Gerri Hill - One Summer Night

"Then let's get out of here."

"I'm going to hate myself tomorrow," Jo said.

"No," Kelly said softly and cupped her face with one palm. "I'll be right back. Stay here. I’ll tell Lucy I’m leaving."

Jo wrapped her arms around herself, thinking she had lost her mind for agreeing to this. But for once, she wasn't going to talk herself out of it. It had been inevitable, after all.

Chapter Sixteen

Jo moved into Kelly’s arms without thinking, their clothes having been shed as soon as the door shut behind them. She didn't want to know what Kelly had told the others, and Kelly didn't offer an explanation. It didn't matter, anyway. This was all that mattered.

"I've thought of this so often," Kelly whispered into her mouth.

"Yes, I have too," Jo admitted.

Jo led her to the bed and pulled Kelly down with her, their breasts touching, Kelly's mouth hot on her, her tongue delving deep, exploring. Her hands moved to Kelly’s hair, fingers parting it, smoothing it, holding Kelly's face between her palms.

"I want you so much," Jo breathed.

"I'm yours," Kelly murmured against her lips.

They moved slowly, neither in a hurry, both wanting to prolong this pleasure. Kelly caressed Jo’s face with soft fingers, then moved to her breasts, fingertips lightly grazing her taut nipples.

Jo laid her head back and closed her eyes, remembering the first time they had made love. It had been like this, too.

Kelly’s touch bringing all her senses to life, chest rising and falling, breath coming rapidly as she waited for Kelly's mouth to travel slowly from her lips, down her neck, to her breasts. Kelly’s tongue touched her nipple, and she raised up to meet her as Kelly's mouth settled over one tip while her fingers caressed the other. She held her, letting Kelly have her fill. Kelly lifted up slightly and moved her mouth to the other breast, her legs shifting between Jo's. Jo pushed her hips up, her legs parting even wider.

Jo took Kelly's hand and placed it between them, forcing her to feel the wetness that she had caused, and she pressed her hand to her.

"Oh, God, look at you," Kelly whispered as her fingers found Jo’s opening. Jo stifled a cry as Kelly's fingers parted her and delved into her, her hips rising to meet Kelly’s thrusting fingers.

Kelly pulled her hand away and laid down full on top of Jo, their hips pressing together. Jo held her, her lips moving over Kelly’s face before coming back to her mouth.

Kelly moved down her body, trailing kisses as she went.

Squirming and gasping in anticipation by the time Kelly’s tongue moved to her inner thigh, Jo thought she would surely die if Kelly didn't hurry and take her.

"Please, I can't stand it.”

She felt Kelly smile against her leg and then her mouth 122

moved the few inches as Jo rose up to meet her, laying back down as Kelly settled over her.

"Dear God," she breathed, and her fingers clutched Kelly's shoulders, holding her there for fear she would stop, but Kelly's mouth and tongue moved over her greedily, relentlessly, devouring her, opening her.

"Yes," Jo sighed, biting her lip and shutting her eyes tightly, feeling the sensation of Kelly's mouth wash over her.

She had dreamed of this moment since that night in June.

Her orgasm was building and her breath caught. All too soon her hips were thrusting forward and she was screaming out her pleasure and gasping as her body shuddered until Kelly's mouth finally stilled.

"Oh," she said softly and drew Kelly to her, folding her in her arms. "That was so wonderful.”

Kelly's hands caressed her hair and soothed her while Jo’s heart slowed and her breathing eased. She raised her head after awhile, and Jo kissed her mouth. "Lay back," Jo said quietly. Kelly released her and lay still, and Jo saw the rise and fall of her breasts. She put her lips there, tongue teasing a nipple before taking it into her mouth. She had always been so passive in bed, but she was different with Kelly. She wanted to please her, wanted her to forget all the countless others that had come before. Jo wanted her to remember only her.

Jo took Kelly’s hands and pinned them above her head, then straddled her, her hips sinking down against Kelly.

Their eyes held, and Jo lowered her mouth, kissing Kelly hard.

“I’ve wanted you for so long,” she admitted. “I’ve dreamed of making love to you.”

Jo cupped Kelly’s breast and covered it with her mouth, sucking the nipple inside, her tongue caressing the hard peak. Jo raised her hips, just enough to slip her hand between 123

their bodies. When her fingers touched Kelly’s wetness, Jo groaned, and bit gently at Kelly’s nipple. Jo slipped first one, then two fingers inside Kelly. She pulled out slowly, only to delve back deep inside her. Kelly’s hips rocked against Jo’s hand, and Jo sat up, watching Kelly’s face contort in concentration. Jo matched Kelly’s rhythm, her fingers moving deeper with each thrust.

“Yes,” Kelly breathed. “Faster.”

But there wasn’t time. Seconds later, Kelly screamed, a deep, primal scream that thrilled Jo to her very core. She withdrew slowly, fingers wet, she wiped them against Kelly’s breast, only to put her mouth there.

“I want my mouth on you,” Jo murmured. “I want to taste you.”

“Jo. . . I can’t. Give me a second.” Kelly tried to pull Jo to her, but Jo resisted.

“I just want to taste you.”

Jo moved down, wetting Kelly’s side, her stomach, with her tongue. Jo’s hands pushed Kelly’s legs apart and she trailed kisses over Kelly’s hips and thighs, into the hollows at her knees, then back up. Kelly lay still as Jo caressed her leg, down to her smooth calf, then back up again.

Jo smiled when she felt Kelly’s hands grip her shoulders to push her down, to guide her. Jo breathed deeply, Kelly’s scent arousing her even more, and her mouth went to the source of her pleasure, tasting her, feeling the silky wetness with her tongue. Kelly pushed up, then lay back down as Jo stroked her quickly. She was smooth and soft and oh, so wet, and Jo nearly devoured her, bringing her to orgasm quickly.

Kelly surged up, and Jo felt Kelly’s fingers dig into her shoulders as she cried out.

"Oh, dear God," she whispered. Kelly lay back, her arms again limp at her sides, and Jo kissed her gently.

124

"You're such a beautiful lover," Kelly sighed, and gathered Jo up beside her.

Jo smiled, her hand gently cupping Kelly's breast. She couldn't seem to stop touching her, and she tried not to think about how much she still wanted her.

Their lovemaking took them well into the morning when, exhausted, they finally fell asleep in each other’s arms.

Chapter Seventeen

Jo opened her eyes slowly, half-afraid that Kelly would be gone again, but she was sound asleep beside her. Jo watched Kelly sleep, her face smooth and dark, her brown hair tousled from Jo's hands. Jo’s gaze settled on Kelly’s lips, still swollen from their kisses. She watched her for a long moment, refusing to think about what she had done last night, remembering only the sweet lovemaking they had shared and the ecstasy this woman had brought to her.

She finally reached to touch Kelly's lips with her own.

Kelly moved under the covers and stretched, her eyes still closed. A small smile formed on her lips, then her eyes opened, and she found Jo staring at her.

126

"Good morning," she murmured.

"Mmm," Jo nodded and propped her head up on her palm.

"Is everything okay?" Kelly asked gently.

"Yes. I'm just watching you."

Kelly smiled and found Jo's breast under the covers.

"You can watch me all you want.”

"Breakfast?"

"You can cook, too?"
