Courage to follow your heart

by Christina Aas

  Kris reached into her pocket to locate her room key, very aware of Liz’ hand wandering slowly down from her shoulder across her spine toward her lower back. Kris finally got a hold of her key and yanked it out forcibly. She struggled to fit it into the keyhole while Liz’ hand continued to stroke her slowly down her lower back and across the top of her firm behind, feeling a tingling feeling spread out from her skin, igniting under Liz’ touch.

  Liz’ fingers danced across her hips and moved slowly toward her front while she leaned in and gently bit her lower earlobe. “Uh… You know I’m never gonna manage to get us into my room if you continue like that, right?” Kris announced with a tremble in her voice while her hand kept fidgeting with the lock. Kris forced her mind to blank out the incredibly sensuous maneuvers Liz were doing to her neck below her ear and focused the entire rest of her brainpower on the task at hand – getting them past her locked door. Finally she heard the door click open and sighed in exasperation while she pushed the door open with a wide grin – “here you are, milady”.

  “Why, thank you migorgeous” Liz grinned back before she grasped Kris’ wrist and pulled her into the room. They barely managed to kick the door closed before Liz’ hands found their way to unbutton Kris’ sexy black shirt which clung tightly to her breasts. Liz was desperate to free her chest from the tight clothing and worked the buttons fiercely. Kris looked down at her with amusement in her eyes and smiled warmly, “you have plans it seems?”. “Oh yes, I have a feeling these gorgeous babies will be much happier without this tight shirt stringing them up, so I just thought I would do you the favor.” Liz winked before she continued to unbutton the shirt.

  Liz gasped at the sight before her. Perfectly well rounded, full breasts, in a black lace bra stared at her and Liz felt her breath leave her while she struggled for air. She blinked her eyes to regain her focus, feeling her arousal spread from below, soaring quickly through her body at the incredibly sexy sight in front of her. Liz struggled for composure and felt herself losing control over her hands while they reached up to grasp Kris’ breasts. She let her thumbs graze gently across the top of Kris’ bra, and Kris’ nipples hardened under her light touch. Watching Kris excited made Liz shiver pleasantly. Liz licked her tongue across her lips and leaned down to pull away the silky fabric of the bra to expose two coffee colored stonehard nipples pointing out at her.

  Liz flickered her tongue across one of the nipples, circling it slowly while wrapping her mouth around to place a firm kiss. Liz’ left hand raised to pinch the other nipple. She heard a slight moan leave Kris’ lips and felt Kris stroke her through her hair before caressing her neck. She marveled at the feeling of having this amazing woman give herself to her. She gently walked Kris backward toward the bed until they reached its edge. Liz pushed further and they both dropped down on the cotton sheets. She released her grip on Kris’ nipples for an instant. Kris edged backward until she was in the middle of the bed on her back, while Liz leaned on top of her, hands returning to continue caressing and grasping her breasts firmly. Liz leaned down further and began unbuttoning Kris’ loose fit jeans, one button at a time. Kris groaned at the pleasure of having Liz’ palm stroke briefly across her center for each button. “Damn, that feels incredibly good” she uttered breathlessly while she grasped the sheets tightly with her fists.

  Liz edged the jeans slowly down fit, toned legs, enjoying the sight of Kris’ almost naked body on the bed, now only wearing black boxer shorts. “I’m so into you, it almost hurts” Liz uttered breathlessly while she stroked her hand softly up the inside of Kris’ legs, feeling Kris tremble under her touch. “Oh, that feels so incredibly good” Kris gasped. “I’m not gonna last very long you know” Kris curled her fingers into the sheets. “Try to hold on as long as you can manage” Liz continued tracing her fingers up toward Kris’ center, already feeling the moisture through the cotton fabric of the boxer shorts when her hand moved across it. She could smell Kris’ arousal and felt a drop of wetness leave her own center. Liz leaned down and gently grasped the top edge of the boxer waistband before pulling it down with her teeth. Kris pushed her hips upwards to meet Liz’ mouth moving slowly across her clit while pulling the boxer further down.

  Liz pushed the boxer shorts the rest of the way down before briefly letting her tongue flicker across Kris’ clit. She saw it instantly harden and heard Kris moan loudly underneath her. Liz licked slowly across Kris’ clit one more time before she took it into her mouth and sucked hard. Kris gasped loudly. Her legs bucked and her whole body tightened, trembling wildly as the orgasm shot through her. Just as Liz saw the ripples of pleasure easing a bit she firmly slipped her index finger deep into Kris, enjoying the feeling of how wet and ready she was. Liz pulled her finger almost all the way out before pushing two fingers firmly deep inside again. For every thrust she could see the orgasm building up again, before Kris finally shook forcibly underneath her. When Kris neared the edge of her pleasure once again, Liz picked up the pace and firmly thrust three fingers deep into Kris while she leaned down and tugged softly with her teeth at her clit. Kris cried out and shook wildly underneath her while the waves of pleasure rippled through her with enormous force. The orgasm lasted a long time, and Liz enjoyed seeing Kris completely loose herself in her hands.

  Kris finally slumped down onto the bed and let out an exhausted sigh, “Oh my god, that was… I don’t know how to describe it. That was insane actually. I don’t know how you did it, but that was absolutely incredible – and exactly what my body needed now.”

  Liz smiled contently and laid down next to Kris, wrapping her leg across her thighs and letting her arm fit smoothly across Kris’ belly. “This is perfect” she sighed and stroked slowly across Kris’ chest.

  “I’m completely beat! You have utterly ruined me” Kris struggled to simply embrace Liz, wanting so much more. She felt her broken heart pick up its pieces, one by one, encouraged by Liz’ warm embrace. Just as Kris closed her eyes, an image appeared before her. She recognized it from the day before the funeral, back home in front of the mirror. And all the pieces fit together, perfectly. She remembered the hurting and how it had slowed down when she’d seen her in her mind. And now, lying here next to her, Kris once again felt her heart come home, where it belonged.

  Liz lifted her hand up to Kris’ cheek and gently caressed her while she noticed a flurry of emotions whirl in her expression, settling into a strong calm of contentment and true happiness. I wonder what that was about Liz thought to herself as she felt the late evening hours catching up to her mind. She swallowed a yawn and looked back to Kris to see her eyelids flutter and struggle to remain open. Liz hugged her more tightly in her embrace while they both drifted off to sleep in the warm California night.

  Chapter 17

  Liz tried to squeeze her eyelids shut when she felt something incredibly bright surround her from every angle. It was piercing through her closed lids and for a second she wondered where on Earth she was. But then she felt fingers stroking gently across her belly and a warm breath whisper into her ear: “Good morning beautiful”. Liz abruptly opened her eyes and saw the bright sunlight surround them. She found herself lying in Kris’ bed. Kris lay stretched out next to her, leaning her head in her palm and looking at her with a I want to kiss you expression.

  Liz leaned in toward Kris and gently grabbed her chin while she pushed her tongue slowly in between Kris’ lips. The tip of her tongue stroked barely across before pushing in to enter her. Liz playfully sucked at Kris’ tongue and swirled her tongue around its wide shaft. “Mmmm” Kris groaned and stretched closer toward Liz, grabbing her lower back to pull them tighter. “You feel incredibly good”. She roamed her hands slowly up Liz’ back and hungrily leaned in for a deeper, longer kiss. “Let’s never leave this bed”.

  “Except for certain bodily needs for food at some point in time, I completely agree with you. Let’s just stay here and enjoy the sun” Liz laughed smilingly while snuggling into Kris’ neck and kissing her just below her
earlobe. “God, you smell good. I just wanna devour you and relish in your taste.” Liz let her fingers dance across Kris’ chest and circle around her breast to tug at one of her nipples. She heard Kris’ breath catch and felt heat radiate from her chest under her fingertips. Liz enjoyed the effect she had on Kris and continued to stroke her palm across her breast and massaging her nipple, feeling it harden between her fingers. Kris slowly began to rock her hips under Liz to match the rhythm of Liz’ massage and arched her back into Liz while Liz heard her breath grow more ragged. She felt Kris’ heart beat faster underneath her fingers, and she leaned down to take her nipple in her mouth, very gently biting it while sucking it between her lips. Kris groaned underneath her and Liz felt moisture develop between her legs. Liz struggled to maintain her position without showing her eagerness for more, and forced herself to focus on Kris instead of her own growing arousal.

  “I’m gonna come very soon… First I wanna feel your fingers deep inside me…” Kris begged while she breathed heavily, shaking lightly. “Please…” Kris felt herself quickly approach the edge. Liz wasn’t quite ready to let her go all the way so soon, so instead she shifted her body to between her legs, took one last tug at her nipple before she let her tongue travel further down. Her tongue moved in circles, licking slowly at the underside of her breast, down between their peaks, around her navel and down toward where she could clearly feel Kris’ arousal emanate. She skipped the place she knew would send Kris off to her soon-to-come orgasm and instead focused her mouth on the inside of Kris’ thigh, very slowly moving up toward between her legs. “God, you’re driving me crazy, I’m suffering here” Kris complained while she grasped the sheets tightly with her fists, struggling to maintain control of her pleasure.

  “Just hold on a little while longer, I promise it’ll be worth it” Liz murmured while she hovered her mouth above the center of Kris’ pleasure, breathing softly and seeing Kris’ lips swell and her clit harden at the intense desire. “Please” Kris stuttered through clenched teeth while she pushed her thighs upward. Liz let her tongue barely touch the tip of her clit and saw Kris shake visibly while she gasped. “Oh my god”. Kris was very close now and Liz knew it wouldn’t take much. She could see her glistening lips swell and knew Kris was more than wet enough when she brought two fingers up to her inviting opening and pushed deep into her. Kris cried out and arched her entire body upwards into Liz while she shook out of control, letting the orgasm ripple through her every cell. Liz stroked her thumb across her clit while pumping her fingers deep into Kris again and again, feeling Kris contract around her fingers every time she pulled out.

  Kris cried out until she was hoarse and out of breath, finally sinking down on the bed and begging Liz to stop. Liz let her hand stop its motion, but remained deep inside Kris feeling her body pulse around her fingers before slowly calming down again. “Wow… What are you doing to me?! You’re ruining me. I’m completely destroyed. But in a very good way though.” Kris exhaustively sighed while she tried to regain her strength, failing in her attempt. Finally registering the intense pleasure of still having Liz deep inside her and feeling her body build up its arousal again, knowing she wouldn’t be able to endure it quite yet, she grabbed Liz’ wrist gently and pulled her out, shuddering as the movement almost brought her to another peak. “I need a break, my body needs to recover a bit now.” Liz rolled down to the side of Kris and let her hand rest on her chest, fully satisfied at being able to bring Kris so much pleasure. “I really really wanna take you to the same place I just went, but my body just doesn’t wanna cooperate yet, unfortunately. I’m so sorry” Kris excused herself while gently combing her fingers through Liz’ blond waves twirling lightly off her shoulders. “I’m so incredibly lucky to have you here with me.” Kris rested her eyes on Liz, taking in her striking beauty in the morning sunlight. “This is exactly what I need.” She sighed and closed her eyes briefly before opening them to look straight at Liz. “Thank you… I’ll make it up to you, I promise”.

  “Shhh, that’s not important. Watching you enjoy yourself so much is enough for me” Liz smiled while she looked into Kris’ green eyes sparkling with after-glory swirling in the sunlight reflection. “I feel so incredibly happy to be able to give you that, and to be allowed to be here with you.” She enjoyed feeling her fingers calmly stroke through Kris’ hair and sighed happily while leaning her head down on Kris’ chest.

  “How are you by the way? How are you doing…?” Liz carefully inquired while she rested her hand on Kris’ stomach, protectively embracing Kris’ body with her own. “I’m okay, better than I have been in days actually. I think I only have you to thank for that though.” Kris looked up at Liz and Liz saw a hint of light immerse from the depth of her green eyes. “You do something to me. I cannot really explain it other than that you somehow relieve my mind and body of all the worries and hurt I’ve been through.” Kris entangled her fingers with Liz and stroked her thumb across her hand. Liz felt warmth spread from inside her heart and she tightened her hold on Kris. “I want to do so much more” she gently stroked her finger across Kris’ cheek.

  “You’re already doing it” Kris squeezed Liz’ hand and leaned over to gently embrace her with a kiss. “Just letting me escape for a while, giving me a safe haven, is more important to me than I can ever express”. Kris looked into her eyes before shifting her gaze away, at a distant point in the imaginary horizon. Liz’ chest tightened and she leaned in to feel the warmth and solidness of Kris underneath her. “Do you wanna talk about it?” Kris remained silent and just kept looking out across the room into her faraway nightmare. Liz lowered her eyes and looked at their intertwined fingers, stroking them softly. Suddenly she felt Kris’ body quivering and she raised her eyes to catch a lone teardrop rolling slowly down her cheek. “I just can’t believe she’s really gone. It’s so unreal. I keep waiting for her to call me and ask me how my days are going.” Kris tried blinking away the tears that seemed to flow uncontrollably. “But she won’t call, will she? I’ll never hear her voice again…” Kris shuddered while the tears flowed freely down her cheeks. Liz leaned her head down on her chest and hugged her, long and tight. “I’m so sorry”.

  Kris shook her head rowdily, and briskly brought her palms up to her face to wipe the tears quickly away. “How about you, what have you been up to this last week, while I was up in Canada? Anything exciting happen?”

  Liz was confused by the sudden shift in character, but as she gazed up at Kris she saw a hardened look taking residence, shielding from any further intimacy. I guess it’s her way of protecting herself. We went too far… I just hope we can return here someday… I want to be able to get past her armor, I want a space within. Liz shook her head lightly, shaking off her uneasiness. Give it time.

  Liz forced a lighter tone of voice. “Actually, I have some good news I hope you’ll be very happy about” she smiled while she looked up into Kris’ eyes.

  “Uhu?” Kris raised her eyebrows and curled her lip.

  “We’ve made a small surprise for you while you were away. I got a lot of help from Katie and Felicia with it, that’s also why I’ve been sneaking off a lot lately.” Liz grinned at Kris and kissed her swiftly before she continued her story. “You seem to have been wanting to do a certain skydiving activity down in Monterey Bay, right? Well, we took the liberty of arranging it for you.” Liz’ heart jumped when she saw the flicker of recognition in Kris’ eyes when she realized what Liz was talking about.

  “No, you didn’t?? Really? Ah, how incredibly cool!” she exclaimed and raised herself in the bed to tug Liz closer to her, hugging her strongly. “Thank you!”

  “We’ve gotten a whole bunch of the students to join the excursion, and rented several cars for us. Next weekend we’ll drive down with the entire convoy, twelve cars actually!” Liz grinned widely.

  “That’s awesome!” Kris felt happy and grateful, she couldn’t believe Liz had done this for her.

  “Yup, so in just one week we’ll hopefully
be soaring through the skies of California while we drift slowly down hanging from our parachutes” Liz tried to do a mini dance on the bed while she tilted her body from side to side.

  “I can’t wait!” Kris was amazed at how nice a gesture Liz had done for her. “This week will most surely go by incredibly slow. But it will be worth the wait, definitively.”

  “How about we grab a shower and get some food before they close the serving?” Liz slid out of Kris’ embrace while Kris reluctantly let her go. Liz jumped down on the floor and stretched her body toward the ceiling while she made a small sound of pleasure. Kris was astonished by the sight, Liz’ beautiful lengthy body shining in the embracing light and she had to fiercely fight the urge to pull Liz back into bed. Instead Kris just stared at her, taking in her every feature, the gentle curving of her breasts, her flat belly and toned long legs below. Liz turned slightly and caught her appraising look, raising her eyebrow at her. “What are you staring at, you goof?”

  “Just admiring how incredibly beautiful you are and thanking my luck for having caught you.” Liz grabbed her hand and pulled her out of bed. “Silly you” she shook her head at her, pretending to be offended before kissing her passionately. Liz leaned her naked body into Kris’, enjoying the feeling of their closeness. She regretted her belly growling its hunger and their need to leave the room and their intimate hideout. But she recognized that eventually this would have to happen anyways, so they might as well enjoy some of the day. “What do you wanna do after lunch?”
