When they arrived at Serena's house she led them into the living room and instructing Bernie to make herself feel at home. She went to make them a cup of tea before to compose herself as much as possible for what was about to happen. They talked for what felt like hours. They knew something needed to change. They couldn't constantly be in each others faces at work, couldn't constantly work on every case together. They didn't want to get bored and tired of one another. They didn't want to turn into that couple that resented each other and bickered over the smallest of things.
After a while they relaxed knowing that tomorrow would be another day with new challenges that they would have to face. Bernie pulled Serena as close as possible to her as the brunette rested her had against the taller woman\s shoulder. Suddenly feeling the need to let Serena know just how much she was loved and appreciated Bernie shifted slightly so that she could look down at her.
'Serena? I … I'm sorry for today. I don't want situations like today to negatively affect us. You mean to much to me to loose you now.' Her voice was small but determined, all the while her eyes never left Serena's.
'What have you got to be sorry for? It takes two to tango after all,' Serena's voice was laced with humour and something altogether new. The usual flirting quirk was there but it was different. Bernie couldn't help but chuckle a little at that. Trust Serena to bring a little flirtation into a situation to lighten the mood.
She looked up and straight into Serena's eyes as the brunette started to speak. She could detect the seriousness there.
'Bern, It's going to be tough isn't it?'
'One would assume so I suppose. If it wasn't for Raf things could have turned out a little differently today.'
'Good old Raf. What would we do without him?'
'He really is something special.'
'I guess we're both just to stubborn old fools who are trying to figure things out as best we can but if today was anything to go by not quite doing as well as we would both hope for.' Serena's tone was light but serious at the same time. Bernie could only nod in agreement. She loved her job and didn't want to jeopardise her reputation and position. However she didn't want to jeopardise things with Serena. This woman who was like a stedfast rock, a constant companion and fellow shiraz drinker.
She had come to mean so much to Bernie both at work and outside of work, that she was beginning to find it difficult to know what she would do with herself if she didn't have the brunette to bat idea's off of or go to in her time of need. All she knew was that if this was going to work she needed to relinquish some control, rather hard to do as her army training was still a tangible part of who she was. She was used to having to make snap decisions be a leader of people. That would always be a part of her but she desperately wanted to develop her ability to accept help offered to her by her AAU family as well.
She couldn't help smiling down at the one woman who had made her want to change for the better. She leant forward and kissed Serena with all her might, suddenly needing to be as close to the other woman as possible. The brunette was slightly taken aback by the force of the kiss but couldn't help herself rising to the challenge and sweeping her tongue around Bernie's lower lip before being allowed entrance. Teeth on teeth tongues fighting for dominance. This was definitely new but exciting territory for them both.
The heat between them was rising quickly as hands roamed over each others backs. Serena pulled back suddenly, standing and holding her hand out to Bernie who took it without hesitation. The two women wandered upstairs to Serena's bedroom as best they could, all the while stealing hot, open mouthed kisses. All the while Bernie had to remind herself that this wasn't just their first time together, it was Serena's first time with another woman. She wanted to make it as memorable as possible. She needed, wanted this to be as special and intimate as she could possibly make it.
As she closed the door quietly behind her Bernie couldn't help the small smile pulling at her lips. She moved oh so gently towards Serena, who's eyes where filled with a mixture of scared little girl and lust. She looked directly into those beautiful brown eyes as she guided Serena over to the bed. As they sat down Bernie cupped the other woman's face gently brushing her thumb over the pronounced cheek bone that lay beneath it.
'There's no need to worry love. We can take this as slowly as you need to. I want to make this a happy memory for you. Just do what feels right ok? And if ever you need to stop you just let me know. I would never want to make you uncomfortable.' The soft genuine tone of her voice washed over Serena and wrapped her up. So felt so secure in Bernie's hands. Slowly the brunette moved forward, needing to explore as much of the other woman's mouth as possible.
Without breaking contact the two woman gently moved themselves so they were lying in a more comfortable position that allowed them much more access to one another. Bernie's hand gently stocked down Serena's side and came to rest on her hip and squeezed gently before her fingers skirted under the hem of her t-shirt and came to rest on the skin there. Her fingers danced lightly over Serena's skin feeling the soft warmth of the woman lying next to her.
Serena couldn't help but notice the warm weight of the blonde as she moved so she was sat atop her thighs. Bernie pulled back just enough to be able to look into the brunettes eyes as she whispered, 'I love you Serena Campbell.' Before the other woman could speak Bernie leant down to recapture her lips before moving down to her jawline, placing feather kisses down towards her neck. As she moved to gently nibble at Serena's ear lobe she heard a soft purr escaping the other woman's mouth. Oh how she loved that sound. This spurred her on. She returned to Serena's mouth briefly before turning her attentions to the buttons of her soon to be lover's blouse.
Torturously she undid the buttons one at a time, alternating between kisses and gentle nips and sucks at the skin she had just exposed. Even these small touches had Serena burning up. As she exposed the brunettes bra clad breasts she needed to taste the space in-between them. Her tongue came to rest just above the lowest point of her cleavage and swept all the way up to her collar bone. Serena's hand fisted in blonde hair as breathy gasps escaped her. How was it possible to feel this good from just the smallest of touches? As Bernie's mouth briefly touched the sides of her breasts, Serena could help but arch slightly into the touch.
All to soon Bernie was continuing her way down Serena's midriff. Upon reaching her navel Bernie couldn't resist as she kissed it before pushing her tongue in gently and swirling around it ever so slowly. The sound that escaped Serena's lips was pure music to Bernie's ears. With the last two buttons undone she pulled Serena up by the opened shirt so they were face to face. They met, lips crashing together as Bernie rolled the shirt off Serena's shoulders and down her arms, throwing it across the room.
In this position Serena's hands tentatively but curiously made their way under the hem of Bernie's shirt, ghosting her fingers as far up the blonde's spin as the material would allow. Bernie shivered at the sensations those slender fingers caused, arching her back, breasts brushing together through to much material. This gave Serena the courage to pull harder at Bernie's shirt before moving it up and over the Blonde's head. Her eyes flickered down to the heavy rise and fall of Bernie's chest. With one hand still on her lower back to hold her steady Serena's free hand found it's way to the clasps of Bernie's bra and with one swift movement unhooked the garment and threw it haphazardly across the room.
She took in the sight of Bernie's freed breasts and felt amazed and enthralled by them. She leaned in softly to kiss Bernie before curious want took over her and she bent her head to take Bernie's left nipple in her mouth. If Bernie's reaction was anything to go by she wasn't doing to badly so far. Instinctively her tongue came and flicked at the hardening bud before softly sucking alternating every so often. Bernie couldn't help but arch into the feeling Serena was creating in her. She couldn't help the escaping mewling sounds as Serena continued before moving in to remedy her other breast. How had she never done this before? The feeling of her mouth and hands on her breasts was pure delight.
Needing to know the feel of Serena's beautiful breasts in her own mouth Bernie tugged at the straps of the lacy bra still hiding Serena. When she managed to remove the offending garment she pulled back and waited a hares breath before before leaning in to kiss Serena again as her hands came up to cup her, her thumbs swirling around Serena's hardening nipples. She couldn't wait any longer. She gently lowered them back onto the bed as her mouth came to rest over one of Serena's breasts sucking, gently biting, licking and kissing. The sensation of Bernie's mouth was sending the brunette crazy. She swore she had never felt this before from simply having lavish attention payed to her breasts.
Arching her back, pushing herself into Bernie's mouth, she didn't want this sensation to end. Never before had she thought that having someone's mouth on her breasts could be so delightful, such a turn on. She couldn't help but feel her body responding to Bernie's ministrations.
'Bernie,' she groaned through gritted teeth as her hand rested in the blondes hair. Moving back up to Serena's lips, Bernie kissed her fervently before whispering, 'God you're beautiful.' She sat up slowly taking in the already flushed skin of the most beautiful woman lying beneath her. She felt Serena's Fingers digging into her hips slightly as her own hands wandered down the top of trousers. Oh so slowly she undid the zip before resting her full weight on her knees and tugging slightly. Obediently Serena brought her hips up to allow the trousers to be completely removed.
Again Bernie placed open mouthed kisses all the way dawn Serena's midriff, keeping her hands glued to the Brunettes hips. When she reached the lace at the top of Serena's underwear she looked up for a moment, gaging Serena's emotions. When she locked eyes with the other woman's darkened brown eyes she knew she had the green light. She smiled reassuringly before pulling the last piece of rather soaked material off of Serena.
Today wasn't about teasing or too much foreplay. They would have time to explore all that later. She just wanted this to be a simple yet beautiful experience for Serena and that's exactly what she intended to do. Gently but surly she placed a loving kiss to the top of the brunette's clit. This elicited a sharp intake of breath from the other woman. She slowly let her tongue slide between her lips and swipe over Serena's clit with more pressure and need.
Serena didn't think she had ever felt anything so good. It was complete and utter bliss. She would have been hard pressed to suppress the noises coming from her mouth as Bernie's tongue swept over her most sensitive spots with a confident yet gentle pressure. The fire between her thighs was like nothing she had ever experienced before. It was intense and wonderful and made her cry out it painful pleasure.
Just as she was thinking this couldn't get any better she felt a finger slowly circling at her entrance. She bucked her hips and cried out in shocked pleasure. She felt the delight sweep over her as Bernie easily slipped two fingers into her. Curling them, Bernie found Serena's sweet spot and was pleased to hear the unashamed delight in Serena's voice as she repeated her name again and again.
She found an easy rhythm that had Serena writhing madly underneath her. She couldn't help but smile as she chuckled slightly taking note of how the inevitable vibrations were affecting the brunette so deliciously. She did it again deliberately, knowing full well the tingle of pleasure that would run up Serena's spine at the feeling.
Serena was so close now, she didn't know how long she could hold out. The fire curling in her stomach was growing in intensity and needed to be released.
'Bernie … please … please … I-I Ahhhhh,' suddenly Serena's voice was lost to the intense arching of her back and moment of her hips as suddenly, her orgasm took over her. So intense was it, that she could barley breath. Fireworks going off behind her eyes. She completely forgot who she was, where she was as the sensation wracked her body. It was amazing, beautiful, powerful.
As her breathing returned to normal and she became aware of her surroundings again, she felt Bernie slip from her and place hot kisses back up to lips. Tasting herself on the blonde's lips was oddly nice. What she didn't expect though was the twinge and burn between her thighs begin to stir again at the taste. The blonde had come to lye next to her as her hand gently stroked through brown hair. Serena couldn't help but just gaze at Bernie. This woman had just given her the best sexual experience of her life so far. In pervious encounters she had never felt anything so intense, so loving and caring, so whole-world-shaking. If it was possible she slipped a few notches further in love with the blonde.
As she leant up on her elbow to kiss Bernie she caught the last hints of her own unique taste on the other woman\s lips. Her curiosity took a firm hold over her. In one swift motion, which even surprised her, she found herself sitting atop Bernie's thighs, effectively pinning the blonde beneath her. As she leant down to kiss her, their breasts brushed together, sending a spark of pleasure through Serena's spine resulting in her hips bucking against Bernie's.
The two moaned simultaneously at the feeling. A burning desire to taste Bernie overwhelmed Serena's senses. Her lips moved from the blonds mouth towards her neck placing gentle kisses to the place where she knew the blonde had needed surgery so many months ago. As Serena's soft lift ghosted over the point Bernie hissed in a short hitched breath of pleasure. It was the first time anyone had intimately touched her there and she hadn't realised it would be as sensitive as it was.
She couldn't help but snake her fingers into Chocolate Brown hair as Serena's delicate mouth moved down from her neck to her cleavage. Here she placed more open mouthed kisses. Nipping ever so gently at the skin at the inside of each of her breasts. To Bernie it didn't matter that she could sense a nervousness in Serena's every touch. She was still creating something inside her that she had only ever imagined before.
She looked down suddenly as she felt Serena's tongue swiping up along the faint but still visible scare on her chest. Locking eyes with dark brown eyes she couldn't help the second wave of heat that pulsated between her thighs. If it was anyone else she was sure it would have been an instant turn off. Right here right now though it was as if everything else was fading away as she let herself indulge in the warmth of the feeling it generated inside her.
When Serena reached her belly button she kissed it gently before hesitating a couple of seconds before taking it lightly in her teeth and sucking slightly before letting her tongue swirl in and around it to smooth it. The growl she heard escape Bernie's lips must have indicated she liked it.
She couldn't wait any longer. She wanted to know what Bernie tasted like. She hesitated for a moment, unsure of what exactly to do. She gazed up towards Bernie's face. What she found there was both surprising and reassuring. Those brown eyes blown with lust also showed happiness and love, her features showing only pure need for more, the heavy rise and fall of her chest. It was all there, was all that she needed to see before carrying on.
In need of a little more time Serena started kissing and lapping at the insides of Bernie's thighs She couldn't help but notice how delicately smooth the skin was there, how warm and perfect and natural it felt to be kissing it. She made her way northwards as slowly as possible wanting, not only to give herself enough time to get to grips with what she was about to do, but indulge in the whimpers that were escaping Bernie's mouth.
'P-please ... Serena I ... I need to feel you' Bernie eventually managed to whisper as the brunette was just a hairs breadth from where she desperately wanted to be touched. When she finally felt Serena's tentative lips touch hers she couldn't help the gasp that came out of her mouth as her hips bucked upwards and into the touch. It was as if a bolt of electricity had just been sent right through her core. Even the smallest touch from this woman had a massive affect on her. God only knew what she would be feeling as the brunette became more confident.
That first proper taste was intoxicating but it wasn't enough. She wanted, needed more. She swept her tongue out and flicked up. That definitely hit a pretty good spot as she heard the blonde cry out her name as hands came to lace through her hair. This spurred her on to greater heights. She desperately wanted to explore Bernie's most intimate secret.
She couldn't stop herself, her tongue lazily swirled around and over Bernie's clit before finding itself moving downwards to her entrance. It was an oddly pleasant feeling. Her tongue danced at the blonde's entrance for a couple of seconds before swiftly dipping in. It would definitely take some getting used to but by god one thing that she definitely didn't think she'd get used to was the sound coming from Bernie's mouth.
Just the sound and feel of her completely letting go just being in the moment was totally liberating for the both of them. Was Serena feeling brave enough? As she kissed her way back up to Bernie's clit she decided right there and then that she was. She raised her head enough to be able to look up at Bernie's face. Her eyes were closed, her mouth open slightly. She was the cause of that pure lust and excitement.
Bernie's eyes flew wide open and caught Serena's as she felt those slender fingers caressing her gently. Their gaze held as Serena's fingers explored her. The smile on Bernie's face masked by the moans and whimpers coming from her. She couldn't hold back the loud moan, her head dipping even further into the pillow as her back arched as those talented fingers fully entered her.
The slick warmth now surrounding Serena's fingers was another sensation that she would most definitely have to get used to that's not to say she didn't enjoy the feel of muscles moving around her. After a couple of seconds of adjusting Serena understood from the motion of Bernie's hips that she needed to feel more friction. As she began to delicately move her fingers in and out she leant back down to taste as much of Bernie as she could.
It didn't take long for the combined sensations to bring Bernie to the edge and push her hard over the edge. Her orgasam was like nothing she had felt before. Her whole body seemed to be responding to Serena's ministrations. She had to grip tightly at the bed sheets at that point for fear of hurting Serena. Her hips bucking wildly she couldn't help shouting out Serena's name .
Slowly but surely she returned down from her high, her breathing became more regulated and she was once again able to focus on what was going on around her. She couldn't help, nor did she want to, the smile that spread across her face as Serena appeared next to her. Lying on their sides to face each other Bernie reached up and stroked the Brunettes hair gently before cupping the back of her head to pull her in for a long, tender, loving kiss.
'Thank you,' Bernie whispered as the need for air broke them apart. At the questioning look from Serena she continued. 'That was the most incredible I've ever felt. Thank you for making me feel alive again. You are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen and you were amazing. Because I truly love you that was the most satisfying experience I could ever ask for and thank you for letting me be your first ... so to speak.' She finished with a slightly cheeky smile.
Serena could feel the tears collecting at the couriers of her eyes at that. She moved forward so she was kissing Bernie again. She loved this woman so deeply and was desperately happy that Bernie had been the one to show her what it meant to truly make love.
'No, thank you for showing me what it truly means to make love to the person I love. Just the fact that you had that affect on my and I could return the favour really shows me that I really am happy I really don't care that we're both women. All I know is that I'm in love with you and you love me and that that physical show of it was the most intensely amazing thing I have ever felt.'
As Serena had been speaking, all Bernie could see in the other's eyes was sincerity, trust and love. Right her right now she knew she was home. This was where she was meant to be and damn it if she ever had to go without the fantastic woman for longer than necessary.
