Page 20 of Throw Away the Key
The tea kettle began to shriek, and they both froze before realizing where the sound was coming from. Sadie jumped up to turn off the stove, setting the kettle aside as she turned back to the living room empty-handed. “Are you still thirsty?” She sat facing Emma, her dark eyes hooded as she flexed her jaw.
“Not for tea,” Emma murmured, staring at Sadie’s lips. Now devoid of gloss, her full lips let Emma’s intrusive thoughts win as an image of her nibbling and savoring Sadie’s mouth flashed in her mind.Damn, she’s so beautiful.
Sadie sat perfectly still, the rise and fall of her chest drawing Emma’s vision downward as she drank in the tattooed arm attached to a hand only inches from her thigh. Emma lifted her gaze to find Sadie studying her face, her curling lashes perfectly framing those dark orbs that Emma could lose herself in if she wasn’t careful.Should I?Emma tugged her bottom lip between her teeth, unsure what reaction would come, but she was more afraid of not trying. She ran her fingertips over the back of Sadie’s hand, tracing the petals of flowers within her tattoo sleeve.
Sadie hummed gently and leaned closer, Emma moving forward as if magnets drew them together. Emma's hand traveled upward and cupped Sadie's cheek as she kissed her, her lips soft and supple.
“Just one last bit,” Emma whispered, running her tongue over Sadie's lips, taking away the last bit of jelly.
Sadie kissed her back, softly, the intensity growing as their kiss deepened.
She leaned forward to deposit the rest of her tart on the coffee table before turning to face Emma, her hands running over Emma's braids before settling on her shoulder, her thumbs caressing Emma’s collarbone. Emma moaned against Sadie’s mouth as she trailed her lips down the side of Sadie's face, her throat.
“You smell amazing,” Emma whispered against Sadie’s skin.
Sadie shivered at her touch–Emma's fingers looping under Sadie's t-shirt as she tugged it upward, pulling it up over her head, revealing a black bralette with a deep V.
Her nipples puckered through the fabric, a small tattoo in the space between her breasts. Sadie stopped Emma from reaching for her. “Wait.”
Emma’s mouth moved to speak, confusion in her eyes, but Sadie stood silently. She grabbed Emma by the hand andtugged her up, leading her back to the bedroom.Oh.They were greeted by a king-sized low-profile bed with an intricate wooden headboard and stark white bedding. Sadie turned back as they reached the side of the bed, Emma kicking off her shoes as Sadie reached out to unbutton Emma's blouse. She
admired the swell of Emma’s breasts, grazing her palms against Emma's supple skin.
“Your skin is the most beautiful shade of brown,” Sadie murmured.
“I could say the same thing about you. Yours always looks so soft.” Emma pulled her close for another taste of her lips, her mouth still sweetened by guava as their tongues intertwined.
“I tried to fight it, but I’ve been craving you. Craving this,” Sadie breathed against Emma’s lips as she unbuttoned Emma's jeans, tugging them down and helping her step out of them before running her fingertips up Emma's thighs. Her hands reached Emma's rounded hips and pulled her closer as she gripped her ass. “You're so soft in all the right places.” Sadie traced upward along Emma's back, unhooking her bright pink bra. “Everything about you is a pop of color. You’re radiant.”
Emma’s breath hitched as she absorbed Sadie’s words, heat emanating from her core as she melted into Sadie’s touch. The world around them fell away as she let Sadie’s praise wash over her.
Sadie held one hand to Emma's throat as she ran her lips over the curve of Emma's breasts, running her tongue up the line between them before taking one of her tight nipples into her mouth. Emma moaned at the contact as Sadie's hands roamed her skin, thumbs hooking the sides of her panties and looking to Emma, waiting for her to nod before pulling them down.
Emma reached for Sadie, running her palms over her breasts before pulling at Sadie's belt buckle.
“Lay back on the bed,” Sadie whispered gently, the rasp in her voice reverberating throughout Emma’s body.
Emma sat on the edge of the mattress, scooting herself back to the center of the bed, her heart pounding in her chest as she stared at the woman crawling toward her. She propped herself up on her elbows to watch as Sadie explored.She sees me.
Sadie slid her fingertips up the length of Emma's body, admiring her curves, kneading her thighs. She leaned forward to kiss Emma's knee and down the inside of her thigh, nipping at the soft flesh. Gently, her index finger traced Emma’s seam and split her apart.
Emma sucked in a breath, closing her eyes, reveling in the contact. She shuddered, her toes beginning to curl instinctively in anticipation.
“I wondered what you would taste like,” Sadie whispered as she applied her tongue to Emma's clit, the warmth of her breath sending delicious tremors through her core.
Emma whined, her hips circling in response. “You did?” She asked, her mouth agape as Sadie's tongue wound circles and lapped at her, Emma’s mind short-circuiting as she moaned at the contact.
“I did.” She breathed. Sadie ran her tongue along the inside of Emma's thighs before hooking her arms under them and closing her lips around the sensitive peak as her hands held Emma open.
“Oh my…” Emma gasped, unable to finish her sentence as Sadie's lips and tongue
intensified the contact, sucking and humming against Emma as she writhed at the sensation, her breath coming quicker as her back arched and her own hands grazed her breasts. Her thighs began to shake as she cried out.
Sadie inserted a finger slowly, Emma's body convulsing in reaction. “You're so wet,” Sadie whispered, her tonguecontinuing to apply pressure to Emma's clit. She added a second finger, angling her hand so that she teased Emma's spot.
Emma convulsed, panting. “I'm… I'm–” she moaned. “Yes. Fuck, yes.”Sadie picked up the pace, the delicious pressure building until lights flashed behind Emma's eyelids. “Oh my god.”
Her body shook as she came, Sadie continuing until every wave of orgasm left her body.
