Elisa arrived at Nightstone Unlimited and was directed to the top floor, Dominique having left word with the desk in the lobby that she was expected. In fact, Robyn Correy, Dominique’s assistant, came out of the elevator just as she was about to go up and offered to show her the way.

”Be a little careful, she’s… had a rough morning so far.” Robyn told her just a little hesitantly, like she wasn’t sure if she should have said anything or not, as they arrived at her employer’s office.

”Really? …What happened?” Elisa asked curiously.

”I’m not sure, actually. It’s probably not my place to say anymore… or actually, strictly speaking, I probably shouldn’t have said anything at all. I just thought you should probably know though… Just, see if you can cheer her up some, maybe?” She asked with a little of a hesitant smile.

”Alright. I’ll do my best.” Elisa smiled with a mix of playfulness and apprehension. Not apprehension because of what Robyn said, she wasn’t worried about that, but more just because she was feeling apprehensive about all of this in general. Or a part of her was. The other, in this case more dominant, part of her very much was waiting with baited breath to see Dominique Destine again.

”And that’s all I’m saying.” Robyn said, opening the door for her.

Elisa walked in and there was Dominique, leaning against the front of her desk. Their eyes met right away and Dominique pushed off and started walking to her. Elisa moved to meet her half way, their eyes never parting until Elisa found herself wrapped in Dominique’s embrace, locked in a heated kiss. Really, it was all she could do to return the kiss and think to bring her own hands up around the other woman’s body, but oh how amazing this felt – She easily found herself just getting lost in kissing this woman, it was almost disturbing how easily… The warmth and heat that radiated from their bodies molding together against one another, the way Dominique’s hands sent electric currents of pleasure and too long denied want and need for this, for connection, for love… She was powerless against it, yet, conversely, felt so empowered by it too. Almost as though her life was hers to really start living again. Finally.
