Destiny chuckled. “Gloria can’t hurt us. That’s what you told me when we walked out of that conference room. I’m not going to waste any of my energy even thinking about her when I can spend it doing things I love,” she said. “Like taking a shower with you.”

Faith gave Destiny the biggest smile. Gloria might still try to make things hard for them, but she also had a lot of yellow bell shrubs to do something with and that wouldn’t be easy.

She pulled up to the tiny house and took Destiny’s hand as she walked around the truck.

“I hope that’s the last problem we have to solve today,” Destiny said.

Faith opened the front door pulling Destiny through it. “Your only problem is deciding what you want to have for dinner.” She captured Destiny’s lips in a hungry kiss as she pulled her shirt over her head.

“Who needs dinner,” Destiny mumbled, taking her sports bra off and shimmying out of her shorts.

Faith laughed, undressing as she walked through the kitchen to the bathroom. She reached into the shower and turned the water on, letting it warm up. Destiny’s arms wrapped around Faith from behind. Faith moaned, leaning back against her. “Be careful where your lips touch me. All you’ll taste is dirt and sweat.”

“I don’t care,” Destiny said, pushing them under the water.

Faith turned in Destiny’s arms and kissed her with passion and desire. How quickly Destiny could light a fire inside her. “I love you,” she said breathlessly.

Faith reached for the body wash and poured a generous amount in her hand. She rubbed her hands together and placed them on Destiny’s shoulders. Her hands slid down Destiny’s arms then back up and around her neck. She smiled and looked into Destiny’s eyes. They were dark with desire, but were also shining with love.

Faith ran her hands down Destiny’s chest and cupped her breasts. Her nipples were already hard and Faith gave them a gentle pinch.

“You look at my body with such wonder,” Destiny said. “Can you see how much I love and want your touch?”

“Can you feel how much I love you in each touch?” Faith knew the answer to her question and let her hand slide lower until she cupped Destiny’s sex.

Destiny moaned and widened her legs as she leaned against the shower wall.

Faith slowly ran her fingers through Destiny’s slick folds, keeping her eyes on Destiny’s.

“Babe,” Destiny moaned, her eyes fluttering closed.

Faith slowly pushed one finger then another inside Destiny and felt her muscles almost relax with relief. Destiny’s hands were on her shoulders holding on and Faith wasn’t about to make her wait.

She began a slow rhythm to the music of Destiny’s moans. Faith could feel Destiny’s fingers squeezing her shoulders as she got closer to the edge. “Let me see your beautiful eyes, babe,” Faith whispered. She wanted Destiny to see her love as the orgasm swept through her body.

Faith pushed in deeper one more time and curled her fingers. She saw the flash of pleasure light up Destiny’s eyes as her fingers dug into Faith’s shoulders.

“Good God, babe,” Destiny groaned, resting her head against the shower wall.

Faith kissed Destiny’s neck and giggled. “Oh, how I love to hear you make that sound.”

“Mmm,” Destiny mumbled. “It’s my heart talking to you.”

Faith pulled back and kissed Destiny softly. Their hearts had been talking all along. That’s why they were together now and would be from now on.

Faith and Destiny had split up that morning, each meeting with their own customers. They planned to go rock hunting this afternoon. Anytime they came across a rock that would be suitable for their purpose in the rock garden they grabbed it. But now they needed flat smaller rocks that could be stacked in creative formations.

The landscaping around the main building was almost complete and the garden with the fountain only needed mulch added to the flower bed floor. Everything was coming together.

Faith was on her way back from the Hutto housing development to pick up Destiny when a For Sale sign caught her eye. It was in front of a commercial building with a fenced area around the perimeter. She quickly exited the highway and pulled into the parking lot in front of the building.

“This might work,” she mumbled. She pulled up to the sign and took a picture so she’d have the contact information for the realtor, then continued on her way.

“Hi, honey.” Destiny greeted Faith as soon as she walked into the office.

Faith smiled, leaned up, and kissed Destiny on the lips. “Hey, babe.”
