Mikki watched Kate as she recovered, gently stroking her leg. Eventually, Kate's breathing slowed and she returned to a somewhat coherent state. Kate could see Mikki had a slight smile on her face. She moved her head to the edge of the couch and they kissed briefly. Slowly, Kate sat up and Mikki climbed onto the couch and sat next to her, holding Kate's hand; interlocking their fingers. Mikki put her head on Kate's shoulder as they sat there in the semi-dark room, watching the colors change on the screen, listening to the playlist as
Fleur Blanche
by Γrsten started. Other than the music, Kate and Mikki sat next to each other, naked; silently motionless.
"Are you okay?" Mikki eventually whispered.
"Yeh; I think so." Kate quietly replied, followed by more silence; listening to the music.
Mikki sat up and reached for Kate's chin, turning her head towards her. She looked at Kate and kissed her softly. Kate returned the kiss and turned her body slightly towards Mikki. They kissed some more; softly...sensually. Kate broke the kiss and the two leaned their foreheads against each other, looking into each other's eyes.
"I'm not sure what just happened," Kate whispered with a slight smirk.
"We made each other cum?" Mikki retorted, trying to ease any tension.
Kate quietly laughed. "You know what I mean," Pulling her head away from Mikki's.
They looked at each other while the playlist continued.
"Did you plan this?" Kate asked in a hushed tone.
"No...yes...sorta," Mikki whispered. "But...I'm not upset it happened," she added.
"You didn't have to get me drunk, Mikki," Kate whispered with a slight smile.
"What on earth do you mean, girl?" Mikki declared.
"Don't bullshit me," Kate countered with a slight chuckle.
Mikki looked blankly at Kate, then reached behind Kate's head and pulled her in for another long kiss.
They adjusted their bodies to the best position possible, continuing their kisses on the couch. Kate gently grasping Mikki's left breast; lifting it, rubbing her nipple in a circular motion with her thumb. Mikki's hand reached for Kate, caressing her breasts and torso lightly with her knuckles; sliding up to her neck, then grabbing the back of her head again. They kissed sensually for a few more minutes.
Mikki broke the kiss and stood, taking Kate's hand. "Come," she said softly. Mikki led Kate out of the theater, through the party room and towards the pool area. Mikki stopped to take off her socks. Both beautiful women were now completely naked.
"Um, won't someone see us?" Kate whispered with worry in her voice, her eyes slowly adjusting from the darkness.
"No; tall fence, too many trees and bushes. You'll see once we're outside. The only way to see us is from a plane above. Besides, who cares?" she answered, looking deeply into Kate's green eyes.
Mikki opened the sliding door, pulling Kate outside. She stopped and turned towards Kate, looking her up and down, still holding her hand. "My God...you're beautiful, Kate," Mikki sighed, complimenting her.
Kate smiled slightly, looked at Mikki, then down her body. For a woman nearly 40 years old, Kate was amazed with Mikki's shape. The two kissed; embracing each other as sunlight illuminated them. Mikki grabbed Kate's other hand, interlocking fingers and running their hands up and down their bodies together as they kissed passionately again. Both of the women's wedding rings sparkled in the abundant sunlight.
"C'mon," Mikki urged, leading Kate to the shallow end of the pool. They walked into the pool and down semi-circular steps and sat; their breasts barely covered by the water. Mikki kissed Kate again. "So, girlfriend...this isn't your first rodeo with a girl, is it?" Mikki asked, leaning back against the steps on her elbows.
Kate sighed, looking at Mikki, "No." Then fell silent.
Mikki waited for more. "Go on, girlfriend. I'm your newest, closest best friend now. Tell me," Mikki said with a sly smile.
It dawned on Kate that second. Mikki was supposed to be a business partner. In the past hour she had become a lover...a playmate...another bi encounter. Would Mikki use this against her? Would Mikki blackmail her? She looked up into the trees, wondering if she'd just committed career suicide.
"Kate? C'mon. Your secrets are safe with me, please; trust me," Mikki said with a soothing voice.
Kate took another deep breath, then looked at Mikki. "No. My college roommate and I were kind of partners our last year of school. I mean...we saw guys...you know, did the whole co-ed thing...but it seemed like we always made time for the two of us; ya know?" Kate explained.
"Did you love her?" Mikki asked caringly.
Kate slowly shook her head, looking into the water. "No...I don't think either of us were in love...I mean, we dated guys. We just...I don't know...we just did our thing when we had time," Kate clarified, looking back at Mikki.
"Have you been with a woman since leaving college?" Mikki asked, then added, "If you don't mind me asking?"
Kate looked straight ahead; blinking and squinting in the sunlight. "No, you're fine." Then took a deep breath. "Yes, I was dating Mark...maybe for just about a year when I attended a week-long sales conference," Kate remembered. "I met a married woman there; a few years older than me the first night at the hotel bar. We hit it off and I went back to her room. I thought it would be a one-night stand. I ended up in her room every night. I don't know; strange," looking across the pool and taking scoops of water; gently splashing her neck and chest.
"Did you ever see her again?" Mikki asked.
