She looked over her shoulder to find Lindsey crossing the road.
“Hey, lovebirds!” Lindsey’s cheeks were rosy as she smiled at them. “Were you showing Riley the house?”
“Yes, we were just out for a walk and—”
“And?” Lindsey asked eagerly, fixated on Riley. “What do you think?”
Riley bit her lip, suppressing a grin. “I…uhm…I think it’s beautiful.” She was blushing and avoiding Lindsey’s gaze, focusing on her feet.
“See? I told you she’d love it.” Lindsey turned to Quinn, clearly clueless to the fact that she’d just interrupted a very personal conversation. “Have you thought about it? It’s going on the market in three days, so you’d better make up your mind.”
Quinn shook her head. “It’s not for me, but someone will love this home very much.”
“Right.” Lindsey looked puzzled. “Are you sure? It would be so perfect for you.”
“I’m sure. But thank you for showing it to me; I appreciate it. By the way, I saw you at the bakery with Martin. Did your date ever turn up?” Quinn asked, changing the subject. “Was he real?”
“No, he wasn’t who he said he was.” Lindsey crossed her arms. “But it’s fine. At least I know now.”
“I’m sorry, babe.” Quinn pulled Lindsey into a hug. “Are you okay?” She had a feeling Lindsey was hiding something. “Would you like to come for some food with us? We were thinking about having pizza.”
Lindsey hesitated. She was obsessed with food and generally suffered from fear of missing out, so the fact she even had to think about it was suspicious. “Okay, why not?” she finally said. “As long as we don’t talk about Marcellus. I just want to forget about him.”

RILEY
“Thank you so much for your help today.” Riley rinsed the last paintbrush, wound some plastic wrap around the bristles, and threw it into the bucket on the kitchen counter. “I’m so relieved it’s all ready. I’ve been nervous about seeing my sister again. At least their rooms are one thing less to worry about, and with two more weeks to spare, I might even have time to spruce up the kitchen.”
“Anytime, babe.” Quinn wrapped her arms around Riley from behind and kissed her neck. “I want you to have a good time with them. They’re going to love it here.” Her lips traveled down to Riley’s shoulder, and she tightened her grip, splaying her fingers wide over Riley’s ribcage.
Riley shivered as Quinn brought her mouth to her ear and bit her lobe. “You drive me crazy when you do that. It’s…mmm…” Her voice trailed away as Quinn lowered a hand to her behind and squeezed it hard. “It’s so sexy.”
“I’ll show you sexy,” Quinn whispered, slipping her hand into Riley’s jersey hotpants. “You drivemecrazy when you’re wearing skimpy outfits. I’ve been fantasizing about bending you over this counter all day.”
“Oh yeah?” Riley moaned as she pressed her behind against Quinn’s pelvis. The warm hand that wandered lower set her on fire, and she was wet and throbbing with anticipation. Doing up the rooms together had been fun, but Quinn’s strong arms had been terribly distracting as she assembled her sister’s bed, the flex of muscles under smooth skin fully visible with her dressed in a white tank top and jeans. Knowing Quinn appreciated her skin on display, Riley had worn hotpants and a loose jersey sweater that hung off one shoulder. The whole day had been a string of flirtations and make-out sessions in between painting and decorating, and by now, she was so fired up she thought she might burst if Quinn touched her where she needed it most. “What’s been stopping you?” she asked in a breathy voice.
“I’m asking myself that same question.” Quinn ran a hand up and down Riley’s back as she pushed her over the counter. Her touch was gentle but firm, and it made Riley’s knees weak. Quinn was assertive, in charge and confident in a way she’d never known with her lovers, and that drove her wild as Quinn took her hands and placed them on the counter.
“Keep them there. I love it when you bend over,” she said. “Your ass is just exquisite.” Riley felt movement against her ear, and she knew Quinn was smiling. “What do you want? Slow and gentle or fast and hard?”
Riley closed her eyes and moaned at her words. “Fast and—” She gasped when Quinn’s hand slipped into her shorts again without warning, this time from behind. Entering her slowly at first with two fingers, Quinn sighed.
“You’re so incredibly wet, Riley. Is that for me?”
“Uh-huh.” Riley moaned as Quinn’s fingers filled her, then withdrew before she started fucking her. With deep and deliberate thrusts, Quinn pushed herself against Riley while she wedged her other hand underneath her top and bra to caress her breasts.
“Is that good?” she asked, pinching her nipple.
“Yes… Ahh…” Riley didn’t know what to do with herself as she felt Quinn’s fingers filling her over and over, and already, something big was building. “Don’t stop,” she pleaded while her nails scraped over the wooden surface. She lowered her forehead onto the counter and clenched her teeth as Quinn moved her hand down to her clit while she penetrated her from behind. It was carnal desire in its purest form, and the need for release was tugging at her as she pushed back against Quinn’s fingers, her moans growing louder and louder.
“Come for me, baby.” Bending over her and scraping her teeth over the sensitive skin of Riley’s neck, Quinn pushed deeper and curled her fingers when Riley’s breaths became heavy and ragged.
Riley’s core tightened, and she shut her eyes as she crashed into an explosive orgasm. Knowing she was too weak to stand, Quinn held her up as she trembled in her arms. She brushed her lips along Riley’s neck, cupped her chin, and turned her face to place soft kisses on her temple and her cheek.
“Good call on the counter,” Riley said with a chuckle, rubbing her cheek against Quinn’s as she caught her breath. She was flushed and buzzing and shuddering from the aftershocks. Only Quinn could do this to her, make her feel like the entire world revolved around them. She gasped when Quinn pulled out of her and caressed her behind. Turning them around and pushing Quinn against the counter, Riley went down on her knees and started unbuttoning Quinn’s fly. “I think you’ll like the counter too.”
Quinn groaned when Riley tugged her jeans and her boxers down in one quick motion. “Oh my… Wait!”
