Chapter 29
They started in the same pairs as earlier, all in the second bedroom, Ellie with Alexa on one side of the bed, Becca with Mia on the other. The big difference this time, of course, was that they left the lights on.
“You sure about the lights?” Mia asked.
Becca nodded her head. “Our holiday house, our rules. Lights on. Right Ellie?”
“Right.” She paused and flashed a grin. “But only the lamps, none of your overhead light nonsense.” It was the eternal battle between them, and one that Ellie always won, that age old conflict: overhead lights versus lamps.
The hotel had been fun in a spring break experience kind of way, because who didn’t want to have once in their life where they could hear someone else hooking up in the dark on the other side of the room? This, though, just took it a whole step further.
Ellie could see Alexa’s face when she kissed her, could see the flush on her cheeks and the way her eyes kept fluttering closed, and she could see Becca and Mia next to them, Mia pulling Becca’s bikini top off, Becca’s hands on Mia’s shoulders, and the visual was so much more than the sound had been…
the loop was firing up properly now, the jealousy and the arousal braiding together, feeding each other, as she watched her wife being undressed by another woman within touching distance while her own lips were on Alexa.
One minute they were wearing their bikinis, the next none of them were…
Ellie was never quite sure afterwards how it had happened, but it did.
She did remember struggling to undo the knot on Alexa’s top, laughing together as she finally managed it, kissing the lines in her skin where it had dug in slightly after a solid day of use.
The laughter helped. It dissolved whatever residual awkwardness four naked women in a bed might have had, so that by the time they were all naked the energy was a little bit giddy.
The pairs held for a while. Ellie went down on Alexa, the first time she’d ever used her mouth on anyone but Becca, and the novelty of a different body, different responses, different sounds was electric.
Alexa talked to her quietly, responding in real time, and when she came it was sexy as hell, Alexa grabbing the headboard and saying “fuck… fuck… fuck…” with each gasp as the waves rolled through her.
Next to them Becca was doing the same for Mia, her and Ellie exchanging excited grins at one point, and Mia’s reaction was as loud as it had been in the hotel, genuinely noisy, gasping and swearing as her own pleasure coursed through her.
“Last spring break and a first time experience,” Mia said, head back on the pillow, breathless and flushed.
“First time a woman’s been down on you at spring break?” Becca asked, her fingers still teasing Mia, drawing another gasp.
She shook her head though. “First time ever…” Mia laughed. “You took my virginity. Holy shit,” she gasped as Becca stroked her. “Oh… fuck… you’re good.”
Alexa lifted her head from Ellie’s breast, Ellie’s nipple feeling the shock of the air on her now wet skin. “Yeah, you were definitely a virgin before tonight.”
“Shut up,” Mia grinned. “You’ll make me sound slutty in front of the lesbians…”
Ellie couldn’t help laughing at that.
Not long after that the boundaries broke down.
Ellie did it first, leaning across to kiss Mia while Alexa’s lips kept on exploring Ellie’s body.
When she glanced at Becca she saw a look of almost feral intensity, confirmed when Becca pulled Alexa to her and kissed her hard.
It all started to blur, hands and lips and tongues everywhere and nowhere all at once, a haze of increasingly pleasurable sensations.
Alexa went down on Becca, tentative at first, looking up for guidance, and Becca gently steered her with her hands in Alexa’s blonde hair, patient and encouraging.
When Alexa found the right rhythm Becca’s head fell back and she moaned.
Ellie watched from inches away, even while Mia’s hand played between her legs sending little sparks of pleasure through her, and felt the loop spin up to a level she’d never experienced…
her wife being pleasured by the woman who’d been touching Ellie not ten minutes before, the boundaries between watching and participating collapsed entirely, and it was overwhelming in the best possible way.
She was jealous of both women, she realised, wanting them both, not just one, and all the while Mia’s fingers pushed her higher and higher.
“It’s been a while,” Alexa grinned when Becca came, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand, looking flushed and decidedly pleased with herself. “Was that ok? I’m a little rusty.”
“That was more than ok,” Becca said breathlessly. “How rusty are we talking?” She laid her head back on the pillow again. “That didn’t feel rusty.”
Alexa’s grin widened with pride. “A few years. Not since high school. Clearly I remembered more than I thought.”
***
The four of them kept going until, sometime in the early hours, the intensity started to settle into something calmer… not surprising, Ellie figured, given the hour and how much they’d drunk that evening.
Ellie went to fetch a drink of water, lingering in the kitchen for a few minutes to catch her breath, but as she came back upstairs Becca intercepted her.
“Ssshh…” she said quietly, putting her finger to Ellie’s lips.
“What is it?” Ellie whispered.
Becca was smiling excitedly. “Look.” She gestured with her head towards the second bedroom. “Quietly.”
Ellie tiptoed along until she could see past the door and stopped, enthralled. One lamp was still on, presumably Becca had pulled the door half-closed, but otherwise the room was as she’d left it a few minutes before.
On the bed though… Mia and Alexa were under the covers now, Alexa on her back, head resting on the pillow, and Mia was next to her, leaning across, kissing her deeply, her hand moving under the covers while Alexa’s hand was on the back of her head, pulling her close.
It was electric.
Ellie half expected to see lightning crackling across the room it was so hot… nothing, absolutely nothing, existed in the world right then for those two except each other and whatever this had ignited between them.
She felt Becca walk up behind her, her chin resting on Ellie’s shoulder, her arms reaching around Ellie’s front, holding her tight. Ellie reached a hand back.
The kiss went on, slowly, timelessly, Alexa and Mia utterly lost in each other, and Ellie couldn’t tear her eyes away even though her gut told her she must, that something was happening there that was intensely private and was for the two of them alone.
Couldn’t tear her eyes away, that is, until Becca’s lips found her neck, once, twice, three times, and then her lips found Ellie’s ear and whispered so quietly that only Ellie could possibly hear, “Come to bed, and let me kiss you like that…”
Ellie didn’t need asking twice, the spell broken, and turned to follow Becca through to their bedroom, turning off the landing light as they went.
***
Becca closed the bedroom door and turned to face Ellie, and for a moment they just looked at each other in the lamplight. They both looked exactly like two women who’d spent hours drinking and fucking, and Ellie reckoned she’d never liked the look of Becca more… she looked liberated, freed.
“Hey,” Becca whispered.
“Hey.”
“You ok?”
“I’m incredible. You?”
“Same.” She stepped forward and took both of Ellie’s hands. “I need my wife now.”
“I need mine.”
Becca reached behind Ellie’s neck and unfastened her own necklace from where it hung. Ellie did the same, returning Becca’s, and they put them back where they belonged… each woman wearing her own chain again, the pendants warm from the other’s skin.
“Back where they belong,” Becca whispered, touching the pendant at her own throat.
“Always.” Ellie smiled. “I mean no one could tell the difference.”
“We can, though. We really can.”
Suddenly they were all over each other, and quickly they were in their bed, their actual bed, and it was like the first night after Kelly all over again: the fierce, possessive, reclaiming sex that both of them needed after giving themselves to other people, except this time Ellie needed it too, needed to be reclaimed as much as she needed to reclaim, because tonight she’d been someone else’s as well.
It was fast, it was frantic, and Becca absolutely kept her promise to kiss Ellie precisely how Mia had been kissing Alexa. They were fast, they were frantic, but above all they were quiet. Neither woman wanted to risk interfering with whatever it was that was happening down the hall.
They both came fast, too fast, but neither cared. They reclaimed each other, thoroughly and completely, and that was what mattered. Good, slow, sensual sex… they had plenty of time for that another time.
“You’re mine,” Ellie said, “and thank you. For tonight.”
Becca grinned beneath her. “No, you’re mine.” She planted a quick kiss on Ellie’s lips. “We should do that more often.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah.”
“Let’s think about it. I mean, yeah, but I like watching and not taking part just as much.”
Becca nodded. “Yeah, I like you watching. I can save sharing you for someone special.”
Ellie rolled over onto her back, reaching to switch off the light. Becca cuddled up into her, their usual sleeping position, Becca’s head on Ellie’s shoulder, Ellie’s arm around her.
“It was a good night,” Becca whispered.
“The best night.”
Then, through the closed bedroom door, they heard it… faint but unmistakable, coming from the second bedroom.
A moan… another… then another… getting louder… getting closer together…
“Oh my God,” Becca whispered. “They’re really going for it.”
They listened. The sounds built, what sounded like Alexa getting louder, Mia’s voice breaking through, and a steady rhythm now, the creak of a bed. And then there was no doubt, no doubt at all: Alexa came loud and long, a series of cries and swear words followed by silence.
Ellie started giggling, and that set Becca off, and soon the two of them were desperately trying to keep quiet.
“That’s our fault,” Ellie whispered when the giggles finally subsided.
“Good. There’s definitely something there.”
“Totally.”
They lay there in the dark for a few minutes, feeling the house go silent around them, and then the noises started again, what sounded like Mia this time.
“You think this will go on all night?” Ellie asked. “I want to get some sleep.”
She felt Becca shrug against her. “They promised us the full spring break experience tonight, didn’t they?” Becca snuggled in closer.
Then sleepily she added, “Good for them.”
