Family Love

by Jeanne Mccann

  “You’ll be fine as soon as you see Reina,” Tamara reassured her.

  By the time Reina arrived, Payton was a nervous wreck. Reina walked in to say hello to everyone and Payton could only stare. Reina was wearing a silk pants outfit that was copper and gold in color. She wore her hair up and she looked so elegant and beautiful, it intimi¨dated Payton.

  “Hi.” She smiled as she gazed at Payton. “You look fantastic.”

  “So do you.” Payton was wearing a navy blue pants suit. One she had just purchased. Reina reached out and took her hand, which helped calm Payton’s nerves.

  “Reina, you look wonderful.”

  “Thanks, Lindy.”

  “Payton, you have your key?”

  “Yes.”

  “Where are you going?”

  “I thought we would go to Saro’s.”

  “So, you plan to dance with this gal?” Lindy teased.

  “I thought we might try it.” Reina smiled shyly. “We have reserva¨tions at six forty-five.”

  “You’d better get going then.”

  “I’ll see you in the morning,” Payton reminded Lindy.

  “Have a great time.”

  “Bye Reina, Payton, have fun.”

  “See you later.”

  Reina and Payton were silent as they walked to the car and climbed in. Reina smiled at Payton as she spoke. “Are you as nervous as I am?”

  “I’m scared to death.” Payton grinned.

  “I missed you all day.” Reina leaned over and kissed Payton.

  “I missed you so much.” Payton sighed as she kissed her in return.

  “Ready?” Reina grinned as Payton nodded her head. They were going on their first real date.

  After a brief drive, Reina parked the car in front of a small restau¨rant. They visited quietly as they entered the elegant front entrance. “Hello, we have reservations for two under the name of Landers.”

  “This way, please.”

  The restaurant was quiet and dimly lit, very romantic, and, as Payton followed Reina and their host to their table, she noticed that most of the couples were same sex couples. “Here is your table.” The host sat them both on the same side of the table and Payton was thrilled. She didn’t want to be separated from Reina, not even across a table.

  “Your waitperson will be right with you.”

  “Thank you.”

  “How was your day?” Payton was still a little nervous.

  “Busy and very long.” Reina clasped Payton’s hand in her own. “How was your lunch with Lindy?”

  “Very nice. I liked her place.” Payton wasn’t about to share with Reina the possibility of a getting a job there.

  “Lindy seems to like working there.”

  “Reina, I want to answer the question you asked me to think about.”

  “Payton, it’s okay, I’m sorry I made such a big deal.”

  “Reina, look at me, please.”

  Reina’s eyes revealed her fear as she gazed at Payton. “Reina, this may seem very quick and if you don’t feel the same way, please tell me. I find your being pregnant beautiful and miraculous. I want to see your body change as this life grows inside you. If you can’t share your family with me I will understand. But if you feel anything close to what I feel at this moment, you will trust me when I say I will never leave.” Payton spoke softly to the gorgeous woman sitting next to her.

  Reina’s eyes filled with tears as she smiled. “I feel the same way. I want to share my family with you, and 1 want to believe you won’t leave.”

  “That’s all I ask, Reina. Give me some time to show you that you can trust us.” Payton’s heart was pounding.

  “Payton, I love you.” Reina smiled at her.

  “I love you, Reina.” They shared a soft kiss as the waitperson approached the table. Payton ordered a glass of wine, Reina seltzer water, and they began to talk about their jobs, their families, and their dreams. Dinner slipped by as they held hands, stared at each other, and kissed frequently. As the table was cleared, the two of them were in no hurry to leave.

  “Payton, I would like to dance with you,” Reina asked shyly.

  “Well, then, let’s just do that.” Payton grinned. “Let’s go find a table in the bar.”

  The restaurant was divided into the dining area where soft, romantic music drifted out, and a section for dancing where disco music played. Payton took care of the bill despite Reina’s protest, and the two of them entered the dimly lit bar. They sat at an empty table looking at each other, waiting for the perfect song to dance to. A sul¨try love song started to play and Payton smiled at Reina and stood up.

  “Madame, would you like to dance with me?” Payton held out her hand to Reina, who grasped it, smiling.

  “I would love to.”

  Reina followed Payton onto the dance floor and slid into her arms. Payton gasped softly as her body came into contact with Reina’s. Payton’s arms tightened around Reina’s neck and Reina placed her arm around Payton’s waist. Payton’s face was tucked against Reina’s as they moved to the music, their bodies as one. Reina’s lips slid along Payton’s neck before she gently, softly, kissed her. Payton melted, returning Reina’s kiss.

  “Payton, I can’t get close enough to you. I love kissing you, hold¨ing you, but that isn’t enough for me. I want to make love with you.”

  “Reina, I want that, too. I love holding you and kissing you. But I don’t want a couple of nights of sex with you.”

  “I don’t want that either. I haven’t slept with someone for a very long time.”

  “You know if you sleep with me, you have to marry me.” Payton grinned.

  “I do.” Reina laughed. “If you make love with me, you are com¨mitting to three other people.”

  Payton recognized the importance of that statement as she watched Reina carefully. “I wouldn’t sleep with you if I wasn’t ready to commit myself to you and all of your children.”

  “I love you, Payton.” Reina whispered, her mouth covering Pay-ton’s. Payton’s lips and tongue teased Reina as they danced, their bodies tightly tucked against each other. Reina couldn’t believe how quickly her body responded to Payton’s. Never before had she felt such painful pleasure, as her breasts rested against Payton’s. They ached to be touched, along with the rest of her body. What made her flush with heat were the visions she had filtering through her head of stripping Payton of her clothes and making slow passionate love to her. It wasn’t just physical attraction she felt toward Payton, it was the jolt her heart received when Payton interacted with her children. It was Payton’s gentleness, patience, and genuine affection for Max and Molly that Reina found sexy.

  Payton breathed in deeply as she slowly moved with Reina to the music. The perfume Reina was wearing teased her senses. As her lips grazed Reina’s cheek, she could smell it. When she kissed her neck it drifted in the air, making Payton tingle. Her body shivered as she felt desire course through her. She was physically drawn to Reina like no one ever before. Her wavy blond hair, beautiful blue eyes, and matching dimples, made Payton’s heart flip as she looked at her. Her long legs and slender frame were very appealing, and her full breasts rubbing against Payton’s made her crazy with want. She badly desired to slowly remove Reina’s clothes and kiss her from head to toe, to taste every inch of her body. She wanted her mouth on those beautiful breasts, her hands on her gorgeous body. More than any¨thing, she wanted to hear Reina cry out with pleasure, as Payton loved her.

  “Payton, can we get out of here?” Reina asked. “I need to hold you.”

  Payton looked into the serious eyes of Reina and nodded her head, smiling. “Yes, please. I want to be alone with you.”

  Reina took Payton’s hand and led the way out of the restaurant and into her car. Neither one said a word as they climbed in. It was the glow in Reina’s eyes in the darkness that made Payton moan and reach for her. Their lips devoured each other, their breath coming in gasps as they hungrily kissed. It was Reina’s hands, which open
ed Payton’s jacket and found her swollen breasts.

  “Oh God!” Payton cried out when Reina’s fingers surrounded her nipples.

  “Payton, I want to make love with you,” Reina confessed, her mouth joining her fingers, tasting Payton through her silk shirt and bra. Payton wanted to shed her clothes immediately.

  “I’d like nothing more than to make love with you, but where do we go?” Payton’s voice betrayed her frustration.

  “My home. I will take you home in the morning, I promise.” Reina kissed Payton thoroughly.

  “I brought nothing with me,” Payton whispered.

  “You don’t need anything.”

  “1 need you.”

  They shared one more kiss, before Reina sat up away from Payton, her face flushed. “Are you sure you want to come home with me?”

  “Reina, I am more than sure.” Payton smiled and took her hand. “Now hurry, we’re wasting valuable time.” She grinned.

  Reina laughed and started the car. It would only take thirty min¨utes to get home, but that could be a long thirty minutes.

  Payton grew very nervous while waiting for Reina to thank the babysitter and pay her. Once alone in Reina’s living room, they just stared at each other. It was Payton who broke the silence. “Would you show me your home?”

  “I’d love to.” Reina smiled and held her hand out to Payton.

  Reina’s house was an open design with high ceilings, the living room, dining room, and kitchen all one big area. It was hard to believe she had two small children, because the house was spotless and elegant. They walked down a wide hallway, and Reina opened the first doorway on the left.

  “This is Molly’s room,” She whispered.

  The tiny little girl was blissfully sleeping on her back, her hair curling wildly around her. Her room was painted with stars and clouds, which matched her bedspread. It was a perfect little girl’s room. Reina led the way to Molly’s bed and bent down to give her a kiss. Molly stirred a little and opened her eyes.

  “Hi Mommy.”

  “Hello love. You go back to sleep, honey.”

  “Hi Payton.”

  “Hi Molly.”

  “Can I give Payton a hug?”

  “Of course you can, sweetie.” Reina smiled as her tiny daughter grinned happily.

  Payton smiled widely and bent to hug Molly. Molly’s arms tight¨ened around Payton’s neck and she hugged her very tightly while Payton gently held her.

  “I love you gobs, Payton,” She whispered.

  “I love you gobs, Molly.” Payton’s heart flipped and her eyes filled with tears. In the space of two days this little girl had found a huge place in Payton’s heart. “Now you go to sleep, honey.”

  “Goodnight.”

  “Sleep tight.” Reina tucked her in.

  Payton left the room and waited outside for Reina. Reina gazed at Payton’s face with a half-smile. She didn’t need to be told how much Payton was affected by Molly’s words. Her face gave her away, as did the tears glistening in her eyes.

  “She loves you, honey.” Reina slid her arms around Payton.

  “I find that so amazing,” Payton explained as she kissed Reina. “Can you show me your house in the morning?”

  Reina just grinned and pulled Payton down the hallway to a set of double doors at the end. “This is my bedroom.”

  She opened the doors to the bedroom and let Payton enter first. The room was dimly lit but Payton could see how large it was. It was double the size of Payton’s bedroom at home. The king-size bed was in the far corner covered by a colorful quilt and matching pillows. There was a small sitting area and the furniture in the room was Scandinavian in style. It looked like Reina.

  “Payton, look at me.” Reina quietly shut the bedroom doors. Pay-ton turned to face her, trying hard not to look nervous. “You look scared to death.”

  “I am.” Payton admitted, grinning at Reina as she stepped into her arms. Payton kissed her with all the pent up passion she felt. Her lips tasted Reina’s as her tongue swept through her mouth. Payton moaned as Reina’s mouth opened to hers and they shared a breath-stealing kiss. Payton’s lips trailed along Reina’s neck, her tongue once again memorizing the texture and taste of Reina’s skin. Reina’s hands stroked Payton’s back and hips as they stood in each other’s arms. Payton’s lips met Reina’s again with tenderness, slowly and thor¨oughly loving her with her mouth. Reina’s hands became impatient, unbuttoning Payton’s jacket and sliding it off her shoulders. She placed kiss after soft kiss along the neckline of Payton’s silk shell, tightening her arms around her. Payton’s body vibrated as Reina’s hands clasped her hips tightly against her own. Payton could feel the strength in Reina’s legs.

  “Payton, I can’t go slow,” Reina gasped, her hips rolling against Payton’s.

  Payton smiled and began to unbutton Reina’s silk shirt. “Then let’s not go slow.”

  Reina’s fingers pulled Payton’s shirt from her pants, as she kicked her own shoes off. Payton reached for Reina’s zipper and rapidly shed Reina of her pants and nylons. Reina stood in front of Payton in her bra and panties, both a lacy cream color and extremely sexy. Pay-ton’s eyes caressed the voluptuous figure revealed to her.

  “You are so beautiful,” Payton breathed, reaching for Reina.

  “No, you don’t.” Reina chuckled as she rapidly removed Payton’s pants from her slim hips and dropped them to the floor. Payton had no time to blush as Reina’s mouth covered hers, her hands floating over Payton’s shoulders and arms before linking with Payton’s hands. Payton’s heart pounded as she and Reina devoured each other’s lips.

  “Payton,” Reina whispered when their bodies slid against each other. Reina’s body ached to be touched, as their skin melded from head to toe. Payton traced Reina’s back and ribs with her fingers until they brushed against her full breasts.

  “Oh God!” Reina cried, as Payton’s hands spread around her breasts.

  “You are so beautiful,” Payton whispered as she caressed Reina. Her mouth followed her fingers, nuzzling the tops of Reina’s breasts. Reina’s body arched toward Payton and her head fell onto Payton’s shoulder. As Payton stripped Reina’s bra from her body, she stopped for a moment to appreciate the full firm breasts and thrusting nip¨ples. She leaned over and took Reina’s nipple into her hot, wet mouth, suckling and teasing with her tongue, drawing a moan of pleasure from Reina. Payton covered Reina’s breasts with kisses and passionate stroking until Reina’s body shook. Payton could wait no longer as she dropped to her knees, her tongue tasting Reina’s stom¨ach and hips. Pushing her panties off her hips and dropping them to the floor, Payton covered the tops of Reina’s thighs with kisses as her arms surrounded Reina’s hips, pulling her tightly against her mouth. Reina’s breaths came in gasps when Payton’s mouth and tongue traced the inside of her thighs, before gently touching her swollen, throbbing, and wet center. Payton moaned, as she tasted Reina for the first time. Sliding her tongue in and out of Reina slowly, she stroked her pulsing core. Reina’s hands clenched Payton’s shoulders and her legs began to tremble. Payton could feel the first tremors of an orgasm as Reina cried out. Her fingers joined her tongue as she plunged them inside Reina, drawing another cry of pleasure.

  “Oh God, oh God.” Reina gasped. Payton continued her atten¨tions while Reina’s body twisted and shuddered in the throes of an orgasm. Payton held Reina tightly until her body softened then Pay-ton stood up and cradled Reina’s body kissing her softly.

  “Reina, I love you,” Payton murmured, holding her still trembling body.

  “Payton, I love you,” Reina pledged as she stared into her eyes, her head resting on Payton’s shoulder. “I’ve never felt like this before,” She confessed. Reina was usually the one in control, but Payton had changed all that.

  “Reina, I love the way you respond to me.”

  Reina smiled and took her hand, leading her to the bed. Without a word she removed Payton’s bra and panties and pushed her gently onto her back on t
he bed. Settling her body on top of Payton’s, she began kissing her with long drawn out kisses. Payton could feel the heat course through her body as she reveled in the feel of Reina’s body on hers, Reina’s thigh pushed between Payton’s, forcing her legs apart so Reina’s hips could settle on hers. Payton could barely breathe, as Reina’s hands and mouth were everywhere. She covered Payton’s breasts with kisses until Payton was all but begging for release. Reina’s hips slid from side to side until Payton could feel an orgasm well up inside her. As her body shivered, Reina’s fingers found her wet and waiting, and slid into Payton slowly. Payton reacted immediately to her touch, her hips slamming against Reina’s. Crying quietly with pleasure, Payton found Reina’s mouth as her orgasm increased in intensity.

  Stroking Payton rapidly, Reina whispered, kissing her, “Come for me, love.”

  Payton’s body exploded with pleasure as she undulated under Reina, no longer in control. Wave after wave spread through her body. Reina held her tightly.

  “Reina.” Payton looked up at the beautiful face above hers and was overwhelmed. Tears slipped from her eyes as she hid her face against Reina’s.

  “Honey, it’s all right,” Reina soothed her, kissing and licking the tears away.

  “I love you.”

  “I love you.”

  They lay in each other’s arms for several minutes, savoring the closeness. “Payton, this has been overwhelming,” Reina admitted, kissing her gently.

  “I know.” Payton grinned. “I think I’m going to have to make love to you again, just to make sure it’s real.”

  “I think that’s a perfect idea.” Reina laughed as she rubbed her breasts against Payton’s.

  “In fact, it might take me all night to be convinced.” Payton’s eyes glistened with pleasure and humor and she rolled Reina over onto her back.

  “Then we’d better get started.” Reina’s lips met Payton’s again as their passion for each other flared. Payton’s mouth and tongue cov¨ered every inch of Reina’s body until Reina was once again shivering with pleasure.

  “Please,” Reina pleaded, as Payton’s tongue tasted her again and again. Reina’s hips rose up to meet Payton’s mouth, an orgasm shim¨mering through her body and exquisite pleasure flooded her senses. “Payton!” She cried out.
