Chapter 19

Blair

Blair had not given Erin a chance to touch her yet, and this had already been the best sex of her life. Erin was vocal and reactive and

oh so sexy

. Blair wanted to spend the whole night worshipping her, but they didn’t have the whole night so she would make it her mission to take advantage of the time they did have. Especially if Erin had taken her seriously when she said it could be a one-time thing. That was the last thing Blair wanted, but she was not going to harp on that right now.

“Is it okay if I get something?” Erin asked between deep breaths.

“Something? What kind of something?” Blair asked, even though she had a pretty good idea what kind of something it might be, and the fact that Erin had some sort of sex toy with her had Blair extremely turned on.

“You’ll see.” Erin smirked and stood from the bed, her naked body fully on display for Blair to see, and holy fuck, what a sight it was.

Erin went through her bag and pulled out what appeared to be a small vibrator. Blair could barely breathe as she stared at the object in Erin’s hand. Still, she couldn’t resist the urge to tease her after what Erin had put her through the other day.

“So, you made fun of me for masturbating in the shower, when

you

brought a vibrator along on this trip?”

“I may have brought it, but I didn’t actually use it. From the sounds of it, you did actually masturbate in the shower, though.”

“Can you blame me?” Blair asked with a laugh. “You’re so fucking hot. How was I supposed to make it through a whole week sharing a bed with you and

not

touch myself while picturing your face.”

Erin’s smile dropped and she swallowed hard. “You were picturing me?”

Blair laughed. “Of course I was. I was so turned on just from kissing your neck, I thought I might explode. I had to get it out.”

Erin dropped the toy on the nightstand, but didn’t make a move to get back in the bed. “Show me.”

“Show you what?” The air was thick between them and Blair was ready to come just from all of this sexual tension.

Erin nodded her head toward the bathroom. “Go in the shower and show me how you got yourself off. Tell me what you were thinking about while you did it. I promise I’ll finally get you off after you show me, but I need to see this first. Please?” Erin added as if it would actually take any convincing to get Blair to do that.

Blair hopped out of the bed and practically ran to the bathroom, turning on the shower as soon as she got inside. She kept the water cool hoping it would chill her out a bit, but it was no use. When Erin licked her lips as Blair stepped into the shower, Blair knew she was completely done for.

Just like that morning in the shower, she wasted no time moving her hand between her legs. “I touched myself like this while I closed my eyes and pictured you.” Instead of closing her eyes this time, Blair stared straight into Erin’s as she ran her fingers over herself. “I pictured those eyes and that smile and that fucking sexy body.” Watching Erin was such a turn-on that she was already getting close. She moved her hips against her hand as her fingers went to work. She moved to her opening and shoved two deep inside of herself. “I pretended it was you touching me like this and, I… I…”

Fuck, I’m so close.

“And it was these thoughts that made me come all over my hand. The…” Blair struggled to catch her breath as her fingers moved faster of their own volition. “The same way I’m going to right now.” As if she had planned it, Blair’s orgasm shot through her at that very moment. She closed her eyes and bit her bottom lip as she tried to come down from this high.

She was so distracted by her own orgasm she didn’t even realize Erin had gotten into the shower with her until she felt a tongue on her clit.

Holy shit! She’s going right in.

Blair moved her hands into Erin’s hair because she was ready for her.

When Erin pulled away from her, Blair wanted to scream in frustration, but the words that left Erin’s lips took all of that frustration away. “You taste even better than I expected. I want to suck you dry.”

Blair would’ve never expected Erin to be someone who talked dirty during sex, and the shock value made it that much sexier. Erin moved her head back between Blair’s legs and immediately sucked Blair’s clit into her mouth.

“Fuuuuck,” Blair groaned as Erin fulfilled her dirty promise.

Erin’s tongue remained on Blair’s clit while she penetrated her with one finger, followed by another, and then finally, a third. She moved her fingers in and out of Blair while she continued to lap at her clit with her tongue. She sucked Blair’s clit back into her mouth at the same time she curled her fingers inside of Blair, and Blair fell apart all over again.

As Blair held on to the side of the shower and tried to recover, Erin stood up and turned off the water. She took Blair’s hands and held them above her head as she pushed her against the back of the shower and kissed her in a way she had never been kissed before. It was hard, yet somehow also soft. It was rushed without being sloppy.

Erin let go of Blair’s hands then brought hers over Blair’s chest and squeezed her breasts so hard it caused a pain that Blair loved. “Wanna get back in bed, so my vibrator can actually get a bit of action on this trip?”

Blair chuckled between deep breaths. “Definitely. Wouldn’t want it to feel left out.”

***

The alarm went off on Blair’s phone as she struggled to catch her breath from yet another amazing orgasm. “Shit. I set that as a reminder of our dinner reservations. We're supposed to be there in a half hour.”

But I really don’t want to get out of this bed.

“Can I be honest?” Erin asked with a laugh. “It’s super sweet you made those reservations, but the last thing I want to do right now is leave this room.”

“Oh, thank god.” Blair burst into laughter as well. She couldn’t help it. She was so fucking happy right now. “I don’t want to either.”

“Room service?”

Blair held up her pointer finger. “One condition.” She made a point of running her eyes up and down Erin’s body, which was not a hard task, because

fuck

, this woman was hot. “You have to eat naked.”

Erin smirked and lifted her eyebrows. “I will if you will.”

Blair laughed again. “Oh, you don’t have to worry about that. I have no plans of putting my clothes on.”

After ordering almost everything on the menu, Blair and Erin made small talk while they waited for the food to arrive. It was so normal and mundane and everything Blair wanted for the rest of her life.

Speaking of which…

“I kind of lied earlier,” Blair said hesitantly. She hated to burst this sex haze they were in, but she needed to say this before she chickened out.

Erin sat up in the bed, a look of concern overtaking her face. “What do you mean? About what?”

Blair took Erin’s hand and held it between hers. “It’s nothing bad. I promise.” Blair took a deep breath through her nose and blew it out through her mouth. This was definitely the most vulnerable she had ever been with a woman. “I just… I didn’t actually want that to be a one-time thing. I know you said it would never work, but I want more than just sex. I want sleepy

good mornings

and goodnight kisses and yeah, I want more sex, but I want the big messy feelings that come along with it.”

Blair could see it written all over Erin’s face the moment the words left her mouth. Whatever Erin had to say was not going to lead to their happily ever after. “Listen, what just happened between us was the most magical experience of my entire life, but it can’t happen again. I wish I could open my heart to you completely, but it’s too big of a risk.”

“Why is it such a risk?”

“Blair, when I interviewed you for this babysitting position, you made it sound like you really never wanted children. When you date a single mom, you’re not just dating her.”

“I know.” Blair squeezed Erin’s hand and scooted closer to her. “I don’t just want a relationship with you. I’m in this for both of you.”

“I’m just…” Blair wasn’t expecting Erin to burst into tears, but that was exactly what happened. “I’m too scared. I’m not ready.”

Blair used one hand to rub Erin’s back. “It’s okay. I’m willing to wait until you are, until then we can be strictly friends. No funny business until you’re ready.”

“But what if I can’t get there? What if I’m never ready?”

Blair shrugged. It was getting harder to keep a smile on her face. “Then at least I can say that I tried.”

Erin threw her hands in the air. “You shouldn’t have to. It’s not fair to you. My past shouldn’t shape

your

future.”

Blair was losing her and needed to do something to bring her back down to earth. “Shh. It’s okay.” She wrapped both arms around Erin and held her tight. “How ’bout this? Let’s take it one day at a time and see what happens. Just don't count me out, okay?”

“One day at a time?” Erin asked, sounding more hopeful now.

Blair nodded slowly. “One day at a time.”

Erin nodded too. “Okay. I can do that.”

Hopefully I can too,

Blair thought to herself.

***

After two more hours of eating and chatting over much lighter topics, Blair decided they should probably relieve Marisol. They both reluctantly got dressed, then Blair texted Marisol to say they were done eating and back at their hotel room.

Perfect timing

, Marisol texted back,

We were just heading that way.

Less than five minutes later, there was a knock at the hotel room door. “Mommy? Bear?”

Blair didn’t realize how much she had missed Nolan these past few hours until she heard his sweet little voice. She jumped out of bed to run to the door and greet him. “Coming, buddy!”

As soon as she opened the door, Nolan jumped into her arms. “Bear! I missed you.”

Blair chuckled and held him tightly. “I missed you too.”

“Did you have a good time?” Erin asked as she walked up behind Blair and Nolan and placed a hand on Blair’s shoulder.

“I had the best time!” Nolan wiggled out of Blair’s arms and jumped into his mom’s arms. “We went on

so many

rides.”

“That’s amazing.” Blair focused her attention on Marisol and Damien, who were still standing in the doorway. “I can’t thank you two enough for doing that for us.”

Marisol crinkled her eyebrows as she stared at Blair, studying her face as if she was looking for the answer to a question she hadn’t asked. “Did

you two

have fun?” She looked between Blair and Erin. Blair could hardly stand still under the heat of her stare.

“We had a really nice time,” Erin answered before Blair could. “It was very refreshing.”

“Refreshing. Huh.” Marisol nodded and looked at Blair. “Can we talk out here really quick?” She now moved her gaze to Erin. “Just a quick bestie chat. I won’t keep her for long, I promise.”

Erin waved a hand at them. “Take your time. After keeping my son entertained these past few hours, the least I can do is give you a few minutes with your best friend.”

Blair nodded and followed Marisol out into the hallway. Marisol took a few dollar bills out of her pocket and handed them to Damien. “Sweetie, could you go get me a soda from the vending machine?

“You got it.” Damien snatched the money from her and walked down the hall.

Marisol watched him retreat, and as soon as he was out of view, she turned on her heels to stare at Blair. She crossed her arms over her chest and lifted one eyebrow. “I thought you said this wasn’t a date.”

“It… it wasn’t.”

“Oh yeah?” Marisol smirked. “If it wasn’t a date, why did you have sex with her?”

“I didn’t ha—” Blair sighed. There was no sense in lying to her best friend. She clearly already knew the truth. “How do you know we had sex?”

Marisol laughed and clapped her hands together. “We’ve been best friends forever. It’s written

all over

your face.”

Blair shrugged. “It just kind of happened, I guess.”

“You just

happened

to take her clothes off and give her an orgasm?” Marisol asked sarcastically.

“Technically, all she was wearing at the time was a towel. And also, there wasn’t just

one

orgasm.” Blair smiled proudly as she thought about Erin’s face as she fell apart beneath her.

God, that woman is sexy.

“So, what does this mean?” Marisol asked. “Are you two, like, together?”

Blair shook her head. “It’s not like that.”

Even if I really wish it was.

Marisol wiggled her eyebrows, clearly ready for some hot gossip Blair wasn’t able to give her. “So, this was just a hot babysitter hook up?”

Blair cringed. She hated the beautiful thing that had happened between them being equated to a random hook up. “No, it was definitely more than that.”

“Okay.” Marisol moved her hand in a go on motion, prompting Blair to tell her more. “You’re really slacking on the details here.”

Blair sighed. Clearly Marisol wasn’t going to let her get away with giving the bare minimum. “I want this to be more, but Erin isn’t ready. She’s been burned by multiple people in the past, and she’s worried I’m going to do the same.”

Marisol’s eyes went wide as she softened her tone a bit. “I mean I can’t say I blame her there.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Blair didn’t mean to get defensive, but if her own best friend wasn’t on her side, who would be?

Marisol shrugged. “You know I love you more than anything in the world, Blair, but you went from never dating to suddenly wanting to date someone with a

child

. I can’t help but wonder if you’ve really thought this through, or if you’re just being impulsive. You

do

have a tendency of doing that.”

She wasn’t wrong. Blair often had the tendency to jump into decisions without thinking them through. But this was different.

Right?

Shit. Now, Blair was questioning herself too. If both Erin and Marisol thought she wasn’t ready to take this on, there must be some validity to it. Blair didn’t want to admit that though, so she crossed her arms over her chest. “I’m going to prove you wrong. Both of you.”

Marisol smirked. “Good. I hope you do.” She reached out and squeezed Blair’s hand. “But

please

do me a favor and protect your heart in the process. You could end up getting really hurt.”

It was too late for that. Blair had already given her heart away, and in the end, if Erin didn’t want her, Blair knew it would shatter her. “I will. I’ll protect it,” Blair said, knowing she had just lied to her best friend for the very first time.

“Good.” Marisol leaned in and gave Blair a kiss on the cheek. “Go have fun with those two. You were right about Nolan. That kid is completely feral, but he’s also the most amazing child in the entire world.”

“Right?” Blair couldn’t help but smile because she knew exactly who he got that from.

The smile didn’t leave her face as she said goodbye to Marisol and went back into the hotel room. “Someone looks happy,” Erin said as soon as she walked back in the door.

“I

am

happy. I’m

very

happy.”

“Bear!” Nolan bounced over to her and hugged her legs. “Mommy told me you guys had so much fun.”

“She said that, huh?” Blair smirked and lifted an eyebrow at Erin, who flipped her off behind Nolan’s back.

“Yep.” Nolan brought a hand up to his mouth and yawned loudly. “I’m really tired. Can we go to bed?”

“You’re

asking

to go to bed?” Erin looked from Nolan to Blair. “We need to have Marisol watch him more often. This

never

happens.”

We.

Blair loved the sound of that, but she also knew she couldn’t allow herself to read into it too much. Erin had been very honest about not being ready for anything.

After getting themselves and Nolan ready for bed, all three of them climbed into the one that

hadn’t

been used for the night’s earlier activities. Within minutes of laying down, Nolan was fast asleep.

Blair reached her arm over his head and wiggled her fingers on the off-chance Erin felt comfortable holding her hand. “I had a lot of fun on this trip,” Blair whispered to her.

Erin intertwined their fingers and squeezed Blair’s hand. “I’m

sure

you did.”

Blair chuckled at her tone. “Don’t get me wrong, tonight was amazing, but I meant the whole trip. It’s been wonderful, and I really don’t want it to end.”

Erin watched Blair for a long time without saying a word, and when she finally spoke, her voice was more serious. “Nolan and I were planning on leaving for my niece’s softball tournament as soon as we dropped you off on Saturday morning. Please don’t feel like you have to, but you’re welcome to come with us if you want.”

“Really? Back in your hometown? With your family?” Even though she was sure Erin didn’t see it that way, this was a huge step.

“Technically, she’s playing about an hour from my hometown, but yes, we’d be staying in my hometown on Saturday night between games.”

“Count me in.”

Erin’s face lit up as if Blair had just told her she won the lottery. “Really?”

“Really. Let’s do it.”
