Jade

  Jade’s face was open with curiosity, but she buttoned her lip. She didn’t want Jade’s pity. Seeing a sign that said Jacob Lake was right up ahead, she asked if they could stop there to stay.

  “Of course. It’s as good a place as any.”

  As they pulled into the parking lot of the Gateway Inn Lodge and got out of the vehicle, the evening was definitely cool. Shivering slightly they walked into the lobby where it was rustic and warm with a huge fire blazing in the fireplace. Armchairs were arranged cozily around it.

  Sal the desk clerk sat up and stared at the two women who walked in. Both were stunning but in completely different ways. The tall dark-haired one was beautiful but hard like an expensive diamond. His eyes wandered over to the very sexy figure of the younger woman. That one he’d like to hit on.

  The dark-haired one approached the counter looking at him with cool green eyes.

  “We’ll be staying for two nights.”

  Sal grunted. What he really wanted to do was ogle the other chick. Still he had a job to do. “Yup, no problem. Got plenty of room right now. We got two double beds in the cabin up the road. I’ll need a credit card imprint to pay for any damages to the room.”

  “Do we look like the type of people to damage a room?” She looked down her snooty nose at him. He’d been right. This one was a bitch. He could tell she didn’t like him. Who did she think she was anyways? He opened his mouth to argue but taking one look at her face Sal knew this one did not lose arguments. As ungraciously as possible, he said, “No.”

  She signed in as J. Taylor and handed over the cash. Sal wrote out a receipt and handed it to her.

  Taking it from him she stood there looking at him.

  “Anything else?”

  “Can we book a mule ride for tomorrow?”

  Officially the season had closed but, due to the nice weather, they were unofficially opened should someone request a mule ride down the canyon trail. Sal was going to make her pay for it. “Sure, for an additional fee.”

  He could literally see the bitch’s jaw line clench when he said this. Good, tit for tat, he thought. You don’t like me and I sure as hell don’t like you.

  “As long as it’s reasonable.”

  Sal smirked, “Oh it will be reasonable all right.”

  “Set it up then,” the bitch said tersely and walked over to the young lady sitting in the chair by the fireplace.

  His eyes wandered over the very sexy figure of the cute brown-haired girl as she stood up. Watching her tight ass in her jeans as she walked out the door, Sal knew just what he’d like to do to her. He was stiff already just at the thought of yanking down those tight jeans to reveal that luscious round ass and…oh she’d be fuel for his fantasies tonight, no question. Sal puzzled over the fact that the brown haired one seemed familiar. Like he recognized her from somewhere. Had he seen her on television or in a photograph somewhere? Shrugging as it didn’t really matter, he turned and put the cash in the cash box and locked it.

  The two women manhandled their luggage into the cabin. Once the bags were stowed away they walked over to the restaurant for something to eat.

  Sitting across from each other, Jade had a sudden yearning to reach across the table and hold Stacey’s hands in hers.

  “I can’t get over how beautiful you are.”

  She flushed. “Thanks. You certainly don’t have to say it all the time, but I really don’t get tired of hearing that. You’re beautiful too you know.”

  “In a different way from you. My beauty’s more hard-edged and sharp. Yours is soft, sexy and extremely feminine. Guys are always worried I’ll take a round out of them.”

  “Well, have you?”

  “Not in the bedroom but in the boardroom I certainly have. I have a reputation for being a bitch, but in reality I’m a really good businesswoman and men have a hard time with that. So instead of applauding me they revile me. Apparently I’ve also been called butch many times behind my back. Seems it is true,” she said, smiling to soften her words.

  Stacey reached for her wine glass and took a sip of it. “It seems unfair that because you’re a woman who’s good in business, you’re only tolerated instead of appreciated.”

  “Well they’re not all like that, but it still is a man’s world despite the progress women have made. I personally would like to see more women in higher management positions but like all things it takes time.”

  “Maybe one day the world will be like elephants, where it’s a matriarchal society, and then men will have to listen and play by our rules.”

  Jade laughed out loud, delighted with the comment. “I think the elephants have it right.” Eyeing Stacey’s breasts, she started thinking about how much she’d love to suck them and suck on other things as well. If she were a guy she’d have a huge hard-on and, despite her words about men, she was beginning to understand a little better what it must be like to walk around feeling horny all the time. Mind you, she was only horny for Stacey and men tended to be horny for anyone. Still it gave her a little insight into how sexual desire can drive a person. “Are you done, ’cause I’d like to head back to the room?” The cleavage peeking out of Stacey’s top made her want to dive across the table and stick her hands down that shirt to fondle those smooth satiny breasts and play with those delightful nipples. Taking a quick look around she saw no one was looking, “Pull your top down.”

  She did what she was told. Teasingly she said, “I’d like to show you my nipples but we’re in a public place and I think you can remember what they look like.”

  “Actually the memory’s fading and I’d like to refresh it. Whaddya say we pay the bill and head back up to the room where I’ll get re-acquainted with them?”

  Stacey smirked. “Well if you really think you can’t remember I guess I could show them to you one more time.”

  Jade licked her lips slowly and sensuously. “I can hardly wait.”

  As she paid for the meal, she was sure everyone could tell that she was on the verge of imminent sex by the way she was acting. The waitress thanked her for her generous tip and she told her the meal was excellent. Although sitting across the table from Stacey had distracted her so much she could barely remember it.

  Walking out casually, they stopped outside, looked at each other and then raced up to the cabin. Once inside they tugged and pulled each other’s clothes off and Jade greedily re-acquainted herself with Stacey’s delightful nipples. Sucking, kissing, touching, the two of them made their way into the shower, fumbling to get the water turned on while still making out.

  Once in the shower, Jade dropped to her knees and gave Stacey’s pussy some much needed loving with her tongue, listening to her sighs of pleasure mingling with the water. Stacey very enthusiastically returned the favor and she went weak in the knees as she came to a glorious climax.

  Afterward they held each other in the shower under the hot water, kissing, nuzzling, and exploring the special crevices of each other’s body until they had both satiated their need.

  Dry and dressed in sweats and a tank top, Jade opened her laptop to check her emails. Stacey sat on the bed and flicked through the television channels to find a movie to watch while they cuddled on the bed.

  “Not finding anything?” she saw Stacey’s frustrated frown as she closed up her laptop. Anthony had forwarded the items he had dealt with that she needed to be kept in the loop on. So far he was doing a bang up job. If he kept this up and things worked out with her and Stacey, she could retire. The thought rocked her. She had never wanted to do that before now and in fact, it had never crossed her mind. But since Stacey had entered her life a short time ago, she realized it might be a possibility, and a pleasant one at that.

  “Not a thing. There is nothing to watch.”

  “You know what, I’m pretty sure there are some movies in the office for rent. That creep at the front desk, I think his name tag said Sal, let’s see if he can’t bring some up.” She got u
p and called the office and told Sal to bring up ten movies of various genres.

  “But you didn’t leave me a credit card imprint. What if you don’t pay for them?” he whined. “And I can’t leave the front desk unattended.”

  Jade wanted to ask if he thought a stampede of people were all of a sudden going to show up. She sighed, biting back her impatience. “I’ll come down and pick them up and pay you in cash. I’ll be there in under two minutes.”

  She grabbed her new down jacket ripping the tags off. Putting it on, she shoved her feet into her runners. “I’ll be right back.”

  Sitting on the bed waiting, Stacey thought about the phone call she had made to the escort agency letting them know she wouldn’t be taking any bookings for the next three weeks and to cancel any bookings she already had. They hadn’t asked why she was taking time off, which had hurt a bit, but had sure laid a guilt trip telling her that her clients would be very disappointed. Said they probably wouldn’t use their services in the future. Stacey knew it was rubbish. It was true she had regular clients but she also knew if a client wanted sex then he would book the next girl on his list if she wasn’t available. Looks notwithstanding, escorts were a dime a dozen and ultimately she was no more highly prized than the next one down the line. Sex was sex and they could all do the job.

  As she was perusing the mental landscape of her past tawdry deeds and examining them in detail, Jade burst in with about twenty DVDs in her arms and some snack food from the vending machine in the lobby.

  Astonished at the amount she got, Stacey blurted out, “We’ll never watch all those.”

  “Probably not,” Jade agreed. “But good ol’ fat Sal down there says he could only get an hour’s ride on the mules. It’ll leave us a lot of time to watch movies so I grabbed a few off the shelf so we have something to do. ”

  Stacey immediately thought of what they could do. Looking at her Jade must have read her mind because she smiled and said, “Or plenty of that.”

  Stacey laughed. How long had it been since she had genuinely laughed? Pointing to the DVDs she said, “Let’s see what you’ve got there first.”

  “Sure,” Jade said handing them over. “I didn’t look them over so hopefully there’s something there we want to watch. I figure with the quantity I got there’s got to be one or two we’ll like.”

  Looking them over, Stacey chose a comedy. “Do you mind if we watch this?” This time she struggled not too laugh at the sheer horror on Jade’s face at her choice. “Or is there something else you’d like?”

  “Oh, no, no, that’s fine.” she assured her hastily. “I’ve never watched any comedies so who knows? Maybe I’ll really like it.”

  “You never know until you try,” she concurred.

  Stacey was pleased at the evident enjoyment Jade got from the movie, laughing uncontrollably at the funny parts until tears rolled down her face. She grabbed her stomach a couple of times and said, “How come if feels so good to laugh but hurts at the same time?” It was a nice change to see.

  Stacey had seen the movie before and it was funny. And it was funny how all the bare breasts in the movie didn’t bother her before but now with Jade looking at them, she was a little jealous.

  Jealousy got the better of her and she couldn’t restrain herself. “Do you like their boobs better than mine?” she pouted prettily.

  Jade looked at her. “No,” was her honest answer. “All they do is make me think of yours.” And next thing she knew Jade had paused the movie and was wrestling her top up to take a look at her beautiful breasts and do oh so much more.

  Sal had closed for the night and gone out to his cabin that his uncle, the owner of the Gateway Inn Lodge, let him rent for a really good deal. As he walked he puzzled over the two women. The beautiful ice queen with the black hair he didn’t recognize at all, but there was something very familiar about the brunette. He just couldn’t place her.

  The black haired one had refused to give him her credit card and had signed in as J. Taylor. Probably a phony name. He wondered if the two women had the law after them and were on the run. Very few people ventured up here at this time of the year and he had been lucky that Mitch and Sandy Shmigelsky had been willing to take their mules out. Not that they were opposed to making extra money, but it was because he had been the one to ask the favor. Sal knew they didn’t like him but in a small town no one really liked to rock the boat. They had agreed to take the two women for an additional fee, part of which would go to Sal.

  Turning on his television, he settled down to watch one of his favorite hard core adult satellite stations that showed women taking it any way it was dished out to them which, in his opinion, was how it should be.

  Chapter Six

  Jade woke up in the morning feeling stiff and sore. After their session of love making Stacey had fallen asleep on her chest and hadn’t moved an inch. As the night wore on, Jade had thought about waking her up so she could move to a more comfortable position, but the younger woman looked so adorable curled up on her she didn’t have the heart to do it. Instead she was content looking down at her, enjoying how peaceful and relaxed Stacey looked. Eventually Jade nodded off into a restless sleep as well in the wee hours of the night.

  The inevitable urged her to make a move and, gently nudging Stacey to wakefulness, she said, “I’ve got to get up and use the washroom.”

  Stacey gave her a sleepy kiss and moved off her. When she came back she was surprised to see the bed empty. She had been planning on snuggling up with Stacey for a few more minutes until it was time to get up and get some breakfast before heading out for their mule ride.

  Stacey came dashing back into the bedroom, overjoyed. “Jade! It’s snowing outside. It’s like little pieces of magic falling to the ground!” she exclaimed excitedly. “I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen snow – it’s been so long!”

  Jade was well acquainted with snow and simply grimaced.

  “How can you make a face when it’s so beautiful?” Stacey said, twirling around.

  Jade caught her in mid-twirl and pulled her tight against her. Stacey’s face was turned expectantly up toward her and she kissed her soundly. “Because nothing is as beautiful as you.”

  Laying her head against Jade’s chest, she sighed contentedly. “There’s no better feeling than being here with you in this cabin on a day like today. This is the best time I had in a long time,” she blurted out.

  Jade looked down at her and held her closer, wondering how truly awful her life must have been if watching a few movies in this tacky old cabin was one of the best times of her life.

  Aroused and feeling the usual wetness and throbbing that Stacey induced, she wondered if they would have time for a quickie. Sorely tempted, she looked at the clock then realized they were pushed for time if they wanted to eat and make it for the mule ride. It would have to be later.

  Kissing Stacey she said, “We’d better get a move on or we’ll miss our mule ride.”

  Stacey smiled wickedly up at her looking every inch the little temptress. “When we get back we can heat each other up under the covers. I want to lick every square inch of your body with my tongue until you’re warm and wet. Then I’m going to lick that delicious clit of yours and make you come and come until you can’t stand it anymore.

  “After I’m finished tongue fucking you then I’m going to finger fuck both your holes long and hard. Then you can take me any way you like.” Stacey’s pupils were huge with desire as she described in detail the sexual encounter they were destined to have.

  Sexual heat ignited Jade’s body, her thoughts sliding towards the curved smooth glass dildo hidden in the black leather bag and fucking Stacey’s beautiful tight ass with it. She entertained the idea of cancelling the mule ride but still paying for it. Then the sexual fantasy could be played out.

  “I can’t wait,” she told her, kissing her hard on the mouth. Stacey’s lips parted and her delicious little tongue
tickled hers.

  Jade’s libido battled with her rational mind. When would they have another chance to ride mules down the Grand Canyon with just the two of them and their guides being on the trail? Probably never. Peeling herself away from Stacey before things got out of hand she took one more glance at the snow falling outside the window. Thankful they had purchased snow gear before leaving Las Vegas she wondered, though, if their mule ride wouldn’t be cancelled anyhow due to the weather. If so she knew exactly what she wanted to do instead.

  Just as she was reaching for the bags with the snow gear in them, she heard her cell phone buzz on the dresser. Picking it up she saw it was Anthony. Sighing she debated answering it and decided against it. She would deal with him later, right now she wanted to forget that part of her life even existed.

  * * * *

  Anthony put his cell phone on the desk beside him. Here it was Wednesday and his boss had gone incommunicado. Not much time had passed since she surprised him with the news she was taking three weeks off but it was just so unlike Jade – a bona fide workaholic – to go ten minutes without texting him, calling him or emailing him when she was out of town. He appreciated the vote of confidence but he was concerned about her. He figured the best way to gauge what was going on was by talking to her on the phone. Even then he’d not get much out of her if she didn’t want him to – she could be pretty tight lipped.

  Sighing, he picked up his cell phone and called his partner, Brendan. “I’m worried about Jade,” he said without any preamble.
