Raven heard the sound of her breath filling the tiny room. She fumbled in
the blackness and felt Jennifer's arm underneath her. Her breath wasn't the
only one getting heavier.

Jennifer pulled her closer. She's going to kiss me. Raven tried to figure
out what to do when she wasn't leading. Panic. Excitement. She felt a hand
on her back, under her shirt. She jumped a little in surprise. She reached
back and put her own hand on Jennifer's, sandwiching the shirt between.

Raven pushed herself against Jennifer, and hovered her lips over
Jennifer. "Not so fast!" Jennifer grinned at her and pushed her over, then
straddled her. "You think you can just take over. I bet you always take
over"

Damn it, Raven thought. Does it show that much? She struggled a little under
Jennifer's weight and laughed as she realized that she'd have to be forceful
to push her away. Is everyone this heavy? Jennifer was above her, grinning.
Am I in over my head, she asked herself.

Hands on her back again, sliding upward. Smooth skin. Raven shivered. She
wanted this, she thought. So much of her though was rebelling, wanting to
run, run far away and get in control of things again. She tickled Jennifer's
side with her long fingers, and grinned as Jennifer writhed. Our bodies are
so similar. She relaxed a little as she realized she wasn't powerless. She
tickled again and Jennifer deftly caught her arm and pulled it over her
head. Raven felt strong fingers probing around the tough muscles in her
back, seeking over the two long, thick cords of muscle.  She arched her back
to let Jennifer explore and press harder. Hands slid up further, bunching
her shirt up. She felt fingers tracing the solid line of her bra. She liked
the line of it, the secure band wrapping around her chest. She arched a
little more and felt the clasp give.  The elastic security pulled away, and
she felt exposed again. 

She slowly reached up and imitated the same motion. She slid her fingers
along Jennifer's back, and was surprised at how delicate the muscles in her
back were. I guess she's not sleeping on the ground all the time and skating
around town, she thought. She envied the gentleness a little. She gently put
her hands on Jennifer's back, feeling self-conscious of the rough skin. She
slowly massaged upward, finding the same familiar line of bra. Same freakin'
brand. She paused at the strange similarity for a moment, then unclasped the
bra. She pushed it upward, and Jennifer arched. It slipped free of the space
between them with a muffled sound. Jennifer's shirt lifted as she did. She
felt the bare bellies touch, and she shivered, and Jennifer shook with her.
Her skin was warm, dry and smooth. If she closed her eyes, she thought she
could feel Jennifer's pulse matching her own, feeling the separation between
them disappear just a little.

Raven pushed herself upward and shrugged herself out of her shirt. She felt
herself relinquishing any pretense of control. The last piece of protection.
Jennifer surprised her at how fluidly she managed to get the shirt over her
two arms. She shivered a little and crossed her arms over her chest,
self-conscious. Jennifer smiled at her softly.

Jennifer sat up straighter, sitting just so her thighs pressed into Raven's
hips. She pulled her shirt over her head in a fluid motion. Her head nearly
touched the low ceiling of the store room. She shivered, too. Raven smiled,
seeing the effort it took to so confidently take control. Her breasts hung
free above her. Raven was struck by how beautifully proportioned her body
was. She reached up and traced a finger along her collarbones, delicately
sitting behind soft skin. Jennifer grinned and shifted her weight slightly,
pressing the sensitive nerves at Raven's hips, drawing a gasp.

She leaned forward again, her lips hovering above Raven's, hand just to one
side of her head. She let her lips brush Raven's and her breasts just graze
against her.

Raven clasped her hips and pulled her down on top of her, hip bone to hip
bone, thighs pressed close. Bellies touching, the same warmth shared between
them. She wrapped her thighs around her, holding her close and ran her
fingers up Jennifer's bare back.
