Today’s snippet comes from one of my lesbian short stories, First Time, which appears in the Desire Behind Bars anthology. Mel and Ella are cellmates:
Ella’s been with me a week (not that I’m counting) before she asks about it. “You’re not what I expected,” she says, tracing the curve of my bicep with one dainty little finger. She’s seen me—well, she couldn’t miss it, could she, not when we’re banged up together—doing pull-ups on the bunk. Push-ups and sit-ups on the floor. I like the way I look, like how I can hold my own in a fight against anyone. I don’t mind working hard to keep it.
“What do you mean?” I ask her.
“Well… You never…” and instead of finishing that sentence she takes my hand in her little one and places it on her breast.

Hmmm, what was Ella expecting, I wonder. 🙂
Ella… has a tendency to get what she wants. And that’s all I’m saying! 😉
Feel the steam rising!
❤
You can feel the tension in this and Mel’s need to remain strong and maybe in control.
So pleased you said that – yes, that’s Mel in a nutshell. 🙂
Nice snippet. I wonder what Mel’s reaction is going to be.
Heh, no spoilers… ;p
Great snippet. I definitely want to know more about these two. I’ll have to check out this anthology, especially since I recognize a few of the authors.
Thank you! Hope you enjoy it! 😀
Sweet and sensual, with a hint of tension. I wonder what Ella had expected?
I like Mel’s characterization of herself.
