tongue. Jameson finally stopped. Candace was still quivering and Jameson moved to take her lover into an embrace. “Shh,” she whispered, kissing Candace’s head as Candace folded herself into Jameson. “I just missed you so much,” Jameson said. Candace didn’t answer. “Are you okay?” Jameson asked. Candace was trying to calm the rapid beat of her heart and catch her breath. She didn’t know how to tell Jameson that she was still reeling from the ripples of pleasure that had not fully subsided. “Candace?” Jameson asked again. Candace was shaking in her arms. “Just hold me,” Candace said. Jameson pulled Candace closer. “I don’t want to do that again.” Jameson was alarmed. “Be apart for that long,” Candace clarified. Jameson let out a nervous sigh. Candace finally moved to look at her. “Oh no…you thought I meant,” Candace stopped and kissed Jameson. “Sweetheart, you can wake me up that way whenever you want,” she said. “Unless I have to go to work.” Jameson was confused. Candace chuckled. “I just woke up and I need a nap,” she laughed. Jameson smiled. She would be happy to hold Candace, but she was feeling more aroused than spent. “Oh,” Candace said as realization dawned. She raised an eyebrow. “Not sleepy?” she asked. “I’m fine,” Jameson said unconvincingly. She startled at the feel of Candace’s hand removing her shorts. Candace bit her lip to quell another wave of tremors when she was finally able to feel Jameson’s arousal. “I see,” she said. Jameson’s breathing had become rapid and shallow. Candace stroked Jameson tenderly. The warm wetness beneath her hand was intoxicating. She kissed Jameson and then looked in her eyes. Candace moved to her back and pulled Jameson over her. “Come here.” Jameson’s heart began to pound furiously as Candace gently guided her. She felt Candace hold her hips and sighed when she settled above her lover. Candace groaned in excitement at the first taste of Jameson. “Perfect,” she said as she explored every inch of the softness that was Jameson. She heard Jameson’s frantic sighs . Even after all their months together, Jameson’s boldness faded when Candace made love to her. It only made Candace love her more; the raw vulnerability in Jameson that made itself known in these moments. Candace drew lazy circles around Jameson with her tongue. “Candace,” Jameson urged softly. Candace could feel the frustration in Jameson’s movements. She reached up and fondled Jameson’s breasts until she heard Jameson begin to faintly moan above her. She sucked gently and then moved her tongue up and down Jameson with hard, deliberate strokes. It was only a few seconds before she felt Jameson’s legs begin to shake. Wave after wave pounded over and through Jameson. She felt as if she were caught in an undertow. She would surface for a brief second, only to be held under again as the waves crashed over her. She pulled away, fearing that if it continued she would no longer be able to support her own weight. “I’m sorry,” she apologized as she crawled up beside Candace. “What are you sorry for?” Candace asked, stroking Jameson’s hair. “I just…you are amazing, you know that?” “I love you,” Candace gave as her explanation. Jameson held onto Candace and breathed her in. “Tired?” Candace asked. Jameson was already asleep. “See what I mean?” Candace chuckled. “Good thing we don’t work until Monday.”
CHAPTER THREE Jameson walked into the kitchen. Candace was at the counter making coffee and Jameson snuck up behind her to cuddle close. Candace closed her eyes and leaned back into Jameson’s arms. “Good morning,” Jameson whispered in Candace’s ear. “Yes, it is,” Candace said. Jameson was nuzzling her neck and Candace sighed. “Jameson,” she giggled. “What?” “Are you trying to send me to an early grave?” she asked. “Why? Is your heart beating faster or
