"Yes."

"Not to come."

"Yes."

"And you came."

"Yes."

A breath.

"You were right," Vivienne said, quiet.

"I know I was right."

"Say it to me."

"I am saying it."

"Say it closer. Say it so I can hear it above the blood in my ears."

Leo crossed the box.

She crossed it in two steps. She put her hand flat on the concrete wall beside Vivienne's head, as she had on Monday three and a half weeks ago in the living room, and she looked down at her. Her hand, at the concrete, was not, quite, steady. It was the lowest vibration of a hand that had had its adrenaline spiked three hundred seconds ago and not been given anything to do with it. Vivienne, who had trained herself in twenty-five years of rooms to read hands at low light, registered it.

"You were right," Vivienne said again, low.

"Yes."

"Now."

"Now."

"Use it."

Leo used it.

She got her hand up under Vivienne's jaw at the line of her throat, not squeezing, steadying, and she kissed her with a charged mouth and Vivienne took it, and gave it back, and made the tiniest sound of desire. Vivienne, tonight overall, was quiet.

Leo got the silk hem of the black dress up over Vivienne's thigh.

She was wearing nothing underneath. Leo gasped.

"Leo…. fuck me… we don’t have long.” Vivienne quivered in her arms.

Leo did not need long.

She had her hand between Vivienne's thighs in one movement. She had two fingers inside her feeling for her G spot in the next. The three fingers. Vivienne was already soaking wet. Vivienne had, Leo suspected, been wet for some time. Leo pinned her hip with the flat of her other hand against the concrete and fucked her quick, rough, without talk. Her jaw was at Vivienne's temple. Her thumb found her clitoris without hunting. Vivienne's hand went up behind her to the concrete, flat, pearl studs an inch from Leo's mouth, and she did not make a sound.

“Come for me,” Leo growled as she thrust into her and Vivienne’s breathing was ragged.

Vivienne murmured quietly, “I’m so close.”

Leo’s fingers thrust into her more, harder, deeper with her thumb persistent on Vivienne’s clitoris and she felt Vivienne’s body suddenly tightening around her fingers.

Vivienne came hard and silent on Leo’s fingers, Leo felt the beautiful pulsing of her vagina and the hot wet gush of liquid into her palm.

Beautiful. She kissed her neck.
