(Part 1...in progress)
Heather turned her yellow VW Beetle onto a narrow country lane as the last rays of a New England sunset washed across the forest surrounding her. The colors faded quickly as the sun sank into the horizon behind her. She wished that the fiery mix of emotions burning within her would fade away as easily. The picture of her boyfriend, Jeff, swinging from the rear view mirror, caught her eye and the all too familiar feelings of desire and anger threatened to overwhelm her again. "Asshole," she fired at his photo as she flipped him off. She gently stroked the photo with the fingers of her right hand and sighed. "A fucking cute asshole, though." Heather shook her head, thinking about their life together.
She had met Jeff at a Sunday afternoon football party at the home of a mutual friend. It may not have been love at first sight, but the attraction between them was incredibly strong. Time spent laughing and teasing that afternoon had, with the help of a few shared beers, ended up in an enthusiastic lovemaking session in their host's bathroom. Heather lightly brushed her fingers across her thighs as she remembered how Jeff's large cock had felt as he'd slipped into her from behind, bent over the edge of the bath tub, her d-cup breasts pressed against the cold white porcelain. "Damn," she whispered. Jeff was good at doggy-style. Her fingers slipped up under her skirt and she felt moisture starting to soak through her thong. That bathroom episode had resulted in her moving in with Jeff that next weekend and marked the beginning of a stormy relationship. She and Jeff fought as passionately as they made love. Fighting often ended up in incredible, almost violent fuckfests. Sometimes fucking triggered a fight. Heather shook her head. "What a fucked up confusing mess," she groaned.
The whole messy relationship was what brought her up into the woods of New England. Heather was going to spend the weekend at Jeff's aunt Carol's cottage. She'd met Carol at lunch with Jeff in New York early on in their relationship. Heather had mentioned how "fiery" things were between she and Jeff. Carol had smiled knowingly. As they said goodbye, she'd leaned close to Heather and slipped a folded note into her hand. The note contained an open invitation to visit her any time Heather wanted to get away from it all. Heather had stumbled across the note in her purse and had given Carol a call. Carol stopped her car in the driveway of a two-story white cottage and switched off the ignition. The windows in the home glowed invitingly as the first stars began to twinkle in the night sky overhead. Heather smiled, she was going to enjoy being with Carol and getting away from it all.
Heather stepped out of her car just as the front door opened and Carol rushed out to sweep Heather up in her arms. "Oh, I'm so glad you're here, sweetheart," Carol said in her whispery, slightly southern accent. "I've got a whole girly girl weekend planned. Tea times, long walks in the woods, a trip to a day spa and, well, just tons of stuff." She stood back and smiled admiringly at Heather. "Damn, girl. Look at how cute you look."
Heather blushed. The soft sent of Carol's perfume lingered in the air between them. "I don't hear that often enough. You know, Jeff isn't, well..."
"Jeff," Carol scolded playfully, "is a major league fucking asshole and you, little lady," Carol said as she patted Heather's cheek, "are not to think or speak of him for a full 24 hours. It's just you and me and fun now. Got it?"
"Got it, ma'am," Heather giggled. "Loud and clear."
The two women gathered Heather's bags from the VW trunk and moved them inside the house. Heather used Carol's restroom while Carol put her luggage upstairs. A few minutes later, both women were settled down in Carol's breakfast nook with a light supper of soup and salad and tall glasses of wine. The laughed and talked together for an hour or more about their lives and careers. Heather worked in an advertising agency as a receptionist. Carol freelanced as a costume designer for Hollywood film companies.
The wine and the conversation relaxed Heather more than she had in months. She found Carol to be an irresistible companion. Easy to talk to, smart, sexy and had a wickedly playful sense of humor. As they laughed together, Heather suddenly felt dizzy and put her hand to her forehead. "Wow," she said, "too much wine and too little sleep."
"Poor thing," Carol said as she slipper her arm around Heather. "Let's get you upstairs where you can freshen up while I take care of these dishes. We can snuggle up and watch a movie later. Sound good?"
"Absolutely," Heather sighed. "Thank you for this, Carol. I don't know how to tell you what this means to me, to be able to get away and think."
