I still don't understand why you can't just tell me what's going on. We're basically the same person right now, why shouldn't I know? You scared I'm gonna steal your thunder? (R)
Firstly, I don't trust you to be competent enough to explain this right, so that second part isn't a worry. Secondly, I don't feel like it. Suck it up and deal with it. (A)
Ugh, you are actually insufferable for someone almost twice my age. (R)
And you're incredibly whiney for someone who's supposed to be an adult. (A)
Forget it, I don't know why I asked. I'm going to find out after the wedding anyway. Which by the way, you're not invited to. So, there. (R)
We literally share the same body? I'm gonna be there whether you like it or not? (A)
You know what, you can shut up. (R)
Gain some braincells, Shortie—Oh my god. No. No, I don't need to see this. Bye, sayonara, adios, until later. (A)
What— (R)
"What are you doing here?" Risále hadn't even realized that she had stepped into Bella's office until she heard the other woman call out. She looked up from her feet to see that Bella was staring at her from where she was seated behind the big mahogany desk, pen still in hand from something she was writing down. Her face was stony, but Risále could see the tenseness in her shoulders and the furrow between her brow.
"I—Uh, I'm not quite sure, actually. My feet kind of just carried me here," Risále laughed nervously, scratching the back of her neck, "Kinda funny, no?"
Bella frowned, "...Sure. I think you should go. I don't really have much time, and I already took too much time off today—"
"You're stressed. You need a break, or some help. Something."
"That's the fourth time someone has said that to me today," Bella smiled a bit without humor, "And yet, here I still am. Because if I don't take care of it, then it's not going to get done. I trust the other rebellion leaders, but most of the rebellion only takes instructions from me. They see me as some sort of…Martyr."
Risále walked over to her, rounding the desk and hopping onto a part of it that was empty. Bella gave her an unamused look but she ignored it, "That's a lot for a twenty-year-old to deal with on her own," She said.
Bella rolled her eyes, "It's just par for the course at this point. Now, if only the White Lotus could stop hiding from me, maybe I'd be less stressed," She gripped the side of the desk, "But since they've made this difficult, I just have to work harder. Which means I don't really have time for this."
Risále stared at Bella's hands, gulping a bit, "Hm, well then, if you can't take a break, then I might as well give you company. What are you doing?"
"Work."
"Oh, you're a funny one. I like that in a woman. I meant what exactly are you working on?" Risále raised an eyebrow, swinging her legs.
Bella was quiet for a moment, "...Is your plan to keep flirting with me until I eventually get worn down enough that I stop working?"
Risále couldn't hide her blush at this one, covering her face with one hand. Through her fingers, she muttered, "Wasn't the original plan, but now that you say it…Is it working?" She was hesitant to meet the other woman's eyes at first but was surprised to see that Bella was already looking at her.
Directly at her.
Bella opened her mouth, "And if I said yes?" She murmured.
Risále knew that look in Bella's eyes. She wasn't mistaken at all the past few times she had seen it in her eyes.
Bella wanted her.
And with that, she leaned down towards the girl, her lips bare inches away from Bella's, "Hey, Bella. I think I know something you can do to get rid of some of that stress," She said breathily.
"Oh?" Bella responded, her eyes trained on Risále's mouth as she wetted her own lips.
Risále nodded.
"Me."
The moment the dots connected in Bella's head, she stood up quickly, almost kicking the chair away before stepping in front of Risále, her hands caging the shorter girl in, leaving her nowhere to escape.
Risále would have it no other way.
Bella grabbed her chin and tilted it up, their eyes meeting for a moment both dark and burning before they crashed into each other, Bella's impatient and demanding lips against hers, barely allowing her to breathe before kissing her again. It was messy, rough, raw, it was as though Bella had taken all of her frustration and internal anger and transformed them into burning, insistent kisses, licking into the other girl's mouth and giving her no reprieve.
For her part, Risále was keeping up pretty well, although her part was more giving into Bella and letting the woman do whatever she wanted. Her hands gripped Bella's blouse tightly as she moaned against her mouth, and then wrapped her arms around Bella's shoulders to tug her closer, wrapping her legs around her waist. Bella's hands were warm, hot, burning against her waist, her thighs, her legs as she spread them apart to make room to pull Risále closer to herself. Bella was entirely domineering the kisses, the rough, messy kisses seeming almost like a battle.
If this was what happened when she lost to Bella, Risále wasn't sure she ever wanted to win.
She gasped as Bella sucked on the skin against her jawline, her hands immediately making it into the woman's long hair, gripping it between her fingers. She let out a small noise as she felt Bella's hands move under her thighs and the other woman picked her up, shifting to hold her with one arm as she shoved away the rest of the papers. Risále gripped onto Bella's arms, mouthing at her neck wetly as the taller placed her down on the middle of the desk, pulling her close and pressing their bodies together.
Bella's hand rested against the side of Risále's neck, her thumb on her chin as she pulled her away from her neck. Risále let out a groan of dissatisfaction, and Bella jerked her chin up, forcing the other woman to look at her, "Stop whining. You'll get what you want."
Risále didn't get the chance to answer before Bella dove in and started sucking marks against her neck. The moan tumbled out from her lips before she could stop it and her nails dug into the back of Bella's blouse. The other woman's hands skimmed her thighs, her hips and her waist until she touched bare skin. Her hands slipped under Risále's cropped top, resting against her bra strap and pushing lightly, making Risále arch her back.
"Fuck," Risále shivered, "You're good at this."
Bella looked up at her, raising an eyebrow as she pulled away from her neck, reaching further up Risále's shirt to tug at the bra strap and snap it, the girl flinching and letting out a noise at the sting.
"Oh, I know, Blueberry," She smirked, and Risále knew for sure that she was done for.
"God, you're so fucking hot," She muttered under her breath before grabbing Bella by the collar of her blouse and pulling her closer, almost causing the other woman to fall on top of her with how hard she tugged.
Bella chuckled, stabilizing her with one hand, "And you are stronger than you seem," She murmured against Risále's lips before pulling her into another kiss, pressing her free hand against her abdomen and pushing her down so her top half was basically laying on the desk, with Bella looming over her.
Risále reached for Bella's blouse, almost ripping the entire shirt out of the slitted pencil skirt before trying to undo the buttons. As she struggled, she groaned, "Off, I want this off."
She didn't count on Bella grabbing her wrists and holding them down against the desk as she leaned over, her body holding Risále down as she whispered in her ear, "Uh uh. Bad girls don't get what they want. Now, behave. Then we can see."
Well, Risále had never been one for behaving.
She grinned before gripping tightly to the blouse and tugging it apart so hard that it ripped open. Bella looked a bit taken back at this but not too surprised overall. Instead, she simply clicked her tongue before pushing Risále's hands above her head and holding them down with one hand. Using the other, she pulled off the remainder of the shirt and sighed. Placing one end in her mouth, she jerked her head to the side, ripping it into a strip and if Risále wasn't already turned on by now, she would have been with just that one action.
Dropping the rest of the shirt to the ground, Bella took the strip and reached up to tie Risále's wrists together. Before she did though, she took the bottom of Risále's shirt and pulled it up. Her eyes were a bit softer as she pulled it over her head, "Is color system good for you?"
"Huh? Oh, yeah. Yeah, color system works."
"Hm. Color?"
"Oh, green. Fucking green, please keep going."
Bella pulled the shirt off entirely and didn't hesitate to tie Risále's wrists together. She began to feel up the exposed skin, pressing her lips against the bared shoulders and her fingers pressing into Risále's waist, sure to leave marks.
Risále hoped it would leave marks. She was surprised, really. She hadn't really thought of herself being someone who liked such intense things but she couldn't really imagine it if it wasn't Bella.
"Keep watching me. Don't look away," Bella tilted Risále's face to watch as she trailed kisses down the middle of her body, and as she began to suck, Risále couldn't help but kick her legs up. Bella grabbed them and bent them, allowing her feet to rest on the table before dragging her fingers along them, pressing on her inner thighs.
As she leaned forward and undid the ties of Risále's pajama shorts, the other girl groaned and threw her head back, almost leaning off the end of the table, "Fuck, you're so hot."
Bella hummed as she looked up at her, "I'm not going to be gentle, you know? I'd really recommend you keep your mouth shut and behave."
Risále met her eyes and smirked, "Oh, please don't show me mercy, Ma'am. I'm counting on not being able to walk for the next few days."
Hours later, Risále woke up in her own bedroom, her entire body aching from the roughness around her wrists to the marks all over her hips, waists, thighs, neck, and chest, in new clothes, and a glass of water on the nightstand next to her.
It sunk in that what happened hadn't just been a dream. And moreover, she remembered that she had even said they should do it again.
And Bella had agreed.
She shoved her face in her hands, "Oh, fucking hell. Did I just become friends with benefits with Bella?"
