Part 1

 

            Lady Lara Croft entered the museum. She had a series of dreams that she couldn’t dismiss. She went through the museum till she reached a temporary display of artifacts that was on loan from the University of North Carolina.  She felt compelled to examine them.

            In a central display case was a small scroll that she was drawn to like a magnet. She peered into the case and read the ancient parchment. It was written in a very difficult to read ancient Greek but she managed.

            As she read the words she knew now that she would follow the path of her recurring dream. She went to the museum curator an old friend to ask if she could take some pictures of the scroll.

            The older man thinking it would be good publicity for the exhibit that was a very low profile type gave his friend permission to take pictures with the understanding that anything she would publish had to be approved by the American University.

            She agreed knowing very well that it wasn’t going to be published. The beautiful dark haired photojournalist left the museum with a huge smile on her face. She was going to Greece.

            ***                  ***                  ***                  ****  

            Sarah Covington was compelled to go to Greece. Her Great Aunt Janice seemed to be haunting her dreams lately.

            She arrived in Athens and went to stay at the Neapolitan Hotel. A moderate property that her Aunt Janice and her God Mother Mel preferred.  She was lying on the bed staring at the ceiling wondering why she had to find her ancient ancestor’s tomb now.

            They had looked all those years ago and came exceedingly close to it but never quite found it.  Sarah had never been anything but an armchair Archaeologist and now she was heading off to an excavation so far from home.

            “I must be nuts!” She said to the ceiling of her hotel room.

            She had spent her years at the university cataloging and compiling all of the great team’s research. She had never been an adventurer like her Aunt Janice and Aunt Mel. They had been the greatest influences of her life and she loved them dearly till they died a year apart from each other.

            “So why are you haunting me now, Auntie Janice? Why do you want me to find their tomb so badly? Xena and Gabrielle have been at peace for thousands of years why is it so imperative in the year 2002 to find them?”

            ***                  ***                  ***                  ***

            Lara read the scroll carefully. Gabrielle had written it in Egypt after some kind of trail that she had been on. She had brought Xena back to her. The dialect was very difficult to read but she got the gist that this was test of faith that she passed at great peril and she was happy to have Xena back.

            “I wonder where exactly the great warrior had gone?”

            She kept reading but no mention was made of where the warrior had come back from or how the battling bard had recovered her.

            “Why am I being haunted at night by you Xena? I don’t know you. Till you invaded my dreams I had never heard of you before. And why do you keep pointing to this bloody scroll as guide? What do you want me to find Warrior Princess?”

            ***                  ***                  ***                  ***

            Sarah drove to a site of history that she had heard about all her life, Poteidaia. She walked toward the dig and saw a tall dark haired woman dressed in a black tank top and shorts. She had on combat boots and guns strapped to her thighs. Her long dark hair held back in long single braid with trails of hair falling down the front into her blue eyes. She looked so familiar but she knew she had never laid eyes on the woman before.

            Lara looked up when she felt eyes observing her. She looked toward the work site tents and saw a saw small blonde. She was wearing dark green colored clothes and work boots. She had her long hair pulled back in a ponytail and thick tinted glasses. She felt stirrings inside her like she knew this girl but she knew realistically she had never set eyes on her before.

            The head archaeologist on the site motioned for her to come toward him and small blond beside him.  When she came close Daniel Baker said cordially, “Ah, Lady Croft, I’d like you to meet a great scholar from the states. She has spent her life in research of the Warrior Princess and the Battling Bard. Lady Lara Croft, This Dr. Sarah Covington. Dr. Covington this is the famous photojournalist and adventurer Lady Lara Croft.

            Their eyes met and they knew each other.  They shook hands and just stared in awe. It made the older man uncomfortable. “Well I’ll let you two get aquatinted,” He said shaking his head and heading for the main display tent.

            Their eyes were searing into each other and they felt the presence of something very powerful. Suddenly they knew why they were there and who they really were.

            “Xena?”

            “Yes, Gabrielle,” Replied Lara in a deep purring voice not quite her own. There was no British Accent and she felt like she had stepped back for a minute.

            “What are we going to do?” Asked Sarah her voice had lost all trace of it southern accent and it was slightly higher.

            Lara shrugged and said, “Find the tomb.”

            “But why now?”

            “It's time.”

            The spell was broken when Lara’s cell rang. She didn’t let go of Sarah’s hand or break eye contact as she answered the call.

            “Yes?” It was her own voice again.

            “Lara, its Brice. You wanted me to get information about the donation to the museum from the University of North Carolina?”

            “Yes, What did you find out?”

            “It’s really weird Lara. It seems that this was set in motion over 30 years ago. A Dr. Janice Covington had it in her will that at this time the collection was to be sent for display in England. It also stated that the scroll you mention must have the central place in that display.”

            “Were there any other proviso’s?”

            “Weirder still. It states that if a noted scholar wished she could examine it closely and it does state she; or do any type of examination including, get this; take pictures.”

            “Interesting, Thank you Brice.”

            She disconnected the call and asked Sarah calmly, “ Sarah, Do you have any relations named Dr. Janice Covington?”

            Sarah’s eyes widened in shock. “Yes…yes,” she stuttered. “She was my Great Aunt. She and her best friend Melinda Pappas discovered the Xena scrolls in the forties. Auntie Mel was my godmother. They raised me after my parents were killed. Why?”

            “It seems that your Aunt Janice set up our meeting today.”

            “How?”

            “She set it up that the scrolls would be in London at this time. She even said that a scholar would come and need to study them closely and was to be given Carte’ blanche’.  It seems she even knew I would be a woman.”

            “How? Auntie Janice was not a psychic.  She was a very grounded person. She was an Archaeologist and an adventurer but she never had any flights of fancy. She used to scold me about mine and Auntie Mel’s.”

            “Well maybe Gabrielle advised her…”

            “Yes…yes, In my dream Auntie Janice said I was to help Gabrielle with this very important mission.”

            “How?”

            “She didn’t say. I kept having this dream over and over for a whole month. It finally ended when I decided to come here. All she told me was that I had to go to Poteidaia and that it had to be now.”

            “Fascinating.”

            “Why?’

            Lara smiled and gently caressed the pretty blonde’s soft cheek.

            “Because for the last month Xena has been haunting my dreams. I had no idea who she was. First it was to go to the British Museum to see the display. Then it was to follow the scroll Gabrielle had written about her home. I didn’t know who she was either. It was haunting me for a month too about the same time as yours. And it ended the night I left the museum with decision made to come to Greece.”

            They stood staring at each other again. This time they were fully themselves and they were drawn together by the same invisible string.

            “What are we going to do, Lara?”

            Lara shrugged, “Same as before we will go and find their tomb just like they want us to.”

            “Then?”

            “I haven’t the faintest idea. Interesting isn’t it?”

            ***                  ***                  ***                  ***   

            They were on the verandah of the palatial estate Lara’s late father Lord Croft left her. She invited Sarah to stay with her while in Athens.  Sarah tried to say no but Lara said in a very kind and reasonable voice, “My dear girl, It will be hard to work together on this mission if we have trek back and forth across Athens just to chat.”

            “I wouldn’t want to intrude on your privacy, Lara.” Sarah replied smiling shyly.

            “You couldn’t. I mean it’s a huge place and if it will make you feel better you can take a room in another wing.  I’d much rather you stay in the pretty room next to mine though.”

            Green eyes searched blue and Sarah finally had consented.

            Lara smiled at the face that was turned away from hers toward the city. The verandah over looked the acropolis and the girl was fascinated by the magical site that she had heard of all her life.  As Lara examined her shy new friend she realized that this was really the first time she was away from home. She found that intriguing given who guardians were.

            “Didn’t you ever go off with Janice and Mel on a dig?”

            Sarah turned toward her and shook her head no. “They didn’t want to disrupt my routine. They also felt that there was too much danger for a small shy girl. They always seemed to be getting in trouble. I stayed with my Great Uncle Nat and his family.”

            “They must have loved you very much.”

            Sarah eyes suddenly filled with tears and she nodded her head, “Yes and I loved them.  They were the only love I’ve ever known. They treated me as a daughter and for some reason they were proud of me. It’s been ten years since they died and I still miss them terribly.”

            “I do understand, I lost my beloved Father when I was little girl. You were a teenager when they died right?”

            Sarah nodded and replied in a voice that was now choked with emotion, “Yes I was. I was a very quiet child and non-wild teenager. Auntie Janice used to say that I was probably a lot like Gabrielle.” This made a tiny smile suddenly form on her face.

            Lara decided she liked that smile and she returned it. She reached out taking the little hand in her own and pulling it on her lap. She looked into the sweetest expression she had ever seen as she said quietly, “Yes from my readings of Gabrielle’s scrolls I’d say you were very much like her.”

            Sarah eyes widened and then she shook her head no. “I don’t think so, Lara. Gabrielle was very brave and strong. I’m not anything like that. I’m afraid I’m just a reader not a doer.”

            “You are here, Sarah.”

            “Only because my Auntie Janice made me.” She argued.

            “A dream can’t make you do anything.  It influenced you obviously but you have that bravery in your heart or you would never have come here.”

            “How can you sound so sure? You don’t know me.”

            “Yes I do.” Lara replied firmly.

            “What do you mean?”

            “The moment I looked into those beautiful green eyes I knew you.”

            “You saw Gabrielle’s spirit not mine.”

            “It’s the same thing, Sarah. Trust in Gabrielle and trust me. You are up to this.”

            “I really hope your right I don’t want to disappoint you.”

            “Oh, you won’t, I promise you,” said Lara quietly squeezing the hand and bringing it up to her cheek. “You couldn’t possibly disappoint me.”

                        ***                  ***                  ***   

            They had both slept very badly with a series of dreams that upon waking neither of them could remember.  They were sitting at the table in the large kitchen and had just finished breakfast. They now sat side by side carefully studying Lara’s blow-ups of Gabrielle’s scrolls.  They were re-reading them trying to find clues to follow to complete their ancestor’s mission.

            “Sarah you said they got close what stopped them from finding the tomb?”

            “War, politics and funding of course.  All sorts of road blocks making Auntie Janice curse her head off and Auntie Mel trying to shush her reminding her of my presence.” Lara laughed and Sarah nodded saying, “It was a constant argument between them and it was funny because when you grew up around Auntie Janice you grew up around cursing. I never picked it up but Mel was constantly worried about my upbringing,” She had a far away expression for a minute and Lara could see she was fondly remembering her youth with them. Then she took a deep breath and turned back to Lara saying quietly, “Anyway they were constantly writing to officials for permission to dig. They were given it only to have it withdrawn by another higher official. They got very frustrated.”

            “Do they have any sort of diary or logs?”

            “Yes they both kept logs, I brought both of them with me. They’re in my purse here.” Without a thought she pulled them out and gave Lara, Mel’s diary keeping Janice’s for herself. Then she looked up at Lara in shock; “Did you see what I did with out even looking at them?”

            Lara smiled and winked. “Yep. You automatically gave me Mel’s who was my relative though I didn’t know it. Then you kept Janice’s for yourself who was yours. Interesting isn’t it? I do feel their presence you know.”

            “I do too. In fact I feel all four of them.”

            Lara felt a deep affection for her new friend, which was very strange, since she hardly knew her.  She privately wondered if that was due to her ancestor’s influence. “Sarah you knew them I didn’t how do you feel we should proceed? Feel it Sarah, don‘t think.”

            Sarah closed her eyes and turned to the last page of Janice’s log. Then she opened them and noticed that it had a drawing of two Sais meeting at the tips. Then across the hilts was a quill creating a triangle. The triangle pointed to words that Janice had written in Greek.  Follow the path.

            “Lara look at the last page of Auntie Mel’s log. What is there?”

            Lara turned to the last page where there was drawn a decorative circle with a zig zag line through the middle.  “Some strange decorative circle.” Replied Lara feeling she should know what it was but just couldn’t manage the name.

            “Let me see that,” Lara handed the smaller woman the log and looked over her shoulder as she studied it. Excited green eyes met hers melting her heart and causing her to smile, “Lara this is Chakram. It was Xena’s most powerful weapon.”

            Then Sarah took the pictures of the scrolls and rifled through them till she found the one she remembered of the bottom of Gabrielle’s scroll. There was a Chakram with two Sais and quill. They formed a circle and triangle entwined. It pointed to the words at the very bottom of the scroll seemingly unconnected with the rest. It said, Finding your way.   Around it the scrollwork appeared to be a forest and then Sarah gasped.

            “Lara is there a forest here?”

            “Hmm, Good question. Let’s look at one of these maps and see. Yes there is it looks to be about two days travel from here…Um, Sarah it just can’t be this easy or someone else would have found it a long time ago.”

            “I…I don’t think it will be.  I…feel that we are going to be lead by several clues…Lara I remember one of my dreams. It was of a marker in the middle of forest with those symbols on it.”

            Lara did what her heart told her to do. She couldn’t help herself. She got up and pulled the smaller woman into a loving bear hug.  Holding her tightly against her, she whispered into her ear, “Good work Sarah.”

            Sarah enjoyed the hug and the warmth of the feeling she got from this incredible mysterious woman. It confused her how much faith Lara seemed to have in her but she wasn’t going to let her down. “It was?” She asked when Lara pulled back smiling at her with such affection it touched her heart.

            Lara nodded, gently brushing hair out of Sarah’s eyes replying very softly, “Yes.”

            They again stared deeply into each other’s eyes. Lara had a deep bubbling urge she was surpressing because she sensed Sarah wasn’t ready yet. She took a deep breath pulled all the way back and asked her friend with a lift of an eyebrow, “Did you bring any suitable clothes for camping?  We are going to be leaving in an hour for adventure and I want you to be comfortable.”

            Sarah was surprised by the sudden change but she didn’t question it. She just nodded her head and said, “Yes, I have comfortable clothes and sensible shoes.”

            “That’s a good girl, now go on and change.” Said Lara wondering what was going on inside her. She felt such things before but she was never so intrigued by another human being before in her life. Xena is this how it all began with Gabrielle? She thought as they went to their rooms to change.

            Laura was alone in the forest.  She wondered where Sarah was but kept pushing on in the hope she would find her in the clearing that she saw up ahead.

            She had the feeling it wasn’t Sarah as she came to the edge of the light so she pulled her guns from their holsters.  She was in a shooting stance as she came face to face with a figure calmly sitting on a log.

            A deep sexy purr of a voice said quietly, “You can lower your weapons I’m not here to harm you.”

            Lara slowly lowered her arm as her eyes were met by amused sky blue ones. “Those are weapons, aren’t they? They look very efficient,” Said the beautiful warrior as continued to sharpen her sword.

            “You're Xena…what are…”

            “Shh, It’s ok. Sit down please.” Xena said calmly putting her sword in its scabbard and the sharpening stone in her saddlebag at her feet. Lara stared at the warrior for a minute and then she lowered herself to sit by her ancestor on the log.

            “I don’t understand. How can you be here? Where’s Sarah?”

            “You’re the one that’s a bit displaced right now. You’re in what I can only describe as another dimension.  It allows us to meet. To Sarah it will appear that you are off in a daydream. I needed to have a short talk with you and I do confess I really wanted to see and touch you. You are my granddaughter after all.”

            “Granddaughter?”

            Xena chuckled, “Well there are several greats in there it’s just easier to say granddaughter in casual conversation.”

            Lara slowly smiled and nodded.  Xena reached over and gently brushed some stray hair out of the younger woman’s eyes. Lara felt an immediate affection for this woman and she caught the large capable hand in her own and brought it against her cheek, “What can I do for you Grandmother?”

            Xena snorted and said, “I don’t fit that image do I? Lara, you are a lot like I was at your age. Smart and formidable. You were very luck though, you had your father who loved and protected you. Then Henry who gently guided you with affection and support. You had a lot of love in your life so you never fell to the dark side like I did. You have been on the brink but the memory of your father kept you safe from that fall. Now you have the purity of Sarah who will guide you to your true destiny. Sarah is a lot like her grandmother, My Gabrielle.”

            She sighed and gently pulled her hand away. She got up and started to pace as she continued, “Lara, I need to ask you to protect her. Please do a better job then I did. I can’t stand the thought of Sarah suffering like Gabrielle did. I allowed my own agenda and demons to distract and my poor love suffered for it. It caused such torment that it burnt her soul, she was so pure and I failed her. Please don’t allow yourself to do that with Sarah.”

            Lara was amazed there were tears in the worried blue eyes. She could see that Xena was sincerely worried about it. “Don’t worry I won’t…I couldn’t. Xena…I think…I already feel such a need to protect her and I hardly know her.”

            Xena was leaning against a tree across from her. She smiled slightly and nodded her head, “When you meet your soul mate it’s like being hit by lightning. It’s so fast and shocking.”

            Lara smiled and shrugged, “What else do you need me to do?”

            Xena smiled back and walked to the log sitting down next to the younger woman she said, “This time you will have to combine that great brain with your heart. It is very important that you find our tomb but it’s not a race. Each marker you come to is extremely important. Follow the path with your heart and don’t be impatient.”

            Lara nodded, She had already figured that out.

            Xena’s smile widened she reached out and gently cupped her cheek, “To find the first marker go north east for two days. Follow your heart, Lara and listen to your Sarah…”

            Xena’s voice faded and she found that a familiar hand was shaking her shoulder in a frantic gesture. She was staring at the fire and it was very dark around her. 

            “Lara…Lara…” It was Sarah’s voice that was now high pitched in worry.

            Lara blinked her eyes and looked into Sarah’s scared expression.

            “I’m ok, Sarah.”

            “I’ve been trying to break you out of that trance for fifteen minutes. Is that some weird form of meditation?”

            “Um, you could say that.  It seems it was the only way my ancestor could have a little chat with me,” she said with a smirk.

            “Xena?”

            “Yep, My beloved ancestor wanted to tell us where to go for the first marker…” she hesitated for a moment evaluating the green eyes in front of her and then pushed on, “She also wanted to tell me I needed to protect you no matter what…”

            “Why?  I mean I wouldn’t want to put you into any danger. Maybe I should head back…” said Sarah backing away from Lara suddenly upset. She was sure she would be an obstruction to the great adventurer.

            Lara gently grabbed her wrist and pulled her next to her on her blanket and sleeping mat. “Calm down, Sarah and sit here beside me.” Sarah sat down lowering her head and studied the pattern on Lara’s blanket. “Good girl, Now please listen to me. I really didn’t need her to tell me to protect you it was already a priority for me. My instinct told me that I not only wanted you on this mission that I needed you. You are as important to it as I am. I will protect you because I care, ok?” Asked Lara lifting the little chin.

            Sarah’s eyes met Lara’s and she shyly nodded.

            Lara pulled the smaller woman even closer into a warm embrace, “Great Grandmother also told me to follow my heart and to listen openly to yours.”

            “Mine?”

            “Yep, She said to be very patient that this was not a race. She also told me that each marker was important.” Their bodies were now quite close; their faces were almost touching their lips were barely a breath apart.

            “Lara?”

            “Sarah, what are you feeling right now?”

            “Funny.”

            “Describe it.”

            “My heart is racing and my stomach feels funny and…I….I…”

            “Yes?”

            “I think I want to kiss you…” She stuttered very unsure and trying to break away because she was so sure of Lara’s rejection. 

            Lara’s arms tightened around her shoulders and she said in a deep breathy voice, “That’s very good my Angel, because that’s what I want to do more then anything else on earth.”

 She brought the soft lips to hers and kissed her gently. The sweet lips were causing flames to shoot through but she moved very slowly. She caressed Sarah’s teeth with her tongue causing Sarah to open her mouth wide. Lara’s tongue hungrily entered reaching out to capture Sarah’s. They explored each other till they ran out of breath. When they pulled slightly back Sarah was about to say something when Lara gently covered her lips with a long finger and whispered in her ear, “Shh, My Angel I hear someone coming.”

            ***                  ***                  ***                  ***       

            Lara pulled the smaller woman with her and practically carried up a near by tree. She had the foresight to also grab Sarah’s knapsack with all their research in it. By the time the intruders entered their campsite they were safely situated on a large branch over looking it. She held tightly onto Sarah around the waist as she listened to the intruders beneath them.

            “Where the hell did they go!”

            “According to this bio-scan they were here…”

            “”Were” being the operative word. And that’s not good enough!”

            That’s Milton Whickam!  Lara thought angrily to herself. She hugged Sarah even closer rubbing her cheek against Sarah gently kissing her neck and giving her a reassuring smile when she lifted her head again.

            “We’ve searched the entire surrounding area and they are no where to be seen.”

            “Well they couldn’t have vanished now could they? Look at this place they were obviously here moments before we arrived the fires still going.  Keep looking. Peterson!”

            A tall attractive woman with cruel face appeared next to the rugged looking older man. “Yes Milton?”

            “Lara is good but you told me that this girl she is with is not in the business. How could they both have disappeared?”

            “Fairy dust?”

            Sarah quickly covered her mouth with her hand stopping a giggle that was about to break free. Lara raised the blonde head so she could look into the mirth filled eyes with her own amused ones and winked at her. She gently rubbed her belly with the hand around her stomach and rubbed her cheek against Sarah’s soft cheek.

            “Cute,” replied Milton, “She is after something important I can feel it in my bones. She wouldn’t be wandering in the forest with some amateur unless the girl knew something. My boss want to get the girl so he can get his hands on what ever Lara is after.”

            Over your dead body, Milton old boy. You will not lay a finger on my Sarah.  Thought Lara as she held her angel closer still. Sarah was frightened by what the man had said but Lara’s reassuring squeeze made her feel better. Lara watched critically as they searched her camp relieved that the logs and their research were safely on her back.

            “They are no where to be seen, Sir.”

            Milton growled at the unfortunate man, “Shit! Ok Landis lets try tracking in the forest around this glade.” He led the men out of the camp and into the woods.

            When she was sure that they were far enough away that they would be safe, Lara grabbed a nearby vine and tied it around both their waists and gracefully slid them back down to the clearing.

            Then as she untied Sarah she whispered, “Gather all our stuff we need to find a new place to set up camp…Then we will continue our discussion,” she told the smaller woman with a wicked smile.

            ****                ***                              ***        *****  

            They walked side by side with Lara keeping her eyes peeled for any sign of trouble. She spotted a strange formation of trees by a hillside following her instincts she found a well-hidden cave.

            “This will be a perfect campsite.” She said quietly as she led Sarah inside.

            Sarah nodded and smiled, “Yes, This is like one of the network of caves Xena had all over Greece.”

            “Really?” Asked Lara as they walked in finding a nice large area to set up their camp in.

            “Yes, When Xena was a warlord she used it as a hideaway for herself or a refuge for her wounded men.  After she reformed she used to surprise Gabrielle with them. Each one had some hidden treasure she knew the bard would love.” Said Sarah with huge smile as she set up their sleeping mats and blankets and pillows.

            “A hidden treasure? Like what?” Asked Lara curiously as she set up the heater and inspected the cave to see if she could spot such a treasure.

            “All kinds of things, mineral baths, natural saunas even a miniature waterfall. All kinds of lovely luxuries.”

            Lara looked at Sarah who was getting the food ready to be cooked.  “So Gabrielle liked her luxuries, huh?”

            Sarah innocently nodded her head as she started placing the dried meat and bread in two plates. Lara walked over to the mat Sarah was on and sat down next to her. She gently took the plates and put them to the side. Then she embraced the smaller woman bringing her close.

            “And is that something you share with your ancestor?”

            “No, I never have anyway.” Sarah admitted shyly laying her head on Lara’s strong shoulder.

            “Hmm, I’ll have to see what luxuries I can introduce you to then. Can you come closer, please?”

            Sarah snuggled closer still and looked into the passionate eyes that were inches from her. She swallowed twice and said very quietly, “Lara…Um I…never…um….”

            Lara kissed her cheek and softly stroked the soft blonde hair, “Shh that’s ok. We will go nice and slow. It will be gentle and beautiful. Don’t be scared Angel I just want to love you.”

            “I know that.” Sarah whispered back.

            Their lips met in a passion filled kiss this time Lara skillfully began to remove Sarah’s clothes. Sarah moaned as cool hands made contact with her hot skin. They continued down to Sarah’s pants as Lara whispered in the little ear, “Take my shirt off, Angel. I want to feel your little hands against my flesh.”

            Hesitantly following directions Sarah’s shaking hands slowly unbuttoned Lara shirt. Then pulled off her sports bra to reveal the dark woman’s amazing breasts to hungry eyes.

            “Stand up please my Angel,” Said Lara as she nibbled on her little ear.

            The two women got up so they could remove the rest of their unwanted clothes. Now standing and slightly separated they admired each other’s naked bodies. Sarah’s skin was tinged an appealing shade of red that Lara knew wasn’t from the heater.

            “You're beautiful, Sarah…”

            “No Lara, you’re the one who is beautiful.”

            Lara stepped closer and once again embracing the smaller woman luxuriating in the skin on skin contact. She kissed her passionately while her hands scooped her up and so she could settle them both on sleeping mat. Then her hand slipped down to beautiful breasts she was aching to touch and kiss and taste.

            Sarah was now beyond thinking and allowed Lara to lead her into her first experience since she really had no idea what to do. She floated out on the pink cloud of bliss that Lara’s kisses and caresses had sent her out on happily relishing each new sensation.

            Lara’s busy hands moved south and gently started to play with the soft hair at Sarah’s apex. She was holding back and moving slow instead eating up every inch of the beautiful woman as her passion demanded that she do. This was her Angel’s first time and she didn’t want to scare her. She wanted it to be beautiful.

            Lara enjoyed suckling the beautiful breast like hungry puppy while her hand busily readied Sarah for what was to come.  When she felt Sarah jutting against her teasing hand she started to kiss her way down to meet that hand. When she reached the belly button she couldn’t resist tasting her little one. Sarah’s reaction was very satisfying as she moaned and shuddered.

            Lara smiled and continued down to the piece de resistance. Lara tongue now entered Sarah’s very wet center. She caressed the piece of flesh that protected her clit with an efficient tongue. She pulled out and looked at Sarah’s face, her finger was now stroking the clit as Sarah moaned and pushed Lara toward her center not knowing what she wanted but knowing that she needed it now. Lara saw how close she was as she licked Sarah’s sweet ambrosia like a hungry kitten. As she enjoyed the sweet taste she knew it was time to penetrate the wall of protection. She very quickly pushed her finger through and then pumped till Sarah yelled Lara’s name fell over the edge in a quivering mass. Lara slowly removed her finger as she lapped every bit Sarah’s nectar like it was precious gift.

            Then she crawled up the sweating, quivering little body and cuddled close kissing her face till the glazed eyes opened.

            “Are you all right, Angel?”

            Sarah nodded not quite back from where ever Lara had just sent her. Then she blinked and she was herself again. She looked lovingly into Lara’s eyes and brushed back the hair that always seemed to fall into them.

            “Why do you call me Angel?”

            “Because you are,” said Lara sweetly as she brought the smaller woman very close kissing her cheek.

            “Are you all right?” Sarah asked quietly.

            “Of course, I’m very, very happy.”

            “No, I don’t mean that. I…um I…how about you…um….?”

            Lara smiled realizing what she meant and nodded her head, “Yep I’m fine. Don’t worry about that.”

            “Lara if you would help me I could…I want to please you…”

            “You already do please me and we need to get some sleep. Tomorrow is going to be a very long day.”

            “But…”

            “Angel, How about this, You get to do whatever you want with me tomorrow?”

            “How will you sleep?”

            Good question, Lara thought ironically to herself. She smiled at Sarah and kissed her deeply. Then when she pulled back she said, “I’m really fine.”

            “Lara…”

            “Sleep.”

            Lara cuddled with her and waited till she drifted off to sleep. Then she gently slipped out of Sarah’s arms and went just outside the cave opening that was hidden from the woods by high thick trees. She satisfied her needs muffling her cried into her own arm and then she went back and snuggled into the smaller woman’s embrace. She had a huge smile on her face as she thought; Tomorrow is going to be a hell of a day. She kissed Sarah’s cheek and snuggled contentedly against her as her body finally drifted off into an exhausted sleep.
