“You are the cleverest, bravest woman I have ever known.” Colleen tells her fiancée.
Colleen stands behind Penelope, both women facing a full length mirror in the house they’d move into when married. Penelope feels like a traitor, the woman she has loved for ages is standing there complimenting her, fully in the dark about Penelope’s controversial secret. Maybe her mother was right about her trying to entrap Colleen.
”You make me feel seen in ways I have never been seen before.” Colleens says, a vulnerable look on her face.
Penelope wants to tell Colleen that she’s Lady Whistledown, it would be wrong not to. But there’s a part of her that craves Colleens love so bad that she’s willing to lie to her. The more she thinks about it, the more her anxiety builds up.
“And then there is the way your hair cascades down your shoulders.”
Colleen’s sweet voice catches Penelope’s attention completely this time as she lets Penelope’s red hair down. Colleen brushes her fingers through the curls, admiring Penelope’s reflection.
“The way your eyes shine when you look at me, like two blue pools.” Colleens says meeting Penelope’s eyes in the mirror.
Penelope looks at her reflection, and for a split moment she’s seeing what Colleen is seeing.
“The firmness of your lips parted just so.”
Colleen brushes two soft fingers over her fiancée’s pink bottom lip. The chaos in Penelope’s head slowly turns into a calmness, only Colleen can do that to her.
“The softness of your skin.”
Colleen’s hand travels from Penelope’s face to her shoulder, wanting to feel all of her. Penelope keeps quiet in fear of spoiling this moment. The brunette’s hand keeps moving until she stops.
“And then there are other parts I’ve been…” Colleen pauses, nervous this time, “I’ve been dreaming about.”
Colleen gently places a hand on Penelope’s breast, not yet daring to truly touch it until the redhead firmly presses her own hand against her fiancée’s. Penelope can’t contain herself any longer, in a swift movement she turns to Colleen to kiss her, standing on her toes to reach the taller woman’s lips. The kisses are soft yet desperate, like when you’re hungry for something sweet and you try to enjoy every second when finally getting to eat it.
“You must tell me to stop if you do not wish for this.” Colleen says, pulling away only a few centimetres. Making sure Penelope wants the same thing.
“I do not wish for you to stop.” Penelope says firmly, trying to catch her breath.
The couple continue kissing, Penelope’s anxiety has turned into anticipation. Suddenly, Colleen turns her fiancée to the mirror once again, stepping behind her in the same motion. Penelope feels her pale blue dress loosening around her upper body until it falls to the floor, now wearing only her white corset. Colleen starts untying the silky ribbons on her corset, soft fingers gracing Penelope’s back every now and then. Eventually the corset, too, falls to the floor. The couple look at the reflection in the mirror, the sun rays from a window behind them framing Penelope’s naked body.
“Lie down.” Colleen says after a few seconds, her voice a firm whisper.
Penelope steps over her clothes on the lying floor and walks over to the sofa nearby, sitting down. Meanwhile, Colleen stands in front of her and starts to hurriedly take off her coat and waist coat while looking into her eyes. Penelope tries to savour every second, big smile on her face, but eventually trying to contain herself in fear of making the woman in front of her uncomfortable. Colleen proceeds to take her shirt off, revealing her bare breasts while Penelope’s heart starts racing. Not pausing even a second, the brunette unbuckles her belt and steps out of her trousers, trying to keep eye contact while Penelope lets out a sigh and tries to hide her embarrassment. Confidently, Colleen makes her way over to the sofa, placing herself on top of Penelope who lies down. The both stare into each others eyes for a little while, feeling their bare bodies pressed together like a pair of puzzle pieces.
“You are so beautiful.” Colleen whispers, Penelope answering with a kiss.
“Tell me what to do.” Penelope asks, pulling away slightly.
“I will do everything.”
“No. Tell me” Penelope interrupts her fiancée.
Colleen smiles, a pensive look on her face, answering after a couple of seconds.
“You could… touch me.”
“Where?”
“Anywhere.” Colleens says and Penelope thinks before she places a hand on Colleen’s cheek.
Penelope explores Colleen’s body, touching every part she has longed to touch. Until her hand starts travelling down and Colleen stops her.
“Not there.”
Penelope pulls her hand back immediately, worried that she has hurt her. But Colleen gives her a soft expression, not angry or upset.
“Not yet. I only want to please you at this moment. Is that fine with you?” Colleens says asks.
“I would very much like that.” Penelope’s thoughts calm once again.
“May I?” Colleen asks, barely touching Penelope’s hip.
Penelope nods, completely trusting her fiancée, and feels a hand travelling from her thigh to in between her legs. The redhead shifts her thighs apart, letting Colleen touch her. Colleen responds by dragging two soft fingers over her clit, feeling her wetness. Penelope lets out a slight moan while her head falls back onto the armrest, she rests there for a little while before pulling Colleen into a kiss, savouring the softness of her lips. The shorter woman falls back once again, feeling her fiancées fingers moving faster against her clit in a circular motion.
“Oh, yes.” Penelope lets out, not even thinking, a feeling of complete happiness taking over her.
Penelope pulls Colleen in for yet another kiss, but suddenly Colleen pulls her hand away.
“Why did you stop?”
“Are you ready?” Colleen ignores Penelope’s question.
“Is there more?” Penelope asks, confused but excited, a big smile on her face.
Colleen nods, smiling, and Penelope chuckles. The brunette puts her middle finger in her mouth while looking into the anticipated redhead’s eyes, as her finger slips out she moves it back to the wetness of her fiancée until she slips her finger in. Penelope inhales sharply and lets out a laugh, she hadn’t thought about this being a possibility but she’s glad Colleen did it. As Penelope gets used to the feeling of Colleen inside of her, her breathing calms down.
“All right?” Colleen checks up on Penelope, wanting confirmation on whether she was doing the right thing.
“It’s all right, yes.” Penelope responds, absolutely thinking Colleen is doing the right thing.
Colleen collapses onto Pen, kissing her and feeling her soft moans against her mouth. When Colleen slips a second finger in with ease, Penelope starts moving her hips in the same rhythm of Colleen’s fingers moving in and out of her. Penelope thinks about how her fiancée is hitting just the right spot and it’s like they’re in sync, like they know exactly what to do without talking. Penelope looks as Colleen for a second before she feels a wave of something new and closes her eyes at the surprise. It feels like her whole body is filled with sunlight and she lets out an uncontrollable moan, Colleen smirking at her proudly.
“Was it alright?” Colleen asks, just to get some praise for what she’s done to the other woman.
“It was perfect,” Penelope responds out of breath, affirming her fiancée happily, “Can we do it again?”
“Of course, my love.”
In this moment Penelope has forgotten all about “entrapping” and Lady Whistledown. She can see that Colleen loves her deeply and maybe even unconditionally.
