"Yes," she whispered. "Yes, Will. Yes. All of it. Yes." And by the time she had finished speaking the words, he had knelt forward, parted her thighs, and driven his tongue into her, so that she ended with a yes that was a bright cry, as she arched back and opened to his hungry mouth.

Bijou was in the middle of a sentence. "...so basically, what's being said here is that going back to school at this point would be a big financial step, but..." when she paused. A small star had exploded very softly in the back of her head.
Really? she thought. Yes? Oh good, o god, o good. It hurt, all of a sudden, hurt deep in her belly to think that it was happening right now, and she wasn't there to witness it, to drink it. But it was correct. It was the sort of pain that was right, and understandable. And soon enough, or not soon enough, but soon, she would be there too.
Oh yes. Very soon.
"Sorry, I got distracted," she said. "What I'm saying is, the bravest possibility here is for you to commit to this long-term plan, but..."
Her mind wandered as she did her best to convince young Adam that his desire to go back to school was a good one. Will would want to go down on Sara, first thing if he could. He loved that, almost more than anything else. Perhaps he was there right now, his tongue flickering, his fingers...

In fact, he was. At that moment, his fingers had slid down, slowly, drawing a line from her little pearl, where they had been lingering. He had been gently spreading her lips open, drawing her completely apart, to reveal everything, both for his own education and to make her vulnerable. He watched her squirm under his gaze, amazed at how much it drove her higher that he was being so straightforward.
But that hadn't been the case a little while ago, when she had first said the word Yes to him. Even as he'd said what she had asked him to say, told her he'd do whatever he liked with her, he knew he was in a bind, and his mind was racing.
He knew what she had asked him: that he be the one in charge, to 'get a little toppy,' as Bijou would say, but it just was not in him to move to a place in which he wasn't motivated by what a lover liked, what she wanted. That service both pleased him and defined him; it was, truly, what he actually wanted. There was an idiotic thought loop in his head now: but what does she want? She wants me to do what I want. But what I want to do is whatever she likes. But what she likes is doing what someone else wants.
But there were at least one or two things he knew he wanted already, that is, if she wanted them. He wanted to taste her, to press his mouth against that spectacular little pussy for hours, days, the rest of his life.
And he wanted to make her come. Over and over, hard and good. He wanted to see that, to hear it, to memorize her at every level, from the tiny shocks and cries he was already hearing to the most sweeping and abandoned climax. He wanted that, all of it.
He couldn't just be peremptory, because it didn't fit with the intense affection, the adoration and connection he felt for this... this angel. But he could talk. Oh yes, and he could simply tell the truth, and repeat what she clearly wanted to hear him say. And she seemed to want him. More than that; she responded to everything he did with a clear, plaintive hunger, as if he had her at his fingertips already.
Meanwhile, though, his body had completely ignored the fact that he was still trying to decide what to do. He noticed that he was back to kissing her, his mouth urgent and deep and hers matching him, and that his hands were roaming outrageously around her body, to which she responded with the hottest series of little whimpers and giggles he had ever heard.
He pulled his mouth away, reluctantly, and looked at her. Her head was thrown back, her eyes gleaming as she gazed, almost drugged, at his face. She breathed quickly, her lips parted. She looked like many things, suddenly. A woman on the edge of orgasm. A woman about to commit murder. A woman so in love she wants to actually, physically drive the force of her overflowing heart into the heart of her lover, to penetrate him as he penetrates her. She had the most boundless, the most fiery eyes he'd ever seen.
"Lover, I just don't know where to start. I know I want to keep doing this. God. Forever." He ran his hands up to her breasts, beginning to be a bit frustrated by the way her arms met and blocked his view and his touch. He moved his mouth to the side of her neck, kissing her down to where the kimono draped across her shoulder. It was beautiful, but he wanted to shove it aside.
Almost as an aside, he added, "As much as I like. As long as I want." And because he couldn't help it, he added, "As long as you want."
"Yes," she said, again. "Yes. Yes." Every time she said it, it was an entirely different word. A tentative consent. A plea. A whine. A low, sweet moan. And so she had conditioned him, as he then began to touch her everywhere, to learn the inches of her skin, and hear at every turn her agreement, the urging of her voice as she balanced her desires against his.
"And this," he said, drawing back again and running his hands along her silk-bound arms, "is so beautiful, so amazingly hot, that part of me just wants to see it forever." He traced the shapes she made, the slices of her skin that showed between the kimono and her arms, the edge of red on white, the pressed flesh of her breasts against the black silk. "But then, I find I also really want to take it off. It's rather... limiting. Lovely, though. If frustrating in the extreme."
"Yes," she said again, this time with that sassy gleam in her eye. And she opened her hands, allowing the two ends to fall. He didn't have to unwrap it for her; it was wound loosely enough that as soon as the end fell free she could shift her forearms back and forth and it widened and fell, uncoiling all the way up to her wrists.
She couldn't help it; she was a little stiff from having her arms brought slightly forward in that position for even this long, and without thinking about what a stunning picture it would be, she kept the silk between her hands and raised her arms over her head, stretching her back. The kimono fell further open and she arched, letting her head roll back, stretching her whole spine.
