“Wait, what?”
Dina crossed her arms across her chest and quirked an eyebrow. “You named the stakes.”
Ellie spluttered out her indignation. Dina grinned, inordinately pleased with herself.
They had been hiking along a ridge overlooking a shallow canyon when they sighted the deer. Dina asked to use Ellie’s bow and was met with a sarcastic ‘sure.’
“You don’t think I can?” Dina countered.
Ellie just shrugged and shoved her hands in her pockets. “It’s pretty far,” she stated. “Wouldn’t want to waste the arrow.”
Dina could tell from the quirk of Ellie’s lips that she was goading her, seeing how far she would take it. Ellie really should know her better by now.
Dina snorted and drew the bow, getting a feel for the tension from the cord. “What do you want to bet?”
Ellie’s smile was wide as she considered. Dina saw her smug expression. “Sexual favors?”
“Oh, game on,” Dina said, already sighting down her quarry. They were downwind, so the doe hadn’t detected them. It was small, just older than a fawn, but more than enough meat to sustain them for days. It would fortify their meager supplies and ease some of the concern that had been nagging at Dina every time she took stock of their food.
She planted her feet firmly, drew calm, deep breaths while she studied her angle. Her assurance must have worried Ellie, because she fidgeted next to her.
“Nervous?” Ellie asked.
Dina rolled her eyes. “Whatever. Stop distracting me.”
She heard the antsy scuff of Ellie’s feet behind her, which only bolstered her confidence. She took a deep breath, and the string snapped home on her exhale. The deer was down, an arrow piercing its neck.
“Fuck, yeah!”
Ellie groaned and rocked back on her heels. But she was still smiling. The entire bet, after all, was a win-win for both of them.
Dina handed the bow back and considered. She’d been mulling over an idea since the first time they used the strap on, and the thought alone had her so turned on. She had given herself to Ellie so many times, but usually on her terms. The idea of giving Ellie complete freedom to do whatever she wanted whenever she wanted made her gut twitch. This seemed like the perfect opportunity to bring it up.
And that’s where they were now.
“I just,” Ellie started, rubbing the back of her neck. She frowned, and uncertainty prickled at Dina.
“You’re not into it.”
Ellie sighed and shook her head. “It’s not that.” She huffed another breath, looked everywhere but at Dina. “You miss him?” she asked quietly. Dina had to process a moment before the implications of what Ellie said hit home.
“This isn’t about Jesse,” she said.
Ellie frowned at her feet, scuffed the dirt some more. “You wish I were some random guy, then?”
Dina reached out and grasped Ellie’s hand, directing her to meet her gaze. Despite all the years of knowing her, Ellie’s insecurities still managed to take Dina by surprise.
“El, I don’t give a fuck about guys. Stop being dumb.” Ellie still looked skeptical, so Dina stepped into her space, leaned in. Her cheek brushed Ellie’s, her lips inches from her ear. “I just get so hot thinking about you holding me down with both hands while you fuck me.”
Ellie’s shuddered exhale told Dina that she had her complete attention. Still, when she drew away, Ellie’s eyebrows were knit together.
“Why do you want me to wear it all day?”
Now, under Ellie’s scrutiny, Dina felt that nervous prickle again. She bit her lip, considered backpedaling, but spoke before she could think better of it.
“I like not knowing when you’re going to use it.”
****
Ellie’s entire body warmed at Dina’s matter-of-fact confession. Not for the first time, Ellie marveled at how she had this effect on Dina. She didn’t feel worthy. Even now, after they shared so much of themselves with each other, it felt like a gift every time Dina asserted desire for her. It was almost too much for her to accept, but she hastily recovered when she noticed just how nervous Dina looked now. Dina never looked nervous.
Ellie reached out and clasped their hands together, pulled her in close. Their kiss was soft, and when they pulled away, Ellie offered her a shy smile.
“Okay.”
****
Ellie retreated to privacy, pulling her pants off and feeling oddly exposed. She fiddled with the straps and after a second of consideration, pulled down her boxer briefs. Aligning the dildo and tightening the buckles had an unexpected effect on her. Warmth suffused her body, a cloying ache deep in her core as the base of the toy tugged tight against her. While she knew Dina thoroughly enjoyed using the toy, Ellie hadn’t considered that just wearing it could be a turn on.
Her briefs fit over it easily, but then there was the business of getting her pants up. Her tight jeans forced the toy against her much more securely, and she bit her lip and stifled a moan. Fuck, she was going to be useless with this thing. And suddenly it occurred to her – Dina must have known how hot it would feel for Ellie to wear. She snickered and shook her head, jamming the dildo in her pants along her left thigh and decisively zipping up. She’d definitely make Dina pay for this torture.
But then, as she picked her way back to the lip of the canyon, and when Dina turned her eyes on her, she forgot how to breathe.
Even from a distance, Ellie could see Dina’s breath hitch, her eyes wide as she stared between her legs. She walked as casually as possible, feigning a nonchalance she was nowhere near feeling. The sight of Dina, slightly flushed, set against the backdrop of golden light, whole and real and alive, made Ellie want to throw her down right there. Pin her down and fuck her until her cries echoed across the wide expanse below them. Deer be damned. Instead, Ellie reminded herself that she had a score to settle, and determined to tease Dina as long as she could.
Ellie held Dina’s gaze, and all she could see was the fire in her big brown eyes. She strolled right by and climbed on top of Shimmer, reaching out a hand to help Dina up. She grinned at the pained expression on Dina’s face and she just blew out a long breath and shook her head. Dina took Ellie’s hand and settled behind her, and as Ellie led Shimmer down the trail towards their fallen prey, she felt the ghost of a breath against her ear.
“Jerk.”
****
Riding Shimmer was a mistake. Every step pulsed through her body, the toy shifting and pushing against her already aroused body. Wildly, she thought she might just come from the short ride, and she had to steady her breathing and count back from one hundred to distract herself.
Dina kept her arms wrapped tight around her waist, leaned into her, rested her cheek against her back. Her steady warmth was comforting, while also adding to the torture.
Ellie was just beginning to get herself in a pleasant rhythm of distraction, when she heard the low timber of her girlfriend’s tone.
“Baby, I don’t think I can wait.”
And there it was, offered like a gift; Dina’s vulnerability delivering another bloom of warmth deep in her gut. Ellie inclined her head slightly, curled her lips in a smile. While she definitely wasn’t as much of a natural as Dina was at talking dirty, she was a quick study.
“What makes you think you have a say in it?” Dina’s sharp intake of breath instantly allayed Ellie’s flush of embarrassment. She steadied her nerves and forged on. “Might fuck you when we get down this canyon, or I might make you wait for it all day.” She tried to keep her voice light, as if it didn’t matter to her one way or the other, and she swore she felt Dina’s shuddered breath against her back.
Then it occurred to her just how much of this was about her. Dina’s proposal placed her square in the center of Ellie’s mercy, and it spoke of her deep and unwavering confidence in her. It wasn’t just about the sex; it was about reminding Ellie that she trusted her. She felt foolish for ever considering that Dina was trying to reproduce her experience with Jesse.
Dina groaned somewhat theatrically, but Ellie picked up on the underlying impatience. She smiled to herself and couldn’t deny that this was all very thrilling.
****
They made it to the deer, and just in time. As they were dismounting, they heard the shuffle and babble of Runners battering their way through the woods. Ellie drew her bow, and Dina steadied her machete. By her estimation, there were only a two or three Runners approaching, and Ellie ignored the dense weight between her legs while sighting down her bow.
The first of the Runners burst into the clearing, spotted them, and lurched forward. Ellie’s arrow snapped its head back, and it tumbled to the ground, the remaining Runners hurling themselves forward. Ellie downed another one and Dina slashed through the last one’s face with one great, vicious swing.
Watching Dina right herself, teeth still bared as she assessed the status of the Runner crumpled at her feet, Ellie’s gut flipped and she blazed with lust. Not for the first time, Ellie almost forgot how to breathe when she took in Dina’s features, her strength. She practically vibrated with life, bright and solid and everything Ellie never imagined she’d find. The persistent pressure between her legs wasn’t helping her situation, and Ellie had to stifle back a groan.
Dina caught her staring, and her expression shifted into a knowing smile. She closed the distance between them slowly, holding her gaze, and leaned up into Ellie’s space.
“Like what you see?” she murmured, tone smooth and so, so seductive. Ellie’s pulse leapt into her throat and she had trouble swallowing. She was altogether too hot, burning under her skin. Again, she had to refrain from shoving Dina up against a tree, ripping down her jeans, and sliding right into her.
Instead, she rocked back on her heels, more to get a little space from Dina than anything else, and raised her eyebrows.
“What do you think?” she asked, resting a hand along her thigh right next to the bulge in her jeans.
Dina’s eyes shot downward and Ellie watched her throat work around an involuntary groan. She shut her eyes and Ellie would have sworn that Dina gave herself a ten count before fixing her with a narrowed stare.
“You’re the worst,” she said, turning and heading over to the deer. Ellie grinned.
“You love it.”
****
Somehow, they pushed past their desire and found an appropriate camp site, hauling the dear with the help of Shimmer. Breaking down the animal was tedious, messy work, but at least it gave Ellie the chance to concentrate on something else besides Dina. The process was almost meditative, and if it wasn’t for the unrelenting friction between her legs, she would have forgotten entirely about the fire in her belly.
When they had the deer broken down into manageable pieces, smoking over their campfire, they took the opportunity to wash themselves off in the river.
Though it initially irritated Ellie that they were taking an entire day to bolster their food supply, she couldn’t deny that she wasn’t upset by the turns the day had taken. She was positive she had never been this turned on in her life, and she stole glances at Dina and saw the flush on her complexion, the way her pulse fluttered in her throat. She had no doubt that Dina was in the same state as her.
And as they were picking their way back to camp, it occurred to her to do something about it.
Warmth pooled between her legs as she stepped behind Dina, ready to make her desire from earlier a reality. She grasped Dina’s hips and drove her up against the nearest tree. Her breath choked past her lips and Ellie’s satisfaction rippled through her body. She rolled her hips against Dina’s firm ass and Dina’s groaned ‘fuck’ lit up all of Ellie’s senses.
Ellie beat back the haze of her desire and leaned against Dina, her mouth ghosting over her ear. Dina’s breath shivered past her lips, and Ellie almost lost her mind when she pushed her ass back into her hips.
“You gonna be good, baby?” Ellie husked, amazed at the words that tumbled from her. “You gonna take my cock?”
And Dina whimpered, and it was all Ellie could do not to come just from the sound. She dragged her teeth against the skin of her neck, biting down with a little more force than usual. Dina choked out a startled grunt, and Ellie laved the skin with her tongue. “Hmmm?” she murmured.
Dina was shaking now, propping her head against the cradle of her arms against the tree. Ellie slipped her fingers underneath the hem of her shirt, digging in to the tender skin of her hips. A strangled whimper escaped Dina’s lips, and Ellie was dizzy with lust.
“Yes,” Dina gasped, and Ellie loosened her grip. She reached around and unbuckled Dina’s belt.
“Yes, what?” she demanded as she lowered the zipper of her fly. Dina groaned, the sound impatient and needy, as Ellie slipped her hand inside her jeans and cupped her. Dina’s hips jolted forward, seeking further friction, but Ellie followed the movement, and did nothing more than remain holding her. She ran her fingers against the soaked cotton underwear. Again, a wave of vertigo coursed through her and idly she thought it was probably because all of her blood was pooling down between her legs.
Another needy sound bubbled up from Dina’s throat. “I’ll be good for you,” she moaned. Ellie rewarded her by slipping her fingers underneath her panties, tangling them in the soaked curls.
She leaned closer, her lips brushing Dina’s, both of them open and panting and so ready. “I’ll take your cock,” Dina whispered, and Ellie’s body betrayed her by the deep shudder that coursed through her frame. She moaned, slotting their lips together. It was a sloppy, passionate kiss, one that ended abruptly when Ellie pulled away to shimmy Dina’s jeans down her thighs.
She stepped away briefly to wrestle with her own pants, but kept a steadying hand against the small of Dina’s back. The sight before her was glorious; Dina braced against the tree, panting and writhing, the curves of her legs golden in the afternoon sun. Ellie pulled her own pants and briefs down and a shock rippled through her gut at the sight of the toy. She had forgotten how big it was, but she wasted no time in pushing herself up against Dina, making herself known, and Dina gasped out a cry.
Ellie had never seen her this undone, and another thrill shot through her body. She could see it, impatience and desperation in all the minute ways Dina moved. Instead of teasing her, Ellie aligned the toy against her wet folds and rocked her hips forward.
Dina’s cry was elated, and Ellie gasped as she slid inside of her so effortlessly. “Fuck.”
Ellie rested her head against Dina’s back, panting. The heavy ache in her own body threatened to burst, but she distracted herself by pressing her lips against Dina’s neck, soft and featherlight. Dina writhed against her, and she wrenched around and met her in a dizzying kiss. Ellie ran her hands under Dina’s shirt, fingertips skimming her rib cage and finding the soft swell of her breasts. Dina broke the kiss and whined, low and loud, and the words that she uttered next quavered with need.
“El, please.”
Ellie didn’t waste any time. She started slowly, pulling out only slightly before rocking back against her. Every tiny movement she made seemed to ripple through Dina, and Ellie was woozy again. Her blood seemed to crackle under her skin, every sensation aching hot and heavy between her legs. She tightened her hold on Dina’s breasts, nails digging into the soft flesh.
“Fuck, yes,” Dina growled.
Ellie had sex with Cat only a handful of times, and it was mostly fumbling and sweet and soft. Having Dina as a partner, Ellie had to catch on quickly that, more often than not, Dina wanted it rough. It took gentle coaxing to outright teasing for Ellie to get it. But when she did, it was like a switch flicked inside of her, and she could rely on her intuition for how and when.
Dina liked to be marked up. So, Ellie dug her nails in until she yelped, then swiftly moved her forearm across her shoulders and pinned her flush against the tree. She had Dina balanced on her tiptoes, cock buried inside her, while she held her there. Dina’s chest heaved, she was whimpering, and Ellie ran her teeth along her neck while trying to catch her own breath.
“You want it hard, baby?” she crooned. Dina sobbed and nodded her head, and Ellie forced her body tighter against hers. She braced both forearms across Dina’s back, holding her still as she dragged the cock almost all the way out. Dina shivered and gasped, and Ellie snapped her hips forward. Dina’s throaty wail was as abrupt as her movement as Ellie began a steady, brutal rhythm.
Her arms against Dina were as much to keep her on her feet as they were holding Dina in place. Her ragged gasps and Dina’s cries drowned the slap of her hips against Dina’s ass. Ellie was teetering along the edge of her own orgasm, desperately trying to keep herself from falling over the edge until Dina was satisfied.
She grunted, sweat stung her eyes, and she only increased her pace. Ellie jolted out of her rhythm when she spotted blood staining the bark where Dina’s arms were pinned, but Dina’s voice was ragged and urgent, gasping out words that spurred Ellie on.
Ellie’s heart was about to burst from her ribcage. She swelled with satisfaction, about to overflow with affection for this woman that submitted herself so readily to her. That Dina trusted her so thoroughly stunned her, and she resolved to honor that any way she can.
“Harder,” Dina gasped. Her body strained, still and tight, before Ellie slammed back inside of her and she howled out her release. The sound shivered across Ellie’s fine hairs and burst between her own legs, and Ellie’s orgasm ripped through her body. Dina quaked and shivered between Ellie and the tree as Ellie deliriously kept her pace, gasping. Her own pleasure took on an edge of pain before Dina, boneless, choked out something that sounded like she’d had enough.
Ellie collapsed against her, shuddering and panting, face prickling with warmth. Her eyes stung while she took stock of all of her limbs. Most of her had become numb from pleasure, and sharp sensation crept back into her extremities. Her body tingled, and she realized Dina was probably very uncomfortable.
She braced her palms against Dina’s hips, worried over how loose her limbs seemed to be. She eased her hips back gently and Dina hissed through her teeth, but encouraged her to keep going.
Just as Ellie feared, Dina stumbled a little, and Ellie awkwardly folded her arms around her and slid them to the ground. She twisted so that her back was against the tree and Dina flopped between her legs, wrapped in her arms. The toy awkwardly pressed against Ellie’s stomach and Dina’s back, their pants tangled at their ankles, but she was too spent to care.
Dina was trembling, and as their breathing evening out, Ellie murmured gentle words against her girlfriend’s ear, swept her lips against her neck, held her tighter. Blood smeared across Dina’s forearms where the rough bark broke flesh.
Dina hummed, her head lolling against Ellie’s shoulder as she nestled further into her. Ellie pressed her lips against her temple, nuzzled closer.
“Good?” she murmured.
Dina chuckled, snorting softly to herself.
“I think you broke me,” she giggled. Ellie grinned against her skin. Tree bark stuck uncomfortably against her lower back and her neck twisted at an odd angle, but Ellie couldn’t have cared less. She was elated, flush with the heady thrill of pleasuring Dina.
The sun’s golden rays were settling beyond the mountain range by the time they extricated themselves, Ellie unstrapping the toy before hitching up her pants. She coaxed Dina back to the river to tend to her cuts despite her exaggerated whining protest. Ellie’s chest swelled when she saw just how unsteady on her feet Dina was.
Dina caught her smiling.
“Proud of yourself?”
Ellie’s grin only got larger. She offered her a one shoulder shrug.
“Feeling a little cocky, yeah,” she replied, deadpan. Dina groaned and rolled her eyes, and Ellie chuckled.
“You’re such a dork.”
“You love it.”
