Chapter 21
CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE
Six months later.
“I’m home!”
“Hey, we’re in here,” Sadie called from the bedroom.
They’d consolidated into Sadie’s downstairs apartment since it was bigger, and Coco had officially become theirs after her first two months with Emma–there was no way they could part with her, and they had a special adoption party in Zora’s backyard. Since Sadie worked from home, there’d been no need to bring Coco to the bookstore everyday, but she was a frequent visitor, especially on performance nights.
Emma kicked off her shoes and locked the front door before making her way past colorful paintings she’d invested in prior to Joy releasing her Exuberance exhibition. Further down the hall were Emma’s first wall-worthy attempts at paintings containing technicolor depictions of nature. She followed the sound of explosions coming from the television mounted across from Sadie’s king-sized bed. “What are y’all in here watching?”
Coco stood to her feet and wagged away, her eyes brightening at the sight of Emma as her body swayed from left to right.
“Hi sweet girl,” Emma booped Coco’s nose before pulling off her work clothes to change into something more comfy. “How was your day, love?” She picked up her clothes from the floor and dropped them into the hamper.
Sadie laid against the pillows on her side, her head propped up in her hand. “Pretty chill. I talked to Joy a little earlier. She’s scheduling her next show at the gallery.”
Emma opened the closet door wearing her bright green lacy bra and thong set from Savage Fenty. “Well that’s exciting! I can’t wait to see it in all of its exuberant glory,” she grinned at Sadie before accessing a chest of drawers inside the large walk-in. “I don’t think I’ve ever inspired someone’s art before.”
“No?” Sadie watched Emma thoughtfully, her expression riveted at Emma’s movements.
Emma grabbed a super soft loungewear set in olive green and dropped it on the bed and paused at the eye contact. “Nope. Why, what are you thinking right now?”
Sadie picked up Coco and helped her to the floor. “Coco, go relax!” Coco picked up a braided chew toy from the floor and headed to her cozy bed in the living room. Sadie looked back to her partner. “I’m no artist, but I’m feeling inspired.” She sat on her knees at the edge of the bed, reaching for Emma, her hands wandering down Emma’s back.
“Is that so?” Emma murmured, her lips brushing against Sadie’s as flutters cascaded from her chest. “Tell me about your inspiration.”
“It involves you getting naked right now. You’re my muse.” Sadie pulled Emma closer, nibbling at her bottom lip. “Here, let me help you.” Her hands at Emma’s back, Sadie unclasped the lacy bra, relieving her breasts from their underwire cage. Emma sighed contentedly as she reached for Sadie’s t-shirt with the faded image of Whitney Houston on the front. “My turn,” she whispered.
Sadie’s hands roamed Emma’s body as her last article of clothing was removed, exposing her rich ebony skin. She tensed as Emma’s lips pressed against her throat and trailed their way to her collarbone. Goosebumps raised on the path that Emma’s tongue traced down her body, and Sadie shuddered as Emma nipped at her breasts.
Emma nudged Sadie onto her back with the pillows and headboard to one side of her body. Sadie scooted back to allow more space, and Emma dug quickly into their pleasure drawer, which had some new additions after Ms. Marion surprised them with a trip to an adult toy store. Zora was still scarred by the visit, having learned more than she bargained for about her grandmother, but Sadie and Emma had a ball.
Emma wrapped her fingers around a new wand massager and slid her hand up Sadie’s thigh, Sadie’s eyes falling shut as she sucked in a breath at the contact. As Emma’s tongue ran the same route, Sadie’s dark skin glistened in the warm light as her knees fell apart, a throaty moan escaped her lips. “Keep making that sound for me,” Emma kissed Sadie’s inner thighs, admiring the definition of her long legs, her toes curling with every light touch.
Emma hooked an arm under one of Sadie’s thighs and split her apart with her thumb and forefinger. Emma dipped her head to circle Sadie’s core, lapping at her, reveling in her sweetness. Sadie’s head rolled back as her mouth fell open, her gasps motivated Emma to delve her tongue deeper.
“Yes,” Sadie hissed, her back beginning to arch as she brought one of Emma’s hands to her chest.
Emma palmed her breast as she suckled her clit, humming as she worked. Sadie’s hips ground against Emma’s mouth as she cried out, her body convulsing as she rode out her orgasm. Emma kissed her sensitive peak, drawing one last spasm from Sadie’s body before straddling and kissing her love.
Sadie’s arms wrapped around Emma’s body as they savored each other. Emma lifted her upper half, arching her back as Sadie cupped her full breasts, rubbing her thumbs over the tightened buds. Emma moved one of her thighs between Sadie’s and grabbed for the wand she’d brought to the bed. As she turned it on, Sadie watched her with hooded eyes.
Emma dipped the wand between them, grazing its tip first against Sadie’s apex before doing the same to herself. She bit her lip as she angled one side of the wand’s tip at the seam of Sadie’s pretty pussy, dipping her hips to allow the other side to split her folds. As she held the toy in place, the two ground against each other, hips rolling in a unified tango with a vibrating center. Emma turned up the intensity and they both gasped. “Fuck,” she whined.
Sadie grasped Emma’s hips, dictating the pace, both of them nearing climax. Sadie moaned, her chin rising toward the ceiling as her back arched. “I’m?—”
Her body erupted, her release causing her hips to buck against Emma’s. The movement pressed the device further against her, Emma’s mouth falling open as her eyes rolled back. She came hard, catapulting into the atmosphere as wave after wave crashed between them. They chased the ebbs and flows until they were both too sensitive to take any more, the toy finally removed and set aside.
Emma collapsed onto the bed next to Sadie. “That was an excellent purchase.”
Sadie nodded.
After they caught their breath, Sadie peeled herself up from the bed. “Water?”
“Yes please,” Emma crawled toward the head of the bed, burying her face in a pillow.
Sadie padded toward the kitchen, calling out to Emma after she opened the fridge. “Hey, Em, did Zora give you the ring box with their wedding bands already?”
Emma opened one eye. “Yeah, why?”
“Is it black?”
“Yeah…” She sat up slowly. “What’s going on?”
Sadie appeared in the doorway holding an empty ring box. Coco trailed in behind her, her butt wagging enthusiastically. “Did you leave it on the table?”
Emma stared at the box. Did I? “Oh no… Do you think–” She pointed at Coco.
Sadie nodded grimly. “She may have.”
“Fuck. Call the vet!”
