“Don’t stop,” Brynn commanded, her hips starting to jerk erratically. “Don’t stop, Hallie. Please.”
And now that they’d done this a few times already, Hallie was learning what Brynn wanted. What shereallywanted. Which was for Hallie to use not just her body, but her words, to make Brynn feel good.
“I won’t stop until you come all over my fingers,” Hallie promised, a thrill shooting to her own center as she worked into Brynn over and over again. Her fingers were trying to keep the off-tempo pace that Brynn was setting, her moans growing progressively louder.
“I’ve got you.” Hallie dug her free hand into Brynn’s hips, keeping them as connected as possible. She wanted to feel all of Brynn, as deeply as she could.
She felt it happen when she reached forward and sucked hard at Brynn’s nipple. The clenching of her walls around Hallie’s fingers. How Brynn’s entire body froze for a split second before her hips jerked so hard that Hallie had to flatten her palm against Brynn’s clit to accommodate the change in angle. That only made Brynn come harder. She let out the moan that Hallie had been waiting for, which reverberated off the walls in the bedroom. It was a siren’s song as far as Hallie was concerned, guiding her to the truest thing she’d ever experienced with another person.
Rubbing her palm against Brynn’s clit, Hallie shifted the hand that had been holding her hip around to Brynn’s back so that she could scratch lightly down her spine.
After she’d pumped into her, getting progressively slower with each thrust, she slid her soaked fingers out of Brynn. The scent of sex permeated the room as Hallie lifted her fingers up and licked them one by one. She was addicted to everything about fucking Brynn, and that had only become clearer as the night had worn on.
“Come here,” she coaxed, leaning back against the bed and pulling lazily at Brynn to come with her. Brynn complied with zero fight, falling into the crook of Hallie’s body, her head nestled against her shoulder.
Finally, after long, comfortable seconds of quiet, Brynn spoke into the room. “I cannot believe that’s what I’ve been missing,” she said with a laugh. “Or that I ever felt like I was broken.”
Hallie tried to temper the pride that welled up in her. Brynn was the most incredible woman that she’d ever met, and the idea that she thought the same about Hallie? Inconceivable.
Tilting her body slightly so that she could look at Brynn, she pushed her sweaty hair away from her face and ran her fingers along Brynn’s temples, like she loved to do. “You are perfect, Brynn. So perfect.”
“To you,” Brynn said contemplatively as she pouted her lips. Hallie found it incredibly endearing.
She shifted her hand down to wrap it around Brynn’s hip and pull them even closer to one another. “Well, I want you all to myself, so that works perfectly for me.”
They looked at one another then, sweaty and sleepy and more sated than Hallie had ever felt before. The overwhelming sensation of comfort and safety and love covered her like a blanket.
Which reminded Hallie, in some semi-functional part of her brain: “Let’s get under the covers before we fall asleep. You will not love me if I wake up freezing cold.”
“I’ll always keep you warm,” Brynn said seriously, even as she twisted her body to inch the covers lower.
They scooted and bumped into one another until the covers could be pulled over both of them, Brynn already burrowing into Hallie’s side like there was no place in the world she’d rather be.
As exhaustion finally overtook her, Hallie understood that feeling wholeheartedly, her body molding itself around Brynn’s just as intensely.
CHAPTER TWENTY
“It’s going to be fine, right?” Hallie asked for the third time in the last few minutes. Brynn couldn’t see her, but she could hear Hallie pacing back and forth in her bedroom. It was where, coincidentally, Brynn had spent every single night for the last two weeks.
Brynn had been putting on her makeup in the adjoining bathroom, but she now put her mascara down. She poked her head through the doorway, and seeing the drawn look on Hallie’s face, she immediately walked over to the bed where Hallie had thrown her body down.
They were meeting Brynn’s parents, along with Reese and Sydney, for brunch. Brynn had tried her best, but she’d only been able to stave off her parents for so long. Which had amounted, in total, to a couple of weeks once she’d told them about Hallie.
Personally, Brynn was thrilled that Hallie was going to be meeting her parents. Hallie was her favorite person, and she wanted her parents to meet the woman who made her so happy. Plus, Reese and Sydney would be there to run interference in case her parents’ loving attention got a little too overbearing.
Unfortunately, Hallie wasn’t seeing it through quite the same lens, so Brynn had no other choice but to play a little dirty. Which, not so secretly, she absolutely loved. She crawled on top of Hallie and straddled her torso, pinning her to the bed. It felt incredible to be touching her like this, even though they’d woken up wrapped in one another’s arms just a few hours ago.
“My parents are going to love you,” Brynn said before she placed a lingering kiss on Hallie’s cheek, nuzzling her nose against her soft skin for good measure. Maybe she took a quick inhale, too, but that was only because Hallie always smelled so good.
Brynn still hadn’t quite come down to Earth since everything with Hallie had hit a tipping point. She was excited to be taking this next step, but for someone with a family like Hallie’s, she understood that meeting someone’s parents was probably really nerve-racking.
“And Reese and Sydney will be there, so it’s not like all of the attention will be on me,” Hallie assured herself. Again, it was not the first time that these words had been said aloud today.
But Brynn would listen to Hallie talk and pontificate and worry and hype herself up for as long as it took until Hallie felt comfortable. She would confirm her words and say as many of her own as Hallie needed to hear. Even if it meant they were doing it right up until they walked into the casual brunch spot about twenty minutes away from the inn, where they were meeting everyone soon.
Smiling, because god, did Hallie look cute, Brynn said, “Fortunately for you, my parents are way too obsessed with me to ever letallthe attention be on you.” She placed another kiss on Hallie’s face, this time on her other cheek.
This kiss seemed to calm Hallie a little more, and Brynn felt the body underneath her relax. Which was great for Hallie but not so great for her since she was now very consciously awareof their positions and how easy it would be to pin Hallie’s arms down at her sides and start placing kisses across any exposed skin she could get her lips on.
