Lex woke in the morning feeling blissfully happy, and as the memories of the previous evening flooded back to her she became very aware that she was alone in the huge bed.
She stretched and rolled onto her back, listening for sounds from the bathroom but all was quiet. She began to think that Kate had left and was astounded at how sad that thought made her, but soon her other senses kicked in and she could smell fresh coffee and bacon wafting up from downstairs.
The early morning was cool so she slipped on a short silky robe and padded down the stairs seeking the source of the breakfast smells.
The vision of loveliness that greeted her as she entered the kitchen stopped her in her tracks and she stood leaning on the door frame watching, as Kate, dressed only in a loose shirt and panties flitted about the kitchen looking for mugs and plates, gently humming to herself.
Lex admired the shape of her legs and followed them up to the swell of her arse, asking herself how she got so lucky and silently thanking Kate for being so beautiful.
Soon enough Kate turned around, caught sight of Lex and screamed -- dropping the mug she had in her hands and watching in horror as it smashed into shards on the tiled kitchen floor.
'Morning gorgeous! Do I look that rough -- I don't usually make people scream, even first thing in the morning!'
'Oh Lex I'm so sorry, you made me jump -- how long have you been standing there?'
'Since I woke up alone and missed you.'
Lex slipped her feet into a pair of flip flops, walked across the tiles and gently lifted Kate onto the work surface so she didn't cut her bare feet. Standing between her open knees she wrapped her arms around Kate's waist and drew her in for a morning kiss.
As soon as she felt Lex's tongue Kate moaned in appreciation, her hands flying under the short robe to cup Lex's bare arse, kneading and caressing and pulling her closer, revelling in the feel of skin under her hands.
Lex caressed Kate's bare thighs from her knees upwards until she was lightly brushing her slit, making her moan louder and break the sizzling kiss.
'Much as I would love for you to do that all day, I didn't start making breakfast at 6am this morning for it to burn! I don't maintain this voluptuous figure by eating muesli you know, now help me down so I can finish breakfast, my gorgeous Amazonian biker babe!'
Lex reluctantly lifted her down from the work surface, admonishing her to stay away from the broken crockery while she swept it up, then planted herself down at the kitchen table to watch Kate finish breakfast.
Soon she was presented with a plate of bacon, eggs, mushrooms and toast and a cup of strong freshly brewed coffee.
'Mmmm this is delicious, but I'm surprised you found all the ingredients, I haven't been shopping for a few days -- I met this gorgeous woman and she's been keeping me distracted!'
'I told you I brought a few things with me' chuckled Kate 'What can I say -- I like breakfast and wanted to make sure.'
Lex started to clear the plates away but Kate stopped her, whisked them away and loaded them into the dishwasher. As she came back and bent over the table to collect the salt and pepper Lex's patience broke and she couldn't resist grabbing the firm cheeks that were displayed before her.
She bent over Kate's back, kissing her neck and caressing her arse until Kate straightened up and turned, pulling Lex into her and claiming her mouth fiercely.
'Oh god Lex, every time you touch me you set my skin on fire' and she hopped up onto the oak table, pulling Lex back between her knees and untying the sash on her robe.
Lex in turn unbuttoned Kate's shirt and slipped it off her shoulders, pulling her into a tight embrace to feel their flesh pressing together once more.
Kate lifted her hips as Lex pulled her panties over her arse and down her legs, shrugging the robe from her back in the process.
'Lay back for me honey' and as Kate reclined on the polished oak table, Lex leant over her, taking one of her nipples into her mouth, flicking it with her tongue as she sucked and nibbled. Her left hand reached for the other nipple -- the dual action lighting Kate up like a candle, and when Lex's free hand wandered down to her pussy and she inserted 2 fingers Kate was mewling and tangling her fingers into Lex's soft fluffy hair as she rode her hand to oblivion.
Kate came fast and hard, but Lex wasn't done with her yet. She scooted Kate closer to the edge of the table and knelt on the floor in front of her dripping pussy, her tongue finishing what her fingers had started.
Kate was gasping for breath and clutching at the table edge as the waves of pleasure pounded over her, until eventually Lex showed her mercy and reached out a hand to help her sit up.
Kate jumped down from the table and wrapped her arms around the taller woman's waist, licking her nipples roughly as she pushed her gently backwards out of the kitchen and into the lounge.
Lex was in no state to object and when she felt the arm of the sofa behind her legs she allowed herself to be pushed backwards, leaving her laying on the sofa with her legs in the air.
The sight was heaven to Kate and she dived in without hesitation, fingering Lex with hard, fast strokes while sucking and licking her clit until Lex was screaming like a banshee.
Kate wasn't about to let Lex off lightly either, and as she was starting to come down Kate took a soaked finger and caressed her arse, seeking entry into the tight hole.
There wasn't too much resistance and as Kate's finger worked it's way in and out, her mouth matched pace and tempo as she speared Lex's pussy with her tongue, reaching it in as far as it would go and curling it around.
Lex was going insane with pleasure, screaming Kate's name and pounding her hips up and down in time to the rhythm of that glorious tongue and finger, until she came in a torrent of sweet juice that was lapped up greedily.
Kate raised her sticky face and crawled up the sofa to lay on top of Lex, where they kissed and cuddled their way back down to earth.
Finally the 2 women gave in to reality and showered (separately to avoid distractions), dressed (quickly to avoid wandering hands) and prepared to leave for work.
Lex walked Kate to her car, holding her hand and carrying her bag for her, wishing they didn't have to go to work.
Lex bent her head to kiss Kate, tasting the mint toothpaste on her breath, and sighed deeply as she reluctantly pulled away.
Kate looked into Lex's amazing blue eyes and felt them touch her soul, even as they started to shimmer with unshed tears.
'What's the matter Babe? Why are you crying?'
'I know it's silly, but I don't want to let you go!' and she buried her face into Kate's neck, inhaling the scent of shower gel and perfume as she hugged her tightly.
'I can't breathe!' laughed Kate 'What are you worried about Babe? I'm not going anywhere other than to work, and neither are you. After work I want you straight back into my arms -- I'm far from done with you! There are parts of your body I haven't kissed properly yet and I'd quite like to tie those talented hands of yours to that amazing bed and keep you captive while I play with you for a while -- if that's ok?' raising an eyebrow and smirking at the look of lust that had replaced the tears in Lex's eyes 'I'll take that as a "yes" then shall I?'
Kate stood on tip toes and kissed the tip of Lex's nose, her eyes, her cheeks and finally her mouth, which opened invitingly for her.
Eventually Kate disentangled herself and climbed into her car, rolling the windows down to let the warming air escape she leant out and looked at Lex standing there and felt her chest heave.
'So, your place or mine tonight?'
'Up to you Honey, I'm happy to come to yours.'
'I'd be happy to have you come to my flat but I'd be happier to come here -- your bed's bigger!' she said with a grin.
'In that case you better hang on a minute' and Lex took off across the drive at a sprint, returning a moment later with a key.
'Maybe you should have this?' she said, almost shyly.
Kate stared at her (yes, she really thought of Lex as hers now!) gorgeous woman and took the key reverently. She knew how much Lex's house meant to her and was immensely proud that she had been presented with a key at this early stage in their relationship.
'Thank you Babe, I'll take good care of it' and she kissed Lex's hand, started the car and bumped her way down the track.
By 2.30 that afternoon Kate had had enough. She'd had a row with her boss over who to hire from the previous days interviews, she missed lunch because a meeting ran over and to cap it all the air conditioning broke down leaving her office feeling like a sauna.
The only thing that got her through the day was thinking about Lex and their time together, but she had to be careful as that certainly didn't help to cool her down.
She packed her briefcase and headed out of the door, driving like a maniac to her flat where she opened all of the windows and threw herself under a cool shower.
As she walked around the flat towelling her hair she felt something was wrong but couldn't put her finger on it.
She dressed in a pair of cool cotton shorts and a vest top, grabbed her holdall and a bottle of cold water from the fridge and headed for the front door.
Remembering she'd left the windows open she turned back into the flat and then it hit her -- the vase that stood on the living room windowsill was missing.
She did a full tour of the flat, closing windows as she went and looking in cupboards and drawers for any other missing items. Everything that belonged to Debs had gone -- fair enough, Kate had taken her things from Debs' flat, but why had she taken the vase? It had little monetary value but held great sentimental value for Kate having been given to her by her Mum long before she'd even met Debs, so why did she take it?
Kate looked in the bin in case it had been broken but there was no sign of it, so she locked up securely and left the flat, vowing she'd call a locksmith and get her locks changed.
She drove to the supermarket for supplies before taking a detour to Debs flat, where she rang the bell and waited patiently. When there was no answer, she cautiously let herself in with her key and walked into the lounge.
