Lies We Tell

Madison freezes in her doorway. Jordan is on the couch like she never left, calm, legs crossed, watching her. The years of silence crack open with one quiet apology. Words slip into the space between them, familiar, warm, then charged. Fingers brush, heat follows. Clothes fall without hurry, but the need behind them has waited too long. Madison drops between Jordan’s spread thighs, tastes salt and skin and years of unspoken want. Jordan’s hand fists her hair, pulls her closer, grinds against her mouth until she shudders. They trade places, suck and lick and fuck each other with tongues and fingers, sweat slick on their bellies. When Madison slides two fingers deep and curls, Jordan comes hard, clenching, biting her own wrist to stay quiet. Madison rides her thigh, chasing the edge, then breaks open with a gasp that turns into Jordan’s name. They stay tangled, breathing heavy. Jordan’s mouth brushes her ear, voice low. “One last thing.” She reaches beneath the cushion, pulls out the small black plug Madison bought years ago and never used. Madison doesn’t speak, just turns onto her stomach, arches her back. Jordan works it in slow, wet, relentless, until Madison trembles again, the second orgasm sharper, her toes curling into the rug. Jordan leaves it inside her and kisses the small of her back, quiet, possessive. Neither moves. The room hums with what they’ve done and what they might do next.
