Chapter 11

When they parked outside of Tori’s place, it was past closing time. The lights in the store were dimmed, but not entirely off.

“It was nice of Ray to close for you and leaving the lights on,” Madeleine said as she cut the engine. “It’d be kind of a dark walk to your apartment, otherwise, since the switch is so far away from the front door.”

“Yeah, right?” As nervous as she had been at first when the party began, now Tori didn’t want the night to end. Most of the guests had been not just courteous, but complimentary when Madeleine introduced Tori as her girlfriend. They had asked some questions that resulted in awkward, almost giddy moments, such as how long had they been together? How had they met? And was Tori accompanying Madeleine to England after graduation?

The last question left Tori wondering, too. She’d heard plenty of times that maintaining a long-distance relationship was difficult, but the more time she spent with Madeleine, the less time she wanted to spend away from her. It was the last thing she wanted to think about, though, when the night had been so special.

“Come upstairs,” Tori said as she opened the car door.

“This late?” Madeleine asked, glancing at the clock on the dash.

“Mmhm. I promise, if we fall asleep, it won’t be with our clothes on.”

“In that case, I’m in.” Madeleine removed the key from the ignition and followed Tori, pausing only to lock the car and activate the alarm.

The moment they were upstairs, Tori pulled Madeleine into her embrace. Anticipation had filled her all night long and she was finally ready to be with Madeleine, to show her how strongly she felt about her. The way their lips molded together was perfect, like two halves that had finally found where they belonged. Madeleine’s arms felt so right around her. Tori reached up to frame her delicate face between her hands and then threaded her fingers through that short hair so Madeleine couldn’t go anywhere. Every logical thought she had was fleeting, giving way instead to emotion.

It was a heady sensation – this inability to think and only to do. Tori let it pull her under, let it overwhelm her, so that all she could do was go with the flow.

Their progress toward the bedroom was like a slow dance, with them turning, kissing, holding each other, swaying in place for a moment, and then turning again until they made it through the door. After years of burying her feelings, Tori knew loving Madeleine was the only thing she wanted to do. She kept the petite woman’s body against hers as she lowered her hands to find the zipper on that beautiful silver and blue dress.

Madeleine seemed eager to help, because she reached back and guided Tori’s searching hands to the zipper. Tori’s fingers closed on the piece of metal and slowly tugged it down. For every tug, Tori pressed her lips to Madeleine’s throat for a kiss. To her delight, Madeleine clung to her and dropped her head back.
