“Got some unsettling news today.” She told her about the email that was getting ready to go out and Stassi listened, halting the dribbling to keep her mind focused on every word. “I’m just worried about my fellow co-workers, and I feel at a loss because I don’t know how I can help them.”

“You’re a good woman, Sage,” Stassi began. “Your heart is so big.”

Sage snickered. “And yet, there’s not a damn thing I can do.”

“There’s always something that can be done.”

Sage slowly nodded. At the meeting, she could do everything she could to pull everything in their favor, but it was a bit overwhelming to consider that she was the one that everyone now depended on. Stassi reached up and caressed Sage’s cheek and Sage’s eyes went to hers.

“I’m glad you’re here,” Sage whispered.

“There’s no place I’d rather be.” Stassi winked and wrapped her arm around Sage, pulling her into a mouth-watering kiss. As their tongues collided in unison, they just held one another. The ball dropped, jarring Sage out of her deep fantasy.

“I could warm up the food,” Sage began.

Stassi shook her head and reached for Sage’s hand. She scooped down and picked up the ball while still holding onto Sage. They went back into the building, dropped the ball back into its basket, and then headed up to Sage’s apartment. They were both quiet, but Sage could hear her escalated heartbeat.

Sage unlocked the door and pushed it open, then followed after Stassi as they went down the hallway to the bedroom. Once inside, Stassi turned to Sage and wrapped her arms around her, kissing her with such passion and hunger that it left Sage breathless.

“Let me take away your worries,” Stassi whispered.

Sage couldn’t object. The room started spinning, and somehow, they both ended up naked and back in her bed. Sage pulled the covers back around them and fell down into the bed. It was so cozy and comforting. Stassi pressed her bare body to Sage’s, and they melted together, with Sage’s finger quickly swiped against Stassi’s folds.

Her opening was wet, and she could tell that hers was too as they kissed one another with all the fire captivating them. Sage arched her back and let Stassi’s lips slowly trail down to her neck. Stassi methodically sucked, even leaving teeth indentations as Sage released a groan. Stassi grabbed onto Sage’s hips and held her in place, not breaking from her neck. She kissed and sucked, sucked and kissed, undoubtedly leaving a hickey in its place.

Sage growled, her insides aching to feel the same attention. Stassi released a slight giggle, then moved her lips around to the other side of Sage’s neck, applying the same appreciation. Once she had given her all, she moved down, trailing kisses along her chest. This was her attention to give, and Sage wouldn’t lead her elsewhere. She grinned, fully entranced in how Stassi had her body on fire.

Stassi traced Sage’s stomach with her lips, leaving kisses around her belly and then shifting her lips down to Sage’s most delicate spot. Her breath was warm and inviting as Sage spread out her legs, the ache even harder to get past. Stassi slipped her tongue inside of her, causing the shock to break through Sage’s core. It happened so quickly and yet didn’t appear to be quick enough.

“More,” Sage gasped.

Stassi slid her tongue up one side of Sage’s opening and back down the other, eagerly tracing the spot that Sage had maintained the first time they had intercourse. Sage shot up, grabbing onto Stassi as Stassi made the lap again. She held onto Stassi’s shoulders and slowly rocked her hips back and forth, waiting as Stassi went in even deeper.

“Oh God,” Sage whimpered, her legs shook, and she grabbed onto the bed, her stomach tightening as Stassi swiftly moved in and out of her. Stassi’s sounds of pleasure left Sage panting and bearing down, ready for the orgasm to shoot through her. Stassi’s tongue slid even faster, opening Sage up even more, and Sage latched down and released a cry. Her body shook, right along with the bed, and she shattered in two, releasing her juices. She was spent, crashing down onto the bed, panting from the orgasm that had raked her body.

Stassi slithered up Sage’s body, like a cloth to its flame and moved in and kissed her, nipping down on her lips. Sage tasted her own juice coming off Stassi’s lips; it was sweet. Her mind had cleared of her worries from earlier, and she was smiling with happiness. This was her safe space, and Stassi knew how to stroke all the right parts.

Stassi

Stassi stared at Sage as she rested so peacefully. She pulled the blanket around her as a chill hit her body. It wasn’t even chilly in Sage’s bedroom, yet there was this ominous feeling. It almost felt like doom was hanging over them, before they could even continue what was happening.

Stassi didn’t want to feel this way, but there were too many things that could go wrong between them. When they were together, Stassi felt like they were meant for an eternity. They weren’t nearly in that position, though. Time was hardly on their side. And there were too many ways they could crumble. So why did Stassi feel it was meant to be? Love wasn’t a word that Stassi had never had reason to say. Outside of her parents, Stassi would avoid using the word. It was reserved for when her mom or dad would initiate it. It was too soon. Hard to even consider that Stassi would want to say it to Sage, especially someone she hardly knew. The bedroom proves otherwise. That was the problem. When they were together in an intimate setting, there was no denying their chemistry. She was comfortable with her. And that wasn’t even scary to admit.

Stassi grabbed her phone and stared down at her latest text to her father.

Stassi

Are you ignoring me? I get the feeling you’re ignoring me. I’ve texted, emailed, and called. I need to talk to you.

She fell back against the chair and stared at the sleeping woman, who was barely covered in her bed. If her father didn’t return her messages shortly, she would have to go directly to his house. He couldn’t ignore her if she were standing right in front of him.

“Are you staring at me?”

Stassi turned and spotted Sage on her elbows, her eyes directed to her. Stassi felt her cheeks burning. “I mean, you are hard not to stare at.” Stassi stood up and moved over to the bed. She leaned in and planted a kiss on Sage’s lips. “I didn’t mean to wake you.”

“You didn’t wake me.” Sage tilted her head. “Yet, I’m wondering what you’re doing awake. It’s just after two.”

“Got a little hungry. Hope you don’t mind, I warmed the food up.”
