When her breathing calmed Sandy sat up, reaching down and pulling me up so she could kiss me. Her kiss was powerful, filled with desire and passion, and I could feel my resolve to stay in control evaporate as my spirit surrendered to the powerful presence of my lover. I could feel her take charge as she lowered me down to the mattress."Lay on your stomach baby."I obeyed, placing my face on my hands, which I crossed under my head. Sandy straddled my thighs, her hand running freely down over my back and rear. She squeezed the bare skin of my cheeks. "God, you're amazing." Her hands ran back up to my shoulders, massaging my back.She pulled at the straps of my sheer bodysuit, and I maneuvered my arms so that she could start peeling it off. She pulled it down, exposing the whole of my back, and I sighed as her strong fingers dug into the muscles along my spine. It was divine, and I could feel the tension of the day flowing out of my body. Her thumbs dug into the base of my back, and I g

I put my arms around her, laying my head on her shoulder. I didn't even care if anyone else was watching. I just wanted the woman I loved to hold me, and she did, rocking me back and forth gently as she whispered in my ear."Do you have any idea how beautiful you are, Melanie? It doesn't matter what they think. Seeing you in anything here would send my heart racing."I sniffled, pulling away slightly and looking up into Sandy's eyes. "I love you."She ran a hand over the side of my face, brushing my dark hair away from my cheek. "I love you, too. Pick something out to wear for me tonight?" Her intense eyes flashed with desire, and I knew exactly what I wanted."Fine. You go over there while I look. Okay?"She moved away, her smile making me shiver in anticipation of everything it promised. She took the basket, and I hunted through the racks until I found what I was looking for. I went up to the counter and bought it without showing it to her. The mean girls were long gone by the time

"We talked about other stuff, none of your business stuff, none of it having to do with sex between the two of us. And then we hugged. It lasted maybe two or three seconds, and was very platonic. Then we went inside.""What happened then?"Paige shrugged. "I worked on homework at the dining table while Coach made dinner. We talked more, mostly all about Field Hockey, the team. I asked her stuff about college, where I should go, things like that. And then Mom and my brothers got home.""Satisfied?" I glanced back and forth between the two men, who exchanged a significant look. This was clearly not what they had been expecting."We have other reports of her being at this house.""I would imagine so. She's been here a lot. Like I said, we're seeing each other." I sighed. "If you want, I'd be glad to confirm the dates and times.""Okay." Miller looked at his partner. "We need to go talk to the captain."He nodded, and they both stood. I walked them out, mostly to make sure they actually g

"Neither was Sandy." I looked up at the other parents. "Have any of you seen these pictures? I mean, they weren't published with the article.""And you have?" Mary Ann Ellis, Kaylin's mother, answered."Of course. They have to do with Paige, after all." No point in beating around the bush, especially since Renee knew exactly who the girl in the pictures happened to be. My admission caused a general murmur to run through the assembly. "I'm sure Renee had already told you that, or maybe just insinuated it. She's the one who took those pictures after all, or paid for them, anyway.""I just wanted to be sure that she didn't have anything to hide. Most people do, after all." Her voice was thick with innuendo.I closed my eyes. I can't believe I'd been so stupid. If the Perry's had had a PI following Sandy, of course she knew about the two of us. We hadn't really tried to be very clandestine, after all. Of course, that meant she knew from the start that Paige and Coach Dalton weren't sleepi

The rest of the week passed slowly. I could tell that Paige was doing her best to focus on the upcoming game. The story on the news wasn't going to just disappear, so on Wednesday we met with the school's lawyers, and with their help Paige released a statement to the media describing Sandy as a family friend, and that there had never been an inappropriate relationship between them. Being eighteen, Paige didn't need my approval, but I was glad she wanted it all the same. We also sent a copy to Bill, but we didn't wait for his okay, not that he had any problem with it.I did have to deal with an enraged phone call on Thursday from my mother once Paige's name got printed in the paper. How dare I drag our family name through the mud before my brother's campaign and all that. I let her go on for a few minutes before cutting her off."I told you before. I wouldn't hang a perfect stranger out to dry over a lie, let alone the woman I love. All we did was tell the truth."That made Mom splutte
