The sensation was pleasant, the other woman's strong fingers both dexterous and confident. And, Felice let her eyes drift closed while the soft stroking continued.<br/><br/>"Mmmm," she murmured appreciatively, "Just make sure you don't get into any trouble! But thank you, Gerdi, that does make me feel a little more confident."<br/><br/>Felice opened her eyes again, noticing her friend's grin and finding it mirrored on her own lips. She felt a little flush colouring her cheeks and, was suddenly very aware of Gerdi's proximity.<br/><br/>"Eyes?" she echoed, embarassed by how confused that word sounded, "I mean, thank you."<br/><br/>The tinkerer clutched at her glasses, fumbling with them for precious seconds before she managed to pull them loose and set them clumsily on the side table. She blinked, convinced by the heat in her cheeks that her face must be scarlet by now. Nervously, Felice sucked her lip, body trembling in anticipation but otherwise pinned beneath Gerdi's steady gaze.<br/>
