Eva pulled Diana into their room, closed the door, then sat her down on her bed.
She sat down next to her, “Uh, okay, so…you may be wondering why I’ve brought you here.”
“To our dorm room? Yeah, a little bit, I think.”
“..Right, um..”
Diana nudged closer, “Did you..maybe want to talk about something?”
“I wanted to talk about taking our relationship to the next level.”
“Huh?”
“I mean n–not like, right now. I just thought that perhaps we could talk about it since we’ve been together for so long..or something.” Eva was screaming on the inside. What was wrong with her??
“By ‘next level’ you mean, like…sex?” Diana asked, clearly curious.
“In..indeed.” Eva answered curtly.
“Oh!”
Eva fiddled with the ends of her skirt, “We–we don’t have to talk about it if you don’t want to, in fact, this whole thing was kinda stupid so I’m just gonna go–” Eva got up from her bed to leave, but before she could, Diana grabbed her by the hand.
“It’s not stupid!”
Eva tilted her head, “Um, huh?”
“I’ve..I’ve actually been thinking about the same thing lately, but I was too nervous to say anything. I thought that it might’ve been too soon or that I’d make you feel..uncomfortable, and I didn’t want that, so...”
Eva practically deflated at those words, “I’m sorry, I know I get a little…weird, when it comes to getting intimate.”
Diana shook her head and placed her hand on Eva’s lap, “You don’t need to apologize, I don’t mind it one bit! I’m really glad you felt comfortable enough to talk about this with me, Eva.”
Those words made Eva’s heart skip a beat, Diana always knew exactly what to say to make Eva feel…safe? Pleasant? Honestly either of those could work.
Diana let go and cleared her throat, “Anyway, so…um..sex!”
“...Sex.” Eva repeated.
They both sat there in silence for a few painfully slow minutes. Eva didn’t really know where to go from there. Honestly, she was more prepared to be immediately shut down, she wasn’t expecting their conversation to make it this far. But success was success, she supposed.
“Do you..want to try it right now?” Diana asked abruptly.
Eva paused to take a second to process the question, then her eyes widened, “Wha-?!”
Diana waved her hands around, panicked, “Maybe just to…get a feel of each other's bodies? W–we don’t have to do anything crazy! That would be–well, crazy! ” She then looked down, clearly embarrassed, “Oh, gosh, every bit of that felt weird to say..”
“...Okay.”
“Okay?”
“Okay.”
“Okay!” Diana’s voice cracked, “Um, do you want to be on top or should I–?”
“I can do it.” Eva blurted out.
Diana’s eyebrows rose, probably surprised by Eva’s sudden and completely unexpected (attempted) show of confidence.
“I mean, egh..I can...be on top.”
“Oh, a–alright.” Diana looked slightly taken aback, which was fair because it really wasn’t everyday Eva took initiative like this. Hell, she was a little shocked herself, what was she doing?
Diana shuffled towards the back of the bed to make more room for Eva, and Eva shuffled towards her. She felt tense. She needed to calm down, she had spent the past three weeks preparing for this very moment. She read books, articles, played certain video games, even dabbled in subreddits for christ’s sake! She was ready, she would do this, and she’d do it right.
“Are you nervous?” And before she knew it, Eva was sitting almost knee to knee with Diana.
“Yeah.” Eva replied, though she internally punched herself in the gut for admitting that.
Diana let out a quiet sigh and placed a hand on her chest, as if relieved to hear that, “Me too, my heart’s beating like, a mile a minute, haha.”
Diana held both of Eva’s hands in her own and intertwined their fingers with care, “Let’s just..take it slow and steady, okay?”
Eva nodded and replied, “Slow and steady, right, we can do that.” Slow and steady was their thing, after all, it’s what made their relationship work! Easy peasy…for real..
Diana closed her eyes and pressed her lips to Eva’s, Eva hesitated a bit before reciprocating. The kiss felt so..gentle, and reassuring, in a way, not to mention how soft the cosmetologist’s lips felt against her own. It made Eva feel like a weight was lifted off her shoulders, it was weird how Diana could just do that . The mathlete’s thoughts were abruptly interrupted when Diana suddenly deepened the kiss and pulled Eva down onto the mattress with her.
Eva’s eyebrows rose, her body was stupidly close to Diana’s (though, maybe that was an understatement), and goodness, she was not lying about her heart beating a mile a minute. Not that Eva’s was doing any better, though. Her hands lightly caressing her hair, her lips moving on hers, her…hips. It was too much–or maybe just the right amount? Eva didn’t know.
Eva pulled away a little to catch her breath, her face felt hot and her chest felt heavy. She probably looked like a mess. She opened her eyes to see Diana, who looked just about as out of it as Eva probably did but prettier. Way prettier.
“Eva?”
“Y–yeah?”
“Are you..okay to keep going?” Diana lightly tugged near the area of her yellow bowtie, it took Eva a moment to process what she meant but once she did, she stiffened. Again, she spent three weeks prepping for this. It should be no problem, really! Plus, it’s not like she was completely unfamiliar with seeing Diana in the nude. They lived together, after all (although, the longest she’d seen her like that was 0.487 seconds, so..), so this shouldn’t be all that difficult. Right?
Eva gave Diana a quiet “mhm” and sat up to give her some room to undress. As she did so, Eva looked off to the side and started doing the same, starting with her jacket. Once she slipped her jacket off, she started undoing her tie, and then her shirt. She could hear Diana’s clothes shuffling underneath her, until she couldn’t. Was she done??
“It’s okay to look at me, you know?” Diana said with a giggle.
“I-I know. I just–uh.” Eva stammered. She was making a big fool of herself, she knew it, and Diana probably did, too. She should just–
Diana cupped Eva’s face in her hands and gently turned it towards her. Her sweater-vest and buttoned up shirt were gone, all that remained on her torso was a pink bralette. Pink was her color, and it always looked good on her too, especially at that moment.
“Wow, your skin looks so soft even underneath all those clothes,” Diana traced her fingers over Eva’s collarbone with a coy grin, “You seriously need to share your skincare routine with me sometime.”
“I–uh..buh..wuh?” Eva totally choked, she was so all over the place, all she could really do was stare. Like a weirdo.
“Do I…look alright?”
“I–no! You–you look way more than alright, you’re…” perfect , is what Eva wanted to say, but the word felt stuck in her throat.
Diana carefully wrapped her arms around Eva’s neck and pulled her closer, “Well, look who’s talking!”
“You’re..exaggerating, I’m sure.” Eva muttered.
“I could say the same about you!” Diana exclaimed.
“U..ugh..”
Diana laughed and went in for another kiss. Eva felt the need to hesitate infinitely less than before and almost immediately leaned into it. Each kiss was more intoxicating than the last, and, strangely enough, it left Eva wanting for more. She stiffly moved her hands to Diana’s waist, and then one to her chest.
“Ah..Eva..”
Eva started to squeeze, gently though, she really, really didn’t want to mess this up. She rubbed her pointer finger over where she thought her ‘nub’ might’ve been, since that was one of the most commonly known sensitive parts of the human body. And it seemed to be successful enough, as Diana let out a brief moan. Though, she slapped her hand over her mouth immediately after.
Eva was dumbfounded. Maybe she was better at this sort of thing than she thought. Or maybe Diana was just really sensitive. Probably the latter.
“Ha..haha, that..was a weird noise, huh?” Diana muttered with a beet red face, she seemed almost…embarrassed? Was that truly all it took to embarrass the seemingly unshakable, unbreakable, Diana Venicia? Inconceivable. Surely she was overthinking things.
Eva cleared her throat, “Should I..continue?”
“M–mhm.”
After a bit of hesitance, Eva started rubbing again. Diana’s chest started rising and falling at a faster pace, she’d put her fist over her mouth, probably to avoid making any more noise.
“Eva, could you, hh..take off my..?” Diana seemed to be unable to form a cohesive sentence at the moment, but from what Eva could infer she wanted her to take off something? Maybe her bra?? Was it really okay for her to do that??? Well, if they’d made it this far, maybe , she supposed.
“Eva!” Diana called out, sounding uncharacteristically desperate.
“A–alright!” Panicked, Eva shut her eyes, hurriedly unhooked Diana’s bra, and threw it off to the side. Though, she heard a yelp as she did so. Hesitantly, she opened one of her eyes to see Diana covering her face. She was beautiful–but something felt off.
“I–I meant...lower..” She managed to choke out.
“Oh. Of course.” Eva’s jaw nearly dropped. Okay, that was cool. That was fine, great, in fact. Again, again , three weeks! Three weeks of preparation!
“E-Eva?”
“I–I should probably wash my hands first. So you don’t um…you know, contract a disease, or something..”
Diana’s face flushed, “Oh, yeah, g–good idea. Sorry.”
Eva gave her a quick peck on the lips.
“Berightback.” Eva got off the bed and very stiffly rushed over to their bathroom.
“Ah, Eva, wait–!” She closed the door behind her.
Eva felt her face heat up more and more with every passing second. She truly had no game, “I should probably wash my hands”?? What was she thinking??
Oh, she was a mess. This whole thing was a mess. But it was okay! She could fix it. She would wash her hands, walk out there, and make an attempt to continue where they left off. As if it’d be that easy.
Eva shook it off and washed her hands, and her lipstick covered face, while she was at it. She opened the door and leaned against its frame as nonchalantly as possible, “Hey.”
Diana’s face went from relieved to really flustered in a matter of seconds. Oh god, she’d done it now.
“Eva, you really, really, don’t have to do this if you don’t want to.”
“Uh, huh?” Well she certainly wasn’t expecting that.
“I was just thinking that maybe this is too soon, maybe we’re rushing into things and—and I said I didn’t want that but here I am anyway, rushing into things and dragging you along with me.”
She sighed and grabbed Eva’s hand, “I just…really don’t want to mess this up. I love you, and I’d never, ever want to make you feel like you have to do something you don’t want to, especially when it’s something as important as this.”
After a brief pause, Eva finally replied, “Okay.”
“O-okay?”
“We’re doing this.”
Diana furrowed her eyebrows, confused. “What? But you—”
“I want to do this, I promise you, Diana. I..I love you, and,” Eva looked off to the side, flustered, “I want to make you f..feel good.” It felt really, really, really embarrassing to say out loud but it was an objective truth.
“Plus,” Eva continued, “I kind of like feeling all..vulnerable around you. And that’s new, for both of us, but we’ll get used to it. Eventually.”
After a few more seconds of indecisiveness, Diana finally responded, “Okay.”
“Okay?” Eva repeated.
“Okay.”
Okay. Cool cool cool coolcoolcoolcool.
“I know I already said this, Eva, but...I’m really, really happy that you felt comfortable enough to talk–to do all this. With me. It means a lot.”
“I…of course, it..it means a lot to me, too.”
After a bit of awkward silence, Diana started to take off her stockings. Coolcoolcoolcoolcoolcool. Once Diana laid back down again, Eva attempted to compose herself but it was hard to do that when she was right there .
Hesitantly, she placed a hand on the center of her stomach and traced it down to her hip area. While she did so, a handful of questions came to mind, like, “should she make direct eye contact, or should she avoid it?” Or “were her hands too cold, or just the right temperature? What was the right temperature??”
“Eva, please..”
“R—right.” Shakily, Eva slipped her hand underneath Diana’s skirt and slid her middle finger down directly onto her clit, resulting in a sharp gasp.
Eva flinched, “You alright?”
Diana gave her a nod. Taking that as a sign to keep going, Eva began slowly moving her finger in an up-down motion.
“Is..is this okay?”
“M–mhm, keep..keep going.”
Diana clung to the back of her half-unbuttoned shirt, Eva could hear a few, very intentionally quiet, grunts leave her mouth, it made her feel a little bad because she knew she was trying to avoid a repetition of what happened before. But again, she’d set out to make her girlfriend feel good, so that was precisely what she was going to do. If said girlfriend was okay with it.
Eva moved her hand a little faster, she could feel Diana’s waist squirming underneath her, her hands moving from Eva’s back to behind her head, her fingers brushing through her hair. It all felt so unreal, being so close–both emotionally and physically–to another person. To Diana. It also felt right, stupidly so.
“Eva, I–” Diana whimpered, “I want you, inside..”
Eva’s heart skipped a beat, “In–inside?”
“Please.” she replied in a desperate whisper.
Her hands were clean, her nails were trimmed (in other words, practically bitten off), and Diana had seemed to be more than sufficiently wet. She could do it! In fact, she would do it. She’d slip a finger in (with caution), curve it upwards a bit, and then..
Diana gripped the back of Eva’s hair (not enough for it to hurt) and moaned out in pleasure. Once she ensured she could, Eva stuck a second finger in and began moving in and out at a slow, steady speed. She lightly pressed her thumb onto Diana’s clit to provide further stimulation.
“Ah! Ah, Eva..!!” Diana moved her hands onto the sheets and clutched them tightly as her back began to arch, Eva saw this as an opportunity to try and..multitask. She initiated a few kisses to her neck, then to her collarbone, then down to her breasts. She could sense a shiver against her lips, it made her feel just teensy bit smug. Just a teensy bit though, she was still feeling like she was on the verge of a heart attack.
Eva coyly licked around her nipple with the tip of her tongue, testing the waters, if you will, and started gently sucking. She tasted..lavendary? Eva figured it must’ve been a lotion she was using or something.
“Oh..oh gosh!” She yelped and threw her head back into the pillow it was resting on. Eva could feel Diana clenching around her fingers, which made her wonder if she was doing this right or not. She’d read somewhere on the internet that some women clench when aroused or..”close”. Was that the case with Diana? Was Diana close???
Diana’s hips jerked upwards with a shudder as she climaxed. Her breathing was heavy, ragged, even, and her legs were all shaky and twitchy–a good kind of shaky and twitchy, Eva hoped–so she assumed it’d probably be best to pull out.
“Don’t…don’t stop..” Diana begged in a slothful manner.
“You’re clearly exhausted.” Eva responded bluntly.
Once again, Diana wrapped her arms around Eva’s neck and brought her in closer, “Well, maybe, but I still don’t wanna stop, it’s so early and I haven’t even gotten to do you yet!”
“To do..me?” Eva could feel her face heating up again, did she have to word it like that?? “I—no, you’re tired, and–and besides I-I don’t feel like..like I’m ready for that quite yet.”
“Oh! I’m sorry, got a bit hasty there, haha.”
“It-it has nothing to do with you, by the way, I’m..I’m just—”
Diana gently cupped Eva’s face and swiftly pulled her in for a brief, yet almost magical , kiss.
“I know, Eva.” Those words alone were enough to send chills down her spine. Diana always said her name with so much love and care, it made Eva feel all warm on the inside. She thought she’d be used to the feeling by then, but..
Diana pressed her forehead against Eva’s, “I love you, so, so much..”
“I love you, too.” Eva replied with a smile.
Never in a million years did Eva think she could be this happy, not with someone like Diana Venicia, at least. And hopefully, said happiness would continue for the years to come.
