Half-Breed Spreadeagle
Category: Writing and Poetry




Sage Sweetwater, unrivaled, bringing you the Upper Tier in lesbian erotica...Sage Sweetwater, the exceptional ARTIST of literary lesbian poetic prose...


...Half-breed spreadeagle in maribou fluff, long flowing china white horsehair. Asking you to make me...make me on a firebrand lesbian Indian trading card...

...Sepia, seal my borders with your saliva, preserve the buffalo and elk toughness, my hide will always be a wild canvas filled with outlaw color and Truth...

...Deepen the color on my ass, tan it to a soft buckskin my ancestors wore - dye me the color of fuck - that color - like a bled raspberry bush in the path, lick me with the keen liberation of a wolf's tongue...

...Tell me on paint - make me - make me on a firebrand lesbian Indian trading card. Pussy in the shape of a tipi - climb in from West 69 you be on top - the triangle not inverted, kiss the rain beaded up - fire in the center pit, smoke hole opened - tell me on paint - make me - make me on a firebrand lesbian Indian trading card...

...Journey into my wildness - take my womanhood - tell me on paint - make me - make me on a firebrand lesbian Indian trading card...

...Make me!...

Pearling the Lavender Sheets
Current mood: thoughtful
Category: Art and Photography


Pearling the Lavender Sheets

Adventurous, the seagulls will light and the fish will bite on any afternoon, but this is not just any afternoon.

"You smell like a whiff of balsam ... my heart goes home ... I feel centered," she tells me.

I don' t want too much time to elapse before eating her some more. She tastes like a juicy apricot splash in my mouth! I suck her pussy a little more and she goes wild, takes off like a seagull on its way to the omphalos, navel of Delphi where Apollo delivered her speech, drunk on the narcotic vapors below her navel, her fingers digging into my long, dark hair with hundreds of turquoise and silver beads threaded in---I thread them in myself running 8mm beads on pipe cleaners twisting my hair around the pipe cleaner and then capping the 17-inch strand of many strands with silver elongated beads.

"Push a strand in!" she gasps, when my strand of beads dangle in her pussy while I am eating her. So I remove my insatiable lips from her hot, wet snatch and start fucking my hair beads into her, my head bobbing in rhythm. There is a time warp here and I feel it.

These beads have been in a different time and place. The ancients have had these beads. They begin to smell like the rich clays and the earthy ochres the ancients used.

She comes and comes .... and comes some more! She is uncontrollably in a multiple orgasmic artifact find! Damn ... I think to myself ... suck her off to make her stop! I can give good face and I will give good face!

"You just bought me," she tells me, breathlessly spent. And she is crying liquid tears from ultimate pleasure and insatiable lesbian passion.

"What do you mean?" I whisper, savoring the cuntal residue on my tongue.

"In the summer of 1699, a woman could be bought for 40 pounds of beads."

* * * *

I think in another time and another place when she and I were pearling the lavender sheets, she was just as sensual. You see, she has a hard time leaving the sheets while I pearl her. The beads never lie.

The Dildo Diaries
Current mood: peaceful

The Dildo Diaries



Dawn comes
frozen
until a good,
erotic
warmth
fills
the
halls
at the great
Swedish
assworks,
I mean
Glassworks.


Having observed some of
the greatest glass blowers
at work, she is driven
to create her own
signature piece.


A modest glass dildo,
 a double-head shaft
with magical, lyrical
quality.


From an old Hindi saying,
"If you are a blower
of glass, fashion the cup
as if it were to be
touched by the lips of your
beloved."


One end of the five-foot-long
pipe for blowing,
she thrusts into a furnace
through an opening called a
glory hole,
and twirls it around
to collect a gob
 of molten glass.


The basic old-ages recipe
for making glass---silica,
sodium carbonate,and
calcium oxide, simply, sand,
soda, and lime.


Her dildo is now glaring
with color and inching
to just the right
Size.

She coaxes it from the
molten glass.


The dildo is glass that
allows visual and physical
union of the
inside and out.


Our lesbian movement
has gained new
status,
taking leave of the craft,
and
ascending into the
erotic world of
galleries and
slick online
catalogs.


We chose her,
rather than a sculptor
or a painter.
It shows here that
there has been a crossover
from crafts to the
fine arts.


It is your piece.
Do some polishing!

Melt
Current mood: hot
Category: Movies, TV, Celebrities

MELT

FINDING water wasn't easy for me at one time in my life. If I could have shot a hole in the cloud, I would have! Don't you just love that metaphor?

She is a rare witness to my private event.

"Melt is a reference tool for me," I tell her.

"Like writer's notes?" she asks.

"Yes, but visual."

I think of melt to make her wonder why.

"There are endless options," I tell her.

Some images stand on their own. Melt works best with a cube of persuasion.

I make a trip to the kitchen for melt.

"I like the color of old denim," she tells me, and drops her old denim to the floor.

With melt, I'm beating her off like kettledrum thunder, throat clearing for the cold tongue lashing about to come!

The feeling never loses its impact. The wet melt is the defining moment to those women who choose to live it, while it tugs at the imagination of those on the borderline.

For a long time, one of my favorite fantasies is to get through melt without squirming, but I can't!

Insider’s View of Sage Sweetwater’s AD Poetry Being Transcribed To Song
Current mood: creative
Category: Movies, TV, Celebrities

*SAGE SWEETWATER LESBIAN SONGWRITER*
INDUCTED INTO
PORTERHOUSE MUSIC
ICELAND SONGWRITER FINNUR BJARKI
REQUESTS SAGE SWEETWATER'S
AD POETRY TO TRANSCRIBE
TO SONG
http://porterhouse.is

FINNUR BJARKI
http://www.nextcat.com/porterhouse


Insider's View of Sage Sweetwater's Poetry Being
Transcribed to Song by Iceland Songwriter/Composer Finnur Bjarki

In a recent conversation with Finnur Bjarki, it is that the Icelanders and the Native American's are very, very similar in the ancient ways of survival.  Finnur asked for some background on some of my poems in order so that he may understand the culture and time frame I write about.  Finnur loves cowboys and Indians, he always played the Indian as a young boy in Iceland when he and his buddies were playing 'cowboys and Indians'.  Most of Finnur's knowledge of the Indians come from American movies and books, which in most part represent the Native Americans honestly, with the exception of a few which are misrepresentations, but we have those misrepresentations in all cultures.

I have studied the Icelanders and their culture not only for the purpose of that it is a very interesting and strong culture which intrigues me, but in so that I may work well with Finnur Bjarki in our songwriting adventure and so that we may well understand each other.  We translate our cultures to each other and we understand each other very well...a half-breed Native American lesbian and a handsome, buffed Icelander do fish in the same waters. Why is it that a firebrand lesbian novelist and a straight Icelander singer/songwriter work so well together you may ask?  Read further. As you remember, in one of my first newsletters, I said my goal was to let my audience fish in untroubled literary waters.  Fish bonds Finnur Bjarki and Sage Sweetwater.  Both of our ancestors survived mostly on fish.  Also both cultures were very primitive, building their shelters with earth, rock, timber, and hides. Finnur's grandfather was born on a clay floor in the 1900s. When Finnur said to me he would like my straight-forward opinion that if he said something that was not true to Native American history, then to correct him because he is open to learning at all times. I had before told him "just know that I am an intelligent, talented woman and please don't be offended or embarrassed by my words, I am not sure how censored or how modest you are in your country."  Our working relationship is one of cooperation.  I gave Finnur permission to alter the language in the songs. We think about marketability and scoring these poems into songs for movies. At this point, he said, "But I will go by the feel of melodies I come up with, how much I change if any!"  Finnur has no problem with my sexuality.  He admits Sage Sweetwater "is a very open and free way of storytelling and probably not for everyone.  You have amazing way of expressing yourself and I do admire the straight forward style.
And I..m sure you give some people a culture shock sometimes:)".  I supplied Finnur with this link on the relations between Icelanders and Native Americans in history.

http://servefir.ruv.is/vesturfarar/e/SamIndianar.html

After a few rounds of reading my Authors Den poems, Finnur told me he got the feeling he needed a storyteller.  He knows a wonderful actor who has a deep and warm, but rough voice and he hears a woman's voice.  Finnur tells that percussions will play a big part in transcribing my poems into song, an adaptation arrangement, designed for the voice.  Thank you, Finnur Bjarki for giving me this opportunity!

Sage Sweetwater: Her Love For Pulp Fiction Dime-Store Novels
Current mood: accomplished
Category: Movies, TV, Celebrities

Sage Sweetwater's love for pulp fiction dime store novels has re-invented the way her audience thinks.  Sage Sweetwater re-kindles the spirit of the Old West in her lesbian poetry, blending elements into contemporary settings,  Her audience passes through a peeled-pine-log entrance to her pulp fiction gallery, a collection of lesbian erotica, giving lesbian sexuality the natural feel of nature and wood, whiskey-bent, conjuring up brothels, tipis, stagecoaches, and spiritual elements of Earth and Sky, invigorating scenes which explore women's history.  Sage Sweetwater quills a new generation of pilgrim lesbians!  She is not worried about her audience finding flaws - her commitment to literary excellence and accuracy defended - she has a cactus lamp sitting on her desk laced to a lampshade with hand-colored Old West photographs printed on plastic-coated paper and laced to the lampshade.  The quality of her work resides on Authors Den where it is showcased, which has withstood screening, critique, rejection, scandal, and controversy.  Success is the best motivation. You have to write many poems and what you get in return are the people - a faithful readership who knows Sage Sweetwater lays out a good storyline and opening hook - paragraphs that maintain reader interest.  Sage Sweetwater thanks the pulp heroes who created the pulp genre.  Thank you dear readers.  I love you all...


Pulp (Destry) Rides Again!

Her foot in many cultures
she finds beauty in few
others see, in cavalry
pack trains of the '30s
snaking down the Texas
rimrocks,

hot sweaty wax camps
where Mexicans boiled
the desert candelilla plant
over open fires to extract
the wax,

the dime store of the '30s,
home of the pulp cowboy.

Riding hell-bent-for-leather,
ten cents apiece, 
Pete Rice
Western, The Rio Kid Western,
Captives of the Frontier.


The lead characters defined
as heros,
Ranch Romances,
By Myrtle Juliette Corey
and Austin Corcoran


Confronting the adversities
of the western American
frontier, "
the flash of
de Martiga's gun, his
aim was off-hand, as he
had been shooting with a
Navy Colt."


She enters the dime store
in her mind, a flamboyant
pulpster herself, stands
stacked, in ten-row-tall
metal racks, western
pulps.

Phantasmagoric pulp
apparitions beckon
her
"Come be like
us, Outlaws, inspiration,
tapping telegraph keys
to communicate Hollywood
cast, horse opera blended
with soap opera, the final
chapter in the frontier saga,
join us won't you Sweetwater."

Stagecoach

traveling with copyright 
as her companion, she
straightened her burgandy
velvet sleeve garters,
adjusted the tightness
of the snaps on her
Cordovan star-studded
leather wrist cuffs, and
secured the Western
firebrand manuscripts
that would make her famous,
inside her Old West tooled
pommel satchel, anticipating
the stagecoach's stop,

noon stage exact on
time, the horses ready
for some sweet molasses
oats and water, the driver
brought the stage to a halt,
dismounted and opened
the stagecoach door, she
climbed out, her boots
hitting the dirt of the town
that had no name,
she smoothed the
wrinkles in her wheat
frontier trousers, the
townsfolk caught sight
of her fame packed
voluptuously in her
lavender Western
fringed blouse filled
out like the lead
type in compartments
of a tray,

she walked across
the dusty street to
the printer, the woman
proprietor flaunting
the history of women's
persecuted quill about
to scorch this town that
had no name, kissed
her full on the lips in
plain view of the
townspeople, the
firebrand handed over
her pommel satchel,
the manuscripts hot
and sexy, "are these
what you have been
waiting for?"

of what would soon
be this century's
distribution of the
lesbian dialect, the
printing press met a
standard spelling system,
her press carried here
in 1856 by way of the
Oregon Trail to the town
that had no name, in her
ink-smudged apron, the
woman's nimble fingers
plucked the lead type
from compartments
in a tray, reading the
firebrand's stories on
the white paper and
set the blazing type
spelled backwards as
the words had to be a
mirror image of the
firebrand's uncensored
words printed on paper,
passed an ink roller over
the type, and with her
foot power turning the
flywheel leaving her hand
free to feed paper to
the press, the treadle
kept the rollers
in motion,

binding and stitching in
the daylight hours, back
of the shop fucking in the
evening, with ten books
between them stamped
with proper copyright,
two women writing in
Old West lesbian context,
acknowledge their lesbianism
and promote their press in a
dramatic increase of curious
sales with the acceptance
given to romantic friendships
between women who are telling
their stories and printing their
books,

and so the town
that had no name
was named Sweetwater,
and the stagecoach driver
who thought he got away 
with the firebrand's
manuscripts stole the
identical impostor Old West
tooled pommel satchel with
blank sheets of paper as
thick as disguised manuscripts,
the top sheet written on, a 
planted sizzling page turner 
with the firebrand's byline
about Calamity Jane who
admitted she was a lesbian
and that her affair with Wild
Bill Hickok was a cover up
because he was also gay...

Buffalo Gals

The lovestruck merchant
sent over a cameo brooch
to the piano player across
the street.

The piano player pinned on
the cameo, with her wealthy
bosom heaving from its
cleavage, walked to the
saloon's plate-glass
window and winked discreetly.
This wasn't the century for
lesbianism.

The noon stage delivered
Laura Ingalls Wilder, author
of "Little House" books.
She stopped in the General
Mercantile for a box of quills,
unruled tablets, and two bottles
of writing ink, for she had a
prairie novel set in her mind
where wagonwheels were the
vehicle that turned the page
and oil lanterns lit the way.

Tonight, the piano player signaled
the lovestruck merchant by playing
Buffalo Gals...Won't You Come Out
Tonight
.  The lovestruck merchant
had long closed the General Mercantile
and spent the rest of the evening
listening to the goings on at the saloon
from her room above the Mercantile.
Never mind what she could see out
the other window---a bunch of saloon
whores skinny-dipping in the moonlight
in the wild waters of the horse tank at
the livery stable.

Theirs was a cliffhanger serial affair,
picked up where it left off.  The piano
player's wicked sensuality drove the
lovestruck merchant wild.  At thirty,
the piano player was an exceptionally
built woman with a voluptuous bosom
and a small waist, sparkling green-blue
eyes and long chestnut hair she wore in
a lesbian knot at the nape of her neck.
She bathed herself in Milk of Roses and
powdered herself with La Dore's Powder
de Riz made from fine rice flour, both
toiletries from France, available through
Sears Roebuck and Company mail order.

The piano player turned the wick down to
douse it, then quickly rolled the glowing
wick back up for a signal to the lovestruck
merchant that the town was clear. 
Buffalo
Gals...Won't You Come Out Tonight

Animas River Woman of Durango

I awoke to a
cold ground blizzard,
the chill factor well below
zero, the traders had made
trips to the woodpile, the
warmth of the crackling fire
thawed my eyelids, I saw her
on traders row in the San Juan,

kokanee salmon lying
on her table, Jim Bridger,
the first white man to set
eyes on her, stopped his
wagon filled with gunpowder,
balls, flints, bear traps, and
whiskey, asks Kit Carson,
who she is.  Bridger takes off
his beaver hat, turns it up,
throws inside it a bottle of
whiskey and sets it on her
table, "Raise a little Cain,
Animas River Woman of
Durango," he said, picked
up one of her kokanee salmon
and walked off to his wagon
for a cast-iron skillet and
cooked his fish trade over
the crackling fire,

The buckskin tipis
weaved through the
vertical trunks of the
tightly-packed dog-hair
lodgepole, the sounds
are intimate, the grunts
and snorts of the elk
where rut has come, the
ground near the Animas
river muddy with elk prints,
the big bull tearing up the
sod with his antlers, I
make my way to Animas
River Woman of Durango
before the men get to her
in rut season,

I set my bubbling
cauldron of homemade
soup and a special flint
on her table, and picked
up one of her kokanee
salmon, "Raise a little
Cain, Animas River Woman
of Durango," I say, Jim Bridger
I laid eyes on her first, you
see, it's all how you do your
trading and your priorities,
the errant tomahawk sliced
my trade fish I am holding,
Kit Carson's throw way off
course in the men's competition
trader's row games, black
powder shooting, bow and
arrow, trap setting, skillet
throwing, and the like,

"bring the whiskey, 
Animas River Woman
of Durango," I motion
her to my tipi not about
to find myself empty
handed after months
of isolation and hardship,
I demonstrate my primitive
fire starting technique, our
rendezvous hot, the flint
scintillating our naked flesh,

Mesa Verde cliffdwellers
arrive with their pots, a
very welcome sight on
trader's row, Jim Bridger
offers Animas River
Woman of Durango and I,
Sweetwater, a hand in
taking down our tipis and
took us off in his wagon
journeying on to the
Four Corners through Ignacio,
Cortez, and Mesa Verde where
we met Stone Creek Woman
who pointed up to a bird in the
sky and said, "It is up to the
pinon jay where to fly next,
but there is no reason not to
observe its flight."

Midnight in Montgomery

you unfasten your black
and brass suspenders and
take off your frontier canvas
pants, sit at your desk, staring
at your cobalt square glass
inkwells, four of your favorite
colors, blue, verdi, bordeaux,
tobacco sienna, dip your goose
quill, your pocket watch from
another time timing the
celebration of lighting the candle
and melting the red-wick mailable
wax, heart design wax seal, I sit
in the corner on the parlor rocker,

you pull your silver lonestar
slide down on your lavender
silk jacquard neck scarf,
unbutton your white cotton
twill bib blouse, I bite the
filagree buttons, you pay
me to kiss your lawless 
breasts, unpin your Brothel
Inspector badge and put
it in your ivory box with the
painted acanthus leaf,
neverminding the government
who employs you as brothel
inspector, your authentic
job title in this Old West town,
the brothel where I work,

you lay me on your
brass-trimmed iron bed
and leave me to pleasure
myself while you write your
resignation letter, and when
you are ready to seal it, you
put flame to the wick and walk
to me, tilting the candle,
dripping with excitement, the
hot spillage on my breasts, you
stamp me with your heart design
wax seal, and then you walk back
to your desk and light the
resignation letter on fire, toss it
into the waste basket, Midnight
in Montgomery, you step outside
and toss the flaming waste basket
into the side of the brothel, knowing
they would not accept your
resignation, a crime of passion...

Introducing Miss Jackie Coupe (Lesbian Author of THE GIRLS CLUB)
Current mood: mellow
Category: Writing and Poetry




You asked - it's here!
The first couple of chapters of my new book for lady loves!
It isn't fully edited, but you'll get a very good idea of whats going down...er, YEAH!

Chapter 1



Everyone wants to be part of something special growing up. A club. Any kind of club. We all wanted to run one, or be in the best one. For those of us that were lonely enough any would do. We all had our own ideas about what club codes should be, what the tasks of the club members were. The rules on other words. Some rules were solid and could not be broken. Some rules were there to keep others out, people who you didn't really want in your club, or people who previously hadn't let you be in there's.

As you grow up you learn about different kinds of clubs. Some of them easy to join and some of them not so easy. The ones you couldn't join would always haunt you, your inferiority being reinforced again and again. There were 'gangs' who were done up hoodlums clubs, the bridge ladies who were really just 'card playing' clubs. The guys who had thirteen kinds of handshake depending on the date in the fiscal year. 'Fishing' clubs. 'Skiing' clubs. 'Shitzu owners' clubs. Anonymous clubs and public clubs and sometimes 'exclusive' clubs that were soooo secret many of the members never really understood what they are part of.

At the slightest smell of an exclusive club some people turn into social monsters and the back biting begins. At other times you can run right across the face of an exclusive club and have no idea of its existence or that you were momentarily touched by its brilliance.

Myself? I'm a well heeled young lady with morals, the ability to work hard, the need for a sense of achievement and a good grasp on what is really going on behind the painted masks of people. At times this has served me well and I have avoided some very awkward situations. There were also times though I'm sad to say when this insight has led to myself being seen as an outsider, a distant creature with no more feeling than a common mallusk.

Ouch.

I know.

I've been in clubs. Lots. I ran a few of them too. Around about the age of 9 there was this really popular movie, lots of big rigs in it, the name escapes me but they had this tune about having a big convoy. We were the 'truckers'. Four of us on bicycles. What a bunch of idiots we must have looked! Front to back of the convoy, there was me, then my little sis, my friend and then her little sis. We'd go round and round the blocks singing we 'had us a truckin' convoy'. Drove the people on the street nuts. Some would stand on their doorsteps shaking their heads as we roared past.

But we felt good! We felt like people were noticing us, respecting our group behaviour and appraising us with a cautious stare, we were organised children. A feared entity indeed.

Good times. Easy times.

A small trip further down the line of years from there, about two perhaps, the four of us entered a different phase. We were 'Ghostbusters'. Yep. Near the street were we lived there were a few run down and busted out houses, you know the type, rotted floorboards and open rooftops, debris and the smell of plywood that has taken in water many times. Our parents despaired of letting us out because of the sodden mess we came back in. It was heaven! We would pair up. Me and my mate Jess, we evolved easily from the 'convoy', being the older of the girls we always went upstairs first, we were supposed to be after all the bravest of the group. The two younger girls, my sister Caitlin, (Kat), and Jess's sister Melanie would remain on the ground level until we had declared the area 'all clear'.

Sometimes this was a long process. There would be about three rooms to check. There would be stolen kisses before the 'kids' came up. Jess and me were close. We considered ourselves as 'sisters'. Not to get the meaning all screwed up, but because we knew how much we loved our sibs, we considered this love to be on a par. See?

OK then.

Jess was very dear to me, I would have invented a million clubs to keep her by my side.

Anyway, it's safe to say that at 11/12 there were some very interesting times and some obvious differences highlighted between what I wanted and what most other people seemed to want of me.

But we'll get to that.

After the 'Ghostbusters', which was just our fancy name for dragging our sibs to places to scare the shit out of them whilst keeping our secret trysts, we then had an albeit short-lived 'My Little Pony' club. This was Kat's idea and since she had lived through the many ordeals of haunted houses and not grassed me to my parents for taking her places that we shouldn't ought to have been, she got her way for once. It was about three months all told from club beginning to merciful end. About the funniest club we'd ever had and certainly the weirdest. The major problem was not being able to find time to be alone, me and Jess. The younger girls constantly needed some 'pony' chore carried out. Collecting mown grass was the favourite. Believe it or not that was the club that got us in the most trouble. There would be grass stains head to foot, she liked to 'canter' did Kat, there would be mud in the most intimate of places. Her sense of balance never too clever, her version of the pony did a lot of butt sliding.

After the pony club was booted out by order of the boss, (me), we got back on track, the next club was invariably the last, not that we knew that then. The last club was the 'camping club'. Me and Kat begged and pleaded and whined and moaned and sulked. We wanted a tent. There were some other big kids being allowed to sleep out and we were ready for that kind of trust. Mum and dad fended us off quite admirably for almost two months. When the summer holidays came they must have just gotten tired of our whinging and seeing as there was a field within view of the house they must have thought 'what the hell could it hurt?'.

By then me and Jess were smokers. That was a club we had between ourselves. There was no way the younger kids were joining this one. We both liked our carotid arteries intact and processing blood.

It was a very nice tent indeed. It would have comfortably fitted four grown-ups. We were small and the place to us was a canvas palace. The two younger girls had their 'my little ponies', still persistent in the fact that they were the coolest things on God's earth. Jess and me didn't care, we made sure we pitched the tent so the entrance faced the opposite direction of the house, this meant we could sit on the extended ground sheet, pull the drape across and be on our own. To their credit the two smaller sisters never made mention of anything untoward, if they ever saw or heard anything they never mentioned it.

Before your mind descends to gutter level, we didn't have sex. We didn't live in enlightened times and our knowledge on the subject was limited. It wasn't talked about quite so easily as it is now. Hell. We knew what we felt but didn't know the full extent of how to show what we felt. Except for when we were alone we never behaved in such a way. As soon as there was no one else in the vicinity some kind of animal took over, I still think it was the strongest thing I ever felt, time hasn't eroded the feeling of my heartbeat as Jess pinned me to the groundsheet and promised me that we were sisters for life. I won't ever forget the night she grabbed my left breast and told me that one day we would be together all the time and we wouldn't have to hide anymore. She always was much more grown up than me.

Still.

What you learn as you grow up eh? Hind sight is 20/20.

Her mum and dad divorced, then her mum started hitting the bottle a little too hard. He left and took Jess and Melanie with him. To this day I don't know where they went. To this day my heart still breaks a little when I remember knocking on her door, my heart always running a little faster than normal as it always did before the days business was through. Her mum had answered the door in an unwashed filthy night gown, she had told me that she loved her kids and her husband had no right to take them away like that. My throat had tightened and my chest felt as if someone was pressing a hand against my ribcage, pressing so hard that it was flattening my heart, it was hard to breathe.

I was sick. Completely and utterly sick, confused and lonely. I didn't think I could ever get to like someone in such a way again. There wouldn't be anyone else who wanted to be as close as that. My young mind worried and gnawed like a mutt with a bone, for months I was in dire straits, waiting for some call or sign that she meant to keep her promises to me. That we were sisters forever.

It was my first heart break. But as you can probably tell I'm still here so I obviously decided not to throw myself under a train. Although there were times…well. I had to close the door on it. Life, although I found it hard at first, went on.

There were no more clubs after that. Poor Kat had also lost her best mate but Kat was nothing if not fiesty, she made new friends. I didn't. I didn't have the emotional energy required, besides, a lot of the time my mind was elsewhere. Where was Jess? What was she doing at that moment? Did she miss me half as much as I missed her?

I never heard any other girls talk of their friends in such a close way. No one ever mentioned 'kissing' their friends and about sisterhood beyond flesh and blood. What we had was deemed wrong, otherwise people would talk about it all the time, because it was magic and they wouldn't have been able to stop themselves. What was the chance of me ever finding someone like her again, someone who didn't care if it was deemed wrong?

That's what I like to refer to now as my 'crush' phase. I went from being some kind of social outsider to being an habitual victim of unrequited love. My courage had gone right along with Jess. All through school, juniors and high school there was very little love and affection. It was always lads. And I fucking hated lads. Stinky, arrogant, bullying lads. I couldn't stand the fact that it didn't matter how many times you told someone to 'fuck right the fuck off' - they saw this as encouragement. So whilst my 'unrequited' phase was at its peak I seemed to attract the most male attention. I hated that even more. The fact that they thought I was playing hard to get or being down right coy. The ability to swear like a sailor aroused one particular chap further. I couldn't understand why in those dim days when girls were shy and retiring, (supposedly), he wanted me and my foul mouth. The first of many men, hot on the trail, a case to crack.

He followed me around my paper route for months. That's when I learned my next big lesson. Boys were stupid. And I could have them do what I wanted. I had one lad help me with my papers. I had another lad who always scrounged me a cigarette for my dinner break. I had another lad who carried my bag round to each of my classes for me and eventually I had yet another lad who paid for the pool table when we wagged school.

I figured this would be my revenge on the world at large for not being allowed the run of my heart. I enjoyed their friendship, the sad fact remained that always, always, they would go for broke and ruin everything by making an idiot pass. I became a little embittered by this, but I figured if they thought there was a case to be cracked and a pot of gold at the end of my rainbow just let them get the fuck on with it. I didn't have Jess but I had many knights in shining armour.

I never slept with any of them and you know something else, one of those four young men proposed to me one day years after we had finished school. You could have knocked me over with a feather! He'd been the one I behaved most disgracefully towards.

Of course there were other proposals but I had already learnt by that point that a man will say anything, anything, to get what he wants.

And that's how for a while I had clubs and how I fell out with clubs. The reasons are self-explanatory enough, Jess was my reason for being in a club, any kind of club. And she was long gone.

I don't hate men anymore. I just don't like them very much and last time I checked that wasn't a crime.

Anyway.

I had nothing to stay in England for. I answered a 'wanted' ad in an online recruitment magazine to be a 'PA' in a Los Angeles law firm.

My journey of self discovery had begun.

 




Chapter 2

She left England in search of high adventure. Working in an office was much the same wherever in the world you happened to be. She didn't feel she could ever be herself whilst still on the same continent as her lost playmate.

Upon moving to America and the dazzling city of Los Angeles, she set about making a home for herself. The job was easy enough. A law firm had already accepted her application and were expecting her. A British PA was what the boss had desired. She thought the Brit lingo and accent to be very smart and since it was what most people in NY were doing she wanted in. PA bling.

Karen didn't care. It meant she could turn her life around and the fresh start might be the punch in the guts she needed to get on with being whatever she wanted to be. Since she had never made any such attempts at home to display her true sexuality.

If that meant meeting and greeting young eligible girls…well, she couldn't use the excuse anymore that her family might find out, might disown her, might be disgusted with her.

Besides.

Just whose fucking life was it anyway?

The flight had been one long daydream about just how things were going to be different, and not just by a little. By the time the plane landed she had pretty much worn herself out with the endless possibilities she now felt open to her. It was a nice feeling hope, especially when it wasn't anything you expected to feel again.

At the airport a rep of the firm Tarkington's, a seemingly timid young girl called Rochelle, had come to collect her and her bags.

"Hiya"

"Hi" Rochelle took the outstretched hand and gave it a one time shake.

Rochelle had all the hallmarks of an office gofer, speak when spoken to, get on and do it, now, now, now!

She hardly said three words without prompt from Karen all the way into the city. Karen just guessed she was quiet generally. Besides, there was all this stuff to look at. Buildings that she had to crane her neck to see to the top of, contrails left behind by planes that looked like they were traced in gold as the sun westered.

"Pretty here"

"You bet" Rochelle agreed. Karen saw her hand had a tattoo on it, looked like a roman numeral at the base of her thumb.

"That's different"

"This? Yeah."

And that was it. Whatever conversational gambit she threw out got returned with words of one syllable or less.

They pulled up outside of what looked like flats to Karen's British eye. They were 'apartments' Rochelle said. Rochelle explained how all the buildings were hardly ever more than three storeys high in LA, she mentioned quakes too.

She took her up to what would be her 'apartment' and after depositing the cases Karen ventured to ask again about the tattoo, if she was going to see a lot of them she wanted to know what they meant. Everything was going to be new here but she didn't have to behave like a complete tourist.

"It's my number"

"Like your phone number?"

"No," she plonked down the smallest case, "My number"

Rochelle gave her a look then that said that was the end of it.

"Well. Thanks Rochelle" she stuck her hand out and Rochelle took it. She gave it a double pump, up down, up down.

"Settle in and get some sleep. I'll be back in the morning to collect you and take you to Tarkington's"

"See you then, thanks for the ride in"

"You bet!" Rochelle smiled. There was a flicker of something in that smile that harkened Karen back to days when love was just across the road and 'judgement' was a word she didn't even know how to spell yet.

Before she could ask anything else of the office gofer she was gone. Karen was almost entirely sure Rochelle was gay. Just like that. She had heard it called 'Gaydar' once, you just know when you come into contact with someone what their sexual preferences are and respond in kind.

And what was that my number, shit? 'Cattle' got numbered. It had felt weird to the max since she got here but she would take it in her stride. It had been a long plane ride and some sleep would hopefully make things seem more sensible tomorrow. She would endeavour to find out what Rochelle really was though, it might help her in future to know what 'American Gay Girls' looked like.

The apartment was a little sparse, the views from the windows reminded her she wasn't in Kansas anymore. Her heart fluttered.

"Interesting day indeed" she said to herself as she stood on front of the glass wall that served as her window to the outside world. The view was nothing less than stunning and she might have ended up spending her whole first night just stood there, feeling the pulse and blood of this unknown city to her. Aside from the fact she was knackered. She had travelled halfway around the world to find acceptance and a new start, as an omen her first contact here seemed to be someone she could identify with.

She had a kind face too.


Not wanting to obsess she showered up and plopped into bed. The morning would come round all too quickly as it were.

A shrilling alarm clock seemed to rouse her the second after her head hit the pillow and she felt like another couple of hours would have made her a nicer person.

First day. Get yer arse out of yer pit.


It didn't take long, clothes, comb hair, she'd have to get a brew at the office, she needed provisions. Once she was as ready as she could be she went back down to the kerb.

As promised Rochelle came by to pick her up. Karen had dressed to impress. Grey power suit, black shoes. She felt smart. Thinking about Rochelle last night had given her a million questions to ask but she figured there was going to be plenty of time, no sense in rushing into anything. Besides, people were just generally different here. She needed to take her time and learn the way things worked, there had already been too many 'jumped guns' and every time had wrought her heart.

The building that Tarkington's was in was nothing short of monolithic. They entered the lobby with elegantly ornate marble tiles on the floor. Karen stopped to look down and almost got hit by a guy coming through the doors.

Way to go 'tourist'.


A desk of black marble with a couple of security guys behind it was near the back of the entrance hall. She thought about altitude sickness on the way up in the elevator and Rochelle smiled at her.

"S'okay. You'll get used to it"

"Yeah" but she couldn't hide her nervousness.

Boing!


The doors opened and the reception desk for Tarkington's itself was situated directly across from them.

"This is where you sign in each day when you come in. Health and safety, fire regs, here…" she spun the book round to her and she took the pen. The receptionist smiled at her then held her hand out.

"Carolyn" her mouth revealed approximately three rows of pristine white teeth. Karen was dazzled.

"Karen, Hiya" there was a numeral on the receptionists hand. Karen felt an eyebrow go up and felt herself being obvious.

It's some American fad that's all. You'll probably see a kajillion of them.


Carolyn meanwhile was being very obvious in a different way. Karen felt lost. Was everyone here going to be so sexually extrovert? She didn't know if her country mouse heart could take the strain.

"Welcome to Tarkingtons" the receptionist shot her a glance of pure carnality then went back to her paperwork. Karen felt glad when the after image emblazoned on her retinas receded. Those were some teeth alright!

As they turned the corner she asked Rochelle where the rest room was.

"Through here" and she deposited her through a door at the end of the corridor.

"Fuck me!" she gasped as she leaned against the door. She ducked to see if any of the stalls were occupied. None seemed to be. In the mirror she could see her face was brick red. She took the chance to pee and washed her face off with cold water. God damn it was hot round these parts!

"Well?" Carolyn was intrigued to say the least. The British lass was skittish, but she didn't doubt for a second that she'd get on The Chain.

"Well what Care? If she is you know the rules." Rochelle was perched on the end of her desk, left leg swinging idly.

"Bastards" she growled. Carolyn loved working here. Big business and the best pussy she'd ever had. But sometimes red tape was a bitch.

Back in the restroom Karen was getting herself together slowly but surely. After she felt a little more businesslike she went back out. Rochelle was back outside the door and smiling at her. Karen's eyebrow hoisted again, her Goddamn eyebrow! She might as well be wearing a sign proclaiming that all she saw so far was weirdness supreme.

"Come on, I'll walk you round the place so you get a feel for the layout" Rochelle giggled. How odd? What was so funny? She reached down to check she'd zipped her pants as they rounded the corner.

"This is where the junior apprentices work, don't worry about names, you'll learn them quick enough when you get to know the bunch of bitches"

?


Her face must have gone red again, Rochelle thought this was highly amusing, "Oh its alright, they're nice bitches."

"Oh" was about all she could manage. She wondered if she could staple her eyebrow down so it didn't keep giving her away.

"And round here you have the paperwork, files, legal books. Oh, that's my desk there and that young lady hiding under it, yeah! I saw you whore, she's Minnie" There was a bump and a head full of brown wavy hair come up, "Ouf! Ah, Rosh, hi"

"Don't get up, looks like your busy" If Karen had to swear on a stack of bibles she would still say that what looked like a pair of legs was sticking out behind the chair. Unless 'Minnie' was double jointed at the waist, they weren't her legs.

I will not raise my eyebrow, will not raise my eyebrow, will not, will not, WILL NOT!


Rochelle laughed at her, "Its OK, no one ever comes round this part. Come on" and as they passed Minnie and whoever was under the desk she could have further sworn to hearing a pleasured groan.

"This corridor has four offices along it, they're the executives veeps and partners"

Her arm was being tugged by the cuff and she got the distinct idea now that Rochelle was having a jolly old time with the country mouse.

"This is the canteen, hi girls!" About a million faces all spun round to watch them pass. There was licking of lips. A penny dropped in Karen's mind.

I haven't seen one man! Not one, how the fuck do they manage that?


Rochelle double timed her to the last corridor. She dropped her voice to a whisper and spoke to her in reverent tones.

"OK. This is a corridor we don't come into much. That room at the end", she turned and pointed, "She's the boss, Sarah Steiger. That room to your left is conference room one, that one,", she pointed the opposite way, "conference room two. That next to it is Charlotte Toulouse's office, one of the partners. Come on"

They left the corridor and Karen wanted to bite Rochelle, she still had her by the cuff like a prize poodle.

"Ah-hem" Karen jingled her arm.

"Opsie, sorry honey" she dropped her cuff, "You've had the five cent tour. How 'bout a coffee?"

Back in there, where that sea of faces all want to eat me up? Wickedy.


"Do you have any tea?"

"Tea?"

"Yeah. Opposite to coffee, comes with milk" she smiled.

Rochelle stopped laughing and ducked into the cook area. She came back with something that looked like grey paint and smelled a little like aniseed. They sat down.

Karen was getting good at this. She knew when she tasted this she was going to have an eyebrow moment so she would use a question to divert Rochelle's attention.

"How long have you been with the company" Sip. Hoist. Wince.

"Oh, like forever! About two years now. It's the best!"

She hadn't seen anyone that was physically unattractive in any way. She guessed they must have broke all kinds of rules to make this a girls only gig. Better to ask though.

"I haven't seen any men"

She heard the creaking of tendons and a few chair scrapes whilst women at neighbouring tables strained to listen without giving the appearance of listening.

"We don't employ men. Is that a problem?"

Creeeeeeeeak!


Two dozen sets of eyes were watching her lips, waiting for what they wanted to hear.

"Nah"

"Nah?"

"It's slang for 'no' where I come from"

An audible sigh from the masses? Felt and heard. Karen had agreed to live her life more freely, she hadn't expected to end up knee deep in lesbians.

You don't know that for sure yet do you?


It was a very strong feeling though all the same.

She chatted with Rochelle for a while about little things. Glancing at times to the hands of those around her as they carried trays and mugs. Many had those roman numerals on them, always in the same place too. A cult? She shivered at the thought.

She drank the shitty brew. It maybe wouldn't be a bad idea to find out where they sold her brand of tea and bring some in with her. A good cup of tea would go a long way to siphoning out some of the strange input she'd had so far.

She heard a mobile phone chirrup. Rochelle brought her mobile to her ear, "Yes, yes. She'll be right there" she got up.

"Ok, she'll see you now" Rochelle was back on her cuff again hauling her along. Necks creaked and an eyebrow was hoisted in the fray, back down the executive corridor they went.

"Alright" they stopped outside Sarah Steiger's office, Rochelle straightened Karen's jacket and dusted off her shoulders in a grandiose manner. What was she so excited for? She tapped the door.

"Come!"

"Knock 'em dead" and she winked at her. Rochelle disappeared back down the corridor and Karen cleared her throat. Shaking her cuffs she opened the double doors.

Karen swallowed a ball of spit roughly the size of a baby kitten.

"Aww, Karen. Shut the door will you?"

What she saw next stunned her.

Oh my dear Jesus! What a fucking fox!


She was in danger of making her own eyebrow lift, never before in her life had such a thought crossed her mind but this woman was stunning.

She stood up and came around her large oaken desk and extended an arm that looked strong. Karen gulped. Something else she had never been prone to do before, then put her hand into her bosses.

Whatever it is I hope she's part of it.


Two and two were becoming four 'faster than rabbits could hop', as her dear old gram might have said.

Her face was ethereal. Perfect. Not a strand of golden hair out of place, her lips were in a tasteful muted shade of burgundy.

She raised her other arm and Karen took the seat that was offered.

"So you've seen our offices. Like what you see?" she sat back in her chair and eyed Karen curiously.

To combat her eyebrow raise she lifted both, "Yeah, very nice. Tidy"

"And the staff. Everyone been nice to you?"

What kind of a boss gives a shit if the staff are happy campers?

Ones that what to get into your knickers!
Her mind called back. It wasn't an image she needed at this time.

"Yeah. It's been really nice" Couldn't you think if anything else to say?

Miss Steiger leaned back in her chair and steepled her fingers under her chin.

"Notice anything odd?"

This is where you tell her you suspect you're working at a pussy farm carefully disguised as a law firm.


In deference of her eyebrow, (it seemed to be doing its own thing for fun), she leaned forward. There was heat in her face, for the second time that morning she was getting embarrassed, but there was something else wasn't there? The small suspicion that all the years of feeling like an outcast, of denying her true emotions, were at an end.

"They're all girls" a smile burst forth then. Sarah Steiger, President of Tarkington's, owner of a million dollar estate, three cars, and a wardrobe that would make Liz Taylor jealous, laughed.

"Fuckin 'A'"

Karen was laughing too then. All the whispering in the corridor had seemed daft now. The boss was nothing like the ball breaker that she been expecting. But then again, balls were in short supply round here.

"Ok sweetie. Just a few ground rules and you can stay. Firstly, did you bring your passport so I can get the work permit sorted out?" She took a cigar out of a wooden case and lit it, then offered the box to Karen, they looked soooo good, "I'll pass thanks, I gave up smoking last year" She took her passport out of her jacket pocket and handed it over. Whatever this place was she would be stuck here, a momentary shiver ran down her spine.

"Good job, these'll kill ya...Anyway" the boss puffed huge clouds of fragrant smoke above her head. Karen deeply suspected she was going to come in her pants. Never before had she seen such a beauty, rugged, well groomed. And just so damned masculine. It was unnerving.

"We have a system round here, there are rules." She put her feet up on the desk, leaving her smart short stilettos on the floor.

Karen took her jacket off. Sarah smiled vulpinely.

"The first rule is of course that there is 'The Chain'. The Chain must be followed. You will find the list in a non-downloadable file on your PC at your desk. Along with a copy of the rules. We work hard here. Harder than any swinging dicks let me tell you, we ooze charm and sex, we get contracts, we make millions!" perfect smoke rings flew over Karen's head.

"We ask for loyalty. No talking out of school. I pay a pretty penny to keep this a closed shop. The Chain leads out of here and there are a few ladies of leisure who enjoy what we do so they turn a blind eye. If you reach a point where you wish to stop you can claim your tattoo. I don't care for them but some of the girls feel its very tribal, sexy even. They're semi-permanent, everything round here moves so fast! If you want in…?"

??? Answer her, tell her something, anything, NOW!


"I want in" she murmured.

Sarah took her feet down and leaned across her desk, the cigar bobbing and weaving and she waved her arms, a 'desk-dance' in a way.

Karen smiled. Her eyebrow reaching quizzical new heights.

"I knew it! There is no way to break The Chain. You start at the bottom. We have nothing but clean girls too, regular check-ups and STI checks." she laughed uproariously at this but it was lost on Karen. She felt like someone was twirling a stick round in her guts. She had technically never slept with a woman before. She felt her time in The Chain would be very fucking short!

"If you please your lady you can progress. Oh what thrills there'll be! The Chain leads out of here, remember that and you'll do well, there are some very, very important and sexy people at the top. You can chose to shoot for the moon if you wish. You can always of course meet someone on The Chain you fall in love with and decide to stay with them."

It was warm. Smoky. Was the ceiling coming down?

Oh dear. Are we actually asleep?


Just as the little dancing dots were taking her under she felt something in her hand, "Drink this". A glass, smelled like alcohol. Down in one it went.

Her eyes remained closed for a few seconds. The dots were going away.

"Hey. I know it's a lot to take in"

Karen looked down at her knees.

Sarah put a hand under her chin.

"You're not the first to get a bit wiggy about the whole thing. Gay virgin?"

She said yes without meeting her eyes.

"That doesn't mean you're going to be bad at it. That's why The Chain is a pretty good system. Everyone starting on The Chain is about the same level in terms of expertise and knowledge. You learn as you go. When you want to stop, you stop. Learn about yourself. Love your friends." Sarah leaned forward and kissed her squarely on the mouth.

"Think about it. And I'll see you further along The Chain huh? Your PC will remind you when to visit the company doctor. Can't be too careful ya know"

There was white noise in her head, the kiss has been so soft, yet, powerful!

"Shut the door on your way out, Rochelle will give you the rest of the details"

She was back in her chair, a pair of spectacles perched on her nose. Karen picked up her jacket and her heart which was floating around the light fitting and just as she was pulling the door closed Sarah called to her, "You're going to do well here. Remember work hard, love your friends"

And that was it.

Beginning to end that was the whole thing.

Karen slipped her jacket on. Mental overload had been achieved. As if on cue Rochelle came trotting up the corridor, a grin splitting her face.

She was back on the cuff, when they were at the end of the corridor Rochelle hugged her, kissed her cheek and congratulated her on a good meeting.

What did she do? Ring the second I closed the door?


In the canteen a huge banner had been erected, "Welcome to Tarkingtons!" Women were clapping and wolf whistling.

Fuck me raw. They're all insane!

But there won't ever be a better time to explore yourself, remember what Sarah said.


Never mind what she'd said. Karen wanted her. Badly. It might only have been the open gesture of affection. It might have been the sight of her smoking a cigar. She would go to sleep tonight thinking of that cigar, and the way she had her lips round it.

Shiver me timbers!


"Celebration time" Minnie announced, and just when the day couldn't get any stranger, everyone packed up and Karen was escorted down to a bar at the lobby level of the building. It was called 'Office Relations'. Aptly named so she thought.

Rochelle asked her what she would like to drink, Rochelle turned out to be quite the comedienne and asked her if she'd like tea, Karen said tea wasn't going to cut it, she'd have a beer.

She was shredding snippets of paper from her beer bottle, penned in by Carolyn on one side, Minnie on the other and across from her a lass she guessed had been under the desk before based on the fact that the footwear was the same. She was a very pretty girl, she was called Skylar.

"Its sooo exciting! We've never had a Brit work here before" Minnie squealed, Skylar looked a little downtrodden by this. Karen could have told her not to worry. Minnie wasn't her type. But on The Chain, what did that count for? Not only would she be sleeping with women, but some of them wouldn't be to her taste.

Ah-ha! So you HAVE decided to go through with it.


Yes. Yes she had. It was a gift. The freedom to expand her horizons, meet new people, touch willing flesh.

She shivered.

"Goose stepped on your grave?" Rochelle huffed out cigarette smoke.

"Sommat like that yeah" she smiled.

"Some-at?" Minnie said.

"Yeah, sommat" Karen smiled back, it was funny to think here she was considered the strange one. They were the ones working at the 'All Lesbian Law firm'.

"What does it mean?" Skylar asked timidly.

"Well, it's slang, we say it instead of 'something'. It comes from the expression 'something like that', squeeze them together and get 'sommat'"

"That's freaky" Rochelle said then darted back to the bar.

"There's plenty more where that came from" her beer bottle sat in a shroud of shredded paper, she hadn't had to buy one drink, they just keep appearing in front of her.

There was a real danger here of getting wasted. Rochelle was gassing into her mobile at the bar, she turned to Karen and nodded and then went back to the mobile and looking at the barman.

Minnie shuffled round a little closer. Karen felt her leg right up against her now. If it wasn't for the beer this might have alarmed her but she let whatever was happening happen. This was all new. But it was also interesting. Looking for some support from the receptionist she turned to find she'd gone too.

Just as she thought Skylar was going to throw a fit because Minnie was being obvious she looked down, nodded and promptly left.

Rochelle brought the beers over. She hadn't brought one for herself.

"Well girls. Happy trails"

Eh?


"Erm," she jumped up and knocked one of the bottles over, Minnie grabbed it and righted it, "You off?"

"Yeah" she grinned. "Got plans for tonight. And it looks like you do to." she pulled her closer so her lips were tickling her ear.

"Minnie there never goes higher than number one, she's a sweet enough girl though. I'll pick you up in the morning" she looked over her shoulder at Minnie.

"I'll see you in the morning" more a statement then a question.

She felt a little ill.

Minnie took her hand under the table.

"It's alright you know. They told me you needed help. I'm going to help you. Come on" and as God was her witness she was being led by the cuff yet again, this time to the kerb outside the building where Minnie hailed them a cab, a beer stuck up her jacket sleeve.

The beer had made her head swimmy. This girl. This Minnie. The first step on a slippery slope. What happened to love? Values? Morals?

I tell you when all that went…every time you got a funny look. Every time you fancied a girl and never told her. Every damn night you lay alone wondering if there was a person out there who could fill that fuckin' hole you feel. You've never done this before, let this girl show you. You want to be a trainee forever?


The sight of Sarah Steiger's door plaque rose in her mind.

No!! I'm going to do this!

Fuckin' good job too, if I'm not mistaken that's her hand on your breast!


How could she not have noticed that happy crappy! Fuck-in-hell! Minnie was grinning like a loon and making circular motions on her pert nipple with her thumb.

Whatever she may look like to you that's arousal you're feeling.

Are you sure it isn't just jet-lag?


And against her better judgement she groaned. Minnie felt this through her bra and pressed harder. Karen wondered just how in the blue fuck she had managed to end the day this way, in the back of a city cab having her tit abused by an office lackey.

Then she stopped thinking.

They pulled up outside the apartment complex and Karen led Minnie to her room. Minnie kept pawing at her all the way up in the lift. It was better not to think too hard, thinking had always, always, got in the way of her happiness before. She had never just had sex just for the simple pleasure of it.

There's a first time for everything.

Oi!

What?

Just shut up.


No sooner had she shut the door and the girl was upon her, pinning her quite brutally. She was wicked alright. Where there was no thought, feelings had arrived to take their place instead, sensations, touches. It didn't matter that she had previously thought Minnie not to be her type. She was here and the moment was now.

There was ferocious kissing and when she did let Karen up for air she started stripping her suit off.

Minnie smiled the whole time. Relentlessly. Had she chosen to think about what was going on she might have thought she looked a bit silly.

The Chain. That's all that matters.


She started to pull Minnie's shirt out of her smart black pants and put both hands underneath to touch her breasts, Minnie laughed around the kiss they were still engaged in. They stumble walked through to the bedroom. Anything that was in the way got knocked over and bumped into. Karen was living every porn fantasy she'd ever had and she wasn't far off her climax, never before had she had such contact.

Minnie reached over and flicked the lamp on. Karen watched her undo her shirt, smiling coyly at her all the while. Karen pulled her shirt off over her head, buttons still done up, she kicked her shoes across the room and shucked her pants down. It took about 15 seconds.

They looked at each other. The plateau they portrayed could have been of feeding animals. Karen prepared herself for what was about to come. Minnie chewed her bottom lip in a cutesey-poo manner Karen ignored. She knocked Minnie backwards and pinned her down. Minnie was going to get the full force of her frustration. Lucky for her! Karen would get on The Chain. Each of them had their own agendas.

Karen put her hand inside Minnie's underwear and Minnie became a different person. She wasn't in charge anymore. Feeling her way carefully she stopped when she had two fingers against where she felt Minnie's clitoris to be. She started to make slow pressing gestures and Minnie squirmed beneath her, breath hitching, breasts heaving.

"OH GOD!" she was biting Karen's neck, Karen didn't feel a thing, she was kissing Minnie's face, neck, ears. It helped to think of this as a means to an end. Curiously though, the more excited Minnie got, the more excited she found herself getting.

"Uh, UH, UH, UUUHHHHHHHHHH!" the girl arched beneath her, she persisted though and kept the pressure on, she ended up wishing she'd moved her head though. Minnie's screech nearly burst her eardrum.

All you had to do was fly half way round the world and get pissed to get laid. If I'd have known sooner!


She didn't know what came next. Minnie was puffing away next to her ear.

'That's the sound of the men, working on the chain gang…'
whistled through her mind.

Minnie put her arms around the back of Karen and unsnapped her bar, Karen took her hands out of Minnie's pants and braced herself, she had no idea how she was going to react to this at all. Doing it to someone had turned out easy enough, she had always relied on herself for such simple pleasures and knew what it took to get her rocks off. How different could it be to do it to someone else she mused?

OH shit, oh shit, ohshit, ohshit,shitshitshitSHITSHITSHIT!


Then the litany was gone. Swept away by brutal passion. Minnie was kissing her and doing things to her she had never imagined possible. She was gentle, she knew it was the first ever time for Karen. She would make it as nice as she could. That's all she would ever do for her friends. Love your friends. That was the credo. She was sworn to live or die by it.

Karen couldn't keep her arms straight, there was too much going on, sensory input jamming up all the gears. Minnie pushed her over and slipped her panties all the way off. There was a sensation of breeze then Minnie was on her again. Warming her. Giving her something she had never had before. A warm and well meaning touch. Pleasure.

Minnie studied Karen's face carefully whilst she manipulated and teased. This could make or break The Chain for her. Anchor woman was a serious business. Breaking in the newbies was divine! And it had to be said that Karen's touch hadn't been all that bad for a first timer, not bad at all.

There were whimpering noises, exhausted and over taxed nerves were jangling that something new was on its way. Karen had never considered herself excitable but as the mewling noises escaped her she realised that there really was no finer thing on earth. It couldn't be helped. Couldn't be stopped. Then everything went white. As she came Minnie took a breast in her mouth and began teasing the nipple. Karen's body became a thrumming wire, Minnie's hand still pressed against her vulnerable lips and not letting up.

Her breath was laboured. Blood pounded through all her awakened nerves. Her wildest imaginings had never come close.

Ohhh, what if it had been Sarah?


Another moan escaped her. She wasn't sure what Minnie was doing but it felt very much like she was going to climax again.

Oh my fuckin God sommats happening. Its not poss…


She was rendered insensible. The second wave hit. Karen went with it, powerless to stop, her nerves not fully recovered from the last orgasm were awake again and screaming!

It was Minnie's turn to wince.

Things went quiet then. She felt Minnie leave the bed and plod into the bathroom. There was that feeling of breeze again and it was alright this time. She needed something to cool her down. Then footsteps coming back towards her. A hand on her wrist.

"Come on. Lets get you all cleaned up" for the last time that day she was being led. She was put under the shower, Minnie hopped in and starting soaping her off.

"What?" she asked of Minnie's smile.

"Pretty neat huh? And when you're on the Chain we can do that whenever we like!"

Minnie soaped her shoulders, arms, breasts, neck. Karen let her. At any moment now she'd wake up with her hands down her pants. Surely.

"Silly!" Minnie bopped the end of her nose with her sponge as if she'd heard the thought.

She leaned forward and kissed her through the bubbles. Karen let her do that too, it seemed to be the day for being submissive. Although the beer very likely had som
