Mistakes Were Made

“I’ll go back to my room in a minute, I swear,” she said. “And why exactly would you do that?” “Um.” Erin bit where her neck met her shoulder, and it took Cassie a second to fully respond. “You’re the one who said we can’t have sex with Parker in the house.” “Does oral sex really count as sex anyway?” Erin tried to kiss her on the mouth again, but Cassie was laughing at her. Quietly, mindful of Parker, but Cassie couldn’t not laugh at her. “Uh, yeah,” Cassie said. “It definitely still counts as sex.” Erin shrugged. “Guess I won’t sit on your face then.” Cassie stopped laughing. “What?” Erin arched one of her perfect eyebrows. “I was going to, but if you say we can’t, I guess I won’t.” She was playing her. She was being fake nonchalant about it in a way designed to get Cassie to rush to change her mind. Cassie rushed to change her mind anyway. “No, it’s okay,” she said. She kissed Erin, slowly. “I don’t think oral sex counts. It’s probably fine.” “Yeah?” Erin said with a grin. Cassie nodded. “Absolutely.” “Then lie down.” Cassie did as she was told.
