“You’re beautiful. And you haven’t ruined anything.” The warmth in Piper’s eyes made Jo’s stomach muscles tense.

They stepped in together, closing the gap between them.

It wasn’t their first kiss, but it felt deeper than any they had shared before now.

“I like you, Piper,” Jo whispered, eyes closed as she rested her forehead against Piper’s and smiled as their noses brushed each other. “And I would really like to take you home tonight.”

Piper’s sharp inhalation made Jo’s smile stretch wider as she pressed her lips against Piper’s once more. The smooth softness of Piper’s lips opened at the smallest touch of Jo’s tongue.

A moan escaped Jo, and Piper laughed as she pulled back.

“I think we’d better get back to your place before Bunny kills me for being arrested for public nudity.”

Jo laughed and couldn’t believe how much her heart raced and her stomach fluttered with nerves and anticipation as she pulled Piper back to the restaurant. Piper had the valet retrieve her car as soon as they arrived.

The ride seemed to take twice as long as the drive to get to the restaurant. Though Piper’s hand on the inside of her knee tracing spirals on her pants might have had something to do with that. By the time Jo had managed to get the front door to her apartment open, their lips were on each other’s in a heated and inciting embrace. Piper was behind Jo in a second as she turned to lock the door behind them.

Jo gasped as Piper’s hands found her hips while her mouth found the soft skin where her neck met her shoulder. She whimpered and leaned her forehead against the now locked door.

“You’re so sexy,” Piper whispered in Jo’s ear before taking her lobe between her lips and gently sucking on it.

“Oh fuck.” Jo moaned as she pushed her ass hard against Piper’s crotch.

“Yes,” Piper whispered, her breath sending shivers down Jo’s body.

Piper untucked Jo’s shirt from her pants and slid her hands beneath the released fabric. Her fingers danced up Jo’s stomach, making Jo’s legs quiver a little. When she found Jo’s breasts, strong fingers pinched the already erect nipples that strained through her bra.

“Fuck.” Jo gasped between breaths. “Bedroom. Now.”

Piper laughed and spun Jo around so they faced each other. This time, the kiss wasn’t soft and sweet. It held the fire Jo had always held back. The fire other lovers had shied away from whenever she showed any kind of dominance. Apparentlybeing an overall happy and enthusiastic human being meant she couldn’t possibly be the instigator in the bedroom.

But Jo didn’t fear that reaction or assumption from Piper. She had no reason to think Piper would be different—except, of course, she had been almost the opposite in every other way to any other woman Jo had fallen for.

Fallen for?

No.

This was fun and freeing. This wasn’t the time to fall for anyone. Bea and Jo were just starting to make a name for themselves, and she couldn’t be distracted with emotions and the encompassing nature of falling.

Jo forced her thoughts back to the gorgeous woman in front of her who kissed her as though it was their last day on earth, and she wouldn’t waste a second doing anything else. Jo gently encouraged Piper to walk backward toward the bedroom. Her heart beat faster as Piper trusted her to take control, to lead her safely to the bedroom. By the time they had reached it, Jo’s entire body buzzed with the thrill of arousal and power.

“Take your clothes off,” Jo rasped out. Hoping she didn’t sound too bossy, or as nervous as she still felt beneath the thrill.

“Yes, ma’am.” Piper winked and slid the strap of her dress off one shoulder, revealing smooth skin beneath. How had she not realized Piper hadn’t been wearing a bra? She bit her lip, wetness soaking into her underwear. Watching Piper slowly undress herself would have made her body react, but having her do it without losing eye contact had Jo’s clit pulsing, and her breath close to gasping. She wouldn’t last long if her body didn’t calm down soon.

“Do I get the same show?” Piper asked as she stood naked in front of Jo.

Jo swallowed and hesitated.

“Hey.” Piper stepped forward, as though her own nakedness meant nothing, and cupped Jo’s cheek in her palm. “Are you nervous?”

“I’m always a little nervous.” Jo shrugged, the confidence she had found earlier seemingly disappeared in the light of her bedroom, staring at a masterpiece of the human body.

“We don’t have to.” Piper tilted her head until she met Jo’s eyes.

It had been all Jo needed for that energy and desire to come rushing back through her. Jo pushed forward, devouring Piper’s mouth with her own and dragging Piper onto the bed with her. Her hands roamed over Piper’s smooth skin, causing goosebumps to rise in her wake. Piper’s hands were on her again, hands beneath her shirt, dancing over her back, and in a moment, flicking the clip of her bra, releasing Jo’s breasts.

“I want to do this,” Jo muttered between kisses.
