Now Ashley was feeling more than just relaxed. “What time is it?”

“Okay, so it’s noon. But I cleaned our sheets this morning, and the boys decided to eat out for lunch.” She nipped Ashley’s ear.

With that, Ashley was wide awake as all the information sank in. She leaped from the bed, racing for her bag.

“Oof.”

Ashley glanced over her shoulder to see Esther tumbled on the floor. “Crap, are you all right, sweetheart?”

Esther rubbed her shoulder, which had taken the brunt of the impact. “I wasn’t expecting your reaction to be to toss me from the bed.”

Ashley held up the pink vibrator she’d retrieved from her bag. “I was actually planning on making you come until you begged me to stop.” She turned on the vibrator for dramatic effect and watched Esther’s eyes go wide. “Get back up there and lay down for me.”

Esther scrambled to comply, and the power rush of that kind of obedience was Ashley’s own kind of foreplay.

“You like doing what you’re told?” Ashley asked.

Esther sat at the head of the bed, one knee up and her gaze flitting between Ashley and the thing in Ashley’s hand. She blushed but nodded like a bobblehead.

Perfect. “Then undress for me.” An idea was forming, but she needed Esther fully on board. “How would you feel about some light bondage?”

Esther paused with her underwear halfway down her knees. A pink blush worked its way from her chest up to her cheeks. “Fuck.”

“We don’t have to.” Ashley hastened to amend. She didn’t want to overstep. But a part of her craved to know how far Esther would let her go. “It was just an idea. No worries.”

“That is—” Esther pinched her eyes shut. “Ashley, you’re too sexy. I would love that, but I should warn you, I might finish fast.”

“Are you sure? That is definitely not a problem.” Ashley rushed to her bag, digging for her satin sashes. “I was planning on getting you off more than once anyway. I would love theconfidence boost of a fast one.” She pulled the sashes out and ran back to the bed. “Not that you need to hurry.”

“Now what do I do?”

Esther sat against the headboard, fully naked. Her lanky limbs curled around her, and her dark hair fell loose over her shoulders. A shudder trickled down Ashley’s spine.

Ashley took a moment to savor this image. She pushed Esther’s hair to the side, running her lips down Esther’s pale neck. Esther’s breaths grew shallow. She tilted her chin as Ashley licked and sucked down her throat. She smelled so good. Ashley wanted all of her, just as she was, for as long as she had her.

“Lay down for me and grab the headboard. Yeah, just like that. Good girl.” She fastened Esther’s wrists to the wooden rails, checking to be sure they were tight enough to hold her without being uncomfortable. “Now, you’re in charge of this, but don’t worry. I’ll tell you when to start.” She pushed the remote into Esther’s hand, resting her thumb against the control panel. “Up and down control speed. Left and right will switch up the pattern. Got it?”

Esther nodded again.

“Good. Did you want to give yourself a little speed?” She placed the vibrator on Esther’s sternum, waiting until it started before working it over to circle one nipple and then the other. Esther took a stuttering gasp and her chest rose from the bed. Ashley worked the wand lower, circling Esther’s navel then her inner thighs.

When Esther pulled at her binds, Ashley put a hand on her chest, gently pressing Esther to the bed.

“Shh, just relax.” Ashley repositioned herself lower on the bed so her arm with the vibrator rested across Esther’s stomach, restricting Esther’s movement and giving Ashley a prime view of what she was working with. Her free hand snaked under Esther’sthigh and up to slide through her luxurious wetness. Esther was squirming and pinching her mouth shut, holding back the full sound that Ashley was determined to draw from her. When Ashley’s fingers were good and wet, she trailed one down the valley of Esther’s ass, circling in time with the vibrator around her clit.

“Ashley, I-I’m so close.”

“That’s right, sweetheart. Let go.” She kissed the dip at Esther’s hip as Esther’s moaning grew and her hips bucked and Ashley continued circling, drawing out Esther’s climax.

“Ashley.” Esther’s voice was so soft and sweet, Ashley’s heart melted just hearing her name.

“I’m right here, sweetheart.” She shifted up the bed alongside Esther, her hand caressing Esther’s cheek and petting down her side. Ashley was still in her pajamas, making Esther’s nakedness an extra treat. “That was beautiful.”

But Esther continued to fidget in the binds. Her eyes trailed down Ashley’s body. “I want to taste you.”

“Is that right?” She stood from the bed and pulled down her pajama shorts and underwear in one tug. Her long T-shirt fell to the top of her thighs. She crawled onto the bed and threw a leg over Esther’s waist, making small circles with her hip and enjoying the heat of Esther’s body against her most sensitive skin. God, she missed this warmth. “You’re going to have to ask nicely to get this pussy.”

“Please.” Esther’s words came out in a desperate whisper. “I want to taste you. I want you to come on my face.”
