Love me.
Georgiana set a steady rhythm, and Caroline settled into the feeling. Each thrust was an exquisite blend of pain and pleasure, building towards a different kind of finish. Georgiana’s mouth was agape, her lips damp with continual licking, her own breath coming in harsh pants even though Caroline had not so much as touched her yet. The tiny part of Caroline’s mind that could still formulate thoughts suggested that she ought to do something about that, and she reached down, stroking Georgiana’s stomach, cupping her breasts. The thrustsbecame slightly more erratic as Georgiana responded to the touches, her gaze moving between Caroline’s hands and her own, though the fabric of her dress covered most of what was happening.
Caroline grabbed the hem and rucked it up to give Georgiana a better view, eliciting a moan. “Shall I...”
“Yes,” Georgiana gasped, though Caroline thought she might have agreed to anything at that moment. “Yes, please.”
Caroline dragged her fingers down through soft hair, finding slippery flesh. “If... if you keep doing that,” Georgiana said, sounding slightly strangled, “I won’t be able to stop myself from finishing very quickly.”
The idea excited her beyond measure. Georgiana, out of control, unable to help herself. “That’s rather the point, isn’t it?” she murmured, stroking Georgiana in the fashion she knew would produce the greatest pleasure, watching as her companion squirmed, revelling in the way the fingers inside her stuttered and jerked. “Wait. I’m going to—” Georgiana gasped. “Caroline, I’m going to—”
She finished with a breathy gasp, her eyes screwed shut, her fingers still thrusting into Caroline. The feeling was sublime, and Caroline’s climax came moments later as she shuddered around Georgiana’s fingers, grinding down onto her palm. She collapsed next to Georgiana on the rug, pulling her into a long, breathless kiss that merely stoked the blaze roaring inside her. It was immensely difficult not to whisper a confession ofamor, though even if Caroline had felt herself free to say something of the sort, she hardly knew what that something might have been. Georgiana had made it plain from the beginning that this affair was only ever supposed to continue until Caroline had completed her Great Endeavour,and that nothing further could be offered on Miss Darcy’s end, even if the scheme were not still afoot.
And you agreed to that, remember?the little voice inside her said.You thought yourself incapable of love, did you not?
Caroline had never been so wrong in her whole life, nor regretted any promise more.It will all be well, she promised herself, though she hardly knew how.One may fall out of love as easily as onefallsinto it, or so I have heard.
On that subject, the little voice was silent.
