Claire and Gretchen had been lying in silence inside of their dorm room for a while now. Explaining to the two other girls about Claire’s ability hadn’t been exactly fun, or easy. For a moment, Claire had been tempted to call up her father and ask him to bring in the Haitian. But he’d probably try to wipe Gretchen’s mind too, and she didn’t like that idea at all.
In fact, she kind of hated it, really. She needed Gretchen. It kind of scared her how attached she was to the other girl. That attachment had freaked her out more than the kiss itself. Bad things tended to happen to people she cared about. And tonight had been proof of it. Gretchen never would have been attacked like that if it hadn’t been for her.
But she did like Gretchen. She wasn’t sure if it was the same way Gretchen liked her, but she had liked the kiss. And she’d be lying if she said that she hadn’t been curious when Gretchen told her about her previous sexual experiences. Claire felt so…inexperienced in comparison. She had only really dated West, and they had never gotten very far.
How did two girls even have sex with one another? She wasn’t really sure. Well, she knew the gist of it, but how did they enjoy it?
And before she could think twice about it, she found herself speaking, sitting up to face Gretchen. “Can I ask you a stupid question?”
Gretchen smiled a little, setting the book she was reading aside before propping herself up on her arm. “There’s no such thing. What do you want to ask?”
Claire blushed lightly. It figured that when people were trying to kill them, she was brave, but this is what unnerved her. “So….how exactly do two girls have sex and enjoy it?” Sure, she had gotten curious in the past and looked up some stuff but not anything involving two girls. She knew how people got off during regular sex, but this kind of threw her off.
Gretchen actually laughed at the question. “You’re really cute sometimes, you know that, right?” She paused for a moment, thinking of how to answer it. “Well, there are a lot of ways. I mean, the simplest would be oral, I guess.”
“Oral, like….” Claire trailed off, gesturing down to her nether region.
“That’s right, although, sometimes, it can be fun to use other things as well,” Gretchen paused for a moment before hopping off of her bed. She looked underneath her bed, pulling out a box. She climbed back on the bed, getting ready to open the box.
Claire got up from her bed, walking over toward the other girl now, her curiosity getting the best of her. “What’s in there?”
“A few things that can be used to spice things up in the bedroom,” Gretchen stated, blushing a little as she lifted the lid.
Claire peered inside. Most of the things were novelty items like fuzzy handcuffs, but there was something that caught her eye. It was a clear, rabbit vibrator. She had never seen one in real life before though she had heard about them on shows like Sex and the City. “Is that what I think it is?” She asked in a cautious voice.
“Lots of girls have them,” Gretchen replied in an amused tone. And then she realized something, her eyes going slightly wide in shock. “You’ve never masturbated before, have you?”
It was Claire’s turn to blush again. “When you’re on the run from the government and serial killers, you don’t exactly thing about pleasuring yourself.”
“You should have, it’s good stress relief,” The brunette comments in a matter of fact sort of voice. She paused for a moment, running her fingers over the vibrator. “Do you want to find out what it feels like?” She asked hesitantly. Maybe it was stepping over the line, but after what had happened between them at the storehouse, after Claire saving her, she couldn’t help but feel a little braver. The worst that could happen is that Claire would say no, right?
Still, she found herself holding her breath as she waited for the other’s answer.
Claire bit her lip, unsure of what to say. She weighed her options. On the one hand, Gretchen was her friend, and if she was going to experiment, it should probably be with someone she trusted, but on the other hand, she still wasn’t entirely sure of her feelings, and wouldn’t it almost be like she was leading the other girl on? She didn’t want to do that.
Gretchen apparently took her silence as rejection and waved her hands in front of her, suddenly feeling rather awkward. “I mean, you don’t have to say yes or anything, it was a stupid off-“
And before she could protest anymore, she felt Claire’s lips press up against her own.
Gretchen’s eyes widened in surprise, and she wrapped her arms around the other’s waist, pulling her closer to her. The kiss deepened a little, and they kept on like this for minutes until Claire finally pulled away. She cupped the brunette’s chin and spoke softly, more than just a little nervous. “Show me.”
“Are you sure? We don’t have to,” Gretchen assured her, trying to contain just how happy she was at the sudden turn of events. But even then, she couldn’t stop smiling broadly, her eyes wide and overjoyed. This was more than she could have even hoped so, and even if Claire said no to doing anything more, she was pretty sure she’d still be happy anyways.
“I want you to.”
Gretchen didn’t need to be told twice. She pressed her lips against Claire’s once more, teasing her tongue against her mouth as she carefully laid the blonde down on her bed. She’d be lying if she said she hadn’t fantasized about something like his happening, but she had never expected it to become a reality.
Her hands traveled down Claire’s body and she couldn’t help but grin as the blonde’s breath hitched. She pulled down Claire’s pants down, exposing her bright pink underwear. “You really are a girly girl, aren’t you?” Gretchen asked as she pulled away from the kiss, teasing her a little.
“I guess,” Claire murmured softly, wriggling at the other’s girl touch. Gretchen was leaning in and kissing against her stomach now as she pushed down her underwear and it felt surprisingly good. A warmth flooded between her legs and she felt herself almost aching with need. She found herself almost restless in anticipation as the brunette picked up the vibrator, turning it on.
“Are you sure about this?” Gretchen asked, double checking with Claire one more time.
The former cheerleader just looked at her impatiently now. “If you stop, I’ll kill you.”
“I’ll take that as a yes.” And with that, Gretchen took the toy, pressing it teasingly against Claire’s entrance. The blonde bucked, gasping out in surprise at the sensation. It was unlike anything she had ever felt before. She wanted more.
Gretchen took the hint and slid the vibrator inside of the blonde, positioning the rabbit ears over her clit. She watched as Claire’s eyes widened and she jerked her hips in surprise at the intensity of the sensation. “Incredible, isn’t it?” Gretchen asked, pressing soft kisses against the other’s skin. She was surprised to feel no resistance, but with all the running around and jumping out of windows Claire did, it made enough sense that her hymen might be broken. It was a good thing that hadn’t grown back, at least.
“Y-yes,” Claire groaned out, clenching her hands around the covers of the bed.
“Do you like it?” Gretchen asked, pushing the toy deeper inside of the other girl now, eyes focused on Claire’s reaction. It was one of the most incredible things she had ever seen. Claire usually looked so wound up, so tense and nervous. But not now. She was relaxed and completely unwound, and it made her look even more beautiful than normal.
“Yes,” came another moaned response. Claire’s back arched a little in response. She wondered idly why she hadn’t ever tried something like this on her own before. And without even thinking about it, she found herself giving a request. “More, please.”
Gretchen grinned at her command. “If you say so.” And she went a step further, turning the knob up to the highest setting. Probably a little too much for someone’s first time, but she wanted to see Claire loose complete control. She knew the display would be more than worth it.
Claire didn’t seem able to handle the sudden, added pleasure against her clit as Gretchen moved the vibrator in and out of her and she threw her head back, crying out in pleasure as she suddenly came. She panted softly as Gretchen pulled the toy out of her, cleaning it with tissue before placing it back into the box.
Gretchen smiled, curling up to the other girl and wrapping her arms around her waist. After what they had just done, she figured this would be okay. She pressed a soft kiss against Claire’s cheek. She wasn’t sure what to say, so she stayed silent, letting Claire make the first move for now.
Claire turned in the other’s arms so that she was facing Gretchen. “I liked that,” she murmured softly, brushing some of the brunette’s hair away from her face. She knew now, with some more certainty that it wasn’t just the actions she had enjoyed, but who was doing them to her. “I like you.” She bit her lip, hesitating for a moment. “But I’m not used to things going this well, you have to understand that.”
“I know,” Gretchen whispered, rubbing the other’s back soothingly. “We can take all the time you need. It’s not like we’re married or anything. Just one step at a time, as little or as much as you want, okay?”
Claire smiled; she smiled more brightly and more genuinely than she had since she had left Texas, really. “Okay.” She paused for a moment before adding. “So, does the other stuff feel as good as this did?”
Gretchen grinned a little wickedly. “No.” She leaned in to whisper into Claire’s ear. “Some of it feels even better.”
