Part 2 of this story is also the conclusion so NOT a slow burn, so if you are looking for a story to fulfil a need, this may be it. It is a story based in facts, with a healthy dose of fiction and a generous amount of fantasy. It is up to the reader to tell the difference. All of the participants are over 18.
It helps if you have read the first part. I have been asked to explain what a Beat is? In Australia, the term beat is used to refer to an area frequented by gay men, where sexual acts occur, almost always anonymously. I'd like to acknowledge the help I got from Rockahula for his editing, and guidance, not only with this story but some of my other works and of the sweet Pixieoff, for her genuine encouragement and general hints. I strongly recommend you read some of her stories and visit her in the chat room called Emily's Escorts.
Erica started eating her Tarte Tatin, that's French for pie, today it was apple, it was served plain and two small silver jugs were placed on the table, one filled with fresh cream the other with plain vanilla custard. Mary sat back her hands in her lap, as she instinctively let Erica choose which topping she wanted. She chose the cream, and indicated that there was only a need for one glass for the next serving. She did so with not so much as glance, because not a word was spoken. A bottle of JuranΓ§on moelleux was placed on the table and Evie silently poured a small glass for her Mistress. Nodded quietly and withdrew. Mary sat there thinking about all that had gone on since she walked into this amazing world. How she felt at home, safe, comfortable.
Erica, after taking a sip of the sweet French desert wine, turned to Mary
"Now tell me more about your desires and how women fit into them?"
There was a small chuckle as Mary took a piece of the Tarte Tatin and slowly started to eat. She smiled, then looked at Erica, with an intensity that even surprised her. What was happening here, she thought.
"Where to start Erica? I first thought about 'being' with a woman, way back when I was so much younger. But like all teenage fantasies of pop stars and movie stars I put it to one side and never bothered with it." She thought about the crush she had on Alyson Hannigan and how she wanted to be with Sharon Stone. She came back to now in an instant and laughed as she told Erica about her teenage crushes.
"I was so into Alyson Hannigan from Buffy, and when she kissed another girl, oh wow I nearly melted. I know I thought I'd wet myself." She laughed again. "And my big brother hired a video with Sharon Stone in it, I was way too young to have been allowed to watch it, but he left it laying around, so I did what little sisters did back then. I watched it." They both burst into laughter simultaneously.
"What was the name of that movie again" and then together they said
"Basic Instinct" and they both laughed as the crossed their legs under the table, knocking knees, 'ouching' and laughing together. Erica reached out and held her hand, patting it,
"Oh Mary, what are you doing here sweetie. This place is a haven for predatorial types. If you aren't careful you'll get hurt." Mary looked down at their hands clasped together and instinctively raised them to her lips. She kissed her hand while looking into Erica's eyes
"Are you a predator?" She asked and before there was an answer she said "I'm a big girl Erica, I think I can tell the difference between who is hunting and who the prey are." There was a smile on her lips.
"Oh, really. This isn't the local community club where all the husbands are talking to their wives, while eyeing off the rest of the room."
"My Paul wouldn't do that" Mary said with a wicked smirk on her face.
"Oh no" Said Erica "But what about Paul's other half, I hear she is a bit of looker herself."
Mary laughed, "Oh yeah, she looks at all the other women, not the men." Then stopped herself and said it again more slowly "I do, I look at all the other women."
Erica sat back and reset her arms along the back of the seat, crossed her legs, looked down for a short while. "Mary" she said looking up "You really do want to experience something don't you?" Mary nodded, not saying a word. "And you have this thing about getting some anonymous woman to grab you in some dirty dark alley, and to give you your first bit of gay sex." Mary's eyes were wide open and she smiled.
