INSTALLMENT EIGHT
Sated and saturated, the two lay in quiet surrender wanting nothing more than to languish in contented peace.
Tori ran her finger along the fine hairs on Brett's arm, every now and then kissing the top of Brett's blonde crown. Tori didn't want to break the spell but knew she had to. "So are you going to tell me about this party at your parents this afternoon?" She had been invited but had completely forgotten about it.
Brett looked up at her lover
and sighed, "I'm supposed to be at Mom and Dad's at
Tori was at war with herself also. The thought of not being with Brett was so painful her chest tightened. Lifting Brett's face to meet hers, she lightly rubbed her nose and lips against Brett's. "You know there is nothing I would like better than to spend the day with you and your family. Unfortunately, Ian is coming over tonight to strategize. We're negotiating a big contract tomorrow and it's essential that we be on the same page." Tori wrapped her arms tighter around Brett, not wanting to break their connection just yet. "This weekend has been the most wonderful experience I have ever had. Although it's breaking my heart to let you go, this weekend is only the beginning. I plan on spending lots and lots of time with you." With that, the two childhood friends lost themselves in a heartfelt embrace knowing after all was said, it truly was just the beginning for them.
Brett tucked her head under Tori's chin and let out a sigh of contentment and frustration. "I know baby but the thought of being without you, even for a minute, is just so painful. I know that you and I have always shared a bond. Somehow, it just feels stronger. It's like my heart and soul depends on you...... craves you. I can't imagine a moment without you. Do you know what I mean?"
Tori thought about what Brett was saying. That's exactly how I feel. "I know honey, I feel it too. But what can I do? It's already almost one and you're folks are going to be really upset if you don't make an appearance."
"I know they will, especially
since Grandma and Grandpa Montgomery are here from
"Grammy and Grampy M are here. Wow I haven't seen them in years. I always loved them. Especially Grammy. What a character." Tori laughed remembering Brett's grandmother.
"They would really love to see you. Oh honey, isn't there anything you can do? I don't want this weekend to end just yet." Brett's eyes were filling with tears and she knew she was being a little clingy but she really didn't want to be away from Tori.
The look on Brett's face broke
Tori's heart and there was nothing she wouldn't do to put a smile back on
Brett's face. "Let me give Ian a call. Maybe I can go over to your parent's
for a few hours and then meet Ian at our house in the
"Hey Ian...Whoa, what was that?" Tori heard a screeching yell in the background from Marcus, along with a wail from the baby and a frustrated roar from Pamela. Ian sounded frazzled and Tori knew it was definitely a bad time.
"Oh Tori...listen this really isn't a good time. I just told Pam about our meeting tonight and it hit the fan. I've really got to go...I'll see you tonight." He was just about to hang up when he heard his sister.
"Wait... Ian wait...Look. I
have to go to the
"Oh sis, I owe you one. I can't
tell you how much that helps me out. I thought I was going to have to sleep
in the guestroom tonight. All right it's
"No. All the preliminary stuff is worked out. It's just a matter of presenting a united front. Do you know if Dad is sitting in tomorrow?"
"Yeah he is. But he wants to
stay in the background. He's leaving everything up to us. You know he mentioned
he was going over to Uncle Gordon's. You'll see him there. We'd go too, but
the baby's really been at it." Ian was a great dad but sometimes the pull
between his family and business was a little hard to balance. Overall he did
a great job. But there were times when one or the other suffered. "
"No that's fine, I'm a bit of a night owl and a early riser kinda gal. Don't ask me to explain that. It's just the way it is. Listen I've got to go. I'll see you later." Tori hung up and immediately tried to concentrate on making another call. While she had been talking to her brother, Brett had decided to save time and start to change. She watched Brett look through her drawers and pull out a sweater and panties that she could wear. Allowing the towel to fall haplessly to the floor, Brett began to get dressed. Tori watched absolutely mesmerized as Brett slowly put on piece by piece. Tori licked her lips watching Brett finish and make her way back to Tori by the bed. Tori took Brett's hand and brushing her lips against her knuckles while she waited for Gibeau to pickup. Feeling totally lost in the scent of Brett, she didn't realize the party on the phone had pickup.
"Hello ...Hello can I help you?...Hello is anyone there?" Gibeau could hear someone breathing.
"Ah...Oh ...Um...Hey Gi, It's
Tori. I hate to bother you buddy, but Brett and I have to go to the
Brett had a look of absolute love on her face. She never thought she would ever have Tori back in her life again. But here Tori was watching her get dressed and putting her needs first again. It made Brett feel like all her dreams were handed to her in this one beautiful woman.
"Everything's set." Tori smiled and nodded affirmatively.
"Well let me call my folks and tell them we're on our way...." Brett was about to reach over and grab the telephone when a long slender hand stopped her. "You know Brett.....that sweater looks great on you." It was a wool cable knit cream-colored turtleneck sweater and Brett wore it over her jeans. With a light smattering of make up and her blond locks brushed back behind one of her ears, Brett was a perfect image of a wholesome cover girl. "You look absolutely beautiful. It will be very hard to keep my hands and eyes off you. Especially when I know you're wearing my panties. I can't tell you what the thought of that is doing to me." She took Brett in her arms and ran her hands down Brett's well-formed buttocks.
"Mmm...well I can't tell you what the feeling of wearing your panties is doing to me. I guess you'll have to wait until I give them back to you later on." Brett saw Tori swallow and watched as a look of unbridled lust graced her face. Knowing this would set off another round of wanton discovery, Brett thought it best if she ran for the door at that moment.
Tori's libido was throbbing
out of control and her heart was racing a mile a minute. Oh boy Tori. She
sure has your number. You had better make sure you take your vitamins cause
you are definitely going to need them. Tori watched Brett run off.
Oh you can run but you can't hide baby. Tori grabbed a pair of 501s and
a Black turtleneck sweater similar to the one Brett had on and slipped on
a pair of loafers. Looking through her closet, she grabbed her gray pea coat
and a garment bag with a suit and shoes for tomorrow's meeting. Everything
else she would need she had at the house and office. Looking in the mirror,
she ran a brush through her hair and freshened up her make up. O yes. Happiness
sure looks good on you. She grabbed her things and met Brett at the elevator.
It was now
