Justice Deferred

Chapter 25
The tall biker lay in the king sized bed, her much smaller blonde
lover lay beside her, molded to her body. The green-eyed center of the biker's
world was practically purring, as Cam stroked her soft shining golden hair. Cam
knew that her entire future rested in the heart, mind, and soul of the
beautiful emerald-eyed attorney that was laying as much on her as next to her.
She knew she and this incredible woman, that had waited faithfully, for three
years for her tall dark biker to be finally released, completely free and
clear, from the state penitentiary where they had met, both victims of a
serious miscarriages of justice, and apparently were tied together by destiny.
No matter where Cheryl went, Cam knew she would gladly follow, knowing from
deep in her own heart and soul, that wherever Cheryl was, would be her home.
She was now aware that her home would never again be a place, but it would from
this time forward be a person, this person. A dark wave of panic set in when
Cam's dark side began talking to her, asking all those hard questions, that
normally she'd never consider, but after Debra Kreel, her mind would never allow
her to blindly, set herself up for that kind of pain again.
What if she really doesn't want me but she was afraid or worse just felt
obligated to be here? Cam's dark side asked What if she just came here
to dump me and last night was just pity sex? How will I live without her? Where
will I go? If she leaves I'm doomed to live forever alone. I don't want to make
her think I don't trust her, but we have to know where we stand
Cheryl knew something was bothering Cam, she could feel the biker's incredibly
hard sculpted muscles tighten and the change in her breathing. She looked up
and saw the far away look in those amazingly alluring blue eyes.
What is she thinking? Cheryl wondered Why isn't she looking at me? Oh
Goddess, please don't let her be tired of me already. I know I'm not near good
enough for her, but I was really hoping we had a chance. Oh well what can I do?
If she doesn't want me I guess I'll just go away and live my life lonely and
alone till I die. NO, Goddess don't let this happen, give me the strength to
fight for her. We belong together, we are both so much better together than we
are alone. She's meant to be mine and I'll not give her up without a fight.
They lay there deep in their own thoughts until Cam finally worked up enough
courage to speak what was haunting her mind.
"Baby?" the black haired biker asked quietly.
"Huh?" Cheryl answered worried about what was coming but feeling
confident enough to face it head on. "What is it sweetheart?"
"We really need to talk." Cam said sadly, absent-mindedly stroking
the attorney's soft golden hair, a part of her subconscious reveling in the
sensations. "I know I just got out, and you've had three years where
you've grown, and progressed and changed. Where as I have spent those years
suspended in time. I am almost exactly the same woman I was when you walked out
of that cell block three years ago."
"I know sweetheart, I haven't gone a day without worrying about you, stuck
in that Hellhole. Wondering if you were alright, or if you were hurt or
sick." Cheryl whispered her voice choked by emotions, her emerald eyes
shining with three years of unshed tears. "I had to work so hard, just to
keep myself from going insane with fear for you, but it was the nights that
were the worst. Laying there in my bed alone, with only my memories of your
touch for companionship. I can finally admit it now, it was a hell on earth
existence. I missed you so badly, it hurt deep down inside, I didn't think I
could survive it alone."
Here it comes, stupid. the voice of Cam's dark side told her this is
where she tells you that she love you but she's found someone else to spend her
future with. Someone that was there for her, when she needed them, someone
who's reliable, someone that hasn't spent the last six year in a kill or be
killed environment, and isn't an ex-con. I knew she was too good for me, and
now she's figured it out too. Get ready you worthless old whore, this is where
she dumps me for someone that truly deserves a perfect angel. Someone that has
never killed anyone, that won't taint her beautiful unspoiled soul with the
blood and darkness that is plainly there on mine.
As she was speaking Cheryl looked up when she became aware that her saddly
insecure lover had gone completely silent. The loving gentle hand continued
stroking her hair, but the powerful arm around her waist tightened. Those
amazingly beautiful blue eyes had taken on a far away look. Cheryl then saw
that tears were falling silently from her lover's beautiful blue eyes.
Oh no, I bet she thinks I'm going to leave her Cheryl thought as she
remembered just how insecure her lover was since the incident with Deb Kreel,
and how damaged Cam's self esteem was as well I've got to do something so
she'll know I'll never leave her, that I'd rather die, than betray her in any
way. Oh my Goddess, she probably thinks last night was pity sex
Cheryl reached up and cupped Cam's chin in her hand and got the frightened
biker to focus her attention on the compelling emerald eyes of the woman that
loved her, without reservation.
"Honey, please let me finish before you make your judgment about us will
you." Cheryl asked simply and softly putting her faith in the tall dark
woman's sense of fairness, and honor.
"I'm sorry Cheryl, it's just that you're so young and beautiful."
Camilla whispered, her sweet velvet smooth voice so low Cheryl could barely
hear her, the pain and fear nearly screamed to Cheryl, begging for the blonde's
reassurances. "You've become so much more than the frightened little bunny
I found that day in the showers, surrounded by jackals. Me, well, I'm still the
same old feeble hardcase, attempting to be a poor woman's Batgirl, running
around saving damsels in distress. Hades, I'm not even that any more. How could
someone as wonderful as you want anything to do with a burnt out lowlife that
like me? Not to menti..."
Cam was stopped by the gentle touch of two soft fingers on her lips. Her
shining tear filled light blue eyes looking deeply into bright emerald eyes,
searching for some sign of deceit or a note of deception, any sign of potential
betrayal. All she found was compassion, acceptance, need, desire and most
importantly deep all consuming, unconditional, love. Cam also saw silent tears
of worry and concern for her, in the emerald eyes that were the windows to her
future.
"I know I've changed my love," Cheryl began trying to put her deepest
most intimate feelings into words that would calm her lover's fears. "I've
been outside those drab walls, out here where time passes. When I was put in
that place I had given up, all my hopes and dreams were over, that day in the
showers I was sure I was going to die. I...I..."
Cheryl was stopped for a moment by great heart wrenching sobs that wracked her
body, like grand mal seizures. After several deep calming breaths, the young
attorney regained enough control to enable her to continue.
"I just knew that I would die a slow painful death at Val's hands, I could
read it in her eyes. Then a miracle happened." Cheryl continued her voice
still hoarse from her sobbing and her eyes shining in the light of her returned
dreams and renewed hope. "Just when I thought I'd lost everything, a dark
beautiful avenging Goddess appeared in that cold tiled room. With just her
words she dismissed the cruel and evil woman, and her followers as if they of
no consequence what-so-ever. I think I fell in love when you handed me a towel,
and made that joke about not everybody that was in prison was nice."
Both women chuckled nervously at the memory, when Cam recalled making the joke
in an attempt to keep the little new fish from losing control. Then there were
a few heartbeats of silence before Cheryl once more picked the thread of her
history.
"You know Camilla, I loved you even before I met you." Cheryl said,
hoping that what she was about to tell her beloved Camilla wouldn't make her
think she was completely crazy or scare her off, but either way, Cam might
leave her.
She knew that she had to tell Cam the truth, no matter what happened, so she
could see what the little blonde already believed, that she and Cam were
destined to be together forever.
"Ever since I was a small child I've had a dream, every time something bad
or scary happens, or when ever my life was turned up side down, which seems to
happen a lot." Knowing the chance she was taking Cheryl was still
determined to continue. "It always starts out that I'm in some kind of
terrible danger."
Cheryl's alluring emerald eyes, went out of focus, and her mind traveled to
ancient lands and haunts, where the small blonde's fear lived, just waiting for
the opportunity to attack and defile her fragile psyche.
"There's someone chasing me, I've never been able to see the faces of my
demon attackers, but I know if they catch me, I will be brutally and slowly,
painfully murdered," the blondes voice reflects the shear terror she'd
experienced and her eyes are wide, as she recalled the recurring visions that
had beleaguered her since she was a child. "I scream and scream for
someone to save me, until I lose my voice, but no one answers my pleas. The
demons keep after me relentlessly, hunting me, determined to have me. I don't
know what or who the demons are, but eventually they corner me. I try to fight
them off with all my strength but the demons are too strong for me. The demons
take great pleasure in disarming me easily, while all the time they are
taunting me, telling me what they are going to do to me. Things so horrifying
and terrible that my mind can never recall the specific details of their
threats. Then just as they closing in to claim me as their prey, and I am sure
all is lost, a warrior attacks my enemies, placing herself between the demons
and me, so they have to go through her to have me. She is amazing she uses two
swords and moves faster than the eye can follow, only the gleam of the sun off
the highly polished steel of her blades allows me to follow her actions. Cuts
and slashes appear on the demons as if by magic. With a berserkers strength she
vanquishes the demons, destroying them all, leaving no survivors. She has saved
me, and when she comes to me, she pulls me into her powerful arms holding my
trembling body and calming my fears. I feel
safe and warm in those arms, my heart soars at her touch. In that moment I know
in my soul that even though she is a fearsome and ruthless warrior, merciless
in her anger, and deadly in her attack, I know that she will never harm me.
That all she wants is to keep me safe and secure, from all that would do me
harm. I know in my heart I am home in this woman's powerful arms. Wherever she
goes, I will follow, because it is my destiny. I look up, but for some reason I
can never see her face, but I can see her eyes, and when I look into them I
fall into their sky blue depths that wash away all my fears and discontents.
That's when I know for sure, I have found my other, that my soul has found it's
mate. My heart is full, for she is my one true love. I had always thought this
perfect vision of love lived only in dreams, only there, would I ever find the
love I have craved."
"Then suddenly my dreams came to life, I was trapped with no way out and
just when I was sure that the demons had won and I was going to die, this dark
avenging Goddess appears, and saves me from the evil that was about to destroy
me." Cheryl looked up into those amazingly blue eyes, her own emerald
greens projecting the love, devotion and unending admiration. "Then I
looked into your eyes, and I knew it was you all along. You are the warrior of
my dreams, my long promised love. My one true destiny."
Cheryl stopped and looked up into the questioning cerulean eyes of her destined
lover, and gave her a nearly blinding smile, showing her Camilla, all the love
and commitment she felt for the dark brooding woman. Cam knew that the tiny
woman in her arms had just admitted her undying and never-ending love. That she
was placing her very existence, into the Creole woman's mercy. Cam looked at
the small blonde beauty in her arms, studying her as if they'd never met
before. She had never seen anyone so totally open, so completely vulnerable to
the whims of another, as Cheryl was at that moment. Not only had she professed
her love for Cam, she had also just given the tall stoic biker the freedom to
walk away if she wished, to be free of any ties or commitments she may have
given Cheryl.
"Oh baby that was the most incredibly beautiful thing I have ever
heard," Cam began once she found a way to speak around the giant lump in
her throat. "I have little doubt of your dreams, they are similar to
visions I've had since my youth. I have always seen a breathtakingly beautiful
woman, with hair the color of summer wheat and emerald green eyes that shined,
many times brighter then the stars, with more love and courage than any other
human could possess. She would stand at my side throughout our lives, through
all the good times, and especially in the worst of times. Always stead fast in
her love for me, giving me the strength to fight on. I was shown that our love
was so great that even after we died, we would still be joined. I knew the day
I saw you get off that bus, you were the one I had searched for my whole life.
When I looked into your eyes I knew I would love you, even after I've drawn my
final breath. Our love goes
far deeper than our weak flesh; it goes all the way to the soul, my beloved. I
believe we have loved before, in other lives, and that we will again over and
over through all our life times, until eternity has ended. I will stay with you
as long as you allow it, I know it won't always be easy, but if we stand together,
there is no storm we can't weather."
Unable to say any more the women kissed, gently at first, then building into a
burning all consuming, mid numbing kiss that left them both breathless and
oxygen deprived. Smiling at each other they settled comfortably back into the
bed, silently enjoying the warm safe feeling of having each other, until Cheryl
broke the silence.
"You know Camilla, I saw a huge Jacuzzi in the bathroom," the small
mischievous blonde said as she slipped out of bed. "My muscles are awfully
sore after last night's aerobics, and well...I've never made love in a Jacuzzi
before."
She blushed brightly at her own boldness, then the wonderfully naked blonde
stood and stretched, giving her lover one of the most spectacular views Cam had
ever been privileged to see.
"Holy Goddess!!! Cam muttered as she watched the naked woman of her dreams
stroll slowly and sensuously across the room. "What ever I did it must
have been simply amazing."
Cheryl stopped at the bathroom door and looked back over her shoulder at her
blue eyed lover, her own emerald eyes smoldering with a desire that promised to
become a raging inferno at her lover's first touch.
"Don't make me wait too long lover," the gorgeous blonde purred to
her lover "I need my Camilla, reeeeeeaaaaal bad."
The woman's sultry smile froze Cam in place for a heart beat, her mouth
suddenly too dry to allow her to speak.
Like I said, I don't know what I did, Cam thought as she fought through
the covers or what I had to suffer to deserve her, but by all the Gods, I
swear it was worth it
The tall woman launched herself from the bed and bolted to the bathroom and
disappeared through the door from where squeals of surprise and delight soon
turned to splashing waters accompanied by the moans and gasps of desire and
pleasure, that eventually gave way to cries and screams of ecstasy.
