nudged down between my legs as she pressed up against me. One hand snaked under my back to wrap around my waist while the other began to roam all over, touching every part of me. I’d never in my life been made to feel so much at once. When I experienced the wet suctioning mouth on my nipple, my breathing became erratic. Slowly that mouth moved down to my very being. Quinn’s tongue found me fi rst. Then her lips joined in. I cried out from the sheer pleasure and looked down to fi nd blue eyes watching me.
“Please, Quinnie,” I breathed out, using my hands to hook under her shoulders and pull her up for a kiss. I had to have more of her. All of her. I rolled her over. “I’ve waited for this my whole life.”
My mouth dipped to meet the sweet wetness that had been so inviting for my fi ngers before. Hips bucked in response, obviously not expecting me to fi nd my target so quickly. I tasted my lover, felt her softest, satiny skin, making her pant with ecstasy. When it was clear that she was very close, I rose up to lie on top of her.
My fi ngers got back to work moments before hers reached for me again. The heat built rapidly between us, our bodies sliding against each other, fi ngers working frantically.

Finally
Quinn’s excited shout was met by my climactic moan. We prolonged the pulsations, lingering in the rhythmic convulsions.
My jerking head crashed down onto a shoulder, nipping the muscle there. Her fi ngers fi nally gave up, allowing me to descend from my peak. My own hand rested against her, the throbbing still evident against my fi ngers.
Strong arms moved up to clutch at me. Minutes passed before I realized the thumping against my chest was her heartbeat. My own matched the pace beat for beat, threatening to make me pass out from the years of under use. My lips traced up to her mouth where I was rewarded with another breathtaking kiss.
I smiled and surveyed those stunning eyes as the kiss broke.
“I could stay like this forever,” I admitted before I had time to edit my thoughts. For the fi rst time, I didn’t want to. Speaking a profound truth like this felt so right after what we’d just shared.
Those eyes showed equal parts pleasure and amazement. Soft lips found mine again. “I hope you mean that, Willa, because I feel like this is it for me.”
“Oh, Quinnie,” I whispered, my heart starting to rev back up to an excited state. “I’ve been slowly dying for years. I didn’t know it, but I would go months without feeling anything at all, much less affection. Then I met you, and you brought back my heartbeat.”
I wasn’t sure what the future would hold for us, but I did know that I didn’t ever want to feel empty inside again. Somehow I knew that Quinn would be integral to keeping that emptiness at bay, and I’d do everything I could to make sure that she remained in my life.

“You are the angriest person I’ve ever met. Seriously!”
I calmly fl icked my eyes in the direction of my passenger as I steered the car into a visitor space at her condo complex. “Wasn’t it me who just bailed your ass out of jail?”
“You don’t have to be such a sourpuss about it. I mean, seriously.”
Because being woken up at 6:00 a.m. on a Saturday and ordered to the courthouse to pay $5,000 bail for an idiot friend who can’t hold her liquor is something to be cheery about?
“Well?” Valerie’s eyes widened in persistence from behind her bouncy bangs. Impossibly bouncy bangs. I admit, I have bangs envy. Mine have a cowlick that force me to brush them back off my forehead. I would never achieve the trendy hair-in-the-eyes look that Val and her friends had. A toss of the head for me did absolutely nothing to change my moussed, collar length crop. Val and her friends spent their entire freshman year practicing the coquettish mane toss, and they used it to their advantage every chance they got. That was about the time I started hating them.
Of course, that
