The door opened and Sue looked up. The smile on her face fading to concern as she looked into the face of her long term lover. Terry stood, a small smile on her face, it usually lit up with her smiles, this one hardly touched her face never mind her eyes. She stood to one side and let Sue in, watching as the taller woman went to pass her. Sue dropped a light kiss onto Terry's lips and scrutinized her face.
"You ok?" She asked.
Terry nodded mutely, fighting tears she had been fighting for days, not knowing why, simply knowing that if she did not cry at some point, she would fester beyond all reason. Sue took her hand and led her into the living room. Putting her bag down she took off her shoes and jacket and turned to face her lover. Opening her arms, the younger woman stepped into them and was immediately wrapped in love and concern. It was like opening the flood gates. She stood and the tears flowed.
The women stood in silence, Sue's arms tightly holding Terry as she silently broke her heart, she felt as though she would never stop, she simply took comfort in the warmth and care around her.
Sue moved and took Terry's hand.
"Come on you, upstairs." She said.
Terry followed in her wake, allowing Sue to take charge, needing to let go, to stop fighting and simply be. Sue walked into the bedroom and turned to Terry. She bent and kissed her gently, softly. She moved across her face, kissing her tears, her cheeks, her nose and finally her eyes.
"I'm sorry." Terry whispered sniffing.
"Hush." Sue answered gently and reached down to grab a tissue from the box at the side of the bed. She handed it to Terry and smiled. Terry took it with a crooked grin and blew her nose hard. Sue handed her another one and watched as Terry finished blowing her nose and trying her face.
"Better?" She asked.
"Yeah, no, maybe, I dunno." Terry answered with a shrug, another tear rolling slowly down her face.
"Oh you silly." Sue smiled as she lifted her hand and wiped away the tear with her thumb. She gathered the shorter woman into her arms again, kissing the top of her head and laying her cheek against it as she felt Terry's arms come around her.
Terry stood and breathed in deeply, the smell of Sue was so distinctive, perfume and washing powder, clean clothes and clean skin. She ran her hands gently around Sues waist and tightened her grip, holding as though her life depended on it, as though if she let go, she would lose everything she had ever known, had ever held dear.
Sue sighed as Terry held her, her own fingers gently moving over the shorter woman, instilling comfort. She lifted her hand and ran her fingers lightly over her head, trailing through her hair softly. Terry lifted her head and looked at Sue who bent her head and kissed Terry softly. A long deep breath left Terry as Sue kissed her, it was like being home. Sues hands moved over Terry with a practice borne of old. One by one clothes dropped to the floor until she was left standing in her panties. Terry lifted her head and the two women kissed once more, Sues tongue sliding across Terry's lips as she responded. As they kissed, Terry's hands deftly undid Sue's clothes and they joined hers on the floor. Sue moaned softly as Terry bit her bottom lip, tugging on it slightly before going back to take and capture Sues tongue. The two women stood, bodies pressing together, the warmth of their skin passing between them. Sue pulled away.
"Bed." One word, softly spoken.
Sue turned and moved onto the bed, Terry followed and curled into Sues arms once more. She lay with her head on Sues breast, hearing her heart beat, her fingers moving slowly over Sues skin. Sue trailed her fingers up and down Terry's back, running like water trickling in a brook over pebbles worn flat with age and time. Terry closed her eyes and breathed in deeply once more. She wished she could stay in this cocoon forever, closing the world and all its pains out, the hurt that had built over time forgotten, the pain currently locked away until she could stand it no longer and it had overflowed and spilt over everything she held dear, everyone precious in her life. Her hands stopped moving and she lay still, surrounding herself in her own personal bubble wrap, quietly drifting off to sleep in the arms of someone who truly cared, truly loved.
Terry was woken sometime later by Sue's fluid hands moving over her. She woke her so very gently, touching, exploring, although she knew every inch of Terry's body. Sues hands moved lightly as though touching her for the first time ever. Terry responded to her touch and Sue moved down the bed slightly until they faced each other. Her hand came up and she traced the lines of Terry's face, across her cheeks, the bridge of her nose, around her eyes and then the line of her lips. As her fingers left Terry's lips, her own lips replaced them. So softly it was almost a whisper and Terry sighed as the tip of Sues tongue traced the line of her lip. Lips met gently, a kiss as soft as the recently heard sigh, barely touching but as deep as the ocean. Sue pulled back and watched Terry as she savoured what she had just been given.
Savouring the tiny kiss, Terry instantly wanted more, feeling as though it had lasted forever but was gone as quickly as it had arrived. She ran the tip of her finger over her lips as though to rub the kiss in, in some small way. She opened her eyes to find Sues deep blue ones looking at her. Under the scrutiny, Terry blushed and Sue smiled, leaning forward to kiss the rosy blush on her cheeks. Terry giggled and she smiled as she looked at her lover once more.
Terry watched Sue, drinking in the woman lying next to her, the deep blue eyes watching her still. She lifted her hand once more and touched Sue's lips. Sue closed her eyes and just as Terry's finger reached the centre of the rose bud she moved her head slightly and parted them. As she captured Terry's finger she pursed her lips around it and sucked gently. Terry watched as Sues tongue played with the tip of her finger, her mouth slightly open, her breathing quickening. Leaning forward she pulled her finger from Sues mouth and replaced it with her own lips. Small kisses placed one after the other until finally neither of them could hold back.
Terry's tongue slid in between Sues lips and took possession of her. Sues hand moved to Terry's hip and rested there as Terry's own hand cupped Sues face gently. Eyes closed, the two women lost each other in kisses, bodies moving closer together as Sues hand slid further around Terry's back. Terry's hand moved around Sues head and her fingers wound into her hair. Her fingers tightened and a mewl of pleasure left Sue as she felt the tug against her scalp. her kisses becoming more empassioned, harder, deeper, her arm pulling Terry in.
Pulling her head right back, Terry rolled Sue onto her back and broke their kiss, moving down her throat, biting first lightly and the more deeply, wanting to illicit a response, any response from her lover. Sue squirmed under her, a myriad of moans escaping her as Terry alternated between soft kisses and angry, temper filled bites. She lay and took it all, savouring them, each one a release, not just for Terry but for her too. having taken on the angst of the woman beside her they both now felt the need to release it.
Sues hand trailed softly up Terry's back, her long fingers snaking up to the nape of her neck and into her hair. Terry in turn, moved down and reached Sues nipples, taking one and biting it hard. Sues back arched as she squirmed and drew her breath in sharply. Sues fingers tightened in Terry's hair and she pulled hard. Terry continued to bite on Sue, her moans vibrating around her teeth and in turn around Sue's nipple. The harder she bit, the more Sue pulled, each of them knowing the other would not win. In all their time together, neither had found the others pain threshold. It wasn't about to be found now and Sue released her grip slightly, indicating to Terry to loosen her grip also. Terry gave one final tug and let it go with a small snap of her teeth.
As Terry moved down Sue's body, her nails trailed behind her. Sometimes deeply. sometimes softly, yet again bringing different moans from the woman in her care. Sues fingers stayed in Terry's hair, moving with her, directing but not, as Terry kissed and bit her way down. Terry breathed in deeply, taking in Sues scent, overlaid heavily with the smell of Sues sex, the closer she got the headier it became. She bit Sue's stomach, the legacy of childbirth evident, loved by Terry, hated in turn by Sue. As she reached Sues mons she placed a heavy kiss on the smooth skin, sucking, leaving her mark, her brand, claiming her.
Sue arched her hips up to Terry, the need growing in her to be taken. Terry's tongue snaked out again and the tip of it flicked the curve of her slit, collecting the wetness, loving the taste. Sue moaned and pulled on Terry's hair, pulling her away from her, needy but wanting to prolonge the need. As she pulled on her hair, she pulled her upwards again, up her body. Terry had no choice but to follow. As she reached Sues breasts she tried to stop and toy once more but Sue had other ideas and Terry whimpered in frustration as she was pulled upwards.
Sue stopped pulling as Terry drew level with her face once more and puller her in towards her, kissing her deeply and passionately. Her hands possessively gripping at her, one around her backside, the other on her breast, kneading and squeezing as if to leave lasting imprints. She bit Terry's tongue as it slid between her teeth, then sucked it into her mouth, fucking it as she would have sucked a cock.
Sue lifted her leg and threw it over Terry's hip, wrapping it tightly and pulling her in, taking the place of her hand which was now travelling possessively up her body, until it reached her head once more. As suddenly as lust had taken a grip, it let go again and Sues hand cupped Terry's face so gently that she was taken aback.
The deep, passionate kisses subsided into smaller, gentler ones as Sue showered her lovers face with them. Small butterfly kisses all over her face and neck, her thumb smoothing her cheek as the fingers on her other hand loosened their grip and simply played gently with her hair.
Sues leg remained latched over Terry's hip and she now rolled her onto her back, going with her until she lay fully on top of her. She still showered Terry's face and neck with kisses but her hands now moved gently and softly over her body, never possessing, simply partaking. She sat up and her finger tips took in every inch of skin that it could, following the line of Terry's shoulder, neck and throat, a single fingernail run lightly down the centre of her décolletage was enough to make the woman shiver and Sue smiled as she felt the ripple go through her body. Not a word had been spoken between them, but it was not needed. They had known each other for so long now that it was simply there. No demands, no doubts, just comfort. Being.
Sue ran one hand down each of Terry's arms and interlinked their fingers. As she leaned forward to lie on top of her once more, their breasts melting together almost as one, skin on skin. Terry sighed, feeling some small amount of peace back in her life, if only for the shortest time. That single thought made her draw a shuddering breath and once more her eyes threatened to overflow with the tears so readily shed these days, tears that frustrated her, tears that made her a different person, a person she hated, a weak person with no worth.
