Hunger in my Heart

Chapter 25

Kimberley finished blow drying her hair and then stood and looked at herself in the vanity mirror. She was wrapped in a towel and nothing else and just the thought of what she was about to do sent a stampede of butterflies through her stomach and caused her heart to start pounding. She watched as her face turned pink under the last of her summer tan, taking a deep breath she tried to calm herself somewhat. It's not like she hadn't ever done this before or anything, it's just that almost seven years of anticipation could be slightly daunting. This was really quite terrifying she thought, but she honestly couldn't take it anymore. If they didn't make love soon she was going to die from frustration.

She'd been here with Cheryl non-stop for five days now, and even though they'd had numerous snogging sessions and even a little more on or two occasions, one or both of them had always pulled back before things got completely out of hand. Oddly, they had by some unspoken decree not made out when they were in bed together, so far they had managed to go to bed and simply be together and sleep, though she had spent most of last night awake, she remembered wryly. As a result she had been walking around in a state of permanent arousal, wet and ready for days. She had a feeling Cheryl was in much the same boat, the sexual tension was almost visible between them at this point, with both of them twitchy and reactive to the slightest touch. It was definitely time for her to step up and do something, it would be up to Cheryl to tell her to stop, though she hoped to god she wouldn't, because she really didn't think she could take this anymore.

Taking a deep breath she turned off the light and made her way out of her room and down the hall to Cheryl's room. Quietly opening the door she slipped into the room, taking a moment to let her eyes adjust to the room lit only by the moonlight, she stood still for a moment. Jesus, she felt jittery and a little sick with nerves much like the first time she had stepped out on stage by herself on their first arena tour. Looking towards the bed she was surprised to find that Cheryl wasn't in it, that could throw her whole seduction routine off a bit she thought mockingly to herself. She was just about to turn and look around for her when warm hands landed on her bare shoulders and then slid down each arm, she shivered in reaction.

Cheryl had been quietly sitting on the window seat waiting for Kimberley to come to bed, she had intended to talk to her, convince her to make love, she was well and truly at the end of her ability to spend another night lying next to Kimberley and not touch her. She had been initially surprised when Kimberley came in wearing only a towel, but sometimes Kimberley was all about non-verbal cues and this was definitely her cue. Standing up she had quietly approached the object of her desire and carefully slid her hands down the smooth skin of Kimberley's shoulders and arms.

"Turn around, love," Cheryl whispered as her lips grazed Kimberley's shoulder.

Kimberley obeyed and found herself face to face with Cheryl; they stood there staring at each other for a beat before they both moved towards each other simultaneously. Cheryl wrapped one arm around Kimberley's waist as the other grabbed the back of her head and pulled her down to meet her lips. Then they were kissing with abandon their lips and tongues sliding against each other in a passionate dance. Kimberley had both arms tightly around Cheryl's waist as they stood in the middle of the floor kissing for several minutes. Kimberley abruptly broke off the kiss and dragged Cheryl by a hand toward the bed, pausing at the side of the bed she was suddenly unsure of what to do. Making a quick decision she brought her hand up to the towel and untucked it with one hand and simply let it drop to the floor, all the while watching Cheryl.

Kimberley felt momentarily self-conscious but gained confidence when she saw Cheryl's eyes roving over her now naked form hungrily. Not stopping to think, she brought both hands to the bottom of Cheryl's top and looked at her enquiringly; Cheryl immediately got the message and brought both hands over her head allowing Kimberley to easily pull off her top. Cheryl then quickly pulled down her PJ bottoms and stepped out of them. They stood there in the moonlight, naked and just looked at each other for the first time as lovers.
