Chapter 4
The sight of Ginny standing before her took Hermione's breath away, even though she'd seen her looking just as she did dozens of times before. Her long red hair was falling over her shoulders, the edges a little damp from washing her face before bed. She wore a large, loose Holyhead Harpies t-shirt and shorts that were barely visible beneath the t-shirt. It was nothing special, Hermione knew this, but at the same time, she'd never found Ginny to be more beautiful, especially as she was backlit by the light of the moon streaming in through her bay window.
"Hi…" Ginny said softly, as if she was trying not to scare Hermione away.
"Hi…"
"I heard you walking to my room, so I figured I'd greet you at the door… Didn't want to keep you waiting if you knocked, I guess…" Ginny shrugged and gave Hermione a small lopsided smile as she rubbed the back of her neck nervously.
Hermione gave a small smile back and tried to keep from losing her nerve, taking another deep, settling breath.
"Ginny I – I've never even really properly snogged anyone before…"
Ginny nodded and continued to speak softly, "That's alright… I – "
"No, Ginny… I – I don't know what I'm doing…"
"You don't need to… We'll go as slow as you need, there's no pressure…" Ginny said, before stepping closer to Hermione, closing the gap between them.
Hermione could smell Ginny's peppermint toothpaste as well as her lavender-scented facewash, and she could feel herself being drawn in to her. She closed her eyes and leaned in, but stopped when she heard Ginny say her name.
"Hermione?"
Hermione opened her eyes and found Ginny looking directly into her eyes. Hermione saw that they were darker than they usually were, and almost desperate as well.
"Are you sure you want to do this? With me?"
Hermione's eyes flicked down to Ginny's lips, then back up. "I trust you…" she said breathlessly.
Ginny nodded, "If at any point you want to stop, we'll stop, no questions asked, okay?"
Hermione nodded in agreement.
Ginny took a deep breath and let it out, looking from Hermione's lips up to her eyes again. She reached up and tucked a few loose curls behind Hermione's ear, letting her hand sit on her jaw, her thumb softly brushing Hermione's cheek. Hermione couldn't help but lean into her touch, and Ginny smiled.
"You're so beautiful, Hermione…"
Ginny slowly pulled Hermione to her, bringing their lips together gently. It was so different than the first time they'd kissed earlier that day. Ginny had challenged her, had essentially dared Hermione to do it, and it was done out of haste and desperation. Hermione had enjoyed it, of course, but she was enjoying this so much more. It was slow and soft and sweet, and she felt extremely cared for by Ginny. She trusted Ginny, and felt so safe with her.
Ginny began to walk backwards into her bedroom, pulling Hermione along with her as she went. She stopped right beside her bed, dropping her hand from Hermione's cheek and putting both hands on her waist, pulling Hermione in closer to her. Hermione felt Ginny's tongue on her lips, and opened her mouth to allow Ginny's tongue entrance. Again, unlike the kiss earlier in the day, Ginny was gentler and softer as she explored Hermione's mouth with her tongue. Hermione's hands had traveled up into Ginny's hair, her fingers sliding between the soft, thick tresses, while Ginny's hands made their way beneath Hermione's t-shirt.
"Is this okay?" Ginny murmured against Hermione's lips.
Hermione nodded quickly and felt Ginny's fingers firmly grab her waist where she had before, but this time it was Ginny's fingers on her bare skin. Hermione let out a small gasp, and felt Ginny smile into the kiss. Hermione had never felt this way before with any boy, the deep desire radiating through her body, shooting out to her fingertips, to her toes, to her center. As Ginny's hands wandered up Hermione's body, eventually landing on her ribs just within reach of her breasts, Hermione couldn't focus on anything other than needing to be as close to Ginny as possible.
"Do you want to lay on the bed?" Ginny whispered against Hermione's lips.
Hermione nodded, and Ginny sat on the edge of the bed, starting to pull Hermione down as well, before Hermione grabbed both of Ginny's wrists, stopping her. Ginny looked up at her in slight confusion.
"I – I don't want there to be anything between us…" Hermione said softly.
"Alright…" Ginny said, still a little confused.
"I want you to take my clothes off, Ginny…" Hermione explained, so unbelievably glad that she'd kept her nerve.
Ginny looked up at her in shock for a split second, before a smile spread across her lips. She stood up and kissed Hermione, before reaching down to grab the bottom of her shirt.
"Are you sure?"
Hermione nodded and lifted her arms up over her head. Ginny slowly pulled the shirt up over Hermione's head, dropping the shirt to the floor. She then went to grab the bottom of her own t-shirt, before Hermione stopped her.
"May I…?" Hermione asked shyly.
Ginny smiled and nodded, lifting her arms up over her head. Hermione grabbed the bottom of the loose-fitting t-shirt and pulled it up over Ginny's head, dropping it on top of hers on the floor at their feet.
The moon was bathing the room in a soft light, and the two girls stood for a moment, taking each other in. Ginny's breasts were slightly smaller than her own, and Hermione could see the muscles that hours upon hours of Quidditch training had formed beneath the soft, freckled skin of Ginny's torso. Hermione thought she'd feel more self-conscious, exposing herself like this to another person, but once again, she felt safe with Ginny.
Ginny took a step forward, nearly closing the gap between them, and lifted a hand up to Hermione's breast, hovering over it. She looked up at Hermione, asking for permission with her eyes. Hermione took a deep breath, then nodded, the anticipation of Ginny's hands on her skin making her whole body tingle.
As Ginny gently placed her hand on Hermione's breast, Hermione couldn't help but let out a small moan. Ginny looked up into her eyes to ensure everything was still okay, before she began to softly and slowly knead Hermione's breast. Hermione's body felt hot all over, and she couldn't believe this was her reaction to Ginny simply touching her chest. Ginny kissed her, slowly working her way from Hermione's lips, across her jaw, down her neck and chest, to her other breast. She looked up into Hermione's eyes, and Hermione nodded quickly, urgently, desperately. Once she felt Ginny's mouth close around her already hardened nipple, Hermione let out a moan, and it wasn't small. Her body surely was on fire now, and all she could focus on was Ginny's mouth and hand on her body, and how wet she was becoming with each passing second.
Ginny worked diligently for a while before switching sides, exchanging her mouth for her hand and vice versa. Hermione watched in awe as Ginny worked, occasionally making eye contact with her as she glanced up at Hermione with what she knew must be her signature lopsided smile as she continued to caress Hermione's nipple with her tongue. Again, Hermione was reminded of the cherry pit, and was hit with another shot of arousal as she thought of another spot on her body she'd love to have Ginny's tongue on.
Ginny eventually made her way back up Hermione's body, placing a searing kiss on her lips. Hermione grabbed her wrists and puts Ginny's hands on the waistband of her shorts. Ginny looked at her, her eyebrows raised slightly.
"Are you sure?" Ginny breathed, trying to read her thoughts through Hermione's darkened eyes.
"I'm sure… I want you, Ginny..." Hermione barely got out, she was so wound up.
Without hesitation, Ginny worked her way back down Hermione's body, kissing as she went. She moved to her knees and placed a gentle kiss just above Hermione's waistband, before looking up for one last confirmation. Hermione nodded with a small nervous smile, and Ginny grinned up at her. She hooked her fingers on either side of Hermione's waistband, then leaned down and placed a gentle, warm kiss right on Hermione's center through her thin shorts. Hermione thought she truly might explode as she closed her eyes and lightly moaned Ginny's name. Then she felt a pull at her shorts as Ginny guided them down her legs. Ginny helped her step out of them, and suddenly Hermione was very aware that she was standing in front of Ginny Weasley, very naked. She still wasn't self-conscious, even as she looked down and watched Ginny taking her in from her knees, she trusted Ginny completely. Ginny placed another soft kiss on her center, this time her lips connecting directly with the neat mess of dark curls between Hermione's legs, before Hermione bent down and grabbed Ginny gently, pulling her up. Ginny looked at her with slight confusion and concern, before Hermione put her hands on the waistband of Ginny's shorts.
"May I…?" Hermione asked, less shy this time.
Ginny nodded, and Hermione pulled Ginny's shorts down and helped her step out of them. She too took Ginny in, her breath taken away by the sight of Ginny's curls just a few inches from her face. She flicked her eyes up to Ginny's, and felt herself get considerably more wet as she saw Ginny watching her, and leaned forward, placing a gently kiss on Ginny's center.
"Hermione…" Ginny whined, and Hermione wasn't sure she'd ever heard a better sound.
Ginny immediately pulled Hermione up her body, and kissed her deep. There was so much going on, Hermione's senses could barely keep up. She could feel Ginny's tongue in her mouth, masterfully working her own tongue. She could feel her skin pressed firmly against Ginny's, Ginny's strong hands and fingers on her back. Above all, she could feel the warmth of Ginny's center on her's, as Ginny slowly ground against her. Responding to Ginny, Hermione moved and slipped a thigh between Ginny's legs, giving her something more substantial to move against. Ginny looked up at her, shock and arousal heavy in her eyes, and grinned.
"I knew you'd be a fast learner…"
Upon hearing that, Hermione leant down and captured one of Ginny's nipples in her mouth, gently sucking on it while maintaining the upward pressure against Ginny's center.
"Oh, Hermione!" Ginny let out before Hermione stood back up and crashed their lips together again.
Ginny stepped back from Hermione's thigh and pulled them both down onto her bed. It was small, but certainly had enough room for the two of them. Hermione was on her back and Ginny moved to position herself on top of her, holding her body weight up off of Hermione with her lean, muscular arms.
"I want to feel you against me," Hermione said desperately, wrapping her arms around Ginny and pulling her down on top of her.
The weight of Ginny's strong, yet soft body was everything to Hermione. Their bodies pressed so closely together was making her feel so safe, yet so turned on, and yet Hermione still felt like she wasn't close enough to Ginny. She tried to pull Ginny closer, even though it was physically impossible, and she felt Ginny smile into the kiss before pushing herself up to hover over Hermione again, looking deep into her eyes. Her legs were on either side of Hermione's, which were clamped shut, trying to create the pressure her body desperately needed.
"I'm going to move off to the side for a moment, and I want you to open up your left leg, okay?"
Hermione hated the idea of Ginny moving off of her, but nodded in agreement. Ginny moved off to Hermione's right, allowing her room to open her legs. Hermione pulled her left leg away from her body, as Ginny instructed, and immediately realized that she could hear how wet she was as she did. Before she had the chance to be embarrassed by it, Ginny swiftly swung back over top of Hermione, hitching her left leg over Hermione's right, and putting her right leg up underneath Hermione's left. Hermione realized this angle gave them much more flexibility in accomplishing what Hermione wanted most, to be closer to Ginny, and looked up at the girl in awe. Ginny smiled back, and lifted her eyebrows slightly, once again asking for permission. Hermione nodded, and Ginny lowered herself down onto Hermione, light curls settling against darker curls.
Hermione gasped and grabbed Ginny's back while Ginny moaned at the sensation of the pressure against one another. They stayed like that for a moment, frozen while they both processed just how good it felt to be that close to one another, when Ginny slowly started to move. She pushed her hips forward into Hermione's, increasing the pressure, then backed away gently so they were just barely touching, to Hermione's frustration. Ginny must've seen the frustration on Hermione's face, because she spoke up.
"Trust me…" Ginny whispered, her voice thick with arousal.
Ginny pushed her hips forward again against Hermione's, and Hermione let out a soft moan at the sensation as Ginny pulled back again. Gradually, Ginny increased the tempo. Every time Ginny pressed up against her, they could hear and feel how wet they were, and Hermione could feel it throughout her entire body just how turned on she was. She could feel something beginning to coil inside of her, something she'd never felt before. It built with every thrust from Ginny against her, which was getting a little harder and faster each time. She grasped at Ginny's back, her skin lightly slick with sweat, before she slid her hands into Ginny's hair, forcing her mouth down onto hers. Ginny moaned into the kiss, and Hermione lifted her hips to meet Ginny's, making Ginny break the kiss and moan out loud. As Ginny pulled away, Hermione braced herself, and met Ginny when she pushed her hips forward again, both of them moaning loudly at the sensation this time. Ginny had her hands on either side of Hermione's head, while Hermione grabbed Ginny's hips, forcing them down onto her's harder and faster still, trying to increase the friction.
"Ginny…" Hermione whined, the tension that had been building inside of her now becoming nearly unbearable.
Ginny lowered herself one last time, this time maintaining the contact and grinding her wetness into Hermione's, sending Hermione over the edge. The coil that had wound so tightly inside of Hermione snapped, and she felt a sensation rip through her body like she'd never felt before as she lost all control. She cried out and pulled Ginny desperately down on top of her, biting down on Ginny's shoulder. Ginny kept the pressure against Hermione, but stopped moving, letting her ride out her first orgasm.
As she eventually regained her composure and her breathing returned to normal, Hermione became aware of Ginny, still on top of her, lightly kissing along her jaw and cheek. Once she felt Hermione move, Ginny slowly raised herself off of her, the two of them gasping lightly at the sensation of them pulling apart. Ginny rolled over to the right of Hermione, watching her carefully. Hermione sensed this, and turned her head to look at Ginny.
"Are you okay…?" Ginny asked softly.
Hermione managed a small smile and nodded, "Okay is the bare minimum of how I'd describe how I'm feeling right now…"
Ginny smiled back, "So, you don't regret any of this?" she asked tentatively.
Hermione shook her head, "Not at all. I'm so glad I let myself experience this and let myself have what I truly wanted… And I'm especially grateful that I did it with you…"
Ginny's smile grew, and Hermione noticed a light blush form on the girl's cheeks.
Hermione leaned forward and kissed Ginny gently on the lips, before asking "How are you?"
"Honestly? I'm not sure I've ever been this happy," she said, leaning forward to place a kiss on Hermione's lips.
"I mean… But you didn't…" Hermione said, her eyebrows knitting together in concern.
Ginny chuckled lightly, "It's fine, Hermione. This was about you. I mean, if you ever wanted to do this again, I certainly wouldn't object to – "
Hermione interrupted Ginny with a searing kiss.
"Of course I want to do this again. Honestly, Ginny, how could you think I wouldn't want to?" Hermione asked.
Ginny gently pushed a few loose curls behind Hermione's ear, and beamed, "Sounds like a plan."
Hermione took in the girl in front of her. Just a few days ago, she'd noticed Ginny in a way she never had before. She saw the adorable collection of freckles scattered across her face, her beautiful bright brown eyes, her gorgeous long red hair with streaks of gold running through it, her soft light pink lips. Never in a million years would she have thought she'd be beside that same stunning girl, in her bed, looking at her as if she'd never seen something quite so incredible in her entire life. While she wasn't sure what was next to come, Hermione knew that if Ginny was beside her, as she was through this, guiding and caring for her and making her feel so safe and loved, she'd be able to get through anything.
