Chapter 29:

It had been three wonderful but exhausting weeks of work. Just as Anna had predicted it hadn't been long before people started coming to their little shop asking for ice-sculptures. Elsa was a little hesitant at first, thinking that if she started using her magic so much people would realize she was different. But as the days passed, she relaxed a bit more; she even started putting perfectly done snowflakes at the top of every ice-cream. After some convincing from Anna, she also put ice sculptures of animals or, sometimes, incredibly beautiful towers, in the entrance of their shop. Of course, people loved them and they soon started getting more clients. It also helped Elsa in a personal way, since she was now much more confident talking to people, especially when they praised her work, and especially if they were children (they were the ones who loved Elsa's incredible sculptures the most), and she wasn't so afraid anymore about someone discovering her powers. Most of them just believed her to be incredibly talented, so there was really nothing to worry about… well, almost nothing.

Of course, there was still the Rapunzel and Eugene thing, and it had them both preoccupied. It was what made them fell in silence, immersed in their thoughts at night, made them never talk about the days they spent with the couple and it was, Elsa thought, what made Anna be less enthusiastic and affectionate towards her, but maybe that wasn't the only reason.

Another thing that had been constantly in Elsa's mind the past weeks was the lack of physical contact with Anna. Of course, she still kissed her and hugged her, but… after the little incident at the ice-cream shop, she hadn't tried to initiate anything more intimate than a few chaste kisses. It was almost as if they had reverted to the beginning of their relationship, and it was driving her crazy. She had tried to talk to Anna about it, to tell her that she didn't mind the more intimate kind of contact and that what happened before had been an isolated accident, but, unfortunately, Anna had insisted that it was best to take it slow, saying that she didn't want to force her into anything she wasn't ready for. Elsa had tried to convince her that she was ready to touch and be touched (if you know what I mean), but Anna had proven her wrong just by grabbing her breast, making Elsa freak out again.

It wasn't her fault; she couldn't control it. She wanted to experience the bliss that only being completely united to someone could bring her, but her body reacted badly to any kind of intimate contact without her conscious control. Eventually, she dropped it, realizing she wasn't going to convince Anna anytime soon, but she still wished for it to happen, and she practiced touching herself every day, hoping that one day it would be her lover's hands caressing her body instead of her own.

"Hey Elsa!" Anna's voice pulled her out of her thoughts. "What do you think?" She asked showing her a poster that read "NEW: Order your hot beverage with a ball of ice-cream".

"I still think it's crazy." Elsa answered shaking her head.

"It's not." Anna pouted. "It totally makes sense! I mean, hot and cold are so intense they should always be together! Like you and me." Elsa blushed and smiled sweetly at her words, but still tried to talk her out of it.

"The ice-cream will melt." She said.

"That's the point! You'll feel it as it melts and taste both hot and cold at the same time!"

"You are impossible." Elsa shook her head as she turned around to decide which sculptures she'd made that day, opting for a couple of foxes (they reminded her of Anna), this time even given them an orangey color. Then, she turned around to face Anna. "Well, I think it's time to open."

"Yeah, it's almost midday." Anna agreed as she went to open the door. Almost instantly a little girl entered running excitedly followed by her father, then another and another, and soon their small shop was full of clients, some just admiring the new sculptures, and others buying all kinds of ice-cream (some even bought Anna's invention, much to Elsa's surprise). However, it wasn't until three hours later that the shop was so full that Elsa had to start helping Anna, not only with the ice-cream, but also with taking orders and receiving payments.

It had been a bit difficult for her the first time she was forced to do that, but lately it was getting a lot easier. She specially liked talking with the kids; they were very innocent and said funny things, not to mention, they loved anything she made with her powers (even if she never directly showed her magic to any of them). So when a girl, approximately six years old came to ask for an strawberry ice-cream, she didn't miss the opportunity to talk with her and maybe even take a break from all the stress produced by having to deal with money (she was still trying to remember additions and subtractions).

"Hello. Which flavor do you want?" Elsa asked, smiling at the girl.

"Strawberry, please." She answered, smiling and showing she was missing a few teeth, which made Elsa giggle.

"Alright, do you want one ball or two balls?"

"I want two, but my mommy said one.—She pouted adorably.—I want a cone, though."

"That's okay. And, even if you will get only one ball, I'll give you a little present, what do you say?"

"Yes!" The girl screamed smiling widely, which made Elsa chuckle.

"Which is your favorite animal?"

"Bunnies." The girl said after thinking carefully so, behind the counter, Elsa made a mini ice-bunny at the top of the ice-cream before giving it to her.

"Oh! This is amazing!" The girl said genuinely amazed by the level of detail of the little frozen animal. "Thank you!" She said with a huge smile before running to a table where a boy a little older than her (probably her brother) was already eating his ice-cream. Elsa smiled fondly at the sight, but was promptly brought back to reality when a woman spoke to her.

"Here." She said giving her some money. "This is for two simple ice-creams, both in cone." Elsa nodded, realizing the woman was referring to the girl and her brother's ice-creams, before making sure it was the right quantity. Then, the woman started taking again. "You're really good with kids, aren't you?" She said. Elsa looked at her briefly before deviating her gaze and trying not to get nervous (she was getting better, yes, but adults could still make her freak out sometimes).

"I-I guess." She answered.

"Do you have any children?" Elsa shook her head. "Are you planning to?" She pointed with her head to Anna.

"Well… I guess we should get married first." She answered blushing. The truth is that she hadn't thought about it since her first disastrous 'proposal', and she didn't feel ready to have children just yet.

"Oh! I'm sorry, I thought you were married." She apologized, but Elsa just shook her head.

"It's alright."

"Well, anyways, I think you are a great couple." She said smiling before retiring to reunite with her lover, another woman who was with the girl she had just given an ice-cream to. Then, the whole family got out of the shop, smiling to each other.

The rest of the day, Elsa couldn't stop thinking about the lesbian couple than had come to their shop, after all, they were the first one Elsa had seen in real life, and they looked so happy! She wished to have something like that with Anna in the future, but she was worried that it wasn't going to happen if she couldn't even make her have sex with her in the first place. She had to make it happen, but how?

That night, when they were preparing to go to bed, Elsa decided they had to talk… the problem is she didn't know how to begin and was starting to get a bit nervous, so, when Anna came out of the bathroom after washing her teeth, she found a fidgeting Elsa nervously staring at the sheets.

"Uh… are you okay?" She asked, making her almost jump.

"Yes!" She said a little too loudly before clearing her throat. "I-I mean… yes, I'm okay. Everything's normal. I'm not planning anything." At this, Anna raised an eyebrow.

"Really? 'Cause you seemed to be thinking about something that makes you anxious. Did something happened today?"

"Uhm, well… I…" She started stammering, which was rare as of lately, especially when they were alone.

"Elsa?"

"I want to have sex with you!" She almost shouted, only to blush furiously and look completely embarrassed a second after. Anna, on the other hand, was left completely speechless, so they were immersed into an awkward silence, one staring at the ground feeling her cheeks burn and the other wondering what had just happened.

"Uh… What?!" Anna finally reacted.

"I-I said that I…"

"I know what you said." Anna interrupted her, not wanting to hear again those words that caused her a combination of multiple opposing emotions and thoughts. "But… I thought we had agreed to take it slow? After the incident?"

It's not like Anna didn't want to have sex with Elsa, on the contrary; she found her very appealing, and it was hard for her not to make anything inappropriate every time they were alone, but desire wasn't the only thing she felt for her; she loved her, very much, and she wanted to make love, she wanted their first time to be perfect. She didn't want Elsa to be afraid of her touch; she didn't want to force her to do anything she wasn't prepared to do.

But to be truthful, she had been very frustrated lately (and not only in a sexual way), and every day that passed it became more difficult for her to restrain herself.

"I-I know." Elsa answered, fidgeting with her hands. "It's just… you've been distant lately, and I don't like it." She said with a sad voice, slightly bowing her head. "I miss your touch and your heat… I miss your overly enthusiastic kisses, and I fear that one day… you'll leave me." Her voice broke at the last part and, when ice started spreading under her feet and her shoulder began to shake, Anna knew she was about to cry, and that was the last thing she wanted; it always broke her heart.

"No, no, no… please don't think that." She said kneeling in front of her and softly pressing her hands on her now wet cheeks, before making her look at her eyes. "I love you, Elsa. I wouldn't leave you. Ever."

"I know, but… how do you love me? Do you still desire me?" She asked with so much vulnerability that Anna felt physical pain in her heart; her intention putting some distance between them had been not hurting Elsa, but apparently with her actions she had achieved exactly that.

"Yes, very much." The fervent admission surprised Anna, not because it wasn't true, but because she had never admitted something like that out loud. Well… now Elsa knew, and she didn't seemed scared or upset, so Anna decided to continue, feeling that something warm, ardent, within her had awoken. "I've felt attracted to you since the day we met, and every day I wish I could touch you and kiss you and make you mine." She swallowed; her mouth felt dry at the intensity of the admissions, and for a moment, she almost forgot why she had to stay firm, and just wanted to give Elsa what she had asked for, but fortunately she remembered the resolution she'd made. "But…" She continued. "You weren't ready. You were broken and traumatized. You didn't even want to talk to anyone, or to touch anything with your bare hands."

"But it's different now, Anna." Elsa interrupted her. "You saved me, you showed me what love was like, you made me face my fears. You healed me." She paused. "I know it was difficult at first, but eventually I learned to talk, to touch, and to interact with people. But none of that could've been possible if I hadn't been exposed to my worst fears." Elsa took Anna's hand between hers and softly caressed it. "So now I'm begging you; touch me, make love to me, or else I'll never be capable of it. Please, I promise I'll try to stay calm."

Anna was going to say no again, but paused; Elsa did have a point. If she hadn't practically dragged her out of the house, she probably would still be trapped there. If she hadn't contracted Kai and Gerda, Elsa still wouldn't be talking to anyone but her. If she didn't dare to touch her until she wasn't afraid if it anymore… she'd never be ready. Maybe that was Elsa's way of getting rid of her fears; facing them. Maybe they should try.

Anna sighed. It was incredible how Elsa could convince her of anything.

"Alright. We'll make love." She agreed. "But if you don't feel comfortable with something, promise me you will tell me." Elsa nodded eagerly, a radiant smile appearing on her face. "Okay… I was hoping our first time could be in an elegant hotel after a magnificent date, or something like that, but I don't think you would want to postpone this anymore, do you?"

"No, you're not escaping from this." Elsa answered playfully.

"I figured as much." She answered with a mischievous smile, her body already heating up at the prospect of having Elsa the way she always wanted.

Without warning, Anna's mouth furiously attacked Elsa's lips, letting out the passion and hunger she had suppressed the past three weeks. Elsa gasped and Anna took the opportunity to introduce her tongue and explore the blonde's mouth, electing wonderful sounds from the other woman that just made her want to simply fuck her senseless. But she had to remind herself that Elsa wasn't any girl; she wasn't one of the multiple crushes and one night stands she had had during high school and even college. No, she was the one she loved most, and now she had to show her this through wonderful, passionate love making.

Panting, Anna separated from her and pressed their foreheads together, looking at Elsa's eyes and searching for any sign of doubt, but she only found two pairs of black pupils, heavily dilated with lust, but still retaining that loving gaze that was so characteristic of Elsa.

Carefully, Anna pushed her lover until she was laying on the bed, and then she started kissing her again, this time a little more tenderly, though still more passionately than usual. She moaned in delight when she felt Elsa's hands tightly gripping her night gown, pulling her even closer, to the point only their clothes separated them. In that moment, Anna decided it was time to try something more risky.

The eager redhead took the hem of Elsa's nightgown and pulled it up, revealing her flat abdomen, which she started caressing and teasing, trying to prepare Elsa for when she touched her most intimate parts. Soon, the blonde was squirming in delight, pulling Anna closer and begging her in hushed tones to stop teasing her. But Anna had other plans; she now was attacking Elsa's neck with her lips and tongue, caressing her, tasting her, biting, sucking, marking her as her own, to which Elsa responded with loud moans and whimpers. Oh, how Anna loved those sensual sounds! She was now regretting not having done it sooner.

"A-Anna please." Elsa whimpered, feeling her inner parts aching with arousal, wanting nothing but to be finally joined with her lover.

"You sure you're ready?" Anna asked, already reaching for Elsa's nightgown.

"Yes, please!" She almost shouted, making Anna giggle at her eagerness.

"Aright, hold on, let me take this thing out of the way." Saying that, she lifted the aggravating piece of cloth and, as Elsa lifted her arms, she was able to take it off of her and toss it to the other end of the room, revealing the most wonderful pair of breast she'd ever seen. Sure, she had seen them once before, but back then Elsa was unnourished, and her boobs her smaller, but now… Now they were the perfect size! And those pink and erected nipples! She just wanted to devour them! But she couldn't. Not without Elsa's permission. "C-can I…?" Anna stuttered, signaling to her breasts, her hands already reaching for them involuntarily. But Elsa covered them with her hands, her cheeks turning bright read as she looked at her.

"I-I'd feel more comfortable if you were naked as well." She said.

Anna didn't need to be told twice, because soon she was tossing her nightgown to the other end of the room, smirking when she saw Elsa's eyes widen as her gaze traveled through all her naked torso.

"Like what you see?" She teased, making Elsa blush madly before shyly averting her gaze. "It's okay." She assured her. "It's all yours to touch and see, if you want."

"R-really?" She asked with hopeful eyes. "Can I…?" As soon as Anna nodded, Elsa's hands shot forward to grab those soft mounds, making Anna moan and shudder (partially from pleasure, but also from how cold Elsa's fingers were). "Wow." She breathed as she started massaging them, marveling when her touch made Anna's nipples harden, making her (for some reason) want to kiss them. But she feared that'd be too weird, so she decided to ask first. "C-can I kiss them?" She said blushing furiously.

"Y-yes." Anna stuttered, almost unable to think because of the intense arousal she was feeling just from Elsa's touch, but when she felt wet lips on her right nipple, she almost collapsed in pure pleasure, moaning like never before. It all became even more intense when Elsa started sucking, and she had to grip the headboard to stop herself from crumbling. However, it wasn't until she felt Elsa's knee brushing against her crotch that she decided it was time to stop, before things got so heated she couldn't even think. "A-ah… Elsa… wait." She stuttered, sighing in relief when the blonde obeyed. "A-are you sure you want to do this? This is your last chance to back off."

Please say you want to continue, please, please!

"You talk too much." Was Elsa's sole answer as she pulled her down on top of her, making them both gasp as their naked breasts pressed together. Then, the older woman started tenderly kissing her shoulders, as she caressed her lower back. In all her dreams about how her first time with Elsa would be, Anna never imagined her to be so forward, but apparently she was wrong. Not that this bothered her. "I love your freckles." She whispered to her ear, making Anna melt, overwhelmed by the intense sensations she was experiencing.

But she wasn't going to let her be in control for much longer.

In that moment, Anna firmly pressed her knee against Elsa's groin, smirking when she felt her wetness even though she was still wearing her panties.

Not for long, though.

Anna decided that now it was her turn to touch Elsa, and did so without fearing the consequences, starting with her smooth and long legs, to then continue moving upwards to her hips (there she stayed longer, admiring just how perfectly wide they were), then her waist and her shoulders, hesitating a little when she was going to touch her breasts.

"Uhm… Maybe it's better if you don't." Elsa said, making Anna look up to her eyes. "I'm not sure yet if I won't freak out, so… could you let me touch you first?" She blushed at her own words, but continued since she knew this was important. "That would make it easier for me when it's your turn to touch me."

"Uh…" Anna wasn't expecting such a request, but she wasn't going to complain. "Okay, I mean, it that's what you really want…"

"It is." She quickly said. "But… you'll have to guide me. I'm new at this."

"I know." Anna chuckled. "But you're sure? Like really, really sure?" When Elsa nodded, Anna took a deep breath before explaining her how this was done. "Alright, first I'll have to take my panties off. Is that okay with you?" Elsa nodded almost too eagerly and Anna just shook her head in amusement, proceeding to do what she had said. Once she was completely naked she noticed the blonde's gaze was glued to her red pubic hairs and blushed a little. "Uhm… well, now…" Anna took an invisible strand of hair behind her ear as she always did when she was nervous. "You can touch. I'll tell you what feels good."

"Alright." Elsa said, visibly as nervous (or maybe even more nervous) than Anna. Then, she slowly reached forward to Anna's womanhood, positioned exactly above her own waist, hesitating when she was only inches away from it.

"Go ahead." Anna encouraged her, aching to feel her touch. "It won't bite." She joked to ease the tension, but Elsa just gave her a funny look. "Okay, bad joke. Just do it already."

Without thinking twice Elsa closed the remaining distance as she shut her eyelids, marveling when she felt wet folds, more wet than her own had ever been when she pleasured herself. Slowly, she opened one eye and looked up at Anna, who was looking down at her with eyes full of lust and desire. She didn't look like she was afraid or uncomfortable, but Elsa still decided it was best to ask.

"Is this… good?"

"Yes." Anna breathed out. "Your fingers are a little cold, but they feel wonderful down there." She admitted, making Elsa blush even more. "Now you could try moving them a little."

Elsa did as she was told, soon discovering Anna's entrance. She had never tried to penetrate herself, but she knew what this was, and she knew it was supposed to cause pleasure, so, experimentally, she slowly slid one finger inside the redhead, her eyes widening a the wonderful sensation of soft and wet skin surrounding it, but stopping when she heard a gasp.

"Did I hurt you?"

"No. It feels wonderful." Anna said panting. "But I'd like it if you put another one." Elsa did so and Anna unconsciously lowered her hips a little, moaning when Elsa's fingers hit that spot that could make her come almost instantly. Elsa watched intently Anna's actions, mesmerized by the way she could make her feel by just putting her fingers in the exact place. But then she remembered something was missing; the bundle of nerves that always gave her the ultimate pleasure when she masturbated, so she searched it with her thumb and, upon feeling it, she pressed on it hard, making Anna scream in pleasure. "Ah! Oh my God! Elsa! Don't stop!" She said and the blonde obeyed, feeling how her own arousal grew at the sight of Anna becoming a screaming mess under her touch.

Anna was so sensitive at the moment, however, that, combined with the fact that she hadn't had sex in almost a year, she found herself soon gripping tightly the headboard as she became undone at Elsa's touch, enjoying quite a lot when she felt her inner walls tightly squeezing Elsa's cold fingers, bringing her to one of the best orgasms (if not the actual best) she had ever experienced. However, she soon had to tell Elsa to stop, because she had continued rubbing her oversensitive clit, and, when she finally pulled her fingers out, Anna collapsed at her side, her body still trying to recover from the orgasm.

"Wow." She breathed out. "That was wonderful. Thank you." Anna then leaned in a captured Elsa's lips between hers, giving her such an intense kiss that it left them both even more breathless.

"I agree." Elsa said smiling fondling at her.

"Ready for your turn?" Anna asked as she caressed her now messy locks of blonde hair.

"I-I think." She answered shyly deviating her gaze as she bit her lip in the most adorable way.

"Hey." Anna said caressing her cheek. "I promise I won't do anything you're not okay with. If you tell me to stop, at any moment, I will."

"I know." Elsa nodded before looking at her eyes and giving her a loving smile. "I trust you."

Nodding, Anna reached for Elsa's panties and, ever so slowly, pulled them down, relaxing when the blonde didn't make any objections and, instead, helped her removing the bothersome piece of cloth that was the only thing to separate them now. Once it had been taken care of, Anna pulled Elsa towards her and kissed her, slowly and tenderly, but with enough passion to communicate her desire to have her. When they separated, Elsa only nodded, to indicate Anna that she was ready.

Anna, still taking precautions, slowly started caressing her hips, to then continue with her legs, not daring to touch her most intimate part just yet (even if her eyes kept deviating to the bunch of blonde curls she had down there). Instead, she kept caressing her legs, coming closer each time to her womanhood, but never actually touching it, that is until Elsa got frustrated.

"Just do it!" She said, slightly upset. "I won't freeze you hand or anything, you know?"

"Sorry." Anna said. She hadn't realized she had been teasing her.

Now, taking a deep breath, the redhead slowly reached for her soft curls, relaxing when she didn't pull away, before reaching for her wet folds, which, unlike the rest of her body, were incredibly warm. It was a wonderful sensation indeed. Anna looked up at Elsa's face, to see if she was alright, but found her with her eyes tightly shut, as if she was concentrating hard on not freaking out. This made Anna frown.

"Hey." She said as the cupped her cheek with the hand that wasn't busy. At this, Elsa finally opened one eye and looked at her with a combination of fear and shyness. "There's no need to be afraid. If you don't want to do this, we won't. You don't have to accept just because you fear you'll lost me; I won't leave you, not now, not ever. So tell me, do you really want this?"

"Yes, of course!" She assured her. "I just don't know how my body will react. I don't want to hurt you if I accidentally freak out."

"You won't." Anna said confidently. "Just remember: love will thaw. Concentrate at the love you feel for me and we'll both be fine."

"Okay." Elsa said taking a deep breath. "I'll try."

"Good. Just relax and try to enjoy it."

That said, Anna searched for Elsa's clit and, once she found it, she started rubbing circles around it, smiling when she heard Elsa's gasp and saw she was actually enjoying it. She also noticed a few snowflakes falling though, but she figured it was a side effect of Elsa's powers and didn't mention it.

Once she was sure Elsa was more comfortable (if the way she tightly gripped her shoulders to pull her close was any indication), she moved her fingers down to explore her entrance. Elsa gasped since it was a part of her body no one had ever touched (not even herself), but it didn't feel bad. Just strange, like it was over sensitive.

"I'm going to enter you now." Anna warned her. "If it hurts, don't hesitate to tell me." Once Elsa nodded, Anna slowly slid one finger inside her, surprising when she found it to be even warmer than the exterior. And soft, very soft and wet. She felt an almost unbearable urge to just go down on her and taste her (no doubt) delicious juices, but she decided it was too much for the first time. It'd have to wait. Instead, she started moving her finger, in and out, slowly, enjoying the sounds these actions got out of Elsa.

"Oh, Anna." She moaned, her fears and anxieties completely forgotten. "Faster."

Anna obeyed, this time also flexing her finger before getting it out, and smirking when this got even more moans and mewls from Elsa. Then, she decided to try and put another finger in, which turned out to be a good idea, as Elsa started almost screaming in pleasure. Now, with the blonde completely at her mercy, Anna decided it was time to make her come… before she got the whole bedroom encased in ice.

Faster now, Anna started trusting her fingers in and out of her, rubbing her clit with her thumb at the same time, her own body heating up when she looked up to find a sweaty and red Elsa who was barely able to keep her eyes open because of the intense pleasure she was feeling. Then, suddenly, she screamed, squeezing her eyes shut when her inner walls clenched around Anna's fingers, which were still deep inside of her. At the same time, all the ice disappeared as if it had never been there.

Love will thaw, indeed.

Anna rode her out of her orgasm before taking out her fingers and licking them clean, humming at the delicious taste of her lover, who blushed when she saw this. Then, Anna collapsed in bed as Elsa kissed her passionately, their bare bodies pressing together in the most amazing way.

"It was wonderful." Elsa said as she broke the kiss. "Much better than masturbation."

"Agreed." Anna said smiling fondly at the blonde.

"But… I noticed you did it better than I."

"That's okay. No one is an expert at their first time." Anna reassured her. "Besides, it still felt great, just because it was you the one making love to me. I love you." She said pulling her into a much softer kiss than their previous ones.

"I know. I love you too." Elsa answered smiling before snuggling into Anna's side, closing her eyes since the previous activities had left her exhausted.

"Sleep well." Anna whispered pressing a gentle kiss in her temple before turning off the lights, and covering them both with the blanket.

As Anna drifted to sleep, feeling Elsa's naked body between her arms, she couldn't help thinking she was glad that Elsa had pushed them both out of their comfort zone. This was undoubtedly a night she would always remember.
