12 Days of Secret Lesbian Desire

The first gift arrived on December thirteenth, twelve days before Christmas, leaned against Daphne’s apartment door in plain brown paper that smelled of cedar and warm skin. She was twenty-two, a brunette office worker with a neat bob, wire-rimmed glasses, and a body she still sometimes hid under cardigans: small, firm 34B breasts, a narrow waist, and a pussy she kept waxed smooth because she liked the clean glide of her own fingers at night. She worked accounts on the fourth floor, and she had never once imagined a secret admirer.

Inside the paper lay black lace panties, cut high on the hip, with a note in a bold hand. Wear these and think of the mouth that wants them off you. Her face went hot. She shut the door, locked it, and stood in her kitchen holding the lace as if it might bite. No signature. No name. Only that promise, and the faint trace of a perfume she almost recognized from the elevator at work.

Across town, Marlene locked her own apartment and smiled at the empty wrapping on her table. She was thirty-two, blonde, confident in the way women become when they have stopped apologizing for wanting, and she kept her own pussy waxed bare for the same private pleasure Daphne did. At the office she was the colleague who brought better coffee and never rushed a joke. Daphne had no idea the notes were hers.

The gifts sharpened by the day. A silk ribbon the color of a bruise, long enough to bind wrists. A bottle of oil that warmed under a palm. On the third night a velvet box held a slim glass toy and a second note: Slide this in slow. Imagine my tongue following it. Daphne read it twice, glasses fogging, then locked herself in the bathroom and did exactly that until her knees shook. She told herself it was only curiosity. She came harder than she had in months, biting the ribbon so she would not say a name she did not have.

On the fourth evening the box held nothing but a photograph of a waxed blonde pussy, glistening, framed by a woman’s hand with a thin gold ring. No face. The note said, This is what has been thinking about your mouth. Daphne’s breath caught. She pressed her thighs together in the hallway and felt herself soak through cotton. Whoever this was knew her building, her hours, the exact shade of hunger she had been pretending not to carry. She slept with the photo under her pillow and woke wet.

On the fifth day the truth arrived with the morning gift, a pale envelope slid under the door before she left for work. The handwriting had not changed. I am a woman. I have watched you tuck your hair behind your ear in the break room and wondered how that mouth would feel on me. If you want this to stop, leave the ribbon on your mat tonight and I will never write again. If you do not, wear the black lace under your skirt and I will know.

Daphne’s stomach turned. A woman. She dropped the note as if it had burned her and stood over the sink, revolted and shaking. She had never wanted a woman. The idea felt wrong in her mouth, slick and foreign, something she had been taught to flinch from. She pictured soft breasts instead of a man’s chest and her skin crawled. She almost put the ribbon out right then.

At the office she could not look at anyone. Marlene passed her desk with a stack of files, thirty-two and easy in a cream blouse, blonde hair pinned up, and said only, “Long morning?” Daphne managed a nod. She did not connect the voice to the notes. She spent the afternoon furious at her own body, because every time she shifted in her chair the lace she had not quite dared to leave at home rubbed her waxed pussy and made her throb.

She did not leave the ribbon out.

The sixth gift was heavier: a jar of honey and a card that said, I want this on your nipples and my tongue cleaning every drop. Shame rose hot, and under it something else, a low pull she hated and could not ignore. She stood in her bedroom with her cardigan off and her glasses on the nightstand and painted a shining line over one small breast. Her nipple tightened. She thought of a woman’s mouth and did not stop. When she came, two fingers buried in her slick, hairless cunt, she whispered, “God,” and heard how much it sounded like yes.

Marlene’s notes grew bolder and more precise. Day seven: a description of how she would kneel, spread Daphne’s thighs, and suck her clit until the younger woman begged. Day eight: a pair of her own panties, already damp, with a line about how she had worn them through a meeting while watching Daphne bite a pen. Daphne held them to her face in the dark and shook. The revulsion had thinned into something she could name. Forbidden. Curious. Wet. She started lingering near Marlene’s desk without knowing why the blonde’s perfume made her pulse jump.

On the ninth night the note finally signed a first initial and a floor. M. Fourth. If you want to see me, come to my apartment after work on the twelfth. No tricks. You can leave whenever you like. I will not touch you unless you ask. Daphne read it until the paper softened. She knew, then, with a clarity that made her sit down hard on the edge of the bed. Marlene. The confident blonde who laughed with her whole throat. A woman. Her colleague. Her admirer.

Shock flickered and died. What remained was hunger she had been feeding for days with her own hand. She touched herself to the thought of Marlene’s waxed pussy in that photograph and came so fast she laughed, breathless and a little afraid of how badly she wanted it.

She went on the twelfth evening, black lace under her coat, heart loud. Marlene opened the door in a silk robe the color of champagne, blonde hair down, thirty-two and steady. “You came,” she said.

“I almost didn’t.” Daphne’s voice shook. “I was disgusted when I found out you were a woman. I need you to know that. And then I wasn’t. I want this. I want you. If you still want me.”

Marlene’s smile was slow and bright. “I have wanted you since the first note. Say stop and I stop. Say more and I will give you everything I wrote.”

“More,” Daphne said, and stepped inside.

They did not rush the undressing. Marlene slid the coat from Daphne’s shoulders and kissed the hinge of her jaw, asking with her eyes before her hands found the buttons of the cardigan. Daphne nodded, glasses slipping, and Marlene set them carefully on a table. The blouse opened. The small 34B breasts rose, nipples already tight, and Marlene groaned like the sight hurt. She peeled the lace panties down Daphne’s legs and went still at the sight of that smooth, waxed pussy, plump and shining.

“Your turn,” Daphne whispered, shocked at her own boldness.

She pushed the robe off Marlene’s shoulders. The older woman’s body was longer, surer, breasts fuller, stomach soft, and between her thighs a waxed blonde pussy as bare and wet as the photograph. Daphne’s mouth watered. They stood skin to skin, breathing, until Marlene took her hand and led her to the bed.

“Sixty-nine,” Marlene said. “I want your mouth while I have mine on you. Yes?”

“Yes.”

They arranged themselves with clumsy hunger that turned sure. Daphne settled over Marlene’s face, knees wide, and lowered her cunt onto that waiting mouth at the same moment she bent and licked a long stripe up Marlene’s slick folds. The taste was salt and heat and woman, nothing like she had feared. Marlene’s tongue pushed inside her, then flattened and dragged up to her clit, and Daphne cried out into the blonde’s pussy. She sucked the swollen bud the way the notes had promised she would be sucked, clumsy at first, then greedy, sealing her lips and pulling. Marlene answered by taking Daphne’s clit between her lips and sucking in slow, devastating pulses.

Sweat gathered at the small of Daphne’s back. She rocked, glasses forgotten on the table, brunette hair sticking to her cheek, and buried her face deeper. She licked into Marlene, tongue fucking that tight, wet entrance, then returned to the clit and sucked until Marlene’s thighs trembled around her ears. Marlene’s hands came up and found Daphne’s breasts where they hung, and her teeth closed gently on one nipple, then the other, biting just hard enough to spark. Daphne moaned into her cunt. The bite traveled straight to her clit. She sucked harder. Marlene bit again, soothed with her tongue, and sucked Daphne’s clit with a filthy, focused rhythm that made the younger woman’s arms shake.

“Don’t stop,” Daphne gasped, the words muffled against wet flesh. “Please, Marlene, don’t stop.”

They devoured each other. The room filled with the sounds of licking, of breath breaking, of skin slipping in sweat. Daphne learned the shape of Marlene’s clit under her tongue and stayed there, sucking, flicking, sealing her mouth and pulling until Marlene’s hips jerked up and smeared slick across her chin. Marlene answered by spreading Daphne with two fingers and licking her open, then sealing back over the clit and sucking as if she meant to drink her. Nipples stung from teeth. Pussies shone. Neither of them pulled away.

When the edge got too sharp, Marlene eased her off with a wet kiss to the inside of her thigh. “I want to feel you against me,” she said, voice wrecked. “Trib. Grind on me. I want to watch you come.”

“Yes. God, yes.”

They shifted. Marlene lay back, breasts heaving, and Daphne climbed over her, straddling one thigh before Marlene guided her higher, pussy to pussy, waxed skin to waxed skin. The first grind dragged a broken sound out of both of them. Slick met slick. Clits caught and slipped and caught again. Daphne braced her hands on Marlene’s ribs and rolled her hips, slow, then harder, chasing the pressure. Sweat ran between her small breasts and dripped onto Marlene’s stomach. Marlene gripped her ass and pulled her down, grinding up to meet every stroke, their cunts smearing together, obscene and perfect.

“Look at you,” Marlene panted. “Riding me. My good girl. Take it.”

Daphne did. She ground in tight circles, then long drags that mashed her clit against Marlene’s, and the pleasure built so fast her vision blurred. Heat coiled low and vicious. She felt herself opening, flooding, the slap of wet skin loud in the room. Marlene’s hands slid up and pinched her nipples, twisting, and Daphne sobbed. She bore down and rubbed harder, chasing it, choosing it, reveling in the filthy slide of another woman’s pussy against her own.

The orgasm hit like a break in a dam. Daphne’s whole body locked, then shattered. She cried out, high and raw, and squirted in hard, pulsing jets across Marlene’s tits and down over her stomach, soaking the waxed blonde pussy still grinding up into her. Clear fluid splashed Marlene’s breasts, ran between them, dripped onto the cunt beneath. Daphne could not stop. She ground through it, squirting again, moaning so loudly the sound scraped her throat, while Marlene held her hips and rode the flood, cursing in pleasure.

“That’s it,” Marlene gasped. “Soak me. Fuck, Daphne, I’m—”

She came with her, back arching, clit throbbing against Daphne’s, a long broken moan tearing out of her as their pussies slipped and slapped in the mess. They kept moving because stopping felt impossible, sweat-slick and shaking, grinding through the aftershocks until Daphne collapsed forward and Marlene caught her, both of them panting, streaked, laughing once in disbelief. Every act had been asked for. Every act had been answered yes.

They lay tangled after, legs hooked, mouths finding each other in soft, unhurried kisses that tasted of pussy and salt. Marlene stroked the damp brunette hair back from Daphne’s face. Daphne traced the gold ring on Marlene’s finger and felt, under the exhaustion, a bright, steady want that no longer frightened her.

“I was revolted,” she said quietly, “and then I couldn’t stop thinking about your mouth. I don’t want this to end when the twelve days do.”

Marlene kissed her temple, her cheek, the corner of her lips. “Then it doesn’t. We keep the secret if you want. We keep each other either way. I am not finished wanting you.”

Daphne smiled against her mouth, already aching in the sweetest way, already sure. She lifted her head, met those steady eyes, and let the question leave her like a promise. “Will you still be my secret on the thirteenth day, and the one after that, until I learn every way to make you come?”
