After grabbing towels and quickly drying off, they didn't stop until they reached the side of Jess's bed.
Jess thought she saw a bit of hesitancy mixed in with the arousal in Kim's eyes. How can you blame her after you flew off the couch when she kissed you. Jess pushed away the memory. She refused to let anything spoil this moment between them.
She leaned forward and softly kissed Kim's neck. When Kim tilted her head, she smiled into the kiss. Trailing kisses down Kim's neck, she stopped to nip at her pulse point.
"God, Jess. Kiss me." Kim pressed closer and put her hands on Jess's towel-covered hips.
"I am."
Kim pulled her neck away from Jess's mouth. "Kiss me. Please."
Jess opened her stance and drew Kim against her body. She pressed her lips to Kim's and groaned when Kim opened to her.
She wasn't sure how long they stood by the bed and kissed. As wonderful as it was, she wanted more. After denying for so long that she could have this type of relationship with Kim, now that she could, she wanted it all. Her hands roamed restlessly up and down Kim's back. She broke away from Kim's mouth and kissed her way up to her ear. "I need to touch you. Please let me touch you?"
Kim took Jess's face between her palms. Her passion-dark eyes bore into Jess's. "Make love to me."
Her heart soared at the trust in Kim's gaze. Jess reached for the towel wrapped around Kim and gently tugged it loose. It dropped to the floor, already forgotten.
Jess reached for the strap of Kim's suit, then hesitated. "May I?"
Kim nodded.
Slowly peeling the suit down Kim's body as if she was unwrapping a precious gift, Jess admired every inch of bared skin. She paused often along the way to brush her fingers over a tantalizing soft spot or along a tempting curve.
Kim's breath hitched with each feathery touch.
The suit joined the towel and Kim stepped out of it.
Jess softly ran her fingers down the midline of Kim's body. Kim arched into the touch. "You are exquisite," Jess said, her voice low and husky with arousal.
A beautiful flush worked its way down Kim's chest to her rosy nipples.
"Sit on the side of the bed for me?" Jess asked.
Kim sat down and looked up at Jess.
Jess pulled off her towel and let it fall to floor but kept on her suit. She dropped to her knees in front of Kim. "I've wanted this... wanted you, for months," Jess said. She could see the surprise in Kim's eyes and smiled. "It's true." Laying warm hands on Kim's thighs, she began to stroke the silky-smooth skin.
Kim ran her fingers tenderly through Jess's hair. "I've wanted you too, Jess." She allowed Jess to spread her legs.
Jess's heart tripped double time at the sight of the treasure laid bare before her. She moved between Kim's legs. Her hands slid up and cupped full breasts. She ran her thumbs back and forth over the already taut nipples. So beautiful.
Kim leaned forward and pressed herself into Jess's hands, her pulse already skyrocketing.
This is heaven. Jess lavished Kim's breasts with kisses before taking one of her nipples into her mouth and suckling.
"God." Kim put her hand on the back of Jess's head. She tugged Jess's hand off her other breast and pressed it between her legs.
Jess moaned at the slick heat that greeted her fingers. Stroking through the soaking wetness, she struggled to stave off her rising passions. Her own hips surged forward and pushed her hand more firmly against Kim.
Kim gasped and her pelvis began to rock.
Jess pulled back.
"Why did you stop?" Kim whimpered and tried to guide Jess's hand back between her legs.
She looked into Kim's wide pleading eyes. "I'll take care of you. I promise." Jess moved back a little more and urged Kim to spread her legs farther open.
"Let me taste you?" Jess asked. Her own thighs clenched at the very thought. "Please."
Kim's response was a throaty groan. Her hands gripped the comforter as if she was hanging on for dear life.
Using her thumbs, Jess opened Kim and then dipped her head for her first taste. Perfect. Just perfect. Kim's hips bucked in her face. Never ceasing her explorations, she used her forearms to press down on Kim's thighs. Kim was close. Jess could feel it in the pulsing of her clit against her tongue. She closed her lips around Kim's clit and gently sucked.
Kim let out an inarticulate cry and dropped backward onto the bed. Her climax struck a moment later. Her back arched bowstring tight for just a moment, then she slumped.
Jess continued to lick her gently until Kim's body went completely limp and the tension left her thighs. Her own arousal was beating an insistent pulse between her legs, but she refused to give in to it.
A soft warm smile graced Kim's flushed face when she finally lifted her head. She held out her hand to Jess. "Join me?"
Jess nodded. She stood and started to take Kim's hand, then hesitated. Go the rest of the way. Don't be a coward and ruin things now.
Kim's expression fell and she sat up.
This is Kim. You can do this. Jess smiled, trying to ease Kim's mind. Taking a deep breath, she reached for the straps of her suit. Hyperaware of Kim's gaze on her, she quickly pulled the suit off.
She joined Kim on the bed, and together they scooted into the middle. Jess lay on her back and opened her arms. Kim snuggled against her side and let out a long sigh.
Despite the renewed throb between her thighs at the feel of Kim's nude body pressed to hers, Jess was filled with a contentment she could not remember ever experiencing before.

After several minutes of contented bliss, Kim roused herself. Jess's hand stroking slowly up and down her back was lulling her to sleep.
Wouldn't do to fall asleep. Very déclassé. Especially after Jess got down on her knees and fairly worshiped you. It had been a unique experience. Never had a lover been so solicitous and careful with her. The look in Jess's eyes and her soft, tender touches had made Kim feel wanted down to her very soul.
Lifting up, Kim gazed down at Jess's beautiful face. Jess's eyes slowly opened. She smiled into silvery-blue eyes. Unable to resist, she leaned in and kissed Jess's soft lips.
Jess hummed into the kiss and opened to Kim.
Kim shifted closer as she pressed her tongue into Jess's mouth. The taste of herself on Jess's lips sent her arousal soaring. She put her hand on Jess's bare belly and started to slide her hand up.
Jess stiffened.
Damn. You know you can't treat her like your other lovers. Kim pulled back, breaking the kiss. She remained on her side but moved far enough away to break all body contact between them. "Sorry."
"No." Jess turned on her side and drew her knees up. She draped one arm across her breasts. "You didn't do anything wrong. I'm sorry. I... I want you to touch me... but..." Jess glanced away. "I don't know if I can let you," she whispered.
Oh Jess. Seeing Jess, normally so confident, looking so unsure and vulnerable broke Kim's heart. How can I fix this? She wanted their first time together to be as special for Jess as Jess had made it for her.
That was when inspiration struck. Jess had given her the clue she needed when she made love to her. I can give her this. "It's okay, Jess."
Jess's gaze remained fixed on the comforter. "No. It isn't —"
Kim put her finger on Jess's lips. "Yes, it is." She stroked Jess's cheek. "Please look at me." It took a moment, but Jess finally looked up. Kim gazed deep into her eyes, willing Jess to believe her. "I understand. Whatever you need. It's okay. Trust me." She sat up and positioned herself so that she was on her knees near Jess, but not touching her.
"Sit up against the headboard for me. Please." She could read the confusion on Jess's face, but she did as Kim asked. "If you'll let me, I'd like to try something. If you get the least bit uncomfortable, I'll stop. Okay?"
