An Acute Ache

A young, married woman, Sloane has experienced conflicting emotions, the love of her husband, and her desire to experience the touch of another woman. Not wanting to hurt her husband or even to leave him, she searched the ads in alternative newspapers and found a likely partner for her obsession. She meets Chloe an Asian American her own age. The experience made an impression on Sloane; she ached for another woman.

The thrill of being with another woman, tormented Sloane and she hastily searched online for another partner to soothe her ache. She met Ravyn who promised to take her in hand just as Chloe had. Ravyn's ideas of domination were diametrically opposed to the Asian girls. While Chloe saw her as a student needing instruction about the lesbian lifestyle, Ravyn saw her as a toy to be used and abused. Sloane was not anyone's toy.

The encounter with Ravyn ended being satisfying to Sloane in a way she never dreamed about. Though she left Ravyn with the aches, Sloane hoped to get back with Chloe. Unfortunately, Chloe had gone on a two-week European vacation with her father. She learned this from Chloe's house mate Blaire, when she called for Chloe. While they talked Sloane invited Blaire over for a swim and some wine. Sloane could already feel the ache.
