I
smell her before I see her. She must have freshened her perfume when
she changed. And certainly she has changed. Her stylish but severe
suit has been replaced by a black velour lounging outfit, a loose
tunic and flowing pants. Her hair is a mass of damp curls, as if she
just toweled it after a shower. She has exchanged her fashionable
mauve lipstick for bright red. She looks ten years younger, and I
have to admit, incredibly desirable. The velvety fabric of her outfit
just cries out to be touched.
She
notices me looking at the folders. “Those are Tony’s files on the
campaign. I left them out for you. There are draft speeches, position
papers, notes on people and places, ideas for campaign activities.”
She glides across the polished wood floor and stands behind me, her
hands resting on my shoulders. “I always told him he should get a
tablet or at least a smart phone, but in some ways he was very
old-fashioned.” Her breath is warm on my neck. She lifts the heavy
veil of my hair and brushes her lips over the sensitive skin behind
my ear. Hot blood rushes to my earlobes, my nipples, my sex.
“For
example, he liked old-fashioned girls, with plenty of curves.” Now
her hands are cupping my breasts, her thumbs gently massaging the
nubs that protrude even through three layers of bra, blouse, and
jacket. She flicks her tongue along the line of my jaw. I gasp at the
answering lightning that arcs through my body. “You know what I
mean, don’t you, Stella?”
She’s
taking control, gentle but determined. Oh, how I long to give in to
her! I want to sink into her, drown myself in her kisses, lose myself
in her strength. I’m so tense, vibrating between fear and desire,
that I’m ready to scream.
She
grasps my chin, turns my face to hers, her lips already parted and
ready. Out of the corner of my eye, I glimpse the pile of folders.
This is not why I’m here, I think, as her mouth fastens on mine and
her tongue probes me. But I can’t seem to resist her.
Her
lipstick is cherry-flavored, which almost makes me laugh. Then I gasp
as she slides a bold hand up the inside of my thigh. She finds the
bare skin at the top of my stocking. “Mmm,” she murmurs, nibbling
at my lips. “A garter belt. So traditional. So sexy. You’re such
a delicious, old-fashioned slut.”
That
word, from her, is too much of a shock. The tortured Barbie leaps
into my mind. My whole body stiffens. Hoping that I am not insulting
her, I push her away and stand up hurriedly. A spike of pain skewers
my ankle at the sudden weight.
“No,
Francesca. We agreed that our relationship had to be platonic if we
were going to work together. You think today was bad, just think of
the circus if the press found out that we were lovers.”
Francesca
smiles weakly. “Well, we’d get the gay vote.” She sighs, and
brushes my hair out of my eyes. “But I suppose that you’re right.
For now we need to keep our hands off each other. It’s so difficult
to resist you, though.” She gazes longingly at my bare throat,
where my blouse has come unbuttoned. Then she straightens and
smoothes her tunic. I watch her face rearrange itself, from eager
lust to calculated firmness. The liquid warmth in her eyes freezes to
a glittering hardness.
“I’m
so lonely, Stella. I apologize for trying to seduce you, but
since—that night—being alone has just been unbearable. I’m
strong, though. You know that. I’ll make sure that it doesn’t
happen again, if that’s what you want.”
“You
know what I want.” I recognize her play for sympathy, but I feel
sorry for her anyway. “I just don’t think that’s what’s best
for us right now. For either of us.”
