CHAPTER 4: EVERYTHING'S UP FOR GRABS IN SALT LAKE CITY
Melissa's relationship with Antonia develops. John goes into training in Utah.
"Toni, you must be the best pussy-eater I've ever known," remarked Melissa, after another particularly thrilling session. "However did you learn?"
They were enjoying a drink on the balcony of Antonia's spacious apartment on Highgate Hill, looking out on the London lights. There was a slight chill in the air, bringing the colour to their cheeks and sharpening the points of their breasts under their light between-season coats.
"Experience, I guess, and noting the other girl's responses. Actually, I think it all begins with pleasuring yourself. I had a long apprenticeship."
"O yes? where did this all happen?"
"You know I did my A-levels at boarding-school? Well, all the other girls seemed to be only interested in boys. There was quite a lot of girl-sex going on, but it was just practice in between penises. You should have seen some of the pictures they had. I didn't know an erect cock could look quite so beautiful."
"But you weren't interested?"
"Not really. I've tried cock a few times and quite enjoyed it, especially seeing how quickly the guy gets turned on when I touch him. Much too easy, and in the end they don't really know what to do with that thing."
"Men can also learn technique," replied Melissa, thinking of John. Maybe there was room for improvement; still, he had marvellous control. "But let's hear more about yours."
"OK. Of course I had a crush on the gym mistress."
"Go on. I don't believe you. It's so predictable, and you're not."
"That's why I love you, Melissa. You know me."
She put her arms around Melissa's neck and gave her a long, lingering hug. Their bodies felt warm in the embrace and it was clear a second round was not far off.
"No, it was the chemistry teacher. You wouldn't think a woman in lab coat and spectacles would turn a girl on, but you haven't tried it yet."
"Hmm. You can spot the beauty in her cheeks and you can guess the figure under the coat."
"Exactly. And when she leant against me to help with a pipette . . . Anyway, I felt very lonely at night and I would fantasize about her. Of course I knew how to make myself come, but it got better and better the more I fantasized. I would tell stories to myself about how she would invite me to her flat -- you know the kind of thing. I didn't want the stories to end, I would drag them out, playing with myself all the time and finding out what worked best. Wow, I had some orgasms there in my study bedroom. Having to keep quiet intensified it."
"I can imagine! Actually, I am imagining. There you were, in your nightgown, running your fingers all over your tits and your tummy and your clit and your cunt -- "
Antonia's tale had to be continued about half an hour later.
"You know, Melissa, I think you might beat me in a competition."
"You want to choose a judge? Could be fun."
"Let's flag that idea. After a few lame efforts with guys, I had my first woman at art college. She was a bit older, and knew a thing or two. She could see I was eager to please. I would spend hours at a time, licking her. Her excitement would just grow and grow, and I was so damn hot and wet between my legs that I thought I might get dehydrated. Then we would fuck like there was no tomorrow and I would feel wave after wave."
