Chapter 13
Mel had never had a date end so abruptly before. She could still feel the lingering heat pressed between her thighs. Mel wanted to groan and cry at the same time. Willow’s mom had come in like a tornado and spun the night right out of her grasp. She should be wrapped up in Willow’s arms right now. They should be a tangle in the bedsheets. Instead she was at home with no Willow in sight. Mase offered her a friendly bark waiting on her to scratch his head before returning to his dog bed.
Mel stripped down as she walked down her hallway to the bedroom. Lying alone in bed felt like an insult to the night she and Willow had shared. Dinner had been perfect. The night had confirmed that their chemistry together wasn’t the result of a one time encounter.
Mel let her eyes slide to her bedside table. She opened the drawer and pulled out her vibrator. This may not have been how she wanted the night to end, but it was a good second choice. She turned it on and slid the device between her thighs. She allowed herself to gasp as she made contact with her core. Mel allowed herself to imagine what she wanted to be doing right now.
Her mind went to a place where she had Willow pinned underneath her body. Shock waves of pleasure rippled through her as she ground against her vibrator. When her orgasm came her body spasmed.
Mel lay staring at the ceiling. Her phone buzzed on the night stand and she reached for it. Willow’s name flashed on her screen. Mel was interested in knowing what had happened after she left. Mel hated texting, she found it so cumbersome. On a whim she hit the call button and waited to see if Willow would answer.
“Hi there,” Mel said, hoping to ease whatever awkward tension the phone call might have caused.
“Hello.” Willow’s voice sounded surprised.
“How did things go with your mom?” Mel asked. She listened as Willow gave a long sigh.
“That bad, huh?” Mel laughed.
“Worse. My Mom is going to be living with me for a while,” Willow whined. Mel made a mental note that if things took off between them, they would likely be spending their time at her place. Mel took a breath and decided to go with optimism.
“Your mom is lucky to have you. Not everyone would open their home up like that,” Mel smiled at the phone.
“I don’t know about that. I might as well say yes. It keeps my Mom from sneaking in through a window or something,” Willow said, her tone flat. Mel gave a chuckle.
“I’m sorry we didn’t get to finish our date,” Willow offered.
“I know. Me, too. I’ve been thinking about it since I got home,” Mel said.
“Me, too. I can’t believe the night ended so differently to how I imagined it,” Willow chuckled.
Mel’s mind flashed with an idea. She felt her lips curl into a smile.
“Oh yeah. How did you imagine it going?” Mel asked coyly.
“More in the direction of the bedroom. Less in the direction of my Mom.” Willow teased.
“Sure. What I mean is, if I were there right now, what would you want to be doing?” There was a pause as Willow took in Mel’s words. Mel wasn’t entirely sure she wasn’t overstepping.
“What do you want?” Mel pressed into the silence.
“I want you to be here right now, with your hands on my bare skin.” Willow answered softly.
“I would like that, too. I could let my hands slide down your back and grab your ass while you kiss me,” Mel suggested. She heard Willow’s breath quicken.
“I want more than that,” Willow suggested.
“What if I was on my knees|?” Mel purred. She heard Willow suck in a breath.
“Yes, I want you on your knees.” Willow said finally. Mel couldn’t help noticing the strained rasp that had come into Willow’s voice.
“Now I’m going to pull you closer until you can feel my breath.”
Willow made a tiny sound that was half sigh and half moan.
“My tongue is sliding against your clit as my fingers slip inside you.”
Willow made a strained noise and Mel realized that she had already come. Mel gave a little chuckle.
“That was easier than I expected,” Mel teased.
“To be fair I was still turned on from earlier. It wasn’t going to be hard to push me over the edge,” Willow laughed.
“Are you saying I shouldn’t be flattered?” Mel asked.
“Not at all. Please be flattered. You’re the first person I’ve ever done anything like that with before,” Willow said. Mel could imagine the blush spreading across Willow’s face.
“You mean phone sex?” Mel pushed.
“Yeah.” Willow’s voice was so soft Mel almost couldn’t hear her.
“I haven’t either,” Mel admitted.
“You know, I’m not really tired. If you think you’ll be up for a while you could come over here,” Mel suggested.
“You really want me to come over?” Willow asked.
“Of course. I wouldn’t invite you if I didn’t want you to come. We had a great night together. Besides, I live right down the road,” Mel suggested.
“Yeah. I think I will come over. Is it okay if I’m in my pajamas?”
“Wear whatever you like. I don’t think you’ll be in them long.”
“Okay, frisky,” Willow chuckled.
“Oh, you have no idea,” Mel laughed. There was a knock on her door. Mel’s lips curved up into a smile. She ran down her hallway to her door.
Willow stood on her doorstep wearing flannel pajama bottoms and a white spaghetti strap shirt.
“Are you going to let me in?” Willow asked, obviously self-conscious.
Mel reached out and grabbed Willow by the hand pulling her inside. Willow giggled but it was swallowed by Mel’s mouth crashing against hers. Willow’s lips were soft and welcoming, she parted her lips allowing Mel’s tongue to slip inside her mouth.
Willow moaned against Mel’s mouth, spurring her forward. Mel slid her hand inside Willow’s pajama pants. Willow wasn’t wearing any underwear and Mel took a moment to spare a smile.
“Someone came over here ready to go,” Mel teased.
“I always sleep commando,” Willow protested.
“That’s good to know,” Mel said. She pressed a kiss against Willow’s neck. Her fingers worked fast, finding Willow’s clit.
Willow slid her own hand inside Mel’s sleeping shorts. Mel leaned into the contact. She was hungry for Willow’s touch. As if able to sense Mel’s frustration, Willow slid two fingers inside Mel. Mel gasped as Willow pushed her against the wall. Mel kicked her door closed behind them. Willow’s fingers curled inside Mel as she thrust them in and out. Mel gave a loud sigh as her orgasm slammed against her. Mel sped her own efforts, her thumb brushing gently against Willow’s clit. Mel trapped Willow’s lower lip between her teeth and gave it a tiny bite. They each fed into one another, tongues fighting for ground. Willow’s fingers thrust harder inside of Mel. Mel could feel her walls closing around Willow’s fingers. Willow curved her fingers once more and Mel felt herself coming undone. Her body spasmed as her orgasm crushed her. Mel crumpled under the weight of her own pleasure. She smiled when Willow had to hold her upright.
Mel breathed deep for a moment before gathering herself. For the first time since Willow’s arrival Mase gave a tiny groan from his dog bed, a suggestion that they were inconveniencing him and his rest. Mel laughed and pulled Willow down the hallway towards her bedroom. Willow wrapped a hand around Mel’s waist and allowed herself to be pulled. Mel fell into her bed dragging Willow down with her.
“This night has been very unexpected,” Willow admitted.
Mel propped her head up on an elbow and flashed a smile. She reached out pushing a wayward strand of red hair from Willow’s face.
“For me too. In a million years I didn’t think I would connect this well with you,” Mel admitted.
“To be fair I put up a lot of walls when we met,” Willow said with a slight frown. Mel brushed a hand gently across Willow’s cheek.
“I’m glad I was able to change your mind,” Mel laughed.
“I’m glad you were willing to give me a chance,” Willow suggested.
“I’m glad you were willing to change your mind,” Mel said. Willow took Mel’s hand and pressed a kiss against it.
“How could I not? You’ve been so wonderful.” Willow wrapped an arm around Mel and slid closer to her. Mel allowed herself to snuggle closer to Willow. She took the moment in, trying her best to memorize the parts that made it special. The softness of Willow’s skin, the way her shampoo smelled.
There was a certain amount of comfort in having Willow laying beside her. It had been a long time since Mel had someone to share a bed with. She breathed in the comfort of the moment. She breathed in deeply and allowed her eyes to close. She felt Willow wrap her arms around her, pressing close. Mel let the moment settle around her like a warm blanket. She had questions about what this thing with Willow was turning into. But for right now Mel just wanted to enjoy the feeling of someone’s arms wrapped around her.
