Chapter 26 - Fire? Fire!

The two of them grab a few bags each and carry them up to Lily's apartment. Once she unlocks the door, she steps aside for Lizzie to enter first.

With a smile, Lizzie enters and set the bags down, slipping her shoes her shoes off at the front. Lily follows closely behind to do the same but before she could even think about taking off her shoes, Lizzie pushes her back against the door and pins her against it with both hands beside Lily.

"Can I help you?" Lily asks. Her arms are pinned to her sides while her hands are still full of bags.

Lizzie doesn't answer. Her eyes are dark with desire and a purpose. To start this week off right, she needed to be close to Lily. To touch her, to kiss her.

And that's what she does. With Lily pinned against the door, she pulls her into a hungry kiss, wasting no time and slipping her tongue into Lily's mouth. Lizzie dominates her easily as her tongue explores every inch of her mouth.

Lily smiles through the kiss letting Lizzie have her way for a moment. But it doesn't last long. She drops the bags to the floor and in one fluid motion with her arm snaking around Lizzie's waist, she spins them both around. Her free hand lands besides Lizzie's head on the door, their positions now flipped with Lizzie pinned against the door.

"That was cute," Lily snickers. She towers over Lizzie and couldn't hide the smirk on her lips as she finds the pink rising on Lizzie's cheeks. She clearly dominates Lizzie in every way possible, despite what Lizzie thought.

"That's not fair," Lizzie huffs, sticking her chin up at Lily to show she isn't discouraged from the height difference. She won't admit that she liked this dominant side of Lily. And she definitely won't back down.

"It isn't," Lily agrees. "But what will you do about it?" She leans down to Lizzie's height to meet her eyes. Her brown eyes challenged Lizzie's green ones.

Lizzie had no retort, which made Lily's smirk widen with confidence.

Lizzie expected a kiss in return but she didn't get one. At least not one she wanted. Instead of kissing her on the lips, Lily leans in and places a quick kiss on the tip of her nose before pulling back completely. She slips off her shoes and carries the bags into the kitchen.

Completely baffled, Lizzie could only follow Lily into the apartment with the bags she had set down.

"That wasn't very nice," Lizzie comments. "You can't leave me hanging like that."

"You're just mad your ambush didn't work," Lily laughs.

It was just like the beach again. Even then, Lily would be too fast and too strong to take her down. And that kiss. Just the thought of it brought a warmth brewing inside Lizzie.

"Extremely mad," Lizzie says as she walks up to Lily, who is putting away some canned goods in a cabinet above her. Lizzie places her hands on Lily's waist and turns her so that she is facing her.

With a crooked smile, Lily asks, "Are we doing this again?"

"I'll have my way with you one way or another," Lizzie says, her voice low and raspy. She presses her body against Lily and stands on her toes to place a sweet, longing kiss. As she pulls back, she brings Lily's bottom lip with her between her teeth until it slaps back in place. Lizzie finds gratification when Lily's body follows her, whether consciously or subconsciously desiring more. But she doesn't give it to her, teasing her just as Lily did to her moments ago.

"Now that isn't fair," Lily husks.

Lizzie hides her smile and steps back, plucking a bag from the floor and taking out the contents. Lily watches in bewilderment as Lizzie goes about the kitchen, putting things away in the the refrigerator, cabinets, and shelves as if what she just did didn't happen.
