Page 14 of Stolen Hearts (WaterColor Romance #7)

Autumn had never been the type of woman to watch a lover sleep.

However, she had barely been able to take her eyes off of Quinn since they’d laid down in Quinn’s bed for the night.

After some truly body bending sex, they’d gone back down to the party for a while.

It had grown late, and Autumn had been getting ready to drive home when Quinn invited her to stay the night.

Autumn had downplayed her reaction, but she’d been truly excited by the invitation.

Quinn had given her an old t-shirt to sleep in and a pair of comfy sweatpants.

Quinn had accepted her into her space without any hesitation at all.

Autumn rolled to her bed, but her eyes still slid back to Quinn.

Quinn’s dark hair lay fanned out around her head.

She rolled over and closed her eyes. It was far too soon to swoon over Quinn.

The next morning Autumn woke up to the sound of Quinn in the kitchen.

The scent of something cooking filled Autumn’s nostrils and bid her to follow it.

Quinn was in the kitchen obviously cooking something.

Autumn caught sight of her, and breakfast dropped from her first priority to her last. Quinn wore nothing but an oversized t-shirt and a thong.

Was she supposed to be able to make thoughts with Quinn’s amazing ass in her face?

Quinn noticed her come in and took a break from breakfast to give her a kiss on the lips.

Now that Autumn knew exactly what Quinn looked like underneath that baggy t-shirt, that was all she could think about.

“What’s for breakfast?” Autumn asked. She had to at least try to maintain the facade of control.

“Whatever you want?” Quinn smiled.

A million teases ran through Autumn’s mind.

“What are you having?” Autumn tried again.

“I’m just having an omelet. I can fix you something better if you want.”

Autumn’s core tightened and she decided to lean into the sensation. After everything they’d done last night, she doubted there was much off the table. Autumn reached out and grabbed Quinn’s wrist. She pulled her gently towards her.

“And what if what I want for breakfast is you?” Autumn asked.

Quinn pulled away slightly, eyeing her.

“Autumn, cannibalism is a hard boundary for me,” Quinn quirked a smile to let Autumn know she was teasing.

The fluster she felt from the jab was enough. Autumn glanced over to make sure that Quinn’s omelet was safely off the stove. She pulled Quinn in and kissed her neck right below her ear.

“I think you’re omelet is going to get cold,” Autumn whispered.

“I have a microwave,” Quinn challenged. Autumn smiled at Quinn’s response, not much knocked the woman off her game.

She grabbed Quinn by the shoulders and directed her to sit on one of the bar stools by the kitchen island.

Once Quinn sat, Autumn lowered herself to her knees.

She was sure that she saw a shudder run through Quinn.

Autumn parted Quinn’s thighs with her hands.

She began kissing down Quinn’s thighs towards her feet.

Autumn lifted Quinn’s foot to her mouth and put her big toe inside, giving it a suck.

Quinn leaned back in the chair, though she was obviously taken off guard.

“Never had your toes sucked?” Autumn asked.

“It’s never come up,” Quinn laughed.

Autumn opened her mouth around Quinn’s smaller toes giving them light sucks and licks as well. Quinn leaned back farther.

“Are you a fan?” Autumn asked.

“New kink unlocked,” Quinn sighed. Autumn couldn’t resist the urge to chuckle.

Autumn began kissing her way back up Quinn’s thigh. She reached Quinn’s clit and halted. Her tongue flicked slowly against Quinn’s clit.

“Fuck,” Quinn whimpered.

Autumn pressed her tongue against Quinn’s clit and made a sweeping motion, side to side. Quinn cried out then practically melted into her chair as her orgasm hit her.

“You came so fast,” Autumn observed her tone a whisper.

Quinn hooked her finger beneath Autumn’s chin motioning for her to stand.

“It’s been a while. And I’m still just excited that you’re here.”

Autumn smiled at Quinn. She couldn’t help the way her heart melted a little at Quinn’s words. Quinn slid her hands over Autumn’s hands and placed them on the overhanging countertop.

“Hold on,” Quinn said grinning wickedly.

Quinn knelt in front of Autumn and hooked her fingers inside the gray sweatpants, pulling them down.

Quinn’s hands slid between her thighs and up her body until she was cupping Autumn’s ass.

Autumn let out an audible groan as Quinn’s lips found her clit and gave it a tiny suck.

Autumn bit down on her lower lip to keep herself from whimpering as Quinn continued.

Quinn switched from sucking to swiping her tongue across Autumn’s clit, then went back to sucking.

Autumn’s grip hardened against the countertop as she thrust against Quinn.

Her orgasm came so quickly she almost lost her feet.

Quinn was there to steady Autumn, her hands still gripping onto her.

Quinn helped her ride through the aftershocks before finally halting her tongue’s teasing.

Autumn glanced down at her, and Quinn smiled.

“You came pretty fast, too,” Quinn smirked.

Autumn leaned down to give her a kiss on the mouth.

“Well, I’m just happy to be here,” Autumn laughed.

Quinn rose to her feet. She moved a stray strand of Autumn’s blonde hair behind her ear and leaned in kissing her on the cheek.

“So, what do you want to do today?” Quinn asked.

“There’s what I want to do. Which is continue whatever we’ve been doing. Then there’s what I need to do, which is get some work done.”

Quinn offered a nod of her head. She handed Autumn the omelet that she’d already made, sensing the growing time constraints.

Autumn was grateful that Quinn seemed to understand.

She ate the omelet as Quinn prepared another one for herself.

When she was done eating Autumn gathered her stray clothes and began to get dressed.

Fortunately, it didn’t take long to slide into the gold dress and her heels.

“Let’s get together later tonight,” Autumn offered.

“I would like that,” Quinn grinned. She was at the counter eating her own omelet.

Why was it that everything Quinn did was so adorable? She even made eating an omelet look cute.

“Okay. I’ll text you in a bit,” Autumn promised.

“You better,” Quinn teased.

“I had an amazing time last night,” Autumn added.

“Me, too. This was well worth the wait,” Quinn smiled.

Autumn’s heart did a tiny flip in her chest. It was too soon for these kinds of feelings to be coming to the surface.

Not after only one night together. She hadn’t even gone on a date with Quinn yet.

Still her body reacted to Quinn unlike it had to any woman before.

After the night they’d shared together, Autumn knew they fit together perfectly.

She took a couple steps towards Quinn. Autumn kissed Quinn’s cheek then turned to go.

The walk back to her car felt like a dream.

Last night had been so raw and filled with realness that now everything around her was in a haze.

Autumn knew damn well; she wasn’t going to be able to get any work done before unpacking the night before.

Her phone was in her hand sending a text to Piper before she had time to think about it.

Piper had always been the kind of friend to text back immediately.

Today was no exception. Autumn slid into her car and drove to Piper’s home.

Piper took one look at Autumn still in her gold dress and laughed. She moved to the side of her door allowing Autumn to come inside.

“Seems like things with Quinn went well,” Piper suggested.

“Really well,” Autumn affirmed.

“Let’s hear all about it.”

“Last night was incredible. Maybe too incredible.”

“There’s no such thing as too incredible. Especially when it comes to sexy time.”

Autumn rolled her eyes.

“We haven’t even been out on a date yet. I just want to slow things down.”

“Hmm are you having cold feet?” Piper asked.

“Honestly, I’m having the opposite.”

“Oh? Then why the sudden need to take a step back?”

“It’s a little too cliche to go all in so fast.”

“I’m not sure I understand. What about this feels like you’re going all in?”

“I think it’s mostly mental or emotional. It’s just rare for me to feel so connected so quickly. But with Quinn, connecting has come so easily. Which is great. It’s amazing to feel so open with someone. But it’s also very new and I don’t want to risk rushing through things too fast.”

Piper reached out and lay a hand against Autumn’s arm.

“There’s nothing wrong with taking the time to enjoy the journey. It sounds like the two of you have amazing chemistry. And Quinn obviously makes you feel safe. By all means take your time, friend.”

Autumn shot Piper a smile. Her friend seemed to understand exactly where she was coming from.

“You know, I do have an idea for you and Quinn,” Piper grinned.

“What’s that?”

“Bring her over here for dinner. I’ve been dying to have a dinner party.”

Autumn sighed but smiled at her friend.

“Come on there are worse things than making sure Quinn gets along with your friends.”

“I’m pretty sure Quinn gets along with everyone. But sure. If you want to have a dinner party, I’ll invite her,” Autumn laughed.

“Fantastic. Let’s get everyone together in two days,” Piper suggested.

“It’s a date,” Autumn laughed.

Autumn felt a growing warmth in her chest. She liked the idea of having Quinn get more familiar with her friends.

What was more, Autumn knew instinctively that Quinn would love the idea.

There was something about Quinn that made Autumn want to hand her heart over.

All she could hope was that Quinn would take care of it.
