Juniper’s shoulders pressed into the wood, and her eyes closed, her soft spoken words a balm to her soul. Adriel could literally read a recipe at and it would be hot. The air was still warm with steam and Adriel smelled of soap and mint and something sultry that seemed to naturally cling to her skin. “W-what?”
“I’ve fantasized about…tasting you.”
It was too much. Juniper caught her by the neck and spun them around so Adriel’s back hit the door. Her mouth smashed to hers, hard and hungry, and Adriel growled.
Nipping and kissing, Juniper demanded entry, knocking her knee between her thighs and pressing her stomach flat to hers as she dragged a hand possessively to her chest.
Greedily, she kissed her in a way she had never kissed her before, showing just how much she wanted her. How much she needed to show her everything she’d been ignoring these past few days.
Desire blazed through her. She couldn’t get close enough. She needed to slow down. But her touch was ravenous. Juniper gripped the damp towel and stilled at the sight of blood flecked across her knuckles and she stilled.
“Sorry.” Her gaze turned away. Adriel deserved better.
“You don’t have to apologize, or stop.”
But she did. “Let me at least wash up.”
She nodded then laughed softly. “You’re the one caging me in.”
“Oh. Right.” Juniper stepped back and looked away. Her emotions were all over the place. “I was so afraid I’d lost you.”
“Look at me, Juniper,” Adriel gripped her nightgown, fisting the fabric as she stared at her with raw promise in her eyes. “You have me.”
Her mouth was irresistible, and Juniper was kissing her again. “I want all of you,” she whispered, drunk on desire and thirsty for more. “Every part.”
“Do you sense opposition from me?”
Her eyes closed as she once again stayed her hand and tried to slow her racing heart. “I want you so much, I can hardly breathe.”
“Juniper, love, you have me.” She yanked the towel free, exposing her bare flesh.
“Fuck.” She raked a hand through her knotted hair. “You’re so beautiful.”
Adriel bashfully mirrored the gesture, and drops of water sprinkled her fingers. Her fiery hair spiked in haphazard clumps, making her look all the more adorable and sweet. “When you say that, I believe you mean it.”
Juniper yanked her body close and squeezed her ass. “I wouldn’t lie to you.” She dragged her lips over her throat and licked the drops of water that fell from her hair. “I want to taste and know every sweet inch of you.” She pressed her nose to her pulse and bit playfully at her shoulder.
Adriel gasped, her hands tugging at Juniper’s clothes in frustration. “I want that too.”
Juniper untangled Adriel’s hands from her nightgown and pushed them to her sides. She was so clean and fresh, she didn’t want to spoil her. “Let me just…” Leaning forward, she kissed the ruched tip of her nipple, and Adriel’s head fell back on a moan.
Whimpering, she forked her fingers through Juniper’s tangled hair. Juniper swirled her tongue lower, gripping her by the ribs and sucking her nipple into her mouth, never breaking eye contact.
Adriel’s lips parted, and her knees softened. Delicate ivory skin trailed under her fingertips as she teased her fingers lower. Adriel gasped when she traced the seam of her dewy folds, warm and smooth, hot and inviting, but also delicate like a kiss. She nudged the tip of her finger inside, and Adriel’s scent intensified then perfumed the air.
“Juniper…”
She heard the uncertainty in her voice and stilled. Her finger withdrew, but she kept her hand over her heat, cupping her softly as she turned away to find some scrap of composure. “I’m sorry.”
“It’s not that. I just think we would be more comfortable in a bed.”
Juniper smiled. “Definitely.”
More than anything, she wanted Adriel to be comfortable. She kissed her one last time, briefly, and physically forced herself to step away.
“Go. Go now, before I attack you again. I mean it.” The door clicked, and she was gone. Juniper shook her head at Adriel’s inhuman speed. “And that’s at her weakest.”
She took the fastest shower of her life. Barely drying her body before going to Adriel’s’ bedroom.
Dark promises silently passed within their stare and the air charged with dizzying energy the moment she opened the door. “Do you still want—”
“Very much.” She pulled back the covers and then flushed. “If you still do.”
“I do.” Her smile was nervous, which somehow made her even more tempting. Adriel might be the older one, but Juniper was definitely the more experienced of the two.
Adriel looked up at her nervously. “Do we—"
Juniper toppled her to the bed and kissed her deeply before she could ask any more questions. Her towel fell away. Flesh to flesh, their hands freely explored.
She greedily cupped her luscious curves as her mouth trailed hungry kisses to her chest, plumping her breasts and teasing her until her nipples were wet and hard. Adriel moaned and arched, granting her full access to her beautiful body.
