Shouldn't you be on your way to school?" Catherine asked of Lindsey. "I know mom, but I forgot my math book, so we had to come get it." Lindsey explained as she started to run upstairs to grab her book. Sara had been staring at her empty plate again, here face rapidly turning red. Of all the times she had stayed for the "morning after", not once had she been busted by the daughter of her latest lover. Of course, most didn't have daughters, so maybe that helped in the past. Catherine's sister, Nancy, was grabbing herself a small glass of orange juice, acting for all the world as if this happened everyday. Which of course, did not help Sara's embarrassment. "So you must be Sara then, right?" Nancy asked, looking right at Sara. "I'm Catherine's sister, Nancy. Sorry to interrupt your breakfast." "Um, yeah. Sara, that's me." Still staring at her plate. "You're right Catherine, she is pretty cute." If it was possible, Sara turned even redder. "But I don't think she's ready to meet the family yet. Or, maybe she'd just prefer to have met me when she had some clothes on." It was obvious that Nancy was joking, but Sara still wouldn't look up from her plate. Lindsey cam running back down the stairs with her book in hand. "Mommy, can we go out for ice cream after school today?" Lindsey asked as she rushed back over to her mother. "Please?" "Okay sweetie," Catherine caved easily to the whim of her daughter. "Sara, can you come too?" At this Sara's head finally snapped up from her plate. Her eyes opened real wide and she stared at Catherine. Regaining her composure, she took Catherine's hand and said, "Only if your mom says it's okay." Well, at least that way she wouldn't have to be the one to decide if she could intrude on Catherine's family. As much as she hoped for more, she didn't know if Catherine thought of their relationships as anything more than a fling. She wanted this to beginning of something, but left it up to Catherine. Catherine could see the slight glint of hope in Sara's eyes, and was pretty sure she knew what it meant. "Sara can come if she wants," Catherine said more to Sara than to Lindsey. "But right now, you've got to get to school." Lindsey hugged her mom and said, "Thanks mom, I love you." "I love you too sweetheart, now, off to school." Catherine said trying to lead Lindsey to the door. "Wait a minute Mom," Lindsey said as she rushed over to where Sara was sitting. Lindsey leaned up and gave Sara a hug. "Bye Sara, see you after school." Nancy watched the whole exchange from the foyer with a smile on her face. She hugged Catherine and whispered in her ear, "As your sister, I fully expect details after I drop Lindsey off at school." Sara was still sitting in her chair at the dining table after Lindsey and Nancy left. She was a little dumbfounded at the affection the little girl had shown her. Catherine came back in the room to find Sara still sitting there, a pleasant look of shock on her face. "Lindsey has that effect on people. She's quite the charmer." Catherine said, started to clean up everything on the table. "She's a lot like her mother that way. As soon as she flashes that Willows' smile at you, you're done. You might as well just give up." Sara said as she reached out a hand to stop Catherine. "You made the breakfast, that means I clean up." Before Catherine could protest, Sara's lips were on hers. It was a brief kiss, but one that effectively stopped Catherine from protesting. "Uh, well alright then. Guess I could use a shower. Sure you don't want any help with this?" Catherine asked. "No, it's okay. You go, take your shower. I'll be fine." Sara told her, leading her to the stairs and giving Catherine a playful pat on the ass, to get her point across. Catherine headed up to the shower as Sara cleared the table. She wasn't very familiar with Catherine's kitchen, but it didn't take her figure out where things needed to go. She started working on the dishes just as she heard the shower turn on upstairs. Catherine's house. I'm in Catherine's house, in her robe, doing the dishes from a breakfast we just shared. Later, I'm going out for ice cream with Catherine and Lindsey. Who would have thought I could be so domestic. Who would've known I'd fall for a beautiful lady with a family. A family that I actually want to be a part of. Catherine's upstairs right now showering, ready to take on another day, and we haven't even gotten any sleep yet. Catherine's in the shower. Right now. Naked. And wet. Bad thoughts again Sara, bad thoughts. Sara let her mind wander, and hurried through the dishes in record time. Catherine was just coming out of the shower as the door opened and Sara started to walk in the bathroom. "Hey, I wanted to thank you for everything, especially for letting me borrow this robe. But, I don't think I'll be needing it anymore, so I'll just put it back." Sara said, never taking her eyes off Catherine's naked form. Sara hung the robe on the back of the door where she had found and stood before Catherine completely naked. Catherine, who had been toweling off, stopped completely when Sara stood before her. "Uh, okay. Awkward moment. You leaving already then? Don't forget to come by around 3:00, so we can get that ice cream we promised Lindsey." "No, I didn't say I was leaving, just that I didn't need the robe anymore." Sara said as she walked over to Catherine and took the towel from her. Recognition flashed through Catherine's eyes as Sara leaned n for a kiss and, with the towel in her hands, continued drying off Catherine. Sara's motions slowly turned into subtle groping as their kiss deepened and Sara dropped the towel. "Mmm. I'm glad you're not leaving yet." Catherine said as they parted. "I just couldn't. With you up here all naked and beautiful in the shower. Wet. There's no chance I was going to leave. I barely finished the dishes before my libido got the best of me and I rushed up here." Sara said. They were still standing close to each other in the bathroom, and Sara stooped down just a bit, wrapped her arms around Catherine as she did so, and picked her up off the floor to take her to the bedroom. "My god, what are you doing?," Catherine nearly screamed as Sara picked her up with ease. Catherine wrapped her hands around Sara's neck, holding on tight. "Duh, Catherine, I'm taking you to the bedroom where you can be a lot more comfortable while I have my way with you!" Sara told her, laughing lightly, but the desire in her eyes made it clear to Catherine that she was definitely not kidding around. Sara leaned in and kissed Catherine deep and hard as they neared the bed. Sara lightly placed Catherine on the bed and asked, "Is that okay with you?" "Oh, yeah. Definitely." ********************************************************************** Don't forget about the feedback. I think I've turned into an ego maniac. I must know if it you like it! :)
