Candles! Oh my god, so many candles!
We’d had a couple of nice candles on the dinner table, but nothing like this — there must have been hundreds in Jessica’s bedroom! That was obviously why she’d wanted to walk around outside for a while after we finished eating, to give Freja and Margaret enough time to get them all going. It had to have taken both of them to light so many candles.
This was such a beautiful sight, so romantic, it made me want to cry and it took my breath away, all at once. Plus, there was another incredible thing. On the opposite wall across the room, just past the bed, was a big colorful printed banner that read: Lia – I love you forever!
I turned around toward Jess, a hand over my mouth. My eyes were blurry with tears. I tried to speak, but couldn’t get any words to come, so I just smiled and shook my head in amazement, then held my arms out to her.
————————
The better Nora got to know Karen, the more strongly she felt she drawn to her, as to a powerful magnet. It seemed there was a genuine connection between them, a growing bond. Yes, it was only the beginning, and things could change, but Nora was becoming convinced this was real, that they were in the process of forming an intimate romantic relationship, and that those special feelings went both ways.
They’d dined slowly, ordering several courses over a couple of hours and sharing their selections back and forth, doing as much talking as eating while drinking iced chai tea with coconut milk. The restaurant did not have a liquor license… and yet, although she’d had only that single glass of sherry, much earlier, Nora felt intoxicated. It wasn’t alcohol that was doing it, but the company she was in.
Karen laughed at her jokes, listened closely to her stories, empathized with the challenges of being a single mom. Their backgrounds were quite different — Nora having to work her way up from a lower class start with severely dysfunctional parents, while Karen was raised in relative privilege — yet somehow the two women had arrived at nearly the same place in life, with strikingly similar attitudes and beliefs.
“Can I tell you something?” said Karen at one point.
“Sure, of course, anything,” Nora replied.
“Well, it’s just that… I’ve always sort of scoffed at the idea of soulmates. I guess after my experience with my dick of a husband, and never really having a good relationship with anyone, more than just friends, I mean… I, um…”
Karen paused, glancing down at her hands for a moment, before raising her chin and looking into Nora’s eyes again. “I, I just didn’t believe that it was possible to, uh, for me, to, you know, to actually fall in love.”
Nora suddenly choked up, her eyes filling with tears. That was exactly the way she felt, as if this beautiful woman had somehow put voice to her own deepest feelings. Too overcome to say anything, she pursed her lips, holding back a sob of joy, and reached out to take Karen’s hand, squeezing hard.
————————
Jess and I shared a long teary hug, and then we went into her bedroom, closing the door behind us. I just could not believe what I was looking at. I had never seen so many candles going all at once. It was like something from a movie, not real life. But this was real!
“Oh, Jess, it’s just… just so…” I squeezed her hand, unable to find the right words to express how happy I was at what she’d done.
“It’s ‘cuz I love you, Lia. I really really love you.”
“Ohhh…!”
Fighting back a sob, I flung my arms around her again, hugging my girlfriend as tightly as I could, wanting to mold us into one, to push myself inside her body and join with her. And as soon as I had that thought — about pushing myself inside her — another strong feeling arose. There was a wild combination of things swirling around in me, love and romance and gratitude, and also, you know, sex!
I hugged Jessica even harder, thrusting my crotch into hers. This threw her momentarily off balance and she stumbled back a step against the closed door. I followed her, still hugging, still thrusting, and then my lips found her mouth.
We kissed frantically. It was pretty sloppy, in fact, two girls so in love and so full of lust that we were all over the place, breathing hard, panting, moaning, our hands grasping and groping, bodies eagerly humping, lips and tongues making a big wet mess of each other’s faces.
After a while, it seemed sort of silly and made us both laugh. We wiped our mouths and grinned at one another.
“You wanna get in bed?” she said.
“Um, yeah. I want to get naked with you, and, um, and do everything.”
“Me too,” Jess giggled.
————————
After some time, Karen and Nora looked around the little restaurant and found they were the only remaining customers. Everyone else had long since finished their meals and departed. The women had been so caught up in their conversation, so enraptured with the sense of a growing intimate relationship, that their surroundings had simply seemed to fade away.
Now, however, they noticed the rather impatient looks they were getting from the waitress and the cashier, and both realized that they’d been asked several times if they wanted anything else.
“Oops, I guess we’d better go,” said Karen, somewhat sheepishly. “Let these people close up.”
“Yeah, I think you’re right.”
Nora reached for the check, but Karen already had grabbed it. “No chance, lady,” she grinned. “It’s on me. You’re my date, and you’re mine for the evening.”
“Ooh, I like the sound of that,” said Nora.
————————
We quickly took off all our clothes, went in the bathroom and peed and brushed our teeth, then got in bed together. Although there were no lights on, all the candles were still burning except for a few that had gone out, so it was pretty bright.
I was glad, because I really wanted to take a good look at Jessica that night. In fact, when we got in bed, I deliberately pushed the sheets down. It was warm in the room, anyway, so we really didn’t need the covers. But mostly it was because I wanted to see her.
Jess was lying on her back in the center of the bed. She looked up at me, grinning. “What? What is it?” she asked.
I was close beside her, on my knees, hands resting on my thighs. I didn’t say anything at first, just smiled and slowly shook my head as I let my eyes run up and down her sweet body.
She was so unbelievably sexy, small and cute like a little girl, but with those beautiful boobies. I’d seen them before, of course, and touched them a couple of times, but now I could do more than that, anything I felt like doing. We had decided to go all the way, so if I wanted to I could kiss and lick her boobs, even suck her nipples.
That thought sent a shiver through me. “Wow,” I breathed.
“What?!” asked Jess again.
“You’re so… you’re so pretty,” I told her.
She gave a big smile. “Thanks. I think you’re pretty too. But come here and kiss me.” She held out her arms.
————————
Hand in hand, Nora and Karen walked back to the car, which was parked near the art gallery. The October night was pleasantly warm and felt wonderful, no need even for a sweater.
They got inside and shut the doors, then Nora asked, “Where to?”
“Wait and see,” Karen winked.
“Uh, okay.”
Karen started up the Audi, and after turning on a Miles Davis CD, drove away. The two women rode quietly for a while, just holding hands, listening to the sensuous romantic music and relaxing in their comfortable closeness.
Nora had thought they might be going back to Karen’s house, or perhaps her own house, or maybe to a bar or a nightclub, but it turned out to be none of those. Instead they left the city altogether, following a road that wound into the surrounding forested hills, gradually climbing higher and higher.
————————
It was different being on top.
Usually when Jess and I made out, she was the more aggressive one, sort of taking charge, and I would end up underneath her. I didn’t mind that at all, in fact I loved it, but tonight for some reason I wanted to change things around.
We kissed for a really long time, naked in her bed with me lying on top of her, and whenever she tried to switch positions, to turn me over, I wouldn’t let her.
“Not yet,” I said at one point, shaking my head. “I wanna be able to look at you and do whatever I feel like.”
“Look at me? What do you mean? You’re seen me lots of times.”
“I know, but this, um… tonight is really special.”
I pushed myself up again, onto my knees, as I wiped my lips. “I mean, see, Jess, you’re just so beautiful. It’s like, I feel so lucky, because of all the kids at school, I have by far the prettiest girlfriend.”
“No, you don’t, silly,” she giggled. “Cuz I do.”
“Aww,” I fell on top of her once more, shoving my tongue into her mouth.
————————
Soon Karen turned onto a secondary road, one that seemed barely used, with broken, uneven paving. They bumped along through the woods and brush for a short time before arriving at a fence and a closed metal gate. Still not explaining her intentions, Karen put the car in park, got out and walked quickly to the gate. She used a key to open the padlock, then swung the gate aside and returned to the car.
Shutting her door, she smiled at Nora. “My family owns this property. It’s not really developed at all, but it is good for some things.”
Once inside the gate, they drove on a little farther. Nora noticed that the road was smoother here. Even though it was paved with gravel, not asphalt, it seemed to be well maintained.
They came to an opening, a clearing in the woods that permitted an expansive view of the valley and the city below. Karen pulled up near the edge of the road, facing the view, and turned off the engine. She pressed a button to lower the windows.
It was very quiet. The music was off, and now the only sounds they could hear were a few crickets chirping or an occasional light breeze that rustled the leaves in the trees.
“Wow,” said Nora, “this is beautiful.”
Karen nodded. “Yeah, I really love this spot. I don’t come here as much now, but back in high school, well, it got plenty of use then.”
That made Nora chuckle. “So you’d drive up here and park, and… what? Make out?”
“Sure, make out — and a lot more too.”
“With boys? Or girls? Or… both?”
“Both,” Karen shrugged. “I was a cheerleader, and I guess most of the boys wanted me. I had fun with several of them, but also with a few of the more adventurous cheerleaders. Me and the girls would have some pretty wild times up here after games, drinking, smoking pot, having sex. It was nice.”
“Sounds like it.”
Karen turned and looked at Nora. She grinned and wagged her eyebrows. “I’ll bet you were popular in high school too, probably made out all the time.”
Nora grimaced, shaking her head. “Actually, no, I really wasn’t. I was pretty shy back then, and I had a reputation as a bookworm, which I suppose I deserved. Plus I wore eyeglasses, and —”
“You had glasses then? Do you wear contacts now?”
“No, uh, I didn’t get contacts until my senior year in high school. Then a few years ago I had laser eye surgery and now, thank goodness, my vision is just about perfect.”
“Uh-huh,” Karen leered, “your vision, and your figure, and your personality, everything is just about perfect.”
Nora grinned, “Aw, I’ll bet you say that to all the girls.”
“No, I don’t. Well, I might say it to all the girls, but not to all the women. I’m pretty choosy when it comes to having a real relationship, something beyond just fucking and having fun, I mean.”
Nora didn’t offer any reply, just sat quietly. She appreciated the compliment, but she was wondering about the other part of that statement, the reference to girls as opposed to women.
Did that really mean what she thought it meant? Although they’d covered many different topics during their conversations at the gallery and over dinner, they had yet to discuss what Nora thought of as the big subject, Numero Uno. She was dying to really open up to Karen, tell her absolutely everything, let her know about her obsessions with pornography and especially with underage girls. Did Karen have the same desires, share those same fantasies? There seemed to be plenty of hints that perhaps she did, but Nora still wasn’t certain. How and when should she bring that up?
Her silent reverie was interrupted by Karen asking, “Do you want to get out, walk around for a few minutes?”
“Oh, uh, sure.”
They left the car and slowly strolled along the open part of the road, enjoying the woodland scenery, the stars above, the beautiful view of the city below.
After a minute or so, they drew to a stop. Karen turned toward the other woman, looking up at her. Nora was nearly half a foot taller. To kiss her, Karen would need to get up on tiptoes. She fully intended to do that, but first she wanted to say something.
“This is, um, I mean, what I feel for you,” she began, “it’s, you know, it’s not just a sexual attraction. It’s more than that. Of course I do want you sexually, very much.”
“Good,” Nora chuckled, “because I want you too.”
Reaching up, Karen placed a hand on Nora’s cheek. “But I… I really hope that we, that you and I, that we can have something together. Something long-lasting and very special.”
Nora’s stomach fluttered. “So do I.”
Karen stood on tiptoes. They kissed.
————————
We kissed for such a long time. I’d kind of expected, since me and Jess were planning to go all the way that night, that we’d begin doing other stuff sooner, but we didn’t. We just kept kissing.
I was still on top of her, holding her close. Jessica’s arms and her legs were wrapped around me, our bodies pressed together. We were, of course, doing a little bit more than simply kissing — I mean, we were sort of humping each other too, and moaning, and sometimes talking, saying sweet things, but mostly it was a lot of mouth and tongue action.
Eventually, though, we both seemed to want more. After maybe a half hour of making out, I noticed that our humping was starting to become more urgent. It was like our bodies were reminding us this wasn’t enough. We kept pushing our mounds together, grinding on each other. I didn’t know if I could come that way, or if she could, but it really didn’t matter. She and I were lovers now, and we could do whatever we wanted with one another. However we felt like coming, we could do that.
This was incredibly exciting for me to think about, to realize that there were no limits. If I wanted suck her nipples, or put my finger inside her pussy, or even lick her pussy, I could do that. I could do anything!
And, you know, it’s kind of funny how my mind works, I mean, the way it never seems to stop working no matter what else I’m doing. I have this one little part of me that’s always looking on, observing and commenting. Weird, huh?
But anyway, back to me and Jess.
While we were kissing and humping and grinding in her bed, and as my pussy was feeling wetter and wetter, throbbing and tingling, telling me how much I really needed an orgasm, and as I reminded myself there were no limits at this point, I took the next step. Shifting slightly to the side, I slid my hand down between her legs.
————————
Their first kiss was very soft, almost tentative.
Karen and Nora had kissed a few times before, but much more casually, just in greeting. This was the first kiss that truly meant something between them, that occurred after they had begun to express their deeper feelings for one another. This kiss signaled a commitment.
The first one was soft and tender. The second was not.
The women flung their arms around each other, pressing their bodies together, mouths coming open, tongues exploring. Standing on the side of the gravel road in the night air, they kissed deeply and wetly.
————————
Oh my god, wow!
My pussy will get pretty wet when I’m excited, especially when I come, but when I reached my hand down between Jessica’s legs, I could not believe what I felt there. Her pussy lips were totally covered in goo, all slippery and creamy. And then suddenly I realized something — some of that wet stuff I felt on my own mound was not just me. When I was humping her before, pussy to pussy as we kissed, a lot of her had rubbed off on me. My girlfriend and I were sharing pussy juice. It was so awesome!
I brought my hand up to my face to look at it. Even in the flickering candlelight, it was easy to see all that gooey white cream on my fingers. I sniffed it, then licked it. “Mmm, nice.”
Jessica giggled, smiling sheepishly. I took another lick, then lowered my hand to her mouth. She sucked on my fingers, tasting herself.
————————
Nora had not done anything like this in, well, basically, ever. She’d never done anything quite like this, standing on a hillside late at night, kissing a beautiful woman under the stars. It was the sort of fictional thing you might read about in a steamy romance novel, but this was really happening. There was no question about that.
She could feel Karen’s tongue in her mouth, feel those strong hands stroking her back. She could smell the woman’s perfume, along with a hint of her sweat, and she could certainly hear Karen moaning and groaning as their tongues played and their hands caressed.
Finally the long kiss came to an end. Karen drew away just slightly, grinning, panting, licking her lips. Both hands, however, were on Nora’s ass, keeping their mounds pulled tightly together.
“I think, uh, we should go back to the car now,” Karen suggested. “We can maybe get in the back seat, and, you know, do more there.”
Nora was happy to agree. “All right, I like that idea.”
————————
After Jess had finished sucking her juices from my fingers, I put my hand back between her legs. I rubbed up and down, feeling her puffy pussy lips covered with goo. Then I pushed my fingers in further, between her lips.
She groaned. I brought my mouth to hers, kissing her again. As we kissed, I slid my hand down a little more, searching for her opening. I knew where mine was, naturally, because I fucked myself every night with my fingers, but I had never done it with her. When we’d masturbated each other that first time a week earlier, it was just playing with clits. This was different. I totally wanted to fuck her.
I found what I was looking for, that soft squishy part where I could push my fingertip inside. Jessica groaned again, even louder, and arched her back, pressing her crotch into my hand.
Although I wasn’t exactly sure what I was doing, since I had never had sex with anyone before, boy or girl, I did have plenty of experience with my own body, pleasing myself, and so I just tried to do with her what I knew would feel good to me.
She seemed to like it well enough. I kissed her mouth and rubbed her pussy, pushing my finger inside, fucking her, then pulling out for a quick second to tickle her clit with my wet fingertip… going back and forth, repeating this same thing over and over.
Pretty soon Jess started panting, kind of huffing and puffing. We weren’t kissing any more then, and I leaned back a little so I could look at her but kept doing what I was doing with my hand between her legs. In fact, I pushed my finger in deeper when I fucked her, and rubbed her clit faster when I did that.
Her eyes were squeezed tightly shut, and her face was all scrunched up, turning red. It looked like she was holding her breath. Then, as I watched, she gasped a couple of times, her body jerked, and suddenly she let out a long, high squeal, almost a scream.
She was coming! Oh my god, it was so great — I made my girlfriend come!!
————————
As they walked arm in arm back up the gravel road toward the car (taking their time because both were in three-inch heels), Nora mused, “I wonder, hmm… what our girls are doing now. I hope they’re having fun tonight.”
“Well,” Karen chuckled, “my guess is, those two probably are doing all the things I want to do with you.”
“Wow. You really think so?”
“Uh-huh, I wouldn’t doubt it.”
Nora considered this for a moment, picturing the scene in her mind, then said, “It’s, uh, that’s… pretty hot to think about.”
Karen squeezed her hand. “Yeah, it sure is.”
