Hi everyone! I'm happy to be back with the second to last chapter of The Charmed Path to the Emerald City. I think you guys will enjoy this one. I'm not quite sure when I'll be able to post the next one but I'll try to make it as soon as possible.
Enjoy!
The two lovers left the library arm in arm. Glinda rested her head slightly on a black clad shoulder. Elphaba turned and kissed the golden curls with a contented sigh.
"We have to find an inn," Elphaba said. "One we can afford."
They walked down a street only a few blocks away from the emerald palace of the Wizard. The two girls came upon an old creaking jade house with a sign that hung over the door: INN & Pub. She pulled Glinda toward it and held the door open for her. The inside wasn't much better.
The painting on the wall didn't hang straight, the red velvet carpet was ripped and faded and the entire wood paneling was covered with dust. Glinda sneezed covering her mouth so she wouldn't offend anyone—not that there was anyone to offend—and so that no more dust could cloud her nostrils. Elphaba gave her a crooked smile and went to get them a room.
Once she had the key in hand Elphaba led Glinda up the groaning staircase to their room. This room was the best they had ever stayed in. The bed lay beneath a large window that overlooked a few nightclubs and tall green towers and just above that you could see the glowing emerald of the palace. Glinda giggled and sat on the bed looking out the window. This bed was plusher and a little bigger then they're other beds but the sheets were tattered and a little dusty.
Elphaba sat down in the wicker chair in the corner of the room, allowing herself a short rest. Outside the sun was close to setting beginning to change to a golden orange and turned the sky purple.
"I'm going to freshen up," Glinda said taking her bags into the small bathroom.
"Be quick. The sun is about to set and we must go see the Wizard," Elphaba told her as she leaned her head back against the wall.
Elphaba was terrified of seeing the wizard. Of course she would never admit that, but she could feel it welling up in her chest. But the thought of all the Animals without jobs and homes made that fear seem to disappear. The Wizard had nothing that Elphaba could not handle. I will do it, Elphaba told herself.
15 minutes after Glinda had disappeared into the bathroom Elphie decided to call for her. "Glinda."
"Glinda?"
"Glinda! Come on! You have had plenty of time to freshen up. Glin—" Elphaba was interrupted by Glinda's figure in the bathroom doorway.
Glinda had put on her new red dress and had reapplied make up to her cheeks and eyes. Her hair was pulled back into a loose bun with a white flowered comb that perfectly matched her dress. The blonde looked up shyly into Elphaba's brown eyes.
Elphaba looked Glinda head to toe; her gaze lingering in some places until her eyes finally met Glinda's. Elphaba knew that there was no other sight like this. Like Glinda.
Unfortunately what she was thinking isn't necessarily what came out of her mouth, "Why…" she let the question wander.
"I… I wanted to feel pretty," Glinda, said softly.
The green girl walked to her and took her porcelain hands in her own green ones. "You are always beautiful," Elphaba whispered to her bringing the soft fingers to her lips.
She placed a hand over Glinda's pale cheek so that their eyes met. Elphaba gave her a small smile and brought her face closer to Glinda's and Glinda met her half way. It was one of their more gentle kisses but had a hidden passion that neither girl had ever felt. They pulled apart and lay their foreheads together while Elphaba lazy rubbed her thumb over the soft skin of Glinda's cheek.
"We have to go…" Elphaba whispered grazing her lips lightly over pink ones.
"Do we? Can't we stay in? I want to spend time with you," Glinda whispered softly kissing Elphie.
Elphaba pulled away a little her shoulders stiffened. She looked out the window toward the Emerald Palace. It was the place where her life would change. She was going to be able to make Oz better. She thought that this palace would be the most beautiful thing she would ever see in her life but it wasn't nearly as beautiful as Glinda…
"The Wizard can wait," Elphaba said to Glinda and wrapped her arms around Glinda's waist and kissed her lips.
Glinda smiled into her kiss and put her arms around Elphaba's neck putting one hand in those ebony tresses. Elphie allowed her hands to roam over Glinda's silk covered curves giving a slight moan at the feel. Feeling bolder Elphaba pulled away from Glinda and looked at her chest and tantalizingly pushed the straps of the dress off her shoulders. The dress slid down her body and pooled around her feet. Then she reached her hand behind and pulled out the ivory comb allowing Glinda's golden locks to fall to her shoulders. She put her arms around the blonde and continued kissing her.
The blonde groaned as long fingers traveled over her back and she began yanking at the buttons of Elphaba's frock. She slipped it past green shoulders then pulled the green girls tank top over her head leaving Elphie's torso bare. Her fingers then hooked into Elphie's skirt and she pulled them down leaving her as naked as Glinda. Pink lips placed light kisses on Elphie's green shoulder before she moved up to kiss her forehead, her eyelids, and her lips.
"You carry so much weight Elphie," Glinda whispered into her lover's ear. "Please… let me help you."
The green girl had never heard Glinda speak so maturely before. Those words sounded so foreign on Glinda's lips. But they also sounded so right. Elphaba laid her head on Glinda's pale shoulder and smelled the scent of her shampoo. Lilies… and a small hint of lavender. Elphie pressed her nose a little deeper into Glinda's neck.
Glinda lead her lover to the bed and gently brought her down onto the bed so that she lay on top. The blonde looked up at her lover giving her a lazy smile then grazed her lips over green ones. She then kissed her lover's forehead and allowed her to lay it on her pale chest.
Both of the girls were breathing hard though they had barely even begun to touch. Elphaba was listening to Glinda's heartbeat while Glinda continued to press reassuring kisses on her forehead. Then Elphaba began kissing Glinda's chest grazing her lips over pink nipples so that they would become hard. Glinda groaned and felt a pressure began to build between her legs. She pulled Elphaba up roughly and pressed their lips together. Their tongues entangled and darted in and out of each other's mouths before Glinda bit down on Elphie's lower lip. The dark haired woman gave a growl of pleasure as Glinda shoved Elphaba to the side and pulled herself up so that she lay on top of her lover.
Glinda repeated what Elphie had done to her. She kissed her green chest and her breast just teasingly brushing her nipple before moving on. She traveled up Elphaba's neck taking a piece of emerald skin into mouth and sucking hard. Her hands cupped and massaged Elphie's small breasts as she sucked on her sensitive earlobe.
Elphaba wasn't sure she could survive under Glinda's onslaught. Her legs were already quivering and the tingling between her legs had become an insistent pressure. She decided to turn the tables and forced Glinda upward so that she sat in her lap. Glinda giggled and kissed her lover wrapping her arms around Elphie's neck. Elphaba used both hands to cup Glinda's buttock and pulled her closer causing their sexes to press together.
They both gasped. Their breath mingled together as they stared at one another. Glinda smiled and pressed her hips against Elphaba's causing another wave of sensation in her sex. Then the two lovers began to move their hips in a single motion as they kissed each other over and over.
By now the sun had gone down and it was hours into the night. Outside the clubs were being opened to the public. They played loud music and displayed their signs with bright emerald lights. Inside as the lover's continued their erotic dance Elphaba opened her eyes so that she might see Glinda in her ecstasy. And what she saw was something she would never forget. Glinda was as green as Elphaba. Her pale skin now shone with the bright lights of the Emerald City and for this moment in time they were the same.
"Glinda… Open your eyes," Elphaba said through her gasps of breath.
Glinda opened her blue eyes and saw how her body had changed colors. She looked at Elphaba and thought what a sight they must look. A blonde green skinned woman making love to a dark haired green woman. Her green lips met Elphaba's green lips in the most passionate kiss any person had ever shared. And with a few more swing of their hips their climaxes washed over them.
The two lovers could feel as the other exploded in orgasm and their juices met. Elphaba pushed Glinda onto the bed and kissed her as their hips continued to meet. Glinda could feel that she was taking in everything that was Elphaba into her own body. The very thought made her call out Elphaba's name and pull her closer. They lay together in the passions of their lovemaking trying to catch their breath. Elphaba kissed her lover's chest then moved up kissing her neck. She looked into her lover's blue eyes.
"I love you," Elphaba whispered into Glinda's ear.
The blonde wasn't sure she heard right. Elphaba told her she loved her. She had said it. Those words that seemed forbidden and Elphaba had said them. Tears filled her eyes and spilled over onto her cheeks. Using the blanket Elphaba wiped the tears away and kissed the trails they had left on Glinda's pale cheek. She whispered it over to Glinda kissing her sweetly.
"Oh Elphie," Glinda said between more tears. "I love you… I love you!"
Glinda kissed Elphaba then continued to make love to her. And they made love all night until the stars were gone and the sun was rising. And just before they fell asleep they both whispered, "I love you."
* * * * * *
It was midday when Glinda woke. Both she and Elphaba were tangled up in the sheets. And each other. Glinda smiled lazily resting her head in the palm of her hand as she stared at a sleeping Elphaba.
"My Elphie," she whispered. Elphaba was hers now and she was Elphaba's. She felt so full of love she thought she might die. She moved closer to Elphaba and brushed her lips over Elphie's emerald skin before brushing her lips. She kissed across Elphaba's cheek whispering into her ear, "Elphie… wake up love."
Glinda could see her lover stirring slightly. "Elphie wake up," she repeated before deciding to take a different course of action.
She brushed Elphaba's lips again then pressed a little harder. When she felt Elphaba's lips respond she smiled. Elphaba's hands went up and down Glinda's back before she finally wrapped them around her waist.
"Morning my love," Elphaba whispered.
"Mmmm… Morning," Glinda groaned back. Elphaba glanced out the window looking at the place of the sun. She jolted awake then pushing Glinda upward and off of her.
"We have to go see the Wizard," Elphaba said tossing the blankets off of her beginning to put her clothes on. Glinda sighed. But she couldn't be made at Elphie. Once business was brought up it was all Elphaba could think about and Glinda understood that.
She got out of their warm bed and put her clothes on. The two girls gathered their belongings making sure they had everything. Glinda primped and freshened up for today's proceedings while Elphaba say anxiously in a chair waiting. Once she was done they left the inn and walked down the street in the direction of the palace.
"We're off to see the Wizard," Glinda said as she hooked her arm through Elphaba's.
Elphaba didn't reply. She merely kept her eyes forward and focused on the task at hand.
