“Is this too much teasing for you?”

Laughing, Miranda shook her head. This time when she opened her eyes, her pupils nearly took over the honeyed brown. “Never and always.”

“What does that even mean?” Tori slid a finger in knuckle deep. She backed out and added a second.

“Fuck.” Miranda breathed heavily, hitting her head against the wall. “I should have done this sooner.”

“You won’t hear any arguments from me on that one.” Tori scraped her teeth against the soft, pillowy skin of Miranda’s breasts. She wanted to taste and tease, but right now she was scared that if she moved either one of her hands, Miranda would collapse to the floor in a puddle. She pumped her fingers, curling them to give Miranda everything she needed.

“Tori.” Miranda breathed. “I don’t want to be with anyone else.”

Tori’s cheeks heated, warmth spreading through her at the genuineness in Miranda’s words.

“I’m not just saying that.”

“You never say things you don’t mean.” Tori pushed Miranda against the wall harder. “Look at me.”

“I don’t think I can.” Miranda struggled to talk.

“I want you to see me when you come.” Tori pulled her lip between her teeth. She was never this demanding during sex. Miranda must bring it out in her. When Miranda didn’t comply, Tori stopped teasing her. She waited as the red drained from Miranda’s cheeks, as her eyelids fluttered open. Tori smiled at her. “That’s what I wanted.”

Miranda snorted and rolled her eyes.

“Perfect.” Tori resumed the pattern she’d had before, thrusting in slow, long strokes. She would make the most of this, not because it was their last time or their first, but because this time, they truly understood each other.

Keeping her eyes open, Miranda held Tori’s gaze as she convulsed around her fingers, the tight squeezes exactly what Tori had wanted to feel. She kept her hand between Miranda’s legs as she leaned in for a sloppy kiss. This had been what they were missing before. The openness, the connection, the relationship and understanding, and friendship, and yes, the sex. Tori stayed right where she was as everything around them slowed down.

“I’m so glad you’re friends with your exes,” Miranda laughed as she spoke. “They’re good women. Really.”

“The best of friends.” Tori kissed her again. “Think you can stand on your own two feet yet?”

Miranda whined and shook her head. “Give me another minute.”

“Of course.” Tori moved her hand, holding on to Miranda’s hips as she kept her plastered to the wall. “We need to do this again. Naked.”

“I’d expect nothing less from you.”

“All night?”

Miranda groaned. “I’m exhausted from whatever the drama was between us.”

“See? Not communicating leads to exhaustion, and exhaustion means no all-night sex. What more proof do you need that communication is a good thing?”

“Shut up,” Miranda muttered with a smile. “This whole told you so attitude is over the top.”

“Is it, though?” Tori winked and kissed Miranda loudly. “I’m not giving you an option. Naked. Now.”

Tori kept her hands on Miranda’s hips as she stepped back. Miranda was steady, though the look she gave Tori was one of annoyance. Maybe Miranda really liked being pressed up against the wall, the control option taken away. That was something they would have to play with in the future.

“Get on the bed.” Tori raised an eyebrow, giving Miranda a direct look. “I want you to sit on my face.”

Miranda laughed as she stripped the rest of her clothes. “So all night it is, then?”

“Why would you think otherwise?”

“Excellent.”
