_____ Taylor and her lover of six years were at an impasse. The relationship
had run its course and was now just an exercise in futility and they both knew it. They no longer made love like they
used to, nor did they do any of the things that brought them together in the first place. They both knew it should end but
both were too comfortable in their mired relationship to say what needed to be said. Pack up their respective shit and get
on with their lives. They were more like sisters than lovers and it didn't seem to phase her lover in the least. Taylor on
the other hand was beside herself with grief over the loss of what was once such a fulfilling relationship and on a baser
level lust. She didn't mind the absence of some of the small things but, damn, the lack of sex was getting to her.
There's only so much self-love a sistah could give herself.
_____ After five months of sleeping with a chasm between them, Taylor
decided she'd had enough. She didn't want to cheat on her mate. She never wanted to do anything to hurt that woman but
she was about to lose her mind. She made up her mind that the best way to avoid the guilty feelings was to not go out in
search of anything actively. But if it presented itself to her, she'd be all over it. She always thought she should've gotten
out of this stagnant relationship years ago. Now she knew what they meant by familiarity breeding contempt.
_____ She had a job that allowed her Internet access so she figured she'd
browse the personal ads online just to see what was out there. She'd been out of the loop for so long she didn't know if
she still had game. She figured she could test out her skills in a chat room or two to knock the dust off. She picked
looking4U as her tag. After a couple of weeks of heavy browsing and chatting, Taylor still found no one that held her
attention. One day during a break, she received an instant message from someone by the name of
blackorchid.
_____ Blackorchid: Hi. I read your profile. You interest me.
Have a moment?
_____ Taylor was surprised. All the time she'd spent online perusing and she'd
never gotten a message. What harm could it do to answer?
_____ Looking4U: Hi. Sure, I have a moment. What's
up?
_____ Blackorchid: Like I said, I read your profile and I think
I'd like to get to know you better. Strictly platonic if that's what you'd prefer. But I think what you're looking for has
nothing to do with friendship Am I right?
_____ Who was this woman to assume what she was looking for, although she
was correct? Now Taylor was intrigued.
_____ Looking4U: How do you know all that? How could you
possibly know what I'm looking for? You don't even know me.
_____ Blackorchid: You're right, I may not know you
personally but, I think you're looking for me.
_____looking4U: Assuming that's true, tell me about
yourself
_____ Blackorchid: Why tell you when I can show you, love? ;-)
_____ By now Taylor was more than a little interested. This woman seemed
so confident and straightforward in her approach. And more than a little bold, she thought. She tried not to get too
carried away by anyone she met online as the actual product rarely lived up to the hype. This one had her more than a
little curious though.
_____ Looking4U: What do you mean, 'show me'? Are you
suggesting we meet or something? Don't you think that's a bit soon? I don't know anything about you.
_____ Blackorchid: You'll learn all you need to know when we
meet, love. I'm going to be having dinner at Adagio it's a nice little Italian place on Weed St. I have reservations for
7 tonight. How about you stop by and look for me. If you like what you see, stay and have dinner with me. If not, you
leave, no loss for either of us, right? I'm wearing a black suit I shouldn't be hard to find. I hope to meet you
tonight so you can stop your looking =)
_____ And with that she signed off. Taylor felt more than a little excitement at
the thought of something so clandestine. She'd never done anything like this before. She didn't get a chance to ask her
name, a description or anything. She considered this invitation all afternoon at work, weighing the pros and cons. She
decided since it was a public place and neither of them had seen the other it should be ok. If she walked in and this
woman was a beast, she'd just spin right around on her Joan & David loafers and go the fuck home. No harm, no foul.
And besides, she really wasn't in any rush to go home to her lover for yet another night of chaste cohabitation.
_____ Taylor took a cab to the restaurant. She knew the place well. They had
an R&B band that played well and lobster bisque that was surely the Food of the Gods. At least she has taste, she
thought. She arrived fifteen minutes early hoping to see her walk through the door. She refused a table, opting to sit at
the bar instead as it afforded her a better view of the room. The main dining area was dimly lit, with candles on all the
tables as well as throughout the room. Very romantic, she thought, trying to recall the last time she'd been romanced.
There were a few tables occupied by couples and groups but not packed and busy like it usually is. She ordered her
usual, Bombay Sapphire and cranberry juice. She was starting to feel a little nervous and needed something to steel her
resolve to stay and follow through with this.
_____ Taylor sipped her drink slowly. She didn't want to come off as a lush
her first time meeting this woman. She kept her eye on the door while trying to appear casual, watching the patrons
come and go, though no one in a black suit yet. She was hoping she wasn't being made a fool of and started to have
second thoughts. She checked her watch, 7:10pm. She looked up in time to see her come in. This had to be her: she
wore a black single-breasted suit with a black shirt and black loafers. Her complexion was the color of burnt caramel;
almond shaped eyes and some of the most kissable lips Taylor had ever seen. She watched as the woman joked with the
hostess like they were old pals, following the hostess to a table near the rear of the dining room. Taylor supposed the
woman had the same idea she did, sitting in back to get a better view of the room. She caught herself staring as the
woman strode by and slid into her booth. She was more attractive than Taylor thought she'd be. She really didn't know
what to expect but if this was blackorchid, she was definitely not disappointed.
*
_____ Kim was starting to feel a little stupid, arranging to meet some strange woman she didn't know for dinner. She was bold but damn, now she could add dumb to the list, too. What if this woman didn't show? What if she showed up and she was a psychopath? Ah well, she thought. It wasn't like she was having much progress with the prospects she'd been meeting as of late. And her gut told her she had nothing to worry about with this one. She knew she'd show up, if for nothing but curiosity's sake. And if she didn't, I still gotta eat, Kim thought. Kim being a regular at Adagio, she already knew the menu well enough to order from memory, so she took that time to scan the room. She panned over the tables, observing with little interest the couples engaged in conversation or enjoying their meals. Her server sidled up to her table, offering the specials of the night. Kim ordered her usual and a bottle of zinfandel, just in case the woman showed up. After placing her order, she continued her search of the room, looking for any woman that seemed alone. She figured any woman who showed up to such a romantic restaurant alone had to be the one she was looking for. She finally came to the bar area and though there were a few lone drinkers there, she spotted who she hoped to be her date for the evening.
*
_____ Taylor watched the woman survey the room as if she were looking for
someone she knew. That had to be her, she thought. The woman finally cast her eyes over to her spot on the bar and
their eyes locked. The woman smiled assuredly at Taylor from across the room as if she knew who she was. Taylor
mustered a smile in return and felt the pace of her heart quickening and her hands go damp. She remembered this
feeling when she first met her partner six years ago and this gave her pause. Surely the desperation she felt in her
relationship couldn't induce this reaction for someone she had never laid eyes on before, could it? The woman continued
to eye Taylor, causing Taylor to blush hotly. The woman seemed to be amused by her reaction and motioned for her to
join her. What if she wasn't blackorchid? , Taylor thought. She'd feel like such a fool. She seemed to be the only likely
candidate in the room, so this had to be her. She hoped.
_____ Taylor relinquished her claim to the barstool and strode over to the
booth with as much nonchalance as she could muster. She didn't want to give this woman the wrong idea, like she was
desperate or something, by rushing over to join her. Kim watched Taylor intently, enjoying the swish of her hips and her
attempt at indifference. How cute, Kim thought. She hoped this was her.
_____ Upon reaching the woman's table, Taylor suddenly had no idea what to
say. The woman sensed her unease and spoke up first. "Hi, my name's Kim. You look like you were waiting for
someone to show up. Would you like to join me for a glass of wine until they get here?"
_____"Um, sure. If it's no trouble", Taylor replied as she slid into the booth
opposite Kim.
_____"No trouble at all. I noticed you watching me from over there. I look like
someone you know or something?" Kim said, knowing now that this had to be her.
_____ "I was to meet someone here, someone I met online. She said she'd be
wearing a black suit and that's why I was looking, because of your suit", Taylor replied though she found she couldn't
hold this woman's steady gaze. It was like she was looking through her and it made Taylor a little uncomfortable. She
could feel this woman's eyes burn on her skin.
_____"Ah, I see. So you're looking for me then?" Kim said with a smirk on her
lips, referring to Taylor's online name. "That is your tag right? Looking4U?"
_____"Yes, that's me. I really didn't know what to expect and I wasn't sure I
should even come here. My name is Taylor, by the way."
_____"Well, I'm glad you decided to come, Taylor. I don't usually do this
kinda thing before you get the wrong idea. There was just something I sensed in your profile I guess. I'm sorry, my
name's Kim. Pleased to meet you", Kim said and offered her hand. Taylor accepted her handshake, noting how soft her
skin was and the strength of her grasp. Taylor always did like a woman with strong hands. She felt strong hands said
something about a woman's character. And to some degree, what kind of lover they'd be.
_____ "I hope you're hungry. This place has great food. Have you ever been
here before?" Kim asked, signaling to her server to bring another setting and menu.
_____"I've been here a few times. I like this place a lot but, it's bit too intimate
for dining alone so I haven't been here in awhile", Taylor answered.
_____"So, you're single then?" Kim asked, hoping that was the case.
_____"Well, to be honest with you, no. I have a partner but the last few years,
it's changed. A lot", Taylor offered.
_____ Kim smiled. Honesty, especially in this lifestyle, was truly refreshing.
Most of the women she'd met would sooner fall out and die than tell the truth about anything. She was beginning to like
the woman sitting across from her already.
_____ When their server returned, they ordered several appetizers and shared
the lobster bisque Taylor was so fond of. They talked about present and past relationships, their careers and things they
both enjoyed. They found they had a lot in common, so much so that they could've been mirror images personality-wise.
Taylor was surprised that she was having such a good time getting to know this woman. The laughter they shared was
easy and the conversation steady and unforced.
_____ They were just finishing their second bottle of zinfandel when Taylor
became aware of the time. Although things hadn't been good between her and her lover in a long time, she still respected
what was left. Kim sensed Taylor's thinking and hailed the server for the check.
_____"Time for you to head in, huh?" Kim asked, wishing they had more time.
She hadn't enjoyed a woman's company like this in a long time and there was still so much more she wanted to know
about Taylor. She hoped they'd have an opportunity to do this again, and soon.
_____"Yeah, I think I should go. My girlfriend will be calling CPD to find me
if I'm not home soon. I've had a great time, Kim. Really. ", Taylor said, reaching in her purse for her wallet.
_____"Oh no, put that back. I invited you so I'm paying. See? I told you I was
raised right", Kim joked as she handed the server her credit card. "Did you drive or can I offer you a ride somewhere? I
promise, I'll keep both hands on the wheel and my intentions are honorable", Kim added, eliciting a laugh from
Taylor.
_____ Taylor answered, "I took a cab here. If its not too much trouble, I'd
appreciate the ride if you are going my way. I live downtown so it's not far. And thank you for dinner. The next one's on
me, ok?"
_____"Deal. You ready?" Kim said, quickly scooping up her car keys and
sliding from the booth. She was ecstatic that she'd get to spend a little more time with Taylor. Though she prided herself
on being the perfect gentlewoman, she was having thoughts of a decidedly sensual nature about Taylor. She wondered if
Taylor was feeling the same since their dinner conversation had been surprisingly chaste, considering the circumstances
of their meeting.
_____ They exited the restaurant and waited under the small awning for the
valet to bring the car around. It was starting to rain lightly so they were impelled to stand close to one another to keep
from getting wet. They were so close Taylor could feel the buttons of Kim's blazer. Now it was Taylor whose thoughts
were leaning toward the sexual. She missed this feeling, the flirtation, the excitement of someone new, the sexual
tension Scratch the sexual tension. She had enough sexual tension at the crib.
_____The valet parked Kim's car right in front. After securing themselves
inside, Kim had a bright idea. And she hoped Taylor would agree to it.
"Listen Taylor. I hope I don't seem too forward or anything but, if you could spare me just a little more time with you,
I'd like to take you somewhere. It's on the way and I promise it won't take long. The only thing is, it's a surprise."
_____"A surprise, huh? Are your intentions still honorable?" Taylor flirted.
She loved surprises and especially surprises from women like Kim.
_____ Kim navigated the car along the local streets, bypassing Lake Shore
Drive as she wanted to take the long way to their destination. She wanted to show Taylor one of her favorite spots in the
city. She'd never taken anyone here before but, she liked Taylor and she really didn't want the evening to end just yet.
She had the feeling that Taylor was not quite ready to call it a night either and judging from what Taylor had told her
about her home situation, she couldn't blame her.
_____"So, are you going to give me a hint as to where we're headed?" Taylor
asked.
_____"Just trust me, ok? I'm sure you'll love it."
_____ Kim pulled onto Illinois St. and parked as close as she could to their
destination. "Come on. It's a short walk from here. Do you know where we're going now? Kim asked.
_____"We're going to the pier or somewhere else?" Taylor said.
_____"Nope. But you're close", Kim said.
Kim led Taylor past the North Pier building towards the fountain. She could hear the water as they got closer which
made her subconsciously quicken her gait. Kim loved Centennial Fountain. Not a lot of people knew it was here which
added to its appeal. The fountain was shaped like a spool of thread. Water cascaded over the top and down the sides to
form a circular wall of water. There was a cutout that allowed entry and the water blocked the view from the outside. It
was like standing in a room of liquid.
_____"This is really beautiful, Kim. I never knew this was here", Taylor said,
marveling at the architecture.
_____ Kim led Taylor inside, pleased at the reaction. "I told you you'd like it.
I come here a lot, to think mostly. You're the first person I've ever brought here," she offered, closing the gap between
them.
_____ Taylor felt her heart beating, could hear its rhythm in her head.
It had been so long since she'd felt this anticipation with anyone other than her lover and as of late, not even with her.
Thus, she had no trouble pushing guilt to the back of her mind. Whatever happens, happens she thought.
Kim slipped her arm around Taylor's waist, drawing her close. She guided their lips together, tentatively brushing,
barely touching. When she met no resistance, she kissed Taylor with more fervor, bringing a hand up to caress the nape
of her neck as she explored Taylor's mouth with her tongue. Kim thought the faint taste of alcohol on a woman's breath
was somewhat erotic. Taylor responded instantly, sucking Kim's tongue hungrily. She leaned against the fountain's
center wall, folding Kim in her arms. She parted her legs, allowing Kim to press even closer into her. Taylor ran her
hands under Kim's blazer, trailing her fingertips from Kim's shoulders down her spine. Kim shivered at the sensation,
moaning into Taylor's mouth. Kim placed her hands on the wall on either side of Taylor's head. She licked Taylor's lips
with the tip of her tongue. She planted light kisses along the line of Taylor's jaw and neck, evoking a moan from Taylor.
Kim slid her hand inside Taylor's partially opened blouse to trace delicate lines between her breasts. Taylor could feel
goose flesh rising on her skin. Her libido awakened by a virtual stranger, not to mention the setting, all seemed taboo
somehow to her. She could hear the voices of people passing nearby. She'd never been much of an exhibitionist but the
thrill of being seen added to her arousal.
_____ Kim was undeterred by the passersby. Her only concern was taking in
as much of Taylor as she could, now. She felt that if this moment passed, she'd miss out, that she'd never get this chance
again. Kim unbuttoned Taylor's blouse, exposing her breasts to the night air. She caressed her with barely touching
fingertips, her nipples hardening almost immediately. Bowing her head, she took one Taylor's nubs between her teeth,
flicking her tongue over it until Taylor moaned. She switched from one to the other, repeating the gentle biting and
licking. Kim rose to engage Taylor in another long kiss, fully pressing her body against hers. She undid Taylor's trousers
slowly, inserting her hand inside to cup her mons. She opened her own slacks. Taylor slid a hand inside, tracing Kim's
shorn slit with her fingertip. Kim began rocking the heel of her hand against Taylor's clit. Taylor groaned loudly,
forgetting where she was. She ground her hips against Kim's hand hard. She duplicated Kim's actions, massaging Kim's
mound with slow, circular motions.
_____ Kim removed her hand from Taylor's pants. She broke their kiss and
kneeled in front of Taylor. She dragged her slacks slowly down her ass, exposing her skin to the night air. Taylor could
not believe Kim was going to do this right here. Kissing was one thing but getting caught with her pants down was
another. She could feel Kim's hot breath on her pussy, her fingertips deftly opening her outer lips and exposing her clit.
Before she could object, she was silenced. Kim was licking the creases around her neglected pearl: slow, ever tightening
circles until she reached her target, which she sucked gently between her wet lips. Kim repeated her ministrations,
relishing with all her senses Taylor's reactions.
_____ Taylor was aware of people nearby but couldn't bring herself to stop
Kim's onslaught. She pressed her body against the cold marble of the fountain. The contrast in temperature against her
hot skin caused her to shudder. She could feel Kim's tongue probing the entrance to her canal, dipping slowly inside.
Her hips betrayed her, grinding into Kim's face. She grabbed a handful of Kim's hair, trying to get more of that talented
tongue inside her. She could feel the trickle of her juices as they seeped down her thighs. If she keeps this up, I am going
to lose my mind, Taylor thought.
_____ Kim broke the seal she'd formed around Taylor's clit long enough to
moisten a couple of fingers. She looked up to see Taylor's face a mask of pleasure: her eyes closed tightly, brow
furrowed, her beautiful mouth slightly agape. She returned her attention to Taylor's pussy, lapping slowly while gliding
a finger through her saturated slit. Taylor responded by spreading her legs apart, welcoming Kim's advancing fingertips
inside. Kim gently inserted one finger, then the other, delighting in the moans emanating from above. She guided her
fingers in and out of Taylor's sloshing portal. Taylor's juices were starting to trickle down her working hand, which she
quickly lapped up. She returned to her vigorous sucking of Taylor's clit while keeping up a maddening tempo with her
churning fingers.
_____ Taylor had long since abandoned any hope of stopping Kim from
ravishing of her in public. And why would she want to stop her? She hadn't felt this good in such a long time. Until now,
she was able to mask her moans and gasps and the rush of the fountain helped to cover the sounds. The harder Kim
sucked, the harder she pummeled her cunt, the louder she moaned. She was sure that anyone passing by could hear them
but she didn't care. She was so close She crushed her pussy against Kim's mouth and hand. Her hips churned with
abandon, no longer under her control.
_____ Kim increased her tempo, sensing Taylor's impending climax. If she
gets any louder, we're gonna get caught, Kim thought. She continued to fuck Taylor hard and fast, until she could feel
the familiar spasms deep inside her. She stood up, wanting to see Taylor's face as she came. She loved the expressions a
woman made in the throes of passion. She strummed Taylor's clit with her thumb. That's all Taylor needed: She cried
out, moaning Kim's name. Her knees trembled and she was thankful for the support of the fountain wall. Kim covered
Taylor's mouth with her own, hoping to cover Taylor's passionate cries. She kissed her deep and slow, still tasting wine
on Taylor's tongue. Taylor's body convulsed, she was barely able to stand her orgasm was so strong. As one would
subside, another wave would overtake her.
_____ Kim slowly removed her hand; Taylor gasped at the sudden emptiness.
Kim enveloped Taylor in her arms, supporting her weight, as Taylor's legs weren't sure. Kim feathered her neck with
kisses, tasting the salt of fresh sweat on her skin.
_____ Taylor was spent. Her body felt like one big exposed nerve, throbbing.
She finally became aware of her surroundings and suddenly she was self-conscious. She adjusted her clothes with
trembling hands. She could not believe what just happened, and in public no less.
_____"You ok Taylor?" Kim asked, aware of the sudden change in demeanor.
She hoped she hadn't gone too far but she couldn't help herself. The attraction she felt, the flirtation throughout dinner
and the ride here she knew she wanted this woman the moment she saw her.
_____"I'm fine just, uh I wasn't expecting all that", she responded. "I don't
do shit like this, ya know?"
_____"I don't either. There was just something about you. Listen, I know your
situation at home but, I would really like to see you again if I could. No pressure, no drama." She helped Taylor steady
herself, wrapping her arm around her waist. She kissed her lightly against her temple.
_____ Taylor didn't know what to say. She really didn't think this meeting
would lead to her having sex with this woman, a stranger. She couldn't deny the attraction and it was strong. Everything
she missed at home. Funny, her lover never really crossed her mind while all of this was going on That in itself was
pretty telling she thought. It also made her answer easier.
_____"So, when would you want to see me again?" Taylor asked.
_____"You name the time and the place and I'll be there", Kim shot back.
_____ Taylor said, "How about for breakfast?"
_____"What time should I pick you up?" Kim said before she got what Taylor
really meant. She nuzzled Taylor's neck while speaking: "You wanna come home with me? I'll call in and we could
make love all day. I'll bathe you and rub you with oils. I'll even make you breakfast but, I should warn you I can't cook.
So, what do ya think? Say yes, Taylor. Come home with me."
_____ Without hesitation, Taylor took Kim's hand and they walked back to the
car. Come on, come on yes or no, Kim thought, anxious for her answer. She opened the door for Taylor, being the
gentlewoman that she was, and waited for her to get in. Taylor hugged Kim to her and kissed her a slow passionate
kiss absent of all the urgency they shared under the fountain. They finally broke for air when Taylor whispered in her
ear, "I hope you don't live far. I'm starving. And for more than breakfast."
_____ Having gotten the answer she hoped for, Kim ran around to the driver's
side, got the car in gear and sped off for home. She had just the thing for a starving woman, she thought to herself. And
she couldn't wait to give it her.
