Fake it till you make it

Chapter 8

When they woke the following morning, Wednesday was securely in Enid's arms, the werewolf curled up behind her, keeping her safe and warm.

With some distance to her outburst last night, Wednesday felt foolish for not having better control over her emotions and allowing everyone to see her breaking down.

"I can smell you thinking." Enid grumbled sleepily. "What's wrong?" She asked with a yawn as her tired eyes slowly opened while Wednesday rolled over in her arms to tuck herself under Enid's chin, Enid humming softly as she nuzzled her cheek on the top of her head.

"I wanted to apologise for my outburst yesterday. I should not have let myself lose control like that, and for that I am deeply sorry." Wednesday murmured against Enid's throat.

To her surprise and confusion, Enid chuckled and gave her an affectionate squeeze.

"I had two yesterday, so I think we're even. And I already told you, I'll always be here for you, Wednesday. You know that." Enid told her, her smile evident despite Wednesday not being able to see it.

"Regardless, I am grateful for you helping me. Words cannot adequately express my utmost gratitude." Wednesday said slowly, swallowing hard as she felt her heart fluttering traitorously in her chest.

'These accursed feelings are going to be death of me.' Wednesday internally grumbled.

Enid pressed a kiss to Wednesday's hair, rubbing a hand up and down her back slowly.

"So, what's on the cards for today?" Enid asked, sensing a much-needed topic change.

"I can show you around the grounds if you wish. There is quite a substantial amount of land that we own, so there is quite a bit to show you. I, of course, need to ensure I show you where the various traps I've set for Pugsley are in the woods, lest you fall prey to them accidently, which would be a waste of a good trap." Wednesday said softly.

"Aww, you do care." Enid teased lightly.

"Don't push it." Wednesday warned, hiding her growing blush as she buried her face deeper under Enid's chin.

'Wicked temptress.' Wednesday cursed. 'How dare she fluster me like this with so little effort.'

"I can feel you blushing." Enid laughed teasingly, sensitive ears picking the elevated heartrate of the girl in her arms, making her smirk more knowing she was getting under Wednesday's skin.

"Enough, Enid." Wednesday warned.

"Or what?" Enid challenged playfully.

Frustration mounting, Wednesday sat up abruptly, taking Enid's wrists in her hands as she pinned them in one fluid motion above her head, the werewolf letting her as she looked up at the raven with amusement and anticipation.

Now above Enid, Wednesday realised the position she'd put them in.

She was now on top of Enid, framing the blonde's thighs with her knees resting at her hips as she held herself up by her free hand, their chests barely brushing with each slightly panted breath.

Before she could think better or stop herself, Wednesday was leaning down and kissing Enid eagerly.

Enid hummed into her mouth, leaning into it, moving her lips gently with Wednesday's, the young seer releasing Enid's hands to better hold herself up, Enid's now free hands immediately going to frame her hips as she continued to eagerly worship her lips like she was dying of thirst and Wednesday was her lifegiving oasis.

Some part of her brain realising that this wasn't appropriate, Wednesday pulled back, panting hard, lips kiss swollen.

"I apologise. I should not have d-"

"Shut up." Enid interrupted, pulling her back in with a soft growl, refusing to break this moment between them, Wednesday giving in easily as she felt Enid flip them, laying herself over Wednesday as it she continued to ravish her mouth, nipping lightly at her bottom lip before soothing it with her tongue, making Wednesday gasp.

The raven's legs wrapped around Enid's calves, her hand drifting to tangle in her hair, tugging lightly as she pulled her closer.

Enid nipped at her lip again, making Wednesday's mouth open in a subtle gasp, Enid taking the opportunity to finally slip her tongue against the smaller girl's, moaning softly at the feeling.

Wednesday gripped her tighter, hands fisting the hem of Enid's shirt as she opened her mouth to let Enid explore, her own tongue moving with a fluid yet teasing motion against the blonde's.

She didn't mean to, but Enid pressed herself firmer against Wednesday, her hips twitching ever so slightly as Wednesday's fingers slipped under her shirt and lightly grazed her lower back, humming in approval against her lips.

Wednesday could feel a foreign sensation building low in her belly, setting her whole body on fire, slowly erasing the rational part of her brain as she clung to Enid, nipping her lip lightly, making the werewolf growl softly in approval.

Hands itching to wander, Enid tentatively shifted her hand up from Wednesday's hip, slipping under the hem of her shirt, barely making it over the ridge of her hip before Wednesday jerked away, pushing Enid's hand away.

"Stop." She panted against Enid's lips, her shaking grip around Enid's wrist.

"What's wrong? Are you okay?" Enid asked, terrified she'd overstepped for daring to touch her bare skin.

"Y-yeah. I just... We should stop. Things were becoming inappropriate." Wednesday offers as explanation, swallowing hard as she fought to get her breathing back under control, the haze slowly fading and the reality of what they had just done and the position they were in gradually coming into sharper focus.

"Sorry. I got a bit over excited." Enid apologised, shifting back to give Wednesday some space, their chests no longer pressed together.

"Perhaps it is something we could revisit at night, when we are less likely to have my parents or brothers, for lack of a better explanation, 'catch us'." Wednesday admits before she can hold her tongue, blushing hard as she looks at the floor determinedly.

"Morning my loves." Morticia greeted warmly, letting herself in, only to stop when she saw the position the girls were in, smirking to herself.

"Be safe, girls." She grinned, moving back as she closed the door behind herself.

"MOTHER!" Wednesday cries out, both of them bursting into furious blushes, thoroughly mortified to have been caught in such a position.

Enid climbed off Wednesday, the young raven immediately missing her warmth and surprisingly comforting weight over her.

"I'm sorry. That was too far. I, um... It won't happen again." Enid murmured, refusing to meet Wednesday's eyes as she gets up and goes to the bathroom, closing the door behind herself before slinking down against the door, holding a shaking hand against her mouth to muffle a sob.

I've fallen in love with her.

Fuck.

Twenty minutes later, Enid comes out of the bathroom, having had a shower, removing all evidence of her crying as she plastered on a smile and turned to Wednesday.

"Breakfast time."
