Caroline licked her lips and said, “Enid, close the door.”

She thought she might have to say something else to convince her, but there was no need. Enid closed the door and locked it, all in one motion. In the next, she had Caroline pressed against the full-length mirror, and her lips were finally on Caroline’s. Caroline’s arms wrapped around Enid’s neck and kissed her back. She was pretty sure she moaned, but it could have been Enid.

“Viv?” Enid checked before she reconnected their lips, and the kiss grew faster.

“Gone for–” Caroline started but stopped when Enid’s lips moved to her neck. “God.”

“Are we really okay?” Enid asked.

“Yes.”

Enid’s lips then moved from Caroline’s neck back to her lips, and the kiss had gotten even faster somehow. Caroline realized that Enid’s hands weren’t on her body, though. They were pressed to the closet door behind her, and Enid also wasn’t pressing her own body against Caroline’s, likely because Caroline was only wearing a thin towel.

“How much time do we have?” Enid asked, slowing down the kiss.

“Huh? What?” Caroline asked, a little dazed.

“Viv? You said she was gone, but when–”

“She’s gone for the night,” Caroline said and swallowed, staring into Enid’s hazel eyes. “Maybe longer.” She ran a hand over Enid’s cheek and down her neck until she stopped just above Enid’s breast.

“She’s gone? Like, she’s not just going to walk in any minute and catch us making out?”

Caroline shook her head and lowered her hand until she was cupping Enid’s breast over her shirt.

“She’s gone.” When Enid’s head turned, Caroline knew what she was looking at, so she added, “It’s a twin and a bunk bed. Not exactly sexy, I know.”

Enid turned back to her and said, “You’re so…” She looked down at the towel still covering Caroline. “Do you want to wait? I don’t want us to–”

“Just because my roommate is out of town?” Caroline guessed.

Her hand was still cupping Enid’s breast, so she moved her other one under Enid’s shirt and cupped the other breast over her bra. Enid looked down and looked back up with a smirk on her face. Caroline ran her thumb over Enid’s nipple through the fabric and watched Enid’s eyes close.

“We can just lie down and… talk,” Caroline offered while her other hand was on the move, sliding under Enid’s shirt and copying her movements on the other nipple. “I’d love to just fall asleep next to you.”

“Well, if that’s what you want, you need to stop doing that,” Enid replied.

“Problem?” Caroline asked, running her fingers around Enid’s nipples, feeling them harden.

“Yes,” Enid said and closed her eyes again. “Are you sure?”

“I’m sure.” She removed her hands from under Enid’s shirt and pushed her back a little. “Strip.”

“What?” Enid asked, opening her eyes in surprise.

“Take off your clothes. I’m going to draw you.”

“Sorry, what?” Enid looked confused. “Did you thinkthat’swhat I meant?”

“No,” Caroline replied. “But you’ve been giving me a hard time about having naked drawings in my sketchbook, so I’m going to drawyou, and I want you to be naked when I do.”

“I don’t–”

“Babe,” Caroline said softly as she held on to the hem of Enid’s shirt. “Come on.” She lifted at the fabric, and Enid’s arms went up, allowing her to take it off. “Do you trust me?”

When Enid nodded, Caroline reached for the front of her towel and let it fall to the floor. Enid’s eyes followed it down as if she hadn’t been expecting that. Then, she looked back up slowly, eyes taking in Caroline’s naked body before she met Caroline’s eyes with her own.

“You’re perfect,” Enid let out in a whisper, her hands moving to Caroline’s hips. “Fuck, Care,” she added.
