Dana pressed her whole body against Alice’s. Her both strong arms stayed with and on Alice’s arms. With a focused determination, Dana held the racket over Alice’s hands, bent the two bodies together and made a forehand hit as if there was an actual ball. The invisible ball went far away but the bodies stayed pressed.

And then… And then the time stopped.

*****

They forgot where they were, how and why the ***** their bodies pressed against each other.

For Alice it was totally uncalled for, strong arms covering all of her so tight that she could not move. Not that she would want to Goose bumps appeared out of nowhere embarrassingly, making their presence known like an evidence for whatever was happening.

Suddenly she felt like she had lost all the control over her senses. Her breathing became faster and more obvious. Her knees started to feel like jello like she could collapse in any second but somehow she stood still. Gripping the racket even tighter, she commanded her each part of her body to hold on and not to fall apart.

She felt a breeze brushing against her left ear which was not a breeze at all: it was an aching breath out of Dana’s mouth. The air brushed her ear like a kiss with the most innocent intentions, yet provoking the opposite reaction. A silent devilish prayer promoting to have, to have it all. Right then and there; like there’s no tomorrow. That cool air filled her entire body starting from up to bottom; to her smallest toe in the far end.

The two figures could not be any more closer; shoulder to shoulder, back to *****, even their legs longed together in synch. Clothes unnecessarily blocked their skin from touching, yet the wetness on them from sweat felt sexier more than anything. The feel of Dana’s chin over her shoulder, Dana’s ***** becoming alive on her back drove Alice wild.

Alice felt her blood rushing all over her body waking up each nerve, hair, practically every cell on her being. She sunk into the feeling while closing her eyes and tried to enjoy every milli-second of the moment ‘cos God knew it wouldn’t last forever.

The stupid racket!!!! Alice wished Dana would throw it away roughly and wrap her up with her strong arms and maybe slipped her determined fingers wandering around her abdomen. And then who knew?

She was slowly losing herself, she mustered all of her power to stand still and not to faint. Not to face and surrender to Dana, giving everything she had to offer.

Dana was not doing any better either. First thing she noticed was her uncontrollable heavy breathing because of the excitement that washed over her instantly. She pressed harder into Alice to gain some balance and was that a bad idea!!! Her senses were on full alert, ready to fight for release of any kind.

Coconut smell of Alice’s hair filled Dana’s nose, unexpectedly intoxicating and arousing. She tilted her head a little to escape this torture only to meet Alice’s perfume on her neck mixed with her skin smell and sweat. Knowing too well that it was a bad idea, she inhaled this delicious mixture as deeply as she could.

Dana felt a primal urge that she has never felt before. To touch, to kiss, to suck, to even *****. Her lips were dry, energy was radiating all over her body. The small figure before her was all that she suddenly wanted. Her ***** were rock hard and started to ache from the pain if that was possible. She was impossibly wet.

Then magically, all the lights were off to inform that their time is up. The two figures were standing in the dark, and could almost be misread as one.

They both knew the moment was nearly over. Dana smelled Alice’s every scent one last time and Alice relaxed one last time under Dana’s arms before she started to move unwillingly. Dana instantly loosened the grip and turned back.

Alice bit her lower lip, what just happened made no sense at all. It could be a moment of attraction but that did not explain why she still felt Dana’s round ***** over her back, her long arms barely touching her waist. She could even swear she felt Dana’s nipples harden through
both of their shirts.

Dana moved around the court to collect rest of the tennis balls. She hated doing that: collecting the balls after exercise but now she was thankful for this routine. She had to stay away from Alice, not just to kill this awkward mood but also to understand what happened. Unsuccessfully, all she thought about was what ‘did not’ happen. How she ‘did not’ grab Alice’s neck with her palm. How she ‘did not’ slip her free hand over Alice’s right shoulder to caress her left breast. How she ‘did not’ press herself into Alice’s neck to steal hungry kisses.

After collecting all the balls, Dana walked towards Alice. She carefully calculated the space between them. “Shall we?” she pointed at the court door. Her voice sounded abnormal.

“Sure” Alice answered. She tried to sound casual but it was anything but casual, “Lead the way” she continued.

Dana did. Then she exhaled loudly.
