Thanks to Kat and Brunnhilda and their twisted minds for suggesting this story.

A very special thank you goes out to my beta reader Mountain Girl.

As always this is for Heather.

Penny slopped her way through the wet snow. "This sucks," she muttered with disgust as the watery mess seeped into her shoes. It hadn't been snowing when she left the house that morning. Then a few moments into her morning commute the squall emerged out of nowhere. Her fellow commuters were shocked by the first snowstorm of the winter. Not surprisingly traffic ground to a screeching halt. Due to poor visibility and scores of fender benders, Penny's normally one hour commute turned into five hours of sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic.

She grew more and more tense as she inched along listening to the morning radio talk about how slow the traffic was. When she finally arrived at the office her muscles ached and her boss who had somehow managed to be on time, was in a foul mood. "Look out the window Mike," she scolded him as he complained about everyone being late.

With almost the entire staff running several hours late the workday was arduous. The extended hours and her boss' foul mood turned Penny's day into an exercise in controlled mayhem. Just when she thought it was over, Mike informed her that she needed to deliver a package for him. He thought it wasn't a big deal since she was heading back up to North Shore. True she was heading north but not that far north.

After being trapped once again in bumper-to-bumper traffic she made her way around the tiny seaside town. She got lost several times trying to locate her destination. Finally, she discovered the street and the building she was seeking. She spent another twenty minutes searching for a parking space.

She blew out a sigh of relief when a space on the busy street finally opened up. She could feel the last of her energy draining as she struggled to maneuver her aging Toyota into the tiny parking space. She felt a sense of trepidation when her car sputtered and shook as she turned off the ignition. "Come on you just need to get me home," she pleaded as she rubbed the dashboard.

She was cradling the small package as she climbed out of the car, her shoes instantly filling with icy cold water when she stepped into the puddle that surrounded her car. She muttered a stream of curses under her breath as she trudged over to the parking meter. She read it carefully before checking her watch. "Figures," she hissed noting that she had another half an hour before the meters were free for the night. She fought to maintain her balance as she juggled the package while frantically searching her pockets for some change.

She released another curse when the only items she discovered in her coat pockets were an old Kleenex and a lint covered lifesaver, at least she hoped the fuzzy item was a lifesaver. She tossed the mysterious item to the ground not really wanting to discover its true identity. Penny glanced around quickly at the snow-covered street. It was getting late; surely no one would be checking the meters during the miserable conditions that surrounded her.

She decided to just deliver the package and be on her way. She grumbled bitterly as she slopped her way through the puddles and snow. "Had I known that it was going to be like this, I would have dressed for the occasion," she groused as a cold wind blew up her skirt.

The delivery of the package took only a few moments. Penny was relieved, but she did want to kick Mike's pompous butt when the man she delivered it to said that there really wasn't any hurry. There she was trudging back through the wet streets, being splashed by every passing car, freezing and praying that the heat in her car wouldn't decide to abandon her.

Penny's mantra during the trek back to her car was, "This sucks!" All she wanted was to be home in dry, warm clothing and snuggled under the covers sipping something warm. "You've got to be kidding me?" Penny sputtered when she spied the tall uniformed figure looking at her license plate and scribbling something on a notepad.

She increased her pace in a desperate effort to reach the dark figure in time. "Please," she whimpered in a pitiful manner as she approached the meter maid whose face she couldn't see. The woman wasn't as tall as she had thought, and her body and face were covered in a thick layer of navy blue clothing. Penny felt a pang of envy as she studied the woman's obviously warm uniform.

"I'm sorry Miss," came the muffled response as the woman tore the ticket from her pad.

"Peachy," Penny grunted as she furiously swiped her wet hair from her brow before snatching the ticket from the stunned officer's hand. Curious hazel eyes peered out from the thick wool scarf. Penny squirmed under the woman's scrutiny. There was something vaguely familiar in the meter maid's eyes.

Penny scrunched her brow trying to recall where she knew this woman. Then another icy breeze grasped her pantyhose forcing her to turn her attention back to getting home and out of the cold. "Okay," she said slowly as the meter maid's brow scrunched up.

"Have a nice day," the meter maid sputtered quickly.

"Too late," Penny muttered while she unlocked her car as the meter maid lingered by the car. She climbed into her car her body shivering from the cold. She watched in her rear view mirror as the meter maid slowly made her way down the street. "Now that was strange," she theorized as she shoved her key into the ignition.

She felt hopeful as she turned the key only to have her hopes come crashing down. "No!" She shouted when a dull clicking sound greeted her efforts. "I will not panic," she promised as she stroked the dashboard. "Come on Beulah," she cooed to her beloved car. Even Penny agreed that Beulah was an odd name for a car but it somehow fit the dilapidated vehicle. Stranger still she was completely convinced that by speaking nicely to her car would somehow coax it into starting.

After more sweet talk she tried once again to turn the key, only to have the car click in response. "Ugh!" She fumed as she banged her fists against the steering wheel. "You miserable piece of shit!" She was panting heavily as she tried to calm her weary nerves. "Okay, getting angry isn't the answer," she heaved as she once again tried in vain to get the car to start. "Oh, come on Beulah, Mommy is tired, cold, wet and cranky just start damn it," she raged as she kept turning the key.

The more she tried the more Beulah resisted, until even the faint click vanished. "I hate my life, I hate my life, I hate my life," she repeated as she shivered from the cold. Penny looked around at the now dark and empty streets. "Why?" She whimpered as the gravity of the situation struck her. The small blonde rifled through her bag in an effort to find something that might help get her out of the disastrous situation.

The only thing she discovered was that she had once again forgotten her wallet at home. She was already aware of this since it was the reason she didn't have lunch that afternoon and her cell phone needed to be charged. She could see her breath as she looked out the window hoping to find some sign of life or at least a telephone. It was late and everything seemed to be closed. "Why aren't there any payphones anymore?" She questioned as she stared at her dead cell phone and realized why payphones were quickly becoming a thing of the past.

She decided to give Beulah a few moments hoping that was what the tiny car needed. She kept a watchful eye out for a passer by, but apparently all of the sane people were inside where it was warm. Time passed slowly for the blonde who was cold, tired, and hungry and in urgent need of a rest room. She tried starting Beulah once again to no avail. The situation was grim as she tried to recall what she had passed during her drive through town that might provide aid or shelter.

Penny was on the verge of tears as she tried to decide which direction she should start walking. She sniffed as she glanced at her watch knowing that everything in town was closed at this hour. She had been sitting in the freezing night air for almost two hours feeling hopeless. She tried Beulah one last time before she decided it was time to brave the elements and hope for the best.

Penny was tightening her thin coat around her tiny body when a knock on the window startled her. She couldn't see outside since the windows had iced over. She sniffed when she pressed the button to lower the window. "No, power," she sniffed once again when she realized that she would have to open the door in order to found out who was knocking on the window.

"Please don't be an axe murderer, or at least kill me quickly," she sputtered as her teeth chattered while she reluctantly opened the car door. "Thank God," she exclaimed when she discovered the meter maid waiting for her. She gasped when the woman lowered her scarf revealing her face for the first time.

"Are you alright?" The woman asked with concern.

"Rita the meter maid," she absently responded as she recognized the stranger.

"A Beatles fan," Rita smiled. "I was wondering if you would remember me."

"I couldn't see your face earlier," Penny explained as a sudden rush of heat coursed through her body.

"You're Penny Nickerson right? We went to High School together?" Rita shyly continued.

"That's me," Penny stammered as the distant memory replayed in her weary mind.

"So, what seems to be the problem?" Rita asked as she peered into the car.

"You want a list?" Penny sniffed once again. The day had finally gotten to her and it was taking her last ounce of strength not to break down. Adding to her strife was her lovely savior. It was only one night when they were seventeen, but Penny never forgot what happened. "Beulah died," she finally managed to choke out.

"Beulah?" Rita questioned.

"My car," Penny tried to explain. "But with the way my day has been going I really shouldn't be surprised. First, I wasn't prepared for the snow, my boss was a jerk, I'm soaking wet, my cell phone is dead and I haven't eaten," she began to sob. 'And now I'm crying like a baby in front of the first girl I kissed,' she silently bemoaned.

"It is okay," Rita reassured her with a brilliant smile that made Penny's fragile heart skip a beat. "Do you have triple A?"

"Yes," Penny choked out. "But I left my wallet at home this morning."

"Not your day," Rita tried to tease the sobbing woman. "My Cherokee is parked right behind you," she explained as Penny craned her neck to see the large SUV with its motor running directly behind her car. "Why don't you climb inside and get warm. In fact climb in back there is a blanket and the heat is up full blast. I'll call a mechanic I know and trust and have you towed."

"Really?" Penny blubbered.

"Yes, really," Rita reassured her as she helped her out of the car and led her towards the dark SUV. "Where do you live?" The brunette asked as she helped the whimpering Penny into the back.

"Peabody," Penny sniffed as she wrapped herself up in the blanket.

"Oh," Rita grimaced before closing the door and walking around to the driver's side.

"I can't thank you enough," Penny chattered as her body trembled. The warmth of the car felt incredible yet her wet clothing kept the chill running through her.

"Not a problem," Rita sighed as she dialed her cell phone. "Hey Ted, its Rita . . ., I need a favor, a friend of mine broke down on Prospect Street and needs a tow."

Penny listened as Rita chatted with her friend. She smiled as she burrowed under the blanket thinking that Rita still had an amazing laugh. Penny had known the dark haired girl all through school, but they were never close until the night of the party Bobby Simmons threw when his parents went out of town one weekend. Penny had thought that the punch she was drinking was just punch. She was completely unaware that Scott, the little weasel, was adding a little something extra to her drink each time he would fetch her a new one.

Penny had no idea what was wrong with her when she suddenly discovered that she was inebriated and Scott was trying to lead her away from the party to one of the bedrooms upstairs. She was so disoriented that Scott almost succeeded until Rita stepped in. Rita was her hero that night, it was what happened later that changed Penny's world forever.

"I have good news and bad news," Rita sighed her sultry voice snapping Penny out of her thoughts.

"Do I want to hear this?" Penny winced.

"Well, the good news is Ted is going to tow your car to the shop," Rita brightly began. "I promised to leave the keys under the mat for him." Penny was grateful for the news but was more than a little curious as to just how she was going to be able to retrieve her car. "The bad news is the snow is getting worse and even with this big old clunker that I drive, I don't know if I can get you to Peabody tonight."

There was something about Rita's shy tone that Penny found positively endearing. "Oh?" Penny responded as she contemplated just where she was going to spend the evening.

"If you want," Rita shyly continued. "You can crash at my place; I don't live too far from here. Ted is going to call me when he knows what is wrong with your car. You might not get it back for a couple of days. I can drive you to work in the morning."

Penny's heart was pounding as she pondered the possibility of spending the night with Rita. "Again, my hero," she whispered absently.

"Yeah well," Rita stammered slightly through the darkness. Penny could have sworn she saw the taller woman blush. "I'll just take care of your keys and grab your stuff. Make yourself comfortable back there you must be chilled to the bone."

"Thank you," Penny sheepishly replied as Rita bolted out of the car.

Penny burrowed under the blanket shivering violently as she recalled the night of the party. Rita had grabbed her away from Scott who was very angry that she had interrupted his plans. She guided Penny into the laundry room and locked the door behind them.

She could still recall the way Rita held her tightly as she rubbed her back. "Are you alright?" Rita whispered as Penny nuzzled her face into the brunette's chest. Penny's body swayed as the alcohol confused her mind and body. There was something about the warmth of Rita's body and the faint aroma of her perfume that was making Penny feel very confused.

In her drunken stupor she began to drink in the scent of Rita's body while her hands began to caress the brunette's hips. "What are you doing?" Rita gulped as Penny's hands glided up along the supple curve of her body.

"Huh?" Penny slurred as she looked up into a pair of very confused hazel eyes. Suddenly she couldn't breathe or think she could only stare into Rita's eyes as her hands continued their exploration of the brunette's body. Before Penny could grasp what was happening she was kissing the taller girl.

She had no idea how they began kissing. The only thing she was conscious of was the feel of Rita's tongue invading her mouth and the way their hips began pressing against one another. Penny could still recall the whimper she released when Rita's thigh slipped between her legs. For the first time in her life Penny was aroused and she allowed her body to take over.

The kisses grew deeper as they gyrated against one another. Penny could feel the desire soaking through her underwear as she rocked against Rita's firm thigh. Her hips pounded harder as she felt Rita's hand cupping her breast. Her nipples hardened painfully as she was filled with a need that she didn't understand.

Just as suddenly as it began the kiss ended. Rita tore her soft lips away, although her hand remained on Penny's breast. "We shouldn't," Rita, stammered in a hushed whisper as they kept rocking against one another slowly. "I'm not like that," Rita tried to explain as Penny's muddled mind refused to listen. "Penny, you're drunk," the brunette tried to reason with her as Penny's nimble fingers began massaging Rita's ass.

The words finally seeped into her consciousness and Penny's hands stilled. "I'm sorry," she whimpered. "You hate me," she began to cry.

"No," Rita softly reassured her as they remained locked in a tight embrace. "You didn't know what you were doing. You're drunk."

"How did I get drunk?" Penny questioned completely mystified by the situation.

"Scott was spiking your drinks," Rita growled.

"Bastard," Penny slurred as she swayed slightly. She could feel the warmth spreading through her body as Rita tightened her hold on her.

"Why don't we sit down?" Rita suggested as she assisted the staggering Penny down onto the floor next to the washing machine.

Penny didn't think twice about snuggling up in Rita's embrace. She just enjoyed the feel of the brunette's hand caressing her shoulder. Penny leaned her head against Rita's chest as the room stopped spinning and listened to the sound of her heart beating. She began playing with the buttons on Rita's blouse while her companion kept caressing her shoulder.

She could feel her mind clearing ever so slightly as Rita's caresses drifted to her arm. While Rita's touch was turning from comfort to romance, Penny unbuttoned the top button on the brunette's blouse. She nudged the garment open and inhaled the delicate aroma of Rita's skin. She brushed her lips lightly against the exposed flesh eliciting a moan from her companion.

As Rita's fingers brushed lightly against the swell of her breast, Penny sensed what Rita wanted. The redhead had fanaticized about touching a woman before that moment; she just assumed that it was a silly fantasy she could never act upon. Perhaps it was the alcohol, or the way her skin tingled from Rita's touch, that led her to throw caution to the wind. She shifted her position so that she was straddling the brunette's body.

Rita's eyes widened with fear as Penny cupped the stunned girl's face in her hands. "You're a really good kisser," she offered in a breathy tone as she watched the rapid rise and fall of Rita's chest.

"So are you," Rita squeaked in response.

"You can," Penny offered as she leaned into Rita's body.

"We shouldn't," Rita feebly replied before Penny captured her lips.

Penny became lost in the fiery kiss as she felt Rita's hands caressing her stomach. "You can," she repeated with a labored breath as Rita's hands moved up her body. "I want you to."

"You've been drinking," Rita tried to argue as she filled her hands with the smaller girl's breasts. "I'd be taking advantage of you."

"I want you to," Penny huskily repeated as she arched her back pressing her breasts deeper into the brunette's hands. Rita was struggling to breathe as her eyes became locked on Penny's chest. "No one will know," she urged Rita on as she ground her center into the brunette's firm body.

"We shouldn't," Rita whimpered once again as she began to massage Penny's firm round breasts.

"Do you want to see them?" Penny asked with a hard swallow as her pelvis continued to brush against the brunette's body. Her head was pounding as she watched Rita wet her soft pink lips and nod her head. Penny's hips swayed slowly as she raised her arms above her head.

She could feel Rita trembling beneath her as she slowly lifted Penny's shirt. Penny never stopped grinding against her lover as her shirt was removed from her body. She felt a slight chill as her skin was revealed. Her body warmed instantly as Rita's hands began to touch her exposed flesh. "I can't help myself," Rita panted out her confession while her fingers traced the soft lace edges of Penny's bra. "I just love looking at women's breasts."

"Touch them," Penny encouraged while reaching behind her back and unclasping her bra. Rita released a throaty moan as Penny removed her bra and dropped it on the floor. The redhead's nipples hardened with anticipation as her lover's fingers drifted along her creamy white skin. Penny braced her hands against the washing machine as Rita's exploration expanded. As Rita's fingertips brushed against her nipples, Penny's body refused to remain idle as she thrust harder against the brunette.

Penny bit down on her lip stifling the scream that threatened to escape when she felt her lover's lips on her skin. Her jeans were damp with desire as Rita's tongue began to tease the erect buds. Her lip was beginning to swell as she bit it harder quieting the needy moans that were threatening to strangle her.

Penny's body began to thrust with urgency when Rita captured one of her nipples in her mouth. She thought she was going to explode when she felt the brunette suckling her. "I always wanted to do this," Rita panted against her skin.

Penny could only grunt in response as she felt Rita's fingers teasing the aching buds. "Tell me what you want?" Rita softly pleaded.

"I want to touch you," Penny choked out while her lover pinched and teased her nipples.

"Where?" Rita gasped as Penny ground harder against her.

Penny was struggling to breathe as she slowed the frantic rhythm of her hips and slipped her hand between their bodies. She swayed slightly her body quivering from the sensations coursing through her. She had to shift so she could reach her goal. "Here," she gasped as she slipped her hand between Rita's thighs and cupped her mound. She pressed the heel of her hand against the brunette's center.

Rita responded by wrapping her arms around Penny's back and drawing her breasts back to her eager lips. Penny struggled to remain on her knees while teasing her lover's clit. "Yes," Rita sighed against her skin before she began to suckle her once again.

"With my mouth," Penny timidly confessed as Rita teased her harder.

"Yes," Rita gasped.

"I want to lick you," Penny moaned as her lover's tongue teased her nipples.

"Yes," Rita repeated before she returned to feasting upon Penny's breasts.

Rita took her time playing with the smaller woman's nipples. With every flicker of the brunette's talented tongue Penny was certain that she was going to explode. Her thighs trembled as she felt the seam of her jeans rubbing against her clit. Hours seemed to pass as Rita fondled and tasted her.

Penny was struggling to breathe when her lover finally released her from her tender grasp. Her breasts were damp from her lover's mouth. She watched as Rita struggled to stand. Penny licked her dry lips as Rita leaned against the washing machine. Rita's eyes were glazed over as she gripped the edge of the machine and Penny knelt before her. The redhead caressed her hips before lowering the zipper on the brunette's faded blue jeans. "I've never done this before," she meekly confessed as she lowered Rita's jeans and underwear down her long legs.

"Neither have I," Rita choked out with a shallow breath.

The musky aroma of the brunette's desire made Penny's head spin. Carefully she brushed her fingers against the thick patch of hair. She smiled when she felt Rita's desire coating the tips of her fingers. She kissed the taller girl's thighs loving the feel of Rita quivering from her touch. She was nervous as she parted her lover. Slowly she lowered her head and dipped her tongue between the slick folds. She murmured with pleasure, as she tasted her lover for the first time.

Uncertain as to what she should do, she glided her tongue along the brunette's swollen lips drinking in the delightful nectar of her passion. She lapped up the over flowing juices until she felt the throbbing bundle pressing against her tongue. Rita moaned deeply when Penny teased the engorged nub. Penny teased it again and again each time rewarded by her lover's soft groans of pleasure.

When she captured it with her lips Rita's hips shot forward as she released a strangled cry. She suckled her harder as she looked up to find Rita with her head thrown back as she clutched the edge of the washing machine. She watched as Rita bit down on her lip in an effort to keep her pleasure silent.

Penny was on fire as she suckled her lover harder while Rita's body pressed harder against her. She clasped one of the brunette's hips with one hand as the other slipped between her thighs. She felt Rita's body trembling against her as she slipped inside of her warm wet center. Her own body was screaming for release as her fingers and mouth took Rita higher. The feel of Rita climaxing against her skin was so incredible that Penny didn't want to stop pleasuring the brunette. Penny could feel her own body trembling with excitement as Rita rocked against her touch.

Rita finally pried her body away from Penny's touch. "Holy Mother of . . .," the brunette gasped as she tried to steady her body. "That was amazing." The sounds of the party dying down reached them. Suddenly the both of them felt shy about what had just happened. "We should get going," Rita stammered as they began to get dressed. "You shouldn't drive, I'll give you lift." Penny simply nodded in agreement as they slipped out of the room and the party.

They rode in silence; Penny was a mass of confusion as she tried to understand what had happened. She looked over at Rita who was gripping the steering wheel. Not only had she indulged in something she had only dreamed about, she almost experienced her first orgasm simply by pleasuring another woman. Penny felt uncertain if it was the best thing that ever happened to her or the worst mistake she had ever made. She was filled with a sense of fear as she reached over and placed her hand on the brunette's thigh. The feel of firm muscles twitching beneath her touch renewed her desire.

She watched as Rita's breathing became ragged. Penny was terrified when Rita pulled the car over to a darkened parking lot and turned off the engine. Her first thought was the brunette was about to literally kick her to the curb. Instead Rita unhooked her seatbelt and turned to her. Penny was captivated by the look in the brunette's eyes. She quickly undid her own seatbelt and moved across the seat.

Their mouths met savagely as they began to make out. Rita lowered Penny's body down onto the seat never breaking the fiery kiss. Penny felt alive as she felt Rita's body covering her own. The brunette's hands quickly slipped up and under Penny's shirt. Penny moaned into the warmth of her lover's mouth as she felt her shirt and bra being pulled up until her breasts were once again exposed. "Oh my God," she gasped as Rita began to kiss her way down her body until she was once again feasting upon her breasts.

This time Rita's mouth continued to descend down along Penny's nimble body. The brunette kissed and tasted the redhead's skin as she unbuttoned her jeans. Penny was on fire as she lifted her hips and allowed Rita to pull her pants and underwear down to her ankles. She whimpered helplessly as Rita kissed her way back up her body pausing only to lick the back of her knees. With each brush of Rita's lips and tongue Penny trembled with an aching need. She parted her thighs when she felt Rita's hot breath teasing her damp curls.

Her body arched as she felt Rita parting her with her tongue as one of her hands glided back up her torso. Penny's world was spinning as she felt Rita's flattened tongue gliding along her sex while she captured one of her nipples between her long fingers. "Oh that's it," she pleaded as her lover's tongue teased her while her fingers pinched her nipple.

Penny thrashed beneath her lover, her ears were filled with a strange buzzing sound and she cried out her lover's name. The outside world faded away, as she became lost in the feel of Rita's touch. Penny grasped the back of the car seat and the dashboard as her body exploded. Everything turned dark as she erupted against her lover. She couldn't speak or think as her body continued to tremble. As she floated back into reality she understood for the first time the true meaning of having her world rocked.

She blew out a contented sigh as Rita's tongue caressed her trembling thighs. She still couldn't see clearly as she felt Rita's touch moving up along her torso. When her vision cleared she found Rita hovering above her. Penny pulled the brunette down on top of her and kissed her deeply. She moaned, as she tasted her wetness on her lover's lips.

Rita's beat up Plymouth rocked as they swayed against one another. Penny's hands fumbled as she wrestled with the zipper on her lover's blue jeans. "I need to be inside you," she pleaded as she yanked the jeans down Rita's hips. Rita gasped as she straddled Penny's body. Penny slipped her fingers inside of the brunette's underwear. She was surprised at the abundance of wetness that greeted her touch.

She stroked her lover's throbbing clit as Rita mimicked her actions. They teased each other until they slipped deep inside of the other's wetness. The car windows fogged up as their moans filled the night air. Penny felt her body falling as her lover's body tightened around her as they wildly cried out the other's name. Penny felt on top of the world as Rita collapsed against her.

"Please don't tell anyone," Rita whimpered in her ear.

Penny pushed the brunette off of her as the sweetness of the moment vanished and the harsh reality came crashing down. "I'm sorry," Rita quickly apologized.

"Whatever," Penny huffed as she pulled up her pants.

"God, I'm such an ass," Rita grumbled as she began to adjust her own clothing.

"Yeah," Penny concurred as she glared at the other girl. "Not the words I really wanted whispered in my ear at that particular moment."

"I really am sorry," Rita pleaded as she reached out to Penny only to have her hands swatted away.

"Fine," Penny hissed as she adjusted her clothing. "Just take me home."

Rita released a heavy sigh as she started the car. Penny brooded during the drive home. She blew out an exasperated breath as they pulled into the driveway. "I said I was sorry," Rita grumbled as she put the car in park.

"I know," Penny conceded with a scowl. "I know you're scared. So am I," she added as she faced the brunette.

"It was very special," Rita offered with a quiet sincerity. "I'm just really confused."

"Me too," Penny smiled shyly as she took Rita by the hand. "But I don't regret it."

"Neither do I," Rita responded with a brilliant smile.

They shared a quick kiss before Penny went into the house. They never talked about what had happened, although Penny silently wished that it would happen again. It never did they just went their separate ways and lost touch.

*************************************************************

"Penny?" Rita's rich voice invaded her slumber.

"Huh?" Penny grumbled as her eyes blinked open. She was surprised to find that they were parked in a strange driveway. "I fell asleep?" She yawned before blushing as she recalled the passionate dream. Somehow she had gone from remembering what had happened to dreaming about it.

"Sounds like you really needed it," Rita offered as she held the car door open for her.

"Huh?" Penny stammered as she climbed out of the large SUV.

"Sleep," Rita explained as she handed Penny her bag. "After the day you've had, you must be exhausted."

"Right," Penny blushed as she followed behind the meter maid.

Penny couldn't help wondering if she made any sounds while she was napping in the backseat of Rita's car. Over the years, more than one lover told her she talked in her sleep. She felt apprehensive as she followed Rita into the two family house and up to the second floor apartment. Once they stepped inside the homey little apartment, Rita was charming and very gracious offering Penny use of her shower while she fixed them something to eat.

Penny felt much better after a long hot shower. She emerged from the bathroom wrapped up in Rita's very large bathrobe. She wandered around until she found her hostess standing over the stove in the kitchen. Penny released a hearty laugh when she spied a magnet on the refrigerator with Jennifer Tilly's picture.

"What?" Rita who was now clad in a pair of sweat pants and an old t-shirt, merrily inquired.

"Still a breast woman I see," Penny quipped as she pointed to the magnet which mostly showed the actress's cleavage.

"Hell yes," Rita boasted with a smirk before she returned her attention to the pot on the stove. "And you?" The brunette slyly added.

"Oh yeah," Penny gleefully confessed as she peered over the brunette's shoulder. "What's for dinner?"

"Clam chowder," Rita supplied as she turned off the stove. "Perfect for a cold winter night."

"You are a goddess," Penny sighed gratefully as she watched Rita pouring the chowder into two large mugs.

They settled down on the sofa in the living and began eating. "Cable is out," Rita explained as she tossed down the remote control.

"We could always talk," Penny suggested as she studied her companion. Rita had grown into a beautiful, confident woman. Penny was finding it more than a little hard to concentrate on her dinner with the attractive brunette sitting so closely to her.

"That would be nice," Rita agreed with another warm smile. "So, what's new?"

Penny released another hearty laugh at the comment. "Can I ask you something?" She carefully began.

"Anything," Rita shrugged. "It isn't like we are strangers, although it has been what, nine years since the last time we saw each other."

"Wow," Penny sighed as she realized just how much time had passed. "Uhm, when I was sleeping in the backseat of your car, did I snore?"

"No," Rita reassured her with a mischievous grin.

"Did I say anything?" Penny cautiously inquired.

"Uh huh," Rita nodded with a cocky grin.

"What did I say?" Penny blurted out in a panic.

"Not much," Rita taunted her, as her grin grew brighter.

Penny was horrified as she glared at her companion. "Relax," Rita chuckled. "It wasn't that bad. Let's just say, it saved me from asking if you were gay or not. Can I ask what you were dreaming about?" Rita encouraged the redhead who was burying her face in her hands.

"No," Penny barked in response as Rita giggled.

"Come on," Rita urged still laughing at Penny's strife. "Apparently I was involved; I have a right to know."

"You suck," Penny gaped at her friend before releasing a light chuckle. Rita just sat there grinning at her and wiggling her eyebrows. "When I fell asleep, I was thinking about that party and that is what I dreamt about," she finally explained.

"The night we had sex in the laundry room," Rita sighed as she cleared away the soup mugs. "God that was a great night. Until I stuck my foot in my mouth," she added glumly before she ducked into the kitchen. "Speaking of laundry, I need to check on your clothes," Rita called out from the other room.

Penny was amazed by how relaxed she felt just being with Rita. She smiled when the brunette returned and resumed her seat next to her. "When did you come out?" Rita inquired still smiling. Penny almost missed the brunette's question since she was more interested in watching the way Rita's lips moved as she spoke rather than actually listening to what she was saying.

"Sophomore year in college," Penny sighed as she drew attention away from the brunette's soft supple lips.

"I beat you by a year," Rita boasted. "Although, I was tempted back in high school to try to get you to out with me."

"Really?" Penny huskily retorted as her eyes drifted along Rita's body. "I thought about it too. There was this one time during senior year when I spent the whole day looking for you. Then when I found you, you were sucking face with Troy."

"Yuck," Rita winced with disgust.

"I was pissed," Penny laughed at the memory. "But Susie Albright cheered me up."

"Susie?" Rita gasped.

"Yeah," Penny smirked. "I ended up at her house, her parents weren't home and we were just hanging out in the kitchen. Next thing I know I was bent over the kitchen table and learning that Susie had some very interesting ways to use produce." Penny blushed at the memory. "So, do you like being a meter maid?"

"That was a quick change," Rita snickered as she tucked her legs under her body. "Yes, I do. I get to be outside all day long, which is usually a good thing, except on days like today. And let me tell you when you have PMS being paid to screw up someone's day is a definite bonus."

"You like giving people parking tickets?" Penny gasped while trying to keep her focus away from the way Rita's nipples were pressing against the thin material of the shirt she was wearing.

"Yes, I do and my eyes are higher," Rita teased the redhead.

"I'm sorry," Penny blurted out embarrassed that she had been caught ogling her hostess.

"Hey," Rita said softly as Penny tried to pull away.

She gasped as Rita reached over and clasped her shoulder. Penny felt the warmth spreading through her body as Rita closed the distance between them. "I'm happy to know that I'm not the only one who still feels it," Rita whispered as she cupped Penny's face.

"Feels what?" Penny whispered as she leaned into Rita's touch.

"This," Rita panted before she brushed her lips lightly against Penny's. "Am I out of line?" Rita timidly asked as she brushed her cheek against Penny's.

"No," Penny sighed as her eyes fluttered shut, her senses reeling from the feel of Rita's breath caressing her face. She laced her fingers through Rita's hair and drew her in for a lingering kiss. Penny moaned deeply as she felt the brunette tugging playfully on her bottom lip. Penny's lips parted eager to taste more of her lover. Her body became overheated as she felt a pair of knowing hands brushing against her waist.

Penny filled her hands with Rita's long, silky hair as she drew her in closer. Her tongue teased her lover's as she felt a gentle tug on the sash of her bathrobe. Penny's stomach fluttered as she tried to wrap her body around the brunette's. They were gasping for air as they parted. Penny's lips were still tingling from Rita's kisses. She buried her face in the brunette's neck as she felt her bathrobe opening.

She whimpered when she felt Rita's fingers stilling against her bare flesh. "This is happening a little too fast," Rita cooed as Penny nibbled on the softness of her neck. "You're not just doing this to get out of that parking ticket are you?"

Penny snickered at the brunette's quick wit as she gazed up at the brunette. "Maybe," she jested as she leaned back resting her head on the sofa cushions. Penny's pulse quickened from Rita's smoldering gaze. She watched as the brunette cautiously parted the robe revealing more of the redhead's body.

"You are even more beautiful than I remember," Rita blew out with appreciation as her eyes caressed the Penny's body. Penny leaned back giving her lover a better view of her naked form. "This is where I should suggest that you sleep in my bed and volunteer to sleep on the sofa."

"Why?" Penny challenged the brunette who was still studying her body. Penny sighed softly her body trembling from Rita's gaze. She felt as if the brunette was touching her simply by looking at her. "Are you involved with someone?"

"No," Rita sighed softly as her eyes continued to wander. Penny parted her thighs hoping to encourage the brunette to do more than simply look at her. Penny's body was already on fire from Rita's look, now she needed to feel her touch.

"We're adults this time," Penny reasoned as she studied the softness of Rita's face and the supple curve of her neck. Her stomach quivered as Rita's fingers began to move slowly across it. "We can stop if that is what you want," she murmured as she began to caress the brunette's thigh.

"What do you want?" Rita asked her voice dripping with sensuality as her blunt nails traced Penny's hips.

"I want what I wanted in high school," Penny whispered her hand drifting higher up the brunette's thigh. "I want to taste you, to touch you, to be inside you and I want so much more."

Rita released a throaty growl as she lifted her gaze. Penny gasped from the intensity of Rita's gaze and knowing that her eyes were mirroring the brunette's desire. Rita smiled at her. The only sound came from their shallow breathing as they stared deeply into one another's eyes. Penny broke the intensity when Rita's tongue darted out and wet her soft pink lips. She whimpered from the sight. "Why are you resisting this?" She questioned the brunette.

"Because a decade ago I blew it," Rita stammered while her hands caressed Penny's taut abdomen. "I really liked you back then; I didn't understand what I was feeling. Didn't you ever wonder how I knew what Scott was trying to pull that night?"

Penny's scrunched her brow at the question she had never thought about. She quickly forgot the inquiry when she felt Rita's hands gliding higher up her body. "I couldn't take my eyes off you that night," Rita prattled on. "But I was always doing that whenever you were around. Tonight I'm feeling this incredible connection to you and we've barely spoken to one another."

"I understand," Penny gasped from the feel of Rita's fingers brushing against the softness of her breast. "And if you want to take this slow, you have to stop doing that," she choked out as they neared one another.

"I know," Rita whimpered helplessly as her lips collided with Penny's.

Penny was filled with elation as she kissed her lover deeply. Neither of them could resist the power drawing them together. Penny's head fell back as Rita's hands covered her breasts. "Oh yeah still a breast woman," she snickered as she felt her nipples puckering in response.

"Can't help myself," Rita moaned as she began to kiss the soft plain of the redhead's neck.

Penny's eyes fluttered shut; her lover lavished her neck with soft kisses as her nimble fingers teased her erect buds. Her clit was throbbing as she felt Rita slipping off of the sofa and nestling her body between Penny's thighs. She managed to open her eyes slightly to find her lover kneeling on the floor. Penny wrapped her legs around the brunette's body, feeling her wetness glistening on her skin as she guided Rita closer.

She could feel Rita's hot breath teasing her flesh as the brunette's lips moved down her body. She cried out as she felt her nipple being captured between Rita's lips. Instinctively her body arched pressing more of her breast into her lover's mouth. She clasped the back of the meter maid's head while her hips began moving against the brunette's body.

Penny's body thrashed urgently as her thoughts turned to how much she wanted to feel Rita's naked flesh pressed against her own. "I want to see you," she growled while her lover's teeth grazed against her nipple. She felt frustrated when Rita refused to yield her exploration. "Fuck," she groaned as her lover suckled her harder and she ground her wetness against the brunette's t-shirt.

"Not yet," Rita taunted her as she flickered her tongue against her nipple.

"Damn it woman," she sighed as Rita buried her face between her breasts. "Do you have any idea how good you feel," she murmured while massaging her lover's scalp.

Rita lifted her head slightly and tenderly kissed the valley between the redhead's breasts. "Show me," Rita encouraged her as she leaned back slightly. Penny shivered as her lover held her gaze and clasped her wrists.

Penny tried to slow her breathing while her lover guided her hand down the front of her body. "Show me," the brunette repeated as she led Penny's trembling fingers down to her wetness. Penny licked her lips as she parted herself. She inhaled sharply as she watched Rita lean back and watch her movements. "So wet," Rita sighed deeply as she watched Penny gathering her passion with her fingers.

Penny smiled boldly as she brought her fingers to Rita trembling lips. She felt a knot in the pit of her stomach as she watched her lover's tongue snake out and lick the wetness from her tiny digits. Rita's tongue swirled around each digit before plunging them into the warmth of her mouth. Penny struggled against the fire brewing inside of her as she felt her lover's teeth teasing her fingers as she sucked the last drops of passion from them.

Penny didn't hesitate; once Rita released her hand from her grasp she returned it to her overflowing wetness and began to stroke her clit. Rita watched her movements carefully her eyes clouded with desire. Penny fingers glided against her aching nub in a flurry. "Stand up," she instructed her lover her fingers never slowing as she teased herself.

She watched as Rita slowly stood. "Take off your clothes," she panted parting her thighs so her lover could see everything she was doing. Rita watched her intently as she removed her clothing. Once the tall brunette was standing before her completely exposed for her appreciative gaze, Penny plunged two digits deep inside her center.

Rita groaned deeply as she watched Penny's fingers slip deeper inside her center. "I need to touch you," Rita stammered.

"You will," Penny promised her fingers slipping out of the warm wetness. "Baby," she pleaded softly. "Kneel down," Rita sank to her knees. "Turn around," Penny continued her body aching to touch the other woman who was eagerly complying with her instructions. Rita turned away from her, clasped the edges of the coffee table and raised her backside for her lover.

Penny was salivating at the sight of this beautiful woman offering herself up to her. She slipped down so she was behind her lover. Slowly her hands massaged the smooth skin on the brunette's back, caressing slowly until she was filling her hands with the firm flesh of her backside. Her lover moaned parting her thighs revealing her glistening wetness to the redhead's eager eyes.

She traced the firm flesh with the tips of her fingers carefully exploring every inch of the brunette's ass. She felt a sense of excitement fueling her on as she listened to her lover's desperate pleas. She slipped her hand between Rita's quivering thighs filling it with her lover's passion.

She glided her fingers along Rita's swollen nether lips contemplating the many ways she wanted to touch this woman. She teased her as she began to kiss and lick her backside as she felt her lover swaying against her touch. She tasted her lover's passion while her fingers teased the brunette's clit. Tracing her lover's skin with her tongue as her body slipped further down onto the floor, she could hear Rita begging for her touch.

She didn't need to ask her lover to part her legs, the brunette's body simply responded to her touch. Pressing her fingers against the opening of Rita's center she began to drink in her wetness. She drank in Rita's passion as her fingers slipped inside of the brunette. Rita's body thrust against her touch as she stroked the brunette with her tongue and fingers.

She became lost in the feel and taste of her lover's body as she took her harder. Her own pleasurable cries were muffled by her lover's flesh while she felt Rita's body trembling against her skin. Silently she urged her lover to climax, needing to drown in Rita's ecstasy. "Harder," the brunette cried out as Penny happily granted her request.

She was unable to curb her movements even as Rita exploded against her. Only when Rita pulled away from her did she relinquish her hold. Before she could center herself she was wrapped in Rita's arms as the brunette captured her in a smoldering kiss. Each of them understanding it was just the beginning for them; Rita slipped the bathrobe from Penny's body and guided her up against the sofa.

Penny's head was spinning as she found herself teetering half on and half off of the sofa as her lover's hand cupped her mound. Penny ground her clit against the heel of Rita's hand, clinging to the cushions as her lover teased her. "Take me," she screamed out rocking against the brunette's touch.

She exploded as she felt Rita inside of her and the brunette's tongue suddenly flickering against her clit. Strange words escaped her lips while her lover's mouth and fingers drove her to new heights. The world went black as she was encompassed in sheer ecstasy. Her body continued to soar as her lover's touch never slowed until she was left limp and dazed.

As her vision cleared her throat felt raw from the screams she released. She looked down to find concerned hazel eyes staring back at her. Penny tried to think of something to say that could express the joy she felt at that moment, her muddled mind preventing her from forming the words. Rita's lips fluttering against her stomach centered her. She smiled as she ran her fingers through Rita's hair. "Bed?" She finally managed to squeak out as her lover chuckled against her belly.

"Bed," Rita confirmed with a brilliant smile as she stood. Penny swayed as her lover helped her to her feet. "Sadly we have to get up in a couple of hours," Rita explained as she led them into the bedroom.

Penny felt a sense of peace as Rita climbed into the large bed and spooned her. "It feels so good to hold you," Rita whispered softly.

"Finally you know what to say," Penny murmured playfully.

"Took me long enough," Rita sighed.

"You just turned one of the worst days in my life to one of the best," Penny cooed as she felt sleep creeping up on her.

"This is just the beginning," Rita promised.

"I hope so," Penny yawned as she fell into a blissful slumber.
