Part One

by Ann Douglas

For perhaps the sixth time that morning, Jackie Esposito reread the bulletin board classified on her computer screen. As she had the previous five times, she slowly shook her head.

What had ever possessed her to write such an ad? Silently, she read it again.

"Married White Female - 20. Brooklyn, NY Bi-curious. Looking for an understanding lesbian or bi-woman to help me explore the world of female sexuality. Not looking for a relationship as of yet, just a little fun."

When she had posted that add on the BBS last week, she really didn't expect to get any serious answers. In fact, most if the hundred or so answers had been from men. The latest one, still in her in box, was typical of the lot.

"Yo sexy lady. You don't need all that dyke crap. If you need a little entertainment, I've got 8" of pure delight."

But none of the crude responses bothered her as much as the response she had received yesterday morning. With a trembling hand, Jackie punched it up again and began to slowly take in the words once again.

"Dearest Jackie,

I saw your Ad, and while I normally don't respond to such things, something told me I should take a chance and answer yours. My name is Colleen and I'm a 34 year old Lesbian. If you would like to get together and talk, perhaps have lunch, please give me a call. If anything develops, fine. If not, well then that's also fine. If nothing else, it may just give you the chance to get a few things off your chest. My office number is 555-1782. I make no secret of my sexuality, so you don't have to worry about calling my office. I hope to hear from you.

Colleen"

Taking a deep breath, the bathrobe clad woman reached over and switched off the computer. Walking back to the bedroom, Jackie reviewed the events that had led her to this morning.

Had it really only been two weeks ago that she'd been to brunch with her friends at Kelly Michaels house. It was a get together they had twice a month, dating back to their high school days. Each member of their little circle took a turn at hosting it. How could she have known that afternoon would cause long buried desires to erupt to new life.

It was your typical brunch, a few snacks, tea and coffee - and of course gossip. That was the real reason they all got together. Nothing was as much fun as getting together with your girlfriends and hearing all the latest dirt - at least that was what Jackie had believed up to that point.

The usual people were there. Kelly Michaels, the oldest of the group at 21. Tall, blonde and blue eyed, she had been Prom Queen at graduation. Still single out of choice, she was already a rising star at the firm she had joined right out of high school. Of course it didn't hurt that daddy owned the firm.

Next came Janet Innis. Almost as tall as Kelly, she had a short curly hair as black as her skin. Already a junior at State, she was the brightest of the group. At the rate she was going, she'd have her degree six months before anyone else in her class.

Rhonda Jo Chambers was next. The second blonde of the bunch, she gave truth to the stereotype of the dumb, beautiful blonde. If it wasn't for the help of the others, she'd have still been in high school. The flip side was that the bombshell had married Carl Chambers, the son of Jimmy Chambers. Jimmy Chambers had opened his first hardware store in 1979. Last week he had opened his tenth.

The baby of the group was Karen Scott. Still 19, the redhead was a student at City University and engaged to be married next year. She also worked nights as a waitress.

The last of the group present was Maria Santiago. The shortest of the group, only 5'2", Maria never the less possessed the best body of any of them. A fact that was never lost on the long string of boyfriends she'd had over the last few years.

Three girls were missing from their original clique. Donna Sullivan, who had moved to California to attend UCLA. Beverly Clark, who was nine months pregnant and not really in the mood for brunch. And the third missing sister was Mary Catherine Murphy. The reason for her absence was the main topic of discussion.

"Can you believe that Mary Catherine left Roger?" Karen said as she sipped her tea. "Who would've guessed that they'd wind up in divorce court?"

"They've been together since freshman year of high school." Kelly commented, twirling her long red locks - a habit she'd had since high school.

"I heard that Roger was bedding one of the women in his office." Maria interjected, a secret smile on her face.

It was her secret vice - seducing married men. "And that Mary Catherine walked in on them."

"Oh God!" Rhonda Jo Chambers gasped. "If that happened to me, I'd be reaching for my daddy's shotgun.

"You'd shoot yourself?" Jackie asked unbelievingly.

"No, silly." Rhonda Jo laughed. "Them!"

All the other girl laughed as well.

"Isn't that just like a man." Kelly said. "Here he has a beautiful and loving woman at home and he feels the need to go looking for someone else."

"How true." chorused a few of the girls as their laughter rose in volume and went on for the longest time.

"Actually, that's not true." Janet said in a quiet tone.

"What's not true, Jan?" Kelly asked. "That men aren't like that?"

"No." the tall black woman said. "That Mary Catherine walked in on Roger and a honey."

The last remnants of laughter faded right away as all eyes turned to Janet. A wide smile filed her face. That kind of all knowing look that said..."I know a secret that you don't"

"Actually, it was Roger who walked in on Mary Catherine." Janet said, every woman there hanging on her every word.

"You mean Mary Catherine was getting it from someone else?" Susan asked. "I can't believe that."

"She never seemed the type." Kelly said. "I mean I never even saw her look at another guy."

"That's right." Rhonda Jo agreed. "Remember how we used to joke that if she didn't marry Roger, she'd become a nun. She even had the perfect name already."

Jackie hadn't said a word, she was too busy looking at Janet.

She still had that same knowing smile, there had to be more to the story.

"Are you sure about this?" Karen asked. " My husband heard the story from Roger himself."

"Well, I think that maybe Roger would rather people think he'd got caught screwing around than let them know about Mary Catherine's affair." Janet responded, her grin now spread from ear to ear.

Varied looks of confusion filled the faces of the four women. This was the best gossip Janet had heard all year, and she wanted to really enjoy telling it. She let a few more moments pass before letting out her secret.

"I never said that it was a guy that Roger found her in bed with." she said.

"Omigod." was the collective response.

Part Two

by Ann Douglas

From that afternoon on, Jackie couldn't get the image of Mary Catherine in bed with another woman out of her mind. Mary Catherine had been one of her best friends since high school. Back then she'd been Mary Catherine Lewis. She and Roger used to double date with Jack and her. It fact it was Mary Catherine she'd turned to that night when she'd discovered that she was pregnant during the last month of senior year.

Now to discover she was into women. While the other women in their little social circle were very loud in their expressions of disgust, Jackie felt herself filled with a very different emotion - that of envy.

It'd been quite of few years since Jackie had entertained the idea of sex with another woman. All through high school, she had found herself with the desire to touch another girl - and to have them touch her. Many a night she had laid in bed, remembering what the other girls had looked like in the shower -and had masturbated to those images.

What she lacked in those days was the courage to act on those feelings. So Jackie had buried her feeling and followed the role everyone thought she should be. Honor student, cheerleader, girlfriend of a football star. She remembered all too well the scorn and isolation heaped on poor Dotty Myers who all the other girls assumed was a dyke. Dotty was somewhat plain and highly athletic, a real tomboy. Since she also wasn't what you would call socially active - the other girls had automatically hung the "lesbian" label on her.

Dotty proved them all wrong when she married Clarence Oswald. Clarence was a male version of Dotty - the stereotype nerd. He was also the founder of Startech - now one of the fastest growing software companies in the southeast. The last Jackie had heard, they already had three kids, a girl and twin sons.

Jackie's marriage to Billy Espositio on the other hand had been far from ideal. Married at 18 in a race with the stork to the altar, it had degenerated into two strangers sharing an apartment. Jackie had suffered a miscarriage a month after the wedding. She had never forgotten the look of relief that had appeared on Bill's face when the doctor told them that she'd lost the baby. Or the way he'd so casually accepted the later verdict that she probably wouldn't have kids at all. Despite that, they had been married and she tried so hard to make it work.

But it took two to make a marriage work and for the longest time, Jackie knew she was in this fight alone. They still lived in the basement apartment of his parent's Bensonhurst house. Billy still spent his days at his family's lumber yard and his nights at the local bar. Or the bowling alley, or the pool hall. Those few nights he did spend at home, were spent glued to the front of the television.

In fact, the only time she really felt that he even acknowledged her existence, was those nights that he suddenly felt the need for sex. That was another thing that hadn't gotten any better since high school.

The response to her ad had brought it all to a head in the last twenty-four hours. Deep in her heart she knew it was now or never. As late as last night, she'd tried to have a serious talk with Billy about their problems.

"Billy, we need to talk." Jackie said to her husband who as usual was in front of the television watching Sportschannel.

When no response came, she repeated her statement.

"You say something, baby?" Billy replied, his eyes never leaving the screen which was showing the finals of Woman's Volleyball from California.

"I said that....." she began for the third time before getting cut off by a shout from Billy.

"What a shot!" He yelled as one of the big breasted blondes on screen scored a point.

With a sigh, Jackie knew she was wasting her time.

"I said that the paperboy is here." She lied. "Do you have five dollars to pay him or should I just blow him as usual?"

"What's that, honey?"

"The paperboy......" she repeated.

"Oh, take care of that for me, will ya." he replied as the game resumed.

"Sure, no problem." she concluded in a defeated tone. "Maybe he'd at least have appreciated it."

So here she sat, staring at the phone. Since she only worked part time, she had the whole day free. "I'm going to do it." Jackie said out loud to then empty room.

As soon as the words left her lips, she felt greatly relieved. Of course an hour from now she could loose her nerve again. Before she did, she started dialing the phone.

"Doctor O'Connor's office." said the voice that answered on the other end of telephone.

"Is this Colleen?" Jackie asked.

"No, this is Martha." the voice replied. "Colleen's in with a patient right now. Who may I say is calling?"

"She's a doctor." Jackie said to herself. Somehow, that made her feel better.

"Could you tell her that Jackie called." she answered, wondering if fate was giving her a chance to quickly back and that maybe she should take it.

A few seconds passed. Seconds during which, Jackie would later learn, Martha was checking a short list of names in her desk draw. Jackie had come in on the doctor's private line. A line that bounced back to the front desk if she was in with a patient. The receptionist stopped with she came to the name Jackie penciled in at the bottom. Since she knew Dr. O'Conner gave the private number to women she met, rather that use her home number, finding only a first names wasn't unusual.

"If you can just wait a moment, I'll see if the doctor can pick you up." Martha said.

Martha was totally heterosexual, but there were times, after nearly thirty years of marriage, she was really curious about the concept of lesbian sex. That and the women the doctor dated. She had never actually met any of them, they were just voices on the phone.

When Colleen had hired her, she had told her right off the bat that she was a lesbian and asked if she had a problem with that. If it had made her uncomfortable, as it did to the last three woman who'd applied for the job, Colleen would understand.

Martha had replied that what the doctor did in her own bed was her own business - no one else's. Truth be known, some of the games the 48 year old and her husband played between themselves would seem strange to many people as well.

"Sure, I'll wait." Jackie said without thinking about it. Now it would be rude to just hang up.

"Hello, Jackie?" said a soft melodious voice a minute later.

"Hello Colleen."

"I'm so glad you called." Colleen said. "But I'm afraid you've caught me in the busiest part of the day."

"Oh, I'm sorry." Jackie answered. "I guess I could call back another time."

"No, there's no need for that." said Colleen." "I can spare a few minutes."

The two woman traded pleasantries for a few minutes. Jackie never realized how hard it would be to talk to someone she didn't even know over the phone. It was so hard to read the person on the other end of the receiver.

The sound of a buzzer in the background interrupted Colleen. She excused herself for a moment and then came back on the line.

"I'm afraid I've already backed up the appointments." Colleen said, indicating that she would have to cut it short.

"I understand." Jackie said. "I really have enjoyed talking to you."

"Tell you what," Colleen said. "I really meant what I said about getting together for lunch. My last appointment is for noon. Would today be good for you?"

"Today?" Jackie repeated.

"Yes, unless you already have plans."

Jackie looked at the clock. It was nine thirty. There was absolutely no reason she couldn't say yes. No reason but her own fear.

"Jackie?" Colleen inquired. "Are you still there?"

"Yes, I was just thinking." came the reply.

"Of course, I understand if you'd rather....."

"Yes."

"Excuse me?" Colleen said.

"I said yes, I'd love to meet you for lunch."

"Wonderful!" Colleen beamed. "I'm in Brooklyn Heights, is that ok with you?"

Only a half hour away by subway but a world away as far as any of her friends were concerned. To Jackie, it was perfect and she quickly said so. The two then exchanged a few more details on where exactly to meet and how they would recognize each other. Then Colleen said good-bye and that she was looking forward to meeting Jackie. For her own part, Jackie echoed the sentiment.

Part Three

by Ann Douglas

Jackie found herself staring at the phone for at least five minutes after she had replaced the receiver on the cradle. She had actually done it. In less than three hours, she had a date with another woman.

"Oh god, what do I wear?" was her first thought.

It'd been a very long time since Jackie had dressed to impress someone. As far as Billy was concerned, she could just go naked. At least that was the only time he seemed to pay attention to her.

Already Jackie had pulled out and then rejected a half dozen outfits. Should she wear something sexy, or would that be too trashy. Or would Colleen expect her to dress conservatively. After all, she was a doctor. It would be a good assumption that if she was coming from the office she would be wearing something traditional. Or were the rules different for lesbian doctors?

After all, to her knowledge, Jackie had never actually met a lesbian before. Unless you counted Mary Catherine that is, and she really didn't think that she was a good model to chose from. In fact, aside from the famous lesbians you always heard about - sports stars and models and such, she had only one other image to follow. A few months back, she'd seen a tape on cable of the gay pride parade in Manhattan. It was filled with lesbians, some of them who acted more masculine then men and paraded topless. That had been a little hard for her to take. What if Colleen was like that?

"Only one way to find out." Jackie said as she finally settled on a yellow and blue sundress. "If worse comes to worse, I'll just make up a story about having to cut lunch short and get the hell out of there."

Having laid out her clothes, Jackie stepped into the bathroom and turned on the shower. It would've been nice to run a bath instead but she wouldn't have the time. Placing her robe on the door hook, the brunette took a moment to admire her naked form in the mirror. Her breasts were a firm 36C and she worked out to keep her waist the same as it had been in high school. As a result of many afternoons sunning topless in the privacy of their backyard, her normally pink nipples were a dark brown and the rest of her a nice golden hue.

Running her fingers down across her breasts and stomach, Jackie stopped at the large dark bush of hair between her legs. She wondered if she should shave it. Billy had suggested it a few times after he had seen it in a porno movie. After the second time he brought it up, she had offered to shave it if that meant that he would go down on her more often. An activity that even after two years of marriage occurred once in a blue moon. Billy then stopped asking.

"Maybe another time." Jackie mused as she dismissed the idea.

Stepping under the warm rain of the overhead shower, Jackie closed her eyes and allowed the bright droplets to splash against her skin. The gentle touch was like a warm massage, causing her mind to drift. Unbidden, the dream of long ago days, a dream that had again worked it's way from deep within her memory, flowed through her mind.

Her eyes still closed, Jackie could tell that the light blue tiles of her shower had turned to a bright white and the shower itself was now more than four times as large. Shutting off the valves for the showerhead, now only one of a dozen that lined the walls, Jackie could hear voices from the adjacent room. She looked for a towel to wrap herself in, but all the hooks on the far wall were empty. With a shrug of her shoulders, she walked into the other room - still dripping wet and naked.

Stepping into the brightly lit room, Jackie immediately recognized it. She'd seen it so many times before. It was the locker room of Bishop O'Mallory High School. The exhibition playing itself out before her eyes however was not something she was used to. Spread out across the room were her closest friends. All were as naked as she was - and all were deep in the arms of sappho.

In the center of the room stood Kelly, her left leg propped up on one of the locker benches, both exposing the thick red patch between her legs and giving full access to it to the girl kneeling beneath it. It took Jackie a moment to realize that the girl on the floor was Donna Sullivan. The dark haired girl had her tongue stretched up and inside Kelly's pussy, working it up and down furiously.

Standing alongside Kelly was Rhonda Jo, trading deep kisses with the redhead and playfully caressing Kelly's bouncy breasts. Donna also had two of her fingers deep inside Rhonda's cunt, duplicating the action of her tongue on Kelly's.

To their right was Maria and Beverly Clark, locking in a tight embrace, each girl's mouth glued to the sex of the other. Both seemed oblivious to the action around them, enjoying the favors of the other.

The biggest surprise was the spectacle on the left. There was Karen Scott, spread out on the floor on all fours, her perky little breasts bouncing back and forth. Kneeling behind her, with a firm grip on her hips was Janet, pounding away at the young girl like a man. Strapped around her crotch was a long and thick dildo, as black as her own skin. With increasing speed, it disappeared and then reappeared as it penetrated Karen again and again. Much to the pale skinned girl's delight.

"Omigod!'' Jackie gasped as she covered her mouth with her hand. She feared making a single sound would cause it all to disappear before her.

The warm feeling from between her legs spread like wildfire as she watched her wildest fantasies played out before her. She wondered if she dared join in.

"I hope you're not planning to just stand there and watch." said a sudden, soft voice from behind Jackie.

Before she could turn and see where the voice had come from, Jackie felt soft hands place themselves on her breasts. The one of them slid down to between her legs, sending a powerful jolt through her shaking body as it brushed against her clit.

Jackie opened her mouth to say something, but her words were cut off by the press of warm lips against her own. She eagerly accepted the tongue that pressed it's way into her mouth. The first kiss was followed by a second, then a third.

It wasn't until the fourth that Jackie shifted her attention enough to identify her.

"Mary Catherine!" she exclaimed as the bright brown eyes of her friend beamed back at her.

"You were always my first love." Mary Catherine said as she kissed Jackie again, this time on her cheek. "We should've done this years ago." she added as she slid two fingers up inside Jackie.

She continued to caress Jackie's still wet skin as one hand played with her breasts while the other brought an even deeper wetness to her mound.

"Ooooo" Jackie moaned as she let Mary Catherine play her like a musical instrument.

Content to let her continue her ministrations without further comment, Jackie instead shifted her attention back to the spectacle around her.

Maria and Beverly were the first to climax. From Jackie's view, it was hard to tell who had been first. But it was obvious that whoever had been second, she was less than a minute behind. Both girls seemed to stiffen, then quake. Finally they collapsed upon each other on a hot and sweaty embrace.

Next was the trio of Kelly, Donna and Rhonda Jo. They had switched positions so that both Donna and Rhonda Jo shared the rich delight of Kelly's cunt. Kelly in turn hand her fingers in each of the other saturated holes. This time it was obvious that Kelly exploded first, her eruptions sending a thick sticky film across both girls faces. As soon as she recovered from the ripping waves that had gripped her body, Kelly brought both of her lovers off. First Donna, then Rhonda Jo.

Finally it was the turn of Karen and Janet. Both girls were humping away like they were possessed. Indeed they were and the name of the demon was lust.

"Deeper, deeper!" Karen yelled as she slammed her backside against Janet's rubber cock.

Janet was only too happy to respond, putting all of her passion into a series of powerful thrusts which also lifted Janet off the floor. Her dark breasts flailed in the air as the fires within her reached a peak.

A last lustful lunge sent Karen over the edge as she exploded with a scream that rebounded off the walls. That was enough to pull Janet along with her.

It turned out to be enough to bring Jackie along as well. Her legs felt weak beneath her as the gentle action of Mary Catherine's fingers caused a climax of memorable proportions. The quivering of her clit reverberated until it exploded into a pyrotechnic bodyquake. Bright lights flashed before Jackie's eyes as her heart seemed to stop. In that brief moment, she felt total contentment.

When the lights faded from her eyes, Jackie realized that the fingers within her were her own. The fantasy had seemed so real, right down to the touch of Mary Catherine's hand.

The chimes of the clock in the living room proved an even greater reminder of reality. It was already ten o'clock.

Part Four

by Ann Douglas

Twenty minutes later, Jackie was on her way out the apartment door. She paused at the hall mirror to check her hair and makeup one last time. She hadn't been this nervous over a blind date since she was sixteen.

As she opened the outside door that provided common access to both her apartment and the house above, Jackie was confronted by an unexpected surprise.

"Why good morning, Jacqueline." Mrs. Esposito said in a bright and cheery voice. "Where are you off to in such a hurry this morning."

Jackie really hated it when Billy's mother called her Jacqueline. It made her feel like a little girl. Other than that, she really had no problem with the older woman. No, that wasn't really true. Like many mothers, Judith Espositio thought her son walked on water.

"I....I have a doctor's appointment downtown." the younger woman said with a smile, enjoying the irony in her answer.

"Nothing serious, I hope?" Judith asked.

"No, I just want to see her about an old itch."

"Very well, dear." her mother-in-law replied, already loosing interest. "You will be sure to be back by the time Billy comes home. He does hate to have to wait for his dinner."

Jackie resisted the urge to say that it wouldn't kill her son to make dinner once in a while but it would be wasted. Instead she just said she would make every attempt to do so.

"This really feels awkward." Jackie thought to herself as she banished the brief encounter with Judith from her mind and left any other remaining thought of being Mrs. Billy Esposito behind. "I don't even know how to describe it."

Then, as she walked down the block toward the elevated station where she could pick up the N train, it suddenly came to her. The perfect word to describe how she felt. Quietly, she repeated the word out loud, smiling broadly at how nice it sounded.

"Virginal." she said a second time.

Forty minutes later, Jackie exited the train station at Court and Montague Streets. Colleen's instructions were to follow Montague down to the bottom where it led into the Brooklyn Heights Promenade. That was where Colleen said she would meet her.

Jackie had never been to this part of Brooklyn, even though it was really not that far from her house. Her first impression of the neighborhood was that it looked a lot like Soho or Greenwich Village in Manhattan. The street was lined with first and second floor storefronts with apartments above. A great many of the stores were restaurants, and most seemed to be doing a brisk business. Then there was the odd bookstore, little boutique and specialty store. It was quite different from the main commercial streets in her own area.

Reaching Montague Terrace, Jackie could see the large fenced in flagpole that Colleen said she would be waiting by. Taking a deep breath, the determined young woman strolled past the short rows of park benches, all full with residents and workers enjoying the afternoon sun. She knew it was only her imagination, but it felt like everyone of them was staring at her - and that they knew why she was here.

Truth was, the only attention she drew was that which any young attractive woman would. Still, that little diversion gave her the chance to put off the real question she was reluctant to ask. What would Colleen be like?

Stepping out onto the Promenade, Jackie was disappointed to not see anyone who matched the description Colleen had given her over the telephone. True, it was rather sketchy - long blonde hair, 5'5", fair complexion, dressed in blue, but it would be enough for her to recognize her.

"Guess I'm a little early." she said to herself as she checked her watch. Sure enough she was.

Stepping out onto the long walkway, Jackie took a moment to take in the vast panoramic view of lower Manhattan across the river. She had to admit, it was pretty spectacular. To her left she could see the Statue of Liberty and Governor's Island. She followed the path of the Staten Island Ferry as it slowly moved to the docks at Whitehall Street. Continuing her gaze to the right and upriver, she could see the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges. Once, during to a high school trip to the Brooklyn Academy of Music, she and a few of her girlfriends had cut out on the group and hiked over the Brooklyn Bridge to have lunch at the South Street Seaport. It had been a grand adventure to the group of seniors. Suddenly, it seemed so long ago.

A beep of her watch told her that now she was right on time but still no Colleen. Well a doctor has a rather busy schedule, she told herself. She probably just a little delayed.

Another ten minutes went by, and still she waited patiently. After all, it wasn't like she was going to get this far and just take off because she had to wait a little. If she did, she'd never forgive herself.

Ten minutes became a half hour and she finally began to become worried. She considered the idea of calling Colleen's office - perhaps she had been delayed by an emergency of some sort. Then she remember that the phone she had passed at the entrance to the Promenade had a large yellow "out of order" tape across it. The next closest phone was over a block away.

If Colleen arrived while she was gone, would she think that maybe she had never even showed up. Or that Jackie didn't think her worth the wait. No, better to just wait a little longer. Fifteen more minutes and she'd set out for that phone.

Ten of those minutes later, enthralled by the display being put on by a pair of young roller bladers, Jackie almost didn't see the woman in blue who strolled past her.

"Oh God, it's her." she exclaimed to herself.

The woman in blue wasn't exactly what she expected, but that was a pretty strange thought seeing that she really didn't know what it was that she did expect. Somewhat on the heavy side, she had short curly blonde hair and enormous breasts. She was dressed in jeans and T-shirt. It was the large lettered slogan across the shirt that caused Jackie some slight pause. "Lesbian and Proud." Colleen had said that she was open about her sexuality, but Jackie didn't think this open. Despite the size of her bust, it was obvious that she wasn't wearing a bra.

"At least she's wearing a shirt." Jackie thought, remembering the images from that cable TV video. "Well, he goes nothing." she added.

"Colleen...?" Jackie said as she stepped up behind the woman.

"Excuse me." the woman said as she turned around, her eyes brightening as she saw Jackie.

"Colleen?" Jackie repeated.

"Sorry, love." she replied, a slight disappointment in her tone. "The names, Judy. But I can change it if you like." she added with a little more enthusiasm, rolling her tongue across her upper lip.

"I...guess I made a mistake." Jackie quickly said as she turned and walked away. "Thank God!" she added to herself.

"Too bad." she heard Judy said as she watched Jackie step away.

Part Five

by Ann Douglas

Jackie didn't stop until she was all the way on the other side of the flagpole, well out of sight of Judy. It was time to find that phone. With long strides, Jackie exited the Promenade and was just about to head up to the pay phone she'd seen by the Key Food when a soft voice called out her name.

"Jackie?"

She quickly turned to the sound of the voice, almost afraid what she would find. Coming to an abrupt halt as she faced the woman who had practically ran to catch up to her, Jackie almost couldn't get the words out of her mouth.

"Colleen?" she stammered.

"Yes." came the reply. "I'm so glad I caught you. I was afraid that you'd have left by now."

Jackie wasn't even aware of the words she was hearing. She was too lost in the gaze of the deep blue eyes in front of her.

"She's beautiful." Jackie thought.

No sooner had she thought it, she knew that it was the wrong word to use. Beautiful was a description you use for models or movie stars, someone who kept their face in a jar by the door, as the old song went. Colleen was "the girl next store", yes that was it.

Blonde hair cut just above the shoulder framed an almost flawless face. Despite being almost fifteen years older than Jackie, Colleen wore almost no make-up. Her natural looks couldn't be much improved upon. Soft pink lips exposed a perfect smile, one which Jackie was sure was also natural - not the result of a dentist's art.

Her outfit was simple but flattering. A blue jacket with matching skirt over a light yellow blouse. Around her neck she wore a small string of pearls. Tiny flawless orbs which were duplicated in each ear.

It was funny but the comment that suddenly came to mind was one made by her husband when he walked in on her watching that parade video. As she changed the channel, he remarked that the real reason those woman were all dykes was because they were all too ugly to get a real man. Jackie was sure that given the chance, Billy would be down on his knees, begging Colleen to sleep with him.

"I was all set to leave when they brought in this little girl who....oh never mind, it doesn't matter now." Colleen continued. "The important thing is that we found each other. Are you hungry?"

"Famished."

"Good, there's a really great restaurant about two blocks up. You're going to love it."

It was such a beautiful September afternoon that they decided to sit outside on one of the exterior tables. Lunch talk was at first innocuous. Comments about the food, the decor of the restaurant, shops in the area. As she sat and listened, Jackie became aware that she was staring at Colleen. First it had been the deep blue of her eyes. Then the richness of her smile. It wasn't until she found herself fixed on the swell of Colleen's breasts beneath her yellow blouse that Jackie quickly shifted her attention. She knew she was blushing, hoping that perhaps it wasn't too noticeable with her rich tan. If Colleen did note it, she didn't mention it.

Jackie wasn't sure when exactly the conversation had shifted, but Colleen was now talking about what it was like growing up as a teenage lesbian. Jackie was very uncomfortable talking about personal subjects in public places like restaurants, but she was so fascinated by the young doctor's tale.

"By the time I was 16, I knew that I was different than most of my girlfriends." Colleen said. "All they wanted to talk about was boys while my dreams began to be filled with images of them. I don't know what I would've done if it wasn't for Madeline."

"Madeline?" Jackie asked.

"My best friend. We grew up together." Colleen replied. "One night we pulling an all night study session. We were taking a break and the conversation turned to boys. I was giving the usual line about the guys in our classes. The last thing I wanted to be was singled out as someone weird."

Jackie was spellbound, Colleen could've been talking about her own life.

"Then out of the blue, Madeline broke down and said that she wasn't interested in boys. That she was some sort of freak because all she had dreams about were all the other girls - me included." she continued. "Then she began to cry like a baby over her admission. Nothing I could say could stop her crying. I felt so bad, at least she had found the courage to finally say it."

Colleen took another sip of her drink.

"Then, for the lack of any other ideas, I kissed her. I kissed her as passionately as any guy kissed a girl, putting years of desire into that one moment. Needless to say, we never got back to the books that night."

Her mind raced with possibilities as Jackie compared Colleen's teen years with her own. She listened as Colleen explained how she and Madeline spent first hours, then days exploring their deepest feelings - finally becoming secret lovers. A relationship that had lasted until they went away to different colleges.

Jackie couldn't help but wonder how her life might've been different if she and Mary Catherine had underwent such a catharsis. Would she be happier today?

"Did you come out in high school? That's what you call it, right, coming out? " Jackie asked.

"No, although I did have a few relationships in both college and med school, I still pretty much kept my sexuality low key.

It wasn't hard, people really didn't expect you to date a lot of guys when you were a med student."

"What made you finally come out, if you don't mind me asking?" said Jackie, hoping that she wasn't asking too many questions.

"Well, it was an incident during my first year of residency."

she began, obviously more than happy to relate the episode. "I'd been scheduled to have a gynecological exam by one of the senior residents, a Doctor Owen Ryan. He was completing my medical history and was just asking a few personal questions.

"Are you sexually active, Ms. O'Conner?" the 52 year old asked.

"Yes, I am." the intern replied.

"And what form of birth control do you usually use?"

"Well, actually..." she began after a moments hesitation. "I don't use any form of birth control."

"Excuse me." Dr. Ryan said, looking up from the folder he was writing in.

"I said, I don't use any form of birth control." Colleen repeated.

Dr. Ryan's voice suddenly rose a few octaves and his next words had an undertone of anger in them.

"Young lady...." he began.

Colleen cringed. It'd been her experience that no statement that had ever began with the words "young lady" was ever a good one.

".... I realize that many people your age consider yourself indestructible. That things always happen to someone else, never to them. Too many times I've seen even highly educated people like yourself put themselves into situations that should never have happened. It's totally irresponsible that a woman such as yourself would take such a cavalier attitude toward her own body. Do you realize what an unexpected pregnancy at this point in your life would do to your career here at Riverside Memorial?"

"Doctor, I don't think I really have to worry about that happening." Colleen said, now sorry that she just didn't lie and say she was on the pill or something.

"And why might that be?" he asked, his tone reflecting indignation.

"Because I'm a lesbian." she answered, her voice strong and firm.

"That was the first time I'd ever said that to anyone other than a lover." Colleen said to Jackie, concluding the anecdote. "And it signaled a change in how I looked at myself. From that day on, I never made any attempt to hide what I was. I didn't march down the hospital quad with a sign saying "dyke" or take out an ad in the Times or anything like that. But if anyone asked, I simply said, yes I am."

At that point, they were interrupted by the waitress with the check. Jackie reached for her pocketbook but Colleen raised her hand.

"I invited you, remember."

Jackie answered with a smile.

"Why don't we head over to my apartment, its only a few blocks over on Willow." Colleen suggested as she left a hefty tip for the waitress. "We can continue our conversation there, if you like?"

"I'd like that." Jackie nodded.

As they walked the few blocks, Jackie related the story of her own life. How she wished she'd had a "Madeline" to confide in. She told of how her closest friend had left her husband for another woman, and how she secretly wished she'd been that woman. She even told her about that dream she kept having, the one with all of her girlfriends in a lesbian orgy.

"I've never been into group scenes myself." Colleen remarked as they turned the corner onto Pierpont. "But I have a friend who is always asking me to join a threesome. She and her lover are really into having a third woman join them."

Walking and chatting, Jackie was amazed at how natural this now felt. The nervousness she had felt when confronted by Judy a short hour and a half was now totally gone. In fact, if that encounter with Judy happened tomorrow instead of today, Jackie was sure her response would be different as well.

A few blocks later, the two women found themselves standing in front of a three story building. A wide stoop led to an open porch on the first floor And huge double doors rested at the top of the stairs. It was typical of the others on the street, large windows to let in the sunlight and wooden shutters in the bottom half of them to preserve privacy.

"You live here?" Jackie asked, thinking it was so much larger that the basement apartment she and Billy occupied.

"Yes, I do." Colleen said as she began to walked up the stoop. "Top floor."

"It must be expensive." the younger woman said, keeping in mind some of the rents she had seen when she was browsing on Montague St. Several of the real estate offices had pictures and prices posted in the windows.

"Actually, I own the building." Colleen said. "It seemed so much more practical than renting."

"Really?" Jackie asked. She could only imagine what a building like this would cost. With what Billy and her made together, they couldn't even come up with a down payment on a fixer-upper.

Before Colleen could reach for the door, it swung open as two other women stepped out. The first woman was tall, about 5'9".

Jackie could've guessed she was about 45 or so. Short curly red hair was pinned back by a headband. She as wearing a blue blouse and tennis shorts.

"Afternoon, Colleen." she said.

"Hi, Pamela." came the smiling reply.

"Could I speak to you a moment?" Pam asked.

"Sure." the doctor said. "Excuse me a minute, ok?" she said to Jackie.

"Of course." Jackie replied.

The two older women moved to the far end of the porch and engaged in quiet conversation for a few minutes. While this was going on, Jackie suddenly became away that the second woman was staring at her. She hadn't said a word since coming out of the house and Jackie wasn't sure if she should start up a conversation. So instead she just smiled.

The girl was oriental, about 5'4" and very slim. The two tennis rackets she carried seemed big in her hands. A round pleasant face hid her age. She had straight black hair cut so short that it reminded Jackie of the crewcuts her father had forced on her brothers every summer while growing up. In fact, if not for the small swell of tiny breasts beneath the simple white T-shirt she wore, Jackie would've taken the androgynous woman for a teenage boy. She couldn't see her eyes behind the small round dark green sunglasses she wore but Jackie could feel then on her. It took a moment for her to associate the feeling, then it hit her. It was the same one she got when one of Billy's friends was undressing her with his eyes. Jackie was unsure if she should be embarrassed or flattered.

".......just stop by my office tomorrow and I'll take a look at it." Jackie heard Colleen say as the two women rejoined them.

Jackie watched as Pam and her friend went down the steps and started up the block. Colleen had to call her attention to the fact that she was waiting at the open door.

"Something wrong?" Colleen asked.

"Nothing really." Jackie replied as she turned around.

She took a few steps to catch up to Colleen then paused and asked.

"Are those two....I mean are they like....Oh this is a stupid thing to ask."

"Are they lesbians like me?" Colleen laughed.

"Well yes." Jackie said sheeplessly.

"Actually they are. Pam and Soo-Ja have been together for about three years now. Why do you ask?"

"Well, this is really silly." said the younger woman. "But I couldn't help feeling like Soo-Ja was checking me out."

"No!" Colleen said in mock horror.

"I guess it was kind of a silly idea." Jackie grinned.

"Still...." Colleen said with a broad smile. "You are most definitely worth checking out."

This time, Jackie's blush showed through her tan.

"Does that embarrass you?" Colleen inquired.

"It shouldn't, but I've never really been checked out by a woman before."

"Just take it as the compliment it was intended as." said the doctor.

"Ok."

Passing the second floor landing, Colleen said hi to a much older woman who was coming out of her own apartment. She was somewhat heavy, Jackie would've put her weight about 165 lbs, the same as her Aunt Rose. Like her Aunt Rose, she had very large 38dd breasts.

"That was Dona." Colleen said as they started up the third level as Dona disappeared on her way to the ground level. "She lives here with her lover Gwen. They've been together for about twenty years."

"Is everyone is this building a lesbian?" Jackie asked. The idea of older woman spending their lives together had never even occurred to her.

"No, of course not." Colleen laughed as she reached her floor. "There's a darling heterosexual couple, Mark and Amy who live in 2rear and I have a young man who lives in the basement apartment who is most definitely straight. In fact, he even asked me out before I explained to him that I wasn't really interested."

"I hope that question didn't sound too strange?"

"No, I understand. To you it seems a little unusual. To me, it seems perfectly natural. After all, outside of Greenwich Village, Brooklyn Heights probably had the largest concentrations of gays and lesbians in the city. It's not like we're having orgies in our apartments or anything like that."

Colleen paused for a second and then corrected herself. "Well, maybe not all of us. Remember I mentioned my friends who are always looking for a third?"

Jackie nodded her remembrance.

"Well, you just met them." she laughed. "And if Soo-Ja really liked you, maybe I can get you an invite to their next party."

"I don't think I'm ready for that." Jackie laughed as well.

"I was only kidding."

With a flourish, Colleen swung open the door to her apartment. She stepped back and motioned for Jackie to precede her.

"Home sweet home." she said as her guest stepped past her.

Jackie couldn't help but be impressed. The apartment covered the entire top floor of the small apartment building, taking up the space of any two below it. Just the living room alone was bigger than her entire apartment.

"It's beautiful." Jackie said as she moved further inside.

"I would hope so." Colleen said as she closed the door behind them. "For all the money and time I've put into it. Let me take you on a quick tour."

Originally, Colleen's apartment had been two separate apartment. After buying the building, she'd had a large accessway, two thirds the length of the room, cut into the common wall. Room by room, she guided Jackie. The spacious living room with its oversized L shaped sofa and 52" television. The double sized kitchen which like the living room had be carved from the two smaller apartments. An excerise room filled with various equipment and a library filled with both medical texts and a collection of science fiction, history and assorted fiction. There was also a large bookcase filled with various videos, both regular and erotic.

The last room on the tour was the bedroom, and it quit literally took Jackie's breath away. The room was filled with sunlight from a skylight that measured over six feet across. Instead of a bed, a sunken pit occupied the center of the room, filled with a water mattress and pillows. The sheets were shiny red satin.

"God, you must be rich!" Jackie exclaimed. "To have all this."

"Not rich, just rather successful." Colleen said as she concluded the tour. "And a good part of this all still belongs to the bank."

She led Jackie back to the living room and said.

"I'm going to change, I've been in these clothes since this morning. Why don't you get us some ice teas or something from the fridge and I'll meet you out on the deck." she added, her hand indicating the double doors on the far end of the room.

"Sure." Jackie said as the doctor disappeared back into the bed room.

"So this is how the over half lives." Jackie thought to herself as she carried two tall ice teas out through the double doors.

The deck, turned out to be a rather large terrace. It was lined with actual trees set in oversized barrels, giving the deck a small measure of privacy. You could still see down into it from the upper levels of the huge apartment building down the block, but from the street it was invisible.

"Hope I didn't keep you waiting." Colleen said as she stepped out into the open air.

"No, not at all." Jackie said as she handed her an ice tea.

"I couldn't wait to get out of that suit." the doctor said as she sat down in one of the lawn chairs. "Most days I just throw a lab coat over a T-shirt and shorts when I go to the office, but I had to attend a meeting at the hospital this morning."

And it was a T-shirt and white shorts that she had changed into. The shirt was jet black with a map of the milky way on it. It had large white lettering and an arrow pointing to where earth would be. It read, "You are here."

"I really have to say I've enjoyed myself today." Jackie said as she drained the last of her tea.

"I'm glad." Colleen replied. "I just wanted to give you a chance to let some things off your chest. Just to let loose a little with no pressure or anything. Whatever you decide to do about any feeling you may or may not have, if will be up to you."

"I appreciate that." Jackie said. "You know, I never asked if you had a ...I mean if you lived here alone."

"If I had a lover, you mean. I noticed you have a little difficulty using that word in polite conversation. Many people seem to. Boyfriend or girlfriend seems so much safer.

It denotes friendship without being overly sexual. Lover on the other hand is pretty specific. But to answer your question, no I don't. I did live with someone for a few years. In fact she was the one who helped decorate most of the apartment. I was never really any good at things like that. Susan loved being the stay at home type."

"What happened to her." asked Jackie.

A sudden pallor fell across Colleen's normally cheerful face.

Jackie knew at once she'd asked the wrong question.

"I won't impress you with the medical terminology, but it fell under the catch all phrase of brain tumor." Colleen said, her voice abruptly reflecting a deep sadness. "That was the one time in my life I really hated being a doctor. I cried every night because I knew that there was absolutely nothing any of us could do for her. I couldn't even fool myself with the delusion of false hope that some doctors try to give the families of terminal patients. It's been 14 months now."

"I'm sorry." Jackie said, hoping that Colleen understood how much she really ment it.

"It's ok, if I've learned nothing else as a doctor it's that you should make the most out of the time you have. You only get one chance at it all."

Time. The word suddenly struck Jackie like a sledgehammer. Looking up at the clock, she gasped as she realized that it was already five thirty. She'd been with Colleen all afternoon.

"Omigod, I didn't realize it was so late." she exclaimed as she quickly rose from her chair. "I've got to get home."

"Well then lets get you there as fast as we can." Colleen replied. "Would it help if I drove you, my car is in the garage around the corner. It might be faster than the train."

Jackie thought about it for a moment. The way traffic backed up on the Gowanus Expressway and 3rd and 4th Ave at this time of day, a car wouldn't be faster at all. Besides, if anyone saw Colleen dropping her off, she'd have to explain who she was. Identifying her as the doctor she'd gone to see wouldn't really hold water. Nothing traveled faster in her neighborhood than gossip.

"Thank you, but I think the train will be quicker this time of day." Jackie said as she gathered up her purse.

"You're probably right."

Jackie abruptly halted in mid-motion. What was she doing? She'd felt so free this afternoon, able to enjoy herself for the first time in months. Now she was suddenly engulfed by the world she was trying to escape from. Running back to Billy in fear that he'd be upset that his dinner wasn't on the table. Was this what she wanted?

"Are you all right?" Colleen asked as she saw her stiffen.

"Yes, I'm ok." Jackie said, her sense of clarity quickly returning.

"You seemed a little perplexed for a moment."

"I was, but I'm ok now." Jackie said.

"Good, I was worried for a second." Colleen said. "I'll walk you to the subway station."

"That's not necessary." Jackie said as she stepped closer. "But, would it be ok, if I kissed you good-bye?"

"Of course." Colleen said with a wide smile.

At first, the kiss Jackie planted on Colleen's soft lips was like that she would give her sister. A light peck denoting tenderness and affection. Unable to resist the temptation, she kissed her again - this time with passion. Colleen felt the press of her tongue against her lips and opened to receive it. Sparks seemed to erupt across her tongue as Jackie felt it touch that of another woman's for the very first time.

Almost without thinking about it, Jackie reached up with her hand and cupped Colleen's naked breast beneath her shirt. It felt so nice, bringing another surge of emotion through her. Then the reality of what she was doing hit her and she pulled her hand away.

Jackie's hand had only gotten a few inches away when she felt Colleen's hand against her it. With a soft direction, she guided her hand back to the doctor's mound.

"It's ok." she whispered in Jackie's ear.

"I...I don't want to leave." Jackie said quietly as the fullness of the other woman's breasts filled her hand.

"Then don't." Colleen whispered back.

Colleen and Jackie spent the next twenty minutes sitting on a bench out on the patio, necking like a couple of high schoolers. Everytime she felt Colleen's tongue slip through her lips, Jackie's heart skipped a beat. She hadn't been this excited since the first time she'd made out with Bobby Marshall on his parent's couch. That had been back when they were 15. Unlike Bobby, Colleen's lips were soft and sweet, the taste of strawberry evident each time they pressed against her.

Another thing vastly different was the scent of perfume that filled her as she pressed against Colleen. So unlike the smell of a man, it was soft and gentle. It was also highly intoxicating.

"Why don't we get you a little more comfortable?" Colleen asked as she kissed Jackie one more time.

With that, she pulled the zipper of Jackie's dress all the way down, exposing the lacy strap of a blue bra. With no objection from Jackie, she pulled the flowery print down across her shoulders and then began to pull it further down toward her waist.

For a moment, Jackie felt very exposed. True, she regularly sunbathed topless in her backyard, much to the delight of both old Mr. Caruso in the next house and his teenage grandson Jeff. But she had never made love to anyone out in the open, much less another woman. She glanced up and around, noticing a few open windows in the tall building a few doors down. If someone where to just glance out the window, they would have a clear view of the two of them. Then, just as quickly as the thought occurred to her, she decided she didn't care.

Colleen began to kiss her way down Jackie's neck. Her eyes opened in appreciation as the doctor fully exposed the firm tanned mounds cradled in a sheer blue lace bra.

"That's a beautiful bra." Colleen said as she traced the outline of Jackie's breasts with her extended finger. "Did you wear it especially for me?" she asked with a smile.

Jackie answered with a smile as well. She had brought the sheer bra at Victoria's Secrets for Valentine's Day last year but had never gotten to wear it. Billy had gotten tickets for the Ranger's game at the last minute. Dinner with the wife ran a poor second to 3rd row seats. Switching it for her normal plain white platex had been a sudden last minute inspiration, to make up for the simple dress she'd worn over it.

"You're breasts are so beautiful." the blonde purred as she planted a soft kiss on the top of each of Jackie's enclosed globes.

A gentle tug on the thin material exposed the dark nipple beneath it. The erect tip was only visible a brief moment before it vanished between the warm vise of Colleen's lips.

A loud sign erupted from Jackie as she felt the wetness engulf her wide aureole. After years of having Billy paw and maw her breasts for a few moments before moving on to his real interest, it was a genuine pleasure to lay back and let someone who really enjoyed it play with them.

With only one nipple exposed, it was obvious that Colleen was going to take her time. Her tongue darted to and fro, tracing wide circles around the bronzed nipple. Then she would tickle it directly before taking it whole into her mouth again.

Like a babe seeking nourishment, the older woman nurtured at the source. Each movement of her tongue, each nip of her teeth, send previously unimaginable sensations though Jackie's reclining form.

"Oh, this feels so good." Jackie moaned as she laid back with her eyes closed and just enjoyed the feel of Colleen's attentions.

A few minutes later, Colleen exposed the other tanned breast and repeated her performance. Sending Jackie further into a blissful state.

Finally satisfied. Colleen turned her attention away from her new playthings and kissed Jackie again. This time the kiss was brief, just enough to signal a temporary end to their play.

"I want to try that on you." Jackie said, wondering what it would finally be like to have another woman's breasts to taste.

"Oh you will soon enough, my new love." Colleen said as she planted another kiss, this time on the cheek. "But I think we should be practical for a moment."

Jackie looked at Colleen for a moment. A puzzled look on her face.

"This is already going far beyond what I had planned." the doctor said. "Not that I want to complain, mind you. But if you do plan to stay for a while, I think it might be a good idea if you called home and told them."

"Called home and tell them what?"

"Well, how bout just that you were having dinner with a friend." Colleen suggested. "I'd feel better if they at least heard from you. That way they wouldn't worry."

"Well, aside from the fact that there's no dinner on the table, I don't think that Billy would even notice I was gone."

Jackie said as she fixed up her bra and then pulled her dress back up. "But if it would make you feel better, sure."

With that, she followed Colleen back into the apartment. Sitting down beside one of the end tables, she picked up the phone. The phone rang five times and she wondered where Billy might be. He normally should've been home a half hour ago. If nothing else, she'd leave a message on the answering machine.

"Hello?" said the voice in the receiver, catching Jackie off guard.

"Bill?" she said.

"Jackie!" he said, surprise in his voice. "Where the hell are you?" he asked, surprise being replaced by anger.

"What do you mean where the hell are you?" she said, immediately feeling defensive.

"I come home from work and you're not here. There's no dinner on the table and Mom says you went to see some kind of doctor."

"First of all," Jackie said, trying hard to keep her own anger in check. "I had an appointment. I mentioned it to you last night but you weren't paying attention." she lied, knowing full well that he wouldn't remember even if she had.

"What the fuck for?" he shouted.

"A small woman's problem...." she began, confident that she wouldn't have to go any further.

True to form, Bill quickly changed the subject. Like so many of his friends, he never wanted to hear about 'woman's problems'.

"As far as dinner goes, it wouldn't kill you to make something for a change." she said, angry at herself that she let him bring her down to his level so easily.

"I didn't have to." Billy replied, "When you weren't home, Momma made me something."

Jackie resisted the impulse to say something to the effect that she should've know.

"What time are you going to be home?" Billy asked.

"That's why I'm calling." she began. "I ran into a friend and we had lunch. Now she'd like to have me for dinner."

A wicking grin formed on Jackie's face at the irony of what she'd just said. Of course Billy would never get the joke.

"Shit, you can't do that." Billy thundered. "It's Friday night."

"Friday?" Jackie repeated, trying to recall the significance of the day.

"Tonight's my night to host the poker game." Billy went on. "I was depending on you to make sandwiches and snacks for the guys."

"Damn, I'd forgotten all about that." Jackie thought to herself. "That's the last thing I need right now."

Billy usually lost big time in those games and then got drunk. Then by the time he finally crawled into bed he want to fuck, just to prove what a man he was. Of course after all the alcohol he'd downed, he couldn't get it up. Something which made him even more disagreeable.

"Order pizza or something." she suggested. "I'm going to be home pretty late."

Over the receiver, she could just picture his building rage. Something that he'd be waiting up to express.

"In fact," she went on as she looked at Colleen. "I think I'll just spend the night over here, that way I don't have to worry about coming home in the dark."

A nod of the blonde woman's head told Jackie that she had no problem with her inviting herself to stay. If she had, Jackie would just gone to one of her girlfriends house for the night.

It wouldn't have been the first time, especially after a really boisterous argument.

Billy started to say something but Jackie cut him off. She had to go, she told him. His loud voice was still clearly heard across the room as Jackie replaced the receiver.

"Well, that could've gone better." She grinned.

"I could hear him all the way over here." Colleen said as she drew closer. "Maybe that wasn't such a good idea after all."

"No, you were right. It was better to let him know that I wasn't in the morgue or something." she said, trying to make light of the argument. "Not that he'd have gone looking for me until after the game. I hope I wasn't out of line in inviting myself to stay."

"No, of course not." Colleen replied as she reached up and rubbed Jackie's shoulders.

"Oh, that feels good." Jackie said in a low tone as the older woman's strong fingers rubbed against her collar.

"I could feel the tension all the way across the room." Colleen noted as she applied a little more pressure. "You're wound as tight as can be."

Colleen shifted one hand and took her pulse at the base of her neck. It was racing.

"You could use a good massage." Colleen said. "Work out all of that anxiety."

"That would be wonderful." Jackie purred, loosing herself in Colleen's talented hands.

Colleen worked her magic on Jackie's tired muscles for another minute or so, then she took her by the hand and led her across the living room to the small exercise room. Unlike the carpeted living room, the room had a hard wood floor and two of it's four walls were mirrored, much like a dance studio. A varied collection of exercise equipment lined the walls, including a treadmill and an exercise bike. It was obvious that Colleen took her workouts seriously.

"Why don't you make yourself comfortable." the doctor said as she pulled a large eight foot mat from the closet and spread it out on the floor.

A little self consciously, Jackie began to again remove her clothing. Colleen might have had almost 15 years on her, but Jackie hadn't look as fit as her even back in high school when she was a cheerleader. Still, the older woman seemed almost oblivious to her nudity as she finished with the padded mat.

"It's a lot easier giving a massage on the floor than on my bed." Colleen quipped as she motioned for the now naked Jackie to lay down. "Wouldn't want you getting seasick now, would we?"

Jackie forced a little laugh, trying to hide her nervousness.

She wished she had kept up her daily exercises.

"Something wrong?" Colleen asked, picking up on Jackie's awkward motions.

"I was just thinking that I should work out more." she replied.

"Nonsense, you look beautiful." Colleen said with a smile. "Good enough to eat." she grinned.

Now Jackie's laugh was genuine. The older woman's comment had put aside her momentary worry. She had been so worried that she'd be found wanting. .

"I wasn't sure you'd find me attractive." Jackie said as she headed for the mat. "I was even wondering if I should shave my pussy."

"Oh, I'm so glad you didn't." Colleen said as she took a good look at the thick dark bush between Jackie's tanned legs.

"Personally, I like a hairy bush."

Laying down on her stomach, Jackie turned her head so she could see Colleen's reflection in the wall length mirror. She so wanted to watch her undress but didn't want to be too obvious about it. She could feel her heart again racing, this time for a different reason. She couldn't even begin to guess how many women she'd seen nude in her life, but this was the first time she'd looked at one in a "real" sexual situation. It was like the first time she'd seen a guy naked.

Try as she did to hide it, it was obvious to Colleen what Jackie was trying to do. The thought pleased her immensely. She always enjoyed showing off the body she worked so hard to maintain.

Positioning herself where Jackie would have a good view of her reflection, Colleen took a grip on the bottoms of her black T-shirt and pulled it up over her head. Caught by the material, her rounded globes were pulled upward and bounced in the air as they were released. There was no doubt in Jackie's mind that those were the most perfect breasts she had ever seen.

Unlike Jackie, it was obvious that Colleen preferred to sunbathe wearing a top. Her tan was slight but contrasted greatly with the light skin of her breasts. In the center of the pale skin were two large pink circles, radiating around thick stubby nipples.

A wide smile filled Colleen's face as she took her now freed mounds and rubbed them. Conscious of Jackie's intense gaze, she played with her nipples, bringing them to an even greater erectness. Her tongue glided across her lips and not for the first time she wished she could lick her own nipples.

Next came her shorts, followed moments later by a pair of plain white panties. Jackie noted with interest that Colleen's own blonde bush was as wild and busy as her own.

Jackie could feel the wetness building between her legs as she enjoyed the sights before her. The growing smile on her face brought one to Colleen's own.

Short gentle steps brought her the the edge of the floor mat.

Colleen dropped to her knees and placed her hands on Jackie's back. A soft sign escaped the tanned woman's lips as she again felt the forceful caress on her shoulders.

"Oh, that feels so good." Jackie sighed.

"It gets better." Colleen replied as she reached under Jackie's prone form and stroked the sides of her breasts.

The soft sighs grew in intensity until they became moans. The physician's fingers glided down the sides of the younger woman until they came to her buttocks. There, she took a firm grip and pulled them up and apart, exposing the wet mound beneath it.

"Like I said," She purred. "Good enough to eat."

Colleen bent down and kissed Jackie's left buttock, then her right. Each succeeding kiss brought her closer to the moist center. Finally, her kisses hit home and a slight shiver shook Jackie's body. Pulling harder, Colleen gave herself greater access and kissed her again, this time pushing her searching tongue up into the exposed cavity.

"Mmmmm" she said as the tangy taste of her new love filled her mouth.

Unable to restrain herself any longer, she began to work her tongue in and out of the opening. Faster and faster it moved, sending tiny sparks of delight up into Jackie.

"Oh yes," she said as she enjoyed the sensation. "More, more."

Colleen was more than willing to reply to the request. Even as her talented tongue wove a wet path up and down Jackie's slit, Colleen's hands began to again roam across her body. Again sliding up and under, she cupped Jackie's firm breasts and played with her nipples, bringing even louder moans from the younger woman.

"Turn over." She said, guiding Jackie with a gentle touch.

Jackie was quick to respond, quickly flipping over onto her back and giving Colleen full and unrestricted access.

Colleen lowered herself to a position directly over Jackie. Then she shifted position just a little, raising herself so that her breasts were hanging directly over Jackie's mouth.

There was no mistaking her intention and Jackie was eager to reply. She reached up with her tongue and caressed the nipple of Colleen's left breast. The doctor had the biggest, thickest nipples Jackie had ever seen. As she took it into her mouth, she couldn't help imagining that it was a baby's bottle. She had to surpress a laugh when she realized a moment later that was what it actually was.

"Mmmm." Colleen moaned as she felt the warm embrace of Jackie's mouth. You do that well, are you sure you haven't done this before?"

Jackie was greatly pleased with the blondes reaction as she again ran her probing tongue around the wide aureole before once more engulfing it whole. A thousand times she had imagined what it would be like tasting another woman's breasts. None of those fantasies could compare with the real thing.

After a few more minutes, Colleen shifted breasts and gave Jackie a chance to work her neophyte urges on her other mound.

As she worked her way across this new morsel, Jackie was again overwhelmed by the combination of Colleen's natural scent and the perfume she wore. It was strongest in the deep valley between her breasts, a place Jackie would've never thought of wearing it.

Finally Colleen shifted again, bringing herself downward so that she could kiss Jackie anew. As their lips met, she pressed her breasts hard against the woman beneath her, rubbing their nipples against each other.

"I want to taste you." Jackie whispered in Colleen's ear. "I want to bring you the same joy that you brought me."

"Of course you do, my dear." Colleen replied in the same quiet tone.

After a final kiss, she lifted herself off Jackie and rose to her feet. She straddled the younger woman and spread open her tunnel of delight above her. Jackie sat up quickly and stuck her eager face between the outstretched legs. A smile crossed her lips when she realized that this was just about exactly the position she had imagined Kelly and Donna using in her fantasy.

And like Donna, Jackie wasted no time in reaching up with her tongue and probing the inner reaches of Colleen's womanhood. A sudden rush filled Jackie as the first taste of female juices hit her tongue. True, out of curiosity, she had tasted herself several times, but this was different. This was another woman.

Determined to excel in her new activity, she slid her tongue around and around. Her left hand played with Colleen's clit as she tried to reach out with her tongue, hitting all the places that she knew were the most sensitive in her own body.

Colleen helped with her efforts with both a gentle hand on the back of her head, guiding her, as well as a steady stream of soft moans. The closer Jackie got the right spots, the louder the moans became.

Minutes quickly stretched to over a quarter hour and what had begun as soft gentle surges in Colleen's body had progressed until they became rapid torrids. She was now trashing her saturated pussy against Jackie's open and ever enthusiastic mouth, almost unable to believe that this novice was going to bring her to climax. Another powerful bodyquake gripped her body, causing her to stiffen momentarily. From past experiences, she knew the next time would be the one to send her over the abyss.

If Colleen was amazed, Jackie was totally astonished at the result of her efforts. As infrequent as her own orgasms had been, she still recognized the impending explosion building in Colleen. The though that she was the cause of that eruption drove her even harder.

"Oh God!" Colleen screamed as a tidal wave of passion ripped across her shaking body.

Copying a move she had once seen in an adult movie, Jackie grabbed Colleen's ass and pressed her face as hard against her cunt as she could. An action that drove her tongue in as deep as was possible. For this, she was rewarded with what seemed to be endless eruptions of girlcum. Waves which quickly overflowed from her mouth and spread out across her face. A flood that brought no end to the secret delight she felt in knowing she had caused it.

"That was incredible." Colleen said as she dropped to the floor and sat down beside Jackie. "I can't remember the last time I came like that."

Then with a smile she leaned over and kissed Jackie one more time.

"Think you're ready for round two?" She asked as she broke the kiss.

Jackie's answer was a deeper, even longer kiss.

Ten minutes later, the two woman found themselves in the large spacious shower in Colleen's custom designed bathroom. A warm drizzle of water splashed across their bodies, washing away the sweat and sticky residue of their exertions.

The waste products of lust were quickly replaced by a thick and rich layer of soapy lather. Slippery hands explored naked flesh, alternating with long lingering kisses. Jackie couldn't remember the last time she'd had this much fun. In all the time Bill and her had been together, they'd never taken a shower together.

Jackie took one of Colleen round orbs into her mouth and suckled like a babe in her mother's arms. She closed her eyes and just lost herself in the taste and sensation of woman-flesh. Her only regret was that she hadn't sampled it years before.

"As a doctor I feel I should warn you." Colleen said as she eased her breast from Jackie's mouth. "This could easily become habit forming." she laughed.

"I'll take my chances." Jackie quipped as she quickly closed on her other breast.

So engrossed in the special delight found in Colleen's beautiful mounds, Jackie didn't feel the soft moment of the doctor's hands as they slid down across her back. She only became aware of it when she felt a moist soapy finger slip inside her.

As the finger was soon joined by a second, then a third, Colleen slid her hand in and out at an ever increasing pace. With each thrust of her hand, a new wave of rapture flowed through Jackie's body until she finally had to reluctantly release her hold on Colleen's nipple.

"Fuck me," she panted as she leaned against the tiled wall. "Fuck me, I need it so bad."

In response, Colleen pressed hard against Jackie's tan body, rubbing her wet flesh against hers. Their lips met again and again. Jackie opened her mouth to say something was cut off by the entry of Colleen's forceful tongue.

Continuing to frig the dark framed pussy, Colleen slid an equally slick finger into her tight anus. Lubricated by the soap and water, it slid in easily and it wasn't long before

she was finger-fucking both Jackie's erotic holes in equal fury.

Jackie's eyes popped open in surprise, no one had touched her there in years. In an attempt to show Bill how nice it could feel, she once tried to slide her own finger up his ass. His reaction was slightly less than if she'd touched him with a hot iron. That was something that only faggots did, he protested.

"Well I guess I'm officially a faggot now." she said out loud, not realizing she had said it.

If Colleen heard her, she gave it no mind. Instead she continued her rapid hand motions until she looked into Jackie's face and saw a look that she could only describe as craving.

From her experiences with other women, Colleen recognized her need. It wasn't one she shared, but one she was more than willing to indulge.

"Let's move to the bedroom." she said. "I have something I think you're going to like."

Still dripping wet, the two naked woman slid into the sunken pit containing the waterbed. It was like bouncing on a mound of jello as they pushed aside the silk sheets and landed in each other's arms.

Colleen planted a fiery kiss on Jackie's lips and she pulled the young married woman tight against her. Jackie responded in turn, her own body aflame in the passion of the moment.

"You said something about a surprise." She panted as they finally broke the kiss.

A broad grin filled Colleen's face as she separated herself from Jackie and reached over her shoulder to open one of the small shelves cut into the walls of the bed pit. From within she removed two objects. Jackie tried to see what they were but Colleen was blocking them from view.

"Your choice." The doctor said as she turned around and held up her two hands. In each was one of the objects from the cubby hole.

In Colleen's left hand was a white vibrator, much like the one she's seen one night at Maria Santiago's house back in senior year. The other girls had all expressed some degree of shock that Maria had even had such a thing. Of course that shock hadn't prevented any of them from taking a turn in the bathroom with Maria's little toy - Jackie included.

In Colleen's right hand was something that Jackie had never seen outside of an adult movie or a sexual aids catalogue. It was a rubber replica of a man's cock and balls. Longer and thicker than Billy's real cock, it was fitted at the base with a series of straps, allowing it to be worn like the real thing. It immediately brought to mind the image from her fantasy of Janet using one much like it on Karen.

"That one!" Jackie gushed as she pointed in the direction of Colleen's right hand.

Dropping the vibrator back into the small opening, Colleen stood up and began to strap on the artificial cock. She wasn't surprised that Jackie had chosen this particular toy. Like many of her bisexual friends, Jackie still associated sex with her being penetrated. It was because of them that she even had toys like this.

"Ready?" Colleen asked as she tightened the last strap.

"Oh yes!" Jackie answered, the excitement in her voice clearly evident.

Her heart racing, Jackie quickly turned over and positioned herself on all fours. She pushed her ass up in the air, inviting Colleen to take her. Normally, she hated it when Billy wanted to fuck in this position, associating it with submission. Yet right now she viewed it differently. She wasn't submitting to Colleen, she was giving her body as a gift.

Colleen was also finding herself somewhat surprised by her reaction to the situation. Normally, she would use a dildo on a lover with the same enthusiasm that most men had when they performed cunnilingus. They weren't crazy about it, but it made their lover happy so they did it for that reason. Yet this time, she found herself looking forward to it.

Moving closer, Colleen reached up between Jackie's widely spread legs and rubbed her fingers across the length of Jackie's cunt. Then she slipped two fingers inside of her and pumped them a few times. She continued for a few minutes until she was satisfied that Jackie was as lubricated as she was going to be.

"Oh yes..." Jackie moaned, her face buried against the soft resilient surface of the waterbed.

Removing her now wet fingers, Colleen took the cocktoy in hand and pressed it against the opening of Jackie's womanhood.

She rubbed it up and down a few times, covering the head with a shiny coating of natural lubricant.

Then Colleen pressed forward and a loud gasp escaped the younger woman's lips as she felt the hard head of the artificial manhood enter her.

"Ooooo." Jackie moaned.

Colleen pulled back slightly, then pressed forward again. This time the dildo penetrated twice as far and she could feel the walls of Jackie's pussy closing around it. She repeated the action, driving the fake organ to half its full length.

"More, more!" Jackie repeated.

Colleen's third thrust sent her "manhood" deep into the woman beneath her, until the rubber balls slapped against the soft flesh of her ass.

Jackie felt a burning within her, a sudden pain that she found strangely exciting. The thought that it was another woman within her instead of a man proved much more exciting that the temporary discomfort.

"Fuck me!" She cried out. "Fuck me as hard as you can!" Jackie added, surprised at her own words.

Colleen took a hard grip on Jackie's tanned hips and began to fuck her in ernest. Each lunging motion came harder than the last, causing Jackie to buck up and down, her now raised head thrashing from side to side.

Jackie had quickly been caught up in the rhythm of Colleen's movements, now slamming herself back to meet each forward thrust. Her long brown hair flew every which way as a hot sweat covered her body.

Colleen too found herself becoming lost in the firestorm that was consuming her lover. She could feel the heat of her passion through the conduit that made them one. Her own breaths were now coming in short spurts as she too felt the effects of a racing pulse.

The loud grunts of delight from the thrashing woman beneath her filled her ears like a symphony. And like a good conductor, she quickened the pace even more.

"Oh yes!" Jackie screamed as Colleen entered her again and again. "Harder, harder!"

The older woman abruptly withdrew her now saturated dildo from the sex crazed woman. Before Jackie could react, Colleen pulled hard on her bronze legs and they suddenly gave way beneath her. Her legs hardly hit the warm surface beneath them when the older woman grabbed the side of Jackie's waist and flipped her over.

Continuing the motions, she pulled the woman's legs apart as soon as she was on her back. Without any preliminaries, she plunged her phallic toy deep within Jackie. The new missionary position allowed an even greater penetration and caught Jackie by surprise. Colleen went on like a woman possessed, keeping up a steady pumping motion that was driving Jackie wild.

Jackie wrapped her long legs around Colleen's back, pulling their bodies tight against each other. This caused Colleen's thrusts to be restricted to shorter strokes, but they now came at double the frequency. The shiny surface of the bed beneath them was becoming increasingly wet with the mix of sweat and sex dripping off each of their bodies.

With Jackie's dark breasts now readily available, Colleen went to work on them as well. A frenzy of tongue and mouth sent ripples of delight across Jackie's writhing form. Sensations that only added to the fire radiating from between her legs.

"I'm.... going... to.... cum!" Jackie spit out between gasps.

"Not yet!" Colleen called out in response.

In that same instant, she again pulled out of Jackie's tight pussy and in one quick fluid motion, replaced the toy with her mouth.

Her eager tongue raced across Jackie's clit, providing the final spark to set off a conflagration of unbridled lust. Jackie exploded as never before, with a force she could never have imagined. Her body quaked with such force that for a moment she feared she was going to black out.

While she herself hadn't climaxed, the fruits of her efforts that now covered her face were rewards enough for Colleen. It had been quite some time since she'd enjoyed herself this much. It had been far too long she told herself.

Long silent minutes passed as the two women lay entwined. It took that long for both of their bodies to calm down to something resembling normal. Finally it was Colleen who broke the silence in a drained voice.

"Are you all right?" She asked as she shifted position and crawled up alongside Jackie.

"All right?" Jackie repeated in a similarly tired tone. "No, I'm not all right. I've never felt so exhausted in my entire life....."

She paused for a few seconds, catching her breath.

"But then again..." she continued. "I've never felt so incredibly satisfied in my life either."

The response brought both a smile and a equal feeling of satisfaction to Colleen. She leaned over and kissed Jackie softly. One kiss led to another, and it was a long time before they stopped.

It was with great reluctance that Jackie showered alone the next morning before she got dressed again. But she agreed with Colleen that if she joined her, they only start all over again.

By the time she dressed, Colleen had also showered and was already ready for her day.

"That was fast." Jackie said as she walked out onto the patio to find Colleen fully dressed and pouring a cup of coffee.

"A holdover from my years as an intern." Colleen said as she replaced the small glass coffeepot on the table. "You learned how to wash and dress in a hurry."

"I'm not really sure how to say this," Jackie said as she sat down at the table and took a sip of the hot coffee. "But yesterday was the most incredible day of my life. I would never have believed before that you could be that comfortable with another person."

"I'm glad you enjoyed it." Colleen replied as she took a small bite out of her pastry. "And I have to admit, I really enjoyed it too. A lot more than I expected to."

"So where do we go from here?" Jackie asked, a little fearful of the response.

"I guess that's up to you." said Colleen. "Like I said in my email, there were no strings attached in our meeting yesterday. I didn't plan what happened, and I'd understand if you wanted to just let it become a memory. A pleasant memory, but a memory never the less."

"Just ships passing in the night?" Jackie asked.

"Not exactly how I'd put it, but something like that."

"And if I wanted it to be more than that?" Jackie asked, taking another sip of her coffee.

"Then again, it's up to you." came Colleen's reply as she stopped nibbling and gave the woman across the table her full and undivided attention.

"To be perfectly honest, I would like to see you again." she began. "Not just because the sex was great, and believe me, it was. From just the short time we've spent together I've developed enough of an impression of you that I think that we could be friends...close friends and perhaps much more. But at the same time, I want you to be attracted to me because I can give you something you need, and not because you're just running away from something or someone."

"In other words, work out my problems with Billy first." Jackie said.

"Exactly."

"I suppose I could just tell him where I was last night, that would sure put a end to our problems." Jackie quipped. "I'd only have to worry about how far I'd bounce when he threw me out."

Colleen laughed at the image.

"But you're right, I should be sure of what I'm doing and why."

"In the meantime, if you need to talk, I'm always willing to listen." said Colleen.

"And have lunch or something..." Jackie added.

"Perhaps, but lets just take it slow, agreed?"

"Agreed." Jackie smiled.

Breakfast was quickly finished and Colleen walked Jackie out.

They were standing on the porch saying their good-byes when Jackie noticed a familiar face down on the street. Standing in front of the house next store, looking right up at Colleen and her, was Judy from the Promenade.

A sudden impulse filled Jackie. If nothing else, it showed how far she had come in the last twenty four hours. Catching Colleen totally by surprise, she leaned over and kissed her on the lips. Committing such an act in public was more a declaration of her independence that anything they'd done in private.

"Thank you." she said as she turned and walked down the stairs.

Reaching the bottom, she turned and waved good-bye to Colleen one last time before she disappeared back into the house. As she passed Judy, she made sure she said hello.

"It's a beautiful day, isn't it?" she said.

To which Judy readily agreed.

As she walked down the street, she could feel Judy's eyes on her, watching the sway of her ass. The feeling that filled her could definitely no longer be called virginal.
