Second Time Around

Second Time Around

Happy Birthday to Me

Danny turned off the engine and got out of the car. I undid my seat belt and slowly followed her. My legs were stiff from the drive so I stretched them as I walked. Danny had already undone the boot and was hauling our bags out. I took them off her and quickly walked off before she could complain.

My birthday was the next day and Danny had insisted on taking me up to her parent's holiday house in the bush. I hated people making a fuse over me, especially on my birthday, and had protested about going all Thursday. But it was now Friday and here we were.

I waited at the door as Danny fumbled with the keys. I took a minute to look around. The sun was setting so there was minimal light. The only other house I could see was a medium sized dot on the horizon. At least we had privacy. I'm sure I could scream inside and no one would hear me. Cool. Unless I wanted someone to hear me.

Although the one making the noises would probably be Danny and she wouldn't be screaming for help- she tended to be a little noisy in bed - but that's the way I liked it. I grinned.

"You coming in or are you planning on staying out there all night?"

I turned around to find Danny standing in the doorway. I walked past her still carrying the bags and trying to get the grin off my face.

"Where should I put them?"

"The bed room" Danny walked past me and I followed.

The bedroom was nice. It was bigger than ours at home and was mainly occupied with a large king size bed. I placed the bags down at the foot of it.

"Do you want coffee?" Danny was standing in the doorway.

"Yeah. Thanks" I grabbed another jumper from my bag and put it on before heading into the kitchen to find Danny.

I came up behind her and wrapped my arms around her waist. I kissed her neck and breathed in her smell, which was a mixture of shampoo, soap and a little perfume. She smelled good. I rested my head on her shoulder while she made our coffees. Danny had switched the radio on when she had come in and it was now playing quietly in the background. She hummed quietly along with it while she poured the boiling waiter into two mugs.

We stayed there for a moment while we let our coffee sit to cool a little. I moved my hands around to her lower back and started to massage the muscles on either side of her spine with my thumbs. She sighed and moved her neck from one side to the other as she stretched her neck muscles. I rubbed her back before picking up our coffees and heading over to the couch. I knew how lucky I was to have her.

That night after a simple dinner Danny and I sat on the couch and talked while the TV was on quietly in the background. Danny was sitting up with her feet on the coffee table while I was laying down on my side with my head resting in her lap. I was starring at the TV but wasn't paying attention to what was on. Danny was running her fingers through my hair and I was enjoying that. With her spare hand she fiddled with my shirtsleeve and would occasionally stroke my arm.

"We've been going out for nearly nine months" Danny tucked some hair behind my ear.

I smiled "I know" I had been thinking about it the other day.

"Maybe we could go out for dinner or something"

"I would like that" In my last relationship we had never really celebrated any type of anniversary and it would be nice to for a change "Do you have any place in mind?"

Danny thought for a moment "There's a nice seafood place near the water. I've been wanting to take you there for awhile"

"Sounds good" I traced circles around her kneecap with my finger.

There were a few minutes of silence. I wondered if Danny had something on her mind, as she had been a little quieter then usual during the week.

"What are you thinking about?" I continued my circles but on the other knee.

"Nothing"

"Come on, tell me"

She was silent for another minute before she spoke. She stopped stroking my hair "You ever think about having kids?"

I think my heart stopped. Danny must of felt me tense up and started to stoke my hair again "It's nothing really. I was just wondering what your thoughts were on it. Don't worry about it" She tried to change the subject "Amy got a new job at a clinic just out of the city"

I breathed again "What made you ask?" I guessed this was what had been on her mind all week.

"Hmm?"

"About having kids?"

"Oh. I said it was nothing"

"It's not nothing. You brought it up, tell me" I rolled over onto my back so I could look up at her.

She looked down at me "On Monday at the hospital I was talking to a women who had just given birth. She's gay. I met her partner too. I don't know. I always wanted kids when I was younger, but then I realized I was a lesbian and I never really gave it another thought. I guess I kind of ruled it out, but I suppose it's still a possibility"

"So you want kids?"

She played with a lock of my hair "Yeah. Not now, but some day"

I thought. I had always wanted kids too, but like Danny had said, not for another few years. I tried to imagine Danny pregnant. I always thought there was something awfully sexy about a pregnant women, especially one that would be carrying your child. I smiled.

"What about you?"

I looked back up at Danny. She looked kind of worried, most likely about what I would say. She had her hand across my stomach and I put my hand on top of hers. I didn't really know what to say. "I would like to start a family one day too. With you"

Danny smiled "Really?"

I nodded "I'd like a son, I think"

Danny kissed my forehead "I was worried how you'd react"

I moved some hair out of her face "Well, you had me worried too. For a split second I thought you could be pregnant, until I remembered I wasn't I guy and couldn't do that to you"

Danny's smile grew "Well, the strap on doesn't have in built sperm so I think you might have a hard time even if you did try"

The next morning I awoke to the feeling of Danny's lips on the back of my neck. She was lying on top of me.

"Happy birthday, baby" She whispered in my ear before nibbling it.

"Hmph" I made some sort of noise into the bed

Danny sat up so she was straddling me and started to massage my back "You got to wake up if you still want to go on that walk"

I had forgotten all about that. I had told Danny that I wanted to go on a bush walk on a near by trail. I had looked at some maps and found a place were we could stop for lunch, which was by a creek. The track circled around so we would end back near where we had started.

Danny got off me and I sat up. I crawl over to her and kissed her lips before quickly dropping my head to her naked breast and sucking on a nipple.

"Ashley, we have to get ready" She always called me by my full name when she was trying to be serious. I felt her breathing quicken slightly.

I gave the other one a quick suck before sliding off the bed and opening the curtains. The sun was up and looked like it was going to be a beautiful day. After locating my bag, which Danny had moved, I pulled out some underwear, cargo shorts and a t-shirt and put them on. I turned around to see Danny pulling a shirt over her head.

We both had a quick breakfast and made some lunch to take with us. I swung the daypack onto my bad, put on my hat and met Danny at the door. After all my complaining about coming up here, I was actually really looking forward to our walk and the rest of the day.

It was currently spring and the winter chill had been replaced by fresh air and sunlight. Leaves crunched and twigs snapped as we walked. I enjoyed hiking - although I wouldn't really call this a hike. I usually went on a four-day hike twice a year with a group of friends, although this year was an exception. It wasn't because I was tied up by being with Danny, but for once I didn't feel the need to get away and was really enjoying being with her when I could.

The air smelled fresh, with a strong hint of Eucalyptus and bark. I could hear a number of different birds calling, both near by and in the distance. To my right I heard a Kookaburra. A few minutes later there was a response from behind as its laugh echoed out around us. Danny and I were silent as we walked, with both of us just taking in our surroundings. It sure was a good change from our usual busy cities and suburban lifestyle.

After nearly two hours of walking we came to the creek. Danny sat down on a rock as I went over to take a closer looker. I washed my hands and face in it before walking back over to Danny and taking a seat on another rock. I took of the pack and got out some water. After having a sip I passed the bottle to Danny.

"Thanks" She took a sip and put the bottle down at her feet. I watched her wipe the sweat off her forehead and then wipe her hand on her shorts. The last half over of the walk had been up hill slightly and with the sun, we had both worked up a bit of a sweat.

"You ready for lunch?"

Danny nodded. I stood and kick a few gum-nuts out of the way before spreading out a light picnic rug. I threw the pack down on it and took a seat on one side of it before Danny wondered over and joined me. We ate as we talked about Danny's work at the hospital.

We got back to the house around 4 in the afternoon. By that time the air was starting to cool as the sun got lower in the sky. We both stripped off and showered together with each of us taking up the task of washing the other.

Shortly after we had finished in the shower Danny started on dinner. I had offered to help but she refused and pushed me out of the kitchen and told me that she didn't want to see me in there until dinner was ready. Something about me being the birthday girl. I went to the couch and read my book.

Dinner was beautiful. Danny was an awesome cook, especially in contrast to my cooking abilities. I put my knife and fork on my plate and looked across at her as she took her last mouthful. Her eyes met mine and she smiled before taking a sip of her wine.

"I got you a present"

I stopped, about to take a sip form my glass "I thought I told you I didn't want anything"

Danny nodded "I know, but I didn't listen. It's just something small. I couldn't not get my girlfriend something for her birthday"

"Yeah you could of"

Danny moved her chair closer to me. She held out her hand. In it was a silver bracelet. I watched as she took my hand in hers and then put it on my wrist. A smile grew on my face as I looked down at it.

"I wasn't really sure what to get you, but I knew you like silver, so."

"Thanks" I kissed her "I really like it"

I knelt down in front of the fireplace and examined it for a moment.

"Do you know what you're doing?"

I turned around to see Danny smiling. She placed two glasses of red wine on the coffee table and then sat down on the couch.

"Yes. As a matter of fact I do" I turned back around and continued at my task of stacking the wood.

"Oh, cute and multi-skilled" she teased.

I pushed a fire lighter between two bits of wood "Yes. Aren't you lucky" I looked across at her before lighting a match. The white cube burst into blue flames as it started to burn.

I sat there for a while as I watched the fire slowly spread to the other pieces of wood. I then got up and joined Danny on the couch. She moved, about to put her feet on the floor but I stop her and put her legs across my lap. I leant over to pick up my wine.

"Thanks for lighting the fire" Danny rested her head on the back of the couch as she looked at me. She took a sip from her wine.

"Thanks for dinner. I really enjoyed it" I ran my hand over a leg that was in my lap. Her skin was smooth after she shaved earlier that day. There was a few moments of silence.

"How's that project going that you're working on?" Danny was referring to a short film that I was making with a small group of people. In the past couple of weeks I had done a few all nighters in the studio editing with another guy.

I started to massage her foot "It's alright" I took another sip from my wine "We got good coverage so it's been pretty easy to put together. The audio is time consuming though. I might actually be happy with it" I was pretty fussy. I had written and directed it and was determined to get it how I wanted it.

"When can I see it?" She ran the tips of her fingers along my cheek

I thought, "When it's finished"

"So you'll actually let me see this one?"

I paused. I had done one earlier on in the year and had refused to let her see it. I guess I had to get used to it sooner or later. Though later was sounding better. She stroked my cheek again. There went my will "Sure. I'll let you see it"

Danny smiled "Thanks" She sipped her wine "So that's what you want to do when you finish uni?"

I nodded "I don't know if it'll ever happen, but if I could do anything it would be directing. I know some people" I had some wine "we can team up and form our own crew" I started to massage her other foot "Though I'll probably have to get a proper job so I can pay the bills. Maybe dreams are just dreams"

"I can pay them"

That shocked me. "Sweetie, it wouldn't be fair to let you support me"

"I'm offering," I went to speak but Danny cut in "And when you're films start to earn a bit of money you can pay your part of the bills again if you're that worried about it"

I looked at her "We'll see"

I sighed quietly and looked over at the fire, which was now burning well. I smiled at my handiwork before diverting my attention back to Danny's legs which where still in my lap. I ran my hand up her leg from her foot to her knee and then started to stroke the bottom of her thigh. I liked Danny in skirts. Well, she looked good in anything, but I liked being able to see her legs. Hmm, she had nice legs. And.

"What are you smiling at?" Danny turned her head so she could look at my face. She had a grin on hers.

"Um" I continued to stroke her thigh "Nothing"

Danny took my now empty glass off me and placed it, along with hers, on the table. She then straddled me and placed her hands on either side of my face.

"I don't believe you when you say 'nothing'" she kissed my lips lightly.

I grinned and chuckled softly "Well, you'd be correct in thinking that" I ran my hands over her thighs that were now on either side of mine "I was just thinking how sexy you are"

"Really" Danny kissed me again.

"Ah huh" I lightly placed a row of kisses along her neck. I felt Danny's breathing quicken slightly.

"Ashley?"

"Hmm?" I rested my head on her chest where I could hear her heart beating. Da dum. Da dum. Her hands started to stroke my head.

"I love you"

Da dum. Da dum. Da dum "I love you too, Danielle"

I started to move to kiss her when my mobile rang.

"Sorry, I thought I'd turned it off"

"It's alright. Get it"

I stood and found it in my jacket pocket. I flipped it open.

"Hello?"

"Ash, where are you?"

"Hey Mark. I'm in the bush"

"What? Like camping?"

"No. Danny and I are spending the weekend at her parent's holiday place. It was sort of a last minute thing, sorry I didn't let you know"

"That's cool. Tried your place a couple of times but got no answer. Was going to drag you out and have a few birthday drinks with you"

Danny walked over to me and started to unbutton my shirt as she kissed my neck and ear.

"Ah. Yeah" I slowly breathed out "Maybe next weekend then"

My shirt was now hanging open and Danny had moved to my jeans, which were now on their way to falling to the floor.

"Ok. Cool. So how are things anyway? We haven't spoken for awhile"

"I'm good. Quite well" Danny ran her hand over my stomach and headed towards the bedroom. I followed "How have you been?"

"Oh I'm good! I met this guy last week and we spent the day together. I think you'd like him."

I sat down on the bed and watch Danny strip.

".maybe the four of us could go out to dinner some time soon or something"

"Sounds good" Danny walked over to me and straddled me again, but this time I had her naked breasts in front of me "Mark. Listen. I. Really have to go"

"Oh. Ok. Is everything ok?"

Danny brushed her nipple over my lower lip "Everything's good" I squeaked, "Talk to you later bye" I shut off the phone and tossed it somewhere as I took her nipple lightly between my teeth.

"Sorry to interrupt" Danny purred in my ear

I let go of her nipple "You can interrupt anytime if that's what you call this" I rolled her other nipple between my lips while my hands found her ass and started to squeeze it.

Danny brought her hands around my back and unhooked my bra before slipping it and my shirt off my shoulders. I ran my hands along her thighs and then up her sides to her breasts. I squeezed them lightly.

"You make me so happy" I said it quietly and didn't think Danny would hear.

"You talking to me or my breasts?"

I kissed a nipple "You're breasts" I smiled and tried hard not to laugh

"Hey!" Danny slapped my arm and pushed me back on the bed "You're in trouble for that"

I giggled as her lips founds a ticklish spot on my stomach "Oi" I laughed and rolled us over so that I was on top "I'm glad we came up here. I've had a good time today with you" I sucked on her nipple for a moment "Thank you. I haven't had this much fun on my birthday for a while" I attacked her other nipple.

"Mmm" Danny stroked my back "I've had a good time too. Ah. What do you usually do on your birthday?"

I released her nipple "Last year Mark and I played drunken cricket in the middle of the street at night. We almost got arrested"

Danny laughed, "You didn't?"

"Yeah. We had to run from the cops"

"I don't think I trust you with him" Danny rolled us over. She was on top.

"I can understand that. I don't trust myself either when I'm around him and there's alcohol involved"

Danny tugged my panties off. I went to roll us over again so I could be on top but Danny pinned my arms down on the bed. I looked down at her to see her lips hovering above my nipple. She smiled as she made eye contact with me. I could feel her breath on my breast and moved my hand with the intended destination being the back of her head. She grabbed my wrist and pushed my arm back down on the bed.

"You're so impatient" she teased and moved her lips a little closer to my nipple.

"Well you're making things very difficult for me, sweetie" I squirmed a little underneath her. I hated waiting. Danny knew this.

She moved her lips away from my nipple and I let out a breath in frustration. She started to lightly kiss along my breastbone and then around the sides of my breasts.

My nipples were hard and I could feel myself getting a little wet.

After what seemed like a lifetime Danny's lips finally made contact with my erect nipple, softly at first before her tongue took over. My hand explored her naked back as I enjoyed the sensation of her bites, licks and sucks on my nipples and breasts.

With her knee Danny pushed my thighs apart and slipped her leg between mine.

Slowly she made a trail of kisses down my stomach and across both thighs. I let out a shaky breath as her wet tongue started to circle my clit. I looked down to she her head between my thighs - I sight that I loved to see.

"Mmm" I moaned as her tongue found my hole "Baby, move around so I can taste you too"

Danny looked up at me for a split second before moving into a 69 position. I wrapped my hands around her thigh and ass and pulled her onto my face. She let out a soft moan as my tongue found her clit.

Five minutes later I could feel the first waves of an orgasm run through my body. Danny too was close as I felt the muscles in her ass and thighs contract. Danny moaned into my pussy as her orgasm hit her. The vibrations from her moans also sent me over the edge as she continued to suck on my clit. I squeezed her ass as I arched my back.

With my finger I wiped a drop of Danny's juices from my chin and put it in my mouth. I kissed and nibbled her ass cheeks before resting my head back on the bed. Danny rested her forehead on my thighs as she caught her breath. I put an arm under my head and caressed her ass, lower back and thighs with my spare hand. After a moment Danny changed positions and rested her head on my chest. I wrapped my arms around her and hugged her tightly as I kissed the top of her head. Her fingers slowly stroked my arm as we both drifted off to sleep.

I opened my eyes, unaware of what had woken me. I lay still for a second before a bang came from the front door. I untangled myself from Danny's body before jumping out of bed.

"Sweetie, you better put some clothes on"

I looked down at my naked body. Quickly I threw on my boxers, jeans and a tank top as I ran to the door. I opened it to see two young children about to walk away.

"Hey" I smiled at them. I must have looked awful.

"Hi" said the smaller of the two. I guessed her to be around six "We're selling eggs. They're fresh. We got them this morning form our chocks" She fiddled with the handle of the basket.

"Hang on a sec, I gotta get some cash" I disappeared from the door for a few seconds as I got my wallet.

After getting some eggs I sat them on the kitchen bench on my way back into the bed room. Danny poked her out from under the covers as I entered. The room smelt strongly of sex, which brought back memories of what we had done the night before. Danny stretched her arms before moving her displaced hair out of her face.

"Morning" I leant down to kiss her.

I went to stand back up but Danny pulled my head back down and gave me another kiss, this time it lasted for longer and was a little wetter. She then hooked her finger in one of my belt loops and pulled me down on top of her. We continued to kiss for a few more minutes.

"You feel like eggs for breakfast?" I brushed a lock of hair out of her eyes

Danny nodded "We have eggs?"

I smiled "Yep. You hungry?"

"Starved"

"Good me too" I kissed her again "I'll go cook them then" I rolled off the bed and stood up.

"Wait, I'll help" Danny slipped out from under the covers. She was still naked.

I watched her pull out her bathrobe and put it on "Have I ever told you how sexy you are?" I asked as I walked up behind her. I stood at her back and ran a hand over her warm stomach as I kissed her neck.

"A few times" Danny tilted her head to the side to give me better access to her neck. "I thought you said you're starving?" She tied her robe, kissed me on the lips and then walked out of the room. I followed as I tied my hair back.

In the kitchen I cracked open some eggs and beat them before putting them in the pan. Danny popped some toast in as I did the eggs.

"What do you want to drink?" Danny whacked me on the ass as she passed on the way to the fridge.

"Coke"

"You can't have that for breakfast"

"OJ"

"That's better" She took the orange juice from the fridge and poured us a drink.
