“I don’t do this.” Quinn sucked in a breath, slightly taken aback by the emotion in her own voice.
“What’s that?”
Quinn pursed her lips. “Start something that isn’t going anywhere.”
Emily nodded. “I’m afraid I don’t have a counter-argument to that.”
Quinn’s stomach flip-flopped. The adrenaline that had been running through her earlier had come to a screeching halt.
“What I do know,” Emily said, lifting her hand to tuck a piece of hair behind Quinn’s ear, her fingertips brushing along her temple, lingering beneath her ear, “Is that back then, I never thought I could want someone as much as I wanted you. But I had no idea that what I’d been feeling was just the surface. I’ve never wanted someone as much as I want you right now, and I think you feel it too.”
Quinn swallowed down the lump in her throat. She couldn’t say anything, so Emily continued.
“But you’re right,” Emily said softly. “I can’t offer you anything more than a few weeks together. If that’s something that you’d want. I don’t even know which is worse,” she said with a wry smile. “Having to say goodbye to you without knowing what it was like to be with you or…” Her voice trailed off.
Quinn bit the inside of her cheek, knowing exactly what Emily meant. Which was worse? “It would be easier to never know,” Quinn said, thinking out loud.
“Would it?” Emily’s eyes searched her own, and Quinn lost herself in the pull of Emily’s gravity, leaning in, because in that moment, the only thing she wanted was for her lips to meet Emily’s again.
Emily moaned into the kiss, her hands slipping underneath Quinn’s blouse, her palms hot, her fingers lightly raking over her back as they deepened the kiss.
A strangled moan left Quinn’s lips when Emily’s hand rested on her hip, urging her to continue her gentle rocking motion, and the pressure of her pants against her throbbing clit sent off fireworks within Quinn.
There was no going back.
Not now.
Not when Quinn was already so close.

Emily groaned when Quinn’s hand slid down her neck and over the swell of her breast. Even through the fabric of her top, Emily’s nipple tightened, her hips lifting to meet Quinn’s as they continued to kiss, their hands roaming now, and Emily didn’t know how much more she could take like this, fully clothed.
Emily loved having Quinn on top of her, but they were both losing control, desperation taking over. And Emily couldn’t keep the vision of pressing Quinn against the sheets and having her way with her out of her head.
Behind Quinn, the fire crackled and popped. It was the only noise in the room besides their moans. It was electric, this chemistry, and as much as Emily had wanted Quinn, she never could have imagined it being like this.
Quinn’s lips nipped at her neck now, her breath warm against Emily’s skin as she murmured, “You’re driving me crazy.”
Emily’s heart skipped, the muscles beneath her stomach jumping as Quinn’s hand moved lower, disappearing beneath her top, her fingers hot against her skin.
“I need more, Quinn.” Emily’s hand groped her ass now, both of them more daring it seemed. “I need to see you.”
“Then come to bed with me.”
Emily swallowed as she noticed the unmistakable lust in Quinn’s eyes.

Emily’s breath caught as she lifted Quinn’s top over her head, letting it fall to the carpeted floor of her bedroom, the warmth of the lamps in the room providing enough light to see Quinn, her black lacy bra, and the curves of her gorgeous body.
“You’re beautiful,” Emily whispered as she stepped into Quinn’s space, her hands on Quinn’s hips as their lips met again, a slow, deep kiss, and Emily sighed as Quinn’s tongue slid over her own.
Emily swayed into Quinn as she felt Quinn’s hands caress her ass, her thigh between Emily’s legs now, and it was all Emily could do to stay standing.
Quinn’s eyes were dark when she finally pulled away from Emily. “This has to go...” She reached for the hem of Emily’s blouse.
Emily nodded, breathless, letting Quinn lift it over her head. Their black pants were next, both of them taking turns stepping out of them between more heated kissing.
