Dani's mind was in a state of restless confusion - she was not a lesbian. She knew this because she knew that she liked men. Whilst she was not a slut she had been with enough men to know that she enjoyed the feeling of a strong man taking her, parting her legs and sliding his cock inside her. And besides sex with a man was normal, natural.
Her mind drifted back to her school days and the awkward moments spent undressing in front of the other girls before PhysEd classes. She recalled how she used to wrap a towel around her, cast her eyes to the floor and quickly undress; she also recalled the almost nauseas feeling that she got in the pit of her stomach, being around other naked women. That feeling was back, and it was back strong.
"Sorry about that, the neighbour wanted to know if our electricity was off too. So it's not just us!". Talia smiled and plopped down next to her friend on the couch. "Wine, candles, now where were we....".
"Uh, sorry, I think I have to go - I'm late and, uh, Conrad is maybe home", Dani said and squirmed in the chair where just a few minutes earlier she had been locked in a not-quite passionate, but not altogether friendly, kiss with Talia.
"You have to go?". Just like that you have to go? What about me? You just gonna leave me here?".
"Sorry Talia, I don't know what happened back there - it's just that... you know I'm not...".
"You not what Dan? Not what? You been sending signals my way for MONTHS now!".
"No I have not! I have a boyfriend!".
"You have a boyfriend? You have a BOYFRIEND? What the fuck is that supposed to mean Dani? Look me in the eye and tell me that you have no feelings for me?".
A combination of wine and the lingering smell of Talia's lipstick on her own lips made something stir inside Dani as their eyes locked in the pale candlelight. She could see that Talia was unhappy; was it unhappy - or maybe even hurt?
Dani suddenly became aware of the nauseas feeling in her stomach again. That same feeling. But there was something else - something that she was unaware of before. Could it be that.... The idea was absurd! There was NO way that she could be - aroused? Dani's head was spinning and she leaned back on the couch, closed her eyes and tried to clear her mind.
They had been innocently sitting on the couch, as they have done before, two girlfriends chatting about life, the universe and everything else. At some point Dani had commented how Talia looked really pretty in the candlelight that they were using to provide light in yet another power failure. She had reached out and touched her hair, a simple gesture. Soon they were staring into each other's eyes, lips almost touching - then lips touching with the lightest touch.
The sensation was wonderful: erotic, sensual and scary. With her eyes closed Dani could once again feel Talia's breath on lips.
Dani opened her eyes, and was surprised to find that Talia had moved closer and was now starring at her mouth, a little smile on her lips.
"You have such wonderful lips, Dan, Conrad is a lucky guy.".
She leaned closer and planted a delicate, tender kiss on her friends' mouth that sent a tingle down Dani's spine. Talia could feel the tension relaxing as she kissed deeper, opening her mouth and gently sliding her tongue into Dani's mouth. After a few moments of gentle kissing, Talia lifted her hand and gently cupped her friend's firm round breast in her hand, tenderly caressing the hard nipple through the delicate fabric.
Dani moaned with pleasure as she reached for Talia's breast, and gave it a gently squeeze. It was soft and smooth - she had often enjoyed massaging her own breasts, but feeling somebody else squirm with pleasure under her hand stirred her hidden, innermost desires. A desire to kiss her friend hungrily and explore her mouth with her own tongue. A desire to explore her friend's body with her hands, and taste her salty skin on her lips. A desire so strong that resistance faded into a hungry sexual need.
