Chapter 10

A udrey stood frozen, her heart pounding in her chest as Piper's fingers grazed her skin. The air around them crackled with an electric energy that was both exhilarating and terrifying. She could feel the heat emanating from Piper's body, and it was all she could do not to lean into it.

"Audrey," Piper whispered, her voice hoarse with desire.

Audrey's breath hitched in her throat as she looked into Piper's eyes. She saw the same vulnerability and longing that she felt mirrored back at her. For a moment, she thought about the consequences of giving in to this attraction, of all the ways it could go wrong. But then she remembered the feeling of Piper's fingers on her skin, the way her heart raced when they were together.

Slowly, she reached up and cupped Piper's face, feeling the softness of her skin beneath her fingers. As their eyes locked, Audrey leaned forward, her lips brushing against Piper's in a gentle, tentative kiss.

Audrey closed her eyes and let herself get lost in the kiss. The urge to deepen the kiss pulsed through Audrey's body, a throb of want that made her ache in places she almost forgot could ache like that. Audrey's heart thumped in her chest as she brushed her lips over Piper's, almost forgetting what this felt like.

The kiss had started out slow, but quickly deepened as Piper responded eagerly, parting her lips to allow Audrey to explore her mouth.

Their breathing became heavier, and Audrey arched her back, pressing her body flush against Piper's as desire coiled hot and tight in her belly. She slid her hands under Piper's shirt, brushing over the smooth expanse of her back, feeling the ridges of her spine. Piper made a low sound deep in her throat, her own hands roaming up Audrey's thighs until they reached her white shorts and the curve of her ass.

Without breaking the kiss, Piper backed Audrey up against the door, pinning her there with the weight of her body. Audrey gasped as Piper slid a thigh between her legs, rubbing against the heat gathering at the apex of Audrey's thighs. Audrey ground down against her, chasing friction as need built to a fevered pitch. Piper made a sound deep in her throat and Audrey swallowed it greedily, letting her tongue delve deeper, stroking over Piper's own.

Consumed by lust, Audrey tore her mouth away to trail her lips down Piper's jaw and throat, nipping and sucking at the delicate skin. "Audrey," Piper moaned breathlessly, her hands roaming hungrily over Audrey's body. Audrey could barely respond, consumed by the heat of Piper's mouth crashing back against her lips.

As Piper's strong thigh pressed more insistently against Audrey's core, Audrey let out a choked gasp, breaking the kiss. She rocked her hips, chasing the delicious friction. Audrey's hands slid under Piper's shirt again, palms skimming over soft, warm skin.

"God," Audrey gasped out, as desperation and desire took over. Her hands roamed over Piper's side, up along her ribs, while Piper's thigh pressed relentlessly against Audrey's core. Audrey's head fell back against the door with a soft thud as a drawn out moan spilled from her lips. Piper's hands skated over Audrey's sides, gripping the hem of Audrey's shirt and tugging upward.

"Audrey," Piper breathed against Audrey's neck in between pressed open-mouthed kisses. "I want you."

Audrey panted, running her hands down Piper's back. Piper pulled back just enough to help Audrey take off her shirt, tossing it aside. Audrey's chest heaved as Piper's hands skimmed over her bare skin.

"You're beautiful," Piper said, her tone full of reverence as she took a step back, her eyes traveling over Audrey's body.

Audrey immediately missed the heat of Piper and the pressure of her thigh against her clit. She reached for Piper's shirt and tugged her back in for a hungry kiss, their mouths colliding with a desperate urgency. Audrey knew she was losing control, but she didn't care. The heat between them was unbearable, and their mouths met again, their lips parting and their tongues swirling in a dance of pure desire.

Piper broke the kiss, stepping back for a moment, but she reached for Audrey's hand and led her over to the couch. Audrey's heart pounded in her chest as she felt Piper's weight on her, the heat of her body pressing against her own. Piper climbed on top of her, lifting her own top over her head, and Audrey's hands slid over her skin, moving to Piper's back to unhook her bra, easing the straps down her shoulders.

As the fabric fell away, Audrey's eyes drank in the sight of Piper's bare breasts. Audrey reached up to trace the curve of her breast, her thumb brushing over the hardened peak, eliciting a low moan from Piper. As their lips met again, Audrey palmed her other breast, the kiss deepening, and Audrey slid her other hand down Piper's back until she was groping the swell of her ass through her jeans shorts.

Piper dipped her head as she moaned again, her hips rocking forward while her lips trailed a path from Audrey's jawline down to the hollow of her throat. Audrey's back arched off the couch, pressing herself more firmly into Piper's touch. The sensation of Piper's mouth on her skin was electric, and Audrey had no idea how desperate for Piper she'd actually been.

Audrey guided their lips back together, moaning into the kiss. Audrey let her other hand tangle in the silky strands of Piper's hair, pulling her closer, deeper. She could feel the urgency in Piper's kiss, the hunger that matched her own.

Eventually, Piper broke the kiss, and both of them breathing heavily. Piper's gaze lowered to her chest, and she seductively trailed her fingertip along the edge of Audrey's white bra. "I'd love to take this off," Piper said, her eyes lifting to meet Audrey's.

Audrey silently leaned forward to give Piper enough room to slip her hands behind Audrey's back and unhook her bra. The instant Piper's fingers brushed the back clasp, Audrey shuddered. She was hyper-aware of every touch, every breath, every shift of Piper's body against hers.

Piper's hands slid around to the front, taking the fabric with her, and then she was cupping Audrey's breasts. Audrey let out a shuddering moan as Piper's thumbs brushed over her nipples, teasing them to aching stiffness.

"Beautiful," Piper breathed, her voice full of desire as she gazed down at Audrey's bared breasts.

Unable to resist any longer, Audrey tugged Piper down for a searing kiss, her fingers tangling in Piper's silky hair. Piper kissed her back just as fiercely, her hips rocking against Audrey's and sending delicious shocks to Audrey's clit.

Audrey's hands slid down Piper's bare back to cup her ass, pulling her impossibly closer as a rattle of thunder cut through the splatters of rain hitting the windows and their breathy moans. A flash of lightning illuminated the room, but Audrey barely registered it, lost in the slide of Piper's skin against hers and the heat building between her thighs.

"This is crazy," Audrey gasped out, even as her hands slid down Piper's back to grip the swell of her ass, pulling their hips flush together.

Piper made a sound that was half moan, half laugh, burying her face against the crook of Audrey's neck. "In the best possible way," she agreed, her lips curving into a smile as she trailed kisses along Audrey's throat. "This is not at all how I thought I'd be spending my night."

Audrey shuddered, her head falling back against the cushions as Piper's tongue teased her pulse point. Desire, hot and urgent, coiled tight in her belly, winding tighter with each press of Piper's lips.

"Do you know how badly I want you right now?" Piper asked, her voice a low rasp against Audrey's skin.

"Yes," Audrey breathed, because she'd never wanted anyone as much as she wanted Piper in this moment.

Piper's hands slid up Audrey's sides, grazing the sides of her breasts before skimming lower to the waistband of her white shorts. She dipped her fingers just beneath the fabric.

Audrey sucked in a sharp breath, her hips canting up into Piper's touch. "Please," she begged.

"You have no idea what you do to me," Piper murmured, her fingers slipping lower still, brushing through the coarse hair. Piper circled Audrey's clit with a feather-light touch, sending sparks shooting through Audrey's body. "You're so wet." She rubbed her fingers along Audrey's slit, feeling the evidence of her arousal.

Audrey's hips bucked at the touch, a gasp escaping her lips. "Piper," she moaned, her hands clutching at Piper's shoulders, anchoring herself as waves of pleasure threatened to overwhelm her. Piper's fingers were gentle yet insistent, exploring Audrey's folds with a teasing touch that left her craving more.

Piper looked up at her, eyes dark with desire, lips swollen from their kisses. She leaned down to claim Audrey's lips in a deep, passionate kiss while her fingers slid lower, slowly pushing inside. Audrey gasped into the kiss, her body arching off the couch as Piper entered her with a long, smooth stroke.

Piper started to move her fingers, thrusting in and out in a rhythm that had Audrey seeing stars. Her thumb found Audrey's clit, circling it in time with her thrusts. Audrey's moans filled the room, her hips moving in sync with Piper's hand.

Piper trailed kisses down Audrey's neck, her free hand cupping Audrey's breast, teasing her nipple with skilled fingers. Audrey could feel the tension building inside her, the pressure of her impending orgasm coiling tighter and tighter.

"Piper," she gasped, her fingers digging into Piper's back. "I'm close."

Piper looked up at her, their eyes locking. She increased the pace of her thrusts, her thumb pressing harder against her clit. "Come for me, Audrey," Piper whispered, her voice laced with raw desire.

That was all it took.

Audrey's body convulsed, waves of pleasure crashing over her as she cried out Piper's name, riding out an orgasm that left her breathless and shaking.

Piper slowed her movements, gently bringing Audrey down from her high. She pressed soft kisses to Audrey's chest, working her way up Audrey's neck to her jaw.

Audrey reached up, tucking a strand of hair behind Piper's ear, her fingers lingering on her cheek. "That was incredible."

Audrey's voice was barely a whisper, still breathless from the intensity of her climax. She looked into Piper's eyes, seeing the desire still burning there, and felt her own need stirring again. She wanted to give Piper the same pleasure, to feel her body respond to her touch.

Sliding her hand down Piper's body, Audrey found the button of her shorts and flicked it open. Piper's breath hitched, and she stood up to allow Audrey to ease the fabric down her thighs, taking her underwear with her. Piper stepped out of them before climbing back onto Audrey's lap.

Audrey's hand trailed down Piper's back as she leaned in to find Piper's lips, kissing her hungrily while her hand moved down her side and over her stomach. Piper moaned into the kiss as Audrey continued to explore her body, her palm gliding along her thigh. Piper's hips gently rocked as Audrey took her time getting to the heat between Piper's legs. Audrey's fingers brushed lightly against Piper's folds, feeling the slick wetness there, causing both of them to moan.

Piper gasped, her hips rolling, pressing herself more firmly into Audrey's touch. "Please," she begged, her voice barely recognizable.

Audrey looked up, meeting Piper's gaze as she slowly slid her fingers inside. Piper's mouth opened in a silent cry, her eyes fluttering shut as Audrey slowly entered her, the heat and wetness almost overwhelming. She began to move her fingers, setting a slow but steady rhythm that had Piper's hips rocking in time with her thrusts. With her thumb, she found Piper's clit, circling it gently.

Piper's moans filled the room, her body writhing on top of Audrey as she chased her orgasm. Her hands gripped Audrey's shoulders, holding on tight.

"Don't stop," Piper panted, her voice ragged with desire. "Please, don't stop."

Audrey had no intention of stopping. She increased the pace of her thrusts, her thumb pressing harder against Piper's clit. She could feel her own arousal building again, the sight and sound of Piper's pleasure pushing her closer to the edge.

Piper's body started to shake, her moans growing louder and more insistent. Audrey could tell she was close, her body teetering on the brink of release. She leaned forward, capturing one of Piper's nipples in her mouth, sucking hard as she continued to thrust her fingers deep inside her.

And then Piper came undone, her body tensing as she clung to Audrey, holding on, her breath hot against Audrey's ear.

Audrey wrapped her arms around Piper, holding her close as she rode out the aftershocks of her orgasm. She could feel Piper's heart pounding in her chest, the rapid beat matching her own. They stayed like that for a while, the rain steadily hitting the window as they caught their breath.

Eventually, Piper lifted her head, looking down at Audrey with a soft smile. "That was..." she started, but Audrey silenced her with a gentle kiss.

"I know," Audrey whispered against her lips. "I know."

"I'm not sure that I can stand up just yet," Piper said with a hint of a smile, "But I'd love to take this upstairs." She lowered her head to kiss Audrey's shoulder, then her neck. "I can't believe you still have your shorts on," she murmured against Audrey's skin.

Audrey smiled as she leaned her head back against the cushions. "I can't either. And yes, as hot as that was, I'd love to continue this upstairs." She slid her hand into Piper's hair. "But I need a minute too." She tilted her head, pulling Piper down into a slow, seductive kiss.
