Rule Four of the Lease Said No Overnight Guests novel · Chapter 23 of 24

Chapter 23: Every Position

Christmas morning started with Lena's mouth on the back of my neck.

I woke face down in her bed with the quilt around my hips and the gray light of snow on the ceiling.

Her arm lay over my waist.

Her body was warm against my back.

The ring and chain pressed a small cold line between my shoulder blades.

"Merry Christmas," she said into my skin.

"Is it morning?"

"It's seven. Quiet hours are over."

"Thank God."

She laughed and slid her hand down my belly.

I opened my legs for her before she asked.

Her fingers found me already wet from dreaming, and she drew a lazy circle around my clit.

"You were making noises in your sleep."

"What kind?"

"Good ones."

She pushed two fingers inside from behind and moved them, easy and slow, and I sighed into the pillow.

I rocked back against her hand.

She kissed my shoulder and stroked deeper, and the warmth built without any hurry, a long soft climb.

"Don't wake up all the way," she whispered.

I didn't.

I came in a sleepy shiver, with my face in the sheet and her name on my lips.

She held me until the last small pulse faded.

"Mm," I said. "Good morning."

"Good morning, my girl."

She kissed my ear, and then she rolled out of bed, and I heard the bathroom door and the pipes start up.

I lay there, grinning.

Then I heard the singing.

It was low and tuneless and warm, and it came through the wall in broken pieces, an old song about a river.

Rule Three, I thought.

L sings in the shower and thinks nobody hears. Let her think so.

I got up and crossed the cold floor on tiptoe and opened the bathroom door.

Steam rolled out.

Lena stood under the spray with her eyes closed and her head back.

The water ran down the lean white length of her.

She was singing, a little off key, with her whole heart.

I stood and listened until the song ended.

She opened her eyes and saw me.

"You heard that," she said.

"I did not."

"You're lying."

"You sing beautifully."

"I do not."

"I'd like to hear it from closer."

I stepped out of my shirt and into the shower and the warm water poured over my shoulders.

Lena looked down at me, flushed and shy, and then she laughed and pulled me against her.

"Rule Three," she said. "Quiet hours."

"They're over."

"Then you can be as loud as you want."

She turned me to face the tile and pressed my palms to the wall.

The water drummed on my back.

She kissed down my spine, and she dropped to her knees behind me and parted my ass with both hands.

I jerked.

"Lena."

"Do you want me to?"

"Yes. God. Yes."

Her tongue touched me there, soft and wet, and a shock of pleasure went through me.

I pushed back against her face, and she licked me in slow circles, then lower, then into my pussy from behind.
