Holly awoke, unsure when sleep had finally come, to find herself still tangled up in Gail. Neither of them had moved much during their few hours of rest, except now Gail was laying slightly on top of her, legs entwined, and somehow her arm had found its way under Holly’s shirt and was wrapped around Holly’s bare ribs. The slight contact of Gail’s arm brushing up against the underside of Holly’s breasts made Holly’s mouth go dry. She found that she could scarcely dare to breathe. Ok, so she could finally admit it, if only to herself, she was falling hard. Still holding this woman who, in such a short amount of time had become so precious to her, she sighed and closed her eyes. Gail grumbled, shifted slightly, and pulled her in tighter.

Holly opened her eyes to find Gail watching her with wide, trusting, blue eyes that sent a physical shock through her entire body.

”Good Morning” she murmured

’Good Morning” Gail whispered back, the most adorable tiny hint of a smile playing around her lips.

And then Gail tilted her head up and kissed her on the lips without bothering to unwind from their embrace. It was a warm slow kiss that lingered for several heartbeats, full of promise.

”Um, Gail..” Holly began

’I don’t ever want to move,” murmured Gail, snuggling closer and nuzzling Holly’s neck in a way that made it difficult to think, or form words.

”Um, Gail…” She tried again, heart pounding loudly against her ribs.

Gail shifted her weight slightly so it rested between Holly’s legs, making Holly gasp involuntarily. She nuzzled Holly’s neck again, and bit her gently on the ear, making Holly moan softly and her mind go blank. That moan made Gail’s stomach do something funny, like it did on the first big hill of a rollercoaster, and caused a sudden gush of wetness between her legs. She could feel herself begin to tremble as Holly ran her hands down the length of her body and then back up under her shirt, leaving a trail of fire on her skin.

”Um, Gail…” gasped Holly, pulling away slightly, completely out of breath, ”What are you doing?”

Gail answered this query by kissing Holly hard, tongue and teeth fully engaged. She suddenly knew exactly what it meant to feel like she was about to explode as Holly responded by arching her back, grinding her pelvis into Gail’s, while moaning softly, and tangling her fingers in Gail’s thick, blonde hair.
