“To fresh starts.”

Kim blushed at the compliment as they sat down together on the couch. So far the evening had been perfect. Dinner had come off without a hitch thanks to Kim scouring several cooking Web sites.

“I’m glad you enjoyed it. Can I get you anything else? More wine? Some tea.”

Kerry curled one leg up under herself and then placed a hand on Kim’s leg.

“No, I’m fine.”

Suddenly Kim felt like she was back in college and preparing for the first time she ever slept with a woman.

This is insane. You’ve done this. In fact you’ve done this more times than you care to admit to yourself or Kerry. You want this. She wants this. Don’t fuck it up.

“Kerry …”

“Hmmm?”

Without responding Kim placed a hand on the back of Kerry’s neck and pulled her closer, kissing her gently at first and then starting to explore the other woman’s mouth with her tongue.

Kerry ran her fingers through Kim’s long, blond locks, losing herself in the kiss. She didn’t even realize she was doing it, but the next thing Kerry knew she had unbuttoned Kim’s blouse and began removing it.

Kim followed her lead and relieved Kerry of her own top. They continued kissing as they maneuvered to unhook each other’s bras. Kim found Kerry’s breasts and started massaging them, the red head’s nipples responding immediately.

Kim’s mouth traveled down Kerry’s cheek and settled on the pulse in her neck, sucking and licking gently. She hoped that she wouldn’t leave a mark, but at the moment she didn’t really care that much about the after affects of her actions. She continued even as she felt Kerry’s hands undoing the buttons and zipper on her slacks, and she moaned against Kerry’s neck.

Kerry’s hands moved down and around to begin caressing Kim’s buttocks, which spurred the blond to slowly push Kerry back on the couch.

“Wait.”

Kim looked into her companion’s eyes wondering what the problem was.

“Not here,” Kerry replied. “Take me to bed. I don’t want us fumbling around on your couch.”

Kim responded immediately, helping Kerry up and supporting her as they made their way to the bedroom. Once there she stepped out of her pants and panties and helped Kerry out of hers.
