----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Letting go of the last remnants of a pleasant dream, Amy Reynolds opened her eyes. With a deep and contented breath, she glanced around her bedroom, the early morning light trickling in around the edges of the window curtain to cast a faint, warm glow that made it just bright enough to see. The sun outside and the radiator heat would warm up the rest of the apartment soon enough, and on this particular morning, Amy was in no rush to get out of bed. She couldn’t hear Lauren outside passively making noise, waiting for breakfast, meaning she could take her time.
One look at the girl nestled into her side was all Amy needed to remember that she had everything she needed right here. Wrapped up in JoBeth’s embrace, Amy felt her girlfriend’s warm breath against her chest and she couldn’t help a smile for how adorable the brunette was. It felt wonderful just to wake up next to her and have her as the first thing she saw each day. JoBeth had taken to spending the night here with her on the weekends as often as they could manage, off and on between the nights she spent over at JoBeth’s dorm, and while Amy had always liked her bed before, something about it felt even better, close to perfect, to have the ponytailed brunette in it with her.
So far as she was concerned, JoBeth was amazing, and now that she was in her life, Amy hoped she’d never have to be without her. That JoBeth seemed to feel the same way about her was magnificent, and here at the apartment, they could relax, unworried about anyone’s misinterpretations. The innocent and even suggestive little smiles in class had turned into brighter smiles that Amy had never seen before from JoBeth, and to know that they were for her and because of her only made her love her more.
Stealing a glance over at the clock on her nightstand, Amy was glad for these lazy weekends when they could spend time together as they saw fit, with no need of an alarm. Finals were still a few weeks off and she was mostly caught up on papers herself, leaving them plenty of time to find a few more fun things to do after what little work they had left was finished off. Until then, Amy planned to take full advantage of JoBeth’s company while she could, and with a small smile, she figured that JoBeth wouldn’t mind doing the same in return.
Tousling her fingers through JoBeth’s hair affectionately, Amy rested her head against JoBeth’s, perfectly happy to wait and let her wake up on her own. It was only a few minutes later that she felt JoBeth stretching out a little bit under the covers before giving her a gentle squeeze of her own.
“Mmmh…” JoBeth sighed quietly, rubbing her eyes for a moment, the haze of sleep slowly relinquishing its hold over her. When Amy returned her squeeze and kissed her forehead, her smile only widened. “Aims,” she purred happily, starting to draw small circles with the tip of her finger over Amy’s chest and basking in that familiar and blissful glow that spread over her every morning she woke up in the arms of the girl she’d fallen in love with.
“Morning,” Amy replied, barely holding back a wide grin of her own and a chuckle at the slightly tickling feeling of JoBeth’s fingertip. She’d learned that it was one of several things that JoBeth did whenever she was comfortable and happy, and Amy had come to love that feeling; as much as it made her want to squirm, it was a feeling that she had no desire to stop.
Feeling Amy shiver slightly at her touch, JoBeth’s grin spread a little wider at knowing how good she made Amy feel. She hoped that the blonde felt as good and as loved as Amy made her feel herself. “Morning,” JoBeth echoed finally, lifting her head off of Amy’s shoulder to look up at her. “Been up long?” she asked, getting a small shake of the head in reply.
“Not really,” Amy answered, regarding those few minutes as time well spent, simply being able to be there with JoBeth. Her heartbeat quickening to see that adorable, sleepy smile sparkling in JoBeth’s eyes, Amy nudged JoBeth to roll a little more on top of her. “Now come here, you…” she purred, caressing JoBeth’s cheek and drawing a chuckle and happy compliance from the brunette.
“Mmm… Yes Ma’am,” JoBeth answered, pressing gently against Amy’s warm hand before climbing on top of the blonde and coming up to meet her lips with a kiss that she wanted just as much as she knew Amy did.
Feeling Amy’s tongue slip past her lips, JoBeth flicked hers against it playfully as the first kiss turned into several more. The last few weeks with Amy had been incredible, getting to know her and spending time with this amazing girl. They’d found ways to be together, to talk, hang out and finish on their own work together, even playing a little when they could. It had been exhilarating and a wonderful balance and even a motivational factor in dealing with the stresses of schoolwork and getting everything done. The feeling of having everything else taken care of was liberating, and it meant that she could simply wake up here, wrapped up in Amy’s embrace and enjoying these first fun kisses whenever they wanted without another care in the world.
A stray thought about just what they liked to play around with together spun through JoBeth’s mind, combining with the delightfully tingly feeling that Amy’s kisses gave her to send a pleasant shiver down her spine. “Mmmh…” JoBeth moaned softly into the kiss, sliding her arms around under Amy as the blonde held her tight under the covers. Breaking into a smile when the kiss finally ended, JoBeth gave Amy a dreamy and loving smile. “That was nice…” she cooed through a playful bite of her lower lip.
Enjoying the gentle pressure and warmth of JoBeth’s body on top of her, Amy gave JoBeth a suggestive smirk. “You know I like it when you call me ma’am,” Amy replied with an impish smile of her own, catching her breath for a moment from the pleasurable haze that JoBeth’s kiss had sent coursing through her body.
“Oh, I know,” JoBeth said with a grin and another quick kiss for Amy.
“Tease!” Amy chided through a laugh, lightly slapping JoBeth’s butt under the covers and getting a confirming nod and chuckle from JoBeth in reply.
“You know it,” JoBeth quipped happily, having enjoyed finding out just how much Amy liked that side of her. She loved when Amy got that look in her eye, the one that said she wanted her completely, and this time was no different. It never failed to get her excited and she could barely wait to find out just how Amy might make her hers later tonight.
Putting on a pensive expression, Amy met JoBeth’s gaze with a curiously arched eyebrow. “It’s almost like you enjoy baiting me…” Amy wondered, getting a faint blush a playfully shy look away from JoBeth, who knew she’d been caught. These last few weeks, she’d gotten to know that side of JoBeth pretty well and it was one of the many things on the long list of quirks that she loved about her.
“Maaaaaybe…” JoBeth said, feigning ignorance regarding any ulterior motives she might have before looking back at Amy. “Guess you’ll just have to find out, huh?”
“That I will…” Amy answered with a smile, giving the brunette another squeeze. The warm and tingly haze of pleasure she always felt from JoBeth’s affections and intimations had her imagination churning over just what she could do get JoBeth all kinds of stuck and feeling amazing later. “But for now, I’ve got you here and that’s where you’re staying,” Amy stated simply, leaning up to give JoBeth another light kiss.
Chuckling softly, JoBeth smiled and continued Amy’s kiss to her lips in a small trail down Amy’s cheek to her neck. “I like being here,” she said quietly, resting her head back on Amy’s shoulder for a moment and enjoying the little shiver she felt Amy give at that last kiss.
“Hnnn…” Amy sighed pleasantly, feeling more than just a tingle stirring inside her now. JoBeth had quickly figured out where her favorite places were and there was no doubting that she was very good at making her feel good in return. “Here in the apartment?” she asked leadingly, trying to fight off the urge to roll JoBeth over to take her right now and hoping that the real answer might be what she asked next. “Or in my arms..?” she wondered suggestively, getting no small thrill at being able to ask that question of the girl she’d been dreaming of.
“That second one,” JoBeth confirmed with a smile and a laugh, giving Amy another tickling kiss to the side of her neck and drawing another slightly more frantic squeeze and giggle from the wonderful blonde. She had come to love spending time relaxing around Amy’s apartment and especially in her bed. The soft covers, all of the fun they’d gotten up to between them, and being able to curl up next to her were things that she wouldn’t trade for anything else, but that didn’t mean it wasn’t fun to tease her when and where she could.
Starting to draw her finger in small circles on Amy’s opposite shoulder again, JoBeth broke out into a smirk. “But I like your bed a lot too…” she said, sharing a laugh with Amy.
“That’s a good thing,” Amy started, kissing JoBeth’s forehead affectionately. “But it’s not just because I had you tied to it last night?” she asked teasingly, feeling JoBeth’s chuckle against her body.
“Mm, that’s one reason…” JoBeth replied, nuzzling in for a moment before rising back up to meet Amy’s gaze. The cuffs from last night were still attached to the headboard and the harness ballgag Amy had made her put to good use was laying over on the nightstand, but they weren’t the only reason she liked spending time here. “I like it because usually you’re in it with me,” she asserted with a smile, enjoying the sparkle reflecting in Amy’s eyes a moment later.
Kissing JoBeth’s forehead, Amy couldn’t help breaking into a beaming smile. “Aww, Jo…” the blonde purred, giving JoBeth another affectionate squeeze. Hearing JoBeth’s happy sigh in response made her feel good that JoBeth could be that content here with her. “Well, I love having you over here…” Amy started, getting a small chuckle from JoBeth as a dirty thought crossed both their minds.
“Do you, now?” JoBeth asked, looking up at Amy with an impish smile.
“Oh, you know what I meant…” Amy replied, giving JoBeth another light pat on her behind.
“Aah,” JoBeth said, feigning a sudden enlightenment. “Here in the apartment.”
“That one,” Amy confirmed with a smirk. She did love having JoBeth in that other way too, but that was just a delightful bonus on top of being able to spend time with and share her life with her. “And you know you’re welcome here any time.”
She’d come to love hanging around here in Amy and her best friend Lauren’s cozy place, and quite surprisingly, considering who she was usually here with, JoBeth had found it fairly easy to get her work done here too, in order to spend more time focused on hanging out with, cooking or just plain goofing around with Amy or with Lauren while Amy finished her own work. The only thing that she ever missed while being over here was that Tara wasn’t there with them, but in time, she hoped they might be able to fix that.
“Good,” JoBeth said with a cheerful smile, coming up to steal another short kiss from her girlfriend. “And you know you’re always welcome at mine, too,” she added a moment later.
“Thank you for that,” Amy answered with a smile and a chuckle. She’d spent a few weekend nights over with JoBeth in the dorm, getting up to quite a few naughty games as well as simply having fun watching movies with JoBeth and her suitemate Tara, who was an adorable and awesome girl on her own and a great friend to JoBeth. It was a welcoming place, with little elements of JoBeth’s personality; scattered clothes and CDs everywhere made it fun to be with JoBeth there in her own place.
Feeling JoBeth nuzzle back into her shoulder again and the gentle tickle of her breath against her chest, Amy let out another contented sigh and she basked in the wonderful little moment. “It’s always been fun there too,” Amy added a moment later, having enjoyed those days just as much as she did the ones here in her apartment.
The last four weekends alone, Amy recalled fondly how they’d managed to spend time either back at JoBeth’s dorm for movie nights and pizza with Tara, out on the town for dinner or one of the concerts of some local band that JoBeth liked, or back here at the apartment with Lauren for games or movies again, and almost always a slightly different and very much exciting kind of playing. The first night she’d spent over here, Lauren had taken to JoBeth immediately and her best friend and her girlfriend had hit it off better than Amy could’ve ever hoped for between conversations about video games, music, old movies and food. Lauren had quickly taken her aside while JoBeth poked through their CD collection to tell her that she’d found a keeper, and with a smile at the time, Amy had to agree.
Glad as she was to have Lauren and JoBeth hit it off as friends, it had been the way that JoBeth had taken to all the different and new toys and bondage gear that she’d introduced her to that night that had proved to be another brand of exciting all together. Amy had quickly discovered that JoBeth’s enthusiasm for trying new things matched her surprising flexibility in dealing with some of the stricter ties she’d put her in. Together, they’d found a whole list of new favorite toys that JoBeth had more than enjoyed being bound up and stuck in for hours, where they both could exercise their desires.
Taking a deep breath, Amy felt another pang of slightly tingly pleasure course through her. Trying to resist the urges it gave her was as difficult as ever and Amy’s mind danced between memories of how incredibly exciting it had felt to lock JoBeth into some of those toys and the anticipation she felt for when she could do that with her again. The blushing smiles and soft moans that JoBeth had given as she’d put her into one of the strap harnesses and boxed arm cuffs she owned, or into one of her armbinders that JoBeth had come to love had only made her want JoBeth that much more. She had a girl in JoBeth that she loved, and a girl that wanted her to keep her all for herself as long as she wanted, making her feel as amazing as she made her feel herself in return. It made her heart race with arousal and desire every time she was able to be close with JoBeth, having been allowed to make JoBeth hers and to watch her curiously test out the bonds here in her bed. She knew JoBeth loved testing the bonds as best she could, trying hard to escape, as it was only when she discovered, somewhat breathlessly, that she had no hope of getting out that the real fun for them both began.
The giddy, beaming and excited smiles that JoBeth would give her as she realized just how helpless she was had never ceased to make Amy’s heart race with anticipation and excitement. JoBeth trusted her and she’d told her many times how much she liked belonging completely to her, knowing that she would not only be made to feel better than she’d ever felt before each time, but that she could do the same for Amy in return, bonds or no. Every time that it was clear that JoBeth was stuck and that she loved the feeling, Amy felt a mix of immense relief and joy that she’d found someone that she could be herself around, that wanted her just as much in return, and that she could share and exercise this kinky desire of hers with.
The little laughs and the playful teasing that always followed from there had been wonderful, and JoBeth met her at each and every turn with her own delightful brands of teasing and subversive seduction. When she had the ponytailed brunette like that, Amy couldn’t help but slip into a seductive and in-control mood of her own that JoBeth seemed to love more than anything, and the pictures that JoBeth would pose for over the course of the night were fun, but not nearly as much as what would follow, where they would see how many different and wonderful peaks of pleasure they could find and bring out of each other.
With a small smirk tugging at the corners of her lips, Amy felt her cheeks reddening at the thought and she tried to shake off this train of thought for the time being. That kind of fun and more could come later tonight. For now, Amy was happy to rise back out of her memories and into this rather wonderful moment to concentrate on the pleasant feeling of JoBeth’s soft breathing against her chest and the delightful tickle as the brunette drew little circles and taps with her fingertip on her shoulder.
“I love you, Jo…” Amy said softly, giving the subject of her affections another squeeze that JoBeth happily returned.
“I love you too, Aims,” JoBeth replied with a smile, kissing her first on the shoulder before rising up to look at Amy. Seeing that familiar blush on Amy’s cheeks and that naughty little lip-bite that Amy was giving her, JoBeth knew exactly what Amy had been thinking about that that sent a beaming grin to her lips. She’d quickly come to like being the object of Amy’s thoughts and desires, and it was something she was keen to encourage in the blonde. “Been thinking about me?” she asked impishly, getting a confirming nod from Amy.
“Might’ve been,” Amy replied, refusing to give away any more than that.
“Good,” JoBeth said, coming in to give Amy a quick kiss on her lips that Amy turned into a few more. As the last one parted, JoBeth felt Amy catch her lower lip between her teeth for just a moment, tugging gently before letting go, the desirous act sending an exquisite shiver down her spine. It was something Amy did every now and then and she loved it. Each time, it made her want to melt into the blonde, knowing just how much Amy wanted her. “Mmmh…” JoBeth moaned softly, drifting quickly into and sharing a naughty little smile with Amy.
“My Jo…” Amy asserted.
With a small chuckle, JoBeth saw no reason to disagree. “Yup, and you…” she trailed off in order to steal one more quick kiss. “…Are my Aims.”
“Yup,” Amy agreed, giving JoBeth another squeeze as she settled back into her shoulder again. She’d never felt this comfortable with someone, where she could do all the little things she wanted and be subject to all the desires of someone that accepted and loved her in return, knowing she’d adore every one of them. It was a kind of happiness that she’d only dreamed of and Amy had no intention of ever letting it go. “Our own little world here,” Amy said, feeling JoBeth’s chuckle and nod of agreement against her side.
“Uh huh,” JoBeth said simply. While she was here with Amy like this, the rest of the world dropped away while they enjoyed each other’s company. It was a delightful place they’d found together, and just thinking about it was enough to bring a smile to her lips. To experience it was something else entirely and she hoped that this was only the beginning with Amy. “It’s a fun world,” she added, sharing a laugh and a gentle squeeze with Amy.
“Yeah it is,” Amy agreed with a smile.
Letting out a deep breath, JoBeth began idly tapping her foot against Amy’s under the covers. She could hear and feel Amy’s chuckle in return and JoBeth loved that she was the one to cause that. That she made Amy that happy filled her with a warmth and happiness that set her whole body tingling with pleasure and joy.
These quiet and relaxed mornings where they could relax and talk about anything and everything were rapidly becoming one of JoBeth’s favorite things. Just talking to Amy was fun and fascinating, finding out things about her and even finding out what she thought about the things she was trying to figure out herself.
“You know, I was curious…” JoBeth started, recalling a question that had popped into mind earlier that week.
Arching an eyebrow, Amy caressed JoBeth’s shoulder with her thumb affectionately. “Oh?” she asked. “What about?”
“Just how long you guys have been here in the apartment,” JoBeth said, pausing a moment, leaning up to look at Amy. “I was talking to my parents about next year and I was thinking about if I wanted to try talking Tara into moving off campus…”
“Oh yeah?” Amy started, remembering back when she’d had to make the same decision with Lauren. “What about it?”
Her brow rising slightly, JoBeth had been wondering what it had been like for Amy at the time. “Just wondering what you guys ran into, or if you had any problems living off-campus,” she said, causing Amy to nod knowingly.
“It wasn’t too hard or anything,” Amy said. “It was a lot cheaper than being in the dorms, but you do have to give up having your food made for you…” she continued, sharing a chuckle with JoBeth.
“I think I can handle that part,” JoBeth replied with a smile.
Having heard a few amusing complaints from both JoBeth and Tara that reminded her of her own issues with the campus food, Amy thought that leaving it behind wouldn’t be a barrier for either girl. “I figure you’d be able to,” Amy quipped, tickling JoBeth’s side gently and causing the brunette to squirm against her quite nicely.
“Aah! Hey…” JoBeth protested, retaliating by giving Amy a slightly tighter squeeze. The blushing smile that Amy was giving her brought a wide grin to her lips. She was perfectly happy to let Amy tickle her now and again as she rather liked having an excuse to squirm up against Amy quite a bit herself. “I can make most of what I like and it’d be nice to be able to pick what I want, and when…” she continued, getting back on topic after catching her breath.
Nodding, Amy couldn’t help a chuckle. “Agreed,” Amy said. “It’s not bad at all there, but they do get a little repetitive…” she added, remembering all too well the same meals that were served week in and week out when she’d shared a room with Lauren.
“Especially when you’re not in the mood for the spinach dip!” JoBeth said with a laugh that Amy joined her in.
“Oh, God, the spinach dip,” Amy said between laughs. “That stuff was awful! Do they really still make that?”
“Do they ever,” JoBeth confirmed, glad to know that she and Tara weren’t the only ones that weren’t its biggest fans. “It’s out there at least once a week and I swear, one day I’m going to throw it at someone,” she finished, getting another laugh and a gently affectionate squeeze from the blonde that she happily returned.
“You totally should,” Amy said, donning a smirk and amused by the idea. “Your last day, just go in and throw it everywhere!”
“Will do,” JoBeth laughed jokingly, part of her very much liking the sound of that. “So long as you’re outside with the get-away car!” she added with a playful tap to Amy’s nose.
Chuckling, Amy leaned forward to give JoBeth a quick kiss. “Deal,” she said with a smile. “I might have to make Lauren drive, though…” Amy continued, a mischievous glint sparkling in her eye and her comment causing JoBeth’s eyebrow to rise curiously.
“Oh?” JoBeth asked.
“I wouldn’t mind throwing some of that stuff around myself,” Amy elaborated, breaking into a grin that sent JoBeth into another laugh and nuzzling back into her shoulder.
Smiling as Amy stroked her hand through her hair, JoBeth let out a contented breath. “Sounds like fun,” JoBeth said, up for ganging up with Amy to start a food fight.
“It would be,” Amy seconded, imagining for a moment just how cathartic it would be and if there was a chance they could get away with it without getting in trouble with the school. “But to answer your actual question, we’ve been in
this apartment for two years,” she continued. “We used to live in one of the complexes closer to campus, but all the drunks kept damaging cars around there, so we moved a few blocks further away, to here.”
Nodding slightly, JoBeth was very familiar with the obnoxious crowd that was always around the bars scattered around the edges of the campus, especially on the weekends. “Makes sense,” she said with a smile. “Good thing we’re up on the eighth floor, huh? They’re harder to hear up there,” JoBeth added, getting a small and agreeing laugh from Amy.
“Definitely,” Amy said, counting that among the many nice things about JoBeth’s dorm room location, along with how easy it was to sneak up there without being seen by any of the other students. “I actually really like your room,” Amy elaborated a moment later. “And with Tara on the other side, it’s even harder for anyone to hear
you when I’ve got you in my clutches…” she trailed off with a suggestive chuckle and a playful squeeze to JoBeth’s behind.
A warm blush heated her cheeks once more and JoBeth couldn’t help but laugh. “Well, I like being in your clutches…” she replied, leaning back enough to trail her finger down a little lower, under Amy’s tank top and finally up to Amy’s breast. “Usually feels pretty good being all tied up and had by my favorite blonde…” JoBeth purred.
Feeling herself blushing now, Amy gave a soft gasp as JoBeth started to tease her nipple lightly. “Heh, hey now, Jo…” Amy started, brushing her own fingertip over JoBeth’s ticklish side. “No starting that just yet…”
“Aww…” JoBeth chuckled, putting on airs of mock disappointment. “Well, too bad, ‘cause I like touching you,” she declared with an impish smile to match Amy’s smirk.
Shaking her head, Amy barely suppressed a laugh as JoBeth stopped teasing her, but kept her warm hand there in place. JoBeth’s touch felt as good as ever, and for now, she saw no reason to argue with her. She liked that JoBeth liked her that much, and Amy wished that she didn’t need a little bit of time to recover after all the fun they’d gotten up to last night. “Alright, fine…” she started, stealing a kiss from JoBeth. “But you’ll be making up for this misbehavior later tonight…”
“Sounds like fun,” JoBeth replied impishly, looking forward not only to the party they had planned, but to what Amy might want to do after it.
Amy felt no small pang of arousal at seeing JoBeth’s smirk, and she gave her girlfriend another squeeze. In the last few weeks, they’d been working up to some of the more complicated and restrictive bondage gear, and they’d always taken the time during and after to talk and make sure that JoBeth was okay with everything. She’d found out that JoBeth liked a few things more than others, particularly the straightjacket, the latex and the armbinders, but they hadn’t found anything yet that she didn’t want to try again. The ponytailed brunette had taken to a few of the different gags with the same giggling enthusiasm that had been one of the many reasons she’d fallen in love with her in the first place, explaining that she liked wearing them, that she thought her muffled voice was funny, and that when she was with her, she didn’t need to worry about speaking.
With desire sparkling in her eyes, Amy caressed JoBeth’s cheek adoringly. “You’ll see if it’s fun when I get you later…” she purred with a teasing smirk before pulling JoBeth a grinning in for a kiss.
When it came to Amy, JoBeth had no problems taking anything that Amy wanted to tie her in. The stricter bonds that Amy had been introducing her to had only turned her on more, and the greater loss of control in the face of Amy wanting her that completely was quite a rush.
“Yes Ma’am…” JoBeth said naughtily once the kiss ended, sending them both into a laugh. Amy gave her a kiss on the forehead that sent a warm glow to her cheeks and JoBeth gave in to the pleasant ideas floating through her mind regarding the possibilities of the evening.
JoBeth had discovered on her first weekend visit to Amy’s apartment that the blonde’s fondness for photography extended well beyond the bedroom. She’d loved the shots of the city and her travels with Lauren scattered around the apartment and she’d even gone out along the lakeshore with her to hang out and take a few more herself, but what really got her heart racing was when Amy made her the subject of the kinkier side her hobby. It excited her to know that Amy wanted to be able to see her that way whenever she liked and JoBeth enjoyed knowing just how much she turned on the girl that made her feel just as good, if not better.
Most of all, she adored the times after, looking at the pictures with Amy on her laptop, picking out the best ones, laughing with and teasing the blonde the whole way. Along with the times she’d managed to turn the camera around on Amy, they’d made for the best photo album she’d ever had and the way things were going, their collection was only just beginning. Just last night, Amy had set the camera up on a timer and taken a few that counted among their best and hottest yet, so much so that she’d made Amy e-mail them to her straight away after blushingly admitting what she wanted them for in case they couldn’t find some time together later that week.
“Does that mean more pictures too..?” JoBeth asked with an impish smirk, getting a chuckle out of her girlfriend in response.
The memories from last night rushed to mind and a blush rose to Amy’s cheeks as she’d already thought of more than a few ideas for what she’d love to do with JoBeth. “Maybe,” she said with a smirk, tapping the tip of JoBeth’s nose and getting a pleased chuckle from the brunette.
“Good,” JoBeth said, happy to wait and find out; the surprise of it only made it more exciting.
Meeting JoBeth’s lips for a kiss, Amy couldn’t help but agree. “You know it,” she said with a smile. “But anyway,” she added a moment later, ready to change the subject before she lost out to her urges to just give in and tie JoBeth back up right now. “Back to your question…” she trailed off, that endearingly interested curiosity immediately returning to JoBeth’s eyes.
“Yup!” JoBeth chirped happily, reaching up to brush a few stray strands of blonde hair that had fallen over Amy’s cheek back behind her ear.
“I actually moved out of the dorms after freshman year,” Amy explained, thinking back to the time not long ago that she’d been in JoBeth’s shoes. “Luckily, I had Lauren along with for a roommate, and her parents live nearby. They were able to help us find a place that wasn’t too bad, price-wise.”
Her eyebrow raising a little, JoBeth remembered Lauren and Amy mentioning something about that the other night. “They live out in the suburbs, right?” she asked, Amy nodding her confirmation.
“Yep,” Amy said. “Her parents are out in Lisle, about a half-hour train ride outside of the city,” she continued. “And luckily, her Mom knows a bunch of realtors, so she knew just who to ask!”
Smiling, JoBeth couldn’t imagine things working out much better than that. “Sounds pretty nice of her,” she said, having heard nothing but good things about her and Lauren’s dad from both Amy and Lauren. “They sound like fun people.”
“They are,” Amy laughed, filled with a fondness for Lauren’s parents herself. “They’re the strangest, coolest and most welcoming parents I know,” she said, caressing JoBeth’s cheek tenderly. “I lived with them for most of high school while my Dad was consulting in Europe.”
Nodding slowly, JoBeth remembered bringing up the subject of Amy’s parents before. Her heart panged a little just thinking about how Amy had told her of her Mom’s passing, and she tried not to let the sense of sadness she felt about it take over. She wished that Amy hadn’t had to live through that and with a firm, loving embrace, JoBeth was glad to know that while her Dad was working, Amy had had Lauren and her family there for her at the time. Amy’s stories of that time had all sounded like a blast, and now, so long as she and Lauren were around, JoBeth wanted nothing more than to make sure that Amy always knew she had someone around that loved her.
She’d made a promise to Amy that any time she wanted to talk about anything, that she’d be there for her, one that Amy had happily reciprocated, but JoBeth didn’t want to dig into anything and forcibly drag up unhappier thoughts this early in the day. “They sound nice,” JoBeth said with a smile, hoping to focus on the nicer times and Lauren’s parents.
Giving JoBeth a reassuring kiss, Amy only felt her love for JoBeth grow each time she showed such caring and concern for her. “Nice, sure, and a little excitable…” Amy replied, trailing off into a chuckle knowing full well just how enthusiastic those two could be.
“Excitable, huh?” JoBeth asked with a smirk, already feeling much better and her curiosity getting the best of her.
“Yup,” Amy said, “Lauren actually told them about you a few weeks ago and the moment I got on the phone, they told me I have to bring you over so they can meet you.”
Sharing in Amy’s chuckle, JoBeth thought it sounded like fun. From all that she could tell, Lauren’s parents seemed to care about Amy like she was one of their own, and she thought that people like that had to be worth knowing. It might be a little while before it could happen, but she couldn’t wait to introduce Amy to her parents if the time was right one day, and she was more than happy to get to know the people that Amy had in her life as well. “Well, you tell me…” JoBeth said, nuzzling back into Amy’s shoulder, not wanting to force the issue by any means. “If you ever want to go back there, I’d be happy to go with, if you wanted.”
Smiling and filled with love for the hint of tentative nervousness in JoBeth’s voice, Amy kissed her on the forehead. “Of course I want to take you back there, Jo…” she said sweetly, glad to know that JoBeth was up for the idea. “But I just need to make sure we go on a day they’ll let us leave!” Amy added, breaking into a small laugh with JoBeth.
“They’re that excited, huh?” JoBeth asked, already thinking that a trip there sounded like fun.
“Just a bit,” Amy replied with a smirk. “But I love ‘em anyway,” she added, tousling her fingers through JoBeth’s hair. “They took care of me and gave me my best friend, so it’s hard to complain.”
JoBeth had certainly enjoyed hanging out with Lauren here at the apartment in the past few weeks. “She is pretty fun,” she said with a smile, having found in Lauren a comrade in arms when it came to making Amy happy. “And it has to help having a roommate you love and trust around to keep you company…” she added.
“You’ve got that right,” Amy said with a nod, smiling as JoBeth had returned to drawing those lazy, tingle-inducing circles on her shoulder. She’d always been grateful to have someone that she could hang out with, have fun with and relax with at home and Lauren was all that and more. She’d loved being able to talk to her about anything, and sometimes even get lost in whatever Lauren was up to, helping her and supporting the girl that did so much for her.
Letting out a contented sigh, JoBeth basked in the warmth of Amy’s arms around her for a moment before continuing. “I’ll see what Tara thinks,” she said, hoping that her own best friend would be up for the idea. They practically lived in each other’s rooms already, and JoBeth couldn’t imagine wanting anyone else for a roommate. It would also mean it’d be easier to spend time with Amy and that fact alone made this idea sound better and better all the time. “It we can afford it, I think it’d be nice.”
“It couldn’t hurt to ask her,” Amy agreed, imagining no harm in the question itself before a fleeting thought about a conversation a few days ago passed through her mind. It might be a long shot, but she couldn’t deny that it could be incredible if it could happen. “You know…” Amy started, dancing her fingertips over JoBeth’s warm back. “Lauren and I were thinking about finding someplace new once our lease expires here in the summer…” she continued, sensing JoBeth’s interest already. “Originally, we were just thinking about a bigger apartment or a condo, but if you two wanted to…”
“Hmm?” JoBeth asked when Amy trailed off, rising back up out of the blonde’s shoulder to look at her. “Wanted to what?” she asked leadingly.
A small smile tugged at the corners of her lips and Amy felt her heart beating a little faster knowing that she wasn’t off base and that she’d piqued JoBeth’s interest with this. “Well, I was thinking that one day, it’d be nice to find a house to rent around here, someplace with a little more room for the money,” she elaborated. “With just two of us, it wouldn’t make sense as we’d never fill up the space, but if there were four of us…” Amy trailed off, seeing the lit-up smile in JoBeth’s eyes telling her that she liked the idea.
“Really?” JoBeth asked, a sense of excitement welling up inside her. She was fond of Lauren already and they’d gotten along more than well these last few weeks; so much so that she knew Tara would like her. That Tara liked Amy too, having become friends in the last few weeks themselves, gave JoBeth no reason to think that it would be a problem. “That could be fun…” she finally said, trying to contain her excitement over the prospect of what it might be like to live with Amy. “Something with four bedrooms…?” she asked, with a playful and slightly suggestive smirk.
Chuckling softly, Amy felt a blush spreading over her as she caressed JoBeth’s cheek fondly. “Well, depending…” she started, teasing JoBeth a little. “I thought we could share one…” Amy finished, drawing a bright grin out of JoBeth in return.
Glad to know that Amy was thinking the same thing she was, JoBeth felt a slight tingle coursing through her at the notion. “I wouldn’t have a problem with that…” she said, leaning in to give Amy a kiss and moaning softly into it as Amy gave her a loving squeeze. “So, three bedrooms then…” she started with an impish smirk. “Or maybe two, depending on what happens later…”
Laughing along with JoBeth, Amy felt a pleasant tingle as the kiss parted. “We’ll have to see, but who knows?” she wondered aloud. While she’d gotten to know Tara over the past few weeks, she come to find that she and Lauren had a fair bit in common. “Maybe two,” Amy agreed, looking forward to finding out what might happen when the two would meet at the party later. “We’ll see, hopefully one day…” Amy trailed off.
After finding Amy’s lips for another kiss that Amy turned into two, JoBeth settled back into Amy’s side with a smile. From what she knew about Lauren already, she was pretty sure Tara would at least get along with her well. Lauren was friendly, smart, creative and very outgoing, which would come in handy when it came to Tara’s initial shyness. “You think they’ll hit it off?” JoBeth asked, hoping that Amy thought the same about the two of them.
With a smirk, Amy felt confident that between herself and JoBeth helping Tara feel comfortable, Lauren would find a way past any barriers to get to know the intelligent, curious and even playful girl underneath. “I think Lauren will love her,” Amy chuckled softly, figuring that Lauren’s predilection for redheads alone would be enough to make Tara too adorable to resist at least talking to. “I mean, how can you
not like Tara?” she asked with mock incredulity. “She’s quiet at first, but she’s a total sweetie.”
Unable to suppress a laugh, JoBeth thought Amy’s assessment of Tara was right in line with her own. Tara was her best friend here at college and she was a wonderful and supportive person that she was glad to have in her life. While she was ecstatic to have found someone in Amy that she wanted to share her life with, JoBeth hoped that Tara would find that same wonderful feeling with someone too.
“Yeah she is,” JoBeth agreed, giving Amy another kiss to the side of her neck, making the blonde shiver and giggle softly. The act and knowing how much Amy liked that sent a giddy smile to her lips. “And I think she’ll like Lauren too,” she added, ready to make sure Tara was comfortable here and having fun later too.
“Here’s to hoping,” Amy said with a laugh. “I mean, you know Lauren. Tara might not have a choice. Lauren loves meeting people and she’s got a huge thing for redheads…” she trailed off as JoBeth joined her in a chuckle.
“Then they should be just fine, huh?” JoBeth asked, feeling Amy nod before resting her head against her own.
“Yup,” Amy replied. “I don’t think Lauren would scare her or anything, and she’ll still have you and me around to make sure she doesn’t get lonely or feel awkward…” she trailed off into a smile.
“Definitely,” JoBeth confirmed, glad to have Amy in on her not-quite-nefarious plan.
Running her fingers through JoBeth’s hair fondly, Amy smiled. “Something tells me they’ll hit it off just fine.”
“Me too…” JoBeth said with a smirk, a laugh bubbling up from inside her as she remembered just how many of the girls in Lauren’s design sketchbooks had red hair. “So she’s got a thing for redheads, huh?” she asked.
It was something she’d found out about Lauren all the way back in middle school and it had held true ever since. “Like you wouldn’t believe,” Amy replied with a laugh. Lauren had dated a few blondes and brunettes here and there over the years, but whenever a cute redhead walked by, she never failed to perk up a bit.
A smirk crossed Amy’s lips and she remembered how JoBeth had caught her eye that first day in class, the cutest little thing she’d ever seen with the twin ponytails and an adorable smile. “Just like I’ve got a thing for punky brunettes…” Amy purred playfully, giving JoBeth another loving and affectionate squeeze. “Specifically: you.”
Breaking into a bright giggle, JoBeth returned Amy’s embrace. “Mm, I’m okay with that,” she chuckled, seeking out Amy’s lips for a quick kiss. “Because I’ve got the weirdest thing for blonde english teachers…” she trailed off into another laugh, sending a blushing smile to Amy’s cheeks.
“You do, do you?” Amy asked curiously, watching the adorable sight of JoBeth biting her lip and grinning back at her.
“Yup,” JoBeth confirmed. “And I’ve got her right where I want her, too…” she added, feeling a soft shiver course through her as Amy’s hand ran up over her back.
Laughing softly, Amy was very much glad to be the subject of JoBeth’s affections. “Good to know,” she started, a mischievous sparkle glinting in her eyes. “Since you’re right where I want you, too,” Amy said, looping a leg over JoBeth’s possessively. “
My JoBeth,” she declared with a smirk, her heart beating a little faster to know that it was true.
With a bright grin, JoBeth settled in on top of Amy. “Nnf,” she sighed, very much enjoying Amy’s firm embrace. “Yes Ma’am,” she said with a chuckle, reaching up to run her fingers through Amy’s soft, blonde locks. “My Aims…”
JoBeth’s purred assertion turned into a kiss and Amy felt a delightful series of tingles over her entire body as that kiss turned into several more. Pressing her tongue past JoBeth’s lips, she found JoBeth’s and pulled the girl closer with a soft, pleasant moan. The ponytailed brunette’s body pressed firmly against her own and Amy felt JoBeth’s heart beating a little faster now in time with her own, giving her a feeling of acceptance and desire both for and from JoBeth that she wouldn’t trade for anything in the world. “Hnn…” Amy sighed happily, smiling dreamily up at JoBeth once the kiss broke. “You’re good at that…”
Smiling as she felt Amy’s arms wrapping around her, JoBeth gazed adoringly down at her girlfriend. “So are you,” JoBeth started with a playful smirk. “And I like doing that with you…” she added, kissing Amy on the tip of her nose the way that Amy always did to her and getting a laugh in return. It was something she liked and that always made her chuckle when she did it, especially when they were playing and Amy had her mouth otherwise occupied.
“Me too,” Amy replied with a smirk, giving JoBeth a quick squeeze. Her mind was still a little hazy with the pleasurable thoughts that JoBeth had incited in her. “And that’s one of the many reasons why I have no plans to let you go anytime soon…” she said, getting a happy and very agreeable smile back from JoBeth.
“Works for me,” JoBeth replied, perfectly happy to stay in bed with Amy as long as she liked. “Since I’m not letting you go either.”
“Good girl,” Amy purred, sharing a small chuckle and a smile with JoBeth as she leaned up to find her lips for another kiss.
A beaming grin shone on JoBeth’s cheeks once the kiss broke and she settled back down to rest her head on Amy’s shoulder. She felt Amy’s shiver at her breath against her chest and JoBeth couldn’t help but love that she was able to make Amy feel that way. Knowing full well how much Amy liked it, JoBeth was unable to resist a few kisses to Amy’s neck. “Mm… My Aims…” she said again, giving the object of her affections a loving squeeze that the blonde returned in kind.
“Yes Ma’am,” Amy said with a soft chuckle and a sigh, the turn of phrase drawing a laugh from her girlfriend. These small moments here with JoBeth, holding her and making her laugh filled her with a wonderful sense of warmth and love and Amy knew that all of it was because JoBeth was here with her and because of how much this amazing girl liked her in return. Getting to know her and spending time with her had been wonderful, and Amy hoped that they could stay that way for a long time to come. “Anyway, we can figure out housing stuff later,” she said, not in any rush to decide things yet. “It’s a fun idea, but we can wait and see how things turn out…”
“Yup,” JoBeth seconded, perfectly happy to bring it up to Tara later. No small part of her was hoping that her best friend would like both Lauren and the idea. “We don’t have to tell the school anything about living arrangements until March, so we can see what happens.”
The lease on the apartment Amy shared with Lauren was not coming up until June and with a smile, Amy found herself agreeing that there was plenty of time. “We’ll see how things go, then,” she said, running her hand over JoBeth’s back fondly.
A pleasant tingle from Amy’s touch sent a smile to her lips and JoBeth nodded gently against Amy’s shoulder. “I think it’d be fun,” JoBeth said. Already liking this plan, she wondered what it would be like to come home to Amy, Tara and Lauren all there to hang out with between work and school stuff, and to be able to start every day like this one.
Propping herself back up on her elbows, JoBeth met Amy’s gaze and her smile. “I know I wouldn’t mind waking up to you every morning…”
Liking that notion very much herself, Amy smiled back at JoBeth. “Me too, Jo…” she replied, biting her lower lip happily. “But it won’t be
all play… You’ll still have to get all your homework and studying done!” she added, tapping the tip of JoBeth’s nose with her finger and getting a laugh out of her in return.
“I knew you’d say that,” JoBeth chuckled. Amy was ever the teacher, and that confidence and responsible drive was one of the many things she found quite appealing about her. “That’s what you and Tara are for!” she declared with a smirk, glad to have people that helped her keep her focus in her life as schoolwork was far from her favorite thing in the world.
Having the time to hang out and play with Amy was a wonderful motivation to get things done if there ever was one and having Tara as a study partner had made the times she’d had to get things done pass quite easily. “It’s fun working on stuff with her,” JoBeth added playfully a moment later. “And getting it done means I can come pester you…”
“True, but I’ll be making sure,” Amy said with a suggestive smirk, knowing that she’d have to make sure to get her own work done as well in the face of having the alluring distraction that was JoBeth around more often. “You two’ll get things done, I’m sure, assuming Lauren doesn’t have Tara all distracted too…” she trailed off into a shared laugh with JoBeth.
The idea of a flustered and pleasantly distracted Tara sounded like it’d be quite funny to see, and JoBeth hoped that the two really would hit it off later. JoBeth couldn’t think of an arrangement much better than having those three girls around for company. “Ah, the tough parts about living with a teacher,” she mused, happy to play along and feign distress at having Amy around to make sure that she was taking care of her homework.
“I warned you I’m a demanding mistress,” Amy said with a smirk, feeling JoBeth squirm pleasantly against her as she gave the brunette’s backside a playful squeeze.
“But I wouldn’t have you any other way,” JoBeth said with a chuckle and finding her way into a kiss with the blonde, enjoying Amy’s caring support just as much as she liked when Amy took charge of her completely.
Despite having gotten along well enough so far, JoBeth had never felt completely confident with her school work. Having Amy’s encouragement, advice and support along with Tara’s these past few weeks had been a huge help, and it had bolstered her confidence that she really could go out there and do anything she wanted. JoBeth very much liked the idea having Amy around to help keep her on track when things got tough, and to be able to come home to someone that loved her that much and someone she loved in return sounded like the best part of it all.
“We’ll figure it out,” JoBeth finished with a smile, nuzzling into Amy’s caressing hand against her cheek and wrapping herself up in Amy’s comfortable affections.
“That we will, Jo,” Amy said with a smile, barely able to keep herself from giving into how much she wanted to just grab and wrap up the adorably cute girl in her arms for the rest of the day. “But speaking of next year, have you thought about the classes you want to take?” she asked leadingly, bringing up a topic from a late-night dinner earlier in the week. The last thing that Amy wanted was to pressure JoBeth, but she also wanted to make sure that JoBeth knew she wasn’t lost or alone in having to think about it.
With a nod, JoBeth shifted her weight from one elbow to the other, feeling more than a little glad that Amy cared so much about her and her future. “A little,” she said truthfully, having been more focused on getting a test out of the way, but she hadn’t ignored it. “The journalism classes are fun, but I was thinking I might try something in broadcasting,” JoBeth said, smiling at seeing the interest spark in Amy’s eyes.
“Oh yeah?” Amy asked, having heard JoBeth mention it in passing a few times before.
“Yup,” JoBeth said with a nod. “I know a few local bands, and I was thinking I could try and interview some of them for a series on the school radio or TV network,” she elaborated. A radio show had always sounded like fun to her growing up, and the interviews were an idea she’d had for the paper that she figured could be easily adapted for taking into the broadcasting school, where she could find a way to work with one of her other passions in life.
Amy had found out a lot about JoBeth’s love of music, and that one of her favorite things to do was to go to the different concert venues that dotted the city. She’d told her about her Dad’s job running a record company and how it’d led her to fall in love with music at a young age when her parents took her to concert after concert. JoBeth had already taken her along to a few small, local concerts herself and Amy hadn’t found any reason to stop going with; they’d all been a blast.
She couldn’t deny that JoBeth had good taste in music and that she had a rather infectious energy when it came to talking about what she liked. It was one of the things that had drawn her to JoBeth in the first place, and Amy knew deep down that that she’d be a hit if she found her way into sharing that with others through radio or television. “Well, you know our Comm. Arts school is pretty darn good,” Amy started, thinking back to the last staff party she’d been to. “And I think I knew a few of the teachers over there, too. Good people, at least the ones I met...”
“That’s good,” JoBeth said, taking encouragement from Amy’s smile. “It might be fun to try out a class or two in radio or television or something…” she trailed off for a moment. “Maybe see if there’s something there for me.”
“I know there’s a great intro class you can take,” Amy replied with a smile, more than happy to hear that JoBeth had already come up with an idea for what she’d like to try out. There was no disputing she had a great personality and voice, and there was no reason she couldn’t find a place for herself in bringing her love for music to other people. “And if you like, I might be able to introduce you to a few people, if you want to talk to them about it... Maybe see if you can get a feel for it and if it’s something you’d like to do,” she added, brushing a bit of JoBeth’s bangs that had fallen back behind her ear.
“I’d like that,” JoBeth replied cheerfully, filled with love and appreciation for Amy. Meeting some of the teachers sounded like a great way to figure out if she might like it or if by talking to them about her interests, she could find out what she might enjoy the most. “I never thought I’d be the one to try for a double major, but hey, why not?” she asked, getting another encouraging smile and a loving squeeze from Amy.
“’Why not’ is right,” Amy said, giving JoBeth a quick kiss and getting a bright smile out of the brunette. “You’ll kick ass at whatever you want to do, Jo, I know it.”
Her eyes lighting up with a smile, JoBeth leaned back in to return Amy’s kiss. “Thanks Aims,” she said once it parted, cuddling into the girl that believed in her and that she liked more than anything.
Returning JoBeth’s affectionate squeeze, Amy ran her hand gently over JoBeth’s back. “You’re more than welcome, Jo,” Amy said with a smile. “And I only say it because it’s true; you’re good enough to go out there and make your dreams happen, whatever they are,” she added, playfully and sweetly kissing the tip of JoBeth’s nose.
A beaming and grateful smile glowed on JoBeth’s face and she found Amy’s lips with her own. “Aims…” JoBeth purred softly, filled with love for the blonde. “You’re there with me, you know that, right?” she asked, searching for and finding the delightful answer in Amy’s eyes.
“You know it,” Amy agreed with a smile and a nod. “Right behind you, pulling for you all the way,” she added, caressing JoBeth’s cheek tenderly.
“Good,” JoBeth said with a grin, holding Amy close in an embrace. “’Cause I don’t want you anywhere else.”
With a smile stretched wide across her face, Amy felt her whole body tingling with the warmth and love she felt for and from JoBeth. The way that the adorable brunette had just accepted all of her without question, loving her in return without asking her to hide any part of herself gave her the most incredible feeling in the world. Every time she was here with JoBeth like this, she felt like she could walk on air. Having someone like her that she could share her life with was better than she’d ever imagined and to know that JoBeth felt the same way about her was a wonderful rush.
“You’ll get no arguing from me, Jo,” Amy said with a soft chuckle. “I like being with you,” she added, meeting JoBeth for a kiss.
Biting her lower lip and grinning, JoBeth never got tired of hearing Amy say that. “You know I’ll be there for you too, right?” she asked, having talked with Amy about what she wanted to do as well. “I can’t wait to be there the day you get published,” she said, getting a happy smile and a chuckle out of Amy. “I really liked that idea you were telling me about last night…”
With a fond smile, Amy pulled JoBeth back into another kiss. “I know you will,” she said once the kiss parted, glad to have JoBeth’s faith and confidence. Along with Lauren and even Tara, there wasn’t anyone she wanted to share that moment with more. JoBeth’s energy was infectious and Amy knew that watching JoBeth chasing after her own dreams would only add to her desire to follow her own. “It’ll be fun getting there,” Amy added, getting a quick, agreeing nod back from JoBeth.
“You know it,” JoBeth said, giving Amy another kiss. “I can’t wait to read it when it’s done,” she said, having already read and enjoyed a few of the short stories and chapters that Amy had let her read already.
Chuckling, Amy wrapped her arms back around JoBeth possessively. “Who says you won’t see it before then?” she asked with a smirk. “I’ll need someone to tell me if it’s any good or not…” she explained, adoring the sound of JoBeth’s giggle in response.
“I know I’ll be happy to,” JoBeth said, very much looking forward to it.
“Thanks, Jo,” Amy said with a smile. “Between you, Lauren and Tara, I think I’ll have a pretty good test audience!”
“You know it,” JoBeth said with a beaming smile, already looking forward to it.
“Just got to keep after it and it’ll happen in no time,” Amy added, slipping her hand up under JoBeth’s tank-top and running her hand affectionately over JoBeth’s back with a smile.
“Yes Ma’am,” JoBeth said with a chuckle, getting a laugh out of Amy and nuzzling back into her shoulder once more before starting a trail of kisses up from Amy’s shoulder to her neck. “And we’ll have our fun getting there…” she added playfully, feeling Amy start to squirm a little underneath her, getting her own desires churning a little faster inside her.
“Wonderfully evil girl…” Amy chuckled, pressing back against JoBeth and enjoying the pressure of the twin-ponytailed brunette’s body against her own.
Amy’s embrace tightened around her and as JoBeth’s kisses found Amy’s lips, JoBeth felt Amy’s tongue tangle with her own again. “Mmm…” JoBeth sighed, her entire body lighting up with passion and desire for the blonde as the intense first kiss turned into many more, but before long, she heard the unmistakable sound of Lauren out in the living room, starting to shuffle around.
Doing her best to rise up out of the haze of arousal that JoBeth had incited in her, Amy couldn’t keep from breaking into a chuckle that JoBeth shared with her. “You hear that?” Amy asked, getting a confirming nod from JoBeth.
“Yup,” JoBeth said, trying not to laugh too loud. One of the first things she’d learned on her first night over here at Amy’s apartment was just how groggy Amy’s best friend could be in the mornings before she got her caffeine.
“I guess she’s awake,” Amy observed, always amused by Lauren’s consistent morning habits. It was coffee first, then looking forward to whatever breakfast might be, and it was one of their traditions that Amy loved. “Think we should get out there and make her breakfast?” she asked, thinking the idea sounded pretty good herself and arching a curious eyebrow at JoBeth.
JoBeth thought it was really sweet, the way that Amy made Lauren breakfast, helping her to wake up, and how Lauren would then make up for it by cleaning everything up afterwards. It seemed to be a fair trade to her and a cute little tradition between the two long-time best friends. “I don’t see why not,” JoBeth replied with a smile, feeling her own stomach grumble not a moment later, sending them both into a small laugh. “I think I’m getting kind of hungry too…”
“Then that makes three of us,” Amy agreed, not letting go of JoBeth just yet. “But first…” she started. “You come back down here a minute…” she trailed off, getting a smile back from JoBeth.
Grinning, JoBeth was more than happy to follow Amy’s request. “Yes Ma’am…” she purred, coming in to meet Amy’s smiling lips for the first in another exquisite series of kisses. When they finally broke, JoBeth couldn’t help a soft sigh and a fleeting thought that it might have been fun to ask for a bit of playtime before breakfast. “Aims…” she sighed dreamily, brushing Amy’s bangs back off of her beautiful face.
“
My Jo,” Amy whispered softly, holding JoBeth tight and loving the warmth of JoBeth’s arms around her as she did the same to her in kind. Amy felt invigorated and ready to finally climb out of bed to start the day, her mind already churning through both all the preparations for the party and all of the ideas she’d had for what she might like to do with the ponytailed brunette afterwards, when she could keep her all to herself again.
Seeing that familiar and desirous smile sparkling in Amy’s eyes, JoBeth knew exactly what Amy was thinking about, and it was something she was looking forward to it very much herself. Smiling brightly, JoBeth arched an eyebrow and angled her head towards the door, knowing that the sooner the day started, the sooner they could find their way back here into the bedroom after it. “Ready?” she asked, getting only a smirk from Amy in reply.
“One more, first,” Amy countered, leaning up to pull JoBeth into another kiss. Her girlfriend met her happily and in one quick motion, Amy rolled JoBeth over onto her back.
“Aah!!” JoBeth exclaimed, breaking into a giggle that Amy smothered with more of her wonderful kisses while climbing on top of her. “Aims…” she cooed softly, sighing happily and wrapping her arms around Amy’s back and holding the blonde close as the kisses continued.
Amy heard the unresisting JoBeth’s soft chuckles turn into a few quiet but panting moans between each kiss and she couldn’t help feeling more than a little turned on that she could make JoBeth feel that way. “MY Jo,” she repeated insistently, noting the pleased and loving smile sparkling in JoBeth’s eyes at her assertion.
Trying hard not to give into the rising sense of arousal that Amy pinning her down on the bed gave her, JoBeth bit her lower lip and wrapped one of her legs around Amy’s. “Yes Ma’am,” she agreed with a small laugh, happy to be Amy’s and to be in this particular position when the beautiful blonde was making her desires clear. She loved when Amy took charge like this and waking up with this amazing girl, and that she was going to spend tonight being completely hers only made things better.
“Good,” Amy replied quickly with a playful chuckle. “
Now we can go,” she added, drawing a laugh out of JoBeth.
“Just wanted to remind me, huh?” JoBeth asked.
“Yup,” Amy answered, giving JoBeth a kiss on the tip of her nose before climbing off of her and out of bed. The late-November air was certainly chilly outside, and while the bedroom itself had gotten pleasantly warm, she missed the wonderful heat of JoBeth’s body against her own.
Watching Amy grab and slip into a pair of yoga pants over her panties, JoBeth bit her lower lip again at just how sexy she was. Over the last few weeks, she’d found that simply watching Amy was something she’d never get tired of and with a soft chuckle, JoBeth gathered her still-tingling wits about her and climbed out from under the covers herself with a plan in mind.
Waiting for Amy to finish settling the waistband of her pants into place, JoBeth pounced on her with another embrace. “Naah! My Aims,” she declared, wrapping her arms around Amy from behind and breaking into a laugh that Amy shared with her.
Amy turned around to face JoBeth and looped her arms around the brunette’s waist, filled with a bright sense of happiness to have these silly little moments with her. “Proud of it,” she confirmed, smiling back and getting a bright grin from JoBeth in return.
Swaying back and forth with the tank-top and panty-clad JoBeth for a moment, Amy gave her a quick, affectionate squeeze before letting one of her hands trail down to grab what she thought was her fetching and extremely touchable backside. “But you better get some pants on too,” she started with a playful tap, drawing a giggling squeak from the brunette. “Or I’ll make you go out there like that!”
“Oh, alright,” JoBeth said with a teasing chuckle, letting Amy go to head for the dresser drawer that Amy had set aside for her to get a pair of pajama pants she kept here. Aside from the CDs and other assorted things scattered around the room, that Amy had already given her a little place of her own in her bedroom warmed her heart. She did love the little reminders of Amy that lay scattered around her dorm room as well. They were something pleasant to think about on those nights they were busy with work and could only talk on the phone.
Not finding her pajama pants when she opened the drawer, JoBeth turned around just in time to see Amy tossing them at her from across the room with a mischievous chuckle. “Hey!” she laughed, catching them as Amy crossed the room towards her.
“Forgot you’d just tossed ‘em off over here last night, huh?” Amy asked, lacing her arms around JoBeth’s body but waiting until she had them up around her waist before pulling her close.
“Maybe,” JoBeth said with a chuckle, wrapping her arms around Amy’s waist as well. “You had me a little distracted last night, if I recall…” JoBeth added playfully, remembering the rather exhilarating way that Amy had grabbed her as the bedroom door had finally closed behind them the night before.
“Mmm…” Amy started, pretending to need a moment to think. “I don’t think I remember you complaining…” Amy pointed out with a smirk.
“Oh, I wasn’t,” JoBeth said with a grin, having never found a reason to in the times that she and Amy had started to get intimate. “And you’re the one that had me naked in no time,” JoBeth added with a chuckle, having gotten quite forward about relieving Amy of her clothes shortly afterward herself. “Right before I got
you undressed and then you tied me to your bed and got me all distracted, so really this is your fault,” she said, getting a laugh out of Amy.
“Mm, maybe a little…” Amy allowed with a smile. “But it was still pretty fun,” she said, getting a nod of agreement and a kiss back from JoBeth.
“Hell yeah it was,” JoBeth said, donning a bright and blushing grin after the kiss. “And a pretty good excuse to not remember where they went,” she added, giving Amy an affectionate squeeze.
“That it was,” Amy agreed. “And now that you have your pants back, I think we’re ready.”
Looking thoughtful for a moment, JoBeth didn’t let Amy go quite yet. “Hang on,” she started with an impish smirk, rising up to give Amy a quick kiss. “Okay, now we’re ready!”
Chuckling, Amy was perfectly fine with JoBeth’s momentary delay. “Alright, then it’s time for breakfast,” she said, arching an eyebrow at JoBeth. “What do you think; eggs or french toast?”
“How ‘bout both?” JoBeth asked with a hopeful smile, having sampled and loved both options.
“Okay, both it is,” Amy agreed, letting JoBeth out of the hug but still keeping one arm around her shoulders. “But I think we can let Lauren pick if we have bacon or sausage,” she added as they headed towards the bedroom door.
“Deal!” JoBeth said with a smile, curling her arm around Amy’s waist and cuddling into her side. Opening the door, they headed out in the living room to find Lauren on the couch and soon, the three were making breakfast and getting ready for what sounded like a wonderful day ahead.
--To Be Continued in Chapter 2--
