"Don't wear panties."
Her text sizzles in my mind as I board the plane, dragging my carry-on behind me. My miniskirt rides up as I reach into the overhead compartment to stow my bag, and I can feel a flush creeping up from my neck, but despite the full flight, no-one but me knows I'm commando under my skirt. It's not a thing I'd normally do, and I'm incredibly conscious of every stir of air on my exposed labia. To make it worse, I can't think about the fact that I'm not wearing any underwear without thinking of the scintillating sexts she's been sending me, which I can't do without getting wet, so I have a full four hours of squirming in an economy seat ahead of me.
I'm not exactly sure when my casual hello with an old friend from college turned into whatever this is. As I get settled in 24B, I take a moment to reflect. About six months ago, we reconnected over a question I asked on Facebook about — what was it again? — some recipe or other. She works as a baker and we started chatting animatedly about sourdough starter in the comments, before she suggested we take it to DMs, to avoid notifying twenty of my friends every time we responded to each other. Really, it started out innocently enough.
I was still with Brad at the time. He's nice enough, but I think I was just using him as filler in my life. Someone to pay half the rent, someone to cook for, someone to go to the movies with. We didn't have a ton in common and our sex life was more or less nonexistent. She was with someone too, some statuesque brunette I saw on her Instagram. We continued to chat, and once our baking discussion was over, we'd moved on to just being in constant communication. When Brad and I broke up, I chatted with her all through the process. Casually, but we chatted. When she and her girlfriend broke up, I was there, a constant presence, just an instant message away.
We hadn't seen each other in close to ten years. I remember her being tall, with light, short, messy hair and full lips, strong shoulders, long lashes. The kind of masculine woman with a beautiful face that makes straight girls consider experimenting. Back then, I'd been dating women, and we'd met at a college party. I'm sure we flirted back then, but nothing ever came of it, and here we are ten years later living across the continent from each other.
Once we started talking again, I got to wondering
why
nothing ever happened.
Sex came up casually, like everything did with her. An offhand comment about her desires being difficult to fulfill. It intrigued me. I wanted to know more — what desires? It made me think about my own desires, and about how unsatisfied I'd been since before Brad. I wanted her to tell me everything, but even then I knew not to push. I needed to draw it out slowly.
It was late at night — later for her — and we were texting back and forth, probably both a bit drunk. She told me she was thinking of hooking up with someone. It'd been more than a month since her breakup, and she texted me from the club where she had her eye on some woman. I asked what drew her to this person. She told me: the long dark hair, bare legs, tight skirt. How she was imagining the way this woman would look pressed up against a wall at the club, my friend's hand up her skirt, people pushing by in the busy room, none the wiser, as she fucked this woman in public.
I remember how hot I felt suddenly, reading it and imagining it. How much it turned me on, how I felt it make me damp. I asked her questions, more questions than one would ask just out of curiosity. Will you push her panties to the side, or pull them down? How many fingers will you put inside her? Will you push her face first against the wall and fuck her from behind or will you, instead, hold her with her back to the wall and kiss her and bite her neck while you slam your hand into her cunt?
I masturbated, alone in my bed, while we chatted. I imagined every moment, and waited impatiently for her to type back, my free hand running over my clit and dipping into my slit for my slick juices. I imagined her doing it to me, and I came with a shudder and a moan.
It wasn't long after that that she invited me to visit her.
By the time the plane lands I'm just about ready to explode. The elderly couple on either side of me — one preferring the window seat, the other the aisle — have no idea, but I've been on the verge this entire flight.
She has to work, so she's not picking me up from the airport. I'll have to make my own way into the city. She'd told me I could just stay at her place, but I got a hotel anyway. You never know. What if we don't have any chemistry at all?
God damn I hope we have chemistry
, I think. I've got too damn much pent up sexual energy to have it waylaid now. The sheer
hours
I've spent fantasizing about this... it'd be so sad if it was all to waste.
When I get to my hotel room, I don't have much time. She's picking me up right from here in twenty minutes. She's taking me on a
date
. If I didn't know so much about how she likes to fuck, I'd think it downright quaint that she wants to take me out first. But I have a pretty good feeling about tonight.
By the time she shows up, I've pulled my long hair out of its travel bun and have teased it out so it cascades down my back, a sheet of dark waves.
To think I'd considered cutting it
, I laugh to myself. I'm wearing a tight miniskirt, heels, and a sleeveless blouse under a blazer — I'm small-breasted, so there's little cleavage to be had, but I look both elegant and sexy. To top it off I've applied a little bit of makeup, just a light smoky eye and lipstick.
She knocks on my hotel room door. When I open it my breath catches in my throat. Yes, she's still tall, with those lashes and blue, blue eyes. Her head is shaved, just blonde fuzz softening her crown. She's wearing a long open coat, a button down shirt with an open collar, trousers tucked into boots. There's something military-chic about it that, on a lesbian, is devastatingly attractive. She looks powerful. I feel weak in the knees for a moment, imagining her dominating my body, before I catch myself.
"Hi," she says.
"Hi," I reply, suddenly a bit shy.
She gives me this crooked half-smirk, her eyes lit up with mischief. "Ready to go?"
