The room was lit only by candles – small votives on the window sill, pillars on the dresser and the nightstand. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to muster up the courage to step over the threshold into the bedroom. Her lungs filled with air, the honeysuckle fragrance tickling her nose. On the bed, waiting for her, was a friend, a very naked friend, her hair splayed out on the white pillowcase like a halo. She almost laughed at the irony, but caught her breath instead. She had never been this close to a naked woman before, and she was overcome with the beauty of the female form sprawled out on the white sheets, the covers thrown over the footboard.
"Come here," Ellie whispered. "I won't bite...yet..." The innuendo was unmistakable, and rocked her to the core of her being. Hannah willed her feet to walk her to the bed, clutching the robe around her, not yet ready to bare her body. She sat beside Ellie on the bed and met her eyes, her cheeks burning. Ellie sat up and took her hands in hers, caressing the backs of them with her thumbs. "Relax..." Her voice was hypnotic, and she closed her eyes as Ellie's mouth moved towards hers, capturing her lips in a gentle, unhurried kiss.
Hannah lost herself in the feel of Ellie's mouth on hers as their lips parted and tongues touched. Soon her hands found their way to cup Ellie's face as they continued to kiss, tangling her hands in Ellie's russet curls. She couldn't get over how soft Ellie felt, how different it was to kiss a soft, curvy, sensual woman. Before long, her hands wandered to Ellie's shoulders, caressing their way down to her breasts, grazing her erect nipples with her palms as Ellie moaned and pushed her breasts out to meet the hands that explored them.
Slowly she rubbed her palms against Ellie's nipples as her tongue traced circles on her lips. Slowly she felt her robe sliding off her shoulders, leaving her naked from the waist up. Gently, ever so gently, she kissed her way along Ellie's jaw, down her neck, and across her collarbone. And gently, ever so gently, she felt hands cup her breasts, thumbs caressing her nipples, teasing them into little rose kernels of pleasure.
Hannah slowed her kisses as she reached Ellie's nipples, allowing only the heat of her breath to touch them, kissing a lazy trail between her breasts, deliberately teasing her, before her tongue darted out to capture one perfect pink nipple, pulling it into her mouth and sucking on it. Ellie's gasp was music to her ears, and she felt her own nipples being pinched into tiny points in retaliation for the teasing she was inflicting.
That little edge of pain mixed with pleasure was enough to flood her with wetness, and she couldn't hold back the whimper as she grazed Ellie's nipple with her teeth in response.
"I need you," Ellie whispered against her hair. "God, I need you so bad...." She pushed her back against the pillows and slithered out of her robe, not caring what she looked like, focused only on Ellie's need and her own desire to please her and satisfy her.
"Tell me," Hannah whispered. "Tell me what you need," as she knelt above Ellie's prone body, caressing her calves and pushing her legs up and back.
"Touch me, please....just touch me....." Ellie arched her body up, begging for contact with the body hovering above hers, but it was just out of reach. She leaned over her, kissing her again, holding Ellie's hands up above her head with one hand, the other tracing a path down her stomach, stopping just above the triangle of hair that hid the center of Ellie's desire.
"Touch you where, sweet lips?"
"There...." Ellie pushed her hips up against the hand that waited. "Please...."
Hannah traced the outline of her nether lips, barely touching. "Here?"
"Yeeeeesssss...there....." Ellie moaned and she was silenced with a hard kiss, and she spread Ellie's knees wide with her own.
