Hidden Desires (74 page)

T
HE FIRST THING Brooke was aware of when she rose to consciousness was the warmth, the next thing she sensed was that she was being stared at. Confused, she opened her eyes and gasped in alarm as she was nose to nose with La La. Reflexively, she tried to push the fat cat away from her face, when she realized she was trapped. Gathering her scattered thoughts, it took her a moment to understand that she had apparently fallen asleep after a night of making love, and was now wrapped in Cayden's arms. A warm feeling spread through her body and she sighed happily. Concentrating on the warmth of Cayden's skin where their bodies met, she snuggled her face deeper into the pillow and smiled.
This is pure heaven.
she thought,
I could lay like this forever.

Long peaceful moments passed, with Brooke contented to listen to her lover breathe in sleep.
She must look so sweet, so serene. I wonder if her mouth is open or closed. I bet her hair is a mess.
She wanted to turn around, longed to watch Cayden's beautiful face in repose, but didn't want to wake her up. Settling back down in the comfort of strong, yet soft arms, Brooke closed her eyes and soaked up the wonderful feeling.

"Wakey wakey corn flakey!" Wade shouted from somewhere.

La La jumped from the bed and tore for the door. It was then that Cayden stirred. She groaned and grunted and stretched her legs. "Why is my door open?" she asked in quiet, husky voice.

"I don't know, maybe Wade opened it." Brooke replied, fighting a shiver from the sound of Cayden's morning voice.

Cayden's head popped up fast and she stared at Brooke for a second or two. "Oh... yeah... cool." she mumbled, then dropped back down onto the pillow with a happy sigh of her own. "We fell asleep." she said, reminding herself.

"Looks like it." Brooke smiled indulgently as Cayden's arms tightened around her. "Mmmm. This is nice." Cayden nodded, and Brooke felt it on their shared pillow. "Your so warm and cuddly in the morning."

"You're not so bad yourself." The brunette replied.

"Ooo, you have the sexiest morning voice." Brooke purred, scooting her butt deeper into Cayden's body.

"Hey," Cayden chuckled, "What are you trying to do to me?"

"Me? You're the one with the melty voice."

"Melty? That's new." The shop keeper backed away and pulled at Brooke until she turned over. Looking into sleepy green eyes, she smiled. "Morning."

"Morning, yourself."

"Come on you decadent wenches! Some people have to work today!" Wade said from outside the door.

"We're not moving until there's coffee involved." Cayden replied, then grinned.

Brooke still glowing in the feeling of waking up with Cayden, giggled.

"What's so funny? Is my hair a nightmare?"

"Yes, but that's not what's funny." Brooke answered, attempting to smooth the brunette's unruly locks. "I just can't believe that we,
us
, who were at each others throats just a short while ago, are laying here contented in each other's arms."

Cayden snorted. "Yeah, imagine that." She moved her leg and slid it between Brooke's until it reached it's goal.

Brooke groaned and squeezed the long leg with her own. "What are you doing?" she asked with narrowed eyes.

"You wanna?"

"Now?" Brooke asked in surprise. "I haven't even brushed my teeth?'

"Your teeth aren't what I'm interested in, actually." Cayden said with a devious smirk, rubbing her thigh against Brooke's sex.

"Oh.... mmm.... Cayden! Stop that!" She said with a laugh. "Wade's right outside, probably making us coffee as we speak."

Cayden pouted dramatically. "You're no fun at all."

"Oh, yes I am." She glanced towards the door for a few seconds. "Fine. You let me brush my teeth and you can have anything you want." Brooke replied with a devious smile of her own.

The brunette perked right up. "Okay!" She disentangled herself from Brooke and sat up. "Go ahead, brush quickly, I'm next."

Brooke jumped out of bed, and looked around for her clothes. Just then Wade tapped at the door.

"Knock, knock, is everyone clothed?"

"NO!" Brooke yelled and jumped back into bed.

"Well, I'll just leave this here..." he backed into the room and placed two mugs of coffee on the dresser. "Brooke, your mother called at 6 this morning. Boy, were her panties twisted."

"Oh my god! Where did she get the number from?"

Cayden wrapped an arm around Brooke and sighed.
That'll teach me to put the phone in my name.
"It's alright, she should really have the number, you know, in case of an emergency or something."

Brooke hung her head and groaned. "Oh, is she gonna let me have it."

Cayden scowled, now that Brooke's mother was involved, the blonde certainly wouldn't want to fool around. "Wade, why'd you go and tell her that for?"

Wade turned around, in hopes they were covered. "Hey, I didn't want to break up the after sex snuggle any more than you did. It's her mother, she should know." he replied defensively. If he had to wake up at 6 to speak with Harriet, someone else should suffer too.

"What did she say?" Brooke asked, a nervous expression on her face.

"She wanted to know if you were here. She was just dying to know more but I wouldn't say anything." He smiled broadly. "Just look at you two! Snug as two bugs in a rug!" Wade jumped into bed with them and hugged them. "OOooo, I could just eat you both up!"

Fabulous." Cayden muttered under her breath, trying to push Wade off of her naked woman.

"Oh my god, you two stink like s..e..x!" he declared, and ran off the bed with the willies.

Cayden rolled her eyes. "Well, that'll happen." she replied sarcastically. "No one told you to jump in bed with us."

"I thought it was cute." Brooke said, blowing a kiss at Wade.

"Thank you." He blew one back. "I like this. I like having Brooke here in the morning, she gives the house some class."

"Hey!" Cayden replied, throwing a pillow at him.

Wade ran away from the pillow like it was on fire. "I can't be smelling like vagina, I work in an underwear store! " He smelled himself. "Smell me, quick!" he asked Brooke.

"Nope, you smell fine to me."

"How would you know? You have
her
up your nose. Oh ew, now look! I'm talking like a lesbian!"

Cayden and Brooke watched as Wade ran out of the room, his shirt halfway over his head.

"You know, I should call my mother." Brooke said with a sour face.

Cayden frowned. "Damn."

Brooke smiled and kissed the brunette on the lips. "After I get of the phone, I'm getting right back into this bed and letting you have your way with me."

"Woohoo!" Cayden bounced up and down. "Well hurry up then." she swatted Brooke's butt playfully.

"You wont be needing this." The blonde said as she pulled the blanket off of the bed and wrapped it around her.

"Hey! You can't leave me here naked! I have to go pee!"

"Throw something on." Brooke said with a cheeky grin as she left the room.

Cayden couldn't help but smile at the swathed blonde as she waddled down the hallway. "Wade, can you bring me my coffee on your way out?"

 
*  *  *

Brooke pulled the phone away from her ear and grimaced. "Yes, ma... I know ma... I swear I will next time....." She winked at Wade as he passed her by, wearing a completely different outfit. She saw him heading towards Cayden's room and tried to get his attention, but couldn't.

"AAAAAHHHH!"

Wade came barrelling past her waving his arms in the air frantically. "My eyes! I'm blind! I can't see!!"

Brooke covered her mouth and stifled the laughter. "Nothing ma, it was Wade, he saw a bug. Yes, I will call next time. No, I don't think I gave you 32 new gray hairs. I think you grew them all by yourself. I'm going now.... I don't know when...later... MOTHER! I'm going now!" She hung up the phone and took a deep breath.
Boy, she sure was mad.
She then opened and re-wrapped herself in the blanket, her lips pursed.
Maybe I should go home.... calm mom down. Then again, Cayden is waiting for me, naked...

Wade kissed her on the cheek. "I'm leaving. Put a towel on the couch if you're gonna sit on it naked."

Brooke glanced over at the front door as Wade left for work.
We're all alone and Cayden's naked.
A wicked grin spread across her lips.
Mom can wait.

The brunette was all washed and brushed when Brooke reappeared in the bedroom. Blue eyes watched hungrily as the blonde dropped the blanket and approached the bed. "Well, hello there." Cayden drawled, opening her arms.

"Hello to you too." Brooke replied as she climbed on top of her naked lover. "Mmm, I love how your skin feels against mine. It's so soft, no scratchy hair."

Cayden chuckled. "I should hope not." She pulled Brooke down for a kiss, and hummed as their lips met. If it were up to her, she could kiss Brooke all day. She slid her tongue over and around the blonde's, smiling to herself at the joy she felt in doing so.
I can't believe this is really Brooke.
she thought. She couldn't figure out how it went from a screaming fight outside her shop to this. She shrugged.
Who really cares?

Brooke ran her hands through Cayden's hair, enjoying the feel of it as it slipped through her fingers.
God, this is so not a man.... this is perfect.
She squirmed on top of Cayden, recapturing the feeling of their skin meeting.
Mmm, yes.... perfect.

Cayden dragged her fingertips down Brooke's back and settled her hands on the blonde's backside. She caressed the silky skin, and sighed when Brooke shivered. "Want me to get the blanket?"

Unhappy that Cayden broke their kiss, Brooke pouted. "Nope." she shook her head and sucked the brunette's bottom lip.

"Mmm. I like that." Cayden whispered.

"What else do you like?' Brooke wondered. Drawing back to look into the tall woman's eyes.

"Huh? I like a lot of things."

"No, I mean sexually, what do you like? What can I do to make you feel good?"

"You're doing just fine." Cayden emphasized her statement with a squeeze of Brooke's butt. "What do
you
like?"

The blonde smiled. "Baby, you seem to know exactly what to do."

"Really?" Cayden asked.

"Oh, yeah, exactly what to do." Brooke rolled off of her lover and shot Cayden a devilish look. "Come over here and prove my point."

"You don't have to ask me twice!" The brunette pounced on Brooke with a growl.

 
*  *  *

The couple eventually peeled themselves apart and Cayden saw Brooke off. She sat down on the couch and revelled in the last kiss goodbye. A bright, genuine, smile lit up her face as she relived the moment. La La hopped up onto the couch and head-butted her. She absently pet the fat cat and sighed happily. "Well, La La," Cayden propped her feet up on the coffee table, I had me a hell of a night."
