Chapter Forty Eight
It was several minutes later before Charlie succeeded in regulating her breathing. She warned herself not to relax too much. The last thing she wanted to do was fall asleep or something and not return the love that Joey had offered her tonight. This was most definitely shaping up to be the best birthday she had ever had. And now that she and Joey had made love once, Charlie was excited to do it again and again.
Lying in her girlfriend's arms, Charlie felt like the luckiest woman in the world. She shifted a little and gazed into Joey's eyes, tingling every time Joey ran gentle fingers up and down her arm.
"That was so amazing," she breathed.
Joey offered a particularly cheeky grin.
"I aim to please!" she said.
Charlie chuckled and kissed her softly on the lips.
"You succeed," she told her. "You definitely succeed."
Joey frowned when she saw Charlie look suddenly worried.
"What's the matter?" she asked, instantly worried that Charlie might have suddenly have regrets.
"I'm not going to be that... good," she ventured. "I mean, you've done all of this before and I haven't and although I've had many a graphic dream about the kind of thing I'd like to do to you... I don't know if it's going to be... okay."
Joey smirked at her.
"Graphic dreams, hey?" she teased.
Even in the now dark room, Joey knew Charlie was blushing.
"Kind of," she admitted shyly.
"Well, you know I've had sex with girls before," Joey ventured.
Charlie nodded anxiously.
"But this is the first time I've ever made love with someone," Joey said. "So tonight feels like my first time in a lot of ways too. So, please don't panic. To be honest, just being here with you like this is a thrill for me. I don't think I've ever been so happy before. If you don't want to go any further..."
"I do," Charlie interrupted. "I'm just worried that you're going to stop me and say something like 'what the fuck are you doing'!"
She giggled shyly. Joey kissed the tip of her nose.
"No matter what, I promise not to say that," she said sincerely. "I love you. And I have every confidence that tonight is going to continue to be absolutely perfect."
She smiled affectionately. They kissed again before Charlie shifted, ready to start what she hoped would be a pleasurable experience, especially for Joey.
She kissed her lips several time before moving lower down her almost naked body. She kissed her neck, shoulder, collarbone and the hollow of her throat. She ran her finger tips over Joey's perfect breasts, teasing her nipples.
Joey sucked in her breath as she felt Charlie's tongue replace her hands. So far, Charlie had nothing to worry about. Charlie kissed her tenderly, running her tongue along her warm skin. She savoured every taste and sensation as she worked her way down Joey's body. She kissed her tummy and paused when she reached the top of her underwear.
She glanced briefly back up at Joey who had her eyes closed and a happy smile on the face. Encouraged, Charlie slipped Joey's underwear down, laying her bare. She took a moment to gaze at her body, smiling as her heart pounded at the thought of being so intimate with her.
Lowering herself down to meet her, Charlie kissed Joey's centre softly, making her gasp. Bracing herself and hoping she wasn't going to get anything terribly wrong, Charlie slipped first one, then two digits gently inside her. Joey moaned as she built up a rhythm. She moaned louder as, still penetrating her, Charlie flicked her tongue across her clitoris. Taking the noises as encouragement, Charlie ploughed on, taking her time and savouring every moment as she drove her lover to climax.
A short while later, Charlie and Joey lay, rather exhausted in each other's arms. They held each other close, kissing and idly stroking their fingers over each other's bodies.
"Tonight has been the most wonderful night of my life," Charlie said softly.
"Mine too," Joey said.
She shifted to gaze into Charlie's eyes.
"Thank you for trusting me, Charlie," she said sincerely. "Thank you for loving me and for wanting to be my girlfriend. I feel like until I met you, until we became a family – the three of us – that my life didn't mean anything. I had no direction... I had nothing. And now I feel like I've been given every single thing I have ever wanted. Nothing could ever compare to what we have. I love you so, so much."
Next time… Charlie and Joey wake up together…
