Drew’s scent was all around her. The pillows and blankets all carried the scent to Brooke’s nose. Her frustration began to mount, and Brooke tossed from one side to the other. Brooke was aware of a heat forming at her core. She breathed in deeply and allowed herself to remember the feel of Drew’s lips. Brooke imagined how it would feel to have Drew’s lips on the rest of her body. The gentle heat between her thighs became a wildfire. Brooke’s hand slipped past the waistband of her pants and found her clit. She made slow circles alongside her clit, gradually increasing the pace. Her orgasm came so quickly that it caught her off guard. Brooke moaned, her frustration was appeased but not gone. Sleep found her by degrees instead of all at once. Any foreign noise would wake her. Brooke realized that she was still hoping to see Drew once she got home. Her heart stubbornly wished to see Drew. Brooke closed her eyes. She refused to spend her time waiting and hoping for another woman’s arrival.
Chapter 12
Drew had never been more bored in her life. She hated that she was bored. Robin was telling her all about her newest business venture which she was obviously excited about. Drew had tried to stay engaged. She’d tried asking questions but everything Robin was saying just felt so surface-level.
What was worse was that Drew kept looking for an opportunity to talk to Robin about their relationship and failing to find one. Robin had barely stopped for a breath since they sat down for dinner. Drew waited patiently for Robin to finish her current story before bursting in vigorously.
“I’d like to talk about us. If that’s okay?”
Drew could tell from Robin’s face that her delivery could use some work. Though she knew that she’d done the best she could. After a moment Robin’s face brightened and she smiled.
“Of course. We’ve gone out on quite a few dates now. I guess it is about time for us to talk about where we see things going.”
Drew felt an absolute hole
form in the pit of her stomach. She’d forced the moment into existence but now she’d do anything to rewind back to a couple seconds ago.
“I was thinking that I’m not seeing this going in a serious direction.”
Robin’s face was unreadable, but Drew got the impression that the woman wasn’t pleased.
“Oh,” Robin said when she finally did speak.
“Are you okay?” Drew asked.
“Of course.”
Robin’s lips were drawn tight together.
“I’m not saying that I don’t want to keep seeing you,” Drew offered.
Robin arched a single eyebrow and stared Drew down.
“What are you saying then?”
“I’m saying we could date one another and also see other people while we figure out where we fit into each other’s lives,” Drew answered, her tone hopeful.
Robin levied a stare at her that Drew was sure had broken more than one person.
“Is there someone else?” Robin asked finally.
“Not exactly.”
“Drew,” Robin bit her name out.
“I recently started dating Brooke,” Drew admitted. There was no reason to hide the fact that she was dating Brooke from Robin.
“I see. You’re dating Brooke. Of course you are. I knew there was something going on between the two of you the night we met.”
“There was nothing going on between us then,” Drew argued.
Robin’s expression told Drew clearly that she didn’t believe what Drew was saying.
“Regardless. I don’t think things are going to work out between us. I have no interest in splitting time with another woman. And I honestly think it was really shitty for you to expect me to.”
“I’m sorry,” Drew offered, her apology genuine.
“Honestly, if you weren’t feeling like you wanted something deeper with me you should have just said so. That would have saved us both some time.”
