CHAPTER 71
They woke up tangled in each others arms,their bodies fitting perfectly into each other. There wasn't any need to question if really they were supposed to be together. Their unstrained harmony and not even struggling said it all. Dylan was the first one to open her eyes. She looked at Carly sleeping for a few seconds and smiled in contentment. Her face seemed bright and her lips twitched as if she wanted to laugh or smile. She kissed her forehead and Carly opened her eyes. She looked at her and smiled.
"Hey."
"Hey."
"How long have you been watching me sleep?"
"Not long,I just woke up. You look beautiful and seemed so peaceful."
"That's because I'm with you,right here." That statement clicked in their heads and they remembered what they had been doing before all this. For more than an hour,they had forgotten that they hadn't been the only ones in the compound. "Oh my God! We slept and left everyone outside."
Dylan laughed then said teasingly, "And we made love in case you are forgetting."
Carly kissed her full on the mouth,"I can never forget that baby." She was surprised by the sudden endearment but happy. It felt good to have someone who loved her,someone she loved deeply call her that. Her smile widened before she leaned in and deepened the kiss.
"How comes no one interrupted us? Or did they all leave?"
"I have no idea. It kinda feels like we are sneaking around like we used to." They both laughed.
"Well,I think we are since no one seems to have noticed us leaving."
"I'm not so sure. I saw my brother eyeing me out of the corner of my eye. At first I didn't know if it was a cry for help to rescue him from his newest buddy,Kenny or if he was just curious about my business."
Dylan chuckled. Lately Carl had started opening up to Kenny because well,how could one resist such a kind hearted,jovial and charmingly sweet guy. Even the most stubborn people were likely to give in in the end. Kenny had something about him which made him so easily likeable. In some cases,black gay guys found it hard to live like that amongst people, especially white people but that was not Kenny. Those two things seemed to enhance his positivity and well,his talking just made it hard to resist him. Even Carl who didn't make friends that easily wasn't exempted. There was one thing though about him that Dylan had noticed changed over the course of the days. Was he beginning to give Kenny more attention than just the friendship?
"Speaking of your brother, do you think something is going on between him and Kenny? I'm kinda getting those vibes lately."
Carly laughed, "My brother?" She nodded in response. "That would be a first."
"And a really interesting first," she agreed. Peaceful silence took over for the next few minutes and Dylan almost thought that Carly had fallen asleep again but her breathing stated otherwise. An idea came into her head and without looking at her,she said,"Hey,let's go somewhere. Just us away from everyone."
"Right now?"
"No,right now I want us to remain right where we are even though unfortunately we have to go back outside to the others. After all,we are their hosts."
"Okay,when and what do you have in mind?"
"Every day of our lives if possible and we can do anything we want."
"Becoming sneaky,are we?" Carly grinned. "As long as I won't be arrested."
Dylan frowned in pretense, "Not even if I do it?"
"Oh,you can do it as many times as you want. Lock me if need be," she paused and gave her an exaggerated wink,"In bed."
"My God,what did they teach you in Australia?" she asked with a grin even though it took all her will power not to take her again, right there and then. She was loving this. She saw Carly smile then clear her throat preparing to say something. Whatever it was seemed interesting.
"Nothing detective. I am not a bad girl but your eyes and lips are so sexy. I want them locked on mine forever," Carly replied with the most fake and exaggerated Australian accent which made even Dylan laugh. "You should hear my friend Carol talking. It's so interesting. Unfortunately out of the seven years I lived there I could only master a few words," she added with her normal voice laughing heartily. She locked her eyes on hers and Carly immediately stopped laughing, a smile remaining on her lips and the tiny dimple she had always loved showing on her cheek. She touched her face and ran her fingertips along the skin. Carly closed her eyes enjoying the soft touch. She kissed her lightly.
"I love you Lee."
Carly opened her eyes,"I know you do. And I love you too." Then, "Kiss me more."
Dylan obeyed and at first she met her lips in a teasing kiss. The softness of the lips,the fresh smell of her breath and Carly's submissiveness all made her crave to taste her more. She claimed her lips,her tongue searching inside her mouth until she felt the warm velvety softness of Carly's own tongue. That was enough to send her body jumping back to life. Aroused heat waves washing over her most sensitive spots.
"Touch me," she said into Carly's ear. That was a first. Being this close to her was making her do or say things she had never said before. To Carly, that was exhilarating and very arousing. Well,their timing turned out to be not so great because someone knocked at the door then a voice.
"Sorry to cut the honeymoon short but you two are needed outside." It was Carl. They both groaned into the pillows as they pulled apart.
"We need to set some boundaries or take a vacation," Carly announced immediately after they heard his footsteps retreating.
"Oh yes,we so do," Dylan agreed,sexual frustration written all over her face. They got out of bed and dressed up before leaving the room. "Let's go finish with them first. We'll have the night to ourselves. You are not going home, are you?"
"No,I want to stay here with you. Let's just hope you won't get called in to work."
"I had the day off,I don't think they will."
"Good."
