Chapter III - The Awakening
"It won't hurt much", Nicole said, turning sideways to face the girl sitting next to her. "Excuse me?" said the brunette, not rudely, but more nervously. "I overheard you asking the receptionist about the Brazilian wax; it won't hurt much", Nicole repeated. They were waiting at the salon next to campus. The petite brunette sat a little more comfortably in her seat after Nicole's assurance.
At this point, Nicole and Brad had been together for almost a year. Their magnetic attraction was still going strong, despite the usual ups and downs of an open relationship. They occasionally partied with Vanessa, who definitely helped Nicole come into her own as a sexually empowered, and more importantly, confident woman. Looking into the mirror, she no longer found herself ordinary and she knew exactly what Brad, among many others, saw in her.
Brad hadn't anticipated Nicole eventually becoming a switch, because submission had come so easily to her; but through the last couple of months, Nicole had been gaining the upper hand and using her power over Brad, if only for short periods of time. Brad was no switch; he hated relinquishing control, but at least, he allowed her to experiment.
Ironically enough, Nicole did need Brad's permission to experiment. The few things she tried with different guys never completely satisfied her and she found herself not wanting to let go of Brad. They were a good team, even outside of bed, even though they didn't like to admit that very often. So Brad let her experiment with girls and practice her control on them - sometimes they both enjoyed the conquest.
Here was potentially another conquest...
E: Yeah, it's my first time. I normally don't worry much about this stuff, but my boyfriend asked me to get one, so I guess I'm here now. I'm Elizabeth, by the way, you can call me Elle.
N: Hi Elle, I'm Nicole. Nice to meet you.
Nicole's eyes were already sizing up Elle, noting her slight build, thin legs and imagining a pair of small and firm breasts. She seemed impressionable enough to be an easy conquest. "Try not to come during the wax" she said, to get a response out of her, to see if she could provoke her - and she hit the jackpot: "Oh I don't think that's going to be a problem", Elle said, "it never happens for me." Trap set and shut, Nicole's eyes shone.
N: Tell you what. I could help you out with that. You know, give you a few pointers and stuff?
E: Oh no, thanks. That would be cheating. Dan would be so upset, then I wouldn't know what to do without him.
N: Don't be silly, it's not cheating. I won't even touch you. Just show you a few things that might help. And then you can do those with Dan and he'll go crazy, he'll come so hard, because you're such a good girl. Just think about it. I'll see you after the wax.
Half an hour later, Elle came back out with a slightly flushed face. Nicole was already out, waiting for her.
E: That wasn't too bad. I actually kind of like how smooth it is now.
N: Yea? That's a good start. Did you think about me, I mean, about what I suggested?
E: Yes. I guess it's all right, if you don't touch me. Dan gets upset when I can't come and then sex hurts, but I don't tell him, because he'll get upset.
N: We won't tell him anything and next time you can pretend it was all him and he'll be happy and you'll be so wet, you'll enjoy all of it.
Nicole did her best not to push Elle further than that, knowing she'd come around. They hung out a few times on campus for Elle to start getting comfortable around Nicole, who also briefly met the boyfriend, Dan. He had a handsome face, but didn't make much of an impression beyond that and he certainly didn't know what Nicole had in mind when she said they were going to have a girls' night in.
Nicole showed up at Elle's room that night, carrying a six-pack of beers and a small baggie in her back pocket.
N: Hi Elle, how's it going?
E: I'm nervous now. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.
N: Don't worry so much. I'm only trying to help you out. Here, I brought us some beers. You drink beer, right?
Elle took a bottle out of the six-pack. The girls said cheers and drank in silence for a little bit. She must have felt even more awkward, because Elle went to her computer to put some music on, never noticing that Nicole slipped something in both bottles.
By the time both bottles were empty, the atmosphere had mellowed down considerably. Elle had no objections when Nicole started undressing and then she joined in. They sat on Elle's bed, facing each other. Nicole was openly checking Elle out, while Elle was understandably more shy about looking at Nicole's naked breasts and smooth pussy.
