Chapter 146

As the last article of clothing hit the floor, Olivia straddled her wife's hips, grinding her wet center against Natalia's stomach and leaning down for another heated kiss. "God you feel so good." She muttered against kiss swollen lips.

Natalia reached down to grip Olivia's ass in her hands, pulling her harder against herself. "So do you." She breathed, nipping at Olivia's bottom lip before pulling away and moving to her neck.

"I've missed you so much." Olivia moaned out as Natalia kissed, licked, and nipped, at her neck. "Missed feeling you like this." She stuttered as her hips jerked faster.

Natalia used strength she wasn't aware she possessed and flipped them over, switching their positions. She was wetter then she'd been in a very long time and her clit was throbbing. As much as she wanted to draw this out, she needed to orgasm and soon. Besides, they had all afternoon to go slow and savor one another, right now she needed fast and hard. Slow and sweet would have to wait.

Kissing down Olivia's chest, she took an already hard nipple into her mouth, biting gently before sucking vigorously. Releasing the tight bud, she kissed across heated skin to its twin, treating it the same and then looking up into darkened eyes blown wide with lust. "I missed you too, and I need you." Her hand quickly descended between soaked folds, fingers seeking out the hardened bundle of nerves calling to her. "Right now."

Olivia let out something between a groan and a howl as talented fingers stroked her clit perfectly and then traveled further south, two entering her without warning a thumb replacing where those fingers had just been. "Oh fuck…Natalia…."

Natalia pulled her mouth away from the breast it had been feasting on and leaned up to kiss the tempting lips of her wife. Her hand pumping faster as her own arousal spiked to an almost painful level. Adding a third finger she thrust with her hips, causing her fingers to sink in deeper and the back of her hand to rub against her own clit. Moaning into the kiss, she rocked that much faster, the friction helping to take the edge off.

As if she could sense what Natalia needed, Olivia shifted her to the side a little so she could reach between them, her fingers sheathing themselves inside Natalia's slick warmth. Although it had only been a week, it felt like it had been forever, and all of the sudden Olivia felt like she was home. Her heart swelled with love as she pumped her fingers in time with Natalia's, wanting nothing more than to bring her lover to her peak and watch as she fell off the cliff.

"Oh…Olivia…yes…."

"Natalia…fuck…baby…"

Their words overlapped each other as they moved in rhythm with one another. Both pressing hard and fast in and out of tight channels as they raced head long towards orgasmic bliss. Natalia's arm was burning with the effort but she didn't care, all that mattered was the woman beneath her and inside her. All she wanted was to watch Olivia come apart in her arms as she came apart right with her.

Their breathing grew heavier as they increased their pace, both standing on the edge and just needing that little bit to push them over. Natalia smashed their lips together as her fingers found the squishy spot they were searching for and she pressed against it.

Olivia followed suit, pressing hard against the rigid flesh, matching her tongue that was stroking Natalia's with the pace of her fingers. With just a few more pumps, both women were flying apart, screaming out one another's names into the empty house.

Natalia collapsed on the bed next to her wife, both women panting hard. "Wow. That was…" She breathed out.

"Yeah, it was." Olivia agreed, mustering the last of her strength to turn onto her side and run a hand down Natalia's sweat slicked side.

Natalia pushed forward to kiss the delectable lips before her that she just couldn't get enough of. "I love you."

"I love you too." Olivia replied instantly, slowly rubbing her wife's side, letting her hand slide to her lower back and buttocks where she squeezed before returning to her loving strokes.

The two spent the next couple of hours enjoying one another over and over again. Olivia had lost count of how many orgasms she had had and how many she had given. She just couldn't get enough of her wife.

They were laying naked and more then sated when they heard the front door open and shut. Olivia placed a kiss to the top of her wife's head that was laying on her chest. "We should shower and join your mother for dinner."

Natalia snuggled closer to her love, dropping lazy kisses to her breastbone. "Yeah, I know, but I'm so comfy." She said as she tightened her hold around Olivia's waist.

Olivia chuckled at her. "Seems someone else is wanting five more minutes."

"Or hours."

Olivia didn't say anything else. Instead, she rubbed her hand up Natalia's back and kissed her temple, enjoying another few minutes with her wife before getting up and heading to the shower.

After a fairly quick shower, the two descended the stairs hand in hand, following the wonderful smell of chili into the kitchen where Clara was placing small bowls filled with cheese, chives, and sour cream to top the chili with onto the table.

"Good evening mija, nuera. Did you have a pleasant afternoon?" Clara asked, grabbing the pot of chili from the stove, and placing it onto a potholder in the center of the table next to a couple sleeves of crackers.

"We did." Natalia answered with a slight blush tinting her cheeks. "How was work?"

"It was wonderful mija." Clara answered as the three women took their seats at the table. They said a quick prayer and then stared to eat. "I so enjoy doing something more than just cooking and keeping a house with my time. I cannot thank the two of you enough for giving me this opportunity."

"You're welcome Mrs. Rivera. And thank you for making dinner. It's delicious. I now know where Natalia gets her amazing cooking skills from." Olivia stated, taking another heaping bite.

"You are the chef around here mi amor." Natalia said with a fond smile. "But this is really good mama. I've tried to replicate it a few times, but, I never could quite get it right."

The three finished dinner, talking about this and that. Mainly work, Olivia and Natalia filling Clara in on their new plans and making sure she felt okay about being alone for most of the week. Clara assured them that she would be fine as long as they could arrange a way for her to get to and from work. Which was easily solved when Olivia handed her the keys to Ava's car for the week.

The following morning, after bidding Clara farewell, Natalia and Olivia headed over to Phillip's to catch Emma before she went off to school. They quickly filled Phillip in on what was going on and asked him to please check on Clara a time or two through the week, figuring he could use Emma wanting to check and see if the ducks were back yet as an excuse. He easily agreed and the two headed to the airport for their flight.

As soon as they reached the hotel, the Spencer-Rivera wives went straight to work. Settling into one of the offices, Olivia first called Trinity and Christian to see if they could both meet her and Natalia within the hour, which they both agreed to. While Olivia did that, Natalia started looking through the candidates for the other management positions.

So engrossed in their work, they jumped in unison when the door sprung open with their two eldest children darting in to hug them. "I can't believe you didn't even say hi to us before you started working." Ava said feigning offence.

"Yeah moms, so rude." Rafe added from Olivia's side.

Olivia playfully swatted his shoulder. "Well, my darling children, you two were both in interviews and we didn't want to interrupt. We figured you would come find us when you had a break, which you have."

"I know, I was just giving you a hard time." Ava told her. "We actually finished up the interviews early. We figured we'd come say hi and then go through them and figure out who we want to call and offer jobs to. If we can get that done this afternoon we can start on paperwork with the new employees tomorrow."

"Sounds like you two have it all under control."

"Only because of your brilliant plan and trust that we can hire a good staff."

"I know you two will only pick the best for our families hotel."

"Yup." Rafe said. "I had several really good applicants. I think we are going to have a really great team here, and once we get through all the paperwork; Jordan can start training. When we get back we can make sure everyone knows what they need to be doing before the grand opening on the third."

"Yes. You two have done a great job here. And speaking of the opening, where are Isabel and Ashley?" Natalia asked.

"They had a meeting with the food and beverage vender, they should be back shortly. Oh, and Ashley wanted to know if you were hiring a banquet manager to help with the party."

"We will be hiring a banquet manager yes, however, I'd like Ashley and Isabel to continue as is for the opening and just allow the new banquet manager to shadow them, get a feel for how we like things done. Ma and I will go over all of that with them this evening."

Just as Rafe was about to say something else, there was a knock at the door. Looking up, the four were greeted with a very nervous looking Trinity. "Hi." She said with a shy wave.

"Hello Miss Page. Please, come in." Olivia said, standing from her seat and extending her hand to the young women. "You remember my wife Natalia, and these are our two eldest children, Ava and Rafe."

Trinity took her hand and gave a firm shake, trying desperately not to show how nervous she was. "Hi, it's nice to meet you both, and good seeing you again Mrs. Spencer-Rivera."

"You as well Miss. Page." Natalia said with a kind smile.

"Alright, I think that's our cue to get back to work little brother." Ava said as she too stood, kissing first Natalia's cheek and then Olivia's. "Well meet back up with you two later?"

"Of course. How about we plan to break for the day at six? We'll call out for dinner and meet you up in the penthouse." Olivia answered.

"Sounds good mom. Come on Rafe, time's a wasting." Rafe kissed both of his mother's goodbye and followed his sister out the door, closing it softly behind him.

"Miss. Page," Olivia began, but was cut off as another knock sounded. "Come in." She called out. Christian opened the door and peered inside. "Oh, hello Mr. Mills. Please, join us." She told him, gesturing to the seat next to Trinity.

"Actually," Natalia piped up. "Why don't we go down the hall to the conference room. I think we will all be more comfortable down there."

"That's a great idea. You three go ahead, I'll just grab what I need and meet you down there in a minute." Olivia answered.

Natalia led the two three doors down to one of the smaller conference rooms, taking a seat on one side of the table with Trinity and Christian each taking a seat across from her. Not two minutes later, Olivia came into the room carrying two large folders and four bottled waters. She took the seat next to her wife and laid the folders on the table in front of her.

"Alright. Now, I'm sure the two of you are wondering why we've called you both down here together."

"Yes ma'am." Christian said as Trinity nodded.

"Well, we would like to offer you both the position of general manager."

Christian wrinkled his brow in confusion. "Both of us? Don't you generally only need one?"

"Yes, that's usually true. However, Natalia and I have decided that since this hotel is our largest as well as the farthest one from our home, we think it would be best if the two of you were co general managers. You both showed amazing potential in your interviews, and we think that you two together would make an excellent team. We will separate the responsibilities of general manager between you as well as hire a shared assistant. So, what do you think?"

Trinity bit her lip as she thought about the offer. She really wanted the position as general manager and had researched Olivia Spencer quite a bit. She knew that getting in at one of her hotels could set her career up for life. Olivia may have just started to expand her business, but she is well known in the business world. She would be a fool not to take the offer being given to her, even if it was a shared position.

Instead of jumping at the chance, she decided to try and sound a little less eager. "How exactly would that work?"

Olivia looked to Natalia to answer, who did without pause. She explained that they would divide the general manager responsibilities between them, giving each of them jobs they thought would suit them best. As in one dealing with staff meetings while the other would handle inventory and ordering. Laying out exactly what would be expected of each of them in detail and explaining how their shared assistant would work. She also informed that they would be reassigning responsibilities every so often to make sure they both has equal opportunity to cover all areas of a general manager position. When she was done, she looked toward Olivia, silently asking if she had anything to add.

Olivia was very impressed with her wife at the moment. Under the table, she placed a hand on her thigh and traced upwards, stopping just short of inappropriate. Natalia in business mode always turned her in. She shook her head, letting Natalia know she had covered everything there was for the moment.

Olivia handed Trinity and Christian each one of the folders she had brought in with her. "This is each of your job descriptions, just a little more detailed then what Natalia laid out for you, as well as our offer for salary and benefits. If you could each look these over, we would like for you to get back to us no later than tomorrow evening on whether or not you accept."

"I don't need until tomorrow. I'd like to accept your offer." Trinity said proudly. "It would be an honor to be a part of this team."

"Great. There are several pages you'll need to sign; those areas are highlighted. As soon as that's done, I'll send this over to our human resource department."

Trinity was already scanning the packet in front of her. She signed the first of several pages and flipped to the next one. "I can do that."

"Mr. Mills, will you need some time to think about it?"

"Please, call me Christian Mrs. Spencer-Rivera, and no, I'd like to accept as well." He stated with a charming smile. "I think Miss. Page and I will make an excellent team."

"I as well. The same goes for you. Read and sign. We'll need the two of you back at seven in the morning to complete the rest of the necessary paperwork with Marissa from human resources who will be flying in later this evening. Once that's complete, we would like to start training the two of you. We still need to hire the rest of our management team, and we would like you to sit in on that. Us, along with our children will be flying home on Sunday and won't be back until Tuesday evening. We would like to get you two to a point over the next few days that we can leave you with some tasks to complete while we tend to a family matter back home. The grand opening is eleven days away and there is still a great deal to complete. We're dropping you into the deep end here. I expect you both to rise to the occasion." Olivia stated with conviction, letting a little bit of the terror of the Beacon peak through. Making certain her new gm's knew that she was not to be messed with.

"Yes ma'am. I, we, won't let you down." Christian said, looking over at Trinity who nodded.

"Yes Mrs. And Mrs. Spencer-Rivera. I'm looking forward to getting started and helping you and your family to get this hotel up and running." Trinity agreed, handing back the file with a smile.

"Good. That's what I like to hear." Christian handed back his file as well. "If neither of you have any further questions, we'll see you both bright and early tomorrow morning." She stood and extended her hand, fist to Christian and then to Trinity with Natalia following suit.

"Have a lovely evening ladies." Christian said as he grabbed his bag and headed for the door.

"Yes, enjoy the rest of your afternoon and thanks again for the opportunity." Trinity said with a smile as she followed Christian towards the door.

Once they were gone, Natalia turned to her wife. "I think that went well."

Olivia brought her wife into her arms and kissed her with passion. "You were wonderful sweetheart. And I really think those two will be the perfect team for our latest hotel once they get a feel for one another."

"As long as they don't start out the way we did, they should be fine." Natalia said with a fond smile as she flashed back to the many fights she and Olivia had had in the beginning.

"Well, I'm pretty sure Trinity bats for our team, so sexual tension shouldn't be a problem for them." Olivia shot back.

"What? You think our fights were due to sexual frustration?"

"Well, I mean, have you looked at you?"

"Honey, you didn't even know you were gay when we first met."

"Maybe I just wanted you to think that." Olivia responded with a nip to Natalia's bottom lip.

"Mmmhmm, and you trying to steal my husband was just a cover?" Natalia said, crossing her arms around Olivia's neck and resting them on her shoulders.

"Yup. exactly. I was so attracted to you that I had no choice but to try and throw you off and push you away by stealing your husband and picking pointless fights."

"Mmmhmm." Natalia drawled sarcastically. "I'm sure." She kissed her lovers lips and then stepped out of her arms, taking her hand, and leading her back to the office they were using. "Come on my love, we still have work to do and managers to hire."

The two spent the next hour going over the management applicants and compiling a list of those they thought would suit their needs. Once complete, they took a short lunch break before calling to schedule interviews the following day. By the time they finished, both women were mentally exhausted, but they still hand plenty to do. They needed to set up meetings with their venders and make certain their kitchen, bar, and laundry room would be fully stocked before the end of the week. Lastly they placed a call to both chefs applying asking them to come in on Thursday for a taste testing to decide who would get the position as executive chef.

When finally, six o'clock rolled around, their schedule for the remainder of the week was set and they were more than ready to meet with their children, as well as Ashley and Isabel, for dinner and sleep. It had been a busy day, but both women felt accomplished and couldn't wait to hear how their children had done with hiring and how Isabel and Ashley were coming along with the party planning.

Taking the elevator up to their penthouse, they were pleasantly surprised to see that all four of the younger adults were already there and had ordered dinner from the Tia restaurant down the street. The two took their seats at the table and let out audible matching sighs at finally being able to relax.

"Hey Natalia, Olivia, long day?" Isabel asked.

"Yes, very, but also productive. We filled the GM position and have interviews in place for most of the day tomorrow to get the rest of the management team in place." Olivia answered, reaching for one of the takeout containers.

"That's awesome. I'm glad things are falling into place." Ashley said. "Isabel and I had our final meeting with the food and beverage vender, they are prepared to meet with the two of you on Thursday so we can get a menu finalized and start ordering for the kitchen and bar."

"That's good to hear. Tomorrow I need for you to see about getting some things gathered together for the taste testing with the two-gentleman vying for the position of executive chef. Reminding me, Thursday, I'd like you all to be available around noon. We would like your input in deciding on a chef. They will be preparing us a four-course lunch with each of them cooking two of the course and then both will prepare a desert."

"So, kind of like a cook off?" Isabel asked.

"Exactly like a cook off."

"Mom, are you allowing the chef to hire their own kitchen staff?" Ava asked.

"Maybe. I've done some research. Palo has a sous chef that has been with him at his last two kitchens, I assume they come as a team, as for the rest of the kitchen, we'll have to wait and see. Wan, at the Beacon Chicago, insisted on hiring his own staff, and, since I trusted him as a chef, having known and cooked with him in the past, I allowed it, however, I hired the entire staff, including sous chef, at the Beacon Springfield. It all depends. Jason Arras is fairly well known in this area, however, he's only two years out of culinary school. That's why we've decided to go this route in choosing who will be the executive chef here."

Natalia nodded and kissed her wife's cheek. "Alright, that's enough work talk at the dinner table. Let's all enjoy this time together; we can talk shop more after we eat."

Everyone agreed and they finished dinner with no talk of work, instead focusing on their family, everyone was missing Clara and Emma. It was weird to not have them with them. Ashley gossiped about her mom and Blake's new romance and how happy she was that her mom was finally being herself. Which Olivia had plenty of comments on.

When they finished, they all sat in the living room sipping wine or soda while they discussed what was happening with the grand opening, what needed to be completed throughout the week, and the plan for the following week after Rafe's hearing.

Eventually all six of them were yawning and struggling to stay awake. Olivia and Natalia were the first to bid them good night, giving both of their children kisses on the cheek before heading for their room. Not long after, the rest of them followed suit with Rafe taking the couch and allowing Isabel to stay in Emma's room where he had been before the moms arrived.

Olivia finished with her nightly routine and joined her wife, who was already laying with her eyes closed, in the bed. The two migrated to the middle and wrapped their arms around each other with ease. Olivia kissed Natalia's head and held her tightly against her.

"God it feels good to be lying down."

"Mm. Did you take your pills?" Natalia asked sleepily.

"Yes dear, and I brushed my teeth too." Olivia responded cheekily.

Natalia was barely able to rise her head and give her wife a playful glare, but, she did it. "You're lucky I'm so tired."

"Oh. Why is that?"

"Because I don't have the energy to reprimand you for being so cheeky."

"You love it."

"Maybe." Natalia said with a smile in her voice. "I certainly love you."

"Mm, and I love you." Olivia bent her head and sealed their lips together in a sleepy but still love filled kiss. This kiss was for her vast appreciation for her wife and all that she does.
