13. Scarlett

Scarlett smiled to herself with Gianna's nipple between her teeth enjoying the yelp it elicited.

This was what she had thought about so much. Giving pleasure to Gianna, and also, having Gianna entirely at her mercy.

Her own orgasm had been like nothing she had ever felt before and now she had her opportunity to give back.

She looked up at Gianna, still holding her nipple between her teeth. Gianna's lovely face was tipped back in pleasure, her hair a beautiful mess on the pillow.

This was the moment Scarlett had been thinking about for years. She was about to give pleasure to a woman- and indeed to this woman- to Gianna, the woman she had been so into for so long now.

Will I be good enough for her?

Scarlett knew Gianna clearly had a lot of experience with women and as much as Scarlett could feel their connection, what if she didn't know what to do? What if she didn't do it right? She had never thought of herself as very good at sex, what made her think she might be better at it now, with a woman?

She let Gianna's nipple drop from her lips as her overthinking washed over her.

Seconds later she felt the touch of Gianna's hand on her face.

"Hey," Gianna's voice was husky and dripping with sex and concern. "Are you ok?"

Scarlett met her gaze and she knew she was deep in thought.

"Are you sure you want to do this? You don't have to. We can wait?" Gianna was tender and kind.

Scarlett shook her head. She didn't want Gianna to think that she didn't want her physically, when that couldn't be further from the truth. "I want to. So much. Really." Scarlett tried desperately to find the words. "I'm just… uh.. worried I won't be good enough for you. That I won't know what to do. You gave me so much pleasure, I just worry I can't do for you what you can do for me."

Gianna sat up suddenly, her beautiful face broke into a smile and she took Scarlett's face in her hands and gazed intently into her eyes.

"Scarlett, you wanting this is enough. It is more than enough. You need to follow your instincts and watch my body. Watch my response. I'll help you. You don't need to be a perfectionist now."

Scarlett desperately wanted to please her.

"OK," she said with renewed intent.

"I'm so turned on by you. Getting me off will not be difficult. I'm so wet for you." Gianna leaned into Scarlett's ear, pushing her hair back and whispering, "Do you want to taste me?"

Scarlett felt like she might combust on the spot.

"More than anything," she whispered back.

"Then, that would be a good place to start." Gianna leant back smiling and adjusted herself to reclining on the pillows and opening her legs.

Scarlett allowed herself to look between Gianna's legs at her vulva; it looked so wet and inviting and more exciting than anything else she could imagine.

"Close your eyes and enjoy yourself down there with your tongue. I promise there is nothing you will do with your mouth that I won't enjoy."

Scarlett knew this was the moment she had been waiting for for so long. She felt her mouth salivating in anticipation.

I want to taste her. I want so badly to taste her and give her pleasure.

She moved to kneel between Gianna's legs and dipped her head. She opened her mouth. She was so close now, she could smell Gianna's desire and it was the most erotic and arousing thing she could imagine.

As her tongue touched Gianna's wet folds she tasted sweetness with a deep earthy undertone of lust. She licked again, long and slow this time, tasting her deeply. This was a taste she liked. She liked it a lot. She ran her tongue up again and again. This was a taste she would never get bored of.

Enjoy yourself down there.

Gianna's words rang in her head so she promised herself she would stop overthinking and just enjoy herself exploring.

As her tongue moved faster, she heard Gianna moan lightly and her hips push forwards. She could read Gianna's body. She should have given herself more credit.

She pushed her tongue inside Gianna as far as she could.

"Mmmm, fuck." Gianna's body responded instantly and Scarlett felt her own hands gripping Gianna's hips as she pushed her face in as far as she could. She wanted to immerse herself fully in Gianna. She used her mouth to take Gianna's labia in and suck it. It felt exciting having Gianna in her mouth. She heard Gianna's moans rising again as she released her and moved her mouth to the other side to take Gianna and suck her again.

"Fuck, Scarlett, this is incredible. Keep enjoying yourself down there. I promise you, I am having the time of my life," Gianna growled.

Gianna's whole body was beginning to writhe and moan.

How had Scarlett waited her whole life to experience a woman's pleasure? How had she waited all this time to know how a woman felt on her tongue; in her mouth?

This was exquisite.

She lost herself in the experience, licking, sucking. This was her moment to try the things she had fantasised about for so long and suddenly she was no longer afraid. She felt Gianna's fingers lacing into her hair. She pushed her tongue inside Gianna once more and enjoyed the deep moan it elicited.

She thought for a second about something else she had fantasised about and dipped her head lower for a second, reaching with her tongue to Gianna's anus. It felt different on her tongue, she felt the tightness of the ring of muscle as she ran her tongue around it.

Gianna moaned again. Scarlett stopped for a second to whisper, "Is this ok?"

"So much… more than.. .ok…" Gianna's breath was coming in gasps as the grip she had on Scarlett's hair grew tighter.

She really likes this.

I really like this.

Scarlett went back to work with her tongue on Gianna's asshole, rimming, teasing, delicate, then firm as she teased and felt everything about Gianna changing.

She's close. She is close to orgasm.

She ran her tongue slow and firm from Gianna's anus right up to her clitoris. Once. Twice. Thrice.

Gianna was moaning and squirming and pulling Scarlett's face tight into her. Into her pussy and her ass.

A wicked thought entered Scarlett's head, suddenly. She dipped her head again and put her tongue to Gianna's anus again. She held the tip of it there for a couple of seconds as she listened to Gianna's breath quicken. She felt so in sync with her.

She wants this. I'm sure she does.

She made her tongue as firm as she could and pushed it into Gianna's asshole as far as she could.

Gianna nearly jumped off the bed as she called out and gripped Scarlett's head tighter into her.

"Fuck, Scarlett…. Oh… fuck… I'm so close…"

Her breath was coming in shallow quick gasps. Scarlett doubled down on what she was doing with her tongue. She pulled her tongue back out, swirled around and teased again before pushing back in. Then repeated. Again and again. Her tongue against Gianna's anus, circling, teasing, then pushing inside. It was the most erotic thing Scarlett could ever imagine and she knew she wanted to feel Gianna's orgasm now.

She reached instinctively for Gianna's clitoris with her right hand, brushing against it and then finding it with her thumb and applying firm pressure as her tongue pushed inside Gianna's anus once again.

She felt Gianna's body tightening around her tongue and under her hands. All of Gianna's muscles tensed beneath her and then there was a moment of quiet in Scarlett's head before Gianna exploded into orgasm.

She cried out loudly and her pussy gushed in pleasure. Scarlett found herself reacting immediately and lapping her tongue to taste all of Gianna's pleasure.

Fuck, this is so hot.

This was the most incredible thing she had ever experienced in her life. Pleasing a woman in this way. Pleasing Gianna in this way.

She kept licking until Gianna's body relaxed and then when her tongue brushed Gianna's clitoris she jumped slightly and pushed her head away.

"Enough, enough now beautiful. That was the most incredible orgasm I have ever had."

Gianna's hand guided Scarlett to rest her head on her pelvis which she did. She felt Gianna's body heat pulsing under her cheek as she nestled into her pubic area.

"I could spend the rest of my life here," she whispered.

"I'd very much like you to," Gianna laughed and her laugh was the most beautiful thing Scarlett had ever heard.

They stayed like that for a beautiful few minutes and Scarlett felt Gianna's breathing going back to normal. She reached for Gianna's hand and linked her fingers with Gianna's.

She knew that Gianna was her future. She knew that this was more perfect than she could have ever imagined it would be.

She felt like she could have peacefully fallen asleep there.

"Come here," Gianna whispered and guided Scarlett up on top of her. Scarlett could feel Gianna's naked body and full breasts pressing into her own.

That is so erotic. Another woman's naked body against mine. Gianna's hot naked body against mine.

Her face was so close to Gianna's. She still had Gianna's pleasure drying on her and she was very aware of that. She didn't expect Gianna to reach out with her tongue and her mouth and begin licking and sucking her lips, and her mouth and kissing her in a way she had never been kissed before.

"Stick out your tongue," Gianna whispered and Scarlett found herself easily obeying.

She gasped as Gianna drew Scarlett's tongue into her mouth and began to suck it.

Scarlett felt a twinge between her legs. It was her clitoris. It was on fire again. She thought she might explode. Suddenly she could feel her own wetness between her legs like never before and she was hyper aware of it. She found herself grinding down on Gianna's body, desperately trying to find some point of pressure to give her clitoris what it suddenly desperately needed.

"Fuck, you are so beautiful," Gianna gasped below her, between kisses.

Scarlett felt Gianna's right hand pushing between their bodies, pushing lower, seeking out her desperately wanting pussy. She adjusted her hips to allow Gianna access and felt immediate excitement as she felt Gianna's fingers brush her clitoris.

"Ahhhh," she heard herself crying out into Gianna's mouth as she tried to grind down on Gianna's hand to take her orgasm.

"Patience," Gianna said, calmly. "I want to fuck you. I need to be inside you when you come for me this time."

Scarlett thought she might melt into orgasm just at the thought of Gianna inside of her. She nodded obediently.

Scarlett sat up a little and Gianna's fingers began to probe at Scarlett's wetness. Scarlett felt Gianna's fingers push into her and it nearly blew her mind. Never ever had she been this excited sexually. She felt herself grinding onto Gianna's fingers.

"Kiss me," Gianna said, her eyes full of lust as they gazed up at Scarlett. Scarlett leant down and kissed her. Deep and long and full of passion, Gianna sucked her tongue again, Gianna sucked her bottom lip. Gianna thrust her own tongue into Scarlett's mouth.

Scarlett felt Gianna's fingers begin to fuck her faster and harder as her tongue fucked and probed Scarlett's mouth.

Scarlett heard loud moans that she realised were her own as she lost complete control of her body to Gianna's ministrations.

She felt a tightness building low in her abdomen. Building and building towards the release she was so desperate for.

When it finally overcame her, it flooded her whole body with the most beautiful pleasure straight from her pussy through every single fibre of her being.

She felt herself squirting everywhere in a way she never had before.

She was still seeing stars of pleasure as her orgasm seemed to go on and on when she heard Gianna's voice.

"Please… your mouth…. it will take seconds… I'm so fucking close." Gianna encouraged Scarlett to move down her body. Scarlett felt her mouth opening instinctively to taste sweat and her own squirt on Gianna's belly as she moved lower.

Gianna gripped her hair tightly and held her head and Scarlett hadn't even recovered in the slightest from her own orgasm as Gianna thrust her pussy into Scarlett's face. It was dripping wet, hot and amazing and Scarlett suddenly couldn't breathe but she didn't care. She trusted Gianna. Gianna held her face there tightly for a few seconds as she thrust her own hips and took her own pleasure. Her orgasm erupted into Scarlett's face and as she released Scarlett's head, she licked and licked and licked.

Sex with Gianna had blown her mind entirely. She knew that nothing would ever be the same again.

"I love you," she murmured as she settled her head again using Gianna's pelvis as a pillow.

"I love you, too." Gianna's response was immediate as her hand stroked Scarlett's hair tenderly.

This is the beginning of everything.

It was remarkable how quickly everything could change in only a week. The car pulled into the lot and Scarlett parked it in its usual spot, then leaned back against the seat with a sigh and glanced over to her right. There, Gianna's amber eyes were fixed on the mirror, lithe fingers running a brush through her glossy black hair.

"You look gorgeous. Stop stressing," Scarlett observed lightly with an affectionate smile. "You're already the hottest surgeon at Rose Bay. The board isn't going to dismiss you if you've got a hair out of place."

"Mm, I don't know, I think I've got some pretty stiff competition for that title, Doctor Miller," Gianna purred back.

They shared a quick kiss and a mischievous grin, then finally opened their car doors and climbed out onto the asphalt. Scarlett's presentation had been the previous Friday, and it had gone flawlessly. Now, it was Gianna's turn. They had agreed that neither one of them would be happy with the outcome if they didn't at least find out how it would go if they both gave it their best shot, and Gianna, with her stellar track record and exemplary career, had been allowed to resubmit her application.

They got out of the car together, both smiling at each other like giddy teenagers. Gianna reached out to take Scarlett's hand and pull her close for a quick, sweet kiss. Then, they strolled across the parking lot hand in hand and headed inside, trying to act casual when everyone could probably see right through them. Gianna's hand swung freely as they walked side by side through the halls and into the elevator, taking it up to the top floor.

"You ready?" Scarlett asked.

"Born ready," Gianna replied with a wink, but the slight shake in her voice betrayed that there was maybe a smidgen of doubt buried under the confident facade.

Scarlett laughed at her bravado. Her girlfriend was breathtakingly gorgeous and unbelievably charismatic. There was no chance she wasn't going to blow them all away. A week ago, that would have bothered Scarlett, but now, it just made her proud. If this was her only real competition, she could live with losing if that was what it came to. They were both at the top of their field, both passionate about being the best at what they did, both brilliant, successful, driven women who deserved this opportunity. The hospital would be lucky to have either one of them.

She leaned in to press a kiss to Gianna's lips as the elevator doors slid open, the metallic sound echoing across the office floor. They walked together across the hall to the boardroom and stopped outside, turning to look at each other. Gianna reached out a hand, and Scarlett took it, shaking it firmly.

"May the best woman win," Gianna murmured playfully.

"Break a leg," Scarlett teased back, giving her one last lingering, loving stare.

Gianna squared her shoulders and took a deep breath, then nodded. She turned the knob of the door and disappeared into the boardroom, closing the door behind her. Once it closed, Scarlett sank back against the wall with a deep exhale, smiling to herself as she looked up at the bright lights.

Well. That was it. Either she or Gianna was going to become the youngest cardiology director in the country, and she was pretty much okay with whatever happened at this point. Either way, they were going to end up happily celebrating with champagne that night. Then they'd go back to work, saving lives and changing futures together, challenging each other and driving each other crazy.

It was going to be a wonderful ride.
