The Pilot

Chapter Forty Two

She smiled leading Danielle from the kitchen and up the stairs.

It was now a couple of days later. Stefania had been very busy with work & hadn't had much time to spend with Danielle - except for at night. Danielle had also been busy though. She'd had multiple phone calls with Andrew & contractors trying to sort out the bar. Everything was now coming together though and she was happy with the progress. There wasn't really much needing done. Just a bit of tlc to bring it back to how it used to be. There was however a lot of re-modelling needing done to the apartment upstairs. She was going to strip it back and make it a super cool loft space. She had also spent a lot of time out running. She always needed to run when she had things on her mind... and there was a lot on her mind. Stefania had been trying her best to reassure Danielle that she was all in but there was still that little voice in her head saying that Stefania would get bored eventually and find someone new. Someone more suited to her.

It was just a little before 9pm. Danielle was now lying in bed finishing a call with a contractor for the loft. Stefania appeared in the doorway of the bedroom but Danielle was so deep in concentration she hadn't seen the brunette.

Stefania stood there taking in the sight of the blonde. Her hair was in a messy bun, she had candy wrappers littering the top of the bed, she was frowning slightly as she looked at her laptop and she was the most beautiful creature in the world to the brunette. She really was falling for her... hard.

"Are you just going to stand there looking at me for the rest of the night or are you coming to bed?" Danielle asked with a hint of a smile not lifting her head from her laptop. "I didn't think you'd noticed me" Stefania smiled "but I am enjoying the view, yes" she said as she walked towards the bed and sat down at the blonde's feet. "When are we going back to Seattle? I think I need to be on site with the contractors now. They're starting to take the piss a little bit" Danielle asked with furrowed eyebrows. "I don't need to be there until next week Bambina but we can go whenever you want. I was thinking I would go see Marco & the Bambino tomorrow but I don't have to if you want to leave." Stefania said massaging Danielle's foot.

"No, no, the day after tomorrow will be fine. You can go see your friend. Hmmm, that feels so good by the way" Danielle sighed as Stefania continued to rub her feet. "Yeah? Maybe should I give you a proper massage. I could be your sexy massage therapist" Stefania smirked letting her shirt slide off her shoulders slightly. "Oh god, yes please!" Danielle groaned. "Ok Bella, let me go grab the oil. It's along in the other room." Stefania said hopping to her feet. "Wait, you have oils? Let's do it along there then. We don't want to have to change the covers on this bed before we sleep so let's just do it along there and who cares if we make a mess" Danielle winked, jumping out of bed and grabbing Stefania's hand.

"Ok then Bella, clothes off and lie face down for me" Stefania instructed the blonde placing a quick kiss to her cheek. Danielle lay face down on the bed as Stefania went to get the oil from the cupboard, returning a few seconds later, removing her own clothes as she went. The younger woman jumped slightly as the cold oil hit her skin. She wasn't long in heating up though. Stefania started at Danielle's ankles, her slender fingers kneading every muscle as she went. Her hands like magic relieving the tension as she moved further up the blonde's body. She worked up her calves, up the back of her thighs, giving her ass cheeks some special attention before repositioning herself. She moved so that she was now straddling the blonde sitting on her butt.

Now she got to work in earnest. She massaged the length of Danielle's spine, releasing each little knot along the way. She was now at the American's shoulders. Stefania leaned forward to place a soft kiss on the blonde's neck and as she did her breasts rubbed Danielle's back. The contact hardening Stefania's nipples instantly & pulling a breathy moan from Danielle's lips. "Flip over for me Bambina" Stefania whispered as she placed another kiss on Danielle's neck before sitting back up. Danielle quickly doing as she was asked, careful not to knock Stefania over. The two women just looked at each other with the Italian still straddling the younger woman below her. She once again put her hands to work. This time, working her fingers into Danielle's shoulders and down her strong toned arms. She gave each arm equal attention along with both hands. She couldn't help but marvel at the muscles in the biceps below her fingers. Danielle knew the effect her muscles had on Stefania and whenever the Italian's hands were on her biceps she would flex them, watching the brunette's eyes become wider each time.
