“I will tell you when you can bring me that pleasure, Cameron. Not until I tell you. Finish what you started.”

I return to bathing her nipples with my mouth and tugging them between my fingertips. Piper’s skin is soft and warm under my hands. She grasps my fingers and twists her nipple to meet my lips. I lick at her and suck her hard. She moans and tugs harder at her nipple. I moan loudly, sure that I will come before I have a chance to bring her pleasure.

“I can’t wait to touch you,” Piper says.

I feel Piper’s legs fall apart and remind myself she hasn’t invited me to taste her.

“I want to feel your tongue on me, Cameron.”

I don’t require a second invitation. My tongue snakes between her cleavage, over her belly, and to her thigh. I settle between her legs and lick her steadily, tracing her center before flattening my tongue over her clit. Piper’s hips buck, but it’s mewho moans. I’ve never wanted anything so much—more than feeling Piper touch me; I want to bring her pleasure—make her writhe and hear her voice her appreciation.

“So good, Cameron. Keep going. Don’t stop until I come for you. Just like that.”

My neck strains, and my knees ache, but I wouldn't give up this prize for anything. It’s sweeter than anything I’ve tasted and more thrilling than anything I’ve experienced. Her hands clutch my hair, and her hips buck wildly.

"Cameron." My name falls from her lips urgently. "Fuck."

I hold onto her hips as her orgasm pulls her under, continuing to tease her center until she pulls me up to face her. Her lips meet mine more tenderly than I expect.

“Cameron,” she says.

As she speaks my name, I know I could fall in love with Piper. I cling to her.

“Shh,” she says. “It’s all right.”

“Piper.” I want her so much it hurts.

“It’s all right, Cameron.” Piper holds me close and kisses my temple. “I told you we’ll start slowly. I want to touch you.”

I nod against her. I need her to lead. I can’t form any thoughts as feelings roll through me.

Piper pushes me back, pulls me up, and leads me to the sofa. “Lie down, Cam.”

I follow her instructions.

“Beautiful,” she says, and she hovers over me. “Tonight, we take things softly.”

I don’t know if I am relieved or disappointed. Maybe both.

“Tonight,” she says. “Trust me. I want to discover you—everything that unfolds your desires.” Piper kisses me before dropping her mouth to my breast. “This isn’t a movie, Cam. It’s not a story. This is the beginning of us.”

Piper’s words wash over me, warming me from the inside out.

“If you let me, I will take you to all the places you’re still afraid to tell me you want to explore. One at a time. If that’s what you want.”

“Yes.”

“Yes?”

“Yes, I want that.”

Piper nips my neck. “Good. Because I will push you, Cameron, push you out of your comfort zone. I will reveal you—not for me—for you.”

It feels as if Piper’s hands are everywhere. I can barely breathe as her tongue sucks tenderly on my nipples. “Piper?”

“Yes, Cam?”

“I want,” my thought dies on my lips.
