“Mmmm better babe, don’t worry, I know where you need me, right here.” She pressed down further into Hanna, stretching her in a way that made her ankles flex.
“Fuck I’m going to come,” Hanna said, her orgasm building.
“No you won’t, not like this Banana,” Maya said from where she was, naked, behind her. She had a leg on either side of Hanna and when Hanna looked back she could see that Maya was slowly stroking herself, looking down at her with heavy-lidded eyes.
“No I won’t, not yet,” Hanna repeated and fuck yes she loved it when Maya told her what to do.
“Not until you’ve tasted me,” Maya said, and Hanna let out a moan because Lily hadn’t stopped fucking her, and that coupled with watching Maya touch herself was going to send her over the edge.
“Hurry, I need it, need you now,” Hanna said, as Maya got up on her knees and lowered herself onto Hanna’s face. She loved having Maya like this, completely surrounded by the smell of her, the taste of her, the heat of her. And Hanna showed it in the way she tongued her, her tongue sliding over Maya’s slickness to greet her clit.
“Like that, good girl,” she heard Maya moan.
Ever since they’d discovered Hanna had a praise kink, they had to use it sparingly because that’s all it took to light her up. Hanna came, moaning into Maya. She felt Maya twitch on top of her, and then slide off and roll over on the bed.
Hanna loved it when this happened; she was still tingly all over and cooling down but turned her head in time to watch a naked Lily climb on top of Maya and fit her body to hers.
“God I love fucking you two, my girls so good for me,” Lily said as she began riding Maya to her own orgasm, which didn’t take long. The sight was unbelievably hot, her two women naked together. It was like live porn or her own personal sex dungeon.
“I swear I have never had success with scissoring like I have with you,” Maya said, panting as Lily rolled off of her and they lay on the bed breathing heavily, Lily and Maya side by side and Hanna at their feet.
Nights in the treehouse were everything this summer. They werethereason Hanna had been so excited to come home for the summer instead of working back in Boston. She supposed she, Maya, and Lily could have all found work in the city or stayed in Maya’s apartment, but being with Maya and Lily, occasionally working on the orchard — she knew Diana would put that in heavy quotes— and sleeping where it all began felt right. Plus it was a great way to see if moving in together was happening too fast. Lily always joked that she never thought she’d fit the U-Haul stereotype, and here she was doing it times two.
“Holy shit,” Lily breathed, “it just never gets old.”
“If anything, it keeps getting better and better,” Maya said.
Hanna moved up the bed and squeezed herself between the two women. Their bodies were slick with sweat and without AC, the summer humidity clung to them. Hanna didn’t care, she leaned into them. She felt like every time she was sinking deeper and deeper in a dream, one where she felt so damn free.
“I love you both,” she said quietly, and as if they’d rehearsed, Lily and Maya both sat up on their arms and turned to face her. “I love you Lilith, and I love you Maya,” Hanna said again, louder this time with what she hoped was a certainty that left no room for doubt. Because she had never been so certain of anything in her life.

MAYA
Maya was in love. She was deeplyin love.In love with both Hanna and Lily. She wasn’t sure it was something she had fully admitted to herself, considering she had seen how fleeting the feeling could be as she watched her parents’ marriage implode, but last week when Hanna had said it, it was like the last knot inside of her slackened. Hanna loved her and Lily, and yes, Maya loved them too.
“Me?"Lily was the first to utter a word after Hanna’s declaration, and she sounded so shocked and vulnerable that whatever wall Maya was scrambling to build crumbled.
“Both of you,” Hanna had said.
“I know, it’s just that?—”
Before Lily could finish Maya said, “I love you too. Both of you. Hanna and Lil–Lilith.” Maya kept the tradition of using Lily’s full name when being especially playful or serious. “I love you, and it scares me because I just saw a love die that I never thought would, but also I know my mom has no regrets, and I don’t want them either. I love you both and I am so fucking excited for Providence.”
Lily had swallowed but Maya noticed her eyes were glassy. “I love you both too,” she’d said, “Maya and our Banana, Hanna, I love you both so fucking much,” and she’d leaned down, and pulled Maya down with her so that their three foreheads touched. And then they kissed, in that three-way playful move they took a little more seriously these days. It was what they did to symbolize having worked out somethingtogether.
“I hopeit's me or Lily or both putting that goofy grin on your face, lady.” Hanna’s voice brought her back down to earth, or more specifically, back to her room where she and Hanna currently were sitting and trying to think of what to do for their girlfriend’s upcoming birthday. They hadn’t talked about these scenarios in detail, but they hoped because they were meeting to planforLily, this wasn’t a moment when they were leaving her out.
Hanna was sitting on Maya’s bed, and Maya was sitting cross-legged on the floor, laptop in her lap open to a page of their brainstormed ideas. Hanna had worried, but Maya reminded her that one, having a friend over isn’t weird, especially since they’d been working at the orchard together, and two, her mother wouldn’t be home anyway. She was off doing whatever mysterious thing was keeping her occupied and happy these days.
“Of course,” Maya smiled back at her. She went to kiss her but knew it would make Hanna even more nervous, so she winked instead. Maya thought lovedidmake her a littlegoofy, but she was into it. “What were you saying?”
“I was just saying, I don’t think Lily has ever had a proper birthday party before.”
“No? Not even when you were in high school?”
“I honestly thought I just wasn’t cool enough to get invited maybe, but when I asked Diana for some ideas last week, she just said she liked to let Lily do her own thing.”
