Page 8 of Her Shadow

Kara held her breath, her heart racing, her words mumbling. “Me too. It’s like a…connection? I'm sorry if that sounds corny. I mean, it could be any kind of connection. I'm just saying it’s…”

“I get it, Kara. I feel something for you,” Sam said, her chest rising and falling rapidly.

Kara exhaled, blowing out a breath. “Well, I like to be straight to the point, and honestly, me, too. There’s something about you. Something that makes everything else seem less important.”

Sam’s eyes darkened. “God, I’m pleased you said that. I feel like an idiot, like a teenage girl with a silly crush. But in this shitty world, I don’t keep secrets. There’s no point in wasting time, so I just wanted to tell you, you know? And if you feel weird or anything, I'll just pretend this conversation never happened and we’ll move forward.”

“I feel far from weird. Stop overthinking it. I agree we may as well just say how you feel. Tomorrow is never promised.” Kara smiled, her expression gentle and calm.

Their bodies seemed to move closer, drawn together by an invisible force. Kara reached out her hand, brushing her fingers against Sam’s cheek, feeling the warmth of her skin. Sam’s arm found its way to Kara’s waist, pulling her into a gentle embrace. There was no time for games.

The kiss they shared was soft at first, a tender exploration that quickly deepened into something more intense. Kara’s lips pressed against Sam’s, feeling the heat and sweetness of her mouth. Sam’s hands roamed over Kara’s back, pulling her closer, their bodies aligning with an intuitive sense of intimacy.

Kara’s breath was ragged as their kiss grew more passionate. Her hands tangled in Sam’s hair, the texture of her rough curls a pleasing contrast to the softness of her skin. Sam’s lips parted slightly, allowing Kara’s tongue to brush against hers. The smell of nature filled the air around them. Damp earth and wet leaves.

Kara’s fingers trailed down Sam’s back, tracing the curve of her spine, feeling the subtle tension and strength in her muscles. Sam’s hands moved to Kara’s shoulders, gently pushing her jacket aside to reveal the bare skin underneath.

“Are you…sure?” Sam asked Kara, a look of concern flashing across her features.

“More than sure.”

The sensation of their bodies pressed together became more pronounced. Kara’s shirt rode up slightly, exposing her midriff, and the skin-to-skin contact created a whirlwind of emotions in her stomach. Sam’s touch was both firm and gentle, her hands exploring every contour of Kara’s body.

Soft murmurs of pleasure punctuated their kisses. Kara’s fingers traced the line of Sam’s jaw, feeling the subtle shifts in the shape of her face as their passion built. Sam’s breath was hot against Kara’s neck, sending shivers down her spine.

I can’t believe this is happening…

Kara’s hands moved to Sam’s shirt. She unbuttoned it urgently. The fabric fell away, revealing her skin beneath. It was so soft, so bronzed. Kara was already obsessed with it. Sam moaned, taking her breath away.

“Stay quiet. We don’t want to be interrupted,” Kara whispered and gently laughed.

As they continued to explore each other, taking turns removing pieces of clothing until they were both in their underwear, the intensity of their connection grew. Kara’s lips traveled down Sam’s neck, tasting the salty sweetness of herskin. Sam’s hands roamed over Kara’s body, her touch firm and tender.

Sam’s response was equally enthusiastic. Her fingers traced patterns on Kara’s body, exploring every inch with a mix of wonder and desire.

As their passion started to reach its peak, the intensity of their connection was matched by the tenderness of their touch. Kara’s fingers explored Sam’s thighs, leading up to her wetness. Her fingers slid inside, feeling the heat and moisture of her arousal.

Kara’s touch became more deliberate, her fingers pushing softly inside of Sam, slowly curling them deep inside of her. She felt Sam’s body respond with shudders of pleasure while clearly trying her best to stay as quiet as possible.

“I want you to touch yourself as I fuck you,” Kara begged.

Sam looked into her eyes and did as asked, her fingers slowly sliding down and massaging her own clit in gentle circles.

Kara picked up the pace, fucking her deeper. Watching her body tighten up.

Sam's hands gripped Kara’s shoulders, her nails digging in slightly as the pleasure intensified. Kara felt electrified as she watched Sam experience a series of orgasmic waves that crashed over her with increasing force.

“Don’t stop,” Sam gasped. “Please, don’t stop. I’m going to come. Fuck. Keep fucking me.”

Kara’s heart raced at Sam’s plea, her own body responding as wetness soaked through her pants. She changed position and moved downward to press her lips against Sam’s inner thigh and replaced Sam's fingers with her tongue, sucking and circling her swollen clit as Sam lost herself in a deep climax.

Sam’s hips bucked slightly as she reached her peak. Kara’s fingers and tongue continued their gentle, rhythmic motion, guiding Sam through the waves of pleasure.

As the intensity of Sam’s orgasm subsided, Kara’s touch grew gentler, her fingers brushing softly against Sam’s now-slick vulva. She leaned in and planted a final tender kiss on her body.

“That was…” Sam began, her voice calm. “Well…I can’t believe it. I can’t believe we just…did that. I didn’t expect it to…well…I’m just…I need a minute before…”

Kara smiled, her breath still unsteady. “You’re incredible. Just relax, I don’t need anything else,” she managed to splutter, her fingers gently tracing the outline of Sam’s body.
