THE DIVORCEE'S INTUITION
1
Memories of the rest of that day flooded her mind ever since - seeing Donna to the door dressed in nothing but her black satin robe, her hair ringing wet with sweat and still falling down around her ears, kissing her goodbye...
On the lips... For what felt like an hour...
Rachel couldn't get over it! Any of it!
How hastily she had then set about washing and drying her daughter's strap-on dildo and then hoping it would be unnoticable that she had even moved it, let alone the other things she had done with it. And then she poured herself a hot bath and soaked with a glass of chilled wine. It wasn't long before she was touching herself beneath the steaming waters, and like never before...
Donna was right. Oh was she ever right. That wasn't just good sex, though. It was probably the best sex of her life. No matter the intensity she first felt for her now ex-husband, when they were young and in love, Donna had brought her to life and planted a different kind of seed. She felt no doubt, no fear, just a sense of fulfilment that she had never truly felt before.
Saturday came around and Rachel met Donna for lunch. They visited their usual pub for coffee and a bite to eat and not a thing was amiss between them. If anything, Rachel was simply happier, and so they went about their afternoon shopping, only with a difference.
Rachel had never been to a sex shop before, not in her life, and she could never have said "over my dead body" quite enough. Donna wanted to see just how much her attitude had changed and her misadventure into freak-out city went from awkward laughter into all too quiet wide-eyed fascination as Donna gave her the guided tour.
Donna sure does buy a lot of toys, Rachel thought to herself and then thought nothing else of it. Why knock it? She clearly knew what she was doing that fateful afternoon. How ever could she have been prepared for the moment Donna pointed out that she had bought the toys for Rachel?
They went back to Donna's around mid-afternoon and sat down to a few glasses of wine when the conversation quickly and very casually redirected to what happened Thursday.
Up until then, not a word had been mentioned of it. It was business as usual. Business being long-time friendship. But that wasn't to say Donna wouldn't smirk at her knowingly once in a while. Now that she knew Rachel wouldn't completely freeze up, being that she was now out of the public eye...
'So how did you feel afterwards?'
It came slow. Not awkward but not without the coaxing effects of wine and more wine. 'Orgasmic! Terrified! Sexy! Uncertain! In all honesty, I struggled with what you opened my eyes to...'
'Any sudden urges to wear men's clothes and shave your head? Have you joined any feminist militias since?' Donna's deadpan humour at work again.
'WHAT? NO!'
'I enjoyed you,' Donna encouraged, holding Rachel's gaze. 'Sincerely, faithfully, I've been around a little and for a woman who never considered another woman, let alone ME...
And all the while Rachel nodded doubtfully...
'You are one of the sweetest lovers I've ever had the luck to go to bed with!'
'Really?' Rachel grasped, albeit hopelessly. 'Wow I guess-
'You don't need to worry about a thing. No shame, honey. Your whole life doesn't have to change because you decided to follow a feeling.'
Donna was sat opposite until that point, but now stood up and brought herself over to sit beside Rachel, who couldn't remove her bewildered stare. She took her by the waist and pulled her into her shoulder, just a friendly gesture but almost like a form of consolation.
'Plus, if you were 100% straight, do you think we'd have ended up in bed together?' Donna speculated. 'It's all bullshit what people say. You do what makes sense to you.'
'So... what, am I'm gay now?'
Donna laughed disarmingly. 'Well, you went gay for me,' she pointed out, much to Rachel's dismay. 'No! Seriously, don't fuck around with labels, especially when you're new to something. Who cares about heterosexuality or homosexuality, bisexuality or lesbianism? If there's no Rachality or Rachelism on the form, you can't tick the box, right?'
Rachel broke out into a fit of giggles. 'Rachality? What?'
She liked that term, admittedly, and it helped her not to feel so far out and removed from the reality she was all too accustomed with. But still, there was no denying that she was curious as to just where her new explorations would lead to next.
But, 'no, Rache,' Donna assured, 'you're just you and I love you for it,' she finished with a kiss and a tight, prolonged hug.
Donna took her through the toys she had bought, explaining the better uses for each of them. So many different kinds of vibrators and dildos and so many different uses for them.
Rachel wondered where she would get the time for them. Though there was no doubt in her mind, when it had finally been put at ease, that she would be having a lot of fun with them.
'Donna, where would I be without you?' she gushed and hugged her friend.
'Bored?' Donna guessed. Rachel grinned in agreement, stifling a laugh. As she blushed, the colour of pink roses, Donna swore she felt her heart break.
They kissed each other on the cheek. Then as they parted, Rachel saw an opening and went for the lips. At first it was just a peck, though sticky with lipstick and suddenly becoming a habit again.
Donna saw it happen in her eyes before it became physical, and when it happened she felt a spark in her heart.
Those full lips, their own special softness - they knew the difference between a friendly peck and a lover's kiss, and they knew especially how to blur the line between. It made her want more.
Voices faded to silence, replaced by more kisses, then giggles and more kisses. Then Rachel pulled away blushing red.
'I'm sorry, I just-
Donna kissed her back. 'No sorry!'
'I feel a little silly for asking but-
'Hey, it's me. Ask away!'
'Can I see your bedroom just a moment?'
An hour later and Donna was wrapped up in Rachel's naked thighs, strap-on cock sliding deeply in and out of her dripping wet pussy. Sweat poured down the smooth ridges of her spine in a steady stream, dripping down between her buttocks and Rachel was singing a wordless song of total sexual blissful abandon.
