Parallels
Slender blonde Rika Fane lies stretched across the bed in a loose cream shirt worn open over a camisole, facing brunette beauty Asandra Dewy as the two settle in close, sunlight from the window warming their skin. As Andrej Lupin's erotic lesbian film "Parallels" begins, the room feels calm and unhurried, the freestanding tub and upholstered headboard lending the space a quiet luxury. The film drifts between their two points of view, each seeing the other through her own eyes: Rika gazing across with a soft, inviting expression, Asandra just as relaxed in her own white shirt, dark red nail polish and a small tattoo on her thigh catching the light. For a while they simply take one another in, their eyes holding the same easy confidence. Then the distance between them begins to close. Rika drifts nearer, and Asandra turns toward her, their smiles softening as shoulders brush and gentle hands come to rest. Lying close now, they lean in together, the warmth between them impossible to miss. When their lips finally meet, the kiss is tender and unhurried, deepening with every passing second. Wrapped up entirely in one another, Rika and Asandra let the rest of the room fall away, aware of nothing but the closeness they share.
