Risky Investment Part 30

"You sure that you've never been with a woman before?" Lynn asked, cradling Chris in her arms.

"What?" Chris said.

"You sure seemed like you knew what you were doing." Lynn chuckled.

Chris smiled and admitted, "I had some help from that book in your bedside table."

"Did you read the whole thing?" Lynn laughed.

"Yeah*" Chris blushed. "The night that you licked the ice cream from my skin* I think I freaked out so much because it reminded me of that scene in the cabin* you know, in the loft?"

Lynn smiled. "I think I remember the one*" Lynn said as she made her way down Chris's body with her tongue. Chris lay back and felt the heat rise once again. She gasped as Lynn's tongue flicked across her center of fire then dipped into her wetness.

"Oh my G.o.d!" Chris cried out as she was brought to a new height. The sensation was as close to heaven as she could imagine. Tears filled Chris's eyes as her body crashed over the edge.

Lynn kissed her way back up the body beneath her, but paused when she saw the tears wetting Chris's face.

"Why are you crying?" Lynn asked softly as she kissed away the tears.

Chris smiled and held Lynn close. "I broke the sound barrier."

Lynn was confused.

"It was just something that a friend of mine said to me. He compared the sensation he felt with breaking the sound barrier."

"He?" Lynn asked with jealousy.

"Don't worry, honey," Chris said as she ran her fingers through Lynn's hair. "After the experience I just had, I'm certain that you're the only one that I want."

Both satiated for the moment, they lay with their legs and arms intertwined.

Chris traced circles on Lynn's stomach and hesitantly asked, "So, will you go back to the house tomorrow?"

Lynn, extremely relaxed, answered with her eyes closed. "Don't you mean we? Will we go back to the house tomorrow?"

Lynn felt Chris's head nod and her lips smile against her skin. "Yes, we can go back to the house tomorrow."

"So what time do we need to check out?" Chris sighed.

"Well* I don't ever really check out," Lynn replied, still with her eyes closed.

Chris raised her head to look at Lynn. "Don't tell me that you own this hotel, too!"

Lynn smiled. "No, but I have an arrangement with the owner."

The two lay in silence for a moment. Chris still had questions.

"So is this where you came Monday night when you didn't sleep with Terri?"

Lynn opened her eyes, remembering that terrible night, and replied, "No, I was really in no condition to drive that night. I actually slept in my truck."

"Drink a little too much, did ya?" Chris teased.

"That, and the fact that I was just a little too frustrated to be on the road." Lynn paused and then decided to explain further. "Terri was a beautiful woman, and she did everything she could to get me to stay with her* but the only person that I wanted was you." Then, with a little chuclde she added, "She even told me that I could call her by your name!"

"So that's why she knew who I was at the bar that night," Chris mumbled.

Chris raised her body so that she could look into Lynn's eyes. Then, stroking Lynn's hair, she said seductively, "Well, you're here with me now. Do you still want me?"

Lynn pushed Chris onto her back and made sure that she knew the answer.

Chapter Twenty-Four.

Lynn woke to sun streaming into the room. Rolling over, she looked out toward the patio and smiled, seeing the drink that had been prepared for her still sitting on the ledge. Then she realized that she was alone.

Rubbing her fingers through her hair and then down her face, she stopped, smelling Chris's aroma still on her hands. She closed her eyes and told herself that she knew last night was too good to be true. Disappointment flooded her veins. Well, if that had been the only return on her investment, she guessed it had been worth it anyway.

Suddenly she was startled by a noise. Opening her eyes, she saw Chris in the doorway.

"I tried to find some coffee*" Chris began to explain.

Lynn smiled, trying to hide the tears of happiness in her eyes. "I just usually call room service."

Chris leaned against the door clad only in Lynn's black silk robe, and surveyed the bare body in front of her.

"I hope you don't mind, I borrowed your robe," Chris said. Then her lips forming into a mischievous grin, she moved toward the bed and continued, "but, if you'd like me to take it off*"

Lynn nodded and reached to untie the bow. Chris slid onto the bed and let the robe fall from her shoulders. Lynn pulled her close and whispered, "I was afraid that you were gone."

Chris softly smiled and shrugged. "I couldn't leave, the taxi left ten minutes ago."

Lynn looked over at the clock. Ten after nine. Then turning back, she brought Chris's lips to hers. Suddenly, their embrace was jolted by the ring of the telephone.

Lynn reached for the receiver but was stopped by Chris's hand. "Do you have to?"

Lynn smiled and explained, "The only calls they put through are from Matt."

Chris let go of the hand and laid her head on Lynn's chest, running her fingers over her hardened nipples.

"This better be good!" Lynn said sarcastically into the phone.

Matt laughed on the other end. "I guess we both got lucky last night, huh?"

Lynn smiled and answered, "Even still, Matt, if you know what I mean."

Matt apologized, "Oh, sorry, I'll let you go*"

"Matt, was there a reason you called?"

"Yeah, my parents wanted to make sure that you knew you were welcome at brunch today. It may be quite interesting, I'm going to bring Paul."

Lynn chuckled, put her hand over the mouthpiece, and asked Chris, "Matt is taking Paul to brunch today with his parents. Wanna go?"

Chris smiled and responded, "I wouldn't miss it for the world!"

Lynn agreed that they would meet the group at eleven o'clock.

"So, how much time do we have?" Chris said as she continued to run her thumb over Lynn's hardened nipple. Slowly lowering her mouth she began circling it with her tongue.

Lynn lay back on her pillow and moaned with pleasure, "We've got plenty of time!"

Chris let her tongue glide all the way down to the aching in between Lynn's legs. Slowly she teased as she sucked, then circled, taking her time, bringing Lynn to the top of the coaster ride.

"Oh G.o.d, please, Chris!" Lynn pleaded. Finally, Chris took her over the edge. Lynn stiffened then relaxed, overwhelmed by the sensation below. Chris made her way backup the limp body. Chris looked into her eyes and whispered, "You're amazing."

Lynn touched Chris's moisture as soon as it was within reach. She knew by instinct that Chris would be in need. Thinking about what Chris had just said, Lynn pulled away just as Chris started soaring.

"Oh sure, today I'm amazing. Last night, I believe I was a aecold-hearted b.i.t.c.h'!"

Chris opened her eyes in frustration. "You surely are a cold-hearted b.i.t.c.h if you keep me waiting much longer!"

Lynn smiled and continued what she had started, bringing Chris to ecstasy once again.

Matt pulled into the parking lot right behind Lynn and Chris. Jumping out of his car, he opened Chris's door and ducked his head inside. He smiled at her. "I guess she gave you a positive response last night, huh?"

Chris leaned forward and picked up the cigarettes from Lynn's dashboard. Pitching them into the backseat, she smiled and replied, "Let's just say that she won't be needing these anymore!"

Paul strolled over to join the group as they walked to the restaurant. Chris put her arm through his and pulled him behind.

"It looks like it worked out for both of us!" she said with a smile. "By the way, thanks for the advice."

Paul looked at her as if he didn't have a clue what she was speaking of.

"Please, Paul. Did you really think that I fell for your little act?" Chris laughed.

Paul's face broke out into a smile, then he put his hand over hers. "I didn't say a thing that wasn't the truth."

The four walked in and located Charles and Marie. As they approached the table, Marie looked confused.

"Okay, I'm confused. Who is with whom?" she asked in frustration.

Chris laughed, not realizing that she still had her arm hooked to Paul's. She released his arm and grabbed Lynn's hand to signify that she was indeed with Lynn.

Charles chuckled. "Well now, I guess the verdict came in last night, huh Lynn?"

Lynn blushed and smiled. "Believe me, Judge McKinley, she had a very convincing closing argument!"

Charles then approached his son's companion and offered his hand. "You must be Paul."

Marie, less formal than her husband, hugged the man and winked at Matt. "I'm so glad to meet Matt's real love interest!"

"Would anyone like something to drink?" the waiter offered over the three couples' chatter. Almost in unison, the six chimed, "Yes!"

The two women said their good-byes to Charles and Marie and agreed to meet the men later for dinner.

"I'm just going to swing by Sam and Beth's place and then we'll go home, okay?" Lynn said as she slid into the driver's seat.

"I don't know if I can wait that long." Chris smiled mischievously.

"Wait for what?" Lynn asked as she started the car.

Chris leaned over, grasped the back of Lynn's neck with her hand, and hungrily kissed her. Breaking away from the kiss, Chris leaned back in her seat and looked at Lynn for a response.

"We'll make it a quick stop!" Lynn exclaimed, almost choking on the words.

Chris nodded in agreement. "So, what are we stopping by for anyway?"

Lynn backed the car out of the parking s.p.a.ce and put the car into drive. "I found another way to finance their mortgage."

Chris looked at her partner suspiciously. "Another way?"

"Yeah," Lynn answered, purposely not looking into Chris's eyes. "I found another company that would finance them."

Chris was still suspicious. "So, you're telling me that you tried for months and months to find financing, and all of a sudden within two days you found someone?"

Lynn was silent. She was trying desperately to find another way to stretch the truth without actually lying.

"You know, if we're going to continue this relationship, you need to stop telling me half truths." Chris crossed her arms and looked out the window.

"Look, no one wants to finance an artist and her gay bar owner lover," Lynn stated.

"And* ?" Chris prodded for further information.

Lynn sighed and reluctantly revealed the truth. "So, I transferred ownership of the deed to one of my holding companies."

"And this is going to help how?" Chris asked.

Lynn looked at Chris and tried to explain. "I'll have them sign new paperwork. They'll think that I don't hold their mortgage anymore and that will make them feel better." Running her fingers through her hair, Lynn paused, then stared straight ahead as she continued, "You know, I don't think I've ever been as ashamed of myself as I was Wednesday night. I guess making them feel better will help me feel better, too. I just hope that I haven't ruined our friendship."

Chris nodded in understanding, then kidded, "So I guess I'm an accomplice now, huh?"

Thankful that she understood, Lynn smiled. "Partners in crime?"
