A Different Girlfriend, Chapter 3

by Nuit du Loup

Karen and Donna stared at each other.

Karen wished she could somehow sink further into the covers of the bed and hide herself from the look she was getting from the mother of the girl sleeping naked next to her. She had no idea how a situation like this would normally play out but she was sure that it would involve anger and yelling, not this calm silence.

She was also incredibly uncomfortable with the fact that she was also completely nude herself. It's very hard to feel confidant when your stark naked in front of the person your confronting. The discomforting silence hung on so long she was about to grab her clothes and hang the embarrassment when Donna finally spoke after a large breath and sigh.

"Well…Get some clothes on and come downstairs to the kitchen. I guess we've got to talk about this."

Karen looked over at Emma then back to Donna.

"No don't wake her yet. I'd like to talk to you first," the woman said understanding the question.

Karen simply nodded her agreement and Donna closed the door softly and left. Karen did as she was asked and slipped quietly out of the bed, untangling herself from Emma's sleeping grasp. She tried to come up with something to say to Donna while she dressed but couldn't think of anything that wouldn't sound like a childish excuse. Like Donna she quietly left the room and made her way downstairs feeling both confusion and trepidation.

The more she thought about Donna's reaction to finding her naked with Emma the more she felt something was a bit off. A mother's normal reaction should be anger shouldn't it? Karen thought that Donna's comment was a bit strange too. Even if Emma had told her mother she had feelings for Karen, was it normal for her to feel she should have expected Karen and her daughter to do what they did?

She was still thinking things over when she entered the kitchen. She entered and immediately stopped because the scene was again way out of place. Donna was there standing by the center island wearing an apron over her clothes whipping a spoon in a bowl of what looked and smelled like pancake batter.

"Have a seat" Donna said pointing with a batter covered spoon at a small table with four chairs.

Karen made her way to the designated table and sat so she faced Donna. Donna herself went back to her bowl and scooped out big globs onto a skillet with a hiss. Karen was even more confused. Did mothers normally feed the person they'd caught sleeping with their teenage child? She was very sure the answer to that was no. She sat there watching Donna watch the cooking pancakes for several minutes. Suddenly Donna nodded as if she'd made a decision and Karen steeled herself for what she thought was finally coming. Again she was wrong.

"Karen would help me set the table?"

"Uh...sure," she replied confused and off balance.

Following Donna's directions she soon had plates, glasses, silverware, juice and syrup on the table while Donna cooked off a sizable amount of pancakes. Karen felt nervous the whole time and wondered if this drawn out thing was some kind of punishment. As she was reseating herself Donna came over with two full plates of pancakes and sat herself directly across from Karen.

"Your not gonna deny what you and my daughter did?" Donna asked casually as she scooped a portion of food onto Karen's plate.

"Umm…No…There's no real point since you already know."

"Well, at least you're honest with me." Donna said with a small smile and portioned out her own plate of food. "Like I said earlier though, I'm partially to blame for this too I guess. I should have seen it coming with the way you two were all over each other. I just thought you'd take it a bit slower, but I guess I underestimated youthful impetuosity."

Karen had no idea what to say to that so she kept silent.

"Unfortunately that hasty choice has implications you don't know about, " she continued on pouring syrup on both their plates. When she saw that Karen just sat there she ordered her to eat. "I didn't put anything weird in it. I'm not angry with you. I know that probably seems weird to you but that's how it is."

Karen began eating and watched Donna do the same. She felt a moment of amusement bubble to the surface when she saw the woman obviously enjoying her food.

"Close your eyes!" Donna said suddenly.

Reflexively Karen did so still chewing a bite of breakfast.

"Now I want you to think about Emma and nothing else."

Not really getting where this was going Karen did so. It was an easy thing to do and she thought about how the shorter girl had felt in her arms last night. Feeling herself blushing she moved her mind to more chaste thoughts of the girl. Suddenly she realized something odd. She felt like she could feel something else there. She felt a sense of warmth and contentment along with directionality. It was as if she could feel a knot of emotions in her mind with a golden brightness that seemed to originate from above and in front of her a little was. It was impossible but that knot in her mind felt like Emma.

"What is that?" She asked, still with eyes closed in a breathless whisper. "Why can I feel something in my head?"

"That's what you and Emma did last night. I should have warned Emma but it's much too late now." Donna sounded like this was a speech she'd prepared earlier, perhaps while she was still getting dressed. "You and my daughter are now permanently linked to each other and that link will get much stronger in the next day or so as it solidifies."

"What do you mean by linked?" Karen asked feeling as if something monumental was coming.

"Compared to most of humanity Emma and I are a bit different." Donna began, setting down her fork to give her attention fully to the discussion. "It may be a bit difficult to accept at first but were what I guess you could call and offshoot of human development."

"What kind?" Karen asked in the pause provided.

"You've heard of witches and shamans and such right?"

"Uh… yeah you mean magic and wiccans and such right?" Karen said feeling confused.

"That's kinda what I mean. Emma and I are descended from the truth of those myths and legends. We don't have miraculous powers and such like that crap on TV portrays but that's what we are. I know it's hard to believe but it's true. Watch."

Karen swallowed her incredulity of such a claim when Donna reached her arm out to the wall of the kitchen. When her fingertips touched it something bright golden like a glowing printed circuit shot down the wall to a light switch which flipped itself on. Karen felt dumbfounded. Magic and all that was fakery and superstition, but what she just saw and what was now growing in her head challenged that fact. She was at the least, forced to accept it on a probational basis at least.

"We're not anything special for the most part," Donna said continuing her explanation. "Most of us can't do much more than a few tricks like that. I can do a little more but not too much more. We aren't actually witches, casting spells and crap. We're just a little different from most of humanity. There aren't that many like us. Just consider what we are to be a parallel evolution kinda thing. Emma however is an exception since she seems to be a throwback to the way old days.

She paused to sip her juice.

"This next part is what concerns you; I'll get back to Emma later. Since about six or so generations ago all those born like us have been women without exception. Also that link came into being. All of those like us mate for life with the first partner they choose to have sex with regardless of that person's gender. "

"Wait did you say mate for life?" Karen asked feeling overloaded.

"Yes, there's no way to undo it without severe harm to both parties, the result of such attempts is usually both people trying to suicide. You and Emma now share such a link. It's why I'm not really angry with you. There's no point since it would just cause unneeded strife. Emma chose you and I can't really argue with that. I just wish you both were a bit older."

Karen felt numb. If all of what she'd just heard was true she was now permanently mentally linked with her lover upstairs who just happened to be a living impossibility. She had always thought herself to be a rational person but having a woman who looks as normal as anyone else tell you what she'd just heard was a bit much to handle.

Donna thankfully let her digest the information for a little bit. As she thought it all over she thought she had to accept that at least the link part had to be true. Now that it had been pointed out she couldn't tune out that ball of emotion in her head, she could feel Emma's sleeping contentment, and knew that she was upstairs a short distance away. The rest though was a bit much; she understood something had happened but magic or whatever was a stretch.

"Did anything else strange happen last night?" Donna asked suddenly cutting off Karen's thoughts.

"Not really that I can think of other than Emma's eyes seeming to flash." She blushed as she thought again of what had occurred last night.

"Nothing like a burning fiery sensation just below your stomach?"

"No, why? What else was supposed to happen?" Karen asked apprehensively.

"Nothing else was supposed to happen; but if you had felt that sensation then it would mean something else that I'll tell you about later with both you and Emma together to hear it."

"O…K.." Karen said not really wanting to know anymore. She felt everything about her life had just shifted beneath her. Just last night she had thought she had finally gotten a girlfriend and lover in Emma. Now that budding relationship was something else completely. She was thinking over the implications her new link would have when she felt something through it; a jolt of panic shot through to her that made her sit bolt upright in her own seat.

"I take it Emma just woke up?" Donna said chuckling. "It serves her right for putting her poor mother through all this so soon."

Karen stared at the woman.

Donna laughed harder when she saw Karen's face. "I didn't read your mind. I had a husband once myself and went through all this too. Now I'm just sharing a bit with Emma."

There was a series of loud thumps indicating someone rapidly descending the hardwood stairs then lighter footfalls as that some one ran down the hall. Suddenly Emma appeared in the doorway. Karen felt her eyes flare open at the sight before her and from the emotions crackling in her head. Emma stood panting in the doorway naked and with a look on her face like a kid who'd been told their lost pet had been found.

Suddenly Karen found her arms full of naked girl. She wrapped her arms around Emma and felt arousing warmth both from herself and from the emotions of the girl in her arms. When Emma pulled her head back Karen immediately kissed her. She felt surprise at the intensity of her own sudden desire. What the hell was going on? It felt like she'd been separated from Emma for days instead of barely thirty minutes. Most of all she felt both joy and surprise at the strength of the love she felt from Emma.

Then she remembered she was in a kitchen kissing a naked girl sitting in her lap in front of said girl's mother. She broke the kiss and stared into Emma's eyes relishing the love again for a moment before turning her head to look at Donna to face motherly anger. Again she was wrong. Instead Donna looked on with a grin and laughing eyes.

"Wait… You knew this would happen didn't you?" Karen said in shock and incredulity, which she supposed was a state she should start getting used to if this family was always like this.

"What does she mean mom?" Said Emma from her seemingly comfortable place on Karen's lap where she still clung to her bigger blonde lover.

"Yep!" Donna said with enormous mirth. "My mom did the same thing to me when I linked to Kaneda, Emma's father, so I figured I'd try it out myself. Now I know why she thought it was funny."

Emma though had finally understood what had happened and wasn't amused. Karen felt a sadness and guilt begin to color the bond.

"Cut that out!" She said sharply to the petite girl in her lap. "I'm just as much at fault as you are, especially since I initiated things last night anyways. " She looked into Emma's eyes again trying to send her love to the girl like she could feel Emma's for her. She must have succeeded since she felt the negative emotions subside some. "Besides I don't regret it at all Emma. It's a lot for me to take in at the moment but it doesn't seem like a bad thing. It just means I'll have a deeper relationship with you than most people get to have."

Karen felt that knot blaze now and again she embraced Emma and kissed her hard. She realized she'd let her hands roam a bit when she felt one cup Emma's right breast which caused the girl to squeak in surprised pleasure. This brought Karen crashing back to reality yet again.

"Emma go put some clothes on," Donna said with more than a little laughter. "Your gonna drive your poor girlfriend into a frisky mess at this rate. She's trying hard to behave herself and as funny as it is watching her trying not to feel you up in front of me, it's not really fair to torture her."

Emma moaned almost like a petulant child and snuggled into Karen who was very conflicted about how aroused she felt in front of Donna.

"Don't give me that, you're not a kid. Karen is not gonna go anywhere in the five minutes it will take you to put some clothes on and come back to eat." Donna said now in definite mom mode.

"She's right Emma; I'll be here when you get back." Karen said trying to help.

Emma gave her a quick peck on the lips than dismounted from her perch and slinked back out of the kitchen in that graceful walk of hers. Karen saw the grin on Donna's face and blushed knowing she'd been caught staring at Emma's ass on her way out. Then she looked down and realized she hadn't been the only one getting worked up as there was a good sized wet spot on the front of her shorts.

Sighing she looked at Donna with a bit of her own mirth. "I take it my diplomatic immunity you spoke of last night wore off."

"Oh definitely," Donna said nodding in firm agreement. "As family your now free game and I can now tell my mother I can continued the tradition of embarrassing the hell out our daughters and their partners after their linking."

Karen couldn't help but laugh. "At least I feel better knowing I'm not the first to go through this rather interesting form of motherly entertainment. I was expecting you to tear into me at anytime since it's not exactly normal I think for a mother to be cool with their daughter sitting naked in the lap of another girl right in front of her.

"True, true," Donna responded. "But as you can see our family can't exactly be normal so I just figured I'd get a little pride back. At least you got lucky and didn't get pregnant like I did when I linked to my husband."

"You got pregnant with Emma your very first time?" Karen asked amazed. "How old were you?"

"Yep, I was all of 14 years old. My mom has a bit of the twisted sense of humor that runs in most of our family and she walked right into my room and made an unholy terror of herself nearly frightening Kaneda into hysterics. She of coarse thought it was hilarious."

"She wasn't upset you got pregnant?" Karen asked amazed.

"Nah, like I am now, she knew it was a futile thing because of the link. We can't operate on that normal societal moral system. She just welcomed him to the family with an initiating round of teasing. Father had still been alive then and he got Kaneda a decent job to help support Emma and I. It was still tough though being a pregnant 14 year old. That's why I was glad when you confirmed that the same didn't happen to you."

"Wow, seems like quite a family." Karen said now in much better mood after Emma's little visit on her lap, then her brain caught the last part. "You mean that question about the burning feeling? That's what that was about?"

"Yep, I was gonna tell you both together but that's another side effect about being partnered to one like us; even when you're a girl. Through some magical process that's never been fully figured out, our women can impregnate other women. It's definitely not a biological thing since I'm sure you would have noticed any extra equipment on Emma but it happens nonetheless. It's thought to be some part of the link though. It's especially a danger during the initial linking process. After that though it's mostly a conscious thing on the woman's part, she just needs sexual release to cause it to happen. "

"Mostly?"

"Well, there have been a few rare instances where other things have happened."

Karen was glad she hadn't gotten pregnant but she did feel a bit of happiness that she could still be a mother with Emma despite them both being female, it kinda added specialness to the relationship for later in life. She had always wanted to be a mother when she grew up but had wondered what her being a lesbian would to do that hope. Now that seemed to be solved.

"Well that's good to know." She told Donna. She hesitated before her next question. "So you really think of me as family now? Just as if Emma and I got married last night or something?"

"Yeah, that's exactly how I feel." The smile on Donna's wasn't a joking one this time, but more of a welcoming one. "I may have just met you last night but my daughter chose you and from everything she's told me about you these last two weeks you seem to be a nice enough girl. I knew long ago this day would come so I've had plenty of time to accept reality. It didn't know whether Emma would choose a boy or girl but I have to say I kinda like how things turned out."

"You do? Why?"

"Well the two of you go so nicely together. It's really kinda cute. Plus it means I get another daughter this way and I've always wanted another child."

Karen didn't really know if she liked being called cute or not but the daughter part sounded nice. This was all incredibly overwhelming finding herself pretty much married to her first girlfriend and to one who was a bit different at that. She thought that she should be screaming or something or calling bullshit on the whole thing but she didn't feel that way at all. She found that she liked the prospect of this future she had just been given even if it was all hitting her blind.

"So what do you think of all this?" Donna asked Karen, drawing her out of her musings.

"Well I kinda like it actually." She explained everything she'd just been thinking to Donna. When she wound down she got to the important thing. "I really like the fact that I can feel Emma's love for me. It's still a bit weird knowing that Emma is upstairs right now and I can feel her desire to return to me; but it's comforting too. This should be all be impossible but I find I can accept it as truth. And I also find the idea if being your daughter-in-law to be an interesting future for me even with that sense of humor to work with."

"Well that explains why you never argued about anything I've told you so far." Donna said with a pleased smile. "When my husband was told everything from my mom, he yelled and argued for hours before he believed any of it. I think you and I will get along fine. Just try to keep the naked shenanigans out of sight in the future, I'm still a young woman and there's only so much of that I can take."

"I can try," Karen said suddenly grinning herself. "But it's not just me though. Emma was the one who hopped onto my lap like that."

"And the fondling?" Donna asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Um…yeah that was all me…I just suddenly wanted to touch her really badly."

"Just wait until the link fully matures; you're in for some interesting days if just that little incident got you worked up. I think I might need to invest in some soundproofing; especially in your room."

"My room?!"

"Well you are family now," Donna said now smiling lovingly. "Your probably gonna end up here a lot in the future so you may as well have your own room since we have plenty of them here. I can't exactly tell people you sleep every night with my daughter just yet since you're still only fifteen."

Any further discussion cut off as Emma returned wearing a short denim skirt and a black shirt. She immediately giggled and crossed the room and hugged Karen who gladly returned it. Having gotten her Karen fix for the moment Emma plopped herself in one of the empty seats.

"What have you two been talking about?" Emma asked right away. "Everything's alright isn't it?"

"Yeah, your mom was just filling me in on everything I got myself into last night," Karen told her. "She just got done telling me that I get my own room here."

After getting Emma some of the pancakes that were left the two of them filled Emma in on everything that had happened and what had been discussed. She sat there munching away happily, clearly amused at her mothers teasing of Karen. Karen thought the daughter was very much like her mother in that weird sense of humor department.

"Wow, you really didn't freak out about any of it?" Emma asked doubtfully when they ran down. "Even knowing me and mom are weird?"

"The only moment she wasn't calm was when you came in and jumped on top of her while naked," Donna said in a bland voice before Karen could respond. "That's shocked us both I think."

"Heh, yeah, I don't really know what I was thinking there for a bit. I woke up and for some reason it felt really bad not seeing Karen next to me. When I saw her again I really, really wanted to hold her, I definitely wasn't thinking about my clothes."

"Don't let her fool you Emma, she rigged all of that. She knew you'd freak when you woke up and I wasn't there"

"Mom! That was terrible!"

"Everything was fine wasn't it? She didn't actually go anywhere." Donna said, ruining the attempt to mollify her daughter by bursting into laughter. "The look on Karen's face was worth the whole thing, you should have seen it. She had no idea what to do. She even started to kiss and feel you up before she restrained herself."

"Don't worry about." Karen told her. "Your mom just wanted to win some points from against own mother for doing something similar to her when she was our age. Plus I'm not complaining about what you did at all, I've never had a naked girl in my lap before."

Donna tried to say something but couldn't get it out through her laughter.

Emma tried to ignore her mother by wolfing down her pancakes. Karen just smiled and watched her for a bit feeling out the ball of emotions in her head that represented Emma. She knew the girl felt terribly embarrassed but she was also pleased by Karen's comment. She also felt the warmth burn there whenever Karen looked at her. She wondered what she felt like to Emma.

Karen polished of her plate of food and put it in the sink at Donna's direction. Then she felt a need to get cleaned up after last night; she knew she couldn't smell all that great after sleeping all sweaty.

"Um, Donna, could I borrow a shower and get washed up?"

"Sure thing, Emma why don't you let her use yours, you can show her where everything is."

Karen followed Emma back up to her room and through another door into a spacious bathroom with separate shower stall and tub. The bathtub looked big enough for two or three people. Emma got a towel out of a cupboard for her and hung it on a bar on the shower door. While Emma was facing away from her Karen had an interesting thought and began to disrobe. When she turned back around Emma gasped seeing her standing there topless and in the process of dropping her shorts. Karen was rewarded with a feeling of desire radiating strongly from the girl.

"Uh, what are you doing?" Emma asked smiling.

"Thanking you for earlier of coarse," Karen told her now completely nude, her breasts right at Emma's eye level. "Like I said, I've never had a girl naked in my lap before so I thought I should do something to repay you."

Emma licked her lips before responding. "Like what?"

Karen could feel desire and arousal flame higher in Emma which her own body was more than willing to mirror. Karen moved, saying nothing, toward the shower and turned on the water. With the sound of the shower behind her and steam rising Karen moved Emma by the shoulder against a wall.

"Like this" She said looking into those golden orbs she was becoming to love so much.

She grabbed and held both of Emma arms and moved in. She kissed the girl hard. She continued the kiss drawing Emma's tongue out with her own as she enveloped the smaller girl in her naked body. She wrapped her arms around Emma, just holding her in place as they made out. Slowly she moved slightly and then drew her right leg up against the inside of Emma's left one. Their skin rubbed together until Karen felt her thigh come into contact with the crotch separated only by the girls skirt and panties.

Emma gasped and kissed Karen back with renewed passion. Liking the effect she was having Karen dropped one arm and pulled the offending skirt out of the way so her leg was now only a thing cotton barrier away from Emma's pussy. She ground her leg against the barrier and was soon rewarded with a warm wet sensation on her thigh and a squirming squeaking girl in her arms.

Using both hands now she grabbed the hem of Emma's shirt and drew it over the girls head and tossed it away not caring where it went. The first objective complete one hand moved behind to gently stroke the nape of the girl's neck while the other moved downward on a more important mission. It took a couple tries but she soon had the snap of the skirt undone and removed her leg to let it drop to the floor. Emma groaned when contact was broken with Karen's leg against her so she wrapped her own arms around Karen trying to pull the girl back into her.

Instead of obliging her Karen broke the hold and motioned for Emma to lie on the bathroom rug. Karen felt Emma's lust increase as the girl realized there was much more coming. Karen looked down for a moment at Emma, now clad in only a pair of blue panties sporting a large wet spot, before moving to straddle the girl just below the knees. Bending over she kissed her way up Emma's stomach until she got to the breasts where she took one hard nipple between her lips. She loved the feel of Emma in her mouth and it certainly seemed Emma liked it that way too since her noises were appreciative.

Like the night before she alternated between sucking and gently nibbling the fleshy nub which seemed to really get Emma's juices going. After a few moments she switched breasts sharing the pleasure. When she had Emma really worked up and gasping she began to slowly draw one hand up Emma's thigh. As it got closer Emma squirmed on the rug trying to get it to move faster. When it made it to its destination she slipped the hand right through a leg hole to cup bare flesh. Emma screamed a little, very close to the edge to which Karen had drawn her to.

After just holding her hand in place; keeping Emma on that near torturous brink, she finally flicked her thumb onto Emma's clit. With a sharp truncated cry Emma's hips shot up then dropped back down as the girl lay panting slightly.

While she was still dazed from the first small orgasm Karen grabbed Emma's now soaked panties and pulled them off. This time she wasn't content with just giving Emma one, she wanted to taste her and bring her off again.

Spreading Emma's legs Karen dropped down between them positioning her face right in front of her goal, held there by arms draped over Emma's legs. She sat there for a moment just looking at it knowing she was the first Emma would experience this with. Soon she felt Emma coming down a little from her first climax but that ball of emotions didn't cool at all.

Tentatively she moved her face forward and just licked from the base of the slit and up until her tongue flicked on the clit. From above she heard Emma's panting breath cut off in a hiss. She repeated the tongue motion several times, each time earning her a sound of pleasure from her lover. Karen herself reveled in the taste and feel of Emma. She knew she needed, wanted, to do more. With one hand she rubbed in tight circles on Emma's clit, with more than enough lubricant provided by the girl herself, while she probed and dove with her mouth and tongue.

In short order she had Emma gasping and twitching as she again drew the girl closer and closer. Suddenly, with almost no warning Emma shouted, "Karen!" With that cry she came hard into Karen's mouth who kept her tongue going prolonging the orgasm as long as possible. Finally Emma dropped her ass back onto the rug and Karen pulled away. Karen rose up and looked into Emma's amazed eyes bathing in the emotions she saw on Emma's face and the ones she felt in her mind. She felt the awe and love from the girl and felt her own eyes tearing up.

Moving up she sat herself on Emma's legs.

"How was that for a thank you" She said smiling down into her girlfriend's eyes.

"That was one hell of a show of appreciation Karen," Emma laughed. "I'm still twitching from it."

"Haha, I know, I can feel you." Karen said bending down for a quick kiss then rising back up again.

"I hope you'll let me return that" Emma said as Karen helped her stand back up.

"Well, I still need that shower, wanna help me with that?" Karen said mischievously while turning toward the now very steamy shower unit.

"Oh definitely, I'm quite good with showers," Emma replied grinning like little kid.

Karen stepped into the hot water then turned around to face Emma again.

"Well get that nice butt of your in here"

Giggling like the teenager she was Emma quickly joined Karen under the spray.

"Now it's my turn"
