As images of a naked Ria bathed in moonlight assaulted Lissa’s senses, she slipped a finger inside herself.First one, then a second, her palm rubbing at her aching clit.Faster and faster, she thrust her fingers inside, chasing the release building within.
The pressure intensified, reaching the fever point.Hotter and hotter she burned, imagining Ria lying naked on the beach, legs spread wide, touching herself much in the same way Lissa was doing right then.
As the orgasm exploded, Lissa fought to keep her mouth closed, hoping the tiny moans that escaped were hidden by the sounds of the shower.Her pussy clenched around her fingers, and her hips continued to twitch for a few seconds as the ecstasy faded, leaving her once again wet and alone.
Dropping her head to the wall, she let the pounding water wash away the evidence of her release dripping down her leg.
Feeling slightly looser physically but more tense mentally, Lissa dried off, then pulled on a pair of purple lounge pants and a black tank top.Preparing herself for the impending fallout from her confession, she left the bathroom, hoping Ria hadn’t rabbited while she was in the shower.
Lissa paused in the living room, a grin stretching across her face.Ria hadn’t left, thankfully, but Lissa wouldn’t be confessing tonight.The last thing she wanted to do was wake the beautiful creature snoring softly on her couch.
Grabbing her grandma’s blanket, Lissa shook it gently to knock off most of the sand, then nestled it over Ria.The witch must have been exhausted, because all she did was snuggle into the warmth, her gentle snores not even faltering for a second.
Tracing her fingers down Ria’s cheek, Lissa smiled.In sleep, Ria was even more beautiful, her innocence and natural beauty shining through in a way that was somehow lost in the light of day.
Pressing a soft kiss to Ria’s forehead, Lissa lingered for an extra second, sealing the visual of the sleepy witch into her memory.Once she knew she would never forget that moment, she headed into her bedroom to get some shut-eye of her own.
Her confession could wait till morning.
Chapter Seventeen
Ria
AsoftsquealpulledRiafrom sleep the next morning, ripping her from the perfect dream she’d been having about Lissa making love to her on the beach.Ria always thought beach sex sounded incredibly hot with the crashing waves as a soundtrack, but who wanted to deal with the discomfort?She wasn’t trying to make pearls in her vagina, so she preferred to keep that place sand-free.
Dream beach sex, on the other hand, was like falling through a magic portal into a place where everything was perfect.The stars twinkled overhead, and the waves swept over the pristine sand, gently licking their bare legs.Lissa’s head was buried between Ria’s thighs, her pink hair practically glowing in the moonlight.And the things she was doing with her tongue?Only in magical dreamland did a woman ever make Ria orgasm that quickly, just to start again on the next one.It simply did not get any more sublime.
And not once did a single grain of sand make it into any crack or crevice it wasn’t supposed to be in.
Needless to say, Ria was somewhat less than pleased to have the dream fade away when hushed whispers filtered into the living room.It took her a second to realize she wasn’t in her own room, and those hushed whispers were not her mom and whatever random witch she was taking tea with that morning.
When the reality of last night came crashing back to her, she groaned internally.Ria never passed out.Ever.She was the type who always brushed her teeth, combed her hair out, and put on her pajamas before sliding purposefully under the covers.Falling asleep on someone’s couch, dressed in their clothing?That was a first.
And hopefully it would be the last, if her aching lower back had any say in the matter.
The whispers from the kitchen grew a little louder, and Ria couldn’t help but shut her eyes and snuggle under the blanket.She could stretch out the tightness in her body later.Taking a quick sniff, her muscles melted a little more into the lumpy couch.The blanket still smelled like Lissa, and Ria wasn’t quite ready to give that up and face the reality of her situation.She didn’t do one-night stands, so she wasn’t great at the morning after awkwardness.She also wasn’t sure if the fact they didn’t have sex would make things more or less uncomfortable.There had definitely been heat and wanting between both of them, and save for the damned spell, Ria would have been glad to help make her dream a reality.
But the spell was still there, and the awkward morning interaction was inevitable.
“Are you kidding me right now?”came a hushed female voice with a faint accent, maybe Latina or South American.“I can’t believe you spent the night with the witch.Where are the details?Damn, girl, I knew she was going to turn your life upside down.Was it good?I bet it was good.”
The witch?As in her?They were talking about her?
Okay, that was definitely the point where she needed to get up and let them know their hushed whispers were not as hushed as they thought, and she could hear every word.Ria didn’t do eavesdropping.She was better than that.
“It’s not like that,” Lissa protested.“Nothing happened.Well, something happened, but not what you’re thinking.”
Right, any second Ria would fake a loud yawn and alert them to her awake status.
“So you didn’t go to Pound Town?”the unknown woman asked.“No ride on the Orgasm Express?No layover between the legs?Come on, I know how you feel about her, and I saw she’s wearing your favorite shirt.Surely you at least got a little taste of that forbidden peach pie?”
Definitely time to put a stop to listening in on this conversation.
“Okay, I don’t even want to know what that last one is referring to,” Lissa replied, sounding distracted, “but no, we didn’t do anything beyond kiss.She has trust issues and honestly, rightly so.She shouldn’t trust me.”
Come again?
All Ria’s good intentions flew out the window, and she squeezed her eyes shut to double down on the faux sleep act.Surely it wasn’t bad if you were listening in on someone saying you shouldn’t trust them.That seemed like the one time it should be okay to eavesdrop.And maybe it was a rationalization, but Ria was going to cling to it for now as she waited for Lissa to elaborate.
