Lara is a girl that had been through a lot of self searching and confusion. She was (is?) a christian, and had been focused very strongly on her faith. She had been educated in an "alternative" sort of school that taught some rather bizarre things (it was a 'holistic' kind of education that emphasized thought patterns instead of facts), which I decided early on I didn't want to know about because I would just end up questioning and insulting her. She was also into alternative medicines and health techniques.
I was attracted to her because she was artistic and passionate, both items that are very high on my female attractiveness list. Lara was a girl that desperately wanted to find herself, and had been searching hard. She had focused on the concept of finding the "right man" and eventually getting married and having children and being happy and fulfilled that way.
Except she kept liking girls. She kept being attracted to girls. It was contrary to her concept of herself and what she wanted. So she was rejecting it. And yet she fell in love with a straight friend, refused to admit it and pushed her away because of it. She kissed a girl, and then wondered why. She later kissed and even made out a bit with a girl and felt guilty about it. Yet she kept coming back to it. I could see it was causing a ton of conflict inside her.
One of the things she did during this time was read lesbian fiction. I write lesbian romance and that's how we met. She read some of what I wrote, and contacted me. Asking me about things. We began to talk, we met, and it was like sparks flew. Her curiosity was insatiable, and while I was attracted and knew down deep this girl was not straight, she was lesbian, I just was there as a friend and tried to understand and listen and reflect back what she said and simply... help her understand herself.
It didn't take long before she was admitting to me she really liked girls better. She also admitted she liked older women better. (I had a problem being called an 'older woman' but... she was like... 20 at the time, I think... sigh...). She admitted she had fallen for this friend of hers, Julia (it was obvious to me Julia was straight and was part of the frustration Lara had, she kept wanting things she couldn't have and the things she could have she circled around and then moved away). As I have said, I flirt without knowing it, and I had flirted with her some, and when she began admitting she really felt much happier with girls I guess my flirting ramped up. It came to a head with me kissing her at lunch once. Just leaning over and kissing her. She kissed back and it was really, really nice. I remember our hand just sort of reached for each other and rested on each other gently as we kissed, and the kiss lasted about... maybe 5, 10 seconds.
Things moved very quickly after that. She was really sort of hesitant because she didn't know whether to pursue me. I mean, I am 12 years older than she is. That's a big difference to someone that is 20 and inexperienced with someone that is 32, 33 and very experienced. She was intimidated by me, but then one of the things that drew her to me was how open, friendly, understanding and accepting I was. She had never met anyone like that before, I don't think.
The second kiss happened in the parking lot, before we parted, and was much more romantic, with tongues and arms wrapped around each other. Once you do that, there is sort of an implied, unspoken willingness to pursue a romance, or at least to explore how far intimacy can go.
The sexual tension between us skyrocketed at that point. I think she had turned a corner suddenly, deciding she wanted to experience being with a woman. I had started out trying to be a friend and she had suddenly turned into a prospective lover. I was hesitant because she was so much younger than myself. So I shared the situation with a good friend of mine and asked what she thought. The answer she gave was obvious. I had forgotten my friend had been in a long term committed relationship with a guy 12 years younger than herself. It came as no surprise she simply asked if the girl was mature enough to handle a relationship, and if so, she didn't see an issue.
So I texted Lara and asked if she'd like to go out that Saturday. I didn't say "date", but I did ask her out to dinner. She agreed immediately, no hesitation. Somehow in the back of my mind I pictured her doing a tiny happy dance.
She came over to my place that evening and I kissed her on the lips when she came in. And then kissed her again a moment later.
We didn't go to dinner. She was clearly nervous about the evening, and about intimacy, but that nervousness somehow translated into aggressiveness. It was like I had unlocked something in her. I knew by now she was impulsive, energetic, passionate, and would randomly approach things or run away from things. She was approaching me, not running.
Instead of dinner we sat on the couch. It wasn't like we had said, "oh, let's sit and talk for a while," or "Would you like some wine before we go?" or anything like that. No, it was more like... we kissed and then we walked to the couch and wrapped arms around each other and kissed some more. Her hands were on my body and began finding intimate places (my breasts at first) so it was pretty obvious in the first 60 seconds on the couch that we were in foreplay.
I could tell I was getting wet. There's a sort of warm, engorged sensation I get between my legs when I am aroused and it was happening. It was like the warmth between my legs was saying, "hey, it would be really cool if something touched me right now."
Lara has really long hair and at the time I did too. That was a fun thing, because I love putting my fingers into long hair, and I love having fingers in mine. I leaned back and sort of yielded to Lara, letting her be on top on the couch for a while, and her long hair flowed over my shoulders and then on either side of my face as we kissed.
I remember my hands on her ass, holding and squeezing, and pressing her hips in. She has an amazing ass. Not super skinny, but it felt tight. Muscular. She's skinny, not super skinny, but thinner than me. I could feel her ribs against mine, I remember.
My legs spread, with one leg hanging over the edge of the couch, the other with the knee up and then eventually sliding over her thighs. Her hands had slid up under my top, which was a pull over blouse, and were reaching for my breasts. I remember thinking she was going to beat me to touching the first intimate sexual part of the other's body by getting her hands on my breasts. She was being aggressive. And she was a good kisser.
She reached my breasts and I think I must have moaned or said something because she backed off and stopped kissing for a second. I was like... god no don't stop, and removed one hand from her ass and moved hers back up to my left breast. When my hand returned to her ass, it was in an attempt to get underneath her jeans. Which were tight, and I couldn't get underneath very far.
This sort of heralded the need to begin removing clothing. Thank god we were both raging horny at that point otherwise it would have been awkward. My hands left her ass and began fumbling with her jeans button and zipper. She lifted her hips to help but... I needed help.
So we disengaged, she sat up and so did I. I stripped my top and bra off while she undid her jeans. She slid out of her jeans and as soon as she was done I leaned over and removed her top and bra.
I moved in at that point and pushed her down. Our naked breasts came together, and pressed. That is one of those things that happens between two women that has like... well, emotional sort of significance for me. The feeling where the softness comes together, and it is clear we are two women, not a man and woman, it is like a trigger for me. I want to align nipples, feel my nipples (which are rather sensitive most of the time) to feel hers. I kissed her, my hair hanging down over her head this time, and felt her naked torso and mine come together.
She was naked except for socks and panties, but I still had my jeans on. Not fair. My hands were roaming, aiming to get down between her legs, though I was having a lot of fun just letting my fingertips feel her skin around her ribs and side and waist.
Instead, I reached up and felt her breasts. She has larger breasts than I (of course) and they felt marvelous. My lips were on her neck and clavicle, my favorite location and a woman, and it was turning out to be amazingly fun. I was exploring her body for the first time, which I find an amazing treat for any woman.
I moved to a slightly bent sort of kneeling position, my right knee between her legs and my left down on the ground supporting me. We were still on the couch and it was narrow enough we were both sort of wriggling around, maintaining position and yet trying to find ways of exploring each other.
My lips slid down to find her right nipple and I suckled. Her nipple hardened immediately and she spoke. I didn't understand her so I looked up but she had her eyes closed, so I figured she was enjoying. Her hands were in my hair, gently, then my shoulders, then under me and on my breasts, then my hair again.
