The laugh wasn’t enough to break the tension, but it did seem to coax it out of its hiding place.

Hanna thought of the two women they’d seen earlier, and the exchanges she and Maya had watched between Lily and the redhead (who sheknewLily had a thing for). It had looked intense in a way that suggested more than a fling had happened. Was it still happening? Was that why Lily has brought them up here? As a fun distraction, a sure bet with two women she’d already slept with? Hanna also couldn’t help the way she felt Mayafitwith the two women they’d met earlier that day. Both were cool and collected, confident and sexy. Maybe that was Lily’s type, and the only way Lily thought she could get Maya on this trip was the way she had before: with Hanna in tow.

“I can practically hear the wheels turning in there,” Maya said, stepping to Hanna and sliding a thumb between her pinched brows. Hanna relaxed them and looked up at Maya, who had a careful and thoughtful expression on her face. Hanna reached for her hand and squeezed it.

“You ok?” Maya asked quietly, but it felt like an assertion,you’re ok, and she squeezed Hanna’s hand back.

“What are you two whispering about,” Lily asked, moving closer. Hanna turned from Maya.

“So Felicity, is she like an ex?” Hanna asked. She felt her face turn slightly red. Hard things weren’t discussed in her house, and she didn’t have much practice, but holding Maya’s hand made her feel safe.

“Pfft, no, I don’t—” her voice slightly faltered, “I don’t have exes,” Lily said. Hanna thought she didn’t sound proud or ashamed.

“Well there was something going on,” said Hanna.

“Wasbeing the operative word there, Banana. You don’t have to worry, you have all of my attention these next few days.” Lily moved even closer. Despite wanting more information, Hanna’s body began to warm, and she had to wrestle withwanting to lean into the direction things were moving physically and wanting answers.

She thought about what Lily had previously said, about being able to show and tell better with her hands than what she was able to say.

“All of it?” Maya said, sliding her free hand into Lily’s hair, massaging her scalp before tugging slightly.

“I’m sorry, I meant an equal share of attention for both of you,” Lily amended, her voice going husky. “Is that what you wanted to hear?” Lily asked, and Hanna nodded. “Mmm,” Lily said.

“Not what I only want to hear,” Hanna said. “Show me, showus.”

The atmosphere changed in the room with the shift in tone in Hanna’s voice. She could feel it.

Maya slid behind Hanna and kissed her right where her shoulder met her neck. Hanna heard Lily take in a sharp breath.

“Show you?” Lily asked.

“You said you are better at showing with your hands than your mouth,” Hanna replied.

Lily’s eyes locked on Hanna’s, and she smiled conspiratorily.

Hanna could feel Maya’s careful breath behind her and knew she was gazing over at Lily, watching and waiting for how to proceed. Hanna felt the control of the situation, and saw in Lily’s eyes that she was giving it to her, was giving her something.

“Tell me what you need, babe,” Lily said quietly. As if she truly would be willing to give Hanna whatever she needed.

And Hanna did know what she needed. She needed to feel like Lily was hers, even if just temporarily. She didn’t like thinking about the other two women from earlier today, and needed to know Lily wasn’t thinking of them either.

“You, I need you,” Hanna began.

Lily smiled down at her.

“On your knees,” Hanna said.

Lily’s smile faltered slightly, just for a second; a flicker of a decision danced behind her eyes. Her face became all serious lines, as if deliciously resigned.

Then she kneeled.

“What else?” Lily said, now looking up at Hanna. Her blue eyes were pools of desire. “Maya?”

“Right now, we are going to take care of Hanna, and then,” Maya said as she kissed Hanna’s neck, “because I am at my wit’s end, I am going to ride your face until I forget my own name. Then, and only then, can you come.”

“Done,” Lily said, and Hanna relished watching the one who was normally so dominant handing over control to her and Maya. And they deserved it, after today.

Hanna pulled Maya’s arms around her. Maya enveloped her and then moved one hand to lightly glide over her exposed collarbone. Pleasant tingles prickled her skin, and she took in a sharp breath as Lily’s hands skated over her middle, working her jeans open. A moan escaped her when Maya lightly pinched one of her nipples over her clothes. Hanna turned her head, exposing her neck to Maya further.
