Part 9 Janet had never felt such a combination of excitement, joy, arousal, and anxiety. She also felt safety and love while wrapped in Sam's arms, their lips tightly sealed together. They were laying on the deserted beach, kissing and caressing each other like lovesick teenagers. They had slowly knelt and then lay down on their sides without pulling apart somehow. They held each other as if their very lives depended upon physical contact. It wasn't until the cool water splashed over Sam's feet that they pulled apart. Sam looked at Janet and smiled, "We better get out of here before the tide washes over us and we look like a poor imitation of 'From Here To Eternity.'" She reluctantly let Janet go and stood up. Reaching down, she pulled her new love to her feet. As they stood there, they again joined lips and tongues in a loving, exciting kiss promising much more. "Let's go back to the room," Janet whispered into Sam's ear before nibbling on the lobe. Goosebumps rose from the light nips at her ear as Sam nodded. "Yessss! Let's go back." They began to walk back to the condo grounds holding hands tightly. Every few feet one or the other would stop and pull her woman close to kiss again. It took a blissful eternity to return. As they neared the condo, they regained some sense of rationality and released each other as they walked by the pool. Janet glanced over and saw Cassie playing with some of her friends. She gave a little wave and followed Sam up the path to the elevators. Once the doors closed, they began groping and kissing again, totally oblivious. Then Sam opened her eyes and saw the grounds outside and pulled back. "We don't want to be the evening's entertainment, do we?" Pursing her lips, Janet looked at Sam with wide, trusting eyes and shook her head. When the elevator opened on their floor, Sam grabbed Janet's hand and pulled her down the walkway to the door of their condo. "Open the door. Hurry!" Sam pleaded. "Sam, you act like you have to go to the bathroom," Janet smiled as she pulled the keys out of her pocket. Then, feeling a hand slide down her lower stomach over the outside of her shorts, she squealed, "Hey! What are you doing? Oooo, yes, okay." Distracted and fumbling with the keys, Janet sighed when another hand slid over her tshirt and gave her a gentle squeeze. "Ooooh! Wai...wait a minute...I have to get the door open...Aaah God." The hand pinched the nipple poking proudly against the shirt. Sam was pushing Janet against the door as it opened and they both tumbled to the floor. Laying there entangled in each other, they began to laugh. Sam, wiping her eyes, managed to stand up and helped Janet up. When they made eye contact again, they both began to giggle. Janet pressed her laughing lips to Sam and managed to kick the door closed behind them. "We're kinda sandy," Sam observed. "Would you care to join me in the shower?" Janet nodded and led the way to their bedroom. Once inside, she turned the flimsy lock on the door with a "So Cassie doesn't accidentally..." The end of her statement was stifled by another long kiss. Pointing to the side while looking at Sam, Janet said, "Shower. Uh, shower over there." Sam, panting in excitement, merely nodded as she pulled Janet's tshirt off. The doctor's tan lines stood out dark against the alabaster skin of her breasts and stomach. Sam could only stand and stare admiringly at Janet's breasts, themselves rising and falling as Janet's breathing intensified. Janet, thrilled, aroused, and scared all at the same time, finally willed her fingers to undo the top button on Sam's shirt. The remaining buttons came undone more easily. Finally, Janet pushed the shirt off Sam's shoulders. Of course, in her role as head doctor at the SGC, she had seen Sam's breasts before hundreds of times. But that was through the clinical eyes of a trained medic. Now she was looking with the eyes of a lover and she felt desire at what she saw. She reached out and cupped Sam's breasts in her hands, enjoying the soft, warm weight of them. Janet rubbed her thumbs over the erect nipples, drawing a quiet gasp from Sam. Janet smiled and ran her hands lightly down Sam's tight abdomen to the waistband of her shorts. Slipping her fingers around the snap, she undid the shorts and pulled the zipper down. Tugging, Janet then forced the shorts to the floor at Sam's feet. Sam took Janet's hands in hers and kissed them, smiling sweetly. Then she took Janet's head in her hands, running her fingers through the short brown hair. Sam leaned over and kissed Janet, her mouth opening and her tongue slipping in to meet Janet's in an erotic duet. While enjoying the sweet taste of Janet's mouth, Sam ran her hands down the shorter woman's back and around to the front of her shorts. Soon Janet's pants were around her ankles. Breaking the kiss reluctantly, Sam slid her arm around Janet's waist and led her to the bathroom. Janet wrapped her arm around Sam's waist as they walked. Janet stepped through the narrow door first and squealed when Sam let her fingers trail down from her waist to tickle the sensitive skin along Janet's lower cheeks. While they waited for the water to warm up, Janet leaned against the counter and Sam pressed her body up against her as they began to kiss again. Sam reached under the shower stream and said, "I think the water's ready. Come on, I want to wash your back." Shivering in anticipation, Janet followed Sam in and stood under the water. Sam took the soap and began to lather Janet's body. The sensual feelings she was creating were almost overwhelming to the young doctor. "God, Sam!" she breathed heavily. "I, you, oh God!" As Sam soaped Janet, she moved down and slid her fingers between the soft outer lips of Janet's aroused sex. The warm dampness she felt there had nothing to do with the shower. She smiled knowing she was the cause. Her finger slipped inside Janet, causing the eager novice to gasp and grab Sam's shoulders for support. Sam slid her thumb lightly across the extremely sensitive clitoris as she pushed another finger inside. Janet felt her legs go weak and waves of warmth radiate out from the juncture of her legs. She gasped again as Sam touched her clit repeatedly. In a matter of seconds, her vaginal walls were pulsing along Sam's fingers and her breath was blasting past Sam's ear as she came for the first time that night. Leaning against the wall of the shower stall, Janet looked at Sam with glazed eyes as Sam licked her fingers with a smile. "God, Sam, I never...You are wonderful. I only hope I can..." Sam placed her finger on Janet's lips, "Don't worry. I know you will." Then she kissed her before handing Janet the soap. Janet, showing more confidence than she actually felt, lathered up her hands and began to gently soap her partner's body. She cupped Sam's breasts and began to gently sqeeze and caress them, the suds spilling through her fingers. Janet looked up at Sam through her lashes and tweaked her nipples. Sam uttered a loud moan. As Janet's hands travelled down Sam's body, just as Sam had done to her, Sam leaned her upper back against the wall. She looked down into Janet's eyes as Janet's left hand again cupped her breast ad the right hand slid between her thighs. Lightly running her fingers along another woman's pussy for pleasure for the first time, Janet was happy to find the flesh swollen with arousal. The juices seeping out made it eaiser for her to slide a finger in. She surprised Sam and herself when she quickly discovered Sam's g-spot. Sam closed her eyes as she cried out in pleasure, falling against Janet as her legs failed to support her. Clinging to the brunette as she recovered, she felt an unexpected surge of joy that she was with this woman. When she could finally stand, Sam kissed Janet forcefully, shoving her tongue into the shorter woman's mouth. Pulling back, she said, "We better lay down for anything else." Janet nodded and turned off the shower. Towelling off heightened their seemingly boundless arousal and they gave up, falling together on the bed still damp from the shower. Sam again kissed Janet, a more tender, loving kiss and looked in her eyes. "You know what I want to do?" Janet nodded and Sam smiled. Then she kissed her again, trying to show through the kiss how much this woman meant to her. Sam began to kiss along Janet's neck and down to her breasts. As she planted wet kisses in a clockwise spiral from the base of one breast to the nipple, she cupped the other, squeezing the nipple between her fingers. She began sucking on the other nipple causing Janet to moan. Sam kissed and licked her way down from that breast and across to the other, not bothering with any pattern but going for the hard nipple. She began to suck on the nipple, drawing as much of this breast into her mouth as she could. The pressure was causing Janet to moan and thrash her head on the pillow. Releasing Janet's breast, Sam kissed her way down and crawled between Janet's legs. Using her fingers, she gently spread the pouting lips, blowing lightly on the inner surface before leaning in and tasting this woman she had wanted for so long, though she had been loathe to admit it. The musky flavor was exquisite. She began to worship at Janet's sexual center, looking up at her and loving the effect she was creating. Sam knew that she wanted to be with this woman for the rest of her life. She tried to convey that to Janet using her mouth as Janet reached the crest of her second orgasm of the night. Crying out, she held Sam's face tightly against her sex as waves of pleasure rolled through her body. Janet collapsed back on the mattress in ecstasy. She had never come like that before. As Sam crawled up alongside her, Janet looked at her and said, "Regina was right. It is wonderful with the one you love." Sam's heart skipped a beat and she was frightened that she misunderstood this beautiful woman she was with. Janet reassured her by taking her hand and saying, "Sam, I don't know what this will mean for us later, but I love you. It's not just what you did now, although I loved that too. I realized this afternoon, I love you. I want to be with you. I hope you want to be with me." Sam blinked back tears and opened her mouth but the words wouldn't come. Janet reached up and wiped a tear that trailed down the blond woman's soft cheek. "I hope I can make you feel a portion of what I felt," Janet said as she gently pushed Sam over on her back and knelt between her legs. Looking at the wet flesh below the soft blond thatch, Janet thought she had never really appreciated how lovely a woman's vagina was. Then she leaned in and tasted another woman for the first time. She began to run her tongue along the lips, exploring and tasting. Soon she began to push her tongue between Sam's labia and felt her juices flowing over her tongue. After sliding her tongue around the edge of Sam's slit, Janet thrust it in against the blonde's g-spot. As her tongue touched the little bundle of nerves inside Sam's vagina, Sam moaned loudly and thrust her hips up against Janet's face. Janet kept her mouth pressed against Sam's pussy while she experienced an explosive climax. Janet lay next to Sam, smoothing the stray blond locks on her damp forehead as the tall blonde recovered. When Sam opened her eyes, she looked deep into Janet's brown eyes and leaned up and kissed her. It was a sweet, loving kiss. Janet returned the kiss. As they lay there resting, Janet ran her fingers along the faint scars on Sam's stomach. "I never want to forget this night. I want us to experience it again and again. Sam, I want you in my life. You are my life." Janet blinked as tears welled up in her eyes. Sam ran the back of her hand in a light caress along Janet's cheek. "I want you in my life too. I have wanted you for so long but I was always afraid." Turning away, Sam said in a thick voice, "So much time wasted. So much time." Janet gently turned Sam's face back and said, "We won't waste another second." Then she leaned down and kissed this special woman, the kiss loving and tender but turning exciting and passionate. They made love several times throughout the night and snuggled, sharing secrets, hopes, and dreams several more times throughout the night. Sleep finally claimed them as the eastern sky began to lighten. They slept wrapped in each other's arms, just as they'd each dreamed of doing. The morning sun woke Janet slowly. She stretched and smiled, remembering the wonderful night before. She rose up on her elbow and looked at her lover. 'Lover,' she thought. 'What a wonderful word to describe her.' She saw Sam laying on her side, the sheet down around her waist. Those lovely breasts that Janet had so enjoyed kissing and caressing were lolling slightly to the side. Resisting the urge to play with them again, she instead brush a stray lock of blond hair back from Sam's face. Then she rose and walked towards the bathroom. 'This time a solo shower to really clean up,' she thought. Soon after, she emerged from the steamy bathroom and selected a clean pair of shorts and a shirt from her drawer. She looked at Sam only to find her gazing back at her. "Good morning," Janet said. "Good morning. How did you sleep?" Sam asked yawning. "Fantastic! You?" "I'm still tired. But a good tired. You wore me out. I also used some muscles I haven't used in a while," Sam smiled seductively. "I think they will be back in shape soon, though." Janet just smiled at that, a smile full of love and desire. "Go take a shower. We need to figure out what to do about Cassie." Janet's eyes never left Sam's body as she padded into the bathroom naked. 'Why couldn't I see what was there all along?' she lamented to herself. 'We'll just have to make up for lost time,' she promised herself and Sam. As she sat and brushed her damp hair, Janet began to wonder if this was part of the reason she was no longer married. Did she, deep down inside, know that she wasn't meant to be with a man? 'No, I don't buy that. We just fell out of love, if we were ever really in love in the first place,' she decided, remembering those tumultuous three years when she had been a married woman. Sam came out of the bathroom, towelling her hair, causing her breasts to move up and down, seemingly of their own accord. Janet sat and stared, her eyes fascinated by the movement. before travelling down to the damp, blond curls between her legs. "Hey, could you do me a favor and put some clothes on? Otherwise, I may just jump you right now!" Janet said, only half joking. Sam stuck out her tongue but began to dress. As she did, she asked the inevitable question, "So what do we do about Cassie?" Janet shook her head and said, "I'm not sure. She's an intelligent young lady, and pretty understanding. Let's just see what happens." "Good idea," Sam agreed, tucking in the tshirt she selected. "I've found too much fore-planning can really screw you up in these kind of situations." Janet cocked an eyebrow, "You've been in situations like this before?" "Well, not exactly like this," Sam said before quickly kissing Janet. "Come on, let's get this over with." Janet nodded and opened the door, stepping out into the living room. Sam followed. They were greeted by the aroma of fresh-brewed coffee. Cassie was sitting on the couch watching TV when they came out together. She looked at them and saw the slightly sheepish looks on their faces then said, "Well, it's about time!" "What?" Janet asked. "What do you mean?" "C'mon, Mom. You'd have to be blind not to see how the two of your are together. I'm just happy that it's settled and we can enjoy the rest of our vacation." Sam asked, "Cass, this doesn't bother you? Your mom and I?" "No. Why should it?" Cassie said, matter of factly. "My people," there was a trace of sadness in her voice, "didn't care about things like sex. All that mattered was being good and nice to others." Janet gave her daughter a tentative smile, "Honey, you know what we're talking about, don't you?" "Yeah, about you and Sam being lovers. It's not a big deal. You love each other, I love both of you, maybe now we can be a real family." Cassie had a hopeful look on her face. "Well, it's not that easy, kiddo," Sam said. "First, there's the service and then..." "Yeah, I know. This culture is too hung up on outdated, stupid beliefs. And I have another secret to keep, too," Cassie sighed at the end of her statement. "That's okay. I'm just happy you both won't be alone anymore." Before anymore could be said, there was a knock at the door. Cassie jumped up with an "I'll get it!" and ran to the door. "Oh, hi there," she said. A familiar voice said, "Hi Cassie. Are your mom and your friend here?" "Sure, come on in," Cassie answered. They stepped into the room and the new lovers saw Cassie with the detective, Cassandra St. John. "Hi, I hope I'm not here at a bad time but those statements are ready for you to sign," she explained. "No," Sam said. "How are you, Detective?" "Fine, but you can call me Cassandra, remember?" she said. Then noticing how close Sam and Janet were on the couch, her eyes widened and she said, "Oh, I hope I didn't interrupt something." "Not at all. Coffee?" Janet offered, rising from the couch. Nodding her head, Cassandra thought 'They had me fooled into thinking that they really were just friends.' Sensing what the cop was thinking, Sam said, "Janet and I have found out some things and I think I have you to thank for part of it." At the quizzical look on Cassandra's face, Sam continued, "Janet felt jealous of you and that helped her finally confront her feelings." "I was not jealous! Well, not a lot." Janet walked back in with the coffee, "Yes, I guess that did it and one other nudge from a different direction." "Well, I'm glad I could help," Cassandra said, still not clear what was going on. Opening her briefcase, she produced some papers. "These are the statements. Please read them over and sign the top copies. The others are your copies." The three visitors sat and read their respective statements regarding the incident at the arcade a few days before. Sam finished first and said, "Yeah, looks like it's all there." "Good. Sign here," Cassandra indicated on the bottom of the last page. After the others had signed their statements, Cassandra slipped the signed copies back into her case. "Thanks. This should take care of the whole thing for you. Now you can enjoy the rest of your stay down here." "What's going to happen now?" Janet asked. "Well, the three defendants will be arraigned and eventually go to trial. They'll get off with a slap on the wrist, more than likely. But this should get our wonderful sheriff out of office. The only thing, and I'm arguing with Abbie about it, is the concealed weapons charge. That'll probably be plead down in the pre-trial," the detective shrugged. "Will there be any problems for Ramon or anyone else?" Cassie asked. "No, I doubt it. The sheriff is going to keep those punks on a short leash if he knows whats good for him. He won't be able to keep his position once the County Board meets but he won't dare make any moves. That'd seal his fate, politically and professionally here or anywhere else, including the stagnant backwater town he came from," Cassandra explained. She stood, saying, "I'd love to stay and chat or go down to the beach, but I've got to get these back to Abbie. Take care." After they said their goodbyes, Sam asked, "Are you still jealous?" Sliding her arm around the blonde's waist, Janet shook her head, "No. Not of her. Not anymore." "Damn. I like it when you get jealous, it means you love me," Sam smiled and kissed the top of Janet's head. "Should I be jealous of you and your little friend?" "Oh! Sam, I have to go. I'll be back shortly," Janet said. "And no, you don't have to be jealous!" she added as she went out the door. Shortly, Janet was walking down the beach in the direction of the abandoned nest. She looked around but saw no sign of the team studying the nest but saw a person laying on the beach she'd seen near the spot a few times before. "Excuse me, sir? Do you happen to know where the people are who were studying the sea turtle nest?" Janet asked. The man, a balding, middle-aged man with a large beer gut, looked up and shook his head, "No, sorry. Maybe my wife...?" Looking over, he nudged a skinny brunette and asked her. She looked up and said, "Yes, I think they said something about leaving today." "Yes, I know. Do you happen to know where they were staying?" Janet asked. "I think they said the Sand Dollar," the skinny woman said as she pointed down the beach. Janet walked on towards the old, somewhat seedy looking motel. 'Must've been built right after the war,' she mused. Walking into the office, she asked a pleasant looking older woman about the students. "Oh yes, the Florida State group, they were very nice. Much better than most of the college students we get in the spring. But I'm sorry, they checked out before 8 o'clock." Janet felt the disappointment build up in her. It showed on her face as she thanked the older woman and turned to leave. "Wait a moment," the lady said. "Are you Janet? One of the girls said a pretty young lady named Janet might come by." "Yes, my name is Janet," she answered with a flicker of hope. "Here, she left this for you," the woman handed Janet an envelope with her name written on it. Janet tore the end off the envelope and pulled out a single, folded sheet. It was handwritten in the same lovely script as the envelope. Dearest Janet, I hope you come by and get this, since you didn't show up before we have to leave. (Not that I really expected you too. I hope you were too busy last night to get up this early.) I have to tell you that I saw you on the beach last night with Sam. When you kissed so tenderly, I was so happy! I knew you two were meant to be together. I still wish we could've gotten together, but you know what they say about wishes. (Don't worry, I have someone I think I could become very happy with once I convince her. After you that shouldn't be too hard. Smile, that was a joke.) Please be happy. Never forget the joy you felt with Sam last night. Love, Regina Masters Janet smiled as she read the note, her only wish was that Regina had written her address or phone number so she could thank her for everything. Thanking the woman behind the desk, she returned to the condo. As she walked along the beach, she found Sam and Cassie in their spot. She felt a rush of love for both of them. She promised Regina and herself that she wouldn't forget how happy she was at this moment. "Hey Mom! Go get your suit on!" Cassie yelled. Janet waved and blew her a kiss before heading up to the condo to change. Sam caught up to her near the boardwalk and asked, "Everything okay?" "Yeah, I missed her but she left this," Janet said handing Sam the note. The blonde quickly read it and handed it back with a soft smile. "No regrets?" "No, none." Janet stopped and looked at Sam, marvelling again that this beautiful woman wanted to be with her. "Well, yes. I regret it took me so long to realize what was right in front of me." Sam took her hand tenderly and said, "We still have a week here and a lifetime afterward." _______________________________________________________ 6 months later... Sam set the last box down in the third bedroom in Janet's house. 'Our house now, I suppose,' she thought. "So, you think you'll be comfortable here?" a familiar voice asked. Turning to see her love leaning in the doorway, Sam smiled and said, "Considering I'm not going to be using this room for more than storage, yes. I think I'll be very comfortable." Walking over Sam took the shorter woman in her arms and kissed her. "How 'bout you? Any regrets?" "Just that I wish we could tell everyone how happy we are and that we didn't have to make a sham of you living here with us. But about us, none," Janet said and kissed the woman she loved. "Ooh gross. What is it with grown-ups? Can't you do that somewhere else?" Cassie complained as she walked past the two towards her room. "Just wait, kiddo. You'll be in love with someone yourself one of these days," Sam said. "Eeeewwww!" came from the teenager's room. Meanwhile, in a lab in the Life Science building at Florida State, a messenger made a delivery. "Hey who sent you roses, Reg? Are they from Suzie?" Regina read the card before looking over at her one-time boyfriend. She shook her head, "No, they're a thank you from a very dear friend." She read the note again. Dearest Regina, Thank you. You helped make my life with Sam complete. I owe you more than you know. May you have as much joy, happiness, and love as we. Love, Janet (c) John O'ConnerComments May Be Mailed Here
