Losing My Balance Ch 07

Dearest readers,

I hope you're well! If you're new to this series, I recommend starting with Chapter 1 for things to make the most sense. If you're returning, welcome back! Thank you for leaving comments and emails and even for years after these chapters were posted, you inspired me to continue. Enjoy!

From Irri's Eyes:

"What about a platonic date?" I asked Bee over the phone, biting the inside of my lip.

"Platonic? What the fuck is going to be platonic about our date?" I could practically hear her raising an eyebrow over the phone.

"Because we're two friends going on a date! That's a friendly date!"

Bee barked out a laugh, "I'm looking up the definition of platonic on Urban Dictionary, and it says spiritual bonding. If that's really how you wanna categorize it, then get ready for some specialized spiritual bonding treatment."

"I've been ready." I grinned.

"We'll see." Bee replied. She's bold and I love it.

We had been chatting about our date for a couple of weeks. Life had been a whirlwind with our respective corners- family coming into town, work, and so on. It was to the point that the Jenga night feels like it happened years ago almost.

For obvious reasons, there were still hesitations with Bee. Plain and simple, two people getting together produced a handful of results. Was sexual attraction worth sacrificing a friendship? For us, attraction and friendship were now a venn diagram, entwined and overlapping.

Whatever goes down, I refuse to fuck up our friendship. Or in this case, for whomever goes down.

I'm a bad, bad girl. Bee should just... Okay, seriously?!

Texting and talking to Bee on the phone had me crawling out of my skin. There were points where I wanted to jump through the screen and into her lap. Finally, the wait was over, spiritual bonding treatment included.

Ironically, having a date had actually helped us slow things down. If Bee had come over like usual, we wouldn't have waited. Well, I wouldn't have wanted to. Leave it to Princess Charming to use the brakes for the first time in her life.

I hated and loved seeing her treat me differently.. Damn it Bee, who are we and what happened to our platonic friendship?

From Bee's Eyes:

I told Irri I would be picking her up.

It's been ages since I've had butterflies on a date.

Walking up to the doorway, my palms started to sweat. Before I could knock, the door opened with Irri standing in the frame.Her outfit contrasted warmly against her honey brown skin. My eyes traveled over her body.

"I was just about to ring the doorbell," I rasped. Why was my mouth suddenly so goddamn dry?

She stared and smirked, "You snooze, you lose."

I took a step forward and slipped my arm around her waist, "Losing ain't so bad"

Irri smiled and planted a small careful kiss on my jaw, "Consolation prize."

I grinned and pulled her close. "No part of this is a consolation prize."

"Damn right." Irri tightened her arms around me. After a good squeeze, she sighed. "Alright Ms. Distracting, we need to leave or we won't leave at all."

I grinned, "Promise?"

She scowled, "Let's move it lady."

I'm slightly swept off my feet with how she's treating me. Since this whole thing started, I had been the one initiating. She's comfortable with the idea of us and I'm enjoying the fuck out of it.

From Irri's Eyes:

Our friend Nisha recommended a sushi restaurant downtown. The lighting was dim and the tables were lit with lamps. Most of the seating was filled, you could hear the hum of the restaurant and some music punctuating the conversation.

While waiting, I watched Bee do her thing. She was talking to a waiter about our table and when it would be ready. My eyes traced over the muscles in her arm and the way her shirt fell off her back. I appreciated a toned back.

Afterwards, we were seated in a booth. The waiter took our orders and deposited drinks before leaving.

A mischievous look filled Bee's face.

"So." She stared and raised her eyebrows, clasping her hands.

I mimicked her actions, "So."

"I have a couple of questions that I've been wanting to ask you in person. They require a face to face response," her eyebrows danced.

"Oh yeah? Go ahead." I leaned closer to her and took a sip of sake. This was going to be interesting.

"When was the first time you thought about kissing me?" Bee tucked her hair behind her ear.

I almost choked on my drink. Damn her.

"Damn you." I can't help but blush. "Is this necessary?"

She looked at me and said in that octave, "No...I just want to hear it."

My body felt hot instantly.

I met her eyes, "It started as something more subconscious and turned into little moments that I pushed away."

Bee's leg pushed into mine and she raised an eyebrow. Why did we decide to go out in public for our date again? Her voice was husky and playful, "That's a very nonspecific answer, Counselor. I want more."

I leaned across the table and said, "Well when you ask a girl like that."

***

From Bee's Eyes:

Fuck. I couldn't stop myself from teasing her and now she's playing back.

I loved it.

Irri lowered her head and her hair fell over her eyes, "Remember Lee's birthday trip a while back?"

"The beach bonfire?"

Irri brushed her hair back, "You came to find me. It was how you approached me. So excited to see me, wrapping your arms around me from behind...That's when I remember having that thought and leaning into it. Acknowledging it."

I had goosebumps. Honestly, at that moment I had been feeling a lot of affection for her that night, if I had known earlier. Things would have been...

Irri looked away and continued speaking, "I mean I know it was really different back then compared to now of course and..."

I held up my hand and bumped her knee. "Irri. Stop. I could literally kiss you right now."

Irri looked away for a moment and smiled, "Shut up."

I grinned wider, "Come over here and make me."

She barked out a small laugh, "Just wait till we get home."

My body was instantly awake.

Before I could say anything, she continued, "Now your turn. Tell me when you felt something more."

The answer practically fell out of my mouth, "Everytime I see you dance."

Irri's eyes widened, "I thought you just said you liked it."

"Oh, I do. I really like it when you dance like that."

"Dance like what?"

"Dance...in a way that would turn anyone on," This time, there's no smile on my face.

"Does it turn you on?" Irri sucked in a breath.

"Am I just anyone?" I stared at her intently.

Then, the waiter arrived with our food.

Oh yeah, we're here to have dinner.

***

From Irri's Eyes:

The rest of "dinner" was tamer. We bantered, we complained about work, talked about friends and family, laughed, and finally ended up back at my place.

As soon as we got inside and settled, the air changed again. This was our first time being alone since that night with our friends.

I turned on my Bluetooth speaker and picked out some music to distract myself for a moment.

Bee came up from me from behind and slowly looped her arms around my waist. She pulled me into her body. Fuck she felt good.

I leaned into her and looked up, "Hey."

Her voice was low, "Hi." I turned around to face her.

I rested my hand on her chest as my thumb rubbed over her collarbone. My heart was quietly pounding.

"I've been waiting to hold you like this," Bee leaned down and brushed her nose over my cheek. She took a breath in.

"It's only been two weeks," I quietly said, trying to downplay the excitement I felt.

"Or" she whispered in my ear, "It's already been two weeks."

I shivered, "It's already been two weeks."

Bee squeezed my waist and cupped my face with her other hand, "And now we're here." I turned my face into her hand.

Bee's hand on my waist slipped down to cup my ass. I instantly closed my eyes, and pushed it into her hand, "I really like it right here."

I press a kiss next to her lips. "A lot." Then, I pressed the whole of my body into hers.

"Right here is better" Bee moved her hand down to my jaw, and kissed me, deeply.

***

From Bee's Eyes:

Irri's lips were soft and pliant, they melded to mine. Eventually we made it up the stairs.

After all the times I visited Irri's house, I would have never predicted we used her couch like that.

Irri sitting on top of me, legs on either side of my hips, my hands on her ass. Me laying on top of Irri, Irri laying on top of me, rolling her whole body against me. It was repeated cycles of teasing and edging- on top of each other, all clothed.

And now, we were in a room with a bed. The room where we first kissed.

Irri went to the bathroom attached to her room. I stripped off my clothes and waited for her. She walked out and traced her eyes over my body. I stretched out as I watched her look over me.

Her eyes were half-lidded when she spoke, "You're so damn gorgeous."

I smiled and got onto my knees, "Get the fuck over here," moving to the edge of the bed.

As soon as she walked up to me, my arms wrapped around her and I pulled her into a kiss. My tongue slipped against hers, and she rubbed her clothed body into my naked one. Irri let out a moan into my mouth.

"Irri, take it off." I ran my fingers down her top.

Irri grinned and looked at me. She had a gleam in her eyes, "Take what off?"

"All your clothes."

"Everything?" She teased. She took a few steps back and stripped off the crop top she was wearing. Her honey brown breasts were cradled in her bra. Just looking at her chest made my mouth go dry again.

She continued, "Not just this?"

I raised my eyebrow. "Take off your pants."

Irri stared at me, undid the tie around her waist, and let her pants drop to the ground. Her thighs were thick and muscular and needed me between them.

She turned around slowly and bent down to pick up her pants. She stayed there for a moment, ass up in the air. I watched her hips, the swell and roundness of each cheek.

By the time she stood up, I had too. My naked body met her back, my pussy pressed into her ass. Irri let out a little sound. The feeling of her soft body against mine, my breasts pressing into her back, and my hands sliding over her body. First her hips and down her waist.

I pressed slow kisses all over her neck and shoulders, holding her around the waist. We separated only for her to take off her bra and panties.

Irri led me to the bed by the hand. I had been in her bed thousands of times, but not like this.

She lightly pushed me back onto the bed and I wiggled back against the pillows. My legs were wide. She started to crawl onto the bed on all fours. Her breasts hung and swayed as she slowly moved towards me. Her eyes were watching my face and reaction to her.

The moment I felt her chest on my chest and her stomach push into mine, my legs wrapped around her and my mouth covered hers.

From Irri's Eyes:

Bee's body felt delicious under mine. Her skin was so smooth and I was obsessed with her scent. I buried my face on her neck as she squeezed me tight. I started to nuzzle her neck and kiss it. I had been waiting to do this.

I turned to her ear and brushed my lips softly next to her lobe and then firmly on her ear, "Why do you feel so goddamn good?"

She groaned and tightened her arms around me.

I brushed my lips and nose against her neck. Kisses turned into sucking. Sucking, turning into small nips, until I was biting her.

Bee gripped my ass and panted underneath me, "Oh fuck."

Her hips started to roll against my body, rubbing her pussy against me. I made my way to her ear and started to softly suck on her lobe, whispering, "Baby. You feel wet."

Bee's body jolted in reaction. I liked that.

I pushed back her hair and entwined my fingers with hers. I continued working her neck and pulled her close, "Baby," I murmured into her ear, "You're making me wet."

Bee let out a low moan, turning her head to try to find my lips. I knew she wanted to kiss me, but I wasn't going to let her yet.

I started to slowly kiss her face, everywhere but her lips, until both of us were getting desperate. "Come here," Bee growled.

I giggled, "What, or you'll make me?"

Bee didn't answer with words. The hands that had been wrapped around me moved to my jaw. She firmly held my head and kissed me hard. I could feel how wet my panties were getting. Fuck. What did I get myself into?

*****

From Bee's Eyes:

I had managed to maneuver Irri on top of me, her legs on either side of my waist, pussy pressed to my mound.

I had been aching for this moment.

I wanted her to drip on me.

Irri took no time to feel the position out. In fact, she was more than happy. Her hips moved in a wave from her lower abs, to her hips to her pussy moving against my mound. She was wet as fuck. I gripped her hips and pulled her into me. I gasped, "You feel so good Irri. So goddamn wet. I can feel you all over me."

Irri shuddered and her eyes closed as she rocked on my mound. Her lips were parted and her eyes then parted as well in a half lid stare. She licked her lips and leaned down, "I didn't know it would feel this fucking good Bee. God. You're driving me fucking crazy. She took my bottom lip and sucked as she rocked her hips in the same slow steady pace.

*****

From Irri's Eyes:

I could feel it building in me, a slow and steady pulse. I gasped into Bee's mouth, "Just like that, keep going." Bee could only mewl and dig her nails into me.

Bee and I were making a mess together. My pussy was slippery and sliding over hers. I couldn't tell which juices were mine or hers.

She had pulled me onto her mound and my clit throbbed against her. My face tucked into her neck, as I gasped, "If this is spiritual platonic bonding entails, sign me up."

Bee started full out laughing, "This is just the beginning babes."

****

From Bee's Eyes:

I was grinning.

Irri was a beautiful delightful mess on top of me. I could feel her juices on me, mine mixed with hers. And after all that, I still wanted more.

Having her on top of me had fulfilled one wish, but I was greedy for something else. Something I had been imagining, late night, dark room, hand under the covers.

A way I wanted to have her.

I pulled her head to me and kissed her deeply, "This was great and all but we're missing out on a pivotal level of spiritual bonding."

"Oh yeah?" She giggled into my lips, "Do tell."

I smiled and moved my lips to her ear, kissing it slowly, "Me inside of you."

Irri's body reacted to my words before her voice could. She shivered and pressed her pussy down on me. I could feel the heat radiating between us.

Before she said anything else, I whispered into her ear, "Do you... want me inside of you?" I pressed my lips to her lobe.

Irri's body shuddered and she cradled the back of my neck, "So damn bad," her voice rasped out.

I couldn't wait to be deep inside her.

*****

From Irri's Eyes:

My pussy was tight around Bee. She had me on my back and her strap between my legs.

Her stroke felt so damn good. I was squirming all over the place underneath her.

"Bee..."

She bit the skin below my ear, "Baby."

I groaned.

"You're going to make me..."

"I want it."

I gasped and spasmed.

I came with Bee buried inside me, my hand cradling her head and her hands holding my ass to stay inside of me, pumping me until she came too.

By the time we were done, we were a pile of sweaty bodies that had thoroughly and deliciously spiritually bonded.

Bee turned her head towards mine and grinned, running her fingers down my face. "I hate to say it but..."

"Don't you fucking dare say I told you so..."

"I'm not afraid of telling you how it is, my grumpy little ewok..." She couldn't finish the rest of her sentence because I had muffled her words with my hands and then a kiss.

Fucking beautiful giant.

I think I'm falling for you.
