Chapter Seven

Things did look better in the morning. Not only had Emma rationalized her reaction to Melinda, she decided that it was due to a long spell of no dating and no sex. What other reason could it be? She didn't catch a glimpse of Melinda all day long. She actually began to think that the evening hadn't meant that much to Melinda since she hadn't even bothered to stop by to say hello.

By late afternoon, Emma was beginning to feel more than a little put out that the evening had meant so little to Melinda. She headed for her car, intent on going home and making it an early night. She planned on having a quick bite to eat, finishing a few chores, and then off to bed.

She rapidly prepared a light dinner and while eating, paid her bills. She sorted clothes and started a load of wash, before running a vacuum through her house, and doing some dusting. The house was always kept spotless, but Emma was feeling extremely vulnerable and when she felt that way she cleaned. Emma's confidence was lagging and she couldn't believe that the evening she'd spent with Melinda had meant so little to her. Checking her watch, she decided to change into her pajamas and crawl into bed. She was restless and irritated, not her normal mood. She had just sat down on her bed to change when the telephone next to her elbow rang.

"Hello."

"Hi." It was Melinda.

"Hello." Emma's heart beat quickly.

"I need to confess something to you." Melinda's voice was very quiet.

"What?"

"I intentionally avoided you all day."

"Why?"

"Because I thought if I avoided you. I wouldn't think about you all day."

"Did it work?"

"No."

Emma grinned happily. "How was your day?"

"Good, busy, but good. I missed seeing you."

"I missed seeing you. How's this going to work?"

"I think we need to take it day by day and let everything work its way out."

"Melinda, I like you a lot. But if it's too difficult for you, I'll understand if you don't want to date me."

"It's not too difficult, and I promise I won't ignore you anymore."

"I could have sought you out today. I was just as scared."

"We sure are a pair. I really did miss you today."

"Meet me in my office tomorrow at seven-thirty and I'll share my coffee with you."

"That's a deal."

"Good. Now, go get some sleep."

"Emma, thank you."

"For what?"

"For just being you. Goodnight."

"Goodnight." Emma smiled as she hung up the telephone. She was really beginning to like Melinda.

Emma arrived at work thirty minutes early intent upon having fresh coffee brewing and being settled in her office before Melinda arrived. Melinda apparently had other plans. She'd already been there, and left pastries, a bouquet of flowers, and a card on Emma's desk. Emma smiled as she prepared the coffee. She sat at her desk and opened the card. It was a simple message, handwritten on a blank card. 'I missed you. Melinda.' It went straight to her heart. Emma couldn't help sighing, flowers, a card, and breakfast. It was a sweet thing to do and it touched Emma deeply.

"Good morning." Melinda stood just inside Emma's office door.

"Good morning. Come in and sit." Emma and Melinda's gaze locked on each other. Emma's body filled with warmth as she allowed her attraction for Melinda to wash through her. "Let me pour you some coffee. Melinda, the flowers are beautiful, and thank you for the pastries, and the card.

"You're welcome." Melinda took the full cup of coffee from Emma and their fingers touched. Emma hesitated releasing her grasp as the jolt of electricity snapped through her body. Melinda's eyes never left Emma's face but they glowed hotly as Melinda felt the same jolt of feeling.

"What's your day look like?" Melinda tried to keep her voice normal but Emma's touch had knocked her composure. She had to struggle with her breathing.

"Busy." Emma released the coffee cup and sat down, her eyes sliding over Melinda's trim body in her very professional business suit. "You look terrific."

"Thank you. I have a meeting to attend." Melinda blushed as she smiled at Emma. "Can we see each other tonight?"

"Sure." Emma's heart pounded in her chest. "Is everything okay?"

Melinda bent closer to Emma with a grin. "Everything is absolutely perfect. I just don't want to wait until Friday night."

"What would you like to do?"

Melinda didn't say a word but her blue eyes held Emma's attention, a sexy little grin on her face. Her response was cloaked in the hot gaze she directed at Emma. Emma felt it all the way to her toes.

"Ah, I think I'll fix a light dinner for two." Emma was suddenly very nervous and breathless.

"I'll be there by six." Melinda's look of promise had nothing to do with arriving on time.

"I'll be waiting." Emma's voice cracked, her heart pounding loudly in her chest. One long last look and Melinda left a flustered Emma in her office.

"Damn." Emma cursed as she jostled her coffee, spilling some on her desk. She had no control over her reaction to Melinda. "Calm down, girl."

"Ms. Sharp, are you okay?" Emma looked up into the concerned eyes of Jeremy Little, ninth grade class president, and her first appointment.

"I'm fine, Jeremy. Come on in." Emma chuckled. "I just spilled my coffee and was telling myself what a klutz I am."

Jeremy grinned at his favorite counselor. There was nothing klutzy about Ms. Sharp. Boys and girls alike found her open, honest, and in the teenage vernacular, hot. The two of them immediately began to chat amiably as they worked on the ninth grade class assembly. Once the meeting with Jeremy was over, Emma had student after student in her office and very little time for any breaks. Her days were usually very busy, but this particular day it threw her off. She had way too much emotion churning in her head, and a nervous feeling in the pit of her stomach.

Emma burst into her house at five-forty completely unraveled. She had twenty minutes to straighten her house, clean up, and start dinner before Melinda arrived. A last minute minor emergency kept Emma overly long at school. She'd just gathered her junk out of the living room when the doorbell rang.

"Damn." Emma rushed to open the door, her heart pounding in her chest as she took a big breath before she yanked it open. Melinda and Tia were standing together on the front porch. Emma's heart jumped in her chest at the sight of Melinda.

"Hello." Emma's stunned face gave her away as she looked at Tia.

"Hey, girlfriend, invite us in." Tia teased as she followed Melinda into the house.

"Tia, what are you doing here?"

"Don't sound so thrilled to see me." Tia hugged her with a knowing grin. "I'm on my way to a dinner meeting and I thought I would stop by and say hello. Melinda and I ran into each other outside."

"Do either of you want a glass of wine?" Emma's nerves were frazzled. Tia recognized the signs and placed her hand on Emma's arm.

"No, I just want a hug and a promise that you'll call me sometime this weekend." Tia requested, deciding to give the two women a break.

Emma hugged her tiny friend tightly. "I promise I'll call you."

"You better." Tia threatened with a smile. "Melinda, it was nice running into you."

"Tia, you don't have to leave." Melinda felt bad that Tia was going to take off. She'd just arrived.

"Melinda, I really do have a meeting. Emma, love you, girlfriend." Tia hugged her best friend as she headed for the door. She almost laughed out loud. Emma and Melinda wanted to be alone in the worst way.

"I'll call." Emma responded as Tia waggled her fingers and shut the door behind her. If Tia read all the signs, Emma's many months of no sex were about to come to an end, and very quickly.

Emma sighed heavily and turned to Melinda. "Hello."

"Hi." Melinda grinned as she closed the space between herself and Emma. She slid her arms around Emma's neck as Emma's body molded to her own.

Their lips met in a hungry kiss as their attraction for each other unleashed itself. Emma's mouth drove Melinda crazy as she first kissed her with hot, wet kisses, her tongue sliding deliciously against Melinda's lips, running her tongue through her mouth. She then tasted the very sensitive skin behind her ear and down her neck. The jumble of feelings Melinda felt were all tied up in an overwhelming hunger to make love.

Melinda's arms dropped from Emma's neck as she slid her hands down Emma's slender back to her waist and rested them on her hips. Hesitating for a moment, she felt Emma's lips nibbling at the tops of her breasts. She hadn't even noticed Emma had unbuttoned the top of her dress. Her hands slid down Emma's hips and clasped her body tightly against her own, their hips straining against each other's. Melinda found Emma's lips with her own in a searing kiss, her hands sliding up and cupping Emma's heavy breasts.

The moan that escaped from Emma as Melinda kissed her again was all the encouragement Melinda needed. Her fingers found Emma's swollen, aching nipples and caressed them through the silk fabric of her blouse.

Emma pulled her mouth away from Melinda's as she tried to catch her breath. "Are you sure about this?"

"No." Melinda answered truthfully. "But I want this." Her fingers still stroked Emma's breasts as she gazed into her eyes. "I want to make love with you very much. It's all I think about."

Emma's sexy smile was answer enough, as Melinda kissed her again. "Melinda, the bedroom." Emma gasped as she tried to move them in the general direction.

Melinda looked up at Emma as she was tugged down the hall. This was so overwhelming, her wanting her so much. She had never felt this way before for any woman. She couldn't think normally about her. Maybe if they slept together the feeling will dissipate and she could deal more rationally with it. As they entered the bedroom, Melinda's mouth again found her lips, Emma's fingers immediately going to the buttons of Melinda's jacket. Her hands shook as she rapidly removed Melinda's jacket and blouse.

"Emma." Melinda whispered against Emma's mouth. "Let me undress you. I've been dreaming about this since the moment I met you."

Emma's heart melted at Melinda's words, as she stood up straight in front of Melinda. She gazed at Melinda, a sensuous smile on her face, her body shivering with a deep craving. Melinda's hands trembled as she slid Emma's blouse from her shoulders and dropped it on the end of the bed. The lacy beige bra that Emma was wearing made Melinda breath deeply.

"You're so beautiful." Melinda smiled at Emma as she ran her hands down her shoulders and arms enjoying the feel of her skin. The tall, beautiful woman with the golden eyes glistening at her almost overwhelmed her. As Melinda leaned forward and kissed Emma softly, Emma's lips opened to allow Melinda's tongue to sweep through her mouth.

Emma's knees were weakened as Melinda's kiss created a new flame of passion burning throughout her body. Melinda's mouth on her upper breasts caused her to slide her arms around Melinda's waist for support, her legs wobbling. Melinda's fingers fumbled with the straps of Emma's bra and it slid away from her body to fall to the floor. Emma blushed as Melinda's eyes slid over Emma's full breasts. Emma had always been a little embarrassed of her overly endowed figure. Combined with her height, Emma's body had always attracted attention, but not always the kind Emma wanted. She started to raise her arms to hide her breasts. Melinda gently grasped her wrists to stop her.

"Emma, look at me." Melinda touched Emma's cheek. "I love the way you look. I have been fantasizing about this moment since the first moment I met you. Your body is incredibly beautiful. But, it is not just about sex. I watch you with your students. They love you, and that tells me more about you then anything else. I've seen your face when you talk to them. You love your students as much as they love you. I find that almost as appealing as standing here with you. You are so full of love for your work. I am humbled by the talent you have for making everyone who comes in contact with you feel special."

"Melinda, I haven't slept with anyone for over a year." Emma shook in her arms. Emma was never that comfortable being completely naked and she wanted this night to be perfect.

"Emma, I haven't slept with a woman since Rita and that whole mess over a year ago." Melinda was terrified when it came to pleasing Emma. Her self esteem had taken a huge blow with her last relationship.

Emma's fear evaporated as she saw the insecurity on Melinda's face. "Do you think it's like riding a bike? Does it come back to you?" Emma grinned as she quickly unbuttoned Melinda's jacket and blouse.

Melinda chuckled responding to Emma's teasing. "You'd better hope it comes back."

"Oh, somehow I don't think we have anything to worry about." Emma laughed, pushing Melinda's jacket and blouse off her shoulders.

"You have lots of faith in our abilities, darlin'."

"Honey, we're two very smart, talented women who should be able to handle this." Emma very quickly slid Melinda's slacks and nylons down her hips and bent over to slide them down Melinda's long slim legs. "But if you keep speaking in that bone melting southern drawl, I can't guarantee anything."

Melinda's chuckle made Emma smile. "I am going to do more then melt your bones with words." Melinda tugged Emma to her feet and covered her mouth with a kiss.

Melinda's hands stroked Emma's back, her lips feasting on Emma's mouth. Emma stripped Melinda's bra from her body and they were breast to naked breast. Emma felt the familiar tug of heat between her legs as their breasts rubbed against one another's. Melinda's hands once again cupped Emma's breasts and then found her nipples, drawing a hiss from Emma. Melinda's lips covered Emma's breasts with kisses and Emma trembled again with passion.

"Darlin', I am going to melt this beautiful body with my mouth because I am going to kiss you from head to toe." Melinda's mouth illustrated her intentions as she suckled on Emma's nipples and rapidly removed Emma's remaining clothes.

"I don't think you've forgotten a thing." Emma sighed, sliding her hands along Melinda's ribs and around her breasts. Emma turned Melinda and gently pushed her on to the bed following her on to it, her mouth surrounding a nipple. Her hands slid over Melinda's body as her lips covered Melinda's breasts with kisses. Melinda's body writhed under Emma's attentions, her body on fire as Emma's mouth traced over her stomach and hips. Melinda's moans of pleasure and her passionate words of encouragement let Emma know she was pleasing her with her lovemaking. Emma's hands traveled over Melinda's thighs and calves as her lips nuzzled the tops of her legs. Making love to Melinda was overwhelming. She had never found such pleasure and emotion during lovemaking. Pleasing this woman had become her single goal. The scent of Melinda's body was mesmerizing to Emma, as her mouth covered Melinda's swollen center.

"Emma!" Melinda gasped as her tongue teased her, streaks of unbelievable pleasure coursing through her body. Emma smiled as she feathered her fingers against Melinda and then slid them inside her. She loved that Melinda's tight center was slick with moisture, while her tongue found her sensitive tissue and tasted her for the first time. She stroked and teased Melinda as her hips jerked and twisted, her hands clenched in the sheets. The tensing of Melinda's thighs and hips caused Emma to increase the pressure of her tongue as Melinda began to gasp. An orgasm shattered Melinda's body as she dissolved with wave after wonderful wave. Emma rested her face on Melinda's stomach holding her grasp on Melinda's hips. Melinda's fingers unclenched from the sheet and found Emma's hands holding her hips. She slid her hands into Emma's and held on tightly, her body shivering with the aftermath of Emma's lovemaking.

"I wonder what you would have done to me if you had been practicing for the last year." Melinda whispered with a grin as Emma moved up her body to hold her tightly.

"I'll probably need to do that ten or twenty times to get it right." Emma whispered in return holding Melinda tightly in her arms.

"What a truly luscious suggestion." Melinda smiled as she nuzzled Emma's neck. Slowly she rolled Emma on to her back. Melinda's lips slid deliciously across the sensitive skin of Emma's neck and shoulders. Emma held her arms loosely around Melinda's waist, absorbing the pleasure of Melinda's attentions. Melinda's mouth savored Emma's breasts, covering them with hot, moist kisses, her fingers stroking, and teasing her breasts. Emma's body shivered with passion, as Melinda teased her nipple with her tongue, before surrounding it with her lips. A cry burst from Emma as she arched her back while Melinda sucked on her nipples. The heat from her mouth created shock waves in Emma's body. Melinda's hips slid against Emma's, while her hands traced the skin of Emma's ribs and hips.

"Wrap your legs around my waist." Melinda requested, as her hands sliding down Emma's thighs. Her fingers slid against Emma, drawing another cry from her as she did as Melinda asked. "You feel so wonderful, so wet, and so tight."

Emma reacted to her words as Melinda stroked her erotically. Emma pulled Melinda's face up to hers and kissed her while Melinda's fingers slid tantalizingly into Emma. That very intimate joining between them brought tears to Emma's eyes as Melinda kissed her, her tongue sliding against Emma's with the same rhythm as her stroking fingers. Grasping Melinda's hips tightly in her hands, Emma pulled her firmly against her body as the first stirrings of an orgasm chased through her body. Melinda's kisses caught the moans that Emma couldn't control. Melinda's stroking deepened until she pushed Emma over the edge, her body shattering into a shimmering, pulsing center of pleasure. Emma buried her face in Melinda's neck as she shivered and shook, unable to do anything more then gasp. Just as her body's shaking began to subside, Melinda's stroking began anew and Emma's body was once again engulfed in an even more earth shattering orgasm.

"Emma, you are so beautiful." Melinda whispered, kissing Emma deeply. Emma smiled at Melinda as she responded to her words.

"Are you sure you haven't been practicing? You're very good at this." Emma's lips traveled over Melinda's jaw before kissing her thoroughly.

"Honey, we just moved mountains." Melinda laughed, rolling on to her side and pulling Emma into her arms.

"We did, didn't we?" Emma sighed leaning on her elbow, watching Melinda. "Are you hungry, do you want a bite to eat?"

"Honey, I'm hungry, but not for food." Melinda whispered, tugging Emma until she lay on top of her. Her lips teased Emma's neck.

"So Ms. Georgia, what have you got in mind?" Emma's hands found Melinda's breasts and her lips nibbled on her nipples.

"Nothing, you just made every thought float out of my head." Melinda moaned, her own hands reaching for Emma's breasts.

"Let me see if I can help you with your memory." Emma smiled as she sat up on Melinda's hips and bent over to suck Melinda's nipple into her mouth. Melinda arched her chest up against Emma's open, hungry mouth, groaning with pleasure.

It was after eleven before the two of them finally took time out for a bite to eat. Melinda was wearing a robe of Emma's while Emma had thrown on a royal blue nightshirt. They sat at the kitchen counter sharing a sandwich and a glass of milk. They still felt the need to touch frequently as they shared their thoughts. They both felt the connection and we're unable to do anything but succumb to it. Something meaningful and real had happened to the two of them. Melinda was very much at home, as she sat in the cheerfully decorated kitchen next to Emma. The house was so much a part of her. It was comfortable, beautiful, and peaceful. Melinda felt the pressure in her heart when she looked at Emma and she sighed quietly. In one breathtaking moment, she had fallen in love.

"Melinda, can I ask you something?"

"Of course."

"Are you going to be okay with this?" Emma placed her hand on Melinda's arm.

"I'm certainly okay with seeing you. Are you okay with our seeing each other?"

"I'm more then okay." Emma kissed Melinda softly. "I just don't want to make it uncomfortable for you. I know how important your career is."

"Emma, the only thing I ask is that we keep our relationship private, and outside of the school."

"I can do that. Now, are you going to sit in the kitchen all night?"

Melinda grinned happily at her. "No. What do you have in mind?"

Emma tugged on Melinda's hand until she stood up in Emma's arms. "Several things."

"Maybe we ought to discuss this in the other room." Melinda suggested, leading the way into Emma's bedroom. The night was perfect in every way as they made love slowly, savoring their feelings, and each other's body before drifted off to sleep. They were steeped in passion and the hint of love they were both feeling for each other.

Waking slowly, from a night of lovemaking and very little sleep, Emma turned to find Melinda sound asleep next to her.

"Honey, it's time to get up if you're going to have enough time to get ready for school." Emma kissed Melinda awake. She looked so peaceful sleeping next to Emma that she hated to wake her. Her hair was tousled and waved down to her shoulders, and her hand lay curled next to her head on her pillow. Emma blushed as she looked at the long slender fingers and was reminded of their lovemaking, and what those fingers were capable of.

"I would like to stay right here all day." Melinda stretched against Emma, their naked bodies rubbing deliciously against each other.

"We can do that on Saturday, I promise."

"You promise?" Melinda smiled and kissed Emma passionately.

"Yes. Now, you need to get up, beautiful."

The two of them shared the shower and the bathroom as they dressed and got ready for work. They were very comfortable with each other. Preparing for work was almost as intimate as making love. Emma stood next to Melinda at the mirror while they both applied their makeup. Melinda watched while Emma bundled her hair up into a loose bun and Emma smiled as she stood next to Melinda in the bedroom while they finished getting dressed. The house had been designed for two people and Emma knew that other person was meant to be Melinda.

"I have to go." Melinda hugged Emma one last time. "I'll see you later."

"Yes, you will. Remember, I am picking you up at six. We have dinner reservations at six-thirty."

"I'll remember. Will you stay at my place tonight?"

"I would love to." Emma kissed Melinda gently. "Now go."

Melinda quickly walked to her car and briefly waved before getting in. Emma watched her drive away before shutting her front door. She had one hour to get to school.

Emma's morning proved to be very busy. She'd just sat down after two hours of seventh grade class meetings and career day planning when her telephone rang.

"Hello."

"Well, girlfriend, confess all."

"Tia." Emma chuckled, leaning back in her chair.

"Well?"

"Well what?" Emma tried to keep the happiness out oilier voice.

"Girlfriend, don't even try to lie to me. I know you, Emma."

"So what do you want to know?"

"Emma!"

"The answer is yes."

"It's about time."

"Look who's talking?"

"Well, at least one of us is happy."

"I am, Tia. I really am." Emma glanced around her packed office as she spoke. She loved her work and her students but she had needed something more in her life, and that something more was Melinda.

"I'm glad, doll. Call me later and tell me all about it."

"I will. Can I call you later this weekend? I've got a date tonight."

"Oh ho, this is pretty serious."

"Tia, it is."

"I'm happy for you, honey." Tia could hear the emotion in Emma's voice and knew this was very serious. It worried her a little bit. She didn't want to see Emma to get hurt.

"Thanks, Tia."

"Call me."

"I will."

Emma hung the telephone up and smiled to herself. She was still extremely nervous about her relationship with Melinda. It was all so new and exciting. Just thinking about her night with Melinda made her body heat up with delicious memories. Shaking her head, she checked her calendar. She had a meeting in twenty minutes. Grabbing a quick cup of coffee, she headed out of her office, notebook in hand. As Emma headed down the main hall of the school, she answered the greetings of many of the students. They were everywhere. You could here snatches of conversation as she moved quickly through them. There was so much energy in the young boys and girls, as they teased each other and flirted. Emma fed off their energy and enthusiasm and she grinned at their clothing. There was everything from black grunge to almost high fashion as students tried to express themselves and fit in. She reached the end of the hall and as she went to enter the library for her next meeting, she caught a glimpse of Melinda talking to a group of students. Melinda turned and smiled at Emma and Emma waved at her as she entered the library. She grinned as her heart beat rapidly after just a glimpse of Melinda. She couldn't wait until that evening. They had a date that included dinner and a show. More importantly, they were spending the night together.

Melinda felt the ripple of attraction roll through her body as she tried to concentrate on the students earnestly talking to her. Emma's smile had a way of reaching Melinda's heart. She pushed it away as she tuned back in to the students who were lobbying for another school dance. She grinned while they stated their case rather dramatically. She enjoyed it when students were resourceful.

"Write your arguments down on paper and provide me with some tentative dates. I'll see what I can do."

"Alright, Ms. Newcastle." Melinda chuckled as the students high fived each other, practically ran down the hallway. She loved her job.

"Damn it."

Emma swore as she pulled her ruined nylon from her leg. She was already running late. She had forty minutes to get dressed, refresh her makeup, and get to Melinda's on time. And she hadn't even packed an overnight bag. She hated to be late. Her bedroom was a mess as she tried to finish dressing.

Twenty minutes later, Emma threw her bag in to her car and climbed in. She was going to be about ten minutes late and she was extremely nervous about being with Melinda again. By the time she arrived at Melinda's, her heart was pounding loudly in her chest, her nerves making her tremble. She left her bag in the car and headed toward Melinda's apartment. Knocking on her door, Emma breathed deeply as she smoothed her dress and tried to calm herself, her legs shaking.

"Hello." Melinda's smiling face was the first thing Emma saw. "You look fantastic."

Emma hesitated before going through the open door. They may have slept together but that didn't guarantee that Melinda would place any added value on their relationship. Her confidence stumbled as she stood in front of Melinda.

"You look terrific yourself." Melinda was wearing a simple elegant black dress, which Emma found extremely sexy.

Melinda reached out and clasped Emma's hands in her own. "I can't tell you how hard it was to work today with you right down the hall." she chuckled. "I couldn't get you out of my mind." She tugged Emma into the apartment and closed the door.

Emma bent close to Melinda and kissed her gently. "I know exactly how you feel."

Melinda's arms wrapped around Emma's neck, as she returned the kiss, her body lilting tightly against Emma's. The kiss turned passionate immediately as Emma's mouth devoured Melinda's. It was several minutes before they broke off the kiss to catch their breath.

"Did you bring your things?" Melinda asked Emma nervously. She didn't want to assume anything, but her craving for Emma was huge.

"Yes, my bag is out in my car."

"Good. Now, I think we'd better go to dinner before I talk you into staying here." Melinda teased, kissing Emma softly.

The evening was romantic, fun, and very entertaining as they talked all through dinner and during breaks in the show. What made it the most enjoyable were Melinda's subtle touches and sexy remarks. They held hands in the dark and whispered to each other until they were both impatient to get back to Melinda's apartment. As the lights came on at the end of the show Emma's last whispered remark drew a sigh from Melinda.

"I can't wait to taste you when make love. I want my mouth on you as soon as we get out of here."

"Let's hurry." Melinda's eyes gazed into Emma's. "I want to touch you. I need to love you."

The two of them fought the crowd out to the parking lot as they found the car. Emma efficiently navigated the traffic and they headed home to Melinda's. Melinda's hand rested on Emma's thigh as she drove, driving her crazy with desire. There was very little conversation in the car while they both anticipated the rest of their evening. Parking at the building, Emma grabbed her bag and followed Melinda into the apartment. Emma had barely shut the door before Melinda had her backed up against it, her kisses full and arousing.

"Melinda, I can't go slowly." Emma gasped, dragging the nylons off Melinda's hips and down her legs.

"Don't go slow." Melinda pleaded, her mouth covering Emma's.

Emma's hands rapidly stripped Melinda of her panties and her hand cupped between her legs, as her fingers slipped into the wetness.

"You're perfect." Emma whispered, stroking Melinda, her rhythm slow and teasing. "You're so wet."

Melinda's arms locked around Emma's neck as she reacted to her lovemaking, her knees buckling. Emma's kisses teased her as her exquisite stroking created such a firestorm in Melinda that she could only hold on tightly. Her body was buffeted with a spiraling release that overwhelmed her.

"Emma!" She cried as Emma dropped to her knees and covered the very center of Melinda with her mouth. Emma's tongue alternately teased and stroked as her fingers filled Melinda, pushing her farther toward oblivion. Emma's obvious pleasure could be heard in her moans as her mouth fused with Melinda.

Melinda's body began to tremble and shake, and she began to cry as she dissolved into an orgasm that shattered her composure. Emma's own cry of pleasure brought another burst of trembling as Melinda's body folded against her.

"I can't stand." Melinda gasped as she slid to the floor. Emma's arms cradled her against her body as Melinda buried her face against Emma's, her arms tight around Emma's neck.

"I can't believe I just did that." Melinda's muffled voice could barely be heard.

"Honey, you're beautiful."

"But I..."

"Are fantastic, sexy, and I love how you respond to me."

"Thank you."

"Melinda, look at me, honey." Emma gazed into Melinda's eyes. "I think what happens between us is pure magic. I love touching you, loving you."

Melinda's smile was heavenly to Emma. "It is magical." Her lips slid against Emma's, teasing her, as her hands reached for Emma's zipper on her dress. It wasn't much longer before Emma was shuddering while Melinda loved her from head to toe.

The weekend was perfect, and Melinda and Emma spent every minute of it together. Saturday they shopped together and spent the night at Emma's. After an early dinner both settled on the living room couch, briefcases in hand. They were so at ease with each other that neither felt the need to entertain. Emma's lap was full of paperwork, her legs tucked up, and her feet comfortably under Melinda's hip. Melinda's hand idly stroked Emma's feet as she concentrated on the file in front of her. Emma loved it that Melinda was so comfortable in her home. Melinda glanced at Emma and felt the now familiar ache in her heart.

It was amazing to Melinda that she and Emma were so compatible. She not only found Emma's light-hearted personality very appealing, the sex between the two of them was beyond description. However, it was the simple fact that they could spend Saturday night together working that meant so much more to Melinda. Her career was important to her, and she needed to do well at her new job. Especially after the cloud of doubt that had surrounded her last position.

No matter what anyone said to Melinda, she believed she had made a horrible error in judgment with her relationship with Rita. She would never let anyone interfere with her job again. As long as her relationship with Emma didn't disrupt her career, Melinda wouldn't worry. Besides, she really did care a lot about Emma. She was rapidly filling the emptiness in Melinda's heart. Thankfully, Emma was as dedicated to her career as Melinda. And she understood her intensity because it was so much like her own.

Melinda respected Emma's talent as a counselor, and her loyalty to her students. It was what had attracted Melinda to Emma, her unwavering commitment to her job, and Melinda knew it would be the same for a relationship. Emma would be someone who would love her partner with every fiber of her being. She was an honest and forthright woman, with a huge heart.

"Melinda, honey, wake up. You need to get up if you are going to get to work early." Emma nuzzled Melinda's neck as she spoke, her naked, warm body wrapped around Melinda's. The bed covers were tucked comfortably around the two of them.

"I know." Melinda groaned, her mouth finding Emma's. "Good morning."

Emma grinned as Melinda sat up after sharing a delicious kiss, the sheet sliding down to her waist while Emma's gaze drifted over her lover's generous breasts. "Good morning. You go hop in the shower while I make the coffee."

"Will I see you tonight?"

"Do you want to see me?" Emma held her breath, waiting for Melinda's response.

"I want to see you every night."

Emma's smile warmed Melinda's heart. "Good."

"How about we decide when and where later?"

"Perfect, now, hurry up. You're going to make us both late." Emma stood up to put on her robe.

Melinda's eyes traveled over the beautiful body of her new lover and sighed out loud. "You're so beautiful. But you need to cover up that gorgeous body or both of us will be very late."

"Go." Emma chuckled as she pulled her robe on. "And Melinda?"

"What?" Melinda turned before she entered the bathroom.

"I think you're the beautiful one." Emma's eyes traveled the length of Melinda's naked body.

"Thank you." Melinda blushed as she smiled at Emma. "You make me feel beautiful."

Emma's heart beat loudly in her chest as she left the bedroom. She couldn't pin point the exact moment that she'd fallen in love with Melinda, but she had, hook, line, and sinker. She wasn't ready to tell Melinda how she felt yet. It was too early, and it would change things between them. Besides, she wasn't sure Melinda wanted that kind of relationship. Emma wasn't sure if Melinda wanted anything more than a sexual relationship. And that thought bothered Emma, because she wanted more, much more.

"Have a wonderful day." Melinda hugged Emma tightly as she prepared to leave. "I'll talk to you later."

"Good luck with your meeting." Emma was going to leave a little bit later so they didn't arrive at the same time together. She was going to go to great lengths to hide their relationship.

They shared a soft kiss and then Melinda slipped out of the front door. Emma gathered her things and began her own commute to work. She was feeling so fantastic after her weekend with Melinda that nothing could bother her.
