Tensions Rising

Hazel Moore walks through Octavia Red’s front door already scattered, dropping a bottle of oil, then her table sheets. Octavia watches, amused, then bends to help. When the table is finally upright, Hazel starts on Octavia’s back. Her palms press warm, deliberate strokes from neck to hips. Octavia breathes out slow. The hands move lower, gliding along her shoulders, down the dip of her waist, then over the full round swell of her ass and the backs of her thighs. Each pass feels smoother, heavier. Octavia’s skin tightens under the touch, nipples stiff against the sheet. Hazel’s fingers linger on the crease where thigh meets ass, testing the give there. Octavia lifts her hips a fraction and the towel slips. Hazel doesn’t pull it back. Instead her hand slips lower, knuckles brushing the red curls between Octavia’s legs, slick already. Two fingers press in, easy, wet heat swallowing them to the knuckle. Octavia exhales a soft curse and rocks back, taking them deeper. Hazel keeps the rhythm steady—short, deep strokes, thumb rolling over the swollen clit on each pass. Octavia’s hips chase the pressure, breath catching every time Hazel curls her fingers just right.
