Spanish Nights

by Anna Vaughn

  “Let’s go inside,” Laura breathed as she reached for her hand and led them back inside.

  Chapter 17

  Emma followed Laura inside her apartment and made the decision to go with whatever happened and not worry about the future.

  Emma watched Laura turn slowly towards her when they were beside the couch. Emma could tell that she wasn’t sure what to do next. “Where’s your bedroom?” she asked.

  Laura led them into the bedroom at the end of the hall, still holding Emma’s hand.

  Emma pulled Laura into her with the hand she was holding onto, snaking her other hand behind Laura’s neck and pulling her into a smouldering kiss.

  Emma made the decision to take the lead. She could sense Laura’s uncertainty. She was probably concerned with how fast things were moving but Emma couldn’t see any way around it. They both wanted each other, that much was obvious.

  “Some of those clothes need to go,” Emma whispered between kisses as she tugged at the bottom of Laura’s tank top, pulling it over her head and letting it fall to the floor.

  Emma leaned in to kiss her neck as she moved her fingers down to unbutton Laura’s jeans and shimmy them down her legs. Laura pushed them the rest of the way down and stepped out of them as Emma found her lips again.

  Laura moaned into her mouth as Emma massaged her breasts through her lacy navy bra. Her back arched into her as Emma teased her nipples, pinching them gently through the fabric.

  Emma wished she could draw this out longer but she needed to see Laura, to taste her.

  She reached around Laura’s back and unhooked her bra, pushing the straps down her shoulders and tossing it to the side.

  Her eyes were drawn to her hard nipples and full breasts. Emma ducked her head and trailed kisses from her collarbone down to her breasts before moving to each nipple and wrapping her tongue around each of them in turn.

  Laura’s hands were lost in her hair, urging her on, begging her to keep going. Emma’s hand cupped each breast as her tongue encircled her hard nipples.

  “I feel very underdressed,” Laura breathed when Emma’s lips roamed across her chest and up to her neck.

  Laura reached for Emma’s top, pulling it over her head. She wasted no time in unclasping her bra. Her hands covered Emma’s breasts which were slightly smaller than Laura’s.

  Laura’s fingers teased Emma’s nipples, hardening them under her touch.

  Emma leaned in to find Laura’s lips again as she unbuttoned her own jeans at the same time. She broke their kiss briefly to slide them down her legs and kick them to the side.

  They both stood there in just their panties and briefly looked into each other’s eyes before Laura leaned in to meet her lips again.

  Emma’s lips parted against hers as she walked them back to Laura’s bed, gently pushing her onto it. Her hand cupped Laura’s sex as she spread her legs with her thigh.

  Laura’s hips ground into her hand, pushing back against her touch.

  Emma slipped her hand inside Laura’s navy panties and ran her fingertips through her wet folds. She traveled further upwards until she found her clit and began to stroke it in slow circles.

  Laura’s hand cupped her cheek, pulling Emma down to her and meeting her lips in a hard kiss. Her tongue met Emma’s as her hips lifted off the sheets to meet Emma’s touch.

  “Right there,” Laura begged between kisses as Emma kept going.

  Emma didn’t want her to go over the edge that quickly. She pushed herself off of Laura and moved down the bed so that she could remove both of their panties.

  Emma hovered above Laura’s sex, the smell of her arousal filling the air. She parted her lips with her fingers and lightly moved her tongue over her clit.

  Laura’s hips rose, eager for more, as Emma’s tongue encircled her swollen bud and gently flickered across it.

  “Oh yeah,” Laura moaned, her fingers locked into Emma’s jet black hair not wanting her to move.

  Emma slid two fingers inside of her as her tongue continued to tease Laura’s clit. She moved her fingers in and out, slowly at first and then she increased her pace.

  Emma added a third finger as her lips left Laura’s sex and roamed across her abdomen to her breasts before finally reaching Laura’s lips again.

  Laura moaned into her mouth as her hips matched Emma’s pace. Her nails dug into Emma’s back as her orgasm grew closer.

  Emma’s tongue met Laura’s in an eager dance and she felt Laura’s walls tighten around her fingers as she came hard, rocking her hips against her hand.

  “Oh, Emma,” she whimpered as her body shuddered, her lips so close to Emma’s.

  She leaned down to kiss Laura passionately as her body went limp underneath her.

  Emma brushed away a lock of Laura’s hair away from her eyes as she moved to lie down beside her while they both caught their breath.

  “That was insane,” Laura said, turning her head to look into her eyes.

  “It was,” Emma breathed as she closed her eyes to savor the moment.

  As she opened her eyes, Laura was moving to straddle her waist and leaning in to kiss her.

  Emma’s hands cupped her ass as Laura’s tongue met hers in a steamy kiss. Emma could feel her clit pulsating as Laura continued to kiss her. She desperately needed to feel her touch.

  Laura’s hands roamed across her body, massaging her breasts and pinching her nipples before her fingertips moved down to her dripping wet folds.

  “Wow,” Laura breathed as she ran her fingers through Emma’s sex.

  “I want you so badly.”

  Laura didn’t need any more hints. She plunged three fingers inside of her as she spread Emma’s legs with her thigh.

  Emma bit down hard on her lip as Laura’s hands seem to be working some sort of magic on her.

  Laura leaned in to capture her lips once again as her fingers continued to pump in and out of her.

  Emma moaned into her mouth as their tongues eagerly collided, her fingers digging into Laura’s back.

  “Don’t stop,” Emma panted as her hips ground into Laura’s hand, putting more pressure on her clit until she felt her orgasm take over her body. She rode the waves of pleasure that moved through her until she was completely spent.

  Laura moved to be beside her, draping her arm across Emma’s stomach as they both caught their breath.

  Emma closed her eyes for a second. Her heart felt like it was going to explode, it was beating so fast.

  “That was amazing,” Emma said softly, turning to kiss Laura in a gentle yet sensual kiss.

  Emma couldn’t believe she’d be flying back to Dublin tomorrow morning and she had no idea what was going on.

  After a night like this, surely, they’ll both be able to say that this should be more than a one-night stand, that they should see each other again at least once more.

  Chapter 18

  March 17th

  Emma leaned back in her leather chair as she read over her schedule for the day again.

  Why did I do this to myself?

  She had meetings with prospective clients all afternoon. She’d just flown back to Dublin and she’d thrown herself back in the deep end.

  As soon as she’d booked the flight home she’d called Sharon to fill up her calendar and get as much done as possible this week.

  Sharon reminded her that Saint Patrick’s Day was on Tuesday but Emma told her to book anyone that was willing to meet that day. She didn’t care about St. Patrick’s Day.

  She wanted to get back to her normal life which meant getting back to work as soon as possible.

  Now she’d wished she hadn’t. She ran a hand through her silky hair and felt a chill run through her as she remembered last night.

  What a week…

  It was surreal but she knew that she’d have to pay for it now. She’d wander down to the local gay bar this weekend and probably spiral into a depression at the realization that no one was going to live up to Laura.

  Damien kno
cked on her open door, taking her away from her thoughts.

  “Hey, glad to see you back,” he said with a smile. “How’d it go?”

  “Good. We’ll just have to see how the next few months go. They’re coming into tourist season now so hopefully it goes well. We’ve made a lot of progress in a week. The website looks great.”

  “I know. Mark did a great job.”

  “I convinced Dad to buy a few TVs as well as a used pool table and a dart board.”

  “Really?” Damien asked with a laugh. “Wow. Well done. That’ll make a difference. I’ll never understand why there isn’t a pool table and a dart board in every pub.”

  “I know. I got him signed up to get every sports channel too.”

  “I won’t know the place when I go back,” Damien said with a smile.

  “Well, it’ll look much the same. That was one thing that Dad wouldn’t budge on and I don’t blame him. I don’t want to see Murray’s turned into a gimmicky Irish bar either. We just borrowed all the good ideas from said bars.”

  “I’m sure Mum and Dad are feeling better about things now?”

  “I’d like to think so.”

  “I’m going to head off,” Damien said as he turned to leave. He paused before he walked out. “You should go to Malaga more often. The bit of sun has done you good. You’re actually glowing.”

  Emma nodded as he left. She didn’t feel the need to explain that it had nothing to do with the sun and everything to do with the mind-blowing sex that she’d had last night.

  Chapter 19

  April 20th

  Emma didn’t need to come back to Benalmadena so soon but she wanted to check in on her parents and to see how the pub was doing. There was also the possibility of seeing Laura again.

  She’d never had a one night stand that she thought about so much. They’d stayed in touch during the last month, sending texts most days and a phone call maybe once a week.

  They never talked about anything too serious like their feelings.

  They just enjoyed talking to each other but now that they were in the same country, Emma couldn’t help thinking about the possibility of more.

  They’d agreed to meet up in Malaga tonight for a few drinks.

  Emma was glad to be back. The weather had been miserable in Dublin and the temperatures here were picking up.

  She went for a swim in the ocean earlier and promised herself that she’d go for a morning swim every day until she went back.

  Her parents were doing well too. They seemed happy and were speaking positively about the future. She’d just heard all about it over dinner.

  It looked like the money that they’d spent investing in televisions, cable subscriptions, local advertising, a pool table and a dart board were already starting to pay off.

  Emma had done a lot bigger things in the last ten years business wise but this small win was so much more rewarding.

  Chapter 20

  Laura sat outside one of her favorite pubs in Malagueta, her shades on as the evening sun started to fall.

  She was wearing white shorts and a blue tank top and enjoying a glass of wine while she waited for Emma to arrive.

  They hadn’t seen each other in a month but they’d kept in touch. Laura didn’t know how she’d feel when she saw her again.

  The night they’d spent together had been amazing but they never talked about what they were to each other.

  Was it just a fling or did Emma think that it was worth pursing even though they lived in two different countries?

  She hadn’t expected Emma to be back this soon but when she knew she was coming, she cleared her schedule and made sure that she was free for the few days that Emma was here.

  “Hey, stranger.”

  Laura looked up to meet Emma’s steel blue eyes. She never saw her coming. She’d been too lost in her thoughts.

  Laura swallowed as she pushed her shades on top of her head and greeted her with a smile.

  “Hey,” Laura said, hoping that she didn’t sound too eager. “How was your flight?”

  “Fine. It’s starting to become routine now.”

  “How are your parents?”

  “They’re doing great,” Emma said with a funny look on her face that Laura couldn’t quite figure out.

  Laura nodded and wondered if there was something wrong that Emma didn’t want to talk about so she changed the subject.

  “Have you eaten?” Laura asked. “The tapas here are amazing.”

  “I just had dinner but I’ll remember this spot. If you want to eat, work away. I don’t mind.”

  “No, I’m okay for now once I get another glass of wine,” she said with a smile as the waiter came over.

  Laura ordered her drink in Spanish and watched as Emma asked for hers in Spanish too.

  “I didn’t know you spoke Spanish,” Laura said as she leaned back in her chair.

  “It’s awful but I hate being such a tourist. I think it’s rude to just show up and expect everyone to speak English back to you when you’re in another country.”

  “It sounded okay to me.”

  “I’ve been brushing up. It was easier when I was younger and coming here every summer. It didn’t seem like work. I was friends with a few local kids and I learned so much from them without even trying.”

  “I know what you mean,” Laura said as the waiter returned with their drinks.

  “So, what do you want to do tonight?”

  Laura met her eyes and wondered if this was the point where she should ask Emma how she felt about things. Instead she chickened out.

  “You’re only here for a few days. Whatever you’d like to do is fine with me.”

  Emma brought her glass to her lips. Laura distracted herself by looking across the ocean as the sun sunk lower in the purple sky when all she wanted to do was take in the woman sitting across from her.

  “I think I’d like to watch the sunset from your balcony,” Emma said.

  “Sure,” Laura said, reaching for her glass. She knew that if they went up to her apartment, Emma would probably end up staying the night.

  Laura could still taste Emma’s lips even though it was a month since the last time they’d kissed.

  She just wished she knew where she stood because as much as she didn’t want to, she was falling hard for Emma.

  Chapter 21

  June 22nd

  Emma leaned back in her office chair and felt her lips moving into a smile. She couldn’t remember the last time she was this happy.

  She didn’t know why. Yes, she was falling for Laura but it was going to be a disaster.

  Emma couldn’t believe that it had been two months since she woke up next to Laura after another amazing night together. She’d been worried that the first night was a once off explosion of pent up passion on her part but the second night was even better.

  She could still feel Laura’s hands running across her skin and the tingle that she felt all the way to her fingertips when Laura kissed her.

  Emma’s phone rang, interrupting her thoughts.

  “Hello?”

  “What time is your flight, Emma?” her mother asked.

  “I’ll be there tonight at 10:30.”

  She was leaving work early this evening so that she’d have enough time to get to the airport.

  Her parents had invited her out to celebrate. The pub was already doing better than it had in years and they wanted to thank her.

  Emma didn’t need to be asked twice. The weather in Malaga today was clear blue skies with a high of twenty-eight degrees Celsius or eighty-three degrees Fahrenheit.

  She’d also get to see Laura again.

  Chapter 22

  June 23rd

  Laura glanced down at Emma’s hand as they walked side by side towards her apartment. She wrestled with the idea of reaching for it casually but things were so easy right now. She didn’t want to unnecessarily complicate them.

  It was a hot evening but there was a gentle breeze coming off the
ocean that made it tolerable.

  They’d spent the day together wandering through the streets of Malaga and enjoying dinner down at the port overlooking the marina that was always full of yachts and cruise ships.
