Scene Three

Sally Ann Howe's dimly functioning eyes sensed that she was in a bedroom that was softly feminine but it wasn't her lonely room. She was vaguely aware that she was lying on her side and that her skin was unencumbered by any material. That wasn't usual for her but the thought surprisingly pleased her normally tidy minded nature. A wide smile spread across her face as her fingers traced a pattern on the smooth soft skin of another woman's back and her eyelids parted wide to look over the smooth shoulder and reveal the long blonde hair and delicately carved face of the woman next to her. She couldn't believe her good fortune that she should enjoy such an impossibly intimate moment. In her life, she had only mentally confided her dreams and desires to her pillow during too many lonely nights on her own and were dissolved away by the daylight and company the next day. She had always desired Trisha, if truth be known, from the first time that accident caused her to first set eyes on her.

Memories started to return to Sally of the night before. The music of the club had been in her ears as she had climbed up the staircase in Trisha's flat. All her fears and inhibitions had been banished and her senses of pleasure had been heightened as she had found herself in Trisha's very feminine looking bedroom. She had kissed Trisha passionately and deeply before drawing slightly apart, gazing in adoration at the other woman so close to her. An inviting smile had been spread across her face and her blue eyes had never left Sally's.

"I can't believe I'm here with you….darling," she had spoken slightly shakily as if the word of endearment to another woman didn't come easy on first try.

"You'll believe it, babes, when we're between the sheets. I want you so much, Sally."

Those practiced fingers had slipped Sally's suit jacket from off her shoulders who copied her and had followed every move she made. Sally's eyes had been wide open as that slim figure came into full view and slid over her as she lay back in that sweet smelling bed. This was unexpected heaven as the other woman had been so very gentle and tender in the way that her lips and fingers caressed her neck and shoulders and tasted her body. She had fallen in love with the texture of Trisha's smooth body next to her and her own fingers had slid along the other woman's back. This was heaven. This was like nothing she had ever encountered before. She had realized now that what had been holding them back was the clothes they'd both been wearing and wondered why she hadn't thought of that before. Her body had started to move rhythmically and she cried out ecstatically as her nipples were delicately caressed. She had known all along that Trisha must be expert in lovemaking as much as sexual confidence had exuded from her but she hadn't been prepared for such consideration. As Trisha's hand had slid down to her belly, she had known what was to come- indeed, she had fantasized this scene. This hadn't stopped her flinching slightly.

"Relax, babes." Trisha had murmured." I just want you to feel good about yourself again."

Sally had lain back and gently stroked Trisha's cheek and the tension had flowed out of her body. Trisha had smiled knowingly and had moved her hand lower down. A huge feeling of relief had run through Sally as this fair-haired vision hadn't being in the slightest way impatient but had slowly and gently caressed her. It had told her that the time was hers to choose. She had reached up, planted little kisses on the other woman's neck and had run her fingers through her long hair. She had been incredibly grateful and moisture had run from her for this generous lover of hers.

"Are you ready babes?"

"I want you inside me, darling. I know everything will be fine," she had whispered

Smiling, Trisha had gently slid her two fingers into the other woman and had gently pushed down on her. She had cried out in pleasure and astonishment that another human being could have given her that first feeling of sexual pleasure and it was hers. In no time at all, she had got into the rhythm that Trisha generated, her face hanging over her as surely and confidently, she had drawn Sally upwards to a hugely satisfying climax that had left her gasping and spent. They had lain down side by side, their arms wrapped around each other, drinking in the faint perfume from each other's bodies.

"You're amazing Trisha. Now I know what I've been missing out on for all these years. I love you," she had whispered in total adoration.

"You're not the first woman who's ever said that. When you think about it, making love to another woman is easier than you think," she had laughed invitingly.

Sally Anne had got the message. It had been her turn to give pleasure to Trisha. The prospect of that had entranced her as their bodies had adjusted so that she had looked down in the half-light at the woman she desired. Her long blond hair had streamed across the pillow and her soft lips had been slightly parted. A faint breath of wind had wafted through the window and breathed on her naked back. At this moment, she had all the confidence in the world as desire had driven her to kiss the blond haired woman full on and her tongue to express all her desires. She had known that her lover would cry out with desire, as she had tasted that slim, small-breasted woman who was everything she could want.

It was the morning and she had absolutely no regrets. What had happened in the past the night before was absolutely real and was no illusion that would fade away in the daylight. The bedroom was exactly the same as last night only it was daylight. All that was different was that she was sleepy, having made love half the night. Her love for another woman was right out in the open and her life was transformed. She only wished that Trisha would turn over and they could embrace each other. In the meantime, she planted a series of delicate kisses on that soft, smooth skin. It drew a murmur in reply.

"Give me a little while to wake up, babes. I never knew that you were going to be such an insatiable and hungry lover."

"Is that a good thing or a bad thing, darling?"

"Definitely good," murmured Trisha as she slithered over and, to Sally's delight, the soft breasts and nipples came into view." Let's have a cuddle and lie down for the moment."

They wrapped their arms round each other and Sally exulted in the feel of soft skin against skin and the sleepy way they gently kissed. Trisha's lips were as soft as she had remembered last night. Even while Trisha appeared to be drowsy, some instinct made her fingers draw a sleepy trail on Sally's collarbone and slide down to her breasts. Her body gently pressed itself against Sally's who wrapped one leg round Trisha's. The blue eyes the other side of the pillow slightly parted and a murmurous sound escaped her shapely lips as they pressed themselves against Sally's.

"Still not regretting last night, Sally? Some do, you know."

"I loved every minute of it, darling," Sally's soft voice answered with a thrilled ecstatic undertone to it.

"So I look good in the daylight?" Trisha answered, letting her arm drop to her side. Despite her lack of sleep, desires built up in Sally that she had never felt before that early in the morning. That sleek body looked as desirable in the morning as it had last night.

"Just you let me show you how much I want you," came that most certain answer, laden with all the desire in the world.

The surprised and gratified Trisha lay back, her arms outstretched and she stared upwards at the dark haired woman. Naked, she was every bit as desirable as she had always promised to be even when they were so called friends. Similarly, her tight constrained manner and her tight, two-piece suit had not deceived Trisha and this was proved to the hilt as these had all been thrown to one side in a careless pile. Now that she had loosened up, Trisha could see qualities in her that Sally never knew in herself until today. She was taller and bigger and her large breasts made her desirable. Her long curly hair hung loosely over her shoulders and made her look strangely virginal. It touched Trisha to witness the newfound dimension open up in Sally's life. All this was new to her while, by contrast, there had been many woman who had shared Trisha's bed. As a whole souled smile spread across Sally's face, these depressive thoughts were banished when she recalled those unexpected talents following last night's crash course in lesbian love making. Trisha's desires rise up in her as she knew above all else that the centre of Sally's desires lay between her own already parted thighs and that the dark haired woman would soon be tasting her juices.

Hours later, as Trisha's heartbeat settled down to normal, she reflected how delightfully and unexpectedly her life had changed for the better in the last few days. She had done her bit in finally laying to rest the mixture of trauma, separation and guilt that Nikki's imprisonment had haunted her with. Nikki had finally come back to her life in the curiously stable and angst free situation of friend helped by her very remarkable and astute girlfriend. Best of all, she had a new lover in her life. That thought caused feelings of tenderness to well up in Trisha and she drew the dark haired woman next to her bosom, cradling her in her arms.

"There's one question I was going to ask you, Trisha and that is, there is a future for us? This isn't just one night, …is it?"

Trisha's lips parted in a smile at this question, put so tremulously. She owed it to reassure this woman who was so clearly in love for the first time.

"Of course, babes. Love you always."

"Then everything's all right then," came the simple reply." I mean, this is so fantastic, so much better than anything I've ever experienced before."

"You mean with men?"

"Yeah," sighed Sally as her memory swept over collected memories, not wanting to linger more than necessary." Where I came from, there was never any idea there was anything else. My teens weren't very happy and when I got into the police force it got twenty times worse. Let's say we were expected to be easy meat, especially……"

"There there, babes. Let's forget about the past," that soothing voice soothed and caressed her as much as her touch from somewhere up above her. Sally snuggled up against that soft warm skin which felt very natural to her and she ran her fingers through the long blond hair. She calmed down and relaxed as all this felt very real to her. The past could fade away where it belonged, especially Gossard, her worst and most tenacious nightmare that had held her life back and had emotionally crippled her. She had that glimpse of the future with nothing holding her back.

"Yeah, you're right."

"Well, it's different. You've got me now," that clear speaking voice articulated with a note of optimism. She needed Sally to drive away those 'single girl blues' that depressed her from time to time, that no relationship in her life had ever lasted. Perhaps this time it will be different, she hoped. The sexual ecstasy of last night and this morning helped keep her spirits up in the precious interludes from the rigours of running her club.
