Brynn sat up again, hoping to temper the ache that was already starting to build.
There was always a present want in Brynn’s life now, which she wasn’t even close to adjusting to yet. Everything about Hallie turned her on. She hadn’t even known that it was possible to be aroused by some of the things that got her going.
Hallie’s lip gloss? Kryptonite.
Hallie’s socks, the thick ones that were always pulled up higher on one ankle than the other? Might as well be lingerie in Brynn’s mind.
Hallie’s high ponytail, when it would skew a little bit to the side after a long day? It was probably safer for Brynn to be locked in a separate room when Hallie walked in the door looking like that.
It was all just… Hallie. And Brynn loved everything about Hallie, which meant that she was constantly finding new little quirks that got her excited beyond belief.
And when she wasn’t turned on or out of her mind with want, she was just… so incredibly soft.
She sighed as Hallie’s arms came to wrap around her hips, holding her lightly. And when she looked down into Hallie’s hazel eyes, still filled with a glint of apprehension, she wished more than anything that she could make her see what she saw when she looked at her. Feel the way that she felt whenever they were close.
“If you don’t want to do this, we can wait,” Brynn assured her. Because their relationship, even if it didn’t feel like it, was still new. And she would never push Hallie into something that she wasn’t comfortable with.
Hallie sighed. “I know that I’m being a baby. I just really want them to like me. Is that crazy?”
Brynn ran her fingertips along Hallie’s jaw, marveling at how perfect she felt. “They will like you, babe. I promise you that. They will see how you treat me and how you look at me. That’s really all that matters to them. That you’re good to me and that I’m happy.”
Hallie exhaled again. “I try to be good to you.”
“I don’t think it’s possible for anyone to treat me better,” Brynn said seriously. “You make me feel loved and seen and cared for like no one else I’ve ever met.”
“You deserve the world,” Hallie agreed, her fingers roaming around to Brynn’s back and starting to inch beneath her shirt.
Brynn tried not to get lost in how good the touch felt. They really needed to leave in the next few minutes or they’d be late. And even if she didn’t actually care, she knew that Hallie would. “Are you trying to use sex to distract me?” she pushed out when Hallie’s nails scraped down her spine.
There it was, the mischievous smile that Brynn loved to see. Hallie’s eyes glinted playfully. “Is it working?”
Brynn bit her lip before adjusting her hips and shifting a few inches down Hallie’s body. She exhaled at the same time that she slid over, one of her legs now in between Hallie’s thighs. She pushed upward, grinding into Hallie’s center.
God, she loved everything about it. The friction and the moan Hallie let out and the blush that immediately snaked up her neck, her chest starting to rise and fall faster and faster.
“It always works,” Brynn finally responded, dropping down onto her forearms.
Their faces were inches apart when Hallie seemed to come to her senses. “I don’t want to be late.”
“I thought you didn’t want to go?” Brynn teased. And god, she could stop herself if she needed to, but the idea of not gettingto touch Hallie right now was hard to accept. Even if they’d had sex last night. And then this morning, before Hallie’d handled the checkouts.
It was never enough. Brynn was the definition of a wanton woman these days, which she’d only understood in the theoretical before Hallie.
Hallie groaned, but her hands didn’t still on Brynn’s back. “I want to meet the people who made you.”
Brynn couldn’t be sure what did it. The tone in Hallie’s voice or the press of her fingers against Brynn’s spine or the way Hallie was looking at her with wonderment and love.
Sheneeded. To feel Hallie. To make her come undone. To, even for just a few seconds, make Hallie forget about everything except the two of them.
Her hands were on Hallie’s pants button before she realized what she was doing. She was greeted with Hallie’s arched eyebrow as she breathlessly said, “Brynn? We don’t have?—”
They would find the time. Hell, she would figure out a way to time-travel so that they could make sure they weren’t late. That was the thought propelling her as she found Hallie’s lips in an unyielding kiss, her hand snaking into Hallie’s pants.
Heat flared through her as she dipped into Hallie’s core, engulfed in a warmth that made everything in her body screamyes. “God, Hallie. You’re already so wet.”
“I’m never too stressed to be turned on by you,” Hallie gritted out, Brynn’s fingertips quickly finding her clit.
At this rate, with the sounds Hallie was making as Brynn picked up the intensity, rubbing her clit as she used her thigh for leverage, there was a good chance they wouldn’t even be late.
