Saturdays (Challenge)

by D. Blake

  “Touch me, please,” she whispered into Myla’s ear. Myla moved her hand down to Summer’s extended clit, feeling the slick wetness that was covering her sex and thighs. She didn’t waste any time bringing Summer to orgasm above her, with Summer finally falling limp on top of her.

  Myla rubbed her back and arms, feeling her smooth skin while she kissed her shoulder blade and face. “Thank you,” she whispered.

  “No. Thank you,” Summer said with a laugh, not understanding the full meaning of her words. “You are even polite in bed, with please and thank yous.”

  “That’s because you made me beg,” Myla said pinching Summer’s arm. When Summer sucked on her earlobe she was ready to beg for more.

  Tuesday evening, Myla picked Summer up at her house and together they drove over to her mother’s for dinner. “Mom, I’d like for you to meet Summer Steven’s, Summer this is my mom, Maria Allen.”

  It’s nice to meet you,” both said in unison. Then Maria pulled Summer into a hug, thanking her for making her baby happy again.

  Summer looked at the blushing Myla and grinned, knowing she would bring that up later.

  “So where did you grow up dear,” Maria asked leading them into the kitchen where she wiped off the counter after putting a pie in the oven.

  “Here actually. Myla and I played against one another in high school.”

  “Oh, you played basketball,” she questioned, assuming because Summer was so tall that it must be the sport.

  “And Volleyball and Track. We were pretty competitive with one another,” Summer smirked.

  Maria looked at Summer as if she was thinking about something, and then finally it hit her. She looked at Myla and raised her eyebrows in questions causing Myla to blush, turning her head to look away from her mother’s eyes. “No wonder,” Maria uttered under her breath.

  Summer just looked between the two women, knowing she had missed something, but decided it would be better not to ask. “What is that delicious smell? I hope you didn’t go out of your way.”

  “No, no dear. This is a special dinner. It’s not every day that Myla brings someone home.” This time it was both of their turns to blush. Maria laughed and patted Myla on the shoulder. “Can you get us some glasses, while I get the food on the table?”

  “May I help with something?”

  “You just sit down dear and enjoy yourself. I have everything covered here.” Maria shuffled around the kitchen with a mission and had all of the food sitting on the table within a minute.

  During dinner the conversation revolved around their companies’ challenge, and Summer’s design firm. Maria asked Summer question after question trying to get to know Myla’s new friend. Myla blushed a lot, but her mother didn’t hold back. Summer on the other hand found Maria to be funny and charming, and could see exactly where Myla got her sweet personality. Before leaving, Maria made Summer promise to come over again, whether Myla was with her or not, making Summer laugh and Myla swat her mother on the arm.

  By 8:30 p.m., Myla pulled into Summer’s driveway, parking her car in front of the garage. “Come up and have a drink?”

  “Thank you for going with me tonight. I still can’t believe mom asked you so many questions. She’s never done that before.”

  “Hey, it’s okay. I like your mom and she’s just looking out for you.”

  “Is that what you think?” Myla asked, a bit surprised.

  “Yes, that’s exactly what I think. And honestly I’m not surprised. I’m pretty sure that she could tell that I have feelings for you.” Summer turned in her seat to run her hand across Myla’s freckles before pulling her close and planting a gently kiss her on her wet lips. They teased one another for what seemed like minutes before Summer pulled back. “Stay with me?”

  “Yes,” she said opening the door, meeting Summer in front of the car.

  “We’re going riding Friday. Want to join us?” Summer took a sip from her coffee as she watched Taryn fiddle with the pen across the table.

  “I don’t want to be a third wheel.”

  “What if I ask Myla to invite Vanessa along?”

  Taryn pushed her sunset hair behind her ear and looked directly into Summer’s eyes. “Am I that transparent?”

  Summer smiled and nodded her head. “It wasn’t hard to see that you find her attractive.”

  “I guess we do have riding in common.”

  “Hey, don’t start doubting yourself, just because you had one bad relationship.” Summer put up her hand for Taryn not to interrupt her. “Sheila was a mistake and we all make them. You deserve better than that. Vanessa seems nice. You should at least give it a try if you are attracted to her.”

  “Okay, okay. Ask Myla to invite her along.”

  “Absolutely. Either way, we’ll have a good time and we want you to come along.”

  Taryn nodded her head, but kept her lips closed tight wondering if she could stand to be rejected if Vanessa wasn’t the least bit interested. Maybe she should just get to know her first and then see where things went. That would be something new.

  “Lunch at the Deli?”

  “Yes,” Taryn said standing to get some more coffee before the others entered the conference room.

  Just before she was going to object to speed walking again, Kona walked in followed by the others. Summer laughed out loud knowing exactly what she was going to say.

  The morning meeting lasted 45 minutes and at the end, Summer reminded everyone to make their steps. She informed them that they were in second place, and that they had just over two weeks to get into first place. Then she started reminding them about all of the benefits of having a gym in there office building.

  When Friday rolled around, Summer was anxious, not having seen Myla since Wednesday morning when Myla pushed her up against her car to kiss her goodbye. They texted one another during the day, knowing both were busy with other obligations, both kept their distance until Friday.

  The four of them agreed to meet at Summer’s house, since it was closest to the trails. Myla arrived 20 minutes early to receive some much needed kisses before Taryn and Vanessa arrived. Summer was pleased that Myla seemed to have missed her as much as she missed Myla. It was pretty evident when she pinned her to the wall and groped her for minutes before the bell rang.

  Myla pulled her hands from under Summer’s sports bra and allowed her to readjust it and her jersey. She laughed when Summer whined and gripped her hands. “Later,” she said as she strode by Myla, pinching her nipple before opening the door to greet Vanessa.

  “Hi Vanessa, I’m so glad you could make it. Taryn should be here in just a few minutes and then we can all get on the road.”

  “Thank you for inviting me. Hi Myla,” she said stepping inside to give her a quick hug. “I’m pretty new to the area so I’ll be glad to learn a new route. How far will we go tonight?”

  “Is 20 miles too far?”

  “No, and thanks again. I’ve been looking for some new trails. My sister and I moved here 3 months ago and I’ve participated in some of the local bike rides, but...” Vanessa was cut off by Taryn who rang the bell and greeted everyone in the doorway.

  “Hi ladies. Sorry I’m late. My boss said I wasn’t able to leave until I finished some work on one of the accounts.

  Myla chuckled and Summer pulled her into a hug. “That boss of yours sounds like someone I’d like to meet,” Myla teased. “You ready to go?” she asked changing the subject.

  “Yes,” Taryn responded. “Hi Vanessa. It’s good to see you again.”

  Vanessa blushed and gave a slight wave. Myla watched her interaction with Taryn and wondered what happened to the outgoing employee she knew so well. Myla took Vanessa’s hand, pulling her through the doorway and out to the bikes that were now lined up along the walkway against the cars. Summer and Taryn followed behind, with Summer shoving her along to taunt Taryn, who appeared uncharacteristically nervous and unsure.

  “Just relax
you fool. She’s only human.”

  Taryn laughed and seemed to relax, just a bit, as she climbed onto the bike that had been leaning against her car. “Is this another challenge?” Taryn asked looking from Summer to Myla.

  Both shook their head and smiled at one another. “We decided that we function better as a team,” Summer said shyly.

  Myla met her in the drive and gave her a sweet kiss. “You are too cute. First one to the bridge gets to be in-charge tonight,” she said quietly, climbing on her bike and pushing off to gain some speed.

  Taryn and Vanessa both laughed while watching the two women race one another to the small bridge just a half mile away. They followed along in silence, keeping pace with one another and making sure to give the other room on the bike path.

  By 8:00 p.m. all four rode their bikes into Summer’s drive, having completed the 20 mile circuit. Summer told them to bring their bathing suits next time and they could jump in the pool after a long ride. They talked for a while in the drive until Vanessa thanked them again, claiming she needed to get home to meet her sister. Before she left, they confirmed that she would be riding with them when they took the trip to the shore. They would leave early on a Friday morning, and return late Sunday, doing at least three circuits, the first being the Oxford - St. Michael’s bike trail that was almost 30 miles.

  After goodbyes and hugs, Summer and Myla made their way inside, deciding to eat something light. Summer put chicken on the grill while Myla showered. When the food was set under the hood of the grill, she stripped her clothes without thought, jumping into the pool with a splash. By the time Myla returned Summer had everything ready, claiming it would be just a few more minutes. She quickly ran inside, skirting Myla’s hands to get to the shower.

  They ate dinner outside by the pool, drinking water to rehydrate, and when the plates were cleared, neither hesitated to stand and clean up. When the last dish was in the dishwasher, they walked hand in hand to the bedroom, glancing at one another with clear desire.

  Their lovemaking began slow, undressing and teasing one another until Summer couldn’t take it any longer. She pressed Myla to the bed, holding her hands above her head and whispering into her ear. “I want you so much it almost hurts.”

  Myla easily got her hands free, grabbing Summer’s back and spreading her legs. “Take me.”

  Summer needed no further encouragement.

  The following morning, as the sun peaked through the blinds, Summer rolled over to watch Myla sleep. They had made love late into the night and she didn’t want to wake her just yet. After minutes of watching her breathe, nature took over as she reached out to brush Myla’s hair away from her face. When she saw a small smile break across Myla’s face, she ran her hand down Myla’s arm, causing goosebumps to form along the path.

  “Good morning,” Myla said turning over to cuddle into Summer’s chest and waiting arms.

  “I didn’t mean to wake you.”

  “Mmm, you didn’t. I was laying here waiting for you to touch me.”

  Summer laughed and kissed her on her head. “You’re beautiful.”

  Myla blushed and pulled her head away from Summer’s chest to crawl on top of her. “As are you,” she said kissing Summer lightly. “So, what do you think you want to do today?” Myla kissed her again, down her cheek and to her neck, causing Summer to groan in approval.

  “Stay in bed with you all day, give you orgasm after orgasm until you beg me to stop.”

  Myla smiled broadly knowing exactly what her words meant. She slid down Summer’s body a few inches to take her pert nipple into her mouth. After teasing it she lightly bit her nipple causing her to gasp. “I like that idea very much. But I don’t think I will ever beg you to stop.”

  “Good, because I don’t ever want to stop.”

  Epilogue

  During the last week of the challenge, Dara decided to make things interesting for the competing teams by not allowing them to see the step results of the other teams. Summer was frustrated, yet told her team to do their best, but to not overdo it.

  Monday morning Summer stopped for bagels and fruits on her way in to work. She was already running a little late from her morning run with Myla, and then the shower they shouldn’t have taken together, that followed. She couldn’t help but have a smile plastered on her face when everyone joined her in the conference room for their weekly meeting.

  She greeted everyone and waited while they filled their mugs with coffee and took some food from the counter. When each one was seated and happy, she began, “I want to thank you all for participating in the latest adventure. In the past two weeks everybody did a great job increasing their steps far beyond the minimum. Thank you is all I can say. I appreciate everything that each of you does and hope that you are all happy with our team.”

  Eddie stood and gave her a hug. Eddie’s hug was followed by six others. “I think it’s a rare thing for people to enjoy their job as much as I do, and I hope you all feel the same way.” She paused for a moment to regain her thoughts. She had gotten far more sentimental then she planned knowing it probably had something to do with her conversations with Myla about her job.

  “Enough sappiness for the day,” she said waving her hand. “We need to be at the gym by 3:00 p.m. Whatever happens, happens. We all gained something from this experience and I’m very proud.”

  Everyone nodded their heads and she received a thank you from Lena, with the others agreeing. After a light discussion, Summer began their weekly meeting.

  Three o’clock rolled around and though Summer was nervous about the results, she was also excited to see Myla. Dara had everyone go through the usual routine of vitals and the treadmill. When everyone was finished she announced that the Spellman Company had taken the most steps of the challenge and would be receiving a free gym. She would discuss the details with them the following day. Summer’s team had come in second place and although everyone was a little bit upset, they still received a discount on the gym and company health benefits. Myla’s team came in fourth place with she and Vanessa pulling close to double the number of steps needed to try and increase her team’s results.

  After the meeting, they all decided dinner and a drink would be a nice follow-up. Summer’s Mexican restaurant won out because they were all feeling like a margarita. As the clock approached 10:00 p.m., she and Myla begged out, claiming they would be running in the morning. Everyone knew otherwise by the way they held hands under the table and stole glances at one another throughout dinner.

  As soon as the door was locked they were on each other like monkeys, with Summer pinning Myla to the wall while she lifted her skirt and pressed her fingers against Myla’s throbbing clit. Myla feverishly opened Summer’s zipper, sliding her hand inside the silky boy shorts to take what she wanted. With thighs pressed into one another, both were breathing out each another’s names before sliding to the floor.

  “Holy shit. You are trouble.”

  Myla laughed and then licked her fingers while Summer watched. “Bed,” she said, standing and lifting Myla to her feet, only to pick her up and carry her the rest of the way with her legs wrapped around her waist. “I think tonight is a toy night.”

  “Yes, please,” Myla said while nibbling her earlobe.

  The following morning, Myla pulled a pair of running shorts and a tank top from the drawer that Summer had given her, and then tied her laces while sitting on the bed. Summer had actually given her three of her six drawers and very slowly Myla was filling them with dress clothes and workout clothes.

  After their morning run, Summer promised to pick Myla up before they went to dinner at her mother’s. It only made sense that they carpool since Myla had been staying at her house so frequently. By 8:00 a.m. she strolled into her office and then called Siena, her new administrative assistant, to gather the troops. She wanted to have an unplanned meeting with her crew and had only discussed the details with Eddie as of yet. By 9:00 a.m. everyone was present, looking around the room to deter
mine if anyone had a clue as to what the meeting was about.

  “I called this little impromptu meeting today in order to give you some good news.” Summer let that settle and very quickly they became more at ease. “We didn’t win the step challenge, but I am going to…”

  Quietly Eddie said, “Wait for it.” Lena heard him loud and clear and couldn’t help but snicker.

  “Have a gym installed on the bottom floor. I looked into the cost of a complete set of workout equipment, including two treadmills, two bicycles, an elliptical and various weight machines. Dara has agreed to help us set it up, just as she would have for the winning company, with the understanding that we will provide them with a new logo and design services for up to six months. She’s also going to get us a discount on everything we purchase.”

  “How in the hell did you pull that off?” Victor asked with his eyes wide.

  “I had some help, but don’t worry about it. We have plenty of company money to support this endeavor.”

  “Summer, are you paying for this out of your own pocket?” Lena asked.

  Summer hesitated, but then told them it was money she had put aside long ago to collect interest for just such an adventure.

  Lena was the first to speak up. “Well I would like to give back my bonus to help with the costs.”

  Taryn stood up and walked across the room to Summer. “I will too. I can contribute half of my bonus check. I would give it all but I used the other half to buy new equipment.”

  “You don’t have to give me anything. We have plenty of money set aside,” she said looking to Eddie to agree with her.

  Eddie nodded his head and smiled. “You can have my check too.”

  “You guys, this wasn’t meant to put a burden on anyone. You need those checks and I’m happy to give them to you.”

  “No, I don’t need it. We have plenty of money and this means a lot.” Lena stood as well to give Summer a hug. “I can’t thank you enough for allowing me to tag along on this little adventure of yours.” She looked from Eddie to Summer and grinned from ear to ear.
