“You’ve never been to a spa?”

“No, they weren’t really a thing around my parts of town.”

“Then you have to go.”

“Gem, is it really the best time? Besides, I have to watch Victor.”

“It is! I mean, who knows when we’ll get this opportunity again and I’m sure Daniel and Timothy can handle him for an hour. Come on.”

“Fine. But I didn’t exactly bring any swimwear.”

“I didn’t think you were the prudish type judging from your ... field of work.”

“Seriously? You must be joking. It’s not like I was a streaker.”

“Sure ... anyways, stop overthinking it. Just come.”

Andrea had always liked water. She recalled the hot summer days when she went to the nearby lake. Although the water had been chilly to the touch, each stroke felt relieving. This was the first time Andrea had submerged herself in warm, almost burning hot, water which felt more relaxing than she had imagined. She took a deep breath and let her thoughts wander for the first time in a long while.

Gem was looking out the panoramic window at space from the other side of the pool.

“What are you doing all the way back there?” Gem asked.

“I don’t know. I’m good here.”

“Come on, the view is better here.”

“I can see it.”

“Just-”

In all honesty, Andrea felt a bit uneasy about the pool and space only being separated by a thin glass pane. But she knew realistically that she wasn’t safer where she was now so she slowly made her way to Gem in a few long strokes.

“Isn’t it pretty?”

“Yea.”

Andrea rested her arms on the edge of the pool as she gazed through the stars. Gem shifted focus from the stars to watch Andrea. She couldn’t help but to let her eyes wander down Andrea’s neck and shoulders. It was when her eyes were on the scapula that she noticed fairly old but nasty scars. Without thinking she reached out her hand to touch them gently. Andrea flinched at first contact and looked at Gem contemplatively.

“Sorry, I just saw-”

“Have you ever heard of personal space?”

“I’m sorry, I don’t know what I was thinking.”

“It’s fine, you just startled me a little.”

“What happened?”

Andrea lowered her gaze and turned away slightly before answering.

“Several things ... I seem to be an expert at attracting fucking dickheads.”

Gem moved closer and gently stroked her fingers over the scarred tissue. This time, Andrea didn’t flinch but let Gem touch her skin.

“Do you have a crush on me?” Andrea asked bluntly with a smile on her face.

“It depends. What would you say if I did?”

“That you’re crazy.”

Andrea smiled even bigger this time so that small wrinkles appeared in the corner of her eyes.

Gem moved her hand from Andrea’s back to her chin and turned Andrea’s face opposite hers. Andrea was still smiling but looked away from Gem’s intense purple eyes. Now they were sitting so close that their thighs were touching.

“You’re beautiful.”

“Aw, stop it.” Andrea moved away from Gem a little but their knees were still touching. Gem grabbed Andrea’s thighs with both hands and drew her closer again.

“So you want me to lie?” Gem asked.

“Are you alright?” Andrea teased.

“I’ve never been better, being in the first row, watching a gorgeous woman like you.” Gem moved back some of the baby hair that had escaped Andrea’s messy bun.

“You’re a little closer than the first row.” Andrea pointed out.

Gem leaned forward and gave Andrea a light kiss on the lips. Andrea pushed back Gem’s hands that were surrounding her jaw.

“That was just the starter.” Gem said.

“Come on, we have to go back.”

“Andrea, stop worrying.”

“Just saying. What should we s-”

“Stop thinking.”

Gem drew Andrea’s body closer to hers and Andrea could feel the gentle, yet muscular, arms around her waist. Gem leaned in again, this time for a much longer kiss. She then proceeded to kiss Andrea down her neck while letting her hands slip down Andrea’s bikini bottom. Once again Andrea distanced herself.

“Seriously, we shouldn’t do it here.”

“Shhh.”

Gem drew Andrea to her and continued kissing her. Andrea couldn’t resist the tingling down her nether regions and let Gem’s strong hands find their way underneath her bikini. Without any difficulties, Gem found Andrea’s clitoris and gently rubbed it in a circular motion with her index and long finger. Feeling aroused, she let her worries go for a minute. She grabbed Gem’s head and kissed her passionately on the lips. Gem felt warm inside and couldn’t help but to smile. Andrea alternated between kissing Gem on the cheek, neck and letting out a few quiet moans as Gem let her fingers slide into Andrea’s now wet and warm pussy. Both were breathing heavily, their bodies as one pressed against each other, moving in sync. Andrea felt a strong pulsating sensation as her pussy contracted and released around Gem’s fingers as they went harder and deeper inside of her. Andrea moaned louder.

“Well, fuck me,” she gasped, grabbing Gem with both arms as she started to lose control of her shaking body. Savoring the act, the juiciness and warmth of being inside Andrea, Gem got carried away and pressed her hand except the thumb into Andrea.
