“Come.”

She turned the lights on dim in the bedroom. Watched Ellie quickly pull off her shoes and unclip the badge and weapon she wore on her belt. A slim dagger in a black calf sheath followed. She flashed her a sheepish smile.

“Sorry. Necessary hardware.”

“Don’t worry. I saw it before and it’s part of the attraction.”

“Oh, yeah? You have a thing for weapons?”

“I appreciate female warriors.”

Ellie struck her as one, definitely. Tough and dangerous on the outside, but thoughtful and sensitive on the inside. Now she looked intent as she came close. Attentive. They eyed each other in silence for several enjoyable seconds. Janet observed a smallvein on the side of her neck throbbing attractively. Ellie’s eyes had turned smoky grey with desire. Lips swollen full of blood, mouth still slightly open and begging to be taken. And she was letting her decide, Janet realized, where to take this encounter. With scarcely a thought but with a lovely frisson of arousal, she pulled her own t-shirt over her head and was rewarded by a soft gasp from Ellie. Janet noticed her pupils widen, and her nipples tightened in reaction.

“Stay where you are,” she instructed in a chuckle, as Ellie seemed ready to charge.

Janet quickly undid the tie on her pants and slid them and her underwear down her legs. She stood, naked and exposed, in front of a woman who was so beautiful that she made her want to cry. Janet was well aware that her body had been changing in recent times. She was still trim, but softer overall than she used to be. Hence why she’d signed up for weight training at the gym and adopted a new, exclusively plant-based diet. Her physician laughed at her bad-tempered grumbles. According to her, Janet was in excellent health and looking better than 99% of all other women out there.

‘What more do you want?’

‘That elusive 1%, of course.’

‘You surgeons are so damn weird.’

Janet only had to count the number of attractive women, of all ages, who had offered to buy her a drink at the bar the other night, before Ellie joined her, to know that she still looked good. And anyway, she was not vain. Performance was what she cared about, both in ocean swimming competitions and when she was operating on a patient’s brain. Right now though, it was only natural for a slight measure of apprehension to slip in with her arousal. Janet seriously cared about what Ellie would think. She stood bravely in front of her, this gorgeous and much younger woman, fully nude and trembling. Feeling amazed…Slightly disgusted at her own reaction, to be honest. But also painfully turned on. And she quickly discovered that her worries were unfounded. Ellie’s smile when she looked at her was full of wonder and awe. Joyful. Incredibly reassuring.

“Wow.” She blew air out. Bit on her bottom lip. Her eyes sparkled and grew dreamy. “Wow… Janet,” she repeated. “You are even more beautiful than I thought.”

Alright, then. Such a sweet, heartfelt comment, took care of her uncertainties. Janet shivered in pleasure under the weight of her gaze as Ellie let it roam. Now all she felt was anticipation and excitement at the thought of being with her.

“Your turn,” she murmured. “Let me.”

“Okay,” Ellie grinned.

Janet stepped forward and started to undress her. She took her time, enjoying every second of discovery. Blue jeans, t-shirt, socks, sports bra, and boxers all landed in an untidy pile in the middle of the floor.

“Wow yourself, Detective.” She nodded in appreciation of her long-limbed and fluidly muscled body.

“Jan.”

“Mmm?”

“Are you going to kiss me again, or what?”

“Oh, I am.” Amused at the impatience and almost pleading note in her tone, Janet gave her a light shove onto the bed. “And not just that.”

Ellie chuckled, allowed herself to tumble, but she did not stay down. She sat up to meet her as Janet followed, welcoming her in her arms as Janet straddled her legs and took her mouth with a passionate kiss. Straight to the point now, giving her what she’d asked for. Ellie kissed her back without restraint. Her skin was incredibly hot. She was already trembling. Janet curled her fingers into her hair in a favorite gesture. She kissed her deeper, possessively, met her tongue for a swirling caress. Ellie moanedsoftly in her mouth. Such an erotic sound, and a powerful trigger for Janet.

“Get on your knees, darling,” she whispered.

She knelt behind her, skin to skin, with one arm around her waist to keep her steady.

“Mmm…” Eyes closed and with a dazed smile on her lips, Ellie reached behind her to caress her thighs. “I like the way you do that… The way you hold me.”

“Good.” Janet trailed her fingertips over her tight stomach, drawing goosebumps over the rest of her body as she teased her way slowly upwards. “Because as I said, I won’t let you off any time soon.”

As Ellie chuckled again, she grazed her teeth along the side of her neck and kissed behind her ear. Her partner was relaxed but Janet could feel her focus, how attentive she was to her every movement. She loved to feel this, to know she had captured her attention so completely. She moved her fingers over small but pleasingly full breasts. Ellie pushed back into her, breathing a bit faster.

“Yeah,” she sighed. “I like this too.”
