Whispers of Betrayal

Amirah wants to marry Lia and carries the ring in her pocket like a secret. She drops to one knee, heart hammering, and asks the question. Lia hesitates, then says yes. The three of them pile onto the bed later—Amirah, Lia, and Kelly—blankets tangled, television flickering. Amirah lies still, eyes closed, while the other two inch closer. Fingers find skin. Mouths meet in silence. Lia slides her hand under Kelly’s shirt and cups her breast, thumb tracing a stiff nipple. Kelly answers with a slow kiss down Lia’s neck, then slips two fingers inside her, moving with the steady rhythm of someone who knows every spot that makes her shake. Amirah watches through barely parted lashes. Every wet sound, every stifled moan lands like a bruise. Her body stays frozen, but heat floods her cunt anyway. She feels the betrayal settle in her chest and the ache throb between her thighs at the same time. Kelly turns Lia onto her back, parts her legs, and licks her open with long, deliberate strokes. Lia arches, grabs fistfuls of sheet, and comes hard enough to shake the mattress. Amirah swallows the sound of her own breath and lets the hurt burn through her.
