Prologue:
This is my 19th erotic story and Literotica submission. I am always indebted to Candy_Kane54 (CK) for her continuing commitment to helping me improve my writing style. CK has provided 100 percent of the editing and style advice for all 19 stories. I am so grateful since I would have never written these stories without CK's enthusiastic and continuing support.
My Lesbian Romance stories focus on the trials and lives of strong and powerful women. Romance, not sex, is the driving factor in these stories, which are 100 percent Fiction; however, many are based on real-life experiences of friends or acquaintances.
Most stories are lesbian love and romance heavy with children all about them. As a general rule, no overt sexual activity occurs while children are present in the home. Maintaining this rule requires that relatives and friends share active roles in the stories, allowing the little ones a fun place to visit when the sex heats up at home.
All explicit sexual activities in this story are lesbian, with young ladies aged 21 or older. Like my other stories, WANNA PAINT builds slowly with lots of personal and business details before any sexual activity occurs. Most explicit sex scenes feature a dominant but absolutely loving woman as the definite TOP controlling the action.
If this is your type of Lesbian Romance-Love-Sex Story ... ENJOY!
NOTE:
This chapter of Wanna Paint takes place in Beaufort and Charlotte, NC. Therefore, seven of the Primary Charlotte Characters and five Honorable Mentions are from my previous story, 'The Move Home.' To fully understand the several nuances in this chapter, one should first read 'The Move Home.'
VISITING GALLERY'S BY SAM @ CHARLOTTE
The Beaufort Gallery Opening Gala was a roaring success, and the entire team was very pleased. Di and Tarza had taken three days off for some well-deserved loving R&R. Di's parents looked after June and Risse while the new girlfriends hibernated at the gallery's upstairs luxury en suite apartment.
While Di and Tarza were on R&R, Carl, the newest gallery member, briefly stopped by Di's bungalow to say hello to June and Risse. During the gala, John and Marsha had taken quickly to the young, quiet, Black American fourteen-year-old, asking him to stay for dinner one night. Carl really enjoyed the lovely dinner with Di's parents while also catching up on the latest gossip with June and Risse.
Di's mom and dad remained in Beaufort for a few extra days after Di and Tarza's love hiatus ended. The bungalow was now a bit crowded with Di and Tarza back home. Di gave her parents the girls' bedroom so they had some privacy. Di, Tarza, June, and Risse slept in the en suite MBR with their moms, which had a nice Castro convertible sofa that the girls shared.
Di mostly worked on the 2024/25 school year's Exception Program Curriculum and other business school projects. She was also studying intensely for two tough special exams she needed to complete her five-year BA/MBA in three years.
Tarza, June, Risse, and Carl were often found at the gallery removing several temporary exhibit items from the grand opening gala. Five special events and two regular exhibition weekends were scheduled for October and November, totaling seven function activities before the Christmas Holiday season started at Thanksgiving.
So, the timing was perfect for Di, Tarza, and the girls to visit Charlotte and evaluate whether Sam should offer to purchase and renovate an older art gallery. Di and Tarza's schedules were easily open for a four to seven-day Charlotte visit. If all preceded as anticipated in Charlotte, there would soon be three galleries owned by Sam's Art Holdings LLC as follows:
Gallery's By Sam @ Beaufort, NC
Gallery's By Sam @ Charlotte, NC
Gallery's By Sam @ Savannah, GA
Di took the girls out for lunch and shopping, leaving Tarza free to contact the Charlotte, NC art major, MCsee Allison Walker-Evans.
MCsee answered on the first ring, asking, "Who's calling as this call is not from a local Charlotte area code?"
Tarza replied, "I am Tarza Lee Milford and the Gallerist for Gallery's By Sam @ Beaufort, NC. We also currently have a Gallery's By Sam @ Savannah, GA, which is our flagship gallery.
"Is this MCsee Allison Walker-Evans speaking?" queried Tarza.
MCsee responded warily, "Yes, I am MCsee, and what do you want?"
Tarza replied, "Mr. Samuel J Harrison, who goes by Sam, asked me to speak with you concerning an art gallery our company intends to purchase in Charlotte. Sam's Art Holdings LLC has already approved the current gallery's location site, including a tentative six-month renovation schedule. However, we must first confirm that all is in order with the gallery's financials.
"Your name was given to Sam as an excellent prospect for the Gallerist position with the newly reorganized Charlotte gallery. In addition to being the Beaufort, NC Gallerist, I am also a minority owner with a 25% stake.
"If we can successfully negotiate the Charlotte gallery's purchase, you would be offered the Gallerist position with a similar ownership plan. The 25% stake in the Charlotte gallery would be a substantial component of your full pay package."
MCsee cut in quickly, "Are you really serious, Tarza?"
"Dead Serious!" replied Tarza.
Tarza explained, "My girlfriend, Di is an Associate Dean of Special Programs in the Duke Fuqua School of Business-Beaufort, NC, on the Marine Biology Campus. Di is also a board member of Sam's Art Holdings LLC. So, she and I would like to visit Charlotte in two weeks' time, staying for three or four days.
"We have two young daughters, Risse, age 6, and June, age 12, and will bring them with us as a special treat for their being good girls. Our recent Beaufort Grand Opening Gala was a lot of work, but our girls were 100% on board in helping make the gala an amazing success.
"Risse absolutely loves to paint and has been saying '
wanna paint'
