The secret of Mako Island

This is my first piece of h2o fanfiction, in fact my first piece of fanfiction ever.

I only saw season 1 so far and read about the "relationship events" in season 2. Please forgive any inconsistency with the plot.

English is not my native language plus I am not a teenager anymore so please excuse any inconsistencies here as well.

This story contains EXPLICIT ADULT MATERIAL. If you don't like it or you are underage - don't even start reading!

Rikki reached down into the sticky wetness of her pants. As she found her own rythmn, she thought about scenes and situations that aroused her. She thought about Zane and how it had made her feel to be in bed with him. Quickly, she struck the thought from her mind. Zane had not made her feel all that good and thank God that chapter was closed. She tried to focus on images she had caught watching TV late at night; moaning women and men, blonde hair, small, oily breasts, a chest breathing heavily. Suddenly a face appeared in her mind's eye. Rikki gasped as she recognised the face. She tried to push the image from her mind, but it kept coming back to her. It was a face she knew well: lips, slightly parting for her, the tip of a pink tongue. She willed the vision away but it had already done the trick for her, pushed her too far. Her hand moved rapidly inside her shorts as she furiously worked her swollen clit. With her left hand she explored the deeper regions of her lust from the outside of the shorts. She reached down to her perinaeum, a region she just recently discovered to give her pleasure and pushed and pressed lightly. Stroking her clit faster and faster with her right, her left entered her ass. She pumped a little more and then felt the spasms originating from deep down inside of her as she exploded in pleasure. There was that face again, lustingly smiling at her through the bright light of her climax.

She pulled her hand out of her shorts and wiped them dry. Embarassed, she reminded herself that she must not think of this person while doing that. Her cheeks still burned and a part of her wanted to examine what she had just experienced when her cellphone rang. "Oh no" Rikki thought, then straightened up and answered.

"I'm not disturbing you, am I?" Emma asked slightly out of breath. Rikki muttered a short no into the speaker. She could hear a seagull in the distance at the other end of the line. Emma continued "Listen... "I just went for a walk and the ocean is so nice today and..." Was it the connection? Or what was wrong with Emma today? "I was wondering if you might want to come for a swim?"

"Oh, sure!" She could hear Emma smile through the phone.

"Great! Just meet me at the rock! Bye.."

"Ah, Emma, is Cleo coming? Shall I pick her up?" Another brief silence.

"Actually no. I didn't ask her. You know how she is about swimming lately". The prospect to be spending some time alone with Emma pleased Rikki.

"Right, you're right. I'm already on my way!" Cleo was indeed not very fond of swimming. In the beginning, before their transformation she had not been a good swimmer. Then she avoided the ocean because of the transformation. When she finally came to terms with their new existence, her on-off relationship with Lewis took up most of her freetime. Rikki and Emma went out to swim together often before they too had gotten caught up in boyfriend stuff, but now Rikki was glad she was single again and maybe she and Emma could go for swims regularly. Then her heart sank; she might have time but Emma had her own boyfriend. She pushed the thought away. She was so looking forward to seeing Emma, alone, now and she rushed to the rock.

Emma was waiting for her already. Rikki's heart skipped a beat and she smiled widely. They had hardly seen each other the previous weeks. This time, for some reason, she hoped that Emma would hug her hello. Indeed Emma got up to greet her. They smiled at each other and then there was a brief moment of hestiation. It's not like they never hugged before but suddenly it seemed like a very private thing to Rikki. She wasn't sure anymore if it was appropriate or not but she opened her arms ever so slightly. In response Emma did the same and in the fraction of a second Rikki decided to just go for it. Emma flung her arms around her shoulders and pushed warmly against her. Rikki's hand travelled arround her waist and her wrists crossed on Emma's back. Emma felt so warm and alive in her arms, yet so different from her ex who had always embraced her wanting, demanding, expecting something. Emma felt so good that Rikki didn't want to let her go and held her a little longer. She was so surprised about this feeling that she pulled back a little, then she immediately felt like leaning back into the embrace again but it was too late; Emma had already retreated as well and was beaming at her now. "It's so good to see you, Rikki."

"Yeah, I feel like I haven't seen you in ages".

Emma still looked at her and it made her narrow her eyes quickly. Rikki hardly understood herself and was wondering what the hell was going on as Emma saved the situation,
"Let's go for a swim!" They deposited their towels and housekeys in a half hollow rock by the shore and then stepped into the water. They had swum just about 10 meters as they began to transform. "Here we go again!"

Rikki laughed. Emma dived and she followed. A few meters down the surface the beautiful wonders of sealife began. Each and every time in the water was a revelation. They swam and dived and swam and dived, Emma took the route to Mako Island. Rikki saw a very rare yellow and black little flat fish and she wanted Emma to see as well. She reached out and touched Emma's tail. It felt so smooth, a little smoother than her own tail somehow. She lingered longer than necessary. Emma turned to her with a quizical expression. Rikki looked into her eyes, hand still on her tail and then slowly pointed out the fish. Emma smiled at her in silent understanding and they continued their way. It felt so good and comfortable to swim with Emma, to spend time with her again. She never had these kind of special moments with Cleo, or alone with her ex or another guy. Impulsively she reached out for Emma's hand and took it in hers. Emma didn't turn to look at her but answered by squeezing Rikki's hand a little. They swam past fish and anemonae and past a herd of wild dolphins, holding hands the entire way. It made Rikki's stomach flip. She had no idea what she was thinking, just grabbing Emma's hand like that. She wondered what Emma was thinking. What was going on? It felt good. It felt so very good that Rikki didn't even want to start rationalizing it too much.

When they reached the island, they swam up to the whitest beach and went so far up that they lay comfortably on the sand with their large fins resting in the water, facing the island. They were still holding hands. Rikki felt a little stupid now but didn't dare take her hand away.

"I missed our swims, Emma" she stumbled shyly. Emma nodded and breathed in heavily.

"Rikki, there's something I wanted to talk to you about."

Her heart skipped a beat and with bated breath she waited for Emma to continue. Her heartbeat was suddenly directly behind her ears. She let go of Emma's hand and in all that nervousness she flapped her fin and turned around on her back, as did Emma. Emma wouldn't speak up, so she said, "Yes?" in a funny voice that was not her own.

"You once said... you made a some remark... well, on the kind of things you're doing with, you know, Zane".

Oh. Zane. Rikki was disappointed.

"The kind of things I'm doing with Zane?"

"Come on, Rikki, you know... sex stuff."

Oh. Emma was clearly not herself today either, and it was nowhere near full moon.

"Em, we're not together anymore."

"Oh."

"I broke up with him a couple of weeks ago."

"Oh, Rikki, I am so sorry."

"No, don't be. He was kind of a jerk. And I am better off without him. No, seriously. I didn't want to tell you girls. You seem happy with your relationships. I guess I just didn't really feel so much for Zane. I didn't really love him."

"When did all this happen?"

"Emma, outside school we haven't seen much of one another for weeks. I guess a lot happened since you of all people ask me about sex!"

Emma looked down, blushing.

"So you think so, too."

"What? Think what? Em?"

"Well I guess my reputation precedes me then"

"Emma, I have no idea what you are talking about!"

"That I am conservative. No fun. That I am cold. A control freak. I can't let go and I am, well, frigid. That's at least what Ash said."

And with that she pulled up into a sitting position. Rikki couldn't believe her ears.

"He's an idiot!"

Emma's face was reddening now and tears were welling in her eyes. Rikki put an arm around her friend's shoulder. Emma looked at her. Out of anger about that idiot's comment she had reacted intuitively, like a friend. A normal friend. Emma was a normal friend after all, wasn't she? Now that Rikki felt Emma's soft shoulder in her palm she wasn't so sure anymore. She started stroking her shoulder ever so gently. Emma leaned towards her and they drew a little closer together. Rikki began feeling nervous again and that mixture of uptightness and too-wideness in her stomach returned.

What the hell was she thinking? Her best friend was devastated over something stupid her angry boyfriend had said and she was... well, what exactly was she? Rikki felt like she was taking advantage of Emma's hurt feelings in a way. Yet it felt too good to make her let go of Emma. She didn't take her arm away and she hardly dared to move.

"The thing is, I didn't even had a real crush on Ash in the first place"

"What?"

Pause.

"What are you talking about?"

"He wanted to do all this stuff with me, you know"

Emma stopped; maybe she was embarrassed? Rikki gave her an encouraging squeeze.

"When we would hang out he just wanted to lie in bed and touch me all over. And he so wanted to sleep with me..." Her voice trailed off. Rikki listened closely. She did enjoy sitting so close to Emma, although she didn't like what Emma told her. She felt a hot jolt of... was it jealousy? She managed a "So?"

"But I wouldn't let him. I didn't enjoy the way he touched me much. When I told him it went to far for me and that I didn't really want to do these things with him he got so mad and then he said that I am a frigid little bitch."

"Oh Emma, I am so sorry."

She pulled her yet a little closer. Just as she wondered if Emma was comfortable with that, she felt Emmas head on her shoulder. That made Rikki hold her breath. Emma slid her hand arround Rikki's waist. Rikki felt safer to not comment on their pose, but to just pretend that this was regular, usual, normal friend stuff. It was, after all, wasn't it?

"Can I tell you something, Rikki?"

"Sure, Em."

"Promise that you won't tell anybody?"

"Oh of course not!"

"Not even Cleo!"

"I won't tell a soul."

"When Ash asked me to date him I just said yes because I was curious. Not because I had a crush or something."

Rikki felt the air stirring beneath her. Were her powers out of control again? Or was it getting hotter? With a sharp intake of breath she said,

"That's actally how most people have their first experiences. Not because they are deeply in love, but because they are curious. It's nothing to be ashamed of."

Emma sighed right beside her.

"I mean, everybody has a boyfriend. Cleo. You. I just wanted to know what it feels like, I didn't want to be the last to..."

Rikki didn't feel like coaching her and Ash to successful dating, nevertheless she felt she ought to.

"Maybe next time it will be nicer. If Ash plays it slow for a while..."

"There won't be a next time. I told him to disappear of the face of the earth and that I never want to see him again."

"Hey! That's my girl!"

The words were out before Rikki could think them over. Now that she said something so excitedly as that she felt embarrassed again and blushed deeply.

"When I did things with Zane it was also not very... well, brilliant"

"Oh Rikki, you don't have to say that to console me. It's ok. Maybe Ash is right, maybe I am frigid."

"No way. I think you were not ready for this and he was not very subtle. Boys!"

She felt Emma nod at her shoulder. She hardly dared to look over to her. She just wished the two of them could sit like this a while longer. Then a thought crossed her mind. She shifted slightly. Did she really want to ask Emma something so personal? Indeed she wanted, but would she have the courage?

"You do know..." when the courage left her again.

"Ah, never mind..." Rikki trailed off.

Emma rocked her to both sides.

"What?"

Rikki swallowed hard. It was now or never.

"You do know what an orgasm is, right?" Knowing that Emma had not liked how Ash had touched her this question had some tricky implications. Emma drew in some air.

"Yeah, I do"

"So..."

Rikki giggled a little.

"So you're not frigid! Don't worry. Zane never got me anywhere near an orgasm. We just fumbled around and of course, he got off plenty. But for me he just didn't find the right buttons. I guess only I can...uh...make myself...uh..."

She stopped and cleared her throat.

"It's ok Rikki. I do that too. I think it's perfectly normal. Everybody does that."

They looked at each other sympathetically. Rikki felt a rush of confidence.

"When did you do it last?"

"Last night. Helps me fall asleep." Emma smiled a wide smile.

"You?"

"You know, this morning when you called I was just... done."

Emma flapped her tail and grinned.

"I knew it I knew it! I wanted to call you earlier but then I didn't because somehow I knew you were busy. And the way you sounded on the phone..."

She giggled. If only Emma knew what she had been thinking about right before her phone rang...

Emma sighed. "I think I have to get back". That made Rikki sigh too. Just as things had started to get interesting, she thought. Emma didn't seem happy as well "My mom wanted me to take care of some things in the garden. I have been procrastinating for ages and this time I can't get out of it. I promised I would do it today." With a heavy sigh and a shrug they parted and found their way back into the ocean. Rikki did not dare take Emma's hand again. Back at the beach they just briefly hugged each other goodbye and then went their separate ways.

That night Rikki was home alone. As she lay in bed she replayed the conversation at the beach again. It was almost as if she could feel Emma's soft skin again and smell her perfume mixed with the salty freedom of the ocean. She recalled how Emma had leaned against her. It was so familiar, yet new. She couldn't fully understand what was going on, and she felt that tugging in her stomach, only that it wasn't just her stomach. It went deeper. She slid her hand deeper and discovered that her panties were damp. She parted her lips and pressed her fingers into the wet. A loud moan escaped her. That face came up in her mind again. She had sworn she wouldn't think of her again, but she had to. It was Emma smiling at her, Emma grazing her back, Emma sitting close to her, her soft skin, wet from the ocean and powdered with salt and sand. She remembered her elegant motions fluid in the water, and suddenly the fantasy turned and Emma was no longer the innocent girl swimming through the water but the blonde sighing beneath her. She rocked back and forth in agony. Circling her clit faster and faster she pushed one finger down her pussy. She was moaning uncontrollably as she pictured how Emma might be doing the very same thing just now; Emma stretched out on her bed, reaching into her panties under the covers, touching herself. Emma's hand moving faster and faster, eyes closed, reddened checks, her head moving from side to side. Emma rubbing herself to orgasm. Rikki couldn't hold back any longer and the waves of her orgasm shattered over her.
