Firstly, I want to thank all of you who commented that I don't need an editor. That gave me the courage to continue. However, when I try to put what I'm fantasizing about into words, they elude me. That's when I would like someone else to write sensual, sex scenes for me. Mine still come up short when compared with the better Literotica writers. Bear with me. I'll keep trying to reach the level of writers like Laura (Lauralifeisshort)
That said, I was able to talk Laura

into editing this chapter (six). Unfortunately, she has time constraints that prevent her from editing additional chapters; therefore, I continued to self-edit the remaining chapters - seven through ten - that are completed and ready to submit.
Janet's Tongue ch. 6
Olivia shook her head, "Our lives are hectic all the time. Appearances, fundraising, campaigning. It never ends. Sometimes we need some time away from each other, just to stay in touch with ourselves and to stay sane," she explained.
"I didn't know. I'm sorry for assuming. I meant no disrespect," Janet said.
Olivia shook her head and waved dismissively. "No worries. I understand, I just wanted to know what you thought, and you thought what any respectable woman should think."
Andrew returned with two bowls of lobster bisque and set them down in front of the two women.
"So," Olivia said taking a spoon in her hand, "tell me about yourself, Janet."
Well, there isn't much to tell," Janet answered nervously. "I grew up and went to school here, and I've been having a difficult time finding a job since I graduated from college. That sort of sums up my life."
"And now you're here with me," Olivia said with a pleasant smile.
"Yes, Ma'am," Janet nodded.
"So not only was this a last resort, this is your first assignment, right?" Olivia asked, knowing the answer.
"Yes," Janet answered, glancing down, "but I have had...training."
Olivia raised her eyebrows quizzically and asked, "Training? What training, specifically?"
"Well, you know...like...being intimate," Janet stammered before taking a spoonful of soup into her mouth.
Olivia smiled. She couldn't deny that she had found Janet alluring at first sight. She was adorably cute and so naive, and Olivia was pleased to learn that she had a good head on her shoulders too. But the night was young and Olivia knew there was still much to find out. "I understand that you're a virgin, right?" Olivia asked, looking directly at Janet.
The direct question made Janet shudder. "Yes ma'am," she answered demurely. "It's embarrassing. I hope that won't be a problem."
"Have you broken your hymen yet?" Olivia pressed further.
"My hymen? Um...no. I don't think so," Janet responded, clearly flustered.
"Has your pussy ever bled from pushing things in?" Olivia prodded, not letting Janet off the hook.
"No...I mean...well...I've never pushed anything inside myself," Janet admitted.
"Not even a finger or two," Olivia asked, genuinely surprised/
"No...ma'am," Janet said quietly, blushing at her own inexperience.
Janet went back to eating her soup quietly, worried that her answers might be upsetting Olivia. The older woman's face was stoic, and she gave no clue whether the information was good, bad, or indifferent.
Although Janet couldn't read Olivia's face, she found her increasingly attractive as she learned more about the governor's wife. She wondered if Olivia was content with Janet so far, She thought back to some things Roxanne had told her - ask questions to put the ball in the other person's court.
"May I ask how your day was, ma'am?" Janet asked.
"Exhausting. Frustrating. Monotonous," Olivia said in a resigned tone.
"But you were productive, weren't you?"
"I was," Olivia shrugged.
"Then it was a good day," Janet said hopefully.
"I guess it was," Olivia said without feeling.
Andrew returned carrying a silver platter and placed beautifully-adorned plates of grilled salmon and asparagus spears in front of each of them and collected their soup bowls. "Madam, there is a call from Miss Barnes for you," Andrew informed Olivia. "Would you like me to take a message?"
"No, I'll take it, Andrew. Thank you," Olivia said, and she stood up. "Finish your dinner, Janet. I'll only be a minute," Olivia said firmly, but in a pleasant voice.
"Yes, ma'am," Janet replied, and she ate the rest of her dinner alone. The rich, savory food was so delicious that it almost brought tears to her eyes. She couldn't remember a meal that had ever tasted so good. Olivia still hadn't returned by the time Janet finished, but Andrew collected the dishes and placed a decorated sorbet in front of Janet.
"Excuse me, but is the First Lady still occupied?" Janet asked.
"Yes, miss, she is. Would you like me to give her a message?" Andrew asked in his formal tone.
"Oh, no, that won't be necessary," Janet said. "Thank you, sir." She was in awe that she had been served a delicious dinner by a butler. Her present financial circumstances even ruled out a waitress serving a poor meal. Other than what Margritte had bought her this morning, she had been surviving on bread, cheese, and apples for weeks until her money ran out.
"Is there anything else I can get you?" Andrew asked. Janet smiled and told him that she was fine. The man bowed politely and carried the dishes away, leaving Janet alone again. As she enjoyed the sorbet, she wondered about what was to come. Her heart beat faster in nervous anticipation, and Janet hoped that she would satisfy Olivia's expectations.
The wait wasn't long before Jessica came into the dining room. "If you're finished, the First Lady would like you to wait in the upstairs guest room," Jessica said.
"Oh. OK. Sure," Janet said. She stood up and followed Jessica up the stairs and down a hall into a room Jessica opened for her.
"You can wait in here," she said curtly to Janet. "Ms. Olivia will join you when her business is concluded."
As Janet marveled at the rich furnishings, Jessica left the room and closed the door behind her, leaving her in a bedroom sparsely furnished with a queen-sized bed, a dresser, ornate mirrors, and a velvet cushioned bench at the foot of the bed. There was also an adjoining bathroom, and Janet went in and turned on the light. The bathroom was spacious, with tiled walls, and double basin sinks with waterfall faucets that came straight out of the wall and flowed into the bowls. It was very beautiful, Janet thought, as she slid her fingers along the marble countertop. Janet heard the door close in the bedroom and stepped out to see that Olivia had returned.
"I'm sorry ma'am. I was just admiring your bathroom" Janet almost apologized.
Olivia sat down on the bench and patted it next to her. Janet walked over and sat down, trying to be as graceful and confidant as she could. Olivia immediately ran her fingers through Janet's hair. It was soft and silky, thanks to the magic of the salon stylists.
"Have you ever had a boyfriend?" Olivia inquired.
