“We can.” I whispered huskily as my hands now caressed her exposed bottom
“Someone could walk in.” Allison moaned as I urged her legs to open with my thigh. “We shouldn’t not here …” Her words of protest were cut off by the sound of the zipper on my jeans being lowered.
I watched in amusement as she clutched her desk hard. I lowered my pants and underwear down my legs and lifted the hem of my black turtleneck slightly. I pressed my wetness into her naked cheeks as she bucked her hips in response with a deep growl. “Do you want me to stop?” I teased increasing the rhythm of our movements.
“No.” She answered heavily as her hips matched my movements. I grabbed her hips and bucked against her furiously we were both so close as our bodies began to tremble. “Ah yes baby.” She moaned as she held onto her desk for dear life.
“Well I see the two of you have work out your differences.” A voice said with a slightly bitter tone from across the room.
“Merde!” Allison’s startled voice shouted as she pushed herself away from the desk and pulled up her pants. “Chris what are you doing here?” She growled as I hid behind her putting my own clothing back on.
“Enjoying the show.” Chris chuckled lustfully.
“Don’t you know how to knock?” Allison demanded as I continued to cower behind her.
“Hey I did knock.” Chris offered defensively. “I guess you were too occupied to notice.”
“Kill me now.” I grumbled from behind Allison.
“Hi Stephanie.” Chris chirped brightly seeming to enjoy my discomfort.
“Chris.” I growled finally emerging from behind my lover I took my place on the corner of Allison’s desk and folded my arms across my chest and glared at Chris.
“Chris are you here simply to fulfill your voyeuristic fantasies are is there a reason for this intrusion?” Allison questioned her heatedly.
“Why so hostile Ally?” Chris was beyond smug. “Look I just wanted to update you on the case. Not that there was ever anything to it in the first place. Half of Simon’s bogus attempts to get even with the women in his wife’s life couldn’t get an inditement from the grand jury. Normally good old Simon could get a tic tac indited.”
“Chris.” Allison pushed.
“Anywho.” Chris continued. “I went to see Jessica and she refused to help me out. In fact she denied everything.”
“I could have told you that would happen.” Allison pointed out.
“I had to try.” Chris explained. “Now Simon was another story he completely freaked when I went to see him. He also denied everything and then asked me just how well I knew his wife.”
“You’re surprised?” Allison goaded her.
“No.” Chris responded frankly. “But I need to do this by the book this has the potential of becoming a huge scandal. I had to offer Simon an out. My next stop is a meeting with his boss.”
“With the evidence you have collected that should just about wrap everything up.” Allison agreed. “So tell me why the trip up here. You could have told me this on the telephone or by email?”
“I was coming here anyway.” Chris offered. “I thought it would be fun to tell you in person and I was right.” Chris added a wink to her last comment.
“I get it you have a hot date in Boston and now you can charge the firm for your trip.” Allison grumbled.
“I have a class.” I said as I looked at my watch in disgust. I grabbed my briefcase and kissed Allison deeply and then left the two women alone.
Later that night Allison and I were finally able to finish what we had started in the privacy of her bedroom. We collapsed in exhaustion and fell asleep in each other’s arms. On Saturday morning I was awaken by Allison urging me to get dress. Not her usual morning request so I was intrigued as to just what my tall lover had in mind. Once dressed in warm clothing we drove north to a tree farm and went shopping for a Christmas tree for her apartment. Despite my objections to the size of the tree Allison had picked out she bought it and had it tied to the roof of the car. We struggled to get the monster up the staircase and into her apartment.
Once it was inside and Allison dug out the tree stand and her decorations we set about trying to get it into the stand only to discover what I had already pointed out. The tree was far too tall and reluctantly Allison was forced to cut it down to size. She grumbled and I made some coffee while casting out a few choices “I told you so” comments while she struggled with her task. As we decorated the tree I was excited at the prospect of spending the holiday with Allison. I also dreaded the arrival of Christmas knowing that soon after the holiday Allison would be on her way to California.
Once the tree was lit and decorated we sat on the sofa sipping champagne and watching the tiny white lights twinkle. “Beautiful.” I said softly as I held her hand and looked at the tastefully decorated tree. “Yes it is.” Allison answered honestly as I turned to find that her comment was direct towards me and not the scotch pine that had over taken her living room. “I love you.” I said truthfully as I stared deeply into her eyes. Our loving making that night was slow and gentle and beyond words. Once again sleep was not in our future. We were awakening by the sounds of Tigger making bouncing noises from the clock I had bought from her. She would laugh like a child each time it went off. “I love this thing.” She would say, as she would playfully slap the top of Tigger’s head to hit the snooze button.
Our days began to fill up between teaching, work on the book, shopping and my new favorite past time of making love. One morning I awoke before the alarm and looked down at Allison’s sleeping form. The beauty of her overwhelmed me and I found myself crying. Allison awoke to find me weeping beside her. “What’s wrong?” She asked tenderly as she pulled me into a warm embrace. “I don’t want you to go.” I sobbed feeling foolish at my childish behavior. “I love you.” She explained. “And I don’t want to go. But I gave my word and it is too late to back out.”
It was what I needed to hear. I needed to be reassured that she loved me. Silly but true. I loved her and I knew that as hard as it was I would wait for her. At times Allison had suggested that perhaps in her absence I should explore more of the gay community. I knew what she meant. I was not interested in dating other women and let her know that in no uncertain terms.
“I will just have to survive on your letters and phone calls oh don’t forget about email.” I would respond. I understood that her suggestions stemmed from her own fears. That perhaps since I was a newbie in the lesbian world I should explore while she was gone. That perhaps I would meet someone else. I quieted her fears as best I could. I knew that there could never be anyone else who would hold my heart the way that she does. We made plans for the holidays. We had decided to drive down to her parents on Christmas Eve and stay for the annual New Years celebration. We could then drive back on New Years day and this would allow us three days of uninterrupted bliss together before Allison would leave.
During the time leading up to the holiday we spent time with Mrs. Giavanni and helped her prepare for the holiday. I finally met our neighbor the lady cop. Althea was a small African American woman. The sight of her in uniform always made me smile. Out of uniform she looked like a teenager. But once she put on her blue uniform she was an impressive figure. Her girlfriend Linda was a stark contrast she looked like a Swedish supermodel. From the amount of time they spent together it looked as if Linda might be joining our little family soon. Mrs. Giavanni in her own way dropped hints regarding my place of residence. So pointed out that since I spent so much time at Allison’s apartment that perhaps I should just move upstairs.
