Kim carefully pulled up the driveway.
Stepping out of the car she tried as hard as she could to close the door quietly. She walked up the short cobbled path that led to the front door of the house, with her keys at the ready.
She slid her key in, turned it quickly and rotated the door handle as slowly as possible.
Taking stealth like steps into the hall way she turned around to close the door behind her with as much silence as she could control.
The smell of chocolate wafted around the room, making it sweet and inviting.
Kim saw her lover from the living room standing at the kitchen table with her back to her. She started to walk through the living room, every step eased with as little pressure as possible.
Heading towards the kitchen she let her mind race with all the imaginary thoughts that she wished to turn into a reality.
She came up behind her lover and wrapped her arms around the woman's firm waist, rests her chin on her shoulder and kissed her neck softy.
The smell of her lover's hair hit her, the scent of apricots and honey filtered their way into her senses. She breathed it in, loving the fragrance.
"Looks good" Kim whispered, meaning both the mixture in the bowl and the woman in her arms.
"What are you making?" Kim asked.
"You have such a bad memory, it's for the charity run tomorrow they are having stalls remember" replied Shannon, rolling her eyes in exasperation.
"I remembered, I just didn't think we were taking something homemade" says Kim expressing a slight frown.
"Good job someone around here thinks for you then".
Kim shrugged and decided to change the subject "You know i could have been an intruder and you wouldn't have heard".
"That's because I knew it was you, I heard your car pull up".
"Damn" Kim thought.
"I'll have to leave it in another street so I don't get busted next time" realizing she had said it out loud before she could stop herself.
"Now you know trying to think smart always lands you in trouble" replied Shannon with an unsuppressed giggle.
"I've been pretty much in trouble since the day I met you" said Kim while turning Shannon around to face her.
"That's true, but you like the kind of trouble I bring to your life" stated Shannon with a confident tone.
Kim pulled her near, and could think of no excuse that was good enough to object to her lover's remark. So instead she took the next best action, and quickly stole the chance to kiss her lover.
They both got lost in the moment, the gentle pressure of their warm soft lips engaging in a dance of pleasure.
Kim guided her hands over Shannon's back, and the kiss got deeper. The tension became denser between their bodies.
The kiss flowed over into the rest of their bodies, the desire being absorbed into their body temperatures and heart rate. It enveloped them, and the strength that came from it made neither of them want to break free.
Kim pulled Shannon even closer wishing the clothes they wore were not an obstruction.
She began to part Shannon's lips with her tongue, an action that is met with no resistance.
As if by the very last will of Shannon's consciousness she dropped the stirring spoon on the floor, unable to resist the need to respond to her lover.
A swift change occurred as they started to develop a need to go with the desire that is now ready to take over both of them.
Unable to stop their hands from exploring, the kiss was sending them to dizzy heights.
Shannon finally willed herself to break of the bliss they were both giving each other.
Kim looked at her with what could only be described as shear wickedness and lust.
She lifted Shannon and perched her on the end of the table.
Kim stood right in front of her.
Shannon wrapped her legs around Kim's waist trapping her.
"Try to get out of that" Shannon said all smug.
"I don't want to get out of this, anyway it seems like you are the one who's in a more compromising position right now" Kim countered.
"Oh really and how do you figure that out when I have you clamped here between my legs".
The exchange of words was teasing, the potency in their daring nature very clear.
"Well I can do all sorts of things to you with my hands for starters, like this" said Kim.
She began to glide her hands along her lover's bare thighs, moving slowly towards the ragged edge of the faded blue denim shorts, only stopping when her fingers are restricted and can move no further.
"How frustrating" Shannon mocked.
Kim fingers change direction, she began to unbutton the lower three buttons on Shannon's shirt.
Her fingers felt the change in temperature from the cool cotton to the warmth of Shannon's smooth skin. The feeling was so tantalising that Kim's hands willed themselves to do some further exploration.
She felt Shannon's breath on her face, sweet with smell of chocolate.
"Just what do you think you are trying to achieve?" Shannon questioned.
Kim looked at her and thought for a split second.
"Whatever I feel like" and with that the challenge was set.
Her fingertips traced a circle over Shannon's stomach, and then changed direction moving towards her upper abs.
Shannon decided at least for the moment to let her lover have her fun. She grasped the edge of the table and relaxed her posture.
Kim moved her one hand down again, then gave a playful tug at the top of Shannon's shorts, moving her fingers over the metal button she quickly flipped it out of the hole that held it.
Shannon released a breath sharply, knowing that this will only play into Kim's hands even more.
Trying to sound steady and casual Shannon leaned forward and whispered in Kim's ear "You know that mixture is going to be ruined if it's left much longer".
"Well we better not waste it then" replied Kim with one raised eyebrow and a deliciously wicked grin.
Kim leaned over to the mixing bowl and scooped some of the smooth chocolate mixture onto her index finger.
She wiggled it about in front of Shannon's face with a teasing expression "Now I wonder what I should do with this" her look turning more menacing.
