This calls for a fucking celebration Elise screamed as she stared at the reels of photos that Terrence showed them as they all bundled around him staring at the screen of his digital camera.

Six hours later after dramatic makeup modifications, pose after pose, and over fifteen wardrobe changes the desired photos for the collages were selected.

High fives and triumphant wails erupted as the small group took joy in their accomplishments. Excited chatter fills the room as they shared laughter over a few mishaps and it was clear that comrade was created from today's impromptu event.

Who would have considered that after the start of her day, she would be smiling and enjoying the rest of her day? Kessa thought as she leaned against Tim and bask in the aftermath of their accomplishment.

He wrapped his arm around her waist as his eyes followed Tyra about the room.

Kessa smile as she looked up at him. "She's pretty ain't she?"

His eyes darted to hers as he drag his gaze from the woman who was chatting with Dakota and grinned.

"Heard she'll be working at the gym," she said giving him a playful nudge as she moved from his embrace. "And speaking of the gym I have to go got me a rescheduled class in less than an hour."

Tim gripped her hand before she could move away and asked his attention fully on her. "How are things with you and the Ice Queen?"

Kessa's smile faltered and she tried to regain her composure. "There is nothing between us Tim we had her once-in-a-lifetime moment, that's it. I am Tiana's employee and she's my boss."

A frown creased Tim's forehead as his handsome face took on a look she could not read.

"Kessa I think you need to be less rash with Tiana there is more to her being who she is underneath the arrogant authoritative bitch," he told her causing her to glare in surprise at him.

"No, I must be hearing wrong. You siding with  Tiana?!" Kessa said with a shocked chuckle.

He took a glance around the room as if not wanting to be overheard. "Take it from me when I say Tiana really cares about you and not just some trivial emotions but something happened to her that has made her close herself off from the kind of love she knows you require."

"Did something happen between you two?" Kessa asks her heart beating like a kungo drum in her chest at the anticipation of his answer.

"After I left your apartment the other evening we sort of had a confrontation…"

"What?"

"Kes listen to me don't give up on Tiana, there is that part of her that wants to break free but it's tangled in some past hurt that you'll have to help her mend," he returned ignoring the million questions that waved about in her one word.

Kessa stared at him as if searching for the answers she sought but rationality gave way and she said.

"Well just so you know Tiana does not need me she has Pixie and the other long line of crushes that are waiting to offer her all her fetishes and dirty whims."

"Kess you h–"

"No Tim," she said putting up her hand to cut him off. "I have been broken by love too but in the end, I was willing to freely try again and what did I get nothing. Tiana only loves her gym nothing more. I won't compete."

"This is not a competition," he returned hoping to let her see reason.

"Why are you so hell-bent on fighting for Tiana? I know you detest her," she asks.

"I don't detest Tiana. I just understand she's broken and if you walk away she'll never make it."

Her mind drifted to the scene of her and Pixie and her heart flutter with the pain of what she witnessed. 

"I think Tiana has her coping mechanism Tim she doesn't need me," Kessa said moving away. "I need to go."

Tim said nothing as he watches Kessa make her way to the powder room. He sighed and leaned against the wall. He thought back to his encounter in the ring with Tiana. He closed his eyes as the images ravaged his mind's eyes.

He had only intended to show her that it was not degrading to be submissive, to give someone else control and freedom over your true feelings

He knew all too well what it was to be broken. Life had dished him out some cold ones but in the end, he had found his way to fight all the dreaded circumstances and eventually let go of them but it was clear that Tiana has her baggage like a noose around her neck and it was slowly stopping her heart.

It was sad to see that beneath the hard I don't give a fuck exterior was a vulnerable being hiding in its shadows. He feared also he might have made the situation worse by getting carried away the other night. 

He was seriously ruminant he might have gone overboard. But Tiana West rubbed him the wrong way and he wanted to bring her down a few notches.

Shit, no use crying over what was gone and done. He had other things he'd like to pursue…things that were petite and tempting with curves to entice and whet the appetite.

Maybe he could have a one-one celebratory dinner with Tyra. There were other pleasing accomplishments he would like to focus on.

As Tim was thinking of Tyra Kessa was face-to-face with the novelty that was Tyra Townsend. In the double cubicle of the store powder room that housed the toiletry facility stood a semi-nude Tyra and a fascinated Kessa who for the love of her could not take her eyes off the lower half of the woman in front of her.

Where dicks suppose to look so intriguing?

"Aww sorry, I never realise you were in here," Kessa said getting a hold of herself as Tyra stood frozen before her.

"Shit I thought I locked the door," Tyra said pulling herself together.

"I should probably leave you to get dressed," Kessa said moving to the door.

"Noooo!" Tyra said hurriedly reaching out to stop her, the sudden movement bringing them inches apart. "Please don't I think they will wonder why you left without changing."

"They don't know…?" Kessa said realizing immediately what she meant.

"No," she said looking to the door and then back at Kessa with troubled eyes. "I…well…you se…see."

"Hey relax, your secret is safe with me," Kessa said honestly and smiling assuredly to appease Tyra's worries.

Tyra gave her a sweet smile and step away lessening the distance between them. "Thank you."

"Just to be safe let me lock the door," Kessa said before turning to do so. 

Tyra smile at her act of kindness as she reached for the rest of her clothes to continue getting dressed.

"Maybe I should change in the cubicle," Kessa said, "Dont want to make this any more awkward…well…U…I being as…" Kessa's hand gestured between them as she tried to validate what she meant.

Tyra pause from pulling on her underwear and stared at Kessa standing there in a pink panther pattern tank top with matching high waist Rio spandex shorts looking flustered and equally appealing.

Her eyes deliberately traveled over every curve, jut, and bare flesh before she licked her lips and said huskily.

"That depends on you. Will it be a bother to undress in front of me?"

Kessa felt her lips turn up in a smile as she realized Tyra was flirting with her. Did she want to play this game?

"That depends are you into men or women… or both?" she heard herself respond as she placed her clothes over the door of the stall near her.

"Undress and we'll see," Tyra responded her attention now fully on Kessa.

Kessa felt the enticement of the situation grip her and she reached for the bottom of her tank and pull it over her head leaving her small firm breasts free for Tyra's gaze.

Her hands reach for the waist of her shorts and push them over her hips her eyes fixated on Tyra's center where her dick offered the answer she sought.

Tyra's hand reached automatically to stroke her now semi-hard cock as Kessa push her shorts further down her hips. When the shorts pooled about the top of her sneakers Tyra's dick was hard with the pink bulbous tip ready to be tasted.

They were staring at each other contemplating their next move when a series of knocks on the door followed Dakota's voice calling.

"Hurry up you two, Tiana is here and she brought treats."

Kessa felt all the blood in her body rush to her cheeks like boiling water and burn them red. What the hell has gotten into her?

Tyra who was fascinated by their brief encounter smiled disarmingly as she looked at Kessa who was fumbling to get into the stall.

"Just so you know," she called as Kessa disappear behind the stall's door. "I like both men and women."

Kessa did not allow herself to breathe or move until she heard Tyra open the door and close it softly behind her.

Shit Tiana was here! was the only thought that was in her head.
