Page 25 of Embers of Love

Ember pointed in the direction of her bedroom. Josephine moved as quietly as she could manage, grabbing her overnight bag off the floor. Her heart pounded hard in her chest. Thankfully, the door had been locked or Becky would have walked in on them.

After she went into the bathroom, she shut the door and sat on the toilet with the lid down. She heard Ember answer the door. The words were slightly muffled so Josephine couldn’t make out what was said. Their exchange probably only took a minute but if felt like an eternity before Ember knocked on the door.

“My mom’s gone, she just wanted to check in on me before going to work.”

Josephine hesitated.

“Josephine?” Ember sounded worried.

A brief pause. Josephine didn’t know what to say.

“Okay.” Josephine heard her walk away.

It took a few minutes before she calmed her racing heart. That had been close. Too close. Her legs were still shaking when she stood but she forced herself to go outside.

Ember was in the kitchen making breakfast when she walked in. At her worried look, Josephine merely shook her head.

“You know you don’t have to worry about my mom, right?” Ember said. “Even if she found out, it wouldn’t be the end for us.”

Josephine understood that. She was an adult, so was Ember. Technically, nothing could keep them apart if they chose to stay with each other. Her mother would be angry, yes. She would probably throw a tantrum, certainly. But ultimately, Josephine couldn’t bear to hurt her dear friend like that.

“I’ll go clean up,” Josephine said, finally. She was content to avoid the problem for as long as she could.

“Okay.” Ember went back to cooking.

Josephine went back to the bathroom. Her overnight bag was still there. She grabbed her things, mostly a fresh change of clothes and some toiletries. She brushed her teeth, showered, and came back out to join Ember for breakfast. Ember went to take a shower and came back with wet hair, completely naked. Josephine couldn’t stop looking at her stunning athletic body still wet from the shower.

“Do you have to go to work today?”

Josephine nodded, knowing where this was going and finding that she wasn’t completely opposed to the idea. Ember pushed her stool next to her and wrapped an arm around her waist.

“Stay with me.” Her big brown eyes were seductive as hell.

Josephine couldn’t refuse, not with the way Ember’s fingers traced a line along her hips. She opened her mouth to speak but the words were lost to a gasp when Ember leaned in and bit gently on her neck.

Ember’s firm hand reached around to grab her other hip, pulling Josephine back until her rear was pressed backwards into Embers hips as though they were spooning. Ember’s hand reached around to fondle Josephine’s breast, stimulating her nipples through her shirt. She was turned on again… Jesus. Ember’s touch just did things to her.

“Let’s move this to the bedroom?” Ember offered.

“Yes,” Josephine managed a whisper.

Josephine took Ember’s hand and allowed herself to be led to the bedroom.

“Take off your clothes,” Ember commanded, and Josephine easily obeyed, shrugging out of them until she was as naked as Ember.

Ember took hold of her, pulling her in tight and kissing her deeply. Josephine felt herself melting in Ember’s strong arms. She had never felt this way with anyone.

Ember turned her around so she was facing the bed and Ember was behind her, Ember’s breasts pressing into her shoulder blades. “Bend over, baby,” Ember whispered in her ear and Josephine thought she might come there and then. She reached unsteadily forwards until her breasts and forearms rested on the bed and her ass was well and truly in the air putting her pussy on display.

She felt Ember’s strong grip on her hips.

Never let me go…

“Mmm…” Ember made sounds of appreciation as her hands ran over Josephine’s hips and the curve of her ass.

She felt Embers fingers trailing down the cleft of her ass, teasing her anus, sliding though her wet labia and circling her clit. She moaned loudly. She felt so exposed. She had never been in this position with any lover before. It seemed with Ember, there were a lot of firsts for her.

“You are so nice and wet for me,” Ember murmured as she continued to play and tease her ass and pussy.
