Tangled Hearts

by Laurie Ames

  “I’ll be right out!” she said into the speaker. She grabbed her purse and dress coat and headed outside.

  Juanita was waiting for her at the door. She was wearing a long black faux fur coat and a lovely leopard print hat and gloves set. She looked absolutely stunning. Her face was made up like a model from Ebony magazine and her hair was layered in dark shiny waves, hanging freely around her shoulders. Allison couldn’t see the dress that she was wearing, but her high-heeled black stilettos looked gorgeous on her feet.

  Allison’s face lit up at the sight of Juanita standing, attractive and glowing on her doorstep. She greeted her with a passionate hug, holding her tightly and inhaling the aroma of her fruity-scented perfume spray. It was hard for her to let her go, after having gone so long without seeing her.

  “You look amazing!” Allison told Juanita with an enthralled smile.

  “So do you!” Juanita replied, standing back to get a good look. The two women climbed into Juanita’s silver SUV and headed downtown.

  Allison couldn’t believe how extravagant the restaurant looked. It was called Bello Italiano and was not the kind of place you get a table on impulse. It was breathtakingly beautiful. There were golden statues in every corner, crystal chandeliers on the ceiling, and extraordinary paintings on every wall. There were flowers on each table, and delicate live piano music played in the background. She looked around at the busy tables. An old couple were eating side by side, one glass of wine each, studiously bent over their meals. A group of young professional women were giggling loudly as a stern woman dining alone nearby looked on and frowned. Businessmen in their grey suits were lighting up cigars. Wealthy American tourists were trying to decipher the menu. The noise level was high. The smoke level, too. But it didn’t bother her, this was an energizing place.

  The tuxedo-clad host escorted them to their seats and offered them the specials. Allison opened the menu, hoping she’d be able to pronounce the names of the dishes.

  “Wow! This place is incredible!” Allison said to Juanita, as she looked around impressed.

  “Well, you deserve it, Alli,” Juanita replied with an adoring smile. “It’s not every day I get to thank a wonderful beautiful woman for saving my life. That’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and I wanted to make it count.” She reached across the table and placed her hand on top of Allison’s.

  Allison smiled, feeling her cheeks becoming rosier as she blushed.

  They enjoyed a wonderfully intimate dinner together, and the passion and attraction for each other grew. Allison wanted to ask Juanita more about the hit and run accident and suspicions about Elaine, but she didn’t want to ruin their happy flirtatious mood. ‘Those things can wait until later’ she thought silently as she become engulfed Juanita’s company.

  After their lavish dinner, the valet brought Juanita’s SUV around to the front of the restaurant.

  “Sooo, I have something really special for you, but I left it back at my place. Do you mind if we stop there and get it?” Juanita asked as they turned onto the main road. Allison was quite aware that Juanita wanted to get her back to her place, and she was more than willing to take the bait.

  “Sure, although that amazing dinner was more than thank-you enough,” Allison replied with a sincere smile.

  Juanita reached over and placed a soft hand on Allison’s right thigh. Allison placed her own hand on hers and stroked it gently, sensuously. Both women knew what was on each other’s mind as they drove toward Juanita’s house in comfortable silence, with the radio playing soft, smooth R&B music.

  When they pulled into Juanita’s driveway, she turned the engine off, but left the music playing. She turned to face Allison and smiled seductively at her.

  “Thank you, so much for a wonderful dinner—the most incredible dinner I have ever had, actually,” Allison told her softly, looking deep into Juanita’s alluring hazel eyes.

  “Stop thanking me, Alli,” Juanita said, in playfully stern voice. “The second part of your thank-you present is inside. I can’t wait to give it to you.”

  She raised her eyebrows as her grin widened, then she opened the driver’s side door and got out. Allison followed her lead and they headed into Juanita’s quaint little ranch style home.

  Once inside, Allison looked around Juanita’s off-white carpeted living room. The paint on the wall was a peach color and the furnishings consisted of a grey leather sectional sofa and a matching grey glass-topped coffee table. Against the wall on the far end of the room was a 60-inch plasma TV on a grey television stand.

  “You have a lovely home,” Allison stated, as Juanita took her coat and hung it up in the front closet, next to her own.

  “Thanks,” Juanita replied. “It was my mother’s. She gave it to me when she moved away for her job promotion. They supplied her with an apartment and a company vehicle when she accepted the position, so, she signed this house over to me. Make yourself at home. I’ll get us some drinks, and, of course, grab your gift.” She winked at Allison as she left the room, switching her hips and bountiful ass in her tight black dress, as Allison gazed at her from behind.

  Allison sat down on the leather sofa and looked around the room as she awaited Juanita’s return. Juanita had pictures and paintings on every wall. One particular photo caught her eye. It was a picture of Juanita and Elaine at the grand opening of Juanita’s clothing store. As she observed the photo more closely, something in the background caught her eye. It was a blackish-colored car with darkly tinted windows parked in the background of the photo.

  Juanita returned to the living room with a tray of champagne and two wine glasses. Also, on the tray was a small silver box with a pretty silver ribbon tied around it. Allison’s eyes lit up when Juanita set the tray down on the coffee table.

  “Wow,” was all Allison could muster up to say as her eyes sparkled with excitement. She was staring at the pretty little silver box as Juanita filled both wine glasses with champagne. She picked up a remote control and pressed a button, and the lights went low, and the room filled with smooth, slow R&B music.

  “I wanted tonight to be special,” Juanita said in a soft, sultry voice. She handed Allison a drink as she sat down beside her on the leather sofa.

  “Thanks,” Allison said as she accepted the glass and tried hard not to blush. Juanita held her glass up toward Allison and grinned.

  “What shall we cheer to?” she asked, looking fondly into Allison’s deep green eyes.

  “Umm, let us toast to a new beginning,” Allison suggested. They clinked their glasses together and took a long sip of champagne.

  “And now for the best part.” Juanita picked the box up from the tray and held it in her hand. “This is for you,” she said happily and placed the box in Allison’s hand. Allison undid the bow and opened the small box. Inside was a beautiful silver necklace with the word: MY ANGEL written in large, fancy cursive letters.

  “Oh, my God!” Allison gasped in awe at the lovely necklace as she held it up in front of her face. “It’s beautiful!” Juanita looked at her with adoration in her eyes.

  “It’s because you are a nurse, a healer and my Angel. You like it?” Juanita asked, already able to tell that she did, of course.

  “Like it? I absolutely LOVE it, Juanita!” Allison exclaimed excitedly. Juanita smiled proudly as she helped Allison put it around her neck. They went over to a mirror hanging on Juanita’s living room wall so that Allison could look at it.

  “It looks so beautiful on you, Alli,” Juanita said softly, admiring her from behind.

  “Just like you,” Allison replied, her voice barely above a whisper. She turned around to face Juanita and at that moment, all the passionate juices that had been building up within her came flowing to the surface. With their eyes closed, their faces drifted closer, until their noses rubbed together.

  Allison took Juanita’s delicate, sweet face into her hands and pressed her shimmery glossed lips against hers. Juanita closed her eyes and moaned softly, surrendering to
Allison’s kiss. Allison slid her tongue between Juanita’s luscious, slightly parted lips and explored the sweet taste of her mouth. Allison’s right hand found one of Juanita’s soft firm breasts and squeezed gently, causing her to let out another moan of passion. Juanita’s soft sounds of enjoyment turned Allison on to no end. She could feel herself becoming moist with arousal between her own thighs.

  “I want you,” Allison murmured, her words muffled by Juanita’s soft lips. Juanita briefly broke away from their embrace and looked at Allison with eyes like hazel pools of fierce desire.

  “Then, take me,” Juanita replied, her eyes never leaving Allison’s. She unzipped her tight black dress and let it fall carelessly to the floor. Allison’s eyes took in her beautiful brown frame, from her shiny black stiletto heels all the way up to her long wavy black hair. She didn’t have to be told twice.

  Allison took Juanita into her arms and they embraced passionately, as they made their way back into Juanita’s bedroom. Juanita laid down on her lavender comforter as Allison slipped out of her tight cocktail dress. She climbed onto the bed and slid her thin body in between Juanita’s parted legs. The two women continued to undress one another, with Juanita unhooking Allison’s strapless silk bra and Allison removing Juanita’s thin satin one. They then kissed harder, their breasts flattening together, their hard nipples digging into each other's hot flesh. Allison’s mouth soon found Juanita’s breasts. She licked and sucked hungrily on her taut nipples, burying her face in Juanita’s warm, soft bosom. Juanita threw her head back and hissed with pleasure while running her fingers through Allison’s thick blonde hair.

  Allison trailed kisses down Juanita’s belly until she reached the warm moistness of her womanhood. She could feel the heat of arousal emanating from beneath the thin fabric of Juanita’s satin panties. She pulled her panties down gently, trailing kisses along Juanita’s thigh and calf as she did so, until they slid over her feet and onto the bed.

  Allison massaged Juanita’s clit with her fingertips, causing Juanita to jerk her hips upward and forward against Allison’s intimate touch. Juanita moaned and sighed, writhing with delight.

  “Ohhh, Alli,” she mumbled between heavy breaths. She reached and pulled down on Allison’s golden hair as Allison’s lips made contact on Juanita’s moist, swollen clit. Her tongue flicked at the engorged dark and sensual mound. She was delighted with the neatly shaved, almost hairless pussy and decided she would enthusiastically praise her with a deep probing tongue. Allison slid her hands around to cup Juanita's writhing ass, squeezing it tight and pulling her closer. Juanita reacted by humping faster and faster, soon building to a hypnotic rhythm that was almost heavenly. Juanita clawed at her own nipples, twisting and pulling them, her eyes shut tightly, as she threw her head back, her orgasm starting to shatter from her body.

  "Please!" she cried. "Please, don't stop, Ali!"

  Juanita's words spurred Allison on, and she sped up her actions, reaching up simultaneously to rub her fingers against Juanita's throbbing clit. The combined stimulus caused her to wail with pleasure. Her body began to spasm as her orgasm washed over her. Allison brought Juanita to a powerful, intense climax, causing Juanita’s legs to shake uncontrollably as her hips pressed against Allison’s face.

  Finally spent, Juanita let go of her thighs, and her legs fell to the bed on either side of Allison. Allison sat up to watch Juanita lay exhausted on the ruffled sheets, her chest heaving. She was proud of her efforts as she smiled up at Juanita, admiring her passionate “orgasmic face.”

  Juanita was only more than happy to return the intimate favor to Allison. She kissed her ear lobe first, softly, with just the right hint of passion, then worked her way down her neck to her collar bone before coming right back to the breasts. She began biting softly around her warm and sensuous tits. She noticed that Allison had incredibly sensitive nipples and slowly started sucking on each one. She could tell Allison really liked this, so she spent a long time on her chest, just licking, teasing and sucking. Meanwhile her hand slid down to Allison’s pussy and gently began massaging it. She writhed in pleasure and her hips began gyrating up and down in unison with her hand. Juanita drew herself down along Allison’s belly until she reached the throbbing pussy that awaited her. Juanita stopped to pause and look at the beautiful tuft of blond hair right above her pussy.

  “I can’t believe that is going to be mine…” cooed Juanita.

  Allison couldn’t handle the slight pause and quickly spoke out, “Lick it honey, I’m really horny right now.” Allison put her hand on the back of Juanita’s head and forced her face right between her vaginal area.

  Juanita needed no encouragement and extended her tongue and began kissing and lightly sucking her vagina. Allison moaned softly as they were making love.

  By now, Allison’s creamy white pussy was completely wet. Juanita was feeling naughty and started teasing her just enough to bring her to the brink, then stopping again in a slow torturous fashion. Her cunt was feeling every sensation that a woman could possibly feel. She started screaming “Juanita, don’t stop, my God that feels so good, suck it honey.” Over and over Juanita teased her by not letting her come until Allison could no longer turn back. Allison finally succumbed and let herself go. She was having one orgasm after another as she brought her thrusting pelvis to an unstoppable passionate climax.

  Suddenly, she was spent, her whole body collapsed on the bed as she tried to catch her breath. Juanita lay next to her and they held each other closely, listening to the satisfied sounds of the beating of their hearts. It was sizzling sex. They exchanged soft kisses as they basked in the glow of their sexual encounter.

  “Only another woman knows how to make love like this,” said Allison.

  “It’s true, this is wonderful, I never felt so loved like this before, and you’re so beautiful,” responded Juanita.

  They both realized this would be a night to remember forever. Eventually they drifted into a deep satisfied sleep, wrapped in each other’s arms.

  Chapter 7: The Morning After

  ________________________

  The next morning, Allison awoke to the smell of a hot breakfast cooking in the kitchen. Juanita entered the bedroom in a scarlet silk robe and served Allison breakfast in bed with eggs, toast and turkey bacon. Allison’s face lit up in delighted surprise and she thanked Juanita for her thoughtfulness.

  “I wanted to ask you, did Officer Holt ever update you on whether or not they were able to find out the license plate number, for that speeding car?” Allison asked after the two of them had enjoyed a pleasant breakfast together.

  Juanita looked just a tad bit uneasy when Allison brought up the subject.

  “Um, yes, actually. A specialist they used to analyse the traffic photo was finally able to figure it out. They ran a trace on the plate number and the car came back registered to a man named Gussman or Guston or something like that. It wasn’t a name I recognized,” Juanita replied.

  “You know, there’s a photo in your living room, one from the grand opening of your store, that has a vehicle in the background that greatly resembles the car that hit you,” Allison asserted, sensing concern in Juanita’s eyes.

  “Really?” Juanita replied. “I guess because it was so dark, I really didn’t get a good look at it. I don’t know what I would have done if you had not been there.” Juanita leaned in and kissed Allison on the cheek.

  “I’m really glad that I was there, too,” Allison said sweetly, placing her hand on Juanita’s face, lovingly. “But I really want to find out who did this to you, Juanita. I believe they were purposely trying to hurt you—maybe even kill you, and I want them brought to justice.” Allison’s tone was adamant.

  Juanita looked into Allison’s eyes and smiled, reassuringly.

  “Alli, I’ve taken this very seriously. I even hired security to ensure that nothing like this ever happens again.”

  “I know, but, if there really is someone out to get you, they might try again—in some other
way, and that’s what worries me,” Allison replied.

  Now that Juanita was almost fully recovered from her accident, she decided to return to work. Today was going to be her first day back at the store. Allison had the day off from work and decided this would be an excellent opportunity to accompany her. The store manager had told Allison that the employees were planning a small welcome back surprise party for Juanita, and Allison wanted to be there, but wanted to go home first, so she could shower and change.

  Juanita dropped her off at her apartment and gave her a long, passionate good-bye kiss. “Call me when you’re about to head down to the store and I will meet you there,” Alli reminded Juanita, before she exited her SUV. She wanted to walk in with Juanita so she could see the expression on Juanita’s face when the employees surprise her.
