Chapter Four

It was Monday and Kim was back in her office on the Psych floor. She and Jess had planned to meet for lunch but it was already after 12 o’clock and she hadn’t heard from Jess. She wondered if Jess was brushing her off after the incident on their date Saturday, having no intention of calling her again. She sat trying to decide if she should call down to the ER. The phone rang, interrupting her thoughts. "Dr. Donovan."

"Hey Kim, sorry I didn’t call earlier, we’ve been swamped down here," Jess apologized.

Kim could hear the noise in the background; people yelling, the banging of equipment. She felt the knot she didn’t realize she had in her stomach release. Jess wasn’t ignoring her. She really was busy.

"I’m sorry I can’t make lunch today, maybe tomorrow? Jess asked hopefully.

"No problem Jess. Thanks for calling and letting me know. We’ll try again tomorrow." Kim heard renewed yelling in the background.

"I have to run. Talk to you tomorrow."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kim sank down in her chair frustrated. She’d tried for several days to connect with Jess. They hadn’t managed to exchange more than a few words over the phone all week. When one was free the other was busy. It was maddening.

Kim heard a commotion out in the hall. She stepped out of her office to see what was going on. Chris Roberts was standing at the nurses station ranting.

"I can’t work with that woman. I’m a Staff Psychiatrist damn it, not one of her residents. Where does she get off lecturing me in front of residents? You need to arrive in a timelier manner for your Psych consults Dr. Roberts." Chris mimicked Jess’s husky voice and stern posture.

"It’s not like I don’t have other things to do than to cater to her damn ER."

Chris noticed Kim leaning against the end of the nurse’s station.

"You’re the ER Liaison Kim. You have to talk to that woman. I won’t be treated like a resident."

"Why weren’t you in the ER? Aren’t you assigned to ER Rotation this week? How long did it take you to answer their page Chris?" Kim questioned him.

Chris looked sheepish and refused to meet Kim’s eyes. "Over an hour," He finally admitted.

"What was the patient doing all that time?"

"Umm… he was in restraints, sorta ranting about things he was seeing. They didn’t want to sedate him ‘til I got there," Chris explained.

Kim looked puzzled at this. "Why wouldn’t they sedate him?"

"Well…" Chris looked embarrassed. "I might’ve hollered at them last time for sedating someone before I got there. I told them if they wanted my help they weren’t to sedate them ‘til I arrived."

Kim shook her head in dismay. "And you’re mad that Dr. McKenna called you on leaving a screaming patient in her ER for over an hour? What exactly do you want me to talk to her about?" She asked sarcastically.

"Come on Kim, you worked down there. That woman is impossible. I don’t want to be assigned to the ER any more."

"OK Chris, tell you what, tomorrow is Friday. You finish out this week and I’ll take your ER rotation for next week. You take my group sessions."

"Can’t you take tomorrow too?" Chris whined.

"No. I already told my group I’d be here for their session. And Chris, stay down in the ER like you are supposed to, not up here catching up on your paperwork."

"Ok, you win. I’ll be down in the ER if anyone wants me." He sighed resignedly.

Kim was already planning a solution to this problem. The next quarterly Staff meeting was only two weeks away. She headed for Philip’s office intending to talk him into her plan and put her on the agenda for the meeting.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was Friday. Kim hadn’t managed to see Jess all week. It was almost 1:00 and Kim had Group at 2:00. Looked like she was going to miss lunch with Jess again. Every time she thought she was going to be free, some other problem came up. The phone rang just as she picked it up to call the ER to cancel. "Dr. Donovan."

"Hi there stranger. Long time no see." Kim smiled brightly just hearing Jess’s voice. "Have time for lunch today?" Jess inquired.

"I’m sorry Jess. It’s one already and I have Group at two." Kim apologized.

"How about a quick sandwich? I’ll bring it to you." Jess persisted.

Kim could tell Jess really wanted to see her. She wanted to see Jess just as bad.

"Sure, that would be great. I’ll be in my office."

"See you soon." Jess responded happily.

Kim didn’t have long to wait before she heard someone in the outer office. Jess was standing in the middle of the room looking around.

"Nice place you have here though the furniture could use some help." Jess kidded, pointing to the group of plastic chairs.

Kim came over and grabbed Jess by the arm, practically dragging her into her private office. Jess pushed the door shut with her foot. She held up a bag Kim hadn’t noticed.

"Lunch, as promised." she smiled.

Kim took the bag from Jess setting it on her desk. She immediately stepped into Jess’s arms enveloping her in a tight hug. "I missed you this week," Kim stated emphatically.

Jess’s arms tightened around Kim, pulling her closer. She lowered her lips to meet Kim’s in a passionate kiss. When the kiss finally ended Kim was breathless.

"I missed you too Kim."

Lunch forgotten, they headed for the couch. They began to kiss and gently caress each other. Kim remembered what happened the last time they’d been in this position. She made sure to let Jess take the lead. Kim ran her hands up and down Jess’s muscled back. When they finally came up for air both women were breathing fast. Jess’s eyes had turned bluish silver. Kim could see the desire in them. Jess leaned in gently lowering Kim down onto her back. Jess laid on her side half on top of Kim. Taking her in a heated kiss she slid her tongue deeply into Kim’s mouth. Her hand slid down pulling Kim’s shirt out of her pants. She slipped her hand under the shirt and caressed the warm soft skin she found. Jess continued to kiss her deeply as her hand worked its way further up cupping her breast through her bra. Kim moaned into Jess’s mouth at the contact. Jess shifted positions moving further on top of Kim, sliding her thigh between her legs.

Through the haze of the passion, Kim thought she heard someone in the outer office.

"Jess wait." Jess was so caught up touching Kim she didn’t hear her. "Jess stop!" louder this time pushing on her shoulders.

Kim was surprised at the reaction she got. Jess jerked her hands back like she’d been burned. She retreated to the other end of the couch looking upset, like she’d done something wrong.

"I thought I heard someone in the outer office." Kim explained.

Kim got up and went to the door. She listened and then made sure the door was locked. She came back over to the couch and sat next to Jess resting her hand on her thigh. Jess made no attempt to touch her.

"Hey, I only said stop because I thought I heard someone. Not stop I didn’t like what you were doing."

Jess still looked a little uncertain. Kim got up and stood in front of Jess. She sat back down straddling Jess’s lap. Jess looked up surprised. Kim smiled.

"Now where were we before we were so rudely interrupted?" Kim asked huskily.

Kim kissed Jess, licking her lips asking for entrance. Jess groaned as Kim’s tongue slipped into her mouth. Jess put her hands back under Kim’s shirt kneading her breasts. Things started to heat up again, but this time they both heard it. Someone was in the outer office. Jess growled in frustration. She glanced up at the clock, it was almost 2pm.

"I guess I better get out of here before your Group arrives."

The door handle suddenly rattled.

"Kim, are you in there? Group will be here in a few minutes."

Kim still straddling Jess’s lap answered. "I’ll be out in a few minutes Brenda. Please set everything up."

Kim kissed Jess one last time hugging her tightly before getting up to tuck her shirt back in. She headed to her bathroom to fix her lipstick. Jess stuck her head in the door to say goodbye. Kim saw Jess was now wearing her lip color. Jess didn’t wear lipstick.

"I think you better wash that off before you head to the ER, it’s just not your color." Kim teased.

Jess peered in the mirror seeing the lipstick smeared all over and grimaced. "Great, that would start the rumor mill running."

The door rattled again. Kim opened it to find Brenda waiting. "Everything ok? You ready for Group?"

"Yes, I’ll be right there."

Brenda’s eyes suddenly widened. Kim turned to see what had caught her attention. Jess stepped out of Kim’s bathroom the hair around her face slightly damp. Brenda saw Jess’s flushed face then noticed for the first time how flushed Kim appeared. She broke into a huge grin, laughing outright when both women blushed.

"Thanks for bringing lunch Jess. I’ll see you later."

Jess said her goodbyes and quickly exited.

Brenda strolled further into Kim’s office. "So she brought you lunch huh? How was it?"

"It was really good." Kim replied absently, her mind still focused on the events on the couch.

Brenda just couldn’t resist teasing Kim. "Well, since it’s still sitting on your desk, I can’t help but wonder what you actually HAD for lunch."

Kim blushed hotly. The outer door banged open and her Group filed in. "Oh Group’s here, gotta go." she practically ran out of her office.

"Details Girl, I am going to want details!" Brenda warned as she headed back to the nurses desk.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kim was finishing up her paperwork for the week. Since she was covering the ER next week she needed to finish up all her Group patient charts to turn over to Chris. She dropped the files off in Chris’s office then headed to the ER hoping to touch base with Jess before she left.

She found her in the Staff lounge with Peter Blankenship reviewing charts. "Hey Jess, got a minute?" Jess looked up smiling brightly. Peter looked on in amazement. He’d never seen the ER Chief smile like that in the two years he’d been here. He couldn’t blame her though, Kim was incredibly beautiful. He still hadn’t convinced her to go out with him but he knew it was just a matter of time.

"Sure what can I do for you?"

Kim glanced at Peter. She was unsure about making personal plans with Jess in front of a resident. Jess noticed her glance.

"Dr. Blankenship, we are done here for now. Take a break we’ll finish up later."

Peter got up but made no attempt to leave. He hoped to have a chance to ask Kim out again. He poured himself a cup of coffee, getting ready to settle on the couch. Jess stopped him before he could sit down.

"Go check the board and see if any patients are waiting to be seen."

"But it’s my break…" Peter started to whine.

"Go now doctor!" Peter got the hint and quickly exited.

"So what’s up, you done for the day?"

"Yes, wanted to see if you and Thor were going to the dog park and jogging tomorrow?"

"Planned on it, want to come with us?" Jess asked hopefully.

‘"That would be great Jess."

"OK how about this time we meet at my place? We can take the Durango over together."

"Sounds good. I’ll be at your place around 10:00." Kim smiled down at Jess, happy at the thought of spending the day together away from the hospital.

Jess got up from the table and approached Kim. "We’ll be waiting."

Kim wanted to kiss Jess goodbye but knew this was neither the time nor the place. She settled for reaching out and squeezing her hand. Jess squeezed back smiling. Jess licked her lips causing Kim take an involuntary step forward.

"I want to kiss you so bad right now." Kim told her.

"I know but we can’t." Jess sighed in disappointment.

"I better get out of here before I give the gossip mongers something to gossip about." Kim laughingly told her.

Jess walked out the ambulance bay doors with Kim. As they reached the outside of the building Jess looked around, then quickly pulled Kim into the shadows. She glanced around one last time before she took Kim into her arms for a kiss. Breaking away after just a few moments… "See you tomorrow," she whispered against Kim’s lips. Before Kim could react, she was gone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kim stood outside Jess’s door waiting for her to answer. She could hear Thor inside barking. The door opened and the big dog rushed out almost knocking Jess over.

"Hey, big guy I’m glad to see you too." Kim told the dog giving him a hug. Kim finally looked up to see Jess’s pouting face.

"What about me, aren’t you glad to see me too?" Jess questioned playfully.

Kim laughed and pulled Jess in for a deep kiss. By the time the kiss ended Jess was panting.

"Wow!" Jess looked a little dazed.

"Does that answer your question?" Kim teasingly inquired.

Jess tugged Kim inside without answering. She pulled her into a tight hug and led her over to the couch. She lowered Kim down onto the couch positioning herself on top of her, sliding one leg between her thighs and pressing into her center. She marveled at how perfectly they fit together. Kim’s hips bucked up into Jess trying to deepen the contact. Jess took her lips in another deep kiss keeping pressure against her center rocking her hips slightly. As her hand slid up to cup Kim’s breast, Thor trotted over pushing his nose between the two women. Jess looked up.

"Go Away!" The big dog refused and licked Jess’s face.

Jess put her head down hiding her face in Kim’s neck. "Make him go away," She whimpered.

Kim just laughed and pulled Jess into a tighter hug. "Let’s go. I know you promised him the park."

As soon as the word park was out of Kim’s mouth, Thor began to dance around pushing the women trying to get them up off the couch.

"Now see what you did," Jess complained from her spot against Kim’s neck.

Kim pushed against Jess’s greater weight still laughing. Jess grudgingly got up.

The park and jog had been fun. It felt good to be together outside the hospital, away from prying eyes. They’d stopped for lunch at an outdoor Mexican restaurant that had allowed Thor to come with them. He lay quietly by their table as they ate. All and all it had been an exceedingly pleasant day.

Jess invited Kim inside after returning from lunch. Both women wanted to continue being together. Neither wanted the day to end.

"How about I give you the grand tour? You really haven’t seen much of the house except for the living room and of course the couch." Jess teased wiggling her eyebrows. She laughed when Kim blushed. "Come on, let me show you around."

Jess showed Kim through the house. They started in the kitchen. "I had this redone when I moved in," Jess told her as they entered the kitchen. The kitchen had solid oak cabinets and Corian counter tops. There was a center island with a work area and second sink on one side. The other side had a counter top that extended out. Bar stools fit under it, creating an eating area.

"It used to have a small kitchen table but when I had it redone I went with more cabinets and added the center island with the breakfast bar."

Next they moved on to the first bedroom; it was outfitted as an office with part of the room being taken up by weights and a weight bench. There was a full bath off the hall. The last room at the end of the hall was Jess’s master bedroom.

Here again the furniture was mission oak. The huge California king bed had a slatted head and footboard. The room was wallpapered in blue and white stripes with a boarder going along the top. The carpet was a deep blue. The room also had its own private bath.

"The house is just beautiful Jess." Kim complimented as they made their way back to the kitchen.

"Let me show you out back." Jess led Kim out a door she hadn’t noticed before.

It led out to a large fenced deck. There were several comfortable chaise lounges as well as a gas grill. A six-foot fence extended all the way around the patio, four feet of solid fence topped by two feet of lattice.

"It’s very private out here as you can see."

Jess walked to a gate set in the fence opening it. Thor immediately ran out into what Kim could now see was a small fenced yard.

"This is why," Jess said. She led Kim over to a large Jacuzzi. It had its own small redwood deck surrounding it. Kim looked at the fencing realizing it would be almost impossible for someone to see into the patio or Jacuzzi. She looked over at Jess. She was wearing that little half smirk Kim had become wary of.

"Care to go for a dip?" Jess inquired, arching one eyebrow.

"I don’t have a suit."

"Not a problem for me." Jess mock leered at Kim.

"Maybe next time."

Jess looked disappointed but acquiesced. She noticed it was getting late.

"What do you say to ordering some takeout?"

"Sounds good. Chinese?" Kim suggested.

The Chinese food was quickly ordered and delivered. The two women sat at the kitchen breakfast bar eating. Kim noticed Jess kept shifting around in her seat.

"What’s the matter Jess?"

"Oh, my back is just tight. I think I might’ve wrenched it trying to restrain a patient on Friday. It’s no big deal, just tight."

"I’m very good at massages, how about I give you one? It’ll make your back feel much better." Kim offered.

Jess hesitated. She wanted Kim to touch her but worried she might not be able to control her reactions."

Kim wasn’t sure what was making Jess hesitate. "Come on Jess, you can trust me," she encouraged.

"Ok, sounds good." Jess accepted with a hesitant smile.

They headed back into the living room where Jess placed the Indian blanket out on the floor. She lay down on her stomach.

"Is this ok?" Jess questioned, indicating her position.

"Great." Kim knelt down and began to massage her back. Jess’s shirt bunched up hindering the massage. Kim stopped suddenly, "Take your shirt off."

Jess arched an eyebrow at Kim. "Excuse me?"

"Take your shirt off Jess. It’s in the way. I can’t do a good massage with it on." Kim was so matter of fact, Jess sat up to comply.

She couldn’t resist playing Kim a little, knowing it was safe. Jess wiggled her eyebrows at Kim as she slowly, teasingly began to unbutton her shirt. She took her time making a show of it. She could see it was starting to have an effect on Kim. Her eyes were locked on Jess’s slowly emerging chest. Finally with one final flourish Jess pulled her shirt completely off, tossing it over to the chair. She had on a sports bra underneath. She laughed at Kim’s flushed face.

Kim admired the body before her. She noted the muscled shoulders and arms as well as the well-defined chest and abdominal muscles. Jess’s breasts were small compared to Kim’s. Kim wished she’d taken off the bra as well so she could see them. She forced her thoughts back to safer ground. Blushing when she realized she had been staring at Jess. She reached out playfully to smack Jess’s hard stomach. "Lay back down you big goof!" she commanded. Jess laughingly complied.

Kim ran her hands all over Jess’s muscled back, kneading and massaging the tight muscles. Jess groaned in appreciation. Kim’s hands felt wonderful. Kim suddenly straddled Jess’s hips causing her to stiffen in reaction.

"You ok? I was just having trouble reaching."

"Sure, I’m ok." Jess didn’t sound ok but her body relaxed under Kim so she continued the massage.

As Kim continued to rub Jess’s back she couldn’t help but marvel at the muscles under her hands. Each time she leaned forward her center rubbed against Jess. She found herself becoming aroused. She quickly finished the massage sliding over to lie next to Jess still lightly running her hand over her back.

Jess turned onto her side facing Kim. "Thank you. That felt wonderful. I can’t remember the last time someone rubbed my back."

"Anytime." Kim assured her.

Jess reached out to Kim, bringing their bodies into full contact and gently kissing her. Jess deepened the kiss, rolling Kim onto her back. She began to stroke the front of Kim’s body while continuing to kiss her. Kim, already aroused, responded as Jess pushed up her shirt and sports bra making contact for the first time with her bare breasts. Kim moaned as Jess kneaded her breast, gently rolling her nipple between her fingers before lowering her mouth to take the now hard bud into her mouth.

"Oh Jess, that feels wonderful." Kim groaned her arousal increasing.

Jess began to alternate lavishing both breasts with attention. When Jess’s hand slid down Kim’s abdomen and inside her pants Kim came to her senses realizing just how far things had gone. She reached down taking hold of Jess’s wrist, stopping her before she could reach her goal. Jess looked up. Kim could see she was warring with her desire, trying to control herself.

"What’s wrong?" Jess asked. She had stopped but her hand was still in Kim’s pants.

"We need to talk Jess."

"Now?" Jess asked incredulously.

"Now Jess, before we go any further." Kim insisted.

Jess sighed and pulled her hand out of Kim’s pants sitting up. It was obvious she was aroused and frustrated. Jess raked her hands through her hair. Kim pulled herself together, pulling her shirt and bra back into place. Jess put her shirt back on and offered her a hand up and they took up positions opposite each other on the leather couch.

Neither woman spoke. Kim knew this was up to her. She’d stopped them and she needed to tell Jess why.

"You know I want you to make love to me… right?" Kim began. Jess just shrugged. "Well in case you don’t, I very much want you to make love to me."

"Then why’d you stop me?" Jess blurted out.

"Because I want so much more than that Jess. More than just sex. I want that to be clear so there’s no misunderstanding."

Jess didn’t say anything but it was clear she was upset. Just when Kim thought she wasn’t going to say anything she finally spoke up.

"You heard all the gossip about me at the hospital. You think I just want to take you to bed, and then dump you… right?" Jess accused angrily.

"Yes, I’ve heard the gossip. I don’t know what you want or expect from this Jess. That’s why I stopped us. I need to know how you feel, what you want. I don’t want to get hurt again. Please understand," Kim pleaded.

Jess struggled with what to say, this was new to her. She’d never felt like this with anyone before.

"This is all new to me Kim. You make me feel things, want things I never have before. I care about you. I don’t want a casual fling either. I just don’t know how to be in a relationship," Jess admitted sadly.

"I thought you were together with Myra for six months?"

"Oh Christ! You know about that too? Damn hospital, it’s like a fish bowl. Who told you?"

"Doesn’t matter Jess, answer the question please."

Jess sighed, "Myra and I never had a relationship except in her mind. We casually dated off and on for six months. It was just sex, at least to me. She kept pressuring me to let her move in, have a full-time relationship. I told her no. I didn’t want that and she broke it off."

"What about now Jess, what do you want?" Kim asked softly.

Jess looked deep into Kim’s eyes as she answered "You."

Kim felt her heart soar at that simple declaration. She scooted over until she was right next to Jess. She leaned over kissing her deeply.

"I want you too Jess, not just your body but all of you, heart and soul."

Jess looked scared. "I want that too Kim, but I’m scared. Scared of what I feel for you, scared of what you make me feel." Jess’s voice shook slightly with emotion.

"Oh Jess, it’s ok to be scared, I’m scared too. I care so much for you after only knowing you for six weeks. It’s all happened very fast but it feels so right."

"It does feel right but it isn’t going to be easy," Jess warned. "I have other issues that complicate things, but I want to work things out. I want to have a real relationship with you."

"Then we’re agreed, we both want a relationship and not just a fling." Kim confirmed. Jess was at the end of her tolerance for all the serious talk. She decided to lighten the mood.

"Yes, we’re agreed, the next time I have my hand down your pants you won’t stop me!" She laughingly told Kim.

"JESS!" Kim shrieked, slapping her playfully on the thigh.

Kim realized Jess had reached her limit with all the serious talk. She was relieved to know that she felt the same way. Jess pulled Kim into her arms hugging her tightly.

"Yes, we’re agreed." Jess assured her, seriously this time.

Both women were feeling emotionally vulnerable after their talk, so they decided to snuggle on the couch watching the movie Jess had rented.

It was getting late and the movie was over. The two women were entwined together on the couch. Neither one spoke, they just enjoyed being together.

Kim stifled a yawn for the second time. "It’s late. I guess I should be heading home."

"I don’t want you to go." Jess confessed softly.

"I don’t want to go either Jess, but we’re both tired." Kim got up from the couch gathering her stuff.

"How about dinner tomorrow, you could bring your suit over and we can get in the Jacuzzi?" Jess asked.

"If I bring my suit are you going to behave?" Kim questioned.

"Hmmm… let me think… Nope." Jess’s little half smirk appeared on her face.

Kim just laughed as Jess escorted her to the door. As they lovingly embraced Kim reached up and kissed Jess gently. "I’ll see you tomorrow."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kim was nervously pacing in her bedroom. She was due over at Jess’s in an hour. She was debating with herself. Should she pack some clothes in addition to her swimsuit? She really didn’t know what to expect. Would Jess ask her to spend the night? Finally deciding on just a swimsuit and robe she headed for Jess’s.

Dinner was wonderful. Jess had made spaghetti, both women eating more than they should. The conversation had been relaxed and playful. Kim really felt they’d crossed some type of barrier by admitting their feelings for each other. They decided on a movie while they digested and the Jacuzzi heated.

"Ready to get into your suit?" Jess asked.

"Sure. Lead the way."

They both headed into Jess’s bedroom to change. As Kim stripped off her shirt and lowered her jeans she noticed Jess hadn’t moved and was staring at her. Standing in her bra and panties she waited until Jess’s eyes finally made it to her face.

Jess blushed, "Sorry couldn’t help myself."

She quickly picked up her suit and headed into the bathroom. By the time Jess returned Kim was already changed and had her robe on. Jess was dressed in a one-piece black Speedo and had a robe over her arm. It was Kim’s turn to stare admiring Jess’s body in the tight suit. Jess broke the spell when she shrugged into her robe.

"Let’s go," she told Kim as she grabbed her hand heading for the door. "Or we’ll never leave this room."

The Jacuzzi was hot and inviting. Jess quickly shed her robe sitting on the side of the spa with just her legs hanging in. She watched as Kim removed her robe. She was wearing a two-piece bikini, its dark blue color brought out the color of her eyes. Jess couldn’t help herself her eyes travel over the beautiful woman in front of her.

"You are gorgeous," she said breathlessly.

She slipped into the water waiting for Kim to join her. Kim blushed at the compliment joining Jess in the spa.

They sat relaxing in the hot water. It wasn’t long before Jess moved over next to Kim and started to kiss her ear then moving down her neck. Kim tipped her head back offering her more area to caress. Jess lifted her head to kiss Kim deeply, licking her lips asking for entrance. Kim opened her mouth, her tongue meeting Jess’s. They continued to kiss passionately for several long minutes. Jess pulled Kim into her lap so she was facing her, straddling her thighs. She began kissing down her cleavage. When she reached the edge of Kim’s suit she ran her tongue under the material. Kim’s back arched offering her breasts to Jess. Jess started to lower Kim’s swimsuit straps but stopped when she felt Kim stiffen.

"What’s wrong Kim?"

Kim looked around the deck. "Are you sure no one can see in?" She questioned apprehensively.

"I’m positive, the deck is raised several feet off the ground and the fence is another six feet tall on top of that." Jess assured her.

Kim relaxed back into Jess’s arms. Jess kissed her neck until she felt her completely relax. Jess went back to Kim’s swimsuit straps lowering first one then the other as she continued to place open mouthed kisses on her neck and chest. As she lowered the top of the suit she paused to admire the beautiful sight before her. Kim’s breasts were full and beautifully shaped; the nipples were already hard from excitement and exposure to the cool air. Jess brought both hands up massaging Kim’s breasts gently rolling the nipples between her fingers. Kim’s back arched pressing herself into Jess’s hands. Jess slowly lowered her mouth to replace her fingers. She teased the nipple with her tongue before sucking the whole thing into her mouth. Kim moaned and her hands went to the back of Jess’s head holding her in place. Jess caressed first one breast then the other alternating back and forth. Kim’s hips rocked against Jess’s stomach. Jess took her hand off Kim’s breast and ran it down her abdomen into the top of her bikini bottoms. As she slipped under the material she stopped, looking up at Kim waiting to see if she was going to stop her again as she had last night. Kim looked at Jess with passion filled eyes and simply nodded her head. Jess slid her hand the rest of the way into Kim’s suit groaning at the slick wetness she encountered that had nothing to do with the water. Kim moaned at the contact as her hips bucked into Jess’s hand. Jess lightly stroked Kim as she returned to suckling her breasts. As Kim’s hips began to rock rhythmically Jess suddenly stopped pulling her hand out of Kim’s suit.

Kim groaned in protest. "Why’d you stop?"

"I want to taste you."

Kim felt a renewed throbbing between her legs at Jess’s words.

Jess lifted Kim out of the Jacuzzi sitting her on the side. Once Kim was seated Jess took hold of her swimsuit bottom pulling it down. Kim lifted her hips up to help. Kim removed her top and placed it next to the rest of her suit. Jess gazed at the naked woman sitting before her. She reached out putting a hand on the inside of each of Kim’s knee’s gently spreading her legs. She looked down at the treasure offered her, then up into Kim’s eyes. Kim’s breath hitched at the fire she saw burning in Jess’s eyes. Jess knelt on the spa seat between Kim’s spread legs. She continued to kiss and caress her until Kim’s hips started to move again. Jess couldn’t wait any longer. She lowered her head for her first taste.

"Oh God Jess." Kim moaned loudly at the first touch of Jess’s tongue.

It’d been awhile since Kim had been with anyone and Jess aroused her as no one else ever had. She knew she wasn’t going to last long. Jess continued to lick and suck the area between Kim’s legs. She felt Kim’s legs start to tremble, spreading her legs further open she dipped down and thrust inside her with her tongue pumping rhythmically. Kim couldn’t take anymore. She exploded, her body arching with the strength of her climax. Jess heard Kim call out her name as she released. Jess continued to lightly stroke Kim with her tongue until the last of the tremor ceased. She pulled her down into the water cradling her in her arms. It took several minutes for Kim to recover and she finally lifted her head.

"That was incredible Jess."

Jess smiled, hugging her tighter. "I’m glad."

After Kim had recovered she eased out of Jess’s arms. She knelt on the seat beside her and started kissing her neck. When she reached out to lower the straps of Jess’s suit Jess stopped her.

"Let’s go inside," Jess murmured huskily.

Kim grabbed her robe and Jess picked up her towel. They headed inside never stopping until they reached the side of Jess’s bed. Kim stepped forward and lowered Jess’s suit. She peeled the material down her body kneeling down to help her out of the suit. Her eyes immediately went to the neatly trimmed patch of thick hair right in front of her face. She couldn’t resist, she leaned forward running her tongue between Jess’s legs for a quick taste. Jess’s hips bucked in her face. Jess quickly leaned down bringing Kim to her feet. She slipped the robe off her shoulders and onto the floor. Pulling Kim into her arms their naked bodies made full contact for the first time. Both women groaned at the sensation.

Jess lowered Kim down into the bed coming to rest on top of her. She slipped her thigh between Kim’s legs making contact with her center. Kim’s hips bucked up into Jess. Jess began to kiss and caress Kim. Before Jess could go any further Kim stopped her.

"Jess, it’s my turn this time. I need to touch you too."

Kim shocked Jess, quickly flipping her over onto her back and sliding on top. The second the body under her went stiff Kim realized her mistake. Jess didn’t like to be on her back. Kim quickly moved off of Jess onto her side pulling Jess onto her side to face her.

"I’m so sorry Jess, I forgot about that." Kim apologized.

Jess was still reeling from the surge of panic being pinned on her back had created.

"It’s ok," Jess reassured her as she began to calm down.

Kim stroked the front of Jess’s body while kissing her deeply. When Kim’s hand glided down her stomach heading south, Jess stopped her.

"What’s wrong Jess?" Kim asked sensing the sudden tension.

Jess seemed uncertain, not wanting to meet Kim’s eyes. This was so different for her than all her previous sexual encounters. She was always very up-front with her partners. She was in charge, giving them pleasure and taking hers in return. She controlled the encounter and they accepted it. The women she’d been with had rarely touched her. The few times she’d allowed it, she’d been unable to climax.

Jess had never discussed this with Kim. The truth was she wanted Kim to touch her, she just wasn’t sure if she could let her. Kim was getting worried, Jess seemed so far away retreating into herself.

"Jess, are you alright? What’s wrong?" Jess heard the fear and worry in Kim’s voice.

She knew she was going to have to tell the truth or at least part of it. Jess finally met Kim’s eyes. Kim was shocked to see she looked ashamed.

"Whatever it is Jess you can tell me. You can trust me." Kim assured her.

Jess looked down. "I need to be the one in control. I want you to touch me but I don’t know if I can let you."

Kim lifted Jess’s chin forcing their eyes to meet. Jess was afraid to look into Kim’s eyes knowing the disgust she would see. Kim waited patiently until Jess finally met her eyes. Jess was amazed, when she saw compassion and understanding in Kim’s eyes.

"It’s really ok Jess, whatever you need. I have something I’d like to try. If you get uncomfortable, I’ll stop. Ok?"

"Ok." Jess hesitantly agreed. "But promise, no penetration."

"I promise Jess. If you get the least bit uncomfortable tell me and I’ll stop."

Kim got Jess to recline against the headboard so she was partially sitting up. She knelt next to Jess’s hip facing her. She lightly kissed Jess, starting at her lips working her way down her neck. She gently sucked her pulse point. She continued, never going below the tops of Jess’s breasts until she fully relaxed and started to respond. Kim picked up one of Jess’s hands putting it over top of hers. She gently placed her hand on one of Jess’s breasts. Leaning slightly forward she whispered to Jess.

"Show me what you like, how to touch you." Jess applied pressure to Kim’s hand guiding it, using Kim’s fingers to roll her nipple and knead her breast. Kim smiled when Jess’s breath picked up. Kim brought up her other hand and began to treat the other breast the same way. Soon Jess’s eyes closed her head going back as the pleasure she was feeling increased. She removed her hand from Kim’s leaving Kim’s in place. Kim placed kisses across Jess’s breasts before going lower taking one of her nipples into her mouth. When Kim’s mouth made contact with Jess’s nipple she moaned loudly her hand coming up to cup the back of Kim’s head pressing her into her breast.

Kim continued to pleasure Jess’s breasts until she felt her hips begin to rock. Again she picked up one of Jess’s hands and guided their entwined hands down Jess’s abdomen. She leaned forward licking Jess’s ear, Jess groaned when she felt Kim’s hot breath in her ear.

"Spread your legs for me Jess." Jess never hesitated, her legs spread open. "Show me Jess, make me touch you." Kim urged.

Jess’s hips bucked as she guided Kim’s fingers, stroking, rubbing bringing herself closer to release. Kim felt Jess start to tremble. Jess’s eyes were tightly clenched, her head thrown back, panting for breath. Kim picked up the motion Jess had started sliding her fingers faster over the slicked nub. Kim could feel the increased tremors. She knew Jess was close.

"Come for me Jess," Kim whispered in Jess’s ear.

"Oh my God, KIM!"

That’s all it took. Jess climaxed, her whole body going rigid, her back arched off the bed. When Jess finally went limp Kim slid up next to her. She was dismayed to see tears flowing down Jess’s cheeks.

"Jess, what’s wrong? Oh sweetheart, did I hurt you?" Kim inquired with concern.

Kim placed soft kisses on Jess’s face. Slowly she opened dazed eyes to look at Kim.

"Did I hurt you?" Kim asked again.

Jess was having trouble finding her voice. Finally she responded, "No you didn’t hurt me, that was… that was… amazing. No one has ever done that to me before."

Kim looked at Jess in confusion. "No one has ever touched you?" Kim said still not quite sure what Jess was talking about.

"No, almost never and when they did I could never come."

"Oh Jess, thank you sweetheart." Kim hugged Jess tightly.

Jess was finally getting her equilibrium back. "What are you thanking me for? I should be thanking you."

"For trusting me, for letting me pleasure you."

"You’re welcome. It was my pleasure, believe me." Jess laughed.

As they cuddled together Jess felt herself drifting off. She tried to fight it but the sensations and emotions had just worn her out. Drifting off to sleep curled up with Kim; she felt a contentment she’d never known before.
