When they reached the door to the bedroom, Dana used one arm to hold
Alice at the waist and the other to push the door open for them.
Sensing that this was starting to become yet another familiar foray of
*****, Dana decided that she would have to slow the pace down before
they entered the room. Otherwise, no amount of exerted control and
clarity would allow them to be able to explore this new way of being
together. Parting her lips ever so slightly away from Alice, yet still
touching, she breathed and spoke into her open mouth, “Al… slow down
…slow …down.” Once the blonde could control her breathing again,
Dana took her hand and led her inside and onto the bed.

She motioned for Alice to sit at the foot of the bed for a moment.
Alice watched Dana with eyes dark with desire, mystified at what the
brunette was going to do next but, at the same time, not wanting to
miss a thing. Dana, still standing on her feet, bent her knees and
leaned down to whisper in the blonde’s ears.

“Just… wait here, for one second.” She whispered hurriedly, not
wanting to lose the mood of the moment, “I just… I want this to be
perfect.” Alice caressed her face with the back of her right hand and
met her eyes, nodding in silent agreement.

She tried her best to contain herself, because she really did want this
to be perfect. Dana turned towards Alice’s bookshelf and searched for a
cd she’d had her eyes on for a while and had just recently hoped to use
it for this occasion. Finally finding the red label with the words “I
Love Dana Mix” written on it, she inserted the cd into the player and
turned back to face Alice as the first song started. Al had told her
once the reason behind the name. She’d explained that the songs on the
mix cd reminded her of Dana and what she felt for her. And how just
hearing the songs made her heart flutter.


//You’ve got a way
with me

Somehow you got me to believe//

Dana was witnessing this effect now as Alice sat on the bed looking at her with an unwavering gaze.


/In everything that I could be

I gotta say, you really got a way//

Dana walked towards Alice, causing her to move back as she climbed onto
the bed on her knees, between the blonde’s legs, which were spread
apart in anticipation for her. Alice’s mouth hung open, awaiting the
moment when Dana’s lips would be on hers again. But Dana knew this had
to be different. It wasn’t just doing what she knew Alice wanted her to
do. It’s saying what she knew Alice wanted to hear and making Alice
feel exactly how she felt.
