“Morning,” she whispered.
“It’s a very good one,” Mia mumbled. Those brown eyes blinked at her, less intense when they were still glazed with sleep.
Lauren had seen her in the morning before, but only after Mia had already gotten out of bed, never the moment she woke, and she was immediately enamored with the soft, unguarded woman in front of her. “I love waking up with you.”
“Same. Are you working today?”
“Not until noon, here at the café.”
“Mm, that’s right. I’m only doing admin things this morning. Jordy’s opening, so I vote that you and I take our time getting out of bed.” Mia’s fingers toyed with the hem of Lauren’s T-shirt.
“Sounds perfect to me, but hold that thought for one minute.” Lauren gave Mia a quick peck on the lips before disentangling herself to go into the bathroom. She freshened up quickly, but when she came back into the bedroom, Mia’s eyes were closed.
Lauren crawled into bed, trying not to disturb Mia if she’d fallen back to sleep, but she gripped Lauren’s T-shirt and hauled her in, pausing just before their lips met.
“You brushed your teeth,” Mia murmured.
“Yep.”
“Well, I’m not going to be the only one with morning breath.” Mia released her, then scooted backward and climbed out of bed.
Lauren watched her go, loving the way her bare ass peeked out from beneath her shirt. “Hey, do you have some lip balm I could use?”
“In the bedside table,” Mia said, and then the bathroom door closed behind her.
Lauren reached over and tugged at the drawer. Inside, she found various odds and ends, including a tube of lip balm. As she applied it to her dry lips, her gaze landed on a black, wand-shaped… Was that what Lauren thought it was?
Before she could stop herself, Lauren touched it, and wow, it was so much softer than she’d expected. The surface was almost velvety beneath her fingertips. The buttons on the base left little doubt as to its purpose, but this was fancier than she’d expected a vibrator to be. It seemed as classy as Mia herself.
Somehow, Lauren had imagined them all to be big, purple cock-shaped things, but this…this was nice. And she was totally snooping right now. She quickly withdrew her hand, only to look up and find Mia watching her with an amused smile.
“Want to use it together?” she asked.
“Oh, I don’t…I’ve never…” Lauren spluttered.
“You’ve never used one with a partner?” Mia asked. “It can be a lot of fun, if you want to try.”
“I’ve never used one at all.” Lauren’s face was burning, and certain other parts of her were warming up too as she imagined using the vibrator with Mia.
“Really?” Mia sat beside her and took the vibrator out of the drawer.
Lauren stared at it. Nestled against Mia’s palm, it looked even more inviting. “Never, and I didn’t know they looked like this either. It’s so fancy.”
Mia pressed one of the buttons, and it began to buzz in her hand, a low purr of a noise that immediately made Lauren wet. “Want to try it?”
“Yes,” Lauren whispered. “I want to use it with you.”
Mia’s grin was pure sex as she slid forward, pressing Lauren against the sheets. Lauren could still hear the vibrator, but she couldn’t feel it, and the sound was its own form of foreplay as she imagined what it would feel like. Mia dipped her head and kissed her, simultaneously pressing the vibrator against Lauren’s inner thigh.
“Oh!” She jerked like she’d received an electric shock, but this was a million times more pleasant. The vibrator was as warm as Mia’s fingers now and just as soft where it hummed against her skin. The ache between Lauren’s thighs intensified.
“You like?” Mia murmured against her lips.
“Yes.” Lauren squirmed beneath her as Mia slowly slid the wand up her inner thigh.
“Ready?” Mia’s eyes were scorching hot as they met Lauren’s.
She could only nod, desperate to feel the vibrator against her clit. Or inside her? Maybe both. Mia brought the vibrator to the junction of Lauren’s thighs, pressing it firmly against her aching flesh, and she couldn’t contain the cry that burst from her lips.
