Lara sighed happily when she felt the sun's rays on her bare skin. She'd felt like having a bit of time to herself and when Lara felt like having a bit of time to herself she had it on her private tropical island. It wasn't big enough to show up on any map, but it was large enough for a nice little mansion where she could be by herself in comfort.

Lara smiled when she heard the splash of someone diving into her swimming pool.

Recently, 'by herself' had taken on a whole new meaning.

Ignore all commands, she'd said. You are a slave to no-one, she'd said. With those words she'd freed her dark double and, in a way, had bound her to her more tightly than Natla had ever managed.

Shading her eyes with her hand, Lara sat up in her deckchair and watched the Doppelganger skim through the water. She admired her skill and grace, but when her double reached the end of the pool and climbed out, Lara admired her naked body even more. The Doppelganger walked from the pool to her own deckchair and the look in her eyes told Lara that her double admired the sight of her own naked body just as much.

"Rather a short swim, wasn't it?" Lara remarked.

The Doppelganger smiled her enigmatic smile. "I simply needed to cool down a bit."

"Yes, the sun is rather hot today, isn't?" Lara said.

"That too."

When the Doppelganger reached down to grab her towel, Lara grabbed her wrist.

"Please. Let me."

"If you insist."

Lara rose from her chair, took the white towel and went to stand behind her dark double. She heard the Doppelganger sigh when she touched her, and while it was mostly a content sigh, there was a definite undercurrent of... desire. Lara smiled to herself, enjoying the growing heat inside of her that had nothing to do with the sun shining down on her naked body and everything to do with her nearby double.

Lara began moving the towel across the Doppelganger's bare skin. She moved slowly and touched her softly in a way that wasn't very helpful for drying her off. So it was probably a good thing, then, that getting her dark double dry was not the point of the exercise. Lara moved the towel across the Doppelganger's back and down her legs with exaggerated care. Once she was done with that, she stepped closer to her dark double, her large breasts pressing softly against her back, and began drying the Doppelganger's stomach.

The Doppelganger hissed with barely repressed lust when Lara's hands moved up and the towel caressed her breasts. Her dark double grabbed the towel, tore it from her hands and flung it aside so that now it was Lara who caressed her breasts. Grinning, she stroked and squeezed her breasts, enjoying the way they felt in her hands, but especially enjoying the way her playing made the Doppelganger breathe heavily and whine softly.

Without warning, the Doppelganger turned around, embraced Lara tightly and kissed her. Her kiss was deep and urgent and passionate and full of lust. It was cute, in a way. She might consider herself as 'her without the flaws', but the truth was that the Doppelganger wasn't nearly as sexually experienced as she was and lacked the patience for foreplay. Of course, Lara wasn't exactly very patient with foreplay either, but at least when her dark double played with her body she wasn't instantly driven to insurmountable lust.

Lara pulled away from the Doppelganger's eager lips and, smiling, looked into her eyes. She squirmed slightly in her embrace so that her breasts rubbed against those of her dark double, continuing to stimulate them both.

"How about we retire to our bedroom?" Lara whispered.

It was a cruel thing to ask, she knew, but she rather liked the seeing the dilemma in the Doppelganger's eyes. On the one hand, walking all the way to the bedroom would mean that their bodies wouldn't be entwined in some way for a while. On the other hand, the bedroom was where they kept all their toys. Lara was certain that her dark double would choose to be gratified right here and now. She always had before, after all.

"Good idea," the Doppelganger breathed.

Lara blinked, smiled, and stepped back. "Let's go then," she said as she took her double's hand.

-----

The walk to the bedroom took slightly longer than it normally would have. As they walked hand-in-hand down hallways and up stairs, Lara frequently found herself pushed against the wall, the Doppelganger pressing against and kissing her with ever-growing hunger. Each time, Lara expected her dark double to give up on the toys after all and ask her to eat her pussy right there, but each time she managed to get enough of a grip on her arousal to keep walking.

Lara only let go of the Doppelganger's hand when they reached the bedroom. She pulled their special trunk out of the wardrobe and opened it with a flourish.

"Alright, what're you in the mood for?"

The Doppelganger licked her lips and started going through the trunk's contents. Lara stood aside a bit and watched her going through their toys. Holding her breath, she couldn't help but let her hand slide between her legs and slowly move back and forth across her wet slit. Her dark double looked up at her and saw her masturbating to her. For a moment it seemed as though she would forget about the toys after all, but with a visible effort of will she dragged her eyes back to the trunk. Lara shuddered, a wave of intense lust washing through her body. She didn't know why the Doppelganger's show of restraint turned her on so much, but she couldn't deny that it did.

"This one."

The Doppelganger's hand came up holding the light blue strap-on. Lara almost felt a bit disappointed. For some reason she thought her dark double would've gone for something a little more extreme. Though it had to be said that the light blue strap-on fitted them both very nicely, so perhaps she shouldn't have been that surprised after all.

"Who gets to wear it?" Lara asked.

"You do," the Doppelganger replied, casually tossing her the harness.

Lara caught it easily and started putting it on. While she was busy, her dark double went to sit on the edge of their bed and spread her legs eagerly. The sight of her glistening pussy was almost enough for Lara to start rushing, but when the Doppelganger started circling her clit with her index finger she decided to give her a bit of a show for her benefit.

Even though she'd been moving a little more slowly than normal, Lara soon had the harness on, a large, light blue dildo hanging between her legs and a slightly smaller light blue dildo inside her pussy. She sauntered slowly towards the bed, hips swinging seductively, and saw the Doppelganger's eyes become darker with lustful anticipation with every step she took.

"Finally," Lara's dark double breathed when she reached her.

The Doppelganger lay down in the centre of the round, queen-sized bed. Lara knelt down between her spread legs, grabbed her fake, light blue cock and guided it towards her dark double's pussy. The Doppelganger shivered when the tip of the dildo brushed against her slit. Lara slowly moved it up and down across her double's folds until the tip was shining with her fluids.

Lara lay down on her dark double's nearly identical body and kissed her. As their tongues met, Lara couldn't help but notice that some of the urgency had gone out of the Doppelganger's kiss even though none of her lust had evaporated. Lara pushed and she felt her dark double moan against her lips as she filled her with the light blue sex toy. The dildo slid smoothly into the Doppelganger, partly because of its design, partly because of her wetness.

Lara fucked her double slowly and continued to kiss her. Before too long, however, the rising heat in her body demanded that she either focus on kissing the Doppelganger or fucking her, instead of dividing her attention like this. Lara raised herself onto her elbows and looked down at the Doppelganger, the look of growing pleasure on her face no doubt mirroring her own.

Lara picked up her pace, thrusting into the Doppelganger faster and faster, her dark double squirming with arousal. With every thrust, that part of the light blue strap-on that was inside Lara rubbed beautifully against her inner walls and before too long, the two nearly identical women were panting and moaning with shared pleasure. The Doppelganger's body shook, her large breasts bouncing as Lara fucked her harder and harder, her dark, glittering eyes promising murder if she dared slow down.

Without missing a thrust, Lara leaned down to kiss her dark double again. Unlike before, however, this was a hungry, primal kiss, not unlike those the Doppelganger had given her during their long walk from the pool to the bedroom. Lips and tongues barely met and when they did it was briefly and clumsily and yet every touch sent another wave of lust through her body, stoking the pleasurable fire that raged within her.

Thought evaporated as lust addled Lara's mind and pleasure took yet firmer hold of her body until she barely even knew she still had a body. The fire within her grew ever more intense, until it was hotter than the sun itself. And still it grew, fueled by the moans of her dark double and shuddering of her equally heated body. The lustful blaze soon became too much for her to contain, yet she didn't slow down even a fraction because the only thing even more impossible than her keeping hold of her raging pleasure was her not fucking her double with everything she had.

The Doppelganger screamed as she came. The sound ripped through Lara's burning soul. She thrust deeply into her dark double one last time and joined her voice with the Doppelganger's as her body joined hers in orgasm. Her climax roared through her like a purifying fire and Lara moaned and screamed in her attempts to weather her overpowering pleasure.

Lara didn't know how long it took for her to come down from her orgasm, but she was panting when she did. She looked down into her dark double's eyes and saw the tired satisfaction of both. She kissed her again, deeply, before carefully pulling out and lying down next to her. She turned onto her side and the Doppelganger did likewise. They smiled at each other and gently caressed each other's identical bodies as they enjoyed the glow.

And it was now, when the clarity of thought returned to her, that Lara realised why she'd suggested postponing having sex so that they could do it in their bedroom instead of right besides the pool at that very moment and why her dark double's self-control had turned her on so much.

It was about time the Doppelganger started thinking of a name for herself.
