Taming of a Rebel

by Eada Friesian

“I’m glad you came over. It’s easily the best thing that has happened all week.” “Uh-oh.” Tori sat, one leg bent with her knee pressed against the back of the couch, and gave a small understanding smile. “Want to talk about it?” “No, that’s not what you came here for.” Miranda mirrored Tori’s position and tried to conjure the images of their flirting from last weekend, but Tori’s open blue eyes kept her trapped in the here and now. “I came here to see you,” Tori said as she entwined their fingers along the back of the couch. “Whatever that means.” Warning bells went off in Miranda’s head. But she tamped them down. There was nothing going on between them but mere sex. “Are you sure?” Miranda’s mind screamed at her to stop talking and start fucking. Okay, that might have been her body more than her mind, but either way, she had an overwhelming desire to unload. And for the first time, she thought Tori might actually understand. The woman had had a certain ability to see what no one else ever had. “Of course.” Tori’s smile lit up the room. Miranda searched for disappointment or annoyance but saw none in that open gaze. “I’m going to have to fire one of my employees.”
