“Sorry, didn’t catch that?” Jamie said, a light tease to her voice.

Natalie lowered her hand and swallowed hard. “I’ll try.”

“Thank you,” Jamie said. She smiled. “And Happy Christmas, Mum.”

“Happy Christmas, darling.”

Jamie was glad she had taken Lila’s advice. She had a small breakthrough with her father, but an even greater one with her mother. And she could be nothing but grateful for that.

Chapter 22

When Jamie saw Tessa again, relief overtook all other emotions. She was able to put the argument with her father and the heartbreaking conversation with her mother behind her. All that mattered was that Tessa was back. In her home. Kissing the absolute life out of her.

“I missed you,” Tessa murmured between kisses. “Fuck, Jamie, I missed you so much.”

“I missed you more,” Jamie sighed back, heat swirling in the pit of her stomach.

They had only been apart for a week, but that was more than enough time for longing to take hold. Jamie’s hands, aching for Tessa, dove into the latter’s hair, taking firm hold of the blonde braid. Tessa pawed at Jamie’s jumper. She pushed the hem up over Jamie’s abs and explored with abandon. Jamie’s muscles jumped at the contact, her body eager for more.

They stumbled toward the stairs, shedding layers of clothing as they went. Even Tessa’s glasses barely made it onto the dresser. By the time they reached Jamie’s room, both were downto their underwear. Jamie pushed Tessa down onto the bed, a dizzying current racing through her. Tessa’s lips parted as she watched Jamie slide her knickers down her legs. Jamie did the same with her own, tossing them both aside before crawling over Tessa’s gorgeous body and kissing her again. Skin to skin, chest to chest, they were as one. The souls that had found each other time and again rejoiced in continued connection.

Tessa pushed her chest up, and Jamie took the hint. After trailing down Tessa’s neck, Jamie wrapped her lips around a pebbled nipple, and toyed the other to life with her hand. A sultry moan fell from Tessa’s lips, which only spurred Jamie to intensify her touch. She nipped lightly with her teeth. Tessa gasped. Her hands flew into Jamie’s hair, holding her in place.

Jamie took pride in a lot of things—her appearance, her performance on the pitch, her trophies—but nothing made her heart swell like the sound of Tessa’s pleasure. She drank in the sounds from deep in Tessa’s throat. They made her want to do more. Give more.

Releasing her breast, Jamie kissed her way down Tessa’s body, leaving a searing path until she reached her bellybutton. She flicked her tongue over it. Tessa shivered and Jamie smirked with satisfaction.

When she was about to reach Tessa’s hot core, Jamie changed course. She peppered kisses to the insides of Tessa’s thighs. Tessa whined and pulled her legs together, as if to push Jamie where she needed her most. But Jamie only latched on to the milky flesh and sucked hard, pulling Tessa’s skin between her teeth to leave a distinct mark. Tessa sucked in a sharp breath and hooked her knees over Jamie’s shoulders.

With her index finger, Jamie teased Tessa’s slit, already wet and wanting. Tessa’s hips rolled toward her.

“You really did miss me, huh?” Jamie teased.

“Are you gonna talk all night or are you gonna put that mouth to good use?” Tessa shot back.

“So demanding!” Jamie chided. “If I didn’t want to taste you so fucking badly, I might punish you.”

“If you don’t, I’ll take care of it myself.”

Tessa brought her hand toward her center, but Jamie swatted it away.

“You’ve taken care of yourself all week,” she said. “My turn now.”

She bent between Tessa’s thighs and licked a stripe up her soaking cunt. Tessa whined, arching her back and pushing her hips to get Jamie closer. Jamie worked Tessa’s clit with her tongue, flicking and swirling until it was swollen, and Tessa’s voice grew hoarse with her desperate cries of Jamie’s name.

Jamie’s own body heated with desire. There was nothing more arousing to her than seeing Tessa twist and writhe. She teased Tessa’s entrance with a finger, coating it in Tessa’s arousal before slipping it inside her. Tessa groaned, loud and long, and rocked her hips. Jamie matched her rhythm with her finger. She added a second and Tessa gasped, but did not stop. Working with her mouth and hands in tandem, Jamie brought Tessa closer and closer to the edge. Tessa clenched around her fingers. She could hear the dawn of an orgasm in Tessa’s voice.

“Christ, Jamie, I’m nearly there,” she panted. “Oh, please, faster.”

Jamie ratcheted up her pace until Tessa was no longer able to form words except for the occasional “fuck” and Jamie’s name. Jamie pressed her thighs together to ease the ache in her own center. Tessa had never been hotter.

Tessa peaked, her legs trembling, her hips jerking, her hands gripping tight to Jamie’s hair. As she rode out her orgasm, everything relaxed. Jamie eased her back down before pullingaway. Her lips found their way instinctively back to Tessa’s. The kisses were short and breathless.

“Your turn,” Tessa said. “But I’m not sure I can move. You’re gonna have to sit on my face.”

“Are you threatening me with a good time?” Jamie teased.

“Get up here, you,” Tessa said through a smile, pulling Jamie forward.
