Adrienne's Duet Pt. 04

"No, I don't mind. I'll tell you anything you want to know, 'A'. I lost it in high school, Senior year. I thought he was cute and nice, and felt that I was ready. He used a condom, and it hurt, and I wasn't sure I wanted to do that for a while. But there was nothing romantic about it either. Which is why we're so good together. I feel that everything we do is just so full of love and caring. It's not just about the sex with us."

"No, you're right. I feel there's so much more going on with us. Though the sex is good, too!" she added with a laugh. Juliet agreed. "I'm with you, 'A'. And you?"

"Freshman year of college. He was in my composition class. Trumpet player. I thought he was cute and nice, too. We did it at his place, after a concert, and he used a condom. But what I remembered is him pulling out of me and lying next to me, all tuckered out, and I'm lying there thinking, 'is it over?' Anyway, that was my first, and my only. Since then, it's mostly been hand jobs, if anything at all. But it's like you said, there was no romance to it. I figured, one day I'll meet someone and it will be romantic, and the sex will really mean something."

There was a moment of silence, before she added. "And then I met you."

~*~*~*~*

During the next few nights, the girls made love, and it was a week of many 'firsts'. It was their first time trying to orally pleasure each other in a sixty-nine, with Adrienne insisting that she try it both ways. And Adrienne really surprised Juliet by attempting oral in the shower for the first time with Juliet pressed against the tiled wall. And so, they learned how to be better lovers for each other, and to have fun while doing it.

The eve of Adrienne's recital, Juliet and Adrienne cuddled in Juliet's bed. Tomorrow was a huge day for Adrienne and Juliet knew Adrienne was having difficulty relaxing and falling asleep. Juliet read the situation perfectly, and knew that her friend just needed the gentlest of loving, and a nice cum.

"Tomorrow's your big day. So, you just relax, and I'm going to take care of you."

"Okay," Adrienne smiled shyly.

"But first, we need to get you out of these." Juliet took off her own bra and panties and then removed Adrienne's t-shirt and panties, too. There was simply no way she'd pass up the chance to be naked with her friend, especially while administering a massage.

"Let me start with your back." Juliet suggested. And so, Adrienne rolled onto her stomach. Juliet squeezed skin lotion onto her palm and began rubbing it into Adrienne's body. She worked the cream into Adrienne's neck, and shoulders and back, applying sufficient pressure to loosen up any knots. She then did her arms and her legs as well as her sexy bare ass, really working those glutes over, and making sure to plant delicate kisses all over the area.

Adrienne thought she'd died and gone to heaven. She just kept sighing and moaning as Juliet's fingers worked their magic. No one had ever massaged her in so loving a fashion, and the affection she was receiving from Juliet made her love her friend even more.

"Roll over, baby," Juliet whispered, when she was satisfied that she'd given enough attention to Adrienne's backside. Adrienne rolled over onto her back, and Juliet took a moment to admire her girlfriend's body. She leaned over and whispered, "You are so damn sexy," while gently trailing her fingers along the soft flesh between Adrienne's legs.

Adrienne hummed an unrecognizable tune. "Just relax and enjoy," Juliet said softly, as she moved up next to Adrienne's head and began massaging the area around her eyes and temples, and then her jaw, while showering those areas with kisses as well. She adjusted her position to focus on Adrienne's talented hands and fingers. Moving on to Adrienne's torso, Juliet massaged her breasts, and then teased her by gently sucking on her nipples. Under her expert ministrations, the nipples swelled and stiffened. She released a nipple with a plop, and smiled. Her massage was going very well.

She backed off a bit from her sexual teasing, and applied cream to her girlfriend's hips and thighs, being careful to steer clear of her pussy, which she could tell was moist and open. Of course, what her friend didn't know was her plan to introduce her dildo into the action.

Juliet eased Adrienne's legs wider apart and knelt between them. Leaning forward, she extended her tongue and as delicately as possible, ran it up her girlfriend's moist lips. This elicited another long sigh and a slight arch of the hips. Juliet giggled.

For the next minute or so, Juliet patiently applied gentle tongue licks to her girlfriend's sex. She could smell her girlfriend's arousal, as her teasing had Adrienne craving more contact.

"Don't worry," she calmly instructed her partner from between her legs. "I'll get you there. I just need to do something first."

"What?" Adrienne asked.

"Never you mind, just relax."

She reached under her pillow and retrieved her dildo. She applied some lubricant to its end, and a little more down the smooth synthetic shaft. Getting back between Adrienne's legs, she lightly ran the phallic tip between her girlfriend's inner petals. At its touch, Adrienne squeaked, her body recoiling at the sensation of something unfamiliar.

"Relax, and enjoy," she heard Juliet's calming voice. With that, Juliet slowly inserted the shaft into Adrienne's vagina.

"Mmmm," Adrienne hummed as the smooth object went deeper. Adrienne's passage was snug, but the thin, slick dildo penetrated with barely any resistance at all.

Juliet then began to slowly ease the toy in and out, moving it barely a couple of inches each way, and rotating it as she did this. Adrienne's body responded, her hips rising up and down in a steady rhythm. Juliet maintained a steady pace until Adrienne's frustrated moans let her know she needed more. Juliet complied.

"Oh yes, oh yes," Adrienne repeated softly, as Juliet increased the pace. "Mmmmm," Adrienne hummed.

Juliet smiled. "You going to come for me, baby?" she asked, in a breathy, sensual voice, as she patiently kept at it with the dildo.

Adrienne could only groan in reply. This went on a little longer, until, sensing the time was right, Juliet placed her fingers lightly on Adrienne's clitoral hood and began massaging it, gently and at a slow pace at first, hoping to heighten her pleasure.

"Oh yeah, keep doing that."

Juliet was very pleased with her approach, so far. "You want it faster? Like this?" Juliet whispered, rubbing faster and just a little harder, back and forth across the fleshy hood.

"Oh yeah," Adrienne groaned, her hips rocking faster now. Some fluid was beginning to flow, and Juliet removed the dildo and focused all her attention on vigorously masturbating her girlfriend's clit, which was still protected by its fleshy hood of skin.

"Yes, Yes!" Adrienne called out as she started to peak. "Faster...Going to cum..."

Juliet's fingers were whisking over the top of her girlfriend's clit, and when the orgasm overtook her friend, Juliet stopped rubbing and watched with fascination as Adrienne's body shook and shuddered, her legs writhing on the bed. She could see fluid running out of her and down her butt to soak into their bed sheet.

It took a while, but as Adrienne gradually recovered, Juliet set the dildo aside and stretched out next to her lover. "There. You'll have no trouble sleeping now," she said softly into Adrienne's ear.

"That was so good," Adrienne sighed, as she turned her head and looked up at Juliet with a dreamy smile. Juliet bent down and kissed her gently on the mouth. She then pulled the covers up and around them, and soon the two lovers had drifted off to sleep.

~*~*~*~*~*

The next morning, Adrienne woke charged and ready to go. The girls ate breakfast with Caroline, and then busied themselves about the house for a bit. Juliet had to attend a theatre history class at nine, and a law class right after. She decided to take a cab to campus. Before she left, she showed Adrienne how to apply concealer to cover up the bruise on her cheek, which wasn't nearly as bad as it had been. The plan was to meet Adrienne's mom and her dad outside the small concert hall that afternoon.

However, first, Juliet had a couple of errands to run.

After Juliet left, Adrienne practiced for a half hour, then went out for a run. When she got back, she hopped in the shower and started the process of getting ready for her concert. As she showered, she couldn't stop smiling as she remembered her night with Juliet, and how incredibly giving her girlfriend had been. She'd made Adrienne feel truly cherished. Adrienne was impressed with her girlfriend's openness. By Juliet's own admission, lesbian sex was new to her, and yet she seemed fully on board with it. "Little minx even bought us toys," Adrienne marveled.

The plan was to do her makeup and hair at home, and then dress at the theatre. Two hours before she was scheduled to go on, she loaded her cello, music, toiletry bag, concert dress and shoes into her car, and headed out. She was nervous, tapping her fingers in time on the steering wheel. She was always a bit energized before she played, which was good. A teacher once told her, "Don't think of it as being nervous. Think of it as being excited to perform." And she was excited. She trusted her material, her performing partner, her instrument, and most of all, herself.

When Adrienne arrived at the concert hall, she headed for one of the dressing rooms that she and Nadia had been assigned to warm up in. When she entered the room, there on the counter was a beautiful bouquet of flowers. She went over to the bouquet to see who they were for, and saw written on the card, the letter 'A'. She broke into a broad grin as she opened the card and read:

Dearest Adrienne,

So grateful you're in my life. I've never known anyone as wonderful as you.

I know you'll do well.

Love, Juliet.

The note made her eyes tear up.

"Nice flowers," Nadia exclaimed, having entered the room unnoticed by Adrienne who was still engrossed, reading Juliet's card. "Who sent them?"

"They're from Juliet," Adrienne replied proudly.

Nadia nodded approvingly. "That's great. I like her, Adrienne."

"So do I, thanks," she said, her face a glowing pink.

"You ready?" Nadia asked.

"Yeah. You?"

"Totally. Let's do this."

By the time Juliet arrived in the lobby, it was buzzing with the noise of people. Sometimes, student recitals were sparsely attended, but Nadia had a pretty large following, and word had gotten around that they would be performing the Beethoven. There also were some members of the local symphony there, thanks to Adrienne's cello teacher.

"Hey Dad, Miss Sokol! Over here," Juliet called out with a wave. Her father had swung by the house to pick up Adrienne's mom, and Juliet did wonder if he was interested in dating her. Seemed a bit soon to her, but it wasn't her place to say. Both her father and Adrienne's mother had dressed up for the event. Her dad had on a tie, and Caroline wore a blouse and long skirt.

"Shall we go in?" her father inquired of the group.

"Adrienne said she'd reserve three seats for us down near the front," Juliet said, her excitement ratcheting up. The three of them made their way into the hall and down the aisle toward the stage.

Eventually, the hall filled with people, and the lights in the house dimmed. Mr. Drexel walked out onto the stage to introduce the program and say a few words about Adrienne. His praise made Juliet's heart swell with pride. Then, after a few house announcements, Mr. Drexel departed the stage, and the two young women, elegantly attired, walked onstage to friendly cheers and applause.

Juliet was glad that she was familiar with the program because that allowed her to relax and reacquaint herself with the tunes. She was particularly looking forward to hearing Adrienne play the Bach suite and the Russian pieces. She liked the other pieces too, but when it was just Adrienne playing, Juliet could focus her attention on her.

Perhaps it was the excitement of having a larger audience, or the plush venue, or the fact that Juliet knew and loved the cellist, but whatever the reason, it felt as if the performance was even more wonderful than when she first heard it in the rehearsal room. The sound in the concert hall was vibrant and yet intimate, too, and the music seemed so much more alive. Juliet found herself slipping deeper into the tapestry of sound than she had before.

When the final notes of the Britten faded into the air, the crowd responded with a standing ovation. Juliet glanced around to watch people cheering. She saw the look of immense pride on Caroline Sokol's face, and even her father seemed pleased.

Flowers were brought out onstage for both of the girls, and when Adrienne took hers, she looked right down front to where Juliet, Juliet's dad and her mom were seated. The smile on Adrienne's face could have launched a thousand ships.

After the concert, Juliet and Ted and Caroline waited in the lobby for Adrienne to appear. Adrienne had said that she might try and speak with the Symphony board member before joining her group. When she did appear, she was positively glowing. She ran over to first hug her mom, and then Juliet.

"Thank you so much for the flowers," she happily told her girlfriend, while hugging her neck.

"Well, I had no idea you'd get more of them," Juliet replied in a feigned pout.

"Yes, but yours are from you, and they came with a lovely card."

"Ready girls?" Mr. Langford asked. And they made their way for the restaurant to celebrate.

As they walked out to the car, the chatter was non-stop, with Adrienne going on about how good she felt during the performance, and about some mistake she made that nobody noticed. "Did you connect with that guy from the symphony board?" Juliet asked.

"Yes, he came backstage. He said he loved the program, and was very impressed with my playing," she stated rather cockily. "He also wants me to send him a copy of the performance so he can show it to some of his colleagues."

"Oh, Adrienne, I'm so proud of you," her mother exclaimed.

"Way to go, 'A', Juliet chimed in. "What do you think, Dad?" Juliet asked her father to engage him in the conversation. Juliet didn't often get to hang out with her father, and being with him at a concert given by her girlfriend seemed too precious to let slip by.

He nodded thoughtfully. "He'd be foolish not to audition her. If I were looking for young talent to hire, Adrienne would be at the top of my list."

The women were impressed by his comment, and Juliet elbowed her girlfriend.

Adrienne demurred. "Well, there are lots of talented cellists out there, and the competition is pretty stiff. I'll be grateful for any chance I get to try out."

Juliet leaned in closer and spoke in a soft voice that the others couldn't hear. "You just need me to take care of you before your audition," she giggled conspiratorially.

"I'm all for that," Adrienne replied with a playful body nudge.

During dinner, Mr. Langford spoke about an upcoming business trip he was taking to Holland, adding that later in the summer he was looking at renting a house on Grand Manan island for a couple of weeks. "It's a place I used to summer as a kid. I thought it would be fun to revisit the island. There are whale watching trips, lighthouses, and nice shops and beaches. I thought the girls would like that. And you'd be welcome to come too, Caroline, if you're able to get off work."

"I would love that. I've never been to Grand Manan. I'm sure I could arrange a week off, if I have enough advance notice."

"I'll make sure you do. Would love to have you." As the girls suspected, Ted Langford was making his interests known to Adrienne's mom. And she didn't seem that put off by the attention, either.

After dinner, as the four of them savored the last of the wine, Juliet set a small black box on the table in front of Adrienne. "What's that?" she asked, giving Juliet a suspicious look.

"Open it," Juliet gestured, a look of anticipation on her face.

Adrienne looked around the table, wondering who else was in on this. When she took the lid off the box, poised inside were two silver and black bands. "They're beautiful. Are these for me?" she asked confused, wondering why she'd get two.

Juliet smirked. "Well, one of them is. The other one is for me," she explained, reaching down and picking up one of the rings. "Here, give me your hand."

Adrienne offered Juliet her right hand, and Juliet slipped the ring onto the third finger. It fit perfectly.

"And now, put on mine," Juliet said to Adrienne, while extending her right hand. Adrienne took out the remaining ring and slipped it onto Juliet's right hand.

"BFF's forever," Juliet proclaimed.

~*~*~*~*

That evening, the girls snuggled together in bed without their tops on, while still in their panties. They were kissing lazily, as neither of them was particularly up for vigorous sex. The concert, followed by the food and wine had them feeling a bit drowsy.

"I just love my friendship ring," Adrienne said, holding her hand up to admire the ring. "Every time I see it on my hand, I'll think of us."

"That's why I got them. I know our future is uncertain, but I do want to try and keep what we have going."

"Me too," Adrienne concurred, pleased that Juliet wanted a long-term relationship. "Today was such an amazing day. I was so glad you were there to support me. And I loved your flowers, and I love our rings, and I love the way you take care of me in bed..." she giggled. "...and I love our toys...and the dinners out... But you don't have to do all those things for me. I'll love you, even without the gifts."

"You love me?" Juliet asked, not quite sure she'd heard right.

Adrienne leaned in and planted a long, sensuous kiss on Juliet's mouth. At the same time, she traced her fingers around Juliet's breast. When they broke the wet kiss, saliva trailed between them.

"Yeah," Adrienne nodded, dreamily.

"When did you first know you loved me?" Juliet prodded her friend.

Adrienne thought for a minute. "I definitely started crushing on you after I saw you as Cecily in 'Earnest.' You were so gorgeous. And, this is no lie; I actually fantasized that I was on stage with you, playing the part of Algernon."

"Oh Adrienne, you'd make a wonderful Algy, in a starched collared shirt and tie, and a jacket and vest. You'd be so hot!"

Adrienne continued. "But I know the exact moment when I started to fall in love with you. I don't know if you remember, but during opening night curtain call, I stood to take my bow and looked up and saw you staring down at me. You patted your heart, and I knew that's where I wanted to be."

"I remember that moment," Juliet said, nodding as she recalled it.

"When did you know you were into me?" Adrienne asked.

"Well, I liked you from the very start, that's for sure. I could tell that Mr. Drexel and several of the other players were excited that you were coming to play the Duet with me. And I thought, 'Who is this incredible person?' And then I saw you and thought that you looked pretty hot."

"Really?"

"Yes, really. And there was this energy and look about you that fascinated me. Drew me right in. But I definitely lost my heart to you the day my brother and I attended your rehearsal. Everything about you that day was sizzling. It was intense for me. Remember when I mentioned your hair falling down?"

"Yeah."

"I swear, that pesky strand of hair did me in," Juliet proclaimed, placing her hand to her forehead with a dramatic sigh. "But I'll try not to overwhelm you anymore with gifts. Though it makes me happy. My god, Adrienne, my family has more money than it knows what to do with it. When I started college, Dad opened a bank account for me and put fifty thousand dollars in it! The only reason I didn't buy a car is that it's easier to take Uber. But now I have someone I really care about to do things for, and I honestly can't think of any better purpose for that money than spending it on you. And when I see you happy, then I'm happy too, and so I'm doing it for us. And I'm glad you like the sex toys, because there's one more on the way."
