"You're moving too slow," Bala dared.
The familiar crooked smirk rose on Lex's lips. She leaned forward and kissed her again, teeth tugging on her bottom lip when she pulled back. "You have no idea how slow I can move," she promised. "I will send you over the edge with one brush of my tongue between your thighs, and you'll moan so loudly Duarb will send wind to protect you."
Bala forgot how to breathe.
But she swallowed, and she arched her breasts against Lex's. "Prove it."
Lex smirked, and she kissed Bala once more.
"Do I need to restrain your hands, or are you capable of keeping them to yourself?" Lex asked when she pulled back.
The Second Sun offering to tie her to a table intrigued Bala.
But she had a better idea.
"No hands for you," Bala countered.
Lex balked. "Excuse me?"
"You want your audition, Second Sun... These are my terms," Bala dared. "We can save your slow claims for later. This is what I want."
"You think I'm incapable of playing both?"
Bala practically felt the delight dancing on her features as she spread her legs wide and pushed her hands behind her into the tabletop. "All yours, Hilexi."
Lex's eyes fluttered with a cave of her chest. "I love when you use my full name."
Her mouth slammed into Bala's, and Bala grabbed Lex's hands, placing them on her hips. "Your hands stay here," she breathed between kisses.
Lex's fingers dug into Bala's muscles, hunger exuding from the kiss she was wrapped in. Bala couldn't help but hug Lex's head into the crook of her neck as Lex sucked on her skin. She could tell it was taking all Lex's restraint not to move her hands. But the squeeze of her fingers into her made her hips lift against her pelvis. Lex moved, kissing the front of Bala's throat and going down until the fabric of her shirt got in the way, and Lex paused to look at her.
"Take off your shirt," she requested.
But Bala only smirked.
Lex chuckled and hung her head. "Please," she added.
"I'm deducting points," Bala said as she pulled her shirt over her head, leaving only the leather strap around her breasts, ties cinching it together on the front. The ties pulled her breasts taut together, leaving cleavage slightly spilling over the top. Lex met Bala's gaze again.
Her hand squeezed into Bala's hip, and she bent to suck on Bala's collar. Her hips moved against Bala's, the friction of her pelvis against hers making her squeeze her thighs around her again. Lex's lips trailed to Bala's breasts, but she didn't stop there. She kissed down her deliberately until she sat back down in the chair.
She began to undo Bala's pants with her teeth, and Bala inhaled sharply. Lex grabbed the top of Bala's pants, and she locked eyes with her. "You can take off points for this too," she uttered. "Shift your ass, my King."
Bala obliged, shifting so that her pants pulled off. And as her pants were removed, she heard Lex curse, and she wondered if the Belwark could see how wet she was. Her pants fell on the ground, and Lex hovered between Bala's thighs.
"Balandria Windwood," she drawled, and Bala almost laughed. "Who knew the Venari King dared to dress in no undergarments."
Her nose nudged her clit, and Bala had to stretch her toes with the sharp inhale. But Lex didn't devour her. True to her word, she kissed everywhere but there... Trailing down the inside of her thigh, to every inch of her pelvis, to the point that Bala bucked her hip up and cursed Lex's name.
Lex sat up, her mouth going to the ties of Bala's bra, and she pulled them free in one tug. She wrapped her lips around Bala's peaked nipple, and Bala brushed her hands in Lex's shaggy hair, eyes rolling as her teeth bit and her tongue swirled. Lex rose back to her feet, hugging Bala's hips against her pelvis. She continued to suck on Bala as she started moving her own hips. The friction of her movements made Bala's eyes flutter. That brush of the fabric against her clit where Lex hadn't moved her mouth to yet. She hated that every sweep of Lex's tongue had her breaths shaking. Hated that this woman was already having her see stars. Bala couldn't help her hips moving faster, knees lifting off the table. Lex's fingers splayed on Bala's backside, holding her against her as though she could get her closer. Lex bit her nipple. Bala was ready to cave.
She wanted her hands everywhere. Wanted her mouth between her legs. She was losing control with the tease, and she needed her release. She heard herself whimper when Lex's tongue flickered quickly around her hardened peak. So far leaned back over the table that Lex was nearly on top of her.
Bala grabbed Lex's hand and moved it. Lex pulled back, sultry brow arching.
"Show me what you want," Lex whispered, their mouths brushing.
She led Lex's hand between her legs, and Lex cursed, eyes fluttering when she felt her wetness. Lex groaned, but as Bala left Lex's hand there on her own, Lex didn't press the digit inside her. She kissed her hard, moving her hips again, and she merely grazed her finger down Bala's clit, barely touching but making Bala jerk nonetheless. Lex's mouth captured Bala's breast again, and she sat once more.
