Ashley -- December 2012
Heather often talks about religion. As a result of her naturist upbringing, and my Catholic education, comparing the different ways we were raised was always amusing. So, it was no surprise that religion came up the morning after my pussy was kissed for the first time.
After saying it was going to be all right, she asked, "Is it your Catholic beliefs that prevent you from kissing me again?"
We were in bed naked, and Heather had her arms wrapped around me, with her two legs intertwined with mine. Just moments ago, I told her I wanted to be roommates and not lovers.
I thought about her question, and replied, "No, that is not it. The Catholic Church is why I started later than most girls. Now that I have started, I don't want to stop experiencing new sensations. What is keeping me from kissing you again, is that I'm afraid that if I do, I will never kiss a boy again."
Heather laughed, and said, "Ashley, kissing me again won't turn you into a lesbian. I said last night that I didn't have expectations, and I meant that. I love Shawna and I love being with her. I also love being with you. If you still want to be with boys, I am all right with that."
I was still confused. Honestly, if I were being honest with myself, I would have said that I enjoyed kissing Heather more than any other person. So that is what I said. "That's the problem I'm having. I love being with boys, but after kissing you and the way you kissed me, I do want to kiss you again."
She gave me the same look she gave me the first time she saw me naked. I became aroused, reminiscent of the first day I met her, and forgot I wanted to be only roommates again. Who would want to be with boys when Heather could do so much for me with just a look?
I wanted to continue what we had the previous night, so I rolled on top of her and hungrily kissed her mouth. I acted more aggressively than I did the night before. More passionate. More insistent. Heather wasn't holding back either. She kissed me back. It felt so good. Her lips were soft, warm, and wet. Our mouths felt made for each other.
With what I had started, I would not stop. My hand squeezed her breast harder with each kiss. Touching her this way made me feel like I was losing my mind. Heather gasped when I trapped her nipple between my two fingers, and then I pinched and tugged at it. She shivered when I brought my lips to her breasts. I tried to put her entire breast into my mouth, but she shifted her position and turned me over. The weight of her body stretched out over me was both familiar and unknown. She weighed nearly as much as Justin or Ted, but her body was smooth. It was amazingly delightful. She didn't have an expanding bulge that nudged against my pussy. It was her hairy mound against my shaved cunt.
Once again, I wanted to be in control. Return the favor from our first coupling. I was ready to get on top again when I heard a knock on the door.

Shawna -- September 2010
Shawna and Heather met when they both started junior college. Heather's parents always encouraged education, and when Heather graduated from high school, they encouraged her to enroll in a local junior college. Her primary residence remained in the naturist community where she grew up, and she commuted to school by car.
It was in junior college when her attraction to women became more intense. She looked at the woman regularly and found herself thinking about more than just how striking her outfit was. When she made eye contact with women, her eyes would linger a bit longer than usual. But the final sign was the first time she saw Shawna. The two women were enrolled in the same literature class, and Heather noticed this girl was watching her closely.
They were sitting across from each other in the last row. The girl gave Heather a big smile and said, "Hi, I'm Shawna."
Heather smiled back and shyly replied, "Hello Shawna."
When Heather didn't continue, Shawna asked, "And your name?"
"Sorry, I'm Heather."
In response to Heather's introduction, Shawna smiled even wider, and Heather knew the smile meant more than just a smile.
Over the next two weeks, Heather made sure she got to class early and chatted before class began. Once, Shawna complimented Heather on her chin-length auburn hair and reached out to touch it. Heather felt a shiver run across her back when she stroked her hair. This continued until Friday of the second week when Shawna asked if Heather wanted to meet for lunch over the weekend.
They met at a nearby restaurant that was not too crowded. Shawna arrived first, and when she saw Heather, she walked up to her and gave Heather a huge hug. During her hug, Heather felt her large breasts against Shawna's small breasts and noticed Shawna wasn't wearing a bra under her knit top. The hug lasted a little longer than necessary, and when they parted, Heather felt warm and her heartbeat was slightly faster.
The two of them sat at a small table with close-spaced chairs. It was so easy for Heather to talk to Shawna. As Heather explained how she grew up in a naturist community, Shawna just accepted it and asked how it was to be nude all the time. As they chatted, Heather began to talk openly to Shawna. In one instance, Heather mentioned riding horses naked and loving it. In a playful gesture, Shawna nudged her. Once again, her touch made Heather's heart race.
While eating lunch, Shawna asked Heather if she was seeing anybody.
Heather replied, "I am not." Then Heather asked, "How about you?"
Shawna replied, "Not now, but I recently broke up with my high-school sweetheart."
"How long were you together?"
"We met in our junior year of high school. We were together for two years, but we broke up after we graduated." When she responded to Heather's question, she looked into her eyes to make sure she understood.
Of course, Heather understood, and she wanted to know more. She asked, "When did you know you wanted to be with girls?"
"Even at a young age, I questioned my sexuality. As a teenager, I was more attracted to women than to men. As I got older, I fantasized about what it would be like to be with another woman. In high school, I had an amazing counselor, and she encouraged me and gave me guidance on how to come out."
Shawna kept looking at Heather as she related her story, trying to gauge her reaction. Heather listened and absorbed everything Shawna told her. When Shawna finished, she asked Heather, "Have you ever been attracted to anyone?"
Heather knew she had to be honest with her and told her, "Growing up, I was never attracted to men, but I lost my virginity to one. It happened just after I turned eighteen. Besides a man, there was also a woman involved, and making love with her was much more satisfying. That was the only time I was with a man."
Shawna encouraged Heather to tell her more and asked, "What about the woman you were with?"
"After that first time, we were together a couple more times, but she moved away. I have not been with anyone since then."
Then they both became quiet. They had already gotten the check, and the waitress kept looking over to see when they were leaving. Heather broke the silence and said, "I should get going. I'll see you in class on Monday. Okay?"
Shawna fixed her gaze on Heather and nodded yes. Although Shawna was hoping for more, she understood Heather would need time to sort things out in her mind. While having lunch, Shawna became aware of Heather's feelings of attraction toward her, but she knew that Heather would have the final say as to whether the next step would be taken.
The following week started the same as the previous two. Heather and Shawna arrived to class early, and neither ran out of things to talk about. By Friday, Heather had made up her mind. The small city where they attended college had a vibrant downtown, and there was always something to do on the weekends. As they wrapped up class, Heather asked Shawna if she would like to go downtown for dinner on Saturday night. Shawna, at once, said yes.
They drove in separate cars and met downtown. At the heart of the downtown area was a creek-side, open-air public market containing eateries and boutiques. Shawna and Heather walked along the creek, enjoying all the sights and sounds. Heather noticed a cute restaurant that had an outdoor patio. They sat down, and each had an organic salad and freshly brewed kombucha tea.
Once they finished dinner, they continued walking along the creek. The night turned cooler, and they were very close together. No one was near them. Shawna stopped and turned to face Heather. Their eyes met, and they both drew closer to each other. Shawna placed her arm on Heather's shoulder, and her mouth fell on Heather's lips. She tilted her face to one side and slowly kissed Heather.
Heather did not hesitate, and she kissed her back. Their first kiss was soft and warm. Shawna's hand moved from Heather's shoulder to the middle of her back. Heather responded by bringing herself closer to Shawna. Both women had not worn bras, and Heather gasped when their breasts touched.
"Is this okay?" Shawna asked.
Heather nodded yes and continued kissing Shawna. At first, the kiss was slow and tender, with just her soft lips barely pressing against Shawna's. But then, Shawna opened her mouth, and Heather pushed her tongue into it. Shawna smiled inwardly, then began to suck on Heather's tongue. There was a sense of exploratory wonder that caused Heather to almost tremble. The last time she felt this was the first time she kissed Brenda. She was charged with energy. She felt joyous, but at the same time, she thought she might burst into tears.
