“Let’s not ruin this with talk of shitty parents.”She kissed the inside of my thigh, sending sparks down my spine.“I’m just thrilled to have you now.My brilliant, alchemist’s assistant, research-pro witch.You’re incredible, Temps.”
“You are, too, Lizzie.Mybrave, outspoken, doesn’t take shit from anyone,morrighanwitch.I…I love you.”
Lizzie’s eyes flared wide for a moment, but immediately softened, her smile going proud and devious all at once.
“And here I was holding back on the L word.”She chuckled, shifting in closer to my throbbing pussy.“I love you, too, Temps.Now, the next words out of your mouth better be ‘I’m coming.’Or I’m going to spank your fine ass.”
I went to laugh, but it was abruptly cut off as Lizzie’s mouth found my seam, her tongue sliding through my folds and swirling around my clit.I arched against her, gripping the sheets until my knuckles ached.She alternated between delicate flicks and hard sucks, driving me right to the edge.I was already so damn close, so worked up from everything else, and then her finger pressed into me.
“Ugh!”
Lizzie reached up with her other hand, grabbing my breast and gripping tight.Then another finger slid in as she pulled back enough to whisper, “Shh, baby girl.You’ll wake the entire dorm.”
It took everything I had, including chewing on my knuckles, to be quiet as Lizzie pumped her fingers in and out of my pussy, finding my G-spot and pressing hard as she lightly sucked on my clit.I was barreling toward release, on the precipice of flying off into the cosmos.Flinging my hand to the side, I reached for Lizzie’s hand on my breast, spearing my fingers through hers so I could hold it.
“I’m…I’m…I’m…”
She released my clit with a loud pop, and I peeked down to see her looking up at me.With a smile, Lizzie crawled up my body, still moving her fingers inside me, and then her lips were on mine.I could taste myself on her tongue as she increased speed, yanking her fingers free to rub briskly over my clit.I cried out into her mouth, still holding her hand as I wrapped my arm around her neck.
“Come for me, Temps.”
“Lizzie, ugh,” I buried my face into the crook of her neck.“Lizzie.”
And with that, I shattered, coming so hard I actually saw stars.It powered through me for several moments, and then the two of us were just lying there in the bed.I was curled up into Lizzie’s arms on my side, her chin resting on my head.She held me against her, and I felt so safe and seen in her arms.
Like magic.
“Now,I’dliketostart tomorrow with something a little different.”Caleb’s voice boomed through the classroom, and we all took note, straightening in our chairs, except for Lizzie, of course.
“What I’m about to discuss with you might be a little unsettling, but I believe understanding the basics of spellcasting comes with understanding whether or not you’re being lied to.Not by someone but my ‘magic.’”
Caleb used air quotes on the last word, and both Lizzie and I looked at each other.My brain pinged with what we’d talked about yesterday, the false idol and supposed “god,” and I had to assume that our professor was doing his best to prepare all the students for what could very well be on the horizon.Lizzie nodded back at me when I pointed at my notebook and drew a picture of the cult symbol we’d found.She definitely agreed with me.
Still, I had to wonder if Caleb would get in trouble for changing the lesson plan or bringing up something that might have been over the students’ heads.
Like he’ll get in trouble for fucking us?
Jumping slightly, I snapped my attention back to Lizzie.Are you in my head?
She smiled at me, shrugging.It’s a lot easier now that we fucked.You’re not pushing me out like usual.But I can go if—
Ugh, no.It’s fine.Just warn me, Lizzie.I almost choked on my spit.
Oh no.I’d much rather you choke on my spit.
Lizzie, gross.I rolled my eyes, gesturing back at Caleb.Focus.
“Fighting false magics starts with being aware of them.You need to be able to clock a spell, twist, or curse before it’s coming at you.Please go to section fifteen in your books.Look for figure eleven-A and read from there for tomorrow’s assignment.Class is dismissed.”
The students funneled out of the classroom, and again, Lizzie and I stayed behind, sitting in our chairs and waiting to speak until the room was totally empty.When it was, I was the first to speak up.
“So what was that about?Are you trying to clue in the students about something or—”
“I found something last night when I went back to my apartment.I have a book on false magics that I’ve been hanging onto for years, and since I couldn’t look at the books from the library, I thought, what the hell.”
Lizzie leaned forward on her elbows, resting her chin on her hand.“So what’d you find?Because something tells me that the section in our spellcasting 101 book you assigned, ain’t going to cut it when it comes to whatever is killing these people.”
“Always so direct.”Caleb grinned, his stare narrowing on Lizzie in a suggestive way that I watched him visibly fight back.For once, I was with Lizzie on something.Caleb just needed to let that society stuff go.I was actually happy, for the first time in years, maybe ever, and I wanted him to feel the same.
