Jades Second

Jade sat beside Molly in her friends new one room apartment wondering why Molly was smartly dressed in a neatly pressed blouse and pleated skirt when she was not going out, while she'd just been slouching around town in grey jogging pants and a tee-shirt top. But then, Molly liked to do things her way, and this bed-sit apartment was a case in point. It was nothing like the large home that she'd left behind but here she wasn't governed by her parents' rules and regulations and she could do her own thing. The room was itself spacious enough for her needs because Molly only possessed the one sofa along with her bed - an optimistic double - a wardrobe, a couple of chests of drawers and a television. Her kitchen was down the hall and shared by the three other apartments on this floor, as was the bathroom next to it. But it was sufficient for the young woman who sat beside her because all Molly wanted was her independence.

She and Jade had been friends since school, going to dances, bars, and pretty much everything else together, in fact they had lost their virginity together to two men they'd picked up at a local coffee house. Now, with her nineteenth birthday looming Jade had a problem. She desperately wanted to tell her friend about her very first lesbian session that she'd enjoyed with an older woman a few nights before, but she didn't want to jeopardise their friendship by admitting her bisexuality. It wasn't that Jade had suddenly turned gay, she'd fancied both men and women for all of her short adult life but she'd been afraid to divulge that to anyone. She'd even looked at Molly with less than platonic eyes, wishing that her oldest friend shared her inclinations, but she'd never made a pass at her because she was certain she'd be rejected and their friendship ended. The problem now was simply that having tried it once she had every intention of enjoying lesbian sex again and she knew she would have to say something to Molly if only to prevent her from hearing about it from someone else. So she sat beside her friend in her cramped little home and wondered how to broach the subject. In the end she decided to jump right in.

'You know I went to that party the other week?' She asked Molly.

Molly nodded silently, vaguely wondering why Jade was bringing that up so long after the fact.

Jade shaded the truth a little with her next statement. 'Well I ran into one of the women from that party a couple of days ago, and I went home with her for a coffee.'

'Oh yes?' Molly still sounded relatively disinterested, in fact she was picking lint from her blouse and smoothing her skirt as she spoke.

'And I kissed her.'

That got Molly's attention and she turned in her seat to partially face Jade. 'What!'

'I kissed her.' Jade repeated, looking Molly straight in the eye.

'What, you mean, properly, not just a peck on the cheek or anything?'

'No, a full on kiss.' Jade smiled to herself at the memory. 'For the first time in my life I kissed someone of my own sex. And not just one kiss either.'

Molly was looking at her incredulously. 'You mean...?' She paused, trying to find words. 'Did you go further than just kissing I mean, and did you like it?' The last question revealed what Molly expected the first answer to be.

'Yes and yes.' Jade nodded, encouraged by Molly's positive reaction to ask. 'Have you ever kissed a girl?

'No, never.' Molly replied hurriedly, shaking her head then adding after a moment or two. 'Though I have wondered what it would be like.'

That was the first hint that Molly had ever given Jade that she might have even the slightest bi-sexual tendency and Jade immediately picked up on it. Her heart suddenly beat faster as she grasped the potential and wondered if it would be conceivable to turn the implied possibility into reality.

'If you've wondered then you really ought to try it, if only once just to see what it is like.' It was a hook deliberately dangled.

'Maybe.' Knowingly or not, she was nibbling at Jade's bait.

'There's no maybe about it, if you don't you'll always be wondering.'

Molly shook her head. 'I don't think I'd ever have the nerve. I mean, what if the other person takes it as you being up for everything?'

Jade looked at her friend and smiled. 'I wouldn't.' She said quietly, risking everything on that one statement.

There was a long pause in which the two girls just looked silently at each other, each trying to gauge what the other meant, and then Jade leaned slowly forward and kissed Molly briefly and gently on the lips. There was complete surprise on Molly's face as Jade drew away, but it was surprise rather than shock and that allowed Jade to feel free to move forward and kiss her again, this time for longer.

Molly didn't return Jade's kiss, she just passively allowed herself to be kissed without either complaint or encouragement. Jade drew back again and gazed at her friend, trying to read her expression and wondering if what she saw was a hint of genuine pleasure. It certainly wasn't a sign of distaste and so Jade took it to mean that all was well - so far. She smiled and draped her arm around Molly's shoulders, gently pulling her friend closer as she leaned in to kiss her again. This time Molly cautiously returned her kiss and this time the kiss lasted longer, much longer. When they eventually parted both girls were smiling, if a little shyly.

'Nice?' Jade asked quietly, praying she would get the reply she wanted.

Molly's head bobbed briefly, it was the just the tiniest of gestures but it was agreement. Jade smiled again and reached over with her free hand to gently stroke Molly's cheek, her fingertips tracing along the front of her ear, along her jawline and then back again. Jade kissed her once more and this time Molly's eyes closed briefly and once again she returned the kiss. It was no longer one way traffic, the girls were kissing each other now and Jade knew she had broken through the first of Molly's instinctive defences. But she also knew that she could easily spoil everything if she rushed things.

When that mutual kiss ended Jade continued to stroke Molly's cheek for a minute or two, venturing occasionally onto her neck, but then when she moved forward for another kiss she let her fingertips wander all around Molly's neck, from behind her ear to under her chin, gradually working their way under the collar of Molly's blouse. She didn't want to push her luck until she was sure of her partner's response, but then Molly's arm came across to rest on Jade's shoulder and she knew that the time had come.

Now Jade very lightly caressed Molly's neck before slowly but surely letting her fingertips probe further under the blouse until they were sometimes stroking the top curves of Molly's breasts. Molly closed her eyes again and laid her cheek against Jade's, wordlessly submitting to her friend's attentions. Jade could feel her heart beating faster as she plucked up the courage to take the next step. With bated breath she finally let her fingers explore into Molly's bra, touching and caressing more of her breast until she reached her nipple. If Molly was going to baulk then it was going to be now and Jade held her breath, both literally and figuratively. But she didn't, in fact she softly squeezed Jade's shoulder and then began to run her hand along her side as if she too was plucking up the courage for more. Encouraged, Jade pulled her own hand away and gently unfastened the top two buttons of Molly's blouse, giving herself freedom to delve deeper into Molly's bra and cup her breast in her palm, hoping on hope that Molly wouldn't object.

Molly didn't object, in fact she sighed happily as Jade gently squeezed her flesh, massaging and kneading it, her thumb flicking the nipple. Jade could tell by Molly's breathing that she was getting turned on, and her own arousal was getting stronger. She needed to push things along a little and so she took her hand away and unbuttoned the rest of Molly's blouse, leaving it hanging loose all the way down before taking hold of both her hands and gently pulling her forward in her seat. Molly must have known Jade's intention but she voiced neither objection nor encouragement, submissively allowing Jade to push the blouse from her shoulders and reach around her back to unfasten her bra. Her only contribution was to silently shake both from her arms and allow the two garments to drop onto the sofa.

Jade gazed longingly at Molly for a few moments, aware that her friend's breasts were fuller than her own and her nipples more pronounced, but that didn't seem to matter. She shook herself from her momentary daze and rapidly pulled her own top over her head before unhooking her own bra and tossing both to one side. They were both now naked to the waist and the two girls just stared at each other, each aware of the attractive sight in front of them.

'You're beautiful.' Jade whispered hoarsely.

'So are you.'

Molly's reply caught Jade by surprise, they were the first words of encouragement that she had spoken and they were totally unexpected. Jade silently turned to face Molly more, gazing at her without speaking until she turned to face her too, and then she put out her arms and the pair came together. It was a full on embrace at last, their arms around each other, cheek to cheek, their breasts pressed one against the other and their arms holding each other tightly, enjoying the sensation of naked skin on naked skin.

For a few moments they hugged each other like that, hands running up and down each other's backs, but then they pulled back just enough to kiss each other again. Now they really were kissing properly, exploring tongues met, probing into each other's mouths and fencing with each other. There was now just enough space between them for Jade to find Molly's nearest breast again and be able to touch it without the confines of a bra. That was better, she found the hardened nipple and played with it, gently pinching it, rolling it and pulling on it, making Molly shudder with delight and murmur incoherently before she created more room and moved her hand across to find Molly's other breast, kneading that one too until she got another sigh of pleasure from its owner. They kissed again, this time with Jade's hand gently fondling both of Molly's breasts in turn and with Molly making happy little noises in her throat. Jade was pleased with herself, relishing touching and kissing Molly, even though this was only the second time she'd ever touched another girl and the very first time she had taken the lead, but she wished could read Molly more easily. She could tell that Molly was genuinely turned on but her friend's lack of encouraging response meant that she still wasn't confident enough to take anything for granted. She was still apprehensive about pushing things on, even though her own arousal told her she must and she knew she would regret the missed opportunity if she didn't.

Finally she let her hand slide down away from Molly's breasts and onto her stomach, just softly stroking and caressing her for a minute or so to see how she would respond. Again she could only take Molly's passive acceptance as consent and so, with her heart hammering inside her chest, Jade found the waistband of Molly's skirt and slowly teased her fingertips under it. Molly became still, obviously aware of Jade's fingers but making no objection as if waiting to see what she would do next. Jade kissed her again, and while their mouths were together she pushed her fingers a little further under Molly's waistband, and then a little further still until her fingertips found the top of her panties. Now Jade pulled away from the kiss to look at Molly's face, but her eyes were closed and she could read nothing in her expression. She tried to insinuate her fingers into Molly's panties but her skirt was tight and she could only reach inside up to the very first joint of her longest finger, and Molly was neither helping nor hindering. It was frustrating.

Jade shrugged mentally, in for a penny in for a pound. She pulled her hand free from Molly's waistband and reached down for the hem of her skirt, pushing it up enough for her to lay her hand on Molly's leg just above her knee. Reaching down had brought her face nearly level with Molly's breasts and so, without even thinking about it, Jade took one of Molly's nipples into her mouth and suckled on it. That brought a genuine moan of pleasure and encouraged by that Jade ran her hand up Molly's thigh until she reached the top, coming to a stop when she found the edge of Molly's panties. Jade waited for a moment or two with her lips around Molly's nipple and her tongue lapping at it before continuing, giving just enough time for Molly to stop her if she wanted to. Then, keeping her hand resting on the bare skin of her thighs she placed just her thumb on Molly's panties and began to very softly stroke her pubes through the material, feeling the soft fuzz under the side of her thumb and mentally noting that Molly was 'natural'.

As she did this Molly's hand came over and rested on her back, stroking it across the shoulders at first but then gradually moving higher until her hand was combing through Jade's hair, as if to ensure that her mouth didn't move from that engorged nipple. Jade responded by stroking Molly's pubes more firmly, wanting to be sure Molly could feel what she was doing and understand that she wanted to work down between her legs to stroke her pussy. But Molly's legs were firmly together and Jade could only touch the very top of her cleft through her panties. In her very stimulated state this made her feel even more frustrated, almost cheated. Eventually Molly relented and gave in to her own arousal so that little by little her knees parted and her legs spread slowly wider until they were as wide as her position on the sofa would allow. It was as if Molly had gradually been forced to give way to her body's demands, allowing Jade access and letting her frustration gave way to cautious optimism. This was the first actively helpful movement Molly had made, the first time she had consented so willingly and Jade smiled around her breast and moved her hand to let it rest fully over the other girl's pussy. Now if she could make Molly come then anything was possible.

Jade let her hand just rest there as she became used to the wonderful but unfamiliar feel of Molly's pussy beneath the cotton of her panties. This was a sensation she had never before believed possible, even when she had sometimes covertly gazed at Molly with thinly veiled lust. She wanted to rip those panties away and thrust her fingers into her friend, but not yet. She had managed to get things this far by slow and gradual steps and even though Molly's breathing said that she was thoroughly turned on, Jade still didn't want to risk it. Instead she began to run her fingers along Molly's pussy, fondling and investigating its contours through her panties.

The first thing that struck Jade was how much smaller, neater, Molly's labia felt compared to her own. She could barely feel the warm ridges under her fingertips, but the thing that most surprised her was that she could clearly feel Molly's clitoris as a little nubbin even through her panties. Her own clit hid beneath its hood unless she was close to coming. She explored Molly's button through the cotton, letting her fingertips stroke it for a little while before she hooked her finger slightly and let her nail make the material buzz against its tip. Molly gasped with pleasure and clutched at Jade's shoulders, her body wriggling with desire.

'Yes.' She gasped. 'That's lovely, don't stop.'

Jade hadn't realised until then just how aroused Molly was, and she certainly hadn't realised that she really was that close to an orgasm, she'd shown hardly any signs. Or was it, Jade wondered with some excitement, that Molly had been reluctant to reveal just how successful Jade's seduction had been. She smiled to herself and carried on, sucking at Molly's nipple and still kind of scratching at her clitoris, knowing now that she was doing it right. In reality, she wasn't to know it but Molly had been hiding the fact that she was so turned on that almost any touch would have tipped her over the edge and only a couple of minutes later she began to make the noises that betrayed her rapidly approaching climax.

Her noises themselves were a simple series of 'oh's', but Molly wasn't a quiet girl. The sounds became louder and louder as she got closer and closer to coming, until Jade was feeling slightly embarrassed for her and almost hoping there was nobody else in the building to hear her. Eventually Molly shouted out one long strangled 'oh' and slumped back on the sofa, her climax over for the moment at least. Jade sat back, smiling with success and gazing at Molly's heaving chest and trembling limbs, pleased with herself but unsure what would happen next. She was new to this seduction game and wasn't sure what was expected from her now. Meanwhile Molly looked back at her, licking her dry lips and blowing out her cheeks as she coped with her climax.

'Wow.' She gasped finally, closing her legs and pulling down her skirt to sit more decorously. 'Why hasn't that happened before?'

'I didn't know you wanted it to.' Jade told her, puzzled and hoping Molly's more demure look wasn't the sign of a closing door..

'Neither did I.' Molly giggled breathlessly, then added more seriously. 'I never thought I'd want a girl to touch me, even though I'd fantasized about it when I was younger.'

'Did you?' Jade was surprised at that admission.

'Yes. But I pushed it out of my mind as I got older, I mean it's kind of frowned on, isn't it?'

'Yes, I never admitted it to anyone, but I fancied girls for years and had to keep it quiet.' Jade looked at Molly. 'Are you ok with what happened between us?'

Molly hesitated, then answered. 'I wouldn't like it to get around, but yes, I am.'

'Do you want us to take it a bit further?'

'Yes.' There was no hesitation this time.

'How far would you want us to go?' Jade asked, she was pushing it and she knew it, but she felt she needed to know.

'I'm not sure, but I'd tell you if it went too far.'

They sat side by side for a few minutes, still naked to the waist, while each of them digested what had happened and what had been said, and then Jade got up, standing in front with her hands out to Molly. Molly looked up and smiled a little shyly, but nevertheless she let herself be pulled to her feet to stand in front of Jade.

'Shall we?' Jade asked.

Molly wanted to say yes, but she wasn't quite sure what she'd be saying yes to and so she just stood there with questioning eyebrows raised. Jade answered the query in the most direct way possible, she reached out and found the fastening to Molly's skirt, quickly undoing it to let the skirt fall to the floor and leave Molly standing in just her panties. Then she kicked of her own shoes, hooked her hands into her waistband and pushed both her jogging pants and her underwear down in one go, stepping out of them and standing before Molly totally naked.

'It's down to you to take those off - if you want to.' Jade glanced down meaningfully at Molly's panties. She was leaving it to Molly to choose simply because she wanted to be certain that Molly knew what was to be expected.

Molly looked at Jade for a moment and then nodded as the meaning sank in before taking her own panties off and simply kicking them out of the way. Jade's hand grasped Molly's and they pulled each other into a naked clinch, sighing softly as their bodies came together. This kiss was a little tentative at first because of their unfamiliar nakedness, but very soon they were pressing hard against each other, squirming and wriggling as their excitement took over again.

Jade pulled away, shaking her head. 'Come on.' She took Molly's hand and urged her towards the bed. 'This will be nicer.'
