Rain fell in sheets. It wasn't often that it rained, but Victoria could see the rain fall against her window in her bedroom, splashing wildly and dancing against the window. A clap of thunder was heard, and she smiled. Victoria loved rain. She loved how it felt against her skin; she loved watching it fall against the windows. She also loved when she had someone to watch it with. She looks out the window momentarily, then smiles. Tonight she'd have someone to listen to and watch with. She hoped things would work out in her favor. As she was thinking about Joy, she hears her bedroom door creak open slowly.

'May I come in?' Victoria smiles, hearing the familiar British accent, and responds, 'Of course.'

Joy enters, carrying a pillow, and wearing a camisole and striped bottoms. She appeared as if she had just removed her makeup and was wearing her glasses. Her hair was pulled back somewhat, but seeing Joy standing there, au natural, made her bite her lip. She was enamored with how gorgeous Joy was sans the makeup and wearing her glasses.

'Rain's lovely, isn't it?' Joy says, setting down her pillow on Victoria's bed, and shutting the door to Victoria's room. She turns around, and comes up behind Victoria, wrapping her arms around her waist, and leans in to kiss her against her lips.

'It sure is, babe.' Victoria says, smiling. They part ways, and head to opposite sides of the bed, and get in bed. Victoria waits until both are in bed, and then turns off the light.

Joy spoons up behind Victoria, placing her arms around Victoria's waist. She smiles as she hears Victoria moan softly at the feeling of another's arms around her.

'Hey, babe,' she whispers softly, and turns around to give her a kiss, open and passionate on her lips.

'Are you in the mood?' Joy says nonchalantly, stroking Victoria's hair gently. She hoped Victoria was in the mood; because, she knew it would be a while before they could do this again. Victoria turns around, and smiles.

'I've wanted you to say that, princess.' She sits up in the bed, and removes her pajama bottoms, leaving herself in only a camisole and underwear. Joy smiles and licks her lip as she watches her remove her bottoms, one leg at a time, exposing her beautiful long legs. Wriggling off her socks, she turns to Joy, chuckling quietly, 'Socks aren't really a turn on, don't you agree?' Joy nods silently, and Victoria slips back under the covers as Joy takes her turn, removing her bottoms also, and leaving just a camisole and underwear. She too slips back under the covers and spoons up against Victoria again, wrapping her arms once again around her waist, but this time she was experiencing skin contact, her fingers tracing gently against Victoria's stomach.

'This is perfect…you, me…' She lies there, tracing endless circles against her stomach repeatedly, sighing. Victoria grins, and murmurs, 'We could do this all night and be into it.'

Joy smiles, her fingers tracing against Victoria's pelvic bone, reaching to pull the boy short and slip a hand there. She was subconsciously doing it, slowly slipping her hand down there, and smiled at the gasp of her friend. Pulling out, she smiles, and kisses her friend against the nape of her neck.

'I never expected us to ever fall in love with each other.'

Victoria presses her close to her, her hands stroking Joy's long chestnut brown hair. She lets her manicured nails run freely through the thick hair which lay so beautifully down Joy's back.

'I never did either, until a few months ago and boy did I fall…hard.' She smiles, pressing a few soft kisses against Joy's tresses.

'You have the most gorgeous hair…' Victoria says, running a few fingers through it. It was long and wavy. Joy smiles sweetly, taking the compliment and kissing Victoria against her cheek.

'You're too sweet.'

She smiles as she traces lightly against Victoria's stomach again, slowly slipping her hand up her tank top, her hands pressed against Victoria's smooth back. She runs her fingers against her spine, tracing it, and then lets her hands slip under Victoria's breasts, cupping them gently.

Victoria gasps silently, trying her hardest to not make too much noise. Joy smiles, and lets her arms wrap around her waist, palms over her stomach. She sighs, and then smiles because she knows she has her all to herself. She never thought that this would happen between the two of them, Joy and Victoria had been best friends for a long time…and now, they were falling in love with each other. It was something new for her, but she actually found it interesting how different Victoria was with her. It was as if she was seeing another side of Victoria.

She pushes herself against Victoria, gently slipping her arms around her waist, palms resting on her stomach. Victoria smiles and rolls over to get a good look at Joy, and she smiles, throwing her arms around Joy.

She then swings her legs around Joy's hips and uses her strength to press closer to Joy, and shower kisses against her neck.

'I love you, you dear sweet, Joy.'

Pushing back Joy's hair, she gently nibbles against Joy's ear, as Joy moaned softly from the effects of the feelings of Victoria's dominant side. Surprisingly, she liked when Victoria took the dominant. All this time, it had been her. Victoria presses more kisses against her neck and moves towards pushing Joy's straps down her shoulders. She presses her soft lips against her porcelain skin, even kissing the tops of Joy's breasts.

Purring softly, Joy whimpers at the slightest touch of her perfect near flawless skin. Victoria sits up on Joy, and pushes the camisole up, exposing her flat washboard stomach. Leaning in, she presses her lips against her stomach, brushing against it like a watercolor brush to watercolor paints. She lovingly dotes on Joy, taking precautions. Slowly, she explores Joy, running her palms against Joy's sides, then slowly removes Joy's camisole, revealing nothing but bra and underwear. Joy then helps Victoria do the same, and soon enough she pulls Victoria down on top of her, pulling the covers on top of them. Victoria fingers her chest, and then presses a few soft butterfly kisses against the tops of Joy's cleavage. All Joy is able to do is murmur softly, nibbling gently against Victoria's shoulder.

'Be careful, my dear. I don't want to have to explain any bite marks.'

Joy looks up, smiling. 'I'm just grazing with my teeth.'

Victoria grins, and then proceeds to taste Joy's skin with her tongue, lapping her up swiftly and carefully. Joy whimpers at every bit of touch, her grip of her friend holding tighter and tighter. She decides whether or not to retract her fingernails, but she doesn't want to scar Victoria if she then digs her nails too deep. Joy was cautious because she loved Victoria and didn't want to hurt her. She knew she'd feel bad if she hurt her in any way. Slowly, Victoria unhooks her bra, and, Joy leans up, cupping Victoria's bosom in her hands.

'Dear, when you told me you wanted plastic surgery, here's your answer. Don't do it. You're too gorgeous.'

Victoria smiles lovingly, leaning in to kiss her again against her forehead. They touch noses, and she whispers, 'I'll take it as a compliment. You're so sweet.' She unhooks Joy's bra with a flick of her fingers, and they hold each other, half naked, but covered by the large bedspread that adorned Victoria's bed. Victoria again takes the reins, and slowly reaches to finger her friend's sex, gently and slowly. Joy murmurs softly against her ear, she could hear as she went deeper, her friend would gasp. Not loudly, but enough for her to know that she was enjoying it. She feels the wetness of her friend's sex, and smiles. As one hand was fingering her slowly and carefully, the other was caressing her shapely thighs.

Thinking to herself, she thinks,'Damn, Joy is beautiful.'

As her hand went near her inner part of her thigh, Joy did her best not to scream or cry loudly. Instead she whimpered, because she knew their mutual secret would be found out in the worst way if Melanie were to awaken from her sleep. Deeper Victoria went, the whimpering and gasping became somewhat louder. With her other hand, Victoria presses her fingers against Joy's pursed lips.

'Hush, babe. We don't want her to find out that her friends are screwing each other under the home we share, do we?'

Joy looks at her, eyebrows raised. 'Screwed is a pretty dark way to put it, don't you think?'

Victoria sighs, knowing her friend had a point. 'But it's better than saying fucking, isn't it?'

Joy smiles coyly. 'You have a point there, dear. Fucking is too blunt and obvious.'

Thrusting her finger within, she watches as Joy gasps and moans softly, notes every eye movement she makes, and every little word said. She smiles, knowing what she must do. She knew that she had someone that she cared for. Joy and she were in it for the long haul. The two of them had to find their way, and find their sweet sliver of happiness, and they were getting it. After twenty some years of friendship they were finally together, and not bound by other relationships. They now had each other, and Victoria was determined to make Joy happy. Every day when she looked at her, she saw hope, she saw forgiveness. She felt that every time she was with Joy, her personality changed. Victoria knew that she wasn't the person everyone thought she was. She wasn't difficult, she wasn't self-absorbed. She was simply a woman who struggled for love and acceptance. Joy was her way of receiving that love and acceptance she so desperately was hungry for. And in return, she'd give Joy the love and attention she craved. The reason being, that underneath that shell, Victoria Chase cared. She cared about someone other than herself. Sure she cared about Melanie, but not in the same way she cared about Joy. That feeling changed when she told Joy her feelings about her. Victoria accepted her sexuality for years. She knew she wasn't just after men, but she also had a soft spot for women. It was hard for her to accept as she was the best friend. She didn't think she'd ever fall for Joy. Victoria smiles, and Joy whispers, 'Victoria…' and comes to a climax as Victoria slips her fingers out, and Joy slips next to Victoria, and wraps her arms around Victoria's waist, pressing her body behind her.

'That was amazing by all counts.'

Victoria grins, knowing she did well in pleasing her wants and desires.
