“Or I pull this car over right here in the middle of town and we figure out how to do it in the mini.”

“Tempting,” Dana said, “but no. Let’s save that for another time.”

Alice had Dana’s blouse unbuttoned before the front door opened. By the time she backed Dana against it as it closed behind them, Dana’s slacks were at her ankles. She stepped out of them and pulled Alice’s shirt over her head as she turned turned the tables and backed Alice against the door. Looking deeply into Dana’s eyes, Alice took her hand and led her to bed. Dana started to button her blouse as she sat, but Alice stopped her, placing her hand gently on Dana’s.

“Trust me?” she asked softly.

“With my life.”

“Let me love you.” Alice gently pushed her back and lowered herself onto Dana’s body.

She kissed Dana’s neck and trailed her way down with butterfly kisses. Making sure to keep the right side covered, Alice let the other side of Dana’s blouse fall open and ran her tongue around Dana’s breast in concentric circles from the outside in. By the time she reached her prize, Dana’s breathing was erratic, small moans escaping her throat. She ran her hands through Alice’s hair, encouraging her to continue. Dana nearly came as Alice began alternating light nips with languorous circles and barely there breaths. She didn’t notice when Alice refastened a key button as she prepared to move down to give the same treatment to her throbbing clitoris.

Dana lost herself in pure pleasure as Alice took her to the brink and over the edge time and again. Summoning the last of her strength, Dana sat up and brought Alice with her, their legs settling around each other. Alice’s eyes were hooded with desire as Dana slid three fingers into her. Dana matched Alice’s pace as they rocked together, lost in each other and the moment. Finding each other’s most intimate spot, they at last shared another emotional, explosive release. Alice caught Dana as she began to collapse and eased her gently back, landing in the crook of Dana’s arm. Neither spoke. No words were needed. They would only pale in comparison to what they felt. And so with one last kiss, the couple surrendered to magnificent sleep.
