She sets the wine bottle on the counter; Joy sets the blanket on the table. Victoria holds out her hand, and Joy takes it willingly as Victoria leads her up to her room. They enter Victoria's room, beautiful and exquisite. Joy knew Victoria had impeccable taste. Her room was just as intriguing and beautiful as she was. And Joy was being brutally honest. She pushes the door shut, and turns to find Joy standing, waiting for what was next. Joy plays with a curl in her hair, twisting it on her finger as she bites her lip.

Victoria looks down, biting her lip as she was turned on by Joy's hair twisting and lip biting.

Finally, Victoria takes Joy in her arms.

'I'd do anything for you. And after all this hassle of sleeping together under the radar, kissing under the radar…we're finally out in the open, and I want to say that I love you, and would do anything just to be with you. I've never felt this way before, not in a very long time. You give me butterflies Joy whenever I am with you. You make me smile, you love me for who I am, and I the same. And now that we can be openly together, I love you and care about you, and can only hope you feel the same exact way I do.'

Joy smiles, tears in her eyes.

'Victoria, that's about the most beautiful thing you've ever said. I've always loved you, you know that. When we weren't together, I was sad without you there to cheer me up or hold me and tell me everything would be fine. Ever since we've been seeing each other, I feel as we're learning more about each other than we knew before. I've seen a different side of you, a side that I love seeing every single day and waking up next to. I love you Victoria.'

She presses Victoria against the door, and throws her arms around her, and Victoria wraps her arms around Joy's waist pulling her in close to her. They make out against the door, as Victoria's hands slip up Joy's blouse, feeling her cool skin against Victoria's hands. Stumbling close towards the bed, they stop kissing each other passionately, and Victoria breaks contact, sitting on the bed. Joy whimpers, because she desired more, but Victoria smiles, and it seems to calm her down. She sensed Victoria had an intention in mind.

Victoria peels off her pants, one leg at a time, exposing her shapely legs. She stands there in her long sleeved buttoned blouse, and her boy shorts. Joy presses her against the wall, unbuttoning the blouse, revealing her matching black bra.

'There we go,' she says, smirking. She presses Victoria gently on the bed, arching her back as she crawls on top of Victoria.

'Babe, I have one request. Pants off, my dear. I want to feel your skin touch my own.' Victoria purrs softly as she watches Joy slip her shorts off, exposing her underwear. She leaves the blouse on, but before she got back on Victoria, she slowly unbuttons it, in an attempt to turn Victoria on by her action. One by one the buttons come undone, exposing more skin.

'Like what you see, my lady?' Joy says, seductively.

Victoria purrs. 'I like it, I like it a lot.' Joy smiles then bites her lip, and crawls into bed next to Victoria, spooning up from behind her. She wraps her arms around Victoria's waist, her palms resting on Victoria's stomach. Her long fingers began tracing small circles against her skin.

'You have to admit, this is nice.' Victoria says, smiling. Joy leans in, a grin on her face.

'Yeah, but it is not as great as this.' She presses Victoria's face close to her own, and kisses her. Pausing for a second, she and Victoria exchange looks. They continue kissing each other, tongues playing against each other, as Victoria pulled Joy close to her. Slowly Joy removes her blouse, tossing it aside, on the floor. Victoria does the same, leaving them both only clad in their underwear. They part again, and sit up, as she throws her arms around Victoria's neck, showering her with fervent kisses against the nape of her neck.

Victoria caresses the sides of Joy's beautiful body, marveling at how fit she was. A former dancer before she was known as 'The Queen of Eyebrows,' Joy managed to continue to maintain her physique.

'How do you do it?' she asks, breathlessly as she presses kisses against the nape of her neck.

'Do what?' Joy asks, gasping as she feels the smooth lips of Victoria's pressed against her neck.

'Look so goddamn hot?' Victoria says, tracing against Joy's spine with her fingers, feeling the indentation on her back.

Joy smiles coyly. 'Yoga and Pilates, my dear.'

Victoria nods, proceeding to kiss her against her collarbone and brushing her lips against the tops of her breasts.

'I'm so glad we came out to the others. For some reason, I feel free.'

Joy grins. 'I do too…so does this mean you'll come sleep with me more often?'

Victoria kisses her against her cheek. 'We'll take it slow, how about every other night, does that sound good to you?'

Joy smiles, reaching up to touch Victoria's cheek, feeling the softness of her skin, and then press her lips against her cheek.

'That would be lovely, dear.'

She holds Victoria in her arms, her arms around her waist, fingers tracing against Victoria's rock solid abs.

'You have no idea how good this feels right now.'

Victoria rolls over, getting a good look at Joy.

'You look gorgeous right now; I could just take you right here, right now.' She smiles, pressing her lips against Joy's neck. Joy moans softly, as Victoria smirks.

'Why don't you?' She asks her, biting her lip, waiting patiently for Victoria's answer. Victoria silently swoops her up in her arms, Joy sighs as Victoria brushes kisses against her soft skin. She peels off the blouse, leaving Joy in nothing but her bra and underwear. Swiftly, she unhooks the bra, pressing even more kisses against her, allowing herself to get to know Joy in a way she hadn't in quite a while. She laps against Joy's skin, then circling around a rosy areola. Lightly, her teeth tug at the nipple, and Joy gasps.

Her fingernails clasp against Victoria's shoulders, ready at a moment's pounce. Her teeth bit her lower lip to ease the tension she felt. She felt euphoric, ready to take on the universe that was her girlfriend. Gently she nibbles against Victoria's ear, as she whispers sweet nothings that only Victoria understood, responding with a smirk.

Joy's hands slipped up Victoria's sides. She could feel the coolness of Victoria's skin against the palms of her hand. Her hands caress the sides of Victoria's body gently, then slowly her hands cupped gently underneath Victoria's breasts. She leans in further, brushing kisses against Victoria's collarbone as Victoria gasps. Victoria reaches her hands to unhook her bra, but Joy stops her, unhooking it and peeling it off of her sweat soaked body. They finally had the skin contact they had longed for.

'My, you look gorgeous,' Joy says, sitting up in bed, topless. Victoria sits up too, and they face each other, topless and nude from the waist up. Joy pulls Victoria close to her, her arms around Victoria's thin waist. Victoria's arms were thrown around Joy's neck.

'Am I doing this right, are you okay with this?'

Joy smiled sweetly at her girlfriend. She thought it was so adorable how Victoria let her direct here.

'It's fine, babe.' Joy leans in, her nose touching Victoria's.

They share a kiss, then part lips and look at each other, sharing a mutual smile.

Victoria gently pushes Joy to the bed, making out with her, even slipping a bit of tongue for good measure. Joy's arms still around Victoria's waist, they moved their way up against her back, as she traces Victoria's spine lightly with one hand, the other hand cupping Victoria's right butt cheek. Her fingers explore, slipping in and out of the boy short, as Victoria gasps at the reaction to the touch. She feels her friend's wetness, and smiles. Upon making a hasty decision, she goes ahead with her touch, and fingers her gently with one finger, watching her girlfriend and best friend cry out in sheer pleasure from the feeling of being touched. Slowly, she introduces the second and third, her speed increasing as Victoria's breathing became much heavier. Victoria looks up into Joy's eyes, smiling.

'Where did you learn all this?'

Joy traces her cleavage gently, teasing Victoria's smooth skin.

'Internet, really. I wanted to get tonight right.'

Victoria smiles sweetly, whispering huskily, 'I could hardly tell.' A finger reaches her core spot, and she gasps.

Joy smiles in return, and brushes her soft lips against her toned body. She brushes against Victoria's soft olive toned skin, finding that there was more imperfection than her girlfriend let on to people.

'What's this?' she smiles, her finger tracing against a faded scar from the past. It was raised a bit, but quite faded.

Victoria sighs, 'It's a long story.'

Joy nods sympathetically, and smiles. 'I'll finish sex now, and then will you tell me? I want to be able to kiss your pain away.'

Victoria nods, and Joy thrusts the fingers deeper and deeper, the gasps from Victoria's pursed lips became louder. Finally when Victoria was ready, she whispered, 'Joy…' and soon, Joy releases, and Victoria gasps, falling into the arms of her girlfriend and best friend.

'Now will you show me?' Joy pleads, as she strokes Victoria's sweat matted hair.

Victoria takes a moment to catch her breath, and says, 'Alright, if you insist.'

She takes Joy's hand in her own, directing it towards various spots on her body. The first one, she directs her to a scar on the back of her neck.

'Bottle rocket, when I was five,' she whispers, as Joy kisses her against her neck. Joy spies a large scar near Victoria's spine. She traces it, as Victoria whispers, 'Surgery for scoliosis when I was a teen.'

Joy nods as she brushes her lips gently against the scar, as Victoria shudders. She comes across a scar, light but faded on Victoria's stomach.

'C-section scar, from when I had Emmy.' Joy smiles sweetly, brushing her lips across it gently. Victoria smiles sweetly, knowing that she had just revealed herself to Joy, in such a way she never did before. She felt good about it.

'Now show me yours.'

Joy smiles lovingly at Victoria, pointing to a scar on her arm.

'This was from surgery after breaking my arm. I actually had to have pins put in.'

Victoria winces before kissing her arm gently. Joy then points to her knee.

'This is from knee surgery after years of damage from ballet.' Victoria smiles coyly, as she blushes, before pressing a gentle kiss on her knee.

'You're such an adorable klutz.'

Joy smiles at the compliment, pressing her into a hug.

'Now- we know each other's scars.'

She smiles happily, nuzzling her nose gently against Victoria's. They lay in bed, holding each other under the covers.

'Tori, what are your worst flaws?'

Victoria nuzzles against her girlfriend, looking up at her, smiling.

'I would have to say that I'm too much of a narcissist sometimes. But ever since I've been with you, I feel as if I finally am able to balance that because I'm seeing that I can be happy. I can be loved. I can care about someone other than myself.'

Joy smiles in agreement, pressing a kiss against her forehead.

'I think sometimes I'm a bit cynical and sour. But, you would be too if you've failed at relationships, and your mother isn't proud of you for who you truly are.'

Victoria nods, snuggling against her girlfriend's chest.

'I'm proud of you,' she says, leaning in to leave a shower of kisses against the nape of Joy's neck. Joy sighs, and wraps her arms around Victoria.

'Those words mean a lot to me,' Joy says, as her girlfriend snuggles close, she could feel the warmth of Victoria's body against her, and she smiled.

'I feel complete with you. Do you ever wonder what it would have been like if we found each other earlier?'

Victoria snuggles close, nuzzling her nose against Joy's chest.

'We were on different paths, so maybe it was meant to be to find each other in this way, like this.'

Joy nods in agreement. 'Maybe you're right.'

Victoria snuggles up again, her nose gently rubbing against Joy's skin.

'Joy, honey…when have I ever been wrong when it came to relationships?'

Joy giggles softly, and says,' you were wrong five times.'

Victoria smiles sweetly, gently kissing Joy on the cheek.

'I wasn't wrong this time. I think we had crushes on each other for a while, but…'

Joy smiles, finishing her sentence,'…we never acted on them '

Victoria nods, laughing softly. 'Yeah babe, that.'

Joy leans in, gently stroking Victoria's hair. 'And now we've acted on them. We've been acting on our feelings for seven whole, exhilarating months. The best seven months I've had. You've made me so happy, it's unbelievable.'

Victoria looks up, smiling. 'These have been the best months for me too. I don't remember the last time I ever was this happy.'

Joy leans in, kissing Victoria.

'I love you.'

Victoria snuggles close, and returns the kiss.

'I love you too, my princess.'
