Christy glanced around quickly and turned back to Kelsey with a contrite look on her face. She abruptly realized that she was letting something that happened over a year ago affect her job now. And she couldn’t afford to lose her job. She took a deep breath and did something she hated. “I’m sorry. Kelsey, is it?” Kelsey nodded and smiled. “It won’t happen again. Now what would you two like to order?”
“But she didn’t even get to look at the menu!” Jamie was a little concerned when Kelsey confronted Christy but she was also a little flattered that their relationship meant so much to her.
“It’s okay, James. I looked at the menu online so I already know what I want.” She turned back to the waitress. “I’ll have the stuffed jalapeno and pepper jack burger with a side of crack fries.”
Jamie grinned at her. “Ooh, spicy!” Then she shook her head. “That one is definitely not for me! I’ll have the Harvey Blue and crack fries please, Christy.”
Christy’s smile was a lot more honest than before Kelsey’s little talk. “I’ll get that right in for you ladies.”
They didn’t have any problems after that from the jealous waitress. They ate their stuffed burgers and laughed at the oddest things, as they had always done before becoming lovers. It was hours before they got their fill of food, beer, and games. Jamie looked on as Kelsey lost her final life on a classic standup console. Her beer already finished, she watched as Kelsey drained her own. “So what would you like to do now?”
Kelsey walked both of their glasses over to the nearby bar then came back. “I don’t know. Is there anything you’d like to do? I only really know about the club and the pool hall.”
“Have you been on the Riverwalk?”
Kelsey thought hard. “I think once when I came to visit Tam and Shell last spring. It’s a cool walkway but a little drab in the springtime.” She glanced at her cellphone and noted that it was after 10 p.m. “Is it even open right now?”
Jamie shrugged. “It’s lit, that makes it open enough for me. Come on, let’s go check it out!”
The Riverwalk wasn’t far away but they passed a few other businesses and stores before they got there. One such store Jamie had been in numerous times and she pulled Kelsey to a stop. She pointed at the modest display of outfits in the window and wiggled her eyebrows up and down. “Want to go in there?”
All thoughts of scandalizing her girlfriend went out the window when Kelsey’s eyes lit up. “Absolutely!” Jamie’s jaw dropped open and Kelsey gently reached up to shut her gaping mouth, then deposited the quickest of kisses on her lips. “Come along, James, maybe I’ll buy you something nice!” In total they spent nearly half an hour in the store, giggling over some of the more unrealistic items. Jamie ended up buying a pair of black leather wrist cuffs that looked like a cross between biker and kink. She was over by the storeroom door while one of the employees went to get a package from the back, so she couldn’t see what Kelsey had purchased. Whatever it was must have been small since Kelsey wasn’t carrying any bags after. Jamie just shoved her own purchase into her messenger bag because they didn’t really go with her outfit that night.
The Riverwalk had an entrance that was just around the corner from Clara’s Closet, the costume and sex toy shop. Kelsey gasped at her first sight of the water at night. The river itself was a dark and serpentine shape that cut through the city center. The entire area was well lit as they went down the stairs to the path below. They had to climb a small gate to get to the lower path but that was the only obstacle. Kelsey stared in amazement as they walked along the wood planking. “I’ve never been down here at night before. It’s gorgeous!”
“They have every bridge lit up in the evening. During big national and international events they even change the colors. When the Supreme Court ruled on gay marriage there was a big celebration at the Blue Bridge and all the lights along the river had been changed to rainbow colors. Of course, they also changed them for the sadder events like the shootings in Paris and Orlando.” She sighed. “I really do love this city and the community of acceptance we have here. St. Seren has a lot of heart and I’ll never regret moving here.”
Kelsey smiled at her. “Me, either.”
They walked for a while until they eventually came to the end. The lights along the path had stopped about twenty feet previous so they found themselves in a shaded little nook next to a large tree. Jamie subtly maneuvered Kelsey so her back was against the tree and leaned in to whisper in her ear. “This is the best date I’ve ever been on.”
She pulled back to see Kelsey’s reaction but Kelsey was already in motion. She didn’t need words to tell the blonde how she felt. Instead she pulled her into a deep kiss. They lost track of time as they made out against the rough bark of the tree. Kelsey nearly collapsed when Jamie insinuated a knee between her legs. The delicious pressure had her whimpering into Jamie’s mouth. Finally she couldn’t take it anymore and pulled away from the tantalizing lips in front of her. Mouth unclaimed, Jamie moved her lips down along Kelsey’s jaw and onto her neck. Despite breaking off the kiss, Kelsey was still going a little bit insane because Jamie kept rhythmically pressing a muscled thigh between her legs. Her voice came out as a hiss. “Jaaaammmeesss!”
Jamie pulled her lips away from nibbling on Kelsey’s earlobe. “Yes?”
Kelsey tried to speak like normal but the pressure continued to build. “Nghuh, y—you have t—to stop! God, baby, I’m so close!”
A wicked grin came over the blonde’s face as she took in her girlfriend’s parted lips and panting breath. “Oh, really? I thought you were a hard sell, Kels?”
Kelsey opened her eyes and made a face. “A—apparently I do—don’t have that problem with you.” Her hands had moved from Jamie’s waist down to her hips. “Baby, we can’t do this here.”
“What’s the matter? There’s no one around. Haven’t you ever wanted to be naughty?” Jamie watched Kelsey’s eyes darken as she licked her lips, and she had her answer. While Kelsey continued to grind down against her leg, she managed to move her hand around to open the top button of Kelsey’s jeans. Once the button was open it was nothing for Jamie to push her hand into the front of her girlfriend’s pants. She moaned as she slid beneath Kelsey’s underwear and her fingers were enveloped in wet heat. There was no way she could go inside at that angle and with such tight pants, but she could feel Kelsey’s hard clit as she stroked along the sides of it with her fingers. They both moaned at the contact and Jamie could feel herself getting wet as well.
“James.”
Jamie brought her lips close to Kelsey’s again. “Shh, just let go and let me catch you, I’m right here, honey. Oh God, you’re so close, aren’t you?”
Kelsey whimpered. “Mmm hmm.” She was barely noticing anything at that point but a few figures coming down the path about thirty feet away caught her eye. Jamie looked in the direction of her girlfriends gaze and rather than stop she sped up her ministrations. Kelsey’s wide-eyed gaze turned back to her just as she stiffened with her impending orgasm. Jamie was an experienced lover and if there was one thing she knew for sure, that was when a woman was coming. Kelsey’s mons and clit hardened further under Jamie’s fingertips and that was how she knew to steal her girlfriend’s scream with a kiss. The auburn haired woman bucked beneath her fingers but she remained silent with Jamie’s help. The group of teenagers never even noticed them in the darkness by the tree and they passed the amorous couple to climb the blocks at the end of the path. Jamie slowed her fingers and eventually stopped all movement. Her forearm was killing her from the awkward position but it was well worth it to see the satisfied smile on Kelsey’s face as she pulled away from her lips. “You are so bad, Schultz! What if those kids had seen us?”
Jamie shook her head and laughed, then stepped away so Kelsey could do up her button. Wobbly legs held them up as the two women attempted to straighten their cloths. “That is not what you said earlier this week. I’m pretty sure you called me very, very good!”
Th
e other woman snickered. “So I did.” Then she pointed at Jamie. “But don’t think for a second you’re not going to pay for that!”
“Oh, I’m already paying for it.” Jamie grimaced. “It is going to be the most uncomfortable walk back to the car for me!”
Kelsey smirked. “I could just finish you off here, if you’d like?”
Jamie shook her head. “I think we’ve pushed our luck enough tonight.”
Rather than try to convince her girlfriend, Kelsey merely nodded and focused on something at Jamie’s shoulder. “Yes, we probably shouldn’t stay down here.” Then in a move that was faster than Jamie could really prepare for, Kelsey’s hand came up and flicked something from the blonde’s shoulder. Jamie thought it seemed large by the sound it made as Kelsey’s finger connected with it.
Alarmed, Jamie glanced at her shoulder then back at Kelsey. “What was that?”
Kelsey looked up then grabbed her girlfriend’s hand and moved them away from the tree. When they were safely back on the walkway, she spoke up. “You never mentioned there were big spiders along the river.”
“What!” Jamie’s screech and panicked dance had Kelsey in tears with laughter. Jamie was flailing around, frantically brushing at her clothes while reciting her usual mantra of fear and revulsion. “Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God!”
Kelsey did her best to still the laughter and quickly grabbed Jamie’s hands. “Hey, hey! There’s nothing on you now. You’re safe!” She smirked. “I promise not to let the big bad spiders get you.” She leered at her girlfriend and tightened her grip. “But I will make no such promise for myself! Can we go now? I believe I owe you some attention. Perhaps we can go park somewhere and break in Olivia?”
Jamie glanced from their joined hands to Kelsey’s face and looked startled. “Oh. Um, Olivia’s never, uh, been broken in like that before.” She raised a pale eyebrow. “It’s a little small inside, don’t you think?”
Kelsey just grinned and pulled her back up onto the boardwalk. “Come along ‘˜hot stuff,’ I think we can make it work.”
Fifteen minutes later they were back in Jamie’s car and she turned to the woman in her passenger seat. “So do you want me to take you back to your apartment, or would you like to go to my place?”
“Nuh uh, not so fast! We’re going to christen Olivia, remember?”
Jamie’s lips parted but nothing came out at first. She had met a lot of women who, in varying degrees, all loved sex. But she had yet to meet anyone who seemed to fill all her needs as Kelsey did. She was her best friend, and she was fun and funny and spontaneous. She also loved sex and adventure. It was almost too good to be true to find so many perfect qualities in someone she loved and who loved her in return. “You were serious about that?”
Kelsey’s dimple went away as her lips pulled into a frown. “We don’t have to, James. I know not everyone is comfortable doing something so open and possibly awkward. I just thought it would be fun.”
“No!” Kelsey startled and Jamie rushed to explain. “No, it sounds hot! I’m definitely game to break in Olivia. It’s long overdue.” She drove them to a secluded park that was close to Kelsey’s apartment complex and parked near the trees. There was one streetlight shining down on a basketball court at the opposite end of the park, but that was the only illumination. It was perfect. She turned to her girlfriend, wondering about the logistics of her plan. “So, ah, how are we going to do this? We could maybe go outside to a picnic table.”
Kelsey reached down and grabbed the lever to slide her seat back as far as it would go, then she leaned it back slightly and patted her lap. She gave Jamie a wicked look. “Or you could come over here and sit on my lap.” On closer inspection, there was room on either side of Kelsey’s legs for her own knees so she could hypothetically straddle her girlfriend’s lap. However, they would be short of head room. Kelsey crooked her finger at her and motioned her closer. “James, you at least owe me a try.”
Jamie smirked. “So I do.” Through a lot of awkward maneuvering, she climbed across the center console and settled in above Kelsey. She only hit her head three times on the sunroof window.
“How’s your head?”
“It’s perfect.” With Kelsey’s seat leaned back, she had no problems with headroom once she leaned down and started kissing her. After making out for a good ten minutes, Jamie pulled back and groaned. “You have no idea how turned on I am right now but I don’t see how this is going to work.”
Kelsey unbuttoned the blonde’s pants and pulled down her zipper. “Trust me.”
“Kels, it’s no good. My pants are too tight like this!” She pouted and stared down at Kelsey, extremely frustrated.
Her girlfriend smirked back at her and wiggled around so she could get a small item out of her own pants pocket, then reached into the other side and withdrew another item. “While you were in the back waiting on your cuffs, I had the front sales lady clean this off for me and put batteries in.”
Jamie looked down curiously and saw a silver oval in Kelsey’s left hand and a small box with a switch in the other hand. “Is that?”
“A remote control bullet? Why, yes it is! Care to try it out?” Jamie nodded excitedly and Kelsey handed her the bullet. “Put this down where you want it most.” The blonde sat up a little to do as instructed. Once it was in place she smiled and gazed down at Kelsey expectantly. The woman on the bottom abruptly flicked the switch and Jamie threw her head back and connected solidly with the roof window again.
“Ow, shit, oh my God!” Jamie moaned and Kelsey quickly turned the vibrator off, then Jamie whined. “That was mean!”
Kelsey chuckled as her girlfriend ran a gamut of different reactions. “Sorry, James, I should probably turn it down, huh?”
Jamie leaned down and whispered in her girlfriend’s ear. “To start at least.”
Her ears were very sensitive and Kelsey shuddered to have Jamie’s lips so near. When they started kissing again Jamie moved her hands up and found Kelsey’s nipple rings through the fabric of her shirt and bra. As Kelsey got turned on more and more she started increasing the slide that controlled the bullet and Jamie ground down into her. Jamie pulled away for a second to moan loudly in the small car and Kelsey took that opportunity to increase the speed a little more. “You like that?” Jamie didn’t say anything. She couldn’t. She was wound too tight as her hips moved against Kelsey’s abdomen and her hands pinched the nipples below her. Then all vibration stopped and she shuddered and looked down to see Kelsey grinning evilly.
Jamie whimpered a sad and pathetic sound. “No—” But before she could protest again, the sensation came back stronger than before. “Oh shit!” Kelsey’s lips curled into a satisfied smile as she watched Jamie come apart above her. Just as the blonde went into the throws of orgasm, someone knocked on their window. Kelsey glanced to the right and saw a very stern-faced police officer looking in on them. She was dressed for patrol with the hat and the prerequisite flashlight in hand. With no small amount of panic at being caught, Kelsey’s finger slipped the rest of the way up on the remote and sent Jamie into another round of intense orgasmic contractions. Jamie too had seen the cop and was dismayed to find that rather than winding down enough to function and talk their way out of the situation, she was instead losing her mind to pleasure that was very inappropriate to the situation. “Oh my God, fucking hell Kels!” As the orgasm waned, she weakly pawed at the crotch of her pants and Kelsey quickly shut off the device.
“I’m so sorry, are you okay, James?” She looked dismayed at her spent girlfriend and the tapping sounded again at the window. Kelsey twisted her head around and gave the cop an evil glare. “All right already, can you give us just a minute to be presentable?”
It was in that moment that Officer Jan Stevens realized that the perverts she thought she had caught in the park afterhours were none other than two women discussing their mutual love of Georgia O’Keeffe paintings. Her sour face disappeared and she grinned down through the window of the litt
le blue car. “No problem, ladies. Take your time. But you should probably move along soon.” Then she tipped her hat at them and said a few words as she walked away. “Have a great night!”
Jamie had collapsed onto Kelsey’s chest so she was jostled as the woman below her started laughing hysterically. “Holy hell! That is absolutely a first for me!”
The blonde slowly lifted her head and looked down into the dimpled face of the woman who had stolen her heart. She only had three little words for her. “Best. Date. Ever.”
Chapter Twenty
THE WOMEN ENDED up spending Friday night at Kelsey’s apartment and Saturday night at Jamie’s condo. On Jamie’s urging, Kelsey even brought her laundry over to wash in Jamie’s machine. It was a lot nicer than using the sketchy things at the complex. The view was much better too as they lounged around in boxers and tank tops half the day, watching bad movies and making out. But it was a sad parting on Sunday night when they separated again to complete their weekend routines. Even though they hadn’t been officially dating very long Kelsey hated going home on Sunday nights. They had been spending a lot of time together for months, at least since they started meeting for coffee and cocoa every Wednesday. So while the relationship was new, it felt a lot older to both of them. Monday morning Jamie was excited to get in her car and head to work. Not because she had any burning desire to put in time on her current engineering projects but because she wanted to hear Kelsey’s voice. It was always a rush to see who could beat the other to a morning greeting. That Monday morning Jamie won. “Good morning rainbow car, how did you sleep last night?”
Kelsey’s laugher came over the speakers first. “Since you’re asking about my car, she slept fine once I removed the key. Now if we’re talking about me, I was lonely!”
