Carla slept like a baby and woke up in a bright-eyed, optimistic mood, like the Southern California baby she was. She felt certain that today she could get anything she wanted; all she needed was to know how to ask for it.
Slipping on a long white T-shirt, she left the sleeping Annabel and went downstairs to put on some tea. It was a typical SoCal day, a little smoggy, but pleasantly warm with a cool breeze coming off the ocean. She took her tea out onto the deck, sat down, and put her feet up.
Annabel turned up about an hour later, stark naked and adorably disheveled. Her hair was sticking out every which way and her demeanor was that of a thoroughly satisfied woman; she ambled nonchalantly through the kitchen, squinting in the bright sunlight. Seeing Carla, she smiled, and memories of the previous day's adventures came flooding back for both of them.
They had breakfast and showered, then headed into town for yoga class. As they walked into the studio, Carla decided that Asha would be teaching that day. There was no doubt in her mind -- that was what she wanted, and that was what was going to transpire.
And sure enough, at the precise moment the class was supposed to start, a vision of loveliness appeared in the doorway. Today Asha was wearing a minimalist crop-top that left an expanse of bare flesh from the top of her pants to just below her breasts. Her waist was unbelievably thin, her midriff taut and lovely, her creamy brown skin glowing with preternatural vitality. Carla imagined herself licking and nibbling that delectable soft flesh and in that moment she decided that sooner or later, by hook or by crook, she was going to make it happen.

As class began Annabel looked around for Dylan, who was nowhere to be seen. In fact the class was rather sparsely attended. This gave Asha the chance to give lots of personal attention to the students -- especially Carla, who was still new to yoga and may even have been doing the poses wrong on purpose, just to get the teacher to lay hands on her.
Annabel noticed that Carla's eyes never left Asha for the entire duration of the class, and while that was quite understandable -- the teacher was a remarkable specimen -- she couldn't help feeling a little jealous. Carla was always in search of the next conquest -- would she never be satisfied with what she had? On the other hand, that insatiable appetite was part of what made Carla who she was; take it away, and you'd have a whole different person.
After class Carla went to the front of the room to chat up the teacher, but found herself having a hard time talking. She asked a couple of nonsensical questions, cursing herself inwardly; she felt like some awkward teenage boy who was scared to death of a pretty girl. Finally, steeling her nerves, she blurted out: "Um, listen, we're, um... having a party. On the 4th of July. Maybe you'd like to come?"
This was totally off-the-cuff, but it was not a bad idea; from their house they had a good view of numerous fireworks displays. Asha thought for a few seconds, her expression unreadable, and then answered diplomatically, "I don't think I have any plans for that day. Can I let you know?"
Carla nodded eagerly, inwardly disappointed at the ambiguous answer, but happy to take the small victory. Asha stepped away and quickly returned holding a phone, which she handed to Carla. "Give me your number?"
Slowly and clumsily, Carla entered her name and digits; her thumbs didn't seem to be working correctly. This was so unlike her, but finally she finished and gave the phone back to Asha, who favored her with a smile that lit up the whole room. "I'll be in touch," she said, and Carla turned to go, still a little embarrassed but also buoyant. She was already beginning to plan the party she had just promised.
By the time they got to the car she had decided that it would be a costume party and that she herself would dress up as Wonder Woman -- red, white, and blue, just perfect for the 4th. Looking Annabel up and down, Carla tried to think of ideas for her, but nothing came immediately. Well, there was time to figure that out.
Upon arriving home Carla immediately set to work creating an invitation -- she decided to make paper invitations, something she hadn't done in years. Sitting down at the computer, she had Annabel kneel between her legs -- she'd gotten quite worked up during yoga class, and was in need of some relief. Once she'd come, she had Annabel wait quietly while she worked until the itch returned.
