AUTHOR'S NOTE: I know I wrote "Blooming Rose" a while ago and ended it on a note that I at the time felt gave the story closure. However, some readers felt it needed a little more, and I came to agree with them. While Chapter 3 may have made it clear that Rose and June were able to resolve their issues, or at least were about to, I have to remember that at the end of the day, this was an erotic story and it needs to have an erotic end. So here's the fourth and what presume will be the
real
final chapter of the story, where we get to see Rose and June settle their rift the only way Zenrists can: through lesbian lovemaking.
"Miss Connors! Miss Connors!" Rose cried, nearly crashing into the naked woman's large and illustrious orbs as she rushed towards her.
"Yes, my little blossom?" Carol said, beaming happily and wrapping her arms around the bespectacled intern's bare body. Yes, Rose had come to the office naked, wearing a long coat only for the bus ride there. Whether she liked it or not, she was too deep in the Zenrist rabbit hole and if she wanted to avoid getting fired or arrested, she had to keep her cover story up. Though it really couldn't be called a cover story anymore. "And once again, please call me Carol. You and I have made love. We're practically married. In fact, we're officially engaged. So don't feel like you need to treat me like a stranger."
The intern blushed. "Uh, right. I'm sorry Miss--I'm sorry Carol."
"That's better," said Carol before she gave Rose a gentle peck on the lips, reddening her blush even more. "Now then, what was it you wanted to tell me?"
"I...did what you asked. I called June."
"And?"
"I...we...I think we buried the hatchet."
"That's wonderful!"
"Yes," said Rose, looking away in embarrassment at the older woman's exuberance. "But..."
"So what is the problem?"
"She...she wants to come over to my place this weekend. So we can settle things person to person." Rose bit her lip as she looked back at Carol with large, pleading eyes. "What do I do, Miss--Carol? What do I do?"
The nudist raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean what do you do? Just let her in."
"But...but what if she...wants to have...what if she wants to make love to me?" stammered Rose, finally pulling away from the Zenrist and twiddling her shaking fingers together.
"Do you still have reservations about this kind of relationship?"
"I...I don't know," said Rose. "I mean, it's weird, but...I'm willing to try it with her. That's not what's bothering me. It's...Carol, what if I screw up?"
"What do you mean screw up?"
"What if I'm no good in bed for June? What if I can't...please her? What if I'm the worst girl she's ever been with? This is my one chance to make things right, and if I mess it up, then June and I will never--"
"Sweetie, sweetie," Carol said, stepping closer to Rose and pulling the younger girl's form back into her own while running a hand gently through her hair. "You won't mess it up. You
can't
mess it up. Even if you have no idea how to pleasure another woman, you can still provide her with bliss just by laying back and letting her control everything. You were a virgin when I took you, didn't know your way around a Venusian mound, and I yet found the experience quite...exhilarating!" Carol shivered all over, the memory of her and Rose's intimate union at the restaurant replaying itself through her mind. Seeing her entire naked body quiver sparked a feeling of warmth in Rose's core.
"But after yesterday," Carol continued, pulling Rose more tightly into her body, the nubs of her rock-hard nipples poking in sharp contrast against the intern's soft mammary flesh, "you ceased being an inexperienced little girl. You've since become a sexually-awakened young woman. And you're beginning your transformation into a Lover of Zenriah, the pinnacle of womanhood. I think you'll be able to show your dear Aunt June a thing or two." She pulled away from the bespectacled intern and gave her crotch a graceful and sensual caress, taking care to run her middle finger down the length of her slit. Rose felt a tingle from within her own slit as she watched the gesture, and bit her lip when a droplet of fluid started to crawl out of it, just in time for her to catch the bead of moisture shimmering from the tip of the Zenrist priestess' digit.
"But more than anything else," said Carol, taking a moment to suck her wet finger dry, "June will sense your pure-hearted intentions as you make love to her, and whatever wrongs she feels you committed against her will be forgiven. For lesbian lovemaking is a language that has no room for lies and trickery. Everything you tell her in our ancient tongue will come straight from the heart and be worded in such a way that she will not be able to refuse you. So have some faith, Rose. Because I have faith in you. And so does the Goddess."
"You think...I can really do it?" said Rose, her misty eyes staring directly into Carol's with almost childlike innocence.
Carol leaned down to kiss her young lover gently on the lips. "I know you can do it, Rose. You can do anything. But if you still feel unsure, then fear not. Because for the rest of the week, I'll be providing you with all the practice you'll need. As both an experienced lesbian lover and a priestess, I'm the best teacher in the art of Sapphica you will find in this city." Taking the intern's hand, she walked her over to a nearby chair where she sat down and splayed her legs as wide as possible. Carol's lower lips peeled apart, and Rose once again found herself treated to the wondrous view of the older woman's rippling, pink cavern, where honey-scented musk wafted without and endless pleasure awaited within. "So before the work day begins, would you mind giving your fiancΓ© another tongue bath?"
"No, Miss Connors," Rose exhaled, grinning excitedly despite herself and getting down on her knees as she leaned forward to once again taste that beautiful flower blooming before her.
***
Carol and Rose made love many times that week, pretty much whenever they could. At morning, before work officially began. At lunch, where they spent more time eating each other than their food. In the waning minutes of the day when most everyone else in the office was clocking out. And a few times in between, when Carol would request Rose to attend to her intern duties by providing necessary relief to the eternally naked and always horny woman.
But the work week was over now, the weekend had arrived, and June's visit was all the more impending. Rose paced up and down her apartment with growing unease, still anxious about seeing her estranged aunt again. It would be the first time in months that they would see each other face to face, and not only were they going to rebuild their shattered relationship, they were going to...break the ultimate societal taboo and...and...make love to one another like they should have so long ago.
