Part Two

Walking up to the guardpost, she gave her name and whom she was there to visit to the forty something rent a cop. Maybe it was her imagination, but it seemed to Laurie that he was taking his sweet time looking for her name on his clipboard. It was almost as if he knew what she looked like under the coat. He'd checked her out enough times as he kept looking up from the small pad of papers. Finally, he waved her through the small accessway and into the complex.

Tami and her parents lived at the end of Dorchester Road, two blocks into the development. Laurie had no trouble finding it and was reaching for the doorbell a few minutes later. Looking up and down the street, she made sure there was no one around to see her. Then she took off her raincoat and draped it over her arm. As her boyfriend often told her, it didn't hurt to show off the goods.

The door opened wide a moment later, revealing a smiling Tami behind it. She was wearing a Japanese yukata, red with white birds. It was open just enough for Laurie to see she was probably wearing nothing else beneath it. Her short hair was just damp enough to suggest she had just gotten out of a bath or shower.

Before she could say a word, a wall clock behind Tami chimed the hour. The dark haired girl glanced back over her shoulder to note it was exactly eight.

"Well I do have to say," Tami said as she turned back to the girl at her doorstep. "that is a hot outfit. You certainly outdid yourself, but then I knew you would."

The smile on Tami's face irritated Laurie to no end. Even more so was the fact that she hadn't told her to come in yet. Was she waiting until someone saw her standing out on the walk, dressed as she was.

"May I come in?" Laurie finally asked.

"Not yet," Tami replied unexpectedly. "I just want to say something first. When you walk through this door, the game begins. I expect you to play according to the rules. You break the rules and our deal is off. Understand?"

It took a burst of willpower for Laurie not to tell Tami to go fuck herself. How dare she treat her this way. Then she reminded herself that she had a lot riding on this. Of course it never occurred to her that Tami was treating her no differently than she herself had treated so many others.

"I understand," she smiled, a facade that hid her true feelings.

"Then come on in lover," Tami smiled, an expression more real. "I'm always happy to see one of my girlfriends."

As the door closed behind them, Tami took Laurie's raincoat and hung it on a coat tree behind the door. She stepped up close to Laurie and leaned forward to kiss her. It was a brief kiss, almost chaste. The kind Laurie hadn't gotten since the sixth grade. It was just a portent of things to come.

"Would you like a drink?" Tami asked as she led her guest into a large living room.

"Definitely," she answered.

"White wine okay?" Tami asked as she stepped behind a small bar in the corner of the room. "Or would you want something a little stronger?"

Laurie considered asking for something a lot stronger. Anything to make this night go easier. Then she reconsidered, deciding there was such a thing as being too loose.

"White wine will be fine."

As Tami opened a bottle she had taken from the small refrigerator beneath the bar, Laurie noted the large painting hanging on the wall. It depicted a young couple, obviously Mr. and Mrs. Ryan when they were first married. Mr. Ryan was a handsome man, with a carefully trimmed beard and mustache. Mrs. Ryan, the former Miss Tamaguchi, was a very attractive Japanese woman. Both were major participants in community activities and Laurie remembered her mother once saying they had met while Will Ryan had been stationed in Japan.

Beneath the painting was an 11 by 14 photograph of the couple, showing as they looked today. Mr. Ryan had a strong gray streak in his beard, but was still ruggedly handsome. Yukiko Ryan on the other hand, looked like a woman at least ten years younger than Laurie knew her to be.

That was something else she remembered her mother saying. How unfair it was that Asian women aged so much better than most American women. Laurie wondered for a moment if Tami would look so good when she was her mother's age. Certainly, Laurie wasn't looking forward to resembling her mother in twenty years time.

"Here you go," Tami smiled as she handed Laurie her glass of wine.

Laurie took a quick drink. It was much too fast and she choked a little on it as it went down the wrong pipe.

"Easy," Tami cautioned. "I wouldn't want you to choke. Although it might be fun giving you mouth to mouth," she added with a grin.

"So what do we do?" Laurie asked as she got her voice back, having an image in her head of being made to get down on all fours and licking Tami to orgasm.

"I thought we could loosen up a little with a nice soak in the hot tub," Tami offered. "We just had it put in last month and it's to die for."

"I didn't bring a suit," Laurie said off the top of her head.

"Don't be silly," Tami said as she took a sip of her own drink. "It's much more relaxing if you don't wear one."

Giving in to the inevitable, Laurie followed Tami out through a large sliding door into the yard. She was surprised how large the backyard was. From the outside, it didn't look half as big.

The hot tub was also quite large, with room for at least six. When you walked out of Tami's house, you stepped onto a wooden deck. The tub was built into the deck so you could sit and just slide into it. Laurie also noticed that between the high custom made fence and thick foliage up against it, the yard was a very private place.

"There's a little shower over there in the corner where you can rinse off," Tami said as she pointed to the simple showerhead. "I've just gotten out of the bath."

Laurie handed Tami her still half full glass of wine and stepped over to the shower area. It was a simple thing really, the sort of thing you'd see at a beach. Just enough to rinse off your body. Laurie had taken a shower earlier when she was getting dressed, but it was only good manners to at least rinse off. After all, the hot tub was for relaxation, not washing.

The tall dark haired girl took off her socks and sneakers laying them on the shelf built into the wall. She undid the knot of her blouse and began to undo the buttons. Reminded that she had nothing on beneath it, Laurie paused when she reached the middle button. She suddenly felt self conscious.

"This is silly," she thought as she glanced over her shoulder at Tami, wondering if she was watching her undress. "She's seen me shower every week in gym."

The difference, Laurie then realized, was that in the school showers, no one was looking at her with lust in their eyes. At least no one she was aware of -- until now.

Off came the white blouse, exposing her large breasts to the night air. Laurie was surprised to find her nipples taut and erect. As if she was excited by what was happening. Her shorts followed her blouse, finding a place next to her sneakers on the shelf. Stepping under the showerhead, she was sure that Tami must be staring at her by now.

To her surprise, Tami wasn't even looking in her direction. Instead, she was adjusting the water temperature of the tub. It turned out to be Laurie doing the staring as she watched Tami carefully take off her yukata and slip naked into the tub.

Shutting off the water, Laurie walked to the edge of the hot tub. Only then did Tami look up and take in her nudity. Sipping her wine, she smiled and simply said, "Won't you join me?"

Laurie dropped down and eased herself into the warm water. She had to admit, it felt very good as the heat of the tub was transmitted to her body. Stretching out her legs, the brunette slid over to the far side of the tub opposite Tami.

"This isn't too bad," Laurie thought to herself as she reached over and picked up her own wine glass and took a long drink from it.

The two teenagers sat there for a few minutes, enjoying both the warmth of the water against their skin and the wine inside of them. Laurie could feel Tami's eyes on her and had to admit a certain curiosity about the body of the girl across from her as well.

Not that she or any of her friends would ever admit it, they always checked out the bodies of other girls in their classes. Or more precisely, those girls they considered competition. Competition being defined by them as girls with hot enough bodies to steal their boyfriends. With her smaller frame and androgynous looks, Tami had never been considered one of them. Looking at her now, Laurie considered that their definition of a hot body might have to be redefined.

Laurie herself easily fell into the old definition. Her large breasts and tight ass capped a figure that drew men like honey. Those few fortunate enough, at least in her opinion, to see her as naked she was now, found large bright pink nipples and a heavy thick pubic bush.

Tami, on the other hand, had diminutive, compact breasts with dark, equally small nipples. Her lean athletic body was sexy in a way Laurie hadn't considered before. Between the smaller girl's legs was the skimpiest of reddish brown triangles. In fact, aside from her short boyish hair, the Amerasian was almost hairless.

"Comfortable?" Tami asked as she put her glass down on the wooden deck.

"Oh yes," Laurie said, surprised at how comfortable she felt, given the circumstances. "You were so right when you said this hot tub was to die for."

"I'm so glad you're comfortable," Tami smiled with anticipation as she moved across the wide tub and took Laurie's glass from her hand, laying it down near hers. "Cause now it's time to play."

Without warning, Tami grabbed Laurie and kissed her. The sudden press of her lips against Laurie's mouth was unexpected, but far from unpleasant. With girls kissing girls all over the television screen the last few years, Laurie sometimes wondered what it might be like.

She found herself kissing Tami back, parting her lips to admit the Amerasian's darting tongue as strong arms embraced her. The tips of her nipples tingled with excitement as Tami pressed her wet body hard against her.

The kiss seemed endless, filled with a warmth and fiery passion that few of her boyfriends, and there had been many over the years since she'd started dating in her early teens, could have matched. Repeatedly Tami's mouth sought out Laurie's, and it wasn't long before the reverse began to become true as well.

"This is nice," Laurie admitted to herself as their lips met once more.

Tami didn't give Laurie a chance to rest, turning her attention to the brunette's large breasts. Wet kisses covered equally wet flesh as Tami's hands cupped each mound, squeezing the soft flesh and massaging Laurie's thick nipples.

"Oooooo," Laurie cried at the smaller girl's touch.

An eager mouth closed on the large nipple of her left mound, replacing Tami's hand. A deft tongue playing across the pink flesh like a skilled artist's tool, producing a range of sensations that made Laurie want to melt.

Laurie had first let a boy reach under her blouse when she was thirteen years old. Since then, her well endowed bust had been the constant goal of every guy she'd dated. What had also become almost a constant was that few guys knew exactly what to do when they'd achieved that goal. It didn't take Laurie long to decide that Tami knew exactly what to do.

Tami's free hand disappeared beneath the water, coming to rest between Laurie's legs. In no time at all, Laurie was on the receiving end of pleasure from that avenue as well.

"Feels nice, doesn't it, Sugar?" Tami said as she came up for air, her talented fingers continuing their ministrations.

"Oh yes," Laurie panted, her breaths coming in short gasps as waves of delight echoed through her body.

"That's great," Tami grinned, "cause now it's your turn to make me feel good, lover."

Breaking all contact with Laurie, Tami lifted herself out of the hot tub. Her wet ass landed on the wood deck with a resounding splat as she spun herself around at the last moment. A smile of anticipation filled her face as she moved a little closer to the edge of the tub and spread her legs wide. The invitation she presented was impossible to misunderstand.

"I guess it's time to pay for that report," Laurie thought as she moved closer to the pearl between Tami's legs.

She reached out with her hand, gently stroking the almost hairless mound with her fingers. Twenty four hours ago, she couldn't have imagined herself about to put her mouth on another girl's pussy. You might as well have told her she was going to spread her own legs for that dorky kid that lived next store. The one who was always trying to get a look at her boobs. Yet, now that she found herself in that unimaginable position, she found it strangely exciting.

She might never have gotten here on her own, she told herself as her fingers slid up and down Tami's pussy, but as long as she was here, why not make the most of it.

Lesbianism was a topic that was never discussed among her friends, unless it was to make a joke about it. Yet at the same time, it was a subject that generated a great deal of curiosity. She remembered a few months ago when they had that lesbian movie on cable. The one with all the big name actresses. There was a lot of talk among her friends about what a piece of trash it was and how could they put something like that on TV.

How could those women who starred in it, at least the straight ones, get naked and roll in the sheets with another woman for everyone to see. The funniest thing about the film, Laurie now thought, was that despite all of the negative comments and objections, not one of her friends had not watched it.

"It could be worse," Laurie said to herself as she leaned forward to replace her fingers with her lips, "it could be old man McKenzie's cock."

With a burning curiosity, Laurie pressed her lips against Tami's sex, gently slipping her tongue between her lips as she did. She was immediately taken by the sweetness of Tami's natural juices. Her heart beat with excitement as she moved her tongue back and forth.

Her thoughts flashed back to when she was just beginning to get into sex with guys and the advice her older sister had given her in preparation for her first blowjob. Just close your eyes and do it, she had said. Don't take the time to think about it at all. Before you know it, it will seem like the most natural thing in the world.

Thinking that the advice held equally true in this circumstance as well, Laurie threw herself into it. She knew what felt good on her own body, so it had to hold true for Tami as well. She slid an already lubricated finger deep into the lightly haired folds, gliding it back and forth as she followed the motion with the movements of her tongue.

Just as it had happened the first time she'd taken Bobby Winger's cock into her mouth, Laurie concentrated on what she was doing without thinking about what she was doing. Her tongue and fingers slid in and out of the girl sitting above her, quickly producing a reaction from her efforts.

"Oh that's nice," Tami said as she arched back to give Laurie better access to her charms. "Very nice indeed. Are you sure you haven't done this before?" she laughed.

The dark haired brunette didn't really hear the comment or the laughter, concentrating her attention instead on developing a technique as she went. As it had the first time she'd gone down on a guy, the reality of what she was doing finally caught up with her.

There was no denying it, even to herself. Laurie Murdock, Queen of the in crowd herself, was deeply involved in a lesbian act. The real shocker, was that she was really beginning to get into it.

Pressing her face harder against Tami's pussy, Laurie finally found her rhythm. Her tongue flew back and forth, up and down. She quickly discovered the small nub that was the shorter girl's clitoris and took every opportunity to caress it. The result of which produced increasing encouragements from Tami.

As hard as Laurie was trying and as nice as it felt, it was obvious to Tami that it was still an amateurish attempt and wouldn't likely lead to an orgasm. And in all honesty, she really didn't care.

The excitement of just having Laurie between her legs was more than enough for her. Besides, there was more on the itinerary for this evening that she knew would get the both of them off soon enough.

"That's it baby," Tami said as she vibrated her body in response to Laurie's actions, "suck my pussy. Use that tongue, it feels so, so good."

Laurie Murdock, pussy licker. If her friends could only see her now, Laurie thought. Then she added, what the hell, I've done this much, might as well go for it all.

Laurie lifted herself up out of the water and brought her attentions to Tami's smaller breasts. Her lips closed on the small dark brown nipples, her tongue moving with the fires of undimmed desire. She sucked hard on the small tips, treating each as she knew she liked her own nipples sucked. Holding it between her teeth, she softly bit it as well.

"Oh yes," a surprised Tami called out, demonstrating that she had something else in common with Laurie after all. "Oh baby, yes, suck my tits!"

Laurie pressed her face between the small globes, covering the wet flesh with hot kisses. Her hands squeezed the rounded flesh, guiding it to her mouth again and again.

Tami was overjoyed at how much Laurie was really getting into what was happening. She'd long believed you could take the straightest of girls and once you got her going, she'd become the biggest lesbian slut around. At least for the moment. By tomorrow, she would undoubtedly be denying, even to herself, that anything had passed between them. If that was to be the case, then so be it, Tami thought. She would settle for the here and now.

They engaged in another round of hot kisses, even more passionate than the first. With both of them out of the water, Tami laid Laurie out on the hard wood deck and lifted her tanned legs far apart.

Without hesitation, she dove between those legs and began to teach Laurie what pussy licking was really all about. In no time at all, she convinced the taller girl that every guy who had been there before Tami knew absolutely nothing about pleasing a woman.

"Omigod!" Laurie called out as she felt waves of passion washing over her body faster than she could've imagined possible.

Tami's tongue seemed to be everywhere at once, her fingers moving with the deft motions of a surgeon. Never in her life had she felt this good. Never had she wanted to come so much.

Her surroundings faded from her view as all she became aware of was the ecstasy coming from between her legs. Laurie no longer cared about her friends finding out, about the research paper, or the trip to Europe. All she cared about was having an orgasm.

With the racing of her heart, and the thundering of her breaths, it took a few seconds for Laurie to realize that Tami was no longer between her legs. That the wonderful ripples cascading through her sweat covered body were beginning to subside. In a panic, she opened her eyes and practically jumped up to a sitting position.

"What's wrong?" she asked a now standing Tami.

"Nothing's wrong," Tami said as she walked over to where Laurie had left her clothing and picked the bundle up. "We're done."

"Done?" Laurie repeated in disbelief.

"Yes, done," Tami repeated as well. "You've fulfilled your end of the bargain. The research paper is yours. You'll find it on the small table by the front door."

"But I haven't ... I mean we're not ..." Laurie stammered.

"You mean you haven't come yet?" Tami said, finishing Laurie's sentence. "Who said that was part of the deal?"

"God, what a bitch!" Laurie thought to herself.

Then a moment later reversed herself when she realized that Tami was acting in exactly the way she had acted herself so many times. In fact, Laurie had done a lot worse. How many guys had she gotten all worked up, only to send them home to jerk off in their bathrooms?

"Of course," Tami smiled after a long pause, "if you'd like to finish what we started, well I'm open to that idea as well."

Laurie was surprised at how much excitement hearing that from Tami generated within herself. She couldn't remember the last time she'd been this hot and horny.

"But of course if we did that, you couldn't say to yourself tomorrow that you did it all for the term paper," Tami said as she walked around the deck, her nude and sweaty form glistening in the mixture of moonlight and the small garden lamps. "You'd have to admit, if only to yourself, that you went to bed with another woman because it was what you wanted to do. No one forced you. It would have to be that you wanted to stay and be with me."

That caused Laurie to hesitate a little. She hadn't really considered that. Even if none of her friends ever knew what happened tonight, she always would. Up to now, it would be easy enough to put it all down as something she had to do to get something she really needed. There had been enough guys over the years that she'd fucked for no other reason than to get something. Now there was no way she could use that justification.

"So what's it going to be, sweetcheeks," Tami asked as she stopped a few feet in front of a still sitting Laurie. "It's beginning to get a little cold out here. What's it going to be, go or stay?"

Laurie took a long deep breath as she looked up at Tami's naked body. She never wanted anything, or anyone so much. Opening her mouth slowly, she said, "Stay."

Tami didn't say a word. Instead, she dropped the pile of clothes and closed the few steps that separated her from Laurie, holding out her hand as she moved. Laurie took it hand and rose to her feet. Their lips met and their arms closed tight around each other. They stood there silently for long moments, sharing the heat of their bodies.

Still not saying a word, Tami led Laurie, who now had picked up the bundle of clothes, back into the house and down the hall to her bedroom. Tami's bedroom wasn't much different than Laurie's own. Which meant that it didn't have the walls covered with lesbian power posters that she might have previously expected.

Kissing Laurie again, Tami eased her onto the large king size bed that dominated the room. She lay on top of her and pressed their bodies together, the tips of their breasts touching and growing hard once more.

Tami slid her leg between Laurie's, rubbing it against her still wet pussy. The hard, pleasing pressure brought a quiet moan from the girl on the bottom.

"You have such a hot body," Tami said as she rubbed her fingers across Laurie's breasts. "It didn't matter to me that you were such a teasing, selfish bitch. I can't tell you how many nights I laid in this bed and dreamed you were here with me. How many times I brought myself to orgasm and imagined it was you here with me. That it was you I was making love to."

It had been a long time since a lover had spoken to Laurie in such a way. Each word, each touch, caused her temperature to rise just a little bit more.

"You're still so wet," Tami said as she slid her hand down Laurie's body, stopping between her legs.

"I'm wet for you," Laurie replied.

"You like the feel of a man inside you, don't you?" Tami asked as she changed the subject yet again, sliding a finger inside of Laurie and rubbing her gently.

"Yes, I do," she admitted as her body reacted to Tami's touch.

"Is it better than how it feels when I'm inside of you?"

"Not better, just different," Laurie said in a rare display of diplomacy.

"But you miss being penetrated, don't you?" Tami went on, her fingers still working their magic.

"Yes," Laurie had to admit.

"Good," Tami beamed.
