November 2026
It's raining.
The rain slicks down their bodies, soaking through thin cotton, clinging like a second skin. Carina Marie Delvecchio--all curves, all tits, all heat--stands firm, fists clenched, dripping, pissed off. The streetlights catch the wet shine of her skin, her dark hair a wild mess, her brown eyes burning. She's got weight to her, presence, something solid, unshakable.
Anna Grace Whitmore looks like she might disappear.
Too small. Always too small. Five feet, maybe a ninety pounds soaking wet--and she is soaking wet--her pale arms wrapped around herself, her shoulders drawn in like she's trying to take up even less space. The rain runs in rivulets down her bare legs, her soaked-through shirt clinging to ribs and the flat plane of her stomach. No bra, because of course not, because Anna does things a certain way, and Carrie isn't even sure she owns one.
Carrie takes a step forward, anger cutting through the cold. "It's fuckin' cold out here," she says, even though she doesn't have to. Even though Anna already knows. "You ain't wearing a coat... hell, you ain't wearin' a goddamn bra!"
Anna takes a step back.
Carrie's jaw tightens. A guy in a heavy coat lingers nearby, watching, eyes flicking between them like he's waiting for something.
Carrie turns on him, sharp and instant. "Fuck off."
He does.
Anna exhales, slow, measured, her green eyes unreadable behind rain-streaked glasses.
"Carrie."
Just her name. No demand, no plea. Just a statement, like she's saying something final.
Anna doesn't flinch. Doesn't shiver. Doesn't do anything but stare, those green eyes too clear, too knowing. The rain runs down her face, dripping off her jaw like she's carved from marble, like she doesn't even notice.
Carrie notices. Notices everything. The way Anna looks like she belongs to the street more than the warm apartment they just left. Too small, too stubborn, her shirt clinging like she's being claimed by the rain. And Carrie feels like a fucking wrecking ball in comparison--too solid, too much.
November 2025
It's raining.
Anna's curled in Carrie's lap, skin warm, legs tangled together. She's smaller like this, compact in a way that makes Carrie want to hold on tighter, to press her closer. They're both nude, but Anna--somehow--feels more exposed. Maybe it's the way she lets Carrie touch her, the way she doesn't flinch when fingers trace her ribs, her stomach, her nipples. Maybe it's the way her black-framed glasses are pushed up onto her head, forgotten, leaving nothing between them but skin and the space where their breaths mix.
Carrie's grinning, lazy and sharp. "No tits."
Anna huffs. "Carrie."
"No, I mean, none." Carrie cups Anna's chest with both hands, a performative display of nothingness. "Like, where'd they go? They get lost?" She lets her thumbs brush over Anna's nipples, teasing, flicking, and Anna's breath catches, but Carrie doesn't stop. "You sure you didn't leave 'em somewhere? Maybe South Street? Maybe I should put up flyers--'Lost: One pair of tits, last seen on a tiny, crazy blonde with too many fuckin' keys in her purse.'"
Anna's trying not to laugh, biting her lip, but the corners of her mouth betray her.
Carrie leans in, nosing along Anna's jaw. "It's love, baby. You know that, right?"
Or it should be.
Anna knows. She's always known.
Carrie loves her. Fiercely, wholly, in a way that's bone-deep and unshakable. The kind of love that would take a bullet without hesitation, that would hold her hair back after too many drinks, that would dig a grave if she needed one dug. The love that would march into South Philly with brass knuckles and bad intentions if anyone ever fucked with her.
But it's not the love. Not the love Anna needs.
It's not candlelight and whispered confessions. Not love letters tucked under pillows or hands held just because. It's not waking up next to someone and knowing--knowing--they'll be there tomorrow, and the next day, and the next. It's not to-the-last-breath love.
Carrie doesn't love like that. Not her.
Anna's stomach twists, her laugh fading too soon, but she doesn't move away. She lets Carrie's fingers graze over her skin, lets herself pretend, just for a little longer, that this is enough.
Anna gasps, a quiet, breathy thing, as Carrie's mouth drags over her chest--warm, insistent, teasing. Her lips part against skin, mouthing nonsense between kisses, praise and filth tangled together. "Tiny little things," she murmurs, squeezing, thumbs brushing over stiff peaks, watching Anna's body respond to every touch. "Perfect. Perfect."
Anna's back arches, fingers threading through dark, damp hair. Carrie shifts, pressing her down, and suddenly Anna's on her back, pinned, all 127 pounds of Carina Marie Delvecchio sprawled on top of her, 12 of which is tits--pressed flush against Anna's ribs, heavy, soft, teasing.
And that face. That fuckin' face.
