Page 61 of Rookie Days

The words made Ellie’s heart pound and her desire surge. She clasped the back of Janet’s neck and tumbled with her onto the pillows. Lips sealed, tongues questing, she slid one leg inbetween hers, pinning her down with the weight of her body. She found her slick and hot, beautifully aroused.

“Just from touching me?” she whispered, smiling.

“You have no idea what you do to me,” Janet groaned.

Maybe not, but Ellie was getting there fast. Matching each other’s fevered caresses, locked in a tight, steamy embrace, they pushed together to the edge. And right over.

???

Around midnight was time to pick up where they’d left off.

“Pizza always tastes so much better after a round of sex,” Janet reflected in amusement.

They sat at the breakfast bar in the kitchen with the open box in between them.

“Does it?” Ellie arched an eyebrow. “I wouldn’t know.”

Janet eyed her with a thoughtful smile. Dressed only in her boxers and a borrowed t-shirt, with her jet-black hair attractively tousled, and a relaxed air about her, the police detective looked unlawfully beautiful. She made Janet want to stare, openly and unashamedly.

“You can’t be as much of a rookie as you claim to be,” she said, allowing her eyes to roam. “I don’t believe it, Ellie, not after what we just shared.”

“Thank you.” Ellie nodded politely, took a bite of her pizza, and flashed a sexy grin. “But you’re a wonderful teacher, and I tend to learn super-fast when I am interested.”

“Interested, uh?”

“Fascinated is a better word, actually.”

“Well.” Janet suppressed a shiver at a memory of Ellie lying between her legs earlier, and smirking in this exact same way. Her lips had been wet, then… “You sure do learn fast.”

“I guess I just need lots of practice.”

“That won’t be a problem.”

“Also, what we shared was more than a casual round of sex to me.”

Catching a sudden flicker of unease in her eyes, Janet got up and moved to the other side of the counter. Being in the same room as Ellie and not touching her, she realized, was too much of a challenge.

“Yes, and for me as well.” She rested a hand on her naked thigh, enjoyed the quick tightening of muscle under her palm. “I didn’t mean to say I feel casual about it. But you know what?”

“What?”

“You kinda took away my eloquence on the third orgasm.”

“Ha!” Those dazzling grey eyes cleared. “Okay then, guess I’ll forgive you this time.”

Janet thought she had made herself clear on the subject, but a reminder might not hurt, and she wanted to be crystal on this one.

“Just so you know, darling, tonight was incredibly special for me. I’ve never asked anyone home before.”

This used to be her rule. Janet had fun with many different partners in lots of different places; but she had never wanted to make love to a woman inside of her own home. Her own bed. She wanted, needed, Ellie to know this now. She watched her go still and pensive as she digested the info. Then, Ellie leaned over and kissed her gently on the mouth.

“Thank you. I like having been your first.”

Janet resisted the impulse to answer with a crazy statement. Something along the lines of,‘There won’t be a second’.Amazed at the insanity, she opted for something less irrational, though still intense. Then again, it was the truth. “I’d like you to stay tonight. You don’t have to, of course, but—”

“I want to,” Ellie interrupted with sparkling eyes. “I really want to, Jan.”

They finished eating, enjoyed a long, intimate shower, and went to bed. Janet was stunned at how easy and natural this all was. Ellie felt like she belonged here, in her private space.With me…It seemed effortless on both sides. They fell asleep in each other’s arms and nothing had ever felt so right. She came out of sleep a few hours later, instantly alert from years of practice being on call at the hospital, with the sense that something was wrong. It was darker in the room. Everything was quiet. Ellie rested with her head in the crook of her shoulder and her right arm slung across her waist. Before, she’d been relaxed, and Janet had loved to feel the weight of her body pressed tightly against hers. Now, Ellie was twitching in her sleep. Clinging to her and mumbling under her breath.
