A few words, first of all, about the differences between boy-love and girl-love. Boy-love is much simpler. Men are like puppets, marionettes to be precise, and there's only one string to pull. Women are puppets, too, but with a whole hell of a lot more strings. I have extensive experience with both sorts of love. My problem is I can't be happy with one or the other, which is the reason I'm in such an odd situation.
All I really wanted was a happy family of my own. I've always had very strong maternal instincts. When I was a little girl, I used to bring home all kinds of pets. I especially liked ones which were sick, so I could nurse them back to health. I took in stray kittens, injured puppies, little orphaned bunny rabbits, and once even a rat I found half-drowned in our swimming pool. I must have saved a hundred little lives before I left that suburban hell-hole my mother insisted on calling home. All I asked in return was love and eternal obedience.
As an adult, I graduated from sick animals to lost, wounded human beings. Not much difference, really. Like with the animals, the people seemed drawn to me like metal fillings to a magnet. I wasn't even really looking, but they found me all the same. And, for a while, I had gathered around me the perfect family I had always wanted. We really had something special. A mama bear and three baby bears. It was the happiest and most frustrating few weeks of my entire life. Too bad magnetism wasn't enough to hold us together, me and my three lovers.
PAULA- Paula was the first one. I met her at school, in a poetry class. The girl was a mess, frankly. A shy, dark-haired girl who always sat in the back of the room and barely talked to anybody. Everything about her was calculated to draw attention away from herself. Her clothes were drab and unflattering. Her face was very pretty, but she hid behind clunky glasses and a hairstyle which looked like it belonged on the head of a nineteenth-century school marm.
I saw potential. Every time I looked at her, I had this strange urge to take her home and scrub off the oppressive upbringing she wore like a second skin. I wanted to shape her into something beautiful. My maternal instincts asserting themselves again, I guess.
So I asked Paula if she would model for me. She was both flattered and embarrassed. I had to reassure her over and over that I wasn't playing some kind of joke. She had such low self-esteem. It was my hope that if I could draw her, and make her look beautiful, then maybe she would start to believe it herself. It wasn't until after she had agreed, and I actually I had her up in my apartment that I told her I wanted to draw her in the nude.
That took a lot more persuasion on my part, believe me, but I finally talked her out of her clothes. I had her take off her glasses and let down her hair, and recline on my sofa so that the sunlight shone on her body. Freed from her limited fashion sense, she was beautiful. Gorgeous, curvaceous body. Angelic, child-like face. And her breasts . . . oooh. I've always been turned on by breasts and if mine were like Paula's, I would definitely flaunt them. But Paula always wore an industrial-strength bra, usually under a loose sweater and even a jacket if the day wasn't too hot. You couldn't tell what she had under all that. That's why I couldn't take my eyes off her tits when they were finally exposed.
I sketched a few lines, but my hand was shaking so badly from arousal that I knew I wouldn't be able to draw anything worthwhile. Paula was turned on, too. It was obvious. Her nipples were hard like little pebbles and when my eyes drifted down between her legs, I saw that she glistened with moisture. Seeing this got me even hotter. I tried to draw her breasts, but sketching them made me wonder what it would be like to touch them and I couldn't even pretend I was focused on the drawing any more.
I went to Paula, touching her under the pretense of adjusting her pose. But I couldn't pull it off. I wanted her so badly.
"Paula," I said. "You are so beautiful. I want to kiss you."
Her voice trembled when she answered. She said: "All right."
We kissed, open and full and hungry. I wasn't even a hundred percent sure she was into girls until she kissed me. But the kiss left no doubt. My hands found her breasts and caressed them gently.
"Will you come to bed with me?" I asked.
Paula nodded. She followed me down the hall.
"I've never done this before," Paula said as she watched me undress. "You know, with a girl."
I smiled. God, I love virgins. I slid into bed naked beside her.
What I remember most about that day, besides Paula's wonderful breasts which I just couldn't get enough of, was the way her whole body shook when I went down on her. Every girl tastes different, and Paula was musky and heady as red wine. When I found her clitoris and sucked on it, it was like earthquakes going through her body. Like a constant orgasm. I've never seen a woman, or even a man for that matter, get off so strongly.
She wouldn't go down on me that first time, like she was scared to for some reason, but she loved to kiss and explore my body with her hands. One advantage women have over men is that you don't have to teach them how to stroke a pussy. They touch you like they touch themselves, and in this way too, every woman is different. Paula's fingers moved slowly but with great pressure. I licked them clean when she was done.
DARYL- Paula and I had been together exclusively for two years before I started to get a serious craving for dick. That was how Daryl entered the picture. Daryl had the three qualities I was most attracted to in a man. He was gorgeous, dumb as a post, and queer as a three-dollar bill. I love gay guys, but I'm no fag hag. I always get my man.
