Borrowed Time Part 2

Chapter 227

Packing for spring break was not an easy task, especially with how quickly the weather could shift in their state - sometimes it fucking snowed during spring break, sometimes it was hot... She'd have to bring multiple layers just to accommodate for the goddamn weather changes, and that would make it more difficult. Luckily, they were driving down, so she didn't have to worry about checking a bag, but that didn't make it any easier.

Juliette rifled through her drawer, smirking as she felt the faux leather of a mini skirt that Shelby had made her buy a few weeks back because 'you never know when you might need a short skirt, they come in handy.' She pulled it out, holding it behind her back as she cleared her throat, looking over to where Esme was lounging on the bed.

This would be a welcome surprise for them, she was sure of that, and she wanted to watch their reaction in real time, because it would be one hell of an ego boost. Esme glanced up at her, setting their phone down with a soft smile on their face.

"Hey baby, what's up?" They asked, making her heart feel warm from the second they spoke - she liked how readily they responded to her, how they always showed her just how much more important this was over anything else they could be doing.

She rocked back on her heels before pulling the skirt out and holding it across her hips, watching their eyebrows shoot up as they wetted their lips, looking between her hips and her eyes frantically, as if they weren't sure what to do.

Cute.

"Do you think I should pack this?" She asked, keeping her tone as innocent as possible as Esme nodded dumbly, sitting up on the edge of the bed with their hands resting behind them, looking her up and down with such hunger that she felt like her knees could go weak just from their gaze... Honestly, the effect that they managed to have on her needed to be studied in a lab, because this was crazy.

"I... Ha... You... Mhm." Their voice cracked over the words and she chuckled, leaning down in front of them a bit, hearing a whimper die in their throat as she paused just outside of their reach.

She needed to keep the upper hand.

"Like the thought of me in this?" She asked, already knowing the answer before they even started to nod. They were eager though, almost beating her to it as they sat up straighter, looking at her desperately.

God, they were always so fucking cute when they got eager like this... She was gonna have so much fucking fun with this.

"Mhm." Juliette stood back up, spinning the skirt around in her hands as she looked at them, making sure to maintain eye contact.

"Maybe I should try it on for you, huh? Make sure it fits-." She didn't even get to finish her sentence before Esme was nodding, sitting up straight on the edge of the bed with an eager expression on her face, which was a lovely boost of confidence.

She was pretty sure that she didn't need to be flying this high on whatever support she was getting, but she was going to take it... She'd take whatever Esme was going to give her right now, it was more fun that way.

"Yes." Their voice croaked out of them almost as if they had never even permitted themself to speak, like it was just so needed for her to hear them that it had forced itself out of them in order to let her know what they wanted. She chuckled, shaking her head as she leaned against the dresser feeling deeply flattered by the knowledge that they wanted her bad enough that they couldn't even contain it.

All she was going to do was try on a skirt for them and you'd think that she was practically flashing them on the street, that was how crazy they really were for her.
