Roommates | Kate & Ana

Chapter 17- Masquerade

Kate stands behind me in the mirror, running her fingers through my long freshly blow-dried hair. "Your hair is getting so long.....It's almost longer than mine now." She smiles sweetly, running her flat iron over the first section of my hair. "Oh, I know.... I'm getting it cut as soon as possible." I love the way my longer hair looks, but it's gotten so unmanageable recently. "No! Don't cut it. I like it long. It looks pretty." I smile in Kate's direction. I didn't realize she'd gotten so attached to my hair. "Just a few inches. It'll still be long, don't worry." I reassure her. Then I turn back to the mirror and sit still as she finishes styling my hair. When Kate finishes with my hair, she grabs her makeup bag out of the closet, smiling excitedly. I groan and she giggles. I'm gonna be sitting here forever. I do my best to zone out as Kate uses her extensive collection of high-end makeup to transform my face into a work of art. "All done!" She declares, once finished, and stands back to admire her work. As much as I hate letting people groom me, I have to admit Kate has done a fantastic job. I look beautiful. "What do you think?" She asks, awaiting my approval. "It looks great, Kate. I love it." I smile at her, and her face lights up in response. She squeals excitedly and claps her hands together. "Yes! I'll go get your dress!" She runs off to get my dress and is back within seconds. A huge smile appears on her face as she holds it out to me. "Kate." I start to argue, my eyes drifting back down to the red dress in her hands. The very same red dress she tried to convince me to wear when we went out to celebrate passing our finals. I take a deep breath, pursing my red lipstick covered lips. "Can you go into the other room so I can get changed?" I ask, accepting the dress from her. She looks at me, shocked by my acceptance of her dress choice, then quickly turns and exits the room before I can change my mind.

My reflection in the mirror both shocks and delights me as I stare at myself in amazement. Kate was very right in her choice of dress for me, as she usually is. The red of the dress really does bring out the red tones in my hair in a way that I find very flattering. I turn my head to the side as the door opens and Kate appears. I notice that while she was away she also changed into her dress for the evening. Although her's is quite the opposite of mine. It's black with long sleeves and a plunging neckline that accentuates her perfect figure. It almost looks like some sort of cross between a suit and a dress. I watch as she silently leans up against the opposite wall, and proceeds to look me up and down. I see her lips part slightly as she admires me from across the room and I feel myself start to blush. "Are you just gonna stand there gawking?" Her lips turn up into a small smirk and she shakes her head slightly, she straightens up and moves to approach me. I smile down at my shoes as she walks over to me, stopping when she's only an inch behind me. I slowly turn side to side in the mirror, every hair on my body is standing on end as I feel her warm breath on my neck. "One more final touch." She says, moving her hand out from behind her back to reveal our masks. I watch, curiously, as she turns to the side and slips a simple silver mask over her eyes, then she looks back up at me. Our eyes meet in the mirror as she slowly brings her hands up over my head, holding a beautiful mask made of intricate black lace. She slips it over my eyes, then swiftly bends and presses a light kiss on my shoulder, sending chills down my spine. As I place my hands in her's and she turns me around to face her, my heart's still beating frantically from her kiss. Suddenly, Kate turns my hands palm up, inspecting my wrists. The red marks from the handcuffs still linger on my wrists, standing out against my pale skin. "Maybe I should've tried something gentler first." She pauses, glancing up at me. "I don't have a lot of experience in this kind of thing...." She admits, with a sigh. "Sorry about that." I frown, seeing the guilty look in her eyes. "I'm not mad, Kate." I assure her, trying to think of how to phrase my response. "I don't mind....." I run my fingertips over the mark on my wrist. "This." I take a deep breath, looking up into her eyes. "It was fun." I bite down on my lower lip, holding back my smile. Kate smiles, knowingly, and I think I see her wink at me under her mask. "Maybe we should have more fun tonight then?" She seems to notice the worried look in my eyes and immediately rushes to assure me. "Don't worry! No handcuffs this time. I think your wrists need a break." She quickly explains herself, with a smirk. "Actually, speaking of your wrists, stay right here." She commands me to stay put as she runs out of the bathroom, then returns just as quick. She takes my wrists, which are still stuck out just like they were when she left and puts two solid black velvet bracelets on each one. They cover the marks from the handcuffs perfectly so everyone at the party wont be able to see. I smile to myself. It'll be our little secret.

When Kate and I arrive the party is already in full swing, there's people everywhere, somehow filling the huge loft apartment. Kate's friend must be extremely popular to have this many people at her party, and she must be pretty rich as well. Her apartment is amazing, way better than ours. "Maybe we should've spent less time getting ready." I whisper to Kate and she laughs. "We came at just the right time, baby. Haven't you ever heard of being fashionably late?" She asks, causing me to roll my eyes. Kate's always late to everything and that's always her excuse. It absolutely drives me crazy. As the night goes on, Kate goes around greeting all sorts of people, and I follow along, awkwardly introducing myself to all of Kate's friends. As we walk around, socializing and occasionally stopping for drinks, I start to get the feeling we're being watched. "Kate, everyone's staring at us." I whisper and she smiles, taking a sip of her wine. "Not us, you...." She pauses, taking a glance around, then leans in towards me. "And with the way you look right now, I don't blame them." She whispers in my ear, making me blush. "Come with me." She demands, abruptly leading me away from the main room. She leads me down the hallway and pushes me into the first empty room she finds, leaving me in total darkness as she shuts and locks the door. My hand runs all over the wall behind me, as I struggle to find the light switch, then suddenly Kate grabs my arm and pulls it away from the wall, successfully flipping the light switch on with her free hand. She grabs my body and holds me up against the wall, all in one quick swoop, as she begins to kiss me. Her fingers lock into my hair and my legs wrap around her waist as she lifts me up, turning us around and dropping me down on the sink. She continues to kiss me passionately as her hands work their way up my dress, forcing my dress up around my waist. I lean back against the mirror, spreading my legs for her, allowing her hands more space. "Fuck......Ah!" My words turn into moans as her fingers pump in and out of me, her thumb circling my clitoris. This is going to be hard and fast. She doesn't stop as her mouth moves down to my chest and she pulls my dress down over my breasts with her teeth. She then proceeds to suck on my right breast, her teeth grazing my nipple. Holy fuck, this is so hot.I can't believe were actually fucking in a complete strangers bathroom. This is so wrong, dangerous even, we could easily get caught, and there's no doubt people can hear us through the wall, but right now, I don't care. "Oh, fuck, Kate!" I scream her name, as I come. When I've come down after my orgasm, Kate is smiling proudly, always happy to please. I pull my dress back up over my shoulders by the straps and tug on the ends of my dress, forcing it back down into it's original spot on my thighs. "Pull yourself together, Steele, we've got to get back to the party." Kate smirks at me, unlocking the door. I laugh breathlessly, staring up at the ceiling.

Authors Note; Geez it only took me like a month to update. Hope you enjoyed this chapter though and I hope I didn't go to over the top with the sex scene at the end there?
