Cason finished her shift at the hospital and rushed home to shower and clean her condo one last time before Adler arrived later that afternoon. She had no idea why she was so nervous. She wondered if it would always be like that since they often spent weeks apart. The excitement still hadn’t worn off. When she heard the knock on her door she almost tripped and fell rushing to answer it.
“You’re early.” Cason said when she opened the door.
“Would you like me to go and come back later?” Adler asked with a raised eyebrow and a sexy grin.
“Hell no,” Cason grabbed her and pulled her inside. “God I missed you.” She wrapped her arms around Adler and kissed her like her life depended on it. She ran her tongue around the edge of her lips before slipping inside. Adler’s hips moved against her involuntarily.
“I missed you too.” Adler said when they parted enough to breathe. “I was sure I was going to get a ticket on the way here.”
“You could have just said you hadn’t seen your girlfriend in a month and you were hot and bothered thinking about making love with her and that made you drive faster.” Cason smiled.
Adler rolled her eyes. “I’m sure that would’ve gotten me out a ticket.”
“You’d be surprised.”
“Oh my god, you’ve used that line?”
“No.” Cason laughed. “But, if it had been a guy he would let you go to hide the tent forming in his tight uniform pants.”
Adler giggled. “That’s a visual I don’t want.” She raised an eyebrow when she finally looked past Cason’s eyes. “You’re hair’s shorter.”
Cason ran a hand through her short dark hair. “Yeah, the girl that usually cuts my hair was off when I went in so I let the other girl do it and she buzzed my head. It was like a damn flat top. Thank god it’s grown out a little bit.”
“I like it.” Adler said.
“Good.” Cason said as she moved her hands from Adler’s waist to her ass and picked her up. Adler wrapped her legs around Cason and ran her hands through her short hair as she kissed her. Cason deposited her on the bed and crawled on top of her.

“I promised Warren we would go out with him tonight.” Cason said when they finally came up for air. “He’s been dying to meet you and he was driving me crazy at work. Do you mind if we meet him at this club downtown?”
“Haven’t I met him?”Adler asked.
Cason smiled. “Yes, but he doesn’t know that.”
“Trying to keep me all to yourself huh,” She laughed. “I don’t care if we go out.”
“We won’t stay out long enough for him to embarrass me.” She grinned.
“Oh, this should be good then. How long have you known him?”
“About six years. I guess he’s kind of like my best friend, I mean he’s the only person I see outside of work, and I don’t really associate with many people anyway. He and I use to spend a lot of time going to clubs or bars, but this year I sort of became a homebody.”
“Well, I’m looking forward to seeing you in action then.” Adler wiggled her eyebrows. “What kind of club is this?”
“It’s a mix, black and white, gay and straight, you name it everyone kind of fits together.” She shrugged. “Before you ask, no I have not taken anyone home from there. I have gotten my fair share of numbers, but no one night stands. He however has left me stranded on more than one occasion which is why I learned to just meet him there.”
Adler laughed. “So he’s a charmer. He was pretty curious about me when I was here asking about you.”
“He was probably checking you out.”
“Yeah right,”
Cason shook her head. “He checks out anything in a skirt.”
“I wasn’t wearing a skirt.”
She laughed. “You know what I mean. Oh my god, this one night about three years ago this nice looking black woman asked him to dance. She was wearing a short leather skirt, high heels, and a tank top style blouse. The place isn’t exactly lit up like a runway so it took me a little while to realize he was dancing with a cross dresser. He didn’t believe me until he went to the bathroom and she was in there standing at a urinal with her skirt pulled up and her package showing. He ran out of there and we didn’t go back for six months.” Cason couldn’t stop laughing. “Ask him about Darlene the Queen tonight.”
Adler was hysterical. “Oh man, I bet he was scarred for life.”
“No kidding. He isn’t a homophobe at all, I think he was more shocked that the guy in a skirt danced, and moved like a woman and I think they kissed a few times while dancing. He was hot and ready to take her home just before he noticed the twig and berries. It sure as hell gave me a laugh. I still use it as leverage when I need to bend his arm at the hospital for a favor.”
Adler got out of the bed and stretched her naked trim body causing tight muscles to show in various places. Cason grew wet all over again. She had never been that easily turned on by just looking at a woman in her life, not constantly. She wondered how long it would last, this instant readiness every single time Adler was in her presence. Maybe the distance between was causing her to feel like it was the first time every time because they spent so much time apart.
“Where are you going?” Cason asked as she followed her out of the bed.
Adler’s heart skipped a beat when Cason stood in front of her. She still wasn’t use to the excitement her naked body caused. “If we’re going out then I need to shower now. I hate blow drying my hair and I’m sure you don’t have a blow dryer anyway.”
“That is correct. Not much here to blow dry.” Cason rubbed her short messy hair. “Want some company in there?”
“If you get in here we won’t get out.” Adler smiled.

Warren was sitting on a stool at a small, high-top table close to the edge of the dance floor when he saw Cason walking towards him with a pretty blond in tow. He looked her up and down when he stood to shake hands with Cason. She looked familiar.
“I’ve seen you before.” He said to Adler, then, turned to Cason. “You said it wasn’t the girl that came looking for you.”
Cason smiled. “I never said it wasn’t I just never answered you. Anyway, I guess you two have already met. Warren this is Adler, the snowboarder from Aspen that’s had me on a rollercoaster for the last nine months.” Adler smacked her arm lightly and reached out to shake his hand.
“I’ve heard a lot about you.” Adler said.
“I’m sorry to say Cason hasn’t really said two words about you. I can see why she kept you to herself.” He winked.
“Have you two ever competed for the same girl?” Adler asked after they ordered a round of drinks from the waitress.
“No.” Warren said. “Cason and I have looked at the same woman many times, but never competed.”
“I have no problem looking at a pretty girl, but I don’t date straight women, period.” Cason said. In fact, she had gone against her rule with Adler and trusted another basically straight woman with her heart. She fell head over heels in love with her and it was too late by then. She had no defenses against the beautiful blond.
“So, do you guys dance or just sit here and check everyone out?” She raised an eyebrow and grinned. A Michael Jackson song was playing loudly and many people were grinding together on the dance floor in front of them.
“Hey you guys.” A bubbly redhead stepped up to the table and spoke before Cason and Warren had a chance to reply. “I haven’t seen you here in forever. Are you dancing for us tonight? One of my friends just requested your song.”
“I don’t think we will be dancing tonight. Sorry.” Cason said to her.
“Why not? What dance?” Adler said curiously.
“You haven’t seen them dance?” The girl asked. When Adler shook her head she continued. “There was a dance contest here about two years ago and you could enter in pairs or groups of three. The winners won a couple grand I think. Anyway, these two did the ‘Soulja Boy
’ dance from the Crank That song and blew the competition away. Every now and then they do the dance again when they are here.”
“Oh really,” Adler looked a Cason questioningly with a raised eyebrow.
Cason bit her lower lip and shrugged. “We did it for the hospital. We were bored on a particularly slow night and this song was the hottest thing out so we watched it on YouTube and taught ourselves how to do it. We entered the competition kind of as a joke, but when we won we matched the winnings and gave it to the children’s center at the hospital as a donation.”
“Wow, you amaze me every time I’m with you.” Adler said as she squeezed Cason’s hand lying on the table.
“They’re really good.” The woman said.
Warren raised his eyebrows and Cason shrugged. “I guess we’re gonna do this.” He said as they walked to the dance floor and slapped hands when the song started. Adler knew the song from the radio and was completely in awe watching Cason and Warren dance back and forth doing every move almost perfectly and in unison. The floor cleared out quickly and a few people stayed in the back to follow along but they couldn’t keep up. Adler felt goose bumps rise on her arms and a puddle formed between her legs, she had never been so turned on in her life. The whole room was cheering for them. She was amazed to see Cason out there in front of the large crowd doing this crazy dance like it was second nature. When the song ended they came back to the table breathless.
“That was fucking awesome.” Adler said.
Warren made a gesture like he was wiping dust off his shoulder as he grinned. “Not too shabby. It’s been at least a year since we’ve done that here.”
“Yeah,” Cason agreed. “But, every slow night we are working together, which only happens maybe once a month in that busy place, we take over the doctor’s lounge or ER hallway and get down.”
“No wonder the nurses all want you.” Adler laughed.
“No they don’t.” Cason shook her head and downed half of her drink. She was sweating and her adrenaline level was finally coming back down to normal.
“Stop lying to this girl.” Warren said. “Half of the damn hospital has tried to get with her, but she won’t date anyone in the medical field. I guess it’s a good thing you’re an athlete.” He grinned.
“Oh really?” Adler looked at Cason.
“It’s not that bad, he’s exaggerating. A few nurses and one other doctor have showed interest and I’ve never been interested. I already told you I don’t date people I work with.”
“Maybe you need to transfer to Aspen General.” She teased.
“I’d go tomorrow if they could find it in their budget.” Cason said seriously. Adler squeezed her hand under the table. Warren was a little surprised at the statement, but he had never seen Cason so happy in all of their years as friends.
Twenty Nine
Adler was tired of traveling. Over the last three months she was home for a week in October, Thanksgiving week in November, and the week of Christmas in December. The start of the snow season meant so much more than snowboarding every day. She was spending most of time meeting with current sponsors, signing new sponsors, dropping old ones, shooting commercials and magazine ads, and everything else that came with being a pro athlete. She was exhausted and more than anything she missed Cason. She had seen her a total of ten days out of the last ninety and she hated the separation. She wondered why the distance never bothered her when she was married, but then again, she had never experienced the kind of companionship and unbridled passion that she shared with Cason during her marriage. She was looking forward to Cason’s arrival in Aspen for the next two months. She was contemplating asking the sexy doctor to stay with her at her townhouse during her rotation stay in town. Those thoughts made her nervous. Her own husband didn’t even live with her, yes he stayed with her obviously when he was in town, but usually she was the one doing the traveling to see him. Everything about her relationship with Cason and her life now that she was dating Cason was so completely different and she felt like a new person. She was happy before, but many people had asked her recently if something had changed in her life because she seemed so different, so cheerful. Winter X Games would begin in three and a half weeks and all eyes would be on her once again because she was the hometown favorite that seemed to dominate the event, but also because that’s where her marriage fell apart literally in front of hundreds of people. She couldn’t wait to show off the new Adler Troy, hopefully with another gold medal to boot.
***
Cason was packed and ready to leave for Aspen when her shift ended at Denver Medical Center. She was so excited about seeing Adler again that she could barely contain herself. Everyone was starting to notice the pep in her step during the week leading up to her rotation for the Interim Team. Warren was the only person that knew she was dating anyone in general, much less a beautiful pro snowboarder that lived in Aspen. He worried she might not return after the last time Cason saw Adler. She walked around sulking for weeks until she saw her again. She was in way over head and spending two months with her and then leaving was going to tear her apart. He felt bad for his friend, he’d never seen anyone so in love.
“T minus two hours.” Warren teased when Cason walked by him.
“It’s crawling by.” She smiled. “Do you think anyone would notice if I left now?” She joked somewhat seriously. She knew she couldn’t leave, but oh man did she want to.
Warren patted her on the back. “I wonder if that hot blond of yours is pacing the floor like a caged animal too.” He grinned.
“It’s not that bad.”
Warren raised his eyebrows. “The nurses keep asking me if you’re drinking too much coffee. They offered to switch you to decafe secretly.” He said seriously. She laughed and smacked him for teasing her. “At least invite me up one weekend so I can meet a hot snow bunny too. Adler promised she would introduce me to some girls.”
Cason laughed. “They don’t all look like her trust me.” She raced down the hall behind him when they were both paged for an incoming trauma with multiple victims.
***
The trauma turned into two surgeries that lasted a few hours each and Cason didn’t get into Aspen until late that night. She didn’t have to be at Aspen General Hospital for the rotation change for two more days thankfully, so she went straight to Adler’s townhouse.
“Hey stranger,” Adler smiled brightly and wrapped her arms around Cason’s neck. “I missed you so much.” She whispered into her neck.
“I missed you too. I’m sorry I’m so late.” Cason pulled back enough to kiss her. She meant for it to be soft and slow, but they were so hungry for each other the kiss was much deeper and led to clothes being pulled off piece by piece.
There was no time to climb the stairs to the bedroom. Adler pulled Cason down on top of her as she fell back onto the couch. Their naked bodies slid together easily. Cason teased Adler’s nipples licking and biting back and forth. Adler pushed Cason’s hand down, she was so wet she couldn’t take it anymore she needed to feel her. Cason took the hint and slipped her fingers inside of her as her thumb rubbed against her clit. Adler spread her legs wide and wrapped them around Cason digging her heels into the couch cushion for leverage to thrust her hips up meeting Cason stroke for stroke. Cason moved her lips from Adler’s chest to her neck and then her mouth. She kissed softly, pulling her fingers back to slow her pace. She followed the same pace with her fingers that she used with her lips and tongue. Adler gripped her hair with one hand and her back with the other. Cason was relieved her nails were short and just sharp enough to make her wetter than she already was. She was so close already. She clinched her pussy as tight as she could when Adler tightened around her fingers and shuttered under her with a heavy moan and hot breath on her neck.
When Cason rolled to the side Adler kissed her again, then she moved off the couch to the floor and motioned for Cason to sit up straight on the couch. She crawled up between her knees with light kisses leading towards her ce
nter. Cason spread her legs and sat back to watch as Adler ran her tongue up and down around the sides of clit before sucking it in softly then starting over again. The bright bluish-green eyes stared up at her as Adler sucked her harder driving her straight over the edge. She ran her hand through the long blond curls, threw her head back, and rode her face as she came wildly.
Thirty
Adler was at the top of the halfpipe waiting to drop in for the first run of the halfpipe finals. She knew Cason was standing at the bottom watching and cheering as a spectator. She set her I-Pod to play her one of the songs from her pipe playlist and she pushed off.
The feel of the board sliding under her feet was like the adrenaline rush from hell. She dropped in and rode up the opposite wall into a huge air-to-fakie and back down perfectly carving back across and into a back-side-nine spinning backwards nine hundred degrees. She was in the zone, riding better than she had in recent months. Her spins were clean and her grabs were long. She finished the run with a front-side-nine, a rodeo, and a front-side-five-forty. She pumped her fist into the air at the bottom.
“That was a sick run.” Amy said when she came to a stop next to her.
Adler smiled. “I feel better than I have in a long time. I’m riding better than ever and I’m stoked!”
“Just bring it on your next run. We’ll see what you’ve got.” Amy teased. She won both of their competitions in Canada and won two out of the five International Tour events. Adler wound up winning the tour because she had more points from three wins and two second places.
