They fell on top of each other on the bed, rolled around until Kris was on top, just the way she liked it. She took control, grasped both wrists of the girl and spread them out on the bed while she pushed her thigh between her legs and spread those too. Kris kissed her mouth hard once more before she moved her tongue down the side of the girl’s neck just below her earlobe. She felt the girl twitch in excitement below her, arching her body toward her. Kris continued to let her tongue explore further down the girl’s body, across her chest and down the cleavage between her breasts. She let her tongue twirl under one of the breasts and trace back up again to circle her nipple before wrapping her lips around it. Kris grasped the nipple by her teeth and gently nibbled on it, hearing the girl respond with a moan and a further arching of her body. Kris pumped her body into hers and moved slightly to position herself perfectly aligned above the girl. She massaged her pelvis into the girl’s groin while she let her tongue slide further down her belly. Kris eased away to position her head lower down and breathed out softly just above the moist center. The girl reacted immediately with a loud gasp.
“Oh, you’re gonna make me come too soon”, Julia exclaimed. She was losing all control of herself. This one knows what she’s doing! She knew how to hit all the right spots and she looked magnificent on top of her, all in control and dominating. It was such a turn-on that Julia felt herself grow very wet. “I want your fingers inside of me now, please” she breathed heavily, and Kris stopped her teasing, leaned in, flicked her tongue across her hardened center and quickly slid two fingers deep inside. The girl arched immediately further up while crying out in ecstasy and started rocking into Kris’ fingers. It did not take long until Kris noticed the strong shivering of the girl’s thighs and her uncontrolled breathing before the girl beneath her started screaming of joy and grasping onto the bed sheets.
Afterward, Kris rolled over and smiled, content with having made yet another lady satisfied.
Chapter 3
The taxi stopped at the security gate, and the driver motioned to Liz that this was as far as they got. “They won’t let me through the gate unfortunately, I hope it’ll be okay for you?” the driver apologized. Liz nodded politely, but sighed at the thought of dragging her heavy suitcase through the large campus. However, she understood the reasoning behind. The summer school was located at a very secure government area where the national space administration had their advanced research offices. It was an exciting thought to be spending her summer in such a location, and it almost weighed up for the long and tiring walk she had ahead.
She reported to the security officers at the gate, showed her passport and admission papers before they guided her toward the route she would take to get to the registration office. Liz felt butterflies in her stomach when she dreamed about the wonderful summer ahead. She grabbed on to her suitcase and started rolling it in the right direction. Around her were a mixture of old and modern office buildings, some which looked like regular office space and some which looked more like secure government labs – no windows and surrounded by high walls. At least the campus has plenty of green parks in between the buildings, which makes for a cozy atmosphere. She could see several other young people in a clearing ahead of her and smiled at the opportunities they represented. Who would she meet, what kind of people would attend this program, would she find any friends or maybe even something more this summer? All the unanswered questions floated around her mind while she slowly walked in the blistering heat toward the campus center.
The registration office was located in the middle of the housing area. The apartment buildings looked like they originated from the 1950s, rather simple architecture with equally spaced one-room apartments and a continually connecting balcony walk-way in front of all of them. Each brick building three stories high, they made for a nice surrounding architecture around the centered registration building. She pushed open its doors and found a chaotic area of suitcases, students, registration desks, employees and paperwork in front of her. The level of buzzing and chitchatting inside indicated that all the introductions were ongoing amongst the newly arrived students. Everyone eager to get to know each other wore a huge grin on their faces. This is awesome!
Liz walked over to her section of the alphabet listed on the cardboard signs above the tables, grabbed her registration papers and started filling them out in one corner. While she was still struggling with all the numerous fields to finalize, a sportive girl wearing shoulder-length brown hair in a perky ponytail walked up to her and introduced herself as Katie. The green-eyed girl smiled greatly at Liz while she informed her that she came from Australia. “Where are you from?” she asked. Liz told her she was from Sweden, and Katie announced with great pleasure that she really wanted to visit Scandinavia soon since she had heard so many beautiful things about the nature there. Liz smiled at the gesture and appreciated it when someone had at least basic knowledge of where her home country was located, nonetheless actually wanted to visit it.
Katie explained that she had just arrived to the States the day before and she was still rather jetlagged, her body imagining this was the middle of the night instead of the early afternoon. Liz joined in the complaint and said she had struggled to sleep long this morning, even though she knew she had the chance to enjoy a lazy late breakfast. Finally, she had succumbed to her body’s demands and had an early breakfast instead, followed by spending the rest of the morning in front of the pool with a good book. “At least you had the sense to bring enough good books, I finished all of mine during the flight here. But maybe we can swap a couple, if you’re up for it?”, Katie asked. “Sure, that’s actually a great idea! What kind of books do you read?” Liz smiled toward Kate. “Mostly crime books, they go fast and give me some easy reading. After finishing my studies this semester I have a need to read something where I don’t have to memorize every single sentence.” Katie gave her a crooked smile in return. Liz gestured enthusiastically in agreement, “I know exactly what you mean, I just finished my aerospace degree myself, just a couple of weeks ago, in the Netherlands where I’ve been living the past three years.”
“Oh wow, the Netherlands. I’ve heard about an aerospace engineering university there, it’s supposed to be really good! I also wanted to go there, but it seemed a bit far away. So I just took a physics degree instead. But I certainly hope to learn more about space during this summer program! You, on the other hand, you must know most of the curriculum up front then?” Katie peered curiously over at Liz. “Well, I’m not entirely sure about that.” Liz looked shyly down at her folded hands. “Although, I have been interested in space since I was twelve years old, so I have read up on a few things over the years.” Liz smiled and looked down again. “But my specialization this summer will be business management, since I want to start my own company some day”, Liz explained. “In that domain I’m a complete newbie” she winked back at Katie.
“Well, good to know I’m not the only one who will be struggling through some curriculum this summer.” Katie laughed and Liz joined in. Another Spanish-looking girl walked up to them, her curly deep brown hair bouncing off her shoulders and her big brown eyes surrounded by long sparkling eyelashes. “I’m a bio major, so I’ll certainly have a lot of catching up to do this summer.” The girl continued talking without a breath. “I heard rumors that without any physics background the courses are gonna be rather tough to get through. Perhaps one of you wouldn’t mind helping me out a bit if I seem to be sinking fast?” the girl raced through the sentences with a smile, while reaching out her hand. “I’m Felicia by the way, nice to meet you both. Where are you two from then? Myself, I’m from Spain, near Barcelona. But I studied in Madrid for the past five years, just finished last year and have been working at a small government lab for the past year.” The words flooded out of Felicia while her body eagerly engaged.
Katie replied first. “I’m from Australia myself. I just finished a physics major and am eager to get into more space oriented courses this summer.”
Katie smiled with acknowledgement over at Liz. “I really want to try and find some space related work in Europe when this program is over. That’s my main ambition and reason for taking these courses this summer. I guess you have a similar ambition maybe?” Katie peered curiously over at Felicia. “Yeah, guilty as charged” she grinned in return. “Plus, I want to meet some really cute aerospace engineers I can bring home with me to Spain” she winked before laughing loudly. “How about you Liz, what’s your background?” Liz positioned herself better so she could face Felicia. “I’m from Sweden, but I’ve been living in the Netherlands for the past couple of years studying to be an aerospace engineer. I just graduated in fact, same as Katie here.” Liz nodded back toward Katie. “Ah, nice! I heard that Dutch guys are really tall by the way, is it true?” Felicia curiously asked Liz. “I guess you could say that yes, in general all Dutch people are about a foot higher than me, at least. I actually struggled when I tried to buy jeans there, as the legs always were too long for me.” Liz shrugged her shoulders. “Hehe, I never would’ve imagined that being a problem, but I guess so yes” Katie laughed.
“Any cute boys in Australia then Katie?” Felicia asked with a wink.
“Sure, plenty of them. But I wouldn’t know too many, since I’ve been with the same guy ever since I was 17.” Katie squared her shoulders. “I met my boyfriend at high school. He’s a mechanical engineer, graduated last year. He’s not too thrilled about me being gone for an entire summer though, but I told him I need to focus on my career now. I can’t be his house wife; he should know that. I’ve always been a strong character, knowing what I wanted and having gone for it.” Katie slowly looked down at her hands before continuing quietly. “To be honest, I’m not sure he’s willing to follow me to Europe. He didn’t exactly sound too happy about it last time we spoke”. Liz leaned across and gently grasped Katie’s shoulder before giving it a comforting squeeze. “I’m sure he’ll come around eventually, just give him some time. He’s just being a temporary idiot” Liz smiled at Katie and received a crooked smile in return. “There you are” Liz’ smile widened. “You’re with friends this summer, okay? Just have the time of your life when you’re here, and you can tackle all that after the summer instead.”
Felicia interrupted them and focused her attention on Liz. “How about you Liz, any boyfriend you left behind back in the Netherlands perhaps?” Liz felt herself blushing. She hated this part. How did she avoid immediately getting very personal and admitting she was actually into girls? She wished the English language was less explicit. In Sweden, you just used the same word, whether it was a boy or a girl you were talking about. That allowed her to delay the admission and personal level of detail for a bit. But instead she opted for the generic avoidance route. “No, I’m still single. Too much studying and too little dating I guess. But single life is good though, you can go to parties any time you want. I join dinners with my friends five times a week and study late the rest of the days. I guess if I had someone at home expecting me I couldn’t be as spontaneous as I’ve been so far. We usually just study until early evening, then go out together for a couple of beers and some good food, before we end up at a local pool hall for a night cap. I love that kinda life.” Liz smiled at them, and herself, for avoiding the entire topic. “Yeah, that does sound like quite a nice lifestyle” Katie admitted, with a hint of jealousy in her voice. “I look forward to hopefully finding a job somewhere in Europe and going out to explore new cities every evening. We have to do these things while we’re still young and able, before work and kids tie us down. Hopefully my boyfriend will join me as well.” Katie looked carefully at the two of them. Felicia’s curls bounced while she excitedly responded. “Totally agree! Madrid has an amazing party scene, so I can highly recommend that we rendezvous there one weekend after this summer. You girls have to come visit me!” She pulled them both in for a hug.
Liz could not believe she had managed to make friends already during the first five minutes after entering the registration building. This seemed like a good group, and foundation for the summer. She couldn’t wait to get to know the rest of them. Liz let her eyes graze across the crowd to try and guess who they were and where they came from. She also curiously tried to spot if any of them seemed gay or lesbian. Ever since she came out herself this had become her favorite sport; trying to find her likeminded peers in any crowd. It almost seemed like she was part of some secret society, and to her great surprise it actually seemed as if she had what was popularly known as a “gaydar”. Before she had come out of the closet she had been utterly clueless, never even noticing anyone gay around her, not even when they had apparently been flirting heavily with her. But now her eyes were wide open and she was eagerly examining the crowd for any hints of who could be part of her world.
Liz found someone already after a quick scan; an adorable, obviously gay guy standing in the other corner. He was incredibly well dressed and therefore kind of stood out a bit in this typical engineering male crowd. Engineering guys tended to be very practical in their outfits, and selecting the easy solution being a pair of jeans and a well-worn t-shirt. This guy, however, wore a checkered starched shirt in purple and white, with a dark green tie matched with a green beret. His dark blue jeans were tightly fitted to his legs and showed off his apparently well-trained body. Yup, has to be gay!
Liz continued her gaze through the room. The large crowd was a good mixture of girls and guys, most of them in their mid-twenties to early thirties. Everyone wore summer outfits and looks of eager anticipation, the room brimming with positive energy. At the opposite side of the room she finally saw one girl whom she thought had to be lesbian. The girl was sturdy built, with unruly brown curly hair dropping down to her shoulders. She had that cool attitude Liz often found in gay girls, that unbeatable confidence and smirk in their eyes. She wished she could find it in herself to be that comfortable with herself too. In time she whispered silently, in time.
Suddenly one girl at the very far end of the room caught her attention. Wow. Liz swallowed to catch her breath. She’s absolutely gorgeous. Damn! Surrounded by a big group, laughing and obviously enjoying being the center of attention, there stood a girl with bleached sandy blond short hair, sparkling smiling eyes and radiating strong energy all around her. She was really breathtaking and Liz gasped at the sight. Wow.
Felicia interrupted her train of thought when she leaned in toward them and whispered. “Don’t look girls, but over there is a very cute guy who seem to be looking our way.” Her eyes glittered in anticipation. Liz quickly averted her gaze in the opposite corner and saw a brown haired typical all-American boy looking their way. He was sturdy built with broad shoulders and a fit body. His attention seemed to be locked onto Katie and he had an almost dreamy look upon him. “I hate to disappoint you Felicia, but I think he’s focused on Katie here”. Katie abruptly raised her head and stared firstly at Liz before shifting her head in the direction of the brown-haired figure of attention. Liz saw his positive surprise when he locked eyes with Katie, before his whole face smiled brightly. Katie quickly lowered her eyes again, blushing while she turned away. “He’s just a flirtatious boy, they’re everywhere his kind.” She whispered, mostly to herself. Liz noticed that the boy had started to maneuver himself toward them. Uh oh, here he comes. She smiled to herself at the game of love taking place, but her melancholy hung in the back of her mind. Why can’t it be this easy with girls as well?
The brown-haired boy walked up to them with his hands in his pocket, confident strides directly toward Katie. “Hey girls, where are you from? I’m Bryan by the way”. He reached his hand out to greet them. He certainly doesn’t lose time! Liz thought to herself as her thoughts drifted away from the introductions taking place and back to the absolutely stunning girl she had spotted across the room. The girl had moved away now, but her memory lingered clearly in Liz’ mind. I have to try and get to know her somehow. Not quite sure how I’ll ever manage to get close enough to her, but I have to try, I jus
t have to.
Liz braced herself for what she imagined would be a hectic summer filled with mixed emotions. She hoped it would also lead to some new adventures and self-evolution. Who knows.
Chapter 4
Kris examined the time schedule for the months ahead. “Damn, this is a tight schedule for sure” she sighed to herself. But at least it seems we have a couple of weekends off. Maybe I can take a trip up to San Fran for some clubbing in between, satisfy a couple of my needs, she thought with a smirk. The room she had been given was small, but still large enough for one person. It was simply furnished with one double bed in the center of the room, two night stands, a refrigerator, a closet where she had already unpacked all her clothes, a table and a bookcase. In the back of the room was the bathroom with a rather spacious shower and otherwise basic furnishing. But it should be sufficient for three months, she thought, and in any case I’ll hardly have time to spend in here if I look at the way this schedule is organized.
Kris just hoped she would have some time to ride her motorcycle; the roads around here were perfectly curving through the beautiful Californian terrain. I have to grab the opportunity while I’m here. Her thoughts were interrupted by a beep from her cell phone. She picked it up from the nightstand and saw that she had one new incoming message. She clicked on the message icon and opened it. Not again. Why can’t she just get over this? Kris sighed while she read the text message from Carrie. ‘Hi honey. I know you want some peace for a little while now, but I miss you so much. I just want us to talk again so we can resolve this fight we’re having. Please call me back, okay baby?’ Kris looked away from the screen and out the window to the clear blue sky. It’s perfect out here. Why should I let her screw it up? She shook her head and quickly texted back before she tossed her phone on the bed. ‘Carrie, we broke up, remember? We’re not having just another fight, I’m done now.’ Suddenly Kris heard a lot of noise outside and stepped out on the walk-way balcony.
