Part 25 (2/2)

She didn't know whether to be embarra.s.sed or proud. Either way, it was Carmen's doing, not hers. ”What did you expect?”

Carmen removed her own pants and knelt between Judith's knees. ”Lovely,” she said, trailing her fingers along Judith's thighs to the edge of her pubic hair and back. ”I'm very glad I skipped dessert.”

And Judith was glad she had loaded up on coffee. Not that she was worried about falling asleep. She was thinking ahead to how many times they were going to make each other come before giving in to exhaustion. Whatever had been her personal best was going down tonight.

Carmen was going down too, inhaling her scent as if committing it to memory. Judith waited with tingling antic.i.p.ation for the touch of her tongue. When it finally came, it teased her lips apart gently before swirling inside her.

Judith tried to take her deeper, instinctively raising her knees to open herself more.

”You know just how I like it, don't you?” Carmen said.

Carmen's shoulders molded to the backs of her thighs and pushed her hips up off the bed. Hands wrapped around her waist and parted her lips, exposing her c.l.i.t to hot breath. Every vision of Carmen's skill as a lover was proving true.

Judith felt a quiver inside her, the precursor to her climax.

178.

Each time Carmen's tongue crossed her c.l.i.t, it grew stronger.

She tightened her cheeks as if to force it out, knowing the release would match the intensity of her effort.

Suddenly, Carmen stopped her motions. ”If you're going to do that, I want to feel it too.” A finger slid in and out of her v.a.g.i.n.a several times before it pressed to Judith's tight rim. ”I want you to throb all around me and suck me inside.”

Judith moaned and thrust her hips forward to impale herself on Carmen's fingers. She gasped for breath as she felt one digit slide into her a.s.s at the same time another plunged deep into her v.a.g.i.n.a. Carmen returned to lick her c.l.i.t, matching the rhythm of the steady thrusts inside her.

Judith blindly gripped the sheets as she fought to hold her climax at bay. Suddenly, her walls erupted in spasms and Carmen filled her, sucking her c.l.i.t in short bursts to make the ecstasy last.

When she opened her eyes, Carmen was smiling at her, her lips poised just inches above her c.l.i.t. ”Are there more where that one came from?”

”Am I still alive?”

Carmen chuckled and slid her hand out before scooting back to lower her hips to the bed. ”For the moment, but I'm not finished.”

”Aren't there laws against necrophilia in this state?”

”Only if you get caught.” Carmen crawled up to lie alongside her. ”You ready to let go of the bed?”

”Are we still moving?”

”No, but we can fix that.” She returned her fingers to Judith's still-throbbing c.l.i.t, but Judith covered her hand to hold it still.

”I need a little break . . . I'm just starting to feel my legs again.”

”And I can feel my tongue again.”

Judith hooked a hand behind Carmen's neck and pulled her face down. ”Let me have that tongue.” This kiss was neither ten-tative nor hungry. But it was intimate and unwavering, as if an 179 acknowledgment of their new status as lovers.

”I'm very glad you decided to ignore being sent to bed. We're both going to sleep so much better now.”

”We're not going to sleep now, Carmen.”

”We're not?”

”Not until we trade places.”

”You want to sleep on this side?”

Judith put a hand on Carmen's chest and pushed her back, rolling over on top to face her. ”I get to have my way with you now.”

”I was hoping you would.”

For the first time since they'd known each other, Judith initi-ated a kiss, taking her time to explore Carmen's mouth, her teeth, tongue and lips. Satisfied that she had touched every corner, her mouth traveled down Carmen's slender neck to her p.r.o.nounced collarbone, and out to her shoulder. ”You could stand to gain a few pounds, you know.”

”Could you put that in a memo and send it to Cathy?”

”Maybe later.” Judith lowered her mouth to Carmen's breast, sucking a wide brown nipple between her lips.

Carmen threw her arms over her head as though offering herself. With her eyes closed and her mouth parted, she was the picture of total concentration. Judith watched her face as best she could while fondling and sucking her b.r.e.a.s.t.s. The expression never changed until she traced her hand into the dark triangle between Carmen's legs. As her fingertips met wet flesh, Carmen's face contorted and she moaned.

Judith felt her own loins buzz with excitement when Carmen opened her legs. Leaving the b.r.e.a.s.t.s, she ducked between her legs to explore the treasure her hand had found. Even in the dim light, she could see the glistening lips. ”I'm going to love this,”

she said, burying her mouth in the slippery slit.

”You're not the only one,” Carmen groaned.

”Tell me what you want.”

180.

”You obviously don't need my help to figure that out.”

Five-possibly six-o.r.g.a.s.ms later, they both collapsed, with Judith climbing up to cover Carmen's body with hers. Warm fingers tickled her back as they both caught their breath.

”You're so beautiful, Carmen.”

”Looks can be deceiving.”

”What does that mean?”

Carmen heaved her chest, causing Judith to roll off to her side. ”It means you weigh a ton. Who knew you were so heavy?”

”Must you always be so serious?”
