Autumn Leaves

Marie's hand cut through the fast-moving air. She watched the skin rippling as the air moved over it. She placed her other hand on Jessica's, fingers interlacing atop the shifter.

The treeline on the horizon was studded with red, when she first saw them as a child she thought the red trees were fires burning in the woodland. The ones that turned first always seemed more vibrant as if they burnt brightest and fastest.

She turned up the stereo as November Rain started to play. Jessica squeezed Marie's fingers and pushed forward into fifth gear racing towards the trees.

The trees lining the roads all seemed to be reluctant, green with hints of yellow, but deeper the reds and oranges hid, revealing themselves in flashes as the car sped past.

Don't Cry was reaching its climax as Jessica pulled the car over, “You up for the walk?”

Marie tipped out a white tablet, she swallowed it without water and swung the car door open, “We didn't come all this way to sit in the car.”

Jessica fussed with Marie's coat, making sure it was fastened, then put on the backpack and picked up the hamper. She gave the walking pole to Marie before linking arms.

They walked slowly, Jessica laden with equipment but Marie's breathing laboured. They walked in contented silence, listening to the crunching fallen leaves.

The tree in the middle of the clearing was a brighter red than any they had passed. Jessica helped Marie sit against the trunk. “Are you sure this is the right place?” The clearing seemed smaller.

“You think I'd forget where we lost our virginity?” Jessica set the equipment down.

“That was at your house, with that pink toy.”

“That's such a male way of defining virginity. Here was the first time we orgasmed.” Jessica unrolled a large picnic blanket.

“That was on the school trip.” Marie enjoyed playing teasing Jessica.

Jessica sighed, “That was mutual masturbation, with us pretending to be fantasising about that teacher, whilst actually fantasising about each other.”

“How dare you! My feelings for Mr. Hopkins were genuine!” Marie's mocked outrage couldn't be contained and she burst out laughing, they were both laughing as Jessica helped Marie up to move onto the blanket.

Laughing turned to coughing for Marie, as her body decided to ruin the moment. She curled onto her side waiting for the coughing to subside. Jessica pressed against her, nestling her chin in the crook of Marie's neck.

The coughing subsided, Jessica's chest pressed tightly against Marie's back. Their breathing synchronized. “We didn't drive 5 hours to spoon beneath a tree.” Marie rolled onto her back.

“You're right, let's go to the cabin and take a nice bath.” Jessica began to rise.

“How about we get dirty first?” Marie pulled Jessica back down. “But you will need to do the heavy lifting.”

“Nothing new there.” Jessica kissed Marie, gentle and tender, Jessica not wanting to hurt her.

Jessica's hand went to Marie's trousers, unbuttoning them and pushing them down her legs. She slowly moved down, unzipping Marie's coat with her teeth as she shuffled down the picnic blanket. Beneath the coat was a short blouse leaving skin exposed from navel to lace panties.

Using teeth she dragged the black lace down, her nose dragging against skin and then pushing through short brown hairs. With enough of Marie exposed, Jessica nuzzled between her thighs, fingers dragging panties the rest of the way down.

Marie moaned with pleasure as the tip of Jessica's tongue pushed between flesh to find her moistened nub. The tongue circled, swirling around in search of further moans. She pushed thighs apart giving her tongue greater access, her tongue running up over the hardened pearl, the tip flicking as she moved from it.

Pushing down harder, the tip of Jessica's tongue reached the wet opening. As her tongue slid slowly up she pushed two fingers inside. Marie squirmed as fingers moved deeper and the tongue made its way up. The tongue flicked and fingers reached their full depth, Marie shivered with excitement.

Marie unbuttoned her blouse, revealing the lace bra that matched the discarded panties. She yanked the lace down exposing her breasts to the crisp air, her hard nipples pointing towards the red leaves above them.

Jessica moved up, her mouth leaving a trail of kisses before engulfing a nipple. With her one hand sandwiched between their bodies, she used her other to wriggle her sweats and panties down her thighs. She pressed against Marie, her hand pressed between their heat.

“Hmmm, going old-school.” Marie moaned as she felt the pressure of Jessica pushing inside her.

Jessica released the nipple and completed her journey up Marie's body. She pressed her own body against her hand, fingers parting to surround her clitoris. “Do you remember what you named this?”

Marie grinned at the memory, “Grinding knuckles.” she panted, “I came up with the best names while high.” She struggled to talk and breath.

Jessica pulled back releasing the pressure, “Are you OK?”

Marie grabbed Jessica's naked ass and pulled her back against her. “Grind hard...” She sucked a lung full of air, “… I'm close.”

Jessica's lips pressed against Marie's, their tongues entwined as their bodies undulated together. Jessica's breathing soon matched Marie's, her fingers pushing and wriggling exciting both of them.

Marie pushed Jessica's shoulder up, breaking the kiss. She screamed as orgasm tore through her body. Leaves above shook from the cry, a handful drifting down around them.

Jessica rolled off, retrieving her soaked hand, her body trembling. They lay beside each other on the picnic blanket looking up at the crimson foliage, the clear blue sky visible through cracks. They lay half-naked in silence, until the sky darkened, enjoying nature and each other's presence.
