Not Letting Go

Chapter 33

The girls made it inside Max's room and the brunette closed the door behind them. She crossed her arms and stared at Kate who turned around to see her playful scolding look. She feigned innocence, looking around as if to say there was no way Max was giving that stare to her.

"You know who I'm looking at, you naughty, naughty girl. But you have to be good tonight. I want to sleep well for tomorrow. You keep making my heart beat so fast, it needs to slow down."

Kate went up to Max, slowly and looked at her seductively the whole way. Max's heart was beating faster, just as she mentioned. She froze, as the blonde came close and took Max's hands to put them on her waist and then put her own around the freckled girls neck.

Tilting her head slightly she looked at Max with her bedroom eyes and quietly said very slowly, "Tell me again how I'm a naughty...naughty girl."

"You're still being naughty!"

"Oh, I am? I'm sorry, I'll be a good girl. Just tell me what to do...and I'll do it." Her hands trailed down Max's back and then went back up, coming under her shirt. She rested them on her sides, seemingly equally likely to go up her front as her back.

A million fantasies and desires jumped into Max's head. As much as she wanted to act on them though, she knew it wasn't the time for it.

Max sighed in frustration at what she might be denying herself right now and made a closed mouth moan as she felt Kate's fingers start to caress up and down her sides.

"Oh god...I'm sorry, but...I just can't right now, Katie..."

Kate frowned and took her hands out of Max's shirt and took hold of Max's. Changing tone, she said, "I'm sorry, Em. I'm pushing too hard, aren't I? I think I do this when I get nervous. I'm kinda just figuring this out..."

"Oh, Katie, any other night and I would be...well, it'd be very different. I just don't want to get worked up and not be able to sleep and my mind is in a different place, but...I think you might have taken me out of that place...I can't think straight anymore..."

"I hope not," Katie said, turning Max's words as a pun. She sighed, coming down from the last feelings of her suggestive flirtation and said, "I won't pressure you anymore and I'll be good," using a tone that was not seductive this time.

"Just for now...you better be ready to turn whatever that is back on later."

"With the drop of a hat, I could," Kate said smiling wickedly.

"Drop of a hat? You sound like an old person."

"Hey! A lot of people use that phrase!"

"Yeah, a lot of old people!" Max teased.

Kate made a cute pretend growl and did a rapid Eskimo kiss, shaking her head.

Max held her breath when Kate's face came closer and did not let go until she stopped moving her head. The blonde noticed and said, "Even that? I wasn't even trying!"

The brunette's voice turned tender and more romantic than seductive as she said, "I don't think you have to try...I just want you Katie...and someday I'll have you and you'll have me..."

Kate looked sweetly back at her and squeezed Max's hands gently before saying, "Not until you're ready."

"I'm more ready than you know...but tonight let's just make sure we sleep! Come on," Max said, pulling Kate by the hand to their bags. They got out their sleeping clothes, pajama pants and shirts from each other. Kate saw ears sticking out of Max's bag and said, "Hey! You brought little Kate," smiling at the sight.
