Page 112 of Promises We Meant to Keep

“And don’t think that I’m alone in a fight for my livelihood when I really do have allies all around me. If I’d only just ask for help.” Kamryn held Elia by her hips, ready to flip them over so that she was on top.

“Ouch,” Elia answered, but she was smiling just the same.

“You have a whole team of faculty that’s behind you, who are willing to risk their own careers for you.” Kamryn slid her fingers into the elastic of Elia’s panties. “Don’t you know how loved and revered you are?”

“By you? Or by the faculty and staff?”

“Us and more.” Kamryn pulled Elia’s panties down as much as she could, revealing the little bit of hair between her legs. Ideas worked their way into Kamryn’s mind, how she was going to go about continuing what they’d started. “But I’m ready to worship your body, that’s for certain.”

Elia hummed that knowing hum before she took Kamryn’s mouth with her own and moved her hips out of Kamryn’s reach in one swift move. Kamryn grunted her disappointment until Elia parted Kamryn’s knees with a sure hand. Kamryn let her, locking her gaze on Elia’s face and grinning when Elia looked directly back up at her.

Where the hell had all this energy come from? Kamryn had needed it hours ago, not now. Although she’d take it now for sure. She threw her hands above her head, gripping onto her pillow as she waited for Elia’s next move.

She started with kisses, soft gentle ones, against Kamryn’s hips and then the inside of her thighs. Kamryn struggled tostay still and let Elia do whatever she wanted. Because she wanted Elia’s mouth against her immediately. She didn’t have the wherewithal to wait any longer, not after the desert they’d just come out of.

“What are you thinking?” Elia asked.

“What? Why?” Kamryn winced at her tone.

“Because the look that just crossed your face was…interesting. And I’m not sure what it meant.” Elia put the flat of her tongue against Kamryn’s skin, licking her inner thigh firmly.

Kamryn groaned, her eyes fluttering shut as she could just imagine what Elia was going to do with that tongue next. God, she’d never wanted to be touched this much before. She’d never truly understood just what it meant to beg to be touched, but she got it now.

“Kam,” Elia said before licking her inner thigh again. “What were you thinking?”

“That this might be the best sex I’ve ever had, and we haven’t even gotten to the main show yet.” Where had those words come from? Kamryn chuckled nervously while Elia cocked her head to the side.

“Best sex?” Elia asked.

“Uh… yeah. I mean, if we get to that portion of the night.” Now Kamryn felt awkward and useless. She’d ruined everything they’d been going for, hadn’t she?

Elia grinned before she licked her lips and shook her head. “It’s good because it means something, don’t you think?”

“Uh huh,” Kamryn readily agreed. “But are we going to… move on? I’m not sure how much energy I have left for staying awake.”

“Message heard.” Elia moved back down, once again pressing gentle kisses to Kamryn’s skin.

She worked her way closer and closer to where Kamryn wanted her. As soon as Elia’s lips covered her clit, Kamrynsighed. She closed her eyes, tilting her head up and focusing only on the sensation of Elia’s mouth against her, the flick of her tongue, the licks, the sucks, the slow pattern that she finally started as soon as she stopped exploring.

Kamryn slowed her breathing, resting into the touches and feelings that were rolling through her body. Elia was so good at this, at finding exactly what Kamryn needed in these moments and delivering on them. Kamryn tightened her muscles, she prepared her body for the pleasure she knew was going to surge through her, and the inevitable rush of heat that would overtake her. But she knew without a doubt that Elia would be there with her through it all, that she would soothe and touch and taste and continue to care for Kamryn every second of the way.

And when she crashed through her orgasm, Elia did exactly that. She ran her fingers along Kamryn’s thighs, she slowed the flicks of her tongue, she tasted Kamryn’s juices, swallowing them and taking as much of her on her tongue as she possibly could. Kamryn beckoned Elia up with a wave of her hands.

Elia crawled up the bed, sliding against Kamryn’s side so they could kiss. Her lips were still damp, and Kamryn loved the sensations of hot and cold that it brought. She deepened the embrace, moving her hand down Elia, to her hip and back up again to tangle her fingers in Elia’s hair.

“I love you,” Kamryn whispered again. “But take this fucking thing off already.” She plucked at the strap of Elia’s bra before palming her ass and pulling her in closer. As much as Kamryn wanted Elia naked and next to her, she wasn’t sure she wanted to give Elia the space to do that.

Elia reached behind her and snapped the clasp of her bra. But she didn’t move very swiftly to divest herself of the fabric. Was she feeling the same way? Kamryn started to push Elia’s panties down with her hand, at least what she could manage in the positions they were in. She didn’t want to stop kissing Elia.She didn’t want to stop touching her. She wanted to stay right here and never go back to where they were that afternoon.

Elia finally sat up and pulled the rest of her clothes off. As soon as she was free from them, Kamryn pulled her back down and kissed her.

“I didn’t think you’d want to talk to me again after this afternoon,” Kamryn said, still worried about how everything had happened. She could have done such a better job of explaining and holding that tension.

“I didn’t really want to talk to you again,” Elia answered but kissed her anyway. “Not until I got some answers anyway.”

“I’m really sorry about that.”

“Seems it won’t be too much of an issue any longer since you won’t be my boss anymore. Hmm?”
