Brianna 3 Months Later Bella was panting heavily, sweat on her brow, and her body trembling slightly. Katerina was straddling her hips with her hands pinning Bella's wrists above her head, and breathing just has heavily. They stared at each other for a few moments. "How was that?" Bella asked once her breathing was somewhat under control. "It was pretty good, but you can do better," Katerina replied. Bella lightly hit her head on the mat beneath her. "Damn it. I can't get it right," she growled in frustration. "Relax, Bella. It's only been three months. It took me years to get to where I am and that was with practicing for four hours every day. Be patient," Katerina replied as she stood up, helping her girlfriend up as she did so. "Let's take a small break, clear your head, and then we'll try again." The two girls walked over to a bench and downed some water from their water bottles. It's been about three months since Bella's birthday and the couple have been growing closer and closer as the weeks passed. Bella still hadn't told her mom, but she was beginning to think that Diane suspected something. Bella had caught her staring at the two of them whenever Katerina came over for dinner or when they were watching a movie with Bella's mother; it was as if she were observing them and trying to hide it. Bella also had no plans on coming out in high school, at least, not to anyone outside of her circle of friends. She normally didn't care about what others thought about her, but she's seen how cruel teenagers can be to homosexuals in high school and she wanted to avoid such torment. Katerina was very understanding and never pressured her to come out until she was ready. The seventeen year old watched her girlfriend out of the corner of her eye and felt the now very familiar feeling of lust rising up in her. Katerina was slightly sweaty and she was wearing tight black sweats that hugged her curves perfectly. Her black tank top clung to her torso in all the right places. She watched a bead of sweat slowly make its way down her neck and in between her breasts beneath her top. Things have heated up in physical department between the two girls. Several make out sessions have become much more steamy and intense since they first started out. Bella has been scared to take things any further; further being able to touch Katerina intimately. Every time she tried, she backed out at the last second. Katerina had noticed some frustration with Bella and wanted to help her, but she also wanted Bella to move forward when she was ready. She never wanted to pressure Bella, but it had started to take its toll on her. The nineteen year old like to think that she had total control over her body, but when it came to Bella, she was so close to losing it when they were physical. Her libido demanded she take things into her own hands, but she wanted to move at Bella's pace. Katerina took a deep breath to control the moisture that had started to grow in her nether regions. She turned to her girlfriend with a smile. "Ready to go again, sport?" she teased. She had learned that the younger girl disliked the nickname and looked extremely beautiful when she scowled every time she heard it. Katerina saw Bella's brow furrow with an almost glare. Katerina winked and quickly pecked Bella's lips to stop her protest, then jumped up to start again. Katerina and Diane had been very serious on Bella's birthday about starting martial arts classes. The nineteen year old had tried to refuse Diane's money, but the woman insisted. So, Bella was taking self defense classes at a reduced rate, at Katerina's persistence, three times a week from Katerina. Bella couldn't see how much progressed she had made, but Katerina was adamant when she told her girlfriend she was doing as well as to be expected, which was true. After every lesson, Katerina and Bella would go out on a date whether it was going to the zoo or seeing a movie or taking long walks in the park near Katerina's apartment. They're relationship was going extremely well. Bella knew that she could very easily fall in love with Katerina and was well on her way. After the lesson that day, the couple decided to head over to Katerina's apartment to watch a movie and eat dinner. Tonight's movie was Shawn of the Dead. Both have seen Dawn of the Dead and loved that one, so the comedy version was a lot of fun to watch. Bella and Katerina loved watching movies at home together. It allowed them to just be together and not worry about Bella's mom suddenly appearing when if they were making out or cuddling. Currently, after each had showered to get rid of their work out sweat (Bella had clothes at Katerina's apartment for just that reason), Bella and Katerina were lying on the couch in the living room with Katerina slightly sitting up against the arm rest and Bella lying between her legs against her chest. Katerina had her arms wrapped around the younger girl as she held her close. She loved nothing more than then to hold the girl in her arms for hours on end, inhaling her intoxicating scent. Both were so comfortable, they doubt even an earthquake could make them move. The couple laughed and giggled throughout the movie. When it was over, they both stood up and went to the kitchen to start making dinner. Katerina had also been teaching Bella how to cook and that night, they decided to make lasagna. Bella loved cooking with Katerina. It was fun and educational, but she also felt so comfortable and at home when she was doing something so domestic with her girlfriend. Sometimes, she would picture the two of them several years later in a home in the suburbs with a few kids, still cooking dinner together. It was at these times when Katerina would ask her what she was smiling about. Bella would give her a secret smile, softly kiss her lips, but didn't answer. One of the things that Bella and Katerina loved most about their relationship was that they never ran out of things to talk about. They could talk for hours and hours about anything and everything. But they were also comfortable to just sit in silence without any pressure to speak; content with just being in each other's presence. "Want to pop in another movie? It's the weekend, so I don't have to be home until later," Bella suggested once they had finished doing the dishes from dinner. "Sure, sounds great. You can go pick out one. I'll finish these up," Katerina replied with a smile. Bella dried her hands, then went to the living room to choose from the hundreds of movies that Katerina had stored in the coat closet, which only had three coats (two for Katerina, one for Bella). The younger girl looked through her choices, wondering what she felt like watching. She smiled mischievously when she saw Freddy vs. Jason. Horror! Perfectly cuddle friendly movie she thought as she pulled it out. She looked at the back. It looked gruesome, but she would put up with disgusting images in order to get as close to Katerina as possible. Not that she needed an excuse, but it was nice to feel safe in her girlfriend's arms. She put the movie in and sat down just as Katerina came into the living room. "What did you put in?" she asked, sitting down next to the younger girl. "You'll see." After an hour into the movie, Bella was pretty much lying on top of Katerina, her face hidden in the crook of the nineteen year olds neck. Katerina held the girl and rubbed her back in an attempt to sooth her. She tried hard not to laugh as she heard her girlfriend squeak in fear when she saw a scary part. "Why did you pick this movie when you know you're easily afraid of horror films?" Katerina asked after a particularly gruesome part. "I don't know," came Bella's muffled reply since she was, once again, hidden in the crook of Katerina's neck. The older girl chuckled at her girlfriend's antics. "Well, I do know of something that can take my mind off of the evil, scary killers," Bella whispered as she traced Katerina's ear with her lips, barely touching the skin. Katerina shivered. "Really? And what would that be?" she asked as she tried to remember how to breathe properly. "It's better if I show you," Bella whispered before she started sucking and nibbling on Katerina's ear lobe. The dark haired girl moaned in approval. "That—that works really...well," she whispered. She found it hard to put her thoughts into words as her mind spun. Bella absolutely loved the taste of her girlfriend's skin. It was a drug that she easily became addicted to and always tried to get her fix as often as she could. She moved down slightly as she started to lap at Katerina's neck with her tongue and grazing her teeth against her pulse point, which was racing. Katerina's hands had found their way underneath Bella's shirt so that she was rubbing the deliciously soft skin of Bella's back. She gently dug her fingernails into the skin whenever Bella hit a particularly sweet spot and moaned when she felt her teeth against her pulse. She wanted so much to touch Bella more intimately, but was afraid that Bella would get upset. However, after three months of waiting and warring with her hormones, that night they finally won the battle. Katerina slowly moved her right hand up Bella's bare side, gently tracing her ribs when she felt them. She felt and heard Bella's breath hitch slightly, but she never stopped kissing her neck. When she didn't hear or feel her girlfriend try to stop her, Katerina moved forward. She nearly gasped when she felt the bottom of Bella's bra and the swell of her breast. Waiting only a few more seconds to give Bella a chance to stop her, Katerina moved her hand up. She cupped the bra encased breast and gently massaged and squeezed it. Bella gasped and her breathing became ragged as Katerina lovingly caressed her. When Bella pulled away from Katerina's neck, the older girl began lightly kissing and sucking her girlfriend's ear lobe, which made Bella moan quietly. Katerina traced the lines in Bella's neck, across her throat and up her neck. She eventually made her way to her lips and they kissed passionately and hungrily. Bella's mind was spinning and her body was in overdrive. She's never felt so aroused in her whole life nor has she felt so good at the hands of someone else. She used one hand to affectionately grabbed Katerina's neck to pull her into a deeper kiss, while the other hand slowly rubbed up and down Katerina's body. She really wanted to take off the older girl's shirt so she could feel the smooth skin she knew was waiting beneath it, but, instead, she pushed her hand underneath the raven haired girl's shirt. She marveled at the smoothness and softness of Katerina. She wanted to taste every inch of skin on her beautiful body. Katerina felt Bella's hand on her bare skin and shuddered. She's never been so attracted to someone; no one has ever been able to make her feel this way before. She continued to massage her girlfriend's breast, but she wanted more. Her hormones were greedy that night and they demanded skin on skin contact. She decided to take a chance as her hand gently made its way underneath the bothersome bra. Thank God Bella hates wired bras. This makes it a lot easier Katerina thought dimly in the back of her mind. Bella felt her eyes slightly roll in the back of her head when she felt Katerina cup her breast without a bra hindering her. She moaned into Katerina's mouth. When she felt Katerina slightly tease her quick hardening nipple, Bella pulled away gasping for air. She looked into Katerina's eyes and saw lust, need, and love. Bella was barely aware of her actions. She was sitting up and pulled Katerina with her. At first, Katerina thought she had gone too far and was worried that Bella was upset. Those thoughts were soon dismissed once Bella attacked her lips with renewed vigor. She was nipping at her bottom lip with her teeth, forcing Katerina's lips open for her tongue to push through. The older girl moaned at the sudden aggressiveness Bella showed. Bella straddled Katerina's hips and imbedded her fingers into the older girl's hair. She pulled her close as she kissed her with passion that Katerina hadn't seen before. Bella ground her hips into Katerina's, who moaned as fire spread throughout her whole body. She slid both hands up Bella's shirt to begin caressing her breasts again, only a bit more aggressively than before. Bella was nearly delirious with arousal. She only just had enough self control to not take Katerina completely right then and there. She was about to make a move towards Katerina's breasts herself when there was a knock on the door. "No," Katerina whispered. Her head fell back against the couch and her eyes were squeezed shut, clearly distraught. The knocker rapped the door again. "You should get that," Bella said as she moved off of her girlfriend. She took several deep breaths and Katerina walked to the door, muttering angrily. She opened it to find her elderly neighbor Eileen smiling at her. "Hello, dear," she said. "Eileen. Hi," Katerina greeted. "I'm sorry if I'm interrupting something, but I've seem to have misplaced my key to my apartment and I need to call the locksmith," the older woman said. "Yeah, sure. No problem. The phone is straight through the kitchen. I'll get the phonebook for you," Katerina said, allowing the woman to come into her apartment. "Oh, you have company. I'm sorry to bother you," Eileen said, seeing Bella on the couch, watching the end of the movie. She turned the TV and stood to introduce herself. "Hello, ma'am. My name is Bella. How are you doing?" Bella asked, smiling politely. "Nice to meet you, dear. My name is Eileen, Katerina's old and forgetful neighbor," the woman replied, smiling as she shook her hand. "It's no bother that you're here, Eileen," Katerina said. "You're such a sweetheart, Katerina. Well, I won't be too long. Don't let me get in the way," the woman said, taking the phonebook Katerina gave her with the number marked. "Take your time," the nineteen year old said. Eileen went into the kitchen. "I should get going, Kat," Bella said. "You sure? I mean, you can stay if you want," Katerina suggested. "No, my mom will be wondering where I am soon, plus I have some homework to finish. I'll call you tomorrow, okay?" "All right," Katerina said reluctantly. Bella put her shoes on and grabbed her jacket. "Bye, baby," Bella said with a quick, chaste kiss on her girlfriend's lips. "Bye." Bella started to leave, but Katerina grabbed her hand before she could make it out the door. "Look, I'm sorry if I went too far...you know, back there," Katerina whispered. Bella smiled softly and raised her hand to stroke Katerina's cheek. "You did nothing wrong. I promise, I am anything but upset about that," the younger girl replied. Katerina beamed. "Good. Have a good night, Bella." "You too, Kat." One more soft kiss and Bella left Katerina alone with her elderly neighbor. Author's Note: I am sorry! that it took so long. I hate that I made you guys wait. However, I think I will be updating much quicker, so yay! I liked this chapter, although it's not my favorite. I've done a lot of explaining in the past chapters and not so much physical moments between Bella and Katerina. Coming up soon: some drama happens at Bella's school and she does something that has severe consequences at school, home, and with Katerina. Don't know for sure if they will be in the next chapter, but they will happen over the next few ones. Hope all is well and sorry again for the wait.
