A/N: Again, don't read this at work. :)
The next chapter will be the last, unless I decide to come back to the story later. I am truly grateful for ALL of the reviews and I hope everyone has enjoyed the story. I have another idea in my head that I will probably write next. It will be a short story about McElliot, delving into the visit after the knicker convo with Gillian, which should hopefully make you all very happy. :)
Chapter 27: Just the Two of Us
It had been a busy Monday at school for Caroline, but she had worked diligently all day to ensure she could leave at 4pm sharp. She had made surprise reservations for her and Fiona at the new French restaurant in town, craving an adult outing for the two of them to enjoy each other's company.
Celia and Alan had agreed to keep Flora, giving the women the whole night to themselves. When she had spoken to her mother that morning she made her swear she wouldn't tell Fiona of her plans. Celia happily obliged, agreeing that the two were due for a night on their own. She knew Clare had taken a few days off, meaning Emma would be staying home with her.
Just as the clock struck 4 Caroline closed her computer and collected her things to leave for the day. She walked out of her office and into Beverly's, bidding farewell to her PA as she left.
"Alright Beverly, I'm off. Don't stay too late and have a good evening. I'll see you in the morning." She smiled as she stood at Beverly's desk, digging for her keys in her purse.
"Yes ma'am," Beverly said with a salute and cheeky grin after.
"You and Fiona have a nice night too Caroline. I want to know how the restaurant is in the morning." She smiles to her boss, who returns the gesture, before waving and heading out the door.
oOo
Twenty minutes later Caroline pulled into the drive at home. She was relieved to find that traffic had been a little lighter than usual, saving her 10 minutes travel in the end. She walked in the front door, depositing her things in their usual spot before heading off to the kitchen.
When she walked into the room she could see Fiona through the window on the opposite side of the garden. She was bent over the rose bushes, a wide hat on her head, garden gloves covering her hands. She wore a purple sleeveless shirt and a pair of grey knit trousers that were cut off just below the knee. Caroline smiled to herself at the sight and walked to the back door, switching her heels for the pair of sandals sitting next to it. She took off her blazer, leaving her in a tan pencil skirt and pale blue sleeveless blouse.
She walked across the lawn, silently admiring Fiona as she worked. Fiona was oblivious to her approach and continued pruning the bushes, bent over at the waist, her trousers pulling taut across her back side. Caroline bit her lip as she watched, the sight of Fiona's shapely derriere always igniting a warm buzz in her stomach.
After observing in appreciation for a few moments, she walked up behind her, cupped her bum with a squeeze and leaned in for a kiss on the back of Fiona's neck. Fiona squeaked in surprise and quickly turned around.
"Jesus Caroline, you scared me!" she blurted as she held her hand to her chest.
"I'm sorry darling, it was just too irresistible not to touch," Caroline purrs, pulling at the hem of Fiona's shirt, coaxing her to step in for a kiss. Fiona wipes her face with the back of her arm then leans in, smiling seductively, for a sexy kiss. Caroline pulls away slowly, licking her lips, savoring the hint of saltiness from Fiona's mouth.
"My, you are quite sweaty. You must have been working awfully hard," she teases. Fiona sets down her shears and quickly grabs Caroline, who struggles to get free, giggling as she does. Fiona wins out and pulls her in close then kisses her deeply, obviously conveying her growing pleasure. Caroline stops struggling and leans in to the kiss, her tongue teasing for entry to Fiona's mouth. After a good snog they finally pull apart, both breathing a little heavier than before.
"Mmm, that was a nice welcome home. Now, I need you to come inside and wash up. I'm taking you to dinner; reservations are at 6, so that gives you about 45 minutes to get ready." She releases Fiona's waist and takes a step back, gesturing toward the house.
"I've got a gig tonight Caroline, remember?" Fiona replies.
"I know, that's why we are eating early. Then I'm going to your gig with you, unless of course, you object." She smiles, giving a devilish wink.
"Why on Earth would I object? I haven't gotten to show you off in a while." Fiona smiles happily in return, leaning in to kiss Caroline's cheek.
"Get a move on then, I've got to get changed myself." She grips Fiona's arms and turns her toward the house, smacking her bottom as she walks in front of her. Fiona smiles over her shoulder and walks faster to the back door.
oOo
The couple is escorted to a private booth in the far corner of the restaurant. Fiona smiles excitedly to Caroline as they sit, feeling rather special at the attention she is receiving. The waiter comes around and Caroline orders a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc and a Nicoise salad for each of them to start.
"You are spoiling me," Fiona says, reaching across the table to take Caroline's hand.
"That's the plan." Caroline replies with a smile and wink.
The wine and salads are delivered and the waiter takes their dinner order, Caroline opting for the Sole Meuniere, Fiona the Duck a l'Orange. After finishing their salads, Fiona slides around the booth, sitting closer to Caroline. Caroline pours another glass of wine for each, as they sit enjoying each other's company.
"Caroline, this is such a lovely evening. Thank you for the wonderful surprise."
"I'm glad you like it. I want to take care of you Fiona, show you how special you are to me. I've not been so good at that in the past, so I want to be better this time around." She takes Fiona's hand, lacing their fingers together, before pulling it to her mouth for a soft kiss.
"Well, you are doing a damn good job right now," she replies with a smile, kissing Caroline's hand in return.
The meal is delivered and consumed, each sharing bites with the other. Caroline orders crème brulee for dessert, knowing it is one of Fiona's favorites. She takes only one bite, giving the rest to Fiona to enjoy. She watches Fiona as she consumes the dessert, her eyes closed in pleasure. Caroline smiles and feels herself growing aroused as she watches Fiona savor each bite.
While Fiona's eyes are closed Caroline slips a hand under the table, placing it on Fiona's knee then slowly sliding it up the inside of her thigh. Fiona's eyes open and she inhales sharply as she looks over to Caroline, her arousal reflecting in her eyes. Caroline circles slowly as she draws ever closer to Fiona's sex. Electric heat runs through them both, as they continue to hold eye contact. They are interrupted by the waiter who comes to make his final check, then returning with the bill shortly after. Caroline removes her hand and leans in to Fiona's ear.
"Don't worry, we'll finish this later," she whispers, causing a shiver to run down Fiona's body and her stomach to flutter wildly with desire.
After the bill is settled, they make their departure and head over to The Emerald Room for Fiona's show.
oOo
It is Fiona's last set and Caroline sits mesmerized, basking in the hypnotizing voice of her soon to be wife. Fiona finishes the song and replaces the microphone on the stand and addresses the crowd.
"I want to thank you all of coming tonight, you've been a lovely crowd. I'd like to dedicate this last song to someone very special." She looks to Caroline and smiles warmly.
"This one is for you, darling. I love you." The music begins and Caroline smiles as she recognizes the melody. Fiona's sings Besame Mucho, her low husky voice elevating Caroline's arousal even higher. The two women share an intimate eye contact as she sings, shock waves of desire shooting between their gaze. The song comes to a close and the crowd claps exuberantly as Fiona makes her final bow.
Fiona and Caroline bid farewell to Brian then pick up their car at the valet to head home. The ride home is mostly quiet, each woman working to keep their stimulation at bay until they get safely within the house.
oOo
Caroline opens the front door, stepping aside to let Fiona enter. Fiona walks in the entry, placing her purse and coat on the hook, Caroline doing the same just behind her. As Caroline turns to close the door, Fiona walks up behind her, slipping an arm just under Caroline's breasts, using the other hand to brush the hair from Caroline's neck, before planting a hot wet kiss just under Caroline's ear.
Caroline leans into the contact, placing her hand on the back of Fiona's head. After a few moments she turns around in Fiona's arm leaning against the front door, to marry their lips in a fiery kiss. As they kiss, the passion growing hotter, Caroline drops her hands and runs them up the back of Fiona's thighs under her dress, pulling her in closer to feel her body against her. Fiona steps forward, taking Caroline's face into her hands, as she thrusts her tongue hungrily into Caroline's mouth. Caroline moans with delight as their tongues collide, gracefully interacting between them. Fiona finally pulls away, each woman breathing heavy with desire, hunger raging in their eyes.
Caroline takes Fiona's hand, guiding her upstairs to the bedroom. She sits on the bed and Fiona stands before her, as she pulls her own dress off, casting it to the floor. Caroline watches in anticipation, savoring the view as the hem moves ever higher. Once she's removed her bra as well, Fiona steps forward and straddles Caroline's legs, sitting on her lap to face her.
"Mmm, you are exquisite Fiona," Caroline breathily declares as Fiona sits down.
She wraps her arms around Caroline's neck as Caroline moves to grab Fiona's backside. They kiss with such passion they both see stars. Suddenly, Caroline stands up, lifting Fiona up as she does. Fiona gasps at the unexpected motion, Caroline's unanticipated strength turning her on even more. Caroline leans into the bed, laying Fiona down slowly. She stands and removes her clothes as Fiona watches on in eagerness.
"God Caroline, you are so fucking sexy." Fiona says as she pulls Caroline down on top of her. Caroline's searing kiss moves hungrily from Fiona's mouth, down her neck and to her chest. She pauses for a brief moment kissing between Fiona's breasts as her hands come up to cup them, gently tugging at her nipples. A soft moan spills from Fiona's mouth as Caroline kisses her way from one nipple to the next, sucking and flicking gently as she takes each into her mouth.
Caroline's kisses continue their path, exploring further down Fiona's body. Fiona's moans grow louder as she feels Caroline grab her hips, slipping her underwear off slowly, trailing kisses down her leg as she goes. Caroline slides off the end of the bed and kneels down as she runs her hands up the inside of Fiona's thighs, gently pushing her legs apart.
Fiona shifts her body closer to the edge of the bed just as Caroline's mouth takes in her sex. Fiona exhales with a low growl, reaching forward to lace her fingers into Caroline's hair. Caroline works slowly, licking and sucking Fiona, drawing more moans of pleasure. She feels Fiona's grip tighten in her hair as her back arches off of the bed.
"Shit…I'm coming," Fiona screams as the orgasm hits, bucking hard into Caroline's mouth. Caroline thrusts her tongue inside Fiona, sending another jolt through her body. She slows down her movements then comes to a stop, pulling away in satisfaction. Fiona has gone limp and lies panting, recovering from the overwhelming pleasure she has just experienced. Caroline sits admiring her beauty.
"Come here you," Fiona finally says, as she sits up, pulling Caroline onto the bed next to her. She kisses Caroline, biting her bottom lip before pulling away. They lay on their sides facing each other.
"My god, do you know how to please me." She sighs as she looks contentedly into Caroline's eyes.
"I told you, I want to take care of you." Caroline says with a smile before leaning in for another kiss.
"Yes, and I told you the same and that is exactly what I intend to do." She leans down taking Caroline's nipple into her mouth, Caroline sighing with pleasure. Her right hand moves slowly down Caroline's side, her touch so light it leaves goosebumps in its wake.
Caroline moans and rolls onto her back, giving Fiona full access to her body. Fiona leans in, trailing wet kisses from Caroline's breasts down her stomach to her hip. She takes a playful nip at Caroline's side, on the spot she knows tickles her. Caroline jumps and moans with a soft laugh, grabbing Fiona's head with her right hand, guiding her face back to meet her. They continue kissing passionately as Fiona's hand moves between Caroline's legs.
She traces feather light circles around Caroline's clit, coaxing more wetness from her body. Caroline moans louder and begins to move her hips against Fiona's hand. Fiona dips down and slips two fingers inside, Caroline grabbing the duvet beneath her. They continue kissing as Fiona's thrusts move deeper, growing more rapid in pace. Caroline's grip tightens with her growing pleasure and Fiona slips a third finger inside.
Caroline rises onto her elbows as her orgasm sends her over the edge, screaming Fiona's name. Fiona smiles with delight as she continues to thrust inside Caroline, quickly bringing her to a second climax. Caroline collapses onto the bed and Fiona slows down, eventually removing her hand.
"That was fucking amazing." Caroline finally says, exhaling loudly with a laugh.
"Good." Fiona replies, smiling from ear to ear.
The two women crawl up to the pillows on the bed, but both are too spent to slip under the duvet. They snuggle closely and drift off to sleep, their bodies entwined, and smiles still on their faces.
