Notes from Underground – Shot through the heart

Short Story 3: Part 6 – It’s raining brunettes, hallelujah

London, Friday (cont.)

It was Friday afternoon when the senator finally finished the last of her presentations and everyone was relaxing in Barbara’s largest luxury suite with the Secret Service agents posted outside the door. The senator was flying home the same evening to spend some time with her family before getting ready for the hearing of the Senate’s Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions. She gave the team a week off to meet the day before the hearing to go over the notes and the schedule.

Tina was flying home to Los Angeles on Saturday afternoon and she could hardly wait. She hasn’t visited her family in a long time and she was looking forward to a week of laziness and relaxation. Alice and Dylan decided to stay in London until Sunday to do some sightseeing and shopping at Harrods since they all hardly had time to do anything but work during this trip.

Barbara left to catch her flight with the Secret Service agents but Agent Schecter was staying behind so she could watch over the remaining members of the senator’s staff. After Grisham’s departure Tina went back to her suite and took a nap while Alice, Dylan and Jenny went for an early dinner. They were all planning to go to a lesbian bar in Soho later in the evening and Tina needed her rest.

‘Grumpy’ had left the building and we’re following. JS is staying to look after the rest. ‘Happy’, ‘Bashful’ and ‘Sleepy’ are going to the Candy bar on Carlisle Street in Soho. Tonight is the last night to make your move. Good luck!!!

Bette spent most of the day pacing around her hotel room and thinking what to wear and what to do when she would get to the club. She had never been so nervous about meeting another woman in her entire adult life and this thought in itself was very unsettling to her.

“I hope I won’t blow the case by falling for her,” she said with frustration, settling for a moment on the edge of the bed. Her anxiety only allowed her to sit there for a few seconds before she pushed off the bed and began pacing the length of the room again. “Oh, who am I kidding…I’m already enthralled by her and she hasn’t even seen me yet. What if she takes one look at me and won’t feel anything?”

Bette stopped pacing and took a deep breath. “I need to calm down or I won’t be able to do my job.”

She went for a walk and then took a long bath, relaxing her nerves with a bottle of her favorite Syrah. After going through her clothes and not finding anything to her satisfaction, Bette went out for a little shopping and after a few hours she finally got an outfit she hoped would help her accomplish her mission tonight.

When she was finally ready to leave, Bette looked into the mirror at her reflection and nodded with satisfaction. She was dressed to kill but not deadly enough to draw everybody’s attention. All she wanted was Tina’s attention and with some luck she would make their first contact tonight.

“Showtime,” Bette smiled at herself and left her hotel room, heading for the Candy bar.

Helena was trying on some new outfits she bought this afternoon for her evening adventure. The bed was piled up with the different articles of clothing while she was checking herself in the mirror.

“No…it’s too willfully defined…nope…it’s too public school girl…noooo, too many buttons…” the pile on the bed was growing but Helena still couldn’t find what she wanted. “Too ‘Sound of Music’…I’ve lost weight…too inviting…oh, yes…this is the one. It says, ‘I’m here to have fun but I’m not a complete slut and I will treat you like a lady’…fantastic.”

Helena was confident that nobody, including Tina, was immune to her charms. “I’m gorgeous, I know that I’m gorgeous and I’m confident because I know it. Women can feel the vibes of confidence that I exude from ten feet away. I had never been rejected before in my life and nobody…” she pointed at her reflection in the mirror after getting ready to go out, “…I repeat, nobody can say No to this hotness.”

She gave herself a charming smile said with poise, “It’s showtime,” before leaving her flat.

~~~~~~~~

Tina, Alice and Dylan were hanging around the Candy bar for almost an hour but Tina couldn’t get in the mood for anything tonight.  After a few drinks, Dylan disappeared in the bathroom with a set of twins. Alice had a few shots of tequila and then quickly found her way to the dance floor with another drink in her hand, while Tina stayed seated at the bar, savoring Tequila Sunrise and doodling meaningless patterns on the napkin.

“If I can guess what you’re thinking about right now, will you let me buy you another drink?” soft voice behind her was comforting and soothing but Tina was not in a mood for another pick-up tonight. She turned around briskly, about to rebuke the unwelcome intruder when her throat suddenly got so tight and dry that she couldn’t say one word. The view in front of her was breathtaking.

A tall, slender woman with a long dark hair and a most amazing smile was standing just a few inches away, her intelligent eyes revealing amusement and interest. She was stunningly beautiful and Tina wasn’t going to send her away as she did with a few other women who tried to buy her a drink or asked her to dance tonight.

“How about I will buy you a drink,” Tina finally found her voice. “What will you have?”

“I’d like a Wet Pussy.”

“I’ve never heard of it…what’s in it?” Tina asked with interest, amused by the name of the drink.

The stranger at the bar smiled and looked straight into Tina’s eyes, “Wet pussy is the best fucking experience I’ve ever had.”

“Are we still talking about the drink?”

“Well, it depends…do you want to get out of here so we can continue this conversation in private?”

Tina looked at her watch and shrugged. She had a few hours to kill before going back to the hotel and getting ready for her flight back to the States. Sitting alone at the bar in a bad mood wasn’t her idea of fun and she found the idea of spending her evening with a drop-dead-gorgeous brunette much better.

She gave the brunette an appraising look and nodded, “My hotel is just a few blocks from here and I have a very nice suite all to myself.”

“Perfect,” the brunette smiled, almost melting Tina’s heart when she saw that mesmerizing smile again. Tina paid for their drinks and went to find Alice who was making out with a tall good-looking butch right in the middle of the dance floor. Tina didn’t see Dylan anywhere and just explained the situation to Alice. Her friend waved at her without paying any attention and Tina followed the brunette outside the bar.

‘I don’t need this,’ the blonde thought belatedly as they began walking along the dimly lit street. ‘I can’t feel anything for any of them…and I won’t. They always remain just faceless, nameless strangers to me and this is how this is going to stay.’

The brunette suddenly took her hand and Tina lost her train of thought at the softness and warmth of it. The light brush of their shoulders against each other sent another wave of heat down Tina’s spine and all her philosophical thoughts and wise decisions were instantly forgotten. She wanted this woman and she needed her to feel something other than apathy and emptiness. 

Still, Tina was troubled by this situation. It was the first time in many years that her heart wasn’t indifferent to one of her conquests. She was feeling more tonight that she ever allowed herself to feel…not since Marina’s betrayal of her love and trust…and this forgotten feeling was deeply unsettling.

Either way, though, now she was in a mood for a night of a hot, wild sex in the company of a gorgeous stranger. Tina was determined to enjoy her last night in London and this captivating brunette would do just fine.

~~~~~~~~

The whole time while Tina was at the bar, another tall and attractive brunette was sitting alone at the far corner of the dark room, watching Tina’s interaction with the other woman. When she saw them leaving, she quickly paid for her drink and murmured to herself, “You don’t waste any time, Tina Kennard, don’t you? Damn…all my efforts were for nothing.”

She followed the couple discreetly to Tina’s hotel and then turned around, heading in the opposite direction. “I’ll catch you later, Tina, when you’re least expecting and you will forget all about the one you have with you right now,” she whispered into the night, feeling the tiny drops of rain falling on her face.

~~~~~~~~

As soon as Tina unlocked the door to her hotel room, she pinned the brunette to the wall, her mouth hungrily searching for any flesh she could access while her hands were hastily removing her companion’s clothes. The brunette laughed softly at Tina’s impatience, “I love when my women are hungry for me.”

Tina stopped undressing her for a moment and looked into the stranger’s eyes. The pure lust she saw there made her blush and her pulse quickened, intensifying the throbbing between her legs. “I don’t know what makes me more aroused,” she said in between kisses, “that you called me your woman or that there were many before me.”

“Not that many but whatever makes you satisfied…”

“Take me to bed then,” Tina smiled, taking the brunette’s hand and pulling her into the bedroom. “I can think of one or two things you can do to me.”

The brunette didn’t move but silently pulled Tina back towards her and pulled off her shirt and her mouth went straight to Tina’s swollen and aroused breasts.

“No bedroom…okay…” Tina trembled all over from the sensations that enveloped her body and groaned with delight. The brunette’s hand loosened the button on Tina’s jeans and sneaked beneath the material, teasing the soft hair as she continued feasting on the blonde’s nipples.

Tina arched her back, offering up as much of her upper body for the stranger as she could while her own hand made its way past the remains of the other woman’s outfit to rest on the taut abdomen. She wiggled her fingers and she felt the brunette shuddering and grasping Tina’s hand, pushing it between her thighs into the welcoming wetness.

They were both breathing heavyly and it was hard for Tina to pay attention to anything else but her own feeling of eminent arousal and the hot moisture on her fingers. The brunette pushed Tina’s hand further inside and whispered breathlessly, “There…now…”

Tina pulled them both to lie on the floor and having at least some sort of a support for her weak and aroused body, she entered the stranger and began thrusting as she placed her other hand behind the brunette’s neck and pulled her head closer for a passionate kiss.

The woman in her arms went stiffed for a moment when Tina began using her fingers but immediately her hips surged and she ground herself into the blonde’s urgent and powerful thrusts.

‘How could we get into this state so quick?’ Tina thought when her mind began working again. ‘It’s not like I haven’t had sex in years…there’s something so powerful and so sexy about her that makes me forget about everything.'

Her thoughts were interrupted by the brunette’s orgasm that was sudden and fierce and Tina wrapped her body around the other woman’s convulsing body, taking care of her own need.
