Summary
“The fruit is sweetest when you wait for it to ripen, do you not think?” Michaela said each word slowly, meaningfully, and Francesca felt her mind go blank.
“I — I do not know,” she managed to stutter out.
She watched as Michaela licked her bottom lip. “You don’t?” she echoed.
And then she reached up and wiped at the juice that was dribbling down Francesca’s chin with her thumb. “Well,” she started, looking down at her plum-stained thumb before placing it between her own lips. Francesca’s stomach clenched at the sight.
Michaela sucked her thumb slowly before letting it fall from her lips with a pop. She smiled knowingly up at Francesca. Francesca would not be able to take her eyes off Michaela’s lips — even if she tried.
She watched as Michaela breathed in and then parted her lips to speak. “The greatest pleasure awaits you still,” she said.
