Nina: Damn it's been over half a decade since we did one of these introductory chatlogs
Samantha: So we'll definitely need a recap, huh! :D
Nina: I have never seen you use a smiley before
Samantha: I do some other stuff in this story that you've never seen me do before!
Nina: Alright yeah let's recap before folks think this whole thing is just a chatlog
Nina: So the series goes, Mittens, Schrödinger's Mittens, Cyber Mittens, High Voltage Mittens, Remote Control Mittens, and then this one.
Samantha: Go and read them first if you haven't already, because this recap is spoiler city by virtue of it being a recap.
Nina: "Mittens," all the way back in 2013, novella-length, introduces my awesome mad-scientist best-friend-turned-girlfriend. She's very inexperienced with being dominant but very enthusiastic about learning how to press my submissive buttons. We also learn that I have a watersports kink that I'll never, ever tell her about, because it's way too embarrassing.
Samantha: you have a WHAT
Nina: oh shit secret's out
Samantha: Schrödinger's Mittens continued the same afternoon, and was a short story about being nervous about oral.
Nina: It also contained the first mention of pancakes.
Nina: Cyber Mittens was another short, a mutual masturbation slash public exhibitionism fantasy, that one went HEAVY on the pancake teasing.
Samantha: High Voltage Mittens was the fourth story, the second novella. We're going long-short-short-long-short-short-long, is the plan.
Nina: In High Voltage Mittens, oof yeah a whole BUNCH of stuff happens, because it's the long one in the middle. Sam rattles my insides with a solenoid-based vibrator, I finally reveal my watersports kink, Sam ties me to a chair and shocks my nipples until I confess my most sordid pee fantasies.
Nina: That one didn't have much in the way of pancake action though.
Nina: Like, we didn't even mention them. Twenty-seven thousand words, not so much as a fucking crumb.
Samantha: Nina what the hell are you talking about
Nina: Remote Control Mittens, another short, features remote controlled vibrators on a rollercoaster, but the twist is we bump into our friend who coincidentally is also wearing a remote control vibe, they're on the same frequency, it's a horny comedy of errors.
Nina: No pancakes, again, what the hell.
Samantha: Are you saying these things because you're hungry, or because you want me to smack your ass with this hairbrush?
Nina: That brings us up to this story, which has only a brief, passing mention of pancakes.
Nina: Ow
Nina: hrnn yes thank you mistress
Samantha: Which do you want more: hairbrush-spanks, like this?
Nina: OW, mmf
Samantha: Or pancakes, in your growling belly, right now?
Nina: oh my god both
Nina: I want both
Nina: Can we somehow do both
Nina: *please*
Samantha: Hmm. Tell you what.
Samantha: Pull your pants up.
Samantha: We'll go out for pancakes now, while the horny person watching us reads this story, and then we'll come back at the end and do some more hairbrush stuff.
Nina: Sounds great
Nina: Enjoy, reader!
Nina: Sorry it took so long!
Nina: I don't know why! It's not like anything big and important happened out there between 2017 and 2024!
Samantha: Yeah, it's been weirdly quiet. Except the pancake place shut down and moved and reopened again. Three times.
Nina: Oh yeah, that was kind of an emotional rollercoaster
Samantha: Have fun, reader! I'll keep her warm and well-fed for you.

Samantha slammed the lid of her laptop down as Nina rounded the corner.
Nina froze in the doorway, glanced bedheaded at Samantha's laptop, back up into her eyes.
Samantha grinned sheepishly, unconsciously letting an elbow rest on the lid.
"Well good morning to you too," murmured Nina, suspiciously.
Jesus, how much did she see?!
"Morning!" said Samantha, a little too enthusiastically. "Coffee's in the pot."
"Smelled it from upstairs," smiled Nina, padding over to the counter, opening a cabinet. "Proving that you're just as good at getting me out of bed as you are at getting me in it." She selected a mug - her
usual
mug, Samantha noticed - and spoke as she filled it. "Whatcha sneaking at?"
Samantha winced. "Um."
Nina looked over her shoulder, showed Samantha a grin. "You must've been really engrossed. You normally hear me coming."
"Barefoot!" accused Samantha, pointing.
"Bareass too," grinned Nina, flicking the base of her T-shirt to glimpse Samantha a pair of pale, freckled curves. She opened a drawer, wielded a spoon. "If you were reading porn, you should share it."
"No," mumbled Samantha, "not exactly."
"Fanfic?" teased Nina, taking sugar. "Embarrassing erotic fanfic?" She stirred, and turned, cup in hand, towards Samantha. "Oh, you're blushing." Her smile broadened. "Must be
really
embarrassing fanfic." She looked towards the ceiling for a moment. "I'm gonna guess... Christian Sonic the Hedgehog."
Samantha blinked. "What? No!"
"Voldemort and Gandalf the Gray."
Samantha snrked. "Not that either."
"Robin Hood, fox-form, in a threesome with Cary Elwes and Mister Clean."
"No," headshook Samantha, "also, these are all guys."
Nina shrugged. "It's reasonable to miss cock every now and then."
Samantha stared. Nina grinned back.
"Well," sighed Samantha. "Right." She opened her laptop, closed all the tabs. "That's
that
question answered."
Nina's eyebrows rose. "Is
that
what you were Googling? Whether it's okay for a bisexual woman in a lesbian relationship to get a hankering for dick from time to time?"
Samantha felt her blush reach her ears, and looked up from her laptop. "Duckduckgo'ing."
Nina waved her mug at Samantha, coffee sloshing inside. "Nobody's
ever
gonna say that. Call it
ducking
or something, Christ."
"Asking the Duck," muttered Samantha. "Luckyducking? Googling without getting spied on."
Nina shook her head. "Nope!" She padded towards the fridge. "Too early in the morning for an internet privacy lecture. I'll have to distract you from that subject by opening this fridge here," she did so, "bending down low, and doing an exaggerated search for the cream. Oh creeee-eeeam, where
aaaare
you..."
"So," Samantha nervously asked Nina's wiggling ass, "it's okay?"
The other, slightly less-freckled end of Nina appeared and cocked an eyebrow at Samantha over the fridge door. "To miss cock?"
Samantha nodded. "Yeah. I just felt... weird about it, knowing that I love you, and craving this thing that you don't have, and meanwhile we're at the stage of our relationship where you have a favorite mug at my house."
Nina, already pouring, raised her eyebrows at the mug in her hand. "Huh."
"So it's normal?"
Nina replaced the cream, closed the door. "It's normal for some women, yeah." She padded across the floor towards Samantha, pulled out a chair, sat down. "But I can tell it's giving you some anxiety, so let's talk about it. Do you miss the penis, or the gentleman to whom it answers?"
Samantha grinned. "Real talk time?"
Nina nodded, taking a sip of her coffee. "Real talk time."
Samantha CTRL-shift-T'd through her recently-closed tabs. Found the thing. "Do you have one of these?"
She watched Nina's face as she turned the laptop around. Nina squinted, and slowly smiled. "So here's the thing." She sipped her coffee. "I don't keep toys from previous relationships. And as I've told you, this is my first long-term same-sex thing."
Samantha nodded. "So even if you'd owned one in the past, you wouldn't have it now."
"Correct," said Nina.
"And even if you did," said Samantha, "it would've been up a guy's butt."
Nina nodded. "And you wouldn't want something inside your vagina that had been up a guy's butt, unless -"
"Unless it was attached to Cary Elwes," finished Samantha, "yes, we agreed."
"It's never gonna happen," sighed Nina, melodramatically. "Even true love cannot break the space-time continuum."
"Princess-Bride-era Cary Elwes and Dhoom-2-era Hrithik Roshan happened in our minds and in our hearts," said Samantha decisively, "and that's enough."
"And if it ever did happen," continued Nina, "first we'd hold hands and watch, and then we'd take turns."
Samantha nodded. "We have the pact. But look," she said, pointing to the screen. "Would you feel weird about this?"
Nina looked. She thought. "
From
you," she said, stroking her chin, "or
to
you?"
Samantha blushed. She spoke quietly. "I'd like
to
me," she murmured, "but I'd be comfortable giving, too." She reached out and stroked Nina's fingers. "If you wanted."
Nina grinned. "It'd be a learning curve. I've used them before, but only on guys. Gonna be a different angle.
This
is the one you want?"
Samantha stood up, leaned over, looked at the laptop screen upside-down. Grabbed her glasses as they fell.
"Oh for goodness' sake just move your chair," giggled Nina, and Samantha sheepishly did so, into cuddling-range. She felt Nina's arm snake around her waist, and she reciprocated as they looked at the screen.
She opened her mouth to say "Yeah, unless you've got other preferences," but Nina's lips were at her ear, then her cheek, so she had to turn her head to receive a soft, coffeebreathed good-morning kiss, and then she had to let Nina's hands drift into her hair, and then she forgot all about the laptop until Nina pulled back to speak.
"I like it," she said, her nose touching Samantha's. "It reminds me of the one in Sense8."
Samantha grinned. "I liked watching that show with you."
"You don't want something more realistic?" asked Nina.
Samantha hmm'd. "Maybe? I only just started looking, a few minutes ago."
"Oh," said Nina, reaching for the laptop, hunting and pecking. "Let me show you some of my favorite sites. Here's one called -" she looked up at what she'd typed. "Nerk dot derb dot what the fuck
Sam,
put it in QWERTY,
please?
"
"Alt-capslock," muttered Samantha.
"Better. Alright, let's try this again. I've ordered from these guys a bunch of times. Here, look, they've got all kinds."
Samantha followed Nina's finger, grinning. "Aww, look at that one! It's adorable!"
Nina smiled. "I've had that one. The beginner's pegging kit. The dildo is even smaller than it looks, it's like finger-sized. Kevin and I only used it twice before he wanted something bigger." She sighed. "Then the next one we got was
too
big, although it wasn't for want of trying, poor guy."
"Goldilocks problem," muttered Samantha, eyes on the screen.
"Yup," said Nina, "I've tried these strapless ones here, too."
Samantha was intrigued. She thought of holding Nina's thrusting hips, first with straps, then without. She blushed. "They work any good?"
Nina held out a hand palm-down and tilted it back and forth. "Ehh," she said, noncommittally. "Hit and miss. Kinda finicky. I ended up needing a hand to hold it at the right angle, half the time."
