“You’re really good for my ego,” Anna told her with a cheeky grin.
“And you’re really good at, well ... sex.” Eden trailed a hand down Anna’s spine, making her shiver with pleasure.
“I didn’t want your first time with a woman to be disappointing.”
Eden scoffed. “You could have just laid here and let me look at you, and it wouldn’t have been disappointing. But this ... this was amazing.”
“I’m glad.”
“Now can I ...?” Eden slid her hand to Anna’s hip, her expression turning hesitant.
“God, yes.” Anna had been trying to ignore her own need while she focused on Eden, but she was so worked up at this point, it wouldn’t take much.
Eden’s fingers trailed across Anna’s stomach. She toyed with Anna’s belly ring and then dipped lower, brushing against Anna’s soaked flesh. Now it was Anna’s turn to groan, her hips jerking toward Eden.
“Wow.” Eden sounded awed. “You’re so wet.”
“What can I say? Getting you off is pretty arousing.”
Eden grinned. “Roll onto your back.”
Anna complied, feeling a rush of arousal at the authoritative tone of Eden’s voice. She’d enjoyed taking control earlier, but now she was more than happy to let Eden take over. Eden sat up, straddling one of Anna’s thighs as her gaze roamed over Anna’s body.
“I’ve been looking forward to this.” Eden leaned in, kissing Anna on the mouth before venturing down to kiss her breasts, her mouth hot and wet against Anna’s sensitive skin. She slipped a hand between Anna’s thighs.
“Yes,” Anna gasped, moving against Eden’s hand.
She felt Eden smile around the nipple she’d been kissing. Eden’s fingers moved hesitantly at first. When Anna looked down, Eden’s brow was wrinkled in concentration. Her fingers were gentle as they explored Anna’s body, gradually becoming firmer as Eden’s confidence grew.
Eden found her clit, and at Anna’s cry of pleasure, she looked up. “Yes?”
“Right there,” Anna confirmed. “You can take your time with me later. Right now, just keep doing what you’re doing.”
Eden’s fingers resumed their movements, circling Anna’s clit as she nipped at Anna’s breast, and she arched her back, pressing herself more firmly into Eden’s touch. Anna thrust her hips to Eden’s rhythm, and within minutes, she felt herself losing control, moaning as Eden took her over the edge.
“Yes,” Anna cried as she came. She clutched Eden against herself as she rode out her orgasm, and the next thing she knew, Eden was grinding against her thigh as she came again too.
“MyGod,” she gasped as she collapsed against Anna on the bed. “You weren’t kidding when you said women could just keep going.”
Anna grinned, sucking in deep breaths as she recovered. “Multiple orgasms are a fun perk, that’s for sure.”
“I love this,” Eden murmured, nuzzling closer so that her head rested in the crook of Anna’s neck. “I love being with you.”
Anna’s heart clenched happily at thatLword on Eden’s lips. Of course, it was too soon to say it for real, but Anna knew she was well on her way to falling for Eden, and she hoped Eden might feel the same way. As she lay with Eden cradled in her arms, aftershocks of pleasure still fizzing in her veins, Anna couldn’t imagine anything more perfect. “I love being with you too.”
She stroked a hand through Eden’s hair, and Eden sighed, sounding at peace with the world. The door to the balcony was still open, and Anna could barely see the trees through the gathering dark. A ceiling fan circled overhead, and the hum of crickets filtered through the room.
This was bliss. But after a minute, she realized the dampness she felt on her neck wasn’t sweat but Eden’s tears. A slight hitch in her breathing was the only other warning sign.
Anna tightened her arm around her. “Hey. You okay?”
Eden nodded, not lifting her head. “Good tears. Happy tears. Maybe relief? Like so many things finally make sense. I finally understand why ...” A little sob escaped her. “But at the same time, I can’t help feeling frustrated that it took mesolong.”
“None of that.” She gave Eden’s hair a gentle tug, drawing a gasp from her. “Don’t question your journey, Eden. You’re here now, but nothing about you was any less valid a few months ago, when you still thought you were straight.”
Eden looked up with a smile on her lips despite the tears on her cheeks. “You’re right. No more beating myself up about things that are outside my control.”
“That’s right.” Anna dipped her head to kiss her, tasting salt on Eden’s lips.
