Told from Ava's POV

“Quit fussing with it already, you look beautiful.”

Arms snaked around my waist and I looked at my lover's reflection in the mirror, a blush staining my cheeks. Rowena gave me a mischievous grin, her long, thick lashes giving her silver eyes a seductive gleam. She kissed my neck before nipping my pale flesh gently, causing me to squirm in her arms.

“Will you stop that?” I squeaked as she bit my neck harder, glaring at her reflection. My hands – previously occupied with my hair - fell to my sides.

“Oh my darling, I love it when you glare at me like that.” Her eyes flashed up to my visage, a smirk growing on her thick lips. I felt my face growing hotter by the second and I elbowed her in the ribs. She stepped away, pouting and rubbing her side. “What was that for?”

“For teasing me. That isn't nice.” I crossed my arms over my chest, skittering towards the wall while keeping my eyes on Rowena. Big mistake; or not, depending on how you look at it.

Next thing I knew, she had my back pinned to the wall, one of her knees nestled up between my legs. Our noses were nearly touching, and I could feel her hot, minty breath on my skin. A shiver slid down my spine as her lips pressed to my jawline, trailing kisses down to the bottom of my throat, scraping her teeth against my collarbone.

“Is this nice enough for you, Ava?” she breathed into my ear, her warm hand skimming up under my shirt and cupping my breast through my bra.

“Damn it! Stop!” I fidgeted and turned my head away, too embarrassed to look at her, although we'd done more than this many times before. I could never get over the shyness; maybe I never would.

“Why?” I felt her fingers slide beneath my bra's underwire, softly caressing me. “I think you're enjoying this. You always do.”

My entire body heated up and all I wanted to do was run and hide from her. She was right, but damn it, I didn't want her to be. I couldn't deny her, not like this with her hands all over me. Rowena knew which buttons to press, and which had the better effects. So help me if she didn't take advantage of it.
