Today's #Lesficfri comes from Exactly What I Needed, the second novella in The Unexpected Series 🩷 linktr.ee/raluca.matara

Image of Vatima and Silma embracing each other. Followed by the test:
"Good morning, sleepyhead!" Lush lips woke Vatima at dawn, her body aching deliciously in a way only Silma could achieve. She smiled against Silma's mouth and was rewarded with a massage of her breasts. "Mmm! Someone's found her inner sex goddess!" Vatima exhaled as Silma lowered her lips to her stomach.

#WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #lesfic #sapphic #QueerWriters #LicoriceAndMint From TFNDB v1: Fresh Swept Floors archiveofourown.org/series/2092254

“No...no I was too scared to. I kept hoping something would change and she kept hinting at our anniversary or talking a lot about any of her co-workers who got married and I just...I just threw it all out, trying and hoping to bring back that feeling of newness. I thought a soft reset would help bring back that passion we had back in Jangal.”

“A soft reset? Really?” Stirring her coffee with her finger, the Tiefling stared into the top of Zaya’s partially shaved head. “I hope you’re listening to yourself right now, cause what I’m hearing is that you destroyed her dreams so you could chase a rush? I know dancing, and the cam shows are work for Dee, but doesn’t it make it thrilling to know that out of everyone that wants her, she only wants you? That you’re the one person who gets to hear her fantasies, and share space with her? That you’re living this...this life with someone who works a very dangerous job and she lets you be yourself. That she never criticizes you or any of your habits? And she gave you a second chance after that bullshit last month!? How do you take something like that for granted?”

Five ⭐️ review Hot hot hot! I so loved this book! The chemistry between Ella and her fairy is steamy with a chance of ecstasy! This retelling brings forth the hardships of being misunderstood in a world that's set against you but also leaves you wanting more of those smutty bits of passion!
