“I do, yes, but–”
“But that didn’t stop you from going on a date and sleeping with someone else?”
“No, because I thoughtshewas with someone. And to be honest, the woman I went on a date with wasn’t exactly my type. I was just trying to move on from Becky, who was taken and didn’t know that I liked her. I went because I felt like I should. It was time, you know?”
“Want to maybe get her back?”
“My date?”
“No, Becky.”
“Get her back for what?”
“Sending you on a bunch of shitty dates.”
“I don’t think she did that on purpose.”
Helena heard a sound then, and she turned her head to listen more closely. Someone was grunting on the other side of one of the walls. She was listening to two women have sex.
“That could be her, couldn’t it?” she asked.
“Possibly.”
“Jesus,” she said.
“Want to make some sounds of our own?” Jennifer suggested. “I’m game if you are. If not, I get it, but it could be a one-and-done thing; a little stress relief for both of us. Then, you can head to your room if you want, or find Nia and complain.”
“I could really use agoodorgasm,” Helena replied. “But I don’t know. Should we? Feels weird. I’ve never done anything like this before. I don’t know how it goes.”
“You didn’t let her go down on you, right? The woman from last night.”
“No.”
“Wantmeto? I happen to very much enjoy that.”
“Really? Even after everything I just told you? How did I get so lucky on the first night?”
“I don’t know.” Jennifer chuckled. “Maybe it’s because I’m in the mood. I have been since I got on the plane today, knowing that I was coming here and might have a chance to, well, at least get lucky if nothing else. If you want something, we can. If you don’t, we don’t have to. Sex can just be about a biological need. It doesn’t have to be more than that.”
Jennifer moved until she was kneeling in front of Helena, and Helena couldn’t stop herself from spreading her legs, but she closed them again when she remembered that Jennifer needed to remove her panties under her dress.
“You can just lie back and enjoy this. You don’t have to worry about anything else. Picture Becky’s face under your dress, if you want to. It won’t bother me.” Jennifer lowered her head under Helena’s black dress and added, “I’ve been told I can be clinical, and that applies to sex, so maybe that’ll pay off here.”
“Oh, fuck,” she let out when she felt Jennifer’s tongue meet her clit.
CHAPTER 18
Jennifer
This wasn’t exactly what Jennifer had expected to happen on her first night here, but she had had a long day at the hospital yesterday, having to stay after her shift when a trauma had come in right when she’d been about to leave, which always seemed to happen when she had something to do and never when she had a TV dinner and Netflix awaiting her at home. She’d gotten home way later than she had planned as a result and had to pack and do laundry at the same time because most of her clothes had been piled up in her closet, in and on the overflowing hamper. She’d planned to do laundry when she got home after a normal shift, giving her plenty of time to pack after, but that hadn’t happened, and she’d gotten hardly any sleep. Her flight had experienced some major turbulence on top of that, and she’d been starving by the time she’d arrived at the house because her plan to eat before the flight had been ruined when the lines for every single restaurant had been too long for her to squeeze in real food and her only option had been one of those premade sandwiches at the airport convenience store and a bag of chips.
She’d at least eaten dinner now, which had helped with her hunger, but she hadn’t slept yet, and she’d been tense all day. Well, she’d been tense since yesterday, when her ex-girlfriend had met her in the locker room of the hospital, asked her not to go to this event, and asked her to give her another chance, whichJennifer had promptly declined. So, tonight, at drinks, she’d had two glasses of wine. She’d watched Helena and Becky sort of dance around one another without actually speaking. She’d noticed Gage staring at each of them one by one, sizing everyone up. She’d seen Carrie standing off to the side a bit so as not to be noticed. Then, she had eaten dinner and spent most of her time focused on food and not having a conversation.
Now, her head was between a beautiful woman’s legs, and she had one of her hands between her own because Jennifer needed to come. She needed a damn release after all the stress that had come from just getting to this event, but also from her soon-to-be new job and leaving the one she’d had for her entire medical career.
“Are you…” Helena didn’t finish her question because she lifted her head to check. “Fuck. You’re touching yourself, too?”
Jennifer grunted in response but didn’t lift her mouth away from Helena’s center. She continued to stroke herself quickly as she sucked on Helena’s clit, hiding under the skirt of Helena’s dress, letting the woman picture someone else’s mouth there, if she wanted, because Jennifer didn’t care. She liked making a woman come. It gave her pleasure to do it, and that was especially true when she had a hard clit between her lips and was stroking her own at the same time. When Helena’s hand landed on the back of her head through her dress, Jennifer groaned and sucked harder. She was so damn close.
