Nothing like a Twilight reference to bring together two gals. June gave her a wink.

“By the way, I’m like not sex repulsed but I don’t really care for it.” Selena’s voice pulled June out of her tumulus thoughts. “Oh.” She let the smile of relief invade her face. Her shoulders dropped. “Me too. I mean, I’m pansexual but like, super anxious about sex?”

They hugged then, overwhelmed and aware of how kissing wasn’t just a step towards more. It filled her veins with just the right amount of energy. Kissing was good and perfect just for them.
