Kelly 08


Chapter 8
_________


After their shower, an attendant showed them to the mud bath.

Entering a room with a number of narrow acrylic beds, they were
directed to leave their robes and escorted to two beds side by
side.  The beds were more like shallow baths, complete with a
drain on one end and raised edges as well as a built in head
rest.  Before they lay down, a layer of warm mud was poured on
each bed and the girls were capped with plastic hoods to protect
their hair.  Sliding into a comfortable position, attendants
poured more mud over the rest of their bodies until every square
inch was coated.  One of the staff placed protective coverings
over their eyes and then proceeded to brush the same mud on
their faces.  A sheet of clear cellophane wrap was placed over
top of the beds, tucking them in like blankets right up to their
shoulders.  A small electric pump sucked out the air from
between their bodies and the wrap to keep the mud moist longer.
Told to relax, the girls were advised an attendant would check
on them every five minutes until the mud dried.

"This has quite a rich odor doesn't it?" said Laura.

"It's the sulfur in the mud," explained Kelly.  "It might be a
bit strong but it will take all the toxins out of your body.
Girl, you are going to shine tonight!"

"As bright as you?"

Kelly laughed.  "Oh, I might have a bit of a glow about me, but
no one to shine for."

"Kell, can I ask you something personal?"

Kelly laughed again.  The two daiquiris had helped her to
relax. "Sure Laura, after what happened earlier, I don't think
there's much left that would be too personal."

"Well, that's just it," said Laura dropping to a whisper.
"Before I saw your picture in the darkroom, I had never had any
feelings towards another girl that way.  I'm okay with it... I
mean... I figured I was just overwhelmed with how beautiful you
looked in that picture and then I met you and things have
continued to grow.  I'm just wondering if you ever..."

"Ever made it with another woman?  Is that what you mean?"

Laura was glad her face was covered in mud since she was sure
she was blushing furiously.  "Yeah... I guess that's what I
wanted to know."

Kelly's voice turned very somber.  "Honey, if you had asked me
that a week ago I would have told you that I had never in my
life been involved with another woman, and had no plans to ever
try it."  Kelly sighed.  "But sometimes things change in a big
way real fast.  I had lots of opportunities when I was modeling,
but never took any of them seriously.  Some of the women in the
business are as bad as some of the men.  They like what they see
and want to either own it or use it."

"But to answer your question," Kelly continued, "Last week I
made love with a woman for the first time in my life.  But it
wasn't sex."

"Say what?" said Laura.

"I know.  It's hard to understand.  It was so different!  But I
am so grateful to that girl because if she hadn't shown me...
well, the special moments we've had would probably never
have happened."

"Wow," was all Laura could say.

The girls had been laying in the beds for over half an hour and
slowly their body heat dried the mud to a hard crusty texture.
It was starting to get just a bit uncomfortable when the
attendants removed the plastic coverings. Both girls laughed at
each other caked with a thick layer of what was now a greenish,
ghoulish covering.  The attendants gathered their robes and led
them to the rinse room.

"I feel stiff as a board," said Laura.

"That'll disappear as soon as they turn the hoses on us," Kelly
laughed.

It was almost like a carwash except for softer bristles on the
hose nozzles.  Girls in one-piece bathing suits scrubbed Laura
and Kelly down with professional strokes that came from years of
practice.  It was even a bit arousing as the bristles brushed
against their vulvas and between their butt cheeks.  In a matter
of minutes all traces of the mud was washed from their bodies
and they were handed fresh robes and directed to the whirlpool.

"Timing is critical in a hot tub," said Kelly.  "More than 15
minutes and your blood will rise in temperature much like a
fever.  A lot of people have suffered brain damage from spending
too long in these things."

They sat in the swirling waters for ten minutes letting their
pores release whatever was left in them.  Laura especially was
feeling the sensations as the water tingled the newly hairless
areas of her body, then left for the showers.

It seemed to Laura she had spent most of the day in the shower
with Kelly, but she was enjoying every minute of it.  She loved
to lather Kelly's body up with the hand made natural soaps.  It
felt erotic and loving and when Kelly washed her, she was
positive her scent of arousal was noticeable.  God, she had been
in a state of arousal for most of the day and not including the
early morning release with Todd, had only climaxed once the
entire time.

Kelly gently pulled Laura's head down to lather her scalp once
again, and was surprised and thrilled to feel Laura's lips
around one of her nipples.  She had been horny all day as well
but hadn't had a single climax the entire day.  Her body ached
for one, yet she was hesitant to bring herself off in front of
Laura.  This time she didn't have the security and privacy of a
towel to hide it from Laura, but she needed it so badly that
when Laura switched from one excited nipple to the other, Kelly
gave in and pulled Laura's head close to her chest.

She felt Laura's hand slip between her legs and between the
glycerin soap and Laura's gentle touch, she could feel her heat
rising.

"Oh Baby," cooed Kelly, "Please don't stop.  I need it so bad."

Laura had no intention of stopping and continued to suckle on
Kelly's small breast, sucking in the hard nipple and gently
biting it as her hand stroked the soft fur between Kelly's
thighs.  With Kelly holding her head, Laura could hear her heart
beat increase in tempo and reluctantly let the nipple slip from
her mouth.

Spreading Kelly's legs a bit further she slid her own leg
between Kelly's and kissed her.  Their legs, locked like
scissors were only adding pressure to the hand in Kelly's
slippery folds and Kelly started to hump Laura's hand, moaning
into her open mouth, their tongues dancing softly against each
other until Kelly's body convulsed in a climax.  But it was not
enough for either girl and as Laura withdrew her hand they
locked legs tighter and slid and rubbed their hot cunts against
each other, their hands exploring the other's body.  They moaned
into their kiss as their hands groped and clasped what flesh
they could reach as they approached their orgasms.

Kelly's first orgasm at Laura's hands had only heightened her
excitement, Laura was still hot after her earlier orgasm, and
their passion peaked almost simultaneously.  They continued
softly kissing each other and gently holding each other until
both came down a little.

Laura looked over Kelly's shoulder, blushed and whispered, "It
must be contagious!  There's a couple doing the same as us
behind you."

Kelly giggled.  "You ought to see behind you!"

"Does this go on here all the time?"

"Not all the time sweetheart.  There are a lot of powerful
women in this club, and it's one of the few places they can let
their hair down and really be themselves."

"Maybe we caused this sudden outbreak," whispered Laura.

"Then we better hurry up and get out of here before the place
is packed with women in heat."

The girls quickly rinsed and used fresh towels to dry each
other, then indulged in a manicure while waiting for a slot with
the spa's professional hairdressers   Laura also had her
eyebrows tweezed by a professional for the first time in her
life - it stung a bit, but they used the same lotion to minimize
the pain.

The hairdresser did Kelly first, being familiar with her tastes
and style, an easy maintenance cut that did not require fancy
styling as Kelly preferred the wash and go convenience.  After
years of having to keep her hair in the styles of the day, Kelly
had been glad to switch to an easy maintenance layered look.
When she was in a hurry she didn't need a blow dryer or curling
iron.

For Laura, Kelly helped pick a style that would lend itself to
a variety of ways she could wear it, trimming very little off
the ends but shaping it to suit her face better.   As Laura was
being trimmed and styled, Kelly ordered supper for them.

It was getting on in the evening and more members were
arriving, many just for the camaraderie, a place to be with
other powerful women who shared similar ideals and lifestyles.
Others came for the relaxing pool and whirlpool to soothe the
stress of their daily routines while others came for the fitness
program offered by the club.  And of course there were also the
high profile women who met their lesbian lovers at the club. It
gave them a sense of freedom and security knowing the club
valued their privacy and maintained absolute discretion.

After dressing, Kelly and Laura sat down to a chilled shrimp
cocktail, followed by perfectly cooked steamed fish on a bed of
wild rice with fresh broccoli and a salad side.  They
accompanied their meal with a glass of excellent white wine

Kelly discreetly pointed out a few women seated at different
tables. "Those two ladies to your left have high profile careers
as well as husbands and children.  They're also lovers.  This
club gives them the security of knowing their secret
relationship will not leave these walls."

"And those two in the far corner, they not only have a regular
membership here but have a guest room they rent by the month."
Kelly laughed.  "Not every one wants to put on a display in the
showers."

Laura blushed.

They ate quietly exchanging small talk, neither of them
discussing what had happened earlier.  Light, delightful girl
talk about a variety of subjects, just like old friends.  For
desert they treated themselves to a bowl of ripe, pitted black
cherries set ablaze on a mound of French vanilla ice cream.

Laura reached across to grasp Kelly's hand.

"Thanks Kelly," said Laura.  She started to lightly stroke
Kelly's hand, her nails grazing Kelly's palm.  Kelly shivered
with the sensation.

"I hope this isn't just a one day thing," Laura continued.  "I
can't bear the thought of not having you in my life.  I'm really
sorry if I'm making things complicated for you Kelly, but you
bring out something in me that I've never felt before."

Kelly smiled softly at her young companion and took the hand
holding hers and raised it to her lips, kissing it gently.

"Laura, honey, I can't go on pretending.  I need you.  I love
you and I can't think of my life not having you."  Tears were
starting to well up in Kelly's eyes.  "But I won't hurt Todd
either so when we go back to the studio, I've got to tell him
how I feel about you."

Laura used her other hand to wipe the tears from Kelly's eyes.
"Finally!" she said with satisfaction.  "Then you'll see that
Todd knows how I feel about you."

As it was already ten, Kelly signaled for the bill and signed
it, adding a hefty tip for the staff.  The afternoon and evening
treatments and refreshments were already billed to her account.
As they walked to Laura's Honda, Laura mentioned the expensive
cars occupying the parking lot.

Kelly just laughed.  "I come here in my Hyundai, but it's 100%
mine. Don't be impressed by luxuries if you aren't sure they're
paid for.  Todd and I pay for everything.  It's too easy to get
trapped by a lot of little bills that add up and if one day you
can't pay them, it all goes away.  If you haven't paid for it,
its not yours."

The drive back to the studio gave Kelly time for another
cigarette. Laura parked out back and used her own key for the
first time to get into the studio.

Todd was nowhere to be seen, though muted sounds could be heard
from his apartment upstairs.  Laura dropped her parcels at the
foot of the stairs and grabbed a couple of bottles of mineral
water from the fridge.

Kelly sat quietly on the sofa she had crashed on the night they
had returned from Regan's and that Laura and Todd had first made
love on.  Laura opened a bottle for Kelly and handed it to her
before she went looking through the collection of CDs.

Picking one of her favorites, she put it in the machine and
then holding a finger to her lips, to Kelly's amusement she
opened the Victoria's Secrets bag and pulled out the silk boxers
and camisole.  Trying hard not to giggle, she did a quick strip
and changed, putting her clothes into the bag, and returned to
sit beside Kelly.

"Let's see how long it takes him to realize we're home."

Picking up the remote for the CD, Laura turned the unit on
quietly and skipped through the first few tracks until her very
favorite song came up and then cranked up the volume.

Deborah Harry's voice came blasting through the speakers.


     "One way or another, I'm gonna find ya'
     I'm gonna getcha, getcha, getcha, getcha
     One way or another, I'm gonna win ya'
     I'm gonna getcha, getcha, getcha, getcha
     One way or another, I'm gonna see ya'
     I'm gonna meetcha, meetcha, meetcha, meetcha
     One day, maybe next week
     I'm gonna meetcha..."


Laura leaned closer to Kelly as the song was playing.  "I've
loved this song ever since I saw the movie 'Coyote Ugly.'  It
turned me on to a whole new brand of music I'd never paid
attention to before."

"I know," said Kelly, "I think some of the best music recorded
was in the 70's and 80's.  Hey, how do you feel about country
music?"

"Country?" asked Laura.  "I was country when country wasn't
cool!"

"Barbara Mandrell," said Kelly.  "I'm impressed."

"Ah, don't be.  That's my dad's influence on me.  You can name
just about any good country artist and I can tell you what they
sing.  Actually, I like most music except for 'Rap' and that's
spelled C, R, A, P!"

Kelly was still laughing as Todd made his way down the stairs.

"There's the missing piece of the puzzle," said Laura standing
up to greet him.  "Hi honey, I'm home."

Todd kissed her than leaned away to get a better look at her.
Aside from the silk nothings she was wearing, she had a glow
about her.  Her nails had been done, her eyebrows and her hair,
and she felt soft as a baby.

"Well look at you," he finally said.  "You look fantastic.
That hair cut will work wonderfully for you."  Looking over at
Kelly he smiled and said, "And you look wonderful as always Kell."

"Actually, I hadn't planned on stopping here Todd, 'cause we've
got a flight to catch tomorrow, but there's something I need to
get off my chest."

Laura sat back down beside Kelly to hold her hand.  With her
other hand she turned down the volume on the stereo and noted
with irony that the CD had moved forward to "The Tide Is High."

Todd could see this was important so he sat down facing the two
girls. Kelly took a big gulp of water and started to talk with a
trembling voice.

"Todd, you know I love you and I wouldn't do anything in the
world to hurt you, but, I can't deny my feelings for Laura
anymore."  She started to cry.

"Hey now... there's no need for tears," said Todd as he quickly
moved over and parked himself on the arm of the sofa putting his
arms around Kelly.

Laura had known this wasn't going to be easy for Kelly, but
hadn't realized the depth of Kelly's anguish.  She turned,
kneeling on the couch and wrapped her arms around Kelly from the
other side gently kissing her friend all over the top of her head.

Kelly's sobbing quieted to gentle shallow gulps of air.  Todd
was stroking her back while Laura continued the gentle kissing
but moving down to plant some on Kelly's face and neck as well.
Kelly started to reciprocate.  Slowly and tentatively she gently
kissed Laura on the lips and then as Laura made a line of kisses
to Kelly's neck, Kelly nibbled gently on Laura's ear.  Todd
slipped his free arm around Laura encouraging her to continue.

Kelly was overwhelmed with emotions.  Her mind kept telling her
that she should stop this now but there was no denying her
growing arousal. Deciding to move things along, Laura deftly
unbuttoned Kelly's blouse. Before Kelly could protest, Laura
took Todd's hand and placed it on Kelly's exposed breast, which
he readily and easily slipped into the palm of his hand feeling
her nipple harden.  A small moan escaped from Kelly's mouth,
which Todd caught by pressing his lips to Kelly's.

Laura slid down and captured Kelly's other nipple in her mouth
and gently suckled on it feeling it stiffen and tighten with
desire.

Kelly wanted to say no, but Todd's mouth was on hers and it
just tasted too good.  As Laura shifted position again to loosen
Kelly's jeans, Kelly extracted herself from Todd's mouth to kiss
Laura deeply and soulfully at the same time grabbing Laura's
camisole from the bottom and lifting up.  They broke their
tender embrace long enough to the camisole off Laura and this
time it was Kelly who took Todd's hand and placed it on Laura's
breast.  As Kelly turned back toward Todd, who had come
downstairs shirtless, she latched her lips onto one of his
nipples.  Her inhibitions were not completely gone, but arousal
had replaced fear and she felt so physically and emotionally
charged now that she knew she would continue on towards an orgasm.

After more kissing and groping, the arousal level in the room
was noticeable in the heat the three of them generated.  The
room was humming with electricity.  Finally summoning up her the
last of her resolve, she managed to squirm her way out of the
three-way collision and stood up.

Todd had seen her nude on more than one occasion but that had
been work related, when shyness or modesty simply didn't cross
her mind.  The need and the love in his eyes fueled her desire.
Her need was great and she pulled Laura's boxers off leaving her
totally nude.  Next she yanked Todd's scrub pants off and for
only the second time saw his erect cock.  Then she slipped her
own jeans and panties off.  Todd reached for her and slid his
hands down her firm ass, but after the first pass Kelly pulled
free and motioned for Todd to scoot to the middle.

This was the first time that Kelly and Todd had ever looked at
each other in a sexual way.  Todd could smell the arousal of
both girls and his cock glistened with pre-cum.  He had never
been involved in a three way and wasn't sure what he should do.
Laura who had initiated this group grope was now also at a
loss.  Finally Kelly laughed.

"Well?" she asked as she perched herself on the coffee table,
"What do we do now and how do we do it?"

Laura reached over and started to slowly stroke Todd's cock.
"I'm not sure.  This is new to me.  I just know that I'm not
going to stop now."

Todd grinned sheepishly and said, "That goes for me too.  I'm
already too damn close to even try stopping now."

"Okay, let's try this" said Kelly taking charge.

"Todd, you move down and spread your legs so Laura can get
between them.  Laura, you can't leave Todd in that condition so
you do what you think is right and I'll just fit in where I can
find room."

Todd turned on the sofa spreading his legs and Laura got on her
knees and started to kiss his hard cock.  Kelly slid up behind
Laura and rubbed her small breasts on Laura's back as she bobbed
up and down on Todd's cock. With her hands free, Kelly started
to massage Laura's tits that were swinging, stopping every so
often to tweak her nipples.  Laura was moaning with pleasure so
Kelly let one of her hands slide down and glide into Laura's wet
cunt.  With Laura's butt against her belly, Kelly could feel
Laura tighten with anticipation and she could hear Todd moan
loudly.  She let the hand that had been squeezing Laura's tits
drop and slid it forward until she felt the base of Todd's cock,
wanting to participate in Todd's pleasure.  She lowered her hand
to cup his balls amazed at how tight they were and felt Laura's
jaw touching her hand on each down stroke.  Kelly gently kneaded
his balls and in a matter of seconds Todd cried out and fired a
volley of cum directly into Laura's eager mouth.  As Laura
lovingly milked Todd's cum, she felt herself peaking from
Kelly's ministrations, so she turned around quickly pulling
Kelly on top of her and kissed her.  Kelly managed to get her
hand back on Laura's steaming twat and realized as she was
kissing Laura that she was sharing Todd's cum and that his cock
was now bobbing just inches from her head.  She felt Laura's
hand find her clit and soon she was working her way to an orgasm
as well.  Todd, pinned under the two squirming, moaning girls,
watched in a haze, caressing them where ever he could find an
opening but was literally pinned by the two as they manually
brought each other closer and closer to orgasm.

Laura peaked first and muffled her scream of delight into
Kelly's mouth.  Seeing and feeling Laura cum was just the boost
Kelly needed to cross her own threshold of pleasure and she
climaxed seconds behind Laura humping her hand like a bitch in
heat.

The three of them were sated for the moment and with just a
touch of awkwardness they slowly untwined.

Kelly scrounged around for her purse and pulled out a
cigarette. Lighting it she said, "Well, I guess this sort of
changes things a bit doesn't it?"

Todd said, "Well, I guess it does a little bit at that."

Kelly walked over to the stereo and slipped out the Blondie CD
and slipped in another with a twinkle in her eye.  Moving it
ahead to the track she wanted she turned the volume up before
hitting play.

A distinctive bass track started thumping out of the speakers
as Shaggy started belting out "Angel."

Dancing her way back to the sofa, Kelly took Laura's hand to
dance with her.


     "...  Girl you're my friend when I'm in need,
     The feeling I have for you is so strong,
     This could never be wrong
     You must have been sent from up above,
     Thanks for giving me your love..."


As the two girls danced naked together Todd sat back getting
aroused all over again.

As the song ended Todd suggested they move to the bedroom
upstairs to continue, but Kelly said, "One step at a time okay
Todd?"

But both girls went over and started to kiss him and before
long Todd had two willing hands wrapped around his prick jerking
him off while they exchanged kisses all around.  His climax
happened too fast and jets of hot cum caught the two girls off
guard while they were kissing each other.  Streams of cum landed
on both of them from their chins to their breasts.  As they
laughed and licked his surprise off each other, Laura said,
"Turn about is fair play."

Taking her cue from Laura, Kelly landed on the other side of
Todd and both girls took his hands and placed them where they
would do the most good. It was an awkward position for Todd but
he gave it his best attempt, sliding a hand over each pubic
patch and searching with his fingers for clits. Finding both of
them he slid his middle finger back and forth over each until
the girls were moaning and he started to slide his dual fingers
farther and deeper slipping into the two vaginas and pulling out
copious amounts of fluid from both to help lubricate the action
on their clits.  The girls slid lower and lower on the sofa
giving him as much access as possible and soon Laura reached her
peak, closely followed by Kelly.

With a sigh, Kelly finally said she should head home, but both
Todd and Laura said that would be foolish.  After what they had
shared, the only logical course of action was for the three of
them to just go to bed together since both Todd and Kelly had to
leave early the next morning.

Seeing that arguing would get her nowhere, she picked up her
clothes as did the other two and they walked upstairs together
where they fell into bed with Todd in the middle.  It wasn't
long before all three were fast asleep.

~~~~~ // ~~~~~

Kelly was the first to wake up Wednesday morning and she slowly
extricated herself from the tangle of limbs.  Heading to the
bathroom she relieved herself and then stepped into the shower.

"Mind if I join you?"

Laura had woken up and found Kelly missing and heard the shower
running.  She wanted to make sure that Kelly had nothing but
positive feelings of the night before and decided the best
course of action would be to shower with Kelly which they had
done so many times the day before.  She was pleased to see Kelly
greet her with a big smile and an invite into the shower.  The
girls soaped each other up and rubbed their soap-covered bodies
against each other.

"God this feels delicious," Kelly said.

"Hmm. Don't I know it," replied Laura.  "I could do this all
day."

Kelly laughed.  "I thought we did that yesterday."

"Mm hmm," mumbled Laura, "but I really like the feel of your
body against mine."

"Yeah," said Kelly slightly blushing, "I know exactly what you
mean."

"Hey you two," said Todd who had stumbled half asleep into the
bathroom, "Leave some hot water for me."

Both girls laughed and rinsed off.

~~~~~ // ~~~~~

Todd thought it was strange to be alone in the shower this
morning when he had gone to sleep with two beautiful and naked
girls the night before.  But, the truth of the matter was that
the whole night had been strange.

Todd had always been attracted to Kelly and had loved her for
years without ever expressing his feelings.  With her background
he had avoided any sexual comments or even thoughts because she
was, as far as he was concerned, off limits.  Her relationships
were usually short lived and more often than not ended in
disaster, and it hurt him more than he could even admit to
himself to see her pain.

Since his departure from the fashion circuit and the world
travel it entailed, his bed partners had diminished in number.
Not that he slept with the models, God... he would prefer to
masturbate rather then go to bed with one of them, but the
makeup girls and fitters and hairdressers he met at every shoot
had kept him active enough.  Since settling in Charlotte, though
he had had a few one-night stands with the occasional girls he
did portraits for, though never with one who might become a
model for the agency.

He had been reluctant to take on Laura as a portrait since it
was set up by a former one night stand, but her friend had
convinced him to at least meet her at a local mall.  It was the
sadness in her that finally broke his resistance.  He recognized
the pain in her eyes - he had seen it too often in Kelly and
sometimes when he looked unprepared into the mirror.

Then he ended up breaking his own rule about not sleeping with
a potential model for the agency, and had fallen in love for the
first time in his life, or at least a different kind of love
from that he had for Kelly. Of course until the last few days,
he thought his love for Kelly would never be spoken of let alone
taken further.  It hadn't been truly consummated last night but
they had taken a giant leap forward and he was really happy to
see Kelly smiling this morning.

It had not been the three-way as so often depicted in erotic
literature or in magazines, but it had been pleasurable, and it
had been fun.  He thought back to Kelly's choice of music last
night.


     "You must be sent from up above,
     you appear to me so tender,
     Thanks for giving me your love."



Watching the two girls dance together he had heard those words
over and over and it lent credence to his belief that whoever
ruled the fates and destinies of life had to have played a role
in this.  They had been sent Laura, and she was the key to all
of the radical changes in their personal lives.  Granted, Kelly
had been different since their trip to Regans, but it was Laura
that had turned the tide for both of them.

"Todd, did you fall asleep in the shower?" he heard Laura ask.

Shaking the cobwebs out of his head, Todd finished washing and
climbed out of the shower.  He found the girls sitting at the
kitchen table, Kelly with her cigarette and pills and bottles of
'go-juice' all laid out.  Laura had a grapefruit in front of her
that she was eating without sugar, but rather peeled like an
orange.  Kelly was complimenting Laura on her good eating habits.

"Grapefruit will burn away fat faster than anything other than
exercise, but celery is the only negative calorie food in the
world."

"Huh?" said Laura.

"It takes more energy to eat celery than it provides, hence the
negative calorie label."

"Wow.  So you could make a meal out of it and you would
actually lose weight doing it."

"Yeah, technically I think that's right, but there's only so
much celery you can eat before you feel bloated."

"Then why did you give me celery seed to take away the bloating
I had the other day?" asked Laura.

"Ah, good point.  Celery seed is concentrated and a natural
diuretic. I take it every day, as you should too.  It helps
clean the blood and prevents fluid buildup.  I find it really
handy when I come close to my period."

"Why aren't you teaching this stuff Kell?"

"My, you certainly are full of good questions this morning
aren't you Sweetheart?  Well, the main reason is that most
people are leery of taking any natural products to solve common
ailments, and the medical profession makes people like me out to
be dangerous quacks, yet they prescribe chemicals that are not
natural to do the same things.  And above all, I will not be
treated as a joke.  I have a serious business with Todd and I
only share my secrets with those who have an open mind.  Aside
from Todd, you are the first person I have actually put on a
full regimen of supplements.  I've advised some of our models
about parts of it, especially the celery seed and cayenne, but
other than that, unless they ask about a specific problem, I let
them use their own good judgment."

Todd had been smiling through this entire conversation as he
ate a bowl of cereal.  "Okay Kell, now tell Laura how you
justify your smoking when you are such a health fanatic."

Kelly stuck her tongue out at him.

Laura was glad to see the playful banter between the two.  She
had been a bit concerned about how they would see each other in
the cold light of day but both seemed to be quite at ease with
what had happened.

Kelly turned to Laura and said, "I don't recommend smoking to
anyone Laura, but I'm sure you've seen the fashion shows on TV.
Professional models do it as much for something to do as a way
to stop stuffing their faces while waiting between shoots.  I'll
admit it.  I'm addicted, but I also stuff myself with
blueberries and grapes because they are full of anti-oxidants,
which everybody should do anyway, but I also have what's called
an O/C disorder.  A genetic gift from my parents," she added
with a wry smile, "the only lasting thing they ever gave me."

"O/C?"

"Obsessive Compulsive disorder," filled in Todd.

"Thankfully it makes me a dogmatic worker and smoking is my one
bad habit, unlike the biological couple that gave birth to me
who are hooked on crack."

"Okay, no dwelling on bad history," said Todd.  He picked up
his 'go-juice' and his dozen pills, "Here's to good health and
happiness."

"Here, here!" said Kelly and scooped up her pills and swallowed
them down in one gulp to be chased down by the 'go-juice.'

"Wow... you swallowed all those in one go," said Laura with
amazement.

"It's from practice and usually from being in a rush,"
responded Kelly.

Mimicking Kelly, Laura swallowed all the pills in one go as well.

"I'm impressed," said Kelly.

"Don't be," said Laura.  "I figured that if I could deep throat
Todd, this should be a breeze."

Kelly turned a quizzical eye to Todd who was blushing
furiously. "Really?"

Todd was busy looking at his pills and picking up a few at a
time ignoring the look.

Laura and Kelly both started laughing at the same time.

"You'd think that after last night nothing could embarrass him
now," said Kelly.

"I know," said Laura, "but you know Todd."

"Well, I used to think I did," laughed Kelly, "but these last
few days have certainly opened up my eyes."

Kelly took a couple of bananas and gave one to Laura.  "Got to
keep the electrolytes up in your body Babe."

As Laura munched her banana she watched with amusement as Kelly
attempted to insert the banana down her throat without gagging.

"Careful Kell," she said.  "Bananas can break.  A good cock can
only go soft."

Todd was getting another woody as the girls discussed this
topic that was near and dear to his heart and other parts
further south when they heard the studio door open.

"I guess we better get dressed and get to the airport," Kelly
said to Todd.  "I think I'll pick out a conservative suit from
downstairs, and get my briefcase loaded."  Turning to Laura she
said, "What are your plans for today?"

"I thought I'd hang around with Vanetta for a while and then
scoot over to the university and get started on my studies.
Maybe stop at some car lots and see what kind of car I'd like to
get."

Todd was quick to respond.  "Don't spend what you haven't
earned yet."

Laura laughed and said, "Don't you worry my sweet man.  Like
Kelly said to me, if you haven't paid for it, you don't own it.
And I am not looking for anything flashy, but I would like to
see what I could get for a reasonable price that will last me
for a few years, once I have the money."

Kelly smiled.  "Buy new sweetheart.  Then drive it till the
warranty runs out and trade for a new one again.  Now I have got
to get myself dressed business like.  I'll see you guys
downstairs."

~~~~~ // ~~~~~

Kelly came down the stairs dressed in one of Todd's T-shirts,
much to Vanetta's surprise.

"Good morning Vanetta," Kelly said as she went to one of the
storage rooms.  Vanetta managed to mumble a response.

Kelly spent enough nights at Todd's that she kept a small
cabinet containing clean panties and other personal garments as
well as a selection of shoes.  Those nights had been different
though.  She had either crashed on the couch downstairs or if
they had been watching a show together she would curl up on his
sofa upstairs.

Kelly chose a light raw silk jump suit in a conservative shade
of blue complete with pinstripes.  A wide belt cinched her waist
accenting her curves but the double breast pockets helped to
mostly conceal the fact that she was braless.

While Kelly was sorting through the brochures for their company
and the model contracts, Laura was busy upstairs packing her
purchases in dresser drawers Todd emptied for her.  Not that
Todd had much in them.  He was a man of simple tastes when it
came to clothes and had black socks, white socks and gray socks,
all in bags of 12.  A drawer of boxer shorts for when he needed
to wear them and that was it.  Scrubs, T-shirts and jeans made
up the balance of his wardrobe plus one suit still hanging in
its dry cleaning bag along with the matching tie.

Laura slipped on a pair of her new panties and a new bra and
threw another of Todd's T-shirts on and headed downstairs in her
new sandals.

Vanetta's eyebrows arched visibly as Laura walked by with a
cheerful, "Good morning."  She was too stunned to reply.

Laura chose a pair of designer jeans and a flowered peasant
blouse.  She joined Kelly at the studio make up table and with a
little help from Kelly managed the professional makeup
applicators and Kelly showed her how to use the big-barreled
curling iron.

Todd came bounding down the stairs whistling a happy tune
dressed in blue jeans and the inevitable Star Trek T-shirt, no
socks and a pair of hand stitched moccasins.  He said his good
morning to Vanetta and finally Vanetta stood up and said,
"Okay.  I've got a question and I think I have a right to know
the answer."

Silence descended on the room as everyone stopped what they
were doing and turned their attention to Vanetta.

"I just want to know," she said, pausing for dramatic effect,
"Just how many of these Star Trek T-shirts are hidden upstairs.
Haven't you got any Star Wars?"

The ice had been broken and everybody laughed.  Todd booed the
notion of Star Wars being in the same league while Laura and
Kelly just continued to laugh.  Vanetta smiled and turned back
to her work.  Just maybe the Obi Man was right.

Putting her papers and essentials into a very classy Gucci
shoulder portfolio, Kelly asked Vanetta to call them a cab.
Todd had nothing of importance to bring other than his
experience so he just stood looking casual and ready for what
ever might come his way.

Kelly glared at him.  All Todd had to do to ever get ready was
to throw on something comfortable.  His clothes reflected his
laid back casual attitude and aside from brushing his teeth and
shaving, he was always the epitome of wash and wear.

Goodbye kisses were exchanged as the taxi pulled up out front
and Todd and Kelly headed off to the small commuter airport.

As promised, Chris had a four seat Cessna fueled and waiting to
go. The Cessna 174 was the newest plane in Chris's fleet and the
smallest, ideal for short trips since it was economical and had
all the niceties of a larger corporate jet. Kelly explained to
the pilot where they were headed and he suggested landing at
Summerville, where they had a nice airstrip and there were
always cabs available.  The pilot would wait for them to return
and fly them back.

"You can avoid the traffic out of Charleston and be in Laural
Canyon about 20 minutes after we land," he told them.  As he
went to file the flight plan, Todd and Kelly stopped to chat
with Chris.

"How's it going stranger?" asked Kelly.

"Busier that a three legged dog trying to take a piss on the
wheel of a moving train," said Chris shaking his head.  "I
wanted to be successful in business, but not at the expense of
other people's lives.  Ever since September 11th, more and more
people are flying my 'Friendly Skies.'  I've had to hire on two
more pilots to keep up with the demand, and I'm taking a plane
out myself now nearly everyday."  He turned and spat on the
tarmac. "I tell you, if they ever catch sight of those sons a
bitches, I'll volunteer to fly combat again."

After a moment of remembrance, he turned to Todd.  "Now what's
this about wanting a pontoon plane?  You planning on doing some
in country fishing?"

Todd laughed and said no.  "Ever hear of Regan Boats?"

"Yep, heard of them, seen them, but I'm not really a boat guy."

Todd went on to explain they had done a shoot for Regan and
that because of the remote location and lack of major highways
it was a long five-hour drive to get there.  "But they have a
nice lake where they test their boats, and I was thinking it
would be easier on Kelly and me if we flew down."

"Can you show me on the map where this place is located?"

"I can show you where it's at on a road map if that's any
help.  I also called Chuck Regan for permission and he told me
to give you these GPS coordinates.  He also suggested a SSW
approach would be best."

They stepped into Chris' office and he pulled out a road map of
the location.  Navigation maps were fine for pilots, but to get
a civilian to try and read one was damn near impossible.

Todd followed the roads along with his finger until he came to
the location of the town where Regan's was.  "That's the place,
but I don't see the lake."

Chris checked the GPS numbers and compared them to the
navigation maps until he spotted the place the lake should have
been.  "Yep, it's a big enough area for a lake.  Since they gave
you permission and coordinates to land, it must be big enough.
I can get you in there without any problems. I've got an old
Cessna 170 I bought when I first started charter flights. It's a
clean little machine, but just a three seater."

"Thanks Chris," said Todd shaking his hand.  "I wasn't looking
forward to that drive just for an afternoon meeting."

"No problem, just let me know a couple of hours ahead of time
when you need it so I can prep her."

Their pilot came and told them he was ready whenever they were,
so saying goodbye to Chris, Todd and Kelly climbed into the back
seat of the Cessna.

Thirty minutes after takeoff, the pilot announced they were
coming into visual range of the Summersville airstrip.  As
promised, a taxi was at the field with the driver playing cards
with a few pilots.

Kelly gave him the address to the Prevan house and the driver
whistled between his teeth.  "That's a ritzy neighborhood," he
said.  "Most of the houses there either face the Ashley River or
back up onto it."

It was a pleasant 20-minute drive, and as they got out, the
cabbie handed them a card with his cell phone number.  "I'll
cruise around this area for a while, maybe get a bite to eat, so
if you want me to take you back to the plane, just call me."
Kelly tipped generously and in a low voice said, "Try to stay
within 10 minutes of this place.  I don't see any other cabs,
and I'd hate to have to call and wait for one."

The cabbie looked at the size of the tip. "You bet lady!"

As they walked towards the door they could see it open and a
woman come out to greet them.  "Miss Jennsen, Mr. Ayres?"

"Hello Mrs. Prevan," Kelly said.  "It's a pleasure to meet you
in person."

"Please, come inside, my husband will be home in just a few
minutes, can I get you a drink?  Coffee, tea?  Perhaps some
lemonade?"

"Lemonade sounds good to me," Kelly said with a smile.  Todd
said he would have the same.

Just as they got their drinks, Sherri's father arrived with his
son in tow.  "I'm telling you Samuel, 90% of the game is in the
putting.  I don't understand how you can drive a ball 250 yards
and then take five shots to sink a ten foot putt."  He noticed
Todd and Kelly for the first time.  "I'm sorry," he said, "I'm
trying to teach my son the finer points of golf.  I don't know
where Tiger's father found the patience to teach a three year
old."

Sammy looked at Todd, "Is it true you're gonna make my sister
into a model?" At Todd's nod he started to laugh.  "Are you sure
you've really met the dweeb?  Turn her sideways and she doesn't
even cast a shadow!"

"Samuel!  That will be quite enough out of you young man.  Take
your comments to your room."  Mrs. Prevan turned back and
apologized for her son's rude behavior.

Kelly started to shrug it off when Dr. Prevan interrupted.
"I'm sorry but I have to agree with my son.  Sherri is just 13,
and while her mother and I might think she is beautiful, I don't
see her as model material."

"Dr. Prevan," Kelly started.

"Just call me Ron."

"Okay then Ron, I was 12 when I started as a full time model,
and I didn't have the bone structure or the natural beauty that
Sherri has.  We now have over 200 models represented by our
agency, but Sherri will be our first runway model.  When Todd
and I started our business we sort of agreed that we would never
take on a top line model because of the problems that come with
inflated egos, but we've met Sherri and she's got a good head on
her shoulders and a strong support group.  She can make very
respectable money at this, more than enough to retire on within
a decade.  She will have the opportunity to travel, see the
world and have her choice of jobs."

"Our Sherri?" asked Mrs. Prevan.

Todd was scrutinizing Mrs. Prevan and she was becoming
uncomfortable under his gaze.  "Let me guess," he said.  "Your
mother, she's Native American.  I'd even venture that she's
Navajo from the Yuma tribe."

"My God!  How can you tell?"

Todd laughed.  "I'm sorry, I was just trying to see where
Sherri got her good looks from and now seeing you, I realize she
has Native blood in her which explains her skin tone and hair."

Ron was curious.  "How do you know it's her mother and not her
father?"

"In photography circles, we often say the way to tell what a
girl will look like when she grows older is to look to the
mother."

Mrs. Prevan, or Faye as she insisted on being called, blushed
with the compliment.

She turned to Kelly, "I know we haven't met but you seem
vaguely familiar."

"That's what I was thinking as well," said Ron.  "Wait... The
Swim Suit edition of..."

"Yep, that was me in 1995" said Kelly.

"I still have that issue in my study," said Ron.

"Todd's the one who took that photo," explained Kelly but
quickly added that Sherri would not be doing any shoots like
that.  "She's got the build for a top line runway model, much
better than I had."

"Were you on the cover of any magazines Kelly?" asked Faye.
"Do you mind if I call you Kelly?"

"Oh, please do," said Kelly.  "If you read any of the women's
magazines you've probably seen me in one ad or another and
possibly on a few covers."  Kelly opened up her portfolio and
showed some samples of Todd's work as well as some literature
and samples of their other models taken by studio photographers.

"If you and Ron are agreeable, Todd and I have decided we would
take her on and prepare her for her debut, but she would be
under our supervision alone, and Todd would be her only
photographer until she actually hits the circuit.  We don't
tolerate drugs or body decorations and we insist that all our
models work for a higher education and goals for themselves.
She won't attend any show without my direct supervision.  I
think she has a fine career ahead of her with opportunities that
most girls just dream about. Now it's up to you whether she
lives that dream and makes a nice salary for herself or if this
ends here."

"And you really think she has what it takes?" asked Faye.

"Ron, Faye, we flew in from Charlotte just to meet with you.
I've been in this business 14 years and Todd has photographed
nearly every big name model you can think of.  He has an
artistic eye that most companies would die to have on staff.  I
retired from the business by choice and Todd because he wanted
to pursue other avenues of his skills with a camera, but we both
could have retired for life on our savings.  It took a lot of
soul searching before we decided that Sherri was bright enough
and mature enough to be able to handle the life."

Ron had been looking through the letters from their bank
manager and the letter from Steve along with references from
major catalogs.  Finally he shrugged and said to Faye.  "If she
wants to do it... I won't stand in her way."

Faye lit up like a Christmas tree.  "Let's give her a chance
then honey.  At least she'll gain a world class learning
experience out of this."

Kelly pulled out the contract that Ron read over carefully
before signing and passing it to his wife to sign.  "Do you two
know anything about this group she's spending the summer with?
She was staying with her friend Amanda but now they seem to be
traveling quite a bit all over the place.  We got a call on
Monday inviting us out to Brookhaven for the weekend and a
chance to play Harbour Town."

"Harbour Town?" asked Todd.

"You don't play golf do you Todd?"

Todd laughed.  "No I don't Ron.  I'm just not coordinated
enough for the game.  All that hand and eye and posture stuff is
too much like geometry for me."

This started Ron Prevan on a lengthy discourse on the benefits
of the game.  Todd could not bring himself to call it a sport.
He listened attentively because the question of the James Gang
had been skillfully avoided.  He might look absorbed or pre-
occupied with his thoughts, but Todd had a mind like a steel
trap, was a member of Mensa, and very little escaped his lips
that he hadn't planned.

Kelly and Todd graciously declined Faye's invitation to dinner,
saying they had to get back for an advertising brochure they
were working on. Kelly called the cabbie and seven minutes later
they were bidding farewell to the Prevans.

On the ride back to the airport, Todd said, "That was almost
too close for comfort.  Do you think they have any idea of what
their daughter has been up to this summer?"

"I doubt it," said Kelly, "but that is also none of our
business."

~~~~~ // ~~~~~

After Todd and Kelly had left, Vanetta and Laura had gotten
into a good discussion about life.

It started when Vanetta went to make some tea and asked Laura
if she wanted a cup.  With the girls close to the same age, and
now going to the same school, it didn't take long for them to
strike up a friendly conversation.

"You've lived here all your life?" asked Vanetta.

"Yep, I haven't even been out of the Carolinas," Laura said.

"Not even to Florida to see the rat?"

Laura looked confused.

Vanetta laughed and explained about Disney.  "When my brother
and I first got here, that was his biggest wish, so Todd and
Kelly took us down."

"Vanetta, I don't understand," said Laura.  "Your mom talks
different than you do - your English is better than most of the
kids I went to school with."

Vanetta laughed.  "Oh, if I get excited I drop back into
patios, my brother is even worse, but mom insisted we learn to
speak English properly."

"How long have you been here Vanetta?"

"Four years this summer."

"Are you planning on staying after you finish your studies?"

"Absolutely.  Jamaica is great for the tourists, but if you
want to get ahead in life you do everything you can to get into
the US."

"I guess I really have to expand my boundaries," said Laura.
"I can name most places on any map, but they're just names to
me.  I know nothing about the culture or the history."

"That's one of my goals too.  I want to travel and see more of
the world.  Kelly took me to Canada once.  Now that's a strange
country to visit!"

"Really?  I always thought they were just Americans with a
different government."

Vanetta laughed again.  "You ought to hear how they talk.  And
all their road signs are in two languages and everything you buy
is printed in two languages.  It can get pretty confusing
especially when they talk about liters and kilometers or the
temperature.  Kelly told me to pack light but on the plane the
captain said it was a comfortable 32 degrees at the Toronto
airport and I was wishing I had brought a winter coat only to
find that their 32 is like 96 for us."

Vanetta was laughing hard now with the memories and said, "And
don't get me started on their weird money.  They don't have a
one-dollar bill but instead have a coin.  Now this one was
pretty easy to figure out.  It's got a picture of a bird called
a Loon on it so they call the one-dollar coins Loonies, but the
two-dollar coin has a Polar bear on it and they call it a
Toonie!  It sure gets heavy carrying around a bunch of change up
there."

Laura was laughing at the way Vanetta was relating her
experiences. "Maybe I'll get to see it one day."

"Don't you worry girl.  My mom went to see..." Damn she
thought.  She had let it slip.  Laura was looking at her to
finish her sentence.  "Okay, just don't get all spooked on me
okay Laura?"  She paused for a minute and continued.  "Mom went
to see this, uh, old Jamaican fortune teller after what happened
Sunday.  She didn't even mention your name but when she went to
see him he already knew your name.  He said something about you
being the missing piece of the puzzle and now that you are here,
you'll make both Todd and Kelly whole again."

Laura sipped slowly at her tea.  She couldn't dispute what
Vanetta had said since she herself had a gift for seeing or
understanding what went on in other peoples lives.

"I hope you don't think I'm crazy for telling you this," said
Vanetta.

"No.  No, not at all.  I get these - feelings - once in a while
so I know there is such a thing.  Call it second sight or
psychic, I believe some people can see more than others, but I
don't think I'm making either Todd or Kelly whole, I think they
did that for me."

The girls finished their tea quietly and then Laura headed off
to school.

~~~~~ // ~~~~~

"How do you feel?" asked Todd.

"Fine," said Kelly, "How about you?"

Todd smiled.  He knew Kelly was avoiding the subject on his
mind. They had been flying for 20 minutes, having asked the
pilot to detour over and circle the Eyrie.

Kelly was trying to hide the smirk on her face from Todd, but
finally relented because he was still her best friend in the
whole world.  She turned to face him.

"It was fun, and it was different Todd.  I don't know what you
were expecting, if it was everything you hoped it would be, but
I had a good time.  I've got to say I was a bit nervous at
first, but you were so cool about it, and you do have very
talented hands.  And a very tasty mouth!"

"No regrets?"

"Absolutely none.  You?"

"The only regret I will have," said Todd quite seriously, "is
if last night was the first and last time.  I think last night
was something different from anything I could have imagined."

"How so?"

"Well, we didn't go as far as we could have, but the experience
itself was so natural and relaxed.  I can't really describe it
in words cause I've never felt so alive and yet happy, and there
was no pressure or rush... you know what I mean?"

Kelly smiled.  "Yep, I do Batman.  I was thinking the same
thing.  It just kind of flowed.  There was a bit of awkwardness
in the beginning, but after that stage it just felt really
natural and loving.  I had a couple of good orgasms, and then we
just kind of moved on like it was a natural thing.  You know
that in all the times you and I have shared a room this was the
first time we actually slept together?"

"How did you feel about that?"

Kelly laughed.  "Strange.  You weren't rushing out of bed to
get back home to your wife or off to work... I liked it very
much."

Todd smiled.  "And I didn't have to feel guilty about cheating
on Laura either since she was in bed with us!"

Both of them laughed, causing the pilot to look back at them.

"So I take it last night wasn't just a one night fling?"

Kelly thought for a minute before answering.  "Nope, as long as
Laura is okay with it, and she seemed quite happy this morning,
I'd like this to be a part of my life.  Not an everyday thing,
but a regular thing."

~~~~~ // ~~~~~

As the plane taxied towards the hanger, Kelly and Todd were
planning Sherri's first in-studio photo shoot to set up her
portfolio.  They waited in Chris' office for a taxi to take them
back to the studio.

"That gym equipment is going to arrive soon," said Todd.  "Any
idea of how long before those two gymnasts can come down?"

"I'll have to check with JulieAnn, but I think she said
training camp was over this week.  How long will you need them
for?"

"You better plan on at least four weeks," said Todd, "but where
are we going to put them up?  I don't like the idea of leaving
them alone in a hotel every night, and at their age, I'm sure
their parents wouldn't be happy with that idea either."

"Hmm. Four weeks.  Well, you've got a spare bedroom..."

"Just what I need," said Todd.  "Two teenaged girls staying at
my place.  Uh, uh.  You better plan on making your spare bedroom
available!"

"Argh!  Why do I always end up being the babysitter?" wailed
Kelly.

"Cause you have such a mothering instinct," laughed Todd.

~~~~~ // ~~~~~

Except for a few phone calls, it had been a quiet day at the
studio and after Laura left, Vanetta had gone on line to the
University and downloaded her study assignments.  She was well
ahead of most of the students in her class because she made it a
habit to read ahead and download assignments before the
professors handed them out.  She was very serious about her
commitment to her mother and to Todd and Kelly.  With a 4 point
GPA two years running, she was used to having three texts open
in front of her and had spent most of the afternoon buried deep
in them.  She had eaten her lunch at her desk and was starting
to feel a bit hungry when she realized it was past 6.

It didn't matter to Vanetta.  She grabbed an apple out of the
fridge and a bottle of water.  She did so little at the studio
to earn the salary she was paid, that when Kelly had asked if
she could stay a bit later, Vanetta had been glad to.  She would
stay until they returned.  She had been on her own in the studio
for days at a time when Todd and Kelly had been out of town, but
what they didn't realize was on those occasions, she never went
home.  She would have her brother bring over a change of clothes
and she would shower in the studio washroom and sleep on the
sofa in the studio. Vanetta took the responsibility of the
safety and protection of TKO's property very seriously.

It was 6:30 when Vanetta heard the cab carrying Todd and Kelly
pulling up to the studio.  She went to the door and greeted them
with a smile.

"Was it a good trip?" she asked.

Kelly smiled at her.  "An excellent trip thanks."

Todd went to the fridge and pulled out a couple of bottles of
mineral water and asked if Vanetta wanted something.

"No thanks Todd.  I've just got some messages for Kelly and
then I'll be heading home if you don't need me for anything else
tonight."

"Can I give you a ride home?" asked Todd.  He always asked even
though the answer was always the same.

"No thanks Todd.  It's just a short walk.  I need it after
sitting all day," she laughed.

Vanetta turned to Kelly and said, "Most of the calls were
routine. You'll find them on your desk.  A couple of companies
called asking for information.  Those that I could verify as
being legit, I sent out the regular brochures.  Those that
claimed to be new and needing special attention I wrote the
names and particulars down and left them on your desk.  Actually
the only call of importance had to do with the note you left for
me about two new models."

Kelly's ears perked up.

"A Ms. Nicole Petitcoeur called regarding model contracts she
would obtain for Cara and Ami.  She also said the other forms
were notarized and in the mail.  She said you would understand."

"Yes I do!" said Kelly.  "Thanks Vanetta, that's the news I was
waiting for.  Now Todd can hide in the darkroom for a few days.
Those are the last model releases and contracts for the Regan
shoot."

"Did I hear that right?" asked Todd, handing Kelly her bottled
water. "We're all set now to start printing the Regan photos?"

"Yep!"

"Great!"

Kelly thanked Vanetta again for staying so late. Vanetta packed
up her books, cleared her desk and with a wave and a "see you
tomorrow" left Todd and Kelly alone in the studio.

"I'd suggest you start tomorrow on the Regan film, but I know
you, so what would you like to eat before you disappear into the
darkroom?"

Todd laughed.  "Why don't you surprise me?  I'll get changed
and throw the film in the soup and I'll be ready to eat in an
hour if you don't mind sticking around that long."

Kelly kissed him, then smacked him on the ass and told him to
get moving.

~~~~~ // ~~~~~

Laura had gone directly to the university after leaving the
studio. She had managed to sit in on a few lectures and attend a
discussion class and a study group which gave her a good idea of
how far behind she was and which areas she would need to get to
work on immediately if she wanted to get caught up.

After school, she had stopped by her family's home and spent a
bit of time with her parents before heading back to the studio.
The oldest of the William's daughters still living at home was
shocked by the change in her older sister's appearance.  They
had a girl to girl private talk and Laura had promised her that
if she helped their mother out a bit more, she could have the
entire bedroom by the time school started, and if she maintained
an A average the entire year, she could have Laura's Honda.

Her younger sister wanted to know why Laura was being so
generous.

"Listen sis, you know I screwed up royally last year.  I lost
nearly everything I had worked for, but mom and dad stood by
me.  I got lucky and was given a second chance, but it means I
won't be here much anymore, and mom needs all the help she can
get.  Second chances are like winning the lottery.  They don't
happen often and almost never to anybody we know.  I'm just
trying to give you a bit of incentive to not make the same
mistakes I made.  Don't let anybody take your dreams away, okay?"

"Deal!" said her sister with enthusiasm.

It was after seven when Laura walked into the studio.  She gave
Kelly a big kiss and looked around for Todd.

"He's in the darkroom," explained Kelly.  "We finally got the
model release forms and contracts taken care of for that big ad
campaign Todd shot last week.  He's working with slide film, so
he's going to be pretty pre-occupied, but he should be out in
about an hour to eat.  I'm fixing him something right now, are
you hungry?"

"Not really," said Laura.  "I had a late lunch.  How did your
trip go?"

"It was good.  We found someone who could possibly be one of
the top super models by the end of the decade when we were at
that boat shoot. She's only 13, but she's got all the makings.
We had to get her parents consent before we could start booking
her, but I'll bet that before another year has passed she'll be
a cover model on most of the teen magazines."

"Wow," said Laura.  "Lucky kid that you found her instead of
somebody that would just use her and toss her away."

Kelly smiled at Laura.  She had really paid attention when
Kelly had told her about her introduction to pro modeling.  "I'm
just going to fry up a few skinned chicken breasts for Todd and
a couple of baked potatoes.  If I know Todd, he's going to want
his protein.  What are your plans for the evening."

"Gee, I hadn't really given it much thought.  I guess I better
get used to the idea that Todd will be busy at times."  Without
thinking about it, Laura started to help Kelly prepare a heaping
plate of healthy food for Todd.

"So, how was school today?" Kelly asked.

"It was good.  I figure I'll be caught up and up to speed in
about two weeks if I put some extra time in.  The schedule's a
lot looser than high school was."

"Yeah, they have to make allowances for the kids who work and
they expect you to want to learn and study on your own.  Those
that get in because they have rich parents usually waste their
time.  That's why off campus learning is the fastest way to go.
You don't have to wait for the rest of the class, you can go at
your own speed."

"But I did find out today that I need to learn basic Latin,"
said Laura.

"Really?"

"Yep.  And do you know the first thing I learned is what we did
last night?"

 Kelly looked at Laura with suspicious eyes.

"Really!  It's called a 'massage et trios,'" said Laura.

"Laura Williams.  That's French, not Latin, and it's called
'Ménage et Trios.'"

"Uh, uh," said Laura.  "Its massage cause all we did was rub
each other!"

Kelly started laughing out loud.  Reaching for a cucumber, she
threatened Laura.  "I'll show you how to 'Massage' you!"

Laura laughed and ran around the counter.  "Wouldn't work
anyway," she said.  "It's too small!"

Both girls laughed at that and finished preparing Todd's supper.

"Have you eaten yet Kell?"

"No, I like to wait a while after flying before I eat.  It
gives my stomach a chance to settle down a bit."

"Are you up for some company tonight?" Laura asked with a
twinkle in her eye.  "I'm sure I can give you something to eat
that won't bother your stomach."

Kelly smiled.  "I'd like that."

Todd fumbled his way out of the darkroom just after 8.  After
giving Laura a deep soulful kiss he said to Kelly, "Well,
they're drying, so I can't be sure, but from initial
appearances, they look like they came out well.  I won't know
for sure until I make contacts and then start running prints."

Turning back to Laura he said, "Sorry babe, but now that I know
I can go ahead and print, I can't stop myself."

"So who's the obsessive one now?" smirked Kelly.

"Careful Earthling or I'll put my Vulcan nerve pinch on you!"

Laura and Kelly both laughed at him.  Todd shrugged and sat
down to eat.  Between bites he asked Laura if she could amuse
herself because he was going to be busy for some time.

"That's okay Todd, I've already heard about your work habits.
I'm going home with Kelly tonight.  She hasn't eaten yet because
of her stomach and I had a late lunch so we'll probably eat out
tonight."

Kelly had to stifle a laugh, but the double meaning had slipped
by Todd.  His mind was on printing.   Laura winked at Kelly.

As he ate, Laura repeated her joke about the Latin she had
learned.

Finally, Todd finished his meal and giving both girls big
goodnight kisses headed back to the darkroom.

~~~~~ // ~~~~~

As it was getting dark, Laura drove them back to Kelly's,
stopping just once along the way to pick up fresh black
raspberries and a quart of Black Forest frozen yogurt.

"Not exactly a substantial meal," remarked Kelly, "but healthy."

"I quite agree," said Laura.  "I'm sure I'll be hungry again
within an hour."

They sat at the kitchen table and ate the desert before the
main course.

"Well," said Laura, "I know that I would love to get out of
these clothes and take a shower."

Kelly found herself trembling with sexual anticipation.
Clearing up the dishes and closing down the house for the night,
the two girls headed for the shower, not even bothering with the
bath.  Like they had done so often the day before, the girls
soaped each other in from head to toe.  Laura paid particular
attention to Kelly's vagina bringing her to the edge of a climax
many times until Kelly was whimpering.

"Not yet dear," whispered Laura.  "I need to 'massage' you
first. Then maybe I'll 'Ménage' you!"

The sexual tension was building.  They helped dry each other
off, and naked, padded off to the bedroom.

Laura insisted Kelly lay down flat on her stomach and then
straddled Kelly's ass, lightly rubbing her own pussy hair
against the firm cheeks then spread Kelly's arms out to the
sides and started to slowly massage her neck and shoulders,
feeling Kelly going limp under her careful ministrations.  When
Kelly sighed softly, Laura changed her tactics and started to
run her fingers ever so gently over Kelly's arms and back and
down her sides, alternating her soft finger strokes with light
nail scratching over the exposed skin.

Kelly gripped the sides of the bed and stifled a moan as Laura
moved down and firmly kneaded her ass before stroking her legs
down to her toes.

Kelly was panting now.  With a light slap to Kelly's backside,
Laura told her to turn over.  Kelly did as she was instructed,
her very erect nipples betraying her excitement.

Laura repeated the same procedure of intermixing gentle finger
pad strokes with light scratching all over Kelly's arms,
breasts, stomach and legs.  Every time Laura ran her fingernails
over Kelly's abdomen, it twitched in reply to the stimulation.
Kelly's eyes were closed but she felt Laura gently tweak her
nipples between her fingernails and then slide slowly and
provocatively towards her very wet pussy.

Laura traced around the pubic patch especially playing on the
soft tender flesh on the inside of Kelly's thighs, but avoided
touching her vaginal lips or protruding clit.  Then Laura leaned
forward and kissed Kelly, gently at first then with gradually
increasing depth and passion.  Suddenly, she pulled away to peck
Kelly's lips and leaving her gasping as she kissed the sweet
hollow of her neck before sliding down to suckle on her
nipples.  Laura was in no hurry and wanted this to be as good
for Kelly as possible.  Only a woman in tune with her own
sexuality could understand what another woman desired.

Laura blazed a trail of kisses down from Kelly's breasts to her
navel where she spent considerable time twirling her tongue
before moving down further, but again avoiding her swollen
lips.  In a change of pace, Laura moved further down the bed and
began sucking on Kelly's toes, one at a time as if she was
giving each one a blowjob in turn.  She licked and kissed the
soles of Kelly's feet before moving up nibbling and kissing
Kelly's calves and working her way to the delicious tender thighs.

Kelly was in such a state of arousal that her nectar was
flowing freely out of her engorged vagina which was now fully
flowered in anticipation.

"Please Laura, no more..."

Laura recognized the urgency in Kelly's voice and seeing her
friend's ass bouncing on the bed decided she had taken Kelly as
high as she could go before the sensation became too much to
bear and she lost the arousal.

Slipping between Kelly's legs, Laura placed a light tentative
kiss on her blood-engorged clit, which sent Kelly into spasms.
Slipping her tongue into the hot crease, Laura slowly scooped up
a full load of the essence streaming out of Kelly and used this
as lubricant to make the flat of her tongue slide easier over
the extended clit.  She heard the sharp intake of breath from
Kelly and not hearing it released, knew that Kelly was on the
very edge of her climax.  Softly forming her lips into a mini
vacuum, she sucked on Kelly's clit until Kelly screamed out in
ecstasy as the first orgasm overtook her.  Kelly's knees came up
to her chest as she thrashed around the bed, her nails digging
into the mattress, but Laura did not release her strangle hold
on Kelly's clit.  Softly she continued to suck on it while
slipping a finger into her hot and steamy gash pressing upward
on Kelly's G-spot.  Another mind-boggling orgasm overtook Kelly
who was moaning now, but still Laura wasn't finished.  Releasing
her tight grip on Kelly's clit, Laura blew soft gentle puffs of
air on it making it twitch in response before dipping her head
down to tongue fuck her friend, gently removing her slippery
finger and inserting it with a twist into her anus.  Within
seconds, Kelly crashed into a third orgasm.  Slowly moving her
ass fucking finger back and forth, Laura slipped her tongue back
up to Kelly's clit and with her free hand tweaked Kelly's
nipples until finally Kelly pushed Laura away, begging her to
stop.  Tears of joy and pleasure were flowing from Kelly's eyes
as she pulled Laura up next to her and rained kisses all over
her face, tasting her own juices at the same time.  Laura
cuddled Kelly and eventually her breathing quieted to gentle
snores.  Laura smiled and closed her eyes.

~~~~~ // ~~~~~

Kelly slept for just under an hour, cradled by Laura's loving
arms the entire time.  She awoke with a sheepish grin, memories
flooding her mind.  She kissed Laura whispering, "What did I do
to deserve you?"

After a long time just kissing, Kelly pressed Laura on to her
back.  She loved the feel of Laura's bigger boobs.  Pulling a
bottle of whipped and flavored body cream from the drawer of her
nightstand, she put generous amounts on both of Laura's
breasts.  Kelly massaged those lovely mammary glands till
Laura's nipples were all puckered and standing erect.  Then
Kelly licked and nibbled on Laura's breasts with an unexpected
hunger. Laura who had always believed there was a direct nerve
cluster that ran from her boobs to her clit was panting, the
scent of her arousal in the air. She was hot and horny and with
a bit of coaxing managed to convey to Kelly she was more than
ready to reach the pinnacle herself.

Kelly traced a line of kisses down from Laura's breasts right
to the top of the V of her freshly nude labia.  The cayenne was
already working in Laura's system; her outer lips were engorged
and puffy, her clit extended like a small penis.  Without
wasting any time, knowing her friend desired her own climax,
Kelly spread Laura's legs and raised her knees, looking nearly
straight down into Laura's tunnel of love.

Kelly kissed the swollen lips and tasted the juices.  Licking
slowly at first, Kelly covered Laura's cunt lips with wet sloppy
kisses trailing her tongue over and in between the separate
folds.  Curling two fingers, Kelly inserted them searching for
that soft spongy area she knew was the 'G-spot' and started to
slowly stroke that area from the inside as her lips and tongue
focused on the outside.  Soon the sensations became overwhelming
to Laura and she was trying to force her cunt into Kelly's
face.  Kelly was more than happy to oblige and using her teeth
lightly nibbled at the engorged clit.  It took but minutes
before Laura climaxed with a burst of female ejaculate that
sprayed all over Kelly's face and chest.  Caught by surprise
Kelly backed off for a moment watching the spray as it burst out
of Laura, but then quickly latched on to her clit again this
time sucking it like she would a cock, bobbing her head up and
down using just her lips. Laura's second orgasm was as intense
as the first and she could feel herself building up to yet
another.  Kelly had switched from sucking to rubbing her face
all over the hot juicy cunt slathering long sloppy strokes the
entire length of Laura's slit, rubbing her clit with her nose as
her tongue probed the deep recesses.  As she felt Laura
approaching yet another climax she stuck her tongue into Laura's
ass while shaking her head to make her nose into a makeshift
dildo to stimulate Laura's clit until she was over the edge with
a scream.  Then Laura collapsed.  Unconscious.

Kelly held her and stroked her softly and gently for 20 minutes
before Laura came around.  The room smelled of sex.

"I love you Kelly."

"I love you Laura."

They laid side by side softly stroking and caressing each other.

"God, I love your boobs," said Kelly.

"They're yours.  Do with them as you wish," laughed Laura.

"But how will you get along without them?" asked Kelly.  "But
seriously, I would play with them all day long."

"Well, I happen to adore yours," said Laura, slowly tracing
circles with her nail around a nipple.

The covers were pretty well off the bed and the two girls were
nicely intertwined and sleepy.

"Still hungry?" asked Kelly.

"Mmm, I could definitely be tempted to go for seconds," said
Laura.

"Me too," said Kelly, "You taste better than anything I have
ever eaten."



To be continued.
