Vicki knew exactly what Beth was talking about.  Whether it had been the increased hassles of the office or the efficiency of Dr. Thornton's sessions, Vicki herself had grown more comfortable in her own home.  Less of a place to set down her keys and electronics before going straight to bed, she had found herself making excuses to linger at home in the morning, stay up a little later with George to simply lounge around.  Though they had lived there for years, for perhaps the first time, she was beginning to feel truly at home.<br/><br/>She leaned back on the couch, thoughtlessly extending her arm along its back behind Fredrick.  With legs crossed and a smile, Vicki was amused at Beth and Fredrick's banter, amused and pleased that both would so openly admire her lips.  The idea of sharing lipstick with old Freddie and Beth brought a cock to her eyebrow and a decidedly wicked smirk to her lips.  As a student, she'd never considered dating or sleeping with Freddie, having enjoyed his friendship too much to complicate things.  When she started dating George, the education major had proved as wild in bed as his hair implied, and she felt no urge to seek out additional lovers once they're coupling was secure.  Though she didn't exactly consider herself insatiable, Vicki did secretly adore being checked out, complimented, and admired by others.<br/><br/>When George emerged bearing glasses of red wine, Vicki leaned forward decisively to accept, making her motions as graceful and fluid as she felt.  "Cheers!" she announced with him before sipping away at least a quarter of her drink.  Usually she was rather temperate with company, but, seeing how casual and friendly everyone was, Vicki felt no reason not to indulge.<br/><br/>She laughed heartily at George called Fredrick out on ogling her.  "Oh, I think Fredrick's quite capable of multitasking.  Ogle all you like!" she announced, sitting straight and forward as to give him a better view of her cleavage.  "But, yes, Beth, I do think you'll be very interested in what my Drop Dead Fred here has to say."
