Always, Love (girlxgirl)
Mia's mom has been moving her around from state to state for years on end. One night, Mia and her mother were kicked out of their home, previously shared with one of her mother's temporary lovers. The two were forced to leave. Mia had no idea what was happening. Her mother seems to be keeping something from her. They fly to England that same night, and Mia's life will forever be changed. Read along as Mia's life shifts, and she falls in love with her protector; a mesmerizing woman named Jamie. Enjoy!! Disclaimer: This story involves a specific power dynamic. The romance between the two women are that of a stone top and pillow princess. (If you don't know what those are, I will leave descriptions of the terms below.) Stone top- a wlw (women loving woman) who prefers to not me touched sexually by their partner or dominated, and instead gets pleasure from dominating or "topping" their partner. Pillow princess- a wlw (women loving woman) who prefers to only receive sexual pleasure from their partner. A pillow princess is typically a bottom and enjoys being "topped". Why I decided on this dynamic: - I feel like this form of power struggle isn't talked about enough, ESPECIALLY pillow princesses. Being a pillow princess does not make you ANY LESS VALID in your sexuality!!! Sometimes people only like to hold one role in the sexual aspect of their relationship, and that's okay!! Mia is still a lesbian, despite her preference in only receiving. Just like how Jamie is still a lesbian, despite her preference in only giving. That's all!! Warnings include: Smut warning ⚠️ Fluff warning Heavy mentions of the mafia Mentions of gore later in the story⚠️ Brief mentions of sexual assault ⚠️ I hope you enjoy this girlxgirl story!! 💕
