Forty-Nine (1/1)

Wendy was stretched out in bed, the sheets drawn away to expose her naked body. The only sounds in the room were the sound of a fan blowing cool air across her damp skin and the distant sound of grunts and groans. Every now and then there was a bang on the wall when Joy’s headboard slammed into the wall.Irene was snuggled into her side, a leg thrown across hers, fingers caressing slow circles across her stomach. They had been lying there in the dark room, a single ray of light piercing through the slit of the drapes casting a blue laser line across the wall. Her mind had been replaying the night and what had happened. She felt like she should be embarrassed but didn’t feel that way. Not one bit.“Do you want to talk about what happened?” Irene asked softly, voice timid. Wendy wondered if her girlfriend had read her mind. She turned her head and was greeted with the dark shape of Irene’s face. She could see her lovers eyes sparkle in the low light. “You’ve been fidgeting instead of falling asleep and I figured something was on your mind,” Irene explained.“I do,” Wendy admitted. Irene’s fingers stopped their playful caress and settled down against her ribs. “I just wanted to know what you were thinking?”There was a long pause and she knew Irene was thinking. She could see the shape of her lips as the woman bit them, eyes falling shut. After a long minute Irene finally said, “I wasn’t thinking, I guess. I was so aroused that I just… did it and then with them watching,” Irene drew in a deep breath and exhaled, “I think I’m an exhibitionist.”“You think?” Wendy said with a chuckle.“Are you mad at me?” Irene’s voice had gone worried. Wendy noted how she sounded like a child afraid of being scolded. She tilted her head and placed a kiss on Irene’s head and brought a hand to cover the hand at her ribs.“I’m not,” Wendy said truthfully. She had felt a rush of emotions when it was over, both shame and guilt. “I didn’t stop you so it’s not like you would have been the only one to hold blame here. The moment I was in you, I stopped caring about Joy and Seulgi being there.”“They certainly seemed okay watching,” Irene added.“True,” Wendy said with a nod. She laced her fingers into Irene’s and she could see her lovers lips curl into a smile. “I’m not surprised about Joy watching but Seulgi was… a surprise.”“Why is that?” Irene asked with genuine curiosity in her voice.“Well,” Wendy started before pausing to think. She scrunched her eyes and tried to find a way to put her feelings into words. “You’re my soulmate as a lover but Seulgi is my soulmate as a friend. If that makes sense?”“It does,” Irene said slowly. “Thought I’m not sure I like you mentioning someone else as a soulmate of yours.” Irene huffed and then dipped her head to give Wendy’s shoulder a soft nip.Wendy laughed and shook her head, “You don’t have to worry. What I’m trying to say, is that I don’t see Seulgi in a sexual manner. At all. Even just saying sexual and Seulgi in the same sentence feels weird in my mouth.”“I would have said the same thing about you but then,” Irene’s voice turned playfully as she nuzzled Wendy’s shoulder with her nose, “I actually had you in my mouth.”“Hah,” Wendy barked. “You’re not trying to go for a fourth round tonight, are you?” She could feel Irene shake her head but the woman began placing soft kisses against her shoulder. This intimacy was so new and she still felt amazed by how fast they had come to this. It had been a whirlwind. A whirlwind she would happily throw herself back into over and over.“I honestly thought you were going to be furious with me when it was all over,” Irene muttered against her skin. The small woman clung tighter to her. Irene was taller than her yet felt so tiny right now. “I may seem confident but our relationship is so fresh I worry about losing you. When I saw Giant Pink looking at you with hearts in her eyes I felt panic.”“How can I reassure you?”“I don’t know. I know I don’t want to be an overly jealous girlfriend who drives you away because I become overbearing. I know I don’t want to pressure you too much.” Irene paused a moment and then said, “like all my talk about marriage. Is it too much?”“Too much? No,” Wendy said in a firm voice. “You’ve always been someone to make a decision and then drive for it. I really wish I was more like you in that regard. You have so much confidence I feel like you can do anything.”“I’m not as confident as you think,” Irene said with a soft laugh. “I have my worries but I don’t show them to you guys.”“If we’re together, you don’t have to hide those things from me anymore,” Wendy said tenderly. She began to slowly turn to face Irene. Their legs twined together and she drew the small woman closer. Their skin was hot together, their curves seeming to be made for each other. “If we’re going to be together forever, we need to learn to rely on each other fully.”“It’s a hard habit to break,” Irene said with a sigh. “But I promise to share my worries with you as much as I can.”“What is worrying you now?”“Dispatch,” Irene said roughly, a touch of anger laced into the undertone of her voice. Wendy could feel the girl stiffen against her. That same worry had been nagging at her and why, when they had gone out to eat earlier, refrained from holding Irene’s hand where others could see. She’d wanted to throw and arm around her girlfriend but couldn’t. Things that were simply acceptable between female friends no longer applied to them and she hated it.“My parents,” Irene said and Wendy blinked.“What about your parents? I thought they liked me?” Wendy asked, her voice filled with confusion.“They don’t know about you biologically,” Irene said with a frown. “They think you’re just another girl and someone who I adore as such. I just don’t know how they are going to react to us being together. I want them to love you as much as I do.”Wendy brought a hand up to gently caress Irene’s hair, fingers slipping into those long, chestnut locks. She could feel Irene curl into her, head falling to rest into her chest. “They will,” Wendy said with a confidence that she didn’t fully feel. “I’m sure they just want you to be happy and when they realize I make you happy, they’ll be happy.”“What if it takes them a while?” Irene asked softly.“Then we wait a while. We both know our relationship isn’t going to be easy for a lot of people to accept,” Wendy said with a touch of sadness in her voice. Irene nodded and then began placing kisses along her collarbone. They weren’t hurried or hungry, but tender like Irene was seeking comfort from it. “Still, as long as Dispatch doesn’t out us, it will be years before this could ever go public.”“We may not even let it go public,” Irene whispered against her, hands slowly running the length of Wendy’s back, massaging slowly, fingers working into her muscles. “I know you want to sing forever and I don’t want to do anything to jeopardize that. If we have to keep ourselves secret forever, I’ll do it.”“Can we, though?” Wendy said with a soft laugh. She began to reciprocate Irene’s slow massage, her own hands gently sweeping across her lovers narrow back. Irene felt so small and fragile, thin arms and tender flesh. “What about when it comes time to have kids?”“Kids,” Irene said breathlessly. She suddenly went stiff beside Wendy. When Wendy rolled her head back to look at Irene, the woman’s features dark and cast with shadows, she wished she could see what was playing across it. Suddenly Irene was pulling away and rolling off the bed, frantic and hurried. “Is everything okay?”“I left the birth control in my purse,” Irene said quickly as she quickly stepped into her pajama bottoms and pulled them on. “I almost forgot and that could have been,” she paused as she grabbed her top from the floor and slipped it over her head, “bad.”Wendy’s lips worked wordlessly for a moment before finally finding her voice, “Yeah. That’s probably not something you want to forget. I want children in the future but now would be inconvenient.”“Inconvenient,” Irene said with a bark of a laugh. The small woman climbed over the bed and Wendy, pausing only to give her a quick kiss on the cheek. “A bit of an understatement. I’ll be back in just a minute,” Irene said quickly and hurried out of the bedroom.As the door closed behind her, she heard a door click down the dark hall. Her head turned towards the sound and found Joy stepping out into the hallway, a long t-shirt clinging to the girl’s damp body. Joy’s hair was tousled and soaked. The girl paused a moment at the sight of Irene and simply said, “Water.”Irene nodded and responded softly, “I left my birth control in my purse.”“Kind of need that,” Joy said with a laugh and started down the hall. Irene was nodding furiously. When Joy drew up close, the girl paused and asked, “I was wondering, what happened earlier. Was that for you or for Seugli and me?”Irene hadn’t expected that question. She bit her lip and then nodded down the hallway towards the living area, indicating for Joy to follow. The taller girl fell in behind her as they walked. Irene could feel those large eyes on her. “I think it was both,” Irene said as they stepped into the large common area.“I kind of assumed you wanted us to watch the way you pulled up your skirt,” Joy said with a lilting voice.Irene blushed deeply and hurried to the entryway to grab her purse from the small table there. She zipped it open and pulled out the small paper bag with the two packages of pills. She had been so hurried to feel Wendy bare inside her, to know what it was like to have her lover cum inside her, she almost forgot.“You didn’t seem to be upset by that,” Irene said with a soft laugh. When she turned, she found Joy leaning her hip against the arm of the couch, the girl’s lips pulled into a smirk. Irene raised a challenging brow and said, “Did you need me to help you find a bigger toy?”Joy threw her head back and laughed. Her eyes were filled with delight as she shook her head, “No, we’ve already been online and ordered one. It’s big. We’re nicknaming it Seungwannie.” Irene blinked a moment and Joy’s smiled deepened. “You know, Seulgi and I talked about it and if you and Wendy wanted to watch us, we’d be okay with that.”Irene’s mouth fell open as she watched Joy slip into the kitchen with a wink.
