The Apple... Ch. 06

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree

Chapter 6

"Come on lazy bones. Time to wake up." The soft words penetrated through the fog of sleep to rouse Jules. "This is your first lesson in sleep management, my love."

Opening one eye, she saw the beautiful face of her lover. 'No, of my wife.' Jules thought. 'We exchanged vows before the Universe. We are one now and forever.' A huge smile on her face, she lunged to throw her arms around her Ari's neck and bring their lips together. "Good morning my love!"

Laughing, Ari replied, between kisses. "My love, morning has gone by while you slept. I had an early class as a Teacher's Assistant and another one as a mere student. Then I went to pick some more groceries."

"Do you think Sarah would mind if we used her bed or should we move to yours? I have this powerful urge to make love to you right this moment."

"Considering the night we have spent here with her, I am certain she would not begrudge us the use of her bed for a few minutes."

"A few minutes!" Juliette growled as she pounced on her lover, pinning her to the bed. "What little opinion you have of my love for you." Holding Ari's hands to the bed, she went on to show her just how much she did love her.

Once she had kissed, licked, nibbled and bit all she could reach in this position, she mock-growled to Ari. "Whatever I do, keep your hand there. Do not move them."

"I promise, my goddess. Your wish is my command." Ari replied with all the seriousness she could muster. It didn't look too convincing as she had a wide smile and her eyes sparkled with merriment.

Jules proceeded to demonstrate her love on Ari's body from head to toe with her hands and mouth. As she lowered herself along her lover's body, she rubbed her breasts on Ari, adding the caress of her turgid nipples. She also grinded her dripping vulva on Ari, mixing her love fluids to the sweat beading on the body beneath her. As it reached her feet, Jules surprised Ari by reaching between her legs and pulling one foot to caress her own hot sex.

Ari was hard pressed indeed to keep her hands immobile as the rest of her body trashed, but she did, even when Jules sat up on her knees and wiggled to penetrate herself with her lover's toes, all the while maintaining eye contact. Ari stopped moving to avoid hurting her with her toenails. She was enthralled by the imagination this woman brought to their lovemaking. 'She is a force of Nature. How else can I explain this? Two days ago, Jules did not even know the concept of an orgasm or even masturbation and now she is showing the creativity of a seasoned lover. Though her body seems to loose itself in abandon to lovemaking, I can see in her eyes a mind in complete control of her actions.'

"Look at me my love. I'm making love to your body as I'm taking love from it. We are one, my Ari."

"We are one, my Jules. I see the love in your eyes and I feel it flowing into to me. I could never have imagined feeling this. As you are using my toes inside your sweet vagina, I can almost feel them inside my own. As the pleasure rises in you, so it does in me."

Their eyes locked, Ari immobilized by her lover's will, she nonetheless felt herself soar on the waves of pleasure flowing between them. As Jules raised her second foot to rub her clitoris with its heel, bringing herself ever closer to ecstasy, she went on. "Your hands do not move. You do not touch yourself and neither do I, save for your feet against my sex, yet you can feel the orgasm getting nearer. Your body is on fire. Your mind is no more in control. Your soul is one with mine. What I feel you feel. You will come with me, my love."

"Yes my Jules. My body, my mind are yours as yours are mine. Come for me. Take me with you. I looooovvvve yoooouuuuu!" This last as they both lost themselves in a paroxysm of physical, emotional and spiritual pleasure.

As she thought she would come down from this delicious high of sensuous rapture, Ari felt Jules take out her foot from her cleft. To her amazement, she proceeded to suck each toe sensuously, licking the top and sole of her foot clean also. She repeated the process with the other foot before making her way up the body under her. 'Surely, she is coming to lie with me as we recover." Ari thought. But Jules had other ideas. As she kissed her way up Ari's legs, she lifted them so she could lick and nip behind her knees, sending shivers up and down her lover's spine. She then spread her legs and made her way up one inner thigh with lips and teeth. Ari's hips bucked up seeking the ultimate contact with the loving mouth torturing her but Jules skipped to the other thigh with only a nip and a flick of the tongue on her inflamed sex. When she felt Ari of the verge of apoplexy from need, she raised her head and reaching, stroked her lover's cheek tenderly.

"Does my high priestess want something from her goddess?"

"I abase myself to your greatness and pray that you stick your lovely mouth to my sex and lick and suck me into oblivion, ô mighty and all powerful Jules."

"It is my pleasure to answer the prayer of my faithful servant." And she did without further ado. In seconds, Ari was blown away by a powerful orgasm as Jules licked and sucked all the tasty secretions flowing from her vagina. When she felt Ari's vagina walls grab her invading tongue as she reached the pinnacle of bliss, Jules attacked her clitoris and sending her in orbit, crashing from one orgasm to the next."

"Stop! I cannot take it anymore! Yes! No! Yes, like that! I love your tongue on me! Keep it up!" Delirious with pleasure, Ari did now know what she was saying, what she wanted. I was too much but she wanted more. Would it never stop? No, she did not want it to end, ever.

Holding on to the trashing hips, Jules kept raising the bar for her lover. She had already had an orgasm without touching herself as she listened, tasted, smelled, felt and looked at her beloved Ari and she was well on her way to a second even more powerful one. While she concentrated on bringing her lover to higher heights of pleasure, her mind was essentially a blank, caught in its own rapture.

**********

When Ari regained consciousness she felt a weight at the apex of her legs. Looking down, she saw Jules' head resting on her pubis. She could only look lovingly at her wife, her soul mate, the woman who brought her such joy, both physical and emotional.

Jules felt a peace with the universe. This must be heaven but it did not feel like the heaven of the priests. The wonderful smell permeating the air was not the cloying incense of the church, but a living scent, a promise of life and love. The warmth she felt against her face as all-encompassing as the sun's. Yet the tickling on her ear was off-color in the serenity of her environment. Reflexively, she batted at the offending sensation. Unfortunately, it was a hairy vulva she hit.

"Ouch! Watch where you are slapping!"

Startled she lifted her head. "Oh, Ari, I'm so sorry. I had this wonderful dream and I thought some vegetation was tickling my ear." She went to her lover and embraced her. "Hum, Ari, you can move your hands now, love."

"Oh! I had not realized! I cannot believe I did not move them through all that, even when I passed out. What did you do to me? And how did you take control of my body like that? It was astonishing, incredible, astounding..." She would have gone on, on the verge of hysteria, but Jules shut her up with a passionate kiss.

"It's all right, my love. We made love together. I don't understand it either. If that's what it feels like to be soul mates, I'm all for it."

"So am I, my love. It felt as if we were a single body and what you felt, I felt. And through the pleasure, I could feel your love enveloping me in its warmth. It was unearthly."

"I know, dear heart. It was the same last night with Sarah. You did not notice because you were so caught up in the moment."

The lovers embraced, Ari's head pillowed on Jules chest. "I love you, my Jules."

"And I love you, my Ari."

**********

"So, did I hear you say something about a lesson in sleep when you woke me up? It seems counterintuitive to me." Jules asked.

"Sleep management, my love. Let me explain. Your body is naturally tuned to the cycle of the sun. It has been programmed that way through evolution for millions of years. That's why we do not see well in the dark like cats, for instance. We are essentially a diurnal specie but the advent of artificial lighting upset the natural balance."

"Well, I can purrrrrrrr like a cat." Jules said, rubbing her head on Ari's neck in a most feline way.

"Yes, I know you can and if you will release my breast and nipple from your hand, I will continue my explanation."

"Didn't I tell you before that you're a spoilsport?"

"Indeed you did, but this is important. I will not always be there to pick you up when you faint in the library. And since you work mostly alone, it could be dangerous. What if you hit your head harder than last Friday evening?" Ari pleaded, real concern in her voice. "Please, my love. Do it for me if not for yourself."

Seeing the distress in her Ari's eyes, Jules hugged and kissed her. "You are right, my heart. Of course, I will listen to your lesson. I promised to be an attentive pupil, didn't I? I was just teasing you. I did not want to trouble you so. Teach on teacher, I'm all ears, mouth, lips, hands, breasts, sex..." Jules went on, unrepentant.

"Oh you. If I did not love you so much, I would spank your lovely bottom this very minute."

Jules affected her most innocent look as she took Ari's hands in her own. "Is that a promise, madame professor?"

"No, I would not promise to do violence to a student, but..." Pulling Jules off balance, she brought her across her legs and laid an arm across her back, pinning her in place. "I can punish an unruly child for not taking her teacher seriously." The first slap on her round bottom surprised Jules, but Ari knew she had enough padding to absorb this light blow.

"You're a brute taking advantage of an innocent child." The next slap was a bit more vigorous. "Ouch! That hurts, you meanie."

After the next few slaps, Ari rubbed the reddening cheeks tenderly. "Does my student wish to register a complaint regarding my teaching methods?" As Jules opened her mouth to respond with a cheeky comment, another slap resounded in the room, then another and another, each followed by a squeal that was replaced by a mewling sound as Ari caressed the assaulted areas.

During one of these resting interludes, Jules raised her head and looked at her tormentor through the tears filled eyes. "You're a beast. Why do you do this to me? Don't you love me anymore?"

"Of course I love you, you silly goose. Do you really think I would do anything, anything at all to hurt you?"

"What do you call beating me half to death then? Those were not love taps on my ass?"

"They were not?" Ari asked with a show of surprise. "Then why have you not moved from my lap? I have not held you since after the first few slaps. And unless my nose and eyes are playing tricks on me, I can smell your arousal and see your vagina leaking profusely."

"What?" As it was brought to her attention, Jules saw Ari's hand on the bed beside her, felt her love secretions dripping on her thigh, and, most importantly, she found that the heat in her nether regions which she had attributed to the rush of blood to her cheeks as they were beaten mercilessly by this delicious, lovely woman, was also centered on her inflamed sex. "But... But how is that possible? You were beating me. And enjoying it, I'm sure. How can it excite me? That's impossible."

"My love, you do not listen very attentively, do you? I told you to listen to your body and that every part of it is connected somehow. I'm not saying that you would like it if I really hurt you. Your body would react reflexively to protect itself. You would have no say in it. Nature built safeguards in each and every one of us." Ari went on, caressing Jules's face with love. "What I'm saying is that you know I would never hurt you. So your body interpreted this for what it was: a loving caress."

"But you were hurting me."

"Was I? Think back on what you were feeling. Did it really hurt?"

Confused, Jules searched her memory for the sensations she had felt as she was spanked. "Okay, maybe it did not hurt so much as it stung like the devil."

"So it stung a little as I slapped your cheeks, but what did you feel when I caressed them between slaps?"

"I... It was... It was extremely erotic and just before you stopped, I felt as if I was going for the biggest orgasm." Jules was amazed as she voiced those feelings like they were new to her. "But how come I didn't realize this as it was happening?"

"Because, my love, you did not expect it. Your body was reacting to the stimulus at the autonomous level. The next time, you will expect the reaction and you will be able to concentrate on it and enjoy it more fully. Remember Saturday when we spoke of my spanking your beautiful bottom and I told you we would come back to it later? Well, lesson taught and learned, I expect? Now back to sleep management..."

"You are a brute and a sadist and if you don't spank me again this very minute, I swear I will put you across my own knees and redden your ass until you beg for mercy. Now get to it, teach, and refresh my failing memory with this lesson."

Laughing as Jules resumed her position, bottom lifted to give her a better target, Ari proceeded to renew the cycle of slaps and caresses, varying the numbers and rhythm. When her lover began to squirm and grind her sex on her leg, she added another variable to the equation. Every so often, instead of a gentle stroke on the cheeks, she slipped her hand on Jules vulva, just for a stroke, or she dipped a finger between the blood engorged lips or strummed the fully erect clitoris.

"I can't take much more of this! Make me come you cruel, cruel person. What have you done with my Ari? She would never do this to meeeeeeeee!!!!" When Ari thrust two fingers in her vagina while stroking her clitoris vigorously, Jules was overcome with ecstasy.

***********

After catching her breath, Jules turned over to better hug and kiss Ari. "Ooowwwww!" She returned to her former position most quickly, rubbing her tender bottom. "You didn't have to be so enthusiastic about it. Now I will never be able to sit again."

"I admit to putting some feeling into it, but it was only to make it a better experience for you, my love."

"I heard you laugh all through it. And you are still laughing at me, you meanie."

Unable to restrain herself anymore, Ari fell back on the bed, laughing uproariously. "I am so sorry, I cannot help it. If you saw yourself pouting so, you would laugh too."

Jules held the offended victim pose as long as she could, before joining Ari in laughter.

"Where were we in the lesson on sleep management before I so rudely interrupted you by getting myself pummelled black and blue?"

"Spanked, my love, there is a distinction and your bottom is a lovely shade of red, not those ugly colors."

"Well it sure feels like it. You just wait 'til we play the mommy/daughter game."

"I look forward to it my love. Just remember that you do not play this game unless you are with somebody you trust completely."

"If you doubted it at all, let me tell you that I'm a one woman gal. I have absolutely no intention or desire to play with anybody else but you. And don't raise your eyebrow at me, missy. Sarah is the single exception to the rule and only because she means so much to you, my love."

"I know and I can assure you that I feel the same way. How can any woman be attractive to me when I have you in my life? I am not exactly sure what happened with Sarah last night. It almost feels as if I have always loved her but could never tell her and certainly not act on it like we did. It is as if when I fully accepted how much I love you and the undeniable bond between us, I felt secure enough to express my deep friendship for her because there could never be any confusion as to what the feeling was. I cannot yet explain to you what she has meant to me over the years, but I will, my love. You already give me the strength to think about it without breaking down like I did Friday. Your love will allow me to talk about it someday, soon I hope."

"I'm glad I'm helping and I can wait for the details. I will always be there for you, you know that. And between Sarah and I, we will help you heal completely. I promise." Jules said, projecting all her love through her words. "Oh, don't start crying. I didn't mean to upset you, my love."

"I am not crying because I am hurting. These are tears of happiness, my Jules."

**********

"So, explain how waking me up after only half a 'night' of sleep will help me be less tired as I work through the night." Jules asked.

"It is simple, really. How would a 24 hours day go for you if you had a day job?"

"I would get up half an hour before I had to leave for work, do the usual things we all do in the morning; I don't need more time because I don't eat a big breakfast; go to work for nine or ten hours; come back home; relax for a little while; make and eat supper; do the dishes and some chores around the apartment while listening to the radio; take a bath; then go to bed. That's about it."

"And why do you not do the same thing now that you work nights?"

"Because the noises of the street and the light, even with the drapes closed, disrupt my sleep and I wake feeling almost as tired as when I went to bed. I tried to simply displace my sleep to fit the same routine, but it doesn't work. I can sleep fairly well until noon or one, then every noise seems amplified and I keep waking up."

"When you get home after work, are you tired?

"Of course I'm tired after nine hours at work with only a half an hour break to eat lunch. That's why I manage to sleep deeply for a few hours."

"There is an experiment I want you to try this week and Saturday morning you tell me how you feel. Do you trust me, my love?"

"Do you still need to ask? You should know by now that I trust you implicitly. I let you beat me up didn't I?"

"Yes, you did and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I needed to let off some steam badly and 'beating you up' was just what the doctor ordered." Ari laughed.

"That quack must be a former Nazi who got his medical licence from the Gestapo and I'm beginning to wonder which side you were on over there." Her smile and the loving hand on Ari's arm let her appreciate the joke without reliving unpleasant memories.

"Maybe so, I never checked the degree on his wall." Ari went on with a grin of her own. "Back to the subject, I want you to get four or five hours in the morning, or as much as you can get of the deep sleep; get up; do whatever you want to do; then go back to bed roughly four or five hours before you have to get up to get ready for work. What do you say? Are you willing to try this?"

"My love, I will try anything if I can feel better rested. So now that I'm awake, I can do whatever I want?" Jules said with a wicked grin.

"Did you not get enough? I swear I will not survive your insatiable hunger. You need to go home, to..." Ari began.

"Noooooo!" With a wail, Jules threw herself at Ari, clutching at her desperately. "I am home! With you! You are my home!"

"I know, my love, I know. I meant that you have to go get some clean clothes and things like a robe, slippers, and such."

"Oh! That's okay then. Will you come with me?" Jules hid her smile at the pun, but Ari noticed a wandering hand making its way down her back and she could guess its goal.

"Yes, I will go with you to give you a hand." Ari continued, showing Jules that she could play with words too... among other things.
