Chapter 10
Foxes' NFL Sunday
Mikki arched her back and purred loudly as Eddie's lips contacted her warm center for the first time. In her mind, the first kiss was as good as advertised. The second was even better. Kisses three through six exceeded all expectations. When the tip of Eddie's tongue snuck out to slowly flick her swollen bud for the first time, Mikki knew that this would become one of her favorite pastimes. Mikki began to softly cry out as she experienced this new sensation. The soft cries of pleasure began to slowly build as the warm feeling of arousal coursed through her body.
The building cries of pleasure moved to a crescendo as Eddie's tongue expertly swept across the very stimulated bundle of nerves, down the slick folds of her labia and back again. The overwhelming sensations had the tall beauty clutching the sheets, chest heaving from the labored breathing of lovemaking, the panting growing shorter and more pronounced by the minute. Another minute or two passed before Mikki's body could resist the stimulation no longer.
"Oh… god… I… I…" The words that Mikki breathlessly uttered were her last before a powerful orgasm overtook her, causing her body to shudder in delight.
Eddie lifted his head to see Mikki with her eyes closed, breathing through her mouth with a look of serene beauty etched on her face as her body descended from its orgasmic plateau. Without opening her eyes, she slowly brought her right hand down to caress the top of Eddie's head, her fingertips sweeping down to touch his cheek. She slowly opened her eyes and looked down at Eddie, her eyes as wide open and accepting as humanly possible. Eddie looked up at her and smiled sweetly. Before he could say anything, however, the queen of the sexy one-word utterances had another one for young Mister Thomas.
"Encore." Mikki said softly, her eyes indicating a fire that was rekindling itself inside her. Taking his cue, Eddie lowered his head and took Mikki's clit into his mouth and flicked his tongue several times. "Shit!" Mikki said with surprise in her voice over the different but pleasant feeling. She repeated herself when Eddie gently sucked her clit for the first time moments later.
Her body continued to ride the wave of pleasure it was on until it reached its second break point of the morning. "I'm… gonna come again!" Mikki whisper-yelled just before her second climax with Eddie surged through her. Much like the first time, Mikki's eyes were closed as a satisfied smile crept across her lips. Once again, Mikki looked down at Eddie sweetly and motioned for him with her finger. "C'mere." She said softly before Eddie slowly made his way up toward her. She slid down slightly so her head could rest on his shoulder, but not before capturing him in a kiss, humming her approval of tasting herself on his lips.
"So far, so good." Mikki said with a smile.
"I take it by you saying that that we aren't done yet." Eddie playfully said.
"Not by a long shot." Mikki said. "In for a dime, in for a dollar."
"You set the pace. Go as fast or as slow as you want. Okay?" Eddie offered.
"You are too sweet." Mikki said, placing a small kiss on Eddie's chin.
"You make it easy to be." Eddie countered. "I really like you and… I want this to be special for you."
"It already is." Mikki said. "Make love to me Eddie." She cupped Eddie's face gently as their lips met, eyes fixed on one another just before the moment of contact.
For the next half an hour, Eddie and Mikki engaged in slightly awkward but sweet and tender lovemaking. Mikki savored every sight, every sound, every nuance of this new and exciting experience. And when all was done, warm smiles and a cuddly embrace remained.
"Was it what you expected?" Eddie asked softly.
"No." Mikki replied with equal softness. "Not even close… It was so much more. Thank you."
"I should be thanking you for allowing me to be your first." Eddie said.
"After our first date I knew you were going to be the one." Mikki said. Eddie smiled. "And the two and the three and…" Mikki continued causing both of them to chuckle. "I don't mean to rush you at all, but aren't you gonna miss your ride?"
"You think I'm just gonna make love to you and leave?" Eddie asked. "I'm a big boy. I can get back to Philly on my own. Besides, there's no other place I want to be right now." Mikki smiled and gently closed her eyes. "I'm gonna miss you when I'm gone." Eddie said. Mikki opened her eyes and looked up at Eddie before leaning up and softly kissing him on the lips.
"I hope I didn't suck too bad." Mikki said self-consciously.
"You were wonderful…" Eddie said reassuringly.
"I mean, I didn't suck at all… maybe next time…" Mikki's rambling double entendre made Eddie chuckle. "If you want there to be a next time…" Eddie ended her rambling with a long, sensual kiss. When they broke apart, Mikki uttered in pleasant exasperation, "I love the way you shut me up."
"I could listen to you talk all day." Eddie said.
"So how long do I have you for?" Mikki asked.
"I can leave at 7 and make it home in plenty of time." Eddie said.
"I know you haven't hung out with Chelsea and Raven in a while. Why don't we see if they want to go to lunch." Mikki said.
"I'm glad you get along with them." Eddie said.
"I couldn't ask for better neighbors or friends. After all, if it wasn't for them, I wouldn't have met you." Mikki offered.
"They are pretty special. I really love them. They're like family." Eddie said.
"Well let's go have a family reunion before you leave." Mikki said with a smile.
"You know, you're pretty special yourself." Eddie said.
"I feel special around you." Mikki said, locking eyes with Eddie for a moment before snapping herself out of it. "I'm… going to take a shower before I'm not able to get out of this bed."
"Good idea." Eddie said with a smirk. "I'll just lay here and plan my next trip to come see you."
"You better." Mikki said playfully before kissing Eddie again and getting up to go to the bathroom.
When she left, Eddie lay on his back with his arms tucked behind his head as he stared at the ceiling. "Is it possible to be in love this soon?" Eddie thought to himself. "It must be, because I think I am."
The bus let out at the edge of the parking lot at Giants Stadium and the ladies, along with sixty other fans disembarked and headed inside to join seventy thousand others inside the cavernous stadium.
"I will give this to you. You are a brave woman, coming in here wearing that." Serena said referring to Teri's jersey.
"Let me see you walk into FedEx Field with an Eli Manning jersey on." Teri challenged.
"Been there, done that. Two years ago." Serena countered.
"You've got an answer for everything don't you?" Teri asked with a smirk.
"No. I haven't solved the riddle that is Teri Winters. But the day is young." Serena said.
"I'm tougher than a two-dollar steak." Teri said.
"You're a kitten." Serena said. "I did like the JR reference, though."
"You watch wrestling too?" Teri asked incredulously.
"When I'm home on Monday nights." Serena said as they reached the turnstiles.
"Serena, this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship." Teri borrowed from Humphrey Bogart as she entered the stadium.
Close to four hours, four beers, two hot dogs, two set of hoarse vocal chords and a Redskins victory later, the two women stepped off the bus on 41st Street.
"That was an incredible game! Shaun Suisham is my hero!" Teri said, referring to the Redskins' kicker who kicked the game-winning field goal as time expired.
"The Deadskins just got lucky, that's all. Every dog has its day." Serena deadpanned.
"Woof-woof!" Teri teased. "We're gonna be barking all the way to first place, baby!
"It's still a long season, I wouldn't bark too loud." Serena said.
"You know what is barking loud? My feet. They are killing me!" Teri said.
"Well how about we go rest them at my place over dinner." Serena said.
"You would dare invite a Redskin fan into your sacred lair of Giants fandom?" Teri joked.
"You're not as obnoxious as some, so I guess it'll be all right." Serena said with a smile. "Now those damned Cowboys fans…"
"I'd like to take one of the points of that star…" Teri started.
Serena quickly picked up the baton. "Shine it up real nice…"
Teri continued. "Turn that sumbitch sideways…"
And they both finished the diatribe. "AND SHOVE IT STRAIGHT UP THEIR CANDY ASSES!" Both women began laughing hysterically as they walked down the street celebrating their successful re-enactment of one of The Rock's signature monologues.
"OH MY GOD!" Teri said, still laughing. "YOU are funny as hell!"
"Well thank goodness I am a better cook than I am a comedienne." Serena said chuckling. "Let's go. I don't live too far from here."
Twenty-five minutes later they arrived at Serena's modestly beautiful apartment at 85th and Madison Avenue on the Upper East Side. As she stepped inside, Teri took noted of all the rich cherry wood finishing and the abundance of white – white leather furniture; white area rug over hardwood in front of the sofa and stark white walls with art prominently displayed.
As Serena closed and locked the front door, she pulled her tennis shoes off and sat them by the coat rack. Without prompting, Teri took the visual cue and did the same before venturing further.
"Please, have a seat." Serena said as she headed for the kitchen. "You want something to drink? I've got wine… beer… fruit juice… water…"
"Water will be great. Thanks." Teri said before switching gears. "I love your place."
"Thanks. I've had it for a few years now… Here you go." Serena said before offering a bottle of water to her guest. "I bought it right after I went into private practice…" Serena glanced over and saw her message light blinking. "Excuse me for a second." Teri was about to get up to give her privacy when Serena waved her hand for her to stay put.
"Serena, this is Jack McCoy. I know I haven't spoken to you in a while. I hope everything is okay with you. When you get this message, please give me a call. It's important. I am in the office tonight until 10. My number is still the same. Take care. Bye."
"END OF MESSAGES."
"Jack McCoy. Chelsea told me that he was your old boss." Teri said.
"He was." Serena said. "It must really be important for him to call me on a Sunday. I'm sorry. Would you mind if…"
"Go ahead. I'm not going anywhere." Teri said with a smile.
Serena returned the smile and picked up the cordless. She began walking down the hall toward the bedroom and dialed. Teri took the opportunity to stand up and look around the apartment. She walked over to a tall bookcase that had rows of books above and below two shelves full of pictures. Some of them were obviously taken at work. She was in several pictures with two men, one an older man in his early sixties and another that appeared to be in his early fifties. She figured that they were Arthur Branch and Jack McCoy respectively. "No chances of an office romance there." Teri said to herself.
She then spied several pictures of Serena with several other women, all strikingly beautiful, who appeared to be attorneys and detectives. One of the women was a tall brunette who looked like a natural runner. Another was a redhead, slightly taller than Serena. Another picture showed Serena with a thin but curvy blonde with tortoiseshell glasses and yet another with Serena and a short-haired brunette in tight jeans with a badge on her hip and a solidly built man next to her that Teri assumed to be her partner.
Teri's eyes then fell to the shelf below "the police shelf". Those pictures all appeared to be family photos. There were shots of a smiling Serena with two people she deduced were Serena's parents at an anniversary celebration, Serena with several men and women around her age that could be siblings or cousins and one of Serena in what appeared to be an off-the-shoulder top looking over her shoulder at the camera, mouth closed, eyes wide and expressive. That last picture struck Teri as one that someone could turn into a portrait.
Moments later, Serena quietly emerged from the bedroom and noticed Teri's perusal of her picture shelves.
"I see you found Vanity Central." Serena said tongue-in-cheek.
"You, vane? Please. I've got more pictures on my corkboard at work." Teri said. "You do keep some beautiful company though." Teri said pointing to the pictures of the women she noticed earlier.
"I've said that to myself on more than one occasion." Serena said. She then set out to identify the women for Teri. "This is Abbie Carmichael." Serena pointed to the tall brunette. "She was Jack's ADA before me. And this is Casey Novak, ADA for the special victims unit – sex crimes, children, etcetera. She is an awesome softball player." Serena said in describing the redhead. "And this is Alex Cabot, Casey's predecessor." Serena turning her attention to the blonde with the glasses.
"Now I want this one to handcuff me!" Teri said pointing to the short-haired brunette in the jeans.
"Ahhh, Olivia Benson. That's her partner Eliot Stabler with her." Serena said with a smile and a nod of the head. "That woman has the most lethal strut in the one-six." Serena said, referring to the 16th Precinct, home of Manhattan's Special Victims Unit. "She could melt ice with the way she switches her hips."
"I bet." Teri said. "So… have you ever seen her… legal briefs?"
Serena laughed. "Wow! I haven't heard that one in a while! No, I haven't. They are all like sisters to me. I know Casey and Abbie are straight, but there have been rumors about Liv and Alex, together."
"Huh. I wouldn't have thought that by looking at them. But, I guess opposites do attract." Teri said.
"Sometimes." Serena said as she quietly studied Teri.
"So was everything okay with your old boss, if you don't mind me asking." Teri said.
"I don't mind at all. Actually, I need an impartial opinion." Serena said as she led them over to the couch. She sat down on the sofa, draping her right arm over the back of the couch and folding her right leg in front of her while hanging her left leg off the couch. Teri sat opposite her, mirroring her position.
"I'm all ears." Teri said.
"Jack just told me that Arthur Branch retired Friday and that he has been appointed interim District Attorney by the mayor." Serena said. "And he wants me to come back as his Executive ADA."
"Wow! But… didn't he fire you?" Teri asked.
"No. Arthur did. Jack didn't want me to leave. We didn't always see eye to eye, but he appreciated the debate more than Arthur did. I don't think Arthur was ever comfortable with me." Serena recalled.
"So you're torn between your new love of teaching and your loyalty to Jack." Teri said.
"I don't know if it's loyalty to Jack. I… felt like I made a difference. I felt like I was looking out for those who couldn't look out for themselves." Serena said.
"So it looks like you have to decide whether you should teach the next generation how to look out for the helpless among us or pick up the baton that was snatched from you and move forward." Teri advised.
Serena cocked her head to the side in thought as she gazed at her date. "Are you sure you're only twenty-five?" Serena asked, indirectly complimenting Teri's insightful advice.
"Let me count the rings." Teri said playfully as she lifted her jersey and t-shirt up, looked down and touched her index finger to her stomach.
In an instant, Serena felt her heat rise as she slowly brought her hand forward and lightly brushed Teri's stomach with her fingertips. "I… can help you count if you want." Serena said in a low, silky voice that she had not previously used with the younger blonde. Not meaning to, Teri audibly shuddered at Serena's touch. Promising herself that she would be on her best behavior with Serena after sleeping with Ashley on their first date and the day after, Teri lowered her head slightly and closed her eyes.
Teri's eyes did not re-open until she felt the crook of a soft, sweet smelling finger lift her chin. Serena had closed the distance between them and delivered a gentle kiss that was light in physicality but heavy in feeling.
Teri melted into the warm, sensual kiss and all the feelings that came with it. However, just before reaching her own personal point of no return, she caught herself and pulled back.
"I'm sorry… I…" Teri started.
"No." Serena said softly. "I'm sorry. I was a little presumptuous."
"If this were a week ago, a few days ago, we wouldn't be talking right now, but I need to slow myself down. It wasn't you… believe me, it wasn't you." Teri said.
"It's okay. I understand." Serena said.
"I… think I'm gonna go now. I suddenly don't trust myself tonight." Teri said as she slowly rose to her feet and began walking over to the coat rack to retrieve her shoes. Serena stood and followed a couple of paces behind her. "I had a great time today." Teri said as she slipped her shoes on.
"Maybe we can do that again sometime." Serena said softly.
"Definitely." Teri said.
"Can I call you this week? Maybe we can do something?" Serena asked as Teri took one final step toward the door.
"Absolutely." Teri said with a mix of anticipation, awe and a hint of desire in her voice as she turned to face Serena to say goodbye. Serena stepped forward and slowly pressed her lips to Teri, again sending Teri's needle haywire. When they broke apart, Teri bit her bottom lip and flashed a grin. "For a Giants fan, you sure know how to kiss."
"That's not all I know how to do." Serena said slyly and she leaned past Teri to open the door. Serena slowly opened the door but not before Teri decided to deliver a parting shot.
Teri put her lips to Serena's ear and whispered, "I can do more than kiss too." Teri then briefly captured Serena's earlobe between her teeth, giving it the most gentle graze and suck before withdrawing. This caused the older woman to shudder and softly draw breath between her teeth.
Serena's eyes began to glaze slightly as she eyed Teri. "Goodnight Teri. Be safe going home."
"Night Serena. I will. Call me." Teri said. Serena nodded and smiled before closing the door. Teri dropped her head and began shaking it. "Wow. That would have been…"
Serena stood on the other side of the door surprised by the physical reaction she just had to the young woman that just left her apartment. Unbeknownst to her, the word that she was about to utter would complete the sentence that Teri had just started on the other side of the door. Serena whispered to herself, "Amazing."
