Stolen Moments Ch. 02

Guilt welled up inside Nicole and she sat staring at the ocean.

What I said was true. 100%. She told herself.

It's what you didn't say that's bothering you and you know it. You didn't tell your husband you're falling in love with Cynthia.

Nicole stared out the ocean.

What am I doing? Am I being fair to Cyn? Am I being fair to Nick? Am I just being selfish?

Several minutes later Nicole still didn't have an answer, she shook her head and stepped back inside their suite. She consulted the room service menu for a few minutes, before ordering as quietly as possible. The food and drinks arrived surprisingly quickly. Nicole met the attendant out in the hall, tried unsuccessfully to tip her, before she quietly carried everything back in the room. She poured a cup of coffee for Cynthia and herself, arranged a plate of fruit for both of them, and then carried everything carefully into the bedroom.

"Good morning sunshine." Nicole said softly and sat on the bed.

Cynthia groaned loudly. "Ugh. You're such a morning person."

"Sorry. I can't help it." Nicole said softly.

"I may have to kill you before this vacation is over." She winked at Nicole. "Give me the coffee first."

Nicole smiled at her and waited until Cynthia was in a sitting position before she handed her the coffee. The fruit plate found its way to the nightstand and Nicole slid over next to Cynthia.

"Coffee's good."

"I'm glad. I left a voicemail for Nick." Nicole said abruptly. Cynthia didn't respond, so Nicole continued. "I let him know everything's ok."

"Is everything ok, Nikki?" Cynthia's voice was soft.

"No." Nicole looked up at her girlfriend. "Not even close. I'm having so much fun and I'm so happy, I think I'll burst." She shrugged. "I just didn't want to tell that to my husband via a voicemail and now I feel guilty about it."

Cynthia put her coffee down, before laying back down next to Nicole. "Don't feel guilty, honey. Nick approved this vacation. You're not hiding anything from him and you're definitely not lying to him."

Nicole nodded. "I know."

"Want me to call him?" Cynthia offered and tweaked Nicole's nose. "I'll let him know his wife is having a great time and she'll be back in no time."

Nicole laughed and rolled her eyes. "Yea. He'd love a call from you." She paused. "Did you tell him about the whole Olivia/Lesbian thing?"

Cynthia's face turned red.

"Oh my god." Nicole sat up. "You didn't tell him, did you?"

"No." Cynthia sat up as well and smiled guiltily at her girlfriend. "Nick wasn't comfortable with this vacation and if he knew it was for lesbians, I knew he wouldn't approve it." She shrugged. "I'm sorry and I'll apologize to Nick when we get back. I just wanted us to take this vacation so badly."

Nicole leaned over and kissed her cheek. "That's ok. I let him know already. I told him he didn't have to worry about me meeting any cute guys and that I'm in no danger of becoming a full-fledged lesbian."

"He's going to be pissed isn't he?" Cynthia asked.

"Hmmmm. I don't know. Nick's pretty easy-going. He'll probably think its funny, especially we tell him about my reaction, when I finally figured it out." Nicole paused. "Besides, I'll simply remind him that we could have gone to a resort where there were a lot of single guys."

"Ooooh. Good point." Cynthia picked up her coffee cup and sipped it. "That's how I'll spin it with your husband. I'll tell Nick that I didn't want you to run into any single guys, like Collin."

Nicole laughed and leaned her head against Cynthia's shoulder. "Cyn, you don't have to spin anything. Let's just let him know and see how he deals with it." Nicole smiled at her. "He'll be fine."

"I hope so." Cynthia said after she took another sip of coffee. "I genuinely like your husband. He's a really good man and that's saying something these days." Cynthia slipped a slice of melon in her mouth and chewed it slowly.

"Last night was fun." Nicole said smiling at her girlfriend.

Cynthia set her coffee down and hugged Nicole tightly. "It was, wasn't it?"

"Yes. It was the first time we didn't have to worry about time or kids or husbands or anything." She kissed Cynthia's cheek. "I loved it. All of it."

"All of it huh?" Cynthia teased. "Even the toys?"

"Especially the toys!" Nicole replied quickly. "It was erotic and hot. Holy cow, I lost track of my orgasms."

"Five." Cynthia said quickly. "I counted five."

Nicole's mouth dropped open. "Is that right? Well did I return the favor?"

"Hmmmm. I only remember four, so you owe me at least one more."

"Bitch!" Nicole pushed Cynthia back and straddled her. "I'll give you one right now!" She started tickling her girlfriend. Cynthia hated being tickled.

"Stop. Stop it!" Cynthia wriggled out from under Nicole and scooted off the bed. She held her hand out. "Stay away from me, you sexy little bitch. You know I hate to be tickled."

Nicole laughed. "That's why I love to do it." She paused and shrugged her shoulders. "Now that you're awake you want to hit the gym."

"I hate you!" Cynthia replied.

"Yea yea. You didn't hate me last night and something tells me you're going to LOOOOVVVEEE me tonight baby-girl." Nicole lifted her t-shirt and flashed her boobs at Cynthia.

"Yea you're probably right." Cynthia slipped her panties and t-shirt off and stood naked in front of Nicole. "Ready for a work out?"

A full hour later, Nicole and Cynthia entered the gym, smiling widely. It was a two minute walk to the gym.

I love morning sex, Nicole thought as they surveyed the gym. It's almost as good as 'after workout' sex.

They didn't get to work out together often, but they'd done it enough to have a routine. Being an athlete, Cynthia had a specific work-out program she followed. It worked, because her body constantly stayed below 10% body fat. It drove Nicole nuts.

Nicole on the other hand, knew just enough to be dangerous in the gym. She focused on the major muscle groups and lots of cardio. She liked to start with weights and end with cardio.

It keeps my ass from blowing up. That's all the matters.

Bottom line, Nicole and Cynthia limited themselves to 90 minutes. No matter where they were in their workouts, they both stopped at 90 minutes and left the gym. Cynthia kissed Nicole before they parted and stared at her ass as she walked away.

I love it when she wears yoga pants, Cynthia thought lustily.

Nicole loved that they could be so openly affectionate with each other. As she passed a window, she caught Cynthia staring at her ass. She stopped, looked back over her shoulder at her girlfriend, and then patted her ass. Cynthia winked at her and walked over to the treadmills.

Nicole started on the leg machines and got to work. While she'd never been an athlete, she took fitness seriously and she watched her diet. The gym, or fitness center, wasn't very full when they entered, but it quickly filled up. Nicole had moved onto the squat rack and began her first set of 10. When she finished a voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Mind if I work in with you?"

A gorgeous, petite Asian woman stood next to the squat rack smiling. She was slightly shorter than Nicole and she had the most delectable curves Nicole had ever seen.

Wow, Nicole thought to herself and barely kept from drooling.

"Not at all." Nicole replied. "It looks like this is the only squat rack in the place."

"Thank you. I'm Michelle." She held out her hand and Nicole shook it. They were both wearing weight lifting gloves, so it wasn't sticky or awkward. "Nicole. Nice to meet you."

"Same here." Michelle smiled warmly at her.

"Do you need to reset the weight?" Nicole asked.

Michelle shook her head. "Nope, but would you mind spotting me?"

"Sure." Nicole moved behind her.

"Thanks."

Michelle moved under the bar and lifted it easily. She whipped out 15 reps, with no hesitation and perfect form. It was obvious she didn't need a spotter.

"Wow." Nicole said after Michelle put the weights back. "Nice form."

"Thanks." Michelle moved back and made room for Nicole.

Nicole finished another 10 reps and struggled a bit on the last few. Michelle put her hands on Nicole's waist as she pushed upward and her touch almost broke Nicole's concentration. Nicole managed to get the bar back.

"Good set." Michelle complimented her. "You have good form as well."

"Thanks."

Michelle didn't move back under the weights. She stayed next to the squat rack and smiled at Nicole. "Please tell me you're single." She asked bluntly.

Nicole laughed and shook her head. "I'm sorry Michelle. I'm here with my girlfriend." Nicole looked over at the cardio machines. Cynthia was getting off her treadmill. She had obviously seen Nicole speaking with Michelle. Cynthia looked curious and surprisingly serious, not quite upset, but not relaxed either.

Sort of casually suspicious, Nicole thought.

Cynthia walked up and forced a smile. "Hey babe. Who's this?"

Nicole replied calmly. "Cynthia, this is Michelle. She spotted me while I did my squats."

"It's nice to meet you." Michelle held out her hand. "Nicole was just telling me she was here with her girlfriend. Wow, you two are a gorgeous couple."

Cynthia took her hand and her smile warmed up considerably. "Thank you."

"Well, I don't want to intrude on your workout." Michelle replied. "It was nice meeting both of you, maybe we'll see each other around."

"Nice meet you as well Michelle. Take care." Cynthia replied.

Nicole waited until Michelle couldn't hear them and turned to Cynthia. "What?"

"Don't you what me, missy." Cynthia growled playfully. "I saw her hitting on you."

"Cyn." Nicole rolled her eyes. "Michelle didn't hit on me. She just asked if I was single and I told her no. Immediately." She stepped forward and put her arms around Cynthia's neck.

"I'm all sweaty." Cynthia protested.

Nicole tightened her arms and pulled her close. "I don't care. I will never betray your trust Cyn. You're the only woman I want to be with, I promise."

Cynthia's eyes grew watery and she nodded back at Nicole. "I'm sorry I'm so jealous."

"Don't be. I know it's only because you care and because you love me." Nicole kissed her softly. "It's ok. Let's go. We've had enough of this kind of exercise." She took Cynthia's hand. "Besides, I saw a bikini in your suitcase that I am dying to see wear on the beach."

Cynthia laughed. "I'll go naked, if you'll continue putting up with me."

"Now there's an idea!" Nicole replied.

They walked slowly, enjoying each other's company, holding hands and swinging them back and forth as they strolled through the resort.

"It surprises me how diverse the lesbian community is," Nicole said quietly. "I guess I thought other couples would be like us, but I realize now that was just stupid. There are all kinds of women here and honestly, it's really cool."

"It's a community, just like any other." Cynthia replied. "It's just all women."

"You're right. It's nice to see how happy these women are with each other. I don't think I've seen this many smiles in one place, in my lifetime." She slid her arm around Cynthia's and pressed her body up against Cynthia's as she walked. "I'm smiling a lot too, by the way."

Cynthia smiled briefly at Nicole, before continuing. "Unfortunately, this is one of the few places that Lesbians or Bi-Sexual women, can be themselves without being judged or harassed or worse." She paused. "Hopefully that will change someday."

"I think it will." Nicole replied. "It should. It's long overdue."

"Aren't you a republican?" Cynthia asked.

"Ssssh." Nicole whispered dramatically. "If people knew that, they might evict me from the resort." Nicole joked and then turned serious. "I'm catholic too, Cyn, and I'm raising my girls to be Catholic as well. Happily."

"You're in quite a catch-22 situation then aren't you?"

"Maybe." Nicole allowed. "I struggle with it, sure. It's not easy. I just see how happy these women are with each other and I won't say it's wrong. You see the love in their eyes. True love. The kind of love that you don't see often, even with heterosexual couples." She sighed. "And I think of how I feel about you and then I stop caring whether it's right or wrong. It feels right. It feels pure."

Cynthia stopped. "Yes it does. I was raised a Christian as well Nicole. I know the struggle you're talking about, but this." She motioned between them. "Doesn't feel like struggle to me."

Nicole stepped close and kissed Cynthia. "Me either."

A few minutes later, Nicole ran a sponge slowly over Cynthia's skin. She loved to watch the water and soap stream down her body. Her girlfriend patiently turned this way and that, so Nicole could wash her from head to foot. Unfortunately, Nicole wasn't tall enough to wash her hair. Cynthia preferred to do that herself anyway. Nicole ran her hands over her soft skin, as Cynthia rinsed off. When she was finished, Nicole gently moved her to the nearest wall and knelt in front of her.

"Baby, you don't---." Cynthia protested gently.

"Shhhh." Nicole interrupted. "I want to." She looked up at Cynthia. "Please."

Cynthia nodded, leaned back against the wall and spread her legs slightly. A second later, she gasped, as Nicole's tongue slid softly against her lips.

"Mmmmm. I love your touch." Cynthia murmured and closed her eyes. Pleasure surged through her.

Nicole focused on bringing Cynthia as much pleasure as humanly possible. Her hands slid up the backs of Cynthia's thighs and cupped her ass firmly. She pulled Cynthia to her and slid her tongue slowly along the outside of Cynthia's lips. Nicole flicked her tongue against her clit and was rewarded with a loud moan.

I'm good at this, Nicole thought happily. She looked up at Cynthia. Her body is soooo, sexy.

Another loud moan emanated from Cynthia and Nicole slid her hands away from her ass and let them roam over her waist and stomach. Cynthia's athletic body came with a firm, flat stomach that Nicole secretly envied. Moans were coming quicker now, more urgent, and Nicole focused harder on Cynthia's clit.

Bingo! Nicole though happily as an orgasm erupted through her lover.

Cynthia braced herself against the side of the shower and rested as her orgasm subsided. Nicole learned quickly that Cynthia became super ticklish after she had an orgasm, so Nicole gave her a little space and just enjoyed the feeling of giving her girlfriend pleasure. When she was certain Cynthia wasn't going to fall over and hurt herself, Nicole turned and started washing her body.

Arms encircled her stomach and she felt Cynthia press herself against her back. Soft, gentle kisses covered her neck and shoulders.

"Thank you." Cynthia said softly.

"You're welcome, Cyn." Nicole said quietly. "But you don't ever have to thank me. I enjoy doing it. I should be thanking you."

"Mmmm. How did I get so lucky?"

"Are you sure you're lucky? Not cursed?" Nicole asked quietly.

"No." Cynthia kissed her neck. "I'm lucky."

"Well, Miss Lucky. I'm going to wash my hair and then I want to hit the beach with you. Ok?" Nicole asked. "If we stay in this shower, we're going to have more sex, our skin will prune and we'll be too tired to go out tonight." She turned and looked at Cynthia. "And you're taking me out tonight."

"Yes ma'am." Cynthia replied. "I'm going to dry off and get dressed. See you in a second."

"K."

The beach was crowded, but they were still able to get two lounge chairs, under an umbrella. Towels were provided for the hotel and drinks were delivered, so all they had to do was lay back and enjoy the beach. Cynthia took her time putting sunscreen on Nicole. Nicole didn't mind. Thirty minutes and three coats of sunscreen later, Nicole was safe from any UV monsters.

"My turn." Nicole replied and took the sunscreen from Cynthia.

"Need any help with that?" A voice asked.

They both turned and saw Michelle standing a few feet away, smiling and shading her eyes with her hand. She was wearing aviator sunglasses that really looked good on her and the bikini she wore, made both girls drool a little.

"Hey Michelle." Cynthia said. "Nicole and I can share a chair, if you want to join us."

"Are you sure?" Michelle said. "I don't want to intrude, although I think this is the second time I've done it."

"C'mon." Nicole waved her over. "Before we drag you over here."

Michelle laughed and sat down on the chair next to Nicole and Cynthia. Nicole nudged Cynthia and looked meaningfully at Michelle, before squirting some sunscreen on Cynthia's back.

"Michelle." Cynthia began slowly. "I'm sorry if I was abrupt earlier. I didn't mean to be rude."

Michelle shook her head. "Don't worry about it. I'd be protective of her too." She motioned to Nicole and then smiled at Cynthia. "You can make it up to me though."

"Oh Yea? How's that?"

"Let me help Nicole put sunscreen on your body."

Nicole laughed and clapped her hands. "Get over here!" She motioned Michelle over.

Cynthia laughed. "Ok, but if you try anything, I'll kick your ass!"

Michelle and Nicole shared the sunscreen and they liberally coated Cynthia's body. It didn't appear to bother Cynthia at all and she lay back and smiled. "Wow, this is nice." She snapped a finger at Nicole and pointed to her stomach. "You missed a spot!"

Nicole glared at her and squirted a big splotch of sunscreen on Cynthia's stomach. "There!" Michelle laughed and helped Nicole rub in the last of the sunscreen.

"Thank you ladies." Cynthia said after they finished.

"So you're here all by yourself, Michelle?" Nicole asked.

"Yes." She smiled nervously. "I decided to take a chance and see if I'd have any fun. Olivia has several mixers for the single folks and they've been fun so far." She pointed at a blue bracelet on her wrist. "They give the single folks a bracelet, so we can identify each other." She shrugged and smiled at Nicole. "I noticed you weren't wearing one, but I hoped you'd forgotten it or something."

"Well, since you're here all by yourself, perhaps you'll let Cynthia and I help you with your sunscreen." Nicole asked. Cynthia gave her girlfriend a playful glare and looked back at Michelle. "We'd love to help you with your sunscreen Michelle."

Michelle laughed. "Sounds good to me."

Cynthia, Nicole and Michelle bonded over sunscreen, margaritas and a beautiful beach. The hotel allowed them to keep their chairs, even if they went into the water, so the ladies all enjoyed the water together. Cynthia and Nicole both agreed, unanimously, that Michelle looked amazing in her bikini. They spent most of the day at the beach, enjoying the water, the drinks and the company. When they finally got enough sun, all three headed back to the hotel.

"Michelle." Cynthia started. "You're welcome to join us for dinner." She offered. We'd love to have you, seriously."

"Thank you." Michelle replied. "I really appreciate it, but there is a singles dinner and I want to see if I can meet someone." She smiled over at them. "I'm really hoping one of you has a twin and they're single!"

"Sounds good. Enjoy your dinner." Nicole replied.

"You too!"

Cynthia looked at Nicole, after Michelle walked away. "She's nice."

"Yea, she is, I hope she finds someone." Nicole replied and then looked up at Cynthia. "Can I ask you something?"

"Sure, baby."

"Are you done with men, Cyn?"

Cynthia's eyebrows raised. "Where did that come from?"

Nicole shrugged. "I'm not sure. It's just that I notice women now." Cynthia cocked her head, in confusion, so Nicole tried to explain further. "I mean I notice women, like I used to notice men. I see them as attractive in a way I never used to."
