Bonds of Friendship
4 - The Toystore
I woke, tangled in another's arms, a warm body against my back. I was tempted to stay right where I was. Mom was looking after Zoe until the following day, and we had no commitments. But I didn't want to inflict morning-Erin on Faye. My friend - my
lover
- deserved better after sharing herself with me.
So I carefully freed myself without waking her, started coffee brewing, then took a quick shower. I couldn't avoid washing my hair after a night's dancing, but I dried it quickly and incompletely, just enough to brush it out. I slipped on clean underwear and a light robe, then checked on Faye, who was fortunately still asleep, with a smile on her face.
I finished the coffee, as she liked it, put a couple of her favorite cookies on a plate and took it through. She was still asleep, but had rolled over. Possibly the smell of the coffee or my absence from bed had penetrated through to her sleeping state.
"Good morning, sweetie," I said, softly, rubbing her bare arm.
Faye rolled all the way onto her back, her lovely breasts quivering as she raised her hand to her face and slowly opened her eyes. She gave me an unfocused look, then suddenly her eyes opened wide in surprise, as though she'd just remembered that last night really happened.
"Lift up," I instructed. "I've brought coffee. Let me rearrange your pillows so you can sit."
Still wordlessly, seeming a little dazed, Faye did as I suggested, lifting the sheet over her breasts. Then she leaned back, glanced down at her hand clutching the sheet and chuckled, letting it fall.
I handed her the coffee, and she took a sip before finally speaking, her voice not yet steady. "That's so sweet of you, Erin. Thank you."
I smiled at her. "I figured it would help give you a sense of comfort. You're waking up in a strange bed. A strange situation. I think your world just changed more than mine did." I felt my cheeks warm. "At least, I hope your world changed, too."
She lifted her eyes to mine. "You mean, do I regret last night?"
I nodded.
Faye shook her head. "I've been imagining being with you for a long time. I just didn't know how it would be." She grinned at me. "Now I know, I think I'm going to have a hard time not imagining
more
."
My heart eased. I stroked her arm again, then went back to the kitchen, returned with my coffee, and sat beside her, rearranging my pillow.
"You're being very unfair, though," Faye said. Her voice had recovered. Her long dark hair looked more like a bird's nest, but she was fully awake, now.
"How's that?" I asked.
"You're all covered up, and as I've
seen
you notice, I'm not," she said.
My eyes flicked down to her small pale nipples, and my face warmed again. "Well, I do like what I see," I admitted, "and I'm hoping you'll be uncovering me again."
"I like that idea," she said. She took another sip of coffee, then bit into a cookie. "I'm going to go home first and clean up. You showered already."
"All the way home?" I asked in mock panic.
"Mmhmm," she replied. "
Maybe
I'll come back to your place after I've showered."
"I'll eagerly await the ring of the doorbell," I replied, as she slipped out of bed and left the room with her coffee and remaining cookie.

While Faye was showering, I got out of bed and tidied the house, recovering and re-folding Faye's sequin dress, and picking up my blue dress from the floor. I set Faye's shoes and the dress beside the door to her room, took my dress and shoes to mine, and after realizing I was missing something, I found Faye's bra beside the bed, then added it to the stack beside her room.
After pouring myself another coffee, I fluffed the pillows and re-made the bed, then climbed in to await Faye's return.
~~~~~
Faye took a lot longer showering than I had, but she had completely dried and brushed out her hair. She wore a short, belted robe.
I smiled at her. "You look lovely," I said.
She flushed slightly. "Would you like me to bring you more coffee?" she asked.
I shook my head. "I just want you," I murmured.
She moved to my side of the bed, rather than climbing into the other side. Lowering her face to mine, she found my lips with her own, and our kiss left no doubt about what each of us wanted. Her hand slipped inside my robe and squeezed my breast, pinching my nipple. I groaned as I felt myself start to get wet.
Faye pulled the sheets back. "Move over," she instructed, climbing onto the bed beside me, then rolling onto me, covering my body with hers.
After enjoying the feel of her body against mine for a while, I slid my hands between us and unfastened her robe. Then I opened it and took one breast in each hand. Faye shivered atop me, and she pressed her sex to mine.
I gripped Faye's waist, using my hold to lift her, breaking our kiss and sliding a few inches down her body to suckle her breasts. Her small nipples became hard to my tongue. Judging by the sounds she made, they were also very sensitive. Her hips moved against my belly as I switched between breasts, my hands kneading them or caressing the smooth skin of her waist.
She was panting when she lifted herself away from me. Shrugging out of her robe, she murmured, "My turn," then slid down my body to work on my nipples with her lips and fingers.
My breasts have always been small, but my nipples had been very sensitive when Jared and I first started sleeping together. After Zoe was born, I breastfed her, my nipples and breasts growing slightly larger, and when I'd stopped, my breasts had gradually returned to about their original size, but my nipples remained a little wider, and had lost much of their sensitivity. Of course, Jared's interest in them had waned, so it seemed like no great loss.
Last night was the first time since I'd given birth that my breasts had felt like a key part of my sexual responsiveness. Faye had rekindled their sensitivity. Now, as she suckled, I became ever more wet, my clitoris swelling as her lips and tongue stimulated my nipples. I couldn't stop myself writhing under her, or prevent my heart from racing or my breath becoming ragged.
