This story is actually the ending chapter of a much longer story about these two women so I had to add some long explanations at the front. If comments are good, then I will publish the complete novella. Thanks for reading.
*
The old motel on the Shawnee highway had seen better days, but it had been home for weeks and she was sorry to leave the place. The hazy sun streamed in through the worn curtains and put flickering shadows on the blue bedspread and the scent of pinion pine smoke drifted in the air. Some of the Indians in the little settlement down the road still had wood stoves. Jordan didn't notice because she had other things on her mind. She packed her things, including her favorite weapon, the S&W .40 cal Compact she liked to carry. She had just finished up a hard case the previous week and had spent the last few days recuperating with the help of Raven, the Motel's beautiful owner. In the course of the case they had become colleagues, then friends, and now lovers. Jordan was rushed because had to return to Albuquerque that night and catch up her waiting caseload of boring FBI cases, however nothing would compare to what she and Raven had just been through.
After showering and dressing, Jordan returned to Raven's apartment and let herself in, but she still wasn't back from her appointment. Jordan paced around, watched some TV, and checked her voice mail.
Finally just before noon, Raven walked through the kitchen door and said, "You're back!"
"Yes darling," Jordan replied. "Now I am ready for my surprise, I think."
"You think? Well...if you don't want it Jordan," Raven teased.
"Yes, I want it," Jordan giggled.
"How do you feel today? Are you well rested?" Raven asked her.
"I feel great -- back to 100%. In fact, I was thinking..." She put her arms around Raven's waist, "...maybe we could save the surprise for later because..."
She kissed Raven's lips, "...we could go back to bed...but not for sleeping, if you know what I mean."
Raven's eyes lit up, but she shook her head, "Hold on to that thought Jordan but, I have a plan. You get your surprise after lunch. It is a beautiful day outside and we are going to take advantage of it. Only thing is..." She stepped back and looked Jordan over, "...you're dressed too nice. You'll have to change."
"But I have to pack and drive back this afternoon," she protested.
"Not today you don't, they can do without you for one more day," Raven insisted.
Jordan relented and said, "OK, so I'm too nicely dressed? What should I wear?"
"Put on a pair of jeans and a casual top and meet me back here."
Eagerly, Jordan hurried to her motel room to change. I should have moved my clothes to Raven's apartment, this running back and forth is ridiculous. Returning to Raven's apartment, she noticed Raven had changed too; into her black jeans and a tight, white tank top. She was pushing her Harley out of the garage.
"We're going for a ride?" Jordan asked with growing excitement.
"Yeah, if you're up for it." Raven countered back flirtatiously. Jordan touched her side where the knife wound still bothered her.
"You bet! Where are we going?"
"You'll see." Raven answered with a sly smile.
After a quick lunch, Raven left the care of the motel in the Asst. Manager's hands and told her not to expect them back for several hours. She locked up her apartment and tossed a helmet to Jordan when they reached the motorcycle. Climbing on the bike, Jordan's arms wrapped around Raven's torso; something she loved to do.
"Hang on!" Raven yelled.
She took off out of town with a roar and headed north out into the high desert country.
The haze that morning had cleared and the sky was a gorgeous blue, the pine trees thickened as they rode out of town an up into the hills. The last time they rode together was at night on the way to the first murder and Jordan had been unfamiliar with where they were going. But, now, she seemed to recall that they were headed in the same direction of that evening ride. Sure enough, Raven turned off onto the quiet side rode and slowed the bike down. After several moments, she headed off onto the unpaved, side trail, which wandered a bit through a wooded area of pine and birch trees. It came out into a clearing amidst some tall pines beside a riverbed. Raven stopped the bike under a huge tree and cut the engine. She stepped off the bike and was removing her helmet and leather jacket when Jordan began to step off also. But Raven placed a hand on Jordan's shoulder to indicate that she wanted Jordan to stay on the bike. Jordan complied; she took off her helmet too while she stayed seated. Raven swung her leg over the bike and sat back down, but this time she sat backwards so she could face Jordan. "Do you know why I brought you here my love?"
"I have an idea."
Raven went on, "I think I told you before, I always used to come here alone. I haven't brought any other person here but you. This is our special place now." With that, she leaned forward and kissed Jordan's mouth. As the kiss slowly deepened, her hands rested on top of Jordan's thighs. Their lips lingered together for a moment of sweet caressing before Raven ended the kiss. Jordan then saw a different look in Raven's dark eyes, something akin to longing and need. All during their close work in solving the case Raven had dreamed of the moment when she and Jordan would become intimate. It had made her feel good just thinking about it. She was so ready for it and now, she had quickly gotten aroused.
Her voice was husky as she spoke, "I finally have you to myself Jordan. No phones, no doorbells, no case to take up your time. Just you and me." She pressed forward trying to get as close to Jordan as possible. Their knees touched, but it was difficult to put her body against the other woman's. Nevertheless, she resumed kissing. Her kisses were ardent and full of passion; Raven was more aggressive than Jordan had ever known her to be. Taking Jordan's face into her hands, her lips moved along Jordan's jaw line, down her neck, onto her throat; nuzzling her silky skin.
She mumbled; her breath warm against Jordan, "I want you Jordan. I want to make love to you." Jordan's heart quickened. She turned her face to Raven; her lips seeking Raven's hair and skin and offered return kisses as a confirmation of her desire for the same.
With her eyes on Jordan, Raven stepped off the bike. She maintained her amorous gaze, capturing Jordan's attention completely. Her taut nipples strained against her tight shirt. With a sly smile, she turned and walked toward the river. Stopping halfway in the clearing, she tugged at her top, pulling it out of her jeans. She took off her shirt completely and her toned, shapely body proudly stood like a fine sculpture in the early afternoon sun. Jordan sat entranced taking in the lovely view. Raven's breasts were perfect in size and shape with firm, ripe nipples that poked out from naturally tanned globes. Her torso narrowed to a trim tummy and waist and the gentle curves of her hips and derriere were soon to be revealed as Raven turned to face the water and unbuttoned her jeans. Her hair was as black as a Raven's wing even though her ancient Indian ancestors did not know about such birds.
