Havenless Samantha Ending (Riddle AU)

This image lives in my mind ✨ rent free ✨
Also without context you won't understand the picture...
Or why exactly Samantha couldn't actually kiss Jae-

She suddenly was leaning a bit closer to me. Would it be rude to play with her hair right then? "I think...our roles got swapped." Stella said, chuckling slightly. "I wanted to rely on you...but it looks like you rely on me far more."
"I..." I couldn't quite find the words to speak. After so long of needing to rely on other people for speaking for me, it was hard to suddenly be someone for someone else to rely on. I was a listener. Not a speaker.
She seemed to understand regardless. "Is it okay then...for something else?" At first I was afraid, but then she was close.
In that situation, I always thought I'd be in her place. Or at least calm about it. But my initial fear changed to a different kind of fear and surprise. Stella was close. She was too close. Too close.
Her eyes flicked down, staring at my lips for a moment, before she looked me back in the eye. How was she so calm? I wasn't sure why, but I was breathing through my mouth. I could feel the two of us sharing air, our breaths blending together.
"Is this too much?" Stella asked. "It's-it's not that it's..." I couldn't find my words again. "And trying to peek down other girls' shirts is okay?" She asked, a teasing smile playing on her lips. I knew what she was doing. But why was she doing it?
Moments later, her hand covered my mouth. She pushed me backwards gently, and I found myself between Stella's body and the couch. My eyes were wide, staring at her in utter shock. Every cell in my body was tingling with warmth. Her palm was soft against my lips.
I felt myself blush deeply, not just my cheeks but my neck and my ears as well. Slowly, Stella pulled her hand off my mouth, her fingers lingering hesitantly against my lip for a moment. "You can still back out now if you want." She whispered. My breath hitched in my throat, and I couldn't seem to remember how to speak.
She gave me a few seconds to respond, taking my silence as a go-ahead. I had time to blink before I felt her mouth on mine. Stella's tongue cautiously explored my mouth, and I could tell she had never kissed anyone before. Then again, neither had I. Instinctively, my eyes fluttered shut, and my body melted into her kiss.
I could feel chills going down my spine as we broke for air. I couldn't open my eyes. She must have seen the expression on my face, because the next thing she said was, "Do you want more?" My body went rigid. "I-I, um...y-ye-"
     Before I even had time to finish she was kissing me again. Her lips were soft, and her tongue curious. There was nothing I could do to stop her, because my body wasn't responding to me. Also, I loved it.
     Stella was kissing me so deeply I could almost feel her passion and her love for me. As I realized this, the blush on my face grew warmer.

     The seconds felt like an eternity until she pulled away and sat up straight again. "Did you like that?" Stella asked. Breathless, I thought about how to respond, lifting a hand to my lips. She ran her left thumb over her right palm, and then giggled. "I really do love you, y'know."

That's it.
Just a short scene about what technically could've been.
You may know Stella's canonical love interest but if you don't I won't spoil.
Now I'm out.
Ciao
