A Different Girlfriend, Chapter 2

by Nuit du Loup

The next day at school Karen was almost squirming in her seats in class. Her mood was infectiously positive and people she knew in those classes commented on her cheerfulness. In truth she just wanted to get to homeroom after third hour. When it came she went to it at a fast walk. When she arrived Emma waved her over to the far side of the room where she had saved a seat for Karen.

"Thanks for saving me a spot?" Karen said in greeting, grateful her voice was steady today.

"Oh, no problem, I like sitting next to you." Emma said with completely unabashed happiness.

They chatted throughout the 45 minute block as they both worked on homework they'd been given in the first three hours. The only odd thing that Karen noted however was that Emma only wanted to talk to her. When others approached them Emma kindly and politely turned down their company. Karen just dismissed the behavior trying not to read too much into it. To Karen homeroom wasn't nearly long enough but she was more that happy to walk with Emma to lunch when the bell rang for it.

At lunch Emma again sat herself next to Karen. Amber and the other girls soon joined them and Lunch passed in a pleasant haze. She remembered talking to everyone, but foremost in her mind was Emma's hand and arm touching hers throughout the meal period. In fact she thought she could still feel a slight tingle where the girl had last touched. It was her imagination of coarse but it was pleasant to think about.

Amber certainly noticed her friend's happiness and commented on as they went back to class.

"You certainly seem to be back to yourself today and you're more comfortable with Emma too." Amber said as they walked the hall. "Have you made a decision?"

"Yeah I have, I'm just going to take things as they come and learn about her. I'll work with whatever comes." Karen said confidently. "I don't know if she even thinks of me like that, she might just be really friendly. I'm going to just feel things out for now."

"Sounds good," Amber said, happy to see her friend back to normal. "You get to see her every evening from now on too with practices starting up."

The comment caused Karen to blush furiously and Amber raised a questioning eyebrow. Karen just waved it off and ducked into her next class to avoid explaining THAT to amber. It was bad enough getting teasing like that from her sister.

When the closing bell rang Karen made her way to the back of the school where the enormous indoor pool was housed. It was Olympic size and brand new last year thanks to a grant from some rich businessman who'd apparently been on the school's team in the 80's and wanted to help out. The school of coarse graciously accepted. As she was about to enter the locker room she saw Emma come around the corner of the hall behind her.

"Hey Emma, ready for practice?" Karen said.

"Yeah, though I'm a bit nervous about meeting the team though, I was on a rival team last year."

Karen thought she heard a genuine hint of fear in the comment.

"Don't worry about anything, the girls are all nice and they won't care about that at all. Plus I'll be there with you."

Seeming mollified a little Emma moved to follow Karen.

They entered the locker room and Karen introduced Emma to Coach Svenson. The coach was from Sweden and apparently had been a back-up for their Olympic team back in her prime. Now she enjoyed making teenage girls bend to her standard of performance. Karen had always enjoyed practices, the coach was always willing help the girls push that last little erg and shave just a bit more off their times. The coach handed them their practice and competition racing suits. Both of them were the crimson and black of the schools colors.

When they went to change Karen found that Emma was completely unfazed by changing in front others and stripped down immediately. Karen couldn't help it when she paused in her own disrobing as she caught sight of Emma bare to the world. Karen could only see her back and well toned ass but she actually felt her mouth go a little dry. Then quickly snapped out of her trance and resumed her own changing, hoping no one saw her staring like a horny teenager.

When she took off her own bra and panties and stood there nude and adjusting the suit in her hand to put it on she saw out of the corner of her eye that Emma had given her a quick once over herself before quickly turning away. Karen smiled and thought it boded well for the future if Emma did find her attractive. She finished getting ready and grabbed a towel from her bag. She met Emma at the door with a smile and was happy to see that Emma looked a little flushed.

Practice was predictably grueling as most had not done much in the way of exercise over summer break. Karen had run every other day in the mornings to keep her endurance up and it showed. This endeared her to the senior girls on the team who approved of those who took the team seriously. Emma was also well received, and damn near looked like a seal the way she swam with a graceful swiftness. Karen thought it fit her since everything the girl did seemed graceful and economical in movement sp why not in a pool as well.

Later after they'd all cleaned up the pool area and were back in the locker room Karen got a chance to talk to Emma alone again.

"You're really good, were you on varsity at the other school?" Karen asked.

"Nah, but just barely though, I was a quarter second or so away in the time trials from beating a junior girl for her spot." There was a hint of sad wariness in that comment. How bout you, you're one of the fastest ones out there?"

"No, Last year there were a whole slew of seniors that were faster than me, but the running I did with Ashley this last summer really helped me out. I didn't have enough endurance last year and it hurt me in my times."

"Well you looked damned good to me now!" Emma said with that smile that made Karen want to embrace the other girl. She also noticed that Emma's cheeks had reddened a little with the statement. "I need to get showered and changed; my mom's picking me up soon, she gets all cranky like a little kid when she has to wait to long."

Karen had a mental Image of an older version of Emma's cute face with a cranky child-like expression and spurted a laugh.

"You really ought to laugh more often Karen; you have a great smile when you do," Emma said as she rummaged through her bag for a clean towel and her toiletry bag.

Karen couldn't find a way to reply to that so she simply blushed quietly and stripped down, grabbed her own stuff and made her way to the showers. Once in the showers it was a constant battle between her eyes and her self-control. She really really wanted to watch Emma shower, but there were others in there and they would certainly notice if she started eying another girl so blatantly. She had looked over girls in the shower last year but only in quick appraising glances, but what she wanted to do now was dangerous. Instead she showered quickly, got out and got dressed as quick as she could without looking like she was in a hurry.

In the locker room though, since she was already dressed and ready to go, she had a valid reason to look at Emma since she herself was dressed but was waiting for her friend to do the same. She made the excuse that it would be rude not to look at the person your talking to. If she was distracted by Emma's small but firm breasts and perky nipples she kept it to a minimum. She was a little entranced though when she saw that Emma was shaved and was in plain view to all. Luckily Emma had been engrossed in toweling off at the time and didn't notice Karen's interested appraisal.

The rest of the week and the next passed much this way. Karen got more and more comfortable around Emma and always looked forward to seeing her again. She still hadn't said anything about her feelings to the girl but she did feel that Emma found her attractive since the golden eyed girl always took at least one good look at her in the showers or locker room at practice. She also noticed that Emma was hiding those glances a lot less as the days went on.

By the second week they didn't even bother to hide what they were doing. They both looked right at each other while they changed or showered. The showers they took also seemed to take a little longer as well. Karen just enjoyed being able to able to freely look at the person she desired with an ever increasing wantonness and it looked to her like Emma was similarly disposed since she spent all of her time looking like she wanted to touch Karen even there in the showers.

It was also no longer strange to the other girls to see Emma clinging to Karen's arm or touching Karen when they talked or stood together. Amber of coarse watched on with her knowing smiles. The school at large though just figured that Emma was just really comfortable around Karen and that they were good friends. Girls were allowed to be friendly like that.

They only time that eyebrows were raised in question was at lunch on Thursday during second week when Emma had taken and held Karen's hand at their sides. Liz and Ashley had thought it odd when Karen had reacted by lacing her fingers absently with Emma's and holding her hand back. Amber had told her later that day that they had decided that it had been a reflexive action or something. They had no problem with Emma and Karen's physical interaction during lunch. They like many just thought that was just how Emma was with people, despite the fact that she didn't do it with anyone else. Karen of coarse was just happy with any contact with the object of her desires.

When Friday came, Emma surprised Karen with a pleasant request during homeroom.

"Hey Karen," Emma said, laying her hand on Karen's arm as usual when asking a question or for getting her attention. "Are you doing anything after practice today?"

"Not particularly," Karen said looking into those warm yellow eyes. She saw a surprising intentness there. "Just the usual. Go home, do homework, and whatever comes after, usually dinner."

"Would you want to come hang out for a while at my place then?" There was shy fearfulness in Emma's voice that Karen had never heard before from the normally positive and upbeat girl. "My mom could pick us both up after practice. I think you'll like my mom she's really nic-."

Karen had realized Emma had started to babble in her haste not to embarrass herself so she turned in her seat to look at Emma cutting her off mid word.

"I'd love to come over. Just let me clear it with my parents though, I can call from the coach's office phone later. I'll need to know where you live so one of my parents can pick me up after."

Karen felt warmth build again at the thought of being relatively alone with Emma in her home. There had been no overt hints in the girl's invitation but her imagination was happy to provide what was needed. She pressed and rubbed her legs together in a vain attempt to quell the feeling.

"Really? Awesome!" The happiness in Emma's voice made that fire between her legs increase. "Don't worry about the ride home part, my mom has already told me she'd be willing to take you home. I think she wants to meet your parents at your place anyway; she has some weird quirk about meeting people in their own homes or something. "

By the time the lunch bell rang Emma had given her a full verbal tour of her house and all about her family. Apparently her father had died when she was really young in some factory accident. Their house had been given free of charge as part of the death settlement from the company since it had been entirely their fault for never inspecting the piece of equipment that had failed. Her mom wrote columns for a few magazines and did book reviews for a newspaper and an online review site. Since they had no mortgage she made plenty to live on comfortably.

To Karen it sounded like Emma's mom worked mostly out her home office so she and her daughter spent a lot of time together and were really close. She had never been that close to her own mother. She was a Head Nurse at a clinic in town and was too busy to spend a lot of time at home. Karen really looked forward to meeting Emma's mom.

At lunch she felt an odd reluctance to say anything to her friends about going to Emma's later. Amber of coarse figured out something was up and cornered her after lunch was over. When she explained reluctantly to her friend Amber immediately had a teasing smile on her face.

"I can see those thoughts swirling in your head Karen." Amber said in a teasing voice. "Just behave yourself. You've know this girl for two weeks. You've got plenty of time to feel things out so don't rush things."

"I know, I know," Karen said, not letting Amber deflate any of her happiness. "I know what you're saying already. You'd be just as exited though if some guy you like wanted to hang out with you."

"Hmm, very true," Amber said thoughtfully before refocusing on Karen. "Just remember she's our friend too, if you push things too far too quickly things might end up weird. We are her first friends at this school so I'm just concerned is all."

"I hear ya," Karen said in understanding. "I promise to do nothing Emma would be uncomfortable with."

When practice came she made the call from the phone the coach left open so students could arrange for rides after practice. Her father OK'd the visit without hesitation once he knew that Emma's mom would be giving her a ride home and would meet him later on.

With all the anticipation of being alone with Emma for an extended period of time instead of short meetings at school she couldn't concentrate much during practice. To her mind the hour and a half session couldn't go by fast enough. The coach had looked at her oddly at first then just dismissed her behavior as being an off day for her, every one had them.

Finally the moment came when the coach told them to clean up and go home. When they entered the locker room neither she or Emma lingered around to eye the other today. Karen saw that Emma was flushed and looked to be just as excited as she was, maybe more so since she had been the one to extend the invitation. At last they were changed and ready to leave.

They exited together with Emma holding lightly to Karen's left arm. When they exited the building to the cooling evening air Emma raised her other free arm and she heard a car start in the lot. Sure enough the black sedan that had always come to pick Emma up pulled out of a space and came up to the curb. When it came to a stop the driver stepped out and Karen saw that Emma's short height had definitely come from her mother who barely topped 5 feet herself. Emma's mother must have had her daughter at a fairly young age because the woman standing before her looked almost impossibly young, maybe barely into her thirties. She had similar features as her daughter but looked almost of Native American lineage so Emma's Japanese looks must come from her father. She was dressed a little conservatively in casual attire that looked very good on her.

Realizing she had been staring rudely Karen stumbled to introduce herself.

"Hi Ms. Marsh, I'm Karen Mayes, Emma's friend." It all came out in a quick burst.

The woman smiled the same laughing smile as her daughter and gave an amused snort.

"Yes I know. Emma has talked quite a bit about you lately, practically a biography; it feels like I know you already. No need to be so formal though; just call me Donna, only business clients really use my last name."

Karen always felt a bit weird calling any adult by their first name. Her father had told to get used to it since she was becoming an adult soon herself, but the habits of childhood sometimes die slowly. With Donna though the uneasiness only lasted a moment.

"Yes, well, Donna thanks for letting me come over tonight to hang out with Emma."

"HAH!" Donna laughed and gestured with her hand at Emma. "This daughter of mine wanted to ask you to come over the very first day she met you. It took her till now to build up the nerve to do so and ask you."

"Mom!" Karen found Emma's embarrassed, indignant squawk to be kind of cute. "You don't have to say that!"

Still holding on onto Karen's arm Emma turned to her. "Sorry about that, my mom likes to poke fun and tease people. Since she doesn't get out much she uses me as a target and probably you now as well."

"I get out plenty, so don't be giving Karen any weird ideas about me, and she currently has diplomatic immunity so no teasing for her yet." Donna said with a smile that said she had scored a point in their mother/daughter teasing game. "Why don't you girls hop in back and we can get going. I figured you two would be starving so I ordered some pizza while I was waiting in the lot."

"Thanks Donna," Karen said as she opened car door and got in. "But you don't have to feed me you know."

"Don't bother complaining Karen." Emma said getting in on the other side. "Mom always feeds guests, she won't be happy otherwise, just be thankful she conceded to just pizza this time."

Karen liked the sound of "this time". It made it sound like she would be asked over many times in the future, a prospect she found wonderful.

"Yep," Donna said almost in confirmation of her thoughts. "Next time I get to cook."

With that she got back into the drivers seat and they took off through the city and then out. It turned out that Emma lived on the outskirts of town in a more rural area. It was still fairly wooded in this area and most of the houses were set way back from the road hidden in the shadows of massive oak trees and undergrowth. The drive Donna pulled into was one such as this. They slide between two huge old looking trees that looked begrudging in accepting a road between their thick girths as their roots were clearly visible in the gravel driveway. After a short length down the shadowy drive bordered with what Karen saw were blackberry bushes the house became visible. Karen tried to suppress a verbal reaction.

It failed.

"Whoa man, your place is awesome." She vocalized in a hushed breath.

"Yep, it's a great house, really old too." Emma said excitedly; clearly happy that Karen liked her home.

The structure was indeed old looking but not run down at all. It huge as well. There were two floors in the sprawling structure all of a nicely maintained wooden shingled exterior with a dark brick base wall on the lower floor. It seemed to have been constructed in phases over varying periods of time then remolded to look somewhat uniform. This gave it an old manor style look to it, especially considering that it sat in the woods like this. Karen could almost see the years of its existence.

Donna added to her daughter's statement.

"Yeah it's really nice inside too, really comfortable for a big family even though me and Emma rattle around in that big thing. We got it during the settlement when my husband died. We'd been living in a rather crummy apartment at the time and his place had been owned by the company for some reason, investment property or something. They were more than happy to give us the place in exchange for not suing them for millions and causing a public uproar."

"You can't see my room from here but it's behind that one in front there on the top floor," Emma piped in clearly wanting to do the explaining to Karen herself. "It overlooks the center courtyard. The house was built with this cool open garden thing in the middle of it. I've always liked to look at and be in the garden, it's kind of my place."

"Yours?" Karen asked knowing she was supposed to prompt Emma along.

"Yeah, it's my hobby I guess, I've always liked gardening and growing things and mom let me have free reign on it as long as I stay in the budget she gives me. I hope you like it."

"If you worked hard on something then I know I'll like it. I can't wait for you to show me.

Karen knew it was the right thing to have said when she saw the color bloom on Emma' face and the shy way she ducked her head. In fact the girl almost bumped her head when they got out of the car when Donna parked it in front of a separate garage building linked to the main structure with a covered walkway. Karen followed the other two up to an old fashioned double front door. Once inside she saw the place was well furnished and welcoming. The place just felt warm and inviting with wood paneling everywhere and gleaming hardwood flooring in the foyer. From where she stood she could see a main family room to the right with thick carpeting and off to the left a Dinning room and a kitchen beyond it. In front was a hall that ended at another perpendicular hall and also another set of double doors, this time they were mostly glass.

Through those doors she could see the promised garden. From here she could see a lot of green and a display of colors to challenge a crayon box.

"What'dya think?" Emma said expectantly. "It's a bear to clean but me and mom are proud of the place."

"And rightfully so." Karen found herself saying before turning to Emma and her mother. "Its so cozy looking it practically screams welcome home just looking at it."

"Flattery and praise is always welcome here," said Donna earning a roll of the eyes from Emma.

"Come on, I'll show you around." Emma said taking Karen's hand. "Can you give a yell upstairs when dinner shows up mom?"

"Yeah, it should be here any minute though." Donna said with a pleased grin as she saw her daughter leading Karen away hand in hand before she'd finished speaking.

The tour revealed that the house was indeed massive. It had close to two dozen rooms not counting the full attached baths on four of the bedrooms. That was half the bedrooms the house had. There was a large family room, a TV room with a big screen and comfortable looking couches, the dining room with obligatory wooden table, a fully equipped kitchen that clearly looked like it got used a lot and a couple of empty rooms that hadn't been found a use yet. Emma saved her mom's and her own bedroom for last along with the garden.

When they entered the garden at last she reflexively hugged the shorter girl's arm with a stunned gasp.

"That's a nice reaction; I don't think it's ever made anyone hug me before." Emma said sounding very, very pleased.

"Sorry," Karen said absently, not letting up her grip at all. "It's just really wonderful; it kinda made my mind go a little blank

"Wasn't complaining." Emma said relishing the contact with Karen's larger breasts pressed into her arm. "I'm just really glad you like it."

The garden was a large open courtyard area crossed by a squiggly stone walkway that led to another identical door across from them. On either side was a carefully arranged display of flowers and greenery. There was such a variety that Karen thought she probably only knew half the plants' names. There were even small trees interspersed to add texture to the all the greens and other colors. It was a little breathtaking to look at and clearly showed a talent on Emma's part. On one side half hidden behind some tall grass-like plants was a wooden bench stained to compliment the house's shingles and a lamp with a pull chain was attached to the wall above it. On the exact other side in a wooden box structure was a hot tub with a series of well worn looking path of round stones leading to it.

"Up there's my room," Emma said pointing at a set of double windows against one wall drawing Karen's attention away from the visual feast around her. She looked at the designated spot and saw that the windows would offer a full view of everything below. Emma went on pointing to the identical windows on the other side. "That ones my Mom's their both master style bedrooms with full baths and walk in closets. From what we could figure out this house was made for a family that was really large and all lived together and added on to it as the family grew. We never found out why they moved out. It was just lucky Dad's company had picked it up and then gave it to us to buy us off from suing them."

Emma led them back inside and then up a set of wooden stairs to the second level. They'd been up there during the initial tour but now Emma headed straight to a door they'd skipped past the first time. Entering Karen saw a large but typical teenage girl's room with band posters, a couple dressers, two side tables and a large queen size bed with layered sheets and comforters, a must for anyone living in the unpredictable temperatures in Michigan regardless of what the calendar said the season was. It had a just cleaned look to it that belied its current immaculate state that Karen knew had been done for her visit. There wasn't a speck of dust anywhere, not even on the TV mounted to the wall across from the bed.

"You know, you really didn't have to clean up on my account," Karen said and almost laughed at the stricken and then chagrined look on the face of the girl now reattached to her arm instead of the other way around like in the garden. "I'm used to my messy room so yours couldn't have shocked me. I think a little mess makes a room cozy and lived in, more natural."

Emma nodded her head in clear agreement. "My mom laughed when I panicked earlier and cleaned it all. She said there was no way another girl was gonna believe my room always looks nice and neat. Looks like she was right, next time I'll just leave alone. I just wanted to make a good first impression"

Karen couldn't help but laugh a little. "Oh, you shouldn't have worried about that. You made a great impression last week and as for your house, that garden of yours was certainly enough to impress me."

Emma said nothing but blushed again while tightening her hand holding Karen's arm..

Any further discussion was interrupted by a shout that announced the pizza's arrival. They descend, both their stomachs growling for the greasy treat. Dinner was a fun free-for-all discussion of general introductory information sharing interspersed with teasing comments between Emma and Donna. It seemed almost any topic was fair game in that contest. Eventually, after a surprising two hours flew by and Donna pointed out that it was getting late and that she should probably take Karen home.

"She should just stay the night since it's a weekend." Emma said, clearly a statement meant as a question to both mother and guest.

"I dunno, her parents don't even know us." Donna said, not rejecting the proposal outright.

"I don't think they'll mind. As long as my dad can talk to you over the phone he'll probably OK it. I'd like to stay if I can; these couple of hours just kinda flew by to quickly." Karen said providing her answer.

After quick phone call later they had approval from Karen's father. Donna waved them off as she stayed on the line to give her address info and such to the other parent. Overjoyed both girls went back up to Emma's room. There they flipped on the TV to some really cheesy action movie and got down to business talking about anything and everything as they watched lounging in the comfortable bed.

Karen had felt a little giddy at being in the other girl's bed already but quickly reminded herself to behave properly and get her mind out of the gutter. The more she got to know Emma the more she liked her. She felt content when the other girl held her arm or hand. Even now it felt normal for Emma to have her head in Karen's lap as she lay perpendicularly on the bed while Karen had one hand on the girl's stomach. She did notice however that the one topic set they had both avoided so far were relationship ones, neither had brought up boys at all, which is a rare thing when two or more teenage girls talked for any length of time.

Eventually their energy ran down and both began to bore TV. Actually neither of them had actually paid it much attention for the last hour or so. Karen decided it was time to at least test the waters a little.

"Hey Emma," She said looking down into he golden eyes looking up from her lap. "You think it's a good time to get ready to sleep?"

"Yeah probably, "the girl responded sounding a bit drowsy. "It's just really nice like this though. Your lap is really comfortable."

With a slight groan Emma stood up and opened a dresser drawer.

"D'you want to borrow some PJs?"

This is it. Karen thought. "Ummm…Usually I just sleep naked at home. Could I just borrow a loose t-shirt. "

Karen saw the girl flinch slightly and grip the drawer tightly in her hand. She definitely feels something for me.

"Uh…Yeah you can, you're my guest so whatever your comfortable with is fine. I usually sleep that way myself."

She pulled out two oversize shirts that looked old and worn.

"Will this work?"

"Yep, definitely." Karen said taking the garment.

Before she could get too nervous Karen began disrobing. She slowly took of her shirt and shorts and tossed them in a pile at the end of the bed. As she did so she noticed that Emma was watching her with her own shirt clutched tightly in her hand and a wide eyed look on her face. Karen reached back and popped the catch on her bra and tossed it into the pile. Very deliberately she turned and arched an eyebrow at Emma.

"Are you just gonna get ready too?"

"I..uh..um..yeah."

Karen saw Emma was looking right at her breasts and didn't look away until she took her own shirt off exposing her own braless chest. Karen noticed that Emma's small perky nipples were hard and that Emma kept nervously licking her lips. With shy hesitance Emma unsnapped her shorts and dropped them to the floor exposing her black and white striped cotton panties to Karen's view. Karen smiled to reassure the shorter girl then finally pulled the big shirt over her head. Then once on, she reached under its hem and grabbed her own panties and began to pull them down.

Karen heard as small gasp from Emma and she looked up as she took off her underwear. Emma was nervously gripping her shirt staring hard at Karen.

"Sorry, I really don't like sleeping with underwear on" Karen told her still smiling as she hoped to reduce the other girl's nervousness, cute though it was.

"Um…Yeah." Emma said then hastily reached under her own shirt and took her own panties off. Karen just smiled and moved to put her pair in her pile. She noticed before she did so however that both her and Emma had wet spots on their panties. She wondered if Emma had been nervous about her noticing that. .

With an unspoken agreement they climbed back into the bed together again, Emma pausing to flip a switch by the headboard to turn out the lights and to turn off the television. Emma shared a couple of pillows with Karen and they both snuggled in next to each other. They both lay on their sides looking at each other without saying anything. Sensing fragility in the moment Karen slowly reached under the sheets and took one of Emma's hands in hers. The smaller girl let out a small sigh and stared golden eyes directly into Karen's blue ones.

Slowly Karen leaned her head forward until her forehead rested against Emma's. Through her head and hand she felt Emma begin to tremble, shivering in both fear and anticipation. Neither had said anything to the other but now they both could feel the other, they didn't need words right now. Karen reach out now with both arms, letting go of Emma's hand and drew the other girl to her and held her close, still all the while never looking from those eyes. Very slowly she moved her head closer till they both felt the breath of the other on their cheek. Emma slowly closed her eyes and with that approval Karen closed the gap.

The first kiss was just a soft peck and release, just getting to know the other girl. Then next was deeper. And the next deeper yet. Karen moved one hand up and down caressing the Emma's back until she raised it up and cupped the back of Emma's head then sliding over to till her fingers rested below the ear and her thumb rubbed gently on Emma's cheek.

Karen could feel Emma's hand on her own back moving as if to know her every contour by touch. Karen touched the tip of her tongue to Emma's lips and felt the girl accept it with her own. Karen felt like she and Emma were melting into one another. Gently without breaking contact she turned them so Emma lay under her. When she finally broke her lips away those golden eyes finally opened again and Karen felt her heart beat faster as she saw the same emotions as her own there in that face below hers.

"Karen I…" It was a soft whisper filled with meaning and still a little fear and shyness.

Karen cut her of with a soft peck on the lips.

"Me too," Karen said to the girl she knew she loved despite only knowing her for two weeks.

Karen lowered her head again and kissed down the girls jaw line and then down her neck to the top of her night shirt, each successive planting of lips drawing a small moan, almost inaudible even to Karen. She then raised herself up and again looked into those eyes, this time in question. A small nod was accompanied by a quiet whisper. "I've never…"

Karen moved down to kiss her then moved her lips next Emma's ear. "Me either."

Again she kissed down the trail she had left before this time not stopping. Resting on one arm she used one hand to fumble shirt, and then knowing the trick to it, she pulled it up and off. Moving back she kissed down the gap between the breasts, down Emma's stomach to where the skin was creased from where the elastic of her panties and been moments ago. When again she brought herself up to kiss Emma she saw she had lit a fire in the girl which had begun to burn away the shyness. The kiss this time was almost hungry in its fierceness.

Karen felt Emma's hands come up now removing Karen's top in one deft motion. One hand then went up her side and cupped her left breast eliciting a small moan from her into the kiss. The other continued up further. With a gentle firmness Emma pulled Karen's head slightly. Unlike Karen she didn't move her kisses downward, she moved up until she found a spot just under Karen's earlobe that sent a shiver through her body when her lips touched it. Obviously feeling that tremor she nuzzled and caressed that spot with her lips and tongue firmly stoking Karen's own fire.

Releasing the occasion pleased unintelligible gasping sound she moved one hand to Emma and felt a bare breast. She caressed it lovingly and moved her hands in circles around the nipple. Occasionally she grazed it with the side of a thumb or finger. Each contact drew an appreciative noise from its owner. Finally she squeezed the nipple between thumb and forefinger. Rolling it, pinching it, she did everything she had read about online, feeling which drew the most pleasure from her lover. Giving up her own pleasure for the moment Karen moved away from Emma's attentive lips and moved back down. Going to the opposite side of her hand she took the other nipple between her lips.

She sucked and nibbled and with her hand pleasured both sides. She gave her all into making Emma feel good. The symphony of noises she produced encouraged her onward. She loved the feel of Emma's breasts on her hands and mouth. With one small nip on a nipple Karen was rewarded as the ever increasing pitch of Emma's cries cut off in as gasp and a small body tremor. Smiling happily she knew she had just made Emma cum from playing with just her breasts. It was a small one but it had still been an orgasm.

Going back up she looked into lust and love filled eyes. Kissing the owner of those eyes she leaned on her side and moved the hand that had been busy southward toward a more important destination. She had never touched another girl like this before but she knew what felt good to her when she was alone at home and she had seen enough porn and such online to get a few clues after sorting out the fake crap from decent. Now she slipped her hand down and felt the hot wetness there. The girl felt like she'd sprung a leak and the noises the girl was making certainly seemed to indicate she liked Karen moving her attentions there.

She felt Emma widen her legs so she took this as acceptance to continue. Moving her fingers she performed on Emma what she'd learned on herself. She slid a finger and then two up and down the hot slit. Emma seemed to arch her back and the thrust with her every time the tips of her fingers touched and tweaked her clit and made small suppressed moans.

After a moment Karen felt Emma move a hand down her own body to reciprocate the action. Adjusting herself a little to giver her room she felt that hand touch her and nearly screamed. She had worked herself up into such a tizzy from her own action on Emma that she nearly came just from that first contact. She was now very aware of her own wetness being pressed now into her hairless crotch.

Getting back to work she put one finger into Emma a little ways, careful not to push on the fleshy barrier she found and used her thumb on the clit. Emma feeling the pleasure from this did the same plunging into Karen's pussy and imitated the hand positioning. For a short while both girls stared into the face of the other as their pleasure rose to ever increasing levels. Finally sensing Emma was close to the edge Karen pinched Emma's clit and moved her fingers up and down its short length. Crying out Emma moved again to give Karen the same as what she was feeling.

Feeling both herself and Emma going over that cliff Karen kissed the girl hard. When she did she thought she imagined a flash of light in those golden orbs as a she screamed her orgasm into Karen. Karen thought she literally felt the other girls climax as a flash of warmth jolted through her from both her mouth and groin sending her over that cliff as well. It was a much better orgasm than she had ever from her own hands.

Both girls slumped in exhaustion. Having been tired before their activity, their lovemaking sent them into a deep contented slumber with both girls embracing the other as if unwilling to release the source of the love they'd just felt.

When Karen awoke again it was to the soft sound of the door opening. She raised her head sleepily and saw Emma's mom standing there with eyes wide and eyebrows raised as far as they'd go. Karen, finally getting her brain to cooperate and wake up realized she was naked and still embracing the sleeping Emma who was in an identical state of dress. She felt fear at being caught this way flood through her but she cut that short when she heard the woman speak not in anger or horror or even revulsion or disappointment, the voice she heard was filled with surrendering resignation. And that made no sense at all.

"Oh my my, this is going to be trouble…..For both of you….I really should have seen this coming when I saw you two together."

All Karen could do was stare in embarrassed silence.
