Just Like Old Times

[heartofcourage]

“Melody…” Maggie called out to stop her friend from leaving so suddenly. “Mel, tell me what’s wrong. You’re not acting like yourself.”

It was true. This wasn’t the bright and vibrant Melody that she’d always known. This woman seemed like she were running for her life from all the bad things that were haunting her. It broke Maggie’s heart to see her beautiful friend doubting things so badly.

“Mel, if it’s something that I did…something that I said last night…well, I’m sorry. I mean, we both had a lot to drink and after smoking, things just came blurting out.” She said, a sinking feeling in her belly that she had said something to truly screw up their long term friendship.

“I mean, you are so beautiful, Mel. It hurts to see you like this.”

“Mel, if it’s something that I did…something that I said last night…well, I’m sorry. I mean, we both had a lot to drink and after smoking, things just came blurting out.”

"Don't." Melody shook her head. "Don't for a second think that anything going on with me is your fault." She stepped towards Maggie. Instinctively, her hands came up to gently cradle Maggie's face, her thumbs brushing against the soft skin.

"This is my own shit that I need to deal with." She reassured her friend, "It has absolutely nothing to do with you." She stared deeply into Maggie's eyes, wanting, no, needing, her to understand that this was Melody's problem. "I love you for wanting to fix things for me, but I have to handle this myself."

Melody smiled, this one far more genuine than the one she had plastered on just moments ago.

"Now c'mon, Gail's likely to think we've fallen into the toilets or something." She laughed and, like they used to do when they were younger, placed a chaste kiss at the corner of Maggie's mouth.

The surge of electricity that coursed through her veins just from that one, innocent, touch shocked Melody. Pulling back abruptly, her eyes locked with Maggie's, wondering if she'd felt it too. Silence reigned within the bathroom, a quiet so thick Mel could feel it pulsing around her. With her eyes firmly on Maggie's, she inched closer, her head tilting forward and her lips mere centimeters from her friend's. She could feel Maggie's breath on her lips, could practically taste her mouth. The whole while, keeping their gazes locked, looking for any sign that she should back off. The anticipation built within her and she couldn't resist any longer. For too long Melody had lusted for her friend, for too long she'd dreamed of what it would be like to spend a night wrapped in Maggie's arms, their bodies twined together.

The world around her disappeared and Melody moved forward, needing the little bit of space that separated them to disappear. Her lips tingled as they bumped against Maggie's, teasingly. Ever nerve ending in her body was on fire, her flesh raised with goosebumps.

The ear-piercing trill of Melody's cell phone broke through the silence and the lustful fog around Mel's brain. Pulling away quickly, suddenly fully aware of what she had just been about to do, Melody fumbled for her phone.

Larissa read the caller ID. Fuck, Melody had all but forgotten about her girlfriend.

"I...I have to take this." She said, stumbling away from Maggie. She fumbled with the door as she answered the phone.

"Hey, baby." She said, the door to the rest room closing silently behind her.

 

[heartofcourage]

Maggie sighed softly as Mel cradled her face so gently between her soft hands, her thumbs caressing her jaw as she continued to assure her that it was nothing that had happened the evening before. She was glad to hear it, but she didn’t like the fact that her friend was so wound up that she barely even resembled herself anymore.

Maggie parted her lips to speak when Mel suddenly smiled and sent a spark of electricity down her spine. She shivered, biting her lower lip as nerves suddenly hit. Melody suddenly moved closer and pressed a sweet kiss against the corner of her mouth and Maggie sucked in a breath as if she’d just been sucker punched. Had that really just happened, she asked herself as their eyes locked and silence swirled around them.

Then Mel started to slowly move in, her eyes still locked onto hers as their lips grew closer together. This felt so incredibly right, Maggie decided as she felt Mel’s breath wash across her skin. She felt weak at the knees, every naughty fantasy she’d ever had coming true as their lips bumped against one another and Maggie let out the smallest of moans.

“Oh…” She murmured breathlessly as she felt a wave of wetness coat her panties.

Then suddenly the moment was broken as the shrill sound of a cell phone cut through the air. Mel was pulling away, fumbling for her phone, leaving Maggie rooted in place and completely dumbfounded. She barely heard Mel’s apology before she was out the door, the echoing sentiment of Hey Baby following in her wake.

Larissa. That was the only person that it could have been. Maggie felt so deflated in that moment. Something magical was about to happen and suddenly the little witch that treated Mel like shit had come waltzing back into her life. Well, if Mel wanted Larissa, she wouldn’t argue…even if it broke her heart.

Once she had calmed, she left the restroom and entered her office and she sat behind her desk and stacks of paper and held her head in her hands. She had wanted that kiss so badly. She had wanted to make Melody feel better, but it had all ended so abruptly. That and she could feel the last few moments of nagging desire still in her belly.

“What the fuck…” She said to herself softly as she kicked off her shoes and soon had her pants and panties around her knees, her fingers caressing her wet folds as she closed her eyes and allowed herself to think about what had just happened in the restroom.

 

[SweetAsSuga]

"I'm sick of this, Larissa." Mel snapped, anger bubbling to the surface as her conversation with her girlfriend continued. Standing outside of the diner, Mel paced the sidewalk, her hand running through her hair in an exasperated fashion. "How can you expect me to trust you if I keep hearing all these stories of you off with other women. I saw the pictures that Carly sent me, she seemed quite happy to send me photos of you completely naked in her bed."

Mel had gotten the photos barely minutes before walking into the diner to meet with Gail. Though she'd deleted them instantly, she could not get the image of Larissa's naked body twined with the equally naked body of one of their mutual friends.

Larissa tried to explain, her voice pleading with Mel, begging her to give her another chance. Mel sighed.

"No," she said forcefully, "I'm not doing this anymore. If you want to sleep around with other women then go ahead. We're done. I'm not going to put up with a woman who cheats on me at every opportunity. I want you out of my apartment by the time I get back next week." With that, Mel hung up, effectively cutting off Larissa's pleading.

With a sigh, she leaned against the cool glass of the diner's window. The break up had been coming for a long time, Mel knew that, but that didn't mean it hurt any less. Tears pricked at the back of her eyes, but Mel quickly wiped them away. She had already shed too many tears over her deceitful girlfriend, she refused to let any more fall.

"Oh god, Maggie." Suddenly Mel remembered her best friend and the almost kiss. She needed to explain everything, she needed to apologize to make things right between them.

Hurrying back inside the diner, Mel asked one of the waitresses where Maggie was. After being pointed towards the back office, Mel made her way down the narrow hallway. Without bothering to knock, Mel opened the door and stopped, eyes wide, at the sight of her best friend with pants and panties around her ankles and a finger working her pussy.

There was a brief moment where Mel could have backed out without Maggie ever knowing she was there. She could simply slip away and leave her friend to her self-pleasure and pretend that she had never walked in on such an intimate moment. But something stayed Mel's feet, keeping her pinned in place, her eyes riveted to the sight of Maggie toying with herself. The desk hid most of the sight, leaving Mel's imagination to run wild.

She shouldn't be watching this, she knew that, but yet Melody couldn't walk away. Biting her lip, she took one hesitant step into the office. Maggie still hadn't seen her, too wrapped up in her pleasure to notice the slight squeak Mel's shoes made on the floor. With heart pounding in her throat, Melody took another emboldened step forward, closing the small distance between the door and the desk.

"Maggie," her voice was soft, not wanting to startle her friend. Her eyes sought out the extremely delicious sight of Maggie's pussy before moving back up to meet her friend's eyes.

Taking in a deep breath, Mel closed the gap between them, kneeling between Maggie's legs, her eyes fixed on Maggie's startled gaze.

"Don't stop," she whispered, closing the distance between them and capturing her friend's lips in a soft kiss that begged for more.

 

[heartofcourage]

Maggie whimpered as she tilted her head back, her fingers rubbing against her wet and throbbing little clit. How did Mel do this to her? How did her beautiful friend invade her thoughts and make her want her more than she’d ever wanted another person in her life? A long moan escaped her parted lips as she thought about the moment that had just occurred in the bathroom. She was so damn close to kissing Mel and the thought about those ripe lips against hers made her incredibly wet and horny.

Distantly she heard Mel’s voice murmur her name. She let out a gasp and opened her eyes, meeting Melody’s gaze with a startled squeak. How the hell was she going to explain this to her best friend? Would Mel understand or think that she was some sort of freak?

“Mel…” She said softly as the object of her desire stepped close, closing the distance between them before suddenly kneeling between her parted legs.

“Melody…” She murmured in the most dumbfounded voice as her friend cut her off and told her to not stop.

That was just before Mel closed the distance between them and pressed her lips so sensualy against hers. Maggie whimpered again, the sound so full of want and wonder that she actually curled her toes tightly. Pulling her sticky fingers from her pussy, she instantly grabbed a thick chunk of Mel’s hair, pulling her more fully into that magical moment.

 

[SweetAsSuga]

Melody couldn't help the grin that tugged at her lips as Maggie's fingers wrapped in her hair, pulling her tighter into the kiss. Eager to return her friend's enthusiasm, Melody deepened the kiss, her tongue grazing Maggie's lips, seeking entrance. Settling her hands on Maggie's waist, Melody's fingers worked their way beneath the cotton t-shirt. Maggie's skin was warm to the touch; heated, no doubt, by the...activity Melody had walked in on.

Pulling away from the kiss, Melody met her best friend's gaze. How long had Melody dreamed of this moment? Fantasized about this happening? Too long. But, finally, it would be a reality.

Pushing the t-shirt up over Maggie's breasts, Melody kissed between the two soft peaks.

"Put your arms up." She whispered, pushing the t-shirt higher. Maggie lifted her arms and Melody quickly pulled the t-shirt off her. The cute little pink bra quickly followed, landing on the floor next to the shirt. Melody took her time drinking in the sight of a naked Maggie. Her friend's nipples hardened beneath Mel's gaze, two hard pebbles just begging for attention.

Leaning in, Melody flicked her tongue across the left nipple while her fingers captured the right one, pinching and rolling it between thumb and forefinger. Her lips left a soft trail of kisses around Maggie's left breast, her tongue returning with every couple of kisses to lick the rosebud nipple.

Melody looked up at Maggie, smiling softly, happily, at the look of pleasure on her friend's face.

"Maggie," her voice was husky with desire. She kept her words quiet, treating Maggie like a deer that could startle at any moment. "Maggie, I want you to keep touching yourself." She took Maggie's hand in her own, placing it over Maggie's already wet pussy. Melody could feel the heat of her arousal and it only served to intensify her own. Leaving Maggie's hand to its work, Melody returned her full attention to those beautiful nipples.

 

[heartofcourage]

Maggie gasped at the simple, soft touch of Mel’s tongue against her lips. She parted them eagerly, moaning softly with a puff of breath as she felt Mel’s hands settle on her waist, slipping beneath the cotton shirt she wore to touch her warm skin. Was this some kind of dream? Had she died and gone to heaven? Absolutely none of this made any sense, she thought to herself the kiss broke and she found herself staring into Melody’s beautiful face.

“Mel…are you sure about this?” She whispered softly as her t-shirt was pulled up and over her breasts before the luscious mounds were being nuzzled by her best friend. “Oh, God…”

She responded in an instant to the command to place her arms over her head and she wasn’t surprised as her shirt was pulled up and over her head. Melody also made quick work of her pink lace bra, leaving her incredibly exposed to the woman that wanted her so much. It wasn’t like it was the first time she’d ever been naked in front of Melody, but it was the first time she was naked for Melody.

“Mely…” That little term of endearment slipped free as she noticed Mel’s gaze focus on her achingly hard nipples. She was slightly embarrassed that the pink nubs were already hard as diamonds, begging for attention.

“Fuck…” Her vocabulary had been seriously shortened as Melody leaned in and captured one of her nubs between her lips. She gasped and cried out, writhing in the chair as that warm, wet tongue flicked and teased across the tip of the pink bud, her other nipple tortured with pinches from those warm fingers.

The sound of her name cut through her desire like a knife and she opened her eyes to look down at Melody, trembling as her lover pulled her hand down towards her wet pussy, telling her to keep touching herself. The moment that their fingers touched her wet and willing jewel, Maggie bucked in her chair, letting out another moan as she quickly did as she was told and started to toy with her throbbing clit again.

The sucking motion of Mel’s lips on her nipple sent her back into heaven, her fingers venturing further towards her weeping entrance. Ever so slowly, she sank a finger into the snug depths, gasping at the intense pleasure that raced along her spine. She wondered briefly if Mel’s pussy felt the same as hers…

 

[SweetAsSuga]

As she sucked on Maggie's nipples, her mouth moving from one to the other as if she couldn't decide which she preferred, Melody allowed her gaze to drift down towards her friend's wet pussy and the fingers that were slowly moving in and out of the enticing center. With her heart thundering beneath her breast, Melody could not believe that this was happening. That she was here making love to the woman that she had longed for, lusted after, even loved for so many years.

They'd still be in high school when Melody realized she loved Maggie. It hadn't been like she'd been hit one day by the idea. Rather, after many years of friendship that bond had blossomed into something more. Something that Melody had never dreamed she'd be allowed to have. And, yet, here they were, with Maggie naked in front of her, moaning Mel's name as the young woman suckled her breasts.

The experience was intoxicating and, like a drunk with his whiskey, Melody wanted...no needed more.

Venturing further south, Melody traced soft kisses along Maggie's breasts. Her lips brushing against the tender underside of the the soft flesh, her tongue sweeping across the light sheen of sweat that had begun to form. But it wasn't enough. Melody moved her kisses lower, tracing her way down Maggie's stomach. She stopped, briefly, at her lover's belly button, her tongue circling the little hole, flicking inside. Teasing Maggie. Showing her just what Melody wanted to do to that enticing area between her thighs. Her kisses continued, moving lower and lower. If the way that Maggie's fingers moved rapidly in and out of her pussy were any indication, Melody didn't think her friend would last much longer. But Melody wasn't ready to stop teasing, she wasn't ready to end this little game.

Taking Maggie's hand in hers, Mel pulled her lover's fingers out of her hot center. Bringing Maggie's fingers to her lips, Mel's tongue flicked out, licking each finger clean as she met Maggie's gaze. Slipping one finger in her mouth, Mel sucked on it gently, savoring the sweet nectar that coated Maggie's finger. When each finger was clean, Melody placed her hands on Maggie's thighs, spreading them as far as she could. Her hands danced over the soft flesh of those thighs, skimming closer and closer to the hot flower that called to her. But her fingers would not touch. Just inches from Maggie's pussy, Melody pulled her hands away. Her lips replaced her fingers on Maggie's left thigh, kissing the sensitive skin on the inside of her thigh. Her kisses moved closer and closer and her lips landed mere centimeters from her goal. But still she was not ready to give Maggie that satisfaction. She repeated the action on Maggie's right thigh, kissing closer and closer to her wet pussy, the smell of Maggie's arousal a heady scent that made her mouth water.

"Tell me what you want, Maggie." Melody looked up at her lover through thick lashes. "Tell me exactly what you want."

 

[heartofcourage]

Maggie let out a gasp as her fingers were suddenly pulled from her wet center, each finger slowly sucked and licked clean by the beautiful Melody. She shivered at the sight, her free hand rising to caress though her friend’s thick mane. Melody had always been a beauty, but even more so now that they were in such a delicate situation.

The feel of Mel’s hands on her thighs, pushing them far apart, was indescribable. She sighed and wanted to beg for Mel to touch her pussy, but it seemed that her friend was intent on teasing her. She was panting, her chest heaving as Mel kissed her way across her thighs, looking up through those beautiful thick lashes to ask her what she wanted.

“I want you, Mel. I think I’ve always wanted you.” She said softly, the hand in Mel’s hair tightening slightly to pull her best friend into another passionate kiss.

Her lips were just about to meet Melody’s when a knock sounded at the office door. “Maggie, we need you up front.”

“Fuck…” Maggie whispered against Melody’s lips, glancing towards her closed office door. “Alright. I’ll be there in a moment.”

Ever so slowly, she released her grip on Mel’s hair, pressing a chaste kiss to the tip of her nose. “Tonight, Mel. I want you to come to my house and spend the night.”

 

[SweetAsSuga]

Melody groaned as the knock sounded through the office. The moment she'd been waiting for was so close only to be ripped away by a pesky employee. Maggie was ready, her body practically begging for Melody's attentions. And Mel had been ready to give Maggie the best orgasm of her life. She could still taste the sweet nectar of her friend's pussy on her tongue. Melody longed to lick straight from the source, to feel Maggie tight around her fingers. But it was not to be. Not right then at least.

She smiled as Maggie kissed the tip of her nose. The gesture so tender and loving. It only enhanced Melody's desire to not only fuck her friend but make love to her as well.

"Your wish is my command." She teased, placing her lips against Maggie's in a kiss that hinted at what was to come that night.

Pulling away from the heated kiss, Melody's chest rose and fell as she struggled to catch her breath.

"Now get some clothes on and get out there." Mel teased, handing Maggie her bra and t-shirt. "I'll be at your place around six thirty. And don't worry about dinner, I've got that covered."

She watched as Maggie dressed, taking in the curve of her breasts and the line of her hips as she pulled her panties on. "You are so beautiful." She breathed, running a hand along Maggie's side, feeling the goosebumps that rose beneath her fingers. Still on her knees in front of Maggie, Mel kissed her stomach gently before standing and drawing Maggie into one more quick kiss.

"Tonight I am going to show you just how beautiful you are." She whispered, her voice husky with need. "I'm going to make love to you in a way that no one ever has."

With one last kiss, Melody stepped away and allowed Maggie to get back to work, watching the sway of her hips as she walked out of the office.

 

[heartofcourage]

Maggie grinned as Melody told her that she would be there. She sighed softly as Mel pressed her lips so passionately against her own. The woman certainly knew how to get her engine running and she wished that she could simply shove the documents off her desk and make sweet passionate love to her best friend. Sadly, work had to come first.

“Jesus, Melody…you have no idea how bad I want you right now.” She whispered as she took the offered clothing from her lover and started to pull them on.

It was insanely difficult to continue getting dressed as Mel continued to kiss and tease her flesh. She sighed softly as she was told that she was beautiful and she glanced down at Mel as she kissed her belly before drawing her into one last kiss. The woman certainly knew how to kiss, she thought to herself as it ended.

“I’m going to hold you to that, Mel.” She whispered softly, kissing her lover one last time before she left the office to get back to work.

This is going to be a hell of a day, Maggie thought to herself as she tried to clear her mind and focus on the work that needed to be done. 6:30 seemed like so far away…

 

[SweetAsSuga]

After saying good-bye to Gail, who had almost completely slipped Melody's mind, she headed out into town on a mission. Melody was going to make this a night that Maggie would remember for the rest of her life. A night that would bring a smile to her face whenever she recalled it. A night that would make her squirm with the remembered pleasure.

Melody moved through the grocery store like a mad woman, grabbing up the things she'd need for dinner. After getting the food and dropping it off in her room at the inn, she went down the highway a little ways to the adult shop just off the next exit. Dinner was only step one of the night. Step two was when the fun really started.

The rest of the day passed slowly and Mel found herself walking around town, her body tingling with the thought of what was to come. Why had she set dinner for so late? Why couldn't she have called an early bird special and told Maggie she'd see her at five o'clock? Six thirty seemed like too long a wait. Restless and horny, Melody returned to the bed and breakfast and started getting ready. Deciding to take her time, she ran hot water into the claw foot tub and mixed her favorite jasmine and vanilla scented bubble bath. She sank into the steaming water with a sigh, the bubbles covering her and nestling against the top of her breasts.

As she lay in the tub, Mel's mind couldn't help wandering to earlier that day, to the image of Maggie pleasuring herself and, then, to how soft her skin had been beneath Melody's fingers. She remembered the taste of that tender flesh, the smell of Maggie's arousal as Melody kissed her body. She could feel her heart beating faster as she remembered the pure desire in Maggie's eyes. A hand slid beneath the water, making its way down Mel's stomach to the little button between her legs. Brushing a finger over her clit, she couldn't stifle the moan that graced her lips. She thought of what was to come that night, the pleasure that she and Maggie would find in each other's arms. Her fingers rubbing against her clit. She could feel her arousal growing and she slipped a finger inside her aching pussy. How long had she thought of, even longed, for this night? Too long. And now it was to become a reality. Her fingers worked her pussy, pumping in and out. Water splashed over the edge of the tub. The thought of Maggie's head buried between her legs, her tongue flicking over Mel's clit, was enough to bring Melody to orgasm.

Blinking away the stars that danced before her eyes, Melody gasped, basking in the afterglow of her orgasm. She could not wait until it was Maggie's fingers and tongue that brought her to the brink.

Finally, after what seemed like hours, Mel stood, naked, in front of the closet. A black lace bra lay on the bed beside a black thong and black lace garter belt that would cinch around Melody's stomach. A pair of black stockings would finish off the sexy ensemble. But what to wear over top? Mel wanted something classic and sexy. Something that screamed sensuality without being too over the top. Rustling through her clothes, Mel's eyes caught on a zebra print wrap dress. The neckline plunged enough to be seductive but not trashy and the only thing that kept the dress closed was a tie at the waist. Easy on and easy off, just the way Mel liked. Her favorite red heels finished off the outfit perfectly.

Fully dressed, Melody studied her reflection in the mirror. The dress clung to her curves, teasing and inviting. Her hair was pulled into a messy bun, a few wisps hanging down to frame her face. A simple pearl necklace adorned the column of her throat and pearl drop earrings dangled from her ears. She was as ready as she'd ever be.

 

[heartofcourage]

It always seemed that when there was always something that Maggie was looking forward to, the rest of the day would crawl by at a snail’s pace. It was punctuated with a string of inconvenient moments. The ice maker went out just before lunch. The gas grill decided to quit working before dinner. A new bartender dropped three bottles behind the bar. Still, as stressing as it was, Maggie was still thinking about the sweet woman that would be waiting on her when she got home.

It was already six when she finally got home and she flew into a frenzy. She’d never raced up that staircase faster in all of her life. She threw on the lights as she went, her old Victorian house glowing cheerfully as she made a beeline for her closet. The old oak doors creaked open as she stepped into the small walk-in, her eyes trailing along the neat rows of clothing as she searched for something that would be sexy and seductive.

Her eyes fell on one of her favorite dresses. It was a simple sheath dress in black, one that left her toned arms and shoulders bare and stopped just above her knees. Perfect, she thought to herself as she yanked it off the hanger and snagged a pair of yellow heels from her shoe rack. She barely had enough time to pull the dress over her head, leaving on the same bra and panties Mel had seen her in earlier. She slipped into her heels and placed her favorite diamond earrings on each lobe before she yanked her head out of the tie that had held it all day.

Just as her long wavy hair had framed her face, she heard the doorbell ring. Sucking in a deep breath, she steadied her nerves before she hurried down the staircase to open the door for the most beautiful woman in the world. The sight of Mel took her breath away and Maggie found herself simply staring for the longest time.

 

[SweetAsSuga]

"Damn," Melody breathed, drinking in the sight of Maggie. The dress clung to her like a second skin, showing off her already stunning body to perfection. Stepping over the threshold, Mel placed a soft kiss on Maggie's cheek, just below her ear.

"You look good enough to eat." She whispered, her lustful tone a sharp contrast to the innocent kiss. "But that will come later." She gave Maggie a lusty wink and sauntered down the familiar hallway to the kitchen, her heels clicking on the hardwood floor. Mel could vividly remember the way she and Maggie used to race down the hall in their socks, sliding across the floor into the kitchen. Sometimes Maggie's grandmother would even join them. The memory brought a smile to Mel's lips as she flicked on the lights in the kitchen. Nothing had changed much in the years since she'd last been there, and for that Mel was grateful. It was nice to know that somethings never changed.

Setting her wicker tote bag on the counter she began to unload the groceries. Melody was determined to pull out all the stops for tonight, never mind that she hadn't cooked a real gourmet meal in quite some time. When she was younger, she used to help her mom in the kitchen. The two of them would pick the hardest looking recipe in a cookbook and spend all day working on it, dancing around as they worked, a Patsy Cline record playing in the background. For tonight, though, Melody had chosen Rosemary Clooney to serenade them.

Mel could feel Maggie watching her as she moved around the kitchen, pulling out pots and pans and setting them up. Glancing over her shoulder, she smiled, the sense of home overwhelming. Why did it feel so right to be here with Maggie? It felt more right than anything ever had in Mel's life. And the thought both excited and terrified her.

"Okay, you," she said, placing a cutting board on the counter, "get started on this asparagus and I'll get these oysters ready."

Mel had planned out the dinner menu to include every aphrodisiac she could think of. They would start with a salad of leafy greens with figs and a honey, balsamic dressing that Mel had picked up at the farmer's market just outside town. The main course consisted of fresh oysters and roasted asparagus. For desert...well Mel had something special up her sleeve for that part of the night.

As Maggie got started on the asparagus, Mel placed the CD she'd brought into the player and, soon, the dulcet tones of Rosemary Clooney were caressing them both. Mel swayed, quietly singing along with the song.

"You'll never know just how much I miss you. You'll never know just how much I care. And if I tried, I still couldn't hide my love for you. You ought to know, for haven't I told you so a million or more times?" Okay, so her voice wasn't the greatest, but who could resist singing along with Rosemary? Mel sidled up behind Maggie, her hands caressing the gentle curve of her hips.

Brushing her lips along Maggie's jaw, Mel continued to serenade her friend and lover. "You went away and my heart went with you. I speak your name in my every prayer. If there is some other way to prove that I love you I swear I don't know how." Each word punctuated by a soft, sensual kiss. Her hands caressed Maggie, running up and down her sides. She kissed the juncture of her neck, sucking gently on the rapidly pulsing vein. The very idea that she could have this effect on Maggie was intoxicating. Mel moved closer so that her body was flush against Maggie's, her breasts pressed against her lover's back. Her body cried out for more and she wondered if Maggie could feel how hard her nipples were through the fabric that separated them.

Beep. Beep. Beep. The oven timer interrupted the intoxicating moment and Melody pulled away with barely audible groan. Already her arms ached to be around Maggie again. But the oven was ready for the asparagus and Mel was suddenly aware of how hungry she was. And it wasn't just a hunger for food.

 

[heartofcourage]

The moment Mel’s lips pressed against the soft skin below her ear, Maggie shivered and let out a soft moan. She could hear the lust in her friend’s voice and her panties instantly grew wet at the thought of what they would soon be doing together. Melody looked so damn sexy in that flowing printed dress, the wink and the smile that she gave her again made Maggie melt.

Maggie stood there staring as the kitchen lights were flicked on and she suddenly realized that Mel had left her standing alone next to the open door. She closed it and hurried down the hall, peeking into the kitchen as Mel unloaded her tote bag. Melody looked so right in her kitchen, starting to make the meal that they would enjoy that evening. She couldn’t even begin to describe how much she wanted Mel to stay there forever…

“Oh, come on, Mely. I’ve been cooking all day.” Maggie said with a pout on her lips as she came further into the kitchen and took the asparagus to start chopping.

She heard the sound of Maggie rummaging behind her and looked over her shoulder as she heard Rosemary Clooney singing from the CD player. Her eyes caught Mel’s as she came towards her, hands caressing over her hips. Maggie licked her suddenly dry lips, trembling slightly as Mel pressed her lips against her jaw.

“Melody…” Maggie purred as her neck was peppered with various kisses, a loud gasp leaving her lips as those sinful lips sucked at the fluttering pulse of her throat.

The magical moment was stopped as the oven started beeping. She was shivering, panting in need as Melody pulled away to take care of the sudden interruption. The distance was like a great chasm between them, growing wider even though Melody was only a short distance away across the kitchen.

“Mel, I just have to ask…what happens after tonight? I mean…I know where we will most likely end up, but what happens when you leave for the city again? I don’t think I can bear to let you go back.”

 

[SweetAsSuga]

Melody paused, the oven half open, as she heard the hesitation in Maggie's voice. It broke her heart to hear the agony in her friend's words, to hear the uncertainty that this night would be all they would ever have.

But Maggie was right. What would happen when Mel had to go back to her life, her job, her empty apartment. It all sounded so hollow without the idea that Maggie would be there with her. Mel knew, though, that she couldn't ask Maggie to leave behind her own life just to join Mel in New York. Maggie had a home of her own not to mention a business to run.

So what would happen after tonight?

"Honestly, Mags, I don't know." Mel shook her head, turning to face the other woman. "We both have our own lives that we need to get back to after Gail's wedding. Fashion week is coming up and I'll have to be there. And you have the bar and the diner that need your attention."

Suddenly, the space between them was too much and Melody quickly stepped across the floor to hold Maggie in her arms once more. She held her tight, her arms wrapped tightly around Maggie's waist, drawing her in. Placing a soft kiss on her lover's temple, Mel held on for dear life.

"One thing is certain though," she whispered, "I'm not letting you go. Not again. We'll figure this thing out, I promise you. But, for now, let's just enjoy the fact that we have tonight and at least two more days before we have to face reality." She pulled back far enough to meet Maggie's gaze. Pressing a soft kiss on the tip of Maggie's nose, Mel forced herself to smile. "Now, let's get this dinner started, shall we? I'll get the asparagus in the oven and you can open the bottle of wine that's in my bag."

She swatted Maggie's butt playfully, "Now hop to it, missy. We've got a big night ahead of us."

 

[heartofcourage]

Maggie let out a little sigh as Mel told her that she didn’t know exactly what would happen when this was all over. She couldn’t let her imagination run wild with all the possibilities that she wished she could have with Melody. She knew that there was little chance that Mel would give up her life in New York but still…she could always dream.

Maggie watched as Mel closed the distance between them quickly, her arms wrapping warmly around her waist and pulling her in tightly. Maggie wrapped her lover up in an equally tight hug, a shiver racing down her spine as a kiss was placed at her temple.

“I know. We’ll work this out.” She said softly as Mel leaned in and kissed the tip of her nose, a smile gracing her lips as her ass was suddenly swatted and Mel was telling her to open the bottle of wine in her bag.

“Coming right up, Mely.” She said, giving her friend a wink as she moved towards Melody’s bag and pulled out the vintage red wine. “Nice choice, babe.”

She couldn’t help pressing a kiss to Melody’s cheek as she walked by, her free hand caressing over her ass as she continued to the cabinet and pulled out two wine glasses. She made quick work of the cork and soon poured two glasses with a healthy amount of the ruby red liquid. Maggie nibbled on her lower lip as she topped off Mel’s glass, glancing over her shoulder at the beauty that was cooking in her kitchen. She wanted to kiss her so badly. Those full lips looked so soft and inviting…

Sipping the dark red wine, Melody let the velvet texture of the liquid glide over her tongue. She'd never considered herself much of a wine connoisseur, but she knew what she liked. And, with a glass of rich wine in her hand, and a beautiful woman standing in front of her, Melody liked this moment very much. From the way that Maggie was looking at her, her eyes shifting from Mel's eyes to her lips, Melody could only guess that Maggie was enjoying this moment, too.

The desire was too much for Mel. She wanted Maggie naked and in her arms right then and there. She could practically feel her lover's naked flesh pressed against her own.

Downing the rest of her wine in one gulp, Maggie closed the distance between them. She placed her hands on the counter top, effectively trapping Maggie between her and the counter. Brushing her lips teasingly over her lover's, Melody grinned at her wickedly.

"Why don't we take this to the bedroom," she whispered, her voice husky with lust as her lips moved hungrily over Maggie's jaw. Her hands slid up Maggie's back and, with another wicked smile, she easily unzipped the dress, her fingers touching the soft flesh of Maggie's back. She could feel the ridges of her spine and she traced the line all the way down to the top of Maggie's panties. Sucking on Maggie's neck, she let her fingers dip just below the waist of the lace panties.

 

[heartofcourage]

“What about dinner?” Maggie asked dumbly as she was trapped against the counter, Mel’s lips brushing against hers in such a teasing manner.

She let out a whimper at the seductive, husky whisper that Mel unleashed. She shivered as she felt hands on her body, pulling at the zipper of her dress until her back was hit with a cool blast of air. Was this really happening, she asked herself as she felt Mel’s fingers trace down the length of her spine, her fingers dipping below the band of her panties as lips were suddenly sucking at the delicate skin of her throat.

“Oh, Mel…” She whimpered, her own hands finding their way to her lover’s delicately flared hips and holding on for dear life as her knees threatened to give way. “I’ve…I’ve never done this with a woman before…”

Her confession came at absolutely the wrong time and Maggie wondered briefly if Mel would stop right there. She didn’t want her to stop. That was the last thing on her mind as she looked into Melody’s beautiful eyes, her hand rising to brush away a wayward lock of hair from her lover’s pretty face.

“But I most definitely want to take you to my bed, Melody. I want to make sweet love to you until you change your mind about going back to New York.” She murmured as she gave her friend a smile and slowly leaned in to claim her in a kiss, one that was heated and loving at the same time.

She loved the taste of Melody mixed with the red wine, the heady combination making the world around her tilt and turn. Mel’s lips were plush and soft, a perfect mixture that instantly made her panties wet. God, this woman could turn her on like no other and they hadn’t even done anything yet!

 

[SweetAsSuga]

"Don't worry about dinner," Mel's words escaped in a soft moan as Maggie's lips found hers. Her lips tasted like wine and Mel nibbled on her lover's lower lip, her tongue brushing softly against that soft mouth, wanting to taste more.

Mel's hands moved quickly, pushing the dress of Maggie's body, needing to feel her skin. The dress fell to the floor, leaving Maggie clad only in the bra and panties from earlier. The memory of her friend playing with herself, those pink panties around her ankles, her fingers working quickly over her clit, made Melody wet with desire. They had been interrupted before Mel could really taste the nectar between Maggie's legs, something which Melody was eager to remedy.

There was no time to stumble to the bedroom, Melody couldn't wait. She needed Maggie then and there. It was a primal, animalistic need unlike anything she'd ever felt before. The hunger would not be ignored.

Pressing her body tight against her lover's, Mel deepened the kiss, her hands tangling in Maggie's hair and pulling, forcing Maggie's face up. Her tongue delved into her lover's, dancing over Maggie's tongue with a passion that was fueled by raw desire. But it wasn't enough for Mel, she wanted...no she needed more. Her hands slid down Maggie's naked sides, her fingers hooking into the waist of those panties. Trailing her kisses down Maggie's neck, between her breasts, her lips dancing over Maggie's stomach, Mel slid to her knees, pulling those pink panties down until they lay on the floor with the dress. Mel held Maggie's hips, her fingers digging into the tender flesh as she kissed her way lower on Maggie's stomach. Finally, she reached that small tangle of hair that separated her from her prize. But Mel didn't want to rush this, she wanted Maggie to feel pleasure unlike any she'd felt before. She wanted her lover to beg for release as Mel teased and tortured her.

With a wicked smile, she kissed the inside of Maggie's right thigh. Her lips inching closer and closer towards her pussy. Her tongue flicked out, licking inches from Maggie's pussy, the heady scent of her arousal spurring Mel on. She moved to Maggie's left thigh, repeating her actions. Her kisses moving agonizingly slow towards that delicious pussy. Maggie's moans of pleasure made Mel wet. Her panties were soaked with her own arousal and it was all she could do not to pleasure herself as she teased Maggie.

Long, slim fingers traced their way up the inside of Maggie's right thigh as Mel continued her teasing on the left. Her fingers ran through the dark patch of hair, slipping between the folds of Maggie's lips to brush, like a whisper, over the little nub that pulsed with need. Already, Mel could feel the slick juices of Maggie's lust. She buried her nose between Maggie's legs, breathing in deeply.

"Fuck you smell so good." Mel groaned. "I can't wait to taste you." Her fingers continued to tease Maggie's clit as she spoke, pinching and pulling on the hard nub. She glanced up at Maggie, watching the way her lips parted, her chest rising and falling with each pleasured breath.

"Are you sure you want this, Maggie?" Mel had to ask, she had to make sure that Maggie would not wake up the next morning and regret what they had done. Melody knew that her own heart would break if Maggie backed out now, but she could heal from that. If Maggie woke up and regretted giving herself to Melody, well that was something the young woman didn't think she'd ever recover from.

Telling a chef to not worry about dinner was like telling a person to not worry about air. Still, Maggie moaned as soon as Mel kissed her so sweetly, her tongue slipping against her lover’s as they embraced one another. Who would have imaged that Mel would ever make her feel this way? Her best friend since before she could remember and she was about to take her to bed and make sweet love to her.

Maggie moaned softly as Mel’s hands worked to push her dress to the ground. She let out a needy whine as Mel deepened their kiss, her head jerked backwards as Mel took over and showed her all that she wanted and desired from her. Instantly those pink panties were soaking wet. The kiss broke far too soon as Mel pulled her panties down her legs, trailing kisses down her body until she was on her knees.

“You’re so fucking gorgeous, Mely.” Maggie whispered softly, stroking her hand over her lover’s soft hair as she stared down at her with such love and lust.

She saw the wicked smile on Mel’s pretty face and suddenly her tongue was licking the skin of her thighs. Maggie whimpered and leaned back against the counter, her thighs parting even more in silent invitation. Her kisses were agonizing, creeping closer and closer until she was moaning and squirming in front of her. Mel knew exactly what she was doing…and damn she was good at it.

“Fuck…” Maggie whimpered as her finger ran over her clit, teasing the little nub as her hips jerked in pleasure. “Mely…”

She was milking the little nub, pinching and pulling as she struggled to stand still before her. She caught her lover’s eyes, panting as Mel asked her with such aching need if she was sure she wanted this. Maggie sucked in a breath and held it, seeing the want in her best friend’s eyes. She reached down and stroked her cheek, giving her a loving smile.

“I’m not going anywhere, Melody. I want this…and I want you more than you can ever know.” She murmured, bending down to kiss her gently. “This is your home, Mel, for as long as you want it to be.”

 

[SweetAsSuga]

Melting into the soft, loving kiss, Melody sighed happily. Pulling away slowly, she took Maggie's hand and placed a gentle kiss on the warm palm.

"You always did know just what to say." She teased, a loving smile gracing her lips. The fire that burned inside her sprang up suddenly, reminding Mel that she still had not tasted between her lover's sex. Licking her lips in anticipation of the treasure that awaited her, Mel gripped Maggie's hips and smirked up at the woman.

"Now you better hold onto something," she said with a wicked gleam in her eyes, "'cause I'm about to make you weak in the knees."

Leaning in, Mel bumped her nose against Maggie's sex, teasing her lover. Parting Maggie's wet lips with one hand, she blew softly on her clit. The delicious mix of moans and whimpers above her made Melody wet. She was fairly certain that before she was done with Maggie that her own panties would be soaked through.

She could see how wet Maggie was, the smell of her arousal making Melody dizzy with need. Though she wanted to tease to her lover, Mel didn't think she could wait any longer to taste Maggie's pussy.

Flicking her tongue over Maggie's clit, Mel groaned as she got her first taste of the nectar that awaited her. Swirling her tongue around the throbbing button, Mel wrapped her lips around Maggie's clit. Sucking gently, she let her teeth scrap, ever so slightly, over the nub.

Running her hands up the back of Maggie's thighs, Mel cupped her ass, helping to hold her lover upright as her legs began to shake.

Mel continued to suckle on the pulsing clit, making love to the sweet little nub as Maggie rewarded her ministrations with moans of pleasure. But it wasn't enough for Mel. Her hunger would not be sated until she drank straight from the source of the juices that coated her tongue.

Reluctantly pulling away, Mel stood, her hands moving to grip Maggie's hips. She pulled her lover in for a passionate kiss, her tongue delving deep into Maggie's mouth as she propelled the two of them towards the kitchen table. She helped Maggie up onto the table, their lips still locked in a passionate kiss. Her fingers snaked around Maggie's back, making quick work of the bra strap and pulling the lacy bra off quickly. Trailing kisses down Maggie's neck, Mel cupped her breasts, rolling the hard nipples between her fingers. With a loving lick to each nipple, Mel continued her way down Maggie's torso, a gentle hand on her lover's shoulder laying her back on the table. Moving between Maggie's legs, she parted them with her body, opening up the hidden treasure she'd been searching for. Kneeling between those spread thighs, Mel placed a soft kiss on Maggie's clit.

"I've been dreaming about this for a long time." She breathed, her voice taking on an almost reverent tone. Hungrily, she ran her tongue along Maggie's slit, tasting the nectar of her lover's arousal.

 

[heartofcourage]

Maggie had never seen such a look of happiness on Melody’s face. She was breathtaking when she smiled and Maggie felt her breath ripped from her very lungs as Mel took her hand and placed a gentle kiss in the center of her palm. She was falling for this woman, deeply and completely as Mel smiled again and licked her lips in anticipation. The feel of her slender fingers wrapping around her hips had Maggie whimper, her pussy growing wetter if that was even possible.

Taking her advice, Maggie gripped the edge of the counter tightly and gasp a her lover dove into her sex, parting her lips and blowing on her clit until she squealed with pleasure. She was already panting, moaning for Mel as she took in a deep breath and suddenly her tongue was flicking over her throbbing clit. Maggie’s head tipped backwards, her chest heaving for air as that wicked tongue swirled and flicked her nub. The moment her lips wrapped around her clit, Maggie swore she would surely die. When her teeth scrapped over the little piece o flesh, she knew that her heart would always belong to Mel.

“Mely…” She whimpered, her fingers pushing through her love’s hair, gripping the thick locks as she suckled and nursed her clit, her legs shaking with need as her slender fingers were suddenly cupping the flesh of her ass. “Don’t stop…”

She gasped as Mel pulled away and stood, her hands moving from her bottom to her hips. She whimpered at the kiss that she was given, the taste of her juices making her dizzy as Mel’s tongue fought against hers for dominance. Fuck, this woman would be the death of her, she thought as she was suddenly placed upon the surface of the kitchen table.

Her bra was suddenly pulled off her shoulders, thrown to the ground and released with Mel’s loving hands. She watched her lover as she rolled her hard nipples, drawing little moans of pleasure from her lips before she licked each one lovingly. No one had ever taken such care of her when they made love. Mel was magical. She knew her heart would break when she went back home to New York…

“Fuck, Melody, you’re driving me crazy.” She moaned as she was pressed backwards, the hard surface of the table supporting her as her thighs were spread wide and suddenly Mel’s lips were back on their target, kissing her little clit before she rasped her tongue over her puffy lips.

“Make me your, Mely. Oh God, I need you…” She wasn’t really sure what she was saying as she got lost in the haze of pleasure but she was so incredibly needy at that moment that she was slowly losing her mind.

 

[SweetAsSuga]

If the taste of Maggie's hot center was not enough to make Melody's panties wet, her begging - more specifically that soft, breathy voice that she used - sent sent Mel's arousal through the roof.

Running her tongue along the length of Maggie's slit - from bottom to top, pausing briefly to swirl her tongue around her lover's clit - Mel couldn't stop the soft moans that escaped her lips. She had longed for this, dreamed of it, for so long that she had been afraid the reality would not live up to her fantasy. But it was so much better. Mel repeated her long stroke up Maggie's wet slit, her tongue teasing the swollen lips. Her tongue dipped into Maggie's pussy, giving the woman just a hint of what was to come.

Maggie's thighs closed around Melody, trapping her there. But there was no better place for Melody to be trapped. The tip of her tongue traced lazy circles around Maggie's clit, never touching the sensitive button, but rather toying with it, wanting to make Maggie desperate for her touch.

Bringing a hand up, Mel eased her middle finger inside Maggie's pussy. The velvet walls, slick with arousal, welcomed her finger, sucking it in greedily. Crooking her finger, Melody made a come hither motion, playing with Maggie's pussy, seeking her g-spot.

 

[heartofcourage]

Maggie nearly came the moment that Mel’s tongue ran the entire length of her slit from top to bottom. Her toes curled and she let out a pitiful moan, gasping as she stopped to tease her clit with a swirl. Her hips were dancing on the hard surface of the table, begging for more.

Each time that wicked tongue dragged itself up the length of her pussy, Maggie moaned for her lover, letting her know just what she liked. The moment that her tongue dipped deeply into her pussy, Maggie let out a cry and clamped her thighs around Melody’s head. Her fingers clenched at the hard surface of the table, holding on for dear life as her friend made love to her.

“Mel!” She whimper as she felt her finger slowly push into her body, splitting her slick folds and touching what no one had touched in such a long time. “Fuck, yes!”

Her fingers came to tangle in Mel’s thick hair, holding her firmly against pussy as that wicked finger sought out what no one had ever found before. The moment that she touched her g-spot, Maggie’s hips rocketed off the table, pressing the wet folds firmly against her lover’s lips as she let out a cry of passion that she’d never heard before.
