“I can’t do this,” Maggie said. “I need to touch you.”
Ellie licked her lips as she moved. “Not yet, love. Not yet.” She leaned in and kissed her neck, her jaw, and then her mouth, plunging her tongue in and taking control.
Maggie was helpless beneath her, body alive and humming, yet somehow melting into the couch. “Ellie,” she breathed.
“You taste so good,” Ellie said. She ran her hands down her chest to her full breasts where she teased the nipples, making them rock hard.
Maggie arched into her and cried out, the sensation bolting through her, curling her toes.
Ellie followed by lowering herself to take a nipple into her mouth. She sucked hard, and it took everything Maggie had not to toss her onto the couch and devour her.
“Ellie, fuck.”
“That’s it, Maggie. Feel.” She pulled back, rocked harder against her leg, and held Maggie’s nipples gently between her fingers.
“Now, watch me come,” she said. She moved quicker, sliding along her skin, holding Maggie captive in more ways than one. And then all at once, she jolted, pinched Maggie’s nipples, threw her head back, and came.
Maggie clenched her hands so hard they hurt. She watched her beautiful body writhe in ecstasy, watched her delicate neck strain, her pulse race, her face flush. When her cries grew hoarse, and her body stilled, she tucked errant strands of hair behind her ears and looked at Maggie with hungry eyes.
She was a wild creature, the kind you couldn’t tame. The kind you had to give freedom and independence, offering it all the love you could. If it stayed, it would be because it felt safe and loved. Maggie wanted her to feel those things.
“I love you,” Maggie finally said.
Ellie bit her full lower lip and reached down to take her hand. She placed Maggie’s palm on her heart. “Feel that?” she asked.
“Yes.”
“That’s because of you. That’s what I wanted you to feel. You have my heart, Maggie Douglas.”
She leaned in and kissed her. So warm, so soft, Maggie could feel their cells melding together into one. Maggie hugged her, holding her gently, running her fingers along her smooth back.
“I love you,” Ellie said. “I want to always be right here, in your arms.”
Maggie brushed back her hair, thumbed her jaw. “I’m always going to be right here. Right next to you.”
Ellie smiled and then her look grew serious.
“What is it?” Maggie asked.
Ellie tilted her head. “I’m just wondering who’s gonna win in the race to the bedroom.”
Maggie drew her closer, flipped her so she was on her back, and laughed. “There will be no winner,” she said. “Because I can’t wait another second.” They kissed long and deep, and as their fingers found one another wet and seeking, Maggie knew she’d found heaven.
Ellie tore her mouth away and sighed as she entered Maggie and Maggie entered her. They moved against one another, both of them moaning with pleasure. Maggie kissed her deeply, never wanting to be anywhere else.
“Ellie, I love you,” she said as she neared climax.
Ellie cried out and stared into her eyes.
Maggie had never seen anything more beautiful. Nothing in the world was more beautiful than her snow angel. Nothing.
