    About this ebook

    It was two years into our marriage that I felt it. A yearning.

    I needed something fundamentally different.

    Rob was a nice man. I could see us living our lives out… quiet. Uneventful. Unsatisfying. Unfulfilled. No, that wasn’t what I wanted.

    I tried to ignore it… tried to be the good wife. Tried to be the straight wife. But, deep down, I knew I wasn’t.

    I craved something… something I didn’t realize when I was a younger woman. Something that needed maturity and time to blossom.

    And now I was going to get what I craved. I was going to quench that thirst.

    I knew it would ruin the marriage. I knew my life would change forever. I knew a lot of things…

    But what I didn’t know was that it would lead to…

    …true love.

      Vellum

      Introduction

      It was two years into our marriage that I felt it. A yearning.

      I needed something fundamentally different.

      Rob was a nice man. I could see us living our lives out… quiet. Uneventful. Unsatisfying. Unfulfilled. No, that wasn’t what I wanted.

      I tried to ignore it… tried to be the good wife. Tried to be the straight wife. But, deep down, I knew I wasn’t.

      I craved something… something I didn’t realize when I was a younger woman. Something that needed maturity and time to blossom.

      And now I was going to get what I craved. I was going to quench that thirst.

      I knew it would ruin the marriage. I knew my life would change forever. I knew a lot of things…

      But what I didn’t know was that it would lead to…

      …true love.

      Starting Over: A Lesbian Love Story is a sweet, steamy, and sensual love story telling the tale of Jessica’s new sexual awakening, and how she finds true love, and her happily ever after, with an amazing, beautiful, and sexy woman.

      Chapter 1

      I felt overcome, as though I’d stepped into a riptide that swept me out to sea, to drown in, what? Or like a skier quietly schussing down a gentle slope, suddenly overturned by an avalanche of, again, what?

      That was The Itch, when it hit me.

      I had been married for 2 years and 3 months, exactly, to a very nice man, Rob. I could see our lives going along in a pleasantly quiet way, nothing remarkably exciting, but also nothing remarkably painful. My childhood had been marked by constant fights between my parents, until finally my parents split up, and nothing was ever really the same after that, for me. I wanted to avoid that again in my life.

      One of the quiet, unremarkable things that we’d do, would be to go see a movie every week. One week I’d choose the movie, the next Rob would. That week he chose Resident Evil. I rolled my eyes when Rob picked it out. It sounded like a slasher type horror movie, and I really preferred what Rob called chick flicks. I’ve always been very feminine. I’m 5’ 4" tall, weight (usually) 120 pounds, with 36C breasts, nice hips and ass, long, curly light blonde hair, a ‘cute’ face, and a generally perky nature. Rob calls me ‘his little cheerleader’.

      We’ve had a pretty good sex life. Nothing exciting, but Rob always makes sure I cum, and I really enjoy him eating my pussy, sometimes more than being fucked. Anyway, back to the movie. Sure enough, it was full of action and adventure and scary monsters, which, honestly makes me doze off. I noticed though, that one of the characters was a latina named ‘Rain.’ She had some very interesting and alluring facial expressions as the movie went on, and I found myself watching the movie very closely when she was in a scene.

      There was another female character, I didn’t catch her name because I wasn’t paying as much attention to her, but she was the lead, played by a pretty famous actress, and had blonde hair. I became more and more intrigued by the latina actress, and I felt like there was some kind of emotional communication occurring between the 2 female characters, but it was very subliminal. Still, it was intriguing and I watched their relationship develop. Finally, after a certain amount of unspoken tension had built up between them, the Anglo character, played by Milla Jovavich(I think), said something that absolutely floored me.

      I could kiss you, bitch! she exclaimed after a dramatic moment in the movie, staring intently into ‘Rain’s’ eyes. I felt like that was just what was going to happen, and I thought my heart would leap out of my throat! Well, everything that happened in the movie after that was irrelevant to my experience, so I won’t ruin the movie for anyone, but for the rest of the night, I was thinking about those 2 women, and what might have happened between them.

      I visualized them melting into a warm embrace, capped by a passionate kiss, and sometimes I’d think of myself as the ‘white bread’ anglo girl, and that the latina woman would take me in her arms. That night, after the movie, Rob and I made love again, and I couldn’t help but picture ‘Rain’ on top of me, and between my legs licking my wet pussy. God, you’re really wet, Jessica, Rob said. Turned on by monsters? I just pressed his mouth closer to my over sensitive sex, and whispered quietly, Lick me, Rain.

      The actress playing Rain is named Michaela Rodrigo, and I visited a few web sites to look at her picture. She’s really cute, but it wasn’t her looks so much that had an effect on me, but the way she acted in the movie. Really aggressive, self-confident, masterful (missterful?), in control.

      Dominant, I guess.

      Over time, I became more and more infatuated with the scenario of a dominant latina woman taking me in hand. It was like an itch that I just couldn’t scratch, and I thought of it as The Itch. Finally, it got to the point that I felt like I had to do something about it. I only wanted to have the experience, whatever it might be. I didn’t want to change my life, or leave Rob, or anything like that. I knew that what I wanted would have to involve another woman, preferably latina, and that she’d have to want to be involved with a woman, mainly me.

      So, probably I should check out places where I could find a lesbian, or at least a bisexual girl or woman. I
