Riley put down her paperwork when she heard a soft knock on her front door. Glancing at the clock on the wall, she noted it was nearing nine at night. She got up and went to find out who was knocking this late at night, and without calling first.
“Jenny? What are you doing here? Not that I mind,” she said after she opened the door. She watched in fascination as Jennifer’s gaze travelled the length of her body. Riley had on short shorts and a vest top, not leaving much to the imagination. She enjoyed watching the flicker of appreciation in Jennifer’s eyes. Riley hadn’t seen her for a few days, and realised now how much she had missed her. Talking on the phone wasn’t enough, but she had been too busy packing up her father’s house and trying to catch up at work to visit her or Kelsey since the day they found out about who’d fathered Kelsey’s baby. The flash of arousal in Jennifer’s eyes disappeared as she turned serious.
“I hope I’m not interrupting anything, but I needed to talk to you.”
Riley took her hand and led her into the lounge, where she settled next to Jennifer on the sofa. “Is everything okay? Kelsey?”
“She’s fine—well, she looks exhausted, but I think she’ll be okay. I left her chatting with a friend from her work.”
“Do you want a drink?”
“I’d love a beer if you have one.”
Riley stood and went to do her bidding, coming back a moment later with two cold bottles.
“Thank you,” Jennifer said as she took one.
“So, what’s up?” Riley asked cautiously. She didn’t like the worry etched on Jennifer’s face.
“Ever since that little scene in the kitchen with Mike, Kelsey has been distant.”
“Yeah, I noticed that when I called her last night after work. I mean, we talked like we normally do, but it was like she wasn’t really present.”
“I don’t know what to do,” Jennifer said, then took a sip of her beer. “I know I was upset when I found out Mike was the father, but I realise now that she really did like him.”
“Has she tried calling him?”
“Yeah, but he won’t take her calls.”
“Do you think you could go talk to him? You were close once; he might listen to you.” She didn’t relish the thought of Jennifer meeting up with her ex, but if it could help him realise what a mess Kelsey was in, and what he would be missing out on, she would put up with it.
“I was thinking the same thing. Do you think that would be a good idea? I don’t want Kelsey thinking I went behind her back.”
“She won’t think that. And if you can knock some sense into him, all the better.”
“Will you go with me?”
She shook her head vehemently. “Oh, I don’t know if I’d be any help.” It would be bad enough that Jennifer was seeing him. She didn’t want to be there too, knowing they were once close. Just the thought of him touching Jennifer made Riley’s skin crawl.
“Is it because he’s my ex? You have nothing to worry about. We broke up seven years ago, and although we got on fine, he didn’t really do anything for me.”
“I don’t really want to think about you with other people.” She realised too late that her words came out on a growl. And it certainly didn’t help matters when Jennifer laughed.
“You’re jealous, aren’t you?”
She wanted to deny it, but Jennifer would see through the lie. She decided to be honest. “I’ve always been jealous of all the guys you went out with.” She grinned. “I don’t know if you noticed, but I always tried my best to ruin your dates if I could.”
“Oh my God.” Jennifer’s eyes went wide. “You tipped your wine on me on purpose, didn’t you?”
Riley thought back to the incident. Three years ago she was at Kelsey’s house as she normally was on an evening. Jennifer had come down the stairs wearing a very sexy little black dress. Just the memory of it made Riley’s mouth water. “I couldn’t help it. You looked so amazing, and when that guy came to pick you up, I just snapped. I didn’t want him to see you looking so beautiful, didn’t want him touching you.”
“So, you ‘tripped’ and spilled wine all over my dress so I would have to change?”
“I’d say I’m sorry, but that would be a lie.” Jennifer had gotten so angry when the full glass of wine spilled over her, but Riley had had to do something. There was no way she was going to let Jennifer go out looking like that and having some guy fawn all over her.
“It was no picnic for me either, listening to you talk about the women you’d slept with. I thought I was bothered because it made you sound superficial. How naive I was.”
“Well you have no need to worry.” Riley leaned in closer, capturing Jennifer’s gaze. “There’s only you.”
Jennifer’s tongue peeked out, moistening her lips. “When you say it like that, I almost believe you.”
“What can I do to convince you it’s true?”
“Kiss me,” she whispered breathlessly.
“Now that, I can do.” Riley lowered her head to capture Jennifer’s beckoning mouth. The first touch of Jennifer’s tongue was her undoing. She didn’t think she would be able to control herself. If she didn’t put the brakes on, and soon, she would be in danger of combusting. Jennifer didn’t seem to be concerned with that, though, as she lay back on the sofa, taking Riley with her. Riley settled between her thighs, groaning when Jennifer clamped her legs around the backs of her calves.
The kiss grew more intense and Riley tried to slow it down. “You taste so good,” she murmured as she nipped at Jennifer’s lips, holding back a curse when Jennifer began grinding against her.
“Hmm, you do too. I had no idea I could feel this much, for you no less.”
“I want to make love to you,” she confessed, thrilled when her words sent a shiver through Jennifer’s body. “You’re trembling.”
“I don’t think I can wait any longer,” Jennifer confessed.
“When do you need to be home?”
“I’m sure Kelsey will be fine. She’ll call if she needs anything. Take me to bed.”
Riley captured her gaze, wanting to see her eyes. “You sure?”
“I’ve waited a long time for this. Yes, I’m sure.”
Riley couldn’t figure out how they got to the bedroom so quickly, but here she was, slowly undressing Jennifer. She pulled off her T-shirt, her gaze dropping to her lace bra. Jennifer was gorgeous, all smooth pale skin just begging to be touched. Riley obliged by running her fingertips up her stomach and around her back to unhook her bra. It fell to the floor and she resisted the urge to feast. A slight flush covered Jennifer’s chest and Riley blew on it, grinning when Jennifer’s nipples hardened.
“Why are you still dressed?” Jennifer breathed.
Riley made quick work of her own clothes and kicked the pile behind her, watching Jennifer as Jennifer watched her. She returned to Jennifer’s jeans, slowly lowering the zipper. Jennifer’s breathing came in gasps and Riley knew Jennifer wouldn’t hold out for long. Riley would have to make the first time quick, knowing there was plenty of time to take it slow later.
Riley pulled the jeans off Jennifer’s lithe legs and threw them onto the rapidly growing pile of clothes. She laid Jennifer’s hands on her breasts. “Touch me.” This was Jennifer’s first time with a woman, and Riley wanted to give her time to adjust to the new sensations.
Apparently, Jennifer didn’t need time, because as soon as her hands touched Riley’s skin, she let out a moan, then lowered her head and took one of Riley’s nipples in her mouth.
Never mind Jennifer not lasting long. Riley herself was in trouble of coming any second. She threaded her hands through Jennifer’s hair, guiding her head up. She kissed Jennifer hard as she moved her down onto the bed.
“I need to be in you, now.” Riley whispered fiercely.
Jennifer nodded, and that was all Riley needed. She none too gently pushed two of her fingers into the waiting heat, thrilling at the look of pure lust on Jennifer’s face.
They settled into a rhythm and Jennifer’s walls soon clamped down on her fingers. Jennifer threw her head back into the pillow, letting out a guttural cry as her climax gripped her. It was the most beautiful thing Riley had ever seen.
Slowly Jennifer opened her eyes, sweat beading on her forehead. She raised up onto one elbow, her other hand ghosting over Riley’s face.
“That was….”
“Incredible. You’re beautiful, Jenny.”
“I don’t ever want to move again.”
Riley collapsed on top of her and Jennifer’s arms came around her. Her hands roamed over Riley’s clammy back as Riley ground against her. This was going to be the start of the best sex she had ever had, and it was all because of Jennifer. Jennifer was in her bed, driving her crazy. She’d been just about to kiss her when a phone rang.
“That’s my phone,” Jennifer said. “I have to answer it.”
Riley groaned, frustrated, as Jennifer moved out from under her. She was on the way to having the most incredible orgasm. She had to make do with watching Jennifer’s ass as it swayed side to side on her way to get her phone from her jeans.
“It’s Kelsey,” she said as she swiped the screen. “Perfect timing, sis.”
The colour drained from Jennifer’s face. Riley got off the bed and quickly dressed, watching Jennifer from the corner of her eye. She was shaking in fear.
“Um, okay. I’m leaving now.”
Riley was instantly at her side. “What’s happened?”
“That was Kelsey’s friend using her phone. Kelsey has collapsed. She’s on her way to the hospital.”
“Fuck. Come on, get dressed and I’ll get us there.”
