Asher looked down, noticing that Linden’s hands had moved to her own underwear. Linden was asking her if she could take them off. Asher nodded again because she’d long ago lost the ability to form words. Slowly, Linden removed her panties and stared at Asher’s center until the panties were somewhere on the bed. Then, without words, she climbed back on top of Asher, connected their lips, and pressed into her for the first time with nothing between them. Asher could feel her now. Linden was wet, and Asher could feel Linden’s wetness mix with her own desire for her.

“Slow?” Linden asked before she sucked on Asher’s lip, making it difficult for Asher to reply until she let it go.

“Yes,” she said.

Linden gave her a small nod, and her hand slid between them until her fingers were dancing between Asher’s thighs.

“Shit,” Asher said unexpectedly.

Linden waited, but when Asher didn’t say anything else and didn’t move to stop her, she dragged two fingers through Asher’s wetness, causing Asher to close her eyes at the sensation.

“Open them, please,” Linden requested. “I want to see you.”

Asher opened her eyes but wasn’t sure how long she’d be able to keep them that way. Linden looked down at her as her fingers lowered and slowly pushed inside, causing Asher’s eyes to go wide.

“Oh, wow,” she said softly.

Linden smiled down at her and began to move inside. Asher adjusted to her fingers and let Linden go deeper still as Linden rocked into her, keeping their eyes connected.

“I never thought…”

“What?” Asher asked.

“Ten years ago, when I first saw you…” Linden said, pressing their foreheads together. “That I’d have this.”

Asher’s hands went to the back of Linden’s head and held her there while they moved together.

“Thisfeels so good,” she said about all of it; Linden being on top of her, Asher holding her there, the fingers currently moving inside her, and the fact that they were doing this together.

Linden was her first now, and that mattered. Asher never wanted another. Then, Linden’s thumb pressed into her clit, and Asher had to close her eyes. Linden’s mouth moved to her neck, and she kissed and licked at Asher’s skin while she moved inside her, curling her fingers a few times until Asher’s hips lifted off the bed and fell back down.

“So sexy,” Linden said. “Let go, Ash. Let go whenever you want. I’ll be right here.”

The practical part of Asher’s brain wanted to say that, of course, Linden would be right there. Linden was the one bringing her this intense pleasure. But the other part of her brain, the part that was in control right now, was too focused on the feeling of being filled by Linden and how she was about to come.

“I’m…”

“Yes,” Linden whispered into her ear. “Please.”

Asher felt every muscle in her body tense all at once. The tingle that had started minutes ago took over completely now, and when Linden thrust deep, Asher bit her lower lip and held on to it because she was coming. Linden kissed her through her orgasm and let her come down all the way before she stopped her fingers but stayed inside her, her forehead pressing to Asher’s.

Asher couldn’t move even if she wanted to. Her body was so perfectly relaxed; she never wanted to leave this spot because she’d just made love with her best friend for the first time, and it had been even better than she’d allowed herself to imagine.

“Ash?” Linden asked as she pushed the hair away from Asher’s face.

Asher tried to focus her eyes on Linden’s.

“I–” Linden stopped.

Asher knew what Linden was about to say, but she also understood why she didn’t say it just yet.

“I don’t want tonotbe inside you,” Linden said instead.

Asher smiled up at her.

CHAPTER 30

Linden couldn’t believe that she was inside Asher. Her fingers were no longer moving in an attempt to make Asher come, but they were still inside her, feeling the warmth of her and the softness. There was nothing like this feeling in the world. She knew that now. Linden could’ve gone another few years of just having sex with first and second dates, but it never would’ve felt as good as this did. Asher’s hand was on her cheek. Her other one was on Linden’s back, running up and down it while her eyes were closed, her cheeks flushed from her orgasm. Asher looked happy in a way that Linden hadn’t ever seen her before, and she’d been the one to do that to her.
