Chapter Text
One Saturday morning, in the brisk air of autumn, Dani Clayton wakes up to a severe case of Jamie. She couldn’t have explained it if she tried, but from the minute she wakes up, all she wants is her girlfriend.
Yes. Like that. Well, not just like that, but definitely, a lot like that. Mostly like that.
Almost a year together, living together, running a business together, and Dani still wasn’t used to how blissfully happy just being with another person could make you. Although she always found herself wanting to be close to Jamie, some days she just woke up, well, hungry.
Every now and then, her need seems to swell like a giant wave, and Dani is never quite sure what to do with it. Well, she knows what to do with it, she just doesn’t quite know how she feels about it all. At first she’d been petrified that it was the beast, acting out in strange ways – but the ghost in her depths had been quiescent for some time, and she could find no taint in her emotions.
And so, some days, she just wakes up like this.
It’s early. The shop opened at nine on Saturdays, unless they had a wedding or function to cater to, and closed at midday. Then their afternoon and Sunday off stretched out in front of them, free for the taking. Dani could hear the shower running from here, and her mind is filled with thoughts of water sluicing down lightly tanned skin. She can hear off key Madonna.
Dani slides out of bed, and pads to the small bathroom across the way. She lets herself in, and between the steam and a tune that meanders like a stream, Jamie doesn’t seem to notice. Stripping off her pyjamas, she steps into the shower and manoeuvres behind Jamie.
“Fuck!”
Dani reaches out, catching Jamie by the arms as she jerks, almost slipping on the tiles. “Whoah, careful.”
So much for surprising your girlfriend.
“Blimey Poppins you scared the living daylights out of me.”
Dani pulls Jamie back against her, cradling her and moving them both under the warm water stream, nuzzling into the side of her neck. “Sorry.”
“S’ok. Maybe warn a girl next time eh?”
Dani would, but that wasn’t the point of surprise. She supposes that accidentally fractured bones are also not the point, so she concedes.
For a moment Dani just holds her, absorbing her warmth, smell, touch. But Jamie is naked, and wet and slippery in front of her and Dani’s patience is non-existent this morning.
Her hands move up and down Jamie’s sides, move to her ribs. She splays her fingers across the delicate bones and nips Jamie’s earlobe. In response she feels Jamie’s ribs expand with an intake of air.
“Oh....,” Jamie tilts her head to the side, making room for Dani’s mouth, hot and purposeful, seeking out all of the places she knows drive Jamie crazy. “I see. That kind of morning is it?” Her voice hitches, a shudder running through her.
“Uh huh,” Dani grabs the soap and generously lathers up her hands. “God you feel good.”
She soaps her way up Jamie’s abdomen to her breasts, cupping them from behind and thumbing across her nipples until they tighten firm and ready. She slowly pinches one, and then scratches a nail across it. She will never be over how sensitive Jamie is here, and what a privilege it is to be able to make her feel like this.
A gasp. “Poppins… we have a shop… to open.”
Dani ignores her, mouth moving down to Jamie’s shoulder and teeth latching gently. Then not so gently. “Then we’ll have to be quick.”
Her hands and mouth move in tandem, hot, wet and erotic. She loves that she has options now – for drawing things out and making them last, or for hurtling head first towards a goal.
“Fuck… fuck Dani…”
God she loves it when she gets Jamie worked up like this. She loves that her touch, her feelings can be reciprocated so fast, so boldly. She gently cups her breasts again, and then runs one of her hands down the flat plane of muscular abdomen to the juncture of Jamie’s thighs.
“I think, the plan, is to fuck Jamie,” she murmurs into an ear, grinning.
Jamie moans, reaching out and placing her palms flat on the shower tiles. She spreads her legs like an offering and Dani’s own centre gives an appreciative clench. That Jamie is so open to her, wants her just as much as she wants Jamie, is the most arousing thing Dani has ever felt.Every time it feels like a gift. Dani moves her hand down, brushing through fine curly hair and slipping lower. She finds Jamie already wet and groans at the feeling.
“Don’t tease…” Jamie whimpers. “Please, we… we need to… Fuck” The last word is bitten out as Dani finds her straining clitoris and begins turning circles, sliding her fingers over the slippery bundle of nerves and coaxing it to become even harder. She pulls Jamie back against her, pinching a nipple and biting down again on her shoulder, less gently this time. She knows the triple attack will work fast.
“Christ.. Christ…” Jamie’s hips begin to move, bucking against Dani’s hand as she moves her fingers lower. At this angle, penetration isn’t really an option, but if she scissors her fingers around Jamie’s clit, she can slide down, to her entrance, just tease at fucking her, and then back up. Later. Later she can take Jamie apart from the inside out.
From the trembling in Jamie’s body, she knows it’s was working. She sucks down on her bite mark, deliberately leaving a bruise that will be hidden under clothes. She’ll know its there. She’ll be able to tell all day. Fuck. She’ll be able to think about it all morning while they worked – a plan she knows will probably backfire.
“Dani… Dani I…” Jamie’s hips move faster, her hands shaking against the wet tiles. Dani moves her mouth up to Jamie’s ear.
“You going to come for me baby?” Rhetorical question. She knows Jamie’s body so well now, she can sense the precipice. It’s the words she wants. She wants to hear Jamie say it.
“Yes… fuck…. Yes…”
Dani concentrates on every stroke, maximising contact with Jamie’s straining clit until Jamie’s thighs clench together and she cries out, panting her climax into the hot steam of the shower. She sags back against Dani, who cradles her, gently kissing her ear, her temple, any skin she can find.
When Jamie is finally able to stand, she turns around, eyes flashing with arousal. She pulls Dani in for a bruising kiss, teeth and tongue and hunger. Dani nearly caves, her own arousal flooding her body after watching Jamie come.
But the shower is cooling and she knows what time it is. Reluctantly she pulls back, leaning her forehead on Jamie’s panting.
“We can’t. We have a shop to open.”
“Well… bugger.”
Dani laughs. “You can owe me one.”
“Owe you one? You ambushed me!”
Dani steps out of the shower, and grabs two towels, handing one to Jamie. “You complaining?”
Jamie sighs. “No…. Yes…. Okay no not really.”
Dani grins knowingly, and heads off to continue getting dressed. They do make it to the shop in time to open. Kismet is working in their favour because it’s a slow first hour and they can get everything they need done in the curtailed time.
It’s not working in Dani’s favour necessarily since watching Jamie move around the shop lightly, humming to herself with her hair set back in a bandana, is somewhat akin to torture. It’s not like working in a shop is overly erotic but her arousal hasn’t abated since this morning, and all she really wants is to get her hands on Jamie.
It’s about ten am when she realises that Jamie is not, in fact, oblivious to this. Worse, she’s actively now doing little things to encourage it and the teasing has Dani almost at breaking point. They’re technically innocent, each gesture along, but put all together they stoke the fires that have been glowing since morning and Dani thinks she might be going out of her mind.
There’s the light touches, a finger across the back of her hand. There’s the finger that traces across the small of her back, just above her jeans – whilst Dani is serving a customer of all things. Jamie oh so innocently sliding past to “grab” something she needs and talking politely to said customer while touching Dani.
There’s the looks, slightly smouldering, and with knowing yes. There’s a goddamn wink in there, a wink. The nerve of some people.
Then there’s the fucking point in time when Jamie just lifts a hand to where the bite mark is and rubs it, ever so gently through her shirt while looking directly at Dani.
That’s the one that really makes Dani lose it.
For the moment the shop is empty. She strides out from behind the counter, grabs Jamie by the wrists and hauls her into the back room before Jamie can even finish the sentence: “Hey, Poppins wha-”
She cuts her off with a bruising kiss, framing her face with hands and dipping her tongue into Jamie’s mouth. She tastes her, devours her, hungry for so much more.
Jamie gets the idea, and swings them around, pushing Dani up against the door and wedging her there, a knee coming up between Dani’s own. She grabs Dani’s hips and starts them moving while she kisses her like they might die. Dani grabs the back of Jamie’s shirt, holding on for dear life as she rides, yes fucking rides, Jamie’s thigh.
She could come like this. Fuck, she could definitely come like this, arching against the door while Jamie bites down her neck. She imagines Jamie’s hand popping the button on her jeans, sliding in, how wet she’d find Dani.
And then the shop door bell goes and they both freeze. Dani is panting, and Jamie is too. They break apart and Jamie is the first to rearrange herself, significantly less mussed up than Dani anyway.
“I’ll get that one shall I?” She gives Dani the cheekiest grin imaginable and slips out the door.
It’s fairly steady from then on, and Dani uses every single bit of mental fortitude she has to get through.
She does the days tally so fast that honestly, she’s very surprised when it reconciles perfectly. Frankly, it could have been several hundred dollars off with all the ability she has to perform higher functions right now.
And Jamie is looking at her, smiling, knowing.
“Lunch?”
Dani knows she isn’t serious, but that doesn’t stop her looking Jamie straight in the eye and bluffing straight back.
“Sure, I need to do some shopping anyway.”
Two can play at that game Dani decides. Anyway, there’s an idea that’s been brewing in her head all morning, and she can’t shift it. Actually, it’s been brewing in her head for months, since she and Jamie had stumbled across the topic one day, but today, it’s really rearing it’s head.
“Shopping?”
Dani grins and comes around the counter, checking that the sign is flipped to closed, before she leans in and says softly in Jamie’s ear.
“Yeah, I thought maybe we could get around to buying that thing we talked about awhile ago.”
She’s looking straight into Jamie’s eyes when her brain finally registers what Dani is talking about, and they widen. “Really?” It comes out as a squeak, an adorable Jamie squeak.
Dani grins. “Yep. Really.”
