Tara had texted me the day after Saskia and I ended our fledgling relationship. As I had joined her on the long list of Saskia's ex-girlfriends, she invited me to join her on a Friday night out. I had accepted, mostly out of curiosity.
What was I curious about? Me!
My sadly brief relationship with the beautiful artist Saskia had been my first lesbian relationship, but it had been fantastic while it had lasted. From the moment we'd met, when I posed for an art class she was enrolled on, there had been a spark between us. Now I wondered if it was just something special about Saskia herself or had she been the key to unlock the door to this other me that had been hidden before?
I'd met Tara a couple of times when I was with Saskia. She was very nice with a sense of humour like my own, but I hadn't felt anything special between us. Now we were going on a night out. Was it an actual date? Tara had been a bit vague when I'd asked her.
"It's a night out to help you get over Saskia; what happens, happens" had been her reply.
I arrived at the pub where we were meeting and scanned the crowd for her. She was at the bar and as I weaved my way through the crowd. She was taller than me, less curvy with short hair that looked almost elfin. As I got closer her blue eyes and pretty face became clearer. She was wearing a snug fittimg strap top and a short skirt, from which her long sun-tanned legs extended. She was very attractive from an objective viewpoint, but I wasn't attracted to her yet.
I joined her at the bar. We exchanged greetings, and launched into small talk, asking about each others days. So far so pleasant, but it was nothing special.
Then the conversation took a twist.
"Saskia told me you're a bit of an exhibitionist," said Tara casually. "She told me how turned on you got posing with your kit off for those pictures."
Cursing Saskia mentally and adding indiscrete to my list of words to describe her, I replied, "Well, yes a bit, but I've never deliberately done anything like that, apart from that one time."
"Why not, if it turns you on?"
"I might get caught!" I blurted the first thing that came into my head.
"It's not fun if it's totally safe!"
"Do you like it too then?"
"Oh my, like doesn't do it justice, Miranda," Tara sighed, "I'm already wet at the thought of what fun we could have!"
Then she reached up under her dress, pulled her knickers down, stepped out of them and casually picked them up from the floor. She handed them to me. At a nearby table two guys nearly choked on their beer at the sight!
"Feel!" she said simply.
I took the bunched up knickers. Intrigued I did feel them; they were still warm and the crotch was rather damp. My tummy somersaulted; maybe this would be a fun evening after all.
"Do you want them back?"
"No, I want yours."
"What?"
"You heard, Miranda, but I'll spell it out for you. I want you to take your panties off here in the middle of this pub. You decide; do you want to have fun or shall I just finish my drink and piss off, leaving you with my panties as a memory of what might have been?"
I thought for a moment. Her little speech wasn't really needed; I was up for it, but I was at a disadvantage. I was wearing a skirt which was quite figure hugging and I couldn't easily reach up under it like she had; Tara knew this and was smirking at me.
"Tell me you're not getting wet thinking about it," she teased. I smiled back and nodded.
I decided quick and decisive was my only option. Without hesitating, I reached down, grabbed the hem-line of my skirt and hitched it up round my hips, exposing my stocking tops, dragged my knickers down, briefly and exhilaratingly exposing my pussy and bum, before tugging my skirt back down. My knickers lay bunched round my ankles. Trying to match her for casualness, I stepped out of them, picked them up and passed them over.
To my embarrassment she not only felt them to check for dampness, but smelt them too.
"Tara, people are staring," I said pleadingly, my cheeks beginning to redden.
"Good!" she replied, adding just loud enough for the two guys sitting nearest to hear, "these smell fantastic, I can't wait to taste you..."
Again she was rewarded with a spluttering sound as the guys had chosen the wrong moment to take a drink.
"Come on Miranda, let's go and have fun!"
Tara turned, theatrically dropped my panties onto the table where the two guys were sitting and strode out of the pub. Flustered, I tried to copy her but lacked her coolness. Too far from the table to drop them, unwilling to let Tara leave without me, I froze. In the end I had to throw her panties onto the table, but I managed to drape them over one of the pint glasses on the table. Muttering an apology I scurried after Tara, my face red with embarrassment and my pussy wet with excitement!
She was leaning by the driver's door of a car, just down the street.
"Wasn't that great!" she exclaimed.
