Our tops had been tossed aside, our bra-clad breasts now crushed against each other as our lips continued their hungry domination.

I was in a swirl of emotions. I hadn't had sex of any kind for months now so I had both joy that this was finally happening and also a desperate need to finally satiate the fires that had been burning inside me since Joey and I had gotten back together.

The coolish air against her burning skin was doing Joey's head in. She had meant for their 'first' time to be special and romantic, yet after all this time apart, now that she had surrendered, it was beyond her control and so it seemed that frantic was to be the order of the day. When a hand cupped her breast, Joey gasped; she couldn't remember when her nipples had ever felt so erect and alive as they strained to burst from the lacey confines of her bra.

With Joey having been my only female lover, I was now being reminded of just how different and wonderful it could be with a woman. It was amazing to feel the hardened peak of Joey's nipple against the palm of my hand and the soft skin against my other hand as it trailed down her side, then slid ever so slowly across her belly and to the waistband of her pants, the button and zipper quickly taken care of. I nearly exploded right then when Joey did the same to me, before, as if by some unspoken agreement, we stopped what we were doing and started into each other's eyes.

"Don't stop," Joey whispered and it was all I needed.

I slid my hand inside her knickers. It felt like the liquid heat I found there would burn my hand as my fingers slid easily through the silky warmth. I moved my fingers around, found the hardened little bud from memory and gave it a gentle rub, knowing just how much Joey liked that.

"Oh god," Joey moaned, both at what her girlfriend's fingers were doing to her and what she was feeling against her own fingers as she pushed past the waistband of her girlfriend's knickers.

I wanted to hear those wonderful sounds of love from Joey again, so I rubbed her clit, a little harder this time. "Oh god," Joey moaned a little louder, much to my delight and then to my even greater delight, her finger found my clit and our moans of pleasure became one. She felt so unbelievably wet against my fingers and I could wait no longer; I needed to be inside her.

"Fuck," Joey cried out as she felt those strong fingers filling her. She allowed herself to enjoy the intense feeling for a little longer, before her hips started to thrust and she plunged her own fingers into her girlfriend's molten core.

"Yes," I shouted out and was thankful for the thick walls to my apartment as that shout had been loud enough to leave my own ears ringing. We both lost all control now and we became a groaning, gasping, thrusting machine, our hips and hands finding a fast rhythm as we each sort to reach the ultimate release.

God how I had missed this, not just sex, but sex with Joey and in no time, I felt the familiar tingling growing stronger. "Close," I gasped.

Joey only nodded, unable to speak. Her hips and fingers were becoming erratic the closer she came to climaxing.

Just a couple of more thrusts and the tingling became like an explosion of nerves between my legs. "Ahh, yes, yes," I screamed, my hips jerking all over the place as my orgasm threatened to overwhelm me. As it was, I felt like I was about to fly apart in absolute bliss at the sensations my body was feeling.

"Charlie!" Joey's cry quickly following mine.

"Wow," I murmured happily a short time later as we lay there entwined on the couch. My body was still thrumming from the intensity of my climax.

"Wow, indeed," Joey murmured back. Sex with Grace had been great, but it really didn't compare to what she felt when she was with Charlie. Charlie? Shit, she just realised what she'd screamed out. "Kate, I'm sorry for shouting out Charlie."

"Well, if my name had always been Kate, then I'd be mighty pissed at you for calling out another woman's name," I said jokingly. "But I have to say, since this was our first time since we got back together, it was kind of nice to hear that name again."

"Looks like I still need to practice more in calling you Kate though."

"How about we start to practice that in the bedroom?" I suggested with a wicked grin.


"Kate!" Joey cried out as her body thrashed from side to side on the bed in orgasm.

"Damn, only four orgasms for you to get it right," I moaned with mock sadness. "And here I was hoping that you'd need much more practice."

"That last one might have just been a fluke," Joey said in a slightly breathless voice. "Might need a few more times just to make sure I get it right all the time."

"I'm happy to oblige."

"I bet you are." She stretched like a cat and I felt my blood pressure soaring again. The affect she had on me was staggering at times. "Just let me catch my breath first."

I snuggled against her. Where our first coupling on the couch had been hard and fast, once we had gotten to the bedroom, we'd taken our time, each of us wanting to enjoy every sensual moment and it had proven to be one of the most pleasurable hours I'd ever spent. Her body was so soft, yet hard in the right places and I'd quickly become addicted to her nipples. I'd sucked on them, teased them with my teeth and tongue and I knew I could happily do that forever. Everything about making love to a woman like Joey appealed to me and it made me wonder how I ever could have been so cowardly as to have run from it.

I glanced down when I felt Joey's finger gliding over my skin. One thing was for certain; I was never running from this wonderful woman and the feelings she brought out in me again.

"It seems we both have scars, physical and emotional," Joey said, tracing a light finger over the puckered scar left by one of the bullets. She'd come so close to losing her forever, Joey thought.

"Yeah," I agreed. During our love making session, I'd noticed the pale scars under Joey's breasts and down her side that I hadn't noticed the times she'd stayed over and changed in front of me. Then again, during those times, I had made an effort to never look at her too intently in case I lost control. "But those scars have only made us both stronger," I told her.

"Your love makes me stronger," Joey murmured, moving over me and capturing my lips.

God how I loved those lips, especially for the other things they did to me. As if reading my mind, Joey began to kiss her way down my body. "Oh yeah," I moaned aloud when my left nipple was engulfed into the welcoming warmth of her mouth. As much as I loved the feel of Joey's hard nipples in my mouth, I was equally in love with having mine treated to the same exquisite pleasure. "Oh baby, that is so good," I gasped, my other nipple now sharing in the moment.

It was only with some disappointment that I felt her leave my breasts because her next destination promised so much more.

Joey was nestled between my legs now and my heart was beating with anticipation. It was hard to believe I'd already enjoyed the pleasure of her tongue within the last hour but it was as if I couldn't get enough.

"Always so wet for me," Joey whispered, the warmth of her breath against my sex making me wriggle as if she'd tickled me. Joey paused, taking a moment to breathe in the intoxicating scent of her lover; it was like a drug to her and it brought about memories of all the good times they'd spent in Leah's house.

"Please Joey," I begged, hooking my legs over her shoulders to open myself even wider to her.

"Fuck yeah," I panted when her lips found my clit. My hips bucked in time to the flick of her tongue. I nearly came right then when one finger, then another, pushed inside me and quickly found the same rhythm as her tongue. "Deeper," I panted. "Oh god, yes," I cried when Joey granted my request. I surrendered myself completely to the pleasure, my body bucking and my voice begging for more as Joey's lips, tongue and fingers took me higher.

"Joey!" I shouted as my body bowed with the intensity of my orgasm, then started bucking again, yet despite the erratic movements of my body, Joey never stopped; she kept sucking and thrusting, plunging her fingers deep inside me and it wasn't long before I was climbing to the peak again. "Oh my god, yes, yes," I repeated over and over before my body stiffened, then came alive with my next blazing climax.

"Enough," I gasped when my body finally settled back down to earth. My legs slid listlessly from her shoulders and I shuddered when she gently withdrew her fingers.

Joey moved back up beside me and pressed her lips softly to mine. I groaned as I tasted myself on her lips.

"I could never get enough of you," she whispered to me.

"Nor I you, but I need a breather."

She settled down next to me, resting her head on my shoulder and placed her hand on my tummy. "I hope we haven't kept him up all this time."

I chuckled and placed my hand over hers. "I think he's taking a nap to give us some privacy."

"You don't think a baby knows when his parents are doing it, do you?"

"God I hope not, because I want every night to be like this one."

"Ooh, I like the sound of that."

"And I like the sounds you make."

"So I noticed."

I chuckled again and held her tight.


Twenty minutes later, I heard the soft and even breathing that told me Joey had drifted off to sleep. It felt wonderful to have Joey back in my bed in every way but now that I had a moment to myself, I couldn't forget what she'd told me earlier and I wanted to make all her pain to have never happened.

"Mmh," Joey murmured in her sleep and I smiled at her sleeping form. She looked so peaceful and completely at ease and it was at that moment that I realised, that since Joey had moved on from her painful past and I have to say, I love the person she's become in that time, then I really should take her advice and let go of the guilt and pain and truly move on. I brushed an errant strand of hair from her face. And I have every reason in the world to move on lying right there beside me. With Joey by my side, I felt a surety about my future I never had before and though I still hoped desperately that Ruby would one day be a part of it, I'd been given a second chance that not a lot of people were offered and I intended to live this life to the fullest.

When Joey snuggled closer and I felt her nipples rubbing against me, I grinned. Oh yeah, I thought with a smirk, definitely two good reasons to live life to the fullest. And oh how those two reasons filled my mouth to the fullest and oh god, I could feel the wetness pooling between my legs again. I had no idea how I was going to survive these desires, but hell, what a pleasurable problem to have. I raised my hand, debating whether to quench those desires right at this moment or hold off.

Joey really did look so adorable and peaceful lying there, I thought and we do have the rest of our lives to quench our desires, I reasoned. But by god, I wanted her again.
