The sounds Lea made were beautiful. She moved with such passion, so caught up in the moment. Lea rolled her hips up and down using the movement from Jewel’s finger to guide her. Mesmerized, Jewel watched as she added a second finger into the mix.

“Your mouth,” Lea said on a breath. “I need your mouth.”

Without any other way to delay, Jewel bent down. She inhaled deeply, Lea’s scent filling her. She was tentative when she reached out with her tongue, swirling a circle like Lea had done. Lea groaned, her voice echoing in their quiet room. With the encouragement, Jewel left all doubt behind and moved in. She could do this.

Lea held a hand on her head as Jewel ravished her. Together they moved until Lea cried out and clamped her thighs against the sides of Jewel’s head. They stayed that way for some time before Lea loosened her grasp. Together they moved so they were lying next to each other, Lea curled around Jewel’s back and holding on tightly.

Still Jewel’s mind spun, only this time in vastly different directions. Lea’s nose pressed into the back of her neck as she trailed gentle fingers in lazy patterns over her side and belly and leg. Lea drew in a sharp breath and kissed Jewel’s shoulder. They stayed in silence for minutes on end, Jewel waiting for some kind of word from Lea that what they had done was good, that what they had done wasn’t going to ruin the friendship they had spent years building.

What she got was Lea’s hand on hers, holding their fingers together against the center of Jewel’s chest as she relaxed. They melted together.

The clock ticked over to three in the morning, and she was sure Lea was already asleep by then. She hadn’t moved from her position in over an hour. She’d been right. They’d continued to bring each other up for hours until one of them had called it, and it had been Lea in the end.

Still, Jewel felt a slight unease about it all, wondering where they stood, and what tomorrow would bring when the left Indigo and went home. She’d never thought she’d want to stay in one place forever. But she did. Jewel wanted to stay right where she was for as long as possible, all the while knowing she couldn’t.
