THE ISLAND
Part 22: Pet Tiger
By Gortmundy.
Marta snuggled up against the larger woman. She felt warm, she felt safe, she felt content, it was wonderful.
Florence hadn't bothered cleaning up the spilt coffee or the dropped toast, instead, she had held the woman tight, breathing in her scent. "It's still early Marta, you should try and get some sleep, I can tidy this mess up."
Marta wrapped her arms around the woman, tilted her head to look up into those captivating green eyes and whispered, "Never mind that, Florence. Come to bed."
Florence stared at the doctor for just a moment before shaking her head and smiling. Marta giggled like a schoolgirl as the larger woman casually hoisted her off her feet and holding her in her arms, carried her towards the bedroom.
Marta slipped off her nightgown and slid naked under the blankets as Florence undressed. As always, the doctor marvelled at the way the woman moved, always graceful, always balanced, she could make taking off her socks look dance-like, it was simply mesmerising.
Florence was a tall woman, lean and muscular, with the build and figure of a professional gymnast. She could have been a ballet dancer, but Marta knew her talents lay elsewhere and she herself had seen the green-eyed woman kill more than once in a shocking display of violence. She did so the same way she undressed, and with about the same level of concern, gracefully, efficiently, with almost no wasted movement or energy, without the slightest hesitation or anything resembling guilt. In short, she was fucking terrifying.
"And incredibly sexy",
she thought with a mischievous giggle.
Florence casually dropped her underwear on the floor and grinned at Marta, "You're thinking dirty thoughts again doc, I can tell."
"Maybe just a bit."
"Uhuh."
Florence slid between the sheets and took the doctor in her arms. For the longest while they just held each other. She could feel the smaller woman trembling and she cradled her in her arms, holding her tightly until she began to relax.
"You okay now doc?"
"I'm sorry, I was terrified you'd get hurt. I told you, I'm a bit of a drip."
The ginger-haired woman held her close, kissed her and chuckled, "You are a bit of a fanny to be honest, but I love you anyway."
She said it casually, almost a throwaway line that she hadn't realised she'd said, but the word hit Marta like a speeding locomotive, tears rolled down her face and she couldn't help but snivel as her heart almost filled to bursting.
Florence felt the woman quivering in her arms and looked down into the tear-filled eyes, "You okay doc?"
"Better than you could ever imagine."
Florence shook her head and sighed in resignation before giving the doctor a gentle, affectionate squeeze and pulling her close, "Oh come here you wee muppet."
...
Marta woke up alone in bed and giggled. It was unbelievable, she had wrapped herself around Florence like a happy little limpet and in the morning the woman still managed to slither out of her grip and get out of bed without waking her, it was like some weird superpower. If she hadn't seen her going about in daylight, she would have thought she had the vampiric ability to turn to mist or something,
"Probably a ninja. A weird sexy Scottish ninja."
Moments later Florence came bustling back into the bedroom carrying a breakfast tray, she had put on her pyjama top but was otherwise wonderfully naked, her green eyes sparkled, her copper-coloured hair fell about her shoulders like a fiery mane, and the top covered just enough to be incredibly erotic,
"Fuck she's gorgeous."
"Here ya go doc, eggs benedict, toast, marmalade, coffee, some fruit juice and a few rashers of bacon. That should sort you out.
"Jesus Florence, are you trying to fatten me up?"
Florence waggled her eyebrows in a comic leer, "Don't worry doc, I can think of a few ways to work it off."
"You're terrible!"
"I dunno, from all the moaning and screaming you do I thought I was pretty good."
Marta blushed and buried her head in the pillow in embarrassment.
As they ate Florence casually glanced at the doctor, "So what do you wanna do today, Marta?"
"Well, we have the barbeque tonight up at the villa, but I thought that maybe we could just stay in bed and fool around before then."
Florence made a face, "Yuck."
"You don't want to fool around?"
"Huh? No, I mean the barbeque. I bet there will be people there and all that sort of shenanigans."
Marta laughed, "People? At a barbecue? Ridiculous!"
"Are you taking the piss?"
"Yup."
Florence gave the woman a wry smile and nibbled a bit of bacon, "Fair enough I suppose, I might just deserve that."
"Oh, come on Florence, it won't be that bad. You might even enjoy yourself. And if you get bored you can always tease Gunter."
"Mmmph."
"By the way those Eggs Benedict were great, I didn't know you could cook."
"Chef taught me a few tricks."
Marta laughed, "Oh and what did you teach him? Let me guess, 'a few tricks.'"
Florence grinned and gave the woman a slight, enigmatic, shrug, "Maybe."
"Well, they were bloody good either way, thanks," seeing the look on the woman's face Marta continued, "look, I tell you what, if you come and do your best for just a little while we can leave early, or maybe go for a walk on the beach, just the two of us, I don't mind."
"I guess a walk along a quiet bit of beach, under the moonlight, with a pretty girl on my arm might not be too terrible, I suppose."
"Oh, thanks very much."
The larger woman put aside the breakfast tray and slithered into the bed, "Now I believe you mentioned something about fooling around?"
Marta seemed to gather herself and in an almost comically determined voice she announced, "Actually, I'd quite like to give you a sound spanking."
Florence laughed and then hesitated as she saw the look on the doctor's face, "Wait, you're serious?"
"I am."
"But why? Is this because I didn't tell you I was, okay? I said I was sorry."
Marta blushed, "Yes, no... er not exactly."
"Huh?"
The smaller woman continued to blush and looked down at her fidgeting hands nervously, "You're going to think I'm silly."
