"Had you thought about this for a long time?" Ninny asked when they entered her room.

"Maybe. Looking at you I thought about a lot of things. You're beautiful, very kind, and I wanted to kiss you. My desire was strong, but I didn't want our start be too soon. Besides, I was afraid you didn't want anything more than friendship. After we kissed in the evening, I wanted more, but again, I didn't want to do next step at once."

"The result of our kisses left feeling of wonderful start, and we needed to repeat it. We had very pleasant time before breakfast. Do you think it's time to do a bit more, just a little bit?"

"I don't think it's a little bit, but it will be not much. In fact, it depends on what you want and how far you want to go."

"How far I want to go?" Ninny repeated Evelyn words, but it was a question addresses to her. "We'll know it after we start. Honestly, I don't know concretely where we decide to stop. It depends on both of us. I want each of us to be equal. No 'submissive and dominant', no 'top and bottom'. Here won't be one is a submissive bottom, and the other is a dominant top. We'll be taking turns." Ninny knew very well what she meant. It was obvious that she could be leading one, but she didn't want it.* "You wanted to celebrate the beginning of my vacation. It's not the beginning already, but we can do it now. Who cares? Vacation is free time when a person can do anything."

"Yes, love, I wanted to do something for you."

Ninny looked at Evelyn. She smiled before replying, "This is what I meant. I want you to be first."

"You really mean this? I can make next step?"

"Oh, Evelyn, please, don't be shy. It will be the present I'll remember forever." Ninny didn't want to say the second sentence. It happened against her will. She didn't want to share her fear that everything would end soon. She didn't want their friendship—that turned into relationship—to be one of countless summer romances that happen all over the world every year.

"I think 'little bit' means massage, but something must be different."

Ninny had two variants in her head. Either Evelyn meant different kind of massage, or they'll get rid of some clothes and repeat what they enjoyed earlier. The first variant required taking off some clothes too, but they would probably see not much of naked body. At least, unfortunately, they wouldn't see "something", but Ninny wanted to take a look at it and do anything she pleased.

Evelyn's decision was the second version. It was the only thought she had, and she wanted it to be real.

"Ninny, put your hands up."

The woman did as she was told, and Evelyn took off Ninny's T-shirt. Then she did the same with hers.

"Oooh, good," a comment followed, and then she said, "Ninny, before you lie in bed we need to take off something else, but not everything."

Explanations were unnecessarily. Ninny got rid of her bra at once, and Evelyn did the same.

During a few seconds they stood, staring at each other. Their facial expressions showed how much they loved what they were looking at.

Future excited them very strongly. Next step was going to be wonderful.

Evelyn didn't move while Ninny went to bed and lay down. When the woman was ready, it was time to act.

"Do you want me to massage you like we did before breakfast?"

At that time, Evelyn was faced Ninny. She put her hands and legs the way the older woman was in between.

Ninny said nothing. Instead of words, she drew Evelyn closer, so their breasts touched. It happened for the first time. They weren't dressed, but before they had clothes on.

"You wanted me to be first, yes?"

"Of course, but I wanted you to start right now. Let's say it was a hint."

"In this case, my words about things I'll be doing is a huge spoiler."

"No, nothing can spoil pleasure of you doing something to me; even if I know what to expect."

"Why do you think this massage will be exactly what we were doing before breakfast?"

Such a statement made Ninny want the start to be at that second. She didn't' have to wait long.

A couple of moments later, Evelyn covered Ninny's breasts by her hands.

It was impossible to relax under the circumstances. It was pleasure to see the effect of the start. Ninny was turned on very strongly. She couldn't keep calm. The only thing she could do—she wished for more. Continuation was what they both wanted.

"One step at a time," Evelyn reminded herself.

Her massage was hot. It was mix of tenderness with quick movements from time to time. The quick part was added deliberately. It depended on Ninny's reaction. When it seemed "I want more", Evelyn continued slowly. But after Ninny moaned, quick part was the best to make the woman lose control, even if the result lasted for short time.

Like two times before, neither of them wanted the process to end. Evelyn could continue for long time, but she wanted to receive her massage too.

Ninny needed to relax. However, her huge excitement changed to happiness, and she could talk. "How could you understand me so well? I can't believe you did it to tease me or make me moan louder. Either I wanted more or I needed you to slow down, your caresses were the opposite way towards my wishes."

"I tried. Have you liked my part?"

"Being unable to control myself can definitely be another version of 'yes'."

"Do you want my 'yes' soon?"

"Maybe not soon, love; I want us both enjoy the process as long as we want. It's my turn to celebrate your vacation."

As turned out, Ninny liked both parts—lying down, responding to caresses and caressing Evelyn. She decided to try the same method which was used for her. "Evelyn's reaction will be wonderful," she thought.

Ninny definitely knew what she was doing. She followed Evelyn completely. She didn't want to be cruel, but she wanted create Paradise for her dearest person.

They didn't think about time. But Ninny's part was longer. She spent at least ten minutes more than Evelyn.

"Well? . . I used your teasing and a bit cruel methods, but I wished you good only."

"I'm sorry for doing this to you, but I enjoyed everything. It felt like Paradise."

"It means my goal accomplished. I wanted this more than anything," Ninny replied, smiling when they were lying beside each other.

They were happy, and they wanted nothing else than staying in bed.

"What do you want, love?" Ninny asked soon.

"Let's continue what we're doing now."

"Agree. We'll be lying here until we're hungry. We'll be talking about everything we want. Here will be something else."

"Kisses from time to time, yes?" Ninny knew Evelyn's wishes very well. She knew their wishes.

"Of course."

Their near future was exactly as they wanted it to be.

The women spent most of day in bed except eating. It didn't seem for them as wasting time. They didn't make next step, but lying in the same bed was the thing they wanted the most. It was their first "together in bed" day, but it was far from last.

*Note: Ninny is an extrovert in the film and the book; she started talking to Evelyn.
