I don't. I'm not. I've never.
Problem was, not a syllable would take shape on her tongue and let the words
spill out. Words she needed to say. Words she should say. Really, really should
say.
Words including goodbye.
She should march right out the front door, and forget all about Princess Felicity.
Maddy knew it was the right thing to do. Or the smart thing, anyway. She
always did the smart thing. Stayed two steps ahead. Her life was one big game of
chess. Guess your enemy's move, then be in place with a smirk when they tried
to barge in on your turf.
But somehow Lissy had trumped her gambit. Maddy'd missed a crucial move
somewhere, and found the white queen waiting to knock her down.
God, she was really losing it to be thinking about chess at a time like this. There
were other things to concentrate on.
Good example: Lissy's hands, gently stroking up and down her forearms.
Better example: Lissy's eyes, wide and brown and full of awe, staring into
Maddy's own, looking for answers to questions silently asked.

Best example: the growing wet heat between Maddy's own thighs. Dampening
the scrap of silky thong she'd worn without thinking. The scent of arousal crept
up between them, musky and rich.
Lissy half-closed her eyes, smiling.
You smell kinda like me, she murmured. I didn't know another woman
would be so sweet. She breathed in. Like French perfume. Not really what
you'd call flowers, but good. Real good. Fine as wine."
"Lissy. Maddy felt her cheeks turning red. God, what kind of woman talked like
her? Don't."
"Sorry. Lissy didn't look the least bit apologetic. In fact, her full lips curved up
into a grin as she breathed in a second time, so not hiding how she was savoring
the smell. Makes me kinda proud, she said, voice dreamy. Knowin it's me
who made you hot."
"Lissy!"
"Ssh. Lissy leaned forward no shame, no blushes and nuzzled her lips
against the base of Maddy's throat. Maddy gasped when she felt the flicker of a
tongue against her skin. Once, twice, and again. Then, the pressure of lips, light
and faint. A butterfly kiss, Lissy's eyelashes tickling her skin.
"You're sweet, Maddy, she said. Sweet as autumn berries. Always liked those
best. Hardest to find, but they're all ripe from a summer full of sunshine. Juicy,
sugary, plump. Taste so good on your tongue. You never had anything better
until you've tried one, and then you never want green fruit again."
Maddy felt herself begin to sway, lulled by Lissy's soft siren song and the lips
dancing against the skin of her throat. Gentle hands slid further down Maddy's
arms, to her wrists, and then her hands. Lissy played with her fingertips, patting
each one with her own.
Weird.
Really weird.
And sexy as hell.

Maddy found herself thinking about Lissy taking those fingers into her mouth
and sucking on them. Lapping each one with her small pink tongue. Maybe
nipping, just to play. She could see Lissy's mischievous pixie smile already.
The wet warmth began to soak through Maddy's silky thong. A ripple ran across
her lower belly. Not meaning to, Maddy leaned forward into Lissy's delicate
touches, aching to feel them go deeper. Scared to death, yeah, but she wanted
more. Couldn't help herself.
"Lissy. She breathed out the name. Please..."
"Yeah? Lissy asked. She began to kiss her way down Maddy's chest, stopping at
the place where her collarbones met. This is okay? I mean, really okay?"
"Mmm."
"You scared?"
"Mm-hmm."
"Want me to stop?"
Maddy swallowed. No, she said, raw as unbrushed silk. I just ... I got no idea
what I'm doing. How we got here."
Lissy giggled against Maddy's skin. Me either. Nor where we're goin'."
"Nope."
"Mind if I figure out where to turn next? Which way we're headed?"
"Hmm?"
"I'm thinkin being non-verbal, that's probably a good sign, Lissy mused. So
how about I do this? After all, I was talkin about autumn berries, and I've had an
awful urge to try yours out since you leaned over me today and I saw down the
front of your pretty blue sweatshirt..."
"Mmm ... what? Lissy?"
"Ssh. Lissy's small hands traveled upwards, trailing a path along Maddy's
stomach that buzzed and sparkled. Gentle as blowing fluff from a dandelion, she
pushed up sweatshirt material as she went, rucking it up high. Maddy winced,

wishing she'd thought to wear a bra but she'd been dressed for Saturday
casual, and that meant leaving the boulder holder off.
Cool air brushed over Maddy's breasts ever so briefly, puckering her nipples
hard as, well rocks.
Then, Lissy's lips closed over the tip of Maddy's breast, sucking it like one of her
favorite autumn berries for all the sweet juice it held.
Lips and tongue both worked gently as a baby, but her hands were all grown up,
cupping the weight of Maddy's breast in her palm. It overflowed, too big for her
to hold the whole globe.
"Full. Lissy's breath tickled so fine.
Maddy moaned despite herself.
Couldn't help it.
Wet suckling brush of warm air soft fingers "Ripe and heavy. I always
wanted big ones. Figured I'd lost out by bein so small. But now I think I've got
the pair I always dreamed of."
Maddy laughed out loud, and then gasped as Lissy's mouth stopped with the
talking and started back up with the kissing. Also with the licking, and biting.
She crooned soft nonsense between sucks as Maddy moaned, and all but purred
when Maddy, unable to stop herself, brought her red-tipped nails up to tangle in
Lissy's new pixie cut.
"Sweet, Lissy whispered. Just so sweet. I could eat you all up. Ain't that
strange? But... she said, drawing one finger back downwards, don't think I care
too much. I think I'm havin too much fun to go askin questions right now. I
think I want to take another curve in the road."
Oh. Oh, God.
"Lissy Maddy choked.
"Ssh. Lissy's mouth left Maddy's breast, puckered and damp, to travel back up [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
