âSid?'
âMm..m.' She had been lost in a reverie, wrapped in her own healing reflections on the beauty of their love for each other. She was appreciating the wonderful womanliness of this delicious creature in her arms.
âSid, let me love you â¦' she hesitated, â â¦let me show you my love for you.' She raised her head the better to look into the eyes of her beloved, faltered then continued: âThis time ⦠receive my loving.'
Sid was moved. âAnything you want. Today you can ask for the moon and I will reach up and pluck it out from the coal black canopy. Tonight I will sprinkle stardust in your hair â¦' She loosed it from the restraining pins, letting it spill over onto her face â â¦and all the world will know that we belong together.' Her eyes locked with Ten's and the color rose in her cheeks.
With no more encouragement, Ten rolled her onto her back and placed herself on top. She slithered down until she could press her pubic bone into Sid's slit. She was aware of her wetness running down into Sid and the feeling was driving her crazy with desire, but it was too important that Sid be satisfied first. She hardened herself against her need, willing her body not to respond. Gently, rhythmically, she undulated herself against Sid's breasts, her belly and her hips. Sid moaned in ecstasy at the feelings being created.
This past week of turmoil, trying to cope with violent mood swings, between despair and hope, had taken its toll. Now was the time; she was ready to let go. Ready to give herself to this woman as she had never given herself to anyone in her life.
Ten rose up on her elbows and let her breasts brush lightly across Sid's nipples. Their response was immediate. On her small tits, the nipples stood out round and pointed. Ten looked down at them then up at Sid and smiled. She lowered hers onto the nipples and crushed them to her in a strong embrace, at the same time capturing Sid's mouth in hers, plunging her tongue, with surprising force, deep inside. Sid wanted all of it, her lips sucking greedily around the probing tongue as she felt white heat stab through her throbbing centre. She began to move under Ten, her thrusting pelvis more insistent, more demanding with every move.
âEasy my love, we've only just begun.' Nonetheless, she took note and rolled away onto her back bringing Sid with her.
âCome, my darling.' She held out her arms for Sid to move up. She wasn't used to being told what to do, felt self-conscious. Ten smiled, reassuringly.
âStraddle me with your knees.' This meant Sid was sitting on top of her, not lying as she had expected. âHold onto the headboard, tight. Don't let go.'
She began to caress Sid's thighs; outside, inside, hands stroking around to the curve of her ass and her fingertips into the crease. Sid thought she couldn't stay like this, her whole body was quivering with passion, ready to explode.
âLook at me, my Sweetness. See what your Ten is doing to you.' Sid looked down at Ten's full breasts, her nipples brilliant red they were so engorged. Then she watched as Ten slid her right hand along her cleft while her left kept a steady hold on her butt. Her fingers were gently probing their way into her ready wetness, moving her lips apart, now and again bumping into her clit, sending a jolt of pleasure through to the centre of her being. At last her clitoris hung down free, so big, she could almost see its pulsations.
âDo I make you feel randy?' She looked up at Sid, poised above her.
âCan I turn you on?' Her fingers began to massage the red-hot organ between them ⦠stroking, pulling, always sliding around in her slippery wetness. âMake you crazy with desire?' Sid's throat was so constricted, she could make no coherent sound. âAnswer me.' came Ten's command. âYou have to say.'
âYes ⦠yes.' was wrenched from her mouth. âPlease, Baby, please.' She could manage no more. Nothing mattered but the moment. Ten had her and she was hers.
âStay as you are,' Ten whispered, huskily. âI'm going to lick you 'til you come in my face.' Sid had never been spoken to like this. She thought she would come there and then, but there was more.
Ten moved down so she could hold Sid's ass in both hands and her mouth was directly under Sid's clit. She made a long, slow sweep with her tongue, right from Sid's opening on up. She thought she would die, Sid tasted
so
good. She lost herself in the taste and smell of her. She had hung out for this for too long and at last she was where she wanted to be. Steadily, Sid began to rock back and forth over Ten's face. Her momentum increased as she felt her climax building, so Ten stopped licking and began to vibrate her tongue against the hard knob in her mouth. She had willed her body not to respond, but this was too much; she could no longer turn away from her own need. She crossed her legs and as Sid moved above her, she moved below and together they came to a thunderous explosion of orgasmic pleasure. Sid crumpled down on top of her, both of them breathing heavily, their perspiration mingling and coating their bodies in a thin film. They stayed this way, gently moving together as their vaginal contractions gradually became fainter and they could relax in each other's arms, finally released.
Sid was the first to move. She began to kiss Ten in the soft hollow of her neck. Then she moved round to the fat lobe of her ear and gave it a little bite. Ten let out a gasp of surprise as she felt the nip on her ear in the pit of her stomach, almost like the point of a knife.
âOh, Sid. What was that?' she asked amazed.
âYou're not done yet, Woman. Not by a long mark,' she responded.
âYou eager beaver, you,' Ten laughed. âI climaxed when you did.'
âThat's as maybe, but you've still got your big one,' she insisted. âRoll over.'
This time Sid was giving the commands and she obeyed. Lying on her front, she could feel the pressure of the mattress against her breasts and pelvis. She liked it. It felt nice. Then Sid covered her body with hers. This was wonderful too, Sid's body, hot and heavy on her, she could feel the throbbing begin again between her legs. She was right. There was another one.
She eased off to give her room. âCome back on your knees.' She did as she was told and bumped into her.
âOh, sorry.'
âSilly Pumpkin,' was the only reply.
With Ten bent over in front of her, she had a good view of her backside. This was the first time and it sent her head spinning. To see her lover so open to her, the full mounds of Ten's ass before her, she felt the flooding of blood engorging her cunt, but determined to ignore it. “
Not now,”
she muttered to herself, “
I've better things to do.”
She began to massage Ten's clit from in front and stroke her hole in back. Ten felt herself surrounded on all sides. Gradually she began to raise her butt higher as she wanted to feel Sid more in the back. She got the message and probed deeper inside. The muscles spasmed and she cried out in ecstasy, her whole body suffused with perfect sensation.
She turned her attention to Ten's clit. She would have loved to be licking, but now it was too late. She let Ten relax down onto the pressure of her hand and brought her, by blissful degrees, to an intense, rippling climax as she moved her clit back and forth, just how she liked it. Sid felt the anal contractions at the moment of orgasm. This was her true fulfilment, knowing she could bring her woman to the dizzying heights of a climax and leave her with that wonderful, post orgasmic euphoria, when love is whole and contentment complete.
She turned Ten onto her side and wrapped her up in her arms, protectively. Ten whispered: âI love you, more than life itself. Please trust me. I'm yours, body and soul.'
âThere, there Babe. Rest now. All's well again. We have a deeper understanding between us. We're stronger now. I think we've both learned a lot in these last weeks.'
They drifted off to sleep, once more in each other's arms, replenished by the power of their love and the strength of their commitment. At last all was right with their world.
*Â Â Â *Â Â Â *
Evening shadows were falling across the bed when Ten stirred. How good she felt. They had been lying back to back when she awoke. Now she turned onto her other side and cuddled into Sid's bottom. The rippling muscles of her upper torso and shoulders stood out, well defined in the slanting sunlight. She never tired of looking at this perfect body, so well proportioned; so powerfully built. Her time at the gym had given her an enviable physique. She put her arms around this precious body and began to kiss the nape of her neck. These ministrations brought Sid to the present moment, causing her to turn around and declare: âI'm famished, I could eat you.'
Ten's laughter rang out playfully. âYou've already had me.'
âNo. You had me.' she rejoined, as she gave Ten a proprietary squeeze. âAnd I loved it.'
âNot half as much as me,' Ten countered.
She looked deeply into her lover's eyes, a misty blue in the fading light. âDo you know how long I've wanted to do that? And you wouldn't let me.' Reproach was evident in her voice, but the full, red lips were smiling.
Sid laughed in turn, so happy. There had been severe hurts of the heart that had had to be healed, but that process was now complete. Their harmony had returned and they were the stronger for their ordeals. She could joke, with light-hearted banter: âThen I didn't know what I was missing ⦠now I do.'
She sat up. âMy mouth feels like the bottom of a birdcage, as they say. When I've freshened it up, Woman, you will be kissed to within an inch of your life.' she promised roguishly.
While they showered, they sipped on a cranberry juice. It was slightly tart and very refreshing.
âSid, last Saturday, Rani and Moira introduced me to this fantastic western bar. How about we eat at home, then go along for you to have a look? Would you like to do that?'
Ten was sitting at the dressing table, fresh from her shower, wearing a pink, terry cloth towel, brushing her hair. Highlights gleamed in the ripples as they cascaded over her shoulders. Sid thought: “
Any minute now that wrap is going to let go.”
She hoped, at least.
âTonight's our night, Babe. Whatever you say.' She had changed into her blue silk boxers and thrown a white T-shirt over top. She looked fresh and full of vigor. âTo save cooking, why don't I order in Chinese from the Lotus Garden?' She came to stand behind Ten and looked at her in the mirror. She loved doing this. It was like framing her in a picture, one of the images she had fed on whilst she had been at University. Now here it was, in reality.
âI like it,' Ten replied, looking back at her lover, likewise caught in the frame.
She kissed the top of her head before turning away to make the call. The number was attached to the fridge by a magnet. It was a little racoon Chelsey had given her when she'd taken her to Center Island for the day. She remembered what fun her sister had had on the rides.
Being early in the evening there was a prompt response from the other end. Ten joined her in the kitchen, having exchanged the towel for a robe.
âCan you dress western, Honey?' she asked, circling her arms round Sid's waist from behind.
She leaned back. âDress code, huh?'
âNot that.' She let go and moved to the sink to rinse their glasses then began to lay places at the table. âIt's just more comfortable if you can blend in, that's all,' she explained.
Sid looked dubious. âI'll go see what I can rustle up,' delivered in a Texas drawl. She did it very well and made Ten laugh. For herself, now she was clued in, she would wear an old black T-shirt she had from her Belen days that said: FLAMENCO DANCERS DO IT BETTER, across the bosom. It would be cool, amongst all those boot-scooters.
When she saw Sid again, she was dressed in blue jeans and had found, from somewhere in the depths, an old viyella, check work shirt. It wasn't quite what the trendies were wearing at Badlands, but standing there she sure looked good.
âWill this do?' She looked down at herself, then over to Ten.
âPerfect Honey. You look great.' She even had boots with a heel. When they stood together, they would be the same height.
The knock at the door announced dinner. Sid grabbed her wallet and ran to the stairs calling out that she'd get it. Appearing again, Ten lifted her head and sniffed appreciatively.
âMm..m smells appetizing. It's been a while since I ate a good meal.' It didn't take them long to demolish the platters and Sid had ordered lots. Usually she overdid it when she was very hungry, but this time they had the appetites to do the savory food justice. Thus fortified, they were ready for a brilliant night out.
Not as early as Moira and Rani would have made it, they walked in to a crowd and were forced to stand off to one side, not far from the bar. Gradually, it became possible to make their way closer to the dance floor and eventually find space for their beers, at a stand up table.
Like Ten, Sid had not heard of Line Dancing before, so she had filled her in with as much as she knew, on their way down. When Sid saw everybody out there having a good time and whooping it up, she definitely wanted a piece of the action. Unfortunately, they were too late for instruction, so she had to content herself with watching.
âHow do you like it?' Ten enquired eagerly, although she already knew the answer from the rapt expression on Sid's face. She was totally enthralled.
âGreat stuff. How come I never knew about this before?' Seeing all the people decked out in western outfits, including hat and boots, she recognized what Ten had meant by looking the part. This crowd was really into it. It was cool to see Lesbians and the Gays, enjoying themselves together.
The bracket of Line dances completed, the DJ announced the forth-coming Two-Step numbers. The lines broke up to be replaced by couples, loosely forming three concentric circles around the floor. Outside was the fast lane, toward the center movement was slower. There were not so many on the floor as Ten remembered, so they had a clear view of the action. They stood close together, Sid's arm about her waist.
