Bend That Gender

Shannon's Shocking Discovery

Shannon leaned against Marilyn. She was definitely light-headed from her last drink. Marilyn's hand resting on her left hip pulled her closer, a move at once comforting and unsettling. She slid her arm around her new friend's waist, resting her head on the silk covered shoulder next to her. She knew when she visited this bar that she'd encounter gender bending possibilities. Her neighbor Casey mentioned the bar during one of their numerous conversations about love and lust.

Casey worked at Mitchell Brother's as an exotic dancer and knew a lot about the erotic scene in San Francisco. Shannon met Marilyn during her first visit and was relieved to run into her again. Shannon was intrigued by the possibility of making love with another woman but the butch women hitting on her that first visit were certainly not what she had in mind. It wasn't clear to her whether Marilyn was a lesbian or bisexual, but she was in this bar. Of course, there were straight men among the mix of patrons as well, so it was not impossible Marilyn was straight. All Shannon knew was that resting against a woman's breast, smelling a woman's perfume was comforting, regardless of whether it resulted in a sexual liason or not.

"Do you want to get some air?" Marilyn's familiar voice, at once husky and sultry, broke into her reverie.

"That might be a good idea." Her friend turned slowly and began guiding her toward the door leading to the parking lot. The fresh air was instantly reviving as they stepped into the dark evening. Shannon allowed herself to be drawn into Marilyn's embrace as they turned toward one another on the landing overlooking the parking area. The feel of firm breasts against hers, then warm thighs touching her own was surprisingly exciting. She slid her arms around her friend's slender torso and returned the gentle hug. It seemed natural to lift her face to meet Marilyn's gaze and then to accept the lips lightly touching her own, despite the fact they were a woman's lips. The kiss broke and Marilyn whispered.
