Page 77 of Promises We Meant to Keep

This was how she wanted it. Face to face—intimate—raw. Climbing onto the bed, Kamryn knelt over Elia on all fours. She bent down, connecting their lips in yet another kiss before she dropped her weight down into the cradle of Elia’s body.

“Touch me,” Kamryn said. “Same way I’m touching you.”

Moving just enough to get her hand between them, Kamryn slid her fingers firmly across Elia’s chest again. Her nipples were still hard, and she palmed Elia’s breast tightly. Elia gasped, but she finally lifted her hand to touch Kamryn in the exact same way, mirroring Kamryn’s touches.

Kamryn held herself up with one hand as she fluttered her fingers down Elia’s side to her hip, across the front of her abdomen and then back again. Elia’s hand wasn’t much behind hers as they moved. Kamryn smiled down at Elia, settling into the pacing and the touching.

“I’m here for you, you know that, right?” Kamryn kissed Elia’s cheek, closing her eyes and listening to the change in Elia’s breathing. “Don’t shut me out.”

Elia put her hand behind Kamryn’s head and pulled her down, kissing her feverishly. She said nothing in response, but Kamryn hoped that with that kind of reaction, Elia had at least heard and felt the sentiment that Kamryn was trying to give her.

“Are you ready?” Kamryn asked.

Elia nodded.

Moving her hand farther down, Kamryn pressed her fingers between Elia’s legs. Elia did the same to her. Together they touched each other, first running two fingers across their swollen lips, then inside. Kamryn dipped her fingers into Elia’s juices, always amazed that Elia would have this reaction to her. That someone this amazing would be interested in her.

“Don’t stop touching me,” Kamryn whispered into Elia’s ear. “No matter what.”

Elia nodded, biting her lip as she mimicked Kamryn’s touches. Kamryn’s fingers slid up to Elia’s clit. Elia’s cheeks tightened for a brief moment before they relaxed.

“Sensitive tonight?” Kamryn asked.

“Yesssss,” Elia hissed back. That was probably a good thing. Kamryn was going to use it to her advantage at least. Especiallybecause she wasn’t as obviously sensitive as Elia was. “Yes,” Elia said again, this time the word floating off into the air between them.

“Elia…” Kamryn breathed her name, wanting it to become the only thing she said tonight. Her name felt so good rolling off her tongue, the natural tone to it, the rhythm of the word as her tongue rolled on the ‘l’. “Elia,” she said again.

“Kam,” Elia responded.

Kamryn couldn’t stop the grin that lit up her face. They were absolutely lost in one another. Sliding two fingers inside Elia, Kamryn held her close. Seconds later, Elia mimicked Kamryn’s touch. This was going to go perfectly—it had to. Kamryn bent her fingers, pulsing gently against Elia.

The groan Kamryn received in response was exactly what she’d been looking for. And when Elia got her brain together enough to do it on Kamryn, she didn’t disappoint. Dropping her head onto Elia’s shoulder, Kamryn used what was left of her concentration to keep herself somewhat upright and in the right position for this to happen.

She pumped her fingers—once, twice, three times. Kamryn pressed a kiss into Elia’s shoulder before parting her lips and sucking at the skin at the base of Elia’s neck, swirling her tongue in response. Elia lifted her hips up, straining to keep her body still.

“Let go if you’re ready,” Kamryn said against Elia’s skin before she went back to sucking and teasing.

“So close, Kam.”

“Then hold on a little longer.” Kamryn wasn’t anywhere near ready, but having Elia’s hand between her legs still felt amazing. She focused her energy on what she was doing, on the way that Elia was struggling to follow the rhythm now, on the fact that Elia’s body was twitching and jerking and moving out of her control.

“Kam!”

“I’ve got you,” Kamryn said, holding tightly to Elia. She kept the movement going, even as Elia pulsed around her, as her breathing increased and then slowed, as her body tightened and then relaxed. Kamryn stayed right where she was, making sure that they were together through every part of this from beginning to end.

“Turn over,” Elia said, her senses coming back to her.

Kamryn did as she was told, moving to lie on her back with her knees spread. Elia slid down her body, kissing her way in an aimless direction from Kamryn’s mouth, across her breasts, and over her stomach. Her hair tickled as it followed the path of Elia’s kisses. Smiling to herself, Kamryn brushed Elia’s hair to the side so she could see her face and the intense look that Elia gave her in response.

“What are you going to do next?” Kamryn asked, a tease in her tone that she hadn’t known she was capable of that night, but she was glad to hear it. She was far more at ease now than she had been earlier. This had been exactly what they both needed. Time where it was just the two of them and no one else to ruin it for them.

“Wouldn’t you like to know?” Elia moved to the side, scraping her teeth along the top of Kamryn’s hip and toward her belly button.

Kamryn cried out, her hips jerking instantly from the touch. She hadn’t expected that move, not at all. She curled her fingers into the sheets, gripping onto them to hold herself right where she needed to be so that Elia could do anything she wanted.

“Did you like that?” Elia asked, looking directly up into Kamryn’s gaze.

“Yes. A lot.”
