This can only escalate.

Before Addie could think of a single word to say, lighting up like a streetlamp, Gwen lets out a huge sigh and relaxes against her seat. "WOO, I feel better! I've been holding onto that for way too long." She beamed at Addie, quickly returning to her peppy, charming self. "I know that was a really bad day for you, but as soon as the bad vibes faded, I've been aching to see it again. I told myself to wait until you were feeling better, but each passing day was knottin' me up!"

Addie mostly processed Gwen's speech as happy noises, not entirely ready for words yet. "You... y-you want my... me.. you want..." Error: Addie.exe is fucking broken.

Gwen giggled softly, not at all surprised by Addie's reaction. "Yeah, I want your you. Is... is that okay?" She tapped the frazzled girl's nose, trying to reboot her.

"But... but Gwen! You've told me, countless times already, that you're... you know, straight."

"Oh, I am." What. "I, like... I only wanna date boys. But I really like dick, and you've got a really big one. I wanna play with it."

Addie's shoulders fell a little as Gwen's desires started to make more sense. "Oh... so, you don't... okay. Yeah, I get it, I think." She just want's Addie's body. What a divisive sensation, being giddy and terrified and disappointed all at the same time. Gwen reached out, gently rubbing Addie's shoulder with an apologetic smile.

"Like I said, Addie, I want to be friends. Stay friends. But there's nothing saying friends can't find each other hot and want to fool around, yeah? I'm not with anyone right now, so don't worry that I'm trying to cheat or something. That's not cool. Of course, if you don't want to, that's 100% okay with me! We can drop it and I won't bug you about it again. Our friendship is more important than my crave for cock."

How Gwen could say such brazen, outlandish things was beyond Addie. And yet, she was simultaneously trying to get into her pants and also protect their friendship. It was not at all how Addie expected any relationship to go, friendly or romantic or otherwise. Everything was in the wrong order! And yet, there was a gorgeous girl a few years older than her who wanted to get her into bed. Gwen was funny and energetic and very, very considerate. What kind of horny virgin, boy or girl, would she be to say no to such a miraculous opportunity? That kind of luck might never cross her path again!

Slowly, the red-faced Addie nodded, wetting her lips and swallowing hard. "...Okay."

"Okay?"

"But... I have no idea where to start."

Gwen exploded into giddy giggles as she caught up with Addie's few words, throwing her seat belt back on. "Well, first, I think we need to go somewhere private. Pretty sure you don't want to strip in my car?" Addie vehemently shook her head, eyes wide at the mere thought. Gwen flashed a bright, crooked smile. "Thought so. We could go to my dorm, but we might get some funny looks if everyone sees me taking a girl home. If you're set on keeping that thing a secret, it might not be a good idea."

"Yes, that's fair... I really don't want to put my secret at risk, thank you."

"I guess that just leaves your place! I'd suggest a hotel room, buuuut maybe not for your first adventure, hm?"

First? Oh boy. Gwen was already implying she'd want to do it more than once, and they hadn't started with the first time. "I hope we don't disturb the neighbors."

"Pssh. They ought to feel blessed to hear the happy noises of a cute young lady. If I'm not breaking any laws and not being a total ass, all's fair to me."

Addie just sat in silence after that, her thoughts bombarded with images of things perhaps to come. It took a lot of willpower to keep her loins down through the drive.

While the two of them moseyed back toward her dinky apartment, something dawned on Addie. Gwen wanted sex, but not a relationship. That's lust. For Gwen to lust after Addie, openly and with now brimming confidence... it was hard to comprehend. Sure, Addie had moments of lust herself, but they were just fantasies in her head. Moments of weakness that she shelved away and tried to ignore. Thinking back to the teachings of her youth, the kind of situation she was now in just didn't line up. That wasn't what lust looked like in her head.

To Addie, lust was a nasty old man preying on naïve young girls. Lust was _taking _something from someone else. Lust was dirty and ugly and violent and… evil. Gwen was none of those things. Gwen was sweet and considerate, constantly reassuring her that their friendship came first well beyond any other desires she might have. Consent. Addie had to admit that shy, fretful side of Gwen was also really adorable. She wasn't just wild gestures and loud proclamations. She had clearly thought this through, and decided she was willing to act on it.

As the car slipped quietly into the parking spot, Gwen took in a slow breath. Turning the car off, she sighed and finally broke the silence.

"Alright, Addie." She sounded nervous again, but more resolute than at the beginning. "Are you positive you're okay with this? With me... being your first?"

Addie’s eyes widened, mouth slightly agape, a fresh wave of blush taking her face. She'd never confirmed that fact. It couldn’t be difficult to tell that Addie was a virgin, even before as a boy, but hearing it aloud… Compared to having her junk on accidental display, it was far easier to give Gwen a nod, confirming her inexperience.

“Is that...bad?”

"Not at all!" Gwen grinned a little, her gestures more subdued. "Just, y'know... if that means something special to you, something you wanna save for an actual girlfriend, I don't wanna take that from you. Y'don't have to just go along with this just because I'm asking and horny." The two shared a coy giggle.

“Thank you, Gwen…”

“Hm? For what?”

Reaching out, Addie took one of Gwen’s hands, holding it close. “You’re just so sweet… I really appreciate that you’re trying so hard to spare my feelings. It’s okay. I understand now.” She gave another sheepish giggle, trying to smile. “You would have saved some time just telling me right off the bat, though. Blowing up my phone with eggplants didn’t tell me a thing.”

Gwen nervously chuckled back, bashful and awkward as ever. “Yeah, weeeelll… ask Charlie, I was a wreck trying to bring this up with you.”

“Oh, I know. I asked him about it a bunch of times, trying to figure out what you wanted. He was always really vague, until today.”

“Haha, yeah, we… we kinda drove him nuts.” Gwen's turn to get all blushy, her eyes focused on their joined hands.

“Yeah, I’m sorry… we should do something nice for him, to apologize.”

“Eh, maybe. Us not middle-manning him might be enough.”

“Aww, no! We should be nice! We could make him cupcakes or something.”

“So…” Gwen started, lightly rubbing her thumb across Addie's knuckles. Can't let the conversation derail too much, or let nerves wind too tight. “What’s your answer? Or do you want time to think about it? That’s okay, too, whatever you need!”

“No, I think… mm, waiting and thinking about it would just make this worse, don’t you?” Gwen’s eyes widened a bit, surprised by Addie’s mature response. You go, girl. “But even so, I, um… I don’t know.” Aaaand it’s gone. “I’m… happy? And nervous and scared and excited and so many things, all at once. And you’re sure we can do this and still be friends?”

“Absolutely! Of course, Addie, I said, being friends comes first. I don’t ever ever want to hurt our friendship, not even a little.”

“Right, okay. But… what if I get nervous and I want to stop?”

“Then we stop.”

“Even if we’ve been doing it for a while?”

“Even then. You say stop, we stop.”

“And… what if I find somebody-”

“Addie.” More hand holding was fine, but when Gwen planted a little peck on Addie’s knuckles, the girl wheezed and whined. So bold! “Anytime. Any. Time. That you want to stop. We stop. I don’t care if it’s never or after the very first time, or even before we get started. You say stop. And we stop. I promise. I mean, you’d do that for me, right? If I changed my mind?”

Addie nodded quickly, practically vibrating after Gwen’s hand-smooch. “Of course! Of course I would, I would never ever do something with you that you didn’t want to! Never!”

Gwen just giggled. “Then you understand, yeah? You’re my buddy, Addie. I’m not gonna risk that. Friends forever. Fuck buddies only maybe!” Addie sputtered at the phrase.

“F-fuuu… what?!”

“Fuck buddies! Buddies who fuck!”

“I think I’ll stick to ‘friends with benefits’ if it’s all the same…” Still didn’t like swearing.

“Does that meeeaaan…?” Gwen leaned in a little, expectantly. All Addie could do at first was nod. Gwen’s features lit up like the morning sun, the girl suppressing a dire need to scream excitedly.

“B-But we have to go slow! I don’t… know anything, so I… I’m still nervous.”

“That’s fine! More than fine! Aww, Addie! We’re going to have fun, I promise! And if not, well… hey, we tried, right? We’ll take it a little step at a time.” Addie’s hands pressed on her cheeks, trying to squeeze the heat away. She whined pitifully, staring at the glove compartment.

“Nnnnn… I-I don’t even know where to start! I never had a girlfriend before, let alone… doing things..!” She still didn’t have a girlfriend, but only because Gwen was skipping steps and leaving some of them out entirely.

“Let’s start with...maybe… getting out of the car?” Looking around, the two blushing young ladies had gotten the windows all steamy with heated dialogue alone. Cracking the windows, Gwen pulled away from her parking spot, letting the cooling late summer air clear things up.

Addie nodded, pushing her door open first. Gwen followed close behind, the two having to giggle at how red they both were, skittering inside the build like two mischievous schoolchildren. It was time to push past the indecision and the double-checking. They'd made their choices, so now was time to act. Up the stairs they went, Addie fumbling nervously with her keys. All two of them.

"Feelin' that drop in blood pressure already?" Gwen teased, lightly bumping into Addie from behind. The timid girl let out a soft yelp, red as a tomato as she glanced back.

"Gwen, shh!" The door finally clicked open and Addie hurried inside to rub her boiling hot cheeks. Gwen strode in behind her with a wide grin. The lock of the door made a loud clack in the quiet of the room, drawing Addie's attention back to her friend. Any words she had died in her throat.

No one had ever looked at Addie like that. Gwen's deep, dark eyes smoldered, a subtle grin showing a thin line of her gleaming white teeth. Curly brown hair was starting to escape from her bun; thin rivulets of darkness across her pale skin. The rumbling purr of a sigh that escaped her chest made Addie's toes tingle. It only took a few steps to close the gap between them, but each one made those wide hips sway out, alluding to the plump rear jiggling in the back. The paralyzed Addie only moved as much as Gwen let her, a single finger making her head crane up to meet her eye to eye.

A velvet whisper slipped past Gwen's pouty lips, threatening to pull the breath from Addie's lungs and the strength in her legs. "Are you ready, baby?"
