When Dreams Touch Reality

"Kels, where do you want the cooler with the waters?" Leah Michaels asked as she approached the Ford Escape parked with all of its doors open in the early morning sunlight. She looked around for her best friend, Kelsey Saunders, finally noticing her on her knees in the backseat trying to organize bags of clothing and other belongings needed for a week's stay at the summer cabin of Kelsey's parents.

"Just hand it to me, it will fit behind this center console," came Kelsey's somewhat muffled reply as she struggled to arrange everything so it wouldn't shift and spill the various contents once they were on the open road. "We'll want to access it easily, and there's just enough room for it right here in the middle."

Leah handed Kelsey the small cooler, the final item to be packed. She couldn't help but notice how her nylon running shorts stretched taut across her Kelsey's backside or how her lithe legs invitingly ran from her sandals up to the point where they disappeared beneath the aquamarine-colored fabric.

"Oh my God," Leah thought as her eyes covertly surveyed Kelsey's kneeling body, "she's just so adorable."

"Do you girls have everything you need?" asked Kelsey's mom, stepping off the stoop while pulling her light robe tight around her body as she walked onto the driveway where Kelsey and Leah were completing their packing. Even though it was just past six on this glorious summer Saturday morning, Maggie Saunders had been up since five helping her daughter pack food for the week-long trip Kelsey and Leah had planned to celebrate the end of their first year at college.

The Saunders' cabin was a two-hour drive from suburban Minneapolis to the lakes region of central Minnesota, the perfect distance to reach the north woods without requiring many stops along the way. Kelsey and Leah had been planning this trip since the depths of winter, which given Minnesota's unpredictable winter and spring weather, seemed like it would never arrive. But the cold months of January and February transitioned to the rainy, chilly months of March, April, and May, and now June had finally arrived. Just earlier this past week, the thermometer reached 90° making it finally feel like summer in the northland once again.

With some difficulty, Kelsey finally extricated herself from the Escape's back seat without upending the careful packing she had just completed. Looking at Leah Kelsey smiled.

"There, I think we are ready to get on the road," Kelsey said as she dried her hands on her oversized tee shirt as it fell back into place nearly covering her shorts. Kelsey's shirt, bearing the faded logo of her old high school mascot concealed her very slender features. As she straightened up, her sandy blond hair hung loose across her shoulders. Kelsey loved the feeling of the fabric on her bare skin beneath her clothes. Truth be told, Kelsey almost never wore a bra, she only owned one or two, and save for the days of her period, she never wore panties. It was her kinky secret, and she'd frequently casually touch her bare skin in a variety of locations both private and public, furtively teasing the unsuspecting world around her.

"You girls be careful and drive safe," Maggie said as she surveyed the Escape, shutting doors as she spoke. "Call me when you get there and don't hesitate to call your father if you have any questions." Maggie extended her arms towards her daughter, and they briefly embraced, though Maggie hoped Kelsey wouldn't pull herself too close to her body as she was very naked beneath the thin robe with plans to seductively awaken her still-sleeping husband once the girls were on the road.

"Thanks for letting us use the cabin," Leah added as she entered the passenger side.

Kelsey adjusted the driver's seat and glanced at her own car parked alongside the garage. Her parents insisted she drive the Escape instead of her own Honda Civic as the Escape had room for all of their bags and was eleven years newer than Kelsey's car. Her parents insisted the girls take the newer car, it being both roomier and more dependable.

Kelsey and Leah had known each other for about ten years, when the Michaels moved into the neighborhood, and the two girls played on the same youth soccer and softball teams. Neither were athletic so by high school their sports careers were over, meaning any post-secondary scholarship would be achieved from academic merit, not from sports. Both Kelsey's and Leah's families wanted their daughters to learn fiscal responsibility, so they agreed the two coeds agreed to attend a local community college then transfer to the four-year school of their choice once they completed their associate degrees rather than send them off to four-year schools right out of high school. Kelsey was studying accounting while Leah enjoyed writing and was enrolled in the English degree program.

But on this beautiful Saturday morning, school was the furthest thing from either young woman's minds as Kelsey started the engine and pulled out onto the road that would lead to either's first ever solo adventure.

"Free at last!" Kelsey exclaimed as she rolled down her window and reached for the knob on the car radio.

They chatted idly about school, the upcoming week, and just about anything and everything else two young women (they both hated being called "girls") could think of knowing they were away from parents for an entire week. There was so much to look forward to, swimming, laying out in the sun, kayaking, Kelsey thought she could probably get away with sneaking a little of her parent's alcohol though neither she nor Leah were of legal drinking age.

The mood settled down and became more relaxed once the metro area was in the rearview mirror and the road traversed through farm country.

Leah, a little taller and bigger-bodied than her friend, shook her light brown hair out of the ponytail she wore which allowed her hair to cascade to the middle of her back. With her window also rolled down, the air blew her hair every which way until she forced it out of her face.

"Kels, do you mind if I get more comfortable?" Leah asked as Kelsey was watching the road ahead.

"We're on vacation, do whatever you want."

"OK," Leah said as she reached up under the back of her tee shirt to unclasp her bra. She removed her bra that way women can remove a bra without removing the shirt on top of it. "There," she said as she randomly tossed it into a bag in the back seat, "that's much better." Leah's breasts were significantly larger than Kelsey's, whose own breasts had stopped growing around the time she transitioned from 10th to 11th grade.

At some point the conversation topic shifted to their parents and house rules. Following a chat about curfews and dating, Kelsey asked, "how often do you think your parents mess around?"

"Eww, why do you bring that up?" came Leah's bewildered reply.

"No particular reason, other than my mom wasn't wearing anything under her robe back there in the driveway."

"Oh my God, Kels," Leah said as she turned to look at Kelsey, "how do you know?"

"My arm bumped her boob when she hugged me, and I couldn't feel any bra strap when I grabbed her back." Kelsey then started giggling like she could no longer hold in her thoughts. "I'm wondering if mom is riding on top of dad as we speak?!?"

"Well, I guess it's normal, I mean how else would we have got here? Yet it's kind of gross to think about it," Leah was also giggling, "but I recall looking at one of my mom's women's magazines that had an article about sex after menopause. I guess we have a lot to look forward to."

A farmer's tractor pulling a wagon along the road brought Kelsey's attention back to driving and she let the topic of her parent's sex life fade away. She hated passing on two lane roads, so she patiently waited until it was safe then sped around the farmer.

In time, she turned onto the road that led to the lake where the cabin was at. Kelsey had been coming here since her grandparents owned the cabin and was well-acquainted with the road and its curves and turns. After her grandfather passed away, her grandmother had sold the place to her father. Much of her youth involved time at the cabin, it was part of who she was.

Kelsey turned the Escape into the driveway and reached for her phone to text her mom about their safe arrival. She briefly imagined her mom looking at her phone while taking dad's erect cock doggy style on the living room couch. Forcing that image from her mind, she looked at the lake grabbed a couple of the cloth bags with her clothes in and headed inside.

It took about twenty minutes to unpack and stow all the food into the refrigerator and cupboards. The cabin had two bedrooms, so each girl took a room and unpacked personal items into available dresser drawers.

Given their early start, by 9AM Kelsey and Leah were ready to begin their week away. Since it was a weekend, the first really warm weekend at that, the lake was full of people fishing, swimming, and boating. The sounds of kids squealing, boat motors, lawn mowers, chain saws, and barking dogs filled the air, especially on Saturday. However, by around 3PM on Sunday afternoon, a noticeable shift had occurred. Boats returned to docks, families packed up and returned home, the lawn mowers and chain saws were put away, leaving only the sound of rustling leaves and chirping birds as the north woods slowly reclaimed the lake country. One or two cabins housed either year-round residents or retirees without work schedules, but by the time Kelsey and Leah contemplated their Sunday evening meal, they had the lake mostly to themselves. All of the cabins closest to the Saunders' cabin were quiet.

Kelsey and Leah assembled a packaged stir fry dinner adding some chicken breast to the mix which sated their hunger.

"Let's head back to the water," Kelsey suggested as they were finishing cleaning up after supper.

Both young women had been in their swimsuits, modest bikinis with running shorts over their bottoms all day but had only waded into the lake once or twice while the weekenders were active.

"This is so peaceful," Leah said softly, almost as if afraid to disturb nature.

"I know," came Kelsey's lazy response, "and to think that things should be like this all week. This was a good week to come up here."

Leah slid her running shorts off and walked into the water before propelling herself into the lake. Kelsey did the same. Soon both were swimming approximately perhaps fifty yards out then racing back to the dock. Leah, being the more accomplished swimmer, easily "won" every time.

"Leah, have you ever skinny dipped?"

"No, why do you ask?"

"Because, you dork, since there's absolutely nobody else on the lake right now... why not?" Kelsey reached around and untied her top revealing her small breasts and small but very erect nipples.

"Kels, are you crazy?" Leah kept her voice down, knowing how sound traveled so easily across water.

"Come on, join me, I dare you."

"Kels, I'm not going to take my clothes off out here."

"Why not? You've never had the chance to do this, and now we have the lake to ourselves. Come on, I dare you!" Kelsey repeated, her voice becoming louder than Leah thought wise.

"How do you know we're alone? I mean what if there's some old guy with binoculars or a telescope checking you out right now?"

Defiantly, Kelsey stood up on the metal dock. "Then he'll see this!" she exclaimed as she pulled off her bikini bottoms. She mockingly mooned the other side of the lake.

"What the hell are you doing?" Leah stood up as to shield her friend from the lurking stares of imagined perverts queuing along the shore to ogle her friend.

"Leah, chill. I study accounting, and I work as a part-time bookkeeper's assistant. Numbers are my life, but they're boring. I'm a horny nineteen-year-old, and I bet you are too. I'm OK with you not joining me, but it's hot out, and I want to get naked!"

Kelsey dove headfirst into the lake with a splash Leah felt was loud enough to rouse the entire lake, though she couldn't help but admire this side of Kelsey, a side she had never seen before. She also couldn't help but admire how cute Kelsey's naked body was as she surfaced, spit out water, then swam back out towards the middle of the lake. Kelsey had always played things safe, but here she was in the middle of a lake in a state that officially boasted of having 10,000 lakes without a stitch of clothing on.

Kelsey dated a couple of guys, but didn't have a steady boyfriend. Kelsey had told Leah at some point that school was hard enough, and she didn't need the drama of some boy whose soul objective was getting into her pants. Leah respected Kelsey for her practicality and her levelheadedness in a world that demanded so much of young women like themselves. But here was studious, number-crunching Kelsey swimming bare-assed naked on a lake in northern Minnesota as the sun was transitioning from daylight to twilight. The sun's golden glow silhouetted some distant thunderheads, but Leah was too focused on Kesley's nude body to notice.

"God, I love her, and yes, I definitely am a horny nineteen-year-old," Leah muttered to herself as Kelsey had now begun her return trip to the dock.

"Too bad for you," Kelsey chirped as she stood and walked onto the shore. "The water feels great, especially on my bare boobs. Just imagine how great it would feel on big ones like yours."

Realizing she had neglected to bring a towel with her, Kelsey stepped into her sandals then proudly paraded naked up the embankment, eventually sitting down on a small bench swing that her dad had built a small arbor around.

Leah, meanwhile, stood transfixed on the dock as Kelsey nonchalantly exited the lake in all her naked glory, water shedding off her body every step of the way. She had taken an art history class during the fall semester and was reminded of the work of the French painter Pierre Dupuis La Vague, where a nude young woman emerges from the sea. Leah picked up Kelsey's discarded swimsuit and followed her to the arbor.

"You're crazy," Leah laughed at Kelsey's boldness. "What if someone saw you?"

"First, maybe I am a little crazy, but dang, that was fun. Second, what if someone saw me? Who cares? What are they going to do? Call the police? We're nine miles from the nearest town, and I don't even know if they have a cop there. The sheriff is at the county seat, and that would take about forty minutes just to get here. One naked girl on a quiet lake is hardly enough to disturb the peace. Third, promise me you'll join me next time."

"I'll think about it," came Leah's unconvincing reply. "Do you know you have a mosquito on your boob?"

"Yeah, it's probably time to go in," Kelsey laughed as she swatted at her chest. Sure enough, she killed a mosquito which left a little blood on her left breast.

"Wait!" Kelsey exclaimed in a voice of feigned urgency.

"What now?"

"I need a mosquito to bite my other boob, otherwise my left one will swell and be twice the size of my right one."

"You're awful," Leah said, but secretly admired how confident her friend was regarding her body. Some women might feel self-conscious about having such small breasts, but Kelsey accepted herself for who she was and how she looked. That was Kelsey, endlessly positive about everything, a person who embraced her life with enthusiastic energy. But Leah was mindful of the stillness of dusk, when millions of mosquitoes swarmed across the Minnesota landscape. "Alright, Miss Naked Minnesota," she added with a hint of false exasperation, "now let's go inside before they start biting your bare butt."

As the evening wore on, Kelsey and Leah both showered and settled onto the sofa turning on the television. Each wore loose fitting tops and pajama bottoms, and idly streamed a show or two, but neither were overly enthused about what was on. A rumble echoed from beyond the open window.

"Was that thunder?" Kelsey asked.

"Either that or your naked display earlier attracted a motorcycle gang," Leah drolly retorted.

Leah stood up and leaned towards the window, her body silhouetted by a table lamp. Kelsey's eyes caught the curves of Leah's breasts hanging freely, slightly jiggling as Leah manipulated the blinds to better see outside. A distant flash of lightning lit a portion of the night sky, though it took well over thirty seconds before the thunder sounded. Kelsey did the quick math her dad had taught her and concluded the storm was at least six maybe eight miles away. She looked at her phone and there were no warnings, so she determined it was just a routine thunderstorm, most likely with no threat of damaging winds.

"Leah," Kelsey began, "I'm beat. I'm going to turn it."

"Turn into what?"

"A vampire. So, watch out or I'll sink my fangs into your neck!"

"OK, I'll leave my neck ready," Leah said aloud. Reflecting on Kelsey's words, she then thought to herself, "please do, I won't resist."

With a gentle smile and a slight chuckle, Kelsey bid her friend good night.

Kelsey went to her room (Leah was sleeping in Kelsey's parents' room), turned the bed sheets down, and climbed into bed. She thought about reading some erotica but felt tired enough to just drift off to dreamland.

Leah did the same, but opened the curtains so she could watch the storm move in. Lightning became more frequent, and the thunder grew closer. Before climbing into bed, Leah slipped out of her pajamas and got into bed nude. She opened her Kindle to an erotic novel she was enjoying, picturing Kelsey as the main character in her story was making love. Leah's hand slowly glided along her naked curves until it found her dark, thick patch of pubic curls. Her pussy was already well-lubricated as she slipped first one then two fingers into her waiting vagina.

"Kelsey," she whispered, being very quiet so not to draw attention from the real Kelsey on the other end of the cabin. "Kelsey," Leah's voice barely audible, "please make love to me. Please let me eat your pretty hairless pussy." Though she had been casual when reacting to Kelsey's earlier live show, Leah had secretly been taking accurate mental notes for this exact purpose. Any pleasure she gave herself tonight would be to a mental image of the girl sleeping on the other end of the cabin.

For close to an hour as the storm moved in, Leah edged herself, her fingers dancing randomly around her sex. She read her novel, reflecting on Kelsey's nude swim. A much louder thunderclap sounded just as rain began bouncing off the cabin's metal roof and the deck outside. Leah moved her fingers faster, pumping in and out of her love hole. She had closed her e-reader but left the bed lamp on. She had kicked the blankets off of her body and she watched her hand making love to her own body.

That same last thunderclap had roused Kelsey from a deep sleep. She lay in her bed trying to decide if she really needed to pee or if she could just roll over and return to sleeping. A twinge from her bladder told her to just get up and go to the bathroom. The rain bouncing off the metal roof sounded like drums from a marching band as she made her way through the kitchen towards the bathroom. She noticed the light emanating from Leah's open door. Kelsey figured perhaps Leah preferred sleeping with the light on, but with the noise from the rain, she'd probably not risk waking her sleeping friend.

When she reached Leah's door she couldn't help but look inside. To Kelsey's surprise, there lay Leah quietly moaning in all her naked glory in the throes of self-pleasure, one hand squeezing a breast the other pumping her furry vagina. It was evident that Leah had been masturbating for some time as a sheen of perspiration glistened across her body. The light highlighted random sweaty rivulets that pooled in the valley between her quaking breasts and across her curvy abdomen. Staring at the sight before her, Kelsey couldn't move her feet. Transfixed, Kelsey watched her best friend's intimate moment. Soon Leah appeared to be approaching climax as her voice was grunting, and her breathing was raspy and hard. What Kelsey heard next completely caught her off guard.

In a squeaky voice, Leah whimpered, "ahh, ahh, oh yes, yes, Kelsey I'm coming for you, baby, I'm coming. Oh Kelsey, I love you. Ahhhh..." With her orgasm Leah's voice trailed off. Without ever opening her eyes Leah rolled onto her side and allowed sleep to descend over her sated body.

Leah's climax broke the spell. Kelsey took advantage of the continued noise from the rain and made her way quickly to the toilet. She peed as fast as she could so she could return to her room. Fearful of drawing attention to herself, Kelsey rose from the toilet, stepped out of her pajama bottoms and carried them in her hands as she nearly ran back to her room. She had a lot to process, and she knew right then that she would be hard-pressed to get back to sleep easily.

Kelsey tossed her pajama pants onto the floor, slipped out of her top and crawled back into bed. "Leah," she thought, "why did you say those words? Are you really in love with me? How long have you felt this way? How do I feel? Oh my God, what did I just see? My best friend, oh my."

Emotionally exhausted, but comforted by the rain and occasional thunder, Kelsey finally drifted back asleep, though her dreams filled with images of Leah masturbating haunted her all night.

Kelsey woke to the sensation of a cool, gentle breeze blowing through the window dancing across her nakedness. It was another beautiful early summer morning. Suddenly, everything came back from the night before. She realized that she was naked, and she had left her door open. Was Leah still sleeping? Had she woke up and saw her sleeping naked?

Not sure how she'd face Leah, Kelsey rose out of bed and threw on a robe and walked to the kitchen. She walked past Leah's door, but the room was empty. Kelsey made her way to the electric tea kettle and turned it on. She grabbed a cup and a tea bag and waited for the water. Once she poured the water in her cup she headed towards the deck. There sat Leah at the picnic table.

"Hey," Leah smiled. "That was some rain we had last night. An inch and a half according to the rain gauge over there." Leah seemed non-pulsed, even casual, like she was unaware that Kelsey had any idea of her masturbatory confession last night.

"Yeah," came Kelsey's answer, "that was a loud storm. Any branches down?"

"No, there was no wind. How'd you sleep?"

"Not bad, I fell asleep pretty much right away."

"I enjoy a storm, so I was awake for a good while as it approached." Leah was acting as if nothing had happened. And why not? She was oblivious to what Kelsey had seen and heard.

Butterflies fluttered in Kelsey's stomach. She felt that her breathing was labored. She decided she'd not confront Leah, though she felt like a chicken, opting for the path of least resistance.

"What shall we do today?" Leah asked.

"I was thinking I'd go for a walk along the road. You want to join me?" Kelsey may not have initially agreed with her decision to let things drop, but she was in no mood for a confrontation.

"I was thinking of taking a kayak out along the lake. I heard some loons this morning and wanted to see if they have a baby yet."

Kelsey felt relieved that Leah had other plans so she wouldn't be joining her. "OK, well enjoy your kayaking, I'll catch up with you afterwhile."

Despite birds singing melodic songs, and the soft breeze on her face, Kelsey could only think of Leah. That image of her masturbating, naked and spread eagled atop her bed, was etched in her mind. Leah's cries of passion, professing her love for Kelsey, still rang in her ears. Kelsey wasn't upset, and by no means was she angry. It was the confusion caused by never having thought of Leah as more than just a friend.

Kelsey wandered along the empty country road for well over an hour. Gradually, she realized that there was a growing wetness between her legs then suddenly her bladder screamed for relief. It was times like these when she admired males. First, most men have almost no modesty, her dad included. When he had to go when he was outside, most times he'd just turn around and go. Which led to her second point. All a guy had to do was unzip and pull it out, something women couldn't do nearly as easily. During her entire walk thus far, only one car had driven past her, but she could sense that the second she pulled down her pants, trucks, tractors, and tour buses full of camera-wielding tourists in white starched shorts and Hawaiian shirts would suddenly appear out of nowhere. Scanning her surroundings, Kelsey saw that approximately fifty feet off the road was a cluster of trees that would provide her with the shelter she needed.

Kelsey made her way off the roadside up a slight embankment to the semi-secluded area behind the largest of the small trees. She stared in all directions before she determined she truly was alone and pulled her pants down. It took perhaps thirty seconds to complete her business, but it felt more like ten minutes, but no car came along the road. However, when she heard a twig snap behind her she nearly screamed. She pivoted only to see a rabbit chewing on a leaf.

Kelsey loved wildlife of any kind, and she soon forgot about her present state and started talking softly.

"Hey, mama bunny, don't mind me."

As the morning air caressed her exposed skin, bringing a sense of peace. At once it was all clear to her. She longed for Leah. She wasn't sure if she felt romantic love for her best friend, but she certainly would call their relationship a loving relationship. She always cherished her friendship with Leah. They'd shared so many secrets and dreams, fears and concerns, and every emotion in between throughout their lives. Kelsey decided that if Leah loved her in a sexual way, then so be it.

Behind the tree, Kelsey sat down, pulling her pants all the way off. Next, she pulled off her tee shirt displaying all of her small features to mama bunny and any bird that happened to be in the trees. As usual, Kelsey wore no underwear, so once again she was proudly naked outdoors in the Minnesota wilderness.

"Since you're not wearing any clothes," Kelsey said to the watching bunny, "I thought I'd join you. Isn't it just lovely out here?" Then, reflecting on the oddity of the situation she silently mused, "I bet Dr. Doolittle never thought to jack-off while talking to the animals."

She tossed aside a twig or two to get more comfortable, then lay on the ground gazing up at the soft clouds drifting across the blue sky. Kelsey closed her eyes, parted her legs, and began running her fingers along her exposed body. One hand caressed her neck, shoulders, and chest, while the other started lower, from her tummy to her thighs and hips. One hand settled on her small, sensitive nipples while the other made its way to the moist folds of her sex.

Kelsey spread her labia and dipped her finger into her opening then rubbed her wetness the length of her slit, ultimately focusing upon her small erect clitoris emerging from its sheltering hood.

Soft moans escaped her mouth. "Oh, Leah," she said, "do you want my pussy? Do you want to lick my pretty little flower? I wish you were here now. I'd ask you to come here and let me see those beautiful tits. Then you could watch me while I play with myself."

Kelsey couldn't recall when she had been so focused while masturbating. Occasionally, she'd read an erotic story or even watch porn, but by the time she achieved orgasm, she was not thinking of anyone in particular.

This time was different. She held the image of Leah from last night as her fingers pumped in and out of her vagina then flicked across her clit. She knew she was getting close, just another second or two and then she came.

"Oh, God, oh fuck, ah Leah (wasn't that a song title?), oh God, I'm coming! Leah. Leah."

Kelsey was spent. As she slowly regained her senses she looked around. Still no car, but mama bunny was gone. "Maybe I turned her on so much she's on her way home to make more baby bunnies." Kelsey chuckled at the thought. She stood and brushed the dirt from her bare backside and pulled her clothing back on. It was time to return home and see how she could approach Leah.

By the time Kelsey returned, Leah was sitting on the lakeshore, her kayak pulled on shore beside her.

"Hey, girl," Leah smiled as Kelsey made her way to the lake.

"Hey," came Kelsey's muted response.

They made small talk for a few minutes. To Kelsey, Leah seemed utterly oblivious to Kelsey's changed demeanor. Leah kept talking about everything that didn't seem to matter, the weather, the loons, how smooth her kayak cut through the water. It was driving Kelsey crazy, but she couldn't find a good segue into what she really wanted to talk about. Finally, Kelsey decided to jump in and take control of the conversation.

"Leah," Kelsey finally said, "do you have a boyfriend?"

"No," Leah answered looking quizzically at her friend, "but you already know that I don't."

"A girlfriend, maybe?"

Leah stared more intensely at Kelsey. "By 'girlfriend' are you asking if I like girls? Why do you ask?"

"I don't know, maybe because we've never really talked about sexual preferences."

"No, I don't have a girlfriend, at least not in that regard. But I've not thought all that much about it. I mean I haven't really explored things like that."

"You seemed to be exploring yourself rather thoroughly last night," Kelsey mused to herself, but knew she couldn't come out and say that. "A crush, maybe?" she finally spit out before Leah might change the subject again.

"A crush? Yeah, I'd say I've had a few crushes in my life," Leah stopped looking directly at Kelsey and focused on some clouds in the sky.

"Anyone I know?"

"What brings this on?" Leah asked turning towards Kelsey, a quizzical look upon her face.

Kelsey felt like she was trapped, that she'd have to ask Leah directly if she was Leah's crush.

"Leah," I don't want to sound weird or scare you, "but last night during the storm I had to go to the bathroom, and I walked past your room."

"And?" Leah's voice suddenly quieted as a sense of deep trepidation washed over her, a sharp knot formed in her throat as she attempted to swallow.

"I saw you and heard you touching yourself and saying my name," Kelsey's voice was barely audible.

Leah's hands covered her face. "Oh my God! I'm so sorry, I don't know what to say." Leah quickly felt shameful tears forming in her eyes.

"No, wait, don't..." Kelsey sat up, pondering whether she should reach over to Leah.

Leah attempted to say something, but a lump formed in her throat that felt like it was burning as she swallowed which rendered her momentarily speechless. Kelsey moved over to Leah and crouched down next to her, extending her arm across Leah's shoulders.

"Don't be alarmed, I'm not mad. I thought it was cute," Kelsey began, straining herself to come up with the right words, a skill she was rapidly realizing she did not possess. "What would you say if I told you I just did the exact same thing as you did last night, but on the side of the road after I peed on a tree?"

Leah turned and gazed at Kelsey, a bewildered look on her face.

"You what?" Leah's expression ran from shock to disbelief as she stared as Kelsey spoke.

"Yeah, I realized I needed to pee, but I was out along the road, so I went behind a tree. I had been thinking about what I had seen you do last night and didn't know how aroused I was until I went to wipe myself, but didn't have a tissue. One thing led to another and the next thing I knew was I was frigging myself bare-assed naked along County Road 139 hoping some farmer wouldn't decide at that same moment to go to town." Kelsey was nervously giggling now, knowing that the tension was easing. Still, tears were filling her eyes to at the sense of relief now that she had what was bothering her out in the open.

"You masturbated alongside the road?"

"Well, I was several feet away from the road behind a tree, but yes, that's what I did. And do you know what I said as I came?"

"At this point I can't even guess. What did you say?"

"A girl's name, that's what I said," Kelsey had her face right next to Leah's by this point. "I said 'Leah' about fifteen times, each time my pussy spasmed I said 'Leah'." Kelsey was crying by the time she finished her sentence.

"Kels," Leah said as her hand went to Kelsey's face, "I don't know if I'm gay or not, and I don't really care. The world always wants to categorize everyone, and I don't want to be categorized. But I do know that I love you and have loved you for a long time. If that makes me gay, then so be it. I'll say it again, right here right now. Kelsey Saunders, I love you."

As she finished speaking, Leah began kissing Kelsey's cheek until Kelsey shifted her face so they could kiss on the lips.

"And I love you, Leah. Likewise, I don't know if I'm gay, and I also don't feel that it's necessary to be sorted into closed sets like numbers. I just know that I've never felt like this towards anyone, boy or girl, and it's an amazing feeling; nothing else matters. Yes, Leah, I know that I love you, too, but let's not worry about labels. Let's just be Leah and Kelsey, two young women who love each other."

"I'm good with that," Leah said as she continued showering Kelsey's face with kisses.

Their kiss continued as Kelsey lay back on the beach, drawing Leah down on top of her. She didn't know if anyone else was out on the lake, and she couldn't have cared less if they were. The only thing that mattered was Leah, and how wonderful her lips felt against her own. The kiss continued as Kelsey opened her mouth to allow Leah's tongue full access to her mouth. Their tongues did battle as Kelsey felt her hair rubbing in the dirt of the shore. Fingers intertwined, then explored faces. Kelsey felt the softness of Leah's full breast against her own small breasts. Kisses turned to moans but then came the sound of a boat motor puttering as it passed them. Leah and Kelsey finally broke their kiss and sat up looking at the stunned elderly couple in the pontoon boat.

"Sorry," Kelsey called out to the boat, "we kind of got carried away." Both Kelsey and Leah were laughing.

"Don't mind us, we saw you, but it was too late to turn away," the woman on board replied. "Young love takes many forms these days, and you seem to be enjoying each other's company. You're Kelsey Saunders, right? Don't worry, your secret is safe with us."

Kelsey looked closer at the couple and knew they were the Moyers, a retired couple from across the lake. Her dad and Mr. Moyers had helped build the Moyers' dock a few years back.

"Hey, Mr. and Mrs. Moyers," was all Kelsey could sputter out of her mouth. She hated being so formal but couldn't for the life of her think of their first names anyway. "That's OK," she added, "we need to get inside now anyway."

"I bet you do," Mrs. Moyers said with a smile. She couldn't see Kelsey's face, but if she could, she would have seen cheeks red with embarrassment, far redder than any sunburn would have caused. "Bye, now," came Mrs. Moyers parting words, "have a nice day."

"You bet your ass we will," Kelsey said, but only loud enough for the startled Leah to appreciate. "Come on, Leah, there's something I want to show you inside the cabin."

They walked back up the hill to the cabin, arms around each other.

"Dang, I got sand in my hair," Kelsey said as they entered the warm cabin. "Could you help me wash it?" she said as she turned to Leah.

"Yes, I will," Leah said, already untying her bikini top and pulling it over her head. Kelsey admired Leah's breasts as they fell out of her top and settled on her chest.

Kelsey and Leah walked into the shower, hands never leaving the other's bare skin as the hot water washed over them. Leah lathered shampoo into Kelsey's hair massaging her scalp as she worked the grains of sand out of her hair.

Fifteen minutes later they were toweling each other off as Kelsey guided Leah to her bed. She thought about going to her parents' room with the bigger bed, but something seemed weird about losing her virginity to another girl in the bed where her parents slept.

"Leah, I want you. I want to make love to you," Kelsey said as she lay down, again pulling Leah on top of her. "But just remember that I've never done this before."

Leah took in the magnificent sight of Kelsey's nude body. Her eyes devoured the small breasts then looked at Kelsey's flat stomach, her very cute outie navel, then stared at the hairless slit which formed Kelsey's vagina. Desiring finally to feel the warmth of Kelsey's entire body, Leah allowed herself to press down on her prone friend.

"Kels?" Leah asked softly, "what was it you wanted to show me? You said on the beach that you wanted to show me something," Leah clarified when she noticed Kelsey's bewildered gaze.

"Oh yeah," Kelsey finally said, trying to sound as seductive as her inexperienced mind could be. "I wanted to show you my naked body in my bedroom where you could tell me exactly what you want me to do to you."

Kelsey thought she might sound corny instead of horny and she didn't want to ruin the moment so with those words, she rolled Leah over onto her back and positioned herself above Leah. On all fours, Kelsey first tickled Leah by dangling her hair over her face and shoulder as she slowly swayed her head to and fro using her hair like one might use a feather to arouse their partner. The sensation sent shivers across Leah's prone body.

Next Kelsey kissed Leah's mouth then quickly kissed eyes, cheeks, forehead, ears, and neck several times each before moving down to shoulders, neck and chest. Kelsey ran her tongue leaving a saliva trail from nipple to nipple. Leah's moans grew louder with each flick of Kelsey's tongue.

"Kels, that feels wonderful, keep going. I need your tongue on my pussy." Leah's voice expressed a sense of urgency, but Kelsey was content to tease her companion.

Kelsey's mouth kept up its assault on Leah's splayed breasts, gradually moving to Leah's slightly rounded tummy. Leah had a barely noticeable happy trail of soft hairs extending from her navel down towards her dark mound. Kelsey ran her tongue up and down this strip several times before turning her attention to Leah's luxuriant patch of unkempt pubic hair. With her lips covering her teeth, Kelsey nibbled at random curls pulling upwards until Leah's skin began to lift up.

"Please, my sweet darling Kels," Leah begged, "please, oh please lick me. I need your tongue on my pussy. Please make me come."

Kelsey finally decided she had tormented Leah long enough. She positioned her mouth directly above Leah's hair-covered slit, then lowered her mouth so her tongue could part the labia and access Leah's treasure.

Leah exhaled a loud moan of relief once she felt Kelsey's tongue came in contact with her inner pink flesh. Kelsey tasted Leah's fragrant wetness and used her tongue as a chef might use a spatula to spread Leah's juices to all parts of her vulva. Using both thumbs to part Leah's clitoral hood, Kelsey next directed her mouth to Leah's erect clit, which now fully engorged with blood was nearly as big as the tip of Kelsey's pinkie finger.

"That's it, right there," Leah moaned, "oh yes, there, there, oh please don't stop. Lick my clit, please, oh don't stop. Kelsey, please, I'm so close, so close. Oh, Gawwwddd."

Leah's words trailed off to incomprehensible moans and other guttural squeaks as Kelsey continued to flick her clit rapidly but with no set pattern. The effect was driving Leah ever closer to orgasm.

Finally, Leah arched her back as she tried to raise her sex upwards towards Kelsey's face, seeking constant contact with Kelsey's fast-moving tongue. With a loud scream Kelsey thought the Moyers could hear out on the lake, Leah went over the top and came. She grasped Kelsey's head to hold it in place and rode waves of pleasure bouncing her bottom up and down on the bed.

"Dang, girl," Kelsey said as Leah's bouncing came to an end, "I must have looked like a cowgirl in a rodeo riding your pussy like that!"

"Oh my God, Kels," Leah said as she gasped for air, "I've never felt like that before. All the times I've played with myself, I've never came like that. Thank you."

Kelsey made her way back up to kiss Leah's face and Leah saw how Kelsey's face glistened from a coating of Leah's girl come. Leah started laughing hysterically at the sight of her friend's face.

"Kels," Leah laughed, "you should see your face. You could be the posterchild for Krispy Kreme."

Kelsey could only imagine what Leah saw but decided to play along and brought her creamy face to the valley between Leah's still heaving breasts. She then proceeded to wipe her face mixing Leah's juices with the perspiration that had formed across Leah's chest.

"Leah?" Kelsey asked in a softly erotic voice, "can it be my turn now?"

"Oh, baby," Leah said as she began to roll out from under Kelsey, "yes, yes, it's your turn now. Get down here and spread those sexy legs."

Kelsey obliged and quickly got into position for Leah to access her body. Kelsey couldn't help but notice how Leah's larger breasts hung down, tipped by her still erect nipples. Leah's breasts swayed a little as she descended down onto Kelsey.

"Leah?" Kelsey asked again.

"Yeah?"

"Has anyone ever told you that you have beautiful breasts?"

Leah glanced briefly at her erect nipples topping her swaying breasts then looked at the raw lust in Kelsey's eyes as she was staring at those same breasts. Leah halted her downward motion so she could dangle her tits above Kelsey's admiring face. Kelsey was mesmerized by the sight and opened her mouth, inviting Leah to give the smaller girl access her nipples. Kelsey latched her mouth onto Leah's left breast like a newborn baby seeking nourishment. She suckled as if she was draining milk from Leah's soft heaving breasts.

The harder Kelsey nursed, Leah grew overstimulated, so she forcibly pulled her breast from Kelsey's mouth, kissed Kelsey, then made her way to the waiting pussy beneath her. Leah admired Kelsey's lack of pubic hair. While a bald mound looked good on Kelsey's slender body, Leah thought it might not look as good on her own, but she reveled in how attractive Kelsey looked as if she lay there waiting for oral pleasure.

"Kels," Leah said in her smallest voice, "you're so pretty, your body is absolutely amazing."

Leah positioned herself between Kelsey's slender thighs, gently caressing her as she softly blew onto Kelsey's exposed flower. She then nuzzled her face into the crevice lightly kissing and running her tongue along its length. Kelsey's exposed clitoris stood small and proud at the apex as her juices seeped out of her opening, trickling across her perinium and onto the sheets. Leah inhaled Kelsey's earthy scent deeply and lapped across Kelsey's wetness as she went down on her best friend. The aroma Leah inhaled was an intoxicatingly erotic combination of Kelsey's wetness blended with the lavender soap from her shower plus lingering hints of the "Tropical Mango" sunscreen she had applied earlier. To Leah, it was pure aromatic ecstasy, and she felt her own pussy tingle with each breath. Leah couldn't help but reach her hand down to rub herself as she made love to Kelsey.

"Oh yes, Leah," Kelsey encouraged, "that's it. You are so beautiful; your face is so pretty. Please, lick my pussy. Oh baby, don't stop. Just eat me."

Leah thought about teasing Kelsey as she had been teased earlier, but she didn't want to lose any of the present magic, so she placed her mouth directly onto Kelsey's vagina.

Soon, Kelsey became as vocal as Leah had been. Kelsey announced her pending orgasm loudly then screamed as her climax hit. She experienced her own waves of pleasure as Leah forced her face deep onto Kelsey's body. Realizing that she had just lost her virginity, tears of joy welled up in Kelsey's eyes as her orgasm peaked then began to subside.

"Oh, Leah," Kelsey said as tears filled her eyes causing her voice to break, "that was beautiful, you're amazing." Kelsey's voice trailed off as her emotions drained out of her body. She sobbed as she nuzzled into Leah's loving arms.

"Kels," Leah said as she nuzzled her face into Kelsey's neck, "I think you just crymaxed."

"I what?"

"Crymaxed, you shed tears of joy just as you climaxed. Crymaxed. Trust me, it's a thing. If you weren't crunching numbers so much, you could read up on these sorts of things."

Leah ran her hand across Kelsey's erect pink nipples admiring her gently heaving chest as they savored the post-orgasmic serenity amongst the disheveled bed linen. Leah calmly tweaked each nipple a bit before bringing her hand to Kelsey's face to guide it into a kiss.

"Kels?" Leah asked timidly as if afraid to disturb the calm silence of the room.

"Now what?"

"Would you mind skinny dipping again? I think I'd like to try it."

"OK, but let's make sure the Moyers aren't still boating around the lake."

"Why? Wouldn't it be cool to turn them on so much they start doing it in the middle of the lake on their boat?"

"Leah, you're terrible, but you know what?"

"What?"

"I love you; I'm all yours," Kelsey said drawing Leah into another kiss.

As their nubile bodies touched once again, Leah's heart soared.
