Caught

Chapter 5: Squeaking noise

"And then he thought he could run away from us, but he ran straight into a pole!" Stef told Lena, who gasped and giggled. "He was immediately unconscious, so we had to wait before we took him into custody. We couldn't just cuff him and have him wake up in the back of a police car." They both laughed.

They had been telling funny stories about their workdays to each other. Stef encountered a lot of interesting people throughout her day, and the kids at Lena's job often pulled pranks or did amusing things. Brandon had been asleep for a couple of hours and Stef and Lena were cuddling on the couch on Stef's balcony, finishing their glass of wine.

Lena was laying between Stef's legs, resting her head and back against Stef's chest. Stef was stroking her fingers through Lena's hair, happy that she finally stopped straightening it and let her curls be free. And Lena was happy to be with someone who loved her and her curls, and didn't want her to hide them.

They were quiet for a while, enjoying the sounds of the city and just soaking up these moments alone together. When Stef tried to stifle a yawn again, Lena grinned and stood up, surprising Stef.

"Where are you going?" Stef asked, whining, as she was enjoying Lena in her arms.

"Come on, we're going to bed", Lena said, as she pulled Stef up and dragged her inside.

They parted ways as Lena went to check on Brandon, to see is he still was asleep, while Stef blew out the candles and put their glasses in the sink. They could do the dishes tomorrow, right now she just wanted to go to bed and spend more time with her girlfriend.

When Stef entered her bedroom, dimmed the lights and closed the door, Lena was already taking off her clothes, getting ready for bed. Stef joined her and put both their clothes in the hamper. They always slept naked. Although it was a bit risky with a six-year-old boy in the house, they took the chance as they enjoyed that closeness and enjoyed their skin touching. Besides, Brandon knew he had to knock before entering Stef's bedroom.

They brushed their teeth, standing side by side, occasionally not so subtly bumping into each other, their hips brushing against each other. They continued getting ready for bed and, as always, Stef was finished before Lena. Lena always moisturized, rubbing body lotion all over, especially on the dry spots such as her elbows and knees. Stef didn't have the patience for that, plus, she enjoyed watching Lena. Lena always and still felt a bit shy with Stef watching her moisturizing while she was completely naked, but she also liked the attention and the fact that Stef enjoyed it so much to watch.

Stef was laying under the covers, propped up on her side, waiting for Lena. She held the sheets up for Lena to climb in under them, now they were both nestled warmly under the bedsheets. They lay on their sides, facing each other, both softly smiling.

"Glad to finally have you to myself", Stef said.

"You've had me to yourself all evening, woman", Lena teased.

Stef groaned, at the remark and at the word 'woman'. It always got to her. Lena recognizing her as a woman, as her woman, never got old. "You know what I mean", Stef grumbled.

Lena feigned innocence, "I have no idea, please, do enlighten me."

Two could play this game, Stef was also great at teasing. Stef scooted closer, her face near Lena's, their lips almost touching. They could feel their breaths on each other's lips. Stef licked her lips as she looked from Lena's lips to her eyes, a look of hunger and lust seen in Stef's hazel eyes, making Lena gulp. "I mean, all to myself. In my bed. Naked." Stef whispered, looking pointedly and directly into Lena's eyes, causing a shiver to run through Lena's body.
