it grew. Sara knew this was a losing battle, but she could not let Cynthia know how she felt. 
    “I can step outside for you to get dressed,” Sara stood up and offered.
    “Nonsense!” was the immediate reply from Cynthia. “I have no modesty left. Changing in locker rooms and sometimes on buses has removed whatever I did have.” 
    Sara stepped closer to Cynthia and looked deep into her big brown eyes. Neither spoke. Sara reached for Cynthia’s arm and pulled her closer. Sara closed her eyes and gently placed her lips on top of Cynthia’s. They were warmer and softer than she had imagined. She expected Cynthia to resist, but there was no resistance at all. Sara opened her eyes after she pulled her lips away. 
    “I’m sorry Cynthia. I should not have done…”
    Cynthia interrupted Sara’s sentence with another kiss. Placing her arms around Sara’s waist, she pulled her even closer. There was more passion from both of them this time. Cynthia ran her hands the length of Sara’s back. Her tongue gently invaded Sara’s mouth.
    Sara could feel her knees becoming weak. She placed her hands on Cynthia’s shoulders and guided her to the bed. Her skin was soft. There was a hint of the jasmine soap. Sara gently pushed her onto the bed. Their lips never parted until Sara pulled back from the kiss.
    “You are so beautiful. I have been attracted to you from the moment that you sat down beside me at Mel’s.” Sara’s voice had become deeper.
    “Me too. I could not resist you that night. That is why I introduced myself to you.”
    Sara gently forced Cynthia to lie back on the bed. She climbed on top of her and lightly kissed her neck. She moved down to her collarbone. While her lips explored Cynthia’s shoulders, her hands were looking for the fold that held the towel in place. It came loose with a slight tug. Sara moved it to the side so that she could see what had been concealed by it. 
    Cynthia’s breasts were firm and beautiful. They were moving up and down with her heavy breathing. Sara allowed her lips and fingers to explore each one carefully. Her tongue playfully teased, first the right one and then the left. She explored farther down Cynthia’s naked body.  Sara could feel her own breath becoming heavier. Sara’s right hand found its way between Cynthia’s strong thighs. There was no doubt at that moment that Cynthia wanted Sara just as much as Sara wanted her.
    Cynthia’s hips rose to meet Sara’s touch. Sara gasped as the warmth enveloped her fingers.

    Sara awoke first and gently pulled her arm from under Cynthia. She did not want to disturb the beautiful sleeping woman. She propped on her elbow and stared at her. 
    The thoughts raced through her mind. How could I have fallen so hard and fast for her?  This was not in my plans. She was leaning over to kiss her forehead when Cynthia opened her eyes. She smiled at Sara and tilted her mouth up.
    “I guess we missed dinner huh?” Cynthia whispered.
    “I think so. It is late. I hate to leave, but I need to get home. I have to work tomorrow and you have a busy day yourself.”
    “I don’t want this to end.” Cynthia was almost pouting.
    “It’s not ending. Let’s just say it is on hold until tomorrow. I would love to cook dinner for you tomorrow night, if you will allow me to do so.”
    They made plans for the next evening as Sara slowly dressed.
    “I will call you tomorrow evening and give you directions to my house. Make sure that you bring a big appetite. I love to cook.”
    Cynthia walked Sara to the door and kissed her goodbye before opening it.
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Chapter 6
     
    Sara checked her mental shopping list as she rushed through the supermarket. Wine, salad, chicken, Parmesan cheese, heavy cream, fresh broccoli, and garlic bread. What else do I need?  Dessert!  I hope the bakery has tiramisu. Oh, and
