Next thing she knew, Maddie was on her. Her lips crashed into Alyanna’s, sloppy and unrefined but hungry, demanding. Alyanna froze, her mind spinning as Maddie’s hands gripped her shoulders, pulling her closer. Their lips met, sloppy and unrefined, like Maddie had never kissed anyone before. It was messy, but there was an eagerness to it, a hunger that made Alyanna’s stomach flip. She tried to pull away, but Maddie’s hands were already on her waist, holding her in place.
The video played on in the background, the sound of Alyanna’s soft moans filling the room. Maddie broke the kiss, her breath hot against Alyanna’s skin. “You know what?” she said, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand and letting go of Alyanna. “This is boring.”
Alyanna blinked, confusion cutting through the haze in her mind. “W-what?”
Maddie smirked, stepping back slightly. “Let’s make a deal. “I’ll delete the videos. All of them and I’ll leave you alone if you can do what I tell you to. If not…” She shrugged, leaning in so close that Alyanna could feel the warmth of her breath, her grin widening. “Well, I guess I’ll just have to stick around. Maybe move in. Wouldn’t that be fun?”
What? Alyanna’s mind spun. The words hung in the air, heavy and suffocating. Alyanna’s heart raced. She wanted to scream, to push Maddie away, but something held her back. There was something about the way Maddie looked at her, the way her voice dropped to a whisper, that made Alyanna’s knees weak.
“I—” Alyanna started, but Maddie cut her off with another kiss, this one deeper, more insistent. Her hands slid up Alyanna’s sides, stopping just below her chest.
“You like it, don’t you?” Maddie murmured against her lips. Her fingers brushed against the curve of Alyanna’s breast, her touch light but deliberate. “Don’t lie to me. I can feel how much you’re enjoying this.”
Alyanna shook her head, though her body betrayed her.
“No,” Alyanna whispered, though her traitorous body arched slightly toward Maddie’s touch. A soft moan escaped her lips, muffled by Maddie’s mouth. Stop, she thought, even as her hips pressed forward, seeking more.
“No?” Maddie teased, pulling back just enough to look Alyanna in the eye. Her hand slid beneath Alyanna’s shirt, cupping her breast under her bra, her thumb circling her nipple until it hardened under her touch. Alyanna’s breath caught as Maddie’s thumb flickered over her nipple, sending sparks through her veins. “Imagine…Every time you sleep,” Maddie continued, her fingers slipping inside Alyanna’s bra, “you’ll wake up to this.”
Alyanna’s moan escaped before she could stop it, soft and breathy. The sound echoed in the room, mingling with the faint hum of the video still playing in the background. Maddie’s grin turned predatory. “Oh, you’re getting turned on by this, huh?”
“No,” Alyanna lied, her voice barely a whisper. “Just… delete the videos. That was years ago. I was stupid.”
But even as she spoke, she could feel the heat pooling between her legs, her body betraying her every thought. Maddie knew it too.
Maddie tilted her head, her expression softening for just a moment before she smiled again. “You want me to delete them?”
“Yes,” Alyanna pleaded, her voice breaking. “Please.”
Maddie’s smile widened. “Then you’ll do anything I say?”
Alyanna hesitated, her mind racing. Anything? But the weight of those videos, the thought of them circulating, kept her rooted in place. “Y-yes,” she whispered.
“Good,” Maddie said, her tone shifting to something almost predatory. She reached for Alyanna’s hand, guiding it downward. “Touch yourself.”
Alyanna blinked, startled. “What?”
“You heard me. Touch yourself. Right here. Right now.”
For a moment, Alyanna froze. Was she really going to do this? But the pressure of Maddie’s gaze, the heat building in her core, pushed her forward. She let her hand slide just above the waistband of her pants
Maddie’s voice cut through the heavy air, sharp and commanding. “Take off your pants.”
Alyanna hesitated for only a second before her fingers fumbled with the button of her jeans. The fabric slid down her legs, pooling at her ankles. She stepped out of them, her breath shallow, her skin tingling under Maddie’s gaze.
“Now the panties.”
Alyanna’s hands trembled as she hooked her thumbs into the waistband of her underwear. She glanced up, catching Maddie’s eyes—dark, unreadable, but burning with something that made her stomach twist. She pushed the delicate fabric down, letting it fall to the floor.
“Sit,” Maddie instructed, gesturing to the sofa. Alyanna obeyed, lowering herself onto the edge, her thighs pressed together instinctively.
“Open your legs.”
The command was soft but firm, leaving no room for argument. Alyanna exhaled sharply, her chest rising and falling as she slowly parted her knees. The cool air hit her exposed flesh, making her shiver.
Maddie crouched in front of her, her gaze dropping between Alyanna’s legs. A low hum escaped her lips, almost approving. “Look at you,” she murmured, her voice dripping with amusement. “Basang basa ka na. You’re enjoying this more than you want to admit, aren’t you?”
Alyanna’s cheeks flushed, but she didn’t deny it. Her body betrayed her, every inch of her skin alive with anticipation.
“Play with yourself,” Maddie said, leaning back on her heels, her eyes locked on Alyanna’s face. “Show me how much you like being watched.”
Alyanna’s hand moved hesitantly at first, her fingers brushing against her clit. The touch sent a jolt through her, and she gasped, her hips jerking forward. She closed her eyes, trying to steady herself, but Maddie’s voice pulled her back.
“Eyes open,” Maddie snapped. “I want you to see me.”
Alyanna’s eyelids fluttered open, her gaze meeting Maddie’s. Her fingers began to move with more purpose, circling her clit in slow, deliberate motions. The thrill of being watched, of being *seen*, sent heat coursing through her veins.
“Remember the videos you sent me?” Maddie’s voice was low, almost hypnotic. “How you touched yourself? How you rode your own fingers, played with your toys, moaning my name like I was right there with you?”
Alyanna’s breath hitched, her movements faltering for a moment before she picked up the pace. The memory of those videos, the way she’d fantasized about Maddie watching her, flooded her mind. Her body responded instantly, her hips rocking against her hand, her moans growing louder.
“You wanted this,” Maddie continued, her tone laced with satisfaction. “You wanted me to see you like this, didn’t you?”
Alyanna couldn’t speak, her words lost in the haze of pleasure building inside her. Her fingers worked faster, her breaths coming in short, desperate gasps. She was close—so close—when Maddie suddenly reached out, grabbing her wrist and pulling her hand away.
“Not yet,” Maddie said, her voice a whisper now, her lips curling into a sly smile. “We’re not done.”
Alyanna groaned, her body trembling with need. “Wh-why?”
Maddie grinned. “One last task. Pick a number from one to ten, and if you get it right, I’ll let you go.”
Confusion flickered across Alyanna’s face. “F-for what?”
“Just pick a number,” Maddie repeated, her voice tinged with impatience.
Alyanna hesitated, then mumbled, “Eight.”
Maddie’s eyes gleamed as she replaced Alyanna’s hand with her own, her fingers circling Alyanna’s clit with practiced ease. “Good choice,” she murmured, her lips brushing against Alyanna’s ear.
Maddie’s fingers curled around the hem of Alyanna’s shirt, lifting it slowly, deliberately. The fabric slid up her torso, exposing the soft curve of her stomach, then higher, until her breasts were bare. Maddie’s gaze lingered for a moment, dark and hungry, before she leaned in, her lips closing around one nipple. Her tongue flicked against it, teasing, coaxing a sharp gasp from Alyanna’s throat.
“Ah—!” Alyanna’s back arched off the sofa, her hands scrambling to grip Maddie’s shoulders. The sensation was electric, Maddie’s mouth hot and insistent, her tongue swirling in tight circles. At the same time, Maddie’s other hand moved between Alyanna’s legs, her fingers finding her clit with unerring precision. They worked fast, flicking and circling, relentless in their rhythm.
Alyanna’s breath came in short, ragged bursts, her hips rocking into Maddie’s touch. “M-Maddie—” she choked out, her voice breaking as pleasure coiled tighter and tighter inside her.
Maddie pulled back just enough to trail kisses up Alyanna’s neck, her teeth grazing the sensitive skin there. Her free hand moved to Alyanna’s other breast, fingers pinching and rolling her nipple, tugging gently until Alyanna whimpered. “You’re so responsive,” Maddie murmured against her neck, her breath hot. “Every little touch… you feel it everywhere, don’t you?”
Alyanna couldn’t answer, her body too consumed by the storm building within her. Maddie’s fingers on her clit sped up, the pressure increasing until Alyanna’s thighs trembled, her toes curling. She was close—so close—and Maddie knew it. Her lips found Alyanna’s ear, her voice a low, husky whisper. “Come for me.”
The command shattered her. Alyanna’s back arched sharply, her head falling back as pleasure erupted through her in waves. Her moan echoed in the room, raw and unfiltered, her body shuddering under Maddie’s hands. Maddie didn’t stop, her fingers still working, drawing out every last tremor until Alyanna collapsed against the sofa, spent and trembling.
Maddie leaned back, a satisfied smirk playing on her lips. “One,” she said softly, her eyes gleaming. “Naguumpisa pa lang tayo Alyanna.”
She pulled back slightly, her fingers still teasing Alyanna’s clit, though slower now, deliberate. “You’ve done this before, haven’t you?” Her eyes locked onto Alyanna’s, searching for the truth even as her touch kept Alyanna teetering on the edge. “Tell me, what do they usually do to you?”
Alyanna’s breath hitched, her mind foggy from the intensity of Maddie’s touch. The question hung in the air, heavy and insistent. She hesitated, her lips parting but no words coming out.
Maddie leaned closer, her free hand brushing a strand of hair from Alyanna’s face. “Answer me,” she said, her tone firm but not unkind. “What do they do to you?”
Alyanna swallowed hard, her cheeks burning. “Th-they… they use their fingers,” she stammered, her voice barely above a whisper.
Maddie’s lips curved into a sly smile. “Good girl.” Without warning, she slipped two fingers inside Alyanna, slow and steady, letting her adjust to the intrusion. Alyanna gasped, her back arching off the sofa as Maddie’s long fingers filled her, stretching her just enough to make her toes curl.
Maddie’s fingers moved with purpose, exploring, searching. Then she found it—the spot that made Alyanna’s breath catch, her hips jerk forward. Maddie curled her fingers, pressing against Alyanna’s g-spot with precision. “Is this it?” she asked, her voice low, almost teasing.
Alyanna couldn’t speak, her body too consumed by the sensation. Her hands clawed at the sofa cushions, her thighs trembling as Maddie hit that spot again and again, each stroke sending electric shocks through her. She was close—so close—and then it happened. Her second orgasm crashed over her, wave after wave of pleasure ripping through her body. She cried out, her voice raw and unfiltered, her nails digging into Maddie’s shoulders as she rode out the intensity. Two.
But Maddie didn’t stop. Her fingers kept moving, scissoring inside Alyanna, stretching her further, circling deeper. Alyanna’s moans turned into desperate whimpers, her body writhing as Maddie added a third finger, the stretch making her gasp. Maddie’s other hand moved to Alyanna’s clit, her thumb rubbing tight, fast circles that sent sparks shooting through Alyanna’s core.
“Ugh… Maddie, please…” Alyanna begged, her voice barely above a whisper.
The combination was too much—too intense. Alyanna’s hips bucked uncontrollably, her thighs clamping around Maddie’s hand as another orgasm tore through her. This time, it was different. Her body tensed, her back arching off the sofa as warmth spilled from her, soaking Maddie’s fingers and the fabric beneath her. Alyanna’s breath came in ragged gasps, her chest heaving as she collapsed back onto the sofa, utterly spent.
Maddie slowed her movements, her fingers still inside Alyanna but gentler now, coaxing her through the aftershocks. “Three,” she murmured, her voice soft but smug. She leaned down, pressing a kiss to Alyanna’s forehead. “You’re doing so well honey.”
Alyanna could only nod weakly, her body still trembling, her mind hazy with pleasure. Maddie’s touch had left her raw, exposed, and yet she couldn’t deny the thrill of it—the way Maddie knew exactly how to push her, how to unravel her completely.
Alyanna’s mind was a blur of sensation, her body on fire. She barely registered Maddie’s next words: “If you want me to stop, just tap my shoulder. Otherwise… we keep going.”
Maddie’s grip on Alyanna’s wrist tightened, pulling her hand away from her own trembling body. Alyanna gasped, her chest heaving as Maddie guided her hand downward, placing it against the firm bulge hidden beneath Maddie’s pants.
“Feel that?” Maddie whispered, her voice low and teasing, her lips brushing against Alyanna’s ear. “I’ve been waiting for you to notice… but you were too busy squirming under my fingers.”
Alyanna’s breath hitched as her fingers traced the outline of the strap-on beneath Maddie’s clothing. Her mind raced, a mix of panic and arousal flooding her senses. This isn’t real, she thought, but the hardness pressing back against her palm told her otherwise. She couldn’t tear her hand away, even if she wanted to.
“Now,” Maddie purred, her tone leaving no room for argument, “you’re going to ride me.”
Alyanna hesitated, her knees weak, her body still trembling from the last orgasm Maddie had wrung out of her. But Maddie didn’t give her time to think. With a firm grip on Alyanna’s hips, she guided her onto the couch, positioning her above the bulge that strained against Maddie’s pants.
Alyanna’s legs quivered as she hovered above Maddie, her body still buzzing from the last orgasm that had left her weak and trembling. Maddie’s hands gripped her hips firmly, guiding her down onto the strap-on that strained against the fabric of her pants. Alyanna gasped as the tip pressed against her entrance, slick and ready but still tight enough to make her whimper. She could feel the rough texture of Maddie’s jeans brushing against her thighs, the contrast between the cool denim and the heat of her own skin sending shivers up her spine.
“Go on,” Maddie urged, her voice low and commanding. “Take it all.”
Alyanna bit her lip, her nails digging into Maddie’s shoulders as she lowered herself inch by excruciating inch. The stretch was overwhelming, the dildo filling her so completely that she could feel every ridge, every curve pressing against her walls. Her breath hitched, a high-pitched moan escaping her lips as she sank down fully, her body adjusting to the size.
“Ugh… oh god…” Alyanna whimpered, her head falling back as Maddie’s hands tightened on her hips, urging her to move. She rocked forward tentatively, the friction sending sparks through her core. The sound of skin slapping against denim filled the room, mingling with Alyanna’s increasingly desperate moans.
Maddie’s smirk widened as she watched Alyanna struggle to keep pace. “Look at you,” she purred, her voice dripping with approval. “Your pussy’s eating me up so well. So tight… I can feel every little squeeze.” Her hands slid up Alyanna’s sides, lifting her shirt to reveal her bouncing breasts. Maddie’s eyes darkened as she took in the sight, her fingers tracing the curve of Alyanna’s ribs before cupping one breast roughly.
“Ah! Maddie—” Alyanna’s cry broke off into a strangled gasp as Maddie pinched her nipple, rolling it between her fingers. Her hips stuttered, losing rhythm as pleasure shot through her like lightning.
“Don’t stop,” Maddie growled, her grip tightening on Alyanna’s waist. “Ride me harder. Show me how much you need this.”
Alyanna obeyed, her movements becoming more frantic as she rose and fell, each thrust driving the dildo deeper inside her. The sensations were unbearable, the pressure building in her core until she thought she might burst. Her moans grew louder, more guttural, echoing through the room as she chased the edge.
“Yes, just like that,” Maddie murmured, her voice thick with satisfaction. “You’re taking me so well, baby. Such a good girl for me.”
The praise sent a fresh wave of heat through Alyanna, her body clenching around Maddie as she teetered on the brink. The words alone were enough to push Alyanna over the edge. Her body stiffened, her back arching sharply as the orgasm ripped through her. A strangled cry tore from her throat, her hands gripping Maddie’s shoulders for dear life as wave after wave of ecstasy washed over her. She collapsed forward, her forehead resting against Maddie’s as she struggled to catch her breath.
Maddie chuckled, her fingers tracing lazy circles on Alyanna’s trembling thighs. “Four. Tangina ang sobrang ganda mo. I need you to cum for me again.”
“No—wait!” Alyanna protested, her voice cracking as Maddie shifted beneath her. Before she could process what was happening, Maddie was moving again, burying the dildo deep inside her again. This time, it hit a spot that made Alyanna’s vision blur, her entire body convulsing as an inhuman wail tore from her throat.
“No… no, Maddie, please!” Alyanna begged, her voice cracking as the pleasure bordered on unbearable. “It’s too much… I can’t…” Her cries turned desperate, her body still hypersensitive from the last orgasm.
“Tangina!” Alyanna screamed, her nails raking down Maddie’s back as the sensation overwhelmed her. Maddie didn’t let up, driving into her with relentless precision, each thrust hitting that same sweet spot again and again. Alyanna’s body jerked uncontrollably, her cries growing louder and more desperate with every movement.
Maddie leaned forward, capturing one of Alyanna’s nipples in her mouth, sucking hard as she continued to pound into her. “That’s it,” she growled around the sensitive bud, her teeth grazing it lightly. “Parinig pa ng ungol mo baby. Let me know how good it feels.”
Alyanna couldn’t form words, her mind blank except for the sheer intensity of the pleasure coursing through her. Her moans were raw, primal, each one ripped from her throat as Maddie pushed her closer and closer to the edge. And when she finally came, it was with a scream that echoed off the walls, her body clamping down around Maddie as waves of ecstasy crashed over her.
Maddie held her through it, her movements slowing but not stopping, prolonging Alyanna’s climax until she was a trembling, incoherent mess. Only then did she pull out, leaving Alyanna gasping and shaking, her body still twitching with aftershocks.
“Five,” Maddie whispered, her lips brushing against Alyanna’s ear. “You’re doing so good, baby. Just a few more to go.”
Alyanna barely had the strength to lift her head, her body limp and boneless as Maddie pushed her back onto the sofa. Maddie knelt between her legs, her hands spreading Alyanna’s thighs apart despite her feeble protests. Her touch was both gentle and commanding, her fingers ghosting over Alyanna’s sensitive flesh.
“Let’s try something different,” Maddie murmured, her breath hot against Alyanna’s skin. She leaned down, her tongue darting out to tease Alyanna’s clit. Maddie’s tongue pressed flat against Alyanna’s clit, teasing it with slow, deliberate circles. Alyanna’s hips jerked upward, a choked “Ah!” escaping her lips as Maddie’s warm breath fanned over her sensitive flesh. Maddie groaned deeply, the vibration rippling through Alyanna’s core and making her toes curl.
“Maddie… ah… ah…” Alyanna gasped, her hands tangling in Maddie’s hair, tugging lightly as she tried to steady herself. Maddie leaned back for a moment, her hot gaze locking onto Alyanna’s flushed face before dipping down to kiss the inside of her thighs. Her lips were soft but firm, pressing open-mouthed kisses along the tender skin that made Alyanna shiver.
With one hand, Maddie gently circled Alyanna’s stomach, the touch light and almost playful, trailing upward until her fingers brushed the underside of Alyanna’s breast, thumb grazing her nipple. Alyanna whimpered, her back arching as the dual sensations overwhelmed her.
Maddie returned to her clit, this time sliding her tongue inside Alyanna, lapping at her entrance with firm, rhythmic strokes. The heat of her mouth was almost unbearable, wet and hungry, and Alyanna’s thighs trembled as Maddie’s tongue explored deeper, brushing against her inner walls with precision.
“Ah! Ah! Ah!” Alyanna’s moans grew louder, more desperate, her hands clutching Maddie’s head now, holding her in place. Maddie’s groan vibrated against her clit, sending jolts of pleasure straight to her core. Maddie reached up, intertwining their fingers, squeezing tightly as her tongue flicked faster, harder.
Alyanna’s breathing turned ragged, her body tightening as the pressure built. When she came, it hit her like a tidal wave; her thighs clamped around Maddie’s head instinctively, hips jerking upward as she cried out, her voice hoarse and broken. Maddie didn’t let up, licking and sucking through Alyanna’s climax until her body shuddered uncontrollably, every nerve alight with sensation.
Still trembling, Alyanna loosened her grip on Maddie’s head, legs falling open as Maddie pulled back, a smug smile playing on her glistening lips. “Six,” Maddie whispered, her voice raw and husky. “Two more, Alyanna. Just two more, and you win.”
Alyanna could only whimper in response, her body still twitching from the aftershocks, her mind clouded with pleasure and exhaustion. But Maddie wasn’t finished. Reaching under the sofa, she pulled out a small black box, opening it to reveal a sleek vibrator. Alyanna’s eyes widened in disbelief, her battered mind struggling to keep up.
Maddie’s fingers curled around the sleek vibrator, her thumb flicking the power button with a soft *click*. The low hum filled the room, barely audible over Alyanna’s ragged breathing. Maddie tilted her head, her lips curling into a sly smile as she turned the device over in her hand like it was some kind of prize. “Found this last week,” she said, her voice casual, almost conversational, as if they weren’t both drenched in sweat and trembling from exertion. “Thought we could put it to good use.”
Alyanna’s eyes widened, her body instinctively recoiling as Maddie brought the vibrator closer. But there was nowhere to go—Maddie’s free hand pinned her thigh down, holding her in place with an iron grip. The first touch of the cool silicone against her clit made Alyanna gasp, her hips jerking involuntarily.
“Easy,” Maddie murmured, her tone dripping with mock sweetness. She tapped the head of the vibrator lightly against Alyanna’s clit, just enough to make her twitch. “You’re so sensitive right now, aren’t you? Every little touch makes you jump.”
Alyanna whimpered, her hands gripping the edge of the sofa as Maddie continued to tease her. Tap. Tap. Tap. Each contact sent a jolt through her oversensitive nerves, her body reacting before she could even process the sensation. Her legs trembled, threatening to close again, but Maddie’s hand kept them firmly apart.
“Let’s see what this thing can do,” Maddie said, her voice low and playful. She turned the dial up slightly, the vibrations intensifying just enough to make Alyanna’s breath hitch. Her hips lifted off the couch, chasing the sensation, but Maddie pulled the vibrator away, leaving her gasping for more.
“Not yet,” Maddie chided, tapping the vibrator against Alyanna’s clit again, slower this time. “You don’t get to decide when it happens. I do.”
Alyanna’s nails dug into the cushions, her back arching as Maddie alternated between gentle taps and short bursts of vibration. Up, then down. On, then off. It was maddening, the way Maddie played with her, drawing out every reaction, every shudder, every desperate moan.
“Please…” Alyanna begged, her voice breaking. “I can’t… it’s too much…”
“You know you can just tap my shoulders right”, Maddie said, while her focus entirely on the way Alyanna’s body responded to her every move. She pressed the vibrator harder against Alyanna’s clit, turning the intensity up another notch. Alyanna cried out, her thighs quivering as the vibrations rippled through her, sending sparks of pleasure shooting up her spine.
“Sarap,” Maddie purred, her free hand sliding down to cup Alyanna’s breast, her thumb brushing over her nipple. “Look at you, squirming like a little slut. You love this, don’t you?”
Alyanna shook her head, tears welling in her eyes, but her body betrayed her, rocking against the vibrator as if it had a mind of its own. Maddie chuckled, leaning down to whisper in her ear. “Liar.”
She slid a finger inside Alyanna, curling it just right, and Alyanna’s entire body tensed. The combination of the vibrations and Maddie’s skilled fingers was too much, pushing her over the edge once more. Her scream echoed through the room, raw and unrestrained, as she came hard, her body convulsing under Maddie’s relentless touch.
Maddie didn’t stop, not until Alyanna’s cries turned to whimpers, her body limp and spent.
“Seven,” Maddie announced, her grin widening. But she didn’t stop. She pushed the vibrator deeper, forcing Alyanna’s legs apart as she continued to play with her clit.
Alyanna’s hand shot out, slapping weakly against Maddie’s shoulder. “Enough! Please… I can’t…”
Maddie sighed, clicking off the vibrator and setting it aside. Her fingers lingered on Alyanna’s trembling thigh, tracing idle patterns as she leaned in closer, her breath warm against Alyanna’s ear. “You tapped out,” she murmured, her voice softer now, almost tender. “Maybe you didn’t want me to leave after all. Maybe… deep down, you wanted me to stay.”
Alyanna’s chest rose and fell unevenly, her body still twitching with aftershocks. She couldn’t find the words to respond, her mind foggy and her limbs heavy. Maddie’s hand moved up, brushing a strand of damp hair from Alyanna’s forehead. “Look at you,” she whispered, her tone dripping with something that sounded like admiration. “So beautiful, even when you’re completely wrecked.”
Her fingers trailed down Alyanna’s cheek, cupping her face gently. “I bet no one’s ever made you feel like this before, have they? No one’s ever taken care of you the way I just did.” Maddie’s lips brushed against Alyanna’s temple, her kisses feather-light, almost reverent. “You deserve this, you know. To be worshipped. To be adored.”
Alyanna’s eyelids fluttered, exhaustion pulling at her. Maddie noticed, her movements becoming more deliberate, more careful. She reached for Alyanna’s discarded shirt, draping it over her shoulders before adjusting her bra, covering her up with a gentleness that felt foreign after the intensity of what had just happened. “There,” Maddie said softly, smoothing the fabric. “Let’s get you comfortable.”
Without waiting for a response, Maddie slid her arms beneath Alyanna, lifting her effortlessly. Alyanna’s head lolled against Maddie’s shoulder, her body limp and pliant as Maddie carried her toward the bed. The soft shuffle of Maddie’s footsteps was the only sound in the quiet room, the air thick with the remnants of their shared heat.
Maddie laid Alyanna down on the bed, her hands lingering as she pulled the blanket up to cover her. She sat on the edge of the mattress, her gaze sweeping over Alyanna’s flushed face. “You’re perfect,” she whispered, leaning down to press a kiss to Alyanna’s forehead. “Absolutely perfect.”
Her lips moved to Alyanna’s cheeks, then the tip of her nose, each kiss light and fleeting. “I have to go,” Maddie murmured, her voice barely above a whisper. “But I’ll come back. I promise.” She paused, her eyes locking onto Alyanna’s, searching for something—acknowledgment, maybe, or permission. “After all, this is where I live now.”
Alyanna’s breath hitched, her tired eyes meeting Maddie’s. Before she could speak, Maddie leaned in again, her lips brushing against Alyanna’s ear. “I love you,” she whispered, the words so soft they were almost lost in the stillness of the room. Then she stood, her hand trailing over Alyanna’s arm one last time before she turned and walked away, leaving Alyanna alone in the quiet darkness.
