Chapter 58

After this wild, ecstatic night with Brandi, Laura found that her preoccupation with losing Jonelle was actually beginning to fade. It wasn't exactly the great sex that made her forget, but more the watershed of her relationship with Brandi. She didn't feel that because she loved Brandi that she loved Jonelle any less, but somehow having lost her seemed less final, less devastating.

Still, she knew she would rarely see Brandi. It was true, they were dynamite to each other. A normal relationship between them was impossible.

But Laura put the video away in a safe place, until she should need it again. And she returned to thinking about Cecilia and masturbating in the evenings.

Seeing Cecilia at work each day only made her desire hotter. At night she would lie in bed and indulge in heated reveries about seducing the girl. She would imagine herself slowly removing Cecilia's clothes, and often she would come before the image of the girl in her mind was even naked.

God, she's so gorgeous! she thought over and over. It was the first time in her life that Laura had countless self-induced orgasms while dreaming of someone. And she had, of course, never seen Cecilia naked. But Cecilia was a sharp dresser, and she dressed to show off her tall body, her jutting breasts, her tiny waist, her beautiful ass. She dressed tastefully, but nevertheless cleverly.

And at night, alone, Laura in her mind removed Cecilia's clothes and kissed her black black black skin, touching her own pussy carefully with only one finger, until she came. Now having lunch with the girl grew difficult. Cecilia chattered on about her boyfriend.

"He's so jealous," she said. "He's even jealous of you. Can you believe that? I told him about you, and I don't know why he thinks you're a threat to him. Men are so silly. I mean, he knows I don't... you know, like, do it with girls. How dumb!"

"Right," Laura smiled. "Dumb."

And yet all the while she was looking longingly at Cecilia's exquisite dark smooth long neck, wanting to kiss it, wanting to suck it, wanting to hear the girl yelp with a hot, uncontrollable sexual excitement that she, Laura, caused. I'm jealous of him too, she wanted to tell Cecilia. He gets to run his hands all over your naked body.

She shivered abruptly, shot through by a hot pang of sexual excitement.

"Oh, what was that?" Cecilia asked, concerned. "Are you getting sick?"

Laura realized that she must look a little wan. Just horny for you, my darling, she wanted to say.

"No, I'm all right. I just felt faint for a moment."

Cecilia reached across the table and felt her forehead for a fever.

"You're hot. You should lie down."

"I'm okay. Really."

"You know, my boss is out of town. You could lie down for a while on the sofa in his office. I do it sometimes, after lunch, if I'm sleepy. You know," she crinkled her nose, smiling mischievously, "if Ron's been pumping me the night before, keeping me awake?"

Laura smiled. She did feel a little faint. And it would mean being closer to Cecilia for a few more minutes. She gave in. Cecilia took her back to her boss's office. She propped up a pillow behind Laura's head, comforting her, leaning close, letting Laura smell her wonderful fresh odors, letting Laura's lips come agonizingly close to her incredibly black and smooth cheek.

She even leaned over far enough for Laura to peek down her blouse and see the full cups of her stark white bra, almost popping from the pressure of Cecilia's hard young breasts. This of course made Laura feel faint with lust again.

Cecilia leaned close and whispered. "I'd like to stay here and keep you company, but I really have to get to work or people will talk. But I'll look in on you in a few minutes."

"Thanks," Laura said, hungrily devouring the girl's legs with her eyes as Cecilia left the office.

She lay there for about ten minutes, mainly realizing how wet she was, how desperately she wanted to make love to Cecilia. Then she got up and went outside. She stopped at Cecilia's desk.

"Gosh, are you okay?" Cecilia said, wonderfully bright-eyed, naive, and good-natured.

"I'm... much better. Thank you for letting me lie down."

"Want me to take you home after work? I've got my car here?"

Oh god! Laura thought. Temptation. "That would be nice," she said softly, half-hating herself, but spending most of her effort trying not to blush with shame.

"Meet me here at five," Cecilia said, smiling.

Laura could hardly stand the tension. She actually got a headache during the afternoon, waiting for five o'clock. It must be pent-up lust, she thought. What else could it be? But she took aspirin, and was fine by five. Cecilia drove her home, then offered to come up before Laura could even ask her.

"Just to make sure you don't faint or anything," she said.

"Why are you being so good to me, Cecilia?"

"I like you, Laura. Isn't it obvious? I like you a lot."

"I like you too."

Laura offered her a glass of wine, once they reached her apartment. She glanced around hurriedly to make sure that Brandi or Karen hadn't left some piece of underwear lying in a conspicuous place that she had missed. But everything was clean.

"I shouldn't. I'm driving," Cecilia said.

"Maybe you're right." Laura so expected to be turned down that she didn't push it.

"But I will anyway," Cecilia said, perkily as ever.

Laura poured wine for them. Her mind briefly skittered back over all the girls she had poured wine for in her kitchen before taking them back into the livingroom and slowly maneuvering them into bed. And of course a few of them had left in a snit, only to return later, even hotter for it after having thought it over.

They talked about work, then about men. Laura enjoyed just feasting her eyes on the gorgeous girl. But then Cecilia began talking about how beautiful she, Laura, was.
