Mothers and Daughters Ch. 31

Vickie gasped:

"My goodness Vera! That certainly is an impressive list of fuck buddies that you have had and enjoyed."

Vera now earnestly said:

"But that is my point Vickie. This is an exclusive short list of the only men I have enjoyed having a sexual relationship with. To be sure I've had enjoyable sex with many other men; certainly I have found my time spent at TLR orgies well worth it, as I've already indicated to you earlier today. However to have the bells and whistles sex and a truly meaningful relationship, the man must be worthwhile and superior just as I'm worthwhile and superior.

Now I'm not nor do not mean to be as arrogant, vain or conceited as the last sentiment would seem to otherwise imply. Still I'm very cognizant that when a man gets to know me and becomes aware of all I've done and accomplished, there is a moment of truth that will define the ensuing acquaintance. If he feels intimidated by it as opposed to merely be impressed, then there is no possibility of a satisfactory successful lasting relationship. No matter how great either the physical or emotional attraction or how great the ensuing sex may become; with respect to something more, there is simply no there, there.

Now as to you Vickie, you are hands down the most accomplished woman I have ever met. Your worth is even more enhanced by your lack of vanity or conceit. So it is no wonder you have had only one meaningful love affair: your husband. The way you have recounted your perception of his feelings towards you, it appears that he believes himself inadequate compared to you.

In my humble opinion this feeling ruins your relationship with him. No matter how hard you or for that matter the both of you try, no matter how many marriage counselors you consult, your marriage is doomed unless he can change his feelings towards you. You see the trouble with feelings is that they are neither good nor bad; they just are.

As to your Johnny it seems you have stumbled onto a rare one; a man who is not intimated by you; a man who can truly satisfy you. I think for your happiness an affair with Johnny would be your top priority. What you do with your marriage is up to you."

Vickie merely replied:

"Thanks Vera, I believe I have come around to this kind of thinking and I'm not looking forward to returning to Atlanta to face Greg. However my compensation will be to getting it on with Johnny. He has already sent me several text messages leaving no doubt as to his strong desire for us to get together again."

With such a power packed discussion the women totally enjoyed each other's company. They had fun shopping and helping each other in making some astute purchases. By late afternoon, they each had purchased some very special eye-catching high heels from an upscale shoe store in a strip mall.

So pleased were they with these shoes that they capriciously decided to keep wearing them instead of their originally worn shoes. In a giddy mood they were determined to acquire dresses that would do these shoes justice. Coincidently a suitable high fashion store specializing in glamorous evening wear was located next door. This particular retail outlet also had a section devoted to suitable and fashionable dresses for pregnant women.

Both women were able to choose dresses, perfect for themselves and absolutely compatible with the shoes. As they were modeling to each other their chosen cocktail dresses, they heard some tango music. Upon inquiring from the store clerk the source of this music they were advised that someone had recently opened a dance studio located directly above the store. No doubt the audible music was pursuant to a dance lesson being conducted.

As the music was tantalizingly and exquisitely appealing to both Vera and Vickie, they decided to investigate. They paid for their dresses, but upon an inexplicable impulse they both kept wearing them together with their marvelous shoes. They first deposited their original worn clothes and shoes in the nearby parked Bentley, before returning to explore the intriguing dance studio.

The entrance to the dance studio was a doorway between the two stores which previously they had not noticed. There was an informative sign etched on the window of the door proclaiming the entrance to Isabel's Dance Studio. Underneath was the notice that dance lessons for the tango, mambo, samba, salsa, cha cha, rumba and paso doble were available. The information at the bottom of the sign read "Isabel Diaz Proprietor".

Upon opening the door the women were confronted with a stairway leading to the second floor where the dance studio was located. With the high heels, the climb was a little arduous especially for Vera, but she managed the trek without too much stress. Upon passing through the door at the top of the stairs, which had identical sign identification on its window as the bottom door, Vera and Vickie entered into a large ballroom like hall. There was sparse furniture; a few chairs and couches along the walls, and a table.

The only person in the music filled room was a woman who approached them as soon as she spotted them. She was about 5'4", with typical Latin physical features and a tantalizing mysterious aura about her. As soon as she reached Vera and Vickie she anxiously said in impeccable English but with a pronounced Spanish accent:

"Welcome ladies. Would you be interested in enrolling in some dance classes? I offer lessons in many of the Latin dances but I specialize in tango as you can imagine from the music I have been playing."

Vickie and Vera upon hearing the music had formed an idea that they would stumble on to a dance class and were interested in witnessing same. They were instead surprised by the bleakness of the scene and so Vickie replied:

"Well no, we can't be interested, since I actually live in Atlanta and my companion lives in Chicago. We loved the music we heard coming from your studio and we thought we would look in on your dance class. That is I take it that you are Isabel Diaz the proprietor as advertised."

Isabel could not hide the look of abject disappointment in her body language upon hearing Vickie; which provoked an instant feeling of empathy in Vera and Vickie. Sensing the sympathy Isabel candidly replied:

"Yes I'm Isabel Diaz and I'm from Argentina. Ever since I was a little girl I've wanted to immigrate to the United States and live in this wonderful country. I saved up all my money for that purpose and when I received an inheritance from the death of my grandfather I had enough money to come here. I have a cousin who was settled here in Dallas and she and her husband sponsored me in my application for my green card.

When I arrived here I worked at all the jobs I could handle so I could open my dance studio which has been my life-long dream. From what I had saved and what I could borrow from the bank, I thought I had enough capital to start my business and so I opened my studio here about eight weeks ago. Although I had enough monies to get started, I ran out of money to spend on advertising. And so apart from friends who did not really pay me, I have not had one solid independent customer since I opened and it looks like I will not be able to meet the rent for the upcoming month unless I can borrow some more money."

Vera ever the businesswoman, and not one to ignore an opportunity knocking, drew out her cheque book from her purse. Quickly making it out, she handed a cheque to Isabel and said:

"Here's my cheque for $2,000, I would like you to give me a tango lesson right now. I do know how to dance the tango but I would like to see if you have the ability to transform me into a champion tango dancer."

Isabel taking the cheque and after looking at it protested:

"But Ms Starikovich, that's way too much money for one lesson. And as your friend said you live in Chicago I presume you would not be here in Dallas long enough to take advantage of all of the lessons you are entitled to by this amount of money."

Vera vaguely replied:

"I may have another motive which I will divulge later, but for now I'm most interested in learning how competent a dance instructor you are. I imagine the sum of $2,000 is sufficient incentive for you to give the best tango lesson you are capable of producing."

At this point, Vickie was discerning Vera's purpose. Although Vickie had not met Vera until this day, based on her knowledge of her mother's laudatory opinion she believed Vera's business acumen to be of the most superior kind. Therefore she thought if Vera believed that Isabel's dance studio was worth investing in then perhaps she should as well. So having made out her cheque and handing it to Isabel, she said:

"Here's my cheque for $2,000 as I would also like a tango lesson. I like to think I'm a pretty good tango dancer as it is. But if you can give me some pointers to make me excel I would be ever so grateful."

Shrugging her shoulders, Isabel replied:

"OK ladies, if you wish to lavish such monies on me then who am I to complain; especially as this would allow me to stay in business longer. I'm intrigued that you consider yourselves accomplished tango dancers and suspect that I would be hard pressed to teach you anything new. Well we shall see."

Isabel went to the table to reset the CD player on it. Then Isabel said:

"I'll take you first Ms Starikovich..."

Vera commanded:

"Call me Vera please we need not be so formal."

Not to be ignored Vickie piped in:

"And please call me Vickie. I sense we'll all become friends."

Isabel continued:

"OK Vera. I'll play a typical piece of tango music with a sprightly tempo and we shall dance. I'll lead and you follow so I can determine your capabilities. After the dance is over then I shall give you give you some tips as how to dance to the music better. Then we will dance again to the same music and you can judge for yourself if you have improved. I'll follow the same procedure with Vickie only we will use a different tune so that each lesson will be unique."

As the music became audible, Isabel led Vera to the middle of the room and started the dance. Vera enjoyed herself as she loved dancing the tango and Isabel's skill in the dance was patently obvious. As the dance ended Vera was exhilarated as she could not have imagined a more pleasurable dancing experience. Perhaps a taller partner and/or a male partner equivalent to Isabel's skill might have been an improvement to make the dance perfect.

Consequently the next twenty minutes were an eye opener for Vera, and Vickie as well for that matter; as Vickie also thought their dancing had been terrific. Isabel spent that time to point out all the moves and positions Vera could have made that would have improved her participation in the dance. Then Isabel took Vera back into her arms and they repeated the dance. This time applying Isabel's pointers, Vera was sensational in her movements that the improvement in her performance of the dance would be obvious to even the least knowledgeable dance observer.

After the dance Isabel observed:

"I can see Vera that you are a good dancer and I suspect that you have had some tango lessons. But you can now see that you could do even better if you unleash your passion."

Vera was dumbfounded. In Chicago she had indeed taken tango lessons, and for that matter lessons in some other ballroom dances. During the time of her affair with Jed Baxter she wanted to be ready should Jed feel the inclination to take the next step in their relationship by escorting her to high society events. She had felt confident of her expertise in ballroom dancing but Isabel's teaching demonstrated that really she was merely adequate as far as the tango goes.

As it was Vickie's turn, Isabel selected a tango piece that was at a largo tempo; much slower and sedate than the music selected for Vera's "lesson". Vickie had considered herself an accomplished tango dancer having also taken ballroom dance lessons in Atlanta so that she would not embarrass herself in society. In addition her Hispanic heritage had to count for natural affinity for the dance. So she started dancing with Isabel fully confident that she would acquit herself to the equal of the Argentine. And during the dance she had no reason to think otherwise as she believed she danced flawlessly; surely there could be no scope for real or significant improvement.

However after the dance, Isobel was able to suggest many major and minor improvements. Despite the slowness of the music there were unlimited possibilities to explore one's sensuality to truly enjoy the exercise of tango dancing. When Isabel and Vickie reprised their slow intimate dance the difference was almost like night and day. As Vera watched on, she came to the conclusion that she had surely by lucky happenstance just met the most competent tango instructor on the planet. She decided then and there that she would arrange proper financing that would ensure success of Isabel's business.

After the completion of the second dance with Vickie, Isabel said:

"You two are actually truly excellent dancers verging on professional caliber, so I really had little to suggest in way of improvement. Certainly by the fees I envision charging, even if I were to teach you all the tips to superior tango dancing form that I know, you would still have lots of monies left over from what you have given me."

Not sure whether this was false modesty or genuine praise, Vera demurred:

"Oh I don't know Isabel; with your teaching I believe I danced 100% better after the lesson. I have taken dance lessons in the past and I can see you are truly superior to my former instructors. I certainly learned more than I expected."

Vickie seconded the sentiment:

"Oh yes Isabel, I've also taken some lessons as well, but you have truly shown me how tango dancing can change from a pleasant exercise to a passionate experience."

Isabel beamed at the compliments and then suggested:

"Well OK then. Let's see how good a dance instructor I am. Why don't the two of you dance together both dances. You have each got direct personal instruction on one dance and you each received indirect visual instruction to the other dance. As you are both similar in height, I expect a better performance than how you danced with me."

Vera and Vickie duly complied and engaged in a close contact to commence the first dance. As Vera was 5'11" tall and Vickie 5'10", there was some justice in Isabel's expectation of better dancing. As there was not a significant disparity in height, there would be more scope for intimate sensuality in their dancing. In addition as Vera and Vickie were in semi formal dresses whereas Isabel was wearing leisure attire suitable for regular exercise; the two of them made a more pleasing visual spectacle.

Although the first dance contained typical upbeat tango music there was a slow introduction that allowed for a simple swaying of their bodies while in an intimate clinch in preparation for the more vigorous dance steps to follow. As an exception to a traditional tango partners' embrace, Vera being slightly taller draped her entire left arm over the middle of Vickie's left shoulder and dangled that arm down the entire back. This allowed Vera to hold Vickie tightly; tighter than the most intimate of dance partners' embraces. However the highlight of their dance embrace was their almost cheek to cheek adhesion. That contact was so sensuous that even the most indifferent witness could feel the passion of both women becoming alive and kindled. Being so close Vera and Vickie were inhaling each other's expelled breath which produced a sensation of lightheadedness in each of them. As the music started to pick up they started moving their feet in anticipation of the twirling movement which would inevitably follow.

When their heads parted, they made direct eye contact. Vera produced a seductive satisfied smile. Vickie responded with a glazed look that advertised lustful thoughts percolating in her brain. The chemistry between them was not to be denied. It so suddenly took hold that both of them audibly gasped as they became cognizant of their situation. Their bodies moved in the dance automatically but there was nothing mechanical or woodenly in their dancing.

Watching them, Isabel sensed that they were not so much dancing as they were engaging in subtle exotic sexual foreplay. As a teacher of arguably one of the most passionate dances ever devised, Isabel had never witnessed a more sensuous erotic performance of a tango dance than what Vera and Vickie were doing. What was even more amazing in Isabel's mind was the fact that both Vera and Vickie did indeed demonstrate technique flaws when each danced with her for their lesson dances. But now when they were dancing together, the lessons obviously had borne fruit as a more technically perfect and sensuous dance could not be imagined.

During the second dance, the music and their intimate dancing overwhelmed Vera and Vickie mutually. They became sexually aroused with each other as the entire dance provided for continuous close body contact. The music was so tantalizingly erotic in their minds and the slow tempo of the dance just played into their libido needs.

Vickie was shocked to realize how sexually attracted she had become towards Vera. She believed herself to be absolutely unequivocally heterosexual without any desire to make love to a woman. True she had no problem indulging in lesbian sex; after all her very first sexual experience was a three month girl-on-girl lovemaking fling with Brenda Porter and Connie Snyder.

However although Vickie had enjoyed the sex with Brenda and Connie and they were great companions, still there was no lust or desire tied into the sex. Once she had met Greg, making love to them no longer held any interest for her. And even if she did leave Greg, she knew reuniting with them sexually just had no appeal. But Vera was definitely a different kettle of fish.

Vickie wanted Vera! She desired her; wanted to make love to her! And this sexual desire was equivalent to the desire she had when she succumbed to Johnny Whitaker's seduction. Perhaps the music and dancing had an unnatural influence and affect on her. Still Vickie sensed that her need for Vera was all powerful.

Furthermore, she believed that she would not be satisfied with just a one night stand. Notwithstanding her intention to establish an affair with Johnny Whitaker she could sense that she would want to have an ongoing relationship with Vera in addition and fuck her occasionally in future. Vickie was so in lust for Vera that she did not pay any heed to the bizarre impulsiveness of her thoughts.

As for Vera, her lust for Vickie was equal in desire. However this desire did not emanate from a deeply rooted mysterious complicated psychological need but was based instead on a more pedestrian reason. Vera was simply horny!

She had not had any sex since the telephone conversation with Lajos when she and Natasha had informed him of the mother and daughter mutual pregnancy. With Natasha not desirous of any sex, and with Linda Snyder not straying from her marital sexual activity, Vera was deprived of her usual sexual partners. She had been too busy in her work that she was too exhausted and not inclined to seek sex from other sources. In addition for one reason or another she had been unable to schedule a TLR orgy to tamp down the heat off her sexual desires, which were being inflamed by her pregnancy moods.

That though, is not to say that Vera viewed Vickie as any port in her storm of sexual need. With the background of sharing a delightful afternoon of conversation and shopping, their intimate tango dance strongly influenced Vickie's allure such that Vera knew she would have succumbed even had she initially been indifferent in sexual desire. In any case by the time the second dance was drawing to a close, Vera decided to act on her feelings.
