Arousal.

Alex’s legs trembled as Steph’s fingertips trailed down her spine, eliciting a soft moan from her lips. Their bodies tangled together, limbs entwined as if they had been separated for an eternity. The soft sounds of their passion filled the room, the gentle whispers of love and need.

Steph’s eyes searched hers, seeking permission, and Alex nodded, eager for whatever came next. Steph’s hand slipped between her thighs, her touch light and teasing. Alex gasped, her body arching into the contact. It had been so long since she had felt this way, so alive, so wanted.

Steph's mouth moved from her lips to her neck, kissing a trail of fire down to her collarbone. Alex's breaths grew ragged as she felt Steph's warm breath against her skin, her teeth nipping gently at her sensitive flesh. Then, with a grace that belied the urgency of the moment, Steph's head dipped lower.

Alex's legs fell open naturally as Steph's soft kisses continued down her chest and over her stomach. When her mouth reached the juncture of her thighs, Alex couldn't help the whimper that escaped her. The sensation of those full lips, that talented tongue, was heavenly. She felt the warmth of Steph's breath first, a gentle tease before the first swipe of the tongue.

Steph took her time, savoring every inch of Alex's body as if she were a delicious dessert. Her mouth moved with purpose, exploring and teasing, until Alex was a puddle of desire beneath her. The world outside the apartment had disappeared, and all that existed was the feel of Steph's tongue against her most sensitive parts. It was like nothing else mattered—not the past, not their fears or their futures, just the here and now.

Alex's eyes rolled back in her head as the pleasure built, her hands gripping the bedsheets tightly. The green aura around Steph grew brighter, a testament to her own desire. The connection between them was palpable, a silent symphony of passion and love that transcended words.

Steph's touch grew bolder, her tongue circling and dipping with a rhythm that made Alex's toes curl. The pressure grew, the intensity of the sensation threatening to consume her. Her breath came in pants, her body shaking with every stroke.

And then it hit—a crescendo of pleasure that crashed over her like a wave. Alex cried out, her hips bucking as she climaxed hard, her release painting Steph's mouth. The green aura around Steph grew brighter, pulsing with the power of the moment.

Steph didn't stop, though. She knew Alex, knew her body like a well-learned instrument. Her tongue worked its magic, riding out the waves of pleasure until Alex was left panting, her body trembling from the intensity.

When Alex could finally breathe again, she pulled Steph up, their bodies aligning. "My turn," she murmured, her voice thick with need.
