Chapter 19: The Mirror

The cloth fell off the mirror in one soft slide, and Hinata gasped.

It was a tall silver glass in a carved white frame, nearly as high as the ceiling.

It was the clearest mirror either of them had seen in this world.

It showed the whole bathing room, the steaming pool and the lamps.

It showed them both.

Hinata knelt on a heap of cushions in front of it, naked, with her chestnut hair loose down her back.

Mai knelt behind her, naked too, with her glasses on and her black hair damp from the bath.

"Look," Mai said.

"I'm looking."

"No. Look at yourself."

Mai put her hands on Hinata's shoulders from behind, and let them slide down, slowly, over her collarbones, over the swell of her breasts.

In the mirror, Hinata watched pale long hands close around her own soft flesh.

Her lips parted.

"You're so pretty," Mai said, low against her ear. "Do you see it?"

"I see you."

"See you."

She thumbed both nipples, and in the glass they hardened, dark and tight.

Hinata's mouth fell open.

"Oh," Hinata whispered. "I look..."

"Yes. You do."

Mai kissed the side of her neck, slow, and kept her eyes on the glass.

She watched her own mouth move over Hinata's skin.

She had never in her life watched herself want something, and it gave her a strange hot ache.

"I'm twenty-six," she said. "And I've never watched."

"Do you like it?"

"I think I'm going to die of it."

"Good," Hinata breathed. "Don't look away."

Mai slid one hand down Hinata's stomach, over the soft curve, through the chestnut curls.

Mai cupped her, and Hinata was already slick, and in the mirror her hips pushed forward into the palm.

"Spread your knees."

Hinata spread them, wide, on the cushions.

The mirror showed everything, pink and open and wet, Mai's long fingers parting her, the clit swollen and shining.

"Mai." Hinata's voice cracked. "That's so..."

"Rude?"

"Yes."

"Beautiful. Say it."

"It's beautiful," Hinata whispered, and shuddered. "We're beautiful."

Mai circled the clit with her middle finger, slowly.

Hinata's head fell back on her shoulder, and her eyes stayed open on the glass, dark and glassy.

"Watch my hand," Mai murmured. "Watch how much you want it."

"I can't stop."

"Good girl."

Mai pushed two fingers in, deep, and curled them.

Hinata cried out and her whole body bowed.

In the mirror Mai saw her own face above Hinata's shoulder, flushed and wild, with fogged lenses and parted lips.

She looked like a woman who loved someone.

"Oh," Mai said, without meaning to. "Oh. That's what it looks like."

"What does?"

"Me."

Hinata turned her head and kissed Mai's jaw, clumsy and tender, and then turned back to watch.

"You look like mine," she said.

Mai moved her fingers faster.

Hinata's thighs shook, and her breath came in sharp pulls, and the wet sound of it filled the tiled room.

"Don't come yet," Mai said.

"Mai..."

"I want you to wait. I want something first."
