I took one more drag on the Cuban cigar, which had marinated for three hours in my soaked cunt before we dried it out by the courtyard pool and smoked it together in bed.
My left arm was slung comfortably around Marian, both of us nude as we reclined against the pillows in the king-sized bed. The curtains were wide-open and there was a magnificent view of the sunset over our hacienda, the estate we'd rented for a week just south of Tijuana.
"Do you want some more?" I asked.
Marian shook her head and smiled devilishly. "I think you know what I want."
I put out the cigar and kissed her full on the mouth, reaching around to cup her heavy, dark-nippled breasts, already hardening with excitement from what was to come.
Marian was the bisexual lover that I'd long desired. We'd met at a lesbian speed dating event in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood, and the electricity was undeniable from the moment I reached across the table, nearly spilling her mojito, and clasped her hand. Like me, she was tall, confident, and unapologetic about her desires. It was easy to talk to her about everything: she'd come out years ago to friends, family, and business acquaintances. On this trip, we were celebrating her 45th birthday together.
She was an award-winning photographer who reminded me of Jennifer Tilly with her long, dark hair and direct gaze. Wherever we went together – dancing body-to-body in the front row of an Annie Lennox concert, or spreading satsuma-scented sun lotion on each other's backs at Denny-Blaine Beach -- we attracted keen attention from men and women alike. Marian's overwhelming desire for me, and her need to see my fantasies fulfilled one after another, kept us both in a constant state of arousal.
Being in Mexico together was a way for us to continue exploring sexually and shatter taboos. I'd done things down here that I'd never done before, and was proud of all of them. I felt my power growing, and Marian was cheering me on every step of the way.
"I'll call her up now," I said, reaching for the phone beside the bed.
It rang twice before Antonella answered. "Si?"
