"Bernie, you know how I said this whole thing terrified me?"
"Yes…" The blonde woman looked up from the computer she'd been leaning over busying herself reading an email for the longest 30 seconds of her life.
"Well…" Serena stood up and slowly walked towards the other woman. "Yes I was scared, embarrassed and had so many thoughts and questions whirring around in my head but I was excited. Every time I saw you today I had butterflies like I was a teenager. You're correct that this probably isn't wise but…." She was close to Bernie now, she could hear the blonde woman's shallow breaths, her lips parted and eyes full of lust. Using all the self control she could muster Bernie stepped back only to find herself up against the office wall. Serena slowly leant in towards the other woman, she could smell the fruity aroma of wine on Bernie's lips and within a second she could taste it as their lips gently met. This wasn't a rushed, desperate affair like their first kiss. It was passionate, full of lust and desire but also reassuring. There was no longer any doubt about what they wanted.
Serena was desperately tugging at the buttons on Bernie's blouse while maintaining the kiss when Bernie finally broke it.
"Drinking on the hospital premises is one thing but copulation?!" Both women chuckled before the need was once against apparent in Serena's eyes.
"Where then?" she asked with sincerity.
"Are you su…?" The question was answered by another desperate, passionate kiss before Bernie had the chance to ask it. Serena couldn't bear to wait much longer. Every nerve ending in her body was firing in reaction to the blonde woman's touch.
"My place?" Bernie suggested when she managed to break the kiss again. Serena didn't need to be asked twice, quickly gathering her bag and coat and downing her wine before holding the door open for Bernie who couldn't help but laugh.
Bernie's flat was not what Serena had expected at all, modern, open plan and even fairly tidy, not that Serena saw very much of it on her whistle-stop tour to the bedroom. When they reached the room Bernie rushed inside turning a photo frame over and quickly hiding what looked like a dirty magazine.
"I didn't know you could still get them" Serena quipped with a knowing smile.
Knowing she was busted "the Internet isn't all that in Afghanistan and Iraq" replied Bernie with a blush spreading across her face. They both laughed at how preposterous their sudden shyness with each other was considering why they were there.
"We don't have to you know" Bernie offered as she took Serena's hand and shimmied up beside her placing a gentle kiss on her lips.
"I know, I want to. Show me."
Bernie gently lowered Serena down on to the bed and straddled her before bending down to find the brunette's lips once more. Guided by her pleading moans and fight to get any kind of friction between her legs Bernie slipped her hand between her lover's legs. She made eye contact, checking Serena was ok before continuing her onslaught on Serena's nervous system. Slowly they undressed each other, taking each other in and gently exploring their new territory. Neither of them wanted it to end but they were both desperate for release. Bernie was doing her best to disguise her need, not wanting to add any pressure to the situation but she needn't have worried. Serena was no pillow Princess. Flipping Bernie onto her back and taking control, working her to a frenzy, Bernie cried out and writhed in ecstasy.
"Wow!" Serena exclaimed, still panting as they repositioned themselves to lie side by side. "Was it good for you?" she asked Bernie nervously. The shyness in her voice made the blonde smile.
"It was perfect. You're incredible."
