Somehow Bette understood the question.  “Harder?”

“Yes, yes, yes.  Harder.  Harder.”

Bette pushed in deeper, then moved forward.  Something told her to curl her fingers and massage the spongy patch she discovered.  When she did, Gail’s fluid poured down Bette’s fingers and Gail grasped Bette tightly, holding on as her rocking increased.  Briefly Bette thought, *so this is *****; this is lovemaking.*

Not long after, Gail’s climax shook their bodies and it was all Bette could do to hang on.  Slowly, Gail pushed herself off of Bette’s legs and collapsed beside her.  “Jesus, Joseph, and Mary.”

Alice stared at Bette dumbfounded. 

“What?”

“You never tell me anything and then you hit me with all of this.”  Alice rolled over onto her back and stared at the ceiling.  “Jeez, I don’t know anyone who had a teacher.  Bette, she was your friggin’ ***** mentor.  Nobody gets that lucky.”

“I know.  Funny, huh?”  Bette yawned and stood up.  She was going to get sober if it meant staying up all night and drinking coffee.  She wasn’t going to fall asleep drunk and wake up with a hangover.  “I’m making some coffee.  Want some?”

Alice stretched.  “No, thanks.  So, that was your first time?  No wonder you’re *****.”

“She was awesome.”

“Damn.  Me and the bass player were just totally winging it the whole time.  I think she even put her fingers in the wrong hole a couple of times.”

“Spare me, that, Al.”  Bette started the coffeemaker.

“Yeah, but Bette.  You’ve spent the last few hours talking about eating *****.  I mean, she did you, but when did you gain your unbelievable proficiency?”

Bette laughed while pulling a mug from the cupboard.  Alice had been a fun lover, but that’s all she had been.  Both women knew that their physical relationship wouldn’t last because outside of the bedroom, they were just better friends than lovers.  Al was far too ditzy for Bette and Alice thought Bette needed to bring her intensity level down a few notches.  “I didn’t tell you?”  Bette paused to look at Alice before adding, “About two minutes later.”
