Heidi giggled. “I realized I need to be more vulnerable.”
“Oh?” Ann pulled Heidi up to kiss her hard. “Well, I like this new side of you.”
“Me too.” Heidi pulled her shirt off and shifted so she stood in front of Ann. She reached forward for her jeans, pulling the button and zipper until she dropped them to the floor too. She gave Ann a challenging look when Ann’s gaze trailed over her newly naked form. “Are we doing this or not?”
“Hell yes,” Ann stood up, stripping the rest of her scrubs.
Heidi swayed her hips wildly as she walked toward the bedroom. As soon as she was inside, she sat on the edge of the mattress. Ann followed closely, pushing her down and covering her as their mouths connected. Ann’s fingers were firm as she ran them up and down Heidi. Heidi closed her eyes, listening to her body as Ann touched her so confidently. She wished she had that confidence, but at least Ann did.
Tapping Ann’s side, Heidi grinned. “On your back.”
“Yes, ma’am.” Ann giggled before flopping onto her back.
Heidi got onto her knees and bent over Ann to kiss her. Ann reached up, playing with Heidi’s breasts as they dragged across her. Heidi kissed her way down Ann’s body until she kneeled between her legs. Bending low again and lying on her belly, she positioned herself perfectly. She started with her tongue, surprised to find Ann so wet and ready for her. It was so unlike other times they’d had sex.
She moved one finger in her first, then a second, knowing Ann preferred it that way. With her mouth and fingers, Heidi concentrated everything she had on Ann, bringing her up to the pinnacle of an orgasm. She listened to the way Ann’s breathing changed, the twitches of her muscles, the rise and fall of her hips as she pushed through the last barrier. Ann reached down, gripping Heidi’s hair tightly as her stomach tensed and she groaned. Heidi slowed her movements but kept them up until Ann’s grip in her hair loosened.
“Jesus, Heidi.”
“What?” Heidi rested her chin on Ann’s hip, leaning in to kiss her heated skin.
“Where the hell have you been hiding that one?” Ann laughed, her dark gaze locking on Heidi’s.
Heidi shook her head, confused. “It’s not any different than I’ve done before.”
“It was different. Trust me. That was amazing.” Ann trailed one finger over Heidi’s cheek. “Come up here.”
Heidi climbed up the bed so she was lying alongside Ann. The kiss was sweet and deep. The connection Heidi felt had been missing between them so often was back, even if only for a brief moment, and she fell into it, giving over everything she had left of herself. She wanted this. She wanted Ann, and she had no doubts.
“I want you on top.”
“Okay.” Heidi got back onto her knees and scooted up so she straddled Ann’s head on the pillow.
Ann curled her hands around Heidi’s thighs to hold her in place and in the right position. Heidi looked down, leaning backward slightly so she could see Ann’s concentration, her delight.
“You’re so wet.”
“So were you.” Heidi giggled.
“Whatever you did today, if this is the result, I think it might be worth it to explore.” Ann didn’t give her a second to respond as she licked firmly. “Mmm, so good.”
Heidi gripped onto the headboard as she raised up instinctively. Ann licked her again before diving in. Heidi’s knuckles went white as she held on to keep herself as steady as possible. Ann shifted her every once in a while. Glancing down, Heidi lost herself in Ann. Those dark, beautiful eyes, Ann’s confidence, Ann’s strength, Ann’s compassion. It was everything she could need in a partner and more, and she was so glad she’d found Ann when she had. The last fifteen years without her would have been terrifying.
Heidi’s orgasm came swiftly, taking her so unexpectedly she grunted and jerked, nearly falling over on the bed in the process. Ann held her tightly as she clenched her eyes shut tight while Ann didn’t slow. Heidi wasn’t sure if Ann knew she’d come or not, but her mouth was dry and she couldn’t figure out how to form words to tell her. Ann kept going, moving her mouth against her until Heidi crashed through a second—albeit far more expected—orgasm.
She moved almost immediately, lying next to Ann on the bed, her chest rising and falling rapidly as she tried to catch her breath. “Twice.”
“Twice?” Ann repeated as a question. “You came twice?”
“Yeah,” Heidi muttered. “You didn’t notice?”
“No.” Ann shifted so she leaned up on an elbow and stared down at Heidi. “But I’m glad. Was it good?”
“Uh huh.” Heidi gave her a silly grin, freer than she had been in ages. “Yeah, it was good.”
Ann grinned. “It was good for me, too.”
They kissed tenderly before Ann shifted and curled around Heidi’s back. Heidi held on to Ann’s hand before she looked across the room, surprised to find she was on Ann’s side of the bed, nearest to the window. She tensed, and Ann gripped her tighter.
