Chapter 5:Truth of Love

Glinda moaned and panted with the pleasure that filled her body like waves from a raging sea. Before, any aspect of sex had frightened her, and she thought of it as bruising and brutal. Now it was just the opposite. Giggling, she fought her way out from beneath Elphaba's strong limber body.

"Elphie, come on let's take this into the shower. Before anyone sees!"

Elphie's lips twisted into a genuine smile. Scooping the petite blonde into her capable arms, they headed towards the shower. Once in the bathroom, Elphaba undressed Glinda, rubbing her body gently. When the blonde, giggling returned the favor, it was all Elphie could so not to faint with the pleasure coursing through her veins. Then Elphaba scooped Glinda up again, holding her close as they waited for the water to heat. In her soft, lilting voice, Glinda began to sing.

"I said I wanna touch the earth

I wanna break it in my hands

I wanna grow something wild and unruly

I wanna sleep on the hard ground

In the comfort of your arms

On a pillow of bluebonnets

In a blanket made of stars

Oh it sounds so good to me

Cowgirl take me away

Fly this girl as high as you can

Into the wild blue

Set me free oh I pray

Closer to heaven above and

Closer to you closer to you

I wanna walk and not run

I wanna skip and not fall

I wanna look at the horizon

And not see a building standing tall

I wanna be the only one

For miles and miles

Except for maybe you

And your simple smile

Oh it sounds good to me

Yeah it sounds so good to me

Cowgirl take me away

Fly this girl as high as you can

Into the wild blue

Set me free oh I pray

Closer to heaven above and

Closer to you closer to you

I said I wanna touch the earth

I wanna break it in my hands

I wanna grow something wild and unruly

Oh it sounds so good to me

Cowgirl take me away

Fly this girl as high as you can

Into the wild blue

Set me free oh I pray

Closer to heaven above and

Closer to you closer to you

Closer to you

Cowgirl take me away

Closer to you"

When the song had finished, the two girls, united by their love, stepped into the shower

Under the soft rain that fell on them, the girls were calm and happy, just to be with one another. Elphie was protected by a sheen of oil, making her skin glisten in the softly dimmed lighting. Glinda, sucked one of the dark green nipples presented to her, delighting in the sweet milk it gave her.

Finally as the water turned cold they stepped out, wrapping themselves in a towel. Glinda sucked on a strand of Elphaba's hair, which tasted of spring, and smelled like fresh strawberries. It was then that she knew. She was in love.

Heading to bed, they curled up together once more, radiating not heat but love. The moonlight that night traced the delicate lines of a smile on both faces.
