“What?”
“Give commands like that, be so specific.”
“Then you’d better do as you’re told. Now,” she added in a warning tone when Sylvie didn’t move.
She followed Bennett’s command, cradling her clit against her lips and swirling her tongue around it. Bennett moaned. Her control finally snapped, and she pushed into Sylvie’s mouth, threaded her fingers in Sylvie’s hair, and pressed her deeper.
“Yes. That’s it,” she said.
Sylvie was in heaven. How had she lived for twenty-two years and never known the exquisite feel of a woman on her tongue? She slid her hands under Bennett’s thighs and cupped her ass.
Bennett groaned. “Don’t stop.”
Sylvie didn’t reply, unwilling to leave her pussy even for a second. She swirled her tongue around and around Bennett’s clit and felt her get harder. She squeezed Bennett’s ass and she jerked in response, her whole body stiffening.
“Sylvie baby, please.”
Her name on Bennett’s lips, the plea and the pleasure of it, was wonderful and giddy-making.
“Come with me.” Bennett’s voice was strangled, barely comprehensible. “I want to watch you come.”
She whimpered, sending sweet vibrations up Bennett’s clit, and slid her hand away to play with herself. She had never been so turned on making someone come before. It wouldn’t take much to send her over the edge again, especially with Bennett thrusting into her mouth like that. God, that was sexy. She was so wet, her fingers slipping inside her pussy, thrusting in time to the pull of Bennett’s hips. Palm bumping wildly against her clit, she rode endless waves of sensation. Her vision started to blur as the need to come overwhelmed her.
“Yes,” Bennett said, her body taut, almost vibrating, waiting on the precipice. Waiting just for her. “That’s it. Touch yourself. Come for me.”
“I’m going to.”
Bennett shattered, throwing her head back as she surrendered. She was so beautiful. Sylvie felt her clit pulse in her mouth and it was so fucking sexy she exploded too. Strong hands in her hair steadied her as she rocked against her fingers, whimpering.
Sylvie rested her cheek against Bennett’s thigh and caught her breath. Waited for her heart to stop pounding and wondered why the hell it took them so long to admit they wanted each other.
“Best class ever.” Sylvie crawled back up and into waiting arms. “I want to major in this. Finals would be a breeze.”
“Consider yourself enrolled,” Bennett said, and kissed her again.
