What Changed Your Mind?

Jazlyn Ray fidgets in the doorway, eyes flicking over Serene Siren’s split thighs as the older woman lowers into a wide forward fold. Ever since the papers were signed Serene has moved around the house like a live wire, hips rolling, shoulders tight. Jazlyn had suggested a hobby. Yoga seemed safe, distant. Now it’s anything but. Sweat beads at Serene’s nape. The thin lavender tank darkens between her shoulder blades and rides up just enough to expose the curved rise of her ass where the leggings stretch. Each inhale lengthens her spine; each exhale pushes her chest lower until the mat creaks. Jazlyn watches the fabric pull snug across Serene’s mound. Her own breathing stutters. She slips upstairs, strips, and returns in a matching sage-green set so sheer the nipples show through. Serene blinks up from warrior two, surprised and a little wary. “Changed your mind?” “Guess so.” Jazlyn steps closer, heat flickering low in her belly. She settles behind her stepmother, palms sliding over Serene’s ribs to adjust her reach. The touch lingers. Serene’s breath catches; Jazlyn’s does too. Soon the leggings are peeled down. Bare skin meets bare skin, the cool floor beneath them, the heated press of thigh to thigh. Fingers trace the dip of Serene’s waist, then slip lower. A soft, wet sound fills the quiet room as Jazlyn parts her, rubs slow circles until Serene’s hips rock forward in a wordless plea. Nothing about the angle is random anymore—just slick friction, the subtle roll of two bodies keeping time, yoga long forgotten.
