Without answering her, Marina leaned in and kissed Cecilia deeply. She let her tongue slip into the warm moisture of Cecilias mouth and was quickly reminded of what they had been doing only a few short hours earlier. How long until she gets back? Marina asked moving her mouth from Cecilias lips to her throat.

Unfortunately, they could be here any minute, Cecilia said wishing it werent true.

Then this will have to wait until later, Marina responded pulling away. Cecilia wore a disappointed look on her face and Marina laughed gently at her pout.

You promise? Cecilia asked sticking her bottom lip out a little. Marina loved it when Cecilia played the innocent game. As if it were natural, they had slipped into a pattern of passive/aggressiveness that only they could understand. Their friends always saw two strong women that had, in the past, both been very dominant lovers. But when they were alone together, Marina and Cecilia let their more vulnerable sides show. On the rare occasion that neither of them was willing to give up the lead, their lovemaking turned almost violent with both women feeling the need to possess the other. Those nights they were glad they lived alone. Right now, Marina knew that it was her turn to take over. Slowly leaning in, she took Cecilias bottom lip between her teeth before forcing her mouth onto Cecilias waiting lips and tongue. Marina wrapped her arms around Cecilias waist and forced her back against the closest wall of the office. Almost slamming into it, Cecilia moaned and let Marina do as she wanted. They were both beginning to reach the point of no return when the doorbell rang. Marina slowly pulled away and smiled seductively at Cecilia.

I promise, she said huskily and left Cecilia leaning against the wall out of breath.

***** Cecilia said with a smile as she watched Marinas backside sway as she walked away. She heard familiar voices as she collected herself and joined her friends and fianc in the dining room to discuss their war plans.

With their meals complete and arrangements made for the next day, Melissa and Gwen called it an early evening and left the two women to their own devices. Cecilia closed the door behind them and turned to say something to Marina. Now where did she go? she asked herself out loud when she saw that Marina was no longer behind her. She heard the patio door in their bedroom open and close and smiled. The pool she said out loud again. Marina had taken to swimming at night before they went to bed and Cecilia made her way outside just in time to see Marinas tanned form diving into the water. Marina had forgone her bathing suit and Cecilia slowly walked to the side of the pool and watched as Marina swam under the water for a while. When she surfaced, Marina tossed her wet hair back and gave Cecilia a smoldering look.

Come join me, she said in a husky voice. Cecilia slipped her shoes off and began to quickly remove her clothes when Marinas voice stopped her. Slow down I want to watch you, she said swimming to the side of the pool and looking up at Cecilia. She was more than willing to comply and Cecilia slowed her movements as she began a steamy strip tease. When she unhooked her bra and leaned over to shimmy out of it, Marina laughed and clapped as she yelled for Cecilia to take it all off. Cecilia smiled and did as she was told sending Marina looks that told the woman in the pool that she was in for another long night. When completely naked, Cecilia dove into the pool and quickly surfaced to swim towards Marina. When she reached her, Marina spun Cecilia in the water and pinned her against the side of the pool.

I love it when youre wet, Marina whispered before letting her lips fall on Cecilias.
