Subject: Science of Love - part 1

This is a work of fiction.  Any similarity to anyone, anywhere,
anywhen is purely coincidental.

This story involves sex between adult females.  If that's not
your thing, or if it is illegal in any way, then stop reading.
Otherwise, Enjoy!

-----------------------------------------------------------

"Shit," I whispered fiercely as I hauled myself out of my
snug duvet, "bloody well late again."  Standing groggily
in the semi-darkness (it was 9am, but winter) I silently
vowed to never, ever drink vodka again.  For the
hundredth time this year.

It wasn't that I couldn't wake up - my alarm clock blaring
out "William Tell" saw to that - nor that I didn't want to
go to work.  Being one of the seemingly few people who
actually enjoy what they do, I am more than willing to put
in the time and effort.  So, what do I do?  Basically, I am
a lowly postgraduate research scientist, superior only to
the lab-rats and undergraduates and definitely underpaid,
overworked and sexually frustrated, as most scientists
(particularly the lesbian variety) appear to be.

Anyway, as my alcohol-induced weariness lifted at the
joyous prospect of heading to the lab, I showered, ate and
dressed myself in whatever was on the floor.  Being a
student has its perks!  I then swiftly changed into my best
trousers, royal blue shirt over a black T-shirt and a
matching black jacket - my clock told me it was
Wednesday, meeting day, so I wanted to look my best -
never know who might turn up.  Actually, I did, and that
was the point - she'd be wearing a shirt, trousers and a
waistcoat, probably my favourite black one with the blue
trim that so effectively outlined her smallish but shapely
breasts.

"Less dreaming, more action," I reminded myself as I
realised I was staring into my mug of cold coffee.

Today would be the day I would Say Something.  I mean,
I say something every day, but today I intended to inform
the woman of my dreams that I am in love with her, that I
love talking with her, spending time with her, and that
come hell or high water I cannot stop staring at her arse!
The problem (there always is one, after all) is that she is
my boss.  Not just my boss in the normal sense of the
word, but my research supervisor, the woman who
ultimately would decide whether or not I am worthy of a
doctorate.  Also, I am a woman, and she is not gay.  So,
what do you reckon my chances are of a successful
encounter?  Nil sound about right?  We'll see....

I trotted into the department at 9.30am, not bad for me,
really, after a bender like last night.  At least ten pints of
strong bitter, numerous spirits and an aftershock or two
leaves even a butch dyke like me a bit worse for wear.
Still, I bring it on myself.  It was all in preparation for
today, although what I should have done, actually, is get
pissed during the day and then catch her on the way out
of work.  Then if all goes dreadfully wrong, I could write
it off as drunken nonsense, beg forgiveness and promise
to go to Alcoholics Anonymous.

"Stay calm," I muttered as I descended one flight of
stairs, "you're not going to do it right away, not even this
morning. Just act normally."

Taking a deep breath, I rounded the corner and saw that
her office door was well and truly shut.  That means one
of three things.  One, she's inside but on the phone or
something.  Two, she's not here at all.  Three, she's in the
lab, which is where I'm heading.   I strode the twenty
metres or so to the lab and swung the door open with an
air of confidence that surprised me.  And the person
standing right behind the door.

"Oh, Christ, I'm sorry! Why are you standing there,
anyway?"

It was Mark, one of the undergraduates in our lab, fit,
football-playing stud (I guess in America he'd be called a
jock or something) and he has a habit of being in the
wrong place at the wrong time.   He muttered something
and barged past me.
She was there, Katja.  Standing over a computer, she
looked up at the sound of my voice.  Our eyes met and
her mouth creased into a smile, eyes twinkling with a
gaze fixed directly on me.
She is of Russian descent, and it shows.  Lean, hard
features, one of the brown-eyed, brown-haired type,
medium build, not too tall but with an arse to die for,
drool over, dream about, whatever. Everyone knows how
I feel about Kat, except her, though I sometimes wonder
about that.

I smiled back, not too much, and said "Hi, Kat - did you
have a good holiday, then, or was it too bloody cold?"

"Yeah, too right it was cold.  Only minus thirty on New
Year's Eve is all.  I swear it's more than that in the
Arctic!"

"What did you get up to, then?" I asked innocently,
dumping my coat on the nearest bench.

"Oh, family stuff, mostly, bit of shopping, you know."
Again, those deep brown eyes looked straight into mine,
distracting me sufficiently that I was not able to reply
straight away.  When I did, I was surprised at what came
out.

"I wondered, would you fancy a drink after work, catch
up and the like? Since we haven't seen each other for a
few weeks."
I grinned, immensely proud of myself.  She'd never
refused an invitation yet, and we've had a few good times
since we met last year.

"Could do, I don't see why not," she responded
immediately, running her hand through her thick, brown
hair.  God, I wish I could do that!

Right, I was set.  The lights are on, the cameras are
rolling, the actors are backstage rehearsing...all I needed
was a kind audience, a good prompter and a little luck to
see me through.

****************************************

The day passed slowly.  Even the meeting was tedious as
we had some guy from another group droning on about
his largely irrelevant work.  Most of the day was spent
sitting at my desk alone, fantasising about what could, but
probably wouldn't happen later.  Once, she had made a
joke about snogging me, but she looked at me as she said
it and I could still see her face now.   Picturing this, I
leaned back in my chair, caressing my hard nipples and
moaning softly.  God, I need this, I thought as my hands
moved faster over my large breasts, stuffed into my bra
and desperate for attention.  Imagining her sweet lips
meeting mine, I slid my right hand inside my trousers and
stroked my clit through my soaked pants, breathing faster
at every touch.  In my mind, I felt her tongue against
mine as I pressed one, then two fingers inside whilst
caressing my sensitive mound with my other hand.

"Oh, Kat!" I cried softly, involuntarily, as my body
shuddered with pleasure.  I waited a few minutes for the
waves to subside, then quickly righted my clothing - this
was not exclusively my office, and I'd have a hard time
explaining things to any passer-by.

7pm arrived, the time when, if we say "After work", we
usually mean now.  I approached her office door and
knocked softly.

"Come in!"  was the reply in that distinctive Russian
accent, which always sends shivers down my spine.  I
pushed open the door and saw papers everywhere, kettle
on the floor, drawers open and coat flung over the back of
the chair.  I smiled.  Nothing new there, I noted.

"Hey, are you coming or what?" I said.

"Er, give me a minute, just want to finish this email."

I waited patiently, looking at a Russian calendar on the
wall.  Shortly she stood up and gathered her things
together, picked up her coat and looked across at me.
"Right, let's go, then.  Where do you fancy?"

Between your legs, I thought privately, as I said out loud
"Oh, I don't know.  How about the cafe-bar in the union?"

She agreed, and with that we left the department and
trudged through the snow and ice to the Student's Union
building.  It was a cold, clear night, one where the stars
glow white with fire, where frosted grass crunches
underfoot, where dreams seem to take over reality.
Scotland in January was not to be missed.   I stood for a
moment as we approached the centuries-old building
which housed a shop, bar and restaurant, among other
student facilities.  I was not ready for what I was about to
do, I never would be.  "Maybe I'll just let it be," I thought
as I picked out Orion, one of the few constellations I
could recognise.  Then, I felt an arm through mine,
distracting me from my stargazing.

	"What's up?" Kat smiled as she held my arm
tightly, gently steering me towards the light of the
entrance.  I pulled away and grinned back as I draped my
arm across her shoulders and felt hers snake around me.
"I was just thinking what a perfect night it is," I replied
rather lamely.  It's hard to think when a Goddess is
returning your hug without complaint!

There were few people in the dimly-lit bar as we made
our way inside.  We picked a table and stripped off coats,
hats, gloves and scarves before we roasted in front of the
open fire.  I went to fetch drinks and returned to Kat, who
was stretched out in a comfy chair.  I sat down opposite
and took a large drink of beer.

"Well, spit it out - what's on your mind?"
I half-choked on my pint.  I wasn't used to people being
so direct, and I certainly couldn't do that myself.
Gathering my wits together, I looked across at her
twinkling eyes, bright with humour and satisfaction.  This
was going to be impossible.  I was having trouble merely
opening my mouth, and I was only going to ask her if the
coffee was ok!

"Yes, so anyway it was damn cold but good to get away
from this place.  Andrew came over for a while but then
left, he had other things on, you know," she continued.
My little ears pricked up at this snippet.  A hint of
criticism of the perfect, sun-shines-out-of-every-orifice-
Andrew?  This I have to hear.

"Oh, yes, mmm?," I murmured encouragingly, seemingly
only half-interested but in truth burning with curiosity.
Something was wrong.

"Well, you know he's busy at work, what with the merger
and everything.  Not to mention shagging his PA which I
suppose takes up quite a bit of valuable time."  Kat
looked down at her cup, wrapping her long fingers
around it with a small sigh.  "Do you know, I knew this
would happen eventually, living so far away."

So did I, I thought privately.  It wasn't distance - an hour
on the train - it was the fact that this guy is a complete
bastard without a brain or feelings to speak of.  Could
work to my advantage, though.  Except that this is a
woman I care about with all my heart, and taking
advantage when people are down is not my style.  Even
so, things were on the up...

**************************************


"You can't drive like that, you know you can't.  We'll put
you in a taxi and you can come and get your car
tomorrow."

"Leave me alone, I'm fine," Kat slurred, pushing me
away and staggering across the pavement.  I felt helpless
- I couldn't tell my boss what to do, but I wasn't about to
let my friend do something so incredibly stupid.

"Look, I've only had a couple.  If you insist on taking the
car, then at least let me drive, hmm?  I can sleep on the
couch, no problem.  Come on, what do you say?"  I took
her by the shoulders, forcing her to look at me.  Those
eyes, bright as buttons only hours ago, were now slightly
glazed and unfocussed as she leaned on me for support.
She nodded her consent and we began walking slowly in
the direction of the car park, my arm around her waist and
her head resting heavily against me.  I wondered if she
knew what she was doing to me.

She fell asleep in the car almost as soon as we had set off.
It took longer to get there than it should have done, as I
wasn't entirely sure of the way, but by midnight we were
inside the old stone farmhouse, long devoid of any
associated farmland having been sold off as separate
property years ago.  I passed on the coal fire and instead
lit the gas heater installed in the corner of the low-roofed
living room.  Kat, now a little more sober, settled on the
leather couch and called me over.

"Come sit here, it's more comfortable than the chair," she
stated matter-of-factly.  I wasn't about to argue.  I strode
across and sat, closer than I meant to but she didn't seem
to mind, snuggling up to me and closing her eyes.
"Thanks for listening to me moan on about Andy all
night," she said suddenly, "I guess I needed someone to
talk to.  I'm glad I've got you as a friend."

"That's ok," I murmured softly into her hair, kissing her
gently on the forehead.  God, how I had waited for a
moment such as this, and now it had arrived I was
convinced I was going to cock it all up.  What should I
do?  My mind was whirling with conflicting suggestions
when Kat made up my mind for me.  She tilted her head
back and kissed me gently but firmly on the lips.  This
was no accident, I thought as I responded eagerly, not
daring to use my aching tongue but feeling her lips part,
tasting as much as I could.  I could hardly breathe.  She
pushed me backwards slowly so that I was lying against
the cold leather arm with her body pressed against the
length of mine, almost on top of me, and kissed me again,
more forcefully with an urgency I recognised.

"Wait, Kat, this isn't right."  I sat up, holding her at arm's
length.  "If this is to get back at Andrew, well, I can't
do it.  You must know how much I want this, how much
I've wanted you since the first day I laid eyes on you,
but.."  My voice trailed off as she brought a hand to my
face and traced the outline of my cheek.

"Sshh, love, and listen."  She brought her fingers to my
mouth and caressed my open lips.  "This is about us, not
him, I want this too.  I didn't know it before but I do now.
All those looks, the joking around, the hugs and smiles -
this is what it was about, wasn't it?"
I nodded wordlessly.  How could I have been so blind?
Of course she, an intelligent, sensitive woman would
have known exactly how I feel.  It is rather obvious, after
all.  I leaned back again, pulling her towards me and we
kissed again, it felt more wonderful than I'd ever
imagined.  Her tongue pressed deep into my mouth, and I
responded greedily, exploring, tasting.  Slowly I moved
my hand down her smooth back, her silky shirt rippling
through my fingers.  I reached the top of her trousers and
stopped, then slid my hand underneath her shirt and back
up, feeling her warm skin with my rough hands as she
drew breath sharply at the cold touch.

She parted her mouth from mine and moved slightly so
that I could cover her neck with small kisses.
Responding with a slight moan, she pushed my other
hand towards the buttons of her shirt.  I didn't need
telling twice.   Breathlessly I undid them one by one,
watching as the sides fell away to reveal her exquisite,
delicate breasts that I had secretly admired for years.  She
sat up briefly and shrugged off the top, and shot me a
look that most definitely said "Well?"

I smiled and grabbed her in a huge hug, manoeuvring her
on top of me in one swift movement.  Taking one perfect
nipple into my mouth I gently sucked, making it hard
with excitement, my tongue darting across the top with a
short, quick rhythm.  She moaned again as I continued on
the other nipple, taking my time and remembering to
come up for air.  I wanted this to last forever.  Kat shifted
so that my leg was in between hers, her crotch pressing
against my thigh in an attempt to bring some relief to her
throbbing clit.  I took the top of her trousers and pushed
them downwards over her knees along with her soaked
green pants, where she kicked them away violently.

"Better?" I whispered into her ear, taking the time to kiss
her lobe and gently caress her with my tongue.  She
couldn't answer, breathing deeply and silently begging
for more.  I couldn't wait any longer, I wanted to touch
her, to taste inside her and show her what a woman could
do.  I shifted out from under her, never letting my hands
part from her smooth, hot flesh, turned her onto her back
and, still fully clothed, straddled her and bent over
towards her mouth again.  With another, almost rough
kiss, I began moving down, tracing around her soft
breasts with my wet tongue, then kissing her erect nipples
as I slowly, with trembling fingers, massaged her hairy
mound, feeling the wetness from her excitement.  Further
still I reached, stroking the side of her swollen clit
causing her to stir violently and moan, louder this time,
more desperate.  I stole a glance at her face, and she
looked back with pleading eyes, begging for more.   I
carefully pushed my middle finger inside her, it easily
went in, deep, and I bent it upwards ever so slightly to hit
that spot which would drive her wild.  She shuddered,
grinding her crotch into my arm.  I slid down, pausing to
kiss her stomach and hips, I wanted everything.  Moving
to the middle, I buried my face in her mound, smelling
her womanly scent, my heart beating ever faster.  Her clit
was an inch from my nose, red and throbbing.  With open
mouth, I lovingly kissed it, gently skimming the tip with
my tongue.  Her whole body bucked at once, making me
lose contact.  I moved another finger to join the one still
inside her and began thrusting slowly, rhythmically
against the wall of her drenched passage.  Her back
arched in response as I teased her delicious clit with my
tongue, probing relentlessly in time with my fingers.  She
was close now, her breath ragged and hoarse as she
writhed in my grip.  The woman I loved was almost at
orgasm through my tender loving.  I closed my eyes and
quickened my tempo, sliding a third finger inside,
covering my hand with her juices.  I could taste her
sweet, musky liquid in my mouth as I covered her clit
with my lips, sucking and pressing as I moved my tongue
in quick, hard circles.
With a cry, her whole body trembled as she reached a
climax.  Screaming out my name, she shuddered and
kicked out as the throes of orgasm engulfed her.
Moaning at each wave, it seemed ages until she finally
collapsed back onto the couch, breathing hard, her hands
running lovingly through my hair.  I crawled back up to
face her, drenched in sweat from the effort. Our heads
met in a kiss that felt so natural and right that I never
wanted to move again.  Resting against each other, there
was no need for words.
