Wasn’t that the point?
Kerry leaned back in her chair, then turned from her monitor to gaze out over the
blue-green water. The afternoon clouds were scattered and seemed to make the horizon even
larger. She sighed and counted her blessings that most everywhere in Miami was air
conditioned. The intensity of the glare from the reflected sunlight glanced off the
polarized windows of her office. June in Miami. Her phone buzzed and she picked it up with
a weary sigh, expecting another urgent demand that she fix something that some idiot or
act of God had seen fit to fold, spindle or mutilate.
“Stuart, Operations.” and was met with the voice she most wanted to hear. A
smile smoothed her tired brow as she heard Dar ask her how she was. “Better now.
Where are you?”
“Still in Singapore, Ker. Sorry. They’ve scheduled one more meeting for tomorrow
that I really need to attend, then they can screw themselves cause I’m coming
home.” Kerry could imagine the determined look on her lover’s face and if she
hadn’t been so disappointed she would have laughed.
“Well, don’t spit on the sidewalk or do anything dumb that will make me have to
send a rescue team after you” she teased, then softly she confessed, “I want you
here, I miss you.”
She could hear Dar’s breathing in the pause, then the soft answer, “I miss you
too, Kerry, as a matter of fact.......” her voice trailed off with a teasing tone.
Kerry was perplexed for a moment, then realized that Dar was talking about the
“heated” phone conversation they had had 2 days ago. She flushed crimson and
teased back, “I’m at work, you degenerate.”
“Ah, but I’m your degenerate Ms. Stuart.” Dar answered, then adding silk to
her voice, “And I’m lying on my back in a hot hotel room in an exotic country
wishing you were here beside me.”
“Don’t start with me, Dar. I won’t know when to ping and when to pong.
NOT-EDS will come crashing down around my ears, which are now very red from the things you
are making me think about.”
Dar laughed deeply, “Well you let me know if you pong anybody, Kerry.” She had
mercy on her lover and acting operations VP, “Anything going on at work I need to
know about?”
“Nope, just your run-of-the-mill crashed servers, lightening strikes, and general
screaming. Nothing out of the ordinary.”
“Which means you’ve got it handled and I shouldn’t worry. Ok. You going out
with Colleen tonight??”
“Maybe. It’s just so hot. All I want to do is sit in air conditioned rooms and
drink iced tea.”
“Hmm,” Dar decided to turn the heat back on, “or you could lie in a cool
bath, which is where I’m headed now. Think of me, love.”
“Arrrggghh, Dar, I’ll get you for that.” Now not able to think of anything
but her lover naked in water, eyes closed enjoying the sight. Sigh. “Come home,”
she half pleaded.
“I’ll be there tomorrow, and I’ll let you show me that pong thing.”
she laughed.
“I’ll pong you alright. Night love.”
Even the short walk from the lobby to the car was enough in the hot sticky air to make her
clothes cling to her body and cover her in a fine sheen of sweat. She started stripping
off layers on the way to the car, took down the top on her mustang and eased out into
traffic. She hoped the night air would have a cooling effect on her body if not her
libido. Gods, she thought, she’s been gone 4 days and I’m back to
feeling like a cat in heat. She just reaches inside me and touches something so, so
primal. Her face reddened, but she was enjoying her thoughts of Dar. Everything
reminds me of her. The scent of the leather in her car, the caress of the wind on her
face... Abruptly, she slammed on the brakes, having lost herself in her thoughts and not
seeing the slowed traffic. Damn. Get a grip, Kerrison.
Colleen had convinced her that a night out would take her mind off Dar. She’d wanted
to answer “Fat chance of that,” but kept her mouth shut and was driving now to
meet Colleen out on the water’s edge for dinner.
It was easy to spot the red-head, seated at an outside table overlooking the boats docked
in the marina. There were familiar sounds of sails slapping and tack clanking in the
heavenly breeze, that mercifully stirred the air making the humidity bearable.
They’d greeted each other and settled in. The waitress had brought them their drinks
right away and Kerry was sipping hers as she leaned her head back and breathed in the
night air. She heard Colleen humming a familiar song and tapping out a rhythm on the
table. She opened her eyes to see Colleen staring at her about to burst out laughing. She
realized that the song her teasing friend was humming was a kd lang tune, Constant
Cravings. She narrowed her eyes at Colleen and Coll started to giggle, “I’m
sorry Kerry, you just have it bad. What can I say?”
Embarrassed, Kerry stared at the condensation on the outside of her iced tea, running her
thumb over the drips. Sheepishly she looked up, “I guess I do. I can’t stand for
her to be out of my sight for 4 minutes sometimes, much less 4 days. I’m sorry, Coll,
I’m, um, just a little preoccupied.”
Colleen hooted, “Preoccupied, preoccupied, that’s what were calling it now, eh?
Geez, I would have just called it old-fashioned horny!”
Kerry laughed at her friends frankness. She was still embarrassed enough to be blushing,
but said, “I have found that lust is not dignified or pretty...... but it is
beautiful. At least it is with her.”
“Details, Kerry, details!!” her friend taunted.
Kerry was not one to lose a battle of words so she replied in her best imitation brogue
(which wasn’t very good), “And Colleen Marie McNamara will you be givin’ me
all the sordid details of your sex life as well??”
Colleen threw back her head and laughed.
Kerry opened the door to the condo to the sounds of Chino’s greeting yips. She
dropped her briefcase and suit jacket and knelt down to hug the 8 month old
“pup” that was already the size of a house. Well, a small house. Chino threw
herself on her back so Kerry could get all her favourite spots as she crooned endearments
to her. Chino then hopped up and down next to Kerry as they made there way into the
kitchen where she was given a treat, having been fed by the staff earlier in the evening.
Kerry and Colleen had passed the sultry evening in friendly banter. Kerry having to bring
herself back to the conversation repeatedly as she kept drifting off as things ignited her
memory. The boats made her think of Dar relaxed, laughing, playful, hungry after diving
and making love in the cabin as they were rocked by the waves. The ice in her glass made
her think of Dar “cooling her off” or that’s how it had started, as Dar had
traced patterns over her body with an ice cube the night before she left. The ice cube had
been followed by a very warm tongue, so “cooling off” had really had very little
to do with it. This sensual longing was a delicious torture really. Gods, the heat just
made her so damn aware of her body.
She shook herself out of it and went upstairs to her room, where she stripped off her
skirt and blouse. She stepped into her bathroom and turned on the shower, leaning her head
against the glass doors while she waited for the water to warm. The scent of the soaps in
the warm water drew her into thinking about showering together and she stepped into the
shower to join her imagined lover. As the water hit her, she realized she was still
wearing her slip. She half laughed, but leaned her hands against the wall and let the
water course over her. In her state of mind it was not hard for her to imagine it was
Dar’s touch that slowly pulled down the straps of her slip and then slid it off of
her, allowing the water to hit her more directly. The rest of her clothes followed, and
after a few indulgent sensual moments remembering, she wrung them out and hung them over
the top of the glass doors.
Wrapped in a towel, she padded over to her bed. She’d been sleeping here while Dar
was gone. She liked the view of the ocean when she woke up and they’d made love up
here before Dar left, leaving her scent on the sheets. It was a small comfort. Restless
she opened the sliding glass doors and stepped out onto the balcony. The sound of the
waves greeted her. She looked East and saw flashes of lightening in the dark sky. Dar
would be up now, finish her business and head home. Probably be here by this time
tomorrow. She sent her love out across the night and went to bed, leaving the doors open
to let in the sound and night breeze. She hoped the waves would lull her to sleep.
Predictably, she dreamed of Dar. She dreamed her spicy scent and the gentle touch of her
fingers brushing back her bangs. She rolled toward her phantom lover, enjoying the feel of
the soft sheets against her bare heated skin. A breeze from the open doorway blew across
her and felt like the feathered touch of Dar’s hair and then the softest taste of her
kiss. She moaned in her sleep and pulled a pillow into her embrace. The pillow hugged her
back. Kerry’s eyes opened to early morning light and sparkling blue eyes, as she
found herself in Dar’s arms. “I wasn’t dreaming? You’re really
here??” Dar nodded as Kerry buried her head against her chest and hugged her
fiercely. “I can’t believe you’re really here. How, how did you get here
Dar?” Moist green eyes looked up at the amused face of her lover.
“Early meeting, company jet, tail wind.” and she kissed her delaying any further explanations. Kerry moaned at having her dream come true. She gently stroked Dar’s face, not quite believing she was real. “I missed you so much. Everything made me think of you.” She kissed Dar’s jaw and neck. “I missed feeling connected with you, I missed talking with you,” each statement punctuated by a path of kisses that led to her ear. Kerry sucked in an earlobe and caressed it with her tongue and whispered, “And each of those thoughts made me want to touch you,” she said as her hand slid down her lovers body and then back up to gently caress her breast, “and kiss you,” as she nibbled on a lip and then kissed her deeply, increasing the full length connection of their bodies and sighing at the delicious contact, “and taste you.”
Dar slid a thigh between her legs and ran her hands down her back til she was pulling her
hips against her. Already their bodies were slick from the close contact and humid
weather, “It’s the heat. You get like this in the heat.....oh yesssss” she
hissed as Kerry made her glad to be home. “And I thank the gods, ugh... we live in a
warm climate.”
