“I think I’m going to leave it alone and pray she doesn’t show up here again. I don’t have her number anymore, so I can’t really chase her down anyway. Not that I’d want to. I may not have been so brave in asking her to leave repeatedly had you not been up here. She looked as though she was going to flip her shit at any moment once you came upstairs.”
“So she feels threatened…”
“I’m not sure threatened is what she’s feeling. Helpless, alone, I don’t know. But again, I can’t be the person who sees her through whatever she has going on. If she can understand that she can’t just leave people and then walk back into their lives, things may pick up for her soon.”
“I hope you’re right.”
Hannah got to her feet, standing between Caroline’s legs. She grinned as she stared down at Caroline’s cleavage, that penetrating gaze doingeverythingto fire Caroline up. “I may not be, but all I’m interested in right now is my girlfriend in sexy lace lingerie.”
Caroline blushed. She knew she looked nice, but the look Hannah was giving her meant anything other than nice. “Does it look okay?”
“Okay?” Hannah barked a laugh, throwing her head back. But then she focused back on Caroline and took her bottom lip between her teeth. “Oh, you look far better than okay, Caz. Right now, I want to remove this with my teeth.”
That was exactly the reaction Caroline hoped to get when she was half-naked in front of Hannah. It stopped her from questioning herself. Her body. How she appeared to those around her.
“I wouldn’t be opposed to that,” Caroline whispered, reaching up and slowly unbuttoning Hannah’s shirt. When she exposed her stomach, Caroline pressed wet kisses to her skin.
Hannah fisted her hand in Caroline’s hair, pressing her lips down harder. “You know,” she said breathlessly. “There was something incredibly sexy about you taking control downstairs before. How you didn’t back down.”
Caroline smiled against Hannah’s stomach, popping the button on her pants and lowering the zipper. “Yeah?” She lowered her mouth to the waistband of Hannah’s underwear, overcome with arousal when Hannah tightened her fist in Caroline’s hair. “You like that?”
“Which? The thought of you controlling me or your mouth so close to where I need it?”
Caroline stared up at Hannah with hooded eyes. “Both, I guess.”
“Oh, I really like it.” The way in which those words slid from Hannah’s mouth, a moan, had Caroline slowly lowering her pants down her thighs. “And I really like where this is going, too.”
“Mm. Me, too.”
Hannah raked her nails through Caroline’s hair as she leaned down and drew her into a kiss. Those lips, the promise they represented, Caroline was entirely in love with this woman.
As Hannah stepped out of her pants, kicking them across the room, she placed one knee, then the other, on the bed. Straddling Caroline, she rolled her body, moaning when she deepened the kiss. “Caz?”
“Yes?” She responded breathlessly.
“I’m so wet for you.”
Oh, God. When Hannah spoke those five simple words, the ground could open up and take Caroline…and she’d be unaware. When Hannah straddled her, grinding in her lap, nothing else mattered.
Caroline lowered her hand, pressing Hannah’s underwear between her lips. “Mmhmm. Yes, you are.”
“Oh, fuck.” Hannah lowered her head to Caroline’s shoulder, moving back and forth against her fingers. “Please, babe.”
Caroline pushed the material to one side, gathering Hannah’s arousal on the tips of her fingers. “Hannah,” she whispered, placing a kiss on Hannah’s shoulder. “I need you out of these right now.”
Hannah shot from the bed, her underwear gone before Caroline had time to blink. She reached behind herself, unclasping her bra, her eyes not leaving Caroline’s. “Where do you want me?”
“Fuck. I don’t know.” Caroline got to her feet, stalked towards Hannah, and wrapped a hand around the back of her neck. “But I do know I want to be inside you.”
Hannah took Caroline’s hand, placing it between her legs. “Take control, babe. Takeme.”
Caroline shivered at those words, goosebumps spreading across her skin. She watched Hannah, her eyes so focused, so…blue. But it was when she smoothed two fingers between Hannah’s swollen lips that a thrill rushed through her. She’d spent many nights with Hannah now, but nothing could ever prepare Caroline for touching her. Every day was a new experience.
She guided Hannah back, pressing her to the wall, and sunk to her knees. Tasting Hannah, feeling that aching clit on the tip of her tongue…fuck, Caroline’s mouth watered at the thought. She spread Hannah’s lips, Caroline’s bottom lip between her teeth, as she teased Hannah with her thumb. “You’re so beautiful.”
Hannah’s legs trembled. “C-Caz, please.”
Caroline shifted closer, wrapped her lips around Hannah’s clit, and sucked gently. She knew what Hannah needed and when. She knew every last reaction Hannah would have. “Mm. So good.”
