Subject: Second Time Around: Chapter 6

Hey!  I'm so sorry I've taken so long to post this chapter.  I was planning
to finish it and post it last weekend but then I ended up badly breaking my
right wrist and injuring my left and had to spend the night in hospital.  I
had to wait for the pain and swelling to go down in my left so I could type
- very slowly at that.

This story is fiction and so are the characters in it.

It also contains some sexual activities involving two women (which is
extremely strange for a story on this site).  You know the rules - if
you're too young, or this will offend you (maybe you just don't like it)
then don't read it.

Please send any comments to me at another_face101@hotmail.com
I need to know if people are reading this.
Enjoy

Second Time Around

CHAPTER 6
Life is Sweet

Life was almost perfect.  I was happy.  Something that I hadn't felt for a
long time.  You know, you never really realize what your missing until you
get it.  In my case, I had stopped myself from getting too close to anyone.
After my last relationship ended I didn't want to hurt anyone or myself, so
I tended to distance myself from everyone, including friends.  I did this
because they didn't know I was gay and I guess I was afraid that some of
them wouldn't like it and would turn away from me.

It took awhile for one or two of my friends to become comfortable with the
idea that I was a lesbian, just as it had taken me awhile to except it for
myself.  Danny was exactly what I needed.  We had only been together for a
couple of weeks now and every day was getting better and better.

I was at uni sipping on my coffee looking at an essay that I had just
gotten back from my tutor.  I smiled at it.  A high distinction, my first
and probably only one for this semester.

Life was good.  I had coffee, a good mark and a girlfriend.

I walked home after my last lecture.  The sun was going down and the air
was getting cool.  I pulled my jacket across my body and adjusted my
backpack on my shoulders.  I hummed to myself and smiled at the people that
passed me.

When I got home to the flat I threw my stuff in the bedroom and turned on
some lights.

Danny wasn't due home from the hospital for another hour, so I thought I'd
start getting dinner ready.  We were having tacos, which Danny had picked
out when we went shopping on the weekend.  I cut up some lettuce, tomato
and grated some cheese.  I then started to cook the mince.

I turned off the stove and went into my room, or should I say, our room.
Danny had moved into my room and we had made her old room into a study.
That worked out well as I was often up till late working on assignments or
studying, and being in a different room from her meant that I didn't keep
Danny up.

I walked into our room and stopped when I saw my reflection in the
full-length mirror that was leaning up against the wall.  I wondered if
different people saw me differently.

My reflection stared back at me.

Blonde (a blonde that's almost a light brown) hair that went past my
shoulders, brown eyes - people don't run away when they look at me, so I
mustn't be that bad looking.

I took a few steps towards the mirror, so I could see myself in more
detail.  A silver necklace, rings on nearly every finger, no earrings,
short nails and straight teeth.  I tilted my head to the side.

"Having fun?"

I jumped and spun around to find Danny standing in the doorway of the
bedroom.

I placed my hand over my heart, feeling it pounding in my chest.  I smiled.

"You scared the crap out of me!"

"Sorry"

Danny walked up bedside me and her reflection joined mine in the mirror.

"Find anything interesting?" she said as she put an arm around my waist.

I shook my head "Dinner's ready when you want it"

She smiled "I could smell it when I walked in.  Thanks"

Danny kissed my lips and pulled me into a hug.  It felt good to have her
arms around me and all I wanted to do was sink into her.  I rested my head
on her shoulder and breathed in the scent of her hair.

Over dinner Danny told me about what she'd been up to at the hospital that
day and I told her about my day at uni.  It was raining outside and it was
pelting against the kitchen window.  The apartment was a little chilly and
I made a mental note to find the heater after dinner.  I liked this sort of
weather - it was snuggling weather.  I loved hearing the rain out side,
knowing how cold it was and being inside, cuddling up to a loved one.

After washing up the dishes and tidying up the kitchen we retired to the
couch.  Danny sat down and patted the seat next to her.  I obeyed and she
put her arm around me as I snuggled into her.  Yep, I could of stayed like
that for the rest of my life and died a very happy woman.

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

Three more weeks had blazed by and I was coming to the last of my semester
one exams.

I had really had to force myself to concentrate on studying, which was
pretty hard at times.  Danny knew I had to study and she was very good at
letting me do this and she was also very good at letting me know when I
needed a break too.  No, it was good having her around.  Usually in times
like these I'd be so stressed and would push myself too hard.  That didn't
happen this time, which was a nice change.

After my final exam I went to the uni gym.  I spent 30 minutes running on
the treadmill and then another 30 on various weights machines.  I hit the
shower before heading home.

I enjoy working out.  I prefer being fit and like to maintain my strength.
It makes me feel safer knowing that if I got into an ugly situation I have
a chance to get out of it.  I'm not butch, my muscles are just nicely
toned.  But I can throw a punch - and a mean one too.

Last year when I was walking back from the uni library at night I was
followed by some jerk.  I thought we were just headed the same way, but I
realized I was wrong when he grabbed me from behind.  I was in a pretty
foul mood already and he pissed me off more then anything.  I could smell
the alcohol on him when he tried to put his hand down my pants.  He was
pretty strong, but I manage to hit him in the crutch with the side of my
fist, before breaking his nose with a right hook.  I just ran home and went
to bed.  The shock of it hit me later and I couldn't stop shaking.  I had
some of his blood on me from his nose.  Liz had freaked out when she saw
me.  Hmm, that feels like it had happened in a different life.

I got home before Danny, as usual, and decided to vacuum to fill in the
time.  We were going out at 7 to a party that Liz and Steve were having.  I
was looking forward to it.

Having just finished exams it would be a good opportunity to relax and
catch up with friends.  I hadn't seen Mark for a few weeks and he owed my
$10 from a bet I had won over a football match the other week.

I promised myself that I wouldn't drink too much - I'm so hopeless with
alcohol!  I know Danny doesn't really like me drinking - well, she doesn't
like me getting drunk, which is understandable and I don't want her to end
up having to look after me.  And I also guess that I was kind of, just
slightly, hoping that the two of us could kind of get to know each other a
bit better after the party, if you know what I mean (wink, wink).

After I was done fulfilling my vacuuming urge (my mother would be proud -
that is if she actually remembers who I am) I went into the bedroom and
stripped off.  I grabbed some black under wear - I love black under wear -
and put it on, while in deep thought over what I wanted to wear that night.
I settled on some dark jeans and my favorite black t-shirt.  That made me
remember back to when I was in high school.  My mom would always complain
because I wasn't wearing a 'colour'.  It never stopped me from wearing
black though - and half the time I wore it because she hated it.  Ah, those
teenage years.

Danny got home at 5:30 and greeted me with a huge kiss - which, might I
add, lasted for 10 minutes and left me reconsidering whether I really
wanted to go to the party after all.

Unfortunately, her lips parted from mine and she headed to the bathroom,
throwing her jacket on the back of a chair.

"How was the exam?" She had her back to me and my eyes were fixed on her
ass.

I realized I was starring and focused my eyes on something else "Yeah, it
was pretty good.  I think I went all right.  It was the easiest one
compared to the others"

"That's great" She turned her head and smiled at me "I'm sure you're glad
that they're finished?"

"You bet"

I got up and followed her into the bedroom where I sat myself on the bed.

"What should I wear?" Danny opened up her cupboard.

"Don't ask me.  You know I'm hopeless with picking clothes" I leant back on
my arms.

She spun around on her heels, raising her eyebrows as she looked at me.
"Ok, Ok" I crossed my legs and peered around her to where her clothes were
hanging.  "Just throw on some jeans and a top"

"That's a very general answer" She was smiling.

"But still an answer," She was still looking at me and I gave in "Those
ones" I pointed to a pair that she was holding "They cling nicely to you're
a." I trailed off and suddenly found the stitching of my jeans quite
interesting "They're a good fit"

A grin tugged at the edges oh her lips "Well, if you say so"

Danny stripped off her work pants and slipped into the jeans.  I pushed
back a smile that was trying so damn hard to break free and spread itself
across my face.

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

I was on my third drink and it was nearly 11 o'clock.  I had spent a good
hour catching up with Liz and some other friends, which I hadn't seen for
at least a month.  I had lost sight of Danny by this time so had taken up
Mark's offer to dance with him.  It took me a few minutes to get into the
rhythm of the music, but before I knew it my body was moving in time to the
beat.  I spotted Rebecca a few meters away dancing with some guy and I
turned my back to her.  This may sound rude, but I just didn't want any
trouble from her.  The last thing I wanted was her to come on to me, again
(She knew Danny and I were going out, but that sort of thing had never
stopped her trying before).

There was a warm buzz running through my body, most likely from the small
amount of alcohol that was in my system.  I hardly noticed the other people
dancing around me, as I lost myself in my own world, letting the bass and
electronic sounds fill me as I moved in time to it.

I felt hands gently run down the sides of my body, coming to rest on my
moving hips.  A body then pressed itself against my back and continued to
move with mine.  I was sweating slighting from dancing and now the heat
from the body behind me was making me even hotter.  I felt like I could
sink into it and we could become one, moving carefully to this music.
Seconds, maybe even minutes past before my senses came back to me.  I
turned my head and looked over my shoulder, my eyes focusing on Danny's
wavy hair and gorgeous smile (I thought I better make sure that it was
actually her).

Lightly she nibbled on my ear lobe, sending a slight shiver down my spine.
With her hands still firmly planted on my hips, Danny directed me away from
the dancing crowd and into a quiet corner.  She turned me around to face
her and lightly pressed her body against mine.

"Hey" Danny slowly ran her tongue over my bottom lip.

"Hi" I replied, enjoying her touch.  I hooked my arms around her hips.

"I've been watching you dance" she gave me a sexy grin then attacked my ear
with toung and teeth.

Danny slipped her hand down the back of my jeans, which caught me off
guard.  She smiled when she realized that I was wearing a thong.  Her hand
slowly started to massage and rub my ass.

This always drove me crazy and Danny had found this out the other day when
we were in the kitchen.  I was on the phone to Mark and she was trying her
best to distract me.  She finally got the response she was after once her
hands touched my but.

Our kissing became faster and our bodies were now tightly pressed against
each other.

"You know" Danny purred "I would like to see you in these" She ran her
index finger along the piece of material that descended down my ass.

I kissed her neck "Well" I continued to kiss down her neck and along her
collarbone "Maybe I'll just have to take you home and show you" I looked up
at her.

There was a silence between us as we looked at each other.  Danny was the
first to move as see quickly left my arms, almost running to get our
jackets.  I quickly waved a good bye to Liz and then Mark, who was curious
to why I was leaving so early.  I gave him a wink and headed to the door,
with Danny only a few steps in front.

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

It took us roughly 15 minutes to get from the car to the bedroom - a trip
that usually took all of one minute.

Danny surrendered her jacket and backed onto the bed without losing eye
contact with me.  The look on her face was seductive and I followed her
after quickly kicking off my shoes.  Her soft lips met mine again as we
slowly kissed.  Each kiss became heavier as our tounges slowly entered and
explored each other's mouths.

Our lips finally parted, though only for a second, while I pulled Danny's
top over her head.  My heart was pounding in my chest and my hand found
it's way to Danny's jeans.

I unbuttoned them as fast as I could before slipping them off her.

I was lying half across her and this time I could feel her heart beating
underneath my breast.  I kissed along her collarbone and felt her upper
body rise as she leaned up on her forearms.  She was looking at me and I
moved myself so I was sitting beside her on the bed.  I tried to catch my
breath and took this opportunity to let my eyes wonder over her almost
naked body.  Danny's hand came up and unzipped my jeans.  I smiled at her
and slowly slipped them over my hips.  I shifted my body as I pulled them
off, throwing them on the floor.

I sat myself over her stomach and a smile tugged at her lips while her hand
explored my thigh before making it's way to my ass and squeezing it.  Danny
wet her bottom lip with her tongue.

"I've imagined you in one of these" She grinned still looking at the bottom
half of my body.

"Really" I said, concentrating on her touch "Well, I hope I don't
disappoint you" I gently started to massage her thigh with my left hand.

"Defiantly not" She breathed in.

Our breathing started to increase again.

"Do you want to see my bra as well?" I innocently asked.

"Hmm" Danny contemplated this for a second "I think that would be a good
idea"

I pulled my shirt over my head and chucked it on the floor.  Danny ran her
hand over my stomach, tracing my slightly defined abdominal muscles.  Then
with her index finger she followed the elastic of my thong.  She hooked her
finger in it and pulled me down onto her.

We kissed deeply as I slipped my hand underneath her and unhooked her bra.
I pulled it off her and got rid of it.  It hit the wall and fell to the
floor.  My hands roamed her body before coming to rest on one of her bare
breasts.  I gently caressed it and cupped it in my hand.  I kissed my way
down Danny's neck, along her collarbone and down to the breast that wasn't
occupied by my hand.  I took her nipple in my mouth and wrapped my tongue
around it.  She moaned lightly and I felt her hands on my back.  Her nipple
was hard as I nibbled on it.  Taking my time, I kissed my way across to the
other one and took it in my mouth.

With my spare hand I tugged off her underwear and freed her of them.  My
fingers ran up her thigh as my lips made a trail down her stomach.  Danny
parted her legs a little more for me and her scent filled my nostrils.  I
ran my eyes over her pussy.

I moved my body further down the bed where my lips found her thighs.  I
pushed Danny's legs wider apart as I nibbled my way up the inside of one of
them to her waiting pussy.  Danny was breathing heavily and every few
seconds a moan escaped from her lips.

I parted her folds and ran my tongue from her hole up to her clit.  Her
hand brushed over my head as I licked a little harder.  She moaned a little
louder this time.  My tongue found her clit and proceeded to play with it
while I took two fingers and pushed them into her.  I got another loud moan
as I started to move my fingers in and out.  Danny pushed herself onto my
fingers and face.  In response I increased the pace and started to suck on
her clit.

I could hear her breathing quicken and felt the muscles in her thighs
tighten on the sides of my face.  Danny's back arched as an orgasm hit her
and I heard her call my name in amongst a sea of moans and muffled
swearing.  Her grip on my head tightened for a few seconds before she
collapsed back onto the bed.  I slipped my fingers out of her and licked
her juices off them.  I licked her clean, enjoying the taste before
crawling back up the bed and resting my head on Danny's shoulder.  I kissed
her neck and then lightly nibbled on her ear.  She wrapped her arms and
legs around me as she kissed my moist lips.  She smiled, tasting herself on
them.

"Mmmm" She licked her lips and rolled me over "Your turn" She purred.

Danny gave me a sexy smile as she took off my bra then proceeding to my
thong.  She gave me another kiss and brushed some hair off my face.

"I'll be gentle"

I guess my nerves were showing.  I had told Danny about how my ex was
always rough, which never gave me much pleasure.

I was soaking and was dieing to be touched by her.  Danny ran her hand over
my pussy and a slight moan automatically escaped my mouth.  Her tongue went
to work on my clit and shortly my hips were moving in a steady rhythm.  She
slipped her hand underneath me and squeezed my ass as she started to suck
on my clit.

My heart was pounding hard in my chest and my breathing was heavy.  I
moaned, feeling Danny's hand tightly grasp my ass.  I could feel myself
getting closer.

Danny moved her hand, running it over my thigh before returning it to my
ass.

I wasn't exactly timing, so I don't how long this went on.  But eventually
I couldn't hold it in any longer.  I arched my back off the bed as I came
hard.  Danny kept sucking on my clit until I couldn't take it any longer
and I collapsed back onto the bed just like she had done earlier that
night.  I closed my eyes as Danny licked me clean.  My body jerked slightly
when her touge licked my sensitive clit.

My breathing was slowly returning to normal as Danny kissed her way back up
my body.

She stopped at my nipple and licked it before crossing to the other one.  I
felt her lips brush against my neck and across my check.  She kissed my
lips so softly, yet passionately.  Our lips parted and I opened my eyes to
meet hers.  The light in the room made the green of her eyes sparkle and I
felt like I could of lost myself in them if I started at them too long.

I gently pulled her down onto me and wrapped my arms around her.  I was
exhausted.

Danny ran her fingers through my hair.  I looked at her.

"Thank you" I whispered "I've never felt that good before" I smiled and
shyly turned my head away as I slightly blushed.

Danny turned my head back, cupping my cheek in the palm of her hand.  She
kissed me lightly.

"Thank you"

She gently ran her hand over my upper body.

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

My dream that night was so peaceful.

I was on the beach and it was summer time.  I could feel the warmth of the
sun on my skin and I could hear the waves crashing on the shore.  I was
aware of the sand that was between my toes and I welcomed that sensation.
There were people on the beach and young children running around and
splashing in the water.  This all felt new to me, even though I had been to
the beach hundreds of times before.  I felt like for the first time I was
seeing the world.  My senses were sharp and willing.  I could feel a smile
on my face.  I had no worries.

Slowly sleep left my body and gradually I became aware of my surroundings.
I was on my back and there was a faint smell of sex in the room.  The sheet
was covering my legs and I could feel the cold on the rest of my body.  I
kept my eyes closed and tugged at the sheet, trying to pull it over the
rest of my body.  It seemed to be stuck until I felt a shift in weight on
the bed and the sheet came over me with little effort.  My arm fell back to
my side and I rolled over.  I felt an arm wrap around me and a naked body
mold itself around my half awake form.

"Hmph" I made a noise.

"Morning sexy" Danny kissed my bare shoulder.  Her body was so warm against
mine.

"Hmmm" It was too early to use words.

"How are you feeling?"

"Hmm"

Danny kissed my shoulder again and I lost myself to sleep.

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

I opened my eyes to find Danny watching me as I lay on my back.  She was
leaning on an elbow and had her other hand resting on my stomach.  She
smiled when she saw I was awake.

"What are you doing?" I yawned.

"Watching you"

"How boring" I tucked a hand under my head and used the other to tuck some
of Danny's hair behind her ear.

"Not really" Danny paused, obversly to think "How are you feeling?  I
couldn't understand the language you were speaking earlier" she giggled
quietly.

I thought for a moment "I feel pretty good"

There was a few minutes of silence between us.

"You ok about what we did last night?" She started to stroke my hair.

My eyes met hers "Yeah"

"I just wanted to make sure.  I wasn't sure if I had done the right thing
last night by not stopping you, especially seeing as you had been drinking"
I opened my mouth to speak but Danny cut in.  "I mean I know you weren't
drunk, but still, I just wanted to make sure.  The last thing I want to do
is push you into something you don't want to do"

"You didn't push me into anything.  Stop worrying about it.  I really
enjoyed it"

We lay in each other's arms for the next hour, enjoying the warmth of our
entwined bodies.  Danny rested her head on my chest.

"Last night was really good" She thought for a moment "It's been a while
since I've had someone focus on me that much." Danny faded off, thinking
about something.

There was a few moments of silence before Danny leaned up on her elbow and
spoke.

"You sure you hadn't done that before?" She was grinning and her hand was
rubbing my stomach.

I looked up at her "It was bad, wasn't it?" I buried my face in my pillow,
staying there for a few seconds before sitting up.  "I'll improve.  Really
I will" I started to ramble, "I hadn't planned to do what we did last
night, well not really.  And.and. I guess I always thought I'd let you make
the first move, seeing as I don't know what I'm doing."

I was cut off when Danny took my head in between her hands and kissed me
(suppose that's one way to shut me up).

"Mmphmm" My words were muffled by her lips

Danny pulled back, leaving her hands where they were.  She grinned.

"It was very good" She kissed me.

"But"

She kissed me again.

"You were perfect.  Don't be stubborn and disagree with me.  My ex wasn't
that good and she was the one who slept with everyone behind my back.  And
they say practice makes perfect"

I laughed and lay back down feeling better.  I had a warmth in me and I
felt like my whole body was glowing.  Danny hopped out of bed and walked
around the room, picking up a couple items of her clothing.  Her body was
beautiful.  Her skin was still lightly tanned from the summer and her
breasts were the perfect size (a little over a handful).

She put her bathrobe on then ran a brush through her hair and tied it back.
I just watched her.

"How about you go have a shower and I'll go cook us breakfast?" she turned
to face me.

"I can help you cook if you want?"

She shook her head "it's ok, I can handle it"

"You sure?"

"Yeah" she folded up my jeans that were on the floor "You'll probably burn
the kitchen down anyway"

Danny quickly dodged a pillow that I threw at her.  She had a cheeky grin
on her face.

"I'm just kidding, sweetie.  You're not that bad.  You wouldn't set the
kitchen on fire.

Maybe just what you were cooking" she laughed as she ran out of the room.

I chased after her and pinned her too the wall.  She screamed and the
volume of her laughing doubled.  Danny may have been slightly taller then
me but I was definitely stronger.  She couldn't move and was stuck between
the wall and me.

"Take that back" I tried to keep a straight face but Danny's laughing was
making that impossible.

"I'm sorry" She finally got out "There's nothing wrong with you cooking.  I
mean that"

I loosened my grip on her wrists.  She kissed me and then I kissed her
back.

"Go have a shower" She moved away from me.

"You sure?"

"Yeah" She started walking towards the kitchen "I like cooking for you"
