Leaning in, Kamryn pressed their mouths together.

“Thank you, really. I love the gift.”

“Good.” Elia swiftly moved in and kissed her again.

Kamryn sank into the embrace. She let go of the box and threaded her fingers into the hair behind Elia’s head, pulling her in even closer. “Are we really doing this?” Kamryn asked.

“If you want to,” Elia answered, kissing her again. “And for the record…” another kiss, “I want to.” Elia was pressing their bodies together. “I want to remember why I love you so much.”

Kamryn smiled at that. “And you need sex to do that?”

“No,” Elia whispered, pressing their mouths together in a quick kiss. “Just time with you, and a promise that you won’t ever let me forget.”

Kamryn grinned at that. She moved to put the box on the nightstand next to the bed and immediately pulled Elia with her onto the mattress. She wanted to get lost in Elia’s body tonight, to be completely taken over by what they could do together and more.

“I feel like I owe you a gift,” Kamryn murmured against Elia’s neck as she pressed kisses down on her collarbone. “You should have warned me that you were getting me something.”

“Gifts given in surprise are better. Don’t you think?” Elia moaned lightly, arching her back against Kamryn as they laid down together.

“I don’t know,” Kamryn said, pulling Elia’s shirt upward. “Please tell me you have a lock on the door.”

Elia frowned before she glanced over Kamryn’s shoulder at the door. “Yes.”

“Good.” Kamryn jumped up from the bed.

She had the door locked in a snap. Instead of immediately going back to the bed, Kamryn started to strip off her clothes. Elia watched her carefully from the bed, one hand tossed over her head in a pose of relaxation. Kamryn knew it was exactly the opposite though. She unzipped her jeans and shimmied out of them. She loved that Elia wouldn’t look away from her. She’d never felt more attractive than when Elia was watching her like this.

“Are you going to get undressed?” Kamryn asked, wishing that she could watch Elia just like Elia had watched her.

“Do you want me to?” Elia asked, dragging her gaze all over Kamryn’s naked body.

“Hmm, yes.” Kamryn’s lips quirked up at her. “So much yes.”

Elia moved to sit up, starting with her shirt. She slowly stripped herself while Kamryn stood watching. This could very well be her favorite part of their sex life so far. The slow pulling off of all the responsibilities and weights and masks that they wore throughout the day so that they were purely themselves and no one else. Kamryn had never thought of it like that before Elia. But she could see how this was the way that they came together authentically, them together and only them.

When Elia lay back on the bed, Kamryn winked. “I’d love your mouth.”

“Then that’s what you’ll have.” Elia started to move, but Kamryn knelt on the bed and pushed her back down, shaking her head.

She wanted this to happen a certain way, the idea coming to her far too late in the game, but she wanted to make sure thatshe and Elia could do this together—she absolutely loved it when they did that.

“Lie down,” Kamryn said. “On your back. I’d like to be on top.”

“Oh!” Elia’s curiosity turned into a wicked joy. Kamryn wished she could bottle that and keep it. She adored Elia more and more each day that they spent together, the hopes and dreams that they were weaving around each other, individually and as a couple. It was like they were made for each other sometimes, and Kamryn leaned into those moments every chance that she got.

When Elia had a pillow under her head, Kamryn climbed onto the bed, walking on her knees until she was straddling Elia’s waist. She wasn’t going to wait or drag this out. The day had been long, and what she wanted most was to connect with Elia in a way only the two of them managed to do.

“I love you,” Kamryn said, not sure if Elia was paying any attention to her words or not. Elia was running her hands up and down Kamryn’s thighs, her gaze locked right between her legs, that hungry look back in her eyes again. Kamryn touched Elia’s nose lightly with one finger to get her attention. “You ready for this?”

“Absolutely.”

Kamryn lifted one knee over Elia’s shoulder and then the other, planting herself firmly over Elia’s face. She had longed for this for weeks now, but she hadn’t been bold enough to ask for it. Not until tonight.

Elia grabbed Kamryn’s ass, pushing her forward and right where both of them wanted her. Elia’s lips curled upward quickly before she dove right in. Kamryn sighed in pleasure, the sensations rolling through her instantly. Elia was so damn good with her mouth. Kamryn adored it. And she never wanted to forget moments like these where she’d absolutely lose her mindjust to be tongue-fucked by this powerful and no longer icy woman under her.

Kamryn took her time centering her balance so she knew she wouldn’t accidentally topple over. Then she leaned back, sliding her hand along Elia’s body, from her waist to her hip and down her leg and right back up it. Kamryn grinned to herself as she pressed her fingers between Elia’s legs and waited for the hitch of a hiccup.

Instead, she was greeted with a widening of Elia’s knees so that she could slip her fingers as deep inside Elia as they would go. Elia didn’t falter in her pace. She licked and sucked just like she had been before. Now Kamryn was just damn determined to get Elia off track.
