Erin Gayle -- The Unfinished Painting The canvas, once blank as a mind awakening to the dawn of a new tomorrow, now contained an entire cosmos. All the mysteries of a universe, as real as our own, were captured in the brushstrokes of paint; an enigma just as much as its creator, Kaiou Michiru. She stepped back a few paces to review her creation, ignoring the sound of a key being inserted into the lock of the door, the turning of the cylinder and the light squeek of the hinges. A tall woman with short butterscotch colored hair entered and saw Michiru in contemplation. Walking up behind her, she put her hand on Michiru's left shoulder. Michiru, her eyes still fixed on her creation, reached her right hand up and touched the hand which she had caressed so many times before. The hand of her lover, Ten'ou Haruka. "Hello Michi-chan," she whispered softly into Michiru's ear while enjoying the sight of her sea green hair and the touch of her hand. "How was your day?" Her brow wrinkling slightly, Michiru's eyes focused on the center of her painting. "Something is missing." Haruka turned towards Michiru's creation and held Michiru's hand a little tighter as she tried to understand the abstract mystery of it all. "Perhaps its too dark," Haruka offered, "or too cold." "Cold"... Michiru echoed as she reached out a bit with her free hand. Suddenly turning to Haruka and casting a serious gaze deeply into her eyes, to the point where Haruka began to get more than a little nervous, Michru asked "Do you think that I'm too cold?" Taken aback a bit by the question, she managed to blurt out "No, of course not." Michiru looked down and then leaned forward, resting her head on Haruka's chest. Haruka reached back and gave Michiru a light hug; "You're not cold at all," she said in a more at ease, comforting tone. Michiru sniffled slightly and looked up, her watery eyes, like an ocean at high tide, ready to spill over their boundaries. Haruka, understanding, leaned forward and kissed her, silently telling her 'I love you.' The day had been a bit warm and Haruka felt more than a little sticky in her attire and so after she had cheered up Michiru told her that she wanted to take a shower. Michiru gave her a little kiss and, with a slightly mischevious glimmer in her eye told Haruka that she needed one too. A bit of a smile crossed Haruka's lips as she held Michiru's hand and led her to the bathroom. Michiru loved Haruka's body; it was strong and yet elegant, feminine. She delighted in watching Haruka remove each layer of clothing, how more and more was exposed to her eyes, what no one else was allowed to see. For Haruka, this was also an enjoyable experience, watching Michiru's eyes trace over her, painting her body with desires and passions. When she was fully undressed, Haruka began to unclothe Michiru, removing the obstacles between Michiru's body, as beautiful as a mermaid's, and Haruka's eyes which coveted the prize which her garments concealed. Fully naked, enjoying the sight of one another immensely, they entered the shower. Haruka turned on the water, a warm stream covering both of them. Shampooing one another's hair, clumps of foam moved slowly down their bodies, gliding along paths down their backs, along their hips, across their breasts, along their legs. Now clean, Michiru reached over and began to rub Haruka's groin. With her free hand, she turned up the hot water, the vapors beginning to fog up the room's mirror. She began kissing Haruka passionately and Haruka began rubbing Michiru's crotch as well, their fingers rubbing along the length of their lips, making forrays into each other's cunts, pressing circles around their clits. Michiru felt Haruka close to cumming and stopped. Slightly puzzled, Haruka looked at Michiru who smiled and then knelt down and began licking and sucking Haruka's clit. Haruka moaned in pleasure as Michiru tasted Haruka's intoxicating musk. Pulling as much of Haruka into her mouth as she could, Michiru began tickling Haruka's clit with her tongue. Haruka gasped and came hard, her cunt dripping wet. Michiru smiled and looked up. Haruka helped her to her feet and then tongue kissed her, tasting her own cum in Michiru's mouth. Smiling as well, Haruka looked at Michiru and said "Now its my turn." Michiru knew what was going to happen and a shiver of pleasure raced down her. Haruka momentarily left the shower and returned with a doule headed dildo. Michiru knelt down and leaned forward in the doggie position while Haruka eased the penis into herself. Michiru could hear Haruka's moan and anticipated the same pleasure which was soon forthcoming. Haruka eased it into Michiru's cunt, the head disappearing, soon followed by its length. She moaned as she felt it sliding in herself. "Oooohhh; fuck me Haruka, please fuck me." Haruka was more than willing to oblige. Grabbing Michiru's shoulders, she began to thrust in from behind. Haruka took delight from Michiru's moans and cries of pleasure and fucked her even faster, moving her hands and squeezing Michiru's breasts. Soon Michiru was cumming and Haruka knew it; she redoubled her efforts and fucked Michiru until she almost passed out. Finally, Haruka sensed that Michiru was spent. She then helped her to her feet while caressing and kissing her and then escorted her to the bed, where the two dried off and fell asleep in one another's arms. The next morning Haruka awoke to find herself alone in bed. Michiru had gotten up early and as Haruka groggily stumbled out of bed, found her looking at her painting and smiling. Somewhat confused, Haruka looked at it again; there were not very many changes, but there was something distinctly different about it which Haruka couldn't quite describe. With a slightly confused look she turned to Michiru who anticipated her question; "This painting was incomplete before; it was full, but devoid of love, of warmth." Her voice trailed off for a moment; "Of the warmth which we share." Haruka looked into Michiru's eyes and were greeted with a love most people only dream of. They hugged and knew that they would never feel cold or alone as long as they were together. --
