The room sweltered in the summer heat.
The windows were wide open, a clear invitation for any wandering mosquitoes to come in and feast. A fan dutifully did the rounds, swiveling back and forth in a slow semi-circle, clunking and whirring as it went.
It did little to prevent the two bodies grappling on the bed from sweating as they made out.
This was no frenzied bout of kisses, no adolescent tongue-wrestling. Each kiss was slow- agonizingly slow, an exercise in the careful placement of lip upon lip. Each kiss was accompanied by the gentle passage of hands over bodies; fingers carefully probing, slithering underneath clothes and over skin; incremental orbits across flesh that grew more sweat-slick with each passage.
It was a makeout session that was agonizingly restrained performed by two people with a very special relationship with agonized restraint.
Madison whimpered as Lisa pulled away. The voluptuous dark-skinned girl eased her lips from her face and paused as though considering the panting, blonde-haired pale girl.
Then she raised her hand and slapped her.
Madison growled under her breath and grinned. "Bitch."
"Slut."
"Nerd."
"Annoying bullying little delinquent. You ought to be caned."
"Fuck, threaten a girl with a good time, why don't you." Madison slid out from underneath Lisa and got up, straightening out her clothes.
"Maybe next time." Lisa rose from her bed and walked over to the desk. "Alright. Study break done with."
Madison plopped herself back down on the bed, squirming as she did. "Jesus. It's worse when we're together, do you notice?"
Lisa chuckled. "Well. You know how to cure that..."
"My ass is still purple from last time." Madison wriggled on the bed, aware of the way the other girl's eyes followed movements with hunger. "And my boobs..."
"Is it too much?"
"No. No, it's just enough," Madison smirked.
"But we still can't do it too much," said Lisa.
"No," Madison said. "So no pain stuff tonight."
"Okay."
"No forcing me to beg you to use the ruler on my ass."
"Right."
"Or make me lick your feet like you did that time."
"R-right."
"Or use the butt plug to-"
Lisa took in a deep breath. "Stop that shit right
now
, Madison Haliwell."
"Yes Ma'am," Madison said in her best little girl voice.
Lisa groaned. "Fuck. You are the worst study partner ever."
"You want to get another one? One of your pasty little geek boys?"
"Hey, they're good guys."
"Maybe," said Madison. She got up and straddled Lisa, staring deep into the other girl's eyes. She bent down and gently kissed her nose. "But none of them are as freaky as me, are they?"
Lisa's eyes softened in a way that made Madison's heart flutter for a heartbeat. "We better get back to studying before my mum comes up again."
"Right." Madison untangled herself and sat down on the bed. She bit her lip as she opened up her math work, one hand moving to slide between her legs.
"None of that," said Lisa. "You aren't allowed to touch yourself. Not without my permission."
Madison groaned as she sat up. "Who made you such a slavedriver?"
"The same person who made you such a hopeless secret bottom." Lisa chuckled. She turned back to her computer. "Now I want to see your nose in that notebook for the next forty-five minutes or else you don't get your treat."
"Fuck you."
"Language."
"Fudge you, Ma'am."

Madison walked back home with a grin that threatened to split her face in half. She opened the door and stepped in. "Hey." Mum and Dan pulled away from each other on the couch and she chuckled. "See that you two didn't miss me much."
"How was your study session?" asked Mum.
"Productive." She paused at the foot of the stairs and glanced in Dan's direction. "How's the back?"
"Better. Loads better. Things have been good all over." He glanced at Mum; Mum glanced at Dan. Dan opened his mouth to say something but Mum shooshed him up. Madison gave them all of five seconds to stop being so weird before rolling her eyes and heading upstairs.
She got to her bedroom and collapsed on the floor. She took stock of herself. Head: Aching with knowledge. Lips: Chafed. Ass: A mass of purple bruises. Cunt: A white-hot churning mass of desperate need that was guaranteed to give her a sleepless night, hands clenched into fists as her rubbed her thighs together in sweet, sweet agony...
She sighed and lay back on the bed. If someone had told her a year ago that she'd be bottoming for Lisa Bankole, she'd... well, she'd probably do something fucking nasty.
Her phone chimed. She got up and checked her phone, a smile on her face-
A smile that vanished when she read the call request. She grunted and thumbed the approve icon. A moment later, Tanya's voice murmured in her ear.
"Hey there, dumb slut."
"Bitch."
A chuckle. "You really ought to be more grateful. I mean, I'm just giving you what you want, aren't I? Because you're a worthless little cunt who'll do anything she's told just to get some dick."
"I'm doing this because you have those photos-"
"Shhh, little cunt. What photos? No idea what you're talking about. Anyway, get your ass over here now."
"It's late."
"Fuck you, you really turned into a dumb preppy bitch, didn't you? Get your stupid ass over here." The phone clicked silent.
There was a knock at the door. Madison got up and opened it. Mum was on the other side. "Can I come in?"
"Sure."
Mum stood over her. Her hands were clasped together. "Hello." She glanced around. "So."
"So."
"We're getting married," Mum announced in a tumbling burst. "Me and Dan."
"Okay." Madison paused, prodding at the idea like a sore tooth that had finally stopped aching. "Good."
"Good?"
"I'm happy for you." She was shocked at the fact that the statement wasn't a lie.
"Okay." Mum shushed over and she sat down on the bed. "We were thinking something soon. Something simple you. A nice registry and then just-"
"No."
"Listen, I know you've had your problems with him-"
"No, don't make it small," Madison said. "I mean, f- fraggle that."
"Fraggle?"
"Shut up. Look, we should do something a bit fancier than sitting in an office signing forms."
"Honey, you know money's tight-"
"What about a garden party? You know, clear out the back, throw up some arches and sh-stuff, and put out some chairs?"
"The garden's a mess."
"It's called cleaning."
