“Thanks, girl I”âAngel's smiled dropped when she noticed the Tiffany silver hanging around Lena's arm and neck. “I got it from this little store in New York, paid a grip for it. But it was worth it.” Angel pulled her hand back some.
“Well, girl, that is nice.” Lena flashed her smile. She knew the silver probably came from a silver store out of the mall at the most.
“We weren't expecting Terrin to show up with anyone. This is a real surprise.” The chubby Precious took a sip of her Apple Smirnoff.
“Chill, P,” Terrin said, pulling a chair out for Lena.
“What? I think it's great. She is a cutie,” Precious said to Terrin like Lena wasn't sitting there.
“I'm going to the bar. Y'all need anything?” Cat got out of her chair. She was the tallest of them. Her hair was cut in a short boy cut. Her clothes hung off her thin frame.
Lena hated when women wore clothes too many sizes too big. Even with the huge shirt, she could tell Cat had big breasts. Her sports bra did nothing, causing her breasts to hang down. Lena knew she was in need of a serious makeover.
“I'll come with you.” Terrin put her arm on Lena's back. “Do you want anything?”
“Anything fruity would be nice,” Lena said, knowing the club didn't have a full bar.
The club's crowd grew as the night went on. The DJ's mix of hip-hop, top forty and a few tracks of rock kept the crowd on the floor.
Terrin hung to Lena's side, pushing her chair close enough to rest her arm on the back of Lena's chair. Lena laughed at Terrin and her friends. She got along with them well. Even Angel warmed up to her.
Lena could feel the buzz of her fourth drink. She bounced her head with Beyoncé's “Get Me Bodied.”
Terrin licked her lips and rubbed them together like she was L.L. Cool J.
“Let's dance.” Terrin stood up.
“Oh, umm, I'mâ”
“Not taking no for an answer.” Terrin held her hand out.
Lena couldn't help but blush. She placed her hand in Terrin's, and they walked to the crowded dance floor.
Bodies pushed against each other as they moved to the beat. Lena popped her round butt right against Terrin's pelvis. Terrin nodded in approval. Lena let the music take over her body, swaying and grinding to the beat.
A tall, thick woman walked up in front of Lena and began to dance. Lena soon found herself in the middle of a six-person sandwich on the floor. She felt the woman's breasts rubbing against hers as Terrin's body grinded against her backside. Lena's pussy began to throb as she glanced down at the woman's cleavage.
“You sexy as hell, mama.” The woman licked her red plump lips.
Lena smiled.
The woman pulled Lena closer, their pelvises grinding against each other.
Terrin watched as Lena rubbed her hands up the woman's thick thighs. Other woman watched the sexy show Lena and the women were putting on.
The woman gently grabbed Lena's hair, causing Lena's head to fall back into Terrin's chest. The woman kissed Lena on her neck.
Lena grinded her butt against Terrin in a sexy, circular motion, and Terrin pulled Lena closer to her. The woman followed suit, coming closer to the two. Marvin Gaye's “Let's Get It On” began to play. Women coupled up, grinding as though they were in the privacy of their own homes.
Lena and Terrin stared at each other as they gyrated to the beat. Lena felt her panties getting moist as she stared into Terrin's big brown eyes. Without hesitation, Lena pressed her lips against Terrin's. In that moment, nothing else mattered. There was no floor full of people.
Terrin's tongue massaged Lena's; it seemed like they were the only two in the room. Terrin's hands roamed up and down Lena's back, her index finger grazing the nape of Lena's neck, sending shivers down Lena's body.
Their focus broke as a woman bumped into them. Lena looked at Terrin, whose eyes fixated on Lena as though she wanted to take her right there.
“I'm sorry.” Lena lowered her head.
Terrin's index finger pushed Lena's chin back up. “Don't apologize. Never apologize for doing that. Feel free to do it anytime you want.”
Terrin's intensity was a pleasant change from her usual silly nature. Lena felt her internal fire burning.
“Terrin, how long did you want to stay here?”
“Ready when you are.”
“In that's case, let's go.”

“Shit!” Mariah jumped as she turned the lights on in her apartment. Denise sat on the couch staring in her direction. “You scared the shit out of me.”
“I'm sorry.”
“Why are you sitting in the dark?” Mariah dropped her briefcase on the floor and stepped out of her Louboutin heels. They were the only shoes she wouldn't kick off.
“I was just thinking.” Denise stared into space.
Mariah sat on the couch next to her.
“Thinking about what?”
“My life.”
Mariah's eyes slightly slanted. She pushed her red hair back behind her ears. “What about it?”
Denise glanced over at Mariah. She turned to her and placed her hands on Mariah's leg. “Mariah, I really appreciate all that you have done for me ...”
“But?” Mariah slowly pushed Denise's hands away, her face covered with concern.
“Don't be like that.” Denise put her hands over Mariah's. “It's not what you think.”
“I think you are trying to let me down gently. Is that not right?”
Denise smirked. “No, it's not. I don't want to leave you alone. I just ... Mariah this whole modeling thing really isn't for me.”
Denise stood up.
Mariah watched as Denise paced the floor. Mariah sighed. She sat back on the couch.
“Is that it?”
Denise paused. “Yeah. I sat in that go-see and I looked at the faces of the women who actually love and want it. I knew then it wasn't for me.”
“Denise, I was just trying to find you a job.”
“Yeah, and I appreciate all that you have done. A normal woman would be in heaven. But it's just not me.”
Mariah rested her elbow on the back of the couch and put her head in her hand. “So, what do you want to do, Denise?”
Denise plopped back down on the couch. “I have no idea.”
“Well.” Mariah sat back up. “You have your contract with Jocku that you need to complete. But, besides that, you have enough money to take the time to figure out what you want. You can stay here as long as you want.”
“Thanks, but that's another thing. It's not my style to live off someone else.”
“Denise ...”
“But I also know that money I have won't go very far in this city,” Denise said, looking into Mariah's eyes. “So I think that we should come up with some kind of rent thing.”
Mariah laughed. “Denise, my apartment is paid for. I own this place. I don't rent.”
“Oh. I guess that makes sense.” Denise lowered her head. “OK, well, how about I pay some other bill. Maybe the cable or put in on utilities.”
“Denise.” Mariah held both of Denise's hands. “Not only do I have a wonderful job, but I'm a trust fund baby. I'm set, everything in this apartment is set. Hell, if I wanted to go buy a house in the Hamptons I could pay cash.”
“OK.” Denise looked puzzled. She'd never heard Mariah mention her fortune before.
“So any money you put toward anything would be only to make you feel more comfortable. So if that's what you want to do, drop a hundred on the cable bill. But it's not for me, it's for you. But any money you give me, I'll just put aside and give back to you later.”
Denise lowered her head. She thought about Lena. Mariah's money made Lena's fortune look like chump change. Denise looked into Mariah's eyes. She felt a twinge of guilt.
“I'm not gonna win at this, am I?”
Mariah shook her head. They both laughed. Mariah turned around, laying into Denise's arms. Denise ran her hand through Mariah's hair. She kissed Mariah on her forehead.
“So, do you have any ideas about what you want to do?”
“Not yet, but I'll figure it out soon.” Denise glanced at the envelope on the table. She picked it up. “I got this.”
Mariah took the envelope from Denise and opened it. Mariah's eyes widened as she pulled a beautiful black invitation out of the plain envelope. Even Denise admired the beautiful invitation.
“Oh my God!” Mariah gasped as she read the invite. “Denise, wow! I knew it.”
“What?” Denise sat up in anticipation.
Mariah flipped the invite around. “Do you know what this is?”
Denise shook her head.
“This is an invite to one of Melanie's exclusive dinner parties. I knew it.”
“You knew what?” Denise leaned back
“Well, I got a call from Melanie's camp asking me about you.”
“Why?” Denise felt on edge.
“I don't really know, but they wanted to know about where you were from and your basketball career.”
“And you just gave up my info?”
“I figured she was booking you for a job.” Mariah could feel Denise's anger. “But then I realized that Melanie could have just called your agent. So, I knew it had to be something more. I think you might be tapped.”
“
Tapped?
What the hell is that?”
Tapped?
What the hell is that?”
Mariah smiled. She placed her hand on Denise's thigh. “Denise, it's a good thing. Melanie has made a lot of stars. The last person she took under her wing is now a supermodel. You have to go to the party.”
“What? You want to go?” Denise looked at Mariah.
Mariah's smile dropped. “I didn't get invited.”
“What? But you would be with me.”
Mariah stood up. “You don't understand, Denise. When I say exclusive, I mean exclusive. Only the person whose name is on the invitation comes to this. And those names don't usually include my kind. But you need to go.”
Denise stared at Mariah, who picked up her shoes and headed to the bedroom. Denise stood up and followed.
“So you are saying that I can't take you because you're white?”
“A white, bisexual agent. Not what Melanie is known for.”
“That's some bullshit, Mariah, and you know it.” Denise sat on the edge of the bed while Mariah pulled off her work clothes.
“Don't look at it like that. It's just that Melanie is all about empowering black gays and lesbians in the industry. It really is a big honor to even attend.”
“Well, I don't see it like that. I'm not going to go.”
Mariah's head jerked around toward Denise. Her serious face was on. “Denise, look, if Melanie has taken an interest in you, you would be a fool not to go. Melanie can open a lot of doors for you, but she can also close a lot of them as well.”
“So, if I don't go she'll blackball me? She doesn't seem too great.”
“I'm not saying that, but I am saying that she is a very powerful person who knows very powerful people. Maybe even people who can get you back into the league sooner rather than later.”
Denise's heart skipped a beat. The thought of playing basketball excited her. “You really think that could happen?”
“I can't say for sure, but if there is a person who might be able to help, it would be her.” Mariah looked at Denise. She knew Denise's mind was racing. “What do you have to lose?”

Lena nervously looked around Terrin's apartment, staring at items as though it was her first time seeing them. Her hands were trembling. She shook them, trying to shake off her nerves. It was like it was her first time.
Terrin looked around her room. She lit every candle, giving the room a soft incandescence. The jasmine-scented candles permeated the room with an intoxicating fragrance. Terrin gave the room one more look over. She wanted things to be perfect.
Lena sat on the couch. She took a deep breath. She knew she had to get a grip. She laughed to herself; she didn't know why she was so nervous. It wasn't her first time at bat. Her mind drifted to Denise and the first time they made love. She was nervous, but more anxious than anything. This was different. Lena's heart was racing, and her palms were beginning to sweat.
Terrin peeked around the corner. She watched as Lena rocked back and forth on the couch. She smiled; Lena looked so innocent, and so beautiful to her.
“We don't have to do this.” Terrin walked into the room, startling Lena.
“Oh, I'm good. I justâ”
“You are just a nervous wreck.” Terrin giggled. “Lena, we don't have to do anything if you aren't ready. I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable.”
Lena's body began to relax. She sighed. “I'm sorry. I feel like a baby.”
“Nah, it's not like that. You've only been with one woman. It's only natural to be a little nervous.”
Lena walked over to Terrin. Terrin wrapped her arms around Lena's shoulders. Terrin's lips slowly planted a kiss on the top of her forehead. The last of Lena's nervousness dissipated.
“Can we just go to bed, and if the mood comes, then we explore from there?” Lena's big brown eyes brought heat to Terrin's body.
“That sounds great to me.” Terrin smiled, hoping Lena couldn't see the longing in her eyes.
Lena's mouth dropped as she walked into the room. She looked at Terrin, who just smirked as she walked over to a set of candles and began blowing them out.
“I feel really bad now.”
“Don't.” Terrin blew the last of the candles out. “They are a fire hazard anyway.”
“Do you have a shirt I can put on?” Lena pulled her shoes off. The cold hardwood chilled her body, causing her nipples to perk up.
Terrin tried to not notice them. She threw a white tee at Lena. Lena walked into the bathroom.
Get a grip,
Terrin said to herself as she pulled her clothes off. She pulled her pajama bottoms up and got into the bed.
Terrin said to herself as she pulled her clothes off. She pulled her pajama bottoms up and got into the bed.
She listened as water ran in her bathroom. She wanted to enter. She wanted to see how Lena's body looked naked. Terrin never wanted to see a girl naked so badly before. Terrin's mind raced. She couldn't figure out what it was, but Lena had a hold on her unlike any girl before her.
Terrin's phone began to blare. She silenced the ringtone and ran out the room.
“You have some fucked up timing, you know that?” Terrin whispered as she headed to the kitchen.
“Shit.” Cat inhaled from her rolled up cigar. She exhaled slowly, allowing the thick weed smoke to cloud her car. “My bad, dude. I just wanted to check on yo ass. You fuckin'?” Cat smiled causing her already tight eyes to slant even more.
“Would I have answered the phone if I was?” Terrin took a sip out of her bottle of water.
“You already hit?”
“Naah.”
“Why not?”
“I don't think she's ready. She seems really nervous, and I'm not trying to rush her.”
“Whhhuuutttt! Oh snap, you really feeling cutie, huh?” Cat grinned.
Terrin's face lit up. “I can't lie. It's something about her. I think she could be the one.”
“T.”
Terrin turned at the sound of Lena's sexy voice calling her name.
“I gotta go,” Terrin whispered. She hung the phone up before Cat could say good-bye. Terrin took another gulp of the cold water before heading to the back.
Lena turned to the door when Terrin walked in. Terrin did a double take. Lena stood at the side of the bed, her perfectly manicured feet on the cold floor and Terrin's shirt hanging just low enough to cover the places Terrin wanted to see more than anywhere else.
“I don't think my shirt has ever looked that damn good.” Terrin walked farther into the room. She fought to maintain her composure.
“You are so silly.” Lena blushed.
Terrin pulled the covers back on the bed. The last thing she wanted to do was sleep.
Lena could see the lust in Terrin's eyes. She wanted to take the step, but something was holding her back. Her mind drifted to Denise.
“Well, I guess we should get in bed now. I can turn on a movie if... .”
“Terrin ...” Terrin's eyes focused on Lena's. Lena's big brown eyes gazed into Terrin's. The sullen look worried Terrin. “I'm really sorry about everything, the fact that I'm so ...”
“Lena, don't.” Terrin quickly walked around to the other side of her bed. Lena's perfume lingered on her body. “You don't need to apologize for anything.” Terrin placed her hands on both sides of Lena's face.
Lena looked at Terrin like a scared puppy dog.
“I know this is a big step for you, and I know you aren't over your feelings for ... her ...” The thought of Denise didn't sit well with Terrin. “I am just happy that you are here with me and that you are allowing me to be here for you.”
Lena's eyes began to water. “I don't know what is wrong with me. Denise has a new girlfriend. I shouldn't care this much. I shouldn't let her affect me like this.”
“Hey, you are completely justified in the way you feel. Honestly, Lena, she's the fool. 'Cause I find it hard to believe that there is another woman in this world that could compare to you.”
Terrin wiped the tears that flowed down Lena's face. Lena felt a sense of relief. She felt safe with Terrin, like nothing bad would happen as long as she was in her arms.
Yet her mind still drifted to Denise. Images of Denise sexing another woman flooded her mind. She could see the woman's body, her chocolate skin against Denise's flesh. She could hear her moaning the way Denise had made hermoan.
Lena shook her head. She looked at Terrin, whose eyes hadn't left her.
“Terrin.”
“Lena.”
Their eyes completely focused on each other, their hearts beating rapidly and in sync.
“Take me.”
There were no more words. Terrin's hand pulled Lena's face in close to hers. Their mouths met, immediately embraced in a sensual kiss. Lena's tongue invaded Terrin's mouth. Terrin greeted it with a slow suck, their tongues dancing.
Lena moved backward. Terrin wrapped her arm around her and pulled her into her arms with ease. Slowly, Terrin slowly lowered Lena onto her bed. The sexual beast inside of Terrin was roaring to get out.
Lena closed her eyes as her head hit the soft pillow. She didn't want to think about anything. The only thing she wanted to feel was pleasure. She felt her leg being lifted. She could feel the cool, wet tip of Terrin's tongue making its way up her thigh. Lena bit her lip in anticipation as Terrin's fingers gripped her thong, slowly pulling it off.
“Mmmm-hmmmm.” Terrin murmured as her eyes finally set on Lena's completely naked body. It was better than she expected. There wasn't a blemish in sight, no unsightly marks or hairs.
Terrin ran her index finger down the very small landing strip on Lena's womanhood. Her pussy was so smooth, Terrin knew it had to be a wax job because no razor could do it. She smirked. Lena made her mouth water. She had to have her.
Lena was pleasantly impressed as Terrin expertly worked her tongue inside of her. Her body writhed with the teasing pleasure. Where Denise took her time, Terrin dove head first into her. Lena found herself loving the aggression. Denise was always so afraid of hurting Lena that she was overly cautious. Terrin went in confident that she would please her, and it showed.
Terrin pulled on the clit with her lips as her broad tongue licked the full length of Lena's pussy, lips, and clit, extending it as she pulled and sucked with her mouth.
Lena moaned.
Terrin captured the head of the clit and teased its most sensitive spot. Lena felt her body jerk and Terrin took her cue.
Lena's body shook as the woman skillfully teased the tiny spot with barely the tip of her tongue. Lena wanted to escape as she felt the jolts shock her convulsing muscles.
Terrin held her tightly and pulled her closer; her mouth and tongue anchored on the tiny knot and danced around it.
Lena twisted to escape, her body bouncing along the mattress. Her moans caught in her throat. There was no escape. Terrin held her firmly in her mouth's grasp.
Lena's body continued to tremble. Shades of red danced in her head as the intensity of her orgasm grew closer. The lovemaking shook her to her core. No one had ever loved her this way. It was as though Terrin had been given a map of all of her pleasure spots and memorized each one. She deftly moved between the hard, swollen button of a clit and the cavernous, quickly flooding pussy.
Each stroke took Lena closer to her ultimate destination and farther away from her former loves. Brandon had long ago disappeared. Denise's face lingering in the recesses of her mind was quickly fading with each masterful stroke of Terrin's probing tongue.
Terrin wrapped her arms around Lena's ass. She devoured Lena, sucking the hot wetness that poured from within her. She let the taste linger momentarily on her lips. She wanted to savor every sweet drop.
Terrin slowed down long enough to spread the lips in front of her. The skin glistened in the soft moonlight filtering in through the high windows. She wanted to slow down, take in every moment, but she couldn't get enough.
Terrin was convinced. Lena's sweetness was her crack. She wanted to live inside of Lena, bury her entire head within the folds of those lips, feel the round soft curves of her walls close in on her, and drown her with her pleasure. Whether it was the saltiness of her sweaty skin, or the sweetness of the nectar pouring from her flower, Terrin had to have it.
She pressed her face into the heat of Lena's pussy and thrust her tongue deep inside.
Lena bit her lip. The explosion was present. Her legs bucked.
Terrin held on, wanting to capture it all.
Lena moaned, grabbing Terrin's shoulders. Her back arched as she exploded. All of her hurt, anger and passion flooded out with her orgasm, like a broken dam.
Terrin moaned as Lena's sweetness hit her tongue and filled her mouth. It was better than any piece of candy. Lena panted. Her chest rose and fell. Terrin looked up at Lena. Even covered in sweat she was the most beautiful girl she had ever seen.
Terrin rolled over to her side of the bed and wrapped her arm around Lena. They spooned and hugged close. Terrin wanted to say something, but her instincts told her to remain quiet. She held Lena, sealing the night with a kiss on the back of Lena's neck.
Lena knew she had to do something. She squeezed Terrin's hand and pulled her as close as she could, her ass pressed against Terrin's boxers.
Terrin knew what the gesture meant. She knew she had made Lena happy. That's all she wanted to do.
They fell asleep, both silent, both satisfied.
