That hand of hers pulled Jade forward, and the closer she got, the farther Franny moved until she was lying down on the bed again.

“Now come sit on me. I want to see how beautiful you are from down here.”

Jade didn’t need any more urging; she felt in tune with Franny now. She may not have known exactly what the other woman was thinking, but she knew enough to understand that when she clambered up the bed, it was Franny’s face she was meant to park herself on rather than her lap.

She hissed as Franny wasted no time using her fingers to spread her pussy open, laving her tongue over Jade’s pulsing, wet clit.

“Oh God…” Jade’s hands went into Franny’s hair, gripping the soft raven locks just enough to spur her on but not hurt her. “That feels so fucking good, Francesca.”

Underneath her, Franny reacted with grunts and hums that only made the feeling of her mouth more intense. A quick slap to Jade’s round ass almost shocked her into orgasm—almost.

“Fuck my face.” The words were muffled between her thighs but clear as day. “Work that pussy against me. Use me.”

Jade’s hips started moving in a steady rhythm. Unabashed and joyous, she threw her head back and wailed. Thankful, not for the first time, that she didn’t share walls with anyone, because the sounds of their sex were too hot to ignore. Grunts and moans, the slick slide of her pussy, even the sound of the bed frame gently beating against the wall. They were all reminders that she was there, that this was real.

Her belly coiled up tightly; something wound itself around every single one of her organs and squeezed until it felt like there was no air left in her lungs. It would be so easy to let go, to release and fall, tumbling down that hill until she found her bliss. But she didn’t want that, not yet. She wanted to draw it out, make the pleasure last. Honestly, she never wanted it to stop. But from the ferocious way Franny was eating her out, the other woman seemed hell-bent on squeezing the nut out of her.

“Stop,” Jade panted. “Hold on, hold on.”

Franny pulled back immediately, and Jade moved down just a bit until she was sitting on her chest.

“What’s wrong?” Franny looked up at her, that lovely gaze full of worry. “Did I do something?”

Jade shook her head. “I don’t want to come yet.”

“I can give you as many as you want. You know that, right? We don’t have to stop.”

“I know.” Jade leaned down and pressed a sloppy kiss to Franny’s lips, tasting herself. “I just can’t stand not being able to touch you for so long.”

Franny swallowed. “I’m right here. You can touch me all you want.”

“I won’t want to stop, Francesca.”

“So don’t.”

Do you think it’ll be weird if we show up together?” Franny asked.

“Maybe.” She felt Jade shrug. “But who gives a shit. What we’re doing isn’t nearly as messy as half the shit our coworkers get up to.”

“Fair enough. I just… I don’t want other people’s reactions to spook you.”

“It’s not like we’re going to have sex on top of the truck.”

“You know what I mean, goofy.”

They were in bed, naked and entwined, legs tangled and bodies warm, the soft first light of dawn shining through the white eyelet curtains of Jade’s bedroom window. Franny tucked her head farther underneath Jade’s chin, planting a small kiss at the hollow to signify her affection. Jade’s arms tightened around her in response. Her brown skin was still sleep-warm and free of any type of perfume. Just clean sweat and eau de Jade. It was an addictive thing to take in, and Franny never wanted to be without the comfort of it. Not now that she’d grown accustomed.

It was the first day of school for all K–12 students in Greenbelt’s public school system. They had a few spare minutes to lie with each other before they were forced to get up and take the world on. Franny closed her eyes, imagining the noise and hustle that was tocome compared to this peacefulness. She didn’t want to give it up, not yet—not ever.

“They won’t spook me. They can’t. The only thing that spooks me now is fucking this up,” Jade said.

The two had hardly left each other’s side for a week and a half. The day after their date, they’d split long enough for Franny to go grab some essentials from her apartment and book it back to Jade’s. They’d had five football practices in the time between, and each one they’d shown up to in separate cars, pretending like nothing between them had changed.

Generally, that wasn’t so difficult. Tensions were high on the team with them being so close to their first official game of the season. And both she and Jade were firmly entrenched in the roles they played in getting their win and kicking the season off on a high note.

Of course, there were also their personal ambitions…
