Her hand slipped between her legs and underneath her short sheer skirt. They were moist as usual. It was a familiar feeling whenever Lauren was around. Molly tried not to be obvious as she watched Lauren make her way around the room, greeting everyone with her usual coy smile.

“Hey Molly, close your mouth you’re starting to drool,” joked Cassie from across the table.

Her voice snapped Molly back to reality. She quickly pulled her hand away from her already moist panties and picked up her hand of cards.

“Don’t be silly Cassie,” she tried to sound calm. “I learned my lesson long ago, Lauren only cares about one person and that’s herself.”

Cassie rolled her eyes and dismissed her comment. She was Molly’s best friend and she knew her too well by now to believe she meant what she’d said.

“Gin!” Cassie exclaimed as she laid her cards on the table.

“What? Oh, I guess you win again.”

Molly’s voice trailed off in Lauren’s direction.

“Well, it’s not hard when you’re playing against half a person.”

Molly looked down embarrassed and got up. She knew she hadn’t been concentrating the whole night. Molly hated herself for coming to this party knowing that the fact that Lauren was going to be there would make her act crazy. She had only herself to blame for having a bad time.

“I’m sorry Cassie. It was a mistake coming here.”

Molly felt as if the room was getting smaller. She was feeling lightheaded.

Cassie shook her head and began to clean up the mess on the table. She just knew she would be picking up the pieces later and was looking forward to it. It could be her opportunity to let Cassie know how she really felt about her.

“Well if you want to make a quick getaway you better go now,” she leaned closer to Molly’s side of the table and lowered her voice, “cause here she comes.”

Molly’s heart stopped. If she left now it would be obvious that she was avoiding her. Molly grabbed the back of the dining room chair to steady herself.

“Hi ladies,” Lauren said in her usual sultry voice.

“Hi,” said Cassie.

Molly looked up at Lauren, her body instantly responding to hers. Molly didn’t know what it was about Lauren that made her so weak in the knees. She had always been her perfect ideal of what a lesbian should be. She was neither butch nor femme; she was the perfect mix of both, with a body to die for.

Cassie never saw what Molly liked so much about Lauren, to her she was just a big phony. Then again to Cassie, Molly could do no wrong.

“You’re looking good,” Lauren said in Molly’s direction.

“Thanks,” she said, “but if you’ll excuse me I have to run to the powder room.”

Molly left the two ladies and hurried upstairs to the master bedroom. She needed to get away from all the noise. Upstairs she went straight into the bathroom and locked herself in. She went over to the sink and washed her face, the cool water helped ease the burning passion she was feeling. Molly sat down on the edge of the garden tub. She hated the way Lauren got her so aroused just by being near to her. Her heart was still racing from having been so close to her.

Molly spread her legs apart and pulled up her skirt to reveal her soaked panties. She thought of the way Lauren was so casually dressed tonight in a pair of tight fitting jeans and
