The room was silent, save for the soft breaths that grew heavier as Alice and Risa moved closer, until there was no space left between them. They'd been here before, always stopping just short, brushing the edge of desire and then pulling away.
But tonight, Alice's gaze held a heat that made Risa's heart race and her knees go weak.
Alice's fingers trailed slowly down Risa's arm, each touch deliberate, teasing, drawing a breathy sigh from her. Her lips hovered near Risa's ear, her voice low, daring.
"You know, Risa... friends don't look at each other this way. Friends don't touch each other... like this." Her lips brushed over Risa's jaw, leaving a spark in their wake. "Or know exactly how each other tastes..."
Risa felt her heart pound, warmth flooding her as Alice's lips found the soft spot behind her ear.
Her own hands moved to Alice's waist, fingers clutching, pulling her closer as she gasped, "Mhm... we're not just friends... not anymore, Alice."
A slow smile crossed Alice's lips as she pulled back just enough to meet Risa's gaze, her eyes dark with mischief.
"No, we're not, are we?" She leaned in, her mouth capturing Risa's in a fierce, passionate kiss, her hands sliding down Risa's back, pulling her body against hers. She could taste the sweetness on Risa's lips, a taste she'd craved for so long.
"Mmm... you taste... my new pet," she teased, a grin breaking through as her lips trailed down Risa's neck, leaving a line of soft kisses that grew hungrier, each one claiming more of her.
Risa let out a soft, trembling moan, her head tilting back as Alice's lips traveled lower, each kiss sending shivers through her.
"Ohh... Alice... don't stop." Her breath hitched as Alice's hands roamed over her skin, fingertips igniting every inch they touched.
Alice's mouth lingered over Risa's collarbone, savoring each sound, each sigh that slipped from her lips. "Ugh... I love hearing those sounds, Risa... does that mean you love me more than a best friend?"
Risa's fingers tightened on Alice's shoulders, her voice a mix of pleasure and desperation. "Mhm... ugh, I love you way more than that, Alice..." She gasped as Alice's hands gripped her waist, pulling her flush against her.
Every touch felt like it was setting her on fire, like Alice was unraveling her piece by piece.
"Ohh... ahh..." Risa moaned, each sound escaping as Alice's lips explored her, leaving no part untouched.
Alice's mouth was hot, teasing, each kiss a promise as she worked her way lower, her hands caressing Risa's sides, drawing her closer, until Risa's body was trembling with need.
"Mmm... just friends wouldn't make you feel like this, would they?" Alice murmured against her skin, her voice a husky whisper that sent a thrill through Risa.
"Friends wouldn't taste every inch of you like I am..." Her hands slid lower, her mouth returning to capture Risa's lips in another deep, breath-stealing kiss.
Risa's response was nothing but a soft, breathy moan as her fingers tangled in Alice's hair, pulling her even closer, not wanting to let go. "Ugh... Alice... I need you..."
Alice smiled, her voice filled with a warmth and desire that matched Risa's. "Then let's stop pretending... let's stop being just friends."
Their breaths, their moans, filled the room, and together they lost themselves, finally surrendering to the passion that had always simmered beneath the surface.
They were no longer just best friends, and they both knew they'd never want to go back.
