Nora smiled as she settled against her side. Her lips were soft as she claimed Quinn’s in a lazy, indulgent kiss, and she pulled back with a sigh to gauge Quinn’s reaction when she turned on the vibe. Delight sparked in her eyes when Quinn whined and rolled her hips, and she nuzzled Quinn’s cheek as she whispered, “Patience.”
Quinn gave up the fight to keep her eyes open when Nora’s lips wrapped around her own as the vibrator began drawing idle swoops and swirls over her chest, circling her breasts and dragging over her nipples. The touch never lingered, drifting down her stomach and along her sides before returning to her breasts for a brief, teasing moment before moving on again, down to the tops of her thighs, tracing the line where her leg bent. The gentle vibrations dancing over her skin was the most exquisite torture, and she moaned against Nora’s lips as she writhed beneath her.
“So beautiful,” Nora murmured as she dragged the head of the vibe along the line where Quinn’s hip hinged. “Spread your legs for me.”
Quinn swallowed thickly as she complied, and groaned when Nora dipped into the space she’d just revealed.
“You look so good right now,” Nora whispered as she stroked the vibe up and down the line of Quinn’s inner thigh.
“God, Nora.” Quinn arched her hips off the bed, out of her mind with bliss and absolutely desperate for relief. She whimpered against Nora’s lips and spread her legs wider as Nora continued her slow, steady tease, letting her touch drift just high enough that she could feel the vibration of the toy in the air over her clit before it disappeared. Her hips moved with a mind of their own, seeking friction, searching for relief that was denied again and again and again. “Please…”
“I know, darling,” Nora murmured, nuzzling Quinn’s cheek, her voice decidedly rougher than usual.
Knowing that Nora was just as affected by this slow, perfect, fucking tortuous tease drove Quinn that much closer to the edge, and she strained against her bindings as she groaned, “I can’t…”
“You can.” Nora’s lips were soft against Quinn’s cheek. “Just a bit more.”
Quinn sucked in a sharp breath and nodded.
“Oh, that’s it, beautiful,” Nora breathed, her voice barely loud enough to carry over the sound of the vibe and Quinn’s ragged breathing.
Quinn gasped out at the first light brush of the vibe against her clit, and she cried out as Nora angled the toy into place and slid it home. She fisted her hands around the slats of the headboard as Nora set a purposeful, steady rhythm, and tipped her head back against the pillows as she struggled to hold back the rising tide of her release until Nora gave her permission to fall.
“You’re doing so well, darling,” Nora encouraged, punctuating the praise with a wet kiss to Quinn’s collarbone.
Quinn whined and bucked against Nora’s next thrust.
“You’re close, aren’t you?”
Quinn nodded desperately. “Yes… Fuck, Nora… Please.”
“Mm, lovely.” Nora brushed her lips over Quinn’s jaw and buried the vibe as deep as she could as she demanded, “Come for me.”
Quinn came with a shout, her body curving up into Nora as she tumbled into ecstasy. She fell back to the bed when Nora’s hand started moving again, thrusting slowly, prolonging her release, and was so lost to the pleasure that suffused her that she barely registered the fact that Nora’s mouth was moving steadily lower, peppering her skin with kisses and nips until those kisses were ghosting along her inner thigh.
“Oh god,” Quinn croaked.
Nora hummed and gave the vibe a pointed twist as she flicked her tongue over Quinn’s clit. “Again?”
Quinn’s body was still rippling with the aftershocks from her first orgasm, but she didn’t hesitate to spread her legs that little bit wider as she lifted her hips entreatingly. “Please.”
The weather the next morning was perfect for a lazy breakfast on the balcony, and Quinn smiled around the rim of her coffee cup as she watched Fort gaze wistfully at the inflatable T-Rex Santa next door. Between how much fun he’d had during the parade and the way he was staring at the neighbor’s dinosaur, he clearly needed some decorations of his own.
The problem was, she had a feeling that Nora’s newfound appreciation for Christmas lights didn’t extend beyond the bedroom.
She chewed the inside of her lip as she turned her attention to Nora, who was reading the morning paper on her tablet, and considered how she might be able to get her to go along with her idea.
“Hey… Nora?”
“Hm?” Nora set her tablet on the table and smiled at her. “Do you need more coffee?”
“Nah, I’m coffee-d out.” Quinn shook her head. “I was just wondering if you had any plans for the day. I need to run to Home Depot, and if you don’t have anything going on, I thought it would be fun if you came along.”
“To a hardware store,” Nora drawled. She pushed her oversized sunglasses up onto her head, and her eyes twinkled with laughter as she teased, “Isn’t that, like, third date material?”
Thinking fast on her feet, Quinn shot back, “Well, thisisthe third day we’ve spent time together. And if you count the day we met, we’re at four, so if you look at it that way, we’re actually behind schedule…”
Nora’s smile softened, and she nodded slowly. “I know that’s right, but it feels like I’ve known you for much longer.”
