holding the door open for her. "Come on in! Cade had dinner with a friend this evening, so it's just us. Shall I bring a bottle into the living room for us?"

Megan wandered through to the living room, nodding at the news that Cade was out. "I'm glad I'm here to distract you for the evening then because I would hate you to spend all evening moping!" Giggling at her own joke she nodded eagerly, "I wouldn't say no if you feel like opening some wine but only if you are joining me." She took a seat on the couch and smiled over as he came in, "So how are you finding sharing your space?"

Drew chuckled. "I wouldn't have been moping," he argued, though really, she was more right than he was willing to admit to either of them. He followed her into the living room and continued through to the kitchen, where he pulled out one of his favorite whites that he'd put in to chill earlier that day. He grabbed two glasses and brought them all out, setting them on the coffee table as he joined her on the couch. "It's certainly challenging in some respects, but it's mostly wonderful having him so close. Is that how you felt, moving in with Lord Montague?" he asked as he poured them each an overly full glass.

Megan just shook her head with amusement at his protest, she knew only too well how it felt when you got so used to having someone else around and they weren't there, even for a short time. She took her glass with a thanks and considered his question. "It was different because I was the one moving in with him and to be honest I never really actively moved in. He told me to stay with him after Adriana's murder and I never left. I do understand what you mean though, we all get set in our ways and it can feel a bit like walking on egg shells trying to work out how far you can push things." Megan lifted her glass with a grin, "To relationships, their challenges and ultimate wonderfulness!"

Drew hummed as he settled back on the couch, one leg bent up on it so that he could face her more easily. "That's fair," he said. "I'm sure it's a much different dynamic to be the submissive moving in with your Dominant rather than the Dominant moving in with his submissive. Luckily, this place is more than large enough for both of us to get some alone time if needed--though I'm sure your new place is as well. I'm quite enjoying making these new routines together, as a matter of fact." He lifted his glass and tapped it lightly into hers. "And to finding that special someone, no matter how long it took."

Megan tapped her glass to his before taking a long drink and closing her eyes as the cool liquid trickled down her throat. "You are very right....and just think a year ago if someone had told us we would both be with Montague Dominants we would have told them they were crazy. Isn't it funny how things change?"

Drew sipped at his wine and sighed as he felt himself really start to relax. He leaned back into the corner of the sofa and let his hand drop into his lap, still holding his wine glass for easy access. "God, and not just Montague Dominants. You with Lord Osborne Montague himself! I think we'd have laughed them out of the building. Honestly, the fact that I am nearing the point of a claim is shocking enough for me in itself. The who of it is just icing on the cake."

Megan laughed loudly in agreement. "Tell me about it. The idea of actually finding anyone a year ago seemed shocking. I mean there have been one or two Dominants that I've wondered about but nobody ever seemed willing to actually tie themselves to me and then Oz happened." She took another long drink and giggled, "You're madly in love and I'm now Lady Montague, it's as if the world has gone crazy!"

Drew took a big swig of his wine, but attempted to do it subtly, so that it wasn't obvious how much he was drinking at once. Lady Montague, indeed. "And you really are okay with your Dominant?" he asked. "Or, rather, more than okay--happy, even? You know how much I worry about you, my dear. He's hardly the partner I would have chosen for you, but if you're happy, then I have no reason to complain."

Megan shook her head with a laugh, "I know you are still not keen on him but I promise you I am deliriously happy. Things have been rocky but you know, maybe we got a lot of the negative stuff out near the start rather than space it across the first few years. I can't tell you we have had three months of total bliss because you know it's not true but I love him and I can't bear the thought of my life without him now. " She took another drink and reached forward to grab the bottle and top up both their glasses. "I wouldn't have picked him from a line up for me either but maybe that's what makes it so good. He challenges me, he knows what I like and he just gives it to me. I've realised I can't stand idle talk or someone checking with me every two seconds. Oz doesn't do that. It's like he trusts me enough to safeword if I need to and beyond that he just takes control. He doesn't say anything a lot of the time, he just moves me or touches me or marks me without warning but I promise I have never felt either safer or more alive." Megan looked up with a giggle, "Sorry that was probably more than you were looking for!"

Drew continued drinking while Megan spoke. It was more detail than he would have liked when it came to Osborne Montague, but he and Meg had shared more than their fair share of details with one another over the years. He held his glass out for her to fill before bringing it back near his lap again. "You truly do sound happy with him, and that is all that matters. If you're happy, I'm happy, and I'm of course also happy to hear whatever details you feel like sharing--particularly the juiciest ones. Perhaps I've been too quick in my judgment of your Dominant's deficiencies."

Megan laughed loudly at his comment, considering that perhaps the alcohol was going straight to her head but she didn't care. She hadn't been able to talk like this with Drew for so long and she was going to make the most of it. "I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours," she teased with raised brows. "I remember Cade telling me he wasn't into such a physical relationship as Oz clearly is but you can't tell me you two aren't getting naughty. Those cheeks are far too rosy to just be kneeling by his feet!"

Drew took another sip from his drink, enjoying the sound of his friend's laughter immensely. It had been far too long since they'd relaxed together like this. "Which cheeks are you referring to?" he asked, keeping his facial expression neutral as long as he could before he couldn't hold back his laughter any longer. "There is definitely sex involved--quite good sex, mind you--but god, the strength in that man's arms! I swear, I've gone entire weeks without sitting down once in the office."

Megan 's eyes widened and she nearly choked on her wine at the question of which cheeks. "Drew Capulet!" She exclaimed before dissolving into giggles again. "Who needs to sit down?" she asked with a laugh. "My ass is never free from bruises these days and I love it. It rather resembles a rainbow most of the time." Tipping her head to the side she pouted, "Should I worry that the sex is only quite good? Or do I assume you are just being modest?"

Drew couldn't help but laugh at the way Megan was laughing at his commentary. "What?" he asked, and he whistled a bit to emphasize his complete innocence. "I trust he's taking care of those bruises for you, though? You know I'm always happy to take a look if there's anything that concerns you." He paused, made a face, and cleared his throat. "Though I do apologize. I did just say a minute ago that I would trust your judgment regarding your claim. As for the sex... I am attempting to protect Master Cade's privacy."

Megan rolled her eyes and nodded at him as he realised what he was saying. "I can assure you my ass is well taken care of...and I will assume the same for yours. I could ask Oz to give Cade some tips if you feel it's necessary." She was laughing at the attempt to protect privacy, "We are three quarters of the way through a bottle of wine and have known each other far too long for modesty and privacy. But we are also both doctors so very skilled in confidentiality outside of this room."

Drew lifted a hand to his chest in a mock gesture of having taken offense to her offer. "Believe me when I say that Master Cade is quite capable of taking care of my ass," he said with a chuckle, "in every sense." He grinned cheekily at her before sipping at his wine once more. "Let's just say I have absolutely no complaints about my sex life with Cade--except, perhaps, for the fact that it took us so damned long to finally get to that point in our relationship."

Megan raised her glass in mock cheers at his revelation, "I'm delighted to hear that." She continued to drink as he spoke and her smile fell a little before she began to giggle. "We really are at either end of the spectrum aren't we?" she chuckled. "I didn't exactly wait with Oz and you took forever to get busy. I hope you were more careful than I was." Her first night with Oz was no secret to Drew, nor the fact they hadn't used precautions, since it was Drew who had sorted her out after. "So does this mean good things are indeed worth waiting for?" she teased.

Drew returned her toast, chuckling at her commentary. "We're quite careful, believe me," he said before draining the rest of his glass. He grabbed the bottle and refilled himself before holding it out to top off Meg's glass as well. "You know I'm not one to sleep around quite so much, though I did tell you about the few times it happened back before Christmas. With Cade, though... if it had been up to me, our sexual relations would have begun back when we met in August. He was, however, worth the wait. Very, very much so."

Megan held out her glass for Drew to top up before looking indignantly at his comment. "Hey I didn't sleep around.....well not that much. And in my defence most times I knew there was a good chance of a scene or sex before I left my house, Oz took me by surprise. In fact now that I think about it each time I saw him and expected something he left me wanting and then when I either hadn't expected to see him or it was supposed to be something more relaxed it turned into more. God that man is really confusing!" She laughed raucously at her own revelation before pulling herself together again, "I'm so happy for you Drew, honestly I am. You deserve good things, all the good things. You are such a lovely person." Drew shook his head quickly when he heard her protest, wanting to correct her as soon as he could. "Oh, no, no, I never said you slept around! Not that there would be even the slightest thing wrong with it if you did. I'm just saying that I'm not typically that kind of person, but that I would have been quite content starting a sexual relationship with Master Cade far before we did." He laughed as well, both at himself and at the way Megan was so amused by what she seemed to have worked out while speaking to him. "You are an incredibly lovely person yourself," he said. "I'm glad Lord Montague treats you right. And that he... surprises you. That's a much better word than confuses. You deserve nothing but the best."

Megan found herself giggling again as Drew turned the comments back on her. "He does treat me right - for me. And yes, surprises is probably better and he does surprise me frequently. You should have seen the gorgeous earrings he got me for Rosaline and Tru's ceremony. For no reason other than he's really a cuddly teddy bear in disguise." Megan leaned forward to fill up her glass only to discover the bottle was empty, "Oh no....there's more wine right?"

Drew gave Megan a capital-L Look. "Of course there's more wine," he said as he got to his feet, swaying just slightly before regaining his balance. "Just give me a moment." He went to his wine collection and grabbed a bottle at random before bringing it back. The corkscrew was still on the table and he quickly opened the bottle and poured them each a glass, starting with Megan. "I can't believe I didn't notice your new earrings! Surely you have a photo on your phone?"

Megan rolled her eyes, not entirely sure if he seriously wanted to see a picture of her earrings or not. She pulled out her phone and scrolled through till she found one, "Here you go. They looked amazing because I had my hair up but they would have been just as stunning if it had been down." Megan took a long drink of her wine, savouring the taste for just a moment. "I take it Cade approves of your extensive wine collection. Imagine if you had a Dominant who didn't like you to drink - wouldn't that be awful!"

Drew truly did want to see the earrings--fashion was something he enjoyed on occasion, and these earrings clearly made her happy. He leaned over so that he could see the photo she was showing him. "I think that says more about how stunning you are than about the earrings, but they are quite lovely," he said with a smile as he leaned back into the corner of the couch again. "It would have been a deal-breaker if Master Cade wanted me to get rid of the wine collection. My wine and I are a package deal!"
