The bartender came up and Laura started to order. She wanted to buy Beebo a drink and have one quick one herself, and then get out. Go home. Forget she had come. But before she could give an order, Beebo said , Come home with me, Laura."
"No."
"Come on." Beebo spun her slowly around on the barstool with one arm. Laura looked reluctantly at her for the first time since she had been noticed. Beebo smiled down at her, her short black hair and wide brow making her face more boyish even than Laura remembered. She was remarkably handsome. Laura was deeply ashamed of what she was feeling, sitting there on the barstool, letting herself be influenced by this girl that she tried so hard to despise.
"Why don't you invite Bella?" she said.
"She's busy."
Laura' s cheeks went hot with fury, and she shook Beebo's arm off and started to get up, to walk past her, to get out. But Beebo caught her, laughing deep in her throat, thouroughly amused. "By Jesus, you are jealous!" she said. "Sorry, baby, I just had to know. Come on, let's go"
Laura who was pulling against her, suddenly found herself going in the same direction as Beebo, heading for the door, all her resistance dissipated.
"Beebo, I didn't come here for that!I came to keep you from calling Marcie. To pay you for that drink."
"I want you to owe me that drink for the rest of your life, Bo-Peep."
Laura gasped. Then she walked hurriedly ahead to escape.....But Beebo was close behind her, and Laura felt her arms come around her from behind, and Beebo's lips on her neck, and her own knees going shaky.
"No, no, oh Beebo, please! Not here, not here please."

Beebo is my fantasy gf. She has been since the first time i laid eyes on her name in my first Ann Bannon book a bunch of years ago.
A friend of mine once asked me "when a girl walks in the room and you get all hot and bothered about her, what is it? What is it about her, specifically?". I think my answer was "she is Beebo" or something to that effect. I love a girl with a swagger. I alternately want to fuck Beebo and BE Beebo. My swagger isn't convincing enough and i am definately not tall enough, so her being my fantasy gf will have to do.

this is one of my favorite set of books. Its simple and certainly a fast read (i started and finished the newest anniversary re-release this morning). There is this amazing romance to the mood of these books. Imagine it: the 1950's, the seedy Village, swishy gay boys and bull dykes in every smoky bar. Swilling whisky and lamenting on their 'conditions'. Girls cruising other girls like there is no tomorrow. SO romantic.
Read them! Read all of them.
