Lara's Story

Part Five

By Chris

She lost control of her will, placing her hands on those soft hips. She stepped forward slowly closing the short distance between them. She felt her hips touch Lara's hips then their breasts touched sending a shock wave through Gena's body. She dropped her head down closing her eyes just as Lara did. Gena slowly touched Lara's lips with her lips and she heard a soft moan come from Lara. Gena pulled her lips back and she saw Lara smiling at her, so she leaned in again letting their lips touch again. This time she let her lips stay upon Lara's and she felt Lara's arms go around her neck holding her in place. Lara's lips felt so soft and while she could tell that while Lara was uncertain in her kissing, she was quickly returning the kiss with some passion of her own.

"You know you've got a perfectly good house to do that in." Gena heard from a loud voice that could only be Mary's.

Gena jumped back from Lara who was now trying to cover her body from Mary who was kind enough to stare at Gena and not at the now bashful Lara. "Mary, get out of here!" Gena told her strongly.

"Sorry but Sheena needs to take a shower and get to work." Mary told them before turning and leaving.

"Sorry..." Gena said, stepping over to her bag and getting their clean clothes out for them to change into.

"It's okay," Lara said with more than a little disappointment in her voice.

They dressed quickly in clean clothes, putting their sweaty workout clothes into the bag and then quickly cleaning up the shower for Sheena to use. They went back out into Mary's office where Mary was sitting at her desk and Sheena was sitting on one of the straight back chairs in front of Mary's desk. Mary was still going over Sheena's workout telling her what she had done wrong but also what she had improved upon.

Gena was going to go on through the office and leave them be but Mary stopped them after letting Sheena go so that she could take her shower. "I'm sorry about interrupting you two but Sheena did have to get to her job. I have told her that if she was ever late for work I would stop training her so I had to..."

"It's cool; we've got lots to do this afternoon anyway and needed to get going." Gena told her.

"All the same I seem to have bad timing with you two don't I?" Mary said giving them both a smile and a wink. Gena could see Lara blushing from the corner of her eye and her own face felt a little warm.

"Like I said it's cool. But we do need to get going." Gena said wanting to get out of the office before Mary embarrassed them both even more.

"Well don't do anything I wouldn't do." Mary said with a laugh. "But then again there isn't much I wouldn't do." She followed up, laughing even louder.

"Mary!" Gena said rushing Lara out the door before the poor girl turned blood red.

Mary just laughed and Gena shut the door on her and she heard Mary laughing as they went across the room. "Sorry about that, Marry can be a little course at times but she doesn't mean anything about it." Gena told Lara.

"I don't mind, I know she is just having fun and I know she isn't trying to be mean to me." Lara told her.

"Yea with Mary, if she isn't picking on you then that means she doesn't like you." Gena told her.

"Well in that case I want her to pick on me, I like her and I want her to like me." Lara told her.

"I think you are safe there, she likes you just fine." Gena said opening the door from the gym and entering into the warm air of summer morning.

"Is she one of your girlfriends, someone you're close to?" Lara asked her.

"Mmmm..." Gena said mostly to herself as she thought that question over. She knew that Lara was trying to find out more about her personal life and she didn't mind telling her but she wasn't completely sure just how she thought of Mary.

It wasn't until they had started out of the parking lot that Gena came up with an answer. "Yea I guess I would consider Mary one of my girlfriends, she's someone I can talk to and not worry about anyone else ever knowing what I said. Most of the people I work with and who work under me go to the gym so if I go there pissed off at someone and they show up later. I know what I said about them won't be retold. And she can do the same with me so we are girlfriends in that way and I do own part of the gym so we are partners too. But she isn't someone that I go to lunch with or shopping with. Our interests don't run alike in that manner. So does that answer your question?" Gena asked.

"It does... Do you have any other girlfriends that you do things with?" Lara asked somewhat shyly.

"You're just full of questions today aren't you?" Gena asked giving Lara a smile as she had expected a follow up question so it didn't surprise her when it came.

"I'm sorry I don't mean to get too personal but you know everything about me and I don't know anything about you." Lara told her.

Gena had to think about that for a moment before she realized that it was true, she hadn't told Lara much about herself, everything that they had talked about since they had met had been about Lara and her immediate needs which were many but less so now. "I guess that you're right. You should know more about me since we're now roommates." Gena told her and she saw that Lara didn't like that she had just said roommates and not something else as roommates implied that there wasn't anything going on between them.

"So to answer your question, right now there really isn't anyone else that I would consider to be a girlfriend or a close friend. I have been so busy with work and trying to fix up my house and get it into a livable state that I haven't had much time just to enjoy myself. It took all my time just doing those things." Gena told her.

"Maybe you can have more free time now, I'm here to help you with your house and even cook and clean for you." Lara said.

"You know what I said about not needing a maid, I can clean and cook too you know. You've got your own life to get started and I don't want you to spend all your time just waiting on me hand and foot. You understand me?" Gena told her.

"I know but I really like doing those things and beside that will give you more free time to do things." Lara said.

"Like what?" Gena asked as she couldn't think of anything off the top of her head that she really wanted to do other than work or making her house look nice again, like it once did.

Lara was silent for a moment causing Gena to glace over at her and she saw some indecision in Lara's eyes. She was about to tell Lara to tell her what was on her mind when Lara did just that. "Like maybe going to the movies, or balloon shows, or shopping, you know things like that."

Gena smiled as she saw just where Lara was going with this line of thinking, "You wouldn't happen to want to accompany me on these things plus maybe going to flea markets to find things for the house and going to the big fair that Monroe has coming up in a month or so."

"Could we go there, I've always wanted to go to that fair and ride all the rides." Lara said excitedly.

Gena laughed, "Yea, I think we can find time to do that. It has been years since I've gone and I guess it is about time that I go back."

"Cool, we can look it up on the internet and see what all they will be having there this year," Lara said even more excitedly.

"But there's one thing you have to help me with first before we can go to the fair." Gena told her.

"What? It doesn't matter what, I'll do it." Lara said quickly.

"You may want to change your mind once I tell you." Gena said teasing her a bit.

"Just what is it?" Lara said with just a little hesitation in her voice now.

"Every year the orphanage goes to the fair and I volunteer to help with the little ones, so you got to help me." Gena told her seriously.

"Oh that will be fun, I'd love to help." Lara said becoming excited again.

"You might not be saying that after chasing after about twenty kids between four and seven." Gena said with a laugh. "They will flat out wear you out."

"Oh but it'll be fun, don't you enjoy doing it?" Lara asked.

"It's the highlight of my year and I wouldn't want miss it for the world, but still it takes me three days to recover." Gena said laughing again thinking about all those kids and them wanting to see and do everything.

Lara laughed, "I didn't think about that but I do want to go with you and help with all those kids. Just to see the excitement in their eyes would be worth it."

Gena looked over at Lara and she thought that she didn't have to wait to see the kids eyes to see excitement like that, she only had to look into Lara's eyes to see the same excitement. "Well you're now my official number one helper." Gena told her with a laugh.

Lara then spent the rest of the short drive over to the cellular store that she went to when she needed something to do with her cell phone. It was in the same town that Lara came from and where the three cops were now in jail for helping Lara's father. But Gena didn't see anything problem with bringing Lara here, since she really didn't know anyone and no one knew her or even of her as Lara's part that she played was pretty much kept out of the papers as they described Lara as an unknown source.

Gena got lucky in that Marti, the woman that she normally dealt with, was working that day so she waited for her to get free then let her wait on them. As Lara looked over the phones, Gena found out what she would have to do and what the cost would be. This turned out to be more complicated than Gena had hoped it would be as there were several different plans she could go with and since it had been several years since Gena had upgraded her phone, she could also get a new phone. Gena could see Lara looking over several of the more expensive smart phones and she knew most of those were out of her price range. Gena hated to have to tell Lara that they would be getting one of the cheap and hopefully free phones but then Marti also saw which ones Lara was looking at and she came to the rescue. There was one plan that the cellular phone company was about to bring out and Marti let Gena have that deal which included two smart phones that weren't the top of the line but also not at the bottom either. So that was what they got and Lara could hardly contain her excitement.

"Oh thank you, thank you, thank you..." Lara said with more than a little excitement once they exited the store. Then she gave Gena a long hug squeezing her tightly which Gena returned feeling nice to be hugged like this. "And you got us internet and unlimited text too."

"You'll have to thank Marti for that, she is the one who gave us a great deal; otherwise you'd be getting a phone like my old phone." Gena told her as Lara finally let go of her.

"Well I thanked her too but mostly I thank you," Lara said smiling as they got to Gena's car.

"You're welcome but you're going to have to teach me how to you use this damn thing; technology and I have never gotten along." Gena told her with a laugh though she was being very serious about her and technology not seeing eye to eye.

"Oh it'll be easy; you'll have no problem learning this phone." Lara assured her getting into the car and pulling out the book on the phone before Gena could even get into the car.

Gena tried to get a conversation going with Lara on the way home but all she got was a "yea," or something like it as Lara would read in the book then play with either her phone or Gena's phone. So Gena gave up, she didn't even ask Lara what she wanted as she stopped at a fast food place on the way out of town. She just got them both a burger and a coke. Lara munched on hers as she continued to master the phones. Gena began to wonder if she would get any painting out of Lara that day or would she have her nose stuck in that book and working those phones.

"So which room do you want to start on?" Gena asked Lara as they got out of the car with Lara jugging the phones in her hands and still carrying the bag with the accessories.

Lara didn't reply until they entered the house and that is when she finally looked up from the phones, "Mmmmm... let's start in the living room since that it the first room people will see when they come into the house." Lara then took the phones into the kitchen leaving them there and coming back out.

"That's a good idea, let's get some old sheets to cover up the furniture and we'll be ready to start." Gena said leading Lara to the closet in Lara's bedroom where she kept the old sheets and stuff that she had planned to use when she got around to painting.

They first moved the furniture to the center of the room and then they taped off the base boards and the doors. They mixed the paint that would go on the ceiling and that is where they started. Gena had to show Lara how to apply the paint with the rollers but that didn't take long to do as Lara caught on quickly. It was hard to apply paint while looking up at the ceiling and they both ended up with more than a little paint on their arms, faces, and hair. Lara had pinned her hair up so that it didn't get in her way but that also turned out to be a great place for paint to land when it fell. When the ceiling was completed, they took a break and Gena turned off the air and opened the windows so that the fumes of the paint wouldn't get to them. They were on a roll so they soon were back at it determined to get the living room done. The walls went quickly but it was when they had to put the rollers down and picked up the brushes to do around the edges that the painting turned slower. They were both taking their time and they were able to talk as they went along to make a boring job a little more interesting.

"Well I think we did a fine job." Gena said stretching her back as they both looked over their handiwork.

"It does look pretty good if I say so myself." Lara said as she smiled looking at what she had helped to do.

"Well let's clean up the brushes before we go and take our showers. Then we'll find something to eat." Gena said as she began to put the lid on the paint that they were using.

"I think I got more paint on me than I did on the walls and ceiling." Lara said as she began to pick at the paint on her arms.

Gena looked over at her and laughed, "I believe that you did."

"Hey don't laugh; you got a few spots on you too." Lara told her pointing to a spot of paint on Gena's shoulder.

"Only because I stepped too close to you," Gena told her.

"Yea right, that spot is all your doing," Lara spat back at her making Gena laugh.

"Hey I'm sticking to my version," Gena told her as she grinned from ear to ear.

"And I'm sticking to mine!" Lara said seriously then she burst out laughing.

"No I think I did that all by myself, actually I got less on me than I usually do." Gena confessed.

"Well I'll try to do better tomorrow." Lara said.

"Oh don't worry about it, that's the half of the fun of painting, getting it all over yourself." Gena told her as she went to her giving her a hug.

"I think I'll spend all night getting the paint off of me." Lara told her.

"Nah, it comes off skin pretty easy." Gena told her. "Why don't you go ahead and jump in the shower as I clean these brushes and rollers, then I'll take a shower. After supper we can move things back enough to get around."

"I can help you get them clean." Lara quickly offered and Gena knew that Lara probably wanted to take another shower together but she figured that one shared shower a day was enough. She needed to slow things down a bit.

"I'll get it, you go and get that paint off and by the time you're done I'll be ready for my shower." Gena said turning Lara toward the bathroom. "Now go, I want to get this paint you put on me off too." Then she grinned at Lara who gave her a mean look then smiled as she went out of the room.

Gena watched her go wanting to join her in the shower but she knew she was right to go slow. Lara had her life turned completely over in the past couple of weeks and she needed time to get things right in her head before something happened between them. And Gena wanted to be sure that any feeling that Lara may hold for her were real and not a result of Gena being the one who came to her rescue. Gena had to admit that it was a boast to her ego to be someone's knight in shining armor but that didn't make for a long term relationship and she knew that was what she wanted and needed from Lara.

Still Gena couldn't help but to think about Lara standing naked in that shower as she cleaned up the brushes and rollers from the hose at the back of the house. She did enjoy their shower together that morning and enjoyed the kiss afterwards even more. The kiss was cut short by Mary but it was nice while it lasted. It was also something that she would like to do more of; kissing was always something that she thought was so erotic and always got her juices flowing, even thinking about it right then, she could feel an itch coming that she couldn't scratch. So she got back to the job of getting the brushes and rollers cleaned as well as the paint pans that they had used. Once she had them cleaned she put them on the back patio to dry. She then went in putting a pot of coffee to brew as she thought about what to fix or order out. She was leaning toward ordering out as she wasn't in the mood of cooking anything but then again she had no clue what she wanted to eat either, she just knew that she was hungry.

As soon as the coffee was done, she poured herself a cup and put in the cream and sugar before leaning against the counter trying to decide what to do. She had about half of the cup drank when Lara came into the kitchen. Her long black hair was still damp and ran down both her back and front. Her face was pink from the hot shower and she looked beautiful in her short nightgown.

"The shower's all yours." Lara said giving Gena a shy smile.

"Cool..." Gena replied. "Think about what you want to order out for dinner and then we'll order it.

"Okay, I'll figure something out for us to eat." Lara told her as she went over to the pantry.

"I meant for us to order out, I don't want you cooking.' Gena warned her.

"I know you don't," Lara said then she came over to where Gena was standing, she pulled on her arm making Gena have to step away from the counter. She then got behind of her and Gena wondered what she was up to but before she could look back over her shoulder, she felt Lara's hands on her hips and she was being propelled out of the room.

"The kitchen's mine, now you go take your shower." Lara told her. Gena was about to argue but by that time, she was already out of the kitchen and Lara was heading back toward the pantry. She started to turn and argue with Lara but then she knew that would be like arguing with a wall and about as fruitful, so she went on to take her shower.

When she came out of the shower, paint free and feeling refreshed, she opened the bathroom door to something smelling very delicious, even over the smell of the paint fumes. As much as she hated to have Lara doing all the cooking but then again, it was kind of nice not having to cook or decide what to cook as well as having something to eat with.

"It smells great, what are you cooking?" Gena asked as she came over to where Lara was standing by the stove.

"It's a surprise... now go over and get some coffee. Then you can sit and talk to me as I cook." Lara told her or rather ordered her.

"Yes ma'am!" Gena said.

"Funny... now go sit and drink your coffee and let me cook you up something special." Lara said giving her a big smile.

"You know, I usually don't like to eat anything I don't know what I am eating." Gena said as she got her coffee.

"You'll like this," Lara told her confidently, so confidently that Gena just had to call her on it.

"You sound awful confidently, I'm not so sure that you have a right to be that way." Gena told her.

Lara turned putting her hands on her hips, "Have you disliked anything I have cooked for you yet?" Lara said still with a confident smile on her face.

Gena so wanted to think of something to wipe that confident smile off of Lara's face but she couldn't think of anything that she didn't like as it was all delicious. Gena kept looking back at her trying to act just as confident but then she broke into a smile, "No you are a excellent cook and I have no doubt that I'll like whatever you are cooking."

"I thought so." Lara said with a big grin on her face then she turned her back to the stove.

"So what are you cooking and don't say it's a surprise." Gena told her as she sat down at the kitchen table.

"I would tell you if I knew, but like most of the dishes that I learned from watching Nana cook, I don't the names; I just remember how they are made. I told you that before." Lara told her with a bit of irritation in her voice.

"Yea I know, I'm sorry, I forgot." Gena said truly sorry about bringing that up again. So she decided to change the subject.

"So did you like painting?" Gena asked her.

"Oh yea, that was fun. And the room looked so much better with those dirty white walls colored with the aqua green. I think that really opened up the room." Lara said and Gena could see that Lara was smiling even looking from behind of her.

"It does look so much better. I can't wait to get the whole house done." Gena told her as she sipped her coffee.

"Well with me helping, we'll have the house painted in no time. Then we can start on your next project." Lara said turning her head and giving Gena a bright smile.

"With your help, we'll have it done soon but I have to warn you, I tend to want to change colors of my walls every so often." Gena told Lara who smiled even bigger.

"Cool, you buy the paint and I'll paint it for you," Lara told her.

"I bet you will," Gena replied with a laugh.

"So what room we doing tomorrow?" Lara asked.

"Either the bathroom or the kitchen, which one would like to do?" Gena asked of her.

"Mmmm... I don't know... how about the kitchen?" Lara said.

"You know the kitchen and the bathroom will be the hardest to paint." Gena cautioned her.

"Yea, that is why we should do them next, so let's start with the kitchen." Lara told her as if that decided the matter.

"Okay, the kitchen it is." Gena said letting Lara make the decision.

As Lara finished cooking and as they ate, Gena told Lara about what she wanted to do with the kitchen, like refinishing the doors and putting new knobs and hinges on the cabinets. This seemed to excite Lara even more as she wanted to get started on that too. Gena cautioned Lara that refinishing the cabinets would be a lot harder than just painting the walls but Lara was sure that they could do it. She even wanted to stop by the store on the way back from the gym just to get the supplies that they needed. That way she could work on them on Monday while Gena was at work. Gena wasn't so sure about this but then the doors looked terrible now so whatever Lara did to them couldn't make them look any worse.

"Okay show me how to work this damn thing." Gena told Lara as she sat down on the couch with Lara plopping down right beside of her.

"Oh don't act that way." Lara said as she turned to give her a disapproving look.

"Act what way?" asked somewhat surprised by Lara look that she was giving her.

"Like me teaching you will be a big waste of your time since you don't plan on using any of the functions other than talking." Lara told her.

Gena looked at her for a moment a bit surprised that Lara had read her as correctly as that was what she had been thinking since she had been talked into these phones by Lara and Marti. Gena had to smile as she said, "Busted," and then she laughed.

"I tell you what, if you'll give me your full attention and honestly give this phone a chance, in a month, you be wondering how you survived without it." Lara told her giving her a confident smile that Gena had begun to get wary of.

"I doubt that but I do promise to give you my full attention and I'll try to give this phone a chance." Gena told her.

"Try?" Lara asked with her eyebrows arched.

"I will give this phone a chance." Gena said.

"Much better!" Lara told her as she had this serious expression on her face making Gena want to laugh but she dared not to.

"Okay let the training begin," Gena told her.

"You will love this phone," Lara assured her as she picked up her phone.

"Just how do you know so much about these phones, when I arrested you, you only had one of those cheap prepaid phones that all you could do was sent texts and talk." Gena asked.

"Oh I had lots of time in my room when I had nothing to do so I researched everything that I saw was popular or sounded interesting. I learned a lot about a lot of things." Lara told her.

"I guess you did," Gena replied but that also brought up another thought that she was curious about but she put that off as Lara was about to start her lessons.

"The first thing you need to know is how to answer the phone." Lara told her.

"Oh I know that one, you just say Hello," Gena said with a laugh that got her a frown from Lara. "Sorry, I just couldn't resist."

"Well try," Lara said very seriously.

"I will I promise," Gena said wiping the smile off of her face and she began to concentrate on what Lara was telling her.

Lara went over each part of the phone making Gena repeat the steps until she had it down pat. That included Lara calling her on the phone when she was sitting up against her. Next came texting which took Gena a bit longer to learn as she kept spelling things wrong or the phone would put in a word that she didn't want to use. Lara had also picked up a lot of the abbreviation that people used from the internet and she used them, then she had to tell Gena what in the hell that she was saying. Once Gena could send a decent text, Lara added Gena's email accounts to her phone, both her personal and work ones. She then got on Gena's desktop and set up her own hotmail email and added it to her own phone. She then put some ringtones on their phone and she promised to find lots more to put on both of their phones. By the time Lara was through, Gena was beginning to have a headache but she did feel like she knew how to use most every part of her new phone.

"As much as I hate to admit this but I think you might be right about this phone, I'm beginning to like it already." Gena had to say when Lara completed her first training session.

"I knew you would," Lara said beaming from ear to ear.

"Yes you did," Gena replied with a smile.

"Thank you for getting me this phone, it's just so cool and it's mine, I don't have to give it back when I get done with it." Lara said a bit sadly.

"No that one's all yours," Gena told her patting her knee as she did so. "Now turn around, you got a bit of paint in your hair, let me get it out for you."

"I do... where?" Lara said as she ran her hand through her hair.

"On the back of your head, here scoot back and turn your back to me." Gena said as she turned to face her.

"Okay," Lara said as she turned her back to Gena who had to move her right leg up and putting it to the side of Lara so that Lara could scoot back closer to her.

Gena reached up and began to pick out some of the paint flecks in Lara's hair. "Just how did you learn to read anyway?"

"Ouch!" Lara said first as Gena pulled out a bigger flick of paint and pulled her hair in the process.

"Sorry," Gena replied.

"It's okay," Lara replied, "Actually one of my earliest memories is me sitting on Nana's lap and her reading to me. She knew just enough English to get along and more than enough to teach a little girl how to start reading."

"How old were you?" Gena asked.

Lara turned her head back toward her, "I don't know but I was very young. I probably learned to read and write long before most kids did. As I got a bit older, she would bring me more of her kids and grandkids old books. By that time, I had gotten past her ability to teach me so I learned the rest on my own. She did get me an English dictionary and a Spanish/English dictionary right before she left. That way I could look up my own words learning their meaning from the dictionaries. Then when I got my first laptop and found that I had the internet which I don't think my bastard of a farther realized I had access to but that is what he got for getting the house set up to be wireless. So that is when my world really opened up at least it did in my mind."

"You know you're an amazing girl," Gena told her.

"I don't know.. I just did what I had to do to survive." Lara said softly.

"You did more than that," Gena told her.

Lara went on to talk about some of the things that interested her that she researched. It was a way to pass the time but Gena knew that it also served to educate a young woman who had no formal education. She probably had a more well rounded education than most kids had after they had graduated from high school and maybe even some who had gone to college. She knew accounting frontward and backward, though it was only used to laundry money but she knew the rules better than most accountants. And she loved to learn about history and what had happen in all of the different ages since man evolved from the first mammals.

"Is there that much paint in my hair?" Lara asked after she had become quiet for a while as they sat there on the couch.

Gena felt her face grow warm as Lana turned her head to look at her, "No there was just a little there, I've just been playing with you soft hair ever since."

"Oh okay," Lara said smiling back at her.

"You do have beautiful hair; I just love playing with it." Gena said feeling embarrassed but that just seemed to make Lara happy.

"I don't mind..." Lara said softly.

Gena looked into Lara's eyes, getting lost in them as Lara turned her shoulders toward Gena who dropped her left arm to Lara's left side. She gently pulled Lara back toward placing her right hand on Lara's stomach. Lara looked up at her with those pretty green eyes. Gena moved her left hand up to the back of Lara's neck going up under Lara's hair and feeling it almost caress the back of her hand. Gena gently pushed Lara's head toward her not getting any resistance from her. Gena saw Lara's eyes grow wide as head got closer. Gena watched as Lara closed her eyes as their lips got close to touching. Gena closed her eyes at the last moment then she felt Lara's lips touch hers. Gena let their lips touch lightly before pulling back. She felt Lara pressing forward being eager to continue the kiss.

Their only kiss had been that morning and it was a mad passionate kiss and Gena wanted Lara to see that there was another way to kiss. She pulled back so that she could look into Lara's eyes and seeing the questions and doubts that Lara held. Lara was new to all of this and Gena wanted to bring her along slowly, probably slower than Lara wanted to go. Gena gave her a reassuring smile, "Close your eyes baby," she whispered to her.

Lara did so but Gena could see the confusion on her face. Gena paused for a moment then she kissed the tip of Lara's nose making her wiggle it and giggle. She moved to Lara's forehead kissing it just as lightly before going to each cheek giving those high cheekbones a kiss. Gena could sense Lara becoming impatient to really kiss but Gena wanted to show her that this was also real kissing. She did give Lara another kiss to the lips but it was just as brief of the other kiss. She let her fingers caress the back of Lara's neck as she planted kisses about her face. Also the fingers of her right hand caressed Lara's stomach. Slowly Gena felt Lara's body began to relax letting Gena kiss her wherever she wanted to. Gena had Lara's face wet with her kisses before she went back to Lara's lips kissing her lightly, just letting their lips touch. She let the kiss linger and she could feel Lara's hands grip her sides where she was holding onto her. Gena let their lips part and this time Lara was content to wait for Gena to kiss her again. Gena opened her eyes for a brief second to see that Lara's face was beginning to flush and that made her feel nice.

Gena kissed Lara again, this time she let her lips part with Lara parting her lips a fraction of a second later. Gena slowly began to let the kissing get more passionate as she moved her lips around Lara's lips and Lara mimicking her actions. Gena could feel her body getting excited and she had to make herself slow down just as she was making Lara slow down. She pulled back again going back to kissing Lara's face and this time Lara seemed to enjoy it and she could feel Lara's hands gripping her tighter as she kissed her cheeks, nose, and forehead. When she kissed Lara's lips again, she let her tongue slip out from between her lips, letting it touch Lara's lips. Gena heard Lara let out a soft moan as she did this. She slowly moved her tongue into Lara's mouth, touching Lara's tongue with the tip of her tongue. Lara let out a louder moan, before she moved her tongue touching Gena's tongue. Gena moved the tip of her tongue around Lara's tongue letting their tongues kiss as their lips were doing. Gena let this kiss linger before she pulled back again with Lara following her for a moment but then she stopped letting Gena end the kiss.

Gena watched as Lara slowly opened her eyes and they had this sparkle to them that Gena could not get enough of as it showed her just how happy that she had made her. Lara's face was all flushed and she was breathing a little harder as she caught her breath. Then Lara surprised her by moving on up so that she was sitting on Gena's left thigh. She brought up her hands putting them to the sides of Gena's face. Lara bit her lower lip as she looked at her but then she gave her a soft smile. Gena could feel Lara's soft hands holding her face in place and then Lara moved her head inward. Gena closed her eyes waiting for the kiss that Lara wanted to give her but she didn't kiss her lips, she kissed the tip of Gena's nose. She then went to her forehead kissing the center then going a little to the right and left of that center kiss. Gena then felt Lara kissing her right cheek and then her left one. Gena had to let out a moan as she loved to be kissed this way and she was proud of Lara for figuring that out. Gena then felt Lara's lips touching her lips and Gena was the one putting her hands to Lara's sides gripping them as they kissed. Lara sort of let Gena take over the kissing from there as Gena slowly opened her lips putting her tongue between her lips only to find Lara's tongue there waiting for it.

They kissed with their lips taking turns kissing each other's faces and lips and using their tongues. Gena slowly let Lara fall back as she moved out from under her. So that Lara ended up lying on her back on the couch and Gena laying to Lara's right side and Gena was laying partially on top of her. Gena kissed Lara's right cheek kissing her up high on the cheek bone then placing the next kiss a little lower and then lower. She went on down the side of her cheek until she got to the edge of Lara's ear. She then kissed her earlobe making Lara giggle as it tickled her. She then sucked the earlobe into her mouth and this time Lara let out a moan. She sucked for a moment then she began to chew on the earlobe and Lara let out a louder moan. Gena let the earlobe slip from her teeth before exhaling into Lara's ear and that got her another moan from Lara.

Gena began to kiss her way back to Lara's lips, giving her a soft kiss as Lara turned her head toward Gena a hair to make the kissing easier. Gena felt Lara's hand go to the back of her head as they kissed. Gena gave her several soft brief kisses then she let their lips stay together, kissing as Gena ran her hand up and down Lara's left arm. She so wanted to place that hand on Lara's breasts but she resisted, saving that for another time. She let their lips open allowing their tongues to become entangled as their lips were locked together. Gena could feel that her pussy was soaked and she so wanted to reach down and touch it or better yet get Lara to touch it but again she stopped herself. As the kiss went on Gena felt herself getting to the point of no return so she slowly ended the kiss.

Gena let their lips part then she raised her head up above Lara's, giving her a smile as Lara opened her eyes. Gena could see the desire in Lara's eyes and she knew that Lara was seeing the same desire in her own eyes. "You're a very nice kisser, you know that." Gena said softly to her.

"You are better," Lara said in even a softer voice, "I could lay here and kiss you all night."

"I could too but I think we need to head off to our beds. We got a workout and sparring lesson to fit in tomorrow as well as getting started on the kitchen." Gena said seeing the disappointment in Lara's eyes and face.

"Just a little more..." Lara pleaded with both her words and eyes.

"Maybe tomorrow, now come on girl, let's head to bed." Gena said forcing herself to get up off of Lara then she held out her hand to help Lara up off the couch. The disappointment showed in Lara's eyes but she did let Gena help her up though she held onto Gena's hand as she began to go around turning off the lights and making sure that the doors were locked.

When they got to the spare bedroom which was now Lara's bedroom, Lara pulled Gena to her wrapping her arms around Gena's waist. "A good night kiss..." Lara asked hopefully.

Gena smiled, "I think a goodnight kiss would be nice."

Gena moved her right hand to the back of Lara's neck, as Lara's looked up into her eyes. Gena slowly lowered her head down closing her eyes as their lips met. Gena slowly opened her lips letting the kiss become passionate. She moved her tongue into Lara's mouth and she felt Lara's tongue reaching out to meet it. She felt Lara's body pressed up against her body and she could feel Lara's nipples pushing into her chest. Gena let out her own moan and Lara was moaning with her. Their bodies kissed just as hard as their lips were kissing and again Gena felt her will slipping so she began to pull back which was hard to do with Lara clinging to her.

"I think that was a very nice goodnight kiss." Gena said in a lusty voice as she pulled away heading to her bedroom before she changed her mind.

She turned on her alarm then turned off the lights before slipping into her bed. She closed her eyes and all she could think about were Lara's soft lips and how nice Lara's body felt against her body. Before she knew what she was doing, her right hand was pulling up her nightgown and slipping up under her panties. She could feel the heat from her pussy long before her fingers got there. Her fingers went through her thick pubic hair and down to her pussy. Usually she liked to get herself warmed up first but in this case, she was already on fire.

"Oh fuck!" Gena cried out louder than she meant to then she had to bite her lower lip to keep Lara from hearing her.

She ran her fingers across her wet pussy lips getting them soaked with her juices. Her panties were restricting a little of her movement of the hand however she didn't want to take the time to pull them off. She needed to cum and she needed to cum soon. She ran her fingers up and down she slit getting them covered with her juices. She was moaning aloud though she was biting her lower lip, she hoped that the moans were being muffled a little. She slipped a couple of fingers into her pussy feeling the heat and the juices flowing from her pussy. She fucked herself as best she could for a moment before she let her fingers go to her engorged clit. It was super sensitive and she let out a moan as her fingers began to run across it. She was using an up and down motion putting lots of pressure on her clit. She began to moan louder as she rubbed faster and harder. She was quickly approaching her orgasm so she put her thumb and index finger against her clit pinching and pulling on it. She rolled the little nub between her fingers feeling her body go stiff and she felt the first wave of her orgasm start from her pussy.

"Oh Lara!" she cried out as the first wave hit her head and then from the door she heard a gasp and a moan. Gena knew then that she was being watched but then the main waves of her long overdue orgasm hit her. It had been too long since she had pleasured herself and it felt so fucking good. She lay there for a moment enjoying the afterglow of her orgasm and she thought about Lara watching her. It made her a bit mad but then it was nice too. However it also told Lara that she desired her which she didn't mean to do however after kissing her all evening that was something that Lara had probably already figured out.

After a few minutes, Gena realized that her panties were soaking wet and she needed to clean up and change into a clean pair. She got out of bed going to her dresser and getting a clean pair of panties and a clean gown. She went out the door and started to go across the hall to the bathroom. She had just about made it across the hall when she heard a moan coming from Lara's room. She felt the temptation to go down and spy on Lara but she decided against it until she heard another moan and the temptation became too great. She reasoned that since Lara spied on her, she had a right to spy on her. So she threw her clean panties and gown into the bathroom before sneaking down the hall to the edge of Lara's door.

She slowly peeked around the edge of the frame of the door. She almost let out a gasp of her own when she saw Lara lying on the small twin bed. The security light outside of Lara's window shown threw the sheer curtains that hung in the window. Lara had obviously taken the time to shed herself of her gown and panties and was lying on her back. Her legs were spread out and Gena could see Lara's fingers moving against her pussy. She couldn't see exactly what those fingers were doing but she had a good idea. She also saw Lara's chest moving up and down from her heavy breathing. Lara was using her left hand to pinch her nipples going from one to the other.

Gena's right hand went back down to her own pussy, slipping up under her panties once again. Gena began to rub her pussy as she watched Lara rub hers. Lara was moaning much louder than Gena did and she didn't seem to be worried if anyone heard her or maybe she wanted to someone to hear her and that being her. Lara brought her knees up spreading them out as she Gena watched. She could see that Lara was now using her fingers against her pussy not having the problem of her panties getting in the way as Gena had before and was now dealing with. She so wanted to dive between those legs and find out just what Lara tasted like. She saw those fingers moving around Lara's pussy and she could hear the squishy sounds that they were making so she knew that Lara was very wet. Lara worked her pussy harder faster and harder just as Gena was doing. Gena could feel her second orgasm of the night coming upon her and she tried to hold it off. She watched Lara's fingers begin to rub her clit and she heard her moan louder and harder. It was only a matter of seconds before Lara's legs came together trapping her hand between her legs and Gena heard Lara grunt hard as she came.

Gena turned putting her back against the wall. She rubbed her clit hard as she thought about Lara cumming so hard just seconds before. Gena felt her pussy start to spasm and before she could stop herself out came, "Oh fuck!" She came hard into her panties for the second time tonight and what was worse was she knew that Lara knew that she was spying on her. Gena stayed up against the wall until she was sure that her legs would carry her then she made her way back to the bathroom to clean her pussy and to get into clean panties. She hated that Lara had caught her but then it was kind of exciting and made her orgasms that much more enjoyable. When she got back to her bed, she fell fast asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow, and the dreams of Lara came to her making her wake up with damp panties once again.

"Well good morning Sunshine," Gena said as she came into the kitchen with the coffee made and Lara at the stove.

Lara turned giving her a bright smile, "Good morning to you too."

Gena started toward the counter where the coffee was but then she saw Lara's smile begin to form into a frown and she knew why. So Gena made a detour going to where Lara was standing, she put her arm around Lara's waist bringing her into her body. She then planted a kiss to Lara's lips, a light kiss that made Lara smile then she kissed her a little harder bringing a little moan from Lara.

"So did you sleep well?" Gena said letting Lara go and going over to the coffee.

"Oh I slept great, how about you?" Lara said still smiling as she turned back to the stove.

"I slept great too, better than I have in a long while." Gena admitted but then a couple of orgasms before going to sleep always helps but she didn't tell Lana that.

"So what you fixing for breakfast?" Gena asked as she stirred her coffee.

"It's a surprise," Lara said with a giggle.

"Is everything you cook a surprise?" Gena asked as she took her first sip of coffee.

Lana let out a hearty laugh, "Yep, it is. Don't worry about what it's called; you just worry about eating it."

"I'm beginning to figure that out." Gena said with a laugh.

So they talked as Lara cooked and then they ate a nice breakfast but then everything that Lara cooked so far was great. She did have a touch with cooking and none of it was really heavy, it was just filling enough to satisfy her hunger. And better yet, she wasn't putting on any more weight, at least not yet but she was going to get back to her workouts to make sure.

After getting the kitchen cleaned up, they went to change into their workout clothes and then they headed to the gym. Gena got the door open and Lana helped her to get the lights and fans going. Then they began their workout. Gena went at it harder than she had the day before and so did Lana though in her own way. She had a long way to go to work up to the type of resistance that Gena was using but she did work hard.

"So you ready for your sparring lesson?" Gena asked Lara as they drank some cold water and wiped the sweat off their faces.

"Yea, let's go." Lara said with a laugh and she grabbed Gena's hand going back to the room where the boxing ring was. Once there, Gena put the gloves on Lara's hands tying them up. Gena was just starting to put her gloves on when Mary walked in.

"Don't tell me you're going get into the ring with this tiger again. I thought you were smarter than that." Mary said to Gena as she gave a wink to Lara who tried not to giggle but did so anyway.

"Yea, I never said I was smart," Gena said with a laugh.

"I believe that," Mary said laughing as she helped Gena on with her gloves and tied them down for her.

"Well come on and let's get you both in the ring so that the beating can begin." Mary said leading the way to the ring. Lara was giggling the whole way and Gena couldn't help but to smile. Here was, just the week before, a girl that was scared to death of the boxing ring and now she was getting into it giggling and having fun.

Mary surprised Gena by stepping into the ring with them and in a way she was a bit pissed at her as she wanted this time to be just her and Lara. "If you're going to be beating up my business partner every weekend then let me at least give you a few pointers then I'll leave you to put what I teach you to good use." Mary told Lara and Gena felt bad about what she had just been thinking, she should have known that Mary wouldn't interfere with their little game for too long.

"You know, I think I'm the one who needs lessons, she's the one who got the best of me last Sunday." Gena told Mary.

"True but she's cuter than you are so I'm helping her." Mary said and Gena saw Lara blushing but also eating up the attention.

"Just like you to chase after every cute ass that walks by." Gena said making Lara blush more.

Mary promptly took Lara by the shoulders turning her around, "Oh yea, she does have a cute ass doesn't she."

Lara was by now beat red but she was also smiling from ear to ear. "Now quit flirting with Lara and show us a thing or two." Gena said to Mary to give Lara a break.

"Oh yes flirting with Lara is your job now, isn't it?" Mary asked as she turned Lara back around just in time to see Gena blushing.

Mary then got serious, "Okay the most important thing to boxing is not your hands but your feet."

"It is?" Lara asked with a questioning look in her eyes.

"Well at least as important to me. I'm big on foot work, without it you're going to lose each of your fights." Mary told them.

"But we're only going to be sparring with each other." Gena told her before Lara got scared at the idea that she would eventually have to actually fight someone for real.

"Still I like to see you both use good footwork." Mary told them.

She then began to show them where to put their feet and how to move them around the ring, showing them how it was done and also showing that for a big woman, she was still quick on her feet. She then showed them how to hold their gloves to protect themselves but also how to throw a punch from that position. She stayed with them for around fifteen minutes before going on back to her office and shutting the door thus leaving them in private to continue their play boxing match.

"That was nice of Mary to take the time to show us some things." Lara said as they both moved around the ring throwing jabs at each other with neither of them really hitting the other.

"Yes it was nice of her but you know what else it was?" Gena asked.

"No what?" Lara asked.

"When it comes to boxing she is a perfectionist and I think it was killing her to watch us last Sunday." Gena told her and then she laughed.

"All the same, it was still of her." Lara said then she got a decent jab into Gena's right shoulder.

"Oh nice one," Gena said smiling and she got a shot in on her own, hitting Lara on the upper right arm.

"You too," Lara replied as a look of concentration came over her face.

Gena felt another couple of good jabs come her way so she began to move around the ring a little more making Lara chase after her and also getting them both to work up a real sweat. After a few more minutes, Gena called for a break as they both had begun to gasp for air. While Lara rested, Gena went to the office and got Mary to hand them a couple of cold waters to drink. As they drank them down, they talked about the lessons that Mary had given them and Gena gave her a few more pointers. Most of what Mary had told them was more for Lara's sake as Mary had already taught her these moves. They toweled themselves off as best they could with gloves on and once the water was gone, they moved back into the center of the ring.

So far, Gena had let Lana do most of the jabbing but she began to jab back a little harder. Still nothing that would actually hurt her but she did want Lana to start to think about defending herself and not just doing all the punching. She would aim for her arms and stomach, and this caused Lara to concentrate more on stopping Gena's blows and she stopped jabbing so much as she began to block where Gena was punching. This allowed Gena to get even more jabs in as Lara started to backing away as Gena moved forward. Soon she had Lara up against the ropes with nowhere to go. Lara had her arms in front of her with her gloves covering her face. Gena hit Lara's gloves a few times getting Lara to really cover up.

"You know what you do when you are pinned up against the ropes?" Gena asked as she put her gloves down.

"What?" Lara asked peaking from between her gloves but still not letting them down.

"Trade places," Gena told her as she moved around and put herself up against the ropes.

"Now what?" Lara asked as she stood in front of her.

"You start hitting me and I'll show you." Gena said with a smile.

She could tell Lara wasn't so sure about this however she did bring up her arms and started to jab at Gena, but they were jabs that Gena could easily block.

"No, really try to hit me." Gena told her.

"You sure?" Lara asked with uncertainty in her voice and her face showed that this was something she didn't want to do for fear of hurting her.

"Yea I'm sure, go for it. I know a bunch of people who would love to get a chance to punch a cop." Gena told her with a grin.

"Yea, but I bet they're all in jail." Lara countered.

"True, but all the same, they wouldn't pass up the chance to hit me, so you had better take advantage as you might not get another chance." Gena told her.

"Okay, you asked for it." Lara said bringing up her gloves.

Gena got prepared to defend herself and Lara began to punch at her but without hitting her very hard. "Come on; put some force behind those punches, you're punching like a girl." Gena told her

"I am a girl." Lara told her.

"Well punch like a real girl, not a whimpy one." Gena told her forcefully.

"Whimpy!" Lara said and Gena knew she had pushed the right button.

Lara began to really fling her gloves forgetting all the lessons that Mary had just showed her. She did actually get a couple of licks in before Gena made her move. Between the swings of Lara's arms Gena quickly slipped her arms around Lara's sides putting her gloves to Lara's back and drawing her into her body so that Lara had nowhere to hit her. Gena could see Lara's surprise at this sudden change of positions. Gena then capped it off by kissing Lara on the lips catching her completely by surprise.

"And that is what I call Gena's Kissing Defense." Gena said with a grin.

"I like that defense," Lara said as she leaned in against her. Lara closed her eyes and she tilted her head upwards for another kiss that Gena was more than happy to give her.

It was a soft kiss and Gena could taste the sweat on Lara's lips and she liked it. She so wanted to really give her a passionate kiss her but this wasn't a place to do it. Gena slowly pulled her head back letting their lips part. "I think we need to head home, this isn't the place to be kissing, if you know what I mean."

Lara had a disappointed expression on her face but Gena cold see that she understood what she was saying. "Okay, can we take a shower before we leave?"

Gena knew what she was wanting and she hated to disappoint her but she had to, "No not today, I think Mary has work to do and we have taken enough of her time today."

"Okay," Lara said showing her disappointment but going along with it.

"Besides we're just going to get sweaty when we get home. Taking all the cabinet doors off and then having to paint the walls.

"I'll need the stain and sandpaper to work on those doors on Monday." Lara told her.

"You know..." Gena was saying when Lara stopped her by saying.

"Yea I know I don't have to but I'm going to do it so you might as well get me what I need." Lara told her with a determined look on her face.

"Okay," Gena said with a laugh then she gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"Come on, let's get these gloves off and head out. I figure that we can work until late afternoon and then clean up and head to Concord to get what you need for the cabinets." Gena said then she brought the cuff of the glove up to the mouth to untie the strings that held the glove onto her hand.

She pulled on the string but it didn't give, Mary had tied it too tightly and with her sweat soaked into it, it just made the knot tighter. "Ah... I think we may have to bother Mary after all." Gena said with a smile.

"What's wrong?" Lara asked more than a little concerned.

"I can't get the knots untied. Mary got them too tight," Gena told her. "Come on; let's go get out of these gloves."

Gena went to the ropes by the stairs, holding them open for Lara to go through. She followed through, following Lara down the stairs and on to Mary's office. Gena had to bang hard to get Mary's attention with the gloves muffling the sound of her knocks.

"What can I do for you ladies?" Mary asked as she opened the door.

"You can get us out of these damn gloves, you tied them too tight." Gena told her.

Mary gave out a big laugh, "You know, we need to get some gloves that use Velcro so people can get them on and off without needing help."

"You know, that isn't a bad idea," Gena said as she held out her arms so that Mary could get the gloves off.

"So how we doing this month?" Gena asked as Mary pulled her gloves off.

"Not too bad, we brought in enough to keep us going for a while and maybe even give you a little." Mary told her.

"Just put my part back into the reserve fund, you never know when something will tear up or we need a pair of boxing gloves with Velcro straps." Gena said with a wink to Lara.

"You know, she never takes any money from this place, it always goes into the rainy day fund." Mary told Lara as she helped get her gloves off.

"Hey I get free use of the gym and bring in a guest without charging them a membership fee." Gena told her.

"Ah Lara isn't a guest, she's a member of the family now." Mary told her which brought a big smile from Lara.

"Thank you... for considering me apart of your family," Lara said quietly.

Mary had a huge smile on her face as she put her right arm around Lara's shoulders pulling her in toward her then she put her left arm around Gena's shoulders pulling her in close too, "Hey us orphans got to stick together, we're all we got to depend on." She then gave a kiss to Lara's cheek which had a tear running down it and then she kissed Gena on her cheek.

"You both are the best family I could ever ask for." Lara said with tears running down her cheeks.

"Ah hell girl stop your crying, you'll get me crying like you have Gena." Mary said and Gena blushed a little when Lara looked up at her and smiled.

Mary then pushed them both away as she wiped her own tears away. "Now you both get in there and take a shower, you've got me soaked with your sweaty stinky bodies."

"Now that is a great way to break up a nice moment." Gena chastised Mary.

"You know I'm not into all that girly mushy stuff." Mary told Gena acting all tough like.

"Yea, like I believe that." Gena said as she gave Lara a wink, then she began to move toward Mary.

Gena reached out her arm for Lara and brought her in toward Mary as she said, "I think our tough bitch friend needs a big hug."

"Now you two get away from me." Mary ordered as she backed up until her ass hit the front of her desk.

"Nope, not until we give you a big hug and melt your cold hearted heart." Gena said and she heard Lara giggling.

"Yea, we got to melt your heart." Lara repeated as they got up to Mary.

"Like you can..." Mary said folding her arms in front of her body with her lips forming a big frown.

"Oh I believe we can..." Gena said, "Don't you Lara."

"Oh yes, I know we can." Lara said with a heartwarming smile that Mary couldn't resist.

"Oh come on you two." Mary said pulling her arms from between their bodies and she hugged them both to her.

"You both are too much for me." Mary said with a laugh giving them both a kiss on the heads.

"See I knew we could melt her heart." Gena said to Lara who was grinning.

"You may have melted my heart but you both still need a shower, so go hit the showers." Mary ordered them as she gently pushed them both away.

"Thanks but we'll get out of your way, we didn't bring anything to change into." Gena told Mary.

"Hey we still got some of those tee shirt and shorts set that we had for the grand opening. You can wear them home." Mary told Gena.

"But we don't have any bras or panties to wear with them." Gena told her still trying to figure out a way out of taking another shower with Lara here though she could see that Lara was getting a bit frustrated at her excuses.

"So I won't tell. Now get your asses in there and have a nice shower before the place starts to fill up." Mary told her.

The next thing Gena knew, Lara had her by the hand and was dragging her into Mary's bathroom. Gena had to smile as obviously Lara had had enough of her finding excuses for not taking a shower there.

"I like Mary, she acts all tough but really isn't." Lara said letting go of Gena's hand then going into the shower to turn the water on and stepping around the water to come back out of the shower.

"Don't let Mary hear you say that." Gena told Lara.

"Hear her say what?" Mary said as she stuck her head inside the door and throwing their shirts and shorts onto the sink.

"That you're a..." Lara said then she paused for a second and she looked at Gena as if trying to decide to say what she wanted to say. Gena wasn't sure what it was but she smiled at Lara to encourage to go on ahead and say whatever she wanted to say.

A big grin came upon Lara's face as she said, "That you're a mean ole bitch." Lara said grinning even bigger.

Gena let out a big laugh as she saw Mary's jaw drop from shock but Mary quickly recovered, "And you had better not forget that child." Then she shut the door and they both heard Mary let out a big laugh.

"That was a good one!" Gena said raising her right hand up and Lara hit it with her palm as they exchanged high fives.

"Thanks, I wasn't sure if I should say something like that to Mary but thought I could." Lara told her as she peeled her top off.

"Oh hell you can say anything to Mary and she'll eat it up." Gena said pulling her own top off.

Gena began to push her shorts off but she kept glancing at Lara as she pulled her sports bra off freeing her breasts and opening them to Gena's gaze. Gena tried not to be too obvious about it however she sort of knew that Lara wanted her to look. Gena got her shorts off and took her own sports bra off and she saw that Lara was watching her too. Gena felt her nipples hardening and she wished that she could make them stop but alas she had no control over her nipples just as she had no control over her pussy which was also getting moist. Lara pushed her shorts and panties down at the same time and Gena just had to glance at her pussy covered with that thick black hair. Lara stepped out of her shorts and panties leaving them in the floor. Gena could see that there was moisture on the crotch of Lana's panties and it wasn't put there by just the sweat from their workout and sparring match. Gena then watched as Lana walked slowly into the shower with Gena staring at her full ass. Once Lara was under the spray of the shower, Gena quickly shed her panties putting her clothes with Lana's and then putting them all onto the sink, before joining Lara in the shower.

"How does it feel?" Gena asked as she stepped under the other nozzle getting her body wet.

"Great, I was feeling a bit sticky with all the sweat on my body." Lara said with a smile.

"Yea, me too," Was all Gena could say as it was the truth.

As they washed, Gena would glance over at Lara who was always glancing at her and she always had this big smile on her face. Gena had to smile back as Lara's smiles were always contagious. Lara's nipples were just as hard as hers were and it was all that Gena could do not to lean over and suck one of those pink nipples into her mouth. Again she resisted the urge to do so however that was hard to do.

Gena was just starting to wash her back when Lara said, "Here, let me do that for you."

Gena started to argue with her but before she could do so, Lara had her turned around and was using her washcloth to wash her back. "Thank you," Gena said.

Gena stood there feeling Lara's right hand with the wash cloth go across her back and she had to admit that it felt good. Lara's left hand was also on her back, doing more caressing than washing. Gena so wanted to let out a contented moan but that she did hold within herself. The washcloth went from her shoulders to her lower back and Gena was now content to just let Lara wash her for as long as she wanted however Lara finished her back before Gena was ready for her to do so.

"You're done, now it's my turn," Lara said as she turned her back to Gena.

Gena turned back around to face Lara's back and she just stood there for a second. She looked at Lara's pale skin and her eyes went down to that cute ass that would more than fill her hands. After a few seconds, Lara turned her head back toward her with a look of expectation in her eyes.

"Oh sorry," Gena said with a smile. She put some bath soap on her washcloth, and then she put the washcloth to Lara's shoulders. She also put her left hand to Lara's other shoulder feeling the soft skin there. Her right hand began to wash the sweat from Lara's body and enjoying touching Lara's smooth soft skin. She ran the washcloth over Lara's shoulders and on down to Lara's back stopping short of her ass. She wanted to wash that too but she didn't, instead she moved her right hand back up Lara's back going back over the places that she had already washed. Lara didn't seem to mind as she stood there just letting Gena wash her and caress her as she was now doing. Gena just kept going over Lara's back until she realized that she had been washing Lara's back for several minutes.

"I think your back is clean now." Gena told her after clearing her voice.

"Thanks," Lara said as she turned around flashing Gena a bright smile, a happy contented smile.

Gena had to smile back as the thought went through her head that while Lara might be innocent of a lot of worldly things, she was still very much a woman and she knew how to seduce someone and Gena was the one being seduced. The bad part was that it was working and Gena wasn't sure just how long she could resist her before she gave in. She just wanted Lara to be sure of what she really wanted and she wasn't sure that Lara knew that or had enough information to really make that decision.

Lara began to wash her hair and Gena had to watch for a moment as Lara had her hands above her head thus raising her breasts and making them jut out. They moved with the motion of Lara's arms and Gena felt her pussy really getting moist now and it wasn't from the water of the shower. Gena had to finally turn away so that she could wash her hair without Lara's body distracting her. She even closed her eyes to lessen the temptation and was thus was able to finish bathing. Lara finished rinsing her hair and stepped out of the shower as Gena finished up. Gena turned off the water and she stepped in beside of Lara who was busy drying her body with a big towel. Gena grabbed the other one that Lara had gotten for her and was drying her front when she felt a towel being placed on her back and she felt Lara's hands on that towel.

"What you doing?' Gena asked as she turned her head back toward Lara.

"I'm drying your back," Lara said simply and then she went back to rubbing Gena's back with her towel.

"Oh okay," Gena said as she started again to dry her body.

"I figured you would need a hand since you're so old and decrepit." Lara said then she started to giggle.

"Old and decrepit am I?" Gena said as she put one corner of her towel in her right hand and the opposite corner in her left.

She carefully swung the towel in a circle as Lara said, "Yea you are," and she kept giggling.

Gena then quickly turned around taking a step back then she snapped her towel catching Lara on her right thigh.

"Ouch!" Lara screamed and she dropped her towel which gave Gena the advantage she needed.

"I may be old but I'm also very quick and devious." Gena said with a mischievous grin.

She then got her towel ready to pop Lara again, "No!" Lara said turning around trying to find a place to get away from Gena and her towel.

This put Lara's ass right in Gena's range and she snapped the towel hitting Lara on her left ass check.

"Ouch!" Lara said grabbing her left ass cheek so Gena aimed for the right on centering it perfectly.

"Hey that hurts!" Lara screamed but she was laughing to as she jumped to get away from the towel that Gena was welding.

Gena got her towel in position for another attack, "So am I still old and decrepit?"

Lara looked at her then looked pass her, she paused for a second then she said, "Yes you are and mean too!" then she tried to duck around her.

Gena let her go past then she popped her left ass cheek again. "Ouch!" Lara said as she grabbed her ass and jumped almost slipping on the floor.

Gena was about to pop Lara's ass again but when she saw her about to slip so she stepped toward her. That was when Lara saw her opening as she turned and she came to Gena as Gena came toward her to catch her. Lara grasped Gena much the same way that Gena has grasped her in the ring just a bit ago.

"You fell into my trap?" Lara said grasping Gena and not letting go.

"What trap is that?" Gena asked.

Lara grinned, "I am using very secretive defense against the towel."

"And what defense would that be?" Gena asked as she dropped the towel she was holding and putting her arms around Lara's body.

"Lara's kissing defense..." She said as she went up on her tiptoes giving Gena a light kiss to the lips.

"I believe that could be a very effective defense against the towel..." Gena told her, putting her right hand to the back of Lara's neck and lowering her lips down to Lara's giving her a soft lingering kiss.

"I think so too..." Lara cooed as she went for another kiss which Gena gave her. This time Gena opened her lips as she felt Lara's soft naked body against her body. Gena's left hand went from Lara's lower back down to her ass, gently caressing it making Lara moan. The kiss was becoming very passionate as their tongues touched however that was when they heard voices coming from Mary's office.

Gena slowly pulled back trying to catch her breath as Lara was doing the same, "I think we'd better be going."

"Yea..." Lara said with a frown as she pulled back away from Gena's arms which didn't want to let her go.

They quickly finished drying their bodies leaving their hair slightly wet. Gena slipped on a pair of the shorts that Mary had put out for them. They were loose fitting but they were also very short. Gena knew that she would have to be careful not to show anything if she was to sit down or bend over. She saw that Lara's shorts did the same with her. They both slipped on their tee shirts and while it was thick enough to hide their nipples, it did nothing to hide the fact that both of their nipples were hard.

Lara grinned at her, "It feels kind of naughty wearing this without any panties or a bra."

"Yea it does... I just hope that no one from work sees me, I would never hear the end of it." Gena said thinking about everyone talking about her outfit that she was seen wearing.

"Then I guess we had better hurry and get out of here before they see you." Lara said and she bent over to pick up their towels. Gena stood there and watched as the shorts rode up and she could see the hair from her pussy peeking from around the edges of her shorts.

Gena kept watching until Lara straightened back up, then she began to help clean up the bathroom. Once it was back in shape, Gena slowly opened the door going to Mary's office and seeing no one there, she led Lara into Mary's office and then out to where the boxing ring was. There they saw Mary up in the ring with Sheena and she was showing her something about her footwork. Gena gave a wave to them both and they headed into the main part of the workout area. There were only a couple of people there so they were able to get their stuff and head out the door into the already hot summer morning.

The car was hot and Gena felt the sweat forming on her brow as soon as she sat down. She got the car started and moving letting the air from the windows cool the car. Luckily they didn't have all that far to go to get back home.

"I think I'll put a pair of panties and bra on before we get started." Gena said as she entered the house.

"Why?" Lara asked stopping Gena in her tracks.

"Because..." Gena started to say that someone would see her but then it was just her and Lara there.

Lara grinned when Gena didn't finish her sentence. "We'll be working on the kitchen and these shorts and tee shirts are nice and cool." Lara said.

"Well you got a point there," Gena said.

"Yep, now let's get at that kitchen," Lara said slipping past her and heading for the kitchen.

When Gena got there, Lara was in the kitchen and she had to bottles of water out. "Thanks; for once I want something more than a cup of coffee." Gena said laughing.

"I bet it won't be long before you get the coffee pot going." Lara said laughing with her.

"I bet it won't either," Gena said with a laugh and then she drained about half of the bottle of water.

"I think we ought to take all the cabinet doors off first then we can start to paint the walls and ceiling," Lara told Gena.

"I guess that's as good a place to start as any, let me get my portable screwdriver," Gena replied.

When Gena returned a couple of minutes later, Lara already was covering the cabinets and table with the old sheets. She stopped and helped Gena remove all the cabinet doors making the kitchen look pretty bad but Gena knew once they were done, it would look so much better. They put the doors out on the carport that Gena never used during the summer preferring to just park out front of the house.

Once they began to paint the ceiling, Gena began to wonder if they should have left the doors on the cabinets but it was too late now. So they had to work slowly trying not to flip any paint onto anything in the cabinets. They worked for a couple of hours before taking a break and eating a sandwich which they had to go outside to eat to get away from the paint fumes which wasn't bad but still a little fresh air did them some good.

When they started back to work, Lara got up on the sink counter to paint the area between the counter and the cabinets. There was only about a foot and half to paint so Lara had to use one of the small rollers. However first she had to put some tape down at the edges so that she wouldn't get paint on either the counter or the bottom of the cabinets. Lara was almost lying down on the counter and Gena was standing near her knees peeling the tape off and handing it to Lara. It was on about the third piece of tape that Lara happened to move her right knee up so that her knee was at a ninety degree angle to her bottom, left leg she left straight. Gena was handing the piece of tape to Lara when her eyes just happened to look down and she found that she could see Lara's pussy from the open leg hole of her shorts. She felt Lara grab the tape from her hand causing her to smile as she looked back at Lara's face. However after tearing off another piece of tape, and holding it out for Lara, Gena's eyes went back to the opening on Lara's shorts. She saw Lara's slit peeking from between the dark hairs surrounding it. She could see the outer lips that looked so pretty and the inner lips just barely peeking from between those fat outer lips.

Lara took the piece of tape from Gena then she slowly eased forward on the counter. Gena was looking up Lara's shorts as Lara did so and she saw those lips part just a little showing the moist pink insides. Gena felt her own pussy twitch and she found that she couldn't look away. Lara brought her right knee up a little more which gave Gena a complete view of her pussy. Gena unconsciously licked her lips and when she looked up she saw that Lara was looking back at her with a big smile on her face. Gena felt her face go warm as she blushed. Gena said "Sorry" and she quickly peeled a piece of tape off for Lara.

She also moved to Lara's head so that she could keep her mind on the business at hand. This drew a frown from Lara but if she was trying to get attention, Gena knew that she had succeeded and did so very well. Lara got the counters and cabinets taped with Gena resisting the urge to stare up her shorts. However throughout the afternoon, she did find herself glancing at Lara when she was painting and catching a peek here and there. She could feel her pussy give her a twinge at every look and she could also smell a little of her arousal from time to time. She hoped that Lara didn't also catch a whiff of her but she knew that she probably did.

They stopped at about five to clean up and change clothes, finding something a bit less revealing to run to the large hardware store in Concord to get the stain, the varnish, and the things that Lara would need to apply it. They also talked to the sales staff there that was able to tell them how the doors needed to be sanded and then how the stain and varnish should be applied. While they were there, Gena and Lara picked out new hinges and door knobs for the doors. The ones that were on there were old and they did need to be replaced. Since they already had the doors down, now was the perfect time to do that too.

"So what do you want to eat?" Gena asked as they got into the car and she turned on the air conditioner.

"I don't know something different?" Lara said, then after a pause, she said, "Surprise me with something great to eat."

"Now that is pressure," Gena said with a laugh.

"Just a little..." Lara said with a giggle. "No anything is fine with me; you know I'll eat most anything."

"Yea, but where to go?" Gena thought out loud. She really did want to find something that Lara had not tried before but she wasn't sure what the cooks that her father had, might have cooked and fed her. The only one that Lana had really talked about was the first one Nana who made a lot of Latin dishes or at least that is what Lara liked to cook.

Gena had just pulled out onto the highway heading toward home when she thought of something. "Hey have you ever had Japanese food?"

"No, what's it like?" Lara asked.

"You're about to find out." Gena said with a smile. "Now I just got to find a place to turn around."

"I take it; the restaurant is in the opposite direction." Lara said.

"Yea, I thought of it a second too late." Gena said with a laugh. "But that can be fixed quickly." Gena told her as she got to the next red light; she got into the turning lane.

"So do you like Japanese food?" Lara asked.

"I love it, I haven't gone in a long time as it is a lot more fun to go with someone and now I got someone to go with." Gena said looking over at Lara with a smile and got a big smile in return.

"Yes you do," Lara said and then Gena felt Lara's hand on her right hand. Gena smiled at her and she grasped Lara's fingers gently as they folded over her hand and between her thumb and index finger.

Lara wanted to know about the food and Gena told her the things that she liked but she didn't tell her anything about the way they cooked the food. Instead, she waited until they entered the restaurant and were greeted by all the cooks who were in the center of the room. Lara jumped in shock then she grinned real big. Gena asked to be seated at the counter which was a large circle from which the customers sat around and the cooks talked, cooked, and entertained them. Lara sat and watched the cooks; she was at first a bit shy to reply to anything that they said but the cooks got the better of her and soon had her talking away. Then she would ask Gena if she heard what they had said as if she hadn't been there the whole time. Lara ate and talked and there didn't seem to be anything that she wouldn't try and very few things that she didn't like, as the cooks had prepared them a little bit of most everything that they made.

"Oh my god, we got to come back here again, that was fun." Lara said excitedly once they were outside of the door.

"I take it you liked eating Japanese food." Gena said stating the obvious.

"Oh god yes, it was fun. I wasn't sure about the cooks and their knives at first; I just knew that one of them could cut their finger off any second." Lara said with a laugh.

"Oh I believe that they probably train for years before they do that for customers. They know what they're doing as they don't want to serve you one of their fingers anymore than you want to be served one." Gena said seriously.

"Oh yuck!" Lara said with a laugh, "Now I never want to come back!"

"Oh that won't happen; they know what they are doing." Gena said afraid that she had gone too far.

"Oh I know you were messing with me. I won't let you out of taking me back that easily." Lara said giving her a big smile.

"Oh don't worry, we'll come back, I love eating here as much as you do." Gena assured her as she opened the door for Lara.

She wasn't sure why she did that until Lara looked up at her as she was getting into the car and she said, "Thank you." Gena then knew why she had held the door open for Lara, because it gave her pleasure to do so and the smile that Lara gave her was worth it. When Gena got to her door, she found that Lara had reached over and opened it holding it open as best as she could with her leaning across the driver's seat.

When they got home, Gena went on toward her bedroom getting a clean gown and a pair of panties to put on after her shower as it was a workday the next day. She could tell that Lara wanted to be invited along but she figured one shared shower a day was enough and she was afraid of what the shower would led to so she took her shower alone. Once she was under the spray of the shower, she thought about her workday, normally she looked forward to going back to work after a weekend off but she found that she almost hated to go back in. She wanted to stay home and work on the house with Lara. However with no job, there wouldn't be a house to fix up, so that did make going back to work a little better. "Still it would be nice to take another day..." Gena thought again before shaking her head clear of that thought and went back to taking care of business and her business was being a cop and supervising the deputies under her.

When she entered the kitchen, she saw that Lara had reheated a cup of coffee with the cream and sugar already in it, so all she had to do was stir. She heard Lara go into the shower, so she sat down and looked around the kitchen with the freshly painted ceiling and walls. Even with the doors off the cabinets, the kitchen was already looking brighter. She would like to completely redesign the kitchen but that would have to wait for another day once the house was paid off and she could save up. She had just finished off her cup when Lara came into the kitchen, freshly washed and looking pretty in her pink gown and long black hair framing her face.

"So you want to watch a movie or something before bed?" Lara asked coming over to Gena as she stood up.

"I wish I could, but I have to get up early and get into work. Monday's are always busy and I like to get in there early." Gena said seeing the frown come over Lara's face. "You can stay up if you want."

"Nah... I'll go on to bed; I'm getting kind of tired too." Lara said sadly.

Gena wanted to change her mind and stay up but she knew that she needed her sleep. "Why don't you check the doors and turn off the lights as I get the coffee ready for tomorrow."

"Okay," Lara said with a slight smile.

Lara was standing in the light of her doorway of her bedroom when Gena came out of the kitchen. As Gena approached, Lara opened her arms and she had this shy smile on her face. Gena knew what she wanted and this time, and it was something that she herself wanted, a nice goodnight kiss.

Gena smiled at her as she opened her arms, pulling Lara to her, and feeling Lara's arms go around her body grasping her tightly. Gena started to look into Lara's eyes, when there was something behind of Lara that drew her eyes away. She looked over Lara's shoulder and into Lara's bedroom, Lara's bare bedroom, a bedroom that just had a small twin bed and an old dresser. She had seen this bedroom since she had bought the place and it didn't really mean anything to her until now. She was looking into the spare bedroom that had become Lara's bedroom but she wasn't seeing it as she always seen it before.

"Oh god!" Gena gasped as she pulled back from Lara and walked into the bedroom, looking around the room.

"What's wrong?" Lara cried out with a worried expression on her face as she came into the bedroom standing in front of Gena. "Did I do something wrong?"

Gena looked back at Lara and she saw the worried look on her face, "Oh honey, you didn't do a thing wrong, I did."

"What did you do wrong?" Lara asked with her face showing that she was obviously still not so sure that it wasn't something that she had done that was wrong.

"I just realized that your room here is pretty much the same as the room that your father made you live in. It is so..." Gena was saying then she couldn't come up with the right word, not that there was a word to describe it other than barren and lonely looking.

"I don't mind, this is your house not his, and that makes all the difference." Lara said softly.

"But I do mind." Gena said as she walked around the room and really looked at it but all she was seeing was that lonely room that Lara had grown up in. "Well you're not going to sleep in here until we can make it into something that you would want to live in, something a lot more cheerful. We should have started the painting in here first and not the living room or kitchen. And we should have gotten some pictures that you would like to make it more yours."

"Then where can I sleep?" Lara asked her.

"I don't know, the couch isn't all that great a place to sleep believe me I have fallen asleep on it before." Gena said then she turned toward Lara who was smiling softly. The smile fooled Gena for a moment but then it came to her just what Lara may have been smiling about. There was only one more place to sleep in the house and that was her bed which did have a very good mattress.

End of Part Five.
