The sound of the hairdryer filled the room above the noise of her shower. Anna froze. She stopped touching herself as if she had been caught and quickly turned the shower off. She got ready at double speed and opened the door to find Hayley still using the hairdryer at the mirror. Anna’s eyes dipped to Hayley’s perfectly shaped ass at the sight of her. When she looked back up, Hayley was watching her in the mirror. Their eyes locked.

Anna averted her eyes and joined her at the mirror, blushing that she’d been caught checking her out.

Hayley switched off the hairdryer. The silence that followed was almost loud. “Good shower?”

“Er. Yeah. Feels good to get warm. You?”

“Yeah, good.”

Anna towel dried her hair, avoiding Hayley’s eyes.

Hayley threw her towel over her shoulder. “I think I might head back to the camper.”

“Sure. I’ll just dry my hair and be right over.”

Hayley lingered before she left, as if something was still on her mind. Picking up her bag, she smiled at Anna in the mirror, and they just looked at each other. The look in Hayley’s eyes was soft, cautious and full of want. “See you in a second then.”

After she left, Anna let out a shaky breath. Something was happening between them. She could feel it. She blitzed her hair dry, threw on some moisturiser and haphazardly stuffed her things back into her bag. It was like time was both speeding up and slowing down.

It was quiet on the campsite as she walked back to the campervan. She opened the door not knowing how she was going to handle her feelings for Hayley any more. This love she felt was simply overwhelming. An electric candle glowed from the table. The fairy lights lining the wall were on. Hayley was sitting on the bed as if she had been waiting for her. As soon as Anna closed the door, Hayley crossed the campervan and stood right in front of her.

“What’s all this?”

“This is what I should have done the moment I stepped off that train.”

Hayley came right into Anna’s space. There was such affection in her eyes. She was so close Anna could smell her shampoo and see the dark flecks in her eyes. “What if I kissed you right now?” Hayley’s voice was quiet but direct.

Anna trembled.

“Would you like that?”

Anna let out a shaky breath at the question. She’d felt it coming but hearing it was still a shock. “Yes.” The word was out of her mouth before she could stop it.

Hayley ran soft fingertips over Anna’s cheek. It felt so right. She moved her hands to Anna’s waist and edged closer to Anna’s mouth. “Can I?”

Anna held Hayley’s eyes and nodded. Her bag fell to the floor. There was no fighting this. If Hayley didn’t kiss her soon she might explode.

Hayley brushed her lips against hers, lightly kissing her mouth. The kiss was slow and tender. Soft. Emotional. Hayley moaned quietly when their tongues met. They sank into one another as if kissing each other like this was inevitable. It was.

Kissing Hayley felt so good. How had she gone ten years without these beautiful lips on hers? Anna dug her fingers into Hayley’s back, taken over by pure lust.

Hayley kissed her with more intensity. She pressed Anna into the campervan door, arrestingly taking control. She was all over her, as if finally set free, kissing her hard and running her hands over Anna’s body.

Anna gasped when Hayley touched her breasts and ran her hands over them. A flood of arousal ran through her. She was breathless. She was burning up.

Hayley tilted her mouth away, biting down on her own lower lip, breathing hard. Why was she stopping? Was she not enjoying it?

“Anna.”

“Yes?”

“I know this is crazy and we are friends and all but I just… I feel so strongly about you. I really want you. I hope that’s okay to say?”

“It’s okay to say.”

Hayley kissed her again, deeply. “Fuck. I just want you so much.”

Anna inhaled, as a rush of heat spread through her core. “I want you too.”
