Kindle Notes & Highlights
A gentle smile spread across Vanessa’s face, and she pulled Mel toward the bed.
These days, whenever Mel found herself thinking about Vanessa, it wasn’t all the kinky things they did together that played in her mind. It was the little things. The parts of Vanessa that made her, well, her. The faint curve of her lips when she was content. The way Vanessa would sweep Mel’s hair out of her face. The way Mel’s name rolled off Vanessa’s tongue.
“Wow,” Jess said. “You’ve really got it bad.”
Jess feels entirely underdeveloped. And all of her dialogue feels forced hmmmm
She wanted to enjoy Vanessa’s gifts. And she couldn’t when she was thinking about how expensive they were.
“You don’t need it.” Jess hugged her. “Vanessa is clearly head over heels for you.”
“And you look exquisite.” Vanessa looked Mel up and down, drinking her in. “It’s all thanks to you.” Mel smoothed down her dress. “I love this dress. The color is gorgeous.” “I thought you might like it. But I’m not talking about the dress. I’m talking about you.” Mel’s face grew hot. She had done all manner of kinky things with Vanessa, yet a simple compliment from her made Mel blush like a schoolgirl. She looked around. “What’s all this?”
“I don’t mind. I’m happy just being here.” With you, Mel almost said.
Vanessa picked up a brochure for a holiday on a private island in the middle of the Pacific. “How would you like to come on an island getaway, my pet?” “Seriously?” “Yes. It’s for a good cause after all.” Vanessa scribbled an outrageous number on the clipboard. It was by far the highest bid there, and it had to be at least three times what the trip was worth.
“This is Melanie, my date.” Vanessa’s jaw was set. “She’s not a toy, Vicki.”
Vanessa’s affectionate smile made Mel forget all about Vicki’s comments.
Silence. Then, “Come home with me.” “Sure.” “I mean it. Not to my room at The Lounge. Home. To my apartment.” Warmth sprung up in Mel’s chest. “Okay.”
Mel brought her hand up to her neck. She was still wearing the necklace Vanessa had given her. A gentle smile spread across her face. “Melanie? What are you thinking about?” Vanessa asked. “Just how lucky I am,” Mel said. Vanessa trailed her finger over the curve of Mel’s hip. “And here I was thinking the same thing.”
