Chapter Two
Eventually Julie separated herself from Gill enough to look at her face to face. She reached out and brushed the fallen tears from her cheeks and took her chin in her hand. She couldn't explain why she had decided to put their entire friendship on the line in that moment but she leaned in to place a gentle, wet kiss to Gill's lips anyway. Gill had seen the evidence of Julie's own heartache and had met her halfway to kiss her back. Once the brief kiss had come to it's natural conclusion they both pulled away to look at each other once again, their eyes wide in surprise as they searched for a sign of explanation or confirmation.
"I…" Julie opened her mouth to apologise but Gill interrupted her.
"Ssh…" She leaned in and kissed Julie a couple more times which was the older woman's undoing. She could only hold herself back for so long when faced with the one thing she had wanted for so many years. Julie kissed her best friend passionately, one hand threaded it's way through her hair and cradled the back of her head, the other held her face in it's palm to bring her lips closer. Julie still had a few niggling doubts at the back of her mind but the haze of lust took over her brain and all her worry and frustration from the day's events came out in showing Gill just how much she was loved.
Gill struggled to find somewhere to put her hands having wrapped them around Julie from her awkward position sat on the bed. She ran them up and down the older woman's back before she settled on the front of Julie's striped work shirt. She must have come over straight from HQ and Gill didn't have to use much imagination to know just how much paperwork her little jaunt to Flamborough would have generated. Gill placed her fingers on the buttons of Julie's shirt and began to undo them one by one as she continued to kiss her best friend passionately. Gill got halfway through and realised that it wasn't going to work with them both sitting down so she broke off the kiss and pulled Julie up by the hand. Stood in yet another pair of her brightly coloured heels, Julie was ever so much taller than Gill. Fortunately Gill had undone most of her shirt buttons and was left to pull the tails out from having been neatly tucked into Julie's trousers. Gill unfurled each half of the shirt and pushed it over Julie's shoulders, down her arms and off her body entirely. The taller woman stood there in a soft black bra, the lean muscles of her torso straining with the effort of holding on to some sort of control. Gill placed her lips over Julie's belly button and ran her tongue in and out of the dip a few times before leaving a wet trail of sloppy kisses all the way up her sides, between her breasts, up to her collarbones and round her neck to behind her ears. Julie squirmed and wriggled in Gill's hands so much that she would never have been able to deny her arousal even if she'd have wanted to.
"On the bed." Gill instructed Julie and the older woman complied instantly by climbing backwards on top of the duvet to the middle of the bed and kicked off her heels along the way. Julie was grateful for the order as she didn't think she would have been able to continue standing for much longer. Gill gently pushed her down fully on her back, her knees either side of her hips to hold her in place. She sat back on her calves and unbuckled the belt at Julie's waist. She pulled it through the loops of her trousers before flinging it somewhere on the bedroom floor. She wasted no time in unbuttoning the fly and then pulling the zip down as far as it could go. Gill scooted off the bed and tugged on Julie's trousers to try and get them off; the trouble was that they were well fitted to her waist so Julie needed to give her a hand to get them down to her thighs. Once there, Gill pulled off first one leg and then the other and threw the offending garment on the floor somewhere in the vague direction of the shirt and belt. Julie's long and lithe body lay on top of Gill's purple striped duvet, her chest heaved from the physical effort and anticipation of what was still to come. She was unused to someone else taking such control and had never quite imagined Gill would have been so amenable to the idea of them becoming romantically and physically entwined. Gill needed to regain some of the control that Helen had taken away from her earlier that day. Despite the fact that she hadn't spoken to Julie about what Dave had told her earlier, she instinctively knew that Julie would trust her and be compliant. Their entire friendship had been effortless, sometimes understanding things without the need for words and sharing the same unique brand of dry, sarcastic humour. It was unsurprising that when it came to making love with each other it would follow the same vein. Gill pushed down her skirt and let it drop to the floor, she stepped out of it and kicked off her own flatter heels as she did so. She crawled back on the bed and hovered over the prone woman ready and waiting for her. Their lips met in a passionate kiss once again and Julie managed to gain control long enough to pause proceedings for a moment. She cupped Gill's cheek and pulled far enough back to look her in the eye.
"Are you really sure about this?" Julie brushed some of the hair that had fallen haphazardly in front of Gill's eyes out of the way for a moment. Gill deflated slightly at having been stopped mid-flow and let the full weight of her body rest on top of Julie's.
"I can't think beyond tonight but trust me, I do want this. I want you, have done for god knows how long without realising it until now. Is that enough?" Gill's voice was breathy and hoarse, partly from their exertions and partly still from the belt that had been tightened around her throat. For Julie it wasn't quite enough; she needed to know that Gill wasn't going to regret it in the morning because she was absolutely certain that she was seriously in love with her best friend. If nothing else, she wanted their friendship to remain intact as she couldn't imagine life without Gill, even if it meant she had to set her own feelings aside and accept that they would only ever be just friends. Julie's thoughts were interrupted by Gill's knee insinuating itself between her legs and she began a rhythm that would stay with them for the rest of the night.
"Ohhhh…" Julie breathed out heavily as Gill continued to use her knee and then her thigh to excite and stimulate her almost-lover. Julie's rationale fell to the wayside in a haze of love and lust and she grabbed the hem of Gill's evening top and pulled it up her body and off over the top of her head. Their lips crashed together once more and Julie reached around Gill's back to unclasp her bra as their tongues met and danced together in each other's mouths. The straps fell down Gill's arms and she balanced herself on one arm and then the other as she allowed it to fall off completely. Julie used that split second where Gill was unbalanced to switch places so that she was now on top of Gill.
Julie wanted to weep at the sight before her, the woman she had loved so dearly but so secretly for years was flushed with heat and lust and want, for her. They continued kissing as Julie ran a hand up the length of Gill's torso and paused to cup a small but perfectly formed breast, rubbing it's nipple into a hard peak as she did so. Julie's mouth soon took over from her fingers and she laved at the sensitive nub as she paid attention to the other breast with her free hand. Gill's little gasps and moans encouraged Julie to continue, alternating her attention from each breast in turn. Gill's hands entwined in her mid-length blonde hair and held her head in place as though she were telling her not to stop. As if Julie had much self control left! The older woman let her kisses drift downwards, underneath Gill's breasts, over her ribcage and down each of her sides where Gill squirmed and wriggled further from the stimulation. Julie grew ever closer to her intended target but chose to leave the sensitive bundle of nerves until last. Instead she nibbled and licked at each thigh, behind Gill's knees, down her calves and along her foot to each toe and back up to her bellybutton. Gill was gasping and breathing as though she had run a marathon and Julie seriously wondered if she had enough stamina to make it to the climax. Julie's head was yanked upwards and her lips were caught in a bruising kiss.
"Don't…you…dare…stop!" Gill gasped out in-between kisses and any doubt that Gill wasn't one hundred percent sure of what she wanted was temporarily displaced as Julie took her instruction to heart. Back down she went, taking a little time to pepper her journey with extra kisses and attention in places other than where Gill was expecting. This time she ran her tongue over the front of Gill's soaked underwear to tease her before pulling her knickers down her legs and off. Julie settled herself on her front between Gill's legs as she kept them apart with one hand under a thigh and the other was held down by the crook of her arm. She ran her tongue over her slick folds spreading her wetness all over, and then stiffened her tongue and let it find it's way right inside the very core of Gill's sex. She thrust her tongue in and out trying to get back to that rhythm Gill had started earlier. Gill writhed in time with Julie's ministrations and a string of unintelligible "Ohs" and "ahs" along with some other colourful words flowed from her mouth. After a while Julie withdrew her tongue from Gill's sex and took her arm off her thigh so she could instead insert first one and then two fingers. Gill held her own legs apart while Julie kept the well established rhythm going. She continued to lap at the slippery wetness of her labia before catching Gill's clit gently in her teeth. She latched on and ran her tongue over the sensitive nub frantically and felt it engorge and pulsate in her mouth. Gill's body and limbs twitched and spasmed and she lost complete control of herself as she climaxed hard around Julie's fingers and tongue. Julie crawled her way back up along Gill's body so she could greet her with a sticky, sweet kiss. A hand cupped her sex and gently stroked and soothed Gill's orgasm and it's aftershocks to completion.
Gill blindly pulled back the duvet and settled herself in Julie's arms in a post-coital haze underneath the covers. It wasn't long before she had fallen asleep, Julie's body wrapped around hers like a protective blanket. Julie couldn't sleep, daren't sleep, for fear of what the morning would bring. She was certain that Gill would come to regret it and couldn't help the tears that fell from her eyes as her heart clenched painfully in anticipation of the heartbreak to come. She was too exhausted and too over stimulated to leave so instead held her best friend tightly and prayed that everything would be okay when she awoke.
