Chapter 13
Joan’s eyes fluttered open along with a sharp intake of breath. She smiled once she realized Vera was cuddled up close with one arm wrapped around Joan’s waist and one under her head. Almost as if they were merging together as one, their legs were tangled. They held this position for most of the night, hardly even moving from each other's embrace.
When Joan pulled Vera closer to her she heard a low hum as the smaller woman snuggled closer to her. Vera untangled her leg and threw it over Joans hip, pulling Joan in even more. While Vera was readjusting Joan stroked her hair and down to her collar bones with a feather like touch. She grazed over the swell of Veras breasts and then made it to her arm. Slowly feeling her way down Vera’s arm. She makes it to her ass and reaches around to squeeze Vera’s ass and pull her closer. She feels her way back to Vera’s thigh and pulls it up more giving her more access to where she was planning to go next. She slid her hand down to Vera’s calf and then all the way back up to her inner thigh. She could see Vera’s chest heaving. Joan slowly moved her hand up to Vera’s center and cupped her feeling her heat. She ever so gently slid a finger between Vera’s folds and she could feel how wet Vera was even in a deep slumber.
“Hmm” Vera managed to get out sleepily
Joan continued to stroke Vera’s folds not yet touching her clit. After a few seconds she heard a small groan escape from the smaller woman’s lips so Joan took the invitation and circled Vera’s clit causing Vera’s hips to jerk involuntarily. As Joan circled Vera’s clit faster she could feel the younger woman rock against her hand. Once Joan felt Vera was wet enough she decided to add a bit more pleasure and moved her fingers lower to Vera’s entrance. She gently pushed one in first letting Vera adjust then she pushed two in causing Vera to moan. Joan thrust in and out of Vera as the smaller woman moved her hips rhythmically. Joan knew Vera was close so she reached with her thumb to Vera’s clit and rubbed as she thrusted deep inside her aching wet center. The arm that was around Joan’s waist tightened as nails dug into her back. Vera couldn't hold on much longer.
“Come for me Myshka.” Joan whispered as she placed a kiss on the smaller woman's head.
“Joan” Vera gasped out as she shook and came in Joan’s embrace.
Joan let Vera slowly ride her fingers as she came down from a euphoric high. Vera let out a breath as Joan removed her fingers.
“Good morning.” Vera said sheepishly as she looked up at Joan.
“Good morning love.” Joan leaned down and placed a kiss on Vera’s lips
“Come, I'll draw us a bath.” Joan reluctantly drew herself from Vera's embrace.
Once Joan was out of bed and in the bathroom she pulled out the bubble bath that she saw Vera had gotten the day before and turned on the water to the tub. Once the water was the right temperature she poured in the bubble bath. While Joan was getting the towels to put in the towel warmer she felt a pair of small but strong arms wrap around her waist from behind. Joan turned around and wrapped her arms around her lover and squeezed before pulling away and stepping in the bath with a hand held out for Vera to grab and do the same. As Joan sat down Vera settled herself between Joan’s legs. The older woman reached for a wash cloth and some body wash and started to rub circles on Veras back.
“So you go back to work tomorrow, are you ready?” Joan asked. After a short silence Vera answered.
“Yes I am.”
“Are you sure because you can stay here for a while longer if you'd like. I can always make linda take yo-”
“Joan, I'm ready, I promise.” Vera placed a reassuring hand on Joan’s upper thigh
“Ok.” Joan said with a sad smile as she moved her hand down to Vera’s to interlace their fingers. She brought their hands up to her mouth and placed a kiss on Vera’s wrist.
They sat in the tub for a while just relaxing before Vera decided to get out.
“If I stay in here any longer I’m going to turn into a prune!” Vera exclaimed
Joan chuckled and stepped out with Vera. They dried off together and made their way back to the room to get dressed for the day. Vera went for a white fitted short sleeve shirt with blue jeans that made her back side look amazing. Joan went for an emerald green loose fitted shirt and black jeans. Since they have been staying together it wasn’t really awkward to change in front of each other it just came naturally to them. After they were dressed they made their way downstairs. Joan went straight to the kitchen and made a pot of coffee. While the coffee was brewing Joan grabbed the bread and popped a few pieces in the toaster knowing Vera never liked a big breakfast. Once the toast was done she put the pieces on a plate and grabbed 2 mugs of coffee. She walked over to the table where Vera was now sitting and placed the toast and a mug of coffee in front of her.
“Thank you” Vera said with a smile
“Your welcome darning. What should we do today? It’s lovely outside.”
“Well I was thinking about doing something different for a change if you were interested?” Vera spoke hesitantly
“Like what?” Joan’s brow furrowed in slight confusion as to what her lover was trying to ask.
“Well there is this bar out of town and I've been wanting to go but I don't want to go alone. The only thing is it's not a regular bar.” Vera trailed off adverting her gaze.
Not a regular bar? Joan thought.
“So a lesbian bar?” Joan asked with her head cocked and an eyebrow raised.
“No- Well yes.” Vera looked slightly embarrassed. “Only if you want.” She was quick to add
“I'd love to Vera.” Joan said with a smile as she finished her cup of coffee.Noticing Vera had also finished her coffee and toast Joan took the dishes to the sink and washed them before putting them away. Vera was surprised that Joan agreed so quickly but she was also extremely happy.
“WAIT!” Vera said out of nowhere. Joan jumped.
“What?” Joan said wide eyed and confused.
“One sec I’ll be right back.” Before Joan could answer Vera ran through the living room and back upstairs. It was a few minutes until she returned. Joan smiled when she realized what was in Vera's hands. The box with the red bow from the night before.
“You almost forgot to open your gift.” Vera said out of breath from running up and down stairs. Vera handed the box to Joan with a sheepish grin.
As Joan took the box from Vera all she could think about was what could be in the box. What would Vera get her that would be put in such a nice box. Would she like what Vera bought her? As she carefully took the ribbon off the box and set it aside she took off the lid. She peeled back a layer of tissue paper to reveal a beautiful black silk nightie. Most of Joan's night attire consisted of different silk nighties and to her surprise Vera picked the right size. Joan placed the box on the counter as she took the nightie out of the box and held it up to her torso. It came right above her knees and had thin spaghetti straps. Joan smiled at Vera and gave her a big hug.
“Thank you Vera I love it.” Joan was sincere with her words. She hardly ever got presents but when she did the idea of being loved enough to be thought of was overwhelming.
“You're not done yet, there is still something in the box.” Vera pulled away from the hug slightly.
Joan turned around without a second thought and realized there was another layer of tissue paper with something underneath it. She peeled back the other layer and her eyes went wide. It was a sexy red lace bra and pantie set. She had very few pieces of lingerie in her wardrobe but none as sexy as this one. She turned to Vera with wide eyes.
“Oh gosh do you not like it?” Vera asked worriedly
“I love you Vera Bennett. Did you know that?” Joan asked as she pulled Vera into another big hug. If only Vera knew what Joan was planning.
“So you like what I got you?”
“Yes.” Joan answered with a smile and gave Vera a peck on the lips.
“Good but if we are going to that bar I need to change into something more presentable.” Vera said as she kissed Joan back.
Once Joan and Vera departed they made their way upstairs. Joan took her new lingerie and put it away while Vera went to find something to wear. Vera rummaged through the clothes in her side of the closet until she settled on a floral dress. Vera kept her hair down and wore no makeup. Joan decided to go for a dress shirt and kept on her black jeans. Once they both settled on their outfits they made their way downstairs. At the door Joan picked out her shoes which ended up being simple black heels making her even taller than Vera. Vera on the other hand chose flats giving her no hight advantage. Joan grabbed her keys and looked back at Vera to make sure she was ready. Once Vera gave a little nod Joan opened the front door and allowed the younger woman to exit first as she closed the door behind them. Joan walked with Vera to her side of the car and opened the door for her something that they always did when riding together. As they settled in the car Joan put the car in reverse and backed out of the drive and headed to their destination.

Once they arrived at the bar Vera decided in a booth seat so they could have a little more privacy. Vera ordered a steak which Joan also ordered. While Vera was distracted Joan also ordered shots of vodka and two sex on the beach drinks.
After a while their food arrived and shortly after their shots and mixed drinks arrived. Vera looked in confusion as they received the drinks.
“When did you order these?” She chuckled a bit
“While you were busy looking in your purse for your card. Which I will be paying tonight by the way and don't even try and talk me out of it.”
Vera sighed and rolled her eyes knowing that there was no negotiating when Joan was set on paying the bill.
“Fine.” Vera mumbled under her breath
As they ate they took shots and downed their mixed drinks. By the time they finished their food they had finished 3 shots each a mixed drink and now they were nursing on a glass of wine. As they chatted a bit and sipped their wine a song that Vera just couldn't resist.
“Joan dance with me?” Vera asked with her bottom lip stuck out.
“Maybe later.” If Joan was being truthful she liked to dance but she really wanted to see Vera’s moves.
As Vera got on the dance floor she started swaying her hips to the beat of the music. Joan couldn't help but smile while Vera danced her heart out.
There will be miniskirts
Huh, and camisoles
Tight leather pants
Or nothing at all
You'll be dancing
Joan’s eyes widened as Vera lifted up her dress just a little for a quick peek in Joans directions and gave a wink when the lyrics said “Or nothing at all.” Joan just shook her head and looked around to make sure nobody got a glance of what was hers. Vera continued to dance until the song ended.
Before Vera got back to her seat another song started playing. Vera’s eyes lit up and she walked over to Joan.
“Come on you have to dance with me to this one. Please.” Vera begged.
Joan contemplated her answer until she finally gave in and allowed Vera to take her to the dance floor as the song played. Joan took Vera in her arms and they swayed back and forth. Joan rested her chin on Vera’s head and closed her eyes. As they swayed back and forth Joan started to sing along with the song.
But when you touch me like this
And you hold me like that
I just have to admit
That it's all coming back to me
When I touch you like this
And I hold you like that
It's so hard to believe
But it's all coming back to me
Vera smiled as Joan continued to sing and dance with her. As the song slowly came to an end Joan leaned down and kissed Vera's ear before whispering.
“You're the only one I see here.” Joan squeezed Vera as she smiled and placed a sound kiss on her lips.
