Coyote Ugly
"After Hours"
by JT Langdon

Violet had never been so exhausted in her life. It was a little after
2:00am and the last few customers had finally been pushed out the
door, but just because the bar was now closed didn't mean she
could call it a night and go home. Far from it. There was still a lot
of work to be done before any of them could leave.
       
But that's how it went at Coyote Ugly.
       
It had been another grueling night. She'd spent half her time behind
the bar serving drinks, and the other half on top of the bar getting
drinks poured over her. But in addition to the singing and dancing
that had become the main attraction these days, there had been two
fistfights, one drunk who had to be tossed out, and a visit from the
cops that had to be smoothed over. And this had been one of the
quiet nights!
       
Still, Violet loved it. She had been struggling to make it as a
songwriter in New York and faced rejection at every turn. No one
seemed willing to give her a break!  But just when things were at
their bleakest she met Lil, the tough, smart woman who owned
Coyote Ugly. She convinced Lil to give her a chance, and while she
had gotten off to a rough start Violet had proven herself to Lil and
the coyotes.
       
Violet grabbed a garbage can and started tossing empty bottles into
it. She loved the coyotes . . . the other women of Coyote Ugly.
Rachel had been hard on her from the start, but Violet had hung in
there and it seemed the feisty, auburn-haired woman was starting to
warm up to her. At least as much as Rachel could. The woman was
a self-proclaimed bitch with a short fuse and a mean right cross.
She would pick a fight just for the hell of it and before it was over
someone would end up on their ass . . . and it usually wasn't Rachel.
And then there was Cammie. Now that woman was something else,
for sure. She drove men wild with her little tease routine. Violet
was always impressed with the way Cammie had men eating out of
the palm of her hand . . . and probably other places, too.
       
The women of Coyote Ugly were the strangest group Violet had
ever met, but she would have been lost without their support. It
was tough enough making it New York, but doing it without
friends for support was impossible. But she considered Lil, Rachel,
and Cammie her friends. Violet knew she could depend on them to
help her out. 
       
After all, coyotes traveled in packs. The women of Coyote Ugly
would stick together. 
       
Violet cleared the last few empties from the table in the corner then
looked around to see if there was anything else that needed to be
done before she could go home . . . but what she saw stopped her
dead in her tracks. Rachel was sitting on top of the bar. Lil was
standing right in front of her. Rachel had her legs wrapped around
Lil's midsection and was running her fingers through Lil's blond hair
as the two of them kissed deeply, passionately, so obviously
wanting each other right then and there. The two women didn't
appear to have a care in the world, either, going at it fast and
furious, kissing and groping each other in a wild, frenzied show of
lust. Violet just stood there, motionless, like a deer caught in
headlights, watching Lil and Rachel make out right there at the bar.
Whoa! Violet couldn't believe it! She couldn't believe Lil and
Rachel were lovers! And were going at it right there at the bar,
knowing she was still there! She never suspected that anything was
going on between them. 
       
Even though it was rude to just stand there and stare at them, she
couldn't look away. Something compelled her to watch her fellow
coyotes. She'd always thought Lil and Rachel were two very
attractive women, of course, but seeing them together absolutely
blew her mind. It was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen . . .
not to mention the most arousing. Violet couldn't ignore the
pleasant warmth that swept through her as she watched the kiss Lil
and Rachel shared, a warmth that started in her cheeks then moved
much, much lower when Lil pulled at the strings of Rachel's leather
vest, drawing it open to expose Rachel's tits. Violet licked her lips,
feeling a raw, untamed hunger burning deep inside her as she
watched Lil feel Rachel up before taking a nipple into her mouth
and sucking it. God, this was getting her so hot! She could feel the
dampness pooling between her legs and from the way Rachel's eyes
rolled back in her head Violet was sure the brunette was also
dripping wet. How she envied Rachel! And oh, how she wanted to
feel Lil's mouth at her breast!
       
The thought pierced her like an arrow. She'd never really thought
about making love to another woman before now. Oh, sure, when
they were dancing on the bar they would rub up against each other
because it drove the guys into a tizzy which always meant bigger
tips for all of them. But that was just for show, all in fun. It had
never turned her on . . . at least not until now. Violet watched Lil's
tongue flutter over Rachel's nipple and ached to be next in line. She
found it harder and harder to breathe, and the pounding in her cunt
cried out for immediate attention.
       
"Pretty hot stuff, huh?"
       
Violet jumped, more than a little startled, her face turning beet red
when she glanced over and saw that Cammie was standing right
next to her. How long had she been there? Violet had no idea!
Although she had to admit Cammie looked good. Well, Cammie
always looked good . . . but now Violet how noticed just how sexy
Cammie looked in that tight red skirt and halter top. It had been
driving men wild all night and for the first time Violet truly
understood why. 
       
"I, uh, I was just cleaning up and-"
       
"It's okay," Cammie said, grinning. "They wouldn't be doing it in
the bar if they didn't like to be watched. I love to watch them."
       
Violet relaxed a little. She didn't feel like such a pervert now. "So,
um, are they a couple or what?"
       
"Nah," Cammie said, "they just like to play sometimes."
      
 "Oh," Violet said. "Do they play a lot?"
       
"Yeah. So you'd better get used to it. They have a hard time
keeping their hands to themselves after Lou goes home." Cammie
leaned closer and whispered in her ear, "By the way, I have that
problem, too." 
      
 Violet tensed when she felt Cammie's hand on her ass. But the
insistent caresses wore down her defenses in no time and when
Cammie gave her butt a good, firm squeeze Violet groaned with
desire.
       
"God," Violet muttered, "This is so not like me to do this."
       
Cammie moved behind her now, kissing the nape of her neck. "I
can stop if you want."
       
"Don't you dare," Violet said. And to prove she meant that she
pushed her ass back into Cammie's crotch. Cammie purred into her
ear, reaching around to hug her from behind. She settled into the
embrace with a sigh, glancing up at the bar to see how things were
progressing between Lil and Rachel while Cammie planted kisses
on the back of her neck. Things were getting really good over at the
bar. Lil still had a mouthful of tit but also had her hand between
Rachel's legs now, frantically rubbing Rachel's pussy through her
brown leather pants. And Rachel seemed to be loving every minute
of it, squirming on the bar, head tossed back and moaning for more.
       
Lil and Rachel made for a lovely image, but the hands pawing at her
breasts reminded Violet that she wasn't just a casual observer.
Cammie groped and fondled her tits, using her thumbs to coax her
nipples to erection. Violet groaned in hunger, remembering the look
she had seen on Rachel's face . . . knowing she now had that same
look on hers. Cammie continued to tease her rock-hard nipples,
rolling them, pinching them, driving her wild with desire. Jesus! Her
panties would be soaked right through before long! She arched
back against the woman behind her, grunting hard.
       
"That feel good, Jersey?" Cammie murmured into her ear.
       
"Are you kidding me?"
       
Cammie laughed. "Yeah . . . you like it. And you like watching Lil
and Rachel, don't you?"
       
"Yes," Violet answered hoarsely.
       
"Look at them now," Cammie said. 
       
Violet did what she was told and was rewarded for her obedience
with an even more beautiful sight than she had seen before. Lil had
Rachel naked and reclined on the bar now, Rachel's legs thrown
over her shoulders, her blonde head bobbing up and down as she
licked Rachel's cunt. Just seeing them like that almost put Violet
over the edge. Her cunt was throbbing with need. God, how she
wished Lil was going down on her instead! Then she felt Cammie's
hand sliding down the front of her pants and whimpered like the
pitiful mess she was, all but begging Cammie to touch her.
Cammie's hand grazed the front of her sopping wet panties, teasing
her. 
       
"Are you watching them?" Cammie whispered into her ear.
       
"Yes," Violet answered. And she was, too. She watched Lil nuzzle
her face into Rachel's cunt, making Rachel howl in pleasure. Rachel
had her fingers in Lil's hair again and was holding Lil tight against
her pussy. Though Violet would have traded places with Rachel in
a heartbeat, she wouldn't have minded tracing places with Lil,
either. She thought about what it would like to go down on Rachel
. . . until Cammie's fingers brought her back to Earth, rubbing her
slit through her panties.  
       
"Do you think Rachel is enjoying that?"
       
"Oh God yes," Violet muttered. Cammie's hand was down the front
of her panties now, stroking her damp flesh. It felt so good! 
       
"I know she is," Cammie said. "No one beats Lil when it comes to
eating pussy."
       
Listening to Cammie made Violet even wetter and she groaned,
desperately wanting Cammie's fingers inside her. But Cammie just
kept toying with her, making small circles against her slit with her
fingertips.
      
 "Please!" Violet sobbed.
       
"I think Rachel is gonna come," Cammie said, "don't you?"
       
"Oh . . . yes."
       
"You'd like to see that, wouldn't you?"
       
"Yes!"
       
"Mmmm. Lil is so lucky. Rachel is delicious. Like I bet you are,
Jersey."
      
Violet threw back her head and cried out as Cammie's fingers slid
into her, plunging in deep. She was going to catch up with Rachel
in no time! Cammie fucked her hard and fast, those fingers moving
in and out of her like pistons. Her pussy clenched like a fist around
them, wanting them deeper inside . . . not wanting to let go. She
looked over at the bar. Rachel was mewling like a cat in heat, heels
pounding into Lil's back. But that didn't stop Lil; she kept her face
in Rachel's cunt. Violet didn't have to imagine how wonderful it
felt. She had two very talented fingers inside her, driving her to
climax. God, how she needed to get off! But she also wanted to see
Rachel come. Violet didn't think she would have to wait long, not
from the way Lil stayed with it and from the way Rachel squirmed
on the bar. She could feel her own climax building inside her, a dull
ache in the pit of her stomach that got more and more intense until
she wanted to scream! But it was Rachel that screamed. Violet
shuddered as she watched Rachel clutch at Lil, hips rising off the
bar in the throes of what looked like an intense, toe-curling orgasm.
Now she wanted to come! Violet waited for Cammie to finish her
off. She was so close to the edge that it wouldn't take much to push
her over. But Cammie eased up at the last second, pulling her back
from the brink of orgasm. Violet couldn't believe it! That fucking
tease! She tried to turn around but Cammie hugged her tight,
spooned against her back, still teasing her pussy.
       
"Not yet, baby," Cammie purred into her ear. "Let's see how Lil and
Rachel doing."
       
Violet nodded her assent. She followed Cammie to the bar where
Rachel was still panting for breath, her naked body covered with
sweat. The smell of cunt and booze was thick in the air and Violet
breathed it in, feeling lightheaded. Cammie had her wound up so
tight she felt like she was walking on pins and needles! 
       
Lil saw them coming over and smiled. She looked so hot in a white
tank top and black denim jeans. "Enjoy the show?"
       
Violet blushed.
       
But Cammie said, "We both did. But I think poor little Jersey here
is feeling a little frustrated. Aren't you?"
       
Violet shivered as Cammie reached over and cupped her mound,
squeezing hard.
       
"Such a fucking tease," Lil said, laughing. She moved closer. Violet
could smell Rachel on her breath. Her expression turned more
serious and she said, "Do you want me to finish where Cammie left
off, Jersey?"
      
Violet nodded. She'd never wanted anything as much as she wanted
Lil right now. Her cunt ached for Lil's touch, and when Lil ran the
tip of one finger between her breasts Violet growled with hunger, a
hunger that deepened even more when Lil pulled her into a kiss.
She could taste Rachel's cunt on Lil's lips, but it was the softness of
those lips that entranced her most of all. God! Violet could have
gone on kissing them forever! Their tongues slithered over each
other like two snakes finding each other in a thick patch of grass,
making her wild . . . as did the hands moving over her body,
exploring her curves, lingering over some longer than others. Her
nipples were so hard they ached! But that was nothing compared to
the searing, painful heat between her legs. She was so horny she
thought she would explode, so when Lil broke the kiss Violet
started to pout . . . until Lil pulled off her tank top, letting Violet
get a good look at her breasts. Her insides turned molten with
desire. Lil was gorgeous and had the most perfect tits she had ever
seen. Violet had to touch them, feel them . . . suckle them. 
       
Their lips met again in a deep, passionate kiss. Violet cupped Lil's
breast in her hand, squeezing it, kneading it, using her thumb to
stroke the nipple and delighting at the feel of the little nub
hardening under her touch. She took even more delight in the little
moan that escaped Lil's soft lips. The sudden urge to please Lil
surged through her. Nothing else, not even her own needs, seemed
important right now. 
       
Violet lowered her mouth to Lil's breast, taking a nipple into her
mouth and sucking it. The fingers twined in her hair were loving,
affectionate, urging her on without ever once being demanding. She
moved from one breast to the other, slobbering all over them,
unable to contain her eagerness. The sensation of having another
woman's breast in her mouth was new and exciting. Violet couldn't
get enough of it. She flicked her tongue over Lil's nipples, making
her boss moan and gasp with each touch. But was she making Lil
wet? Violet had to know for sure! She worked her hand down the
front of Lil's pants, both surprised and pleased that her boss wasn't
wearing any underwear. That made things so much easier! The
warm, wet flesh Violet discovered made her insides tingle. She
fondled Lil's cuntlips, teasing her boss, working Lil into a lather,
getting both of them wetter and wetter until Violet couldn't stand
up under her own power. So she slid to the floor, kneeling in front
of Lil like a penitent at the altar. But Violet didn't want to be
forgiven for her sins. She wanted to get her mouth on Lil's pussy!
       
As she fumbled to get Lil's pants undone, Violet noticed that Rachel
and Cammie were keeping each other occupied. Rachel seemed to
have gotten her second wind and was impatiently trying to get
Cammie's clothes off, something Violet was looking forward to as
well. But she had her own task to accomplish. She peeled open Lil's
pants and pulled them down, helping her boss out of them and
tossing them aside. There on her knees, Violet had Lil's pussy right
in front of her. And it was so beautiful! She'd never realized just
how beautiful a woman's cunt was! Violet breathed in the earthy,
musky scent of Lil's pussy, letting it fill her, intoxicate her, stoking
the fires of a hunger that already burned out of control. She leaned
forward, flicking her tongue over Lil's slit. Lil moaned in approval,
tousling her hair, encouraging her to explore further. And Violet
did. She put her face in Lil's pussy and cut loose, lapping at Lil's
cuntlips. The woman was delicious! Violet had no idea it would
taste so good! She buried her tongue deep in Lil's cunt, snorting
with the effort she put into eating out her boss. In the background
she could hear Rachel and Cammie going at it, their sounds of
pleasure a counterpoint to the grunting and moaning coming from
Lil. Violet dragged her tongue across Lil's swollen clit and her boss
groaned, grabbing her hair and pulling it. But that only served to
encourage her. She flicked her tongue over Lil's clit then pressed
her lips to the small button of flesh, kissing it, sucking it, using her
tongue and teeth until Lil screamed and thrust against her, grinding
that hot, wet cunt into her mouth as she came. Violet eagerly licked
up the sweet cream that oozed from Lil's slit, refusing to stop until
she got every last, tasty drop.
       
Violet got to her feet. She noticed Cammie and Rachel locked in a
69 on top of the bar, but barely had time to watch them before she
was drawn into a deep, lingering kiss. Hands tugged at her clothes
and Violet purred with desire, wanting so much for Lil to fuck her
like she had Rachel. Violet reluctantly broke the kiss, stepping back
so she could get undressed. Lil smiled wickedly, watching her as
she stripped naked. 
       
"Hop up on the bar," Lil said, "so I can lick that sweet pussy of
yours."
       
Violet shook with need as she did what Lil asked. She sat down on
the bar, just where Rachel had, her legs dangling over the side . . .
just like Rachel had been sitting. And just like Rachel, Violet spread
for Lil and let her boss get at her aching cunt. Lil wasted no time in
making good on her promise to finish where Cammie had left off.
Before Violet knew it Lil was on her . . . inside her, licking her
cunt. God! Cammie wasn't kidding when she said no one beat Lil at
eating pussy. The woman was a treasure! Lil transformed
cunt-licking into an art form! Violet pounded her fists on the bar,
her skin on fire as Lil went down on her. Lil licked up and down the
length of her slit then slid lower, teasing her asshole with the tip of
her tongue. Violet groaned. Intense, mind-numbing pleasure surged
through her like a bolt of lightning. 
       
It was incredible! Lil continued tonguing her ass, thrusting two
fingers into her pussy for good measure. The combination had
Violet reeling. It was almost too much. And yet she didn't want it to
stop . . . didn't want Lil to ever stop. She needed desperately to get
off and Lil was leading her right there. Violet could feel the crest of
thunderous orgasm creeping up on her, getting stronger and bigger,
building momentum until she reached the point of no return and
came with a scream that seemed echoed through the bar. Her entire
body shook under the intensity of it, and for a moment it was as if
she stopped breathing. And then she was gasping for air, heart
thudding in her chest. Jesus! And Lil wasn't letting up! 
       
In fact, as Violet regained some tiny bit of coherence, she realized
there was more going on between her legs than one woman could
achieve alone. She looked down and grunted  when she saw
Rachel's face peering back up at her. The two women shared a
longing glance then Rachel went back to eating her out, joining Lil
in an attempt to lick her right out of her skin! Their tongues danced
over her cunt and dipped into her ass, pushing her to the edge again
. . . but not over it. Lil and Rachel left her twisting in the wind this
time, keeping her on the verge of climax. Violet tossed her head
back with a frustrated cry. And that's when she noticed Cammie
crawling on top the bar, getting closer. 
       
Violet's nostrils flared with renewed hunger. She wanted that
woman to sit on her face . . . now! It seemed like forever before
Cammie straddled her head. Violet grabbed Cammie's ass with both
hands and lowered that hot cunt onto her mouth, burrowing her
tongue in deep. While Lil and Rachel licked her out, Violet busied
herself with tongue-fucking Cammie's brains out. Cammie bucked
against her, humping her face, grinding that delicious pussy against
her mouth. And Violet kept right on licking, digging her fingernails
into Cammie's ass cheeks. She could tell Cammie was close to
orgasm now and doubled her efforts, letting loose a tongue-lashing
frenzy inside that tasty cunt. As Cammie squealed and rode her face
to release, Lil and Rachel intensified their efforts until Violet was
screaming into Cammie's pussy in the clutch of another
gut-wrenching orgasm.
       
As soon as Cammie climbed off her Violet sat up, gulping for air.
Jesus! These women would be the death of her! But what a way to
go! She noticed Lil and Cammie were kissing already, touching and
groping each other. God, didn't they ever get enough? She guessed
not! But then neither did she! Spent as she was, watching Lil and
Cammie make out in front of her stoked her fires and left her aching
to be touched again. She was in luck, too, because Rachel wasn't
occupied at the moment. 
       
Violet patted the spot on the bar next to her and Rachel sat down,
reaching over and sliding a hand between her legs. The woman
didn't waste any time! Violet murmured her approval and pulled
Rachel to her, kissing lips that had been pressed into her cunt not
that long ago. But whether she tasted herself or Lil or Cammie or
all of them on Rachel's lips didn't matter. It was still a delicious kiss.
The hand between her legs worked overtime, stroking her inner
thigh. Not to be outdone, Violet cupped Rachel's breast in her hand
and squeezed it. Rachel moaned into the kiss, fingernails digging
into her thigh. But the pain Violet felt was exquisite. Violet pushed
Rachel flat on the bar top and straddled her on all fours, bending
down to kiss those sweet lips again. The hands racing up and down
her back made it clear just how bad Rachel wanted her and Violet
was more than eager to oblige. She scooted lower down Rachel's
body, seizing a nipple between her lips and sucking it. Rachel
groaned for more and Violet gave it, moving from one breast to the
other, sucking those luscious tits, flicking the nipples with her
tongue, making Rachel squirm with need.
      
"I want your mouth on my pussy," Rachel growled.
       
Violet wanted that, too. She inched down even further, until she
was poised above that delectable cunt. Rachel spread open for her,
giving her more than enough room to work. Violet dove in. She
lapped at Rachel's pussy like a kitten given a bowl of cream. Her
tongue slithered between Rachel's pouty cuntlips, disappearing into
her slick hole. Rachel screeched loud enough to wake the dead! 
       
But she wouldn't be making that much noise for long.
       
Looking up, Violet noticed Lil climbing on top of the bar. She kept
right on licking Rachel out as Lil swung her leg over and straddled
Rachel's head. God! That was so hot! Violet watched Lil's ass
bouncing up and down on Rachel's face, remembering how
scrumptious Lil tasted. But she wasn't jealous. She had a mouthful
of cunt herself, and it was just as delicious! Violet nuzzled her face
deeper into Rachel's twat until she was up to her ears in hot, wet
woman-flesh. She fucked Rachel with her tongue, hungrily licking
the sweet juices pooled in that brimming honey pot. 
       
When Violet felt hands on her hips she realized Cammie was behind
her now. She thrust her ass back at Cammie to make it clear exactly
what she wanted. But Cammie already knew. Violet moaned into
Rachel's pussy as Cammie began rimming her, licking her ass while
two fingers found their way into her cunt. Having her face in
Rachel's pussy while Cammie fucked her from behind was about as
close to heaven as Violet had ever been. She flicked her tongue
over Rachel's clit, teasing her lover with hints of climax. But if
Rachel was getting impatient with her, Violet never heard a word.
Rachel was much too busy eating Lil from underneath, and if Lil's
screaming was any indication, doing a good job too. 
       
But so was Cammie. Violet found a spare moment to whimper as
the two fingers in her cunt became three . . . and then four. God!
Cammie was fucking her with four fingers! And still licking her ass!
The woman did not stop! Violet licked Rachel faster and faster,
keeping the pace that Cammie set. Her cunt throbbed as Cammie
fucked her harder, faster, never letting up, never breaking stride,
fucking her like a machine, pushing those four fingers deeper . . .
deeper . . . and then, in one sudden push, Cammie's entire hand
disappeared inside her. Violet screamed. She screamed at the top of
her lungs. The sound was muffled since she had her face buried in
Rachel's cunt, but she still screamed. She had Cammie's fist inside
her! Oh God! Her cunt twitched in a sudden, rocking orgasm that
degenerated into a fit of even more violent spasms as she came over
and over again. Violet sobbed with joy as Cammie pumped one
climax after another out of her trembling body, each more intense
than the one before it. But rather than distract her it made Violet
want to lick Rachel faster, to bring her lover to climax. And she did.
Somewhere in between her own shuddering orgasms Violet latched
onto Rachel's throbbing clit and sucked her lover off. Just as Rachel
came, Violet felt Cammie's tongue slipping deep into her asshole.
That was more than enough to send her end over end into oblivion
once again, spinning out of control, breathless and exhilarated . . .
drifting toward heaven. 
       
As the first hint of sunlight poured through the window, the four of
them gathered up their clothes and started to get dressed. Violet
slipped on her panties then wiggled into her jeans, more exhausted
than ever. She had shared herself with Lil, Cammie, and Rachel,
and they with her, in various combinations, until all of them were
just too tired to go on. While she put her shirt back on, Violet
wondered if it was possible to be in love with three women at the
same time. She didn't know. But there was no denying the special
feelings she had for the women of Coyote Ugly, especially after
tonight and all that had happened between them. Violet watched
Lil, Cammie, and Rachel getting dressed, admiring their bodies,
feeling a hunger for all of them. She wondered if anything like this
would ever happen again, but from the looks all of them exchanged
there was little doubt of that. 
       
Violet couldn't wait.
