Author's note: This is a standalone story, but it continues the adventures of Mira and Claire, characters introduced in my story The Sommelier. I recommend reading that first for context. However, this story and future stories in this collection are meant to be standalones, unless indicated otherwise.
My motivation to continue these series is your comments, so if you want another installation of this or any of my other works, please leave a comment. Thank you!
"Don't tell me you're nervous?" Claire said, grinning as they entered the restaurant. "You're never nervous, babe," she said, pressing a cheek to her lover's face. Blonde with pale blue eyes, cute rounded cheeks, and a considerable bosom to contrast with her tight, pert ass, Claire was the picture of all-American sweetheart.
Mira Kawar, on the other hand, with a slimmer figure, but perkier breasts and a bigger ass, was quite different. Her ethnically ambiguous features made her distinctly foreign and yet hard to place, coppery brown skin and green eyes set beneath shoulder length brownish-black hair. She gave her lover's hand a squeeze as they sat down at the table with a reserved card on it.
"Well, she was my first teacher. Taught me everything." Mira fidgeted as the waiter served them water.
Claire giggled. "And I'm thankful for that every day."
Mira rolled her eyes. "I'm being serious, Claire. Getting my license was my ambition, ever since I met Professor Castelain." And now that she'd finally achieved it, she hoped she would make her teacher proud. But Professor Castelain was a high ranking member of the Sapphic Society, a world-renowned expert on sapphic pleasure and female sexuality. She was a hard woman to have as your mentor.
Claire shrugged and took a sip of her water. "Well, won't she be pleased you have such a hot, sexy girlfriend? And that you finished second in the licensing exam?"
Mira rubbed her neck awkwardly. "She doesn't really approve of monogamy. Or coming in second."
"Indeed, I do not," a Frenchwoman's voice purred behind them, "but I do not insist my students follow me blindly."
Mira jumped to her feet, her body tingling at the presence of her old teacher. Years ago, this woman's tongue and fingers had explored every inch of Mira's body, and Mira had done the same to her. And even though they had not seen each other in a long time, she still felt her loins tingle a bit at the sight. Professor Castelain seemed unaged, her dark hair as sleek and elegant as ever, slender toned legs nicely fitting the shape of her dark skirt, and her cleavage as appealing she had been when Mira first sat in her class. Her brown eyes held a cold appraising gaze as she surveyed her former student.
"Professor," Mira said, reaching out to give the woman a hug, and greeted by two airy kisses on her cheek. "You snuck up on us. This is my girlfriend, Claire."
"Enchante," Professor Castelain said, shaking Claire's hand with a firm grip. Claire was giving the older woman a look, as though wondering who was responsible for her girlfriend's career choices (and talents in the bedroom). "I never pictured you with someone so American, Mira. But it is nice to see you are happy."
She sat down across from them and ordered a bottle of wine. "You know, we're not really monogamous," Claire said, smiling nervously at Professor Castelain. Now she understood how intimidating the Professor was. "I mean, I only really sleep with Mira but she obviously plays with other girls as part of her sommelier work, and..."
"Play?" Professor Castelain raised her eyebrow. "No, what we do is not play. Cunt tasting is an art, not some hapless sport. Mira, I hope you've shown this girl what I taught you?"
"Of course," Mira replied, her cheeks flushing. She felt like a scolded schoolgirl all over again, having to redo her ass eating exercises. Not that she ever minded eating Professor Castelain's delicious dark star. "I actually met her at a tasting. She was... sublime. Best I've ever had."
Claire giggled happily and Mira felt the flush in her cheeks grow hotter, though more pleasurably so this time. She was happy with Claire, who submitted to her sexually and tolerated her work, which was rare in a woman of her quality and attractiveness. But she could already tell her Professor was unimpressed with her.
They ordered food and drank wine, and Professor Castelain turned the subject to more mundane matters than the subject other than cunt, such as how boring she found golf. As the conversation progressed, Professor Castelain was friendly enough to Claire, but Mira could feel some sort of disapproval emanating towards herself, the former student. Mira was curious as to why her professor was visiting California, as she rarely ventured to the United States. It turned out, she was lecturing and conducting tastings around the country.
"I'm looking for talent, quite simply put. Both sommeliers, and samples." She took a delicate sip of her wine, her eyes sweeping over to Claire. "Are you familiar with a sample, Claire?"
"Oh yeah, Mira's told me. That's a girl who trains for tastings. Acquires flavor and character to fit a certain profile, and competes in sampling competitions." She had already had two glasses and was only getting gigglier. "I went to one with Mira. It was pretty hot, but I did get a little jealous. It seemed like she really liked this one of the samples," Claire said, giving Mira a little playful nudge.
Mira smiled forcibly. She'd hoped to avoid mentioning a competition where she'd come in second to Shana, the Asian beauty who'd bested her at the licensing exam.
Professor Castelain, of course, knew of this. "Pity you didn't win that one, Mira." She clicked her tongue reprovingly. "I'm scouting that girl, Shana, actually. I'll be hosting the Grand Tasting next year, and I need to know who to invite."
Mira felt a touch of anger, and resisted the urge to make a snide comment about Shana. Instead, she merely nursed her wine and shrugged. "Well, she's got some talent but I know I can best her. After all, I studied under you."
