Dawn eyed the tall, dark woman from across the room. Despite the fact that the gloominess of the room cast the woman mostly in silhouette, Dawn liked what she saw. She also liked the fact that the woman seemed to be eyeing her in return.
Dawn picked up her strawberry soda and slowly began to walk through the maze of people, some chatting, some dancing to the music that was playing. She had been reluctant to attend the 25-year class reunion of the small private New England school she’d attended from ages 16-18, but decided in the end that she had nothing to lose by doing so. And so there she was, pleased to see some of the people she once knew, even if she hadn’t been very fond of some of them. She had been curious to learn how their lives had turned out. Not surprisingly, some were doing well, some weren’t.
The dark-haired woman was moving toward her, casually striding in her direction and it definitely didn’t seem to be a random act. She was deliberately aiming for her and quickening her heartbeat while she was at it! Dawn studied the woman as she neared her, trying to make out who she could be. A moment later she was close enough to see the dark, penetrating eyes, alert with an air of intelligence behind them.
“Dawn? Dawn Lee, is that really you?”
Dawn nodded, still not sure who the woman was.
“You look beautiful. How’ve you been all this time?”
Jamie!
“Oh my God, Jamie Delgado!”
“Yeah, that’s me.”
“You got tall.”
“You stayed short.”
They laughed as if it was a funny joke.
“So how ya doin’?” Dawn asked.
“I’m fine. How about you?”
“Great. Whatcha doin’ these days?” Jamie asked.
“A variety of things. You could say I went from singing and dancing to writing and winning sweepstakes. And you?”
“I’m a cop.”
“Oh really?” Dawn asked, apparently impressed.
“A private detective, actually.”
“You look like you could be a cop,” Dawn said with a nod of approval.
Jamie laughed. “So you remember me?”
Dawn nodded again. “I sure do. I’m just surprised you remember me.”
“Why wouldn’t I? I had a huge crush on you.”
Dawn blinked with surprise. “Really? I had no idea! I mean, I figured you were gay. After all, you do have that look, not to offend you or anything.”
Jamie smiled assuringly and said, “I’m not at all offended. I don’t mind looking like a butch.”
“Wow, 26 years later I learn that Jamie Delgado of all people had a crush on me! I’m both shocked and flattered. But being as feminine as I am, how did you know that I was gay, too?”
“I didn’t.”
“Well, I guess you do now. And you grew up to be one fine-looking hottie, too.”
Jamie grinned widely, exposing a beautiful white smile. “I can say the same thing for you, too. You’re sexy as hell. I love your long brown hair and you have such beautiful eyes.”
Dawn felt herself blush. “So are you in a relationship?”
“No, not right now. Karma’s biting me in the ass lately.”
“What do you mean?”
“For foolishly squandering a nice relationship with a nice woman just so I could whore around. But now that I’m older and have gotten that out of my system and would like to settle down, there’s no one around.”
“You never know,” Dawn said, “as kind and as good-looking as you are, I may follow you around like a puppy if you don’t watch out.”
“I’d be honored if you did.”
The music switched from an upbeat song to a slow, romantic ballad.
“Shall we?” Jamie asked arms extended.
Dawn nodded, put her drink down, and let Jamie guide her onto the dance floor. They held each other as they gently swayed to the music. The rest of the people disappeared as they became lost in one another. It felt so right being in each other’s arms and when Jamie offered to take Dawn home with her that night, she couldn’t have objected if she wanted to.
They reminisced about old times and caught up on the present during the ride to Jamie’s house.
“You were always so kind to me,” Jamie recalled.
“Hey, an officer and a gentle lady,” Dawn joked, getting a chuckle out of Jamie.
Jamie owned a modest little house on a 10-acre parcel of land. She was afraid Dawn would be scared to be out in the boonies, yet that concern quickly turned to delight when Dawn commented on how much she loved the country.
“Rural living beats city life any day,” Dawn said.
“I’m glad to hear you think so, too,” Jamie said, stopping the jeep in front of the house.
“What a cute little house you have.”
“Yeah, it’s ok. Not too small, not too big.”
They entered the cozy, well-kept home that was neat and nicely decorated, and Jamie offered Dawn a drink.
“No, thanks, I’m fine,” Dawn said as she studied the way the light shone upon Jamie’s shiny black hair. She had aged well and had a hell of a body.
“You know I want to fuck your brains out, don’t you, sweet stuff?” Jamie suddenly said.
Dawn nodded. “Do you believe in love at first sight?”
Jamie turned her warm chocolate eyes and locked her gaze with Dawn’s emerald green ones. “I do now.”
Dawn smiled.
Jamie swept Dawn off her feet in an instant, impressing her with her strength, and carried her into the bedroom where she threw her on the bed. The two undressed each other in a heated frenzy, their need growing with every passing second.
With Dawn’s floral sundress and Jamie’s jeans and burgundy top on the floor, they eyed each other’s toned, taut bodies hungrily. Jamie felt a sense of love and lust stirring within her that she hadn’t felt for a long time. Dawn’s own longing to be fulfilled by the hot, capable woman before her who made her feel safe in every sense of the word, grew stronger.
Jamie removed her blue bra and panties and yanked Dawn’s pink ones off so fast she was surprised they didn’t tear. Then, with a skill and expertise that both amazed and delighted Dawn, she kissed her passionately on the lips, tasting her pink rosy lips.
Dawn’s pussy was wet with a fire that was now crying to be extinguished and then rekindled again not much later.
Jamie’s sensual tongue slid down to her full breasts as her hands roamed and explored other peaks and valleys. Her touch was firm yet gentle.
Dawn’s nipples hardened and her arms and legs wrapped around Jamie’s strong body as she moaned in delight, now just moments away from climaxing.
Jamie pulled back from Dawn a bit so her tongue could drop even lower. Instinctively, Dawn’s legs spread wide. She nearly shouted with joy as Jamie’s tongue found her most sensitive area. “Faster!” she urged.
Jamie’s tongue flicked her clitty as fast as it could at the same time she slipped a finger inside Dawn’s tight, wet pussy. Dawn could tell that Jamie was just as close to cumming by the way her movements became more frantic, her breathing more rapid.
They shuddered a moment later as orgasms rippled throughout their bodies, sending wave after wave of pleasure throughout them. A moment later Jamie collapsed alongside Dawn. It took them a few minutes to catch their breath.
“I love you, Dawn Lee,” said Jamie.
Dawn eyed Jamie intently, eyes misty with emotion. “I love you, too.”
Finally, Jamie said, “If I asked you to marry me, would you think I was crazy?”
“Yes,” said Dawn. “And if I said yes, would you think I was crazy?”
“Yes,” said Jamie.
The two women burst out laughing and then fell fast asleep in each other’s arms.
