“We should talk,” Enid said.

“My mouth is a little busy,” Caroline replied before she licked Enid’s nipple.

“Babe,” Enid said with a little laugh.

Caroline stopped and sat up, straddling Enid’s hips.

“You really want to talk instead of letting me go down on you?”

“On this bed? Are you crazy? You’ll end up falling onto your desk.” Enid laughed.

“Good point,” Caroline replied. “We can take a shower together.” She wiggled her eyebrows.

“So that you can go down on mein there? No way. My knees hurt just from kneeling on the floor in here.”

“Then, you’ll just have to be pressed against the dressers, Enid, because Iamgoing down on you tonight,” Caroline said as she ran her index finger through Enid’s wetness.

“Can we take a break?” Enid asked, rubbing her hands up and down Caroline’s sides.

“Why? Viv is gone for the night. We should take advantage of that while we can.”

“I don’t want to have sex with you just because Viv isn’t here.”

“I know you don’t think that that’s the only reason why I want to have sex with you,” she replied. “I think you’ve felt how turned on I get just because you’re in the same room with me.”

Enid wiggled her eyebrows then and said, “Can you lie down with me?” She held out her hands for Caroline.

Caroline lowered herself until her head was back on Enid’s chest, and this felt like the right place to be. She had been with other women, and the sex had been fine most of the time, but it was after the sex that she usually felt strange. With Jodie, it had been somewhat better because they were friends, but the night they’d slept together, Caroline remembered not being sure how they were supposed to lie next to each other after they’d just done what they’d done without thinking of the consequences. She’d rolled over away from Jodie and stared at the wall.

With Brooke, they’d never cuddled or snuggled in any way. They’d had sex, and usually, Caroline had taken a shower right after. She hadn’t felt dirty for what they’d done; she’d just wanted to be clean. Brooke would already be asleep by the time she finished, and Caroline would roll away from her to get some sleep herself.

There hadn’t been many others, but the result was the same, so Caroline had always assumed that she just might not be the kind of person who wanted to cuddle after sex. It felt okay, but cuddling, holding someone, or being held by them wasn’t a big deal to her after she’d just shared the most intimate thing she could with a person. As she lay there, being held by Enid, though, she knew she’d been wrong about it all along.

“I like this,” she shared as she ran her fingertips across Enid’s skin.

“Which part?” Enid asked and kissed her forehead.

“All of it, but I was talking about this moment specifically. I like you holding me like this,” she admitted. “I’ve never really had this.”

“What? Someone holding you?”

Caroline nodded against Enid’s breast, and she gave the nipple a special kiss.

“No one has held you like this?”

“It’s not that they didn’t want to. I just wasn’t into it.”

“But you like it whenIdo it?” Enid asked.

“Yes,” she replied with a smile.

“I like it, too,” Enid said.

“You wanted to talk,” Caroline reminded her then.

“I wasn’t planning on coming here so that this would happen.”

“I know that.”
