A/N: And the time has come to bring another story to a close.
It's been a wild ride with ALL OF YOU for these two colossal tales. It seems appropriate that they are both my longest stories to date.
Cannot foresee length in future projects, but I guarantee you the level of quality that I tried to build over the years.
Speaking of which, the next story is on its way! It will be very different but also a bit familiar. It will make sense when you see it. Unfortunately, I can't give a time frame for the publish right now. Still entrenched in research and writing. I really want this to be great!
There is also another jumbo-sized story I've got cooking but that's still in the early stages and won't be ready at least until sometime next year.
TAKE CARE!
"OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!"
Tori's head was pressed against the headboard, her back arching in reflex. A soft hand gently pressed on her stomach as if to keep her from floating away.
The Latina's whole body shuddered as she released a throaty scream.
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!
Her hands gripped tightly to the sheets as her head rested on its side. Tori looked like she jumped out of an airplane and was entangled in her parachute.
Jade's face emerged from the warm, wet wonderland between Tori's thighs and grinned.
"How was that?" she asked.
"Oh, baby..." Tori swallowed, wiping sweat from her brow. "You're...fuck...you're really improving!"
The pale woman grabbed hold of thick tan thighs and drew them closer, making the former goth gasp. It made her so wet how soft Tori was. She was already a knockout back in the day to most people, but this more mature Tori was a far cry from that. That skinny bitch was nice and all for a girl, but Jade preferred the "mommy" in her bed.
"It's easy when it's my little hideaway," Jade admitted. "I could stay down here forever."
Tori frowned.
"No, no, that won't do! Then I would never see your face."
Jade bit her lip and scooted up some and rested her chin on Tori's soft belly.
"You mean that?"
Tori ran her fingers through her girlfriend's dark hair.
"Being deprived of those sweet eyes and those perfect lips would be unfair."
Jade giggled as she kissed her stomach, really pressing her face into her giving flesh. Her delicate fingers couldn't help but tickle Tori's sides, also appreciating her supple form. Tori blushed from the adoration, Jade making her feel like she was beautiful. She wasn't sure what her own opinion was right now; Tori hadn't dwelled on it for a while. Looking into Jade's hungry eyes was all the truth she needed.
Tori only wished this vixen understood what she meant to her.
The educator took hold of the lithe author and pulled her up in a flash, their eyes meeting.
"Hey!" Jade chuckled. "What was that for?"
"So I could do this," Tori smirked.
Jade made a subtle "eep" when a determined pair of hands squeezed her ass.
"Excuse you!"
The former goth relaxed her arms and allowed herself to lower, pressing her round breasts against Tori's larger ones. Laying on her back, the mounds of flesh responded to gravity. But every tiny movement made them ripple, which drove Jade wild. She adjusted herself so she could take one of Tori's boobs and suck on it. Tori just moaned with calm delight while stroking her hair.
(Not being the biggest set of tits in the room has its benefits.)
This was the last night that they were going to be in the house all alone. The following evening, the girls would be here and that meant the two lovers needed to make less of a raucous when they have sex.
Tori's folks came by to help with the move and then have a nice dinner at Jade's tomorrow night when it was all finished. The grandparents and the teens slept in the living room like they were camping. Holly and Alice even showed their goofball minds could sync up by taking several blankets and constructing a makeshift tent. Mia and her grandpa acted like they were bemused by the whole thing but deep down, they loved the idea.
Little by little, over the course of weeks, they packed whatever Mia and Tori had wanted to bring to Jade's place into boxes. It was mainly personal items as they had no need for any of the furniture, save for Mia's bedroom set. That worked out, as only Andre and Trina would occupy this space and it already had a master bedroom set.
David Vega volunteered to drive the U-Haul rental to Jade's house. Once that showed up the other day, so began the chain of helpers shunting box after box to the ground floor to load the 16' truck. Tori's dad took about ten minutes to figure out how the lift gate worked to make loading easier. The real struggle was moving out Mia's bed and other large items. It was amusing listening to Miles and David go back and forth carrying a chest of drawers downstairs. Originally, Jade offered to buy Mia a new set but Tori told her that her father got her that set. She only had to upgrade the frame as she grew up. The pale woman nodded and offered to help take the bed apart to make moving it less difficult.
Meanwhile the two moms spent the better part of the day getting things ready in the house to facilitate the move so the first floor wouldn't be a mess of boxes. Jade made space for Tori's things in the bedroom as well as her office. When they needed a quiet space to write or go through paperwork, the girlfriends could retreat into the furnished sanctum. Tori helped clean around the house, not just for company but also to make sure Mia's new bedroom was ready to move into.
When all was said and done, they settled into their bedroom for some sexy time and snuggled to sleep.
The following morning, the couple got up bright and early to surprise the four with donuts and coffee.
"Sorry breakfast is a little informal," Jade grinned. "But I didn't want anyone worried about dishes today. Besides I will make it up to you all at dinner!"
"Trust me," Tori assured her parents. "I've seen this woman do Thanksgiving. You owe it to yourselves to have her cook you dinner."
Tori gave Trina a set of keys to the building but kept her own in case of emergencies.
Tori and the girls went in her car, with Holly right behind them with a few last second items like clothes cleaned from the day before. They both followed the moving van driven by David with Jade riding shotgun to give directions.
"Thanks for giving us a hand with everything today," Jade told David.
He smirked.
"It's my pleasure. And thank you by the way."
The writer blinked at how that came from nowhere.
"For what?" she chuckled.
"For being there for my daughter. She was in a bad place, and you made her feel loved again. I hate that piece of shit who took Sam away from her. From us. But I'm so glad you came to pick up the pieces and help make that family whole, even embracing my granddaughter like she was one of your kids."
Jade blushed at just how real he was being right now. They never really had a one on one like this before, so figured he would take the opportunity of having several minutes all alone.
"I also want you to know," David added. "That we extend that same sentiment, Jade. You're like a daughter in our eyes, too."
"I'm glad you didn't think this was a quick fling or something. I was worried about those feelings at first, you know. But it took time before we realized that we were all in."
He nodded, seeing how this relationship was a year in the making, and they have been romantically involved for months, having been through a lot. Jade was hurt, too. He gathered what happened in broad strokes but understood that her and her ex-husband are on better terms nowadays.
David chuckled to himself.
"I know a lot of people say this ironically, referring to two unpleasant people who are stuck together. But I mean it in the best possible way when I say that you and Tori deserve each other."
She bit her lip.
"You're gonna make me cry, Mr. Vega."
"I'll give you something to cry about if you don't start calling me dad."
Her eyes darted to the playful grin on the older man.
"Love you, too...dad."
Jade had her vehicle parked in the street so David could pull the U-Haul in.
She got out of the truck, observing the picture of a buffalo overlooking the open spaces of Wyoming.
(Come on, U-Haul. We all know the stereotype, but I don't care. Give me ONE truck with a painting of two women moving in together.)
They loaded everything into the house, being careful not to bump and scratch into the doorframes on their travels. Mia stepped into the site of her new chambers and indeed, it was bigger than her old digs. Even the closet was larger. The teen walked inside and turned to the right, seeing there was even more space.
(Sweet!)
She imagined putting the bed on the side by the window, nightstand right next to it. Chest of drawers would go into the one corner. Mia purposefully arranged everything to be along the walls of the bedroom, leaving an open area in the middle. Jade asked her what she wanted to do with all that space. Mia just shrugged and said she just wanted it to have it. Maybe it could be for practicing dancing. Maybe she could have room for her friends to sleep over. Sky's the limit.
There was actually so much room, Tori asked Mia is she would like a desk. Maybe her own computer to go with it? The tan girl nodded with a smile and the fam decided to go to the mall this weekend and look around furniture and electronics stores. Jade insisted that she would take care of everything.
Tori pulled her girlfriend aside into another room.
"Babe, are you sure? That's a lot of money."
"Nonsense," the pale scribe smiled.
The Latina rubbed her forehead.
"Jade, I'm curious...how rich are you?"
The dark-haired beauty wavered a little in her stance. She was never a fan of discussing money, but she knew such secrets oughtn't be kept in a relationship.
"Let's just say...My recent book is doing gangbusters."
Tori raised a brow.
"How good?"
"Six...figures good," Jade murmured.
The wind seemed to be knocked out of Tori. She had an inkling that Jade was successful, but she didn't know she was doing that well. As an educator, Tori had been stuck in the five figures for years. And not the higher end, mind you.
"Oh..." Tori breathed.
Jade hugged her.
"Sweetie, don't be that way. I was very lucky. So, my idea of appreciating my success is sharing it with the people I love."
"I'd better keep my day job, huh? Don't want rumors floating around you're some sugar mama."
Jade snorted.
"And here I was afraid of being labelled a pillow princess!"
"A what now?"
"You know," Jade shrugged. "A girl who takes but never gives."
In her research, Tori hadn't been as privy to the queer vernacular. Took her a long time to realize that she wasn't a top, or a bottom. Tori was a switch, and she was pretty sure Jade was too. She liked being on control when it was her turn to give but was eager to allow Tori to take charge when it was her time to receive pleasure.
"Last night proved that you are nothing like a pillow princess. You're just...Jade West."
"And what does that mean?" came a husky voice.
"That you never half-ass anything; that you go above and beyond."
"Sometimes below."
Jade licked her tan neck while a naughty finger made a perfect V over Tori's groin.
Tori gasped and kissed her, Jade's arms snaking around her waist to draw her in even closer.
"I love you!" the author said.
"I love you too," the principal smiled back.
The couple met up with the parents after...vanishing for a bit and finished the unloading of the truck.
Tori followed her dad when he returned the rental and they both drove back. When they were entering the house, smells were already emanating from the kitchen. The father and daughter could hear Jade and Holly laughing and chatting.
They quietly opened the door and went inside.
Jade was arranging chicken thighs into a pan while Holly was opposite her chopping vegetables on the island.
"What's all this?" David asked.
"Oh, nothing!" Jade smirked. "Just making a creamy Dijon chicken bake for dinner."
"And I'm working on the salad," Holly grinned, not looking up from what she was doing.
"Whoa!" Tori nodded, crossing her arms. "That sounds amazing."
"Smells amazing!" David added.
Once Jade was finished with the chicken itself, she added the other ingredients which were right beside her: onion, garlic, bacon, and of course Dijon mustard.
"And don't even think about that ice cream in the freezer, Miss Tori!"
That stopped the Latina, and she looked at her dad with a blush. He gave her a knowing nod.
(Welcome to that wifey life, kiddo!)
"Jade's already got dessert planned," Holly clarified. "She's baking a carrot cake..." looked up from the cutting board to her husband. "And you're gonna have some!"
"Wait a second!" David smiled. "I thought I wasn't supposed to have cake."
The writer put the pan into the oven and closed the door.
"The amount of fiber in this thing, wouldn't hurt for a man your age."
David's brow lifted.
"A man my age?"
Holly giggled at her daughter's girlfriend.
"Come on, pop!" teased Jade. "It's Rosie's old family recipe. I swear, it's delicious!"
"Dad was never a carrot cake guy," Tori said.
"Rosie used to say there were two people in this world: people who liked carrot cake and those that didn't try it!"
The Vega patriarch folded his arms with a grumble.
"Uh, come on!" Holly chuckled.
"What if I told you that the icing is so good, it's worth trying!"
That got the man intrigued.
"You think so?"
Jade sighed and retrieved a box of cream cheese out of the fridge and slammed it onto the counter so he could see.
"Oh yeah!"
"Alright, alright, I'll try a piece" David conceded.
"You'll enjoy a piece!" Jade corrected.
"Watch it, missy!" he pointed.
"Where do you want this?" Alice asked, carrying a box.
Mia looked over and smiled.
"Right where you are is good. Still checking that I have everything before putting it all away."
"How's the bed coming?"
The tall girl stepped aside to show the finished bed with the mattress sitting on top.
"Good!" sighed Mia. "Just got it done."
"Awesome."
Alice's phone buzzed and she went to check it. The younger one pursed her lips together as they eased into a grin.
"Becky?"
The girl looked up, blushing.
"What makes you think that?"
"What did she say?" smirked Mia.
"She was asking how the move was going, and I said it was okay and then she just now texted me that she found out we share three classes this fall."
Mia chuckled as she sorted through some clothes, taking the time to fold them.
"How are you and Ryan?" asked Alice.
"Oh, we're fine. We're trying to go out one more time before school starts. Just the two of us."
Alice nodded.
"Mia...can I ask you something?"
"What?"
The shorter girl sat on the bed.
"Does Ryan...have any nicknames for you?"
Mia raised a brow.
"Like...what?"
Alice blushed.
"I fumbled my words last week and accidentally called Becky..." she covered her eyes and groaned. "Baby."
The tan girl snorted, dropping what she was folding and sinking to the floor. The fit of laughter was so powerful, she tilted to the floor. Her head was right on the hardwood while she kept cracking up.
Now Alice was a tomato as she walked to her.
"Stop laughing!" she pouted.
"Okay...okay..." Mia attempted while catching her breath. "Sorry, sorry."
She took a deep breath and held it to ensure the giggles were gone.
"I wasn't laughing at you!" Mia clarified. "I just thought that was so fucking cute!"
"It gets worse," she huffed.
Mia was back on her feet, grabbing her friend's shoulders.
"Really? How?"
"I didn't have the guts to tell her it was a mistake, so she thought I called her that on purpose. And now she has a nickname for me and had been using it ever since and NOW I'M IN TOO DEEP!"
"Whoa, calm down. What does she call you?"
Alice closed her eyes and lowered her head. She muttered something that Mia didn't quite pick up.
"You're gonna have to speak at a pitch humans can hear," she joked.
"Angel, okay! She calls me...angel."
Mia blinked and made a sound Alice wasn't used to and it kind of frightened her.
"AWWWWW!"
"Would you keep your voice down!" blushed the pale girl.
"Oh, my god! That means your pairing is: BabyAngel!"
She sunk to her knees and groaned.
"You're right," Alice admitted, defeated.
Dinnertime rolled around and the three generations all sat at the big dining room table. Everything was delicious and (much to the cook's relief) presentation and temperature was just right! Jade appreciated the compliments on the chicken bake and knew they would be hers come dessert.
"This is such a beautiful home, Jade!" Holly admired.
"Thanks, mom" smiled the writer. "You only told me a hundred times."
The woman chuckled.
"Now it's a hundred and one!"
"I was wondering..." Jade began. "I know we haven't even started thinking about Thanksgiving yet, but I wanted to..."
She stopped herself and looked down.
"Hey, it's okay!" assured Tori. "Just tell them."
"We're all ears, Jade" added David.
Jade licked her lips.
"I...um...was wondering if we could have Christmas here this year. Last year I was away and made it back home for New Years."
Tori's eyes twinkled when Jade spoke, while an earth-shattering moment, the benefit of hindsight had colored that evening differently. Last New Years was the night they kissed for the very first time. It was a surprise to the Latina, and it took her a long time to come to terms that it was a pleasant surprise.
"If you don't mind flying in for Christmas, I would love to have you."
"And Trina and Andre?" asked Holly.
Jade took a big gulp of red wine.
"Sure, why not."
David and Holly looked at each other and smiled.
"That sounds nice," David said.
"Really?" perked up Jade.
Holly nodded, "Of course! Will there be enough space?"
Jade mulled it over and thought of the pull-out couch in the living room plus the guest bedroom. They could accommodate both couples. But if Harry wished to stop and visit with Gemma, they would have to get a hotel. The former goth smiled to herself.
"There's plenty of space! Thank you."
Tori held Jade's hand and squeezed.
They spent the past Christmas apart and they would never do that again. Maybe next year, they could all travel to Massachusetts for the holiday break. Tori would be interested in seeing the snow and Jade had told her on occasion that she was not ready for how gorgeous a white Christmas looked.
Tori just responded to that with: Any Christmas with you is a gorgeous one!"
The evening wore on and the grandparents all said their goodbyes and promised to visit very soon.
Jade and Tori, hand in hand, said goodnight to the girls as they went their separate ways upstairs.
Mia still had a couple of "neat" piles on the floor that she would go through tomorrow and then her room would be done! She threw off her day clothes and slid on a thin, simple grey pair of sweat shorts and a blue tank. Mia yawned and looked at the freshly made bed, which looked really attractive right now.
She climbed in and sighed contentedly. The new room did come out nice.
That was where she heard the door creak open.
"Is everything okay?" Alice asked, poking her head in.
"Oh, yeah!" nodded Mia. "Everything is great."
Another yawn crept out of her mouth.
"Today was a big day," Mia acknowledged.
The younger girl seemed too excited to stand still. It came true; her adoptive sister was living in her house! But even Tiny Determined wasn't immune to the highly contagious yawn in the room.
"I think we're both gonna sleep well tonight, "Mia smiled. "See you in the morning."
Alice nodded.
"See you in the morning, love you!"
Mia held her heart as the door shut.
"Love you too, you little weirdo," she whispered.
She sighed and took off her necklace. Her finger pressed the button making the locket open to reveal her father's smiling face. Mia just stared at the picture for a while before closing the locket and setting it on the bedside table.
"I think we'll be okay here, dad. Goodnight."
THE END.
A/N: I couldn't leave you guys without one more love scene between Tori and Jade. Between this and Stuntwoman, I like taking the opportunity to represent other body types that don't get appreciated as much in mass media.
Loved making moving day a real family affair. Since it was Tori and Mia moving in with Jade and Alice, this wasn't a housewarming party per se. However, since they spent all day bringing stuff across town and into the house; there was no way Jade wasn't going to reward everyone with a delicious meal. It was still a celebration of sorts. And there was no way Mr. and Mrs. Vega wasn't going to wait to see the house.
And since the first story in this duology began with the two daughters, it only made sense it would end there too. We've come a long way!
