“Don’t turn it on yet, then.” Lily climbed onto the platform, wrapped her arms around Chase’s neck, and pressed against her. Thrusting a hand into Chase’s hair, she kissed her. The hunger she’d been holding back flooded through her. She tugged on Chase’s lip with her teeth and swept her tongue over the spot and into her mouth, tasting a hint of coffee, fresh mountain air, and the tangy heat that was all Chase. Everywhere their skin touched, her body came alive.

Chase hissed as everything inside her tightened, the coiled spring of need that accompanied her every waking moment around Lily ratcheted another turn. She swept her hands down Lily’s back and cupped her hips, returning the kiss that satisfied one need while stoking another. She could kiss her forever and never be finished. She would always want more. She tasted and teased her and drank her fill—and still ached for more.

Lily swayed against her and moaned softly, and Chase slipped one hand up to clasp her breast. When she rubbed her thumb over Lily’s nipple, Lily pushed her parted thighs against Chase’s leg.

“I can’t believe how hot you make me,” Lily gasped. “I need you to make me come right now.”

“Anything.” Chase tightened her grip around Lily’s waist and slid her hand down Lily’s stomach and between her thighs. Lily was ready for her, hot and open, and took Chase inside with a tilt of her hips and a whispered plea.

“Don’t tease.”

“Hold on, baby.” Chase stroked her, cupping her as she moved deeper each time, until Lily pressed hard into her palm, her body quaking. With a strangled cry Lily buried her face in Chase’s neck and sagged in her arms. Chase closed her eyes and struggled to memorize every single second.

“There’s a lot more to this mountain air than I ever knew,” Lily finally muttered against Chase’s throat.

“It’s a closely guarded secret.” Chase was pretty sure she didn’t need the mountain air, or any air at all, to sustain her as long as she could drown in Lily’s kisses. When Lily tilted her face to her, Chase kissed her again and muttered a protest when Lily pulled away. Struggling to contain the need that clawed at her deep inside for just one more moment, she said, “Ready for the shower?”

“I don’t want to waste water,” Lily said, “and I believe,” she added, pressing her palm low on Chase’s belly, “we might need to wait a bit longer.”

Lily found Chase’s clit and stroked. Chase dropped her head back against the wall and shivered. She hadn’t even realized she was right at the edge. All she’d known was Lily. “Shouldn’t take long.”

“Don’t hurry,” Lily whispered and kissed her throat.
