Chapter Forty Seven

Charlie was enjoying herself too much to feel shy about the moans Joey was eliciting from her. Her whole body tingled as Joey expertly ran her fingers and lips over her skin. For the longest time, Charlie hadn't believed that she was even capable of a sexual relationship. As a younger teenager, when all her friends had been swooning over boys, not only had Charlie been aware that she liked girls, but she was terrified of any romantic interaction with anybody. Joey had changed her life in so many ways.

She gasped, her body jerking slightly when she felt Joey's lips brush against the top, inside of her thigh. Joey pulled back, searching Charlie's eyes.

"You can tell me to stop at any time," she said gently. "If you change your mind, I don't want to think I'd be annoyed. I don't want to do anything you don't want me to."

Charlie smiled affectionately at her, reaching out to take Joey's hand. Joey slipped back up the bed and nestled in her girlfriend's arms.

"I don't want you to stop," Charlie assured her. "You're driving me crazy."

She grinned but Joey frowned.

"Am I doing something wrong?" Joey asked worriedly.

Chuckling, Charlie surprised her by flipping her onto her back. She pinned her gently on the mattress and kissed her with breathtaking passion.

"You are not doing anything wrong," she said. "You're amazing. And I am so excited to be this close to you."

She smiled. Joey felt herself falling in love all over again. Gently guiding Charlie back into their former position, she kissed her tenderly before resuming her position between her legs. She smiled as she felt heat emanating from Charlie's body. She kissed her thighs, one at a time, coming back to run her tongue tentatively across her skin.

Charlie shivered at Joey's touch. She could hardly believe that she was actually about to lose her virginity – and that it really was going to be with the person she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. She trembled as Joey ran one finger between her legs, over the thin fabric of her one remaining item of clothing. Without needing to check if it was okay, Joey reached out to remove Charlie's underwear. She sat back a little, not quite able to resist gazing at her for a moment.

Charlie held her breath, aware of being under her girlfriend's gaze. She sucked in her tummy and hoped that her grooming in preparation for the big night was something Joey found appealing. She let her breath out slowly when she saw the smile on Joey's face. Coming closer, Joey kissed her lips tenderly.

"You are the most beautiful woman in the world," she declared.

Charlie blushed slightly in the dim lighting.

"I hope I'm worth the wait," she said shyly.

Joey kissed her again.

"More than worth it," she said.

Slipping back down to Charlie's waist, Joey didn't hesitate before kissing her warm centre. She stroked her most sensitive place with one finger, inhaling her scent. Moving closer, Joey kissed her tenderly, immediately allowing her tongue to come out and play. She momentarily thought about all the pain her darling girlfriend had been through, pain that had made her terrified of intimacy on a both a physical and emotional level. Joey hoped that she too would be worth the wait. She hoped she would be good enough, that she would be able to help Charlie heal. She loved her and she wanted to be the best that she could be.

Taking a deep breath of her own, Joey focussed on offer all the pleasure that she possible could. She kept her movements gentle and smiled as she felt Charlie writhe beneath her.

Charlie rested her head back against the pillow and closed her eyes, savouring Joey's every tender touch. She cried out as every sensation became more and more intense. Privately, she had worried that she might not be able to relax enough to reach the height of orgasm that she knew Joey would want to provide. She was a highly strung kind of girl who always did everything she could to keep control of her emotions. For so long, completely letting go had never been an option. But right here, in the moment with Joey, she felt like she was in the safest place in the world. Without even needing to try, she gave in to the wonder of Joey's mouth.

Crying out, Charlie forgot to care to climax quietly. She gasped and shuddered as wave after wave of pure ecstasy cascaded over her body and her soul. When she finally calmed down, she smiled as Joey gently kissed her way back up to her lips.

"Well, it was most definitely worth the wait as far as I'm concerned," she gasped.

"I'm in wholehearted agreement," Joey replied.

Next time… Charlie and Joey's night together reaches its conclusion…
