Shona lay under the blankets and tried not to giggle like a kid in a sweetie shop. One of Karen's arms was around her waist, and one of her legs was draped erotically over her own as the woman snuggled in behind her. They were both naked and she could feel the warmth of Karen's breasts pressed against her back as she breathed. It was fantastic.
When they both snuck into the bedroom, they found themselves holding hands and facing each other nervously. It was Karen who first leaned in and rather timidly kissed the other woman on the lips. Shona felt herself enthusiastically reciprocating and moments later both women were fumbling with the various buttons and zips that held their clothing in place. It was hardly the practised striptease of some erotic fantasy and they both found themselves giggling as they eagerly, but awkwardly tugged at each other. Shona almost squealed in excitement as she managed to slide Karen's jeans over her hips and down her legs, only to realise the woman was still wearing her bikers' boots. Karen almost fell flat on her face as she hopped about, trying to tug them off with her jeans getting in the way and they both ended up collapsing onto the bed in fits of laughter.
Shona had to wipe a tear away before she could speak, "Okay, let's try this. I'll do you and then you do me."
With that, she pulled the woman's boots off as Karen lay back on the bed. Karen felt herself shiver with excitement as her jeans and socks followed. Sitting up she allowed Shona to slide her t-shirt over her head, leaving her in just bra and knickers.
After another long kiss, Karen reached out and slid Shona's shorts over her hips and down over her ankles. Earlier the young nurse had simply thrown on an oversized t-shirt and hadn't bothered with a bra and now both women were essentially reduced to their underwear.
After another breathless kiss Shona murmured, "Wanna go under the blankets to take off the rest?"
"We gonna bother with a nightie?"
Shona blushed, but smiled, "Maybe later?"
Karen kissed her again and grinned, "Or not."
They both slid under the blankets and after some rather bashful wriggling about had discarded their underwear and finally found themselves facing each other naked.
Shona couldn't help but giggle as she gently ran a hand across Karen's shoulder and down her arm.
"What?"
"Well, if I had thought it would end up like this, I might have crashed my car months ago."
"What about your poor bum?"
Shona kissed the woman and continued to run her hand down over the curve of her hips, "Oh, it still stings like a bastard, but somehow, I'm beginning to think it may actually have been worth it. Ask me again in the morning."
Karen blushed, "I don't usually end up naked in bed on a first date you know. It feels a little scary, to be honest."
"Well, we can call this our second date if you like, after all, you got me out of my knickers first time, but we don't have to do anything. We can just have a cuddle; I'd be more than happy with that, and my poor bum probably isn't up to much more right now anyway."
Karen smiled and slid an arm around the nurse, pulling her in close, "Weeelll, maybe we can do a little bit more than cuddle, but would it be okay if we didn't just go completely mental?"
Shona's breath hissed as she felt Karen's fingers trail down her spine and ever so lightly pass across her hip, skirting the still burning cheeks of her posterior. Kissing the woman on the neck she murmured, "I think I'd like that."
For a while, the two women found great pleasure in simply exploring each other with gentle kisses and gentle touches. Shona was entranced to discover an area of Karen's inner thigh that was so sensitive that by simply stroking the skin with the lightest touch of her fingertips she could induce the woman to utter the most delightfully breathless sobs and she gave a wicked laugh as she imagined the reaction she could invoke when she eventually chose to traverse the area with her lips.
Karen had thought Shona would be an almost passive lover and she was enthralled to find out just how mistaken she was in that impression as the nurse slowly explored almost every inch of her body with kisses and caresses. For the most part, she was as gentle as a lamb, but when their lips met some of those kisses were passionate enough to leave the woman breathless and the nurse's wandering fingers brooked no refusal, ruthlessly crushing any modicum of hesitance by simply stroking her inner thigh until Karen could do nothing but curl up, eyes squeezed shut, panting uncontrollably, and biting her pillow in helpless ecstasy.
Shona chuckled, "Oh, I'm going to have a lot of fun with you."
Officer Milton trembled as a thrill of anticipation ran down her spine. Her sex was soaked, and her heart raced as beads of sweat formed on her brow, but true to her promise other than tracing a finger lightly once across her pussy the nurse made no attempt to enter her and other than a few light kisses and a gentle nibble on her nipples she barely touched her more intimate areas. But that one stroke with her finger over her sex was almost enough to push the woman completely off the deep end and she clutched at the nurse, holding her in a tight embrace as she shivered and whimpered uncontrollably.
Karen gasped, "What the fuck are you doing to me?"
"My but you're a sensitive wee thing. You give off this hard, confident exterior, but it's just armour, isn't it? You won't need it with me. If you want you can lay it down for a bit, I won't tell a soul, I promise. You can always pick it up again."
Tears formed Karen's eyes, "It's not that easy, it's layered, it takes years of exposure to human misery to form. I'm so jealous of you, you know. You see everything I see and more, but you get to try and heal it. I just get to try and make it worse."
"You didn't make it worse for me."
"Didn't I? I still gave you up to be beaten."
"You did your duty, and you did it as well as you could, I don't think you said a mean word to me that whole miserable day, in fact, I sat there and watched you do your damnedest for a poor wee soul. Knowing you couldn't do anything to change what was happening, but even so, you still tried to make it a bit less shit for her. That takes something special Karen. You're still on the side of the angels even if you don't believe it just now."
"Do you honestly believe that? Please tell me the truth Shona."
Shona giggled, "Will I still get in your knickers if I do?"
Karen couldn't help but laugh, "I'm not wearing any, but I'm pretty sure you'll be having your way with me soon enough."
Shona stroked the woman's cheek, "Then I'll tell you the truth. You're a kind soul, you got me through a horrible experience, and I watched you try and help pretty much everyone you met that day, even another officer who was simply knackered. I think you are an amazing woman. Oh, and did I mention you're kind of hot?"
Karen pulled her face closer and kissed her again, "Thanks."
"But you're still going over my knee."
"What?"
"I have unresolved issues about that day. It's not your fault and it's definitely not fair, but you're the one who's gonna get it."
Karen blew out her breath in resignation, "Oh fuck me."
"Oh, I will, afterwards."
"Cheeky bitch."
...
Eventually, the two women dozed off in each other's arms, feeling warm, relaxed, and each smiling contentedly.
Shona's eyes opened as Patricia bumbled through the bedroom door and wordlessly slipped into the bed and under the covers. The little redhead wore only a skimpy t-shirt and knickers and she sighed happily as she snuggled against Shona and almost immediately began to snore.
Karen whispered in Shona's ear, "Er, is that a thing?"
"Her mum passed last year, and she couldn't get to see her in the hospital because of the whole lockdown thing. She was pretty tormented by guilt and needed a bit of help, so I let her stay here for a few weeks. She slept in here with me, but it wasn't anything sexual I promise. She just needed a friend. Sometimes I would just hold her as she sobbed her little heart out, it was fucking heart-breaking. She got over it eventually and moved back to her own place, but sometimes, usually when she gets a wee bit drunk and she's sleeping over, she sort of reverts back a bit. I guess I'm her security blanket or something."
Karen gave her a squeeze, "You're a good friend Shona, I envy her."
"Thanks. You okay with this? She'll just sleep."
"And snore."
Shona giggled, "Yea, and snore."
Karen kissed the back of Shona's neck, making her shiver.
"Mmmm, that's nice, but you'll wake her."
Shona felt Karen's fingers stray over her breasts, teasing her nipples, "Well, I think I've got you trapped now. If you move, you're gonna wake your little friend, so I think I can get my revenge for earlier."
"That's not fair."
Karen laughed quietly and her hand slid lower causing Shona to squirm in pleasure, "No, but it's fun."
Patricia stirred very slightly and sighed in her sleep.
