Just Off The Key Of Reason

Chapter 15: I Won't Be the One Who Lets Go of You

Camila was not some kind of sex-crazed maniac. Really. She wasn't. But she was human, and she had a gorgeous girlfriend who she loved, and who, luckily, was also human. Very human. Even though she looked like an angel.

And this girl just happened to have her hands under Camila's pajama top and her mouth latched on to Camila's neck, and Camila, well, she was just losing control. She wasn't really sure where she was at the moment. Or what was happening. Or what her name was. Or why there was a dog sitting in the doorway watching them.

She was definitely not in the state of mind to find that appropriately creepy.

Camila only knew that it felt like she was about to burst into flames, and that Lauren was grinning delightfully as she fondled one of Camila's breasts like a plaything.

Camila moaned, making Lauren chuckle and kiss her again, and she ran a hand up and down Lauren's back. God, was she on fire? She had to be on fire. There was just no other explanation.

"Lauren, we-we have to...we have to stop." Camila managed to choke out. How she did so, she had no idea. She only had a sort of vague control of her body right now. She wasn't even doing much, just letting Lauren explore because it was all new for her.

Lauren was having the time of her life, apparently.

She thought back to what Dinah had said, about Lauren probably having no idea what she was doing. And then she regretted that because now she was picturing Dinah. Who was probably right. Lauren was clumsy, but oh so gleeful about loving on Camila.

Lauren pouted and kissed Camila again before dropping her head onto Camila's heaving chest and staring up into brown eyes. Or black eyes, probably. Camila figured she probably looked like a demon right now.

"Why?" Lauren asked, catching her breath.

Camila waited until she was sure she could speak in full sentences before responding. She noticed Cornelius sitting in the doorway. Perverted demon puppy.

"We're getting carried away. And I know you're not ready to..." Camila stopped herself before "go all the way" came out of her mouth. Hey, self-control, look at that.

"To what?" Lauren asked obliviously, eyes bright, still draped on top of Camila, running her fingers along Camila's jaw.

Contentedly clueless.

"You're a virgin, right?" Camila asked gently.

Lauren's eyes dropped to Camila's neck and her hand stilled. She nodded silently.

"Lauren, look at me." Camila whispered.

She brushed tangled brown hair out of Lauren's eyes and smiled softly up at her. She waited until Lauren met her eyes again.

"It's okay honey. We won't do anything we aren't ready for." Camila said quietly. Lauren moved her head so her ear was pressed against Camila's chest.

"I love you, and you're just so..." Camila chuckled wryly. "We just had to stop."

She ran her hand through Lauren's hair, and Lauren took a deep breath, blowing warm air onto Camila's arm.

"Are you ready?" Lauren asked hesitantly a moment later.

Wait, what? Right now?

Camila's eyes flitted around. She valiantly restrained herself from blurting out "hell yeah" and stayed quiet for a moment. She couldn't lie and say "no." Lying to Lauren would be like...punching a puppy. Or something. And not a demon puppy like Cornelius.

Lauren was still waiting for her response.

"Whenever you are." Camila said quietly, and honestly, tracing lightly up the back of Lauren's neck. "Weeks, months, years. Whatever, big bear. I love you."
