Giana with wide blue eyes that had gone wild with blown-out
 
 pupils. “You’ve done everything to me. You’ve even
 
 blindfolded me.”
 
 “I could be so much more inventive.” There was, in reality,
 
 a thousand things they hadn’t done. Probably a hundred
 
 thousand. So many more.
 
 Coralyn raked her fingers through Giana’s hair, pulling the
 
 strands roughly from the tight twist at the back of her head,
 
 sending pins plinking all over the stairs. “Only if it’s with
 
 you.” She dragged Giana’s face to hers and allowed her to
 
 plunder her lips.
 
 She kissed her so hard that Coralyn’s head would have been
 
 ground into the stairs if she didn’t slide her hand back to
 
 protect her there. Her hips rode up, begging already. She
 
 moaned as Giana scraped her teeth along her lower lip. She
 
 ran her tongue over the sting, then she licked Giana back, a
 
 little more forcefully, a little more daring. Her hands tugged at
 
 Giana’s blouse, tugged at the seams, trying to tear open the
 
 buttons. It was expensive and well made and Coralyn wasn’t at
 
 the right angle.
 
 She was desper
 
 ate though. She wasn’t shy and withering
 
 and hiding anymore. Giana had been the one to initiate her
 
 into that pleasure, to draw that out of her, and the thought of
 
 Coralyn knowing it and always knowing it, even after their
 
 time together was over, made something primal leap in
 
 Giana’s chest. The thought of what came after, someone else
 
 touching Coralyn, made her want to roar. She kissed her hard,
 
 with far more intensity, with something that bordered on
 
 obsession and even eagerness.
