like drugs, or guns, or I don’t know, stolen items, or you’re some secret assassin going or coming from an assignment.” She nibbled on Diana’s lip. “Maybe money laundering or some such thing. I don’t know.” She ran her fingers through Diana’s thick hair, sliding under Diana’s head and holding her still so she could kiss her.
Oh, God
,
if I ever do anything and the police interrogate like this, I am so sunk!
Diana opened her mouth to take Jessie in, feeling the kiss down to her toes, and she curled them until they cramped.
“No,” she said breathlessly when Jessie released her.
“Not into drugs or bootleg liquor or anything like that?” Jessie still asked seductively.
Diana drew back. “Are you crazy? Drugs’ll kill you, later if not sooner. I’ve never even tried pot!” She looked up at Jessie, who pulled back from her in obvious disbelief. “Have you?”
Jessie came up on her elbows, evidently surprised at the question. “Yeah,” she said reluctantly. “Once or twice in college. It didn’t do anything for me.” She blinked. “Well, actually it did. It put me to sleep.”
Diana laughed, relieved. She shook her head. “No, I’ve never done anything. I have this control thing; I know it’s foolish. The idea of putting something in me that would make me out of control.” She shuddered. “Can’t imagine why anyone would even want to do that deliberately.” She shook her head but turned back to look up directly into Jessie’s face. “As for any of the other things you mentioned, no.” She made her look as direct and as open as she could. “And I’m not even going to ask where those questions came from.” She wasn’t laughing now, she wasn’t angry; she knew she had done nothing to arouse suspicions except not explain anything.
Jessie searched Diana’s face, then bowed her head to kiss between Diana’s breasts. “I’m sorry. Sometimes I have a suspicious mind. I thought it better to ask rather than let it nag on me. I didn’t want something like that unspoken to lie between us.”
Diana deliberately relaxed. How could she be offended? She reached up to caress Jessie’s face. “I don’t want that either,” she said. “I’ve done nothing illegal; I’m not doing anything illegal. I just don’t want to talk about the life I have away from you. It’s very different, and coming here to see you is a marvelous release, an escape, a restorative, and I don’t want to bring any baggage with me. I promise you, it’s not anything that will touch you. I just think being with you is one of the best things that has happened to me and I need to keep you this way.”
She realized even as she spoke the words that seemingly came from nowhere that they were the truth. She didn’t realize her eyes had filled with tears until Jessie wiped them, bent down and kissed her neck. “I’m so sorry,” Jessie whispered. “Suspicious minds. Forget I said anything.”
Diana lifted Jessie’s face to her. “Make me forget,” she commanded. She slid her arms around Jessie and pulled her down. “Pull me into your world, hold me there. I want to be with you.” She shuddered when Jessie shifted her weight downward and Diana opened up to welcome her.
This was what she wanted. Jessie’s tongue drove away all thoughts of past and future, just the present and as Jessie’s hands slid under her ass and lifted her, she lost all coherent thought. She was conscious of Jessie’s hair tickling her, her hands strong enough to hold her and the heat flowing between them. She raised up, propping herself on her elbows, looking down at Jessie’s dark head buried between her thighs, wanting this moment to last forever. She shuddered as she dropped her head back, giving herself over to Jessie, Jessie of the dark eyes, Jessie of the strong hands, Jessie of the quick tongue. Her entire world consisted of this moment, this woman, this loving.
The visits continued throughout the winter, Diana coming
