Chapter 8
Hollis had taken off Kate's tank top without even realizing what she was doing, and now she couldn't take her eyes off Kate's gorgeous body. She let her fingers draw a line over the edge of Kate's bra, along the curve of her breast, her own lips parting as she struggled to keep her breathing even.
Every part of Hollis's body ached with desire, and it should have been overwhelming, but right now, Hollis could think of little else besides removing Kate's bra. Hollis held Kate's gaze as she reached both hands behind Kate's back and unhooked her bra with trembling fingers. Kate shifted her shoulders and gravity did most of the work, but Hollis eased the fabric away, throwing it in the direction of the couch, her hands moving of their own accord to cup Kate's breasts in her hands, her thumbs bringing Kate's semi hard nipples to a taught peak with just one or two swipes.
The soft moan that left Kate's mouth awoke something within her. This entirely new feeling of wanting to pleasure someone more than she cared about her own release, although Hollis knew it wouldn't take much to send her spiraling into ecstasy.
How could that even be? After years of not caring the slightest about sex, not even enough to regularly take care of herself, now she was so on edge that Hollis couldn't be sure that Kate wouldn't make her come from just kissing her.
Hollis brought her head down to press a soft kiss against Kate's breast, moving around her nipple as Kate arched into her, until finally Hollis couldn't wait any longer, swirling her tongue around Kate's nipple before taking it fully into her mouth and darting her tongue over it, causing Kate to sway into her, a ragged breath escaping her lips, hot against Hollis's ear.
"Oh my god," Kate gasped, her hand on Hollis's shoulder, the other on her hip.
Hollis couldn't remember the last time she felt this confident, this sure of herself, especially considering that she had no right to be. She kissed her way over Kate's soft skin to tease her other nipple, her fingertips taking over for her tongue, teasing her other breast, rolling Kate's nipple between her thumb and index finger before pressing her palm against her full breast, massaging her while her tongue went to work on the other side.
Kate's grip on Hollis tightened. Then Kate's hand threaded through her hair, and the sensation of her nails scraping her scalp was dizzying.
Hollis trailed kisses along Kate's jaw and down her neck, while Kate's hand gripped her hair gently, urging her closer until their lips met again in a fiery kiss that left them both breathless.
Hollis lost herself in yet another heart-stopping kiss, and she had no idea how she would survive when they got into bed together. Right now, she could safely say that she'd never been this turned on, and she just couldn't imagine what would happen to her when Kate's legs were tangled with hers, when Kate's hands started to explore her body. The thought alone had her body tingling with anticipation, knowing that she wouldn't have long to wait to find out.
Hollis's hands slid up Kate's side and around to her back as they kissed, and she couldn't resist letting them drop further, groping Kate's ass through her shorts, and that had Kate breaking their kiss, a ragged moan on her lips.
"I can't stay standing," Kate said with a sigh. "You're driving me crazy."
Hollis met Kate's eyes, and for the first time she understood what it meant for the air to crackle with electricity. The intensity of this moment was palpable. "Maybe we should move into the bedroom," Hollis said, her voice a little rough, but she swallowed down her nerves, knowing she wanted this.
"Are you sure?" Kate whispered, her hand tenderly brushing a strand of hair away from Hollis's face. "I don't want you to rush into this if you're not ready. We still have the rest of the weekend."
Hollis felt a smile tugging at her lips. Judging by Kate's moans and the fact that she was half naked, she must be more than ready to find a bed, but she was willing to call it off if Hollis wasn't sure. "I've never been more sure of anything. But thank you. For checking in with me." Hollis leaned into Kate's touch, her hand still on her cheek, and kissed her again, softer this time, with more tenderness.
"Come on," Hollis whispered as she pulled away, letting her hand slide down Kate's shoulder, interlacing their fingers as she led them to the king-sized bed in the other room.
With each step, Hollis could feel her heart beating faster, but it was the best kind of nervousness, and she was still in awe of how this evening had unfolded. She couldn't deny the uncontrollable pull she felt towards Kate. Everything about this was exhilarating, and Hollis had no idea what to expect once they fell into bed together, but if the way she was feeling right now was any indication, this night was going to be nothing short of explosive.
