Chapter 45

Sammy plopped down onto her bed, hands beneath her thighs, and kicking her feet back and forth. She looked around her room—small, but cozy—and said, “It’s not much, but by Tenet standards, it’s pretty nice. There’s perks to doing the guild’s busy work.”

“Beats the barracks, that’s for sure.”

She sat next to Sammy, who was grinning at her, obviously excited for the turn this night would be taking. Natalie returned the smile, equally as anticipatory, though admittedly nervous. Not because this sort of thing usually made her anxious—beyond the normal amount everyone was—but rather, the reveal of the night. The thing between her legs, which she had no clue how Sammy would react to.

The two of them had already been excited walking back to Sammy’s room, but now the giddy air had morphed into an electric one. In the privacy of Sammy’s room, the moment had arrived. Both knew the reason they’d hung out tonight—and by Sammy’s expectant expression, she was waiting for Natalie to get a move on. Her eyes were on Natalie’s lips.

While with Jordan Natalie had been timid, she had no such hesitations with Sammy. Spurred on by the warm buzz in her head, too, she shuffled forward, pressing closer to Sammy. Sammy leaned into her, tilting her head and closing her eyes. Natalie took the offer. Heart pounding, she pressed her lips into Sammy’s.

It stayed chaste, tentative, for about two seconds. Then Natalie pried Sammy’s mouth open, wanting to get to things, and knowing Sammy did too.

Natalie pushed Sammy over into her bed, crawling atop her, kissing her on the way down. The two shuffled over, getting better positioned in the middle of the bed, rather than half hanging off the ledge. It broke the kiss briefly, before Natalie returned to it with renewed eagerness. Sammy’s hands roamed Natalie’s back, tugging her in closer. Natalie basked in the taste of the older girl, delighting in her mouth and needy reciprocation. Her own hands started to stray.

Natalie leaned up, finally, straddling Sammy’s lap. There was something she needed to handle before things went much further. Sammy panted up at Natalie, red faced and excited, and confused why she’d pulled back.

“I should, uh, tell you something,” Natalie said.

“Okay?”

Natalie couldn’t imagine a way to handle this besides directly. To just say it. She fought past her nerves. “This might sound odd, but it’s not a joke. I, um. Have both parts. A cock, too. So if that’s not something you want ... or whatever ... then I guess...” she trailed off.

Sammy, obviously, couldn’t take the announcement fully in stride. She blinked, caught off guard. Her eyes flicked down, seeing, for the first time, the proof of Natalie’s claim. Their sloppy kisses from a few moments prior had worked her up, making the bulge clear, with Natalie literally sitting on Sammy.

“Oh,” Sammy said. She was quiet for several moments, taking the announcement in, and Natalie let her digest it. “Oh. Um. That’s...” She pursed her lips, then shrugged. “Okay. I don’t care, but—but I think I only want hands and fingers inside me? For tonight.”

“Of course.” Relief crashed through her. It was a much smoother acceptance than she could have hoped for. Plus, not going all the way—putting it inside Sammy—was probably for the best for Natalie, too. She’d brought a condom just in case, but taking things slowly ... that was more than fine.

And, fortunately, Sammy didn’t seem to care about the ‘how’. How Natalie had ended up with both parts. Maybe she was curious, but didn’t think it polite to ask?
