Hunter's Moon (2/4,FF,Sexfight) Hunter's Moon (Part Two) Over the next few days, Evelyn and Diane discovered a growing friendship. They took their lunches together (soup and sandwiches at a quaint place nearby, or the occasional fast-food burger), discussed the goings-on in the small town (did the mayor really have a mistress?), and explored where their tastes met or diverged (Evelyn liked Hemingway, Diane preferred Steinbeck). Of course, the talk did get around to relationships. Over cream of tomato, Diane asked, "So, have you been dating anyone?" Evelyn chewed her chicken sandwich slowly, then swallowed. "Oh, there are a few, here and there. No one steady." Diane asked, "What are the men like around here?" Evelyn said, "Well, you've got the paper mill. Most of the men there marry early. Those that aren't are usually drunk. And you have the university over in Concord. I've dated a few assistant professors. And fended off some roving hands at a few parties. Some of the older men seem to think their marriage is just a minor issue, like hair color." Diane nodded. "I know the type. Adultery is practically coursework over at Berkeley." Evelyn took a sip of tea. "Anyway, I guess I'm just waiting for the right man. I'm not exactly the most exciting woman you can find. I'm quiet, I don't like parties all that much, and my passions tend towards old books and vintage movies." Diane looked at Evelyn. "Don't sell yourself short, dear. You're beautiful, and you have a keen mind." Evelyn blushed, and lowered her eyes. The casual compliment had touched her. "Well...thanks, you're awfully sweet. But look at you! You're fantastic. Your eyes, your skin, not to mention your body... well, you've got a mirror. Haven't any of the local boys launched themselves at you yet?" Diane brushed back a lock of black hair. She said, diffidently, "I guess I'm not quite ready. There's always time to date. Now friends...friends are special." Diane stole an unguarded glance at Evelyn. Evelyn impulsively reached out and squeezed Diane's hand. "Indeed," she said. That weekend, Evelyn invited Diane over to her house to spend the afternoon. They planned to do a bit of antique browsing and hit a garage sale or two. Evelyn anticipated a pleasant day. Saturday dawned clear and cool, but the weather forecast called for increasing cloudiness that afternoon, with an increasing chance of rain. Evelyn frowned a little as she watched the morning news in the compact living room of her bungalow, but she decided that the rain wouldn't really spoil things that much. She busied herself with laundry and straightening the house while waiting for Diane to show. Just at one o' clock, she heard a car door slam outside, then quick steps echoed outside the front door. A brisk three knocks sounded. Evelyn answered the door. Diane stood there dressed in tailored jeans and a long-sleeved red pullover shirt. A couple of buttons were undone at her neck. The beginnings of a slice of cleavage peeked through. Her hand held the neck of a jacket slung across her back. She smiled at Evelyn. Evelyn smiled back. "Come on in, Di. You ready to go spend a few dollars?" Diane came in the house, took a swift glance around. "More than ready, babe. Say, this is a sweet little place." Evelyn looked around. She was clothed in brown corduroy slacks that fit snugly along her pleasantly firm rear end. She had on a deep blue button front blouse that was tucked neatly into the pants. "The operative word is indeed `little'. A bit over a thousand square feet, but it suits me." Diane sat herself down on an overstuffed armchair. "I like little. It makes me feel all cozy and warm. You have it decorated really nicely. I love the Degas prints." "French impressionists. I've always had a weakness for them." "Well, maybe we'll find an original Renoir to go with them today." Evelyn laughed. "My fondest dream." She gathered her car keys from the coffee table. "Shall we?" Diane rose from the chair. "Let's do it." As Evelyn locked the door, she indicated the two-year old Celica resting by Diane's Accord. "I ought to drive. I know a couple of nice places on the other side of the river." Diane said, "By all means." They got in the car and eased down the driveway. Soon they were out of sight. Several hours later, and about a hundred dollars poorer, the car reappeared. The women chatted amiably about the day. Evelyn pulled in the driveway, and they got out. The trunk was opened, and they removed several bags from the car. "Diane, do you want to stay for supper? I've got some stew that's been in a crock-pot most of the day. It should be just about perfect." Diane paused by her car, with two large bags dangling from her hands. She looked at the sky. It was late afternoon, and there was a chill in the air. Low dark clouds were coming in. The rumble in her stomach settled it. "Sold. I just realized I'm starving." She came back with the bags, and both women went into the small house. Diane placed her bags along one wall in the living room while Evelyn went into the old-fashioned kitchen to check the stew. Diane came into the kitchen while Evelyn was testing the stew. She looked up and offered the wooden spoon to the dark-haired woman. Diane leaned forward and smelled the savory mixture. She tasted it. "Marvelous!" "I think it'll do," Evelyn said. "I'm going to stick this french loaf in the oven. In about twenty minutes it should be nice and brown. Think you'll hold out until then?" Diane nodded. "Say, I saw that park over there. I know we've been on our feet all day, but I could use some steady walking to work the kinks out. How about it?" Evelyn said, "Sure. Let me get my jacket." Shortly the two women were ambling briskly in the late afternoon breeze. The sky was almost completely overcast. The smell of rain was in the air. They walked in companionable silence along the nicely manicured park. "Say, what's that over there?" Diane asked, pointing. There was a dark object about thirty feet away. They walked up to it. "It's a football. Some kids must have left it here." Diane picked it up. "You know, I had some brothers who ate, breathed and drank this stuff. I picked it up a little." She grinned at Evelyn. "Go long." "What?" Diane drew her arm back. "Go out there. I'm going to throw you a pass." Evelyn laughed. "All right." She trotted out away from Diane, as the dark-haired beauty let fly with a perfect arcing throw. It landed on the ground about twenty feet from Evelyn. She ran to the ball and picked it up. "Well, you've got the ball. Run with it!" Evelyn yelled. "Where?" "Down here! You have to get past me." She indicated two trees on either side. "This is the goal line. Try to make a touchdown." Evelyn tucked the football under her arm and headed towards Diane. She gathered speed as she saw Diane angling towards her, arms extended. Evelyn broke to her right. Diane shifted course rapidly. The impact was jarring. Diane launched herself at Evelyn, her arms going around Evelyn's waist. The two women found themselves falling to the ground. Evelyn hit the ground on her back, the ball flying out of her fingers. She felt Diane's body slam roughly on top of hers, Diane's breasts sliding along her midsection to hit her own, and Diane's leg fell between hers. There was the rough collision of thigh and crotch, and Evelyn whooped with surprise. She flashed on the moment earlier in the library when Diane squeezed her body past Evelyn's. A moment of frankly sexual heat. Then Diane was scrambling to her feet. She grabbed the football and laughed. "I've got it! I've got it!" She started to run in the opposite direction. Evelyn was instantly competitive. She didn't know where the feeling came from, but she knew that the game was on. She got to her feet and started running after Diane. Moments later, she was just a few feet behind the raven-haired woman. They were both breathing hard and laughing. Evelyn threw herself forward, got her arms around Diane's legs. Diane fell forward, but still hung on to the ball. Evelyn moved forward on her hands and knees and grabbed Diane's shoulders. She got enough leverage to turn Diane around and reached for the ball. She wound up straddling Diane, her thighs around Diane's midsection, gripping tightly. Diane slammed her hips up and down, trying to buck the brown-haired woman off. Evelyn's breasts bounced around underneath her blouse. Finally, the ball was worked loose, and Evelyn grabbed it and ran back the way she came. Now it was Diane's turn to give chase. For the next fifteen minutes, the two women played their game as earnestly as any two teenagers might have done. Their hair got mussed and they rapidly got several grass stains on the pants and shirts. They laughed and giggled as they tackled one another. Beneath the surface joy of the athletic competition, Evelyn was half-aware of the sensuous weight and heft of Diane's body. Their breasts met in conflict during most of their tumbling around, and her entire body was often entwined and pressed against hers. In the heat of the moment, she found herself tackling and being tackled for the body contact. She wanted their breasts to meet and bend. She wanted their crotches to fall together, to rub and grind. In the midst of their rough football game, they found themselves straining for the ball, their arms and legs moving in coarse rhythm. They were panting and sweating. Evelyn felt a drop of rain on the back of her neck. Then another. She stopped moving, and rolled over, staring at the sky. The rain started to fall harder. As if coming out of a dream, the two amateur gridiron heroes rose to their feet. They steadied each other with their arms. The football was dropped and forgotten. Diane shook her head. Drops of rain flew from her hair. "Well, THAT was refreshing. I think I worked up an appetite." Evelyn said softly, "So did I." She shook herself. What had she been feeling? What was going on? She couldn't quite say. Strange, she thought. Very strange. Through the now-pouring rain, the erstwhile warriors found their way back to Evelyn's house.
