The Matrons of Regal Bay
Chapter 11
Elena's Tales -- Part 1
The final six-week grading period had started for the students of Regal Bay High, and as much as the young men and women looked forward to their summer vacation, the faculty members were just as exhausted by the long school year and had begun to look forward to the break as well. For Elena Adamson however, the school break would only provide her with more time to spend at the community library. Elena was the school librarian and as such enjoyed the freedom of not having to deal with teaching students, grading papers, and handling confrontations within the classroom. With the exception of the first week or two of school in the autumn, when she would instruct students on the intricasies of the Dewey Decimal System, identifying the sections of the library, and how to log in to the dozens of provided computer stations in the I.T. section, Elena had little contact with the students. The class teachers were responsible for everything while the library was being used. Any books checked out or returned would be handled by one of Elena's student assistants.
A couple times a week, Elena met with her sometime-lover Denise Hoyt in the high school parking lot during their shared lunch hour, to indulge in their shared attraction. Both women were bisexual. Elena was a divorced mother of two adult children, and Denise was a married mother of two, whose children were still in elementary school. Denise's husband Don was also a teacher at the high school. Nine years separated the women, with Elena a mature 45 and Denise a youngish looking 36. In fact, Denise could easily pass for a woman in her twenties, a reason Elena found herself so attracted to her.
Elena was a big woman, standing 6 foot even, though she did not run to fat. She was from up-state Minnesota, the lake country, and was of classic Scandinavian decent. She wore her nearly white blonde hair long and loose, the waves cascading down her back well below her shoulder blades. She portraited the classical vision of a Norse Goddess from early on. A rough and tumble girl growing up, Elena had played both ice and field hockey in school, lettering in both disciplines in high school which lead to scholarship offers from several universities. She accepted the offer from the University of Minnesota at Duluth, just an hour away from home. While at school, Elena had discovered not only a passion for Library Science, but a true knack for it. She also met, and eventually married, her first husband, Eric Adamson; no relation though they coincidently shared the same last name.
Elena and Eric settled in St. Paul after graduating. She had already born a son, Jason, by the time she had graduated, and shortly after being hired on at the municipal library, she discovered that she was pregnant. Janice would be born later that year. A year after that, Elena discovered that she had as much passion for women as she had for the library. Eric, on the other hand, never could find work in his degree field, and ended up bouncing from job to job.
By the time her children were in school, Elena had filed for divorce from Eric. Eric argued but eventually relented to the "irreconcilable circumstances". Elena had by this time taken over as a branch manager and on weekends she enjoyed expanding her newly open lifestyle by dating several young women.
During this time, however, Elena met another man who would change her life. Craig Harrison was a teacher at her children's school and Elena often discussed their progress with him over the phone or in person. Craig was a ruggedly handsome man, quite the opposite vision one would associate with a school teacher, especially an elementary level teacher. Elena discovered that he was something of a gentle giant and grew fond of him. He wasn't married, and in fact was just a year younger than her own thirty-years at the time they first dated. Strangely, Craig didn't mind Elena's lifestyle, and often told her that he was there for her whenever she wanted to "cross back to the other side of the tracks", as he put it.
Over dinner one night in December, after Christmas shopping together through the Mall of America, Craig announced that he was returning to his home town to take a position as principal at one of the new elementary schools. Regal Bay, he explained, was growing rapidly and there was great opportunity for advancement in his future there. He also told Elena that should she be interested, the library system was also in need of new employees, especially those with the skills she demonstrated daily. Elena though it over during the holidays, and a week before Craig was due to leave, she accepted his offers. One, of a move across country to a new and exciting start. Two, of an offer of marriage. Both of her children loved Craig, and it was easy enough to convince them that life on the Pacific Coast might be a little better than the upper Mid-West. It helped that Minnesota was in the midst of one of its colder winters. Both Jason and Janice were eager to see the west coast. Their father, however, wasn't so thrilled at the idea, and balked at signing off. Eventually he did, however. Elena suspected that Craig may have paid her ex-husband a visit to convince him.
Elena and her children had settled in well in the Regal Bay community. She hired on to organize and manage a new library branch on the north end of the community. Craig took his place as principal at the newly opened South Bay Elementary School. And for four years, they enjoyed a good life together. That all ended when Craig was fired when it was discovered that he was embezzling money from the school funds. Elena had known nothing about what her husband had been up to. Neither did she know about his cheating on her, not until it came out that it had been his secretary and lover that had ratted him out to the school board. In court, it had come out that she had given Craig the ultimatum of divorcing Elena and marrying her, or she'd talk. Craig had tried to buy her off, but instead provided her with all the evidence the school board needed to file charges. Craig was arrested and went to jail.
Elena filed for divorce and officially became Elena Adamson once again. That had been almost ten years ago. Craig had been released after six years, but left Regal Bay soon after. In that time, Elena had returned to enjoying the company of women, most notably younger women. She had taken to Denise Hoyt early on, just months after the slender brunette hired on at the beginning of a school year. It hadn't taken Elena much effort to introduce the married mother of two to the sinful pleasures of lesbian love making.
Both women had lit up a Kool-brand cigarette the moment they had exited the teacher's entrance. They made their way towards the back of the lot where Elena had parked. With a brief look around to check for witnesses, they ground out their cigarettes and slipped into the middle seat of Elena's mini-van, through the side door furthest from the school.
Once inside, Elena was quick to begin unfastening the front buttons of Denise's knee-length denim dress. "Not wasting any time?" Denise asked as she stroked Elena's arms. Her top was pushed open and beneath it the younger woman wore a plain black bra. Her breasts were small, only a b-cup, which added to that youngster look Elena craved so sinfully.
"You know I don't like wasting time, Beautiful," Elena told her. She then pulled Denise's mouth to hers and kissed her younger lover, though only briefly. She pulled Denise's arms free and helped as Denise lifted her hips to completely remove the garment down her long, skinny legs. This left her seated in only her black bra and matching panties. Elena ran her hands across her young lover's exposed flesh, even as Denise gasped when a car passed by.
