-------------------------------------------------- Hi, this is Donna Z. Here is a new story about some friendsI knew from college. Val and Joy were good friends of mine, though we came from different towns and states for that matter. This is the latest in my "Hometown Stories" series. As usual, this story is intended for adults, and if you are not 18 or older, or below the legal age for ytour locale, don't read this story. Enjoy. Story elements, F/F. cons, oral, rom -------------------------------------------------- HIDDEN LUST by Donna Z. Joy was a perky, short, and rather athletic girl when I knew her, and she was also a rather active lesbian on campus, in various GLBT clubs as existed at the time. Her new roomy could not have seemed more different. Valerie was a very hard and tough looking girl from some factory town in upstate New York. Tall, physically very strong, and quite shy actually, the two seemed mismatched in all ways imaginable. Joy marveled at Val's very shapely figure that seemed accentuated by her broad shoulders and exceptionally strong arms and legs. Val had sharp, too hard, facial features, and a look that spoke volumes about experience well beyond her years. Joy was a bit worried that they wouldn't have much to talk about, and would more or less tolerate each other until the first opportunity came for one or the other to move out. Yet, there was something about the odd girl from back east who slept in the nude, that Joy really liked, and it wasn't just her body, or anything sexual. Nor was this liking about Val having a vehicle, and being more than willing to give Joy a lift when needed. Val didn't talk very much and when she did, her voice seemed an octave lower than what you might expect from a girl of only 19. But Joy sensed a nervous warmth in the new roommate, and just took it day by day. Joy did her thing, and Val did hers and the two just got on with college daily life, and dorm life without a lot of friction. By about the middle of October, they were on friendly terms, but Val still seemed very shy, almost too shy. So, Joy opened up a little, and so did Val in response. By now Joy had seen Val naked many times, and vice' versa, each time Joy marveled at the strong back, firm muscular buttocks, carefully groomed privates, and the one item Joy really liked, Val's butterfly tattoo on her butt, as well as Val's ample boobs. Val was a big chested, very strong, young woman. Val looked like the typical jeans wearing, hard-case, straight, white, biker "chick." But, the young woman's grades were hardly what one would expect from a hard-case! Val was smart and worked hard at her studies. Many tougher boys tryed to get a date, but Val sent them all packing. She wasn't there to get her "Mrs." degree, and there was little time for fooling around. Most agreed, when Val said no, no meant NO! Val seemed her happiest when she was in the room with Joy. Strange as that may sound, as Val had given Joy no reason to think that she liked her, much less that she wanted to be around her. Yet, Val really liked the affable, and friendly Joy, in spite of all the whispering from other girls in the dorm that Joy was, "a queer." Some of this whispering and gossiping got very ugly, but what Val saw, vs. what she heard, made it clear to her that Joy was about as much a "threat" to her, or anyone else, as the man in the moon. Behind Val's back, the gossip gals called Val a dyke as well, but none of these types had the courage to tell Val to her face. Such was the life in the dorms. One night, on a self-induced dare, Joy sat on her bed edge with her privates fully exposed for her roommate to see. Val looked, and more or less didn't pay much attention to what was for Joy, a shockingly daring come-on, and just continued their pleasant conversation. Yet, Val let her long, man's work shirt that she lounged around in, drift up, exposing her own privates for Joy to see. Val was actually amused by Joy's display, and simply played along, seeing where this little game would lead. It didn't lead anywhere as Joy figured that Val was straight and that was the end of it. But there was much more to Val than met the eye. Val sensed Joy was reaching out, and at a loss for exactly how to do it. So Val took the initiative. "Joy, if you want to mess around, I don't mind, and I'm kinda' flattered." Val said, waiting for Joy's response but not looking too concerned or like she was staring. Joy was left dumbstruck. "How did you know?" Joy asked. Val gave a reassuring, yet sly smile and said, "Ummm, you're all but holding up a sign." Val replied, in a questioning but friendly tone. Joy bounded off the bed and embraced Val warmly. It was Val's turn to be dumbstruck, she hadn't expected Joy's eager embrace. It was obvious that Joy was very happy, but Val sensed that the dorm was not the place for what promised to be a hot encounter. "Joy, hey there, Joy, wait a second." Val said, gently manuvering Joy into a position to where she could look the eager girlfriend in the eyes. Joy thought she was going to hear the dreaded "buts and ifs" a girl sometimes gets when her expectations exceed what is really happening. But her spirits lifted when Val said, "Look, this is not the place for love. We get going here, and who knows what scandal will get spread around. I don't trust many people around this zoo, there's too much gossip, too much snooping, and way too much bullshit for my liking. You I like. So, if we are going to get to be something more than friendly roomies, Joy, we don't want to risk it around here! I have a plan....." The plan was simple. It town, there's a classy motel/hotel with all the amenities anyone could want. Pool, saunas, workout room/spa, great resturant, free breakfast, room service, cable TV and some things the dorm could not provide, namely, quiet, privacy, comfortable beds, and a nearby bathroom that you didn't have to walk down the hall to. There were little refrigerators, and a coffeepot even, in the rooms. The cost for a so-called, "Weekend Vacation," was quite modest considering the accomodations, but it was the quiet season, before the holidays. Val had saved up her money, and Joy was ahead on cash as well. Joy thought about it for a moment, and said, "This sounds neat! Why not? But, I'm kinda' feeling affectionate you might say, right now." While hugging her roomie. "We've waited this long, can you wait one more day? It's Thursday, tomorrow, I have a computer lab, and you have a chem lab. We are both out by 11AM. We come back, pack our bags, and flee this nuthouse and then...he, he, he, we go have some fun. Wanna' come with me, little girl?" Val said, in a mock menacing tone. Joy readily accepted. Val had thought this adventure out in detail. The dorm was noisy, the neighbors on both sides were snoopy snobs, the walls were thin to such an extent that large, thick, heavy, tightly woven Mexican tapestries even would do little to quell the racket from the neighbors. Further, the dorm seemed at times to be filled with goody-goodys of all sorts and types who, to the last one, all seemed to have a life's mission to bedevil everyone within earshot. Joy had had some encounters in the dorms, but the aura was ruined by the fear of discovery and snoops listening or peeking through cracks in the thin partition walls. Literally, even though you could close the doors, the dorms were about as private as an open air amphitheater! Val opened up to Joy a little and the two talked and laughed for quite awhile. Friday promised to be heavenly. Joy was all but quivering in anticipation. She didn't realize it was all Val could do to not come onto her and take her right there, but that was how the night went. Val was a skilled machinist already, at just 19. Her father owned a machine shop and allowed Val, who was fascinated by the machinery to learn how to operate the precision machines. While other girls played with dolls, Val learned how to operate complex automatic equipment. Joy was a typical local girl coping with being lesbian in the midwest of the United States. Fortunately, in this town the lesbian underground was rampant. Joy fell in with a group that was a year younger than Shonda and I. But Joy's experiences mirrored those of most of the girls who did some of the sleep-over routine and played around. Joy had a steady girlfriend, and was at 15, quite out, at least to herself and close friends. Like many other girls, her link to our circle was through Toya or Linda. Joy was quite taken with Linda, and though there was an age difference, the two seemed unusually close, though Linda and Joy both wouldn't talk about it. Toya called Joy "hot," which was a nice compliment, by Toya standards. Beyond that, there was little to discuss. Joy was in her own circle, and age grouping was a strong barrier at times. ----------------------------------------------- Friday: The morning classes could not get over fast enough for either of the young women. 11AM finally came, and both of them all but ran back to the dorm, packed some clothing and swimsuits and fled in Val's little pickup truck. The drive to the city is a roundabout affair from the university. The campus is not in the city, but in the suburbs. Plus, Val had reserved the room at the hotel on the opposite side of the city, not far from the airport, instead of the one nearer to the university that was always packed it seemed. Joy had thought that the weekend would be at the nearer one. But as they drove clear across the city, Val explained the other one was just as good if not better, and actually quite a bit less expensive. Plus it wasn't always loaded with parents, narcs looking for underage drinking parties, and other assorted sundry snoops from the university or the local police department. That made sense to Joy. The pair killed some time before check-in getting some lunch and browsing in a shopping center, just window shopping. When check-in time came, Joy was astonished by the size of the room. This was a luxury suite! Val had gotten the deal of the year on this room it seemed! "How did you swing this!" Joy asked, quite amazed, bewildered by the sliding doors that closed off the bedroom from the rest of the room "Easy, I went shopping and got a deal at a commercial rate, they think we are business people attending a convention here in town, that's kinda'why I asked you to dress nice, but casual, and brought the truck as it has out of state plates, and a commercial registry to a business." Joy replied, smiling. Joy was floored, Val was a genius. No doubt about it. She had considered every angle. Joy asked, "You thought about doing something like this for a long time didn't you?" Val came over and embraced Joy gently and with happy eyes, and a warm smile replied, "I have been waiting for you since the day I met you in August. I have yearned for this moment and planned for it and now we are together. You want to mess around?" Val asked. Joy melted in Val's arms, their lips met, and they fell backwards onto the big comfortable bed. The interlude would last for quite awhile. Val was an excellent kisser, had great fingers, and clearly knew exactly what to do to make another girl very happy indeed! For Joy, pent up desires exploded. She wanted to try anything and everything with Val, and Val was more than willing to go along, but made it clear that she would go as far as Joy wanted, but Joy had better be ready and willing to return all favors! Joy was beside herself with excitement! Val was clearly experienced. The play was slow, gentle and careful at this stage, as Val felt out Joy's patterns of response. Joy writhed as Val expertly licked her honeywell. Val seemed to anticipate Joy's reactions to specific contact, and was a more than willing butt nut, which actually surprised Joy, as there are many women who do not readily engage in butt licking until well into a relationship. Normally, it Joy took a long time to have an orgasm, but today, in the hands of a clearly experienced woman, Joy exploded in a writhing orgasm, among the most intense she had ever experienced. though left gasping from the potent release of desires, Joy wanted much more. Val was more than willing to go along, and the remainder of the afternoon was a garden of delights for the two young women who held back nothing from each other. Finally, completely worn out, the two fell asleep and did not wake up until after 9PM. Joy offered to show Val around the "other" side of town where the local girls went, over by "The Hungry Scribe," and the clubs along the street in the Arsenal district which drew a lively younger crowd. Val was astonished by the scene, which seems to this day, to be so out of character for a medium sized, midwestern, "Bible Belt" city. There is a lively gay scene, and a surprisingly large lesbian and bi female community here. Val had thought this was another up-tight midwest podunk with all the bigotry and twice the hypocrisy. Well, like so many others, Val quickly learned that not all of the farm belt is wearing high button shoes! Somehow the two got back safely to the hotel and literally collapsed into the bed. For Val it had been an amazing night. For Joy, well, she was in love. ----------------------------------------------- Saturday The two slept in until about 10 in the morning, awakening to the sound of a maid knocking on the door. The maid said she would come back later, but going back to bed was out of the question. The half hung-over young women quietly showered and dressed, picked up a bit and went to breakfast, barely saying a word. Life slowly seeped back into their bodies as they drank some coffee and enjoyed a fine breakfast buffet. Within an hour the two were feeling great and wanted to get out a little. Joy drove the little truck around the city showing Val all sorts of shops and sights. The city is a place where everyone for 6 counties around came to shop and have fun, so there is quite a bit to see. It was Val's turn to talk now, Val, like Joy was out early....too early. She fell into fooling around out of curiousity and on a dare from her cousin when she was very young. They kissed and felt each other, and kept it up through the years. Val felt no discomfort at being attracted to girls, and did not suffer any sort of "moral crisis" about her feelings. Val had no "turning point" in her sexual identity, as Val had never considered sex to be that important! Sex was fun, and that was that. By 15 Val had been with an older boy, and it had been a fair experience, but not what she had expected. She tried again, and it was no better a second time. It wasn't for the lack of trying on the boy's part, he was fine, it was just the situation.....it was fun, but different from being with a girl. For Val, well, she didn't see what all the fuss was about. There was no illicit pregnancy, as she had taken every precaution, but that in itself was a worry that Val didn't need, or want at 15. Girls were better at this time. By 16 however, things had changed a little. Val had an exceptionally illicit interlude with an older girl, and she had liked it! Val's affair with this older girl was actually a bit wild and given to taking chancey dares. It didn't last long though, Val found the risk taking far too risky for comfort, but the all-out nature of the sexual play, and the contacts with older women she had gleaned from this relationship would last her throughout high school. Doing well in school, working hard for her father, and being essentially a lesbian plaything for an older woman in her 20's, Val grew up strong, confident, and convinced that she was in the bi catagory, but one who swung far more with girls than boys. Val never felt any discomfort about her lesbian feelings, and though she knew she was a sort of escapist plaything for the older woman, she never felt "used" or "abused," and frankly for Val it had been a warm, intense and rewarding relationship both physically and emotionally. Joy said that all this talk was making her hot, and "would you like to go back and fool around?", in a hopeful voice. Val wanted to go back alright, and fool around for hours and hours! There was little that Val hadn't been through, and what she hadn't done, she had seen in very illicit porn films many times. Val found Joy to be just what she needed right now. That Joy had eagerly returned the butt licking she had recieved on Friday in spite of neither of them taking a shower before playing around told Val that Joy was highly experienced, tuned in, and not squeamish in the least. Val was falling deeply in love with Joy, and it felt good. When you fall in love with another young woman, you can have so much fun just laying side by side, looking into each others eyes, tracing outlines of her mouth, and her features. Kissing becomes a thrill in itself. It is a pity for men, they just don't understand this. Poor men, so driven and urgent, everything so hectic, and in spite of the best will in the world, so limited by their own equipment. The beauty and joy of two women falling in love is equaled by nothing else save your own children, but at the early age of Joy and Val, the drift into deep love was all they needed now. School came first, and having someone to love can make the difference between success and failure. A good lesbian lover will help you through the toil and rigors of undergraduate life. Many might disagree. But, Joy and Val wouldn't. It did go on for hours. The kissing, undressing, the play, the tickling, the loving. Sometimes tender, sometimes urgent. At once heavenly and funky too. The showering up, taking the time to wash each other so thoroughly, and lovingly, drying each other, just admiring your lover's body, her looks, her eyes, her smile. You want to lick her, her tummy, her armpits, her thighs, her buttocks and all that lies between them. You are in love, completely infatuated, utterly taken with this other person. That evening, there was no fancy meal, just a pizza at a little shop in the Arsenal, but it might as well have been a deluxe dinner in a grand, Denver hotel for the two young lovers. Val was the happiest she had ever felt. School was going to be fun. Joy was a dream come true. For once, Val marveled at not feeling like a plaything, or that her love was not going to be returned. Val could feel the love all but radiate from Joy and it felt so good to finally, FINALLY, have a true lover, and not just a "lay." For Joy, walking along, hand in hand with the strong, and taller Val was like walking on air. Being a young lesbian can be a very lonely childhood. In spite of the illicit and forbidden nature of the play, and the thrills that come from them, the young lesbian is often alone even with friends around and supportive parents who say, "you'll grow out of this." If this was lesbian love, Joy NEVER wanted to grow out of it! That night, naked together, surrendering completely. No secrets, nothing held back. Falling asleep together. Joy snuggled up against Val who looked like she was protecting her from the cold. ----------------------------------------------- Sunday The lovers awoke together, filled with happy lusts. There would be one more session before check-out, maybe two. There was time for crazy things, wierd little ideosyncracies you do when you fall so deeply in love. These little oddities seem so out of place, yet are so notable. You see your lover pee, suddenly the stink of another person's 'dump' becomes more tolerable, which for us is strange as we have sharper senses of smell than men do. Things you wouldn't normally think of even, like how her mouth looks as she sips coffee from her cup. The way her fingers hold her toast. Little things. Check-out time does come though, and it is back to the grind of the monkey-house called "the women's dormitory." But it is different now. You have something to hold onto. Joy and Val quietly sulked back into their room, while the rap blared from down the hall, and a local scold grumbled about noise. Their homework was caught up, and the afternoon was nice enough to get out and about. The two lovers ran into Toya, Linda, Shonda and I, and Joy introduced us to Val. Toya was quick to notice the happy sparkle in Joy's eyes and shy reserve of Val. But Toya let it slide, she had something better to talk about. "I'm glad I ran into you guys, we're on our way to look at a house, a real house with lots of rooms that we could rent and set up as an "embassy" of sorts for those of us who need to escape from the 'asylum!' You gotta' admit, the dorms are the pits!" Toya said. Joy and Val seemed hesitant at first, but came along. just for giggles, I think. But when they saw the near-by house and the quiet location, they became more interested. For less than 70 dollars a month, we could as a group, live in this former mansion! There were 6 bedrooms, 3 bathes, 2 kitchens, and enough room that you could get lost in there. When Toya kissed Linda, squeezing her buns, Val quietly asked if Toya and Linda were..."you know..." and Joy nodded and replied, "We're among real friends here." Val lit right up, "I like this, this has promise, are you guys for real about this?" she asked. "Sure are." Toya replied, "we have 5 couples lined up, Shonda and Donna, long standing friends, Moe and Jen, who you might not know, though Joy does, Kelly and Susan, who I think are both in our computer lab, Teri and Sandy, good friends, and Linda and I. We need one more couple to fill the bedrooms, how about it?" Val asked awkwardly, "Are you guys all.." Toya interrupted, "Yes, we are all into girls here, and all want something other than the dorms and the ditzy neighbors! Yes, we want to create a "Chateau Lesbos" here where lovers can find some peace and privacy and be among friends. We are kind of hoping you guys would like to be the 6th couple. Val recoiled a bit from Toya's bluntness. "Ummm..." was all she could get out before I spoke up and said, "You two are a beautiful couple, and we wish you lots of happiness, but please consider our offer, we really would like to have you two join us." Joy and Val talked quietly. Joy convinced Val to go along which was quite easy, as all Val wanted to know is if Joy wanted to do this. If she did, then on with the show, so to say. ----------------------------------------------- Monday Classes went well for Joy and Val, and the housing office was readily willing to waive the one year on campus rule for freshmen as there was a big dorm room waiting list and shortage due to renovations of another women's dorm. Joy and Val were ecstatic! They could escape the dorms and live together as lovers without looking over their shoulders all the time. ----------------------------------------------- Val and Joy counted the days until they could move into the house together. The cacaphony of the dorm became at once more tolerable, yet less tolerable as the time to move drew close. The future was bright for the unlikely lovers from different places and backgrounds. It was the beginning of a 4 year long, torrid love affair, that was an inspiration to all of us. Val is now married with children, but communicates with Joy all the time, they are still exceptionally close, and on occasion see each other. Val's husband is a wonderful man and a good friend. He is very understanding, and does not feel threatened or jealous at all. Val openly calls herself bisexual to this day. Joy has remained lesbian, and "Joy" is a psuedonym for a well known lesbian activist, who I am very proud to call a close friend. More on the fun we had at "Chateau Lesbos" will follow. The End ----------------------------------------------- Hi, this is Donna Z. I hope you liked this latest segment of my "Hometown Stories." This is the first part of a new direction for the series, dealing with our college years. As usual, this story is based on real events, and the names and places have been changed around The story is copywrited to me, please don't steal it. Remember, lesbian play is about the complete celebration of being a woman among women. It is great fun, fairly safe, and quite gratifying. Please don't make it dangerous and unhealthy with unsafe activity. It is our special gift that men will never understand, enjoy it. Bye for now, Donna Z.
