The Next Morning
Lily woke abruptly, blinking against the soft dawn light filtering through the curtains. The room was quiet, the world still caught in the hush between night and day. She turned her head and there she was.
Anna.
Her long dark hair was a tangle on the pillow, one arm draped lazily across the sheets. A faint snore escaped her lips, soft and rhythmic. Her face, flushed and peaceful, wore none of the tension Lily had seen so often during their weekend lunches or movie nights. She looked… safe. Unburdened. Completely unguarded.
Lily’s heart lurched unexpectedly, a bittersweet pain rising in her chest.
She remembered the first time they met—two awkward middle schoolers sharing a table in art class. By high school, they were inseparable; giggling over dumb jokes, finishing each other’s sentences, studying until they passed out in piles of textbooks and snacks. In college, they'd shared a cramped dorm room, then a tiny off-campus apartment. Roommates. Teammates. Volleyball champions. Late-night talkers.
Every day back then had started and ended with Anna.
But now, three years post-graduation, they saw each other only on weekends. A standing brunch. A summer girls' trip. The occasional spontaneous movie marathon. Always fun, always full of warmth, but never quite enough.
Because those small slivers of time, as precious as they were, paled in comparison to what they used to have. Lily felt the ache of regret over what might have been if she’d just had the courage to speak up.
Lily reached out but stopped short of touching her.
She was terrified—of losing this, of pushing too far. But she was also filled with a hope she hadn’t dared let herself feel in years. Maybe, just maybe, this could be more than a night. More than a memory.
Her eyes drifted over Anna again. A smile tugged at her lips.
And then an idea. One she thought Anna would love.
Lily slipped silently from the bed, grabbing her clothes from the night before tiptoeing toward the door.
Anna stirred slowly, her body still warm from the afterglow of the night before. She reached across the bed, fingers seeking out the comforting presence of Lily - but found only empty sheets. Her brow furrowed in sleepy confusion. For a brief, panicked moment, she wondered if it had all been a dream.
Then she caught the scent; rich, savory, unmistakable.
Bacon.
She smiled, stretching languidly as memories of the previous evening washed over her. Sitting up, she swung her legs over the side of the bed and reached into the nearby dresser for a pair of soft, flannel pajamas. They were mismatched and faded from too many washings - hardly flattering, but they were familiar and comfortable.
She padded down the hallway, bare feet whispering against the hardwood floor, following the aroma into the kitchen.
Lily stood at the stove, wearing the black lace lingerie that still brought a blush to Anna’s face. Lily’s back was to the door, the curve of her body silhouetted in the morning light filtering in through the window. Anna paused in the doorway, suddenly self-conscious. Compared to Lily - graceful, glowing, radiant - she felt frumpy and plain.
But the moment Lily turned and saw her, her entire face lit up.
"Good morning, beautiful," Lily said, her voice radiating warmth.
Putting the spatula aside, she crossed the kitchen in two quick strides. Before Anna could say a word, Lily pushed her firmly against the wall, capturing her arms by the wrists and pinning them above her head. Lily's body molded to hers, the lace of her lingerie cool against Anna's flannel.
Anna squeaked in surprise, but her breath caught for a different reason - Lily’s body felt electric against hers, firm but soft all at once.
"God, you’re adorable," Lily whispered.
Then she kissed her - deep, warm, and slow. A kiss that said everything.
Anna melted into it, the awkwardness slipping away. The soft cotton of her pajamas, the lace on Lily’s skin, the scent of breakfast in the air—it all blended into one perfect moment.
Lily released her, hands slipping down to Anna's waist. "Enough of that or we'll never get you fed! I hope you don’t mind my rooting through your kitchen."
Anna leaned her head against Lily's shoulder, smiling as she finally looked past her and noticed the skillet. "Are those… chocolate chip pancakes?"
Lily grinned without turning. "With bacon. Your favorite, right?"
Anna blinked in surprise. "How did you know that? I don’t think I’ve ever told you."
Lily looked back at her with a playful smirk. "When you've had a crush on someone since eighth grade, you notice things."
Anna’s heart gave a little flip. She stared, her pulse quickening. All this time? How had she not seen it? How much had she missed - how much had Lily held back?
"You never said a word!" she exclaimed.
"You’re not the only person who’s afraid of sharing too much and ruining things," Lily replied with a wry smile.
They sat down to breakfast together, and Anna eagerly dug in. The chocolate chip pancakes and crispy bacon were exactly how she liked them.
Lily smiled over her coffee. "I didn’t even know if you were open to a relationship with another girl until our Vegas trip last June."
Anna looked up, curious. "Really?"
Lily nodded, amused. "You wouldn’t stop flirting with that ‘sexy cop’ on the Strip. Totally ignored her beefcake partner,” Lily said with a chuckle. “When you leaned on her and said, ‘I’ve been bad, do you want to cuff me?’ I thought you'd completely lost it.”
Lily snorted with laughter and raised her mug in a toast. "Thank god for tequila."
And when you left your Kindle out? Yeah… I saw The Princess’s Pet series front and center."
Anna choked slightly on a bite of pancake. "Oh my god. You saw that?" She groaned and covered her eyes with one hand.
"Yup," Lily said with a teasing grin. "If I’d known you had a taste for smutty lesbian vampire bondage, I might’ve made a move way sooner."
Then, softening, she reached out to touch Anna’s hand. "But seriously… that gave me the courage to give you your birthday present. I remember watching you unwrap it and wondering if I’d made a terrible mistake, but the look on your face gave me hope. That maybe you wanted more too."
Anna smiled. "I’m so glad you did."
Anna twirled a piece of pancake on her fork, then looked up, her expression mock serious. "But now we’ve got a problem."
Lily raised an eyebrow. "Oh?"
"Yeah. I had the most mind-blowing night of my life, and it doesn’t seem fair that I got to have all the fun." Anna leaned forward just a little, her tone flirty but sincere. "It’s not my birthday anymore… so, what can I do for you?"
Lily tilted her head, intrigued. "Are you offering to return the favor?"
"I’m just saying," Anna said, sliding her foot up Lily’s leg under the table, "I’d love to see what you look like when you're the one letting go. Or maybe taking control, again."
Lily laughed softly, the sound low and knowing. "Is that a challenge?"
Anna grinned. "More like an invitation. I’m just here to make sure you have your perfect day now."
They lingered over the last few bites of breakfast, the air between them charged but warm. The next move would be Lily’s and Anna couldn’t wait to see what she’d do.
Returning the favor
Lily took Anna by the hand and led her back to the bedroom, her touch firm and confident. The room was bathed in the soft morning light, casting a warm glow over the disheveled bed. Lily turned to Anna, sensing a faint air of hesitation. “You still sure about this?” she asked.
Anna ducked her head. “I want this. I really do,” Anna said, quieter than intended. "I just… I want to do it right. I don’t want to disappoint you"
Lily stepped closer and cupped Anna's face gently. "You will. You already are doing it right. Besides, this isn’t about doing it 'right.' It’s about being with me. With that nothing you do could disappoint me."
Anna exhaled slowly. The knot in her chest loosening a little.
Lily spoke; her voice serious. "If things get too intense, you say 'Apples,' and we stop. No questions asked, no judgment. Okay?"
Anna choked off a laugh. "Apples? Someone’s been watching Castle reruns again." Lily chuckled, "I know. I figured it would be easy for you to remember. Ready?”
At Anna’s nod, Lily’s voice firmed. “Good, then take off your clothes" she said, in a tone that clearly expected obedience.
Anna complied, her heart pounding with a mix of nervousness and excitement. She quickly shed her flannel pajamas, standing naked and vulnerable before Lily. Lily's eyes roamed over her body, appreciative and hungry.
Lily took the leather cuffs from the nightstand and secured Anna's hands behind her back, the lock between them leaving a bare inch of separation. Lily folded the blanket from the bed into a cushion, placing it on the floor. She guided Anna to kneel on it, facing the bed, and instructed her to spread her knees widely.
"Comfortable?" Lily asked, her voice laced with anticipation.
Anna nodded. "Yes," she replied in a breathy whisper.
Lily stepped back and slowly removed the black silk bra and panties, revealing an athletic, fit body. The beauty of her small but firm breasts and curved hips enhanced by her air of confidence. Anna took everything in, feeling a surge of desire. Lily approached Anna, her movements predatory and graceful. She grasped Anna firmly by the chin, tilting her head back to meet her gaze.
"You're mine today," Lily declared before crushing her lips to Anna's in a fierce, tongue-filled kiss. Lily’s hands roamed over Anna's body, squeezing her breasts and sliding between her legs, eliciting deep sighs of pleasure.
Lily noticed Anna's knees had inched closer together and tsked disapprovingly. "Wider, Anna. You need to stay in position."
Anna quickly obeyed, spreading her knees apart once more. Lily smirked, a wicked glint in her eyes. "Good girl. But I think you need a little reminder."
She reached for the clover clamps on the nightstand and attached them to Anna's nipples. The sharp pain made Anna gasp, but it was bearable, and the sensation of being at someone else's mercy, Lily’s mercy, sent a thrill through her. Lily leaned down and sucked on Anna's nipples over the clamps, sending shocks of pleasure and pain through her body.
"Ready to make good on your invitation?" Lily asked, her voice a low purr.
Anna, breathless and aching with need, nodded. "Yes."
Lily sat on the edge of the bed and used the chain from the nipple clamps to pull Anna forward, guiding her head between her legs. Anna began to explore Lily's body with her tongue, the taste and feel of her unfamiliar but not unpleasant. The musky scent, the softness of her skin, and the way Lily responded to her touches sent waves of arousal through Anna.
Anna alternated between licking and sucking, her tongue exploring every inch of Lily's most intimate space, learning contours and responses. Occasionally, she would run her teeth gently over the most sensitive spot, eliciting a sharp gasp or shiver. Lily’s growing excitement, fueled Anna's desire in return; the trembling of Lily's legs, the hitch in her breath, and the soft moans of pleasure.
She could feel Lily's body tensing, the signs of an impending release becoming more evident each moment. As her climax approached, Lily reached down and slid her hand to the back of Anna's head, pressing her more firmly against herself, encouraging Anna to take her further. Anna leaned into Lily as the storm built, her own body throbbing with unfulfilled need, but determined to drive Lily over the edge.
With a sudden cry of pleasure, Lily's body convulsed violently, her legs shaking and her breath coming in ragged gasps as waves washed through her with incredible intensity. Anna continued to lick and suck gently, coaxing every last bit of pleasure from Lily's body, until finally, Lily began to calm, her breathing slowing towards normal, her body relaxing and sinking back onto the bed. As the sharp pleasure faded to a warm soft glow she reached out to stroke Anna's face, her touch gentle. "You are wonderful, Anna. Absolutely wonderful."
She leaned over and kissed Anna, a soft, gentle passion replacing the rough desire from before. Anna returned the kiss, feeling soft lips against hers. Lily removed the clamps, and Anna felt a warm, tingling sensation as Lily massaged circulation back into her nipples.
"I wonder what we should do with the rest of the day," Lily mused, reaching for the keys to remove the cuffs from Anna's wrists.
Anna, her body still alive with echoes of desire, shook her head. "I don't know, but do we have to take these off just yet?" she asked, her voice hopeful.
Lily laughed, a deep, throaty sound. "I think I've created a monster," she teased, helping Anna to her feet and giving her a playful swat on the rump. "But I'm more than happy to oblige."
She guided Anna back to the bed, a grin playing on her lips. "I'm sure we can figure out something else to do for a while. After all, we’ve got all day," she promised, her eyes sparkling with mischief and love.
