Hidden Desires

by T J Vertigo

  Brooke looked skeptical. "You're not going to turn blue and faint if I get closer?"

  Cayden played hurt. "Me? Blue? I'll show you blue." The tall woman not only got closer, but wrapped her leg around Brooke's and held it tight. "Now, a piece of paper can't get between us. Do I look pasty?"

  Brooke's mouth hung open. "Alright, just a second. Who are you and what have you done to my Cayden? You know her, the perpetually cranky curmudgeon, who can't stand more than one second of body contact at a time."

  Cayden poo-poo'ed the blonde with an eye roll. "Oh her. I left her home with Wade and La La. This one intends to show you a hell of a dinner, if it kills her."

  Brooke smiled warmly. "You have to be the sweetest person... I know this is hard for you and you're doing so good."

  Cayden smiled at the compliment, feeling pretty good with herself. Her smiled must have been contagious, because soon enough, the two women were sitting there smiling at each other. Cayden took the opportunity to really look into Brooke's eyes. They were a bluish-green, very bright, and somewhat sneaky. This made her chuckle to herself, if nothing else, life was going to be eventful with Brooke.

  Brooke also took advantage of their closeness and studied Cayden's eyes too. Bright sky blue, shy and intelligent. She got a tingle of excitement being able to openly stare into the brunette's eyes. She noticed Cayden's focus shift suddenly to her mouth and she licked her lips unconsciously.

  The tall shop keeper was very aware of being watched so intently, she regretted leaving her sunglasses at home. It was an awkward feeling to be so brazenly studied. She was a little uncomfortable, and wanted to turn her head away and blush, but at the same time, wanted to continue looking at Brooke. She shifted almost imperceptibly and stood her ground, bringing her gaze from Brooke's beautiful eyes to her lips. Cayden's eyes began to narrow of their own accord when the blonde's tongue poked out, so she forced herself to blink a few times to cover it. Brooke's lips were wet, and looked so inviting, Cayden's heart began to beat faster. She tried to avert her gaze to avoid embarrassing herself in the back of a cab, but failed, and before she knew what was happening, she was kissing Brooke.

  Brooke saw Cayden concentrating on her lips and she did the same. The tall woman's mouth was slightly open, showing just a glimpse of her perfect, white, teeth from between her full, enticing lips. She fought the urge to grab Cayden and kiss her, figuring the tall woman would be mortified, but to her surprise, suddenly, Cayden was kissing her. She melted at the contact, the sweet feeling of Cayden's soft lips made her body tremble. She dropped the rose on the seat and held the back of the brunette's head, begging her silently not to stop.

  Cayden had no idea what had come over her, but once she tasted Brooke's delicious lips, and felt her fingers slide up the back of her head, she couldn't care less. Her mouth opened, deepening the kiss, eliciting a small groan from Brooke. The tiny sound reverberated through her insides and made her legs feel weak. Their tongues danced sensuously together, their entwined legs got tighter, and Cayden moaned softly.

  "You know, I could stop at the Holiday Inn."

  Brooke started snickering at the cab driver's suggestion and Cayden followed suit. The kiss broke abruptly as the two semi-embarrassed women laughed.

  "Excuse us." Brooke managed to apologize through chuckles.

  "Oh, I don't mind. I was just noting the timely approach of the hotel."

  "Thank you, but that won't be necessary." Cayden said as politely as she could muster.

  "Maybe later." Brooke added, squeezing Cayden's leg.

  The shop keeper closed her eyes as a surge of adrenaline coursed through her at the very proposal.

  Brooke leaned over and touched Cayden's face. "Did that scare you?"

  "No!" The brunette answered quickly. "It didn't, believe me." She turned to Brooke who was giving her quite the saucy look and narrowed her eyes. "You just better behave." she warned playfully.

  "Or else?"

  "Or... or... I'll think of something and it will be bad." Cayden said, poking Brooke in the ear.

  "Hey!" The blonde giggled. "I need to get you alone more often! I like you!"

  "I should hope you like me." Cayden said, with a mock look of shock.

  Brooke looked up at the tall woman through her lashes. "Oh, Miss Riley, you better believe that I more than like you, and I intend to show you just how much."

  Cayden stopped breathing for a moment and her stomach flipped. "Are you saying that you want too...you're ready for..." she stuttered.

  Brooke moved her hand to Cayden's upper thigh and squeezed. "Uh huh."

  Cayden's sex twitched and her mouth watered. She's ready! She wants to make love! OH MY GOD! Where? When? How? Oh shit, she's not wearing a bra.... tonight???

  "Are you going to be alright there stud?" Brooke asked, fanning the tall woman.

  Cayden nodded. "I think so."

  "Good, because we're here."

  * * *

  Cayden held the door open for Brooke, and watched the blonde's backside sway in front of her with delight. She was sure that was the only reason behind this particular chivalrous act, to watch the woman's butt. They didn't have to wait at all and were shown their seats right away. The tall woman made a beeline for Brooke's chair and held it for her as she sat down. Not sure if she could push the blonde in gracefully along the carpeted floor, she stood there for an awkward moment.

  "You are pulling out all the stops tonight aren't you?" Brooke turned her head and said with a happy smile.

  Cayden grinned and nodded. "I told you, I intend to impress."

  "Well, you already have," She giggled. "Go sit down so I can look at you." Brooke said with a hand gesture to Cayden's chair.

  The shop keeper did as she was told, and was happy just to stare at the blonde. However, she was getting uncomfortable being studied herself, and started to grin sheepishly. The waitress suddenly appeared, handing them both menu's and water, giving her a reason to break eye contact.

  "Anything to drink?" The young waitress asked.

  Brooke ordered a Coke and Cayden frowned. She wouldn't be able to pour wine in an impressive fashion like she planned. I'm sure there will be other opportunities, she thought.

  "Are you going to have anything?" Brooke asked, wondering what was going through Cayden's mind.

  "Oh, yeah." The brunette scanned the menu quickly. "Would you mind if I had a beer?" she asked the blonde.

  "Go right ahead." Brooke said with a sexy smile and a wink. "Maybe I'll get you drunk and have my way with you later."

  Cayden ordered, red faced, and sat back in thought. She wondered how Brooke could be so open and daring, and secretly wished she was able to do the same thing. The blonde had no problem announcing what she wanted, or reaching out and grabbing it. Cayden, on the other hand, had to go through a million changes just to say hello. She wasn’t necessarily shy, but maybe hesitant was more the right word. She just didn't want to seem pushy, or spoiled, and feared that's exactly what she would be perceived as, not only because of her looks but her size. Being a good looking woman, and knowing that she was, made it difficult for Cayden. She didn't want it to seem like she used her looks to get what she wanted, and she didn't always like to be intimidating. Of course, she liked to be intimidating most of the time, it kept people at a distance, but she was afraid she didn't know how to turn it down when it wasn't appropriate. Like now. Perhaps she was overcompensating, and that was what made her seem so shy. While she was thinking about this, Brooke picked up her menu and Cayden decided not to think at all and just continue to run on instinct.

  "What are you going to have?" Brooke asked, her face popping over the top of the menu.

  "I was thinking I want the Swordfish." Cayden replied, not even opening her menu.

  "I think I want steak. Yes, mmm. That's what I want." Brooke decided. She smelled her rose one more time and stood it up in her water glass.

  Cayden grinned. "Inventive."

  "I try." Brooke grinned b
ack. She reached across the table and took Cayden's hand. "Did I tell you how scrumptious you look?"

  The tall woman blushed. "Yes, something like that." She said quietly. "That dress is perfect on you, and I can't believe I got a purple rose. Of all the colors they had, I was set on that one."

  "We must be on the same wavelength." Brooke said, raising her eyebrows. "Karma."

  Cayden rolled her eyes. "Oh, no, not you too. Jodie is into that, ohm and karma and rot like that."

  Brooke pretended to be offended. "I beg your pardon, it is not rot."

  "Yeah, yeah... okay, be into it, but just don't Zen me to death." The tall woman smiled playfully. "I like being cranky."

  "I'll try not to." Brooke winked. "Besides, I kinda like your cranky side. It's hot."

  "It is not." Cayden blushed and laughed. "It's not supposed to be!"

  "Honey, I've seen you at what I suspect to be your absolute worst and still found you to be incredibly hot."

  "Puking?"

  "Please, you know what I mean." Brooke chuckled. "Did I not kiss the daylights out of you?"

  "Excuse me, but I think I kissed the daylights out of you"

  Brooke narrowed her eyes. "You go on and tell me that you weren't horny after that kiss. Go on, tell me."

  Cayden narrowed her eyes too, but failed to reply. She recalled running off to her room to touch herself after said kiss and certainly wasn't fessing up to that.

  "Ha! See? I rest my case." Brooke said haughtily.

  Cayden snorted. "There's no case, I made you melt, if I wasn't holding you up, you'd have slid into a puddle at my feet."

  "Oh, is that so? Okay, you just wait until later and I'll show you who melts who." Brooke said cockily.

  Cayden raised both eyebrows. "How can you be so confident?"

  "What? You don't think I'll kiss the shit out of you?"

  "No, I mean in general, you have balls Brooke. I wish I had them."

  "Honey, if you had them, you'd be rich." The blonde joked.

  "Hardy har." Cayden snickered, then turned serious. "I like that about you, you're determined and you're not afraid to go for it."

  Brooke blushed slightly. "Thank you."

  The waitress showed up with their drinks, and took their orders. Cayden sipped her beer and smiled. "That's good beer."

  Brooke took Cayden's glass and smelled it. "Smells pretty good. I'm not much of a beer drinker so anything to me is good. I'm glad you like it."

  Cayden felt all warm inside. Brooke was smiling, and happy that Cayden liked her beer. How cool is that? She's really happy about something so silly. That's the difference between Brooke and everyone else...

  "What are you thinking?" Brooke asked, squeezing Cayden's hand.

  "Want me to be honest?"

  "Always please."

  "I was just thinking about how special you are." Cayden said matter of factly.

  Brooke looked like she wanted to cry. "Oh Cayden, you just scored big time."

  Cayden shrugged to herself. What did I say? I only told the truth.

  "Honey, you're special too. You just don't realize it, but I'll show you. You leave it to me." Brooke said, smiling brightly.

  Cayden's cheeks felt hot and she looked everywhere but at Brooke. She had a feeling that denying her specialness would open a whole can of worms so she kept it to herself. Besides, so far, Brooke had made her feel pretty damned good, and she was sure if the blonde tried, she'd make her feel special too. A smile broke out across her lips at the thought, and then she chuckled. "Just how do you intend to make me feel special?" She asked playfully.

  "You'll see." The blonde winked and blew Cayden a kiss.

  Cayden's insides fluttered. Mercy!

  Their food came, interrupting their conversation, which was a relief for Cayden. She'd never tried to eat while horny before and didn't know if it was even possible. She stared straight into her plate and picked up her fork.

  "Ooo, that looks yummy! Did you see this steak?" Brooke asked pointing to her meal. "It looks so juicy."

  Cayden looked up and her eyes went directly to Brooke's cleavage. She blinked and blinked but couldn't draw herself away, it was a very attractive sight.

  Brooke giggled and bent her head down to make eye contact with Cayden. "That's not where I was pointing, but feel free to stare." She sat up and thrust out her chest.

  Cayden's eyes went wide. "I, uh...." She swallowed and closed her misbehaving eyes. "Sorry, I don't know why..."

  "I don't mind at all. It's not like I didn't have an ulterior motive with this dress you know." Brooke said with an evil grin.

  The brunette opened her eyes in time to see Brooke's devious expression. "Oh? So you knew what that dress would do to me all along?"

  "Of course." Brooke looked down at her chest, then squeezed her arms together, popping her breasts halfway out of the top of the dress. "I have an agenda."

  Cayden choked on her own spit.

  "Oh! Are you alright?" Brooke asked with concern as Cayden coughed. The waitress showed up to see if everything was alright.

  After shooing the waitress away, and embarrassed about causing a scene, the tall woman pointed at Brooke's breasts. "They tried to kill me! Those things are always out to get me! From the minute I laid eyes on them they've been tormenting me."

  Brooke couldn't help but chuckle. "They're my best weapon when it comes to you."

  "Trust me, you don't need a weapon, when it comes to me. I have a very healthy imagination and believe me, I use it. Now, wrangle those things in so we can eat." Cayden said with a hint of a smile.

  "I can eat just fine with them." The blonde replied with playful smile.

  "Well I can't." Cayden said, covering her eyes with one hand and stabbing around her plate blindly with her fork.

  Brooke laughed, went quiet for a minute then laughed again. "Okay, you can open your eyes."

  Cayden did, and folded her arms across her chest, a look of amusement n her face. "And you think I can eat with you looking like that?"

  Brooke looked down at the napkin she tucked into her dress and shrugged. "It's better than having you choke on your food all night."

  Cayden snickered. "Alright, if you aren't embarrassed, then I'm not either." She dug into her fish and made a contented sound. "Mmm, this is so good."

  Brooke enjoyed her steak too and then grinned. "You do realize that we were supposed to eat ribs tonight."

  "With a white shirt on? Not on your life. I'm a bit of a klutz." The tall woman said shaking her head.

  "You could have tucked a napkin in your shirt." Brooke giggled, sticking her chest out once again.

  Cayden pointed at her in warning. "Behave."

  Brooke cut a piece of steak and offered it to Cayden. "Here, you just have to taste this."

  Cayden accepted it and hummed in delight. "That is soooo good. I love this place, everything is good."

  "Especially dessert." Brooke added.

  Cayden grinned, and offered Brooke some fish. She didn't even want to admit where her mind went when dessert was mentioned.

  Brooke swallowed her food and touched Cayden's sexy lips with her finger. "I know where your mind just went. Can you manage to hold that thought?"

  "How long?" Cayden blurted out.

  "As long as I want you to."

  "Brooke, I've been holding this thought for a loooong time now, don't torture me."

  The blonde pulled the napkin out of her shirt, took her cold soda and touched it to the back of her neck, shivered then stuck out her chest. "Now that's torture."

  Cayden became instantly riveted to Brooke's hard nipples. "Brooke!" she whispered loudly. "Why'd you go and do that for?"

  "You said having smutty thoughts was torture and I wanted to clarify the meaning of the word. Now, I've made my point huh?"

  "Oh yes." The brunette nodded rapidly, still staring at Brooke's nipples. "Two points to be exact."

  Brooke snickered and resumed eating, leaving Cayden to fend for herself agai
nst the onslaught of nipple.

  The food was done, and actually eating it was quite an experience for Cayden. The poor thing had a very hard time concentrating on her food while Brooke sat there with her breasts. The worst part was Brooke knew exactly what she was doing to her and admitted it proudly. Cayden wondered if she'd ever survive through dessert, knowing first hand that everything in this restaurant comes with whipped cream on top. She sat back and contemplated if she even wanted anything more to eat, dinner was so good and she was pretty full. She looked at the menu again for desserts and while full, she didn't think she could turn down the brownie sundae entirely. "Would you be up to splitting dessert? I'm kinda full, but I think I can squeeze in some brownie."

  "That's a great idea, I'm full myself." Brooke smiled and crinkled her nose.

  Cayden thought that to be the cutest thing and smiled.

  "You really ought to do that more often. It's highly becoming."

  Cayden blushed. "See? You say something nice and I blush like fool. I don't get it."

  "Me neither, I'm afraid to see how you'll react when I tell you how fantastic you are in bed."

  Again, Cayden began choking on her own saliva.

  Brooke shook her head and patted the tall woman on the back. "I keep forgetting how sensitive you are to that sort of stuff."

  "I'm not!" Cayden said between coughs. "I'm not sensitive! I can talk about sex all day long if I wanted to. It's just when you say things... I just lose it."

  They ordered dessert and once the waitress disappeared, Brooke stared at Cayden, deep in thought. Her eyes wandered from the tall woman's eyes to her nose to her mouth. Her gaze lingered on Cayden's breasts, then closed, leaving a blissful expression on her face.

  Cayden crooked an eyebrow. "What was that all about?"

  "You can't believe how much I want to get you naked." Brooke said, eyes narrow.

  Cayden didn't choke, but swallowed really hard. "Oh, yes I can." She said, giving a lingering glance to Brooke's chest.

  Their sundae arrived, and the blonde leaned over the table and licked her lips sensuously. "Is Wade home tonight?"

  Cayden's mouth went dry. "Yes."

  Brooke looked sad. "Oh, that's too bad." she said, leaning her breasts on the table.
