Sun rays winnowed through rose-coloured sheers gracefully adrift on a warm summer breeze, before resting gently upon Sam's high-arched cheekbone. I felt blessed to be able to witness what only twenty-four hours earlier, I had only wondered.
I was awake long before the sun rose, long before Sam stirred. I'd time to watch her chest rise and fall as she peacefully slept, all the while resisting kissing her slightly parted lips. I'd traced the outline of her curvy silhouette with devout attention, desperately wanting to touch her but at the same time, not wanting her to wake...yet. I'd went over every single moment of the previous day's events, from the second she walked late into the book club, to the intense last kiss we shared before we fell asleep in each other's arms. I was more awake than I'd ever been; and I was as excited as a schoolgirl, full of wonder—and naivety—causing the adult inside me to be on the qui vive.
I took in another wide view of the room; I couldn't have dreamed this big. The bedroom had to be at least 1200 sq ft, with ten-foot ceilings. As far as I could tell, we were in the center of the room, laying upon a wrought-iron, four-poster, king-size bed that was fraught with sensual delights—velvety, down-filled, pillows so plush you felt like you were resting upon a cloud, sheets that were as cool to the skin as they were smooth—I assumed silk—and actual rose petals strewn about! A thick, white fur carpet covered most of the floor. (I'm not going to lie, I was dying to feel it between my toes.) Two walls were floor-to-ceiling windows, veiled with rose sheers, providing a diffused view to a demure blue sky.
I was embarrassingly aware how out of place I was. Part of me wanted to sneak out and keep all of this as a perfect memory but I couldn't get the rest of me to agree. I'm not sure if it was because I wanted her to shine on me again or if I wanted answers to the many questions I had buzzing around in my head like a disturbed bee's nest, or if it was because I thought myself in love with her, but, whatever the reason, I stayed; I chose to risk my significance.
"Good morning, Emily, "she said, slipping her arm around my waist and kissing my naked back.
I smiled. I enlivened. In that moment, I decided I wanted to be with her the rest of my life.
"Good morning, Chica." I wiggled my ass into her, then turned my head to meet her lips already reaching to meet mine.
She rolled me over, forcefully. Her hand reached up and pulled my lips to hers, kissing me with heated desire. She rolled again, this time winding up on top of me, her strawberry locks falling all around her, her breasts dangling like precious jewels I couldn't—didn't want to—take my eyes off of.
"I love when you call me, Chica! Say it again."
"Nunca quiero que este momento termine, Chica."
I'll never be certain, but I would swear she had a tear welling before she leaned in and kissed me long, soft and oh soooo sensuously, rendering me breathless.
"Are you hungry, at all? Never mind, of course you are! Let me show you where you can get cleaned up and I'll have Celia bring you something clean to wear while I arrange for a brunch fit for Queens!"
She didn't wait for a response; she wasn't asking. She leapt from the bed and grabbed my hands and pulled me up. My toes sunk into the plush fur carpet! I hadn't time to muse upon it long as Sam was pulling me quickly along behind her.
I'm not sure what I was expecting; maybe I still hadn't been able to wrap my head around the luxury, the infinite decadence. But the ensuite was posh in its highest form: white marble floors and countertops, gold taps, and cushy, rose-coloured towels folded in waiting. A massive, white-marble tile walk-in shower for four, a two-person deep bowl bathtub, and two bidets were the piece de resistance. My jaw dropped.
"It's a bit much, I know. But I always figure, one life...am I right?"
Sam was looking at me so intently I leaned in and kissed her.
She broke the kiss to say, "Mmmmmm, Baby. You have no idea what you do to me."
She pulled me to her even tighter and kissed me like she missed me. I was floating ten-feet off the ground.
At that moment, there was a loud buzz, effectively breaking her love spell. I looked around puzzled. Sam mouthed the words, "It's Celia."
"Good morning, Sam. Good morning, Emily." Celia's soft, breathy voice came through crystal clear over the speaker.
"Good morning, Celia, just the person I was wanting to speak with. Would you be a dear and bring Emily something—oh, I'm thinking that pink satin peignoir set! And me, hmmmm...my black silk man-pjams. Oh, and a breakfast buffet set for romance served on the patio in forty-five minutes."
"Will that be all?"
"For now," Sam paused to smile at me, "I'll buzz if Emily and I decide we want anything else."
As Sam talked with Celia, she maintained heated eye contact with me while rolling my nipple between her fingers. I was yelling at every cell in my body to stay calm, not to push her onto the counter and ravage her body.
"I want to bathe you. May I?" Sam leaned down and licked my nipple and then looked up at me for an answer.
"Chica, you can do anything, have anything, I'm yours."
"And you have that lovely hickey to prove it!" She laughed as she led me to the enormous walk in shower where she proceeded to lovingly, and with intense attention, wash my body from head to toe.
I wasn't sure how much more I could take when she leaned in and whispered, "I want you soooo bad!"
That was it. I couldn't hold myself back anymore. I pushed her up against the shower wall, pressing my wet soapy breasts against her wet soapy breasts, and I kissed her, hard. My tongue forced its way between her lips as my finger found its way to her place of bliss and we smiled when it slipped inside, our teeth momentarily clashing before our tongues made love again and again.
Tears rolled down my face and into our mouths. I curled my long finger, found her g-spot and began to rock in and out, thumb rubbing her clit, while we French-kissed. Sam's breathing became shallow and rapid. She was moaning and rolling her hips. I wanted to taste her. I wanted to drink her in. I dropped to my knees and began to lap her clit. She grabbed onto my head, pulling it to her sweet spot. I tongued it faster and faster, round and round, while she screamed my name and begged me not to stop. I sucked in her clit and tongued it as she came screaming, "I'm yours. I'm yours."
I licked every drop before I stood and kissed her. We hugged and I cried more tears as we kissed and twirled round and round.
"Brunch for two is now ready on the patio. Would you like anything else?" Celia's voice was sultry.
Sam smiled at me before answering Celia, "Thank you, Celia. I'm going to come and go over a few things with you while Emily gets herself ready."
"Really? You're going to leave me?"
