~ Happy pride month, you gay hoes! Juneteenth was also yesterday, shout out to my beautiful black queens and kings :)
She was having second thoughts.
With the previous burst of confidence she had earlier, Anna was able to leave her room, quietly making her way outside to meet Serena. However, as the distance between the pair was slowly beginning to shorten, her nerves couldn't help but kindle with anxiety.
What if she looked like a complete fool?
Rejection was only minor compared to complete ridicule... She couldn't imagine Serena laughing at her but yet again, anything was possible.
For a woman who has been praised for her beauty and talents, Anna was still haunted with constant insecurities. She was capable of masking her lack of perseverance with confidence and sarcastic remarks but underneath it all, she was nothing but a coward.
It were the reason she has been obedient to her mother for so many years. Even after becoming an adult, she couldn't help but overthink the consequences of standing up to the only person she could really count on besides her father. All she's known is what her mother has told her and even though she befriended those kind, servant girls who introduced her to a lot within adulthood, it was really Serena who fully opened her eyes.
Serena was like a cold bucket of water, poured over her head, waking her up from this nightmarish life of control and solitude.
On the outside, she appeared to have it all as without a husband holding her down she should have been free but what appears on the outside could be deceiving. Her mother chose her friends, who she spent her time with, her studies and her dresses.
Anna was living in this denial that she was actually granted the ability to chose her own suitor but deep down she knew that her mother had control over that as well. If she were to pick a man that was inadequate in her mother's eyes then her true colors would surely come to the surface especially if that were a woman...
Overall, Anna had no control over her life. Sometimes, she didn't even know if her personality was her own or if she was just playing the role her mother had given her.
She had her moments when the real Anna broke free, especially when she told off Francesca or this continuous rebellion of speaking to Ms. Gregory behind her mother's back.
Now, she was granted another opportunity of rebellion but this was much more scandalous. As she slipped out of the mansion using the unlocked door in the kitchen, she quietly walked around the building until she caught a drift of Serena's cologne.
There she stood, leaning against the wall of the mansion, cane in her gloved hand whilst staring up at the twilight sky, with its mixture of pink, purple and blue hues, as sunrise eased closer.
Anna's anxiety caused her to tremble but she blamed the coldness of the early morning dew instead. Each step she took closer towards Serena, her cowardly thoughts continued to run rampant hoping to pressure her into turning back around.
However, when Serena's eyes met hers, she knew there was no turning back.
Serena started walking towards the garden when Anna agreed to meeting her. She didn't want them to be spotted below Anna's window as it was practically situated at the entry way of the mansion.
She leaned against the wall, trying to piece together how she was about to tell Anna that this all had been a lie. Her stories weren't lies and her desires towards her weren't at all either but the premise behind her actions hadn't been pure. She wasn't doing this to help Anna or that was probably what she believed. She sympathized with Anna's situation but it were her curiosity and her greed for mind games which had ultimately thrown her into this affair of theirs.
Although she hadn't noticed, she had allowed her previous hurt to cloud her mind and if she didn't stop herself things would spiral into chaos between them.
She didn't want that.
Anna was a wonderful woman, deserving of so much more. It was saddening to think that she did not know what was beyond this borough. She was so close to London but yet so far away.
The bachelors arriving at her doorstep were nothing but amateurs and her mother had no idea what a gem her daughter was, whilst her father was too blinded by his wife to see between her prejudice.
If she were capable of providing Anna with what she truly needed in this life, she would have swept her away from this place without another thought. At one point, Serena believed that love was all that was needed but she was a fool to think that was the truth.
At the end of the day, she wasn't a man and the circumstances between them weren't forgiving. She would end this and even though she may be hated in the end, Anna wouldn't be as hurt if she was to continue this ruse.
All of this was about to crumble when her eyes met Anna, who was slowly starting to walk towards her.
It felt like her breath had been snatched from her body and in an attempt to fight her sinful desires, she kept her gaze on Anna's eyes alone. She knew if she allowed them to travel elsewhere, that all would be lost and she couldn't be selfish with Anna, she just couldn't.
"This is different from our usual meetings? What you have to tell me must be very important." Anna stated, baring a smile when she stopped in front of Serena.
She needed to clear the air and the stifling tension she was starting to feel growing between them before she went crazy.
There was an awkward silence between them as Serena thought of her response. She pulled away from the wall after some time, avoiding eye contact which was out of character for her and Anna took notice to that. She also took notice to something else as well.
She wouldn't have been able to ignore the feminine scent entangled in Serena's cologne even if she wanted to. She felt something stir inside of her, that jealousy she felt earlier at the ball when Serena danced with that woman. Her gaze darkened, a fire burning in her heart causing adrenaline to pump through her veins.
"Lady Robins I-" Serena finally found the courage to explain everything but was halted when Anna placed a hand on her lips, silencing her.
"Do you think I'm pretty Ms. Gregory?" Anna removed her finger and steps closer, cornering Serena against the wall.
"Why are you-" Serena's sentence was caught off by Anna before she could question what was going on.
"I asked you a question Ms. Gregory." Anna's tone was different and Serena was certain it was seductive but to think that was coming from the sheltered Anna would have been preposterous.
"Yes I do." Serena stated honestly and Anna hummed, pressing her soft breasts against her. Their height difference was notable in this position but it wasn't entirely excessive.
Serena could pat Anna's head easily but Anna would have to tiptoe to accomplish such a task.
"And do you like kissing me?" She asked, running one of her hands across Serena's shoulder. She's wanted to touch her for as long as she could remember and now she's actually living through her fantasies.
"Yes, I very much enjoy our kissing but I don't understand where you're carrying this conversation Lady Robins..." Serena whispers, her eyes no longer listening to her pleas as they fully took in Anna's appearance and her transparent dress.
The mounds of her breast pressed against her chest leads to a build up of lust in Serena's eyes but nonetheless, there's still some aspects of self-restraint that she's trying to hold unto.
She came to end things with Anna, not to take them further.
"Ms. Gregory, I'm fully aware of what you like and yet here I am, practically naked in this very thin dress. Is it not clear to you where I am trying to carry this conversation?" Anna teased, leaning up so she could whisper into Serena's ears.
"I know there's so much more you can show me and I don't think I can be patient with you any longer. Don't you want to touch me, Serena?"
The cane dropped to the floor but the sound was hardly recognized by Anna as it almost felt as though a tornado had struck them, resulting in their changed position. It was Anna's turn to be pressed against the wall, their bodies squashed together, almost like they had been perfectly made to suit one another.
Anna stared up at Serena, her courage vanishing within seconds when she sees the predatory look in the woman's gaze.
"Are you fully aware of all that comes with those words?" Serena warns, grabbing both of Anna's hands and pinning them above her head.
With widened and shocked eyes, Anna struggles to stay rooted. She shouldn't back down, not after everything she's said.
"Of course, I am." She states confidently regardless of the crack in her voice. Serena smirks and chuckles, a sound that causes Anna to close her legs tightly as the tension and heat between them travels down to her core.
"Is that so? Believe me when I say that I won't be able to stop once we start and... in my opinion, I don't think you can handle me." Serena tilts her head, her gloved hand beginning to run along Anna's thigh causing her to shudder.
"Just the smallest of touches and you're squirming like a worm. I must say I'm impressed by your performance earlier but we both know you suit the submissive role better."
Anna bit her tongue. Serena's words may have been true, but Anna had her pride.
"I think I can handle you just fine. Whatever you want to do to me, I'm willing to take it... unless you're too much of a coward to do anything." It was ironic, so very ironic but Serena didn't need to know that.
"Okay Anna, let's see how much you can handle."
Anna closed her eyes when their lips connected, but it was different from their previous kisses. The kisses shared amongst them had been passionate albeit gentle but this one was shadowed with lust and Anna was scared she would be consumed by it.
Those kisses were childish compared to this...
She continued to squirm against the wall, but Serena kept her still, squeezing her wrists to warn her.
Anna kissed back, she was no longer inexperienced and wanted to show Serena what she had learned. However, when Serena licked her bottom lip with her tongue, she moaned, and Serena took this opportunity to slide her tongue into her mouth.
Anna crumbled against the wall, her legs getting weak as she tried to keep up. This was the first time they kissed with tongue, her face flushed, and she could no longer blame the coldness for her trembling. Another moan slipped out when Serena's hand moved up her thigh to feel the curvature of her waist, moving the dress as she does.
Her legs remained closed shut, her juices soaking between them, and Serena smirked through the kiss which caused Anna to whine.
The sounds she were making were ridiculous but at least one of them found it entertaining. Serena pulled away from the kiss, nibbling on Anna's bottom lip as she does, before moving to kiss her jaw.
Anna was breathless, her lips slightly swollen and pink from the kiss, her legs felt weak as she was starting to slide down the wall slightly, but Serena kept her stable.
"Don't hide from me Anna. Open your legs for me." Serena whispered in her ears, her lips dragging across the tender flesh of her neck. She wasn't asking politely and when Anna didn't move as quickly as she should, Serena placed her knee between her thighs, forcing them apart.
"W-Wait." Anna pleaded, hoping to get just a mere second to catch her breath but Serena wasn't listening. Serena dropped Anna's hands to which she wrapped around her neck for support as she was lifted up against the wall.
"Wrap one of your legs around me." Anna shyly compiled and her dress only hoisted further up her waist leaving her bottom half completely exposed. However, Serena wasn't going to give her what she wanted just yet.
Her gloved hand moved up towards her breast and cups one of them, caressing them carefully, causing Anna to moan louder than she did before.
"Perfect in my hand." Serena teased as she started to pinch and flick Anna's nipples with her fingers. Anna was overtaken by the feeling, each flick and pinch causing a jolt of pleasure throughout her body.
"S-Serena... I-" Anna moaned, almost like she was begging, her fingertips pressing against Serena's nape.
"I like it when you say my name. Call me that from now on." Serena played with her nipples more. She sucks on two of her fingers to lubricate them and finally her bare hand goes between her legs.
"Tell me what you want Anna." Her fingers run across her slit, ever so slowly with just the littlest of pressure. "So wet... Is this all for me?"
Anna bit her lip, her head falling back against the wall as she shivered. It felt so good, but she wanted more so much more.
"Please..." She pulled Serena closer, her face buried in the crook of her neck. "Touch me more. Make me feel good."
"Your wish is my command."
Serena applied the needed pressure required to tip Anna over the edge, rubbing her sensitive clit with her thumb. Anna moaned loudly and her mouth was covered with Serena's gloved hand to keep her quiet.
"Shhh... We don't want anyone catching us in the act." She rubbed her clit faster, sliding a finger inside of Anna.
"Ah hah, someone isn't as innocent as they portray." She whispers as starts to thrust the singular finger inside of her, sliding a second finger inside which nearly causes Anna to scream in pleasure.
"Someone's been touching themselves. You take two so easily." Her fingers were slow to move, curling in just the right places as she begins to pump them.
The lewd sounds of Anna's need against her hand is her motivation. Desire melting her thoughts as her rhythm grows, itching to bring Anna to the edge.
She removed her hand from Anna's mouth, instead burying it into her hair and pulling as to expose her neck more clearly. She reminds herself not to leave any markings as to cause suspicion in the future, kissing and licking all the way down to her collarbone.
"My goodness! I can't-" Tears prick at the corners of Anna's eyes, a pressure desperately clawing in the pits of her stomach as Serena curls those two fingers against her heated core, coaxing for that explosive release.
"You can." Serena's voice is sterner than before, mashed together with dominance in every syllable, keeping her trapped against the wall. Anna had reached her limit but she had made the wrongful decision in seducing Serena.
Her kisses against her neck are gentle but coated in passion, leaving lustful memories in their wake. She's strong, keeping her pinned against the wall with her night dress hoisted above her waist.
What if someone sees them is one of the things running through her mind and embarrassingly it is what causes more wetness to coat Serena's fingers.
"Take it-" Her hot breath fans into her ear, her cologne rich and intoxicating. Anna's voice hitches, her senses in overdrive and her eyes full of white, gripping unto Serena's neck for dare life as those fingers increase in speed and intensity.
"And let me show you, what you've been missing."
Anna's nails begin to scrap Serena's neck causing her to hiss, the pressure within her building.
"Look at me... Look at who's doing this to you." Anna opens her eyes, staring up at those hazel eyes overshadowed with lust and soft features. It was just enough to tip her over the edge.
"Serena... Serena. I'm-"
Quickly, Serena places her gloved hand on Anna's mouth, muffling the scream as her orgasm takes her. She slows down her fingers, allowing Anna to ride out the waves of her high, her body shaking against Serena's chest and the wall.
Serena gradually removes her hand away from her mouth when she's positive that Anna is finished, removing her fingers from inside of her which causes one last moan to slip from her lips.
She engrained Anna's orgasmic expression into her brain, wishing to never forget it. Something about pleasing a woman was just enough to tip her over her own edge.
She didn't need to be touched but that didn't mean she didn't want to be. She just preferred to see a woman enjoying herself instead of her own needs.
Anna was a panting and sweaty mess by the end of it. Her hands released their grip on Serena as she tried to formulate words, move, anything but her body was spent.
"Are you okay?" Serena asked as her lust was wearing off and now she was concerned. Had she gone too rough?
Serena's words had gone unnoticed by Anna as her eyes shut closed, exhaustion taking her over as she collapsed against the woman's warm body.
Serena caught her before she could fall to the floor, worried at first but chuckling as she realized that Anna had only just passed out and was now soundly asleep. She pulled down her dress, deciding to leave her cane and retrieve it afterwards.
She lifts Anna bridal style, thinking about how she would get her into her room without getting caught. She looked down at the sleeping blonde as she walked, shaking her head.
"What are you doing to me Annabelle?"
