Laura's heart was still beating fast and her mind was a blur of emotions. She felt hesitant, almost scared but at the same time she felt excited and curious. But the feeling that now came to the fore was sadness. She looked over at Kelly who was in the bed on the other side of the small cabin from her. Laura felt bad that she had withdrawn from Kelly's advances. She had allowed things to get steamy, allowed her lips to touch Kelly's as the two were about to kiss but she immediately reeled away, unsure if she really wanted it and what Kelly's intentions were. She hoped that Kelly wasn't too upset or disappointed.
The two young women were on a university field trip for biology and had signed up to stay together in the cabin while many of the others on the research trip had elected to stay in tents closer to the beach they were investigating. The cabin itself was basically just a wooden hut with two beds on either side of the room and a large window on one wall, which allowed the glow from an external light to illuminate the room quite brightly. A cupboard in one corner near the door was the only other structure in the room. This meant that privacy wasn't an option but neither Laura nor Kelly minded as they had been friends for a long time and had made use of public showers together at their local gym on numerous occasions in the past so getting changed in front of each other wasn't a big deal.
But now that Kelly had taken a step beyond their regular friendship, Laura wasn't sure what to think. She had been laying there still for some time thinking about it and now rolled over to look at Kelly who was lying on her back with just the sheet pulled up to her shoulders. As she looked over, she noticed Kelly's hands under the sheet seemed to be moving around near her waist. As Laura watched on, she suddenly realised what Kelly was doing, she was obviously masturbating! At first Laura thought about turning away embarrassed, but her curiosity was taking over and her heart fluttered with excitement. At that point, Laura realised that Kelly had obviously been serious when she made advances toward her and she must have been still turned-on by what had almost happened.
Laura could feel herself getting aroused as she watched so she gave into the feeling of curiosity and allowed her apprehension to drop. She slid one of her hands down to her crotch and inside her shorts. She was amazed at how sensitive she was and felt a jolt of pleasure run through her as she gave her clit a few soft, gentle rubs. All the while she never took her gaze off of Kelly who now was biting her bottom lip as her hands moved quicker.
"I can't believe how turned on I am!" Laura thought. "I can't just lay here and watch Kelly after I had rejected her. It doesn't feel right."
A final feel of her now moist pussy was enough to make up Laura's mind. She wanted to join Kelly. She wanted to experiment with her, having never been with another girl before, curiosity took over. Silently, she slipped out of her bed and crept closer to Kelly's. She stood looking down on Kelly trying to think of how she could interrupt her without startling her. Laura was fully illuminated by the light outside and it accentuated her lovely soft curves and the flowing locks of rich brown hair which hung over her shoulders. She was only wearing a white singlet top, her small nipples clearly visible through the thin material, and soft, pink cotton boxer shorts which were slightly crumpled but, combined with the top, she could be unquestionably described as cute and rather girly despite being in her early twenties.
Kelly still hadn't noticed Laura standing there and was still pleasuring herself when Laura finally made a quite noise, almost a moan. Kelly's opened her eyes and looked up at Laura who stood there smiling at her with a sheepish, awkward look on her face. Instinctually she stopped touching herself and pretended she wasn't doing anything when Laura had interrupted her.
"Oh Laura, I was um, do you want something?" Kelly stammered as she tried to gather her thoughts and her breath. She was somewhat annoyed that she had been interrupted at that point as she had been drawing closer to orgasm, the first in weeks for her and one that she felt she desperately needed after the wait since last time.
"Sorry to disturb you Kelly but I wanted to ask you something." Laura asked shyly.
"What is it?" Kelly replied.
"I feel a bit bad about what happened earlier and had been thinking about it some more. Actually, I was wondering if I could join in your, um, fun?"
"Fun?" Kelly asked with a slightly embarrassed tone.
"Well I had been watching you for a few minutes sorry and it looked like you were, you know, touching yourself. At least that's what it looked like to me."
Kelly was about to deny it out of sudden embarrassment, but she stopped herself and thought for a second. Laura hadn't asked her to stop masturbating but had just asked if she could join her. She had been so horny, so overcome with emotion when she had made advances to Laura earlier in the night and the feeling of disappointment had been strong when Laura didn't respond as Kelly wanted her to. But now, she was taking the first step towards her and Kelly knew she wanted this more than anything in the world right now.
Kelly had only had one experience with a girl before and while she enjoyed being with guys, she always found herself fantasising about other women when she masturbated. Kelly had always fancied Laura, though she knew Laura was straight. She had such a gorgeous body and always had an innocent playfulness about her which Kelly found intoxicating. As she lay there, one hand still inside her panties, she looked up at Laura and felt her heart begin to race with excitement.
"Um, yeah you caught me. I was have a bit of fun before I went to sleep." Kelly finally replied to Laura. "And I'd love it if you joined me."
Laura smiled and nervously got into bed with Kelly, the sheet covering them both as Laura laid on her back looking at Kelly while Kelly rolled over onto her side to face her.
"So do you do it much?" Laura asked, trying to think of what to say.
"Only when I don't have someone else to take care of me." Kelly responded cheekily.
Both of them giggled at the comment and lay staring into each other's eyes for a few moments. Kelly couldn't hold back any longer, she moved closer and kissed Laura who didn't hesitate or withdraw this time, she instead kissed Kelly back passionately, their tongues now probing into each other's mouth. Kelly slipped one hand back down inside her pants and gently rubbed herself while she hugged Laura with her other.
