Chapter 13
Stroking a stray curl from Anne's forehead Faith kissed
the tip of her nose. "It is time to get up little one,
it's nearly eight o'clock." she whispered.
Anne's eyes flickered open and instantly wide awake she
stretched provocatively. Smiling, she turned and
putting her arm round Faith, pulled herself close. She
groaned expressively as pushing her leg between Faiths
thighs she pressed her face into the comforting
softness of her breasts.
"Anne nooo...!" Faith breathed as she felt Anne's mouth
close on a nipple. "Darling please, we must get up."
For a moment she let her suckle and pull with her lips
but though her insides churned with renewed passion and
longing she forced herself to be strong and pulled away
from her. "Darling come on please, we must get up."
"Do we really have to?" Anne sighed, her bottom lip
pouting provocatively and she teased "You really are a
spoil sport sometimes you know!"
"I know, but we've a busy day ahead." Faith sat up and
waved an arm expansively round the room "and before I
do anything I must try and sort this devastation into a
semblance of order!" As she prised herself from Anne's
arms and moved her away her hand brushed her shoulder
then grazed down to gently encircle and hold a breast.
"I do want you though!" she whispered squeezing it
gently but then quickly pulling her hand away she said.
"Now for Gods sake go, and take those gorgeous little
puppies with you, go on, go go!" She pushed her away
firmly and Anne smiled as reluctantly she obediently
eased herself off the bed and stood next to it.
"Do I get the feeling you want me leave?" she giggled.
She leant towards Faith and kissed her quickly on the
lips then stepped back and looking down at her, her
face became serious.
"Faith the things I did earlier, you didn't mind did
you? You know, I mean your weren't offended by, well by
my boldness. My love making did rather get carried
away... I wanted you so badly I..."
"Anne," Faith interrupted. "We have already been
through that. I already told you the last few hours
have been beautiful and what you did, the things we
did? All I have to ask is did you enjoy doing what you
did to me? and did you enjoy what we did together?"
"Oh Faith but of course of course I did!" Anne
exclaimed. "You know that I did. I have been
fantasising about making love with you ever since I saw
your photo; and of course I enjoyed everything we did.
It was all so perfect and so wonderful, I have no
misgivings, none at all!"
"And neither have I so there we are. For my part I can
truly say that the last eight hours or so have been the
most sensual, beautiful and the most satisfying of my
life. I didn't realise it at the time but your
affection and your... well the things you did, we did.
They were just what I needed, both mentally and
physically." And with a grin she added, "In fact now
we've cleared all the barriers of propriety I can't
wait to see what tonight might bring! Though I think
we've covered most of the things we can do to each
other!"
Anne smiled. "Oh I don't know." she chuckled. "I think
I may come up with something. Especially now that as
you say, the restrictions of propriety have been
lifted!" and without waiting for a reply, she turned
and quickly hunting round the bed gathered up her
discarded wrap and crumpled pants from the floor. She
looked back at Faith and then at the disrupted bed
clothes.
"We did get a bit carried away didn't we. I guess I'd
better mess my bed up just a bit too, just to make it
looked lived in!"
"Yes, I guess we got carried away but it was beautiful
and yes, you had better make your bed look lived in or
the maids will gossip!" Sitting on the edge of her bed
she gazed at Anne and could not resist reaching out for
her once more. Quickly she pulled her close and hugged
her. "It was a lovely night Anne," she whispered. "and
thank you. It has been a long time since I felt that,
well felt that I was really wanted by someone." She
nibbled Anne's neck affectionately causing her to
cringe with pleasure then continued. "But please
darling for Gods sake go, go now!" She glanced again at
her clock and added. "... you think we can we make
breakfast before nine if we're quick?"
"I've already had my breakfast," Anne retorted with a
chuckle. "and with you kissing my neck like that you
might like to know you have made we wet again!"
"Stop it! You know that talking like that turns me on
so go away and get dressed!" faith retorted. Anne
laughed lightly as she swayed out of her reach to avoid
the playful slap aimed at her bottom. "But I'll have
some of that tonight please." she said then added "I'll
see you in half an hour!" and she skipped across the
room to the door where suddenly, she stopped and
turned. Demurely clutching her clothes to her chest,
her bottom half totally bared to Faiths view, she
looked back at her. Her face was still radiant and
elated but her expression for a moment, serious again.
"Faith, I truly hope last night... well I hope it was
as wonderful and as special for you as it was for me."
She paused and looking her straight in the eye said.
"And Faith, just in case you have any doubts about
whether you are wanted, you are wanted, you are wanted
by me and wanted very very much!" and before Faith
could reply she had gone.
~
With five minutes to spare Faith was dressed and ready
to go. After hurried "house work" she had tidied the
bed and generally made the room acceptably neat.
Despite her earlier misgivings, after a close scrutiny
of the bed she had noted gratefully that there were no
incriminating marks to be found and satisfied that
there was nothing for the maids to speculate on.
Swiftly she showered again then quickly dressed. She
wore what she termed as 'her civvies uniform'. One of
the three perfectly tailored identical suits that
consisted of a slightly below the knee length burgundy
coloured pencil skirt and long sleeved hipster jacket.
Silk bra and high leg panties, a plain white cotton
shirt with a button down collar that was tied at the
neck with a matching burgundy coloured gold tipped
velvet "boot lace" tie, and low heeled burgundy shoes
and black stockings completed the ensemble.
Hanging the jacket over the back of a chair she stood
in front of the full length wall mirror and as she
fitted gold cuff links into the shirt sleeves she was
deep in thought. Less than two days ago I was in Russia
and I'd never heard of the Williamson Hotel, let alone
my little Anne Wilde and then "Wham!" In just a few
hours beautiful emotional turmoil then a night of the
most gorgeous blatant sexual gratification and passion
I could imagine... and now, I think I'm in love
again... Recalling the erotic details of their love
making she smiled to herself. Last night I was more
sexually aroused and sated than I ever dreamed
possible. It was certainly a highly passionate night
and yet... and yet everything seemed to come, to just
happen quite naturally. We did some things I've never
done before and I have certainly never been so dominant
in my love making... yet there again at times she too
was pretty dominating, at first she was anyway... but
it was all very beautiful...
Her day-dreaming had induced a comforting warm sensual
glow that pervaded her insides and, as though
acknowledging the pleasurable reminiscences, her sex
tingled and her nipples began to harden. "Good God
she's got me wetting now!" she murmured half aloud and
smiling she eyed herself critically in the mirror.
Running her hands over her tummy and hips she smoothed
and adjusted the fit of her skirt and blouse. It was at
that moment that Anne returned.
Entering Faiths suite Anne saw the bedroom door open
and walked on through. Faith was stood in front of the
wardrobe mirror and Anne stopped and stared at her for
a long moment in silent admiration. She looks so, so
elegant she thought... despite her height and build she
is so, so ethereal... Wistfully her eyes followed the
smooth contours of the impressive figure and although
the snugly fitting skirt reached well below her knees
and the shirt was buttoned to the neck she recalled
vividly and clearly the lithe sensuality of the superb
body beneath. The body that I had such a short time ago
so ardently possessed, caressed and loved she thought.
She licked her lips and said quietly.
"I really do think you should put on some clothes
Faith." Faith turned and Anne smiling at her added with
a chuckle. "I've just mentally removed all the ones you
are wearing, right now you're naked as far as I'm
concerned!"
Faith made her own quick top to toe surveillance. She
took in the well-groomed hair, the crisp white shirt
and neatly tied navy neckerchief held by a plain gold
ring. The navy blue skirt that almost but not quite
reached her knees, black tights and high heeled navy
shoes... or are they stockings she wondered as her eyes
slid back up. Immaculate she thought, and very very
desirable...
"I'll ignore that comment!" she said with a smile.
"You're a randy little bugger aren't you!" and walking
over to her she took her face between her hands and
affectionately kissed her on the forehead.
"So are you!" Anne said with a grin. "Judging by the
expression on your face as you gave me the once over...
I trust you approve?"
"Mmmmm, did it show that badly? We must be more
careful, and yes, I approve!" As she held her she
inhaled the faint but now familiar fragrances of Anne's
body and the delicate scent of her hair and again
realised how very attracted to her she had become.
"You are very desirable and you are as lovely with your
clothes on as you are in the nuddy Anne Wilde. I want
you again already... you're, you're... oh I don't know,
for once I'm lost for words..." her voice drifted to
silence and she hugged her then finally, pushing her
away she looking down into the deep blue eyes and again
held her face in her hands. "How ever will I be able to
concentrate on my work with you looking so
devastatingly scrumptious!" she asked quietly, kissing
the tip of her nose.
Anne took Faiths hands in hers. Briefly she kissed and
caressed the fingers, lightly brushing her lips over
them and then she looked up at her.
"Faith, you're so very beautiful and very desirable..."
and with a widening cheeky grin she said. "but you know
something? I guess I am too small for you after all.
The only bits I can reach right now are all covered
up!" She stretched up on tip toe and steadying herself
by placing her hands boldly on Faiths breasts she
whispered. "I can't reach you, please come to me.
Please kiss me properly..."
"I didn't want to smudge your lipstick." Faith murmured
as she leant down and enfolding her in her arms she
kissed her firmly on the mouth. "Perhaps it's my fault,
perhaps it's because I'm too tall" she chuckled
straightening up again and went on "though, I do seem
to recall someone saying they were just the right
height and size earlier this morning!"
"Ahhh but you didn't have any clothes on then! That was
totally different!" Anne laughed.
"I see... Well little Wabbit, it's time to go!" She
turned away and picking up her jacket from the chair
she said good-naturedly "and try not to stray to close
to me. It's not going to be easy for me to keep my
hands off you, especially that gorgeous little butt of
yours...!"
"I'll try but I won't promise. My butt rather likes the
touch of your hands, especially those beautiful long
fingers!" Anne giggled and as they moved in the
direction of the door she deliberately swayed her hips
towards Faith who quickly reached down and stroking the
subtle curves of her buttocks gave them an affectionate
squeeze.
"You're a wanton little hussy Anne Wilde!" she laughed
"and I love it!"
They walked together to the elevator and on the way
Anne looked up at her and said. "Why do you call me
Wabbit?"
"Well I... I don't know. It's meant as an
endearment..." For a moment Faith was alarmed,
concerned she may have offended but looking down she
saw that Anne was smiling openly at her.
"Here, Let's take the stairs" Anne suggested and went
on. "My father used to call me Wabbit when I was a
child. He still does actually and I love it and I love
him but then, well at school I was always smaller than
the other girls of my age and because of that and also
because they learnt of my Chinese ancestry I was teased
unmercifully. Unfortunately I had slightly buck teeth
then too which didn't help and it became my nick name
and I hated it. With Dad it was fine, it was as with
you as you say, an endearment but he was the only
person I ever liked using it." She turned to Faith and
looked back up at her. "But with you Faith, I like it
even more from you. It makes me feel wanted."
"Well thank you." Faith answered and she reached out
and briefly stroked Anne's hair, her eyes betraying her
deep affection for her. "and of course you're wanted. I
want to kiss you right now but," she murmured but
quickly pulling her hand away she said "but I mustn't
and I shouldn't be touching you in public at all.
Someone might see us and, and think naughty things!"
They both laughed and reaching the stairs descended
them together and with Anne leading the way made their
way across the crowded foyer. Acknowledging Helen who
was stood behind Reception they exchanged a friendly
wave and continued on to the restaurant. On arrival,
they were politely greeted by an immaculately turned
out middle-aged man dressed in the "Hotel Management"
attire of a black jacket and striped trousers.
"Good Morning Miss Anne, Madam." The man had bowed
cordially to Faith who glancing at the badge on his
lapel saw he was the Hotel Food and Beverage Manager
and Anne introduced them.
"Faith, this is Douglas Miles our F and B Manager."
Anne announced. "He is also the hotels Functions
Manager. Douglas - Miss Faith Hollings who you know is
our interpreter for the conference." Turning to Faith
she smiled and said. "Douglas is a mine of information
Faith and he has been very kind and very helpful to me.
Incidentally he will insist on calling you Miss Faith,
just as he calls me Miss Anne! He is one of those rare
beings who are almost at the point of extinction now, a
real proper gentleman!"
Douglas smiled and respectfully gave Faith another
little respectful bow. Shaking her hand he said. "How
do you do Miss Faith, welcome to the Williamson. Miss
Anne is very kind but she does I believe exaggerate
sometimes!" and turning to Anne he asked. "A table for
two Miss Anne or would you like to sit with the
delegates?"
"God forbid Douglas, a table for two please!" Anne
exclaimed and she added quickly "and as far from the
delegates as possible please Douglas!"
With a knowing smile Douglas nodded and escorted them
to a table that was partly hidden behind a dumb waiter
in a secluded corner of the restaurant.
"According to our guests this is the worst table in the
restaurant and I have great difficulty getting anyone
to sit at it. I suspect however that it fits the bill
for you ladies as it will give you an element of
privacy and afford you some peace and quiet before the
conference. You will also be doing me a great favour if
you let me reserve it for you." As he spoke he pulled
the chairs out for them and signalled to a waiter.
"This is perfect thank you Douglas." Anne acknowledged
as they seated themselves and nodding amicably Douglas
produced a pen and a small pad.
"And so Ladies," he said addressing them both. "what
would you like for your breakfast?"
The two glanced at each other as they picked up their
menus and levelling her eyes at Anne over hers Faith
queried with a smile. "And what do you like for your
breakfast Anne?"
Anne warmed inwardly at the awareness of Faiths hidden
inference to her earlier comment in the bedroom. "I'll
settle for poached eggs on toast with bacon today
please Douglas. Preferably crispy bacon if possible."
And looking across at her returned the smile. "and you
Faith?" she queried "how about you, what do you like
for your breakfast." As she spoke she toed one of her
shoes off and stretching her leg out beneath the table
slid her foot up the inside of Faiths calf.
"I'll have the same please Douglas." Faith replied. Her
face was expressionless and looking at Anne she raised
an eyebrow inquiringly "... coffee and toast for two?"
Still holding her gaze Anne wriggled her toes between
Faiths knees. They had quickly closed to trap her foot
and with a small smile she nodded her agreement.
"Perfect." she answered handing Douglas her menu.
"For heavens sake Anne behave!" Faith exclaimed with a
low whisper as soon as Douglas had left and she bent
down hurriedly to check the drop of the table cloth.
"It's okay, I already checked as we sat down!" Anne
said with a grin. "Anyway the dumb waiter is in the way
so no one can see."
Faith straightened up and gave her a friendly but
reproachful look. "Hmmm... well just you behave
yourself anyway!" she chuckled quietly as she again
pressed her knees tightly on Anne's toes.
"Of course," Anne replied dreamily as she nonchalantly
gazed round the room. "but wouldn't it be nice if we
were somewhere where I didn't have to behave with you.
Didn't have to check to see if it was okay I mean
before I showed you any affection. Where we could be
our selves..."
"Well, if you're really serious about that," Faith said
quietly. "I just happen to know of somewhere we could
do exactly that, and it is not too far from here
either." She had been looking out of the window and
turned to look at Anne. "It is a very nice club that I
am a member of. It is used and run exclusively by
women, lesbians in the main and it is a retreat where
people like you and I are considered to be normal
rather than perverted weirdoes!"
"Oh Faith I'd love to go, what a lovely thought. Please
can we? I've never been anywhere that I could, well
where I could be the real me in public!"
"I don't see why not." Faith smiled then she added.
"But only if you promise to be faithful to me and not
rush off with another woman!"
"Oh Faith!" Anne said in a hushed voice. She stared at
her, concern suddenly clouding her face. "You must
surely know that after last night I couldn't want
anyone else other than you!" Faith smiled a comforting
acknowledgement and relieved, Anne quickly slipped her
shoe back on and pushing her chair back she stood up.
"Come, I'm starving!"
They walked over to a self-service buffet table and
collected cereal and juice and as they moved along the
table Anne deliberately brushed herself against Faith
arm and when Faith looked down at her she gave her a
small smile. Lowering her eyes she stared meaningfully
at the swell of Faiths breasts. "That's what I really
want for my breakfast." she murmured then giggled
quietly at Faiths admonishing look.
"You are supposed to be a 'Little Miss Prim and Proper'
now we're in public Miss Wilde!" Faith said sternly.
"Now just you behave!"
"Yes Ma'am!" Anne replied and looking round to ensure
no one was near or within listening distance with a
wide eyed stare she asked in a low whisper, "Will you
smack my bottom if I don't. Even bite my bum again?"
Faith smiled. "I most certainly will." she replied
quietly and suggestively running the tip of her tongue
over her lips added. "But that would only be if you do
behave!"
"I'll behave, oh I promise I'll behave!" Anne breathed
raising her eyes to the ceiling beseechingly. Returning
to their table they sat down and for a while both ate
in silence with only an occasional but affectionate
discrete glance passing between them. Their peace
however was soon interrupted by the approach of a
waiter with coffee and almost immediately following
him, by the arrival of Helen.
"Good Morning you two," she said cheerfully. "I trust
you are both well! Faith, did you sleep well?"
"Very well indeed thanks Helen. I must have been very
weary as I don't remember a thing once I was in bed."
She felt a foot softly caress hers and avoiding Anne's
eyes she looked down from Helen and watched as Anne
poured her coffee.
"Me too!" Anne said. She looked up and smiled openly at
Faith. "Do you take milk?"
Faith glanced up and again their eyes met and held. "No
thank you Anne, just straight with sugar is fine." She
could not stop herself from smiling back at her and
quickly she turned away and looked back to Helen. "And
how is the Williamson Hotel this morning Helen?" she
asked.
"Well all seems well but I think there are probably a
couple of sore heads around. I trust you two are bright
eyed and bushy-tailed. Ready for the fray are we?"
"Bright eyed maybe but I'm not sure about the bushy-
tailed bit." Anne chuckled her eyes still on Faith.
"We're expecting the rest of the Russian delegates any
time now." Helen went on. "If you could be around
Faith, on call that is, it would be a great help." She
looked at Faith raising her eyebrows hopefully and
Faith smiled as she nodded her agreement.
"Sure Helen, of course. I must do a quick check on the
sound system in the conference hall after breakfast and
if I may I'll collect those photocopies if They're
done, apart from that I'm available!"
"Great!" Helen said brightly. "I'll leave you two to
have your breakfast in peace then but if you'd like to
check with me when you've finished Faith I'll give you
a pager. It is the small vibrator type but it is very
efficient. I'll see you later, okay?" and with a smile
she turned and walked away.
Anne, a small grin pulling at the corners of her mouth,
was about to speak but as a waiter appeared with their
breakfasts she instead looked out of the window. When
he had left Faith asked "Why the little smile?"
Anne turned back to her and grinned openly. "Sorry
about that." She said. "But I had a sudden beautifully
erotic and very appealing vision!"
"Ohh... and what may I ask was your vision of?" Faith
queried her face showing amusement. "Though I don't
think I want to know!"
"Well with all this talk of vibrating pagers and
things," Anne said with a chuckle.
"The vision was of you and me and a little vibrator
and..."
"Anne Wilde!" Faith interrupted quietly, feigning
shock. She then went on. "Sorry to disappoint you but I
don't think a pager would be very effective and
unfortunately I don't happen to have one of the other
sort to which you are inferring with me!"
"Shame, I don't have one either!" Anne replied, then
after a short pause she added. "Not here at the hotel
anyway!"
"Anne what a shocking thing to admit to!" Faith
exclaimed, again faking shock and glancing
surreptitiously round the room. "If you keep talking
like this I'm going to get so turned on I'll do
something drastic. Think I'm going to have to go up and
change my pants already as it is!"
"No prob, I'll come up and help you!" Anne retorted and
Faith laughed quietly.
"You'll do no such thing, we'd never get back to the
conference and, and I'll be had up for rape!"
Anne poured them both more coffee and then looking up
at Faith she said. "Just for the record Faith, you
could never rape me. Rape involves an unwanted physical
sexual assault and I can think of nothing nicer than
being physically and sexually assaulted by you!" She
smiled at her and went on. "I can't wait to be alone
with you again and tonight is so far away. I think
today is going to be a painfully long one."
"Ahhh... Ma chere petite biche." Faith murmured softly
as she sipped her coffee and her eyes smiled at Anne
over the rim of the cup. "I think you're right. It is
going to be a very long day, but for all that, a very
pleasant one I think!"
"What's a dear little biche?" Anne asked. "It sounds
rather rude to me!"
"On the contrary, it's quite the opposite actually."
Faiths voice lowered as she continued and was so quiet
that Anne had to lean forward to hear her. "It's a
French term of endearment. The literal translation of
the French word biche is stag, or in your case doe. So
literally in your case, ma petite biche means my little
doe. In parts of France I assure you it is considered
to be a very affectionate endearment. A very sincere
and loving..." she paused thoughtfully then said. "My
dearest love is I suppose the closest we can get in
English, though that translation doesn't do the phrase
justice."
"You'll have me in tears if you say things like that to
me Faith." Anne answered.
"Don't be a tease."
Faith looked at her "I wasn't teasing." she whispered
gently.
Anne swallowed and her voice caught in her throat as
she tried to reply. Unsure of how to interpret Faiths
comment she felt elated yet confused. Questions raced
through her mind. She obviously likes me a lot, but
after that translation she gave me... Little Doe? I
wonder if she was serious, did she really did mean it
to apply to me as she translated it... a very loving my
dearest love she said... is it possible that she feels
as strongly for me as I do for her... dare I ask her?
No! My God no I couldn't do that. If she didn't mean it
and she doesn't have the same feelings I'd really look
a fool I...
Any further thought of conversation of a personal
nature was suddenly dashed as a couple arrived and sat
down at a table close to them and the two women
continued their breakfast once more in silence until
finally, placing her knife and fork neatly next to each
other on the plate Anne leant back in her chair and
smiled at Faith. "I haven't had a breakfast like that
for ages, I just can't imagine what could have given me
such an appetite!"
"I wonder." Faith grinned glancing briefly at the
couple next to them. She gazed affectionately back at
Anne and took a final sip of her coffee. "Anyway," she
said putting the cup down, "it's time we made a move."
and pushing her chair back they both got up and left
the table. At the door they thanked Douglas and leaving
the restaurant turned into the main foyer and crossed
to Reception where Helen greeted and invited them to
her office.
"Here are your photocopies Faith," she said picking up
a folder from her desk and handing it to her. "and
before I forget Anne, Mike West asked for you. I told
him you were having breakfast with Faith and he said it
was not urgent." She turned back to Faith and asked.
"Is it still okay for you to be on call, sort of from
now on I mean?"
"Definitely!" Faith replied then asked. "You mentioned
a pager?"
"Sure, I kept this one for you." Helen said handing her
a small white pager similar to the one Anne had
produced the night before. "Some of them are a bit
bulky but this is a new model, it's much slimmer. It
has a bleep or vibration mode. You can select which you
want." Faith noticed Anne grinning mischievously at her
from behind Helen but she managed to keep her face
expressionless as Helen showed her how to use it. "Your
number is 966, if the pager goes off just check the
dial and it will tell you the code number of the person
calling and the phone extension the caller is on.
Anne's number is 977 and I am on 922... for anyone else
just call reception and they will give you the number
you want."
"Thank you Helen. I must pop upstairs for a minute but
I won't be long so please if you need me just call me."
she answered, clipping the pager to her belt and
turning to Anne she gave her shoulder an affectionate
squeeze. "Same goes for you Anne, but I'll see you in
the conference hall in a few minutes anyway." She
smiled at them both then turned and leaving the office
headed across the foyer to the stairs.
The brief touch and parting tender glance had set
Anne's heart racing again, and as she watched the now
familiar smooth sway of Faiths hips she recalled the
same sway and walk she had studied so admiringly on the
way to in the bedroom earlier that morning. Only then
Faith had been naked she thought and as she watched
Faith disappear from view, she smiled smugly to
herself.
"And How's it going with Madam Faith?" Helens voice
broke into her thoughts jolting her back from her day-
dreams. "And how the hell does she do that! She doesn't
walk does she, she just seems to glide, to float!"
You should see the nude version Anne thought with
amusement as she turned to her. "I know, you wouldn't
think that someone her height could be so graceful and
feminine would you!"
"Well thank you Anne Wilde,!" Helen exclaimed
pretending hurt. "you have really made my day!"
"Oh Helen, you know what I mean. You may be nearly the
same height as her but you're half her size and build.
She must be a good 30/35 lb. heavier than you!"
"185 lb. the photo said. I'm 150... yes, your not far
out but let's face it I'm a bean pole. I look like a
famine refugee despite the fact that I eat like a
horse! Colin can be so charming at times you know, says
he reckons I've got worms!" They both laughed and Helen
then asked. "Seriously though Anne how is she, any
problems?"
"No Helen, she's a sweetie. Definitely no airs and
graces there!" She felt flustered and was inwardly
embarrassed at the strength of her emotions for Faith
and fearful it might show, she quickly decided to
leave. "I had better go Helen." she said politely. "and
I must find out what Mike wants. I'll see you later
okay?"
Chapter 14
On reaching the conference hall it was Mike West
himself who let her in. Immediately he saw her he
grinned broadly. "Well well! So, things worked out then
after all. See, I told you you worry too much!" and
seeing her looking nervously round the hall he
chuckled. "It's okay no one can hear us, they are all
in the office!"
"Well yes, things are fine Mike," Anne smiled shyly.
"But Mike she..."
"Come on Anne, I'm not daft! You know your secret is
safe with me. I gave my word and we're friends
remember. Now, tell me all about it!"
"I'll do no such thing!" she protested indignantly but
she squeezed his hand in gratitude and went on. "But
thanks for being there for me Mike. Now tell me, what
did you want me for... and anyway, how come you know
Faith and I, well that we are okay..." her voice faded
and as she looked at him a slight glow of embarrassment
crept up to lightly warm her neck and cheeks.
"I didn't want you for anything at all. I was just
curious. Just wondered how things turned out last night
that's all. But after one look at you I don't need to
ask... she obviously she didn't put you across her knee
and smack your bottom after all." He looked at her
enquiringly then grinned. "or there again, perhaps she
did and that is why you are looking so pleased with
yourself..."
"I'll claim the fifth amendment on that." Anne
retorted. "Let's just say we are now very good
friends!"
"Well I suggest you wipe that satisfied look off your
face then. You look like the cat who polished off the
cream and then had seconds. Talk about radiant, God
knows what you two must have got up to last night!
She's obviously good for you though."
Anne chuckled quietly "Michael you do talk such
rubbish!" and again squeezing his hand affectionately
she went on "You're not far wrong though! Does it
really show that badly?"
"It shows to me but I don't think anyone else would
guess. Mind you, how you behave together in public will
decide on whether the two of you get away with it!"
"I'll make a point of looking extremely bored when I'm
with her!" Anne joked then said. "Faith said she would
meet me here so if she turns up would you tell her I'll
be back soon? There are things I must check and Mike,
Mike I know I don't have to say this but, well thanks
again. I know you think I'm daft for not coming out and
all that but it is a lot easier said than done. You
must give me time and as far as Faith is concerned, on
an official basis if I'm still in the closet she is not
only in it but she has the door very firmly bolted!
What with her job and all... but I meant what I said
Mike. Thank you."
"Forget it my love though you are quite right, I do
think you're daft. Both of you in fact. I mean who
gives a toss these days and I don't think anyone in
their right mind would take the piss out of Faith, or
you for that matter! Anyway, I'll be in the office if
you want me. I have things to do."
As she headed for her office Anne reflected on Mikes
comment regarding the cat having eaten all the cream
and smiled. Thoughts of the forthcoming night and the
next two days flicked through her mind and she sighed
happily. Well I have to admit I do feel good...
obviously you are good for me Faith Hollings, I just
hope no one else notices my "satisfaction". Thoughts of
the future, of what might happen after the conference
also entered her mind briefly but she pushed them back.
That's days away yet she told herself, I'll worry about
that when the time comes... Briefly she dwelt on the
fact that Mike now knew about their relationship but
quickly dismissed her concern. She reminded herself
that not only was he a very good friend but that also
had it not been for him, she might never have found the
courage to approach Faith in the first place. Anyway
she muttered quietly. "I didn't tell him... he
guessed!"
On reaching her office she sat down at her desk and
opening her desk drawer removed the conference folder.
Beneath it lay the photos and a twinge of sheer
pleasure swept through her as she gazed at Faiths face
fixedly staring back at her. "God how I love you." she
murmured audibly and reaching down she ran her finger
tips gently over the picture but then, with a sigh, she
firmly pushed the drawer closed. "Work!" she muttered
and opening the folder she began to read quickly
through her check list.
It was just on eleven thirty when after completing her
rounds of the various hotel departments that she
finally got back to the hall. Everything had seemed to
be going according to plan and everyone concerned
seemed happy. On entering the theatre she looked round
for Faith but apart from a couple of Security Guards
there was no one else to be seen. With a pang of
disappointment and mild concern she decided to see if
Mike had seen her and walked up to his office. Reaching
the door she was about to knock when it quickly opened
and Mike stepped out, so swiftly in fact that they
almost collided.
"Sorry Luv!" he chuckled boisterously and casually
draping an affectionate arm round her shoulders he
asked. "And what are you looking so glum about. As if I
didn't know?"
"I'm not looking glum!" Anne protested. "I was just
wondering where Faith had got to that's all." She
glanced around the hall and turning back to him added
"I expected her to be here by now, I wonder what has
happened to her..."
"Ahhh!" Mike exclaimed triumphantly and gently taking
her by the shoulders he turned her round to face the
back of the hall. "Try the broadcasting room. In her
little cubicle. You'll find her in there I think
sorting her papers out or something..." and bending
down to her ear he whispered. "She looks just as
chuffed with life as you do so just you two behave
yourselves in there!"
"Michael!" Anne exclaimed pretending shock but as she
started to walk up the aisle she looked over her
shoulder and said quietly with a smile. "But if you do
come up, I suggest you knock as I'll have the door
locked. For security of course!"
"Randy little bugger." Mike joked. "Anyway, I need to
check on her as well so sorry, I'm coming with you..."
and together they walked up the aisle.
"I know you were joking but crazy though it is, when
I'm close to her I really do feel randy" Anne confided
with a coy smile. "I get so turned on just looking at
her Mike!" She giggled quietly as Mike pretended to be
disgusted then he laughed out loud and at that moment
Faith appeared at the broadcasting room doorway.
"Okay you two, what's the joke then?" she smiled.
"Mikes dirty mind," Anne said quickly. "but we shan't
go into that just now. Is everything all right with you
Faith, you're my last port of call. I have ticked
everyone else off my list except Mike of course and I
thought we better sort him out between us!"
"Charming!" Mike laughed. "And I should be so lucky to
be sorted out by two such lovely ladies!" and looking
at Faith he asked with a grin. "Have you any control
over this one yet by the way Faith?"
"No, not a lot!" Faith smiled and looking down at Anne
she said "and in answer to your question Anne, thank
you yes. Everything is just fine."
As they talked Faith, looking down at Anne, casually
reached out and picked a stray hair off the arm of her
shirt and their eyes met and held. Anne's heart beat
quickened unmercifully and licking her lips she
swallowed. Taking a deep breath to steady herself she
asked. "Is there anything we can do to help you or are
you all done now... ?"
"I've distributed the speech notes" Faith replied. "and
was just going to ask someone to help me do a sound and
reception test although I'm sure everything is okay
but... well then I was going to scoot off to hopefully
scrounge a coffee somewhere!"
"That's no problem." Mike stated cheerfully. "We'll
help with both. What would you like us to do?"
"Well, if one of you could use the stage microphone and
one of you take a seat in the auditorium and put a head
set on we could do the sound test right now!" Faith
answered.
"Fine! I'll take the stage " Mike said cheerfully. "and
Anne you sit yourself down somewhere and put on the
head sets."
"When you get to the stage just switch the microphone
on Mike, put a set of headphones on and then say
something and I'll answer." She looked at Anne and
gently placing her hand on her arm she said. "and Anne,
you can then come back and report on how both of us
sounded to you..."
Anne's eyes lingered affectionately on Faith until she
had disappeared into the sound room. The brief touch of
Faiths hand on her arm had sent shiver through her that
again had churned her insides. She swallowed thickly
then, knowing that her face had warmed she turned and
head bowed to hide her blushes began walking back down
the aisle.
Mike who had stood patiently observing her survey of
Faiths retreating figure joined her. "My God," he
murmured quietly. "you have got it bad haven't you
Anne!"
Anne looked up at him. "Yes Mike, I'm afraid I have."
and with a deep sigh she said quietly with a nervous
little smile. "I guess I really have haven't I. I can't
believe it Mike but I'm afraid I've fallen in love with
her..."
Mike chuckled. "I know... I figured it was something
like that last night!" and putting his arm round her
shoulder he gave her an encouraging hug. "Come on,
let's do as the lady asks!" They continued walking down
the aisle together and half way down Anne left his side
and settled herself in one of the seats and put on a
set of head phones.
In the sound room, seating herself at the desk, Faith
slipped her earpiece in place and switched the system
on. Moments later she heard the soft Welsh drawl of
Mikes voice. "... A camel in his hours of ease is full
of wisdom sand and fleas, but all his wisdom I
understand, can't rid him of his fleas and sand. Boom
Boom!" He roared with laughter and, as though closing a
Disney cartoon, with a wave in her direction, he added.
"and that's all folks, that's all!"
"I'm not going to translate that into Russian!" Faith
retorted over the air. "But it was loud and clear Mike.
It came through fine for me this end thanks. Anne, how
did you hear him and how do I sound. Would you like to
pop back here to let me know!" She turned the system
off and from the doorway returned Mikes wave as he
headed for his office and she watched Anne walking
quickly up the aisle towards her.
When she arrived they entered the room and quickly Anne
closed the door, bolted it and before Faith could
speak, she had wrapped her arms round her and was
hugging her tightly.
"God I've missed you." she gasped. "I just can't get
you out of my mind. It's horrible being away from you!"
Faith stroked Anne's hair and kissed the top of her
head. "Hey! I've missed you too little one!" she said
softly.
"I'm not going to let you out of my sight again!" Anne
joked looking up at her. "I can't stand the strain!"
She squeezed herself even closer and the haunting
thought again flashed through her mind.... but what
happens when you go, what happens in two days time...
"We'll worry about that when we get there." Faith
answered as though she had somehow miraculously read
her mind and they kissed, first gently then for a
moment passionately. Pulling away Faith placed her
finger over Anne's lips. "Come on you, I've already got
one pair if wet knickers in the laundry bag. Another
minute of this and I'll have to go and change again!"
"Oh don't say things like that," Anne groaned. "I'll
definitely come up and help you this time!"
"You'll definitely do no such thing Anne Wilde!" Faith
laughed and she pointed an admonishing finger at her
"You young lady, just you behave yourself from now on
or no smacked botties for you tonight! Now come, let's
find that coffee, we've got about twenty minutes before
I start work for real!"
Arriving at the hall where the reception had been held
the night before Anne led the way through the throng of
people to the buffet table where under the watchful eye
of Douglas they were served coffee. The crowded room
was noisy with the hum of conversation and standing
slightly away from Faith Anne watched with a mixture of
admiration and awe as with an air of total confidence,
she smoothly conversed with some of the delegates in
languages some of which she could not even identify.
"She knows her stuff doesn't she." Mike West's voice
interrupted her silent homage and she turned and
grinned at him.
"Oh Mike isn't she just fantastic and you know
something? I haven't the faintest idea what she's
talking about and yet I could stand here listening and
watching her for hours!"
"Hmmm... a definite case of idolisation I am afraid.
There is no hope for you now, you're really hooked!" He
grinned and went on "... and you be careful now, that
expression on your face is definitely not one of
boredom!"
"Oh Mike don't be silly!" she teased pulling a face at
him then she looked at her watch. "I'd better rescue
her in a minute though and pack her off to the
conference hall. The delegates should be moving in for
the start in a moment."
"Oh I have a message for Faith from Helen." Mike said.
"A Mr Howard has arrived and was asking for her. At
first she got the impression that it was urgent and she
was going to bleep her but apparently he then said it
wasn't important and that he would catch up with her
later. Something about a change of plans".
A sudden cold shiver of foreboding slid through her and
she looked at him with alarm "Oh Mike. A change of
plans? She's not going to leave is she?"
"I don't know luv." he said and seeing the look of
concern on her face added quickly. "Oh it's probably
nothing, don't worry about it!"
"Oh Mike, I couldn't bear it!" Her face showed her
concern but with a passive little sigh she again
glanced at her watch and said. "Anyway, whatever. I'd
better get her out of here now or we'll all be in
trouble. It's past midday!"
"Sure, I'll see you later Anne. I'd better get
backstage myself" and bending down to her whispered
"and remember what I said earlier, keep your little
hands to yourself in there. She has work to do!" and
before she could reply he had swung round and walked
away from her.
For a moment, before moving over to Faiths side Anne
again studied her and as she gazed at her, she was
again engulfed in an overpowering surge of affection
for her. I love you Faith Hollings she murmured
silently, I love you so much it hurts... and I don't
want you to go... Faith was talking what she assumed to
be Russian to three of the delegates and she felt a
brief twinge of annoyance when, as Faith talked avidly
with one of them, she noticed the other two glancing
appreciatively and meaningfully down the length of
Faiths figure, quite obviously mentally undressing her.
Typical bloody males she thought but then she smiled to
herself. I'spose I can't really blame them. I've been
doing exactly the same thing myself all morning... and
moving to Faiths side she lightly touched the small of
her back and said formally.
"Excuse me Miss Hollings, I am sorry to interrupt you
but we must leave now..."
Faith said something to the three men and turned to
face her. Her gaze filled with warmth and affection and
as always, intensely penetrating. "We should be moving
on Faith." Anne said quietly. "The conference is about
to start."
"Give me just a sec and I'll excuse myself." Faith
smiled and turning back to the delegates she spoke
briefly to them. The men bowed politely to her and then
to Anne and turning back to Anne Faith said gently.
"Okay Wabbit, lets go!"
As they threaded their way through the crowded room to
the exit and walked along the corridor to the hall Anne
remembered Mr Howard. "Oh Faith, your Mr Howard has
arrived. He asked for you but then said not to bother
you. He said that he would see you later? Some thing
about a change of plans..." She paused and looked at
Faith apprehensively. "I hope there isn't anything
wrong Faith."
"No little one, I'm sure nothing's wrong.!" Faith
replied reassuringly and seeing Anne's worried look she
said. "He would certainly have found me if there was a
major problem. He probably just wants to run through
the programme with me!"
"But I left him a copy of the agenda at reception
Faith!" Anne blurted, her anxiety suddenly apparent in
her voice. "Faith he's not going to send you away is
he?"
"Oh don't be daft, of course he's not going to send me
away! I don't see any other linguists around here do
you?" Faith answered with a reassuring smile.
"No." Anne replied quietly, a little embarrassed at her
outburst. "I don't but I don't want to lose you so
soon." and although relieved at Faiths apparent lack of
concern she was not convinced. "It was just that you
mentioned he was your boss or something and..."
"Well he is sort of. He gives me a lot of interesting
work and you should thank him actually as it was he who
gave me this assignment. If it wasn't for him we would
never have met and anyway, you won't lose me that
easily, and that's a promise!"
They had arrived at the conference hall and entering
the open doors under the watchful eye of Mike, who now
stood with two other security men studying the arriving
delegates, Anne could not reply.
"Have a nice day you two" Mike called cheerfully as
they passed him and he gave Anne a knowing grin. She
grinned back and she and Faith, threading their way
through the now rapidly filling auditorium, walked up
the aisle together.
On entering the broadcasting room Faith removed her
jacket, adjusted the chair and settled herself at the
control desk. She watched Anne lock the door and
smiled. "This little one I am sorry to say is where
life will get rather boring for you. I'm afraid once
they start I have to translate continually until they
break. That's why Mark, Mark Howard, insisted on
sessions lasting no more than hour at a time. Then
there's supposed to be a fifteen to twenty minute break
for me to rest my voice. They only allow sessions go on
continuously if there are two or more interpreters."
"I don't mind. I'll just sit and watch over you." Anne
said. "and I have my bleep in case I'm needed." and
crossing to her side she put her arms round Faiths
shoulders. "But I'm not going to wait a whole hour for
a kiss and cuddle. You can jolly well give me one now
to keep me going!" They kissed softly, their mouths
opened and their tongues toyed and stroked as they
tasted each other.
"Oh Faith." Anne groaned pulling away breathlessly and
stepping back. "I know I must leave you alone but it is
going to be sooo so difficult." She gave her a final
lingering look, her hand brushed her cheek
affectionately then she moved away and with a cheerful
grin she said. "But I did promise... I will behave. So,
as Mike would say, you ferkoffee?"
"Well thank you Miss Wilde!" Faith chuckled and
glancing out of the window and making final adjustments
to her earpiece she said. "and you can keep it coming
little one, despite Marks insistence on the maximum of
hourly sessions they can go on longer or seem to do so
just keep topping me up. I drink it in sips between
chatting and I must warn you, once they start out there
I do have to translate word for word so don't think
that I'm ignoring you. I don't want you feeling
offended."
"Oh Faith I understand completely and know you would
never intentionally offend me." Anne replied and as she
spoke a red light lit up on the wall in front of them
and looking through the window Anne saw a man standing
at the microphone on the stage.
"That's our Mark." Faith muttered looking at her watch.
"Eyes down and look in, were are now on the air!" and
she flipped the "Live" switch on and a red light lit up
on the wall above. For a moment she was silent then in
a soft but deliberate voice she began talking in what
Anne assumed was Russian.
Quickly she made the coffee sat down opposite her and
she watched. The Russian dialogue sounds quite pleasant
she thought. I've never heard it spoken before and not
understanding a word I'm surprised. I thought it would
be a very rough sounding language, but the way she's
talking it isn't at all... maybe because it's her...
maybe it is just because it is Faith talking...
Faiths face was calmly relaxed as she talked and
sitting back Anne sipped her coffee and watched in
silent homage. She wanted to move back to her side, to
hold herself against her and touch her and as her eyes
travelled down her body she finally had to look away as
she became acutely aware of the mounting ache of her
yearning for her.
It was some time later when, as she was just about to
get up and make a third coffee Faith sat back in her
chair and removing her earpiece flicked the switch off.
"Okay Wabbit, that's it for now. Apparently luncheon is
now being served!" She looked up at the clock on the
wall. "Not bad, an hour and ten minutes. That was just
the introductory speech, I hope it hasn't bored the
pants off you." and with a meaningful sly grin she
said. "If it has we had better go up stairs quick!"
"Oh yes please!" Anne crossed over to her and hugged
her. "I wish!" she chuckled. "and since when did my
having my pants on stop you having me before." she
giggled then she looked at her seriously. "I want you
so much Faith. Just sitting here looking at you, it's
driving me crazy!" She gave her a quick kiss then
reluctantly pulled away. "But I guess we had better be
sensible and go now, go and be sociable to the
maddening crowd!"
"Yes we must. Apparently there are pre-lunch drinks in
the Reception Hall where ever that is then lunch it's
self. I must be back here at two forty five for the
next session, that's a shade less than an hour and
fifteen minutes!"
"Come then. Our public await us!" Anne said quietly,
taking her hand and kissing the backs of her fingers.
Leaving the control room, as they walked down the aisle
to the main exit , she stayed close to Faiths side.
After a brief chat with Mike at the door they walked on
out of the Conference Hall and under her guidance, duly
arrived at the Reception Hall.
The Reception Hall was the hotel ballroom and looking
round Faith quickly counted about twenty tables laid up
for lunch. Ten covers to each table, that's two hundred
people she reflected. To the right was a long bar and
the area was already filled with delegates.
"I didn't want a drink anyway!" Anne chuckled looking
at the melee.
"Chablis Ladies? It is chilled of course!" They turned
and Douglas stood behind them, accompanied by a tall
curvaceous red headed waitress who was carrying a tray
of glasses filled with white wine.
"You're an Angel Douglas!" Anne smiled taking a glass
and as Faith took hers she noticed the waitress give
Faith a bold, if not challenging smile followed by a
swift but very thorough and very obvious full length
appraising scan. The inspection completed, she gazed
back, levelling her eyes quite openly at her. The look
showed both admiration and brazen approval of what she
had seen and it left Anne in no doubt as to her
feelings for Faith or for that matter, her sexual
leanings. With an audacious grin the waitress turned
away to offer wine to other guests but before she moved
on she managed a quick but meaningful over the shoulder
"puppy eyes" glance at Faith. Faith glanced at Anne and
gave her a small smile as their eyes met and Anne's
scowled her disapproval then with a gentle shake of her
head, she grinned.
"I have reserved a small table for you both Miss Anne.
Table 11." Douglas informed them. "You two ladies, Mr
Hilden and Miss Helen, Mr West if he has time and
another gentleman, a Mr Howard. Mr Howard gave
instructions that I seat him at your table Miss Faith,
I trust that is in order?"
"Oh yes that's fine thank you Douglas, he's the boss
man." Faith answered.
"Better keep the chiefs happy!"
"But absolutement!" Douglas smiled, bowing slightly to
Faith and followed by the wine bearing waitress he
headed off in the direction of the crowded bar section
of the hall.
"Marvellous!" Anne murmured, her eyes following the
seductively undulating sway of the disappearing
waitress. "Do you have any more admirers Faith, I
sincerely hope my desire for you isn't as obvious as
hers!"
"I really don't know what your talking about Miss
Wilde." Faith chuckled and bending towards her
whispered "I only have eyes for you ma petite biche, I
promise!"
"Merci Mademoiselle." Anne said quietly and Faith
smiled.
"Very good! Your accent is excellent!" Faith grinned at
that moment they were interrupted.
"Faith my dear how was St. Petersburg? I hope they have
been looking after you here!" Faith smiled at the tall
dark haired man who had joined them who Anne recognised
immediately as Mark Howard and she was surprised when
as they shook hands he kissed Faith affectionately on
the cheek. Faith turned to Anne.
"Mark, meet Anne Wilde - Anne Mark Howard." and turning
back to him she said. "Anne is the conference co-
ordinator here Mark and she's been looking after me
superbly and as far as St. Petersburg was concerned it
was freezing! Something like 20o below when I left. I
can't understand why people live there, though it is in
fact in parts a lovely city."
"Faith is very special Mr Howard and we would be lost
without her." Anne said politely shaking hands with
him. "I have tried my best to look after her!"
"Yes Anne, she is special and please call me Mark, I
don't stand too much on the formalities of etiquette!"
and abruptly he turned back to Faith. "I won't talk
shop now Faith but we do have to talk, some thing has
come up and I need your help."
Anne felt the same little chill of alarm she had felt
when Mike mentioned Mark wanting to see Faith earlier
and she watched with renewed apprehension as Mark took
a glass of wine from Faiths admiring waitress who had
returned and was now hovering close to Faith. What does
he mean Anne wondered. Is she going to have to leave
early... leave before the conference finishes?
Desperately she fought against the sense of foreboding
that had suddenly enveloped her and forcefully reminded
herself that she was an "optimist" and should behave
like one. As she silently reflected on the
possibilities of Faiths future they were joined by
Brian Hilden and Helen and a moment later Mike West.
Taking a deep breath, and hiding her concern, and
though still apprehensive, she smiled cheerfully at
them.
The Lunch passed uneventfully and as they all left the
hall to return to the conference Anne felt decidedly
better. If it had been a matter of urgency she told
herself Mark would surely have brought the matter up.
The opportunity had arisen several times for him to do
so but as he and Faith chatted their conversation had
all been about the Russian trip... he had not once
mentioned anything about her changing her schedule. But
as they walked back to the hall however she became
decidedly unsettled and seeing her crestfallen
expression Faith asked quietly. "Are you okay little
one?"
"Of course!" Anne lied, but when they entered the
control room and she had quickly closed and locked the
door behind her she rushed up to Faith and put her arms
round her. "Faith what is happening?" she blurted
unable to hold back. "Why does he want to see you?
Please, I must know..."
Faith, noticing the distress in Anne's voice and seeing
the deep concern on her face pulled her in close and
held her. "Hey, what's all this about little one?" she
asked softly.
"Faith I just know he's going to ask you to go away! I
just know it!" Anne gasped tearfully. "and I can't bear
the thought of you going... we haven't talked or
anything and there is so much I want to say to you and
if you go I..."
"Hey hey! Just hold on there!" Faith interrupted
raising Anne's chin with her thumb and forefinger to
look down at her. "I'm not going anywhere, well not yet
anyway!" She put her arms round her again and rocking
her gently she kissed her hair and in a quiet soothing
tone said. "Mark has already said he will see me at
dinner tonight so whatever his problem is, I'm
certainly going to be here tonight what ever happens."
Anne pulled back and looked at her. "I'm sorry, I know
you think I'm being silly but I don't want you to just
go. I need to talk to you and, and things..."
Faith looked into the big blue eyes that gazed up at
her, moist with the suspicion of tears. She reached for
her and pulled her close again and held her tightly,
pressing Anne's cheek into the comforting swell of her
breasts. Affectionately she cuddled her and gently she
stroked her hair.
"Shhh... Come ma petite biche, we'll have plenty of
time to talk and... and plenty of time for things too,
especially tonight!... and do you honestly believe I
could leave you and just go off after last night?...
with the relationship that we've now formed, do you?
You've become very very special to me Anne Wilde and I
wouldn't dream of letting that just fade into the
past."
"Oh I do hope so Faith." Anne said pulling away.
Gingerly she dabbed her eyes with a tissue and looking
down at Faiths shirt she smiled coyly. "First it was
your sheets and now I've messed your shirt. It's wet
and, and I'm afraid there's a little lipstick smudge
there too... I'm sorry..." She sniffed and looked up at
Faith wide eyed and shyly bit her bottom lip.
Faith inspected the small damp marks and tell-tale
smudge and looking back at her she smiled. "I'll wear
my jacket, it will cover the evidence and how about we
try your sheets tonight, that will even things up okay?
Now come, I must get ready and..." she smiled at Anne
and went on light-heartedly, "and what about that
coffee I was promised?"
She had been concerned at Anne's outburst but also
gratified that Anne had shown the emotion she had. It
was comforting to know this wasn't just a brief sexual
encounter for her she thought, not a one night pull.
She busied herself with the earpiece and made herself
comfortable and when Anne returned as she waited for
the kettle to boil, she affectionately squeezed her
hand and smiled. "You okay now?"
"Of course." Anne answered. "I'm fine, I really am and
I'm sorry Faith. I let myself get carried away there
for a moment. It sort of built up... "specially after
seeing that waitress flirt with you. Honestly I'm all
right now." She smiled and added. "and especially since
I now know that your sleeping in my bed tonight!"
Faith did not have time to answer. The red light lit up
and quickly with a final adjustment to her earpiece she
threw the switch and giving Anne a brief lingering look
and a smile that sent shivers through her she turned
away. "Good afternoon fellow delegates..." she began.
Chapter 15
Sitting back in her chair and curling her legs beneath
her Anne listened to the soft gentle sound of Faiths
voice and it was quite some time later that she
suddenly realised that Faith was actually speaking
English and that she hadn't registered a word. Twice
she made more coffee and though she tried on both
occasions not to disturb her when she gave it to her
she warmed when as without pausing in her dialogue
Faith had reached out and affectionately and intimately
caressed the cheeks of her bottom.
The minutes ticked by until suddenly with a flick of
her hand, Faith finally switched the system off and
leaning back in her chair removed her earpiece. Turning
to Anne she smiled at her and raising her arms above
her head, straightening her legs out and lifting her
feet off the ground, she stretched. Then, swivelling
round on her chair to face her, she said with a grin.
"So, How's my baby? You've thirty minutes to tell me
all your troubles!"
Anne had watched as Faith raised her arms and noted how
the material of her shirt tightened against the swell
of her breasts. She looked lustfully down at the long
legs that pointed towards her. "Just keeping my hands
off you is the only problem I've got at the moment, and
if you stretch like that in front of me again I can't
promise that! You've got me going all gooey just
looking at you!" She stood up and crossed over to her.
"I believe it's Tea and Bickies time." She said and
giving her a quick hug she kissed her then moved to the
door. Just as she went to slip the bolt there was a
knock and she turned to Faith who quickly slipped her
jacket on then nodded and with a smile Anne turned back
and opened the door.
It was Mark Howard.
"Would you two ladies allow me to escort you to the tea
room?" he asked politely giving them a slight,
courteous bow.
"Well thank you Mark! We'd be delighted and honoured!"
Faith answered laughing good-naturedly and leaving the
office the three of them walked down the aisle towards
the exit, Mark leading the way.
"You'll be pleased to know everyone is delighted with
you performance as always Faith!" Mark called over his
shoulder and smiling to Anne said. "Did you know Anne,
Faith is the only interpreter that I have ever known
who gets fan mail. We even have requests for recordings
of her voice. People who have never even met her, they
see her, hear her voice and that's it, They're hooked.
And she has men and women in her fan club Anne and they
couldn't care less what she's saying! And then there
are the requests for photos..."
"Mark, please you're exaggerating and your also
embarrassing me." Faith exclaimed interrupting him and
looking at Anne she said. "I told you he was a problem
didn't I. I suspect he's after something as well and
I'm normally right. Whenever he starts to flatter me
he's usually warming up to ask a favour!"
Mark looked at Faith with a feigned hurt expression.
"Faith! How unkind. That's not true! Well, not normally
it isn't!"
They left the theatre and on reaching the Reception
Hall were met at the door by Douglas who politely
indicated a corner table. "Miss Anne, Miss Faith, Mr
Howard sir, if you would like to go over there to the
corner table Leanne will look after you."
They thanked him and crossed the room as instructed and
Anne grinned at Faith as she recognised 'Leanne' as the
admiring waitress from lunch time. She watched with a
mixture of smouldering anger and amusement as the woman
again openly flirted with Faith. She poured them their
tea, politely pushing the cups across the table to
herself and Mark but with Faith she not only asked if
she had a preference of tea or coffee but asked if she
wanted sugar and milk. Adding the sugar for her she
handed Faith the cup and picking up a salver laden with
biscuits and small cakes offered them to her.
"Would Miss Hollings like coffee, tea or me?" Anne
quietly mimicked a short time later and seeing that
Mark was out of ear shot talking to a delegate. Giving
Faith a sarcastic smile she added in almost a whisper.
"Perhaps Miss Hollings would like me to give her a
quick blow job under the table to help relax her?"
Faith studied Anne over her coffee cup, her eyes
smiling with amusement. "You really can be quite
delightfully obscene when you want to can't you." she
said quietly.
Anne grinned and seeing Mark was still out of earshot
said "When I am with you yes..." and then still
imitating Leanne's Australian accent, she said "Tell
you what Mate, I'll claw her bloody eyes out if she
lays a finger on you, or anything else for that
matter!"
Faith chuckled quietly as she looked at Anne and
munching on her biscuit she said. "Just you behave
yourself... and for the record, your Australian accent
is quite appalling!"
Anne smiled sheepishly then said. "Well honestly, just
look at her! If she drools any more I'll have to wipe
her chin. God knows what sort of state her knickers
must be in."
"Anne!" Faith exclaimed wide eyed but grinning at the
same time. "For goodness sake behave!"
Anne glared with mock anger at Leanne then turned back
to Faith and smiled coyly. Faith wrinkled her nose at
her with amused acknowledgement but their momentary
privacy was suddenly ended by the arrival of more
delegates and Mark also turned and rejoined them.
Anne watched as Faith was rapidly surrounded by
delegates but in what seemed only a few minutes a bell
rang and everyone began to head back to the conference
hall. Anne watched as Leanne made a point of taking
Faiths empty cup and plate from her, her fingers
'accidentally' just happening to brush Faiths as she
did so and when Faith glanced at Anne Anne raised her
eyebrows and looked to the ceiling in mock resignation.
Together they made their way to the theatre and when
they entered Evania suddenly appeared and hugging Faith
affectionately spoke briefly to her in Russian. Faith
answered her and they then both turned and looked at
Anne and Evania grinned and said something again in
Russian and left. When they reached the privacy of the
control room Anne turned to Faith as she bolted the
door. "Do I barricade the door?... just to make sure
your not accosted by all your admirers and potential
lovers during the speeches?"
"Anne shhh!" Faith said quietly as she sat at her desk.
"You know your grossly exaggerating!"
"Huh! I wish." Anne retorted. "And what did the
magnificent Evania want? As if I didn't know... and why
did she look at me like that?"
Faith looked at her, thoughtful for a moment then said.
"You really want to know?
I shouldn't tell you really as it will boost you ego
unbearably. But okay I'll tell you. Firstly she joked
that I was avoiding her and seeing you were with me she
then asked if you and I had a thing going. I told her
yes, we had. I told her yes... and that we had become
lovers and that you had slept the night with me. She
said you were a very lucky girl and that she was very
jealous. She also suggested that we should have a
threesome which needless to say I declined saying I
wanted you all to myself. Believe me now?"
Anne stared at Faith in disbelief. "Oh Faith how lovely
of you!... and yes, of course I believe you." Then she
smiled and said cheerfully. "but I did need
reassurance. Let's face it, both Evania and Leanne are
very striking women compared to me... I'm only little
and..."
"I told you last night Anne Wilde." Faith interrupted,
keeping a vigilant eye on the stage. "You talk too much
and at the moment your talking garbage! Just remember
young lady, you've already shown me in the most
delightful way that you're, and I quote '... just the
right height and size...' and she grinned as she
slipped her earpiece in and looking out at the theatre
again said "so how about some more coffee and a little
less of the rabbit Wabbit?".
"Coffee coming up." Anne smiled and when, turning to
put the kettle on, and with another very bad imitation
of Leanne's accent, she said. "Geez sport I'll do just
anything to please you Sheila!"
Faith toyed with her earpiece and looking over to her
said gently. "Anne Wilde your are incorrigible and that
accent, it really has to be the worst I have ever
heard. It's diabolical!" and without looking at her
said quietly "but I love you anyway!" and throwing the
switch she began translating.
~
Anne lowered herself unsteadily on to her chair totally
numbed by Faiths parting words. Her hands were suddenly
moist and had began trembling slightly. Her temples
throbbed noisily and her heart pounded in her chest and
suddenly she was short of breath. Barely noticing
Faiths calm pleasantly familiar voice as she sat
translating, she sat motionless, staring at her
dumbfounded. Faiths arms rested on the desk and she was
toying with a thin gold propelling pencil and
mesmerised Anne watched the long fingers sliding up and
down it's length as repeatedly she turned it end to
end.
She looked up at the clock on the wall... nearly four
thirty... I can't speak to her for at least an hour.
Nothing in the world she thought could I have wanted
more than to hear her say those words and as she sat
staring at her her mind was in a whirl. She just told
me she loved me... she said it... she did say it, she
said she loved me... but I love you anyway!... but did
she mean what she said, was she serious?... or was she
joking?... she said... but... Oh God but I have a
million questions Faith, and it all ends up as just
one. Did you really really mean it...
The kettle clicked loudly making her jump and getting
up quickly she made coffee. Thankfully her hands were
no longer shaking and her breathing was normal again
but as she placed the coffee next to her, though Faiths
Russian dialogue didn't falter Faith looked down and
touched Anne's hand. Briefly her fingers closed
affectionately on her wrist and gave her a gentle
squeeze. Anne shivered at the contact and briefly she
touched Faiths hand, then returning to her chair she
sat down again. Her temples were throbbing again and
her heart still thumped unmercifully and with amused
resignation she registered the smooth warmth in her
groin brought on by her touch. She's made me wet again
she sighed. She just touched my hand and I am leaking
like a sieve... and curling her feet up beneath her,
with a contented smile, she picked up her own coffee
and adoringly watched Faith translating.
As she sat patiently watching and listening to Faiths
soothing voice she sipped her coffee and she slowly
tried to pull her thoughts together. Trying desperately
to make sense of all that had happened since Faith had
so dramatically entered her life. She tried to
formulate a plan for the future. I must talk seriously
to her she decided. I must find out exactly where I
stand. She smiled as she recalled Faith saying how
courageous she'd been in making the first move and
thinking back realised that a disaster it would have
been if Faith had been "straight" and had been offended
by her confession.
A little shiver swept through her as she reflected
briefly on what might have been and her pulse quickened
even more. But no, the worst had not happened...
instead we made love. We made beautiful sensual and
uninhibited love. We slept together, showered together
and then, and then more passionate lovemaking... and
this morning, after the bathroom seduction, the
ultimate sexual pleasure.... Soixante neuf the French
call it...her insides churned as she recalled the
sexual gratification and beauty of the act.... Her
scent and then the taste of her wetness as it began to
flow... the touch of her body above me... the feel of
her firm thighs and buttocks and the softness of her
breasts on my tummy.... and at the same time, her
reciprocal caresses and her ministrations to my own
eager body....
Anne sighed as she felt the tingling of her sex
responding to the erotic memories...and then today she
thought, she has said such wonderful things to me...
"ma petite biche", "my darling" and, and then finally
those magic words. "but I love you anyway!"...
Our relationship has changed. Dramatically changed in
the last twenty four hours. Now we are lovers.
Sexually, mentally and physically... but is it possible
she could have fallen in love with me? I fell in love
with her fast enough so I guess it's quite possible...
but could I really dare hope... Her stomach turned as
suddenly her mind registered the possibility that to
Faith it could be just a inconsequential "par for the
course" sexual interlude. A short lived conference
romance... Oh God will it all end tomorrow when she
leaves she wondered.
A change in speakers caused a brief break and Faith
paused. Turning to Anne she pursed her lips and blew
her a kiss and wrinkling her nose up she smiled at her.
Anne blew a kiss back just in time as Faith turned back
and continued to translate. The brief visual contact
and affectionate exchange had instantly pacified her.
The gesture of affection and the softly blown kiss had
dissolved the negative feelings of a moment ago and
replaced them now with a feeling of contentment.
Sighing softly she happily hugged her knees to her
chest and settled back in her chair. She glanced again
at the clock. Why does time always crawl so when you
want it to fly she thought as her eyes strayed back to
Faith. Her desire for her was overwhelming and the more
she watched her the more she wanted her. I'm in love
she thought happily. Anne Wilde, you're in love...and
you're in love with a woman who you have known of just
twenty four hours... Oh God I wish I could tell you I
love you... I want to tell you how much I want you and
how much you mean to me... She sat watching her for
what seemed an eternity until finally Faith sat back
and flicking the transmit switch off, she looked across
at her.
"Nearly done little one, not long now!" she said
quietly and Anne slipped off her chair and crossed over
to her. Picking up the empty coffee cup and saucer she
looked at her, her face serious.
"Faith, when we finish here, can we go straight up
stairs to our room? I mean, well you know, not
socialise in the bar and things first. It's important
to me. I really do have to talk to you about... about
something... "
Faith raising an eyebrow tilted her head and grinned
and was about to joke with her but seeing her
expression changed her mind. "Of course Of course
little one." The red light flicked back on interrupting
any further discussion and Faith turned away and
switching the set back on continued to translate.
Patiently Anne again sat watching her. She ached with a
desperate yearning for physical contact with her. She
longed to reach out to her but even more she longed for
clarification of what their relationship was going to
be in the future. This beautiful woman she thought,
this beautiful woman who has suddenly entered my life
in such a devastating, spectacularly sensual and
psychological way... A couple of lines from a poem she
had read somewhere came to mind and she recited them to
herself as she gazed in silent adoration...
...with you my love I have a love, a love that's deep
and true with you my love, I am in love, and I know not
what to do...
The smooth soft tone of Faiths voice had soothed her
into a pleasurable state of enchanted oblivion and she
jumped when suddenly there was a light tap on the door.
Quickly she stood up and crossed the room and glancing
through the two-way window and her heart sank. Mark
Howard stood outside the door.
"Damn" she muttered under her breath. "That's all I
need now!" but quickly she opened the door, let him in
and politely motioned him to a chair. He smiled
acknowledgement and sat down, declining her silent
offer of coffee with a shake of his head and Anne sat
down on the remaining chair next to him, feeling
decidedly uncomfortable and also feeling strangely
resentful towards his arrival. She was acutely
apprehensive as to his plans for Faith but at the
moment her worst fear was that he might in some weird
way pick up her feelings for Faith. I know it's crazy
she told herself, there is no way, in fact no reason
for him to even suspect but... Desperately she wanted
to present the image of a cool calm and efficient
business woman but she was experiencing great
difficulty in even trying to sit still and her sigh of
relief some minutes later when Faith finally finished
talking was almost audible.
"Hi Mark" Faith called after switching the system off.
"And what do we owe the honour of such a visit may I
ask?" She asked the question with a broad smile as she
removed her earpiece. "I am correct in assuming that my
official capacity has now ended until tomorrow am I
not? I know of course that I am on call in case of an
emergency but..."
"Absolutely Faith! You are quite correct. Unless as you
say, there is an emergency. Dinner tonight is strictly
optional and informal. I do believe though..." and he
looking questioningly at Anne. "That in the reception
hall there are free drinks this evening from seven..."
Anne nodded agreement. "Yes!" she said quietly. "That
is so."
"Good, then perhaps I may ask you two ladies to join me
to accept the kind hospitality of the hotel and perhaps
dine with me afterwards? It will I promise be just the
three of us, well actually four as Mike West may join
us but I promise," and he grinned at Faith crossing his
heart in a dramatic show of sincerity. "No conference
business chat!"
"Careful Anne!" Faith said feigning seriousness for a
moment. "Remember what I told you earlier. When Mark is
this charming he's after something. I'll double the bet
to a hundred to one he's softening me up for a favour!
He's also a tight fisted bugger and free drinks are a
green light to him so don't be deceived by his charm!"
She was smiling now and looking at Mark she raised her
eyebrows questioningly and Anne realised she was
teasing him.
Mark looked down at his feet with a slight show of
embarrassment and cleared his throat. Looking up he
glanced at Anne and grinning, shook his head. "She
knows me too well Anne! Still, I know my Faith pretty
well too. Obviously a bit of bribery is called for, a
few vodkas and diet cokes followed by some good food
and fine wine eh Faith?"
Faith laughed. "Well, that might help but I'm not
committing myself to anything.
We'll have the seduction first and then the chat later.
Right Anne!"
"And whose side are you on Anne?" Mark asked looking at
her enquiringly and smiled. "As if I didn't know."
"Oh definitely Faiths." Anne exclaimed with a chuckle
but a pang of concern immediately slid through her. Had
she answered to emphatically? and his comment, could he
really have picked up her real feelings for Faith?
"Yeah well that figures, okay so I guess I will have to
chat you both up then." He stood up and Anne looked
across at Faith who was also now standing, rubbing the
stiffness in the back of her neck.
"Fine Mark! We'd be delighted to join you!" she said
then glanced at Anne and raised her eyebrows in
question. "Anne I am sorry, I'm being very rude and
presumptuous. I didn't ask if you had plans of your own
and I assumed you would join us. Please, will you? I
think I might need your support as he can be a real
charmer and smoothie!"
Anne nodded. "I have no other arrangements and I would
love to join you both, and I thank you both for the
invitation." She smiled to herself as Faith looked at
her.... you gorgeous creature, you know only too well
that I wouldn't dream of going anywhere without you and
if I'd had any other arrangements you know very well
I'd have instantly cancelled them...
Faith moved over to her side and stood close. Casually
she draped an arm round her shoulders and gave her a
little hug. "Good, two against one then!"
"Fine" Mark exclaimed. "I'll be the envy of every man
in the room and looking at you two, a few of the women
as well I suspect. Particularly having seen some of the
staff and delegates here! That Russian woman is quite
something Faith don't you think?" he said with a grin.
"Not my type Mark!" Faith joked. Anne had blushed
instantly at Marks comment and turned away to hide her
discomfort but Faith came to her rescue. Affectionately
she put her arm round her shoulder again. "Behave
yourself Mark!" she said sternly, though she was
smiling at him as she spoke. "It's all right Anne, Mark
is one of the very few people outside my own private
circle of friends who knows I'm a lesbian. I trust him
implicitly Anne as he is I assure you a very good and
sincere friend. Being the observant little bugger that
he is I guess it didn't take him long to figure out our
relationship."
Anne turned and looked first at Faith then at Mark in
total disbelief. Her neck and face were on fire and she
swallowed, unable to speak.
"She is quite correct Anne and knowing her as well as I
do it took me a very short time to realise that she had
found a... a friend in you. Faith is a very dear friend
of mine and I am truly delighted for her and for you.
More actually than you will ever know and to allay your
obvious concern, I assure you I would never divulge
anything of a personal nature concerning her or you for
that matter. I give you my word on that!"
"Oh dear me..." Anne gasped. She looked again from Mark
to Faith who smiled at her encouragingly and though she
had been staggered at the sudden confirmation of her
previous concerns, she gave a little sigh and put her
arm round Faiths waist. "Well actually, I'm afraid
someone else knows." She looked up at Faith and went
on. I'm sorry Faith but Mike West is a very sincere and
very close friend to me. He has known me for a long
time and has also known of my... well my gender
preferences." She smiled shyly and went on "and though
I actually didn't tell him, as Mark has done, he
guessed about us immediately he saw us together." She
then looked at Mark. "Mark, Mike is a true friend to me
and I trust him implicitly as Faith does you. If Faith
has such a trust in you then I of course will do so too
but, but I do find the situation at this moment rather
awkward and extremely embarrassing to say the least!"
"Please don't be embarrassed Anne and your trust in me
will truly be honoured." Marks tone was one of genuine
sincerity and Anne felt more at ease as with a broad
smile he turned away from them and diplomatically
changed the subject. "Okay then you two! It's settled,
I'll see you both at seven in the bar!"
"Er... can we make it seven thirty, seven thirty'ish to
eight'ish Mark, it's already a quarter to six now and
I'd like to shower and freshen up properly and change.
I'm sure Anne does as well..."
"Sounds fine to me!" Mark affirmed. "I feel a bit like
a used rag myself!" and walking to the door he held it
open to them and dutifully they filed out.
Faith waited as Anne locked the door behind them and as
they walked down the isle of the now deserted theatre
Faith slipped her fingers under Anne's long hair and
caressed the back of her neck. Anne turned and looked
up at her with a look of gratitude then turning to Mark
Faith said. "I'd better check with Helen in case she
has any problems then if all is well we'll go up and
put our Glad Rags on Mark."
Faiths hand still lingered on her neck and Anne moved
close to her side as they walked down to the exit. Only
when they reached and entered the foyer did she move
away.
"Excuse me Miss?" Faith jested to Helen when they
arrived at the reception counter. "But may my pardner
and I go to our rooms please, we've finished our work
and further more, this man is harassing us!"
They all laughed and Helen nodded. "No problem, I trust
we will have the pleasure of your company for drinks
later?"
"Mark is going to chat us both up. Promised to wine and
dine us!" Faith joked.
"We are sure he is after something and what ever it is,
it is going to cost him plenty!"
"Yeah yeah yeah okay, I admit I do need to talk about
some future plans that I have but it will be I assure
you be a light and informative discussion!" He chuckled
looking at Helen and then looked at the ceiling with an
expression of exasperated resignation. "I've been
warned!"
"We'll see you later then Mark." Faith said smiling at
him and she turned to Anne.
"Come!" she said quietly. "Time that you and I went
away to prepare our defences!"
As they walked together to the stairway Anne purposely
kept a gap between them in case they were being watched
but the closer they came to their rooms the more
emotional she felt herself becoming. Marks last
statement had instantly prompted a flood of concern
about Faith and her possible departure and when she
finally got to her door and opened it she hurriedly
pulled Faith inside.
Quickly shutting it behind them she put her finger to
her lips and hurried across the room to her bedroom to
check they were alone. When she was satisfied they were
she rushed back to Faith and flung her arms round her
and hugging her tightly she gasped. "Oh Faith! Alone at
last!"
Faith lent back against the door and putting her arms
round her soothingly stroked her back and held her
close. Anne pressed into her, nuzzling her face against
the pillowing softness of her breasts, then taking a
deep breath but still clinging on tightly, she began to
pour out her heart.
"Faith, I know you'll think I'm stupid," she blurted.
"But I have to talk to you and I know I'm going to say
this all wrong Faith but, well I know you said that
about me to Evania and that I was not to worry about
her or Leanne but what is going to happen to us Faith?
What happens when you have to leave, go away, and you
will I know you will. Mark"s going to send you off
somewhere I know it, I know it and what will you do
about me? You won't just forget me will you Faith?" Her
voice was becoming choked with emotion and though she
tried desperately to fight it her eyes began to show
signs of tears and in a moment she began to sob
quietly. "Faith you're not going to leave me are you,
please don't go away and forget about me Faith, I don't
want our relationship to end like that Faith, you mean
so much to me..."
Faith pried herself from Anne's hold and placing her
hands on her shoulders held her at arms length. Gently
she shook her. "Anne Wilde! Will you just sush!" she
said sternly but kindly. "Just for one minute will you
be quiet!"
Anne looked up at her and nodded. Biting her lower lip
she wiped a tear from her cheek with the back of her
hand. She was about to speak again but Faith,
anticipating her, quickly bent down and kissed her
firmly on the mouth and at the same time, scooped her
up in her arms and carrying her bodily, walked quickly
through to the bedroom.
Anne put her arms round Faiths neck and breaking their
kiss began to sob again and burying her face in the
crook of Faiths neck she finally blurted out what she
had been wanting to say for so long. "Oh Faith I feel
awful, so stupid you can't understand but... but Faith
I'm sorry but, but I have fallen in love with you
Faith. I'm in love with you and can't help myself. I
just love you so much..." She sniffed noisily and went
on. "So now I've said it, so now you know. I just don't
know what I'll do if I loose you..." She gulped for air
and before Faith could speak she raced on, "Faith I
know last night was fantastic. It truly was but Faith
it's not just the wonderful sex we had, Faith it's
everything about you. Faith I'm so in love with you and
I couldn't bear it if you went away..."
Faith had reached the edge of Anne's bed and as Anne
was holding her so tightly she leant forward and they
fell on to it, landing with Anne beneath her. Reaching
up she unwound Anne's arms and holding her now tear
streaked face in her hands she again kissed her
forcefully on the mouth. She pressed down hard,
silencing the verbal outburst, and the sobs, and only
when Anne began to respond to her embrace did she ease
away.
"Now you listen in young lady, I have something to say,
okay?" she said softly.
Anne was gasping for air and nodded but then blurted.
"I know it's only been twenty four hours since we met
Faith but I do, I do love you, honestly I..."
Smiling Faith placed a hand firmly over Anne's mouth to
cut her short. "Will you please just shut up for one
minute?" she commanded.
Anne nodded.
"You promise? not a word till I tell you?"
Anne nodded again and slowly Faith lifted her hand
away. She grinned at Anne's silence, for a moment
holding her hand just inches from her mouth. Anne's
eyes were full of tears but she managed a small smile
and Faith sighed as Anne again nervously nibbled her
bottom lip. Satisfied that her silence was now assured
she went on.
"Okay then. That's better." She wiped the tears from
Anne's cheek with her thumb and pushed her hair back
from her face. "Now, you just listen in. I am not going
to leave you Anne or forget about you either. And I do
not want this relationship to end like that as you
blithely describe it, okay?" She placed a finger across
Anne's mouth to ensure silence and Anne nodded. Though
still tearful, her eyes began to smile.
"All right then. Now, for your information you do not
have a monopoly on the love situation. It frightened
the hell out of me when I realised it but of course I
love you Anne. I thought you realised that ages ago but
obviously you've been too uptight to have detected it.
Anne, I don't want our relationship to end, quite the
opposite in fact. The future maybe hold difficulties
for us both as for starters obviously like me you
haven't generally come-out on the lesbian front...
Also, because of our jobs and I think we both feel the
same way about that. I know we can cope and, well as
far as my job is concerned I have to do some explaining
to you on that score. Suffice to say for now that I on
occasions am..." she paused then went on "let us say
covertly I am sometimes more than just an interpreter.
But that can wait. Anne I grew very fond of you, almost
from the moment we met, and I want to build on our
relationship as much as you, not loose it. Okay?"
Anne nodded.
"Well I'm glad that's that sorted!" Faith chuckled and
before Anne could answer she bent down to her and again
kissed her hard on the mouth. Their embrace was
passionate but finally Faith pulled away.
"Thank you." Anne whispered "I'm happy now I know you
aren't leaving me and, and that you do love me after
all..." She buried her face back into the curve of
Faiths neck and shoulders and hung on to her tightly
and as the tears came back she gasped between sobs.
"I'm so relieved, I'm so happy..."
"Then God help us when you get miserable!" Faith
murmured quietly with a chuckle and again she hugged
her.
"I am sorry Faith, I'm not normally a cry baby but the
thought of suddenly losing you was just all to much for
me. My insides couldn't cope!" As she spoke her voice
was punctuated with little sniffs and sobs but her face
showed the signs of her relief and she began to smile.
"So, so much has happened, and it has all been so
sudden."
"Well now at least you know you're not loosing me."
Faith said kindly and feeling her stir beneath her she
kissed her again but she took her time and their
embrace again was long deep and passionate. Finally
their lips parted but as they gasped for air they began
fondling each other. Their hands searched and caressed
intimately until finally Faith rolled away from her and
lay on her side breathing heavily. "Oh God! Come on
you, for goodness sake we must stop this. I'm getting
so randy again and if we continue... well I must go and
we my dear one, we must get changed."
"But Faith, you can't!" Anne exclaimed staring at her.
"You can't leave now!
You, you said you loved me!" She reached for a tissue
and blew her nose noisily.
"You can't go now!" she said again.
"So, yes I said I loved you and I meant it. I do love
you." Faith looked at her with an amused but quizzical
expression on her face. "But why pray should that stop
me leaving so we can go and change?"
"Well you said you loved me so do it, you've got to do
it!" Anne grinned.
"Do what darling?" Faith queried.
"Make love to me of course!" Anne murmured.
Faith kissed her cheek. "Darling we just don't have
time! We'll make love later tonight I promise but not
now, there just isn't time. Though God help me I want
you so badly it hurts!"
"But Faith you must, you can't leave me like this. I'm
all, well you know I'm thingy again."
Faith stared at her. "Oh God... but Anne, the time
and..."
"Faith, I am serious, you just can not leave me like
this... I'm so wet... just you feel, you said yourself
this morning that you couldn't leave me all thingy,
still applies!" She giggled mischievously and wriggled
herself against Faith and added in a whisper "A
quickie!"
"But Anne!" Faith looked at her then resignedly sighed.
"Oh God but you'll be the death of me but..." Their
lips crushed together as Faith pressed down on her and
swiftly reaching down she found and undid the zip on
Anne's skirt. Hiking her shirt up she quickly slid her
hand up the inside and in a moment was cupping a small
breast in her palm. She caressed it, lightly squeezing
the softness with her fingers, teasing and pinching the
nipple and Anne moved beneath her, moaning quietly with
pleasure and pushing her shirt free Faith drew the
other breast into her mouth and Hungrily sucked and
pulled on the nipple.
"Oh yes!" Anne gasped through clenched teeth pulling
her hard into her. Reaching down Faith roughly pulled
her skirt free and Anne felt the long cool fingers
sliding up her thighs. She parted her legs and groaned
as they swiftly dipped beneath the leg band of her
pants.
"Oh my you weren't kidding were you," Faith whispered.
"You really are thingey aren't you. Anne your
absolutely soaking!" and without pausing, her fingers
probed the smooth wetness and slid into her.
"I told you... " Anne gasped, writhing and pushing
against her. She lifted her hips and without further
prompting Faith, hastily removing her fingers, slid her
pants off. Quickly, she knelt between Anne's legs and
reaching under her she cupped Anne's buttocks in her
palms. Briefly she nuzzled and kissed the tops of her
thighs then sliding her tongue into the soft wetness
her mouth hungrily pressed down.
Anne lay back and groaned, surrendering to the blissful
sensations but suddenly, to her dismay Faith pulled
away and getting off the bed, stood up.
Anne stared up at her in disbelief. "Faith, what..."
"Just get those clothes off!" Faith said quietly, her
eyes fixed on Anne's and she began unbuttoning her
shirt. "All of them, I want you naked... and be quick
about it." she ordered. Anne shivered with excitement.
In an instant she had stripped and was submissively
lying back on the bed naked. Her eyes had not left
Faiths and she watched in eager anticipation as Faith
almost as quickly removed her own clothes.
Licking her lips Anne began fondling her breasts,
squeezing them gently and still holding their gaze she
reached down with her other hand and slowly started to
masturbate.
"You learn fast." Faith breathed huskily as she stepped
out of her pants and lowered herself back on to the
bed.
"I think it turns me on doing it in front of you more
than it does you watching me." Anne whispered.
"Don't you believe it!" Faith murmured. "I'm leaking
like a sieve!"
Anne reached for her. She ran her fingers through the
soft springy hair probing between her thighs and she
began stroking her. "I see what you mean, how
beautiful."
"Come on you, it's you who needs the loving right now!"
Faith breathed and quickly pushing her back she bent
down and again took a small breast in her mouth and
sliding her hand down her fingers quickly re-entered
her. They moved fast and knowingly and at the same
time, almost brutally she nibbled hard on Anne's
nipple.
Anne arched up. "Oh God Faith, oh my God!" she blurted.
She curved towards her, her leg lifting over Faiths
thighs as she moved against her, trying to keep in
time.
Faith continued to suckle the breast, swirling her
tongue firmly over the smooth softness again, taking
the tip between her teeth, she nibbled hard on it and
closing her free hand over the other breast, pinched
the other nipple firmly between her thumb and
forefinger. The pain was instant but exquisite and Anne
cried out as, with perfect precision, the probing
fingers tips gently but firmly circled inside her. Anne
groaned again through clenched teeth and a shuddering
spasm swept through her. She gripped Faith tightly with
her arms and legs. Her body convulsed and jerked
uncontrollably several times then gradually, the spasm
passed' and as Faiths caresses slowed down Anne finally
released her grip. "Oh God." she gasped, still
trembling as the aftermath of her orgasm continued to
radiate through her body. "Oh Faith...!" she panted.
"Well now Miss Wilde." Faith whispered and kissing Anne
on the forehead she tasted the salty dampness of her
perspiration. She had partly removed her fingers but
her hand still cupped and pressed on the smooth warm
wetness of Anne's sex but gently she released her hold
on her and propped herself up on one elbow. "Do you
think that will keep you satisfied until tonight?"
Anne's face was flushed and she was still panting.
"Faith, Faith you did that, you made me come so
quickly, it was barely a couple of minutes... I don't
believe it!"
Faith smiled. "No my darling, we made you come, not I!
We both wanted it to happen and... well we did it
together." She looked down at Anne lying on her back,
legs splayed and she watched with a lustful fascination
as her fingers intimately stroked the smoothness
between them. "How beautiful, so beautifully sensual
and delicious." she whispered as he fingers slid in
then out of the clinging softness between the
glistening lips.
Anne looked at her. Panting she licked her lips. "I
want to stay here Faith. Stay here all night, I want us
to make love all evening and all night... "
Faith smiled and bending down she kissed her shoulder.
"I would like that too my darling, but duty calls.
Later perhaps, in fact no perhaps, definitely. We will
make love again later." Sliding her lips along Anne's
shoulder she traced her tongue into the hollow of her
collar bone then kissed her way up her neck. Their
mouths met and they kissed each other hungrily.
Submitting again to the temptation, Faith slid her
fingers back into Anne's wetness. "... and you must put
this little wet fluffy away!" she whispered, probing
her with long gentle strokes. "... or I'll change my
mind and stay, and then we will both be in big trouble,
unexplainable trouble!".
"I couldn't care less!" Anne answered softly her hips
lifting and pushing into Faiths caresses. "All I can
think of is being here with you..."
Faith smiled. "If only life was that easy!" she sighed.
Then, as their eyes held, she removed her fingers and
brought them up to her lips. She inhaled noisily then
delicately, she licked them. "Who could would want
dinner after tasting this." she whispered. "I think, ma
petite biche, we need to spend some very serious time
together tonight, a whole lot of time. In private..."
"Oh Yes." Anne answered, realising the glorious
implications of Faiths statement.
"And when we are alone again, then I will finish what I
only started just now!" Faith murmured, "Let's just
hope we can get away early." Then quickly in one swift
movement she swung herself off the bed.
She swayed away gently to avoid Anne's grabbing hands
and quickly she collect her shoes and discarded clothes
from the floor and retreating quickly, headed for the
door to her own suite.
"Spoil sport!" Anne derided then she called after her.
"Faith..."
Faith stopped and turned to face her. "Faith, I am. I
am really truly in love with you, you must know that
now. I was so afraid I was going to lose you..." she
got up off the bed and hastily crossed over and stood
in front of her. The grey green eyes studied her
seriously for a moment and then Faith smiled and
abruptly she went down on one knee in front of her.
Anne stood in front of her. Just like a small child
Faith thought she gazed at her small breasts and the
slim waist that widened to gentle hips. The small but
pronounced mound of her pubis, crowned with the wispy
pubic hair...
Faith slid her hands up the back of Anne's legs,
caressed the cheeks of her bottom then reached up and
took Anne's face in her hands and she kissed her.
Wrapping her arms round her she held her next to her
body and said quietly. "I need you Anne. Just as much
as you need me... " She sighed deeply then nuzzling her
neck with little kisses she murmured. "I need you as my
friend as well as my lover. Don't you ever forget
that."
They held each other, relishing the warm sensual
contact of their bodies until with a final squeeze
Faith let go and taking both of Anne's hands in hers
she lifted them to her lips and tenderly kissed the
centre of each palm. She then closed them into little
fists. "When ever you feel low or have any doubts about
me," she said quietly, "those two kisses will always be
there for you!"
"Thank you." Anne whispered. The lump in her throat
threatened to suffocate her and hugging her again she
gasped. "I am sorry about earlier, I can get very
emotional I'm afraid and you have somewhat upset my
orderly little world!"
"Well no more worrying okay?" Faith chuckled. "and
you'd better be for real Anne Wilde as I'm not in the
habit of having long-term one-sided relationships!" She
paused then added "and I think that this one is going
to be a very long one!" For a moment she held her gaze
then briskly she said "See you in half an hour okay!
Thirty minutes!" and in a flash she'd stood back up,
turned and had gone.
Anne walked back to the bed and sat down on it. Pulling
her knees to her chest she hugged herself, rocking
gently back and forth in a state of contented bliss.
Finally putting her feet back down on the floor she
looked at her watch. Twenty five minutes, twenty five
minutes and she'll be back... and jumping off the bed
she ran through to the bathroom. Quickly she tucked her
hair into a shower cap and stepped under the spray.
"Twenty-four minutes," she said aloud. "Twenty four
minutes and I'm back in heaven."
