Alexis responded by raising her hips urging CeCe lower. “I love you,” Alexis continued to whisper between moans and gasps.
CeCe inhaled deeply the scents of love emanating from them both. She peeked upward to catch a glimpse of her lover’s euphoric face, but Alexis captured her gaze with the most sensual brown eyes full of love for her.
CeCe paused for a moment to answer Alexis's stare with her own intense look. She felt Alexis brush a strand of her hair from her face then they both slightly smiled. A moment later CeCe was running her tongue through the wettest, most luscious folds.
Alexis was a gorgeous woman, but when she groaned with delight and urgency from a touch with CeCe’s magical tongue she was beyond beautiful. CeCe loved how Alexis expressed herself with movement, touches, and sounds. They had never been tentative when it came to their bodies and CeCe was able to express her love openly and freely.
Now they both knew it wasn’t just sex, and honestly it had been like that for some time. But today it was pure, open, exposed love.
CeCe ran her hands under Alexis's hips so Alexis's legs were on her shoulders. She caressed, kissed, and licked with her tongue until Alexis writhed underneath her. Then CeCe ran her hands around and held onto Alexis as she began to push with her shoulders and sucked Alexis into her mouth. They couldn’t get close enough.
CeCe could feel Alexis's fingers in her hair as they tightened into a fist. She heard Alexis pound the bed with her other hand and shout, “Good God! I love you, CeCe!”
She held Alexis firm with both her hands and let her tongue lavish her clit as she sucked even harder.
The sound that came out of Alexis was the most bliss-filled moan CeCe had ever heard. It was like the most beautiful symphony, her favorite melody, and a heart piercing affirmation of love all rolled into one harmony only they could comprehend.
CeCe eased Alexis back down onto the bed and took a deep breath to enjoy the moment. Then she looked up to see Alexis, her half-dry dark hair fanned over the pillow. She took in this glorious sight as her eyes gazed at Alexis's parted luscious lips, her perfect nose, then rested on those dark brown eyes once again.
“I gave all I am to you,” Alexis said softly with tears in her eyes.
CeCe nodded. “I’ve got you. I promise, you can trust me, Lex.”
Alexis gave her the most beautiful smile. “I know.” She reached up and cupped the side of CeCe’s face with one hand.
“I love you, baby,” CeCe murmured, sinking into Alexis's hand.
Alexis smiled, raised up and pushed CeCe onto her back. “I love you, Cecilia, and you’re going to know it in every touch, every kiss, and every word.”
CeCe smiled and opened her heart and her body. She wanted all of Alexis's love.

It had been a couple of months since CeCe’s accident. She had a new SUV, there were no lasting effects from the concussion, and she’d welcomed several new clients from the hospital and even a couple of Alexis's friends.
They had been to two more of Michael and Lana’s little get-togethers and CeCe was welcomed like she’d been there all along.
One evening she and Alexis were enjoying an ice cream cone on their bench, that’s what they called it, at the diner next to the salon.
“I know it’s boring, but vanilla is my favorite,” Alexis said, taking another lick around the ice cream on her cone.
CeCe chuckled. “There is nothing boring about you, my love. Including your ice cream preference.”
Alexis giggled. That little sound had become one of CeCe’s favorites.
“Hey, babe. Have you noticed it has been over a month since we’ve stayed at your house?”
Alexis continued to lick her ice cream and shrugged. “I guess it has been a while.”
“It leads me to the question: why do we have two houses?”
“Hmm, I don’t know. I’ll sell mine,” Alexis said matter-of-factly.
“Whoa! Don’t you like your house?”
“Not necessarily. I told you a long time ago it’s just a house. Your place is home.” She looked over at CeCe. “Our home.”
CeCe smiled. “Are you sure? We could buy another house.”
