I stepped carefully into the bathroom and yanked open the shower door. She screamed as I did this. I dropped the bat the moment I saw her. “Stephanie!” Allison gasped. “You scared the life out of me.”

“I scared you?” I laughed as my eyes wondered freely over her naked form. I removed my coat quickly and dropped in onto the floor and slipped out of my shoes. Then still fully dressed I stepped into the shower and took my lover into my arms. I began kissing her all over. “I missed you.” She murmured into my ear.

“Kiss me.” I demanded breathlessly.

Allison obeyed without hesitation as her lips soon found my own. Her hands struggled to unbutton my blouse. My smaller hands clasped her larger ones and halted her movements. I reached down and tore open my blouse. The buttons clanging against the tiles of the shower floor. We both engaged in a struggle to remove my clothing as the warm water drenched our bodies. The water soaked my clothing making it difficult to remove as it clung tightly against my form. Yet somehow we managed to release me from my clothing. Throughout the struggle our lips continually sought out each other. Finally free of my clothing I stood naked before my lover. My eyes glazed over as I watched her tall lean body sink to its knees as her hands caressed me.

I allowed the water to embrace me as Allison kissed my thighs. I opened my legs to her eager for her touch. “If this is a dream please don’t let me awaken!”. With the first flick of her tongue I knew that this was no dream. I braced my hands against the wall of the shower and further opened myself to her. With passion filled eyes she looked up at me as she parted my lips. I trembled as she began to tease me. “Damn!” She sputtered as she suddenly ceased her movements.

“What is it?” I gasped.

“Water up my nose.” She stuttered in dismay.

“Get up here before you drown.” I laughed as I pulled her up to me.

As she stood she shut off the water. “Making love in the shower always seems like a good idea.” She coughed as we stepped out of the shower. “I don’t know sometimes it works.” I smiled as we grabbed some towels and began to dry off. “If you recall we have endured very nicely in some water sports.”

“Oh yeah.” She moaned as she called the memories.

“I can’t believe that you are here.” I said with a smile as I drank in the vision before me.

“I was going to surprise you at the office.” She explained. “But after seven hours on an airplane I felt all grungy.”

“I think finding you naked in the shower was more fun.” I purred.

“I hope that I’m not interrupting any plans that you might have made.” Allison added with a sudden shyness. “I just couldn’t bear not seeing you for another nine weeks.”

“I just need to make a phone call.” I reassured her.

“Oh.” Allison responded with a slight frown.

“I did have a date with two women tonight.” I teased her as I wrapped myself up in a towel and made my way into the bedroom as Allison followed closely behind me.

“You have been a busy girl.” Allison smirked. “And here I thought you might be lonely without me.”

“Oh you have no idea.” I sighed as she raised an eyebrow at me. I quickly explained how Chris and Rita took pity on me an then bullied me into joining them for dinner. I grabbed the telephone and quickly dialed Rita’s shop. “Rita its Stephanie.”

“Hey what’s up you are not going to back out are you?” Rita grunted.

“Afraid so.” I answered brightly.

“Now Stephanie…” She began to protest.

“Sorry Rita.” I responded firmly. “No offense but I just got a better offer.” Allison began to nibble on my shoulder.

“I see.” Rita suspiciously as I moaned in response to Allison’s attention.

“Oh yeah.” I groaned. “You would not believe what I found in the shower when I got home.”

“Do tell.” Rita encouraged me.

“I’ll give you a hint she is about six feet tall, amazing blue eyes and …” I lost my train of thought as Allison’s lips moved to my neck. “… and umm I have to go.” I moaned. I could her Rita laughing at me as I hung up the receiver.

My only thoughts at that moment were to drag Allison to bed. “Let’s drive down to Provincetown.” Allison purred into my ear. “Now?” I gasped as the heat of her touch sent a jolt through my body. “I’ll make you dinner.” Allison encouraged. “We can sit by the fire or sip champagne in the hot tub.”

“Hmmm.” I moaned as the image of Allison in a hot tub floated through my thoughts.

“Is that a ‘yes’?” She chuckled as my body went cold from her departing touch.

“What do I need to pack?” I asked as I finally cleared my head.

“Personally I like what you are wearing at the moment.” She purred as she tugged on the towel I had wrapped myself in. “But then again it is very cold outside.”

We dressed quickly and tossed some clothing in an overnight bag. As we hurried down the staircase I ran into Caroline almost knocking her to the ground. “Sorry.” I said quickly.

“My pleasure.” Caroline purred as she steadied herself touching my backside in the process. I pulled away deliberately. “Where are you running off to in such a hurry.” She inquired in a husky tone. “I was hoping that perhaps we could …” She stopped suddenly finally noticing Allison behind me. Of course she would have noticed sooner if her eyes hadn’t been firmly staring at my cleavage. “Oh … I see that you have other plans.” She sneered as Allison took her place by my side.

“Allison Kendell.” Allison introduced herself as she placed her arm around my waist in a possessive manner.

“Caroline Jennings.” Caroline responded coldly. “I’m your replacement.” She added snidely. “Only in your dreams.” I thought coldly.

Much to my relief Allison simply chuckled at Caroline’s statement. “Sweetheart we should get going if we want to beat the traffic.” I said quickly knowing that Caroline was about to dig her heels in. Caroline was no match for my lover and I didn’t want to waste anytime watching her try to start some kind of pissing contest. I had more important matters to attend to. Allison placed her Rayban firmly on her face and led me out to the car. Caroline was fuming as we made our departure.

“Well Caroline seems interesting.” Allison teased as she pulled the car out of the driveway.

“She’s a pill.” I responded in distaste. “I think she’s after your job.”

“That’s not all she is after is it Baby?” Allison asked knowingly. “Don’t worry Stephanie I trust you. I’m not going to get all freaked out about her.”

“Thank you.” I responded happily to Allison’s self control. “So you’re not bothered by her.”

“Of course I am.” Allison answered sincerely. “I’m jealous as all hell. But if you and I don’t trust one another than we are right back where we started and I don’t know about you but I wouldn’t want to live through that again.”

“Amen.” I added as I squeezed her hand gently.

We drove in silence for a few moments. “I love you, Allison.” I said gently as I squeezed her hand once again. “There is something I need to tell you.” I looked over at her and watched her body tense slightly. I needed to tell her about my past with Caroline. Based on the fiasco that happened with Peter I had more than learned my lesson. I told her everything about what had happened in College to Caroline’s present day advances. When I had finished she thanked me for being honest and kissed my hand. “Are you all right?” I asked slightly fearful of her response.

“Yes.” She answered sweetly. “The world is filled with people like Caroline. You are a beautiful woman Stephanie. There is going to be a lot of women and men alike who are going to try to seduce you. I love you and I know that you love me. That is all that matters. That is not to say that I won’t get upset at times.”

“Allison I spent my entire life looking for you.” I said honestly. “Until there was you, I don’t think that I was really alive.”

“You are going to make me cry.” Allison said softly.

We drove on enjoying one another’s company. It was getting late so decided on a quick dinner from McDonalds instead of Allison cooking. She apologized repeatedly as we drove towards Provincetown. I didn’t care about the food we were together and that was the only thing that really mattered to me. It was very late when we finally arrived in PTown. I was thankful for the Subaru’s all wheel drive as we maneuvered our way through the narrow snow covered streets. Allison’s summer place was small but quaint. She unlocked the gate to the driveway and I pulled the car in.

The windows were covered with dark shutters. Allison explained that they were heavy storm shutters that would protect the glass from any unforeseen weather conditions and we could open them with a switch from the inside. I couldn’t help thinking just how much I wanted to see the house in the summer. Deep in my heart I knew that I would. We rushed into the house from the cold and began turning on the lights. Allison opened a few of the storm shutters so we could enjoy the view. I realized then that the shutters were a heavy metal material. The view of the ocean was breath taking. Allison quickly built a fire and as I warmed myself by the fire she went outside to the deck and started up the hot tub. She needed to uncover it, heat the water and then test it to insure that it was safe to use. I looked around the house with curiosity. It was one floor with a bedroom at the back and a smaller on in the front of the structure. The living room and kitchen meshed together with a deck leading off of the kitchen. It was perfect. The only thing that troubled me was that I knew that I was not the first woman that Allison had brought here.
