“Hey,” I said, stroking her stomach. She had her belly pierced with a pink stone, which was so Tenley and so cute, I couldn’t stand it.

“I don’t know what I’m doing,” she said, biting her bottom lip. “I mean, I know I literally write sapphic erotica, but you can learn a lot from other authors and from porn.”

“Oh, were you watching porn, Tenley?” I asked, my heart rate spiking and my blood running hot.

She licked her lips. “Yeah, I had to learn somehow. I consider my memberships to certain creators a work expense.”

I snorted. “You job sounds pretty great.”

She smiled slowly. “It is.”

“If there’s anything you want to try, don’t hesitate to tell me. I’m pretty open about everything. There’s not much you could say that would shock me.” I mean, there was a first for everything, but I was pretty confident.

“Okay,” she said, suddenly shy.

“We can start with a kiss. We don’t have to go anywhere beyond that,” I said. I hadn’t had a partner this inexperienced in a while, so I had to recalibrate and go super slow. This had to be good for her, after so many years of terrible sex. She deserved all the orgasms she could handle. And then a few more.

“A kiss sounds good,” she said, reaching for me. Our lips met softly for about half a second and then somehow, I ended up on top of her as Tenley thrust her body against mine, seeking friction and pressure. So much for slow.

As much as I wanted to tease her pretty nipples, she needed to come, and she needed to come right now. Once we got the first out of the way, we could take our time and I could tease the next one out of her. And then make her beg for the third. Fuck, I couldn’t wait to see her beg. I got wet just picturing it.

I maneuvered myself so I could grind myself against her thigh while I stroked her, getting my fingers completely wet. Guess we didn’t need the lube yet.

Every time I brushed her clit, Tenley’s body jerked, and I could feel the tremors through her whole body. She was so wound up that I knew it wouldn’t take much, so I started rubbing circles on her clit, not even bothering to fuck her inside.

“Yes, yes, yes,” Tenley panted, her eyes shuttering closed. I added more speed and pressure and watched as she shattered under me, just a few seconds before I came myself, shuddering above her and gasping out her name. That first orgasm was quick and hard and just a teaser of things to come.

I rolled next to Tenley, noting how wet her leg was from me. My hand smelled like her and I couldn’t help but sneak another taste.

“Holy fuck,” Tenley said, staring up at my ceiling and letting out a little laugh. “That was amazing.” She turned her face toward me, eyes bright with wonder.

“You’re so fucking cute,” I said, kissing her.

She started laughing as I kissed her, so I pulled back. “What is it?”

“Nothing,” she said. “I’m just…this night has been a lot.” Her laugh turned into a few tears.

“What’s wrong, babe?” I said, using my thumb to wipe them away.

“I’m just realizing a lot of things tonight, I’m fine,” she said.

I moved closer to her so I could put one arm around her stomach. I also wanted to play with that shiny little gem in her navel. It was really distracting.

“Do you want to talk about it?” I asked, walking my fingers back and forth across her belly.

Tenley shook her head slowly. “No. I don’t want to talk. I want you to make me come again.”

Now it was my turn to laugh. “I think I can do that,” I said, kissing her again.

Chapter Thirteen

“You up for sitting on my face?” I asked.

Tenley nodded as if I’d asked her if she wanted a pony for her birthday. I used pillows and my bedframe to get her in the right position, sitting right on my chest. Tenley looked down at me, her breath coming rapidly.

“You ready?” I asked.

“I’m not going to hurt you?” she asked.
