A Sweet Chase (gxg)

Twenty

In just about a week or a little over, it was the first time both Ryn and Harper were able to catch a good night's sleep.
They didn't know whether it was because they had exhausted themselves the previous night or because of the change of bed to something much more comfortable, but they slept like babies.
Harper and had fallen asleep in Ryn's arms and was the first to wake up the following morning.

Ryn's naked body was pressed against her back and it was hard to remain unaffected when she thought of it, but eventually, she turned around to face her. Harper wanted to touch her again, she looked so peaceful asleep and such a realization made her smile.

The temptation to at least run her fingers across her face was so strong as she kept peeking at Ryn, eventually giving in. Harper brushed her fingers light and feathery across her cheek and Ryn stirred. Her eyes fluttered open and the moment she recognized where she was and who she was laying beside she smiled.

"Morning," Harper eased out and Ryn kept smiling.

"Did you wake me up because you're interested in repeating last night all over again?" She asked and Harper chuckled.

"I don't mind but I didn't mean to wake you up."

"That's alright. I would've gotten up at any point."

"It's Susanne," Harper replied out of the blue as soon as silence fell and Ryn looked at her bewildered until she elaborated.

"My second name, it's Susanne and I thought you should know."

"Wow, so finally huh! It took some vigorous bodily work out to make you muster up enough bravery to tell me." Ryn joked, laughing hysterically and Harper did the same while her cheeks burned.

"Sorta. I just think now that since we've, ya know actually seen each other naked and all that I should tell you. It should've been first but the order of it doesn't exactly matter now."

"No, it doesn't. By the way, Susanne sounds like a huge rich girl name."

"I know, but it's mine,"

"It sure is," Ryn smirked, drifting her eyes to Harper's lips. While her gaze lingered there she remembered what it was like to taste it and how it felt on parts of her body. She wasn't expecting Harper to be that experienced for some strange reason but she was and the sex they had was mind-blowing and the urge to initiate something similar made knots started to form in Ryn's tummy.

"I think we should talk about what happened between us last night," Harper struck up, getting up and moving to a sitting position on the bed.
Ryn followed shortly after, still unable to take her eyes off of her.

"I really think we should," Ryn said moving her gaze eventually.

"What did it mean, and what's going to happen between us now
Was it just a casual something or is there some amount of meaning?"

Ryn saw the soft expression on Harper's face and it made her feel something. Looking at her made it hard to vocalize what it was that she felt.
The sex did mean something and it wasn't just about the lust, but Ryn wasn't sure one hundred per cent that Harper felt the same.

"For me, it was more than just lust. Of course, I think you're beautiful and irresistible and I would like it to mean something but I don't know what you feel and want, " She answered and the soft expression Harper had changed to something even softer.
She started blushing and got up completely from the bed and picked up her nightgown which had been laying on the floor all night.

"I'm glad you feel the same way I feel. I was praying you weren't one of those types of people who were just all in it for the casual fun."

"I'm not and I swear. I really like you and if it's any consolation way before we had sex I kept thinking of ways I could tell you without making me seem weird." Ryn confessed.

"Well, Ms Bates, it seems like you and I were actually in tune with our emotions because I do like you too but I still don't know how it's going to be here on after last night."

"It doesn't have to be any way different for now. We'll continue to hunt for Therese until we find her and then after we can talk about so much more."

"Okay," Harper smiled after hearing that and started to make her way out of the room.

"I'm gonna go shower and then make us some breakfast. You can come down when you're ready."

"Sure, I'll be there in a bit."

After Harper left the room Ryn got on her cell phone and dialled up Lincoln.
It wasn't that early in the morning but she figured he'd be up and about already.

"Please tell me you've caught her because if I hear otherwise I'm coming where ever you are and personally hunt that woman down myself." He stated after coming onto the phone and Ryn chuckled softly.
Getting up out of bed, she moved across the room to gaze through the window while standing in the nude.

"We didn't. She tried to kill us again and we lost her. For good this time." Lincoln sighed heavily and cursed within the air.

"Where the fuck are you?"

"We're at Harper's place."

"Okay and I'm guessing you want me to start looking for her again huh?"

"Yes, but I also need you to do something more."

"I'm listening,"

"Help me hunt her down and we'll split the money evenly," Ryn pitched.

"Let me get this straight. You want me to come help you on your hunt?"

"Yes,"

"That's completely out of my line of work and you know it."

"Yeah but you've done it before," Ryn argued remembering the time she hunted down her first guy.
Lincoln was the one at her side and she'd never forgotten it. Although he wasn't interested in accompanying her again. It's how she ended up using his connections instead.

"You know I can't do that again, I get you information that you need and nothing more. I can get you anything but looking for the actual criminal is not my job. I can't do that."

"Yes, you can. With you, by my side, we'll be able to find her in no time. Please think about it." She pleaded and the air between them went dead for a few seconds.

"Okay but what about the girl?"

"Harper, I don't know but I've been thinking of trying to convince her to stay. Therese was really mad at her and I know if it comes to it she's going to hurt her. I've seen it in her eyes and I won't let that happen,"

"Talk to her first, tell her what you're telling me and if she doesn't falter in her stance of still going along with the hunt, let me know and we'll come up with something."

"Alright, I'll let her know. In the meantime try to locate Therese and I want tabs on her every second of the day. The next time I meet that bitch face to face, I'm not letting her go."

"Sure thing boss. I'll talk to you soon." Lincoln said and hung up.

After the call ended, Ryn made her way into the bathroom quarters and started to freshen up. She combed her hair and tied it in a messy bun at the top of her head and threw on a pair of blue skinny jeans, heavily ripped and a black t-shirt and left to join Harper at breakfast.

When she arrived downstairs the air was filled with the stench coffee.
Ryn inhaled deeply and rounded the wall intersecting the kitchen from the living quarters, but froze when she did.

She spotted Harper at the breakfast table bent over some toasts, her nipples printing through her tank top and it caused Ryn to swallow hard. Flashes of their heated bodies from last night popped up into her mind and instantly she became aroused. Licking her lips at the delightful sight before her which wasn't the food, she made her way over, not even for a second did she take her gaze away from Harper.
