Thanks. "Giving Thanks, Part 2" by Annie B. I was woken out of a deep slumber my the shrill ring of my phone. A sound that wasn't welcome at 1:16am Monday morning. "Hello?" I mumbled. "Beth? It's Mary Hedstrom" What the hell was my boss doing calling in the middle of the night?? "I'm so glad you answered. The computers at the office have been infected with a virus and we've lost the entire report for tomorrow's big meeting! Our clients fly in at 8am and the meeting is at 9. I need a couple people to come in right now and help me write everything again. I know you were instrumental in writing the original draft and I could really use your expertise right now! I'll throw in double-time pay and you can have the rest of the day off. Please say you'll come." Even though I was hella tired, the double time pay was really appealing, not to mention the rest of the day off. "Yeah Mary, I'll be there in about a half hour." "Oh thank you so much Beth! I'll see you soon." As I was trying to wash the sleep away in the shower, I realized having the rest of the day off was definitely what I needed. I wasn't exactly ready to face Lee quite yet after what happened over the past weekend. After our kiss outside of the restaurant, we decided to cool it for the rest of the weekend and we'd talk more once we've thought things through a bit. Having the day off would buy me some more time before I had to see her. My mind was still trying to wrap itself around the concept of me being with Lee, who up until the past Thursday had been a fantasy crush. After the shower, I dried off, changed into jeans and a sweater, put on a little makeup, and headed toward the door. My eyes fell on my new leather coat hanging on the coat rack by my front door. I was immediately taken back to the store where I tried it on, and could almost feel Lee's hands on me again. Without a second thought, I put the coat on, and became lightheaded when I caught a brief whiff of Lee's perfume around the collar. Then, I was taken back to outside the restaurant, and I could almost feel Lee's lips on mine. ******************* Soon I was at work. I parked my car, swiped my badge to get in, and stopped by the break room to grab some coffee before heading to Mary's office. Another co-worker, Nate, was there and we made small talk about what crap it was that the computers got fried, etc. We grabbed our coffee then made our way to Mary's office. As soon as I walked in the office, I froze. Lee was there. She looked just as surprised to see me. We both quickly shook it off before Mary and Nate noticed anything. Lee started smiling. "Hi Beth. I love your coat, is that new?" she asked. I had to smile. That was just too freakin' cute, and it put me at ease in a snap. "Yeah, I got it over the weekend. Thank you for noticing." We held each other's gaze for a few seconds, before Mary shoved a stack of papers in front of all of our faces and gave us the game plan on recreating the report. We worked diligently throughout the night. It was acually kind of fun. Mary is a great woman to work for. She's the type of boss who doesn't hold her power above her team, and is not afraid to keep the atmosphere light. Nate is also a great guy, whose sense of humor always keeps us in stitches. It was different being around Lee, though. I knew every time it seemed she laughed a little too hard at one of my jokes, or touched my hand a little too long when I handed her something, that it wasn't just my imagination. I KNEW it meant something. Finally, around 7:30 we were done. Mary left us to finish up all the last minute details so she could go to pick our clients up from the airport. I was getting ready to leave after everything had been done. I wanted to talk to Lee before I left, but she was nowhere to be found. Disapointed, I said goodbye to Nate and I headed to my car. When I got to my car, Lee was already there waiting. She had her hands stuffed in her jeans pockets and was avoiding directly looking at me. "Lee?" I inquired. "Take me somewhere." "Where do you want to go?" "Anywhere you want." I nodded and unlocked the car for her. I knew exactly where I was going to take her. When we got to our destination, Lee and I got out of the car. "Johnson Park. I've never made it out here, but I've heard great things about it." Lee said. "Follow me." I took her down a path that lead to a children's play area that was made to look like an old western town. There were little buildings made to look like businesses like a general store, bank, train station, jail, school, church, and courthouse. The courthouse was the biggest building and had several rooms. I lead Lee along the wooden walkway to the courthouse. We sat down on a bench in one of the little courtrooms. "Beth, this is really nice. I wish I had known about this when I was a kid. My friends and I would've loved playing around in something like this." "Me too. This is one of my favorite places in town. It was spectacular a few weeks ago when the leaves were changing. I come here a lot to think, and lately my thoughts always come back to you. So, I thought I should share this place with you." Lee grinned and took my hand in hers. "Did you ever think I'd be here sharing this place with you?" She asked. I shook my head. "No, I didn't. I fantasized about it all the time, though. I've always loved sharing my special places with special people. You have no idea how wonderful I thought our time in the Ozarks was, despite the whole freaking out thing." Lee laughed. "It's completely understandable. And I'm glad I shared that with you too." Lee paused for a few seconds. "I'm really glad you took me here, Beth." she said as she took my hand to her lips and gingerly kissed it. "Tell me what we were doing when you'd imagine us here together." I noticed Lee's breathing had gotten very heavy. Her legs had also began to twitch slightly, just like mine did whenever I became aroused. It was more than obvious what she wanted to hear from me. "You know, the normal sappy stuff you always imagine doing with your crush. Talking, laughing, playing, fucking...you know, the usual." Lee laughed. "Yes, I know what you mean. I've had many fantasies of you, too." "Really?" I asked. "Do tell." Lee laughed again. "No, I'll save that for later. Right now we're in your fantasy." I chuckled. "You're right. This does just feel like another one of my fantasies. It doesn't seem real." "Then let's make this real." She said as she put my hand to her breast. I gave it a quick and light squeeze before I slid my arms around her and pulled her close to me. As we kissed, we both slowly began to undress each other. I stood up and pulled Lee up by her belt loops. By this time both of us were only wearing our bras, jeans, and panties. I started to unhook her bra and lift it off her shoulders and chest. In response, she buried her knee into my crotch. I nearly creamed myself right there. I moaned into her neck as she continued to push into me. I regained my composure long enough to finish removing her bra. Her nipples stiffened immediately in salutation of the cold late-November air, and in anticipation of my warm mouth. The feel of Lee against my sex, coupled with her sweet nipple in my mouth nearly put me into sensory overload. She must have felt my legs quivering, because she moved me over to a big pile of fallen leaves that had formed a drift in the corner of the room. We parted long enough to get situated in the leaves, putting our coats over ouselves for covering. She removed my bra and we both shimmied out of our jeans. We laid there for a second, both panting heavily. "Is this real enough for you?" I responded by sliding on top of her and nibbling on her luscious long neck as I rolled her left nipple between my thumb and index finger. Under me, Lee repositioned herself, and I felt her hands tracing light circles over my ass. I could now feel the warmth her cunt was giving off through her panties. I moved myself back next to her so we were facing each other. I put my hands on her hips, on the waistband of her panties, and slowly slid them off. She returned the favor as well. Now we were laying there, totally nude. I took in this perfect moment with every fiber of my being. It was the most empowering feeling I have ever felt. Just days ago Lee was nothing more than a crush, someone I didn't think I could ever have. And now, we were rolling around naked on a pile of leaves at my thinking spot in Johnson Park. I felt like I could do anything. We came together once again for a kiss. This one was sweeter and not as hungry and rushed as our others. It felt like the kissed that sealed the deal on our status as lovers. As we kissed, I slowly moved my hand down her stomach. As I reached her mound she broke the kiss, pulled back just slightly, and looked into my eyes as she stroked my hair. I held her gaze as I began to lightly stroke her clit. Lee closed her eyes. "Pleaseee..." Lee purred as a smile twitched at her pouty lips. I nipped lightly at her nose before moving down her body to nibble at her chest while my fingers continued to flutter across her warmth. I kissed each nipple before my tongue flicked its way down her stomach, where my fingers had been just moments earlier. I took my hand away from her moist sex long enough to position myself under her and replace it w/ soft kisses. I took my time exploring her warm flower before I settled on a rhythm. As with all my lovers, I took pleasure listening to the animalistic sounds excaping from her as I brought intense pleasure to her most private of places. I was surprised when she gently lifted my head away when it seemed like she was just about to cum. "I want us to do this together" she said as she guided me up her body. She took my hand in hers, and started lightly rubbing my clit with her other hand. I wanted so badly to continue to touch her, but I could tell she wanted me to wait until I was on the edge, myself. I what I could by putting my free arm around her and stroking her back. The more of her I touched, the more I honestly believed the woman was flawless. Lee kissed me once again as she effortlessly slid two fingers inside me. I rocked my hips to the rhythm of her hand. It wasn't long before I felt the twinge of the impending orgasm deep within me. "Lee, I'm about ready." I whispered. She released my hand and I returned to her wetness for one last round. Once again, we held each others' gaze as we simultaneously brought each other to climax. We held each other for moments after, both of us not being able to stop smiling. As I lay there with my arms around Lee I couldn't help but notice the intoxicating aroma made from a combination of our sweat, our sex, my leather coat that still covered us, and the semi-dry leaves below us. I wanted to lay there and hold her for the rest of the day, but the sound of children somewhere in the distance made me think otherwise. Lee and I hurridly got up and dressed, thankful that the kids had stayed away this long. After we had composed ourselves, Lee gave me a quick kiss on the cheek. We walked away from our makeshift love nest hand in hand.
