Thanks to all of you who have taken the time to review and who are now following. I am sorry for the delay. I will try to do better so I won't have anyone trying to track me down and kick my butt into gear for me. LOL Enjoy your reading.

P.S. I have began posting my original writing on fanfiction's sister site FictionPress. You can find me there under the same username of hollyhwrites.

Previously… Zayne spent plenty of time worshiping her loves glorious body with her hands, lips, tongue, and teeth. However, she avoided Blair's lovely breasts, her luscious backside, and the haven between her thighs wanting to prove how passionate her love was without even touching those main areas.

Blair's body was in turmoil. She had never felt this way before. Her body felt on the brink of a massive explosion and Zayne hadn't even needed to touch her in the obvious erogenous zones. However her breasts felt swollen and ached for Zayne's touch as did her sex. The blonde had never been so wet and swollen before. "Zayne I can't take much more please. I need. I need so much." She begged. That was what Zayne had been waiting for. She engulfed one soft breast in her mouth and the other in a warm hand and gloried in the sound of her lover chanting her name as she instantly shot into the heavens. Zayne kept her worshiping of her princess's body up for long hours bringing them both to climax repeatedly. Zayne's body had always reacted to the giving of pleasure to her lover. She loved Blair until the woman finally passed out from the glory of it. She retrieved warm wash cloths from the bathroom and a towel cleaning her well pleased lover and herself, to make them both more comfortable before climbing into bed beside her love holding her close skin to skin and pulling the bedding up and over them. She quickly followed her woman into slumber.

Chapter 10

Blair had been pleasantly awoken several times during the night by her lover's amorous attentions. Zayne had loved her into oblivion once again as the sun came up before the doctor went out for her run. Lovemaking seemed to energize Zayne while it made Blair feel like a limp noodle. She found she liked feeling like a limp noodle. They had made love again in the shower when Zayne had returned. The taller woman had slid down her body and drove Blair into another screaming climax. The dark haired woman had to hold her up and rinse and dry them both after that. The blond had once again become boneless.

Blair couldn't fight the bright smile that erupted on her face at the memories of her night spent alone in Zayne's bed with her. Zayne wholeheartedly proved she was not frigid and was indeed a very passionate woman.

Zayne had dressed in khaki shorts and a red stretchy t-shirt sliding her feet into white canvas shoes before escorting Blair to her room. "Would it be okay if we had your things moved to my room today? There is a whole closet and dressing area empty in there just waiting to be filled just like that second sink and cabinet area in the bathroom is waiting to be used. I would really like to share the master suite with you."

Blair's heart fluttered. Zayne looked almost shy as she asked. It was adorable. "I would love to share the suite with you. I want to share my life with you." She kissed Zayne.

"I want the same." Zayne said when they came up for air. "You get dressed and I will meet you in the breakfast room. I need to take care of a few things in my study first. That offer for your Dad should be ready. I would still like you to look over it before I have it sent to him."

Blair hugged her. "I would be happy to. I am rather excited about working with you on this project."

The doctor returned the hug. "So am I. There is one other thing I would like you to look over as well. It was something I was toying with before, but now that we will need to be in the city more often, as least for a while, I was thinking of going through with it and wanted your input." They kissed one more time before Zayne bounded down the hall to her girls' room and Blair went to her closet to get dressed.

FoL FoL FoL FoL FoL

Blair breezed into the breakfast room going directly to the buffet set up in the corner loading her plate with a little more than was usual for her. A night of being ravished left a body quite hungry.

Tootie and Nat had arrived just ahead of her, but the older generation was already seated at the table. The only ones missing were Zayne and the twins.

"You look happy this morning." Tootie teased.

"I noticed the twins slept in their own room last night and when we went up to bed your door was open and your room was empty. Did you have a nice time last night?" Nat also teased.

Blair blushed, but wanted to share with someone and who better than those she trusted most. "Do you remember what Tad said about me at the Gala the other night?"

The others remembered well him accusing her of being frigid. They all nodded in affirmation.

"Let's just say Zayne proved him wrong repeatedly all through the night and morning." She looked at Fiona. "You were right about the whole passion directed at me thing. I felt worshiped and consumed all at the same time. Wow is about all I can say about last night and this morning."

Everyone chuckled telling her how happy they were for her and for Zayne and the girls too.

Martin sat his juice down grinning. "Teddy and I knew things went well between the two of you last night. We saw how Zayne raced across the property and out to the beach. We learned long ago that spending enjoyable intimate time with her ladylove makes her energized whereas most of us get more relaxed by lovemaking. As peppy as she was, last night must have been really good."

"I'd say. I passed out twice." Blair murmured, but not quietly enough. Tootie dropped her fork and Nat snorted juice up her nose.

"You passed out from pleasure?" Tootie queried.

"Twice?" Nat clarified.

Blair blushed, but nodded.

Martin, Teddy, Fiona, and Marie only smiled at the others stunned faces. Faith had not been shy about sharing with them how well loved she had been. From all they knew of Zayne from Faith she was an incredible lover. Blair simply confirmed what they already believed.

"She did exactly what she accused your ex of never doing didn't she?" Nat asked with bright eyes.

Blair nodded again. "And then some."

"Oh, wow. I am really happy for you girl, but way jealous at the same time." Tootie was smiling and her eyes were wide.

"I totally concur." Nat was fanning herself with her hand.

Zayne with the twins clinging to her back bounded into the room. "Morning all. Breakfast smells delicious. I'm starved."

"No wonder." Natalie murmured.

Zayne's eyebrow rose questioningly at the comment, but she fully understood when she saw Blair's blush.

"We are starved too, Mom." The twins spouted together.

"Then we better get plates and fill them up." She and the girls had a fun time filling their plates. All listened and laughed as the trio made the simple task a culinary adventure.

Zayne set her plate down and leaned over to whisper in Blair's ear. "Can I get you anything more while I'm up? We want to keep your strength up don't we?" She couldn't help, but tease her love a little.

"I'm fine, but you better eat plenty you will need the energy later." Blair flirted back.

Zayne laughed delighted and kissed her quickly before taking her seat beside her lady.

The twins each stopped to place kisses on Blair's cheeks at the same time. "Morning Buttercup!"

"Morning, my young heroes." She glanced over at Zayne with a look.

The dark haired woman only winked. "Sorry sweetheart, but you may be stuck with that for a while."

"Are they calling you the Dread Pirate?"

"No, it's too long to say. I guess they could call me DPR for short, but it just doesn't flow the same way." Zayne smiled again before digging into her breakfast.

Tootie inquired about the name and Blair and the girls explained their adventures in the imagination tent the night before and that they watched the movie together before bedtime.

After Zayne and Blair gave their plates to one of the staff they sat and drank coffee with their heads together over the proposal for Blair's father. Blair thought it was more than generous and they decided to send it off immediately.

Zayne began texting her instructions to her lawyer after she had slid another short stack of papers in front of Blair.

Blair looked down at a picture of a Beaux Arts Mansion. She had seen it many times across from the Metropolitan Museum. It was a historical landmarked Limestone Mansion designed in 1903 by C.P.H Gilbert, whose work included Gilded-Age mansions for Woolworth, Otto Kahn, and Warburg families. She studied the pictures, Blair had always admired the bow-front limestone façade of the mansion with its ornate iron grill double doors with triple French windows accented with elegant round arches beneath curved transoms. It even had a Juliet Balcony.

She flipped through the information finding that though it needed some work that the mansion retained its original grand scale and proportions with 16 rooms, 13' ceilings with significant archetectual detail on six floors, plus a basement. The entrance opened onto a Grand Gallery with a serpentine staircase ascending to the Parlor floor. The home offered an elevator, seven fireplaces, a garden, two terraces, and kitchen access to a sky-lit garden room. Plus it had wonderful views of the Empire State Building and the Metropolitan Museum. Blair knew it was located on a premier landmarked block. She read that the mansion was nearly ten thousand sq. ft.

Zayne put her phone aside. "I have thought about purchasing it before, but didn't know if I would be in the city enough for it to be worth it. Now I know it will be. Some renovations have been started, but it still needs work. I thought this could be another project we did together. We could make it our home in the city and it's big enough for the whole family. You, Fiona, and Marie know a lot more about interior design than I do. All I know is I like making old places like new again. We did it on our estate in Cambridge. Most of the work here was already done for me, but this place in the city, it could be ours. Just think about it okay?"

Blair couldn't speak over the lump of emotion in her throat, so only nodded. She could hardly believe she had gotten so lucky. Zayne wanted to build a home with her. Make a life with her. Make her a part of the Masters' family.

Not caring on bit that they had an audience Blair pulled Zayne to her and kissed her with all the emotion bottled inside her. She finally pulled back resting her forehead against Zayne's. "I love you, you know that?"

Zayne smiled. "I am so glad of that fact and I love you too with all my heart."

"I would love to build a home and a life with you."

"Good." Zayne kissed her once more before easing back in her chair and pulling a startled Blair into her lap. "So is that property okay or do we need to look for something else?"

"No, I love that place. I have always admired it. I didn't even realize it was for sale."

"Then I will have my accountant work out an offer for the place and get it sent in with instructions to top all offers." Zayne wrapped her arm around Blair and picked up her phone to text her accountant.

Blair held up her hands. "I can help pay for the place. I know you have a few billion dollars, but that can go fast when you make many major purchases."

"I don't mind you wanting to help out if you want Blair, but I was thinking I would go ahead and get the place and you can help with the renovations and furnishings." She pulled her love closer resting her chin on her shoulder. "Also there is something else I should share with you." Zayne glanced at Marie who stood and made sure none of the staff was nearby and shut the breakfast room doors. "Well you see the thing is I have worked very hard at hiding my true wealth from the public, but one can only do so much so the world knows I am worth about ten billion dollars."

"Ten billion!" Blair squeaked. "I thought it was more like two or three."

The others of Zayne's old friends goggled as well.

"Do you want to adopt me? I'm house broken and everything." Nat teased.

"You're already family Nat, welcome in any of my home any time." Zayne leaned back to look into Blair's eyes. "Now what the public doesn't know and what I am asking everyone here to keep quiet is my true worth."

"You know I would never tell a soul, Zayne. I promise." Blair assured.

"We all promise." Mrs. Garret said getting agreement from everyone, even Zayne's immediate family who thought they knew the general amount.

"Well as of last month I became the third richest person in the world between Bill Gates and Warren Buffet and as it stands I will most likely nose out Bill Gates within the next year easy, once the government contracts come through and we make good on our Warner & Masters Enterprises deal. I am only a billion behind him now and that is after my large charitable donations. To give you a number, I am worth a little over sixty billion dollars. So sweetheart I don't think we have to worry about me running us into the poor house any time soon.

Everyone was shocked. Her immediate family knew she had become one of the top ten wealthiest individuals in the world, but not that she was now in the top three.

"Wow Zayne, can you adopt me too." Tootie said smiling.

"Everyone in this room is already family and always welcome in my homes."

"My God! Sixty billion dollars. Well this is new for me. People are going to think I'm with you for your money and power. People usually think that about my dates." Blair could only shake her head in wonder.

"I'm sure you can handle it. Besides you can just tell them that the money and power are great perks, but you're with me because I'm dead sexy and have amazing skills in the bedroom that keeps you coming back for more." Zayne said in her best Austin Powers personation grinning widely.

Blair shook her head at the devilish woman she loved. "Well there is that."

The room had erupted with laughter and Zayne was happy that at least those closest to her wouldn't treat her any differently for knowing the truth.

She completed her instructions to her accountant about the offer on the mansion before the family all took a walk down to the beach.

While they were gone some of the staff worked to rearrange Zayne's study to accommodate another desk that she had ordered moved from another part of the house. She also had a high end laptop and iPad on their way and they should be in the office when she returned to her study later in the day.

The family spent time together until after lunch when Fiona and Martin got the girls going on their lessons, while Tootie and Nat left to go explore some of the nearby towns. Mrs. G and Marie had their heads together in the kitchen with some of the staff experimenting with recipes together. Beverly Anne was roaming the grounds and beach with her camera taking nature shots, and Teddy adjourned to the game room in his big comfy chair to play the latest Call of Duty game with his headset on talking trash with the other players.

Zayne showed Blair into her or now their study. "I thought you needed your own work space and I like having you near. I thought we could share the study and if we need privacy or more space for something I am sure we can find it. This is a rather large house."

"I love it, darling." Blair kissed her again. She loved being able to do so whenever she wanted.

"Excellent. Let's get your laptop set-up and your iPad charged. You can play with that later."

They worked together and Blair watched as Zayne easily got rid of all the junk that came on the laptop and loaded everything she wanted onto it as well as security software she designed herself. "I will send you everything I have on Warner Enterprises so you can begin to get familiar with the full situation there. It's going to be handy having a corporate attorney in the family. If you're interested and available I would like to take you with me on my meetings on this latest government deal so you can learn a little bit about what I do and I would be interested in any input you have as well."

"I would love to get to work with you in any way I can. We always did make a good team back at Eastland and Langley."

"Well, now we can conquer the world together." Zayne pulled her back onto her lap. It was quickly becoming one of the women's favorite ways to sit.

Zayne showed Blair the ins and outs of her new computer before moving to her own desk to send everything over to Blair about Warner Enterprises.

Blair began reviewing that as the doctor got to work on some ideas she had been toying with and working on since her meeting at the Pentagon. The scene was very reminiscent of the times they lived in the same room during their school days and would each be studying in their own areas.

Around five that evening David Warner called Zayne's cell, Blair hearing only one side of the conversation. "Good evening, Mr. Warner."

"Yes, things are fine in that regard."

"You made the decision more quickly than I believed."

"I agree a turnaround before the world learns of the companies difficulties would be best for everyone."

"Why don't you bring the papers tomorrow afternoon to my estate in South Hampton. We can discuss business and have a nice dinner afterwards and all get to know each other better. Your wife is invited as well. I am planning on inviting Monica and Bailey, too. I have plenty of guestrooms so you can stay over and not have to worry about getting back to the city late at night."

Zayne wasn't telling anyone the real reason she was inviting Blair's parents, that was between her and the twins.

"Good, I will email you directions to the estate. See you tomorrow." She hung-up and without looking up at the woman now staring a hole into her she dialed Monica's number. The call wasn't very long and both Monica and Bailey would be arriving tomorrow afternoon in a car Zayne would be sending for them.

"Why have you invited my family here?"

"I thought it would be best to ease the take over and to let them get to know me and my family and to help them see us as a couple outside of a public setting."

"You're pretty smooth you know."

"I have my moments." Zayne smiled. "I better call Marie and give her a heads up now or I might wake-up with half my head shaved."

David Warner didn't want to be, but found himself impressed with Zayne Masters' estate and security, it was state of the art. His young wife Sylvia was oohing and aahing over everything. He had driven his Mercedes instead of using his car and driver. He saw a limo pull into the drive behind him and assumed it held Monica and Bailey. He sighed. Let the fun begin.

FoL FoL FoL FoL FoL

Monica and Bailey were also impressed.

"This is so awesome mother. Blair tosses society on its backside by coming out as a lesbian and even better she lands like the hottest and richest lesbian in the world. My big sis rocks." Bailey was practically bouncing in her seat.

"Your sister does seem like she has done very well for herself. I love this house and the grounds are lovely."

"It's sweet and look, they have a private beach. I hope I get a chance to see it. The security guys are hot too."

"Doesn't sound like you're going to be a lesbian."

"Nah, I'm totally into guys, but I might experiment in college so I have a comparison. I might ask Blair about that, though I bet Tad was a real loser in bed. I have heard talk to that affect."

Monica shook her head, Blair and Bailey got along famously, but they were different as night and day in so many ways. "I'm sure your sister will find that an interesting conversation."

FoL FoL FoL FoL FoL

Blair and Zayne met their guests in front of the house. Blair kissed her father's cheek and shook Sylvia's hand. Zayne welcomed them to her home and shook both their hands. Her staff already knew where to take each groups luggage.

Monica greeted Blair with hugs and kisses and to Zayne's dismay she received the same.

Bailey and Blair squealed when they saw each other and engulfed one another in a boisterous hug. "I have missed you so much Blair, we have so much to talk about. Not the least of which is you and your hot girlfriend."

Blair laughed. "I've missed you too. Speaking of the devil." She turned to Zayne as she stopped beside her. "Zayne I'd like you to meet my younger sister Bailey. Bailey, my hot girlfriend Dr. Zayne Masters."

Bailey didn't stand on ceremony and hugged Zayne tight.

"It is great to meet you as well. Blair has told me a lot about you. She is pretty proud of her kid sister."

Bailey looked at her big sister. "Her voice is incredible, all husky and sexy and the accent. To die for. You really lucked out with this one."

Blair groaned at her outrageous sister's antics.

Zayne laughed. "Thanks, but I think I lucked out myself finding your sister." She put her arm around Blair.

"Mom are they here yet?" Came a caterwaul from within the open door seconds before the twins pelted out. They skidded to a halt on the top step as they saw the newcomers.

"Yes they've arrived." Zayne sighed. "Everyone these balls of energy are my twin daughters. Zoe and Abigail, but everyone calls her Abby." Each girl smiled and waved as they were introduced.

"Girls this is Blair's father, David Warner and his wife Sylvia." The girls said hello. "And this is her mother, Monica, and her sister, Bailey." They said hello again.

"They are precious Zayne. They seem as boisterous as my Bailey was." Monica smiled at the two pretty girls.

"I will just say keeping up with them keeps me in great shape."

The girls gravitated to Bailey who was the closest to their age. "Cool someone who's not old." Zoe said.

"Yeah, usually only grown-ups come to visit." Abby added.

Bailey cracked up as Zayne smiled not surprised in the least at what came out of her girls' mouths.

"They are so your daughters. They are just like you, only little." Blair smiled, liking that fact very much.

"Oh, I like you two and I can tell we are going to be great friends." Bailey was still chuckling.

The twins each grabbed one of Bailey's hands. "Come on we can show you your room. We picked it out ourselves. We gave you the one with the greatest bed for bouncing." Abby told her.

"And it also has the ocean out the window. It's really pretty at night when the moon and stars are out." Zoe continued as the three of them made their way into the house.

"Let's all go in and get settled. Dinner is in three hours. You have plenty of time to unwind a bit before dinner." Zayne led them in with Blair on one arm and Monica on the other. David and Sylvia followed them in.

Another chapter down. Once again sorry for the long wait. This next shouldn't take nearly as long to get out to you. All errors are my own. Let me know what you think. I love to hear from my readers! Until next time…
