Nursing Their Feelings

Spencer was knotting the laces on her shoes when Whitney pushed through the door, day shift over, mascara smudged beneath each eye. They missed each other constantly now—one leaving as the other came home, every shared moment traded for sleep. Plans for their double date sat untouched on the fridge. Weekend finally arrived. Neither could move. One phone call each and the dates vanished into voice-mail. Silence settled between them, thick, warm, comfortable. Whitney’s hand brushed Spencer’s knee and stayed. Spencer leaned in. What started shy turned hungry fast: lips opened, tongues pressed, clothes dropped without ceremony. They kissed hard on the couch, then the bedroom floor, mouths sliding over soft breasts, teeth grazing nipples, fingers seeking wetness and finding it. Whitney’s thigh slid between Spencer’s legs; Spencer answered by sinking two fingers deep and stroking until Whitney clenched and gasped. Tongues met again, slower this time, tasting sweat, salt, heat. Every tired muscle came alive. They stayed tangled through the night, legs locked, breaths mingling, the weekend finally theirs—quiet, wet, and long overdue.
