Suddenly, the sugar from the bingsu isn’t the only thing giving me a high. My heart beats faster and louder, so much that I wonder if Celeste can hear it, too. She says something else, and it takes me a moment to process her words.

My voice comes out breathy and quiet when I ask, “Wait, what?”

“I said, do you want to go back to my place?” she repeats herself, flashing me an amused grin.

“Oh, God, yes,” I say. “I’m so turned on right now.”

Celeste smiles and gives me a peck on the lips. “Okay, let’s go.”

On our way back to her place, I send my friends a text:So, Celeste and I agreed to be in a casual relationship together. Like, officially.

Kiara is the first to reply.I KNEW you two wouldn’t be able to stay professional for long!

“Casual”?Val asks.And how are you feeling about that?

Good, actually!I reply.Taking your advice from way back when to let things flow the way they’re going.

Val sends back a thumbs-up that makes me giggle. She even texts like a Boomer sometimes.

Have fun and have lots of sex!Kiara replies.Don’t come back home tonight! K THANKS LOVE YOU BYE!!!!

Val sends a stream of crying-while-laughing emojis, and I grin.

Celeste and I barely make it back to her place before we start taking each other’s clothes off. She still tastes sugary-sweet from the dessert, so I can’t keep my mouth off hers as we move to her bed.

Celeste puts a pillow under my pelvis, propping me up before running her hands up my legs and around my hips. My back arches when her mouth finds my center, and she chuckles as my breaths come out in light gasps.

“Yes,” I murmur. “Just like that.”

She reaches up to cup my breasts, massaging them as her tongue flicks at my core. Heat builds up in my center, and I’m about to come when she suddenly sits up.

“Wha—” But before I can say anything else, she’s sucking on my nipples, making shivers run down my spine. Sheleaves a trail of kisses from my chest to the folds between my legs.

I’m writhing now, breathless moans coming out of my mouth as her tongue swirls and licks at my clit.

“You always taste so good,” Celeste says as she readjusts her grip on my hips.

“Don’t stop. I’m so close.”

Celeste inserts a finger into me, then two, keeping pace with the flicks of her tongue. All the pleasure that’s built up inside me explodes into my release. When I catch my breath, an idea pops into my head. It’s not something I’msuperconfident about doing, but I want to try it, regardless.

My voice comes out in a whisper when I say, “Celeste, I want to taste you.”

Celeste blinks up at Gemma, her thoughts whirring as she processes her words. “You do?”

“Yeah. I never got the chance before we…” Gemma trails off and bites her lip, and Celeste’s heart beats faster from how adorable she looks. “I’ve always wanted to, but back in college, I was too intimidated to try. And if I’m being honest, I’m still scared. Fingers, I could figure out. But my mouth? I don’t know.”

Celeste gently kisses Gemma on her forehead. “Why don’t you just try it, then? If you want me to, I can let you know how you’re doing and guide you through it.”

Gemma’s eyes widen, her breaths noticeably quickening.

“I don’t expect you to be amazing, Gem,” Celeste reassures her. “So don’t worry. And I really do want this. Just talking about it is making me wet again.”

A smile finally returns to Gemma’s lips. “Okay, I’ll try it.”

At first, she’s too eager, the movements of her tongue rough and hard.

“Easy,” Celeste hisses, gently running her fingers through Gemma’s long hair before gathering it up with her hands. “Try a bit less pressure. Also, next time, we should have a hair tie ready for you.”
