An Anonymous Commission

All characters in this story are over the age of 18

The roar of the crowd was behind them, yet Dawn’s body was still trembling. It was not out of nervousness…but because of anticipation.

She had done it. She had won the contest. It was a hard-fought battle, but Dawn prevailed.

And that meant that Zoey had the promise to keep.

Dawn had to make time for a few interviews with the press, as well as do a customary lap of honor with her Pokémon. The spectacle left her breathless. However, as much as she enjoyed celebrating this triumph with her team, all she could think about was being alone with Zoey where she could do all the things to her that she had promised back in the changing room before the final. Dawn’s feet were bouncing as she looked for the first opportunity to dash for the exit and find Zoey. The two women scarpered out of the backdoor when no one was looking. Somehow, she had managed to organize a limo to wait for Dawn after her victory and be ready to take her to their hotel which was a short distance away from the venue. By the time the paparazzi realized what was happening, it was too late. The girls looked out of the vehicle’s back window and saw the arena disappear over the horizon as they drove to their destination.

Dawn sighed with relief and sunk into her seat. ‘’I thought I was never going to get away.’’

‘’Why the rush?’’ Zoey teased. ‘’You won! You should have celebrated a little longer. I wouldn’t have minded.’’

‘’There will be more time for celebrating later,’’ Dawn locked eyes with Zoey and leaned closer. Their lips were inches apart from each other. ‘’I couldn’t wait to be with you.’’

Zoey smirked. ‘’Were you thinking about what I said?’’

Dawn nodded eagerly. ‘’It motivated me a lot during the battle. I wanted to be a good girl for you.’’

A low, sensual groan rolled out of Zoey’s throat. She could feel a familiar tightness inside her pants. Dawn must have read her mind because she was quick to place her hand between Zoey’s legs and cup the bulge that was slowly taking shape. Zoey’s grin widened as she leaned back and let Dawn have her fun. The bluenette squeezed her tent tightly. The thickness of Zoey’s cock was already evident as it fits snugly within Dawn’s grasp.

‘’What about the driver?’’ Dawn asked, tilting her head to the side.

‘’He’s got the window up. It’s soundproof.’’

As Zoey spoke, her hand began to roam Dawn’s body. The contest champion moaned with delight as she felt her breasts being groped through her dress. The thought of Zoey tearing it off her body was driving her mad with lust. She began to buck her hips against her lover, wanting to feel her explore further. Zoey didn’t disappoint. She snuck her hand down underneath the skirt of Dawn’s dance; her fingers danced lightly across her warm skin, tickling her thigh and eliciting more moans of approval from the bluenette. She reacted by tightening her grip on Zoey’s bulge, rubbing her hand up and down as she felt her grow to full length underneath her pants.

‘’I want to touch you,’’ Dawn moaned.

‘’You first,’’ Zoey leaned to Dawn’s ear and slowly licked it. ‘’My good girl needs to be rewarded.’’

Dawn’s hips jerked as Zoey’s fingers found their intended target. Her pussy clenched with excitement as Zoey slowly thrust inside of her, sliding two digits in and out of her soaked entrance. Zoey’s fingers were instantly drenched with the girl’s wetness. Gradually, she increased the speed of her fingering and became more forceful. She ran her other hand behind Dawn’s back to hold her. Dawn whimpered and squirmed against Zoey. She cupped her hand over her mouth to suppress her moans. Zoey kissed her on the cheek before bringing her lips closer to Dawn’s lips, encouraging her to move her hand away. Dawn ascended to the clouds as she embraced Zoey passionately.

Between kisses, Zoey spoke with husk laced in her tone. ‘’Soundproof, remember. You can tell me how much you’re enjoying this. Scream for me, Dawn.’’

As their kiss intensified, Zoey fingered Dawn harder and faster. Dawn could no longer control the sounds that were erupting out of her mouth. Zoey circled her tongue around Dawn’s, coaxing it out of her mouth before sucking on it. Dawn continued to shift in her seat as she rode Zoey’s fingers. It didn’t matter how many times Zoey fingered her; it would always feel as good as the first time. Her expert skills rendered Dawn speechless. All that came out of her were incoherent moans that escalated in volume before transforming into screams of pure pleasure.

‘’Zoey! More! Please!’’ Dawn begged.

‘’That’s my good girl,’’ Zoey brought her head down to kiss Dawn’s neck. The bluenette’s dress had fallen off her shoulders slightly, revealing more of her hot, creamy skin to Zoey. She saw this as an opportunity to bestow more of the champion’s body with delightful kisses. ‘’You’re my good girl, Dawn. You’re such a good slut for me.’’

Dawn’s eyes rolled back. Her heart was racing at an unimaginable rate. It threatened to burst out of her chest as Zoey added another finger, thrusting three digits in and out of her mercilessly. Dawn was holding into anything within her reach for support. Zoey lifted her off the seat slightly and made her bounce on her hand. Dawn gasped loudly. Her eyes wandered to the side window. As she watched the neon lights of the buildings they passed, her curiosity took center stage. Could anyone see them? Could anyone hear them? The thought send Dawn into delirium. The idea that other women could see her being fingered by Zoey excited her to no end.

‘’I’m your good girl, Zoey!’’ Dawn cried out, hugging Zoey, and pushing her face down closer to her chest. ‘’Please, treat me like the slut that I am for you. Make me yours.’’

She felt Zoey smile against her skin. Her cleavage almost popped out of her dress. It didn’t help that Zoey’s face was being pushed down between the valley of her breasts. Zoey wasn’t going to complain about that. She licked her way down Dawn’s tits before rolling her tongue over the hardened rosy bud. Dawn yelped and fully climbed onto Zoey’s hand, bucking her hips and riding her as four fingers were now being rammed in and out of her pussy at a feverous pace. Zoey sucked on both of Dawn’s tits, coating them both with her spit before nibbling on her nipples. Every action by her brought Dawn closer to the peak. She didn’t know how much more of this she could take.

‘’Zoey! Zoey! I’m…I’m about to…’’

Suddenly, Zoey stopped kissing Dawn’s boobs and pulled her fingers out. Dawn groaned in disappointment and tried to sit on her hand again. However, Zoey reluctantly settled her lover back down onto the seat before readjusting her suit. She shot Dawn a playful smile and winked. ‘’I’ll have to pay the driver extra if we make a mess.’’

Dawn huffed and crossed her arms over her chest. ‘’You’re cruel.’’

Zoey ignored Dawn’s pout and gestured to the door of the limo. ‘’Besides…we’re here!’’

Dawn’s eyes widened and her smile returned. She saw the hotel come into view and was out of the door before the limo stopped. She didn’t even bother adjusting her dress. While nothing revealing was on display, those who had seen her could easily tell what had happened between the two of them as Dawn dragged Zoey out of the limo and through the hotel lobby.

‘’Hurry up and pick up our room key!’’ Dawn demanded.

Zoey chuckled and pulled a card from her pocket, revealing the hotel’s logo and their room number on the front. ‘’I’m already two steps ahead of you. No need to worry.’’

‘’Oh, don’t you no need to worry me!’’ Dawn pulled on Zoey’s collar and pulled her into a fiery kiss. ‘’After what you just did to me, I can’t wait any longer. You can even fuck me down here in the lobby if you want. I just want you inside me!’’

Zoey smiled against Dawn’s lips. ‘’A tempting offer. But, I’d rather make love to you in our room. We won’t get dragged away by the police. And, we’ll have the whole night to ourselves.’’

‘’Then what are we waiting for?’’

They couldn’t keep their hands off each other as they practically kissed their way to the elevator. They paid no heed to the curious onlookers who watched on. The hotel staff went about with their business. Couples acting like this were most likely a sight they were used to. As long as Zoey and Dawn took their activities to their room, the pair were free to do whatever they wanted.

Dawn could hardly contain her excitement as Zoey pushed her against the interior of the elevator and they grinded against each other in the small space. Thankfully, there was no one else occupying the lift as they journeyed up the floors. Zoey reached behind Dawn to cup her ass before picking her up. Dawn moaned and wrapped her legs around Zoey’s waist. Their tongues explored each other’s mouths. Their breasts pushed against each other, rubbing their clothes together. They couldn’t wait to tear them off each other. Dawn’s skirt was hiked upward and Zoey’s hands squeezed her ass cheeks firmly. The bluenette grinded against Zoey, feeling her bulge rubbing against her pussy. Aching with need, Dawn wished with all of her heart that Zoey’s cock would rip through her pants and enter her. The seconds felt like hours.

If they didn’t reach their floor soon, Dawn would break the elevator so that they would be trapped and they could fuck here and now. Dawn was that desperate.

Finally, the elevator dinged and opened to reveal a sprawling corridor. Zoey carried Dawn to their door as they continued to kiss. Occasionally glancing away, Dawn realized that they were on the highest floor and that Zoey had booked them in the furthest room. She had gone all out with the expenses. ‘’Were you so confident I would win that you booked the best room?’’

‘’Only the best for my girl,’’ Zoey replied.

‘’You know how to treat me well.’’

‘’Oh, I’m going to treat you so well. I hope that you enjoyed that victory lap earlier. Because when I’m through with you, you’re not going to be able to walk properly for weeks.’’

‘’I can’t wait!’’

Zoey struggled to press her key card against the lock of the door with Dawn clinging to her and refusing to go even a second without kissing her. Eventually, Zoey succeeded. They entered the room and Dawn looked out of the corner of her eye to inspect the room. It was truly a marvellous sight. But, Dawn didn’t care about the suite’s amenities. All that mattered to her was finding the bed. The rest of the room would only come into play later when she thought about Zoey fucking her against every piece of furniture. And, considering the overwhelming size of the room, that was going to be quite the task. Dawn knew that Zoey was up to the task, and she was more than happy to spend the whole weekend here being Zoey’s 24/7 slut.

The bluenette shrieked when she was tossed out onto the bed by Zoey. Her lover climbed on top of her and grabbed her dress. There was a spark in her eyes. ‘’Last chance.’’

Dawn knew what Zoey was referring to and smiled. ‘’Do it!’’

Without another word, Zoey ripped the dress off of Dawn’s body. Her actions sent another surge of wetness coursing through Dawn’s entire body. She always found new ways to turn her on. A chill ran down Dawn’s spine as Zoey grabbed her by the wrists and pinned her down onto the bed. Her eyes were glazed with love as she took one of Dawn’s nipples back into her mouth. Dawn moaned and arched her back, pushing her tits against Zoey’s face, wanting to feel more of her delightful torture. Zoey made sure that no inch of Dawn’s skin was left untouched by her lips. She sent the bluenette spiralling into endless bliss.

‘’Moan for me!’’ She said as she kissed her way down Dawn’s body.

Dawn panted heavily and threaded her fingers through Zoey’s hair, guiding her mouth to her pussy. ‘’You’re amazing, Zoey! More! Give me more!’’

‘’With pleasure,’’ Zoey said before trailing her tongue up and down Dawn’s lower lips.

‘’Fuck!’’ Dawn screamed. She instantly locked her legs around Zoey’s head to keep her there. Zoey had no intention of pulling away as she lapped up Dawn’s juices without hesitation.

Dawn released a chorus of screams as she bucked her hips and smeared her wetness all over Zoey’s mouth. She didn’t want this sensation to end. Zoey thrust her tongue inside Dawn, licking her everywhere she could reach. Dawn’s pussy clenched around Zoey’s tongue. Zoey brought her thumb over Dawn’s clit and gently teased her. The cries of ecstasy from Dawn spurred Zoey on. She rubbed the bluenette’s clit and fucked her with her tongue without taking any breaks. There were times when Zoey felt short of breath and had to pull away momentarily for respite. But, all of those troubles were worth the effort as she listened to the sweet music that Dawn was creating.

‘’Don’t stop! Lick me! Please, don’t fucking stop!’’

Zoey brought her hands up Dawn’s body to cup her breasts once again. Dawn was more than happy to let her body be used as Zoey’s plaything. She rode her lover’s tongue relentlessly. The pleasure that was enveloping her almost made her lose consciousness. There was never a point where she didn’t cum after Zoey had eaten her out. However, tonight felt different. It felt like more. Dawn believed that it had to be Zoey’s way of rewarding her for winning the contest. She also had a feeling that it was the sense of pride that Zoey felt for trying to keep the promise she made in the changing room. If she said that she was going to show Dawn a good time and give her everything that she wanted, then she meant it.

Dawn felt her soul being ripped out of her body and towards the sky as she rode through the waves of her orgasm against Zoey’s mouth and fingers. She didn’t even have time to warn her. All that she could do was scream. Hooking her hands under Dawn’s legs, Zoey hoisted her slightly and revelled in the way her body convulsed against her tongue. Dawn’s wetness coated her mouth. The intoxicating taste made Zoey harder than ever before. Her cock was throbbing intensely beneath her pants. If she didn’t tear them off and free herself, she thought that she was going to go crazy. But, she had to wait. Dawn’s pleasure came first. She continued to lick her pussy and rub her clit until she finally came down from her euphoric high and collapsed onto the bed, gasping for air.

‘’Oh, wow…’’ Dawn mumbled breathlessly. ‘’That was wonderful.’’

Zoey looked on proudly as she wiped her wet mouth with the back of her hand. Her chin shimmered with Dawn’s juices. The bluenette didn’t feel embarrassed by the sight in the slightest. She had often thought about having Zoey’s cum plastered across her face. She loved getting facials from her. The idea of other women seeing her in such a state and knowing that she had the delight of being painted with the girl’s seed brought her so much joy.

Dawn was so wrapped up in her daydream that she didn’t notice that Zoey was stripping until the girl was only in her pants. The bulge between her legs was unbelievably large.

‘’Let me!’’ Dawn quickly shuffled over to Zoey.

‘’Be my guest.’’

Dawn smiled as she pulled Zoey’s pants down and watched as her massive cock sprang into view, smacking her across the face. An amused laugh escaped from her as she rubbed her face against the pulsating shaft. Leaning down, she smothered herself against the hefty balls that dangled beneath. She couldn’t resist licking the heavy sack, causing Zoey to moan. The husky sound sent another chill down Dawn’s spine. She slowly licked up the shaft before taking the head in her mouth. Her jaw ached as she descended onto the length, engulfing it. She choked on the member, but that didn’t stop her from bobbing her head up and down rapidly.

‘’Fuck, Dawn!’’ Zoey groaned. She gripped tightly onto Dawn’s hair and forced her to deepthroat her cock repeatedly. ‘’Such a good slut. You take my cock so well!’’

Dawn hummed her approval. She eagerly sucked Zoey’s cock, feeling it spear her throat over and over again. Zoey’s hold on her was tight. Now that they didn’t have to worry about appearances for the contest, she could be as rough with Dawn as she pleased. She slammed against Dawn’s face. Her balls slapped Dawn’s chin a few times as she gagged on her dick enthusiastically. Tears of joy streamed down her face. She could finally go all out on Zoey’s cock. Often her throat would become sore after giving her lover an intense blowjob in the past. Dawn looked forward to that sensation. She felt so dirty for how much she enjoyed lavishing Zoey’s dick. But, she loved it.

Before long, she pulled back for air. She licked at the bridge of saliva that connected her lips with the tip of Zoey’s cock. ‘’Give me more! I want to be a good girl and suck on your cock some more!’’

‘’How much do you enjoy sucking on my cock?’’ Zoey teased, grasping her shaft before slapping it against Dawn’s face.

‘’So, so much!’’ Dawn whimpered. Her tongue hung out of her mouth as she let the erotic torment continue. She lunged forward to try and take the length back into her mouth, but Zoey fisted her hair and pulled her back. Over and over again, Dawn tried to wrap her lips around the girth. When Zoey refused to relent, Dawn locked eyes with her. ‘’I love sucking your dick so much! Please, let me suck on your big, hard cock!’’

‘’And then what?’’

Dawn smiled wickedly. ‘’I want you to cum on my face! I want to wear your cum. I don’t have to care about appearances now that it’s just the two of us here in this hotel. Use me! Fuck my mouth! Cum on my face! Treat me like a slut! I want to be your slut!’’

There was a moment when everything seemed to stand still. The only part of Zoey that moved, other than her cock twitching, was the corner of her mouth curling upward. ‘’Good girl! I’m going to give you exactly what you want!’’

‘’Yes, please! Please, do…’’ Dawn was silenced when Zoey rammed her cock back into Dawn’s open mouth.

Once she got over the initial shock, Dawn was back to eagerly bobbing her head up and down, sucking on every inch of Zoey’s magnificent length. Her throat felt so full trying to take the thickness under such an intense pounding. Zoey was holding onto Dawn’s blue hair with both hands and driving into her without holding anything back. Her treatment was rough and furious. Her growls tinged the atmosphere in the room with feral longing. Dawn brought her hand back down between her legs and fingered herself. She was practically gushing as she sucked on Zoey’s cock, knowing that her lover was close by the way she erratically thrust against her face.

‘’Take it, Dawn! Take my cock! You’re so good!’’

The praise made Dawn’s heart flutter. Despite the ferocity of their actions, there was always time for Zoey to shower Dawn with sweet words. Dawn batted her eyes at Zoey. Her sweet expression tipped her lover over the edge. Zoey pulled out of Dawn’s mouth and began to stroke herself. Dawn already knew what to do. She was on her knees and waited. She opened her mouth and stuck her tongue out just as thick ropes of cum blasted down onto her face. Closing her eyes, she felt the hot threads smother her lewd expression. Any strands that were shot into her mouth were happily swallowed. She licked around her lips to lap it up and taste more of Zoey.

Zoey grunted and jerked off until her balls were drained…for now. Dawn’s face was almost completely covered. Despite their activities earlier in the dressing room, Zoey had more than enough to satisfy Dawn.

The bluenette rubbed her face, licking the cum off her fingers and smiled at Zoey. ‘’I bet I look so hot right now.’’

Zoey kneeled next to Dawn and cupped her face. ‘’You always look hot. You’re beautiful. Gorgeous. Astounding. I run out of words to describe you.’’

Beneath the layer of cum, a hint of red could be seen as Dawn’s cheeks blushed. Zoey pulled her into a loving kiss, tasting herself on her lover’s lips. The embrace left Dawn in a blissful daze. She sat on the bed, her pupils morphed into love hearts, as Zoey leaned over the side to retrieve something from one of the drawers. Dawn glanced over and spotted the pile of condoms that were inside. This had to be a romantic suite for couples. There were more than enough for the pair fucked endlessly throughout the whole weekend.

‘’Wait,’’ Dawn reached out, stopping Zoey from ripping open the wrapper. ‘’Let me.’’

Zoey smirked and handed it to Dawn. The bluenette’s hands were trembling as she took it out of the wrapper and slowly rolled it over Zoey’s cock. Her mouth was agape as she brought the condom down Zoey’s enormous length, stretching it completely. The sight was one of the hottest things that Dawn had ever seen. Once it was on, Dawn turned around and got on her hands and knees. She raised her backside and wiggled it. Her ass cheeks jiggled, enticing Zoey to mount her from behind.

‘’I want you inside me,’’ Dawn pleaded. ‘’Fuck me with your big cock, Zoey!’’

‘’God, Dawn. You’re so wet for me!’’ Zoey moaned as she guided her cock to Dawn’s entrance and slid the head up and down. Her pussy was dripping.

Dawn grasped the bedsheets and braced herself as Zoey slowly thrust inside. Her pussy clenched tightly around the shaft, stretched by the thickness. Grabbing onto the bluenette’s hips, Zoey quickly began to buck her hips harder and faster, ramming every inch of her cock inside her partner. Her powerful pounding made the bed shake beneath them. Dawn pressed her face against the bed mattress and screamed into it. The muffled sounds encouraged Zoey to fuck her as hard and as fast as possible. She lifted one hand and brought it down hard onto Dawn’s ass. She yelped and shook her ass in response.

‘’More!’’ She cried out, biting on the bedsheets as she was overwhelmed with pleasure.

Zoey happily obliged. She spanked the other cheek. Dawn’s body quaked in response. Time and time again she was rattled by the forcefulness of Zoey’s strikes. The restraint from earlier was long gone. Dawn couldn’t stop smiling as Zoey unleashed everything she had onto her. Zoey then reached out to grab Dawn’s hair and pulled it, earning a sharp moan from her.

‘’I want to hear you,’’ Zoey moaned before slapping Dawn’s ass again. ‘’Moan for me! Tell me how much you love it!’’

‘’I fucking love it!’’ Dawn screamed. Her ass was turning red from the hard spanking that she was receiving. She couldn’t stop backing into Zoey’s thrusts, matching her rhythm, wanting more. The wet sounds of their bodies colliding reverberated off the bedroom walls. ‘’Fuck me, Zoey! Fuck me hard! Spank me! Do whatever you want to me, please!’’

Their time together felt like a blur. Dawn was drowning in ecstasy. She ached for Zoey’s cock. Feeling her partner’s cock being driven deeper inside her pussy made her feel whole, literally and figuratively. She was complete with Zoey. Even if she won the next one hundred contests, she would happily trade it all away for life with this brilliant and wonderful young woman. The rough sex was a nice bonus. But, she wanted to be with Zoey because she brought out the best in Dawn. She didn’t have to pretend to be someone else. She didn’t have to fake an appearance or pretend to be a star. They loved each other. Dawn couldn’t stop the tears of happiness from rolling down her face. Zoey was on top of her, slamming down against her ass. She reached out and placed her hand on top of Dawn’s, holding on as she felt her orgasm around her cock.

‘’Oh, Dawn!’’ Zoey huffed. She thrust a few more times before going over the edge. The condom was filled in an instant.

As much as they both wished for Zoey to cum inside Dawn, they knew that they weren’t ready for that responsibility yet. They wanted to participate in a few more contests together before retiring and settling down with a family of their own. But, that didn’t mean that they couldn’t indulge in their deepest fantasies before then.

‘’I’m not through with you yet,’’ Zoey whispered into Dawn’s ear. She reached around and cupped Dawn’s breasts, eliciting more sweet moans of approval out of her. ‘’I’m going to treat my good girl right all night long.’’

Dawn shivered and glanced over her shoulder to lock eyes with her partner. ‘’You certainly know how to capture my heart.’’

XXX

By the time Zoey was done with Dawn, the bed had moved several spaces from its original position. The windows had completely steamed up. The blurred lights from outside cast the room in a neon-drenched glow. The shredded remains of their clothes were scattered across the floor, and the bin was filled with too many used condoms to count. The sound of Dawn’s heavy breathing echoed throughout the room. She was hugging Zoey tightly, resting on her lap; her eyes too heavy to remain open. A thin layer of sweat covered her trembling body. She was still trying to grind onto Zoey’s dick.

‘’More…more…’’ she whimpered hoarsely.

Zoey giggled and let out a tired sigh. ‘’I think we better get some sleep. We need time to recover.’’

Dawn wanted to protest. She mewled softly and kept bucking her body against Zoey. However, she knew that her partner was just being honest. Dawn’s body was numb and riddled with red marks from the rough holds that Zoey inflicted upon her whilst pounding her. She cherished every single mark. It was a sweet reminder of the pleasure that Zoey had given her. She was going to remember this night for a long time.

Feeling Dawn struggle to move, Zoey took it upon herself to make sure that her partner was taken care of. ‘’Let me.’’

Dawn held on as Zoey lifted her and carried her back over to the bed. She couldn’t remember when they had started fucking in the corner of the suite next to the window. Zoey’s knees wobbled. But, she held strong. Her hands glided over Dawn’s skin, gently caressing the spots where hickeys and bite marks had been left behind. Her soft touch was a stark contrast to the blistering intensity she showed when they fucked a short while ago. Dawn loved how effortlessly Zoey could switch between the two modes. She knew when Dawn wanted to be utterly destroyed in the best possible way. And she also knew when Dawn needed tender aftercare.

The bluenette was carefully lowered onto the bed. Zoey brought the pillow under her head and let her rest. She began to pepper Dawn’s body with kisses. ‘’I counted the number of spankings I gave you. Now, I’m going to give you one kiss for every hit.’’

Dawn snorted. ‘’You could be doing that all night.’’

‘’Two things, firstly…it’s morning,’’ Zoey said. Dawn glanced at the window and saw a hint of the sun rising over the horizon. ‘’And secondly, I would happily just lay here and kiss you like this all night.’’

Dawn stroked Zoey’s hair and exhaled. ‘’Such a romantic.’’

‘’I like to think I’m the dashing prince who got lucky and found their beautiful princess.’’

‘’Prince?’’

Zoey shrugged. ‘’I can be your Prince or your Queen. Or both. I’m happy knowing that because you’re fine with me being me.’’

Unable to contain her glee, Dawn cupped Zoey’s face and used the last of her strength to pull her into another searing kiss. Their troubles melted away as they clung to each other and felt exhaustion take over.

‘’I was going to order us breakfast in bed,’’ Zoey said.

‘’Leave it for now. I’m sleepy,’’ Dawn yawned. ‘’And when I wake up, you’re going to be my breakfast in bed.’’

Zoey burst into laughter. ‘’That was so bad.’’

‘’I still made you laugh.’’

Zoey spent the next few moments resting on her elbow in silence and watching Dawn fall into a gentle sleep. ‘’That’s my good girl.’’
