Part 19 (2/2)

”Stop talking. I want the other half of you going, too.” Honor wrapped her arms around Quinn and fell backward onto the bed, yanking Quinn down with her.

”Jesus!” Quinn caught herself with both arms extended, her rigid body stretched over Honor's. Their b.r.e.a.s.t.s and bellies touched. ”You said easy!”

”Lie down, baby, please.” Honor let her fingers travel through the warm, damp curls at the base of Quinn's belly, and when she found her already hard and throbbing, she groaned. ”Oh, look at you. You're a lot more than half ready.” She grasped Quinn's c.l.i.t delicately with two fingers, squeezing just hard enough to make Quinn groan. ”Quinn?”

”Unnh,” Quinn croaked, collapsing onto her side facing Honor. Her eyes didn't focus, and she blinked rapidly to clear her vision. ”What?”

”You may be able to wait,” she whispered, trapping Quinn's leg between her own and pressing herself hard against the taut muscle of Quinn's thigh. ”But I can't.”

Honor licked Quinn's neck and slowly slid her fingertips up and down the length of her c.l.i.toris. She was immediately rewarded with a quickening in Quinn's already rapid breathing and her own breath caught in her throat. ”Touch me too. I love you so much, and I'm so excited right now.”

Quinn managed to slide her fingers between Honor's legs without dislodging Honor's exquisite hold on her. Mirroring Honor's motion, she returned pleasure for pleasure. ”G.o.d, you make me feel so good.”

Honor closed her eyes and kissed her, tilting her hips to signal she wanted Quinn inside. When Quinn hesitated, she opened her eyes. ”It's all right. I need you, baby. I really need you.”

”Oh Jesus,” Quinn groaned, easing into the welcoming depths. ”You feel amazing. So hot... so tight.”

Honor clenched inside and her breath fled on a soft sob. ”I never thought... never thought I'd have a love like this.”

”I'm here.” Quinn pressed gently, spreading her fingers to fill her. ”I'll always be right here.”

Honor's pupils flickered and she trembled, working her hand faster between Quinn's legs. ”We're going to have a baby.”

”Yes.” Quinn moaned. ”And you're going to make me come.”

”Me, too. Any second.”

”Okay,” Quinn gasped. She held her hips still and swept her thumb over Honor's c.l.i.toris. ”You first.”

Honor's vision clouded as a deep surge of exquisitely pleasurable pressure filled her belly, then she shook her head. ”Uh-uh. You.”

Honor rested her forehead on Quinn's, their lips barely touching. Quinn dipped her tongue slowly into Honor's mouth. Honor sucked the tip of it in and out, her fingers ceaselessly stroking. She teased and pushed and pulled and Quinn echoed each move.

”I'm about to come.”

”Baby? Now?”

”With you. Want to... with you.”

Circling firmer, faster. Stroking deeper.

”Ready?”

”Soon. Oh G.o.d, soon.”

Legs twitching, hips pumping, bellies knotting. Sweat mingling on slick skin, flushed with love.

”Oh, I need to come,” Quinn groaned. ”I'm almost... so close.”

”Let me help you.” Honor found Quinn's nipple and tugged. ”Baby? Good, baby?”

”So good. Almost-” Quinn's voice broke on a moan.

”Feel me?” Honor clutched Quinn's shoulder. ”Oh G.o.d, feel me coming? I can't wait...”

”Do it,” Quinn gasped.

”Coming! Baby, I'm coming.” Honor thrust against Quinn, climaxing around her fingers, arching to touch Quinn everywhere. Still coming, she cupped her palm over the fragile flesh that pulsed and beat beneath her fingers and stroked the slick ridge in tight, hard circles. ”Oh baby, you're so beautiful. Come in my hand, baby, come in-”

Quinn's back bowed. ”Coming. Coming so hard.”

”Oh yes, baby, oh yes.” Honor held her lover inside the protective circle of her arms, inside her body, inside her heart. ”I love you.”

Quinn caught her breath and kissed her. ”I love you. Feel okay?”

”Better than okay. I'd forgotten how s.e.xy I felt when I was pregnant with Arly.”

”Yeah?” Quinn caressed her breast. ”Good for me.”

”Mmm, me too.” Honor pressed her sensitive nipple against Quinn's hand. ”Want to go back to the party?”

”What's my other choice?”

”Stay here and make love to me again.”

”That's an easy one.” Quinn pulled Honor on top of her. ”So easy loving you.”

Filled to Overflowing Karin Kallmaker ”I think I've got a blister, but that hike was worth every step.” Cat leaned into Jessica and closed her eyes.

”We actually stood on Lesbos. I'm blown away.” Truthfully, Jessica's feet were throbbing too, but a soak in the s.h.i.+p's hot tub before the promised pastry extravaganza at dinner would make it all better. Some sips of nice ruby port Herine had given them as a bon voyage gift would also be dandy.

”I wonder how Kitty is-”

”Nuh uh.” Jessica pointed a warning finger at Cat. ”We are not grandmothers. Therefore do not mention the grandchildren. We agreed.”

”I know. It's hard not to wonder, though.” Cat straightened up, her gaze fixed on the s.h.i.+p as they rapidly approached it in the pa.s.senger sea shuttle.

”Every day for the last three years, nearly, we've been part of their lives. It's only right that Rob's parents get this week. I'm sure everyone is doing well.” Jessica resolutely did not voice any of the many petty thoughts she'd found herself considering at the idea that Kitty and Hank might call someone else Meemaw.

Cat squeezed her hand sympathetically. ”We were on Lesbos.”

”Yeah. This was a great idea.”

”And how sweet of the kids to give us this in antic.i.p.ation of our thirtieth anniversary.”

”I was just thinking about that bottle of port Herine gave us.”
