Linda Kay Silva - Delta Stevens 3 - Weathering the Storm by Linda Kay Silva Page B

felt when she walked in cooled to a simmer, as she nestled against the warm, smooth skin of the woman she loved. “I’m feeling kind of puny.”
    Megan held her tightly and continued stroking her hair. “Puny? I’ve never known you to feel puny, my love. Is there anything I can do?”
    Delta breathed in Megan’s soft scent. She smelled better than any woman had a right to. “Do whatever you think will make me feel better.” Feeling the rhythmic rising and falling of Megan’s chest, Delta closed her eyes and felt the stress slowly seeping out of her body.
    “Let me love you,” Megan whispered into Delta’s hair.
    “It’s been a long time since we made love.” The rose essence wafted around Delta’s nose, teasing her senses and warming her. It had been too long since either of them had had the time or energy for lovemaking. Megan was spending more and more time at the university, hanging around people from her Shakespeare class and going for mochas afterwards. Megan’s entire world had opened up since she stopped hooking and she was delighting in every second of it. Not only had she hung up her bed, but she’d found a job working at the university bookstore, where she earned about twenty percent of what she had made as a prostitute.
    But along with those changes, came changes in their relationship; suddenly, Megan had other people in her life. Suddenly, she, too, was busy. And while Delta was extremely proud of the adjustments Megan had made, she was deathly afraid of losing her. Delta, wasn’t the easiest person in the world to be with; she put in too many hours, worked when she didn’t need to, kept the job with her even when she was off duty, and took far too many risks than necessary.
    And still, Megan was here.
    Slowly helping Delta off with her shirt, Megan kissed and nibbled Delta’s tight shoulders. “You’re really tense,” Megan whispered, expertly undoing the buttons on Delta’s jeans.
    “I told you. Bad day.”
    “How about we balance the universe with a good night?” Pulling Delta’s jeans off, Megan ran one finger against Delta’s underwear before slowly removing them as well.
    Laying her head back, Delta closed her eyes. “Mm. I love the sound of that.”
    “How about the sound of this?” Carefully guiding Delta to the floor, Megan took one of Delta’s nipples in her mouth and gently sucked on it—just enough to make the slightest noise.
    Delta gulped down her excitement. “Sounds good.”
    “Just good?” Megan took more of Delta’s breast in her mouth and sucked noisily. Then, she slowly slid her hand over Delta’s taut stomach until her hand reached the curled patch of brown hair.
    Delta shuddered. It had been so long.
    Megan’s fingers ran through Delta’s hair, barely touching Delta’s growing hard spot. Moving her mouth off the nipple, Megan kissed Delta’s chest and shoulder before tenderly biting the soft curvature where her neck and shoulder meet.
    “God...Megan.”
    “Oh, I see this is a little better than good?” Returning to bite Delta’s neck, Megan slowly slid one finger into her. Delta’s hips immediately raised, allowing Megan’s finger full entry. “You’re very wet,” Megan murmured, moving her lips to Delta’s ear.
    But Delta was long past responding verbally. Instead, she let her body do her bidding. Wrapping her arms tightly around Megan, Delta pulled her completely on top of her.
    Megan slid easily onto Delta, still keeping her finger inside. For a long moment, she stared down into Delta’s face before planting tiny kisses on Delta’s cheeks, eyes, and lips. “I love you, ” Megan said, lightly chewing on Delta’s bottom lip. As Delta’s hips moved into her, Megan slowly slid her tongue into Delta’s parted lips and caressed her eager mouth.
    Taking Megan’s tongue, Delta pressed her hands harder into Megan’s back. She wanted this to end and she didn’t want this to end. But the explosion building inside her was nearly
