The bedroom
Late in the night Amanda awoke to rustling next to her. She tried hard to ignore it and fall back asleep, but Angela was almost at the point of thrashing. Amanda leaned over, smoothing out the hair on Angela’s forehead, which was sticky due to sweat.
“Ang, honey, it's okay. Shhh…it's okay Ang, I’m here.” Amanda held Angela tighter, trying to calm her down, but it wasn’t working. Angela thrashed harder and faster, this was one hell of a bad dream. Angela started to whimper, and suddenly flipped around and clutched Amanda, jolting upright, breaking the silence with a sharp intake of breath.
Tangled in the comforter Angela breathed ragged and slow, her chest rising and falling rapidly. Her eyes darted around in the dark, trying to make sense of her surroundings. Before she was overcome with fear, Amanda’s touch brought her back to reality.
“Hey, it’s okay, I’m right here. It was just a bad dream, you’re safe Ang.” Amanda kept her arms wrapped around Angela, grounding her from her terror, rubbing her hands up and down her back and torso. Angela kept breathing loudly, clinging to Amanda’s sleep shirt, as if letting go of Amanda would send her back into her nightmare.
Angela looked up at Amanda, slowly letting go of her. “It was so real and vivid.” Her voice was barely audible.
“I know, it’s okay.” Amanda felt bad for repeating herself over and over, but it felt right. The minutes passed by, and the sound of the clock ticking matched the shallow breaths Angela fought for. Her erratic heartbeat began to slow, replaced by a steady presence of Amanda.
Amanda wanted to press for details, but she knew it was not appropriate, instead she just kept repeating, “I’m here. It’s okay.”
With a final exhale, Angela finally let herself believe that it was okay, and tried to lay back down, but her mind was plagued by uncertainty. She knew she liked Amanda, and she knew that their friendship meant more to her than her other friendships, but seeing her floating in the water scared her into facing the truth. She didn’t just like Amanda, she loved her.
The moonlight filled the room, illuminating it just enough for the women to truly see each other. Angela quit trying to pretend to sleep, and turned into Amanda, who was still awake trying to soothe Angela.They stared at each other for quite some time, both afraid to say the first thing. Angela took it upon herself to start.
She whispered, as if everyone in the house was able to hear her confession.
“I really don’t tell you enough Amanda, but I really do love you.”
“I love you too,” Amanda whispered back.
“No, Amanda. I love you more than what words can describe. I love you and I want you to know it. Sometimes when I look at you, I wonder how lucky I am to have the opportunity to know you, and to be around you. I truly don’t know what I did to deserve you and your friendship.”
There it was. The “friendship.” Amanda heard the blood rushing in her ears, deafening Angela. She had never felt so scared in her life. She had no idea what to say, she didn’t want to mess up Angela’s flow.
“Amanda, do you ever feel like you are trapped in a dance, where you always try to stick the landing but it never happens?”
“Yes…but it kind of depends on what we are talking about.”
“You know what I mean.”
Amanda felt her heart catch in her throat.
“I do?”
“Amanda, I love you. I think we both know it. I kept telling myself all day that I was just nervous after seeing you in the water, but I had to finally acknowledge that these feelings weren’t new. I want to love you until I can’t anymore.”
Amanda felt hot tears running down her face. “You really do love me, Angela?”
“Yes.”
“What do we do now?”
The air was heavy with tension, but Amanda was the first to break it. She grabbed Angela’s face, pulling her into a deep, passionate kiss. Angela melted into it, urgently crashing her lips into Amanda’s, her fingers tracing up and down Amanda’s shirt. The kiss was soft, drawing out the moment for as long as possible.
Angela shuddered, pulling back for just a moment so they could catch their breaths. Amanda wouldn’t let her stay back for too long, her restraint unraveling as she reached into Angela’s shirt, connecting their lips again. Amanda and Angela fought for dominance, exploring each other with a raw hunger to get closer. Angela parted her lips against Amanda’s allowing her to enter her tongue.
Amanda pushed her tongue into Angela’s mouth, and Angela bit down slightly, her hands fisting the fabric around them. They broke apart once again, but Angela moved up to straddle Amanda, her legs wrapping around Amanda’s torso. “May I…?”
Angela breathed heavily, throwing her head back, slowly moving her hips, “...Yes.”
Amanda moved her hands up and down Angela’s thighs, before reaching up to take off Angela’s tank top. As soon as the air hit Angela’s breasts she moaned quietly, desperate for attention to her sensitive nipples. Amanda sat up quickly, kneading Angela’s breasts in her hands, before moving her mouth to Angela’s chest. She sucked on her nipple, while squeezing the other lightly. Angela couldn’t help the whimpers leaving her body as Amanda worked her tongue over each breast.
She grabbed a fistful of Amanda’s hair, pushing her chest up into Amanda’s mouth, needing more.
“Amanda…”
Amanda wasted no time sucking faster, rolling her tongue over Angela’s breasts before slowly tracing down her stomach. Angela’s hips started to move faster on Amanda’s thigh, but Amanda’s hands forced her to stop.
“Not like this Ang, take your shorts off.”
Angela lifted herself off of Amanda, removing her shorts hastily, her skin pink with arousal. Amanda gasped, eyeing the beautiful woman in front of her. She went in for another kiss, it was sloppy and desperate, her center ached to be touched by Angela. She traced her fingers on Angela’s fully naked body, pulling her in tight to feel every inch of her skin.
Amanda’s hands made their way down to Angela’s legs, slowly pushing her fingers into her soft thighs. She grabbed Angela’s ass, causing Angela to moan into Amanda’s ear. “Please Amanda, I need you.”
Amanda moved one hand to the center of Angela’s thighs, which were already sticky. She pushed Angela’s legs apart, and slid her fingers up and down Angela’s soaking wet folds. Angela moaned louder, and Amanda placed her free hand over Angela’s mouth. “Baby we can’t risk anyone hearing us.”
Anglea nodded, moving her head to Amanda’s shoulder to muffle the sound. Amanda slid one finger, and then another, inside Angela, and Angela met her pace. Her hips moved frantically on Amanda’s hand, rolling her hips in a pace Amanda struggled to keep up with.
Angela whined into Amanda’s shirt, the sound of skin slapping down started to drive Amanda insane. “I love you Angela, you’re so beautiful. I love you.” Amanda repeated sweet compliments into Angela’s ear, not even sure Angela could hear her over her own moaning.
Amanda moved her other hand to Angela’s clit, rubbing fast circles over the sensitive area. “Amanda!” Angela couldn’t help but scream Amanda’s name into the air, her hips slamming up and down on Amanda’s fingers. “Fuck, you feel so good Ang.”
Amanda sucked on Angela’s neck, kissing hard on every part of skin she could reach, her hands were starting to ache, but she didn’t care. She pushed harder into Angela, fucking her with all of the strength she could get. Angela’s legs began to shake, her head thrown back in pleasure. “Amanda, fuck, baby I’m so close.”
Amanda put more pressure on Angela’s clit, sending her over the edge. Before she could stop her Angela’s whole body trembled with her orgasm, her moans sounding the room. “Fuck, Amanda, Amanda..” Their eyes met and Angela kissed her deep, whining into Amanda’s mouth. Her hips slowed, savoring every second of her climax.
After she was done coming down from her high, she put her face on Amanda’s chest, burying herself into Amanda’s breasts. “Ang, I hope everyone was asleep, because I swear the whole house could hear you.”
“I know.”
Amanda lifted Angela’s head up, planting soft kisses all over Angela’s face. Angela lifted on Amanda’s shirt, and Amanda helped get it off. Angela then tugged at Amanda’s pajama pants, which Amanda was happy to throw to the floor. The only thing between Angela's mouth and Amanda’s pussy was only a very thin silk underwear.
Angela put one finger on Amanda’s clit, rubbing up and down on the fabric. Amanda swallowed the moan that was rising in her throat, conscious of the very thin walls around them. Angela slowly lowered her face down in between Amanda’s thighs, licking around Amanda’s underwear.
Amanda placed her hand on Angela’s head, moving Angela’s face to her core. Angela slowly slid Amanda’s underwear down her legs, and kissed her clit softly. Amanda covered her mouth, but Angela was quick to reach up and remove it. “I want to hear you.”
Angela licked all around Amanda’s pussy, and Amanda moved up and down, soaking Angela’s face. Angela pushed her tongue inside Amanda, causing her to arch further onto Angela’s tongue. Angela pushed her tongue in and out of Amanda, rhythmically moving with Amanda.
Amanda whimpered at the feeling of Angela inside of her, but she needed more. “Ang, I need more of you.”
Angela removed her tongue from inside of Amanda, swallowing her wetness, before moving her face and eagerly lapping at her clit. She pushed three fingers into Amanda, pounding into her. Amanda grasped the sheets around her, trying to soften each thrust Angela slammed into her. Her whole body moving up and down, shaking the bed below them.
Angela took her other hand and threw Amanda’s leg over her, giving her more access to Amanda’s body. She lifted her head up, taking her fingers out, and threw Amanda’s other leg over her, she moved her fingers back into Amanda, and at the new angle she mercilessly slammed into Amanda, who was lost in her own senses.
The bed squeaked and groaned under them, and the sound of moans and heavy breathing filled their bedroom. “Oh my god, fuck, fuck, Angela.” Amanda’s whole body went hot as Angela curled her fingers inside of her, hitting her most sensitive spot over and over. The sensation was almost too much for Amanda.
Amanda scratched her fingers along Angela’s back, the force of Angela caused her to almost draw blood from the skin. Amanda’s legs shook around Angela, her back arching to the point she thought her spine would snap.
Stars burst behind Amanda’s eyes, and she screamed into Angela’s chest, tears pricked at the corner of her eyes. Amanda was needing Angela to stop and slow down, but Angela was relentless. “I love seeing you like this.” Amanda went limp underneath Angela, throwing her head back onto the pillows.
Angela finally slowed her pace, setting Amanda’s legs back down onto the bed. She slid her fingers out of Amanda, licking them clean before moving up to hold her. “I love you.”
Amanda kissed Angela, their bodies intertwined in the sheets. “Do you think anyone heard us?”
“Yes, I think the whole house did.”
The sun was slowly starting to rise outside the window, and they were grateful for the curtains that shielded them. They stayed connected together, kissing each other softly in the dimly lit room. “I really hope I’m not still dreaming.”
“Oh Ang, I promise you’re not.”
