“I’ll go put one on.” Lainey gasped when Eve squeezed her breast, pinching the hardened peak. “Now who’s arousing whom?” She backed away reluctantly. “Tell the boys I’ll be right down?”
Eve noticed the concern in Lainey’s eyes. It was the last thing she had ever wanted to see. Especially from someone she was so intimate with. If she wanted to continue this relationship with Lainey, she would have to be more careful in the future.
Eve pushed open the front door with her hip, her arms full of a sleeping five year old. Lainey followed her inside, holding Kevin who was fast asleep as well. The boys were completely exhausted after their full day at Disney. It had been one of the most wonderful days, not only for Darren and Kevin, but for Eve as well. She felt like a kid herself, or perhaps the kid she was never permitted to be. They rode such rides as Space Mountain and Test Track, and even tested their fear level by braving The Tower of Terror. But it was just being with Lainey and the boys that had given her the biggest thrill.
Lainey had been overjoyed watching her sons laugh and run around, looking at everything in absolute awe. Everything was so new to them, and larger than life. And, seeing Eve with them, laughing and playing or holding the boys hands, had filled Lainey’s heart with so much happiness that it stunned her. They rode as many rides as they possibly could, and as promised, Eve had made some calls with the result that Darren and Kevin got to have lunch with their favorite characters, including Mickey, Donald and Goofy. They went to every one of the parks, trying not to miss anything, and stayed until the last firework had exploded. Too tired to even stand during the parade, they had had to sit on Eve’s and Lainey’s shoulders and they were asleep before they even got to the car.
Taking the sleeping boys up to their room, Eve and Lainey tucked them in and kissed them. Seeing Eve be so tender and generous with the boys deepened her longing for the woman. The power of it staggered her.
After closing the door to the boys’ room, Lainey grabbed Eve’s hand and walked quickly to Eve’s bedroom. Once the lock was turned, she pounced on Eve, pushing her back against the door, devouring her mouth with a hunger that neither of them had expected while she unzipped her shirt and peeled it off.
“God, I want you so much.” Lainey’s voice was hoarse with need, her eyes darkened with desire. She had been patient all day but now they were alone, and the yearning erupted in her, kindling the heat between Eve’s thighs, hot and lusty.
“Take me,” Eve whispered. “Now!”
Lainey’s breath hitched as she slipped a hand inside Eve’s shorts and cupped her, feeling the heat and wetness.
“Go inside.” Eve placed her hand over Lainey’s and pressed. Her eyes rolled back when Lainey slipped inside her. She fumbled with the button on Lainey’s shorts, swearing when her fingers couldn’t perform the simple task of unfastening a button.
Lainey’s laugh was hoarse. “Hurry!”
“I’m trying. Mmm, Lainey. Don’t stop.” Finally, she got the shorts unbuttoned. “Did you have to wear such complicated clothes?”
“Sorry,” Lainey giggled. “I’ll go naked next time.”
“No you won’t, because then I’d have to kick everyone’s ass for looking at you. Ahh, there,” she breathed, yanking Lainey’s shorts down, cupping her hand between Lainey’s naked thighs, sighing when at long last she touched Lainey’s sweet wetness.
Together they stumbled to the floor, kissing, touching, nipping at each other and laughing.
“You feel so good.” Lainey’s breathing was fast and rough as she tried to match Eve’s rhythm.
“So do you.” Eve could feel herself get closer to the peak, felt Lainey tighten around her fingers like a vise. “Now, baby,” she whispered roughly, driving Lainey up and over the first peak.
“Now, now, now.” They both arched, crying out as the intense orgasms swept over them.
“Jesus!” Lainey blew out a breath. “Incredible!”
“Absolutely.” Eve kissed her gently. “Think we can make it to the bed?”
“I don’t know. I don’t think my legs are working.”
“Hmm. Damn. I was hoping you would carry me.”
“Oh, well in that case, give me a couple of minutes.” Lainey laughed.
“How about we carry each other.” Eve dragged herself up, and held out a hand for Lainey, almost losing her balance as she pulled her up. “Okay. I think we can make it.”
They staggered to the bed and fell face first when they got there. “Will you set your alarm?”
“You want me to move?” Eve teased. “Why? Do you want to leave early tomorrow?”
She had been dreading having to take Lainey and the boys back to Jack, but right now she could only live for the moment. Tonight there was no tomorrow.
“No. I want to sleep with you.”
Eve’s eyes narrowed. “Afraid I’ll lose it again,” she said. “So you can be here to take care of me?” It was the first time either of them had mentioned what happened the night before.
Lainey lifted her hand and moved the hair from Eve’s eyes. “I want to sleep with you,” she repeated. “And, if it happens again and you need me, I want to be here.”
I do need you, Eve thought silently. “All right,” she said aloud. “What time do you want me to set it for?”
“Early. I hope you don’t mind, but I’m going to do everything I can to stay awake and savor every last minute with you.”
Eve wasn’t the only one dreading tomorrow. Lainey was apprehensive about going home to Jack. She was so tired of fighting and has been having such a wonderful time with Eve. Tomorrow she would be going back to reality. It didn’t help that she knew that reality included Adam and Lainey was not looking forward to his and Eve’s reunion. It was selfish of her, she knew, but she just couldn’t help it.
When both women were naked, they crawled under the covers and reached for each other. With tomorrow hanging heavy on their hearts, they made love, slowly and tenderly.
Eve traced Lainey’s cheekbone with her fingertip. Leaning down, she kissed Lainey tenderly, but passionately. She used her tongue and her teeth to stimulate Lainey, trailing down her neck to her breasts.
Lainey sighed softly. “This is all I wanted, this kind of passion and excitement. Why can’t it be like this with Jack?”
If there was anyone Eve did not want to talk about now it was Jack. On the other hand, she had promised Lainey she would help her. “When you are with someone and you want something more than what they are giving you,” she said, “tell them. Let them know what you want them to do, what you want to feel.”
“I can’t do that,” Lainey protested. It frustrated her that this woman, whom she’d recently met, knew what she needed and the man she had been married to makes love to her as if it were a chore. Why could she be this open with Eve, but not with her husband? “I feel awkward telling Jack what I want. Besides, I don’t know that he cares. He knows what he wants and takes it. And then he goes to sleep. I never get the chance to really express myself, Eve.”
Eve kissed her gently. “Tell me what you want now, Lainey.” Her voice was just a breath against Lainey’s lips. “Tell me what to do to you.”
“Kiss me,” Lainey murmured, her voice barely audible.
Eve smiled and obeyed, tangling her tongue with Lainey’s. Feeling Lainey’s body tremble, she deepened the kiss.
“What else?” Eve whispered softly.
“Touch my breast,” Lainey whispered back, feeling more daring when she heard Eve moan and felt her touch.
“Mmm. That’s it, Lainey. Tell me what else you want.”
Eve circled Lainey’s taut nipple with her thumb, arousing both of them more.
Lainey hesitated. “What if I can’t say it?” she asked shyly.
“Then show me.”
Lainey held her breath as she took Eve’s hand and skimmed it down her stomach and guided it between her legs. She sighed, her nails raking over Eve’s back as Eve touched her. “There’s something e
lse I want.”
“Tell me.”
“It’s something I want to do to you.”
Eve raised her head from kissing Lainey’s breast. “To me?”
“Yes.”
“Honey, you’re supposed to tell me what you want.”
“It is what I want.” Lainey’s pulse quickened, her mouth was dry. She was unbelievably nervous. She has made love to Eve, knew every part of her body, knew things no one else knew, and yet she was still nervous.
“All right. What do you want to do to me?” Lainey’s pulse wasn’t the only one that had quickened.
“I want you to lay back.”
Eve did as she was told.
“Spread your legs,” Lainey instructed.
“Do you have any idea what you’re doing to me?” Eve’s breath came faster, her body quivered.
“I have an idea of what I want to do to you.” Lainey lowered her hand between them and touched Eve, making her moan. She then brought her hand up and tasted Eve off of her fingers.
“Oh my God,” Eve moaned. She watched as Lainey licked her fingers, then dip her hand for more. “Lainey,” she whispered.
Lainey brought her fingers to her lips again, rolling her tongue over the tip, tormenting Eve. She lowered her head and licked Eve’s lips the same way Eve had done to her the first time they kissed.
Eve’s body vibrated with need and lust as Lainey kissed her neck, scraping her teeth across Eve’s sensitive skin. She took Eve’s nipple in her teeth, biting gently while grazing her nails down Eve’s sides. Lainey reveled in the way Eve moaned Lainey’s name and moved her body with undeniable pleasure.
Lainey moved down more and sank her teeth into the silky skin of Eve’s belly, trailing down lower.
“Lainey!” Eve fisted her hands in Lainey’s hair. “Are you sure you want to do this?” Lainey didn’t answer, just kept her mouth busy. “God,” Eve breathed. “Be very sure this is what you want.”
Lainey looked up at Eve and smiled, then lowered her mouth to Eve.
“Oh my God!” Eve’s body arched, her eyes closed tightly as the sensation of Lainey’s mouth and tongue on her filled her with an intense pleasure. “Lainey,” she gasped as Lainey’s fingers dug into her hips, pulling Eve closer, probing deeper. Eve pulled and grasped at the sheets, trying to hold on to anything as Lainey took her to the edge, threatening to push her over completely.
Lainey moaned. She couldn’t believe what she was doing. Even more so, she couldn’t believe she was enjoying it so very much. No amount of fantasizing or dreaming could have prepared her for what she was feeling at this moment. She felt Eve’s body writhe, heard her moan and cry out in absolute ecstasy and the feeling was overwhelming.
Eve buried her hands in Lainey’s hair as the powerful orgasm swept over her. Her body trembled with the thrill she had just experienced. Her legs were watery and weak, her heartbeat rapid, her breath ragged. “Wow!” she whispered, her voice a rasp of desire and satisfaction.
Lainey crawled up to lay next to Eve. She turned on her side, propping her head up with her arm that was bent at the elbow. “How did I do?” She ran a fingertip across Eve’s lips and smiled when Eve’s lips parted in response. “Be kind, it was my first time.”
“Then you’re a natural.” Eve nipped at Lainey’s finger, catching it between her teeth and biting playfully. “Unbelievably amazing.”
“You tasted unbelievably amazing.” Lainey bit Eve’s bottom lip.
“Mmm, Lainey. I do believe you’re getting bold.” Eve kissed Lainey’s mouth once. “And brave,” she said kissing her again. “I think I like that.” In one swift motion Eve rolled on top of Lainey and smiled down at her. “You’re beautiful.”
Lainey’s heart soared. “You’re breath-taking,” she responded and saw Eve lower her eyes.
“Beautiful is enough,” Eve said quietly.
“Beautiful doesn’t describe you, Eve.” Eve smiled at Lainey, but it didn’t quite reach her eyes. “Why are you so sad?”
Eve looked into Lainey’s eyes. “I’m not sad.” This time when she smiled, she forced it to reach her eyes.
“Yes, you are. I can see it in your eyes.” Lainey lifted her hand and touched Eve’s face. “Talk to me.”
Eve’s mouth moved down her body. It felt so wonderful that she didn’t want her to stop, but the sadness in Eve’s eyes bothered her. After last night, and the time they just had together now, Lainey was disappointed that Eve still couldn’t trust her. Or wouldn’t.
“You can open your body to me, but not your heart?” Lainey whispered and felt Eve freeze. Eve lifted her head and stared down into Lainey’s eyes. After a moment of silence, Eve rolled away from Lainey and reached for her robe.
“You should go,” she said irritably.
“Eve, don’t do this.”
Eve bent down and picked up Lainey’s clothes. “You should go,” she said again.
“Eve, please. I’m sorry...”
“You have nothing to apologize for, Lainey.” Eve paused and studied Lainey as she lay on Eve’s bed. She hated to give Lainey the cold shoulder. She was offering her so much. But it wasn’t that simple. And Lainey didn’t seem to realize that. “I’m going to go take a shower. You should go back to your room and get some rest. It’s been a long day.” With one last look at Lainey, Eve turned and walked out of the bedroom and into the bathroom, closing the door behind her.
Turning the jets on full, Eve stepped into the shower hoping the harsh spray of water against her skin would wash away some of the hurt. Her forehead pressed against the cool tile, she let the water pound her, completely closing her mind to every thought that tried to invade it. She flinched when Lainey stepped into the shower behind her and put her hands on her shoulders.
“What are you doing in here, Lainey?” she said softly.
“I didn’t mean to hurt you,” Lainey told her.
“I don’t hurt,” Eve lied. “I don’t hurt, I’m not sad, I’m not breath-taking. I’m just Eve. Take me as I am.” She took Lainey’s face in both hands then. “Why did you come in here?”
Lainey answered Eve with a tender kiss. Eve deepened the kiss, slipping her tongue between Lainey’s inviting lips. She pushed Lainey up against the shower wall trailing a fingertip down Lainey’s neck and chest, and then cupped her breast in her hand.
When Lainey cried out, Eve pressed her body closer and lowered her hand to the soft velvet between Lainey’s legs. Lainey’s breath caught when Eve touched her and she arched her back to give Eve more. Eve took more, slipping inside Lainey, loving the way she felt in her hands. “Go over for me, Lainey,” she whispered, her voice hoarse with arousal.
Eve felt Lainey slip her hand down between her legs and Eve gasped when she touched her. “Go over with me, Eve.” They moved together, moaning, bringing each other a pleasure different than either of them had ever felt before. Both of them cried out as they came together.
“We don’t wanna go home, Mommy! We wanna stay here!” Darren had been cranky all morning and Lainey’s nerves were wearing thin. She didn’t want to go home either, but they had to.
“Darren, we’ve been through this already.” Not wanting to waste her last hours alone with Eve sleeping, Lainey was tired. They had spent the time talking about their wonderful day with the boys, and when they weren’t talking, they were making love. The only thing Lainey regretted was that Eve had deliberately steered away from any conversation that involved her or her childhood.
“Yeah, squirt. We have to go back to school tomorrow, remember?” Kevin could tell that his mother was a bit irritable herself, so he tried to help with Darren.
“But, I don’t wanna! I wanna stay here with Eve! I don’t wanna go to school or go home.”
“Darren! That is enough!” Lainey snapped angrily. The whining was just too much for her to handle right now. She heard Darren sniffle and rushed to put her arms around him. “Oh, honey. Mommy’s sorry.” She kissed him on the top of the head. “You know we hav
e to go home. I’d love to stay here, too, but we can’t. You have school, I have a job, and we have to go back to reality.” Lainey’s voice wavered and she fought to control it. No matter how much she wanted break down and cry with Darren, she couldn’t. She had to be strong for him, for both of them.
“But, if we go home, we’ll never see Eve again.” Darren sniffled again and wiped at his tears.
“Why do you say that, honey? We’ll see Eve,” Lainey said, even though she understood his fears. Hadn’t she also been afraid of things changing and losing what she and Eve have?
“She won’t come and see us,” Darren said, wiping his nose with a napkin. “And she’ll forget about us.”
“How could I forget about you?” Eve appeared in the doorway, looking cool and collected in white shorts and tank top.
“I don’t know,” Darren answered shyly. “We won’t get to see you every day, and you’ll be busy.”
“I’ll never be too busy for you,” Eve interrupted softly. “Even if we don’t get to see each other every day, I’ll be thinking about you. You can call me, or come by and visit me anytime you want.”
“Really?”
“Really. You and Kevin are very special to me.” She glanced over at Kevin and winked. “Your mom is very special to me. You guys are a part of my life now. You’re going to see so much of me you’re going to get tired of me.”
“We’ll never get tired of you.” Kevin’s voice was so quiet that Eve barely heard him. She smiled warmly at him and reached over to kiss him gently on the cheek.
“Thank you,” she whispered and turned her attention back to Darren, wiping his cheek. “No more tears. I’m not going anywhere. You’re stuck with me, kiddo.”
Darren threw his arms around Eve. “Promise?”
“Promise.”
“I love you, Eve,” Darren said quietly.
