Lovestruck (20 page)

Barbara grabbed Jenny's hand and leaned in close. "If you don't get in this car I will kiss you senseless in front of all Manhattan." She whispered in her ear.

Jenny's eyes grew wide and she looked over at Ted, who stared off into the distance. Barbara squeezed her hand and gave her a light kiss on the cheek.

"Please, Jennifer. We need to talk."

Jenny heard the urgency in Barbara's voice. "Alright."

Barbara smiled, tugging her into the back seat.

Barbara settled in and Jenny sat there trying to decide if she should take her hand back. Oh, what the hell, she thought. She liked the feel of Barbara's hand in hers.

Ted climbed back into the limo and the pulled away from the curb.

"Where are we going?" Jenny asked.

Barbara tilted her head. "Are you hungry? We can go get a bite to eat."

Jenny thought of the last time she went out to eat with Barbara and shook her head. She wasn't up for some place fancy. She also didn't think Barbara would enjoy bar or diner food. "I'm hungry, but I'm not sure where we could go."

"We can always go back to my place if you want? We can order take out."

Jenny decided to test her. "Why don't we go back to my place instead? I have a pizza in the freezer and some vegetables to make salad."

Barbara seemed to mull over the idea. "Is Mike going to be there?"

"I'm not sure. He may be. Will it be a problem?" Jenny asked and waited for Barbara to recommend some place else.

"No, that's fine. I think it's time I meet some of your friends, don't you think?"

Barbara pushed away a piece of hair that had fallen over Jenny's right eye. She kept her hand against Jenny's cheek for a second and smiled at the shocked reaction Jenny couldn't hide.

Jenny climbed her stairs and Barbara followed. Neither said a word as she opened the door. She walked into the kitchen, put her bag down on the kitchen table and took a quick peek into Mike's bedroom. Empty. The living room was deserted as well. She checked her cell phone and saw a text message Mike had left about attending his weekly writing group and that he'd be back later.

As Barbara looked over the various CDs and DVDs arranged on a shelf in the living room, Jenny went into the kitchen and took out the frozen pizza. Her hands were shaking. She pre-set the oven to warm it up and took a deep breath to calm her nerves.

"Would you like something to drink?" she asked, playing good hostess.

"That would be great. I'll have either water or iced tea."

Jenny took out the pitcher of iced tea and grabbed some glasses from the cabinet.

"Must be nice to have a driver at your disposal," she commented as she poured.

Barbara walked back into the kitchen and stood next to Jenny. "Yes, I guess you could say I'm spoiled that way. But I'm not the type of woman who expects her staff to wait around for me. I've sent Ted home for the night. I can always call a taxi or . . . . "

"Or?" Jenny asked as she took a sip of her tea.

"Or call him to come pick me up tomorrow morning." Barbara grinned and took a sip of her drink.

"You have a lot of gumption assuming you'll be spending the night," Jenny said in a huff and sat down. She couldn't stand so close to Barbara without wanting to kiss her.

Barbara sat down at the table. A bing went off and Jenny stood to put the pizza in the oven.

Jenny turned and caught Barbara staring at her ass. She gave the older woman a pointed look, but Barbara simply smiled.

Exasperated, Jenny resumed her seat at the table and wrapped her hands around her glass. "You said you wanted to talk."

"Yes. I hated the way we ended things. Jennifer, I've been so lonely without you these past few days. I'm—well, it's never easy for me to admit when I've done something wrong, but I'm doing that now. I'm sorry. I hated the way I made you feel, as if I betrayed you. I
never
meant to hurt you. And I never expected—" She took a big gulp of her drink.

"You never expected what?" Jenny asked as she looked down at the table.

"I never expected to fall in love with you."

Jenny looked back up. "How can you say you are in love with me when you've only known me for little over a week?"

"My intuition has always been right on. I've never had these deep feelings for another woman before. Even when I had an affair or relationship it has never been this intense. I can't stop thinking about you, wanting to be with you. I want to kiss you, touch your body and hold you against mine. I want to wake up with you in the morning and make you come as the sun rises. I want to be your woman . . . ." Barbara took in a deep inhale. "And have an exclusive relationship."

Jenny blushed. "Wow. I don't know what to say."

Barbara folded her hands on the table. "Don't say anything, kiddo. That's the way it is on my end. I'd hope you'd have some of these same feelings for me."

"I do." Jenny whispered and wiped her wet eyes.

"Oh, Jennifer." Barbara stood, knelt and placed her arms around her.

Jenny began to cry and hugged Barbara back. "I-I think I may love you too. Oh, god, I'm so scared. What if . . . shit, I don't know."

Barbara tilted Jenny's chin up and looked her straight in the eye. "Kid, I'm scared also. In the past, I've always kept my . . . dating situation . . . under wraps. My father disapproved of my lifestyle and because of our differences, we would only speak if it was business related. He treated me as an employee rather than as a daughter. We never reconciled when he died. He went to the grave ashamed his daughter was a lesbian. But I no longer want to hide. I want to be out in the open and I want to show everyone how much you mean to me."

Jenny let out a watery laugh. "I want that too, but . . . ."

"But what, dearest?" Barbara played with Jenny's hair.

"I'm not sure if I can give you what you need. I can hardly keep my life together as it is. I don't want you to think I'm with you because of your money or to keep my job."

Barbara took Jenny's face in her hands. "Jennifer, I don't think that. Do you know you're the reason the hotel's been saved? I started thinking about all your ideas—the ones you told me about over breakfast that morning—on ways we could improve and modernize, and I mentioned them to Kyle. You changed his mind. So many people should be thanking
you
, not me." Barbara placed her forehead against Jenny's. "Forgive me." Barbara whispered.

"There's nothing to forgive." Jenny kissed Barbara's cheek, chin and then her lips.

Barbara moaned and returned the kiss as if Jenny was the air and Barbara needed her to survive. She rose and straddled Jenny's lap, placed a palm against Jenny's neck. "I can feel your pulse racing. Why don't we wait on dinner for awhile? I've never seen your bedroom and would love a tour." She leaned down for another soul-shattering kiss.

When they finally came up for air, Jenny nodded. "I would love to give you a tour of my bedroom. Come on."

Barbara stood, and Jenny got to her feet. She turned off the oven, grabbed Barbara by the hand and led her down the hall

Barbara stepped into Jennifer's bedroom and couldn't help but smile at the cheerful décor. Fun. That's how she'd describe Jennifer's taste. Right down to the well-loved teddy bear propped up on a pillow on the bed. This is why she loved Jennifer . . .

she added a whole other dimension to Barbara's otherwise formal, somewhat stuffy life.

Jennifer turned and closed the door. Before she could turn back, Barbara wrapped her arms around her and they rocked back and forth.

"I want to make love to you," Barbara whispered in Jenny's ear.

Jennifer leaned against Barbara, cradling Barbara's hands against her stomach. "I would love nothing more." Jennifer turned her head for a kiss.

They sucked on each other's tongues. Barbara unbuttoned Jennifer's shirt and pulled it down, and then placed her hands under Jennifer's bra to cup her breasts.

Jennifer moaned and tilted back. Barbara rubbed her fingers over Jennifer's hard, rosy nipples.

They stood there, enthralled with each other's mouths, until Jennifer broke away.

Barbara made a grab for her, but Jennifer moved out of reach.

"Sit on the bed," Jennifer ordered.

Barbara covered a laugh, but did what her lover wanted. She sat on the edge of the bed and watched as Jennifer turned on her stereo and put on a CD. Soon the sounds of trickling water echoed in the room.

"This is more than fine. I don't need music or anything else to get me in the mood. All I need is you," Barbara said, but Jennifer pressed her fingers over her mouth to silence her. Barbara placed her hands over Jennifer's bra-covered breasts and rubbed her thumbs across her nipples.

Jennifer watched Barbara's hands and pulled her fingers through her hair. She knelt, and Barbara spread her legs, welcoming Jennifer between them. Jennifer placed her lips against the pulse at the base of Barbara's throat and pushed her back on the bed.

Barbara went willingly, even though she wanted to roll Jennifer underneath her and suckle those hard, cherry colored nipples she loved so much.

But from the hungry look in Jennifer's eyes, she needed to take control. There would be many more times in the future when Barbara would have the upper hand.

Barbara smiled. They
would
have a future together. Filled with one delightfully erotic encounter after another.

"You know you need to be punished for all the grief you caused me over the past few days. I was mad and frustrated." Jennifer's eyes sparkled and she gave Barbara a saucy grin.

"Punished? How?" Barbara whispered. A shudder traveled through her body.

"You'll see. Well, you'll feel it, that's for sure." Jennifer gave Barbara a hard kiss and bit down on her lip.

The bite stung. Before Barbara could retaliate in kind, Jennifer moved away and knelt back down between Barbara's outstretched legs. Barbara stared up at the ceiling and sighed as Jennifer pulled off her stockings and moved her hands up her legs and under her skirt.

Jennifer's mouth rubbed along the inside of Barbara's leg, up near her thigh. She then placed Barbara's left leg over her shoulder and pulled off her thong. Barbara lifted her hips and cool air met her pussy. She closed her eyes when Jennifer's nose rubbed against the outside of her cunt.

"You are so wet. I just want to lap you up." Jennifer muttered against her mound.

Her tongue snaked along Barbara's slit.

"Oh, god." Barbara jerked beneath the feather-light touch.

"Now you'll see how well I've improved. I'm going to use my mouth to make you come . . . if I decide to
let
you come, that is."

Jennifer lowered her head, French kissing Barbara's pussy, using her tongue in ways Barbara had never felt. She bit down on her hand and stifled a scream.

Jennifer's mouth and tongue consumed Barbara's nether lips and clit. Barbara wanted to come, but Jennifer backed off and gave little licks and nips, using her mouth and teeth to bring Barbara to the edge, over and over again. Barbara grabbed onto Jennifer's hair and pulled hard.

Jennifer lifted her head and inserted two of fingers into Barbara's cunt. She held Barbara's gaze while she finger-fucked her. Barbara started to quiver, but Jennifer backed off, leaving Barbara hanging on the edge once more.

Frustrated, longing for release, Barbara wrapped her legs around Jennifer's head.

Jennifer lapped at Barbara's pussy, lifting Barbara's ass to lick in a line, up and down, twirling her tongue around her clit with every stroke.

"
Oh
god!" Barbara let out a loud yell as an intense orgasm crashed over her and she came, gushing hot juices that Jennifer slurped up like a woman starved.

As Barbara came back down to earth, Jennifer undressed and climbed up next to her.

Before Jennifer could snuggle, Barbara turned and climbed on top of her. As Barbara straddled her, she took off her shirt and bra. Jennifer smiled and watched Barbara as she unzipped her skirt and pulled it up over her torso and off her head. She snarled and grinded her mound over Jennifer's damp one.

Jennifer opened her mouth and Barbara latched onto hers and sucked on her tongue.

They kissed until their lips were swollen and sore. Barbara released Jennifer's mouth and moved down, nibbling Jennifer's chin, neck and breasts. She sat up, move her hips, and their mounds rubbed with delicious friction across one another.

Jennifer tossed her head from side to side and moaned. Barbara reached between them and used three of her fingers to massage Jennifer's clit. Jennifer shuddered and came hard, her eyes rolling back in her head.

As Jennifer came down from her orgasm, Barbara grabbed her head, looked her in the eyes and said, "I love you." She placed her lips against Jennifer's and kissed her deeply.

Jennifer held Barbara to her. Their lips molded together and they inhaled each other's breath.

"I'm beyond in love . . . . I'm think I've been love struck," Jennifer said against Barbara's mouth.

Both women laughed as they rolled to the side to cuddle. Lost in a Jennifer's eyes, Barbara held her until their heartbeats returned to normal.

Jenny awoke to the sounds of a garbage truck outside her window and moaned, snuggling deeper under her covers and the arm that had been thrown around her neck.

She blinked and peeked at her alarm clock. A little after seven. She closed her eyes, wanting to doze a little more before her first morning class, when the arm lying on top of her moved down to her hip. Jenny gasped as a leg moved in between hers.

Barbara rubbed her nose against the back of Jenny's neck. Jenny moved in closer and sighed her delight. How long had she waited for this moment, when she could wake and feel Barbara's warm body spooning against her?

"What time is it?" Barbara asked in a horse whisper.

Jenny turned and wrapped her arms around Barbara, caressed her back in long, gentle strokes.

"Hmm." Barbara smiled and leaned in for a kiss.
