I got a text from Nine as soon as I was seated in my car.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAcbeTvECrJd
But I didn't open it—I purposely threw my phone in the passenger seat, ignoring her text as I started my car.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAyg3yRmmdiR
I didn't touch my phone once during the entire ride to my apartment.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAuUGwJLe1vT
And it severely fucked with me.
11Please respect copyright.PENANACgiLBK6QVF
Because I did want to know what she said.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAlykbuZY086
Even after how fucked everything went in her office.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAnPPtUa9aB5
I made myself wait until I had entered my apartment, quickly setting my keys down and unlocking my phone to read her text.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAzARFbglbfC
Doc: We're finishing this conversation over dinner. Be ready at 6.
11Please respect copyright.PENANARqVIoQcJLZ
I rolled my eyes at her text, noticing it was barely five-thirty so I still had time to cancel.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAwYhjuyGnwF
I started typing immediately, preparing my response to cancel.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAZs5amcrNZi
Me: can't. i don't feel well enough for dinner
Me: think i'm coming down with something.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA2DxW0XIkmG
I knew the obvious lie would piss her off more than actually discussing what just happened.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAStbSjoXQyG
But I didn't care—I just locked my phone and walked into my bedroom to get unready before I could change my mind.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA13P8jrBKle
I took my makeup off first, washing my face before I did my skincare.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAid7cE4hzQ9
Then I got changed out of my outfit and pulled on a baggy t-shirt with only underwear on underneath as usual.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAnp8H6DZFV5
I checked my phone as soon as I was done.
11Please respect copyright.PENANADVWPb3WK0f
But there was nothing.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA0zy1Jp38Mc
Not a single response from Nine.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAMIcAWUwry1
Not even a thumbs-up on my message.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAGAA7KmNTal
But I didn't care—I just went about my evening, searching through my fridge and cabinets for something to eat.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA2ulKDDSei4
All I had was cereal and frozen waffles—the rest was a bunch of ingredients, and I really didn't feel like following a recipe tonight.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAMiZtsRCu09
So I sat at my kitchen island, scrolling through DoorDash for something to eat.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAtOirkX6DUs
I was between Italian food and doing breakfast for dinner.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAaKrPKgY4x2
But at that point, I should do cereal or waffles if I wanted breakfast.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA9dmhdnL534
IHOP did sound good though.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAYVAhxPR8GW
I suddenly glanced up when I heard three sharp knocks at my front door, making my brows furrow slightly.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAVStC862XVj
A part of me wondered if it was Nine—but she's very literal with time.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAFY8t8DQ9NJ
She would've been here directly at six, and now it's almost seven.
11Please respect copyright.PENANABf1mWYw259
It's probably Kai dropping by.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAe8i9gBKLwC
I walked over to the door, standing on my tippy-toes to look through the peephole.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAj7lIqTktrl
Where she stood on the other side.
11Please respect copyright.PENANACyd3CjUMam
I guess I was wrong, she's not that literal with time.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAfF7VsyFmLQ
That doesn't mean I'm letting her in.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAai7aLNMJ5o
Right?
11Please respect copyright.PENANA6YXydkX3X7
I quickly nodded a few times to myself—right, right.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAXLlp7XvwLr
I shouldn't let her in.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAu8V5AV08oX
Even if the sight of her on the other side of my door made excited knots tie in my lower stomach.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAAqt8E8FArI
I drew in a deep breath when she knocked again, and that's when I realized I couldn't pretend to not be here.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAQKCmArK3g0
She has my location.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAMpmnCfIrB4
"I don't feel good" I suddenly called out through the door.
11Please respect copyright.PENANADyCqrMBX2r
"Open the door, River" she still had the nerve to say, making me roll my eyes as I tried to fight the urge of finding her attractive right now.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA9tBS2k8Bop
I'm not opening the door.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAn8MfJsNHJ9
I shouldn't.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA9KeKcj88P7
But she's also holding a bag—I wonder if she brought food.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAPMCT0vQE84
No-no, I can just order something or maybe have frozen waffles since DoorDash takes so long.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAcR4fXhVSIq
"River" she repeated herself, her tone firmer with me.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAGJZ3ZDPia7
I drew in a deep breath, tightly pursing my lips together when I unconsciously reached for the door handle.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAnmuOnm4DYO
It was like my thoughts were fighting my body, especially as I pulled down on the handle and opened the door for her.
11Please respect copyright.PENANATTM4NNORln
So much for not letting her in.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAFo89q4wHar
"What?" I said, my tone short with her as her brown eyes met mine.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAqwOu9Cep2L
She walked past me into my apartment before I could process it, her sweet scent lingering around me as I closed the front door.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAAYrYgqJFwD
"I didn't say you could come in" I sarcastically said, watching as she walked over to my small dining room table, setting the bag down and turning to me.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAPVIkipSXFB
"Come here" Nine calmly said, disregarding my words entirely.
11Please respect copyright.PENANATrZGfDIaxP
I clenched my jaw as I held her stare, remaining still in place for a moment as I tried to pretend the two simple words didn't affect me.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA5otrhIGlQj
But they did.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAwF71bjR3em
They fucking did.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAwlWvgB7xMe
I hesitantly took a step forward when she raised a brow, sighing dramatically when I inevitably walked over to her.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAyc7CGIbnGH
"I'm mad at you" I said simply even if I knew she could read between the fucking lines.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAUQ2WbnqhbG
"That's what I'm here to discuss with you, River" she murmured as I curiously opened the bag on the table.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAzhDDRPOI8M
"What is this?" I asked, pulling out one of the clear containers fogged with steam.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA2HYiiiTrzc
"Soup" Nine said, and that's when I felt her presence verge closer to me, "You said you didn't feel well."
11Please respect copyright.PENANA0ueKmaEkh7
I lazily raised my brows, "I lied" I mumbled, setting the container down.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAG1Mlu5Gbrl
"I know" she calmly said, now standing behind me.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAbZVNXfcrl2
I drew in a measured breath when I felt her hands grip my waist—or the warmth of her breath against my ear as she leaned in closer to me.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAEMCIQttupf
"Nine" I said, feeling my face burn at her sudden actions, "I'm mad at you" I reminded her.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAUTW8Dadi5I
Or maybe I was reminding myself.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAgP40i3c0vI
"I wanted the best for you" she whispered so softly, giving my waist a gentle squeeze, "It wasn't something I thought twice about, River. I wanted you to see the best doctor in the area."
11Please respect copyright.PENANAEWX3kocVMw
I shook my head slightly, "You apparently wanted all of them to see the best doctor too" I pointed out, briefly closing my eyes when I felt the softness of her lips against the shell of my ear.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAJKDQ3WLYQt
"I can't change my past, River. And I won't fight the urge to give you best" Nine said, her voice lowered in my ear, "But I'm sorry, sweetie. I should've informed you first."
11Please respect copyright.PENANA7FH3P95aS4
I let out a deep sigh, especially when she pressed her lips just below my ear—making shivers run down my spine.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAlA7tdeD1ax
It was the first time her lips had kissed my body.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAM4qDVnWoIS
"You should've" I whispered, my voice breathless as I pressed my hands against the cold table in front of me for stability.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAGj3SARnu4b
Especially when Nine drew in a deep breath, openly smelling me.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAeUdyabZUfV
"You smell really good, River" she whispered so softly, "Is this new?" she asked, pressing another kiss to my skin.
11Please respect copyright.PENANADWfrMSqLhA
Only this one was pressed to my neck.
11Please respect copyright.PENANALtY1ooFHoC
I drew in a deep breath at the fact that she noticed my newest fragrance oil.
11Please respect copyright.PENANADfI4b4Pnf0
But that doesn't matter right now.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAlQio55lP7I
Or I'm trying to tell myself it doesn't.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAqCEwHFl3V2
"You should've told me, Nine" I said, disregarding her question as I tried to lean away from her.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAYEjSrTWp8l
Her grip around my waist tightened in response, but not enough to prevent me from pulling away.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAPgoih7z68Z
It was a silent test.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAClcs2mJ427
Like I could step away if I wanted to.
11Please respect copyright.PENANABAIU9LoVfT
But I didn't want to.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAqcXVQFnYqs
Fuck.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAgRIbJwmsie
I don't even know why I'm mad—it's all in the past.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAgmi4Qkxr3s
And I knew she had arrangments before me.
11Please respect copyright.PENANALk1eb7WFCF
I just wish she didn't take me where they all had been.
11Please respect copyright.PENANADodFV7Q0dn
It made me feel... like the rest.
11Please respect copyright.PENANApEV7sBGswr
She said this wasn't just a hookup situation, so I'm confused.
11Please respect copyright.PENANArYKFe2lFfA
"I sincerely wanted the best for you, River" Nine suddenly said, now grazing her lips against my neck as she inhaled again, "But it won't happen again."
11Please respect copyright.PENANAJwgyHxnSWV
"It won't?" I whispered, gripping the table underneath my hands.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAp1sqppjCmc
I didn't expect her to give in so easily.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAaNHdoHaYoN
If anything, I expected to be punished for walking out like that.
11Please respect copyright.PENANASn8K2CagO5
Nine hummed, the sound soft in her throat, "I'll find another doctor for you" she assured me, running her hands down from my waist, "But they won't be the best accredited in Seattle."
11Please respect copyright.PENANAEgMoW91d9f
I let out a deep sigh, feeling conflicted by her offer, "I don't know" I breathed out as her touch trailed down to my thighs, "Maybe I'll just stay" I determined, suddenly feeling like it wasn't that big of a deal.
11Please respect copyright.PENANANhiR1zseE5
But I couldn't tell if that was her words... her touch... if it was affecting me.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAHFLUFHtD2W
Then again, I hadn't told her about Kai, so it felt like we had both lied.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAKGNxNU7HYf
Mine was just... a little worse maybe?
11Please respect copyright.PENANAKpv6ig9oys
Kai's still in my life, portrayed to Nine as only a friend.
11Please respect copyright.PENANALDeWfNadJL
"No, I'll take care of it" Nine assured me, luckily not listening to my words in the heat of this very tense moment. I really don't want to go back to that doctor, "You're not comfortable with it, and that's all that matters."
I felt a warmth burn around me at her words,
"Really?" I whispered, taking her words more personally than I should've.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAa1sFbKCON8
She prioritized me so quickly... so easily.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAj33YoSAV1g
"Really" Nine said, trailing her hand under my baggy t-shirt, "I only ask that you allow us to have a real conversation before making your mind up."
11Please respect copyright.PENANA8NpfNk35zh
I nodded a few times in a row, "Yes, of course" I murmured, my lips parting with a soft gasp when I felt the softness of her touch against my covered clit.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAJbTG3vCNq1
"Don't ever walk out against my word again" she said, her voice firmer in my ear as she teased me through my underwear.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA3VDbxuS5Wn
I nodded rapidly, "Okay, I won't" I quickly whispered, determining that I probably shouldn't have walked out on her like that.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAP4Zt30UofB
I won't do it again.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAj2feQ0iFSD
"Good girl" she calmly said, her praise making my body burn as I arched into her touch.
11Please respect copyright.PENANALt4kWdI1u5
My breathing grew unsteady, especially when she pressed her lips to my neck yet again.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAAkybDMhL7F
"I want you, River."
11Please respect copyright.PENANApo2t1Uk4xn
Her words were lowered between us, tracing my clit through my thin underwear.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAXab8Fuqvt7
"Take me please" I whispered breathlessly.
11Please respect copyright.PENANApNLdpG6BnS
Her touch drew away from my core, "Very pretty manners, River" she complimented, making knots grow in my lower stomach as she impatiently pushed the bag in front of us off the table—And spilled the soup across the floor.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAzfOgj0iuNJ
Then she bent me over the cold table, reaching down to slide my underwear to the side and—A moan burned in my throat as soon as she began rubbing my clit, tracing it with her fingers.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA07tx32UDZC
Her other hand held the back of my neck, applying more pressure to my clit as I gripped the table underneath me with a deeper moan.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAw5htr4BTuU
"You're very wet, River" she murmured, now quickening her pace as I whined at how sensitive I still felt.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA6dKov9i10K
"Nine.." I whimpered, squirming underneath her as she pressed into me deeper.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAtnIgIoQzYq
"Tell me what you want" she calmly instructed as my breathing grew more rapid, trying to squeeze my legs closed.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAUGJYMcweJq
She used her foot to separate my legs further away from the other, exposing me even more to her touch.
11Please respect copyright.PENANABTmaeTv8Mn
"More.." I tried my best to say between moans, squirming underneath her as my clit ached unbearably.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA54kPUm4Mze
She slid two fingers past my folds at my words, making a whimper burn in my throat as I gripped the table even more.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAaEx42Xgkfy
I felt so warm around her—I could even feel how wet I was.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAiDcKvydYiR
"You're taking it perfectly, River" she murmured, making another moan echo from my lips—inhaling a series of breaths.
11Please respect copyright.PENANATAzEAfkCG6
Especially when I felt her fingers spread inside of me, deepening her strokes as I moaned and whimpered underneath her.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAw0GGnVg0as
I shot up toward my peak before I could process it, squeezing my eyes tighter when everything burned around me.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAslcRtJq2XS
"Right there" I forced out when she curled into me, her grip tightening on my neck.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAHchUT92wUB
I felt myself tighten around her fingers, engulfing them as she continued her deep and quick pace against my spot.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAoacncw1JkK
Until finally—
11Please respect copyright.PENANAADK3csyp5G
"Nine, don't stop.."
11Please respect copyright.PENANA5aaQYVmWiy
She went faster in response, making more whines and moans burn in my throat—trembling under her entirely.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAFfWWJ0vB6H
"Perfect, River."
11Please respect copyright.PENANAD1ExA99yd0
Her words echoed around me as I drew in rapid breaths, my orgasm washing over me as I released onto her fingers.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZEtzNjXhr
I could feel the wetness between my thighs, riding out my orgasm as she continued a steady pace.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA8tjFGjiAlf
And instead of pushing me directly into a second or third orgasm, she slowly slid out of me instead.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAKIbuRMokoy
I remained still for a long moment, a shiver rolling down my spine as I moved my legs slightly.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAx3iS13rz52
Nine gently let go of my neck as I pressed myself away from the table, rising back to my full height.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7HxQtMffU
That's when I glanced over at the floor, noticing the mess caused in the heat of the moment.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAh7703tfTmU
"I guess we aren't having soup" I whispered, noticing the spilled containers of soup on the floor.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAQwhAuIEHfw
But I couldn't care less—I'm not actually sick so soup wasn't what I wanted for dinner.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAatZ6qDF7hq
Not after looking at pasta.
11Please respect copyright.PENANATsj2bjQGwo
"I'll order something else" Nine determined, walking over to the sink to wash her hands.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAuKWtgRuOs6
"Pasta?" I asked her with a small smile growing on my lips.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAujhP54vOnF
"Do you want pasta?" she asked me, her brown eyes meeting mine as she washed her hands.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAo6DneYC538
I nodded immediately, "Rigatoni sounds perfect right now" I said as she tore off numerous paper towels.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAKKUZR4Kyu4
"Grab my phone" Nine instructed, walking over to the spilled soup and leaning down to lay the paper towels over the mess.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA0Zux9DFyTR
I walked over to the table where I noticed her phone sat with her keys—along with a small cardboard box.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAbO5gyJH2we
"What's in that box?" I curiously asked, walking back over to her and handing her the phone.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA7IZnL1eMG7
"You'll see" she casually murmured, immediately piquing my interest.
11Please respect copyright.PENANALCgbACZyO6
"I will?" I asked with a small smile, watching as she focused her attention on her phone.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAmJbbOdJWSw
"Yes, River" she said, her lips twitching up as she glanced up from her phone to meet my stare, "Now grab me the usual cleaning products you use."
11Please respect copyright.PENANAq1pLeJmdTm
I immediately nodded, "Yeah, I'll clean this up while you order the food" I determined, walking over to the closet by the kitchen.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAHWaRvI9njE
"No, I'll take care of this" Nine determined as I grabbed the Swiffer mop to help clean the mess up quickly, "You pick out what you want and order it."
11Please respect copyright.PENANAs2H8sV1V0s
I nodded, pursing my lips to fight my annoying smile as I handed her the Swiffer and took her phone in exchange.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAdnMebnKpKe
As she handled cleaning up the mess and picking up the trash, I worked on putting the order together.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAQiNhStrHOm
She wanted me to order her Cacio e Pepe—something I had never fucking heard of, but I made sure to find it on the online menu and add it to the order.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAv83y6mxwEB
Her card details were already provided in DoorDash so all I had to do was place the order.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAQ23c6tIqCj
Then I focused on helping her with whatever was left of the mess before heading to the bathroom and cleaning up the mess she had made of me.
11Please respect copyright.PENANARioidYPDQG
By the time I came out, Nine was seated at my dining room table which I probably hadn't used more than a handful of times.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA423o1kDCOD
Her sleeves were rolled up to her elbows, her heels off, and her long hair now up in a messy bun with her bangs framing her face.
11Please respect copyright.PENANASDEcJduWFi
Although, a messy bun on her still managed to look as neat as ever.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA4fdRELJ6Dh
I pursed my lips into a small smile as I approached her, noticing the bottled water she took the initiative of getting us.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAFnqyVQonQN
"Come here" she said, glancing away from her phone as I halted by the chair beside her.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAGRyP9OXj84
"I am here" I said with a raised brow.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA2hIwpi7CFB
"Here" Nine emphasized, motioning me closer.
11Please respect copyright.PENANACFSwqV0yOo
It made my face burn up, unconsciously taking a few steps closer to her as she reached out to grab my waist.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA0y8AE5ma3H
The heat around me grew when she guided me to sit down on her lap, running her arm around my waist.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAkqwRPpXzAN
She reached her other hand up, gently caressing the stray curls away from my face.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAsh01RU9Zga
"My beautiful girl" she murmured, now grazing the back of her hand against my cheek.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAl8SXZdDUpc
Her words made my face grow warmer as I relaxed under her touch—leaning my side further into the front of her body with my legs hanging off her lap.
11Please respect copyright.PENANATmPaJiQIvv
"How do you feel now?" she asked me, her brown eyes trailing my face, "Are you content?" she added, referring to the earlier situation.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAicemuM7FQL
I nodded immediately, "Very content" I didn't hesitate to say, glancing between her eyes.
11Please respect copyright.PENANATbvbsQU7x2
"Good" she whispered, running her hand down from my cheek to briefly squeeze the side of my neck, "I have something for you."
11Please respect copyright.PENANA2Ay87lirvL
A smile curled on my lips, "Like a gift?" I asked her, glancing over to the small black cardboard box.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAobs4okSlkH
"You could say" Nine murmured, lowering her hand from my neck to grab the small box, "Here."
11Please respect copyright.PENANACYr4UUmwGP
I immediately took the box from her extended hand, carefully lifting the flap and opening the lid.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAe5oRcWEA9B
The black Amex card glistened under the dim lighting, the sight of it making me almost speechless.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAg7gREk03ex
I felt entirely caught off guard, contemplating if she meant to give this to me.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAVBvFO8iBQX
"You only use this card from here on out" Nine said when I remained speechlessly silent, "There's no limit on it."
11Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ht3lKb3oY
I blinked a few times, suddenly wondering if this was because of the shopping trip I mentioned today.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAU8ixcehgb2
If she thought about it deeper than me.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAWjECCZUphT
I unconsciously shook my head, "I can't take this" I whispered, glancing over to her.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAokovsM8cU5
"Yes, you can" she calmly said, briefly squeezing my waist, "That's what this comes with, princess."
11Please respect copyright.PENANAcQpatrj6AW
I blinked a few times, "But-but..." I trailed off, glancing back to the card.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAUzI2bJySAY
"You won't depend on her anymore" Nine said, her voice softened between us.
11Please respect copyright.PENANACfeIjYcMjX
And I knew the she, that Nine was referring to.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAYRO0g0cYUv
My mother.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAruUZ8EL250
"I'll take care of everything, River. I mean that" she softly whispered, caressing my covered waist as I tried to process this.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAptK5zPQeNU
Her gesture... her words, they made my chest grow tight.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAxEpwiqonOy
And before I knew it, my eyes grew heavy with annoying tears—dropping the box in my lap to hug her.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAM5ULsT8qeo
I sniffled as I buried my face in her chest, wrapping my arms around her torso.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAdwWcqZckbu
Nine's grip around my waist tightened, reaching up to caress her other hand against my covered back.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAlyiiS0HybZ
It was enough security to make more tears burn in my closed eyes, squeezing her closer to me.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAVroiBCnEO8
"My sweet girl" she whispered when the tears escaped my eyes and dampened her blouse, drawing in deep breaths, "I didn't want to make you upset."
11Please respect copyright.PENANAC2odO4hWHC
I sniffled, more tears weighing down my eyes, "No...no, I" I paused, the tightness in my throat making it hard to form any words, "No one's ever done this for me before."
11Please respect copyright.PENANAtxRc1yhpVg
I didn't want to be crying over something so small.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAQeWDeo5G9l
But this meant more than she could've imagined
"Shhh.." she softly soothed me when my crying worsened, caressing her hand up my back,
"Everything is okay, River."
11Please respect copyright.PENANATYm4OKj9Bj
I nodded a few times at her words, pulling away from her chest with teary eyes and flushed cheeks.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAnCs7Y60XmT
Nine pursed her lips as she stared down at me, reaching up to gently cup my cheek and wipe any stray tears away.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAFo0eJAnbe3
"You deserve this" she said, her tone lowered between us and her stare not wavering from mine,
"Repeat it back to me."
11Please respect copyright.PENANAKVV2oyZ5xr
I sniffled, staring up into her eyes, "I deserve this" I whispered, letting out a deep breath as she wiped more of my tears away.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAgyFpjijfOB
"You do" she calmly said, her eyes trailing my face for a moment, "Did you want to show me what you got today?"
11Please respect copyright.PENANA3B7iHFWibs
A smile slowly grew on my lips, sniffling again, "You want to see?" I asked her.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA520EVe3lnb
Nine's lips twitched up slightly, "Of course" she didn't hesitate to say, wiping the rest of my stray tears away.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAgZ4h8Bli0y
"Okay, but it has to be like a fashion show" I told her in a soft murmur, "Like I come out and you judge the look."
11Please respect copyright.PENANA6Q5yy3fYp3
Nine pursed her lips when her subtle smile grew,
"I'm very biased" she said, tucking a stray curl behind my ear and making my smile grow even more, "But I'll be your judge."
11Please respect copyright.PENANAYtLS6AyOzE
I hummed happily, picking the box up from my lap,
"I'll be right back then" I said as I stood from her lap, "Stay right here."
11Please respect copyright.PENANAC20RV1QA5d
"Anything you say" Nine murmured, clasping her hands together in her lap as I ran off to my room.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAKnIeeTVt5a
Excitement coursed through my body as I stripped out of the t-shirt I wore, pulling on one of the outfits I picked out today.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAu3IsD35gHD
It was a dark red ruffle halter top with matching flare pants.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAQOm4Br7Fc5
The top emphasized my chest and cleavage, the red contrasting perfectly against my tanned skin.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAKdMDxkI8td
It also tied around my waist, emphasizing the curves of my body.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAPRRKokwTwq
My nerves managed to grow as I exited my closet, unconsciously smiling to myself.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA1d2fXUGaq7
"Oh ten immediately" Nine said as soon as I walked out of my room, giving her a small twirl,
"Bonus points for presentation."
11Please respect copyright.PENANANL5aLhF7BQ
I smiled as I approached her, "You're totally biased" I said, stopping in front of her.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA3G7KHleERg
Nine reached for my waist, pulling me closer, "I tried to warn you" she said, running her hands up the sides of my waist as she openly took in the outfit.
11Please respect copyright.PENANASigVh9f2dG
"Ten is your final answer?" I asked, trying to ignore the heat around me that her actions caused.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAS3ZWD8Jdpf
"I would like to give it more" Nine said, subtly lifting the bottom of my shirt and running her delicate fingers across my belly button piercing, "Very attractive" she murmured.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAm9xOZTcJKB
My smile grew, "Focus" I whispered, guiding her hand away from my stomach.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAotgEP1VIru
"I'm very focused, River" she assured me, nodding a few times even if her stare continued trailing my body.
11Please respect copyright.PENANApkSBAMRHqg
"I meant up here" I said with an amused laugh.
11Please respect copyright.PENANADfQf4Txpr8
Nine glanced up immediately, but only to stare at my exposed chest, "Up here?" she subtly asked, trailing her hands up my stomach.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAuKj1ujcOmM
"My eyes" I clarified, jokingly putting a hand on my hip.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAH4uT8plVu7
Nine immediately grabbed my hand from my hip, glancing up to meet my stare as I stood over her.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAaTxiz7KEVY
"You're very dangerous in this outfit, River" she said, pulling me closer to her by my hand.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAr1akZwEdhh
"Dangerous?" I emphasized, feeling my face burn at her words.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA1e6YPCb6y0
She nodded, guiding me down to straddle her lap.
11Please respect copyright.PENANATU7xtvrZAd
"Nine" I whispered, smiling wider as she gripped me closer by my hips, "I need to finish the show."
11Please respect copyright.PENANABazRDpiv33
She only hummed, "I should finish you first" she said, pressing her lips to my neck as she grabbed my chin and tilted my head further back.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAt7fnWZJYnn
"Nine.." I whined, hating that she had managed to turn me on so easily.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAbBssYdEuin
And only one outfit into this fake fashion show.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAUs7JpMMGtJ
We'll probably never finish this show now.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAOM1ZAS4jSB
"Okay then" she said, pulling away to meet my stare, "Get off my lap before I take this off of you, River."
11Please respect copyright.PENANAlEkbrreNM4
Her words made my face grow hotter, unconsciously remaining still on her lap.
11Please respect copyright.PENANARCg0EnJzet
Maybe I wanted her to take it off of me.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAXJkCRjzw8W
Nine raised a brow at my obvious actions, "Very bad, River." she said, making me feel weirdly embarrassed as she reached for the string holding my top together.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAmLFbdNGbFR
Only to gently tug it loose.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAIVzPTLkg4f
I drew in a deep breath when the top unraveled, allowing her to slide it off of my body entirely.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAADQkIBguy5
Her brown eyes shifted down from mine, trailing across my bare chest as she threw my top aside.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAS4ginwUWjd
"Beautiful girl" she calmly said, making tingles shoot down my spine.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAAzcY88uq2X
I reached for her shoulders, growing breathless when her hands pressed against my bare stomach, roaming up to grip my breasts in her soft hands.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAuAaNf8t4D5
My nails dug into her covered shoulders when her thumbs ran over my nipples, hardened purely for her, making me shift against her lap.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAlv5U0NcJJo
I don't understand how I'm this turned on after she had me bent over the table less than twenty minutes ago.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAolXvyGXraC
"Let me play with you, River" she murmured, swirling her fingers around my hardened nipples.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAUUE0kyMEsn
"Play with me?" I whispered breathlessly, unsure what she meant by that.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA8PQsviAacA
Nine glanced up from my chest to meet my stare, "Sit still and let me play with you as I please" she clarified better for me.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA9CMohmoIz9
I blinked a few times, feeling my face burn up as I unconsciously nodded, "Okay" I whispered, giving in to her entirely.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA81yxHTCJoz
"Good girl" she calmly murmured, focusing her attention back on my chest.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAS5dr0WgoZQ
And just as she claimed, she quite literally played with me.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA47U73FpWk7
No matter how much I squirmed or how loudly I moaned, her attention remained on my chest, flicking and rubbing my nipples as she watched me struggle underneath her.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAK3esEUIEJr
She liked it.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA8eqtCMJmY8
Even beyond her calm demeanor, I could see the tick behind her eyes.
11Please respect copyright.PENANACIre0ir39h
Or behind her actions—purposely flicking my nipples faster when she noticed how much it made me shift and squirm against her.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAaQzLopv6yq
Eventually, it grew unbearable, but I wanted to be good for her—I wanted to give her what she wanted.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAZCFa9tz6HO
So I remained still, feeling almost degraded by her actions or words.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAGxwVw5IS9r
How she would tell me how good I'm being for her.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA07rWI0fhRM
Or that she could feel how wet I was through the pants I wore.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAU67Qte4mnn
My legs were spread wide around her, moaning and whimpering under her touch as I waited for the moment her hands would trail lower.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAONxPDvSbLb
It took countless minutes for her to finally grow satisfied, trailing her hand down past my pants and underwear to touch my clit.
11Please respect copyright.PENANACpxGWG01Z4
I was so fucking sensitive, that I was already ready for her—ready for my orgasm.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAiXzql9g7go
It was the most intense experience... within seconds Nine had me at my peak for a second time tonight.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAd6wBeFogve
My moans were louder, my body burning hotter than ever as she held my hips in place against her fingers that played with my clit.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAZPBJJz5UuX
My breathing was rampant, leaning into her entirely as I basked in my second orgasm.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAnxVyB5LPKI
I hugged her for seconds on end, even after I came down from my peak, processing the tingles roaming through my body.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAznA6Poc81l
She didn't rush me to pull away or stand up, holding me just as close as she caressed her hand up and down my bare back.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA6GgNGdgGI2
But eventually, I stood up on my loose legs to get off her lap, wanting to finish the fake fashion show for her.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAcodUhuKkDO
Nine reached down to grab my top, handing it to me as I headed back into my room to change into my next outfit.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAOzcZbACs2X
First I had to clean myself up yet again—then I got dressed in denim jeans that I specifically bought because my ass looked so good in them.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAODCJ2mMp1U
I also bought a Dior baby tee to pair with them.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAXYjSNjbVms
"Ten!" Nine immediately said when I walked out.
11Please respect copyright.PENANATmsZsjLM1f
This time I made sure to purposely keep my distance.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAFJ91KFJS8M
I don't think I could handle a third round with her right now.
11Please respect copyright.PENANARE4j5sM0h2
"Although, I can't tell if it's a full ten with how far away you are" she subtly said, making an amused laugh fall from my lips.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAaAHec4CTJX
"This is as close as I'm getting" I determined, giving her a small twirl, "Do we like it?"
11Please respect copyright.PENANAz8PFXJ4dRX
Nine nodded immediately, "We do" she didn't hesitate to say.
11Please respect copyright.PENANADPU4Yd2vpr
A happy smile formed on my lips at her words, walking back into my room to change into my next outfit.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA5piWJNvxvC
There were only two more left, so this fashion show would be a little shorter.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAdyoC3mF8Sj
But luckily, our food got delivered while I was in the middle of putting on my last outfit.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA23NcRbPMcW
I barely showed it to her for more than ten seconds, given I wanted to change and eat my pasta.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAL2dQrAYPvd
It felt nice pulling my baggy t-shirt back on-walking out of my room toward the dining table.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAKjbD1hT8cN
She already had my food waiting for me with my water open and ready to drink.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA28MtIkosal
"Thank you" I said as I sat down beside her.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAovwNPhwTxK
"You're welcome" she calmly said, taking a brief sip of her water as I picked up my fork to eat.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAfkkWiACNUh
The rigatoni was perfect—nearly melting in my mouth as I hummed contently.
11Please respect copyright.PENANALpkXldmm1Z
I couldn't help but glance over to Nine when she grabbed her fork, twirling it in the pasta against the spoon she held.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAE1abp5LUc4
As I chewed my food, I unconsciously watched her take the first bite of hers, wondering what her pasta tasted like.
11Please respect copyright.PENANARfOe4EZaZx
Cacio e Pepe.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA3ayi59dSYH
I've determined I would definitely try it so I can understand her better.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAEvpjJvq5qO
"Here, River" she said, sliding her bowl closer to me.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAJHwO4K13kS
I shook my head, "You don't have to" I said, realizing I was probably staring at her to a point where it made her feel obligated to share.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAxrh37bTFCf
"I know" Nine stated, sliding the bowl closer, "Take a bite."
11Please respect copyright.PENANAiKFZdQPFBy
I glanced away from the bowl to her, causing Nine to motion her head at me, silently telling me to take a bite.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAXnZZQIYrJw
I pursed my lips, transferring my fork from the Rigatoni pasta I had to her bowl to try a bite.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAxX6hcHwoZi
She instinctively held her spoon against my fork as I twirled the pasta just as she previously did.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAULkosVFmz3
Then I leaned over the bowl, taking the bite she helped me prepare.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAeAFIF3ZPbK
The pasta tasted cheesy and creamy, the hint of seasoning making my mouth water for more.
11Please respect copyright.PENANApXxjPSAhKC
"That's so good" I said, chewing a few more times.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAoteQXn9rbe
Nine reached her fork over to my bowl, "It's my usual" she determined, poking her fork into the rigatoni noodles before taking a bite.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAGHJxr1Rzrx
And I swear it could've been anyone else trying to eat my food and I would've been irritated.
11Please respect copyright.PENANABcbW1QkkPj
But with her, it weirdly made me smile.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAp7ejFsaEx7
She thought whatever food I had was worth trying and that makes me smile, I don't know.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAPjPZBDIA7T
"Do you like it?" I asked as she swallowed, unconsciously watching her throat move.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAyRXU3bMEWr
"Yes" she said, glancing over to meet my stare, "It's really good, River."
11Please respect copyright.PENANA2mtGChwjTC
I hummed at her words, smiling wider as I took another bite of my pasta.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAk49NO6EtvP
This was totally better than toaster waffles.
