Part VII: Hearts on Fire
Days passed and Jessie finally made her return. She neither gave Katie a look or a friendly "hi." It was utterly hurting the blonde but she had to go through it. She couldn't face Katie and tell her she lost her courage and was still very much engaged. There were a few nights she would hear Katie playing the Billie Holiday songs the brunette had introduced. These were nights Jessie would just curl like a ball on her sofa in sadness. The feelings were strong, but her determination was futile.
Whenever Jessie found herself in bed, thoughts of the brunette's warm hands touching her, caressing her, made her shiver through her spine. The longings and the desire are things that she should be setting aside because of her current status. She can't imagine these thoughts since it would mean her unfaithfulness to her future husband.
But of course in truth, Jessie was just stopping herself. Though it would seem an inappropriate thing for a woman of her stature to do, Jessica Sammler was willing to throw it all away just to be with Katie Singer.
It just so happens, Jessica Sammler worries about what people say too.
It's one of the big reasons why she was on her bed, alone and not getting it on with Katie next door.
Oh well.
----
Katie saw Jessie arrived that day the blonde got back but knew everything was over. Katie saw the engagement ring still on the blonde's finger. It hurt, but to Katie, it was not a surprise anymore.
Just like any other day, Katie woke up, not caring whether Dr. Jessica Sammler was still next door or already has left her home. She got to work, picking up a few emails on her PC from her family, her friends, and of course Sarah, who was lucky out of the country for a few days - Much to her relief of course.
Suddenly, earlier than usual, Grace Manning bursts through the door huffing like the world is about to run out of air so she'd rather take in anything that she can.
"Katie, I need you to go to a party with Jessie."
"No." Katie replied without looking.
"Why not? It's a gay party. It's her gay friend's birthday."
"No."
"Oh come on Singer…" Grace cooed hanging on to Katie's arm like a monkey.
"Grace Manning, why don't you accompany her instead? I'm neither her chauffer nor her fiancé."
Grace rolled her eyes knowing pretty well Jessie has been avoiding Katie for the past several days. Katie for that matter seemed to just continue her life not realizing the blonde was hurting her. Grace knew the brunette was hurting. Katie was ACTUALLY working.
"First off, I'm not gay. Secondly, I don't enjoy parties. You do. Besides, I know there'll be lots of girls there - Single girls. No need to fret about Jessie being around. Once you take her there, you can just leave her to drink till she gets drunk. After that, you help her puke then take her home."
This time it was Katie's turn to roll her eyes. Katie had absolutely no intention whatsoever to take Jessie to that party. But the thought of the blonde getting drunk and ending up with the wrong person made her worry.
"Fine… Fine…" Katie breathed out somewhat regretting her decision already.
"Thanks! I owe you one…" Grace happily skipped out of Katie's office to make a phone call.
"You owe me too many already…" Katie sighed again taking a seat.
----
Jessie stared at herself at the mirror. Katie Singer was going to pick her up in a matter of minutes to accompany her to Russell's party. Grace could be so damn intuitive at times. She knew the Jessie's silent need. The blonde's silent need to explain herself to a woman she could barely take her mind off.
Taking one last look, Jessie walked down the stairs and waited patiently in the living room. She wrapped her own hands around herself feeling a lot colder than usual. She let out chuckle realizing why she was feeling a little weird. She stared at her engagement ring and took it off. She placed it on her purse and spaced off once more.
"I'm nervous… I hope she's not…" Jessie started to mumble but the door bell rang halting her inner conversations with herself.
"COMING!"
Walking towards the door, Jessie took a deep breath and tried to smile. Once she opened it, she saw Katie, with her back facing her. The brunette's features seem to make her water. Clad jeans, a normal blouse, high heels, Katie seemed nothing more than usual. Surprisingly, the mere sight of her turning seemed to make Jessie mouth run dry.
"Hi…" Jessie finally squeaked out.
She found herself staring at the lengths of Katie's body from the head down. Amused, Katie just stood there looking at the almost drooling blonde. A good few seconds passed, Katie decided it was time to leave.
"I think we should be going." Katie said in a soft voice.
She tried to smile but was struck with Jessie's intent gaze.
"I don't think I want to go anywhere…" The blonde mumbled, still gazing at Katie's green eyes.
"But…" Katie wanted to reply, but Jessie's hot, wet lips were already starting to devour her.
With her eyes closed, Jessie pulled Katie closer with the use of her right hand. She found the door knob behind her with her left hand and turned it, pulling Katie inside the house with her. Once inside, Jessie pulled away from Katie and forcefully slammed the door, locking it afterwards.
Bewildered Katie just stood stiff as Jessie lunged herself towards her wrapping her hands around her neck. The blonde pulled her into another fierce kiss Katie could barely resist now. Hands were starting to caress her sides and were now trailing her chest, making her heart pump like she's been running for hours. Jessie seemed to find her breasts enticing that the blonde let her hands stay there groping, kneading, making Katie go crazy.
"Stop…" The voice came out like a whimper.
Katie was already becoming weak on the knees.
Jessie claimed her lips once more, increasing her ferocity. Her tongue gently massaged the walls of the brunette's mouth making her moan. Who they were, who they were with, and everything else was now out the window. Jessie could only think of making love to Katie Singer. Nothing more, nothing less.
----
Russell greeted another invited guest. He seemed to have been missing a good friend of his who was supposed to be within the premises two hours before. He shook his head. Maybe Jessica Sammler had something important to do.
----
The darkened house seemed to be empty if one were to look at it from the outside. As one would make their way through the front door, pieces of clothing were tossed around the living room till you reach the stairs. Lights unlit but the second floor hall, a door slightly ajar, where two bodies are moving as one.
Katie's lips found Jessie's neck, sweat increasing their need. Her strong arms caressing the blonde's legs which were straddling her. She could feel the nub of her breasts meeting with Jessie's making her breath hitch.
With her arms wrapped around Katie, Jessie moaned to the brunette's warm lips as her wet center felt the silkiness of the brunette's well toned body. As a response, she bent over licking Katie's right earlobe making her lover purr.
They took their sweet time, not much of a hurry. They caressed every part of their lover's body, savoring the feel of their first contact. They pull apart, eyes locked with a passionate gaze, breathes in pants, hearts pounding like there was no tomorrow.
----
Grace Manning sat on her office chair as the voice of Katherine Mcphee singing 'Somewhere over the Rainbow' hollered onto the rest of the room. Her bottle of brandy was out and so was her shot glass. It was just another tiring night at work.
Suddenly she wondered.
"I wonder if Jessie and Katie are having fun…"
----
"I don't want to hurt you…" Katie whispered as her fingertips began to trail Jessie's most private treasure.
Her lips burned with the feel of the blonde's skin. Jessie's ragged breaths seemed to be like music to Katie's ears, seducing her to do more.
Jessie could barely open her eyes. Her head was casually cushioned by her pillows and the need to feel more of Katie was threatening to overwhelm her. She could hear the brunette's loving voice but could not make out what she was telling her. All that she knew was she was in heaven. And an angel named Katie Singer was her tour guide.
"Jessie…" Katie whispered struggling to control herself.
With the sound of her name Jessie opened her eyes and saw Katie's figure. She gasped as Katie leaned to her and gave her neck a few bites. With a lick, the skin was soothed and Jessie was now begging for more.
"I need you…" Jessie pleaded as her hands cupped Katie's cheek.
Their lips met in a slow dance of passionate kisses. It was definitely short of what they desires were thirsting for. Hands begin to decent, and Jessie could feel Katie's long, slender fingers approaching her desired spot.
A finger grazed her clit, making her gasp for more air. She could feel Katie's lips on her breast. The brunette was skillfully licking each nipple, giving them their much needed attention.
Another gasp.
Jessie felt Katie's finger sliding towards her wet center. Arching as the probing finger slowly made its way inside of her.
She felt Katie stop. But her finger still inside her.
"Katie…" She spoke softly, almost begging.
She could feel herself being drenched with the sensations the brunette was fostering in her body.
"Hush, darling… Be patient…" Those were words she heard before feeling the rest of the world being blown away.
Slowly, Katie moved her fingers inside Jessie. She could now hear the blonde's moans. She carefully repositioned herself above the blonde without breaking her rhythm. Katie saw Jessie's eyes fluttering with the sensation. She felt she was just going to burst.
But then, she felt Jessie's fingers trying to reach her. The fingers slowly made their way to her clit, making her jerk.
"Jess…"
"I want you… to feel… the way… you make me feel…" Jessie replied, struggling to make her intentions clear.
She found Katie's dripping center and gasped as she felt the brunette's hardened clit. Jessie practically wanted to force herself to Katie. And Katie knew she was losing her cool.
Katie rolled beside her and took her fingers out of Jessie. The blonde grumbled in protest and curled up like a ball on the bed. Katie knew she was awakening Jessie's sexual urges. But all can be satisfied in due time.
She wrapped her arms around the blonde whose back was facing her. Katie planted soft kisses on her shoulder blades and nipped the base of her neck. While doing so, Katie's free hand slowly made its way inside Jessie once more. It made the blonde straighten up and push herself against her lover.
The fingers slowly got in and out of her. Her hips moved to their rhythm making the fingers go deeper. The kisses on her neck were enough to make her crazy. But as the pace went faster, Jessie just had to go over the edge. Her first orgasm in the hands of an unlikely lover. She screamed her name, not really knowing or understanding why. All she knew was this person lit the fire inside of her. And man was it burning.
