Page 16 of Not Your Body

“You’re… beautiful,” Kate whispered with a tremor and sat forward, lightly gripping the young woman’s bare hips, drawing her close. She spread Jade’s folds and licked her hot, wet flesh, her sweet juices tantalizing Kate’s taste buds.

Jade shivered and gently gripped Kate’s head as the sheriff savored her sweetness, sucking and moaning as Jade spasmed and gasped, cumming on Kate’s tongue… again and again.

“Uuhhh… yes…”Jade trembled and rested one foot on the sofa cushion while Kate sank two fingers inside her slippery heat and brought her to orgasm. “Fuuck… yes… oh god…”

Kate stood up and cupped Jade’s face, kissing her hungrily. “My bed.”

The two women walked silently from the living room and down the hallway to Kate’s bedroom. They made love beneath the cool sheets, using the “device” from Kate’s nightstand to pleasure one another until they were too exhausted to go on.

Kate lay naked and sweaty beside Jade, their fingers laced as they stared at the ceiling.

“Thank you for giving me this,” Jade whispered, “before taking me in.” A small smile touched her lips as her green eyes turned dreamy, misty. “I dreamed of this all my life.”

“Dreamed of what?” Kate murmured.

“Of…” Jade swallowed, and tears glistened in her eyes. “… thisfeeling… with another woman. After I was raped at sixteen…” Her chin trembled. “… I couldn’t get close to anyone. I didn’tthink I would ever feel anything like…” She turned her head, and a tear slipped free. “… this.”

Kate turned on her side and caressed Jade’s flushed face, feverish from their intense lovemaking. “I never thought I would ever feel it again,” she whispered, her voice breaking as painful memories from the past crept forth. “I thought we were allowed only one… and when that one was gone… there were no more.”

Jade faced her and pressed close to Kate’s naked body, tenderly caressing her breasts. “How did you lose your one?”

Breathing deeply, Kate closed her eyes a moment, then looked Jade, her vision swimming. “She was taken from me… the way Amy was taken from you. There were more than three… a lot more. She was delicate and fragile and they…” Kate swallowed hard, a distant fury heating her blood. “…brokeher.”

“What… did you do?” Jade’s question tumbled out in a rasp.

Kate gazed distantly over Jade’s shoulder. “We broke them.”

“We?”

Kate blinked. “My… family.”

“Family…?”

Kate kissed her. “I don’t talk about them anymore,” she whispered through a second kiss. “They’re my past.”

“You left them?”

“Yes.”

“Why?”

“Because I believed there was a better way to justice.”

Jade held her eyes. “Do you still believe that?”

Kate sighed and pulled Jade deeper into her arms. “Not so much.” She held Jade against her and kissed her lips. “And now, more than ever, I fear the only justice that will remain… is the justice we make for ourselves.”

Jade kissed her throat and slipped one hand down between them, pleasuring Kate. “Make love to me again before we have to say goodbye.” She nuzzled Kate’s neck. “Please, baby?”

Kate shivered as Jade’s middle finger circled her sensitive button, coaxing warm juices from within. “We’ve both said goodbye enough in our lives.” Kate lifted Jade’s face and kissed her soft mouth. She parted her legs as Jade pushed her fingers into Kate’s tight, warm cavern and slowly stroked. Kate shuddered with utter pleasure. “I’m never letting you go.”
