Gerri Hill - One Summer Night

Jo had never wanted someone like this before. She had never needed someone as much as she did Kelly at this moment.

With shaking hands, she toweled herself off. When she was finished, she looked up. Kelly stood in the bathroom doorway, watching her, the light behind her outlining her glistening body.

"Come to bed.” Kelly’s words were barely a whisper across the room.

Kelly laid down and pulled Jo to her, kissing her mouth with such urgency that it frightened her. Their tongues dueled, and Jo pushed Kelly back, settling her weight on top of her.

"I want you so much," Jo whispered. Her hands cupped Kelly's face, and she kissed her gently. Kelly lay still, letting Jo set the pace. Her earlier need to hurry had vanished.

Instead, she wanted to savor every kiss, every touch. She slowly forced her mouth from Kelly's, lips gliding over Kelly’s eyes and cheeks, over her ears and neck. Kelly's hands gently caressed her back, moving to her shoulders and back down again.

"Do you have any idea what you do to me?" Kelly whispered. She brought her hands to Jo's face and guided her mouth back to hers. "No one has ever made me feel the way you do. Jo, you must know I'm. . ."

Jo silenced her with a kiss. She didn't want to hear the words she feared Kelly wanted to say.

"Shhh," she breathed into her mouth.

Her hands caressed Kelly's breasts, then she put her mouth there and her tongue licked at Kelly’s nipple, teasing the hard peak, then sucking it hungrily into her mouth.

"Oh," Kelly sighed and her hands held Jo there for a long moment.

Jo moved her mouth to Kelly’s other breast, and her hand slid slowly down Kelly's smooth body, finding her wet with need. For me, Jo thought. Her fingers slid into Kelly’s wetness, and Kelly's legs parted and her hips rose up. Jo's fingers stilled and she pressed into Kelly as her mouth continued its assault on her breast.

Finally, she drew her mouth away and found Kelly’s lips again, meeting her tongue, sliding into her mouth. She couldn't get enough of her, and her hand left Kelly’s warmth and cupped her face again as they kissed.

Jo drew back and looked into Kelly's eyes, emotions swelling up inside of her. She pushed away the feelings that threatened her so. She couldn't allow them in.

Shutting her eyes for a brief moment, she moved down Kelly's body, her tongue hinting at what lay ahead. Kelly pushed at her shoulders, silently begging her to hurry.

Jo lay between Kelly’s legs and pushed them apart with her hands. Her tongue teased Kelly’s inner thighs, and Kelly let her breath out slowly.

"Take me, please," she pleaded.

And Jo did. Her mouth settled over Kelly, and her tongue moved into her wetness, stroking her quickly.

"God, yes," Kelly breathed.

Jo wrapped her arms around Kelly's hips, and she pressed closer to her, her tongue swirling over her, into her, as Kelly surged up under her mouth. Jo’s lips caressed her quickly and then slowed. She wasn't nearly ready for this to end, and Kelly gripped her shoulders hard, pushing her down.

"You're driving me crazy," Kelly gasped.

Jo knew that she was and she savored the control, her tongue stroking Kelly slowly, tasting her sweetness, tormenting Kelly to an even higher peak. She would never tire of this, Jo thought, and her lips again settled over Kelly, sucking her into her mouth, causing Kelly to groan loudly.

"Please," Kelly begged, and Jo gave way to her pleadings as her tongue moved quickly over Kelly, bringing her to the brink of orgasm and then over the edge, not stopping until Kelly cried out with her release.

Kelly pressed Jo's mouth to her, her hands holding her hair, her hips rising and meeting her, her body shuddering, until she slowly laid back down, her arms limp by her sides.

Jo drew away, then came back and kissed her there gently, then laid down beside her, one leg stretched over her.

"I can't move," Kelly groaned.

Jo smiled and caressed her face, her closed eyes, her swollen lips.

They lay on their sides, facing each other, the words whisper-soft between them.

"Each time with you is more than the time before," Kelly murmured. "I didn't think it was possible."

Jo said nothing, just looked at her, touched her. She was afraid to speak, afraid of what she was feeling.

Kelly opened her eyes and looked at Jo.

"What is it? What are you thinking?"

Jo shook her head slowly, entwining her legs with Kelly’s. Her hands wouldn’t leave Kelly’s warm skin. They moved over Kelly’s stomach, her breasts, her neck, Jo’s eyes following her hands every movement, as if they had a will of their own.

"Does it frighten you, what I feel for you?" Kelly whispered.

"Don't.”

Jo closed her eyes tightly, and her hands stilled.

"Not saying it doesn't make it any less true," Kelly said gently.

"I'm not ready for that," Jo admitted.

Kelly sighed wearily, and Jo found her eyes, catching just a glimpse of hurt there. She didn’t know what to say.

"I'm sorry, Jo.”

Jo shook her head slowly. “There’s nothing for you to be sorry for. It’s me,” she said, tapping her chest lightly.

Kelly pushed Jo down on the bed and moved up beside her, touching her face lightly with her fingertips.

“You're such a beautiful lover. I hope I bring you as much pleasure as you do me," Kelly murmured into her ear.

"Like no one ever has before," Jo said and held her. "It scares me."

Kelly smiled in the darkness and touched her lips lightly.

"I won't hurt you," she whispered so quietly that Jo wasn't sure she heard the words. "I just want to love you."

Jo closed her eyes and let out a soft sigh as Kelly began to do just that. Her mouth nuzzled Jo’s neck and her hand cupped her breast, her thumb raking over Jo’s nipple. Jo thrilled in the feel of Kelly’s mouth and lips on her, and she relaxed, letting the lovemaking take over her senses. Her nipples were taut and ready for Kelly’s touch, and Kelly’s tongue caressed them lightly before her mouth covered each peak in turn. Jo brushed her fingers through Kelly's hair and down her back, her breath coming quickly.

Kelly lay on top of her, shoving her leg between Jo’s thighs. Jo arched into it, wrapping one leg around her. Kelly again moved to her mouth and kissed her with such sweetness that Jo thought she would cry. Her hands cupped Kelly's face and she held her mouth to her, their lips brushing lightly against each other. Oh, she could get so used to this, this slow, sweet lovemaking.

Kelly leaned on her elbow, her hand cradling Jo's head.

"You're so beautiful," she whispered into her ear. Her hand moved down Jo's body, caressing her. Her leg pressed hard against Jo, and Jo opened up further, rising to meet her. Her mouth settled over Jo’s breast again and her fingers slid between her own leg and Jo's body. She touched her, so wet and ready, and Kelly slid her fingers into her, deep inside her, and Jo cried out and held her close.

But Kelly pulled away.

“Roll over,” she said urgently.

Jo turned onto her stomach, trembling. Then Kelly’s warm body covered her, hands and mouth tempting, teasing.

With Jo’s face buried in the pillow, she closed her eyes, arms stretched out in front of her, thrilling to the pleasure of Kelly’s touch.

She felt her breathing quicken as Kelly’s hands moved over her hips, dipping between her thighs, then back out again. Her hips rose off the bed when Kelly’s hands lightly brushed the backs of her thighs, and her legs parted instinctively.

Kelly slipped one hand under her, lifting her. Jo’s breathing was labored now as she waited for Kelly to come to her.

She felt Kelly’s other hand move between her thighs, and she moaned loudly, anticipating her touch. Then Kelly’s fingers were there, first two, then three, and she plunged into her, hard.
