Page 71 of Love Is…?

“Oh, yessss,” she hissed. Her hands roamed, smoothing a path from Jayde’s shoulders, to her chest, then letting her fingers dance across the tops and sides of Jayde’s breasts, eventually flicking her thumbs over the prominent hard nipples, jutting against the material of her shirt.

Jayde groaned, the sound long and low and sexy.

More flames. More heat.

Jayde then shuffled her fingers to the side of Tessa’s dress, and looked into her eyes.

“Yes?” Jayde said huskily, her voice filled with hope.

Tessa nodded. “Yes.”

Slowly, Jayde slid the zipper down, her eyes ablaze with desire, and Tessa shimmied out of the dress, laying it on the end of the bed. A fleeting stab of vulnerability whisked through her stomach as Jayde stepped back, quickly removed her outer clothing, then moved forward to kiss Tessa’s lips, her jaw line, her throat. Then Jayde held her at arm’s length. “You are absolutely gorgeous.”

The compliment settled Tessa's nerves. She raked her gaze across, up, down, all over Jayde’s body. What a sight. Tessa softly exhaled through a smile, like her lungs were appreciating the goddess standing in front of them. She couldn’t take her eyes off Jayde, at the red underwear stark against her tanned skin.

“Well, you are simply stunning, Jayde Ferguson, and I want to lie down with you.”

Jayde grinned in delight, her eyes a galaxy of stars. Tessa decided her soft pink bra and panties were not nearly as sexy as Jayde’s fire engine red, so quickly removed them from thesituation, throwing the items onto the bureau. She lay on the bed, relishing the way Jayde seemed to have been struck still, bottom lip sucked in under her top teeth. Then Jayde snapped out of her reverie, whipped off her underwear, and crawled up the bed, her gaze predatory, yet safe; a fact Tessa’s brain registered as rather interesting. Jayde kissed her way along Tessa’s skin, lightly touching down like a sun shower.

Tessa arched her back. “Oh God, Jayde.”

Jayde’s face appeared in Tessa’s line of sight.

They stared at each other in wonder.

“Hi, gorgeous,” Jayde whispered, and Tessa shivered because the greeting was accompanied by Jayde’s fingers plucking at her nipples, skating across her chest, sliding up her neck, and running delicately across her eyebrows, her cheekbones.

“Hi to you, even more gorgeous.” The incredulous smile remained on Tessa’s mouth, as Jayde continued to strum Tessa’s nipples, kiss her chest, her lips. Tessa wove her fingers through Jayde’s hair, teasing the long strands, ran her hands down Jayde’s back, then drew her fingers back up, lightly scratching her nails along the skin.

That seemed to hit a rather important spot, because Jayde arched her body and moaned.

“Tesssss. Oh, God, do that again,” she hissed, her eyes fluttering closed.

Tessa watched Jayde’s face, mouth slack, eyes closed, and decided she’d never seen anything so sexy. Jayde needed to know.

“You are so goddamn sexy,” Tessa breathed, and she rested her fingertips at Jayde’s shoulder blades as Jayde opened her eyes. Impossibly, Jayde’s eyes were darker. Dark like midnight, and radiating arousal, and Tessa knew without a doubt that the same emotion was reflected in her own eyes.

She held the sides of Jayde’s head, drew her head down, and kissed her mouth lightly again, and again. Then their lips parted, tongues touched, and rolled, and twisted, and those dips and tugs in her stomach engulfed her entire body. Jayde tasted like sugar and possibilities, and Tessa wanted to savour her forever. Mutual groans filled the air as their kissing grew more frantic, and Tessa could feel the heaviness at her sex, her clit pulsing, her veins vibrating with lust, her body a rubber band stretched, waiting for the ultimate release. So, when Jayde broke the kiss, lay over Tessa, braced on her elbows, and pressed her thigh to Tessa’s clit, Tessa nearly levitated off the bed.

“Oh, Jesus Christ!”

Jayde grinned. “You are so goddamn sexy as well. I want to kiss you everywhere.” Her eyes hooded, her smile in safe predator mode. “Everywhere.”

“Everywhere?” Tessa murmured. Without breaking eye contact, she found Jayde’s nipples—puckered and alert—then watched in fascination as Jayde’s skin goosebumped and her body shuddered. “Like there?”

“God, yes. Like there.” More unwavering eye contact, then Jayde slid a hand down Tessa’s torso, detouring via her nipples, which made Tessa hiss and shiver, then Jayde, after a slight shift of her pelvis, traced a line through Tessa’s pubic hair, stopping at the very top of her clitoris then brushing across the shaft with the barest of touches.

A low moan of desire fell from Tessa’s throat. She was on fire.

She didn’t think she’d ever heard herself make such a noise. Again, Jayde pressed her finger to the shaft of Tessa’s clit. The very top. Then she slid her finger over and back. Over and back, which made Tessa grab a fistful of the bed sheet as the tension slowly, slowly increased, and she could feel a tightening low in her stomach, at her pelvis, in her toes which were curling with pre-orgasmic delight.

“Jayde, yes. Oh, yes.” A sort of whisper-groan combination, which Jayde definitely enjoyed because, while she continued her sweeps and presses, she licked and nibbled at Tessa’s ear, whispering words that included ‘sexy’ and ‘yes’ and ‘gorgeous’, and Tessa was ablaze with lust.

Suddenly, completely uninvited, her brain interrupted the situation, elbowing Tessa’s lust out of the way. This was all too fast, it said. You can’t be having sex already. Jayde was probably about to make a move, it sneered. Maybe she’d ask to go inside. She’d think you much too tame for really good sex. Proper sex. Everyone else had thought that. Jayde would think Tessa so unbelievably vanilla that she’d give up. Hardly worth the time, really. Tessa’s brain nodded emphatically at its words, reminding her of nearly every sexual experience in Tessa’s decade of not-many and not-much sex and how unsatisfying they’d all been.

She decided to pre-empt the mutual mortification.

“Jayde,” Tessa said, her tone suddenly not at all laden with desire.
