On the long journey across the state, Val thought about her new relationship with Jill and how she had cleaned up in such a short amount of time. Val thought that maybe Samantha her new boss, and Val's former lover, may try to seduce her to having sex and Val could be okay with that if it didn't break up the relationship. Val had been getting second thoughts about letting Jill stay with her and knew that she had to be honest with her when she got back about her doubts when she returned. As much as she desired Jillian, she thought that her own desires for older more mature women may become a problem with her own ability to be in a monogamous relationship. Besides, she knew Samantha would make a move on her and probably seduce her into something, but as much as Val cared about Jill, she wasn't sure that Jill really wanted to be with her long term.
Valerie had hired an attorney from a prestigious firm that knew all about land rights, mineral and oil mining and the environmental impacts of all. She chose the firm carefully, but was assigned a lawyer by the firm and was pleasantly surprised when it turned out to be a very attractive young bi racial woman. Yvette had been on the job for only a few years and was one of just a few "head turners" in a law firm that mostly dealt with acquiring land from individuals so that oil and gas companies could either plant a pipeline or drill for gas or oil. In this case, the company was hired to represent the landowner, and make sure that Val got the proper compensation for the mineral rights.
Yvette had been raised in Chicago and was still single at 33. She had moved to Denver to seek new challenges and while she realized that her skills doing community work on the South Side of her home town had its advantages, she hoped that meeting new people and helping others in the west could also prove to be enjoyable. Her shapely body, toned by endless yoga and swimming workouts was also very strong but not overly muscular. She tolerated her hair being straight but secretly she wanted it back in braids and with an outlandish color like pink or purple.
Her style of dressing had to be corporate but she favored wearing tight fitting blouses with no bra so she could show off her rather large nipples. In many ways she had a dancer's body, long shapely legs and small breasts. She knew men were straining to see her wiggle down the street, but not so secretly, she checked out many of the women's faces who paid her some mind in the course of her day. Yvette had totally accepted her decision to be lesbian and enjoyed every minute of it, and didn't take any shit from anyone who knew her preference. She was a bit apprehensive about meeting her client today, she was always more comfortable with older, dowdy looking women but heard from her office that Valerie was quite an attractive, smart woman with a keen sense of business knowledge. The lawyer glanced at the clock and realized it was exactly the time that Valerie has said she'd be there, and suddenly there was soft knock on the door.
Yvette opened the door to find Valerie standing there with her files in her hand and a coffee in the other. "Hello, are you...?" Valerie seemed speechless at the sight of the young woman.
"Why hello, you must be my client Valerie? I'm Yvette, please come in and take a seat at my short but convenient conference table!" Yvette was stunned by this attractive, Native American woman. But she had been warned that Valerie was all business and would demand the best representation in this very important meeting in a few hours. She wasn't expecting a stunningly beautiful woman as her client.
"Can I get you something to drink, a coffee or something stronger?"
"Thanks, I had a snack after I unpacked and freshened up for the meeting."
After a lengthy introduction by Valerie about how she was raised and how she inherited the property, Yvette explained how the negotiation would probably go. She had worked with the company that sought the rights before, and was confident she could get the company to pay a justified amount for access to the mineral rights.
Yvette looked at her watch and they still had a good ninety minutes before they were to meet the other attorneys in a conference room on another floor.
Valerie and Yvette began chatting about how they were raised as children. They shared about there early adolescence and college. Yvette was in awe of how Valerie was raised by her parents, self taught and yet very disciplined. How this smart and attractive Native American had taken some courses in California one year but despite everything going for her, had to come back home. She had planned to major in business, but was called back to take care of her ill parents. Yvette totally identified with the family demands as her sister was disabled and her parents passed early on, leaving Yvette to care for her. Valerie saw the hints of a relationship here but knew to keep it professional for the next few hours anyway.
Yvette couldn't stop staring at Valerie's firm body, her subtle coffee colored skin was so arousing to the young lawyer.
You know Val, can I call you Val?"
"Please," She said looking deep in her new friend's eyes, she wondered what Yvette did for fun and if it ever involved getting intimate with another woman.
The women found that they had much in common about their tastes in food and clothes too.
"I got these winter boots in a store in Arizona a few months ago, I love the color and the design, the price wasn't too steep either!" Yvette shared. As she showed her newest boots off the attractive lawyer hiked up her skirt trying to see what reaction she'd get from her new client.
Valerie took the casual look but surprised Yvette when she ran her two fingers up her stockings and caressed the young lawyer's thigh as she felt the material and pattern. The unsuspected sense of Val's touch made the experienced litigator blush and feel very aroused for a few seconds.
"The boots are nice, but I LOVE that pattern you're wearing with those stockings, are they comfortable?" Valerie asked innocently after she caressed the young lawyer's leg.
Their eyes met for a few seconds, which seemed longer because they both sensed a mutual desire to go for something deeper, but the moment passed and Val backed away.
Yvette was thrown a curve. Val's touch was so alarmingly sensual and yet very innocuous. She wanted the woman to touch her again, but she couldn't risk the chance of any physical contact before such an important negotiation.
"Oh, I, I, really don't remember where I got those,but aren't they really cool!" She managed to stumble out, sort of complimenting her own taste.
"Well, Im going to go back to my room and freshen up a bit more, its been a long drive here and you can see we're going to get some snow this evening, so I'm not going anywhere tomorrow, I 'll see you in a bit, in the conference room on the mezzanine."
