Home Is Where The Girl Is

Chapter 12 - (not finished)

A New Found Hunger

It was late morning when hunger and thirst finally dragged the newfound lovers out of bed. Inside the kitchen, the two were busy making a quick lunch for themselves. Standing at the counter Jenny assembled several small pieces of meat and cheese while Vastra prepared a large pot of tea next to her. Casually watching the well educated woman, who had not yet mastered the technique of making fine British tea without burning herself, smiled as the warrior sucked the pain out of her index finger.

Since very little had been said since they left the bedchambers, the dark haired beauty decided it was time to break the silence. Without slowing her pace in making the adorable snacks that her employer loved, the former match girl asked, "How long have you been suppressing your desire for me?"

Still waving her slightly burnt finger in the air, the green scaled woman replied flatly also without skipping a beat of her tea endeavors. "What for you?" The woman's blue eyes absentmindedly rolled before adding, "I hardly noticed your presence."

Knowing her employer was taunting her, the dark hair beauty boldly untied her robe and opened one side to reveal the bare skin beneath it. Striking a pose with her hand cocked on her hip, she felt the provocative site would be too much for the well educated woman.

Strategically countering, believing she would gain the upper hand, Vastra barely glanced at the soft pink skin that surrounded the erect nipple as she placed a large bowl of fruit on the tray next to former match girl. "Didn't notice."

Sandblasted by her placid comment, the young maiden collected her confidence and re-wrapped herself in the robe. Turning her back on the Silurian, the human declared, "Then I guess you won't miss them if you never seen them again."

Realizing that she had quickly lost that battle, the prestigious Victorian engulfed her new lover in her arms. Placing apologetic kisses all over her neck and face, the reptilian playfully pleaded, "No. No, you don't want to do that."

"Why not?" snapped the assistant pretending to be hurt.

Relishing the image, the skillful hunter struggled to find the appropriate answer. Sticking out her bottom lip the reptilian playfully pouted as she eyed up the tightly wrapped woman. "They would miss my touch."

"I thought you hardly noticed them, so you shouldn't miss them, when they are gone."

Allowing her finger to slyly pry open the robe, Vastra attempted to apply logic. "Well now that I have seen that lovely breast of yours…"

Playfully knocking the hand away Jenny snapped, "I have two of them you know."

Pressing the woman against the kitchen counter, the Silurian opened the robe enough to completely expose both her companion's pink breasts. "Yes I absolutely do know, and I promise I will never forget that." The matriarch took turns passionately kissing each mound as she lifted the maiden off the ground and onto the counter. Ignoring the squeal from the former match girl, the reptilian was quick to make sure her apology was thoroughly accepted by her new lover and based on the vocalization coming from Jenny, it was working.

After a few moments of enticing pleasure, the human gently lifted the Silurian's eyes to meet hers. As sincere as possible, her tone and eyes apologized as well, "They are a little sore."

Stroking the hair out of her servant's face, the affluent mentor knew that Jenny's body had to be more than a little sore after their short, yet vigorous time together. The curvaceous reptilian smiled warmly. "Of course my dear." Offering to change the subject ever faster was when her stomach growled loudly.

In unison the two shadowed, "Food."

The rest of the day dragged wonderfully slow for both women as they spent the rest of their time in front of the largest window in the cottage. Accompanying the entertaining view, that overlooked a large field, was a sustaining yet gentle rainstorm. Long gone was the tray of food that had been prepared earlier. All that remained now was a quarter pot of cold tea and a few grapes in the fruit bowl that sat on the empty platter behind them.

Draping the lover's bare skin was Vastra's exquisite red velvet duvet which laid across a massive opium couch the matriarch had especially made for the cottage. The oversized couch/bed was too large for her home in London and not long ago was the First Opium War, in which the British defeated China, the mysterious piece of furniture brought too many sensitive questions. And although the fearless investigator would never use the finely crafted couch for its intended use, she greatly admired her ability to stretch out on the five feet wide by nine feet long elevated platform. The handcrafted chaise was a guilty pleasure as it was an ideal place to lounge about especially with the small army of pillows the Victorian had tossed about it.

It was the perfect way to spend the rainy day after the exhausting evening and morning the last twenty four hours had been for the two lovers. Later that afternoon, the two woke holding each other with their fingers intertwined. Vastra's arms and legs were still wrapped around her lover, mostly to make the girl feel safe and partially as the reptilian loved the body warmth the human gave off; well that is once she got warm. Briefly sharing a smile, Jenny returned her head to the gentle rise and fall of her teacher's chest.

It felt so nice for the match girl to be snuggled next to the woman she was absolutely head over heels in love with. For weeks she had to watch her from afar, suppressing how she truly felt about the ancient lizard woman. Time and time again she tried to convince herself of an impossible relationship with the woman most of London adored; whether they knew it or not. In her mind, there was not a thing the fearless investigator could not do. No matter how the internal argument went, it always ended the same, how could she not fall in love with the prestigious Victorian she admired most.

Drifting in and out of conscious Jenny Flint never felt happier as she laid against her lover's bare chest. Studying their intertwined bodies and hands, she couldn't believe how different, yet similar she felt with her companion. Her pale skin clashed vibrantly against the green scales as mild thunder sounded in the distance. Pressing impossibly closer to her lover, the former match girl's mind began to wander.

A small chuckle escaped the young maiden's chest.

Amused by the sweet sound, the developed woman asked, "What is it my dear?"

Hoping her doe eyes would capture the warrior's soul, the eager student revealed, "It's been three days since I've had instruction, yet my body is still recovering from…" The maiden blushed before adding, "…your physical demands."

Lifting the pale chin with her finger, the affluent mentor asked, "Does that bother you?"

Pulling the hand down to her chest and holding it as close as possible, the maiden melted into her arms, "I wouldn't want it any other way Miss."

Pulling the impeccable duvet up around her face, the willing servant divulged, "I love this blanket."

"Duvet"

Slightly embarrassed, Jenny repeated the word correctly with the proper accent, "Duvet, of course."

Gliding her large hand over the divine fabric, the affluent mentor paused as her tongue flickered several times taking in the smell of the comforter.

Repeating the human version of the inhalation, only closer to her face, the street smart girl said, "Of course it does smell like sex."

"Hey I like the way you smell."

Furrowing her brow, the former match girl shot back, "You soiled the blanket too."

"It's called a duvet."

"I know what it's called Madame Vastra. Besides what do you mean you like my smell?"

Taking in another deep breathe, the Silurian explained, "You remind me of a….mmm….a peach."

"A peach?!"

"Yes a peach. They are soft, plump and very succulent. I love how the juices flow down my arms…"

"Vastra!" was all the dark hair beauty could get out in time, preventing the reptilian from going any further.

Confused by Jenny's sudden outburst, the eloquent speaker continued anyway, "You remind me of a warm peach, freshly plucked from its branch on a sunny afternoon."

Stunned by the reptilian's boldness, the cockney accent faded from her next retaliating statement, "How tawdry." Presumptuous – self confident / Pretentious – snobbish - conceited of you."

Equally shocked, the matriarch turned her head and questioned with great interests, "How do you know that word?"

Donning a smug expression, Jenny shot back without thinking, "I must have picked it up from my new toffer of a girl friend."

Madame Vastra knew that the slang term meant a high class prostitute, but she never imagined Jenny of all people would refer to her as one.

The playfulness disappeared from ancient warrior's face as she instantly became solemn.

The abrupt lull frightened the former match girl. Fearful she had just insulted the matriarch she admired most by using a word too vulgar for her cultured liking. Biting on her bottom lip, Jenny worried if it had been her use of the word 'girl friend'. Perhaps it was her implication that she was taken that offended the prestigious Victorian. Before Jenny was able to collect more clues as to what suddenly silenced her friend, the Silurian quickly dismissed herself from the room. Cross armed, Jenny blasted herself for ruining the moment.

To her surprise the Silurian returned a few minutes later fully dressed. With her coat in hand, the mistress disclosed, "I am going hunting."

Partially draped by the red velvet cover, Jenny questioned, "After the weather we had today?"

Briefly glancing out the window, where the rain had stopped some time ago, the matriarch stated flatly as she hurriedly donned her gloves, "Yes, it shalt not be a problem."

Trying to both convince her lover to stay and apologize, the maiden pleaded, "But all the scent trails have been washed away."

Continuing to be diligent that she was going hunting, Vastra simply informed the naked woman in a tone that was as cold as her skin could be at times, "I will find new ones."

To the heart breaking human, she felt that the Silurian would use any excuse she could find to escape the cottage all of the sudden. With a dash, the door closed behind her and Jenny was left standing alone; surrounded by only the fine red velvet duvet.

Suddenly unable to stand on her own, the long hair beauty collapsed on the enormous couch. Struggling to contain her emotions, the dark hair beauty stared at the ceiling hoping that would control the brewing storm within. But as Jenny's mind raced to the image of Vastra abruptly leaving, it was convincingly more than the young maiden could handle. With her next ragged breath, tears poured uncontrollably down her face. Gripping the only piece of the lizard woman left, the crying girl buried her face in the duvet; the two were sharing intimately only moments before.
