Her lips were on mine so briefly that it was only fair I reached out and curled my fingers into her top to pull her back in for another kiss.

I felt her mouth spread into a smile against mine before sucking my bottom lip into her mouth as she took a step forward, pinning me into the shelves behind me. A soft moan rippled up my throat but Cher was quick to swallow it as our tongues tangled against each other.

She only pulled away to let me breathe and rejoined our faces in the middle of my inhale to peck my lips over and over again, with a satisfied hum each time. "Fuck you taste so good," She sighed, before stepping forward again and settling her knee in the space between my legs to shove them further apart and make space for her. Her mouth left mine as she began to kiss me all over my face. 

"Cher," I moaned softly, as she made a path from my face down my neck with her lips. Her hands found mine and she guided my fingers to her waist which I was quick to grab onto and pull her closer. She took in a deep exhale of my flesh and let out a sound from the back of her throat.

"And you smell like cherries," She commented giddily, before replacing her lips with her tongue. Her hands were greedy in their pursuit of rubbing everything they could touch before settling on my waist which she gripped onto before using the contact to drag me closer into her and rock my body against hers. Her mouth continued to move across my chest, sucking and biting each bit of skin before soothing the sting with her tongue again.

My right hand left her torso and ran up her waist, lingering on her breasts before settling into her long black hair which I buried my nails into. "Cher you're gonna leave a bruise," I warned but she didn't seem to care as she continued to suckle almost painfully on my shoulder blade. That or she didn't hear me, "Cher-

"Please don't make me stop," She groaned as she continued to plant wet kisses along my shoulder before replacing her lips with her tongue. "You don't know how long I've waited to do this," Her hands dug into my hips as she continued to grind into me, "How long I've had to pretend I didn't want to."

The admission had my body heating up from head to toe and I even found myself whimpering as she pressed herself harder into me. Her left hand reached up to untangle my fingers from her head and instead entwined our hands before pinning my wrist to the space above me. Her right hand gingerly ran its nails between the valley of my breasts before settling around my neck which she tilted up sharply to give herself more access to my skin.

I let my eyes flutter shut as I lost myself in the agonizing pleasure her tongue was giving me, our time limit and audience being the last thing on my mind as I let her do whatever she wanted to me with no complaints. Just as I felt a deep pressure build up in my lower stomach a shrill sound from outside the door reminded me of where we were.

As if she didn't hear it Cher continued to press chaste kisses up my chest and behind my ear until she settled back on my lips which she smacked her mouth against repeatedly before finally pulling away from me just as the door slammed open. Unfazed by what had happened, Cher walked out first with a little pep in her step that was easily disguised by her usual confidence.

I let the panting of my chest slow down before slowly stepping out of the closet behind her. My eyes immediately found the floor as they adjusted to the sudden brightness and I waited for the similar cheers that had gone on previously to erupt again but when they didn't I looked up.

Complete surprise covered the faces of all those in front of me, some even leaving their jaws on the floor as they stared at me. I wasn't too sure what had them so shocked until my eyes fell on Cher who was looking at me now. Slowly I looked away from the dark red lipstick that was smudged on her face as I finally understood what people were looking at.

"Damn, Cherry I didn't know you were like that," A voice quietly called out from the crowd, this began the hooting and hollering and I felt my face heat up but refused to act shy like I was embarrassed. Instead, I turned slowly to the boy nearest to me and asked if he knew where the bathroom was.

I ignored the suggestive smirk he shot me as he gave me directions, "Third on the right down that hallway," I nodded and tried to stay composed as I walked away from my curious and nosy classmates.

Now that I was in front of a mirror I could also see what had people so astonished. I looked like I'd been attacked by a vampire. Every inch of visible flesh showing from my low neckline long-sleeved shirt was covered in red. From kiss marks to darker bite marks to darkening hickeys.

She left nothing untouched.

When I tilted my head up I could see marks she'd left under my chin from when she forced my head up and when I turned my neck to the side I could see that she'd even left some lipstick on my shirt in her frenzy to paint my skin with her mouth. I bit back a small smile as I unrolled the tissue to begin wiping my flesh but found myself giggling when I realized the lipstick she'd left on my mouth was being quite stubborn to come off.

I definitely needed to leave my house more often.

When I finally came out of the bathroom and proceeded to make my way back to the party I found my steps slowing when I could suddenly hear an argument in one of the rooms over the loud noise of the music. "Imani you can't actually be serious right now."

"You've been basically pretending to hate her for three years now? Does that not sound crazy to you?!"

I inched closer to the door it was coming from, the muffled voices becoming clearer as I pressed my ear against the wood. "Even if I was, I don't see how that's any of your business," Cher replied sounding completely done with the conversation, "This literally has nothing to do with you."

"Nothing to do with me?!" Imani only seemed to get angrier, "We fucked!"

Cher groaned in annoyance, "People fuck people all the time!" She argued, her eyes immediately finding the door when I pushed against it too hard and it creaked open. Her expression melted into pure amusement when she found my gaze but lucky for me Imani didn't seem to notice.

"I took your virginity Cherubim!" She scoffed, "And you want to tell me that was nothing to you?"

My eyebrows raised at the admission, Imani took Cher's virginity? Jealous.

"Yeah actually that's exactly what I'm trying to say," Cher replied in a 'matter of fact' tone. "I don't even know why you keep bringing that up anyway, it wasn't like I was anything special to remember."

Imani laughed dryly, "You think I'm gonna forget sleeping with someone and them moaning out someone else's name when they came?!"

Red rushed to Cher's cheeks and I had a feeling it was less of being confronted about it and more of the fact that I was listening. I tilted my head, curious at what she was going to reply to that and her eyes found mine again and a different emotion filled them, "Can you blame me?" She questioned.

"What?" Imani asked but I knew she'd heard her.

"I said can you blame me?" She repeated, shamelessness dripping off of her every word. "You're so mad but you wanted her that night too," She continued, still staring at me before finally turning her gaze back to Imani. "There is no one better than Versailles Mostafah."

I took a step away from the scene and turned away from it completely as I felt a feeling I'd thought had long died bloom in my chest. I walked down the hall, in the opposite direction and further away from the party as I tried my hardest to get away from the noise.

It was only a few minutes later when I heard footsteps behind me.

I picked up the pace until I was walking through a living room, passing a couple that was making out drunkenly on a plush velvet couch as I made my way around the furniture towards the next hallway. "Angel," She called out behind me softly but I shook my head as if refusing to hear her and kept walking.

I tried every door as I made my way deeper into the house, looking for one that was unlocked so I could escape from my reality. When I finally found one I was quick to fling it open but just when I was about to shut it Cher slid inside and slammed it closed behind her. Without looking, she turned the lock with her fingers and pushed off of the door to approach me.

"It's rude to eavesdrop on people's conversations," She informed me, taking slow steps towards me, two for each one I took back.

"I know," I breathed, my heart racing in my chest, "I just thought-"

"You owe me an apology, Versailles," She told me and this time before I could move away from her I was stopped by a wall behind me. Only leaving her to get closer and closer until we were nose to nose and I was looking off into the other side of the room to avoid holding eye contact with her.

"I'm sorry I was just curious and she sounded so mad so I-

"Apologize for making me fall in love with you," She cut me off, tilting her face until our lips were almost touching. "I have not known peace from your image since the day I met you," It was a haunting thing to say but she said it like it was the greatest pleasure in the world. "My first thought when I wake up, my last thought before I close my eyes. Does that sound fair to you, Angel?"

I shook my head, hoping she would reward my compliance by closing the distance between us, "N-no," I finally said when I realised she wanted a verbal answer.

Her hand began playing with the buttons going down my shirt, "So apologize."

"I'm so-

Before I could finish she had claimed my mouth again, this time she was not passionate and slow. These were rushed and sloppy kisses that were a reflection of how needy we both were and how desperate to get what we wanted. She pulled away, "Apologise."

"Fuck I'm sor-" Her mouth stole the words from mine again as her fingertips rushed up my back to undo my bra that snapped against my skin with how quickly she pulled it off. Her hands rand down to my legs where she was quick to pull me off the ground which I followed through with as I allowed her to carry me to the large meeting table that was in the centre of the room we were in.

Without a care in the world, she swiped the documents, books and coasters off it and didn't even flinch when a glass cigarette tray clattered to the ground as she was too busy making a seat for me. "Apologise," She reminded me but this time didn't even give me a chance to before she curled her hands into the front of my shorts and dragged them off my legs.

Before I could slip off the table with her movement she sat me back up and pulled me back into a kiss with her hand around my neck. My shirt was her next victim as she began to fiddle with the buttons but quickly got frustrated with how tight and small they were.

I broke the kiss to laugh at how impatient her movements were, "Try again slowly, Cherry," I encouraged mockingly which made her shoot me a dark look. Suddenly my shirt was in her fists and my eyes widened, "Wait I'm sorr-

Buttons scattered across the room and bounced on the wood like marbles but I didn't even have a second to see where they went before Cher was pushing me flat against the table and dragging my body to its edge with her head between my legs, buried dangerously close to where I needed her most. "I'm going to make a mess of you Versailles," She promised.
