Drowning Desire

My first actual slash story, which means theres female/female sex. Don'tread it if you're offended.

Dana saw her silhouette of the doorway, the light beamed from behind her in to the room. Lifting her eyes, a molten brown, everything inside of her heart and body lit up, a smile spreading over her face. "Hey there beautiful."

Alandra returned the smile, brow lifted slipped her arms around her lover. "I figured I'd find you here." Dana's arms slid around her neck, fingertips tentative at the nape, curled in the long dark locks of hair that tumbled past her shoulders.

Dana's head tilted back, at a height disadvantage, "Miss me much?"

Green met gold both amused at the simple games they enjoyed with each other, "More so than you'd like to hear." Aware that her girlfriend was nearly as modest as she herself was Alandra simply grinned, her hands linked in themselves holding her close. The contours of their bodies fit like two halves of a coin, hips shifting to tease, breasts brushing against their kind.

Dana touched the tip of her tongue to the top of her own lip eyes sparked, "Then you'll have to show me." It was the tone of voice that Alandra knew her lover used when it was evident she was to be driven insane. Already Alandra could practically taste her mouth and her own hadn't even descended. She wondered how wet Dana already was, and how badly she wanted to see her tremble and call for her as she sprinted towards fulfillment.

Sliding a hand under Dana's knees she was rewarded with a squeak. Feeling the arms tighten around her neck, Alandra restrained herself from taking her girlfriends soft mouth, instead making her way towards the bedroom.

Dana wasn't as restricted, skimming her teeth over Alandra's bared neck, thrilled at the groan of impatience the other woman gave. Lifting her mouth to her girlfriends ear she murmured quietly a suggestion of just exactly what she wanted to do, followed by a nip at the earlobe and a spatter of Gaelic she knew drove her lover to the edge of sanity. "That and more." Alandra decided blood already on a low simmer, set the smaller woman down on the bed, still muddled from the morning when they'd lied together wrapped in each others arms.

The instant her lover touched the mattress Alandra gave into the want of her lips against hers. The kiss was hungry at first, delved into places that were only whispered about. Her tongue searching her lovers found a place of burning need and devotion. Alandra felt arms pull around her back dragging her down against the other woman's smaller frame. Desire swarmed them both, caught in the wave of passion as each relearned the taste of each other, exiting each time and different.

Dana hooked her fingertips in the hem of her girlfriends shirt and tugged it roughly over her head to send her fingernail over the skin of her lovers back. Alandra shuddered under her touch mouths and tongues deeply tangled. At the moment neither breathed anything but the other, felt nothing but laden strokes that muted promises of fulfillment.

Dana had the clasps of the restraint undone and off of Alandra's arms before the other woman could say otherwise. Hooking her legs around the slim waist Dana rolled pinning her lover on her back.

Eyes widening in surprise and arousal Alandra's hand slid to the back of Dana's neck touching her mouth to hers again in a bone shattering caress of admiration. Dana's tiny fairy-like hands slid up and over Alandra's rib cage, breath catching as they closed over her girlfriends larger breasts. Her nipples hardened in response, and Alandra let out one long moan as Dana's mouth settled on the column of her throat.

Teeth scraped and tongue tended as Alandra dragged her lovers shirt from her head, breaking contact for a splinter of a second. Before she could Undo the clasp as Dana had done a moment before the woman withdrew catching Alandra's hands pinning them near her head. Alandra's hips lifted in instinct, her eyes a deep green with curiosity, breathing hard. Dana smiled and branded her girlfriends mouth hard allured by the stinging red of it after such drugging kisses. Kissing down the hollow of Alandra's throat, hands still captured Dana slid her tongue over the dark rose of the nipple erect from arousal.

Alandra's entire boy gave one long jerk, hands tensing as her lover ravaged her breast mercilessly. Biting into the soft gathering of tissue Alandra barely muffled a moan of wantonness, tensing again as her girlfriend took the nipple deeply inside of her mouth sucking and licking her to a frenzy. "God please." Alandra groaned shifting under busy lips.

Pleased at the cry Dana released Alandra's hands and dragged at the clasp of her own bra letting it fall to her waist. She watched Alandra 's eyes darken with intrigue, then leaned back straddling her lovers waist, propped by her hands behind her. Raising up Alandra fastened her mouth on her girlfriends small and delightfully full breasts, sucking and teasing like a starving animal. Her hands raced down Dana's back griping her backside to grind her hips up against her own .

Dana's throat vibrated as her lover's mouth roamed over her breasts feathering kisses and nipping the swollen tissue into a perked state. She curled her hands in the dark locks of Alandra's hair holding her mouth exactly where she wanted it, angling it ever so often when she found a spot that sent a lowly shudder down her spine. Unable to help but follow Dana's lead Alandra turned and pressed her lover into the mattress tugging at her jeans pulling it over her hips.

On a sharp intake of breath Dana lifted to allow her clothing to be shed, nearly naked to her lovers view. Alandra's hand slid up over her calves, to her knees and thighs up her stomach. Her fingertips teased the silver bar there before retreating to her chest, laying beside e her touched her mouth to Dana's gently, "You're beautiful...so beautiful."

And being there with the one person in the world she could count on Dana felt beautiful. Turning to her side she wrapped her arms around Alandra's waist and deepened the kiss, hands stroking down inside the waist band of her girlfriends pants over her bottom. Alandra squeaked when she gave a playful squeeze, and responded by running her tongue deeply into Dana's mouth rubbing against hers.

Sliding her hands up the insides of Dana's bare thighs she forced her wide open closing her palm over the hot core of her girlfriend. She felt Dana's hips lift in instinct and driving need as she slid her finger underneath the thin barrier and along the sensitive slit. She nearly raised off the bed when Alandra moved her finger across the very point of ecstasy, her hands tightening on her lover's rear fighting to shove the material down

Tracing her girlfriends lips with her tongue Alandra let it plunge into her mouth the moment her finger slid deeply inside the wet cavern. Catching the cry with her mouth Alandra moved hard into her, withdrawing only to add a second finger plunging again and again. Her thumb moved against the very thing needed to send her lover over.

Dana's head fell back on a curse in Gaelic, teeth fastened to her throat as she hung onto Alandra's shoulders nearly there. Adding a third Alandra felt Dana start to peak, and an instant before the diving edge she pulled her hand away swiftly. Nearly sobbing Dana lifted her hips at the feeling of being deprived of her release. "Alandra-" Silencing her were her lover's fingertips, wet with Dana's own arousal.

Alandra lifted her body back over her girlfriends letting Dana slowly lick her fingertips, tasting herself. Sliding her fingers deeply back inside of her Dana cried out and surrendered violently.

Opening Dana's mouth slowly Alandra set her lips against hers in hunger, tasting the sweetness of arousal on her lover's mouth. Her other hand dragged the panties from Dana's legs kicking her own pants off until they were naked bodies pressed against each other. "Shh" Alandra murmured as Dana started to speak and only began a slow trail of kisses down her girlfriends body.

Dana licked and sucked at the fingertips Alandra still offered her, the taste of herself nearly as enthralling as the taste of her woman. Pausing at each of her breasts Alandra moved lower to her stomach and rained kisses over the tops of her girlfriends thighs. Dana's hands tightened on the bedcovers as Alandra's beautiful mouth touched her most intimate of lips.

Her body shook, as Alandra's tongue slid along the pink curve, nestled with dark curls. Darting her tongue around the vary core Alandra sucked at her lover's tiny nub, reveling in the taste of her. Warmth flowed onto her tongue the more she licked, like a never ending supply of honey. Her hand moved down over Dana's body to slide three fingers deep into the wet cavern, a forth running behind her as Alandra's mouth continued to torture.

Jean lifted from the mattress, with a cry of release, her mind and body expelling all there was to give. Alandra drank from her, pulling back only after her lover came again. Finally retreating to allow her to come down. Licking her fingers clean Alandra returned sliding her fingertips along the side of her girlfriends jaw pressing her mouth to her jaw and her temple.

Dana's hand lifted, locking around Alandra's neck drawing her mouth down to hers, giving kisses of praise and adornment. "Let me." she begged quietly, waiting for her lover to answer. Alandra gathered Dana's waist and rolled setting the smaller woman's body on top of hers.

"Do as you will." Alandra murmured, running her hands along Dana's hips before her lovers mouth retreated to her breast, stroking her tongue over the sensitive underside.

Kissing back up to her lover's ear she murmured a quiet suggestion that had Alandra's lips curling slowly, "Lets."

Turning herself to that her back was facing her lover Dana ran her hands over Alandra's long, slender legs pressing her mouth to the line where leg met torso. Leaning to press her mouth to Alandra's heat she left her own vulnerable and dripping over her girlfriends face.

Lifting Dana's knees over her shoulders Alandra fed again, fueled by the drugging feeling of Dana kissing her clit. Her lover's tongue raced around her core as she explored the same, hands running over thighs, lips and tongue coaxing them both towards madness. Sanity abandoned them both as they bucked under each other, coming on a wave of emotion.

Gathering her lover in her arms Alandra drew her up along side of her, tongue buzzing with sweet nectar. Dana's head settled at the crook of her neck, her hand stroking over Alandra's stomach attentively. When it descended lower stroking her fingertips through the V of hair at the juncture of her girlfriends thighs Alandra's brow raised in curiosity.

Dana's head angled to run her tongue over her lover's jaw, "You've given me three." She murmured, sliding her finger along the moist cavern arousal waiting there.

Alandra shifted lifting against her hand "Who's counting?"

As a generous lover Alandra found more pleasure in giving than she sometimes did in having received it. She new that Dana's pride alone was motive enough to lie back and let herself take advantage of it. Her girlfriends head lifted eyes bright grinned at her simple. She brushed her mouth against hers "Don't move."

Thinking uh oh Alandra watched as Dana moved from the bed padding across their room, naked, towards the closet. Propping herself up on her elbow Alandra watched with fascination as Dana had to stand on her toes to get the box, the smooth line of her calves and thighs working to add height.

She turned back to the bed hiding something behind her back. Alandra's lips twitched, "What have you got there trouble?" she wondered out loud, and watched curious as her lover produced a double ended toy that gleamed ivory.

Dana couldn't stop the giggle, "I went shopping...and it looked like fun." She touched her tongue to the top of Alandra's mouth climbing over to straddle her waist.

Alandra grinned and nipped at her girlfriends ear lobe, "Yes it does."

Dana took her time sending her mouth on an adoring journey to ever point on Alandra 's body. Mind swimming Alandra barely felt the blunt object at her hip, felt the item start to hum lowly. She growled playfully and ran her hands over Dana's smaller body.

Alandra's eyes closed as Dana kissed her hard and slid the head of the item into her lover, forcing her legs to open to accept the buzzing toy. With a long drugging kiss Dana slid the shaft deeply inside of her girlfriend, rewarded with a cry of pleasure mixed with her name.

Working it in and out of her lover's hungry core, no longer feeling resistance she moved to straddle Alandra, kissing along the curve of her breast as she impaled herself on the double ended shaft. Dana's back arched at the sensation of being filled, her hands lifting to tangle in her own hair as pleasure lapped at her, staring to rock, each movement sending the toy deeper into her lover, withdrawing it from herself.

Rocking with the pulsing rhythm Alandra's hands cruised over her girlfriend's hips guiding her to sink down deeper. When the pleasure was at a breaking point she reached between them both and stroked her thumb over Dana's clit to send her spiraling after her. She sobbed into a violent climax, arching back before collapsing on top of her girlfriend, the toy discarded to the floor with most of the blankets.

Skin was slick with sweat, pulses hammering against each other as breath was too precious to pass up. Wrapped up and around each other Alandra nuzzled at Dana's ear "Graim thu." She said quietly.

Dana's head lifted eyes darkening as tears threatened to spill and pressed her mouth to her lovers returning the simple words of love, before settling back in her lover's arms to drift away on a dream.

Dana shifted slowly in sleep as Alandra drew from the bed, grasping for a robe. Alandra looked back at her girlfriend standing on the side of the bed. Her arm was outstretched where the bed had yet to cool from the warmth of Alandra's body. Her lips curled as she leaned to press her lips against Dana's temple, before slipping from the room.

The next thing Dana was aware of was the smell of food percolating through the room, her stomach gave one loud rumble waking her from sleep. She gave a long stretch and opened her eyes the moment her lover came through the door holding a tray that harbored large bowls of pasta and a bottle of wine. "Look who decided to wake up."

Dana's lips curled as she cushioned her head on her arm peering up adoringly, "You brought me food."

"Oh? Did you want some too?” Alandra grinned setting the tray on the night stand, the glasses next to it.

Dana sat up with a smirk and slipping from the bed she grabbed a large T-shirt. Walking back to the bed she slid her arms around her lover nuzzling between her shoulder blades. "Here you are." Alandra handed her a flute filled with a crimson swirl of wine.

She took the glass slipping back to the bed sat in the middle her legs drawn up under her. Lifting the glass to her lips she watched her girlfriend set up the pasta into a single a bowl of it. "Come here you." Dana's finger crooked.

Brow twitching Alandra lent over the bed, brushing her mouth over Dana's just to the point of gentle contact, drawing out the long moment of embrace. Pulling away she smiled and sat her own wine and pasta in her hand. Curling the pasta on the fork Alandra offered it to the other woman. Eyes locked as she fed her lover, heat stirred quietly. A noodle slid from the fork setting itself on the top of Dana's thigh.

Instinct made Dana reach to grab it but Alandra caught her hand, instead lowering her head picked the noodle up with her mouth tongue slicking over her lover's thigh. Heat balled in Dana's stomach, and she reached for her lover. Alandra pulled back with a shake of her head, "you'll eat first. I’m not going to let you waste away."

"Mm not likely." Pouting only a little she accepted another bite, then took her wine to her mouth it watch her girlfriend eat as well. They both took turns eating the prepared pasta, purposely taunting each other with a hint of tongue around the fork or a sultry look under the lashes.

"If you're good I'll let you join me for my shower." Alandra smirked and offered the fork again. Dana's eyes sparked and chewed quietly, setting her flute on the table laid her head on her lover's thigh.

Quietly Alandra set the fork down and ran her hand over Dana's hair, reveling in it's softness her fingers streaking through it. "What's on your mind lover?" Alandra purred with low seduction.

Dana nuzzled as her girlfriends fingertips moved down over her cheek, "You are, you always are. I love you." she grinned quietly lifting her hand up to stroke along the back of Alandra's neck urging her mouth towards her. Giving in to the quiet revetment of passion both women slipped into a slow indolent love making.

Retired together as the sun snuck through the shades of the window lover's limbs lay tangled. Dana roused slowly shifting sensuously with a long stretch. She reached out gathering Alandra's waist, burying her face into her lover's shoulder blades pressing her lips along her spine.

Alandra shifted writing into her girlfriend's warmth, "Good morning to you as well." She murmured and shuddered as Dana ran her teeth over her ear, breath warm against her flesh.

Turning Alandra slid her knee between Dana's legs, hands up into her hair as she fisted it to draw her mouth against her girlfriends. The moment the heat started to delved they were interrupted with a knock at the door. Dana rolled playfully to stop Alandra from rising and pressed her mouth to hers. "I'll get it."

"Get rid of them and get back here. I'm not done saying good morning." Alandra grinned and laid back, curled on her side, burying her face into her pillow.

Grabbing a short terry cloth robe Dana slid it around her shoulders tying it around her waist moving to the door. Tossing her hair over her shoulder she answered and her spine stiffened. "Uh..hello."

Dana recognized the woman from pictures with her dark hair gathered up into a neat bun. Even if she hadn't she would have recognized those cool green eyes. "Mrs. Ross, come in."

Her heart gave a loud thud in her chest, as she opened the door to her lover's mother. "Oh..thank you, I'm sorry I'm not sure who you are." Laura Ross glanced over the young woman who had Ireland in her voice, and looked as if she'd just rolled out of bed.

"Dana, McCollum." she offered her hand holding her robe together with the other.

The contact was brief and formal, "I wasn't aware Alandra had a roommate." Dana felt the woman's eyes skim down in judgment

"Dana, who is it-" Alandra's words trailed off as she stood in the door way frozen solid. "Mother."

"Do you usually sleep until eleven?" The tone of Laura's voice was very firm and lady of the manor speech.

Aware that her hair was a mess and the closest thing to clothing she had on was a T-shirt she dragged over her head as a last moment of thought she trembled unknowingly, "I worked late, come in, coffee...I'll get dressed, Dana?"

Watching her lover go from her fun filled self to something mannered and cold always gave Dana a small twinge of hurt. "I'll get it." Dana said moving into the kitchen a Alandra shuffled quickly to get dressed.

Laura stepped into the kitchen glancing over the counters, and what they had gotten too busy to clean up after dinner. "How do take your coffee?" Dana asked putting it on the pot as Laura sat down gathering her purse in her lap.

"Cream and two sugars." Laura's eyes never stopped wandering about the room, noting entryways that needed to be secured and pictures that weren't exactly in the best places.

Inside the room Alandra dragged her clothing on as quickly as she was able to manage. For God's sake her blood was still humming with the want of that beautiful body pressed against hers. Glancing towards the bed, she noted the pasta bowls, the picture of Dana and herself at the Golden Gate bridge. They'd found an older woman to take it of them, arms around each other, she felt the utter love that pulsed through her wildly.

Reaching over she snatched the pictures putting it in the drawer, something white catching her eyes. "Oh for Christ sakes." She reached down and picked up the toy they'd both enjoyed last night shoving it back into the closet.

On her way down the hall she stopped to drag down two more pictures that could cause a few unneeded questions from her mother. It felt almost shameful to turn them face down, to shove them in the darkness of a drawer.

Roommate Dana chided herself, that’s what she had to remain.

"How long have you been living with Alandra?" Laura asked in that swallowing demand.

Trying to ignore the crude frown she received Dana finished the coffee, "For a few months now." She hoped...even though she'd been with her girlfriend for at least two years, living with her for half that, but she'd never met her mother, made sure she was out of the house when Alandra's mother showed up, knowing nothing beyond perfection was accepted.

"She never mentioned you.” Laura said her fingertips against the counter when she decided it was clean enough to set her well manicured hands against.

"Well I-"

"Mother you didn't call I wasn't expecting you." Alandra appeared from the doorway transformed almost instantly her long dark hair pulled out of her face tan slacks and a modest blouse, glasses over her eyes that Dana was almost driven wild in seeing.

Laura's disposition seemed to be soothed at the site of her daughter back in proper attire, no longer the sight of a bed tousled harlot. "Yes well I was on my way through."

Moving into the kitchen Alandra was careful not to brush against her girlfriend, careful to keep any glance or sign of affection drawn far away. Taking the cup of coffee away from her, making it precisely, setting it in front of her mother. "Well you're always welcome here." She noted her mother's glance of disproval and drew her eyes up towards the other woman, "Dana...please.” she said making her purpose viable and straight.

It always shocked Dana to see how swiftly the woman she loved could change into something so unapproachable. She kept the hurt from her eyes and nodded moving back towards the bedroom. Leaning against the door she sighed rubbing a hand over her temple. She could play along, only because it meant everything to Alandra.

She noticed the picture missing almost right away, her favorite picture, and knew at that moment she was fighting a loosing battle.

"Why didn't you mention you we're living with someone?"

Coolly Alandra turned off the pot moving to tidy the kitchen. "It didn't seem very important, she had some trouble with her apartment so I offered her the spare room."

"For months?"

Swallowing Alandra let it pass her by, "She's a friend who needed help, and I don't mind the company." Cleaning swiftly and quickly with ruthless efficiency

"She pays rent?" Laura's voice was carefully strict.

With a sigh Alandra turned changing the subject, "I hope your ride wasn't too long."

She went the entire day without so much as a casual brush of hands. When her mother went to lie for a nap Alandra finally had a chance to do some laundry, the sheets of the bed. Unable to help herself she buried her face into the pillow case she drew in the scent of Dana's hair, smelling the jasmine of the shampoo.

"So predictable."

Feeling foolishly female, Alandra's head lifted to watch her lover lean against the doorway of the laundry room. "Saturday is laundry day." she finished putting the bedding into the washer machine. Wrapping her hand around Dana's Niner Jersey, her lips twitched.

"Mm...you found it." Dana slipped into the small room, closing the door behind her.

At the click of the handle Alandra's eyes raised dangerously, "Mhm." She glanced back down to put it into the washer. Dana licked her top lip moving to help handed her the soap, making sure her hand closed around her girlfriends. Alandra’s stomach tightened as heat balled with the contact, pulling away to continue her task.

Moving towards the dryer, Dana slid past Alandra's lithe form. In the small space it was impossible for bodies not to brush. Blood heated in a quick rush as they both stilled hips against each other, and Dana shoved the door closed with her foot. "You can't avoid me forever. Avoid this." Her hands slid down over her lover's hips watching her eyes darkened under the dark frames.

Alandra's breath caught in want, couldn't stop herself from pressing her mouth to her girlfriends. When Dana's tongue slid into her mouth Alandra pulled her against her. Fighting for sanity hands slid under clothing, gripping flesh. "Dana." Alandra murmured, shifting against her as she felt fingertips scrape over the outside of her panties, struggled not to cry out when they slid inside of her.

"Dana. No. We can't my mother's just out there."

In surrender Dana sighed hand pulling away, gaze dropping, "You know you're going to have to tell her sometime." Alandra stilled her hands grasping the washers edge her back to her lover. "It starts to become questionable when you haven't had a relationship with a man in years.”

"Keep your voice down."

Shaking her head incredulously Dana's hand curled around the door knob, tears welling, burning at the back of her throat. "When you're done being ashamed of who you are I'll be at Caleb’s." Turning she tucked out of the door

Shutting her eyes Alandra simply stood fighting as they brimmed with tears. Nothing was as easy as she had ever hoped it to be. It couldn't be as easy as Dana could possibly come to comprehend. She didn't have a mother, and her brother already knew her preference for women, for her.

Caleb knew better than to ask questions as his over-pushy little sister invaded his apartment for the night. "Don't ask." She retorted when his mouth opened dragging her coat from her shoulders.

"Wasn't planning on it." he grinned took it from her and pressed his lips to her cheek. "You come and go as you please."

She lifted a brow instantly moving towards his kitchen, attacking his fridge. Like his sister Caleb's hair was a dark brown, flashes of red drawn through it with light. At a couple of inches past six foot he was nearly an entire foot taller than his sister. He often teased her for it. "How's Alandra?"

Dana frowned glancing over her shoulder, "I told you not to ask."

"How was I suppose to know that's what's got you all ruffled?" He shrugged leaning his forearms on the counter, peering up over the kitchen as she searched the fridge. "You going to tell me then?"

She pressed her lips together, "Mm maybe...depends what you've got for me." she grinned, eyes flashing.

"Rocky road."

"Good answer." She tugged the freezer open finding the carton of ice cream and grabbing a spoon sat at the counter to tell her brother some of it, leaving gout the interesting parts.

She spent the night in his room, he'd dragged the couch out, muttering about it the entire time. "You know the couch isn't below me."

"Shut up and take the bed before I change me mind." He kicked his shoes off stretching out on the couch.

Dana smiled warmly. "I love you even if your face is funny." She kissed his forehead.

"Yeah yeah, suck up." they grinned at each other as Dana slipped off towards the bedroom.

Only barely falling asleep, Caleb was awaken by a tap at the door. "I've only got one damn sister." He muttered dragging himself up off the couch, bare chest glistening as a storm started to brew on the horizon. He wrenched the door open with a yawn, knowing already who waited on the other side.

"Hi." Like his sister Caleb was an awesome display of the human form, and he stirred most women as well as Dana managed to.

"Figured you'd be by." He opened the door to let her in, this woman his sister loved. It would be better to let them work it out themselves...and hell hath no fury like a woman, he figured and let it be.

She stepped into the darkness with a glance at the couch, Caleb gestured towards the back room and she turned slipping down the hall, shutting the door behind her, watched the form under the sheets. Pulling her coat from her shoulders she slid under the blankets, slipping her arms around the other woman's waist, setting her head against her shoulder. "I'm sorry."

Rousing quietly she already knew who it was just by the touch, "I don't want you to be sorry anymore." Turning Dana watched her lover's eyes in the darkness.

When Alandra didn't come out for a long moment Caleb cursed under his breath shifting on the couch. He wasn't getting any sleep that night...not when two women were busy...In his bed...God. Shoving the pillow over his head Caleb fought to get images out of his head, and the blood out of his lap.

"Why are you so late?" Laura asked as Alandra slid into the darkness of the room, dripping with rain, she could still smell Dana on her, the scent of flesh mingled in her head.

"I told you I'd be out tonight." Alandra murmured hoping it would be left at that.

"Oh yes. What was his name again?"

"Jason." Guilt wracked she dragged her coat off. "Mother. I'm tired...I'm just going to go to bed."

Dismissed so quickly Laura could only blink watched her only child slip back towards the bed room and frowned. She turned and marched back to the spare room she'd been using. Her baby was grown up, and what did it matter if she had a healthy relationship with a young lawyer. She knew her daughter would be well provided for with a good sturdy man like that, and she slept better knowing it.

Alandra stared at the clock for a full hour, watching as each number ticked slowly by. Restless she stood to jump in the shower, needing to wash herself of that lingering scent, knowing it didn't do much good because even the bed smelled of her, everything she touched or saw screamed Dana.

Twenty minutes seemed like an eternity as she tossed and rolled, the bed too empty for her liking picked up the phone. "Dana? I need you to come home."

Her voice sounded alarmed, "What? Are you alright?"

"No. I mean...yes...everything's fine...I need you." finally the truth surfaced, running a hand through her hair.

"Did your mother leave?"

"To Hell with her, this is my house...our house. And you belong here despite what she thinks." Finally glad she said it Dana agreed and Alandra paced along the room until Dana stepped through the door dripping wet with rain.

"Alandra..."

Emotion swelled glancing at the woman who she'd just made love to, and couldn't get enough of her. "Be with me...in our bed."

Possessive, Dana stepped to her willingly linking her fingers with her girlfriends, palm to palm. Her eyes sparkled gold in the moonlight, lightning ripping through the room, "I love you." she murmured quietly, fingertips flexing.

"And I love you more than anything, without you I can't exist, I can't be the person I want t o be when you aren't here. I don't want to be ashamed in loving you, I want you to know that you're everything to me." Words derived from the heart Alandra's voice was strong

Dana's eyes lit with love as she stepped towards her lover sliding her arms around her neck moved onto tiptoe to kiss her mouth with an achingly gentle caress. Driven on instinct and abandonment tongues tangled in a darkened embrace, Dana slowly stepped Alandra back towards the bed. "Mmm...Wait.." Alandra said pulling her head back lip captured and tugged on.

Alandra turned and caught Dana's waist pulling her down, herself sitting on the edge of the bed, setting her lover straddled on her waist. Dana's back faced Alandra, eyes blinking in confusion, set her head back and moaned when her girlfriends hands slid over her clothed thighs. "Open your eyes."

When Dana's dark eyes opened they started back at her reflection, the long, floor length mirror near the corner of the room directly in front of them. "Oh God."

Sliding her hands up over her girlfriends stomach Alandra pulled the shirt over her head. The wet material clung to her lover's skin as Alandra's own lips curled against the other woman's pale shoulder. Her long, tapered fingertips feathered over her girlfriends smaller form, pausing at the tiny bar in her navel, pressing her lips to the nape of Dana's neck in light repetition. She slid her hands up over Dana's breasts, cupping the warm flesh, the nipples hardening against the touch

Alandra's quiet assault continued as her hands moved over her lovers thighs, up the inside and against the seam of the wet jeans. Dana arched her back, head dropping back again as her eyes fluttered closed and found instantly that her girlfriends hands stilled. "Keep them open. I want you to watch yourself climb, and I want you to watch yourself fall."

Forcing her eyes open she bit onto her bottom lip, her face flushed in arousal. Her naked torso gleamed a brilliant white in the flash of lightning that erupted through the window. She watched Alandra's hands, the dark contrast of them against her skin as they moved to unhook the button of the jeans. She felt as well as saw her lover's fingertips brush against the tiny swatch of material between her and madness. Her hands tightened as she felt her girlfriends lips against her spine, shivers racing down the same spot. "Just take me." It was torture to keep her eyes open, watching the hands slide the jeans from her hips.

"No...I want you mindless and dripping before I do." Alandra answered sliding her fingertip up the dip only protected by wet cotton, the reason for it's damp state not entirely the rains doing.

"Alandra." Dana's system quaked eyes laden with want. "Please."

Undone by the plead Alandra hooked her fingertips into the material of Dana's underwear and pulled it from her pale legs, her own knees set between her lovers legs forcing them wide. Alandra watched her girlfriends eyes widen, then glaze over as she slid her fingertips deeply inside of the other woman. Dana arched against the concurring hand, her ears ringing with pleasure as she stared at the hands against her skin.

Alandra nibbled on her lover's shoulder, urging her girlfriends eyes to stay open, slowly stroking her fingers inside of her, withdrawing only to force them deeper each time. Dana's hips started to move with the rhythm her lover set, her hands moving onto her girlfriends arms, nails biting into the darker woman's flesh. Dana's wet hair clung to the dip in front of Alandra's half opened robe, her eyes nearly going blind soft cries emitting from her throat. "I can’t. Alandra I can't." Dana's words came out breathless, as she gripped almost violently to the edge of sanity.

"You can. Let go Dana just let go." With another furious stroke she felt her lover constrict around her fingertips eyes flying open only saw the reflection of her eyes locked with hers. Alandra's stomach tightened, heat snaking down between her own legs as Dana came in a long tumultuous arch..

Dana's head fell back against her girlfriends shoulder eyes closing at last as she trembled with the power of it. Alandra's lips feathered over the other woman's cheek and temple, biting at her mouth as her hand eased away. Waiting only a moment to turn Dana in her lap, her hips against her own, only the robe leaving a barrier between them. Alandra's fingertips lifted to her own lips, watching the darkened honey eyes of her lover's as she slowly licked the taste of her from her hand.

Leaning forward Dana pressed her mouth against Alandra's, fingertips between their mouths, and she could taste herself on the sweetness of her lovers lips. Pushing at her shoulder Dana led the other woman down onto the linen, legs still wrapped around her waist, feathering her lips over the curve of her girlfriends collar bone. Her hands slid down over her lovers sides discarding the robe to the floor with a quiet shuffle.

Limbs twined and mouths sought as they swallowed the midnight hours, the storm rising and falling with each new wave of pleasure given. Exhausted and sated lovers laid together in a twisted fury of sheets the comforter long finding the floor a safer home. Alandra's head sat on her girlfriends chest, ear pressed to listen to the beat of her heart, to the steady rise and fall of her breath and knew the instant she drifted to sleep.

Alandra's eyes drifted to her hand, twined and laced with Dana's, the new morning sun starting to play through the curtains. It left streaks of shadows across flesh, light against dark, dancing as the horizon started to ignight. Closing her eyes in content she slowly hummed, the harmony filling her head was that of no particular song. A song of her own heart and her own mine. Her eyes snapped open revelation in them sat up abruptly, though careful to keep her sleeping lover still dozing.

Watching Dana's features, relaxed in rest she could hear the music, wonderful and sad music that would fit. Excitement welled up and the fatigue rushed from her lithe form, slipping from the bed with no less than a kiss to Dana's forehead grabbed her robe and moved, indifferent to the time.

Dana woke to the quiet sound of music streaming through her head, paying it little attention by mistaking it as part of her lovely dream. Giving one long stretch, limbs shifting, stiff muscles shifting, almost feline in her movements. Eyes opening she was greeted by the warm glow of the sun through the shades, and much to her disproval an empty bed. The music came back through her ears, too alert now for it possibly to be a dream, slid from the bed as curiosity drew her.

No, it couldn't be...

She heard the piano come to a halt as she grabbed a pair of dappled gray sweatpants, sliding them over her slim hips. Dana had barely reached for her shirt as the bedroom door opened. Her eyes widened as horror skipped into her throat, knowing somewhere that we're Laura to walk in now...

Temperate green met burnished gold, all horror floating away as Alandra stood against the doorway, fully dressed now. The earpiece to her glasses hung in the collar of her shirt just at the dip of her breasts, her hair left hanging wildly down her shoulders. Dana shifted, unconsciously holding the shirt to her chest. "You've scared the bloody hell out of me."

Amusement flickered in Alandra's eyes, "Mmm and here I was hoping to wake you on this lovely Tuesday morning." She closed the door behind her quietly and walked across the room towards her lover.

"Is it Tuesday already?" Dana bit onto her bottom lip as her girlfriend slowly pulled the shirt from her grasp, letting her fingers open dolefully. She gave a valiant effort at stopping the quiver low in her stomach as Alandra's hand closed over her breast, and lost within the moment. "I’m already awake mo ghra."

Leaning forward Alandra bit down hard on Dana's lip tugging it into her mouth, her thumb flicking over the hardening nipple. Rewarded with a groan she pressed her body against the length of her lovers, "Are you? your eyes are still closed."

Dana forced her eyes open, a grin sliding over her pixie-like features as she let her lover take her back to bed.

Lax and feeling lazy Dana stretched out again, this time under the weight of her girlfriends form. "You're awfully...enthusiastic on this...what did you call it? 'Lovely Tuesday morning'." She ran her hands through her lovers hair staring up at the ceiling almost half dreaming.

Feeling the gentle tug at her locks Alandra's head lifted, but not before brushing her lips over the warm curve of Dana's breast. Sliding up she feathered her mouth lightly over her lovers and smiled brightly, "Get dressed." She slid from the bed, naked, with the exception of a dark navy blue sock, still clinging to her foot.

Dana grinned at it, charmed before she realized what Alandra had said. Confusion filled her eyes as she blinked, "Why?"

"‘Cause I said." The taller woman shuffled around the floor for clothing.

"But-" Cut off as a flying pair of sweats muffled her speech Dana blinked again ,deciding it was best not to argue.

With a light heart Alandra pulled enough clothes to cover everything lacking tan and reached over to grasp her girlfriends hand giving her a tug to her feet, "Come on."

“Where are we going?” Dana’s lips twitched as she followed willingly in towards the living room.

“ Found it, I finally found it.” She sat down at the large piano keys glistening ivory and ebony. Dana sat down beside her, curiosity sparked in her eyes as she heard her lovers deep breath, her long slim hands set to the keys. A slow, pulsing rhythm streamed from the piano, floating through out the room in melodious tune. The notes we’re light and purposeful, the music moved directly from the heart to fingertips to the ears and again to the heart.

Lifting her eyes to the messily scrawled notes and words on the paper in front of her lover Dana began to match the words to the harmony.

The words have been drained from this pencil.

Sweet words that I want to give you.

And I can’t sleep

I need to tell you goodnight.

Her heart swelled, the music fit so perfectly to each word, each syllable, and each articulation. Dana’s sultry voice moved through the room adding flavor to the piece, as the next bar came up.

When we’re together I’m perfect.

When I’m pulled away from you…

I fall apart.

Tears blurring her vision Alandra’s hands stayed steady with the gentle tempo. Already the next notes moved from her mind as if the song had been there all along

You know you’re all that I live for

You know I’d die just to hold you

Stay with you.

Somehow I’ll show you

That you are my

Night sky.

Unable to help herself Dana slid her hand over her girlfriends thigh. Green met gold and this time Alandra’s voice rose with the harmony.

Now that you love me

I love myself.

I never thought I would say that

I never thought there’d be you.

Dana set her head against her lover’s shoulder to listen to the last few bars, notes swallowing themselves to the end. Alandra’s hand slid over the other woman’s, fingers linking, that one moment they both we’re inevitable to the rest of the world. They found quiet serenity in the soft glow of the morning, each in nothing but a robe.

“Alandra--” Laura stepped into the room hearing the piano, eyes narrowing on the fact her daughters hand was linked with another woman’s. The first thoughts that passed Laura’s mind we’re in her opinion unpleasant ones, and she knew there was some explanation, “What’s going on here?”

Instantly sick to her stomach Alandra’s throat tightened, knowing the facts and signals we’re a bit clear to ignore. She stood, feeling Dana’s hand wrench away, “She was showing me her new tune.” Out of love she denied what her heart and mind screamed .

Laura seemed nearly satisfied with that, the flash of anger draining form her eyes. But Alandra couldn’t stomach the ache for the truth. “No…” her breath came out in a tremble, almost shakily.

“Alandra…” Dana started, eyes pleading, knowing grief would come with it.

Without any more words arising Alandra reached out and grasped Dana’s arm pulling her towards her. With both hands cupping her lovers face Alandra pressed her mouth to hers, the sound of her mother gasping drowned out by the sudden passion. Dana’s hands flexed on her girlfriends shoulders to keep from falling off balance. They loosened slowly as the kiss faded from fierce and desperate to adoring, and reassuring in a moment. Drawing strength from it Alandra pulled away her hands dropping, to face her wide eyed mother.

“Dana isn’t my roommate mother, she lives here, sleeps in my bedroom, in our bed. I’m in love with her.” Alandra’s chin lifted almost regally, her eyes distant and cold from years of practice were thawed by the kiss.

Laura’s face went from a pale white to an alarming red in anger. The older woman moved faster than her daughter gave her credit for and with an open hand drew it across Alandra’s face. Her head recoiled, automatically stepping in front of Dana as she sensed the tension. “You’ll go to Hell for saying such things.”

Alandra moved her jaw giving her mother credit for a good right hand, already the red print outlined across it. “And you--” When she lashed out at Dana, Alandra caught her wrist, not underestimating her speed this time.

“I’ll let you strike me, but you won’t ever lay a hand to her.” She released her mothers hand. “My choice to be with another woman is mine to make. I never expected you to accept it, but you will respect it.” Alandra’s eyes flared, burnished green as her mother took a step back at the tone.

Disgusted Laura’s lip curled, “You’re condemning yourself to burn.”

Amusement replaced where anger had once been in Alandra’s expression, “Then I might as well have a hell of a ride getting here.” She watched her enraged mother step from the house, the weight in her chest completely gone. Relief washed over her as she took a fleeting step back to sit on the piano bench., the instant she touched the smooth polished wood Dana was in front of her, cradling the back of her head gently.

“Are you alright?” she murmured in that lovely tilted voice of hers, thick with Ireland. Alandra simply nodded setting her forehead against her girlfriends stomach, wrapping her arms around her waist. Tentively stroking her fingertips through her lovers hair she pressed her lips against the top of Alandra’s head, “I’m proud of you.”

Lifting her eyes the other woman stared up at Dana with a loving gaze, “Lets go somewhere.”

Fingertips trailing down over her girlfriends cheek Dana returned the smile, eyes locked in patience, “Where would we go?”

Catching her lovers hands Alandra pressed her lips over the long fingers, and to her palm, “Anywhere. God anywhere, as long as it’s with you.”

Charmed with a sudden flash of love Dana slid her mouth down along Alandra’s searing it with a loving embrace. Her tongue slid along her lips, and against her own as she moved to straddled her lover’s waist. The key’s moved and groaned as Alandra’s back struck them, arms around Dana’s own back as she dragged her teeth along her bottom lip. Hunger twined with the pulsating love as Alandra turned and sat her girlfriend against the piano, rewarded with a loud ground of the keys. Standing, Alandra slid her hands up under Dana’s robe pulling it from her head to discard it onto the floor.

The action took Dana by surprise, knowing that at any moment someone could walk in or by the window and have a pretty damn good idea of what was going on. But the moment her girlfriends’ hands closed over her bare breasts she didn’t give a damn what ideas people got.

Moving out of grasp to pull her own robe off, Alandra set her hands into Dana’s hair tilting her head back to ravage her mouth and then her throat. The moan vibrated Alandra’s lips as her hands slid down over girlfriends hips, hot and naked against the key’s of the piano. Her skin glistened like the ivory of the keys, the black a striking contrast to the pale complexion. Grabbing her lover’s legs she locked them around her waist as she moved her head down to feast upon Dana’s breast, her hand closing over the heat between her legs.

Dana bucked under the sudden contact, lifting with Alandra’s hand as she felt her fingertips tease her, lips skimming over her nipple. She hissed out a breath as teeth clamped around the sensitive tip sucking and drawing it into her girlfriends mouth. “Alandra.”

Lifting her head, mouth stung red with kisses Alandra leaned against her lovers hips sliding a finger deeply inside of her, penetrating her. She watched the deep brown of Dana’s eyes glaze over like honey, lids laden with pleasure. She thrust her hips with each movement her hand made, finger tip withdrawing, slick with arousal, only to return to it’s place, two this time, buried deep. With each movement Dana made the key’s would trickle out some wicked harmony her legs parted as she felt Alandra’s mouth low on her stomach. Dana’s hands tightened sliding to her lover’s shoulders, feeling the muscles move and stretch with the strokes of her hand.

Alandra felt her girlfriends thighs tighten the instant she feathered her lips over the inside of her leg, where the torso met. Pressing her lips to her girlfriends more sensitive pair her fingers kept a constant rhythm. Setting her head back Dana felt the hungry mouth skim over her sex, tongue sliding along the folds, and around her swollen clit. Rearing up she felt hands clamp to her thighs, one wet with her own arousal, fingertips biting into tender flesh. Raging with the ferocity of all the ending seas she surrendered, arching against her lover’s mouth as the key’s groaned again.

Slowly Alandra’s tongue lapped at each taste moving back up over Dana’s smaller body, reaching out to link her arm around her back to pull her girlfriend against her. She held her as she quaked and trembled, knowing that the link couldn’t be broken, that the love felt was too much it was almost overwhelming
