Lynn kissed her again. “Yes. You’re right. Even if this ends, I want the memory.”
“Me too.” Dani slid her hand down and pulled Lynn’s shirt up, exposing her hot skin to the air.
The sudden coolness on her skin made Lynn shiver. She pressed close and pulled at Dani’s hair so she could kiss her again. “T-Then touch me.”
“Hmmm…” Dani ran her tongue along Lynn’s teeth, and when Lynn eagerly parted her lips, met her tongue.
Lynn allowed Dani to roll her onto her back. “C-Careful with your k-knee.” She hesitated, wondering where to put her hands, then remembered she might only have this once and ran her fingers down Dani’s back until she reached her ass. If this was going to be the only time, she wanted to experience it all.
Dani chuckled against her skin. “I’m careful.” She slid her lips and tongue—oh, that tongue—down to her neck again as she settled more securely on top of Lynn’s buzzing body.
Lynn squeezed the firm flesh under her hands.
Dani moaned and bit down lightly on the skin of her neck.
If her tongue stroking Lynn’s neck caused flames of desire, her teeth caused an inferno. “Oh!” Lynn gasped, and her body rolled up instinctively even as she tilted her head to give Dani more space to explore. It wasn’t the tiny sting that undid her; it was the reminder that Dani could literally kill her if she bit her with intent, combined with the rush of trusting her not to.
Dani’s tongue soothed her pulsing skin, but the torch was lit: Lynn wanted more.
With a quick move, she pushed Dani onto her back and rolled on top of her.
Hazel eyes blinked open, then widened as Lynn pressed her thigh between Dani’s legs the way she’d done the night before. This time, only one layer of clothing stood between them, and Lynn wished it gone. She wanted to experience this fully, not with all these barriers.
“L-Lynn…” Dani’s breathing had shallowed even more, and need simmered in her eyes—a need to touch, but also to be touched in return. Lynn could feel it in the way Dani’s body strained not to rock too wildly against Lynn’s stilled thigh and the way Dani’s fingers trembled on her back.
She reveled in the reactions she caused in Dani. It was good to be wanted—to feel alive. She held herself up on her good arm and watched the swirls of emotions in Dani’s eyes. “Can I touch you too?”
For a second, Dani hesitated, then she took a deep breath and sat up.
Lynn moved with her and sat up over her thigh.
Dani took a hold of the hem of her own sweater and pulled it off in one fluid move. Her abdominal muscles visibly relaxed as she settled back down. “Please.”
Lynn’s breath caught. She’d seen Dani naked before, but this time she didn’t have to look away. She could even touch. Her hand trembled as she reached out.
Dani watched her face, not her hand. Her chest rose and fell rapidly.
Lynn felt light-headed as she traced a line down the valley between Dani’s small breasts and watched goose bumps appear on the nearly unmarred skin. Her dark nipples tightened. When she flattened her palm over Dani’s belly and guided it down, Dani’s abdominal muscles rose to tension in a very slow, rolling wave that kept time with Lynn’s hand. Lynn trailed only the tips of her fingers down to the edge of Dani’s curls.
When Lynn stopped, Dani whimpered. The firelight added shadows to already contoured muscles and made Dani’s body appear even more powerful.
Lynn flattened her hand over Dani’s mound and took a shuddering breath. “You are so impressive.”
Dani’s seemed unable to form words. Her lips parted but closed again seconds after. She licked them slowly. Her cheeks had turned even more intensely red than their kissing had already colored them. “I-I feel like I’m burning up from the inside out.” She gripped Lynn’s thighs and massaged urgently, as if trying to alleviate her need by touch alone.
Lynn knew exactly how she felt. Her blood pulsed through her veins like wildfire and fueled the desire to consume the beauty literally at her fingertips. She was starting to resent the remaining layers between them, and—as always, it seemed—the layers were put there by her. Dani was naked but Lynn was still fully clothed. She tugged her sweater up.
By the time she lowered her arms and tossed the sweater aside, Dani’s gaze had dropped to her breasts and then down to her belly.
Lynn felt self-conscious under her gaze. She’d seen herself naked only a few days ago, so she knew about the protruding bones, the marks, and the flatness of her chest. Dani had at least a little fat to fill her out, but Lynn had none. She swallowed. “S-Sorry I’m not—”
“Shhh…” Dani slid her hands up from Lynn’s thighs to her sides and then ran her thumbs over Lynn’s hardened nipples.
Lynn gasped, and her eyelids fluttered.
“When was the last time your body felt good?”
“N-Never.” All her life her body had been a source of pain, a tool she tried to keep in one piece in order to assure her survival. Dani’s touch provoked pleasure for what was probably the first time in her life.
Dani pushed up slowly and smiled up at her as her thumbs continued to tease. “Does it feel good now?”
Lynn opened her eyes with difficulty and met Dani’s gaze. Her eyes held nothing but acceptance and enjoyment. Lynn nodded. “Yes.”
“How about now?” Dani slid one hand over Lynn’s ribcage and replaced her fingers with her warm, wet mouth around her straining nipple.
A loud moan tore from Lynn’s throat, and her arms jerked uselessly before she wrapped them around Dani’s head and pushed her closer. Every swirl of Dani’s tongue overwhelmed her senses. Heat pooled low in her belly, where the ache gained strength by the second.
Dani switched breasts, and her hands traversed down Lynn’s back.
Lynn gave in to the need to rock her hips against Dani’s thigh. She still didn’t know what to do with her arms, so she just held on for dear life.
Thankfully, Dani didn’t seem to mind the awkward hold. She let go with a pop and swirled her tongue over the sensitive bud instead.
Lynn withstood the blissful torment as long as she could. When Dani’s teeth closed around her nipple and scraped it, she cried out, and something gave way inside of her. A rush of need urged her to grope for Dani’s face. She cupped her cheeks and tipped her head up so she could kiss her with the desire to devour.
Dani met her tongue with equal hunger and let her hands roam more freely. They pushed into the back of her pants to squeeze her ass and then guided her down against her leg, helping her move.
Lynn lost the ability to think, which felt just as good as Dani’s hands and the pressure between her legs. A base instinct to feel overtook her, and she pushed Dani down, moving with her so she wouldn’t have to stop kissing her.
As soon as Dani’s back hit the bedding, she started tugging at Lynn’s pants.
Lynn pulled up to give her room and held herself up on her uninjured arm so she could help with her free hand. It took some doing to kick off the last barrier between them while she stubbornly refused to let go of Dani’s lips and tongue, but when Lynn was finally able to press her body down onto Dani’s hot skin, it was all worth it. Nothing could have prepared her for the feel of skin on skin, curls against curls, hard nipples against her breasts. “Ohhh!”
Dani ran her hands up and down her spine, over her ass, her hips, her arms.
Yesterday’s manic rocking had given her a glimpse of the pleasure hidden in the joining of their bodies, but it was entirely different and much more intense now that they were both naked. Lynn rubbed herself against Dani’s rock-hard thigh and relished the sparks that buzzed through her every time she hit a spot that made her gasp. She struggled for a rhythm that allowed her to push against Dani too and let her experience this as well.
