Nicole suddenly dropped her fork and stared at me in horror. I turned to Allison who was seated to my right in hopes for some kind of explanation. She was far too busy chewing on her bottom lip to help me out. “One of the proudest moments of my life was when my baby told me she was going to law school at my alma mater.” Jefferson continued unfazed by his daughter’s discomfort.
“Oh so you’re a Harvard man?” I said absently still not fully understanding the problem. Then it hit me like a ton of bricks. “Harvard” I muttered to Allison. “So the game would be …”
“The annual Harvard vs. Yale game, of course.” Jefferson advised me.
“Oh no.” I whispered to Allison. “How bad is this?”
“I don’t know it has never happened before.” Allison answered through clenched teeth.
“Will someone please tell me what is going on?” Jefferson asked in concern.
I looked around to find everyone staring at us. I gave Allison’s hand I gentle squeeze and decided to offer myself up as a sacrifice. Knowing that full well it was no big deal for Allison to bring home a woman. But a Yalie was quite a different story. “Jefferson I think I know what is going on.” I began carefully. This could be a problem, Allison and I my get separate rooms yet.”
“Well enlighten this old man.” Jefferson urged me on.
“My undergraduate degree is from UConn.” I explained.
“Fine school.” Jefferson commended me.
“Thank you.” I answered quickly then I took a deep breath before lowering the proverbial boom. “My advance degrees are from Yale.”
There was an eerie silence. I held onto Allison’s hand for dear life and wondered how much a taxi back to Haven would cost. “Now Pops I know how much the game means to you.” Allison offered in my defense.
“Stephanie?” Jefferson addressed me in a stern voice.
“Yes Sir?” I squeaked.
“Have you ever been to the annual game?” He cross-examined me.
“No Sir.” I answered honestly. “I don’t really understand football.”
“Then I will have the pleasure of explaining it to you tomorrow.” He answered gently. “Oh but if Yale wins… which they won’t you are walking home.” He added with a laugh.
“Agreed Sir.” I answer with relief.
“Stop calling me sir.” He grumbled. “I can’t believe this is what was worrying you Allison. I find your girl perfectly charming.” He smiled at me.
“She’s not my …” Allison started to protest. “never mind.”
Everyone relaxed over dessert while Jefferson tried to teach me about the finer points of football and just why Harvard was going to crush Yale. After everyone had finished eating we cleared the table. Everyone including myself helped with the clean up process. I felt like part of the family as we all joked around in the kitchen. Then I helped Allison put Gaia to bed and retrieved Haley’s papers that she had offered me to read. Nicole left for a meeting and the elder Kendell’s excused them for the night.
I found myself looking for an excuse to stay downstairs until Allison was asleep. She didn’t say a word as she took my hand in hers and led me upstairs to her bedroom.
CHAPTER FIFTEEN
Allison opened the door to her bedroom and allowed me to enter before her. Only the fire blazing in the fireplace lighted the room. In the middle of the room was a four-poster bed. I jumped slightly as I heard the door closing behind me. I placed the papers I was now gripping tightly on a bureau near the door. My palms were sweating as I just stood there feeling like a virgin on her wedding night.
“I will get the light.” Allison said softly from behind me. I could only nod in response.
I spotted my overnight bag on the floor and picked it up wondering what I should do next. Allison’s body brushed against mine as she passed me on her way to the nightstand. I swallowed hard as I watched her body bathed in firelight walking towards the nightstand. She reached for the lamp on the table and then stopped her movements. Allison turned to me and gazed at me with an intensity I had never seen before. I dropped my bag and crossed over to her quickly. She met me half way and without a word we found ourselves wrapped up in each other’s arms. Our lips pressed together as our bodies met. The heat was unbelievable as our mouths parted and our tongues met dancing together with passion.
We gasped as we broke apart as the need to breath overcame us. “I’m terrified.” I gasped. In response she placed her fingers gently on my lips and silenced my fears. “I love you.” She whispered sweetly. “And I want to make love to you.” She began to kiss my neck while her hands trailed down my sides. I felt her tugging my turtleneck out of my jeans and strong hands sliding up under the material. I arched my back as she cupped my breasts gently. Then suddenly her touch vanished and she stepped slightly away from me. I panicked for a brief moment before my fears were gently quieted with a tender kiss.
Allison lifted my shirt from my body and tossed it onto the floor. Then her hands found their way to my bare shoulders and I trembled from her touch. Allison pulled me towards her and wrapped me in her arms. I captured her lips and kissed her passionately. I felt my bra depart my body and fall to the floor. “How do you do that?” I moaned against her lips. She laughed lightly as she pulled her lips from mine. “You inspire me.” She whispered hotly in my ear.
She looked at me as her hands ran down my face then lowered to caress my neck. My skin trembling from her touch. “You are so beautiful.” She said softly as one hand descended further down and cupped my breast. Nimble fingers began to tease my nipple her eyes never leaving mine. I shuddered as I felt my nipple becoming erect. Her eyes closed slightly as she lowered her head and captured my nipple in her mouth. Teasing it slowly with her tongue and teeth. I moaned deeply as my head spun out of control. I ran my fingers through her dark hair and found myself pushing myself further into her mouth.
I thought I would collapse as she moved her mouth to my other breast and lavished it with the same attention. I could feel my passion growing between my legs as she feasted upon my breast. Her tongue moved from my breast and kissed and tasted it’s way down my cleavage. Her hands covered my now aching breast and teased my nipples until I thought I would explode. I groaned deeply as Allison’s mouth sampled my exposed skin moving across my chest down my ribs and lavishing attention to my abdomen. Her hands never leaving my breasts until she had sunk fully onto her knees.
My body went cold as her kisses ceased and her hands left me. I felt a surge of warmth as she began to unbutton my jeans. With each button my heart raced faster and faster. I felt the denim being gently pulled down my body. She paused briefly to remove my shoes and socks. Then she lowered my jeans down to my ankles and I eagerly stepped out of them. I stood there before her clad in nothing but my panties while she kissed her way up my thighs.
I opened my legs to her as she ran her strong determined hands over the sheer fabric of my panties. She looked up at me with a lustful gaze. The intensity of blue was so captivating it made me gasp in anticipation. I knew what she was asking. “Yes.” I trembled not in fear but with desire. Slowly she slid my underwear down my thighs her mouth following their path. I stepped out of my panties and Allison’s mouth began to retrace it’s path back up my body. I was on fire from her touch and shaking from the power of what was happening between us. I felt her hands hold me tightly as I opened myself up to her even further.
A cry escaped my lips as her warm breath blew gently across my blonde curls. Her tongue began to slowly tease me. “Please.” I begged slightly embarrassed by my eagerness and wetness as I pulled her closer. I felt her tongue exploring my passion and I moaned as I felt it enter me. Her tongue parted me slowly and teased me as she plunged it in and out of my opening. I whimpered when it departed, only to moan once again as she began to taste me. “Oh Allison … yes.” I growled as she thrust two fingers inside of me and captured my clit in her mouth.
