Finally, Michelle’s entire body stiffened and she arched her back, crying out as her orgasm rippled through her wave after wave. Jenna kept her tongue working on Michelle’s clit until Michelle’s body slackened and she released the tight hold she had on Jenna’s hair.
Before she sat back up, Jenna licked Michelle’s pussy from bottom to top enjoying the taste of her climax before planting a final kiss on her clit and looking up at Michelle with a satisfied smile.
Afterward, the room fell quiet except for Michelle's gradually steadying breaths. Jenna remained where she was for a moment, her head resting lightly against Michelle's thigh, feeling the tremors still running through the other woman's body. The release had been intense—all that pent-up tension finally finding an outlet—leaving Michelle limp against the mattress, one arm thrown across her eyes.
Jenna had deliberately kept the encounter focused on Michelle's pleasure alone. This wasn't about mutual satisfaction. It was about removing the barrier of unacknowledged attraction.
She raised her head, watching Michelle's face carefully. The vulnerability there was new. It would be so easy to push for more, to seek reciprocation, to transform this moment into something beyond the physical. But that wasn't why she'd made this choice.
Without a word, Jenna gently adjusted Michelle's clothing. The intimacy of the gesture—more tender than the act they'd just shared—made Michelle finally lower her arm, her eyes meeting Jenna's with an unreadable expression.
For a long moment, neither spoke. The silence stretched, filled with unasked questions and things left deliberately unsaid.
Finally, Jenna straightened, giving Michelle space to compose herself. She'd made her point and removed—temporarily at least—the distraction of denied attraction.
"This doesn't change anything," Michelle said, her voice rough-edged.
Jenna considered responding but ultimately chose silence. They both knew it had changed everything, regardless of what they might pretend. But Michelle needed the illusion of control regained.
"We're still partners on an operation," Michelle continued, sitting up and running a hand through her disheveled hair. "Nothing more."
"Of course," Jenna agreed quietly, taking another step back. Let Michelle have this fiction if it helped her process what had happened.
Michelle's gaze finally fully met hers, and Jenna saw the complexity there—relief and confusion, all warring beneath the surface. But the anger that had driven her earlier outburst was gone, replaced by something calmer, if no less complicated.
"You should go," Michelle said, the words lacking their earlier heat.
Jenna nodded, moving toward the door without argument. At the threshold, she paused, looking back at Michelle still sitting on the edge of the bed. Their eyes connected one final time, a moment of silent acknowledgment passing between them.
Then Jenna slipped out, closing the door softly behind her.
In the living room, the quiet felt different now—less charged, though no less weighty. Jenna moved to the window, staring out at the city lights without really seeing them. The practicalpart of her mind was already analyzing what had just happened, assessing potential consequences for their operation.
She'd taken a significant risk crossing a line that couldn't be uncrossed. But her instincts told her it had been necessary.
Still, doubt crept in as the adrenaline of confrontation faded. Had she overstepped? Used her insights into Michelle's vulnerability in a way that might ultimately damage their working relationship rather than strengthen it?
Jenna sighed, moving to the couch and sinking down onto it. Too late for second thoughts now. What was done was done. All that mattered was how they moved forward from here.
The sofa wasn't designed for sleeping, its fashionable lines prioritizing aesthetics over comfort. But Jenna knew returning to her bedroom—so close to Michelle's, separated by a wall suddenly thinner than it had seemed before—would be too suggestive of expectations beyond what had just occurred. Better to sleep here, give Michelle space.
She arranged the decorative pillows into a makeshift headrest and stretched out on the couch, not bothering to change into sleepwear. Though physical fatigue weighed on her, her mind remained alert, processing the evening's events and their potential implications.
From Michelle's room came silence. No movement, no sound to indicate her state of mind. Just quiet that could mean anything from peaceful sleep to tortured introspection.
Tomorrow would bring new challenges. The PWC investigation would continue, and their cover as a couple would require the same careful maintenance. But something fundamental had shifted between them, something that couldn't be undone or ignored.
As sleep finally began to claim her, Jenna's last coherent thought was that undercover work had always been aboutnavigating the blurred lines between truth and deception, between what was necessary and what was right.
Tonight had simply made those blurred lines visible in a way neither of them could deny any longer.

MICHELLE
Michelle woke with a start, her body tensed as if bracing for impact. Pre-dawn light seeped through the blinds, and for one disorienting moment, she couldn't remember where she was. Then reality crashed over her with merciless clarity.
The operation. The safe house. Jenna.
