The wind outside of my apartment began to howl. A figurine on my neighbor's patio blew over, and I smiled when I heard the glass shatter. Understandably, no one but me was excited about an impending, category 3 hurricane, least of all the couple who'd just lost their porcelain statue, but no one but me was riding out the storm with Sadie, the hottie in the apartment above me.
Several days prior, nearly the instant our local news station reported a tropical disturbance, Sadie's message reached my phone. "Hurricane party for two at my place!" We agreed on tacos, margaritas, and old noir films until the power would inevitably go out.
During the five days following her invitation, I kept my fingers crossed for the storm to make landfall. Three trips to the grocery store, four boarded windows, and five loads of laundry later, I found myself staring at my reflection, making sure that every little detail was right. No one wants to overdress for a sleepover, but Sadie was breathtaking, and I wanted her to think I was, too. Keeping my goal in mind, I decided on tiny, black shorts and a light pink, open back tank top. No bra needed. I gasped when the soft, knit fabric grazed my nipples. How could I have been so excited already?
The storm was really picking up outside, but I could still hear old Mrs. Martin as she shouted for her husband to bring their plants indoors. Hurricane Daytona seemed to be making landfall, and it was time for me to get upstairs. Behind my breasts, my heart was pounding. A giddy wave of goose bumps broke out across my skin. My mind was running wild.
Sadie swung the door open before I could even finish knocking. "Brooke! You look amazing!" She wrapped her long, tanned arms around my neck. Her chest pressed against mine, and I noticed my knees getting weak from the coconutty scent of her shampoo. Couldn't we save the drinks, food, and doe eyed actresses for later?
Afterall, this girl was a living daydream! She was in an oversized t-shirt and lace panties, perfect for a sleepover, and she couldn't have been more show stopping in a ballgown. Her eyes were bright and round, framed by tendrils of curly, raven hair, her mouth delicate but pouty. All of this was paired with an unmatchable, vivacious energy and a fluttering voice. Blinding heat spread between my thighs.
Reluctantly, I broke our embrace to show that I'd brought the key ingredient for our margaritas- two bottles, just as promised. She pointed me towards the kitchen and softly closed the door behind me. Biting her lower lip, she admitted, "I know we didn't talk about dessert, but I baked red velvet cake this morning. I hope that's alright with you."
Before I could answer, she giggled and brought a shushing finger to her lips. "Don't tell anyone about my sweet tooth, okay? Just come try this." Her bare, graceful legs led me to a counter across the room where she pulled an opaque lid away from a standard, plastic dish.
The cake itself was round and unassuming, but it smelled delicious. Sadie dipped the tip of her index finger into its side and used her mouth to clean it off. Her eyes met mine as she skimmed the surface of her lower lip with her finger, and a sly yet girlish smile emerged. Following her lead, I brought a small dollop of frosting to my lips and gently sucked. I could get addicted to something that good.
Sadie rolled her eyes and let out a sparkling laugh. "You missed a little."
Balancing with one hand on my shoulder, she used her tongue to quickly lap a bit of frosting from my chin. My skin flushed. Warmth spread from my cleavage through my arms. My lips just barely parted, seeing an opportunity to press themselves firmly against the woman I'd been craving. I missed the chance, though, and as Sadie left the tips of her toes, I thought I saw the look in her eye shift to disappointment.
Once our drinks were poured and our plates were full of cake and soft-shelled tacos, she turned to me. "The couch in my living room is pretty, but it's not very comfortable, and it doesn't fold out."
"The bedroom then?" My eyes looked over her shoulder to the end of the hall. The bedroom door was ajar, and it was obvious she'd spent time adding extra comfort items to her king sized bed.
"Duh!" Sadie beamed. "Eight hundred thread count! And I just got some brand new pillows you need to try!"
We carried our meal to the bedroom, stifling giddy laughter and shushing one another like children. Sadie rested her plate on the nightstand and bounced onto the bed, lifting her arms like a gymnast when she landed.
"Ten! A perfect score," I said, taking a seat beside her.
She gave an appreciative chuckle and bowed from her sitting position. "Because I'm just so gorgeous and talented and-"
"Dangerous," I mused. I took a bite of food. "You're dangerous."
Her gaze was palpable, and my cheeks burned bright. As she scooted closer, her warm, bare thigh rested against my knee. I took a heavy sip from my glass. "We talked about watching The Big Sleep first, right?"
We realized the remote was across the bed. Sadie leaned forward onto her knees, spread shoulder width apart, and stretched her petite length as far as it could go to. I couldn't ignore the beautiful vision of her body, the dip in her spine or the roundness peeking out from the bottom of her lacy underwear. There was a delicious-looking damp spot between her legs, and I felt my heart jump.
Remote in hand, she rejoined me. For the next hour, we discussed the history of film, marveled at the theatrical stylings of Mr. Humphrey Bogart, and made hilarious attempts to imitate the accents of the beautiful women on her television screen. Finally, I rested my arm behind her waist, feeling the well-worn cotton of her shirt against my skin and for the first time I noticed her floral laundry scent. She turned her head to me, lips only slightly parted, and pressed them fully, passionately against mine. For a moment, I reveled in the feeling that I may orgasm just from this small act of lust and affection.
My fingers stroked her hair while our tongues began to explore one another's mouths. I gave a small tug, and a deep moan escaped from her throat and met my lips. I tugged again and my mouth moved more passionately, inciting an even more fevered moan from her chest. Intoxicated by the sensation, I slipped the t-shirt off of her mesmerizing frame. Flushed, freckled skin was hiding underneath, and I had to know what she felt like.
Sadie's head rolled backwards and her body quivered as my tongue traced her collarbone and my hands danced over her curves. I let myself relish in feeling the hills and valleys tucked along her body, and the transitions from hard to soft pulled my starving, greedy touch in every direction. They seemed to move with a mind of their own, one finally cupping and squeezing her right breast while the other anchored itself by holding onto her opposite hipbone. Feverishly, I licked and kissed my way upwards along the side of her neck and nibbled her ear. The moment my teeth skimmed her skin, she let out a lustful gasp. She reached out towards me and the tips of her fingers ran across my chest.
