“Yes,” Asher replied as she turned toward Linden as if to ask her a silent question.

“I just came out,” Linden added with a shrug. “We’re celebrating.”

“Came out, came out?” Bryce asked.

“Yep. Totally gay,” Linden confirmed. “It took me thirty-five years to say it out loud to the people I love, but I finally did it, and Ash brought me for drinks to celebrate.” She held up her cup.

“Congratulations,” Sophie said, trying to participate in the conversation.

“That’s great,” Kyle added.

Bryce nodded, and Melinda went to say something to congratulate her, too, but Sophie wasn’t paying much attention anymore. She was back to leaning into Bryce and trying to soak up every physical touch she could get while Bryce was still in town.

“You all want to hang out with us?” Linden asked.

Her blonde hair was short and behind her ears, but if it was in front of them, it would probably fall just below them. There didn’t appear to be much product in it, but it still stayed put, and her blue eyes were darker than Asher’s, but Sophie thought they were still bright, like she was happy about something. Maybe being out of the closet did that to blue eyes. She didn’t know.

“Can we go?” she whispered to Bryce.

Bryce nodded before she turned to everyone and said, “I think we’re going to head home. It was nice meeting you two, though.”

“You sure?” Melinda asked.

“They’re sure, babe,” Kyle answered for them with a wink in Sophie’s direction.

“We’ll see you later. Nice meeting you two,” Sophie said and waved.

She pulled Bryce through the crowded bar, onto the equally crowded street, and around a corner until they could finally walk side by side.

“You wanted us to have some alone time, I take it?” Bryce said.

“Is that okay?”

“Of course, it’s okay. I’m here foryou, Soph. Let’s go home, and I’ll make you that hot chocolate you showed me how to make this morning. Extra mini marshmallows?”

“That sounds nice,” she said. “Wait…”

“What?”

Sophie stopped walking and said, “I think we just left Jill in the bar, waiting for all four of us to come back to our drinks. We’re horrible people.”

Bryce laughed.

“I’ll text her,” Sophie added, shaking her head.

CHAPTER 30

“God!” Sophie screamed.

Yes, it was definitely a scream. Bryce was rocking into her, strapped-on and nearly coming herself after bringing Sophie to her second orgasm that morning. Her first had come from Bryce’s mouth. Then, she’d gotten up, found what she needed, and climbed back on top of her girlfriend. Moving inside Sophie like this while she came herself was one of the best feelings Bryce knew she’d ever experienced. The fact that Sophie agreed with her on that front only made it better.

“Did you?” Sophie checked when Bryce finally crashed down on top of her, still and gathering her breath.

“Yeah,” she replied against Sophie’s neck.

“Will you stay where you are for a few minutes?”

“You think you can come again?”
