Mysterious Ways

Two women lie tangled on crisp white sheets, the October light soft and low. One is brunette, small-breasted, her nipples dark and tight from the chill. The other traces the fine script etched above her hip, fingers following the ink like a secret she already knows. Their mouths meet, slow at first, then deeper, tongues brushing, wet. The tattooed one slides a thigh between her lover’s, grinding slow and sure while small hands cup and squeeze her modest breasts. They kiss again, harder, breath catching. Fingers slip lower, parting slick folds, finding heat. The brunette arches, offering herself without a word, and the quiet room fills with the sound of skin on skin and the soft, steady rhythm of pleasure given and taken.
