Page 84 of She’ll Steal Your Heart
Mia must have felt her tense, because she lifted her head to meet Lauren’s eyes. “My dad’s going to adore you. So will Addie. They’re so laidback and welcoming. I promise you’re going to get along.”
“It’s not that I’m afraid he’ll dislike me. It’s just…I don’t know.”
Mia’s hands fisted in the back of Lauren’s shirt, holding her close. “You’re missing your family and feeling weird about spending the holiday with mine?”
“Something like that,” Lauren whispered, leaning in until her forehead rested against Mia’s so she could breathe in the comfort of her scent.
“I’m sorry. I know it’s hard without Craig.”
“It is, but being with you makes it a little easier.”
“You’ve made this year a lot better for me too,” Mia murmured, and her lips brushed Lauren’s, a gentle, comforting kiss. They held each other for several minutes, and all of Lauren’s tension melted away within the warmth of Mia’s embrace and the pleasure of her lips.
“I have a lot to be thankful for today,” Lauren said.
“So do I, and speaking of Thanksgiving, I need to bake a pie this morning.”
Lauren smiled. “Since when do you bake?”
“Only on holidays,” Mia said against her lips, “which means, as much as I want to spend the morning in bed with you, I’ve got to get moving.”
“That’s a damn shame, although I can’t wait to help you bake a pie.”
“It can wait just afewminutes,” Mia whispered before she disappeared beneath the sheet, kissing a hot trail down Lauren’s stomach.
“Oh,” Lauren gasped as Mia placed a gentle kiss against her hip.
“Yes,” Mia murmured, her lips hot against Lauren’s skin. She placed several kisses across Lauren’s thighs while her fingers traced erotic patterns on her skin. Everything felt heightened with Mia hidden beneath the sheet, and Lauren was already intensely aroused.
And then Mia’s mouth closed over her clit. Lauren moaned, long and low, her hips arching toward Mia. She closed her eyes and surrendered to the pleasure of Mia’s mouth as she licked and sucked and swirled her tongue until Lauren was about to lose her mind.
She came with a cry, pleasure bursting through her system, obliterating the last remnants of sleep from her brain. Yep, she was wide-awake now, still gasping with pleasure as Mia reappeared from beneath the sheet to give her a quick kiss.
“Did I hear an offer to help me bake pie?” she asked with a cocky grin.
“Yep, but not until I have a taste of you first.”
Lauren tossed the sheet aside and shimmied down Mia’s body, finding her already wet. Apparently getting Lauren off turned Mia on, and she could relate. Nothing was more arousing than watching Mia come apart beneath her.
Lauren took her time, kissing and teasing until Mia was good and ready for her, and then she pressed the flat of her tongue against Mia’s clit, rewarded by a harsh gasp. She coated two of her fingers in Mia’s wetness before sliding them inside her. Mia’s hips bucked beneath her, and she sank her hands into Lauren’s hair, holding her close.
Within minutes, Lauren had Mia writhing beneath her. She came with a shout, her body tensing and then going limp against the sheet. Lauren trailed her lips over Mia’s stomach and up her chest to her mouth, where they met for a passionate kiss.
“Happy Thanksgiving indeed,” Mia murmured, still breathing heavily.
Lauren laughed, but yeah, she was pretty thankful for the way their morning had started too. They held each other until they’d caught their breath. Then they got up, dressed, and went into the kitchen.
“What kind of pie are we baking?”
“Chocolate cream,” Mia said as she took a ball of dough out of the fridge.
“That’s not what I was expecting,” Lauren admitted.
Mia gave her an affectionate smile. “It was my favorite when I was growing up, and to be honest, it’s the only one my dad trusts me with. I’d definitely screw up something more complicated.”
“I’m not sure I’ve ever had a chocolate pie before, but I think I’m going to like it,” Lauren said with a grin.
“Based on your coffee order, I think you agree that chocolate makes everything better?”
