“Lie back,” Tommy said.
Dolly lay down on her back, and Tommy unzipped her slacks. Dolly arched her hips to allow Tommy to take them off. She lay there in her panties and shirt and felt exposed. Not in a bad way, but in a way that she was wide open for Tommy to do as she liked. She couldn’t wait for Tommy to have her way with her.
Tommy got Dolly’s shirt and bra off before finally dragging her panties down her legs. Dolly felt free. She was unencumbered by clothes. It was her as nature had made her. She dragged her hands over the length of her body, enjoying the reaction it had to her touch.
“Hey,” Tommy said. “Save some of that for me.”
“I will. Hurry up and get out of those clothes.”
Dolly watched in admiration as Tommy made short order of stripping out of her clothes. Her body was every bit as gorgeous as she’d fantasized. She was long and lean, and Dolly couldn’t wait to touch her. As Tommy stood by the bed, Dolly reached out a hand and dragged it over Tommy’s belly, watching it ripple at her touch.
“Scoot over so I can join you,” Tommy said.
Dolly moved over to her left and propped herself up on an elbow to look at Tommy, who lay there looking sexy as hell with her blue eyes darkened with lust and a body just made to make love to.
Dolly felt like she was on fire when Tommy moved her hand over the length of her. She felt that she would surely explode if Tommy didn’t touch her soon. Or even if Tommy did touch her. She needed it and she needed it bad.
“Touch me, Tommy,” she said.
“I am.”
“No, I mean, really touch me. You know.”
Tommy slipped her hand between her legs.
“You mean here?”
Dolly’s breath caught. She was so wet. She was dripping. She needed Tommy to take care of her.
“Yes. That’s it. Now, make me come or I’ll make myself.”
“I’d love to see that. I love to watch women please themselves.”
Unable to stand her arousal much longer, Dolly placed her hand between her legs and rubbed her swollen clit. Oh dear God, that felt good. She closed her eyes and relaxed into a rhythm when Tommy grabbed her wrist.
Dolly’s eyes shot open.
“What gives? I thought you said…”
“I did say that I love to watch a woman please herself, but not you. Not now. Right now, I’m going to fuck you until you come for me.”
Tommy slid her fingers as deep as they could go inside Dolly, who writhed and gyrated on the bed, leading Tommy’s fingers to where they felt best inside her. Tommy plunged her fingers in and twisted her hand as she pulled them out. Dolly was beside herself. She was so close to coming, but she needed something more. Her head was foggy and her muscles tense, but she wasn’t finding release until she rubbed her clit again. This time Tommy didn’t stop her. They worked together until Dolly’s world crashed into tiny pieces as it exploded in orgasms.
She finally opened her eyes and saw Tommy staring down at her. The look in Tommy’s eyes made her gut clench. There was longing, to be sure, but also pride. Every emotion showed in Tommy’s eyes and Dolly liked that. She leaned in and kissed her. Their first kiss. It was soft and tender at first, but soon filled with the passion they were feeling. As they kissed, Dolly ran her hand between Tommy’s legs. She was coated in thick liquid and Dolly easily slid inside.
She moved her fingers in and out in rhythm with Tommy’s bucking until she felt Tommy quiver inside. She ran her fingers over Tommy’s swollen clit, and Tommy issued a guttural moan as she climaxed.
“Who’d have thought?” Tommy pulled Dolly to her and held her close.
“Hmm?”
“Who’d have thought the navy nurse and the activist would end up in bed together?”
“I know. I’d have thought it. As soon as I saw you at the bar, I knew I wanted you.”
“Yeah? Well, I saw you and thought the same until I recognized you.” Tommy laughed.
“I’m glad we were able to put aside our differences.”
“Me, too.”
“So…” Dolly said. “Isn’t this about when you take off?”
“You’ve got a pretty good handle on me, don’t you? Well, for one thing, I paid for the room for a night, so I may as well stay the night. Two, I don’t want to walk back to the commune at this hour, and three, I’m taking you to the zoo tomorrow so I may as well stay.”
Dolly hoped the degree of her happiness didn’t show on her face. She was incredibly excited. She really liked Tommy and was thrilled that she would spend the night and that she still planned to take her to the zoo.
Tommy was an interesting woman, Dolly pondered as she drifted off to sleep.
Chapter Four
Tommy woke up late the next morning. She heard the shower going, so settled to wait for her turn. She saw doughnuts on the table and walked over to help herself. She took a chocolate covered chocolate one that was delicious. She hadn’t realized how hungry she was. She’d essentially drunk her dinner the previous night.
She helped herself to another doughnut just as the door to the bathroom opened and Dolly walked out smelling clean and fresh. Tommy crossed the room and took her in her arms.
“Good morning,” she said.
“Good morning.”
Tommy kissed her hard on the mouth, and Dolly’s arms went around her neck, pulling her close.
“How did you sleep?” Dolly asked.
“Like a baby. And you?”
“I had a great night’s sleep.”
“Good. Are you ready for the zoo?”
“I will be when you are.”
“Great. Let me get in the shower. I’ll be out in a few minutes.”
“Sounds good.” Dolly patted Tommy on the ass as she disappeared into the bathroom.
Tommy smiled as she got in. She took her time as a hot shower was a luxury for her. She lathered up and rinsed off and wished Dolly was in there with her. She was in the mood to have her again. She didn’t know what was up with that, but instead of wanting to get as far away as possible, she wanted to spend as much time with her as she could. She was confused and somewhat scared, but she made herself accept her feelings and see where they led.
She walked out of the bathroom naked and was sad to see Dolly already dressed.
“What’s wrong?” Dolly asked.
“I wanted to have you again.”
“Well, that can be arranged. I just went down to my room to get some clothes while you were in the shower. But I can easily take them off.”
Tommy stared at her, the longing in her almost too much. But if they wanted to get to the zoo, she figured they should get going.
“No, that’s okay. Let’s check out the zoo. Did you want to see if Tawny wants to go?”
“That’s very nice of you, but I think she’s going in search of lesbians today.”
“In search of lesbians, huh?” Tommy laughed. “What exactly does that entail?”
“She’s heard rumors of lesbian bars. She’s going to try to find one. Though she’s terrified she’ll be seen.”
“Why? It’s a free country. She can be in a bar.”
“It would cost her her job.”
“Seriously?”
“Seriously.”
“That’s bullshit.”
“It’s reality. Not everyone is doing the free love thing like you.”
“Well, they should,” Tommy said. “It would make for a much happier world.”
“Maybe.” Dolly laughed. “But it’s not how it works for now.”
“Okay, well then it’s just the two of us. Let’s go catch a cab to the zoo.”
“Tommy, may I ask you a question?”
“Sure. What’s up?”
“Where do you get your money? I mean for the motel, the cab, the zoo? You don’t have a job.”
“Ah, another off limits topic. Sorry. I can’t say.”
“You can’t or you won’t?”
“Either way.”
; “You intrigue me, Tommy.”
“So be it.”
Tommy reached for Dolly’s hand as they walked toward Main Street to catch a cab. Dolly quickly pulled away.
“What did I just tell you?” she said.
“Oh, yeah. Sorry. I just want to hold your hand.”
“Well, you can in our motel room, but not in public.”
“I like you, Dolly.”
“Thanks. I like you, too.”
“It just seemed natural. I want to be touching you constantly. Is that so wrong?”
“No. I get it. I really do. But I don’t want to lose my job.”
Tommy bit back a smart retort about helping baby killers. She preferred not to think about what Dolly did for a living and focus instead on the beautiful woman with her.
Tommy caught them a cab and held the door open for Dolly, who slid in and didn’t object to Tommy’s hand lightly brushing against her back. Tommy sat as close to Dolly as she thought she’d allow. She wanted to put her arm around her and hold her tight. She didn’t understand it, but the desire was there. She reasoned that she just wanted to have sex with her again, but deep down it seemed like there may be more to it.
The cab dropped them off at the zoo and Tommy was curious to see what exhibits Dolly liked. Tommy’s favorites were the snakes and the penguins. She couldn’t wait to see what Dolly preferred.
The zoo was fairly empty, which Tommy took advantage of by touching Dolly as much as she could. She either stood so close they touched, or brushed into her as she walked behind her to read something. And each touch sent a lightning bolt of desire coursing through her.
Dolly was like a little kid at Christmas. Each exhibit made her squeal with delight. She loved the big cats and declared the polar bears her early favorites. Tommy guided her to the snakes and was pleasantly surprised to see that Dolly wasn’t at all squeamish among the large reptiles.
“They’re so cool,” Dolly said.
“I love the snakes,” Tommy said.
“I wonder why. Do you feel a connection with them?”
“I don’t know. Maybe. Maybe I envy their freedom, you know? They’re the predators so they pretty much run their own worlds. That would be a wonderful freedom.”
“That’s an interesting way to look at things.”
Tommy shrugged. She didn’t know what it was about the snakes, but she loved them.
They stopped for lunch and each had a burger. Tommy seldom ate meat since it would be too expensive to feed everyone at the commune. They usually ate vegetarian meals. The burger was delicious, and Tommy took her time savoring it.
“Are you enjoying yourself?” she said.
“Oh, yes. I’m having a wonderful time.”
“Excellent. We still have a lot to see.”
“I’m up for it if you are.”
“Oh, yeah. I love the zoo. I come here kind of frequently. Well, once in a while anyway. It’s a nice, peaceful place to get away to.”
“So even you have to take a break sometimes, huh?”
“Yeah,” Tommy said. “Even though the commune is supposed to be peaceful, and generally is, occasionally we get wanderers who don’t fit in. That brings tension, and eventually we have to ask them to leave. I’m usually involved in all of that. When that happens, I come here to get away. I also come here when the war weighs too heavy on my mind. It’s a place I can relax and breathe.”
“I’m glad you have a place you can come,” Dolly said. “That’s important.”
“What do you do on the ship?”
“I read. I read everything I can get my hands on. The ship has a pretty extensive library, actually.”
“Oh, good. So you have an escape as well. I’m glad to hear that.”
They finished lunch and started the rest of their journey. Dolly was particularly taken by the birds of prey exhibit.
“You want to talk about freedom,” Dolly said. “These birds live it. Soaring high in the skies searching for prey. Wouldn’t that be amazing?”
“It’d be pretty cool. But they have other birds of prey to be afraid of. I don’t know if I could live my life in constant fear.”
Dolly got silent, and Tommy feared she had said something wrong.
“What’s up?” she said.
“Nothing.”
“No. You’re being quiet. Tell me what you’re thinking.”
“Just that bit about living your life in constant fear. That’s what we do on the ship, Tommy. We’re likely to get blown up at any time.”
Tommy heard her voice shake. Public display of affection be damned. She pulled Dolly into her arms.
“Shh. It’s okay. You’re safe with me.”
“I’m sorry,” Dolly said. “I know how you feel about the war. I shouldn’t talk about it.”
“Hearing you talk about it only enforces my resolve. I can’t support what you do, Dolly, but I can be here to help make your liberty as enjoyable as I can.”
“I know. And I appreciate that.”
“Okay, well let’s enjoy this beautiful day some more. Come on.”
They went about their way and finally got to the penguins. Tommy said nothing about how much she enjoyed the exhibit until Dolly once again squealed in delight.
“Oh my God. They’re so cute.”
“Aren’t they adorable?”
“They are. I could stay here and watch them all day.”
“The zoo doesn’t close for a while. Let’s find a bench and do just that.”
They sat close on the bench. Not close enough for Tommy, but closer than she thought Dolly would allow. She’d take it.
After a while, Dolly stood.
“I think I’ve seen enough.”
“Are you sure? I’m in no hurry.”
“Neither am I. I just don’t want you to get bored.”
“I won’t, but we can get going if you want.”
“Yes. I think I’m ready.”
“So, what now?” Tommy asked. “Do you want me to take you back to your room and head back to the commune?”
She held her breath waiting for the answer.
“Is that what you want?” Dolly said.
“I asked you first. What do you want?”
“I’d like to spend more time with you.”
“So that’s what we’ll do. What do you want to do next then?”
Dolly blushed.
“I’d like to go back to the motel for a while.”
Tommy enjoyed the flush on Dolly’s face. She couldn’t resist the temptation to tease her.
“And what will we do there?” she asked.
The blush deepened, and Dolly didn’t answer. Instead, she gently nudged Tommy in the direction of the zoo entrance. They caught a cab back to the motel, and this time Tommy went to the office and got a room for several nights, hoping to spend as much time with Dolly as she could.
When they got to the room, Dolly sat on the bed.
“Thanks again for getting us our own room,” she said.
“No problem.” Tommy sat next to her and held her hand. She lightly stroked it, thinking how much she wanted to get her naked and have sex with her again. But something seemed to be bothering Dolly. “What’s wrong, baby?”
“Baby?”
“Too soon?”
“No. I like it.”
“Good. So, what’s going on inside that beautiful mind of yours?”
“Nothing. I’m just nervous, I guess.”
“Nervous? What about?”
“I don’t know,” Dolly said.
“It’s not like we haven’t been here before.”
“I know, but I feel like I just begged you to have sex with me.”
“How do you figure?”
“I don’t know.”
“Baby, you said you wanted to come back to the motel. Sure, I assumed that meant we’d do it again, but I want that as much as you do. You didn’t beg me for that. And you never have to.”
“Okay.”
“Okay?”
Dolly nodded. Tommy put her hand under her chin and lowered her mouth to claim her lips.
“Better?” Tommy asked.
“Much.” She reached up, pulled Tommy to her, and kissed her passionately.
“That’s what I’m talkin’ about,” Tommy said when the kiss ended. They kissed again as Tommy got Dolly onto her back. She held her face in place with her hand on Dolly’s jaw. She loved the feel of her jaw working as her tongue tangoed with her own.
Tommy’s temperature was rising. She was sure she would overheat, such was her desire for Dolly. She unbuttoned her shirt and unhooked her bra, freeing Dolly’s full breasts.
“Baby, I love your breasts,” Tommy said.
“I’m glad.” Dolly laid her head back on the pillow while Tommy played with her breasts.
“I could knead and suck on them all day.”
“Please do.”
“Mm.” Tommy buried her head between the two soft mounds of flesh. “They’re so big.”
“Should I be self-conscious about that?” Dolly said.
“Oh, no. They’re beautiful. Absolutely perfect. What size are you, if I may ask?”
“I’m a thirty-eight double D.”
“Perfect. That’s the perfect size, I’ve decided.”
Dolly laughed.
“They kind of go with the rest of me. I’m not the smallest woman in the world, you know.”
“No, you’re not. I love your figure though. It’s totally bitchin’. And at least you have one.”
“I love your body, too, Tommy. And it fits you. You wouldn’t look right with curves.”
“I wouldn’t, huh?” It was Tommy’s turn to laugh. “That’s good to know, since I can’t do much about the body I have.”
She went back to sucking and licking Dolly’s breasts until she needed more. She unbuttoned and unzipped Dolly’s slacks. Dolly kicked her shoes off, and together they got her undressed. Tommy stared at the vision before her.
“You are so beautiful,” she said. She kissed her again as she dragged her hand over the voluptuousness of her body. She played with her breasts again before moving her hand lower to find heaven between her legs. She spread her lips and delved inside.
“How does that feel?” she asked.
“Wonderful, but I need more. Give me more, Tommy.”
