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 Örsten 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.
Kate sighed and paused for a moment. "No, the last night, she wanted my card...my email and stuff. I just couldn't do it. I had been torn about cheating on Mark, even though it was with a woman," she sighed. "Geez; that was so many years ago. Ironically, the very next weekend, Mark proposed to me in front of his family. I...I made myself a promise I'd never play with another woman again," She commented, looking back at Mikki, then raising her eyebrows, slightly smirking and shrugging her shoulders; given what had just happened with Mikki.
Mikki pursed her lips, looking at Kate. "Don't I feel like a fool, now," she softly said with guilt.
Kate snickered lightly. "No biggie," she softly answered, looking at Mikki, then into the trees again and taking another deep breath. "There have been times over the years where I'd catch someone looking at me...I knew what they were thinking; what they wanted. Sometimes...I did want to act upon the desire," she said, then leaned back on her elbows. "About two years ago, I actually made out with the wife of a couple looking for a house. She wanted to meet me at a house they'd seen. You know, she played it off like she wanted to see the house again, but her husband couldn't make it," she paused, looked at Mikki then looked away. "I knew what was probably going to happen. Anyway, we started to pet pretty heavily...and...when she reached under my skirt and started rubbing me, I had to stop," she said, looking back at Mikki. "I don't know why. I wanted it...I think I needed it...huh, whatever. I think...I think I knew it was bound to happen again, eventually."
Kate paused in the silence, still looking at Mikki, "Mikki. You didn't do anything wrong. This happened for a reason. Maybe I was overdue for the touch of another woman; I don't know. I'm not complaining. What just happened felt good...well,
REALLY
good," she added with a slight chuckle, then looked away.
They fell silent for about half a minute.
"So, Mark..." Mikki started to ask.
"No. He has no idea," Kate softly interrupted Mikki's question, then smirked, "I don't know how he'd handle it, but for now, I'd like to keep it our little secret," she said, turning to look at Mikki, then paused, "Jay?"
Mikki scoffed with a short outburst of laughter. "Oh, Lord! We have no secrets. He knows I'm bi. He's okay with it," she paused, looking into Kate's eyes and became serious. "Um, for what it's worth. I haven't been with a woman in a couple of months. I can't explain what you did to me last night. I couldn't help it. I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable."
Kate half-smiled. "You're fine," Kate chuckled softly, extending her legs and looking at her toes under the water. She paused, looking at Mikki. "The way you looked at me last night...I had a feeling something like this might happen. I had no idea it would be today. I don't know; a woman's intuition?" Kate paused again. "Honestly, when Jay introduced me at dinner to everyone and I saw you looking at me...I felt myself starting to get wet. I had to look away from you," Kate confided, averting her eyes.
"I've been told I can have that effect on people...well, girls," Mikki said, not trying to brag.
Kate looked back at Mikki. "Last night, I had trouble sleeping. I knew you were into me and...and honestly; I was thinking about you," she sighed, looking into the water. "When you kissed me this morning...I don't know...I almost turned to kiss you on the lips; but held off. Then, we sat at the table and you were so professional, so focused on the project, I started to doubt myself about you." Then Kate slightly giggled, "but after about the second strong drink, I knew."
"You knew I was trying to loosen you up?" Mikki asked, squinting her eyes at Kate.
Kate smiled and chuckled, "Yeh, but your drinks were pretty good. I figured why not get a buzz?" Kate laughed for a few seconds, then looked back into the water, scooping some more over her shoulders and neck.
"So, did you get any sleep?" Mikki asked.
