“And fuck?”

“Yeah.” Abagail leaned in and kissed her quickly. “And fuck.”

Nicola slid in, deepening the kiss. She wrapped her hand around the back of Abagail’s neck and tangled their legs together. “And then what?”

“Then we figure it out. One day at a time.”

Nicola sighed contentedly. “We deserve something, right?”

“We deserve everything.”

Abagail hummed as the light trickled through the window and cast its fingers against her skin. Nicola smiled as she bent down, pressing a kiss right between Abagail’s shoulders as she hovered on top of her.

All night.

Well, to be fair, they’d started pretty far into the morning, but they hadn’t slept a wink. The sun was finally coming in through the windows and they were winding down. Nicola pressed another kiss, this one closer to Abagail’s shoulder, and then her cheek. Then Nicola was working her way back down Abagail’s back.

“It’s morning,” Nicola murmured.

“It is,” Abagail answered, staying right where she was with her body planted in the bed and her head turned to the side.

Nicola trailed her tongue along the top of Abagail’s ass and then kissed each cheek before scraping her teeth against the lower curve of her ass. “Do you think this will actually work?”

“I don’t know.” Abagail laughed lightly. “I feel like I’m saying that a lot to your questions.”

“Yeah, but it’s honest.”

Abagail hummed, her eyes closing slowly.

“Did you want to go to sleep?”

“No, not yet.” Abagail didn’t really move, though. She hummed as Nicola worked her way back up to Abagail’s shoulders, with kisses here and there. This gentle way of touching each other was something they didn’t often do, and Nicola loved every second of it.

“I want to fuck you like this,” Nicola whispered, pressing her hips down against Abagail’s ass so she could feel her weight. “Half-asleep and from behind.”

Abagail hummed, her lips curling upward into that rare smile that Nicola had come to love. Then again, Abagail had been doing a whole lot of smiling that night.

“I want it to be a lazy fuck, where we get off together.” Nicola moved her hand across Abagail’s back and skin, sliding her fingers between Abagail’s legs and dipping them inside her. She was still wet, not that Nicola expected any different. She slid her fingers inside Abagail, slowly pumping them in and out.

Groaning, Abagail pushed her ass back against Nicola and buried her face in the pillow under her head and chest. Nicola continued to slowly tease her, two fingers at first and then a third. She wanted the strap; she wanted something so she could kiss Abagail at the same time.

Nicola pulled away suddenly, heading straight for the drawer where she knew the strap was. She wasn’t going to second guess her decision this time. They both needed this. She slipped it on and immediately got back on the bed. Abagail turned on her side slightly, curious what Nicola was doing, and when she saw the toy between Nicola’s legs, her lips curled up in a stunning ear-to-ear grin.

“You weren’t kidding,” Abagail said.

“I never joke.” Nicola gave Abagail a fake frown and shook her head before she laughed. She scooted forward, pressing herknees against the back of Abagail’s thighs and rotating her hips even more so she was completely lying on her side.

With one hand on Abagail’s ankle, Nicola pulled Abagail’s leg upward so that Abagail’s calf rested on her shoulder, and then she slowly started to insert the toy inside her. Abagail groaned, turning her face into the pillow and burying herself again. Nicola went as slowly as she possibly could, knowing full well that Abagail was probably super sore and sensitive from the last few hours.

This wasn’t to cause any kind of pain—though Abagail liked that too—it was simply to give Abagail the greatest amount of pleasure that Nicola possibly could to bring in the new day. Abagail grunted lightly as soon as Nicola was deep inside her. Nicola held the position and waited for Abagail to settle entirely before she slid the toy back out with as much care and tease as she could manage.

Scooting in even closer so that the backs of Abagail’s thighs were against the tops of hers, Nicola pushed up and increased her pace. She reached down, finding Abagail’s clit and rubbing two fingers back and forth across the hard, swollen nub.

“Ah! Gentle!” Abagail cried out, her face scrunching up briefly before Nicola managed to ease the touch to something softer.

When she did, Abagail hummed her pleasure and then threw her hands over her head, turning slightly so that she could look up at Nicola, and smiled yet again. She stayed there for a while, pushing up each time she pressed all the way in. Abagail groaned and pushed herself back down each time Nicola did that, so it must feel good.
