This story is a work of fiction. A figment of the author's imagination. It is not meant to be big on realism. It's a fantasy. The culture around world-class women's cycling probably isn't a hotbed of lesbian lust, but wouldn't it be fun if it were?
All characters are fictitious. At the same time, they are all over 18.

Riding With Dirty Girls.
11. Benidorm.
I gazed out of the window as the plane carried me up the east coast of England towards Edinburgh and home. The green and pleasant English countryside was unclear below. Nebulous under misty vapours. A bit like my thoughts.
I'd woken that morning in Lucy's bed, and turned to see her gazing at me. She smiled. 'Morning.' Oh, so beautiful.
'You look lovely, sleeping,' she said, pensively. So very innocent. No hint of the fire inside. The flame of passion.'
I chuckled. 'You're going all poetic on me, Lucy.'
'Mm. That's how I feel. Inspired. You've given me so much, Chloe. More than you can know. You've opened my eyes. Drawn back the curtain on a new world. Banished so many fears and doubts. Made me feel... wonderful.'
'Steady on Lucy, you make me sound like the bloody lesbian messiah or something.'
She laughed. ''Well that's what you are, to me. You freed me.'
'Freed you?' I felt mischievous. 'So, do you regard yourself as one of the free girls now?'
Free girls?' She looked a little perplexed. The term obviously wasn't familiar to her.
'Yes, like me. Like Carmen, Helen, Annike, Mari...'
'Ohh, the free girls... Yes, a FREE girl! She flung the covers back, revealing her ravishing nakedness. 'I'm freee, I'm freee, I'm a free girl.'
She rolled on top of me and kissed me madly, over and over, holding my face in her hands, then rolled off and flopped on her back, looking at the ceiling. 'Do you all have sex with each other? All of you?'
'Well, it's not quite like that, but it's pretty fluid. It's free. I can tell you that there would be some very excited girls if they thought you were joining our little band.'
I could see her mentally thinking of all the free girls, like a kid perusing the goodies in a sweet shop. 'Mm, I like this. Now I have embraced it, I want to explore it.'
I chuckled indulgently. Her joyful excitement was infectious, and I could imagine the warm welcome she'd get when she made it known she was after "a piece of the action," so to speak.
I was suddenly ravenously hungry... 'Anyway, is there any chance of some breakfast at this joint?'
She jumped astride me again, and put her hands rudely on my tits, then leaned forward and devilishly said 'I could give you something you'd like to eat.'...OMG, I was so ready for that, but she jumped off the bed and grabbed a dressing gown. 'Come on, let's cook, I'm hungry too.'
The change in her was extraordinary. I'd never seen her so joyful, and it was all down to me. Well, I was taking the credit for it anyway.
I put on my tee shirt and knickers, and we went down to the kitchen, where she showed me how to make something she called "wentelteefjes" (she had to write it down for me). It's a Dutch breakfast speciality, similar to French toast, consisting of bread slices dipped in a mixture of milk, eggs, and cinnamon, but then baked with butter in the oven until they turn crispy -- a bit like bread and butter pudding - then drizzled with honey. Absolutely fantastic.
When we finished cooking and eating, she asked me what time my flight was. 'Not until 4 o'clock.'
She looked at me mischievously over her coffee cup. 'So we have time to go back to bed.'
'Yes we do,' I grinned. So we did.
...
As I sat, gazing out of the plane window, I thought about how wonderful it was. She was a different creature. All doubt and caution flung to the wind, her sexual imp was unleashed. She wanted to queen me (oh, go on then...) she wanted rub her nipples against my clit (oh, if you must...) and she wanted to try scissoring, which was a new experience for me.
It was an hour or two of sheer delight, for both of us, but now, in the cold light of the English sky, I had mixed feelings. On one hand it was great to see the way she came out so joyfully - and when I left she seemed happier than I'd ever seen her -- but there was just a little bit of disappointment that romance between us didn't bloom.
I suppose part of me -- the romantic part -- wanted Lucy to be something more. I wanted my heart to melt at her mere touch. I wanted to see stars. To feel the magic that people in love talk about. I guess I was seduced by the IDEA of being in love with Lucy. But no, it wasn't to be.
What happened between us was great, and I was so very happy for her, but my starry-eyed vision of her had evaporated. Replaced by the real Lucy. Still beautiful and gorgeous, but no longer the mythical Lucy I'd made in my head. It left me just a little unsettled.
Before I drove away from the airport, I remembered to turn the heating on at home, and I looked on "cyclocross24.com" for the result of the British Championship race. To my delight, Licia had retained the title, but it was only by a single second from Nikki Cray, who must've ridden absolutely out of her skin to be that close to Licia. I'd get the full story later.
Half an hour later, I was letting myself into my house, which was warming up nicely. It was still empty though. I put the lamps on, and put a playlist on the speaker. Quite often when I return home from a race, I will look up highlights on YouTube, but there was no point in looking for Licia's race because I knew there had been no TV coverage of it. The national championships. Can you believe it? Scandalous if you ask me.
I decided to eat before I called Licia. I hadn't eaten anything since the wentelteefjes at breakfast - unless you count Lucy's pussy - and I was ravenous. I cooked up an enormous pasta concoction with cheese and bacon, and finally made it to the sofa, replete, at about 8pm. It was high time I called Licia.
She picked up, bright and breezy; 'Hey babe, how's it goin?' Oh, it was so good to hear her voice.
