“Yes,” Enid whispered.
Caroline kissed her and began stroking. Enid kissed her back as Caroline shifted on top of her, and Enid’s hands went to Caroline’s back just as she slipped inside her. Enid certainly didn’t mind, but she hadn’t expected Caroline to do that. She figured they would just have a quickie before she had to go, but Caroline was now moving inside and against her while her center rubbed against Enid’s thigh.
“Can you come like that?” Enid asked her.
“Yes. Want me to?”
Enid nodded and lifted her thigh to give Caroline more pressure. Caroline moaned into her mouth, and Enid focused on how good it felt to be touched by her. She’d always liked sex enough, but she’d never particularly loved it with anyone. Orgasms were nice, and she’d had plenty of those, but even with girlfriends, she had felt like something was missing. It made no sense because Caroline wasn’t doing anything differently than any of her other lovers, but itdidfeel different. The orgasms were stronger. The after-sex glow was brighter. The cuddling was better. Everything about this was right to Enid, and it was scary and new.
“Babe?”
Enid met Caroline’s eyes and said, “Yeah?”
Caroline halted her movements, looking concerned, and asked, “Are you okay?”
“What? Yes, of course. Why?”
“You weren’t looking at me,” Caroline replied, pressing her forehead to Enid’s. “You looked away. I–”
Enid cupped Caroline’s cheek and said, “I was thinking about how good this is.”
Caroline smiled and asked, “So, I shouldn’t stop?”
Enid shook her head before she kissed her, and Caroline’s fingers were on the move again. Just as Enid was about to come, though, there was a key in the door.
“Shit,” Caroline whispered and quickly pulled out her fingers before she moved off Enid and to her side, making Enid grunt in frustration.
Enid managed to wrap her brain around what was happening in time to pull the blanket up over both of them. The door opened right after that, and there stood Viv with her bag and a look of disbelief on her face when she took them in because Enid and Caroline looked exactly like they’d been doing what they’d just been doing.
“Oh,” she said and dropped the bag to the floor.
“Hey, Viv,” Caroline spoke, clearly trying to catch her breath still. “You remember Enid.”
Enid wanted to laugh at that, but Viv’s face was telling her that laughing might not be the best option. Was that hurt on her face? Had Enid been right that Viv wasn’t over Caroline, after all, so they’d just caused her a lot of pain by doing this in their shared room? Why hadn’t she asked Caroline to verify that Viv wouldn’t be back until Enid was gone?
“Yeah, hi,” Viv said finally and looked away from them even though they were both covered up by the blanket.
“Uh… Hi,” Enid added as she looked around for her clothes.
She then squished her eyes together when she realized that they were on the floor, along with Caroline’s. And not just on the floor, either. Their clothes wereall overthe tiny room. Enid’s bra was currently hanging over Viv’s desk chair. Her underwear was on the floor in front of the dressers. Her jeans ended up by the closet with one of her socks, but she wasn’t sure where the other one was. Her shirt was on top of the TV, and her shoes were behind the now-open door. Caroline’s clothing was equally dispersed. Enid should have suggested they not sleep naked. It would’ve been the smart thing to do. But her brain hadn’t been operating fully after Caroline had gone down on her and made her come twice before they had gotten into bed again.
“Um,” Viv said, walking toward the bed. “I think your shirt is on my pillow.”
She then lifted Caroline’s shirt without looking.
“Thanks,” Caroline replied as she grabbed it from her, and when she put it on so that she was covered enough to sit up, she added, “Sorry. I didn’t think you’d be back so soon.”
“I texted you late last night, but now I know why you didn’t get it.”
“Yeah, sorry. Enid came over to talk.”
“Talk?” Viv asked. “That’show you two talk?”
“Hey, Viv?” Enid spoke.
“Yeah?”
“You left the door open. Would you mind closing it?” she asked.
