“I want you to take us to your house, but I don’t want to sit in the sapphic study with you.”
Cat saw Elena glance over at her and nod. “I want that, too.”
Cat smiled and the nervousness that was coursing through her body changed to excitement. She couldn’t wait to show Elena how much she loved her.

They didn’t say much on the ride home. Elena could feel her heart pounding and tried to take a deep breath to steady the jitters that had taken up residence in her body since Cat had asked to go home with her. This is Cat, she told herself. She is the person you have fallen in love with. Of course you’re nervous, but it’s Cat. Your Cat.
Elena pulled into the garage and they both got out of the car. Cat waited for Elena to open the door to the kitchen then took her hand once they were inside.
Elena led them through the kitchen, but Cat stopped them outside the sapphic study. She reached up and gently stroked Elena’s face. Her fingers felt so good and her touch somewhat calmed the nervousness running through Elena’s body. Elena looked into Cat’s now dark blue eyes.
“I know how important this is to you, El, but I want you to know it’s just as important to me,” Cat said. “This is your first time, but it’s my first time with you. It’s just as special to me.” She pulled them into the sapphic study.
“I didn’t think you wanted to sit in here,” Elena said with confusion on her face.
“We’re not going to sit. In a way, this room brought us together,” Cat said. “And in this room is where I want to tell you for the first of many times that I’m in love with you, Elena. I think from the first day you walked into my life and our eyes met, I started to fall in love with you.”
“Oh, Cat,” Elena said, her voice full of emotion. “I’ve fallen in love with you, too.” Being able to tell Cat this made Elena’s heart beat with joy. Cat loved her and she loved Cat. In some ways it was so simple. Their hearts helped them through the confused thoughts so they could be in this moment together.
Elena smiled at Cat and softly kissed those perfect lips. She led them down the hall to her bedroom and stopped at the foot of the bed. She turned to face Cat and they simply stared into each other's eyes for a moment.
Cat slowly unbuttoned her shirt and Elena could see the deep red bra underneath.
Elena gasped and Cat grinned. “I wear this one when I want to feel you near me and I need a little extra confidence. I knew tonight would be special because I had to tell you about the dream. I had to tell you that you’re the woman my heart knew would make me happy before my mind was ready to grasp it.”
Elena pushed the shirt from Cat’s shoulders and let it fall to the floor. Then she pulled her own shirt over her head and tossed it aside.
Cat reached for the front of Elena’s jeans and raised her eyebrows as she looked into her eyes. She unbuttoned them then slid the zipper down.
The corner of Elena’s mouth twitched into a smile as Cat pushed the jeans down her legs and waited for her to step out of them.
Once again Elena followed Cat’s lead and slid the jeans down Cat’s legs to reveal the matching red undies.
“You are beautiful,” Cat whispered as she reached around and unclasped Elena’s bra.
“I’m older than you and my body?—”
Cat silenced Elena with a soft kiss then placed her hand over Elena’s heart. “This is what is beautiful and makes all of you beautiful to me.”
Cat guided Elena’s bra strap slowly down her arms and Elena could see the desire in Cat’s eyes. It looked like an inviting pool of lust and love that she wanted to immerse herself in and never come up.
Cat reached up and cradled Elena’s face and stared into her eyes. “I love you,” she whispered and brought their lips together in a long, soulful kiss. When she pulled away Cat said, “Look into my eyes. You’ll see the wonder and love as I discover all of you.”
Her fingers began to slowly trace down from Elena’s cheeks and outlined her collar bones then whispered over her chest until Cat cupped both of Elena’s breasts.
Elena could hear her own shaky breaths, but when Cat cupped her breasts she closed her eyes and savored the feel of Cat holding her so intimately. If this feels this good, how will I survive the night, she wondered.
Cat ran her thumbs over Elena’s nipples that were already hardened pebbles. Elena heard Cat take a deep breath and moan. “So beautiful.”
Elena couldn’t wait any longer and wanted to be naked with Cat. “As much as I love this lingerie I want to feel your skin pressed to mine.”
Cat smiled. “Then take it off.”
Elena gave her a shy grin and reached around and unfastened the red bra. She let it fall to the floor with their other clothes then slid Cat’s panties down her legs. She marveled at Cat’s beautiful body and couldn’t wait to touch every inch. Elena took a deep breath to slow her eagerness. There was no way she was rushing through this.
At one time she may have dreamed of touching and having sex with another woman, but this was Cat. This was so much more than sex and climax and orgasm. This was sharing their love in the most intimate way.
