"Mer—Mer, I'm close."
"I know," Meredith whispered. "Want to?"
Ainsley shook her head back and forth with her eyes shut. Meredith stopped the movement of her fingers and moved back a few inches, waiting for Ainsley to open her eyes. It took her a few moments, the red in Ainsley's cheeks a sharp contrast to her normally pale skin.
"What do you want?" Meredith asked.
"I want your tongue."
Meredith shuddered. The words left Ainsley's mouth, and it took every effort Meredith had not to lean forward and kiss her loudly on the lips. She grinned and nodded, removing her hand from Ainsley's pants and nodding to her.
"Take off your clothes then."
Ainsley raised her knees up and shucked her jeans and underwear. When she resumed her position, Meredith backed up on the couch until her feet hit the edge of the armrest. She bent down, her fingers sliding up and down Ainsley's sides as she waited for confirmation to go ahead. When Ainsley said nothing, Meredith closed her eyes briefly and asked.
"Ready?"
"Yes," Ainsley hissed. "Don't stop."
"Trust me, I won't."
Meredith kissed a trail from Ainsley's knee to just inside her thigh. She flicked her tongue out and moaned as Ainsley's flavor exploded in her mouth. She heard Ainsley let out a sigh, her body relaxing under Meredith's ministrations. It wouldn't be long, Meredith knew, but that wasn't the point. The point was they were together and they loved each other. Ainsley reached into Meredith's hair and tugged, her hips leaving the couch cushion as she came, collapsing back down after orgasming, the aftermath clinging on for longer than Meredith had anticipated.
When Meredith crawled back up, Ainsley was pushing at her own pants, so she shucked them off before lying fully on top of Ainsley. They kissed again, letting their bodies relax into the moment. Meredith soothed Ainsley's skin with soft touches and made sure not to stop teasing her breasts. They breathed together until Ainsley turned and kissed Meredith on the lips.
"I love you," Ainsley said.
"I love you, too," Meredith said back, glad she was finally able to admit it. "We've got a lot to figure out soon."
"We have time."
"That we do," Meredith agreed. "We have a whole eighteen months of it before you graduate."
Ainsley giggled and dug her fingers into Meredith's side tickling her. Meredith squeaked and grabbed Ainsley's hands. Furrowing her brow, she kissed Ainsley's fingers and shook her head.
"That wasn't very nice," Meredith said.
"Sure it wasn't.” She laughed again. “Want to go a few more rounds?”
“Anything you want,” Meredith answered with a kiss to Ainsley’s lips. “Like you said, we have all the time we need.”
“And more.”
Meredith nodded in agreement, feeling happier than she ever had before. Ainsley laughed and kissed her quickly; Meredith tugged her back and deepened the embrace, set on staying there for as long as she could.

For By Grace
Being a Sheriff's Deputy is not all about saving lives and arresting criminals, and each day Grace wonders if she'll make it home.
While kids at the schools Deputy Grace Halling visits see her as the knight in blue-cotton armor, people involved in the cases she is dispatched to have a different opinion. She has every confidence in her ability to do her job and arrest criminals. She easily takes down a knife-wielding woman and a drunken combatant teenager without hesitation. Everyone--victim, suspect, or witness--has a story to tell or to lie about, and Grace is never perturbed by their tales.
That all changes when she looks down the barrel of a gun. She loses confidence in her ability as a deputy, she loses trust in herself and fellow officers, and she struggles to stay afloat as shift after shift passes. Grace cannot find her rhythm of being a deputy again. And when the Police Chaplain unexpectedly barges into her life, her personal and professional lives are flipped upside down. Grace struggles to find her even ground, worrying that the next time she stares a murderer in the face will be the last.
Forever Burn
Firefighters are trained to keep calm in the face of extraordinary events, but James was never prepared for this.
Saving people is a regular practice in a firefighter’s line of work; it is not something extraordinary or unusual. Just routine. James has been trained to respond to emergency calls and what to do in difficult situations. For James, the most important part of her work is that she knows how to run into a burning building to save a life. She is a firefighter not for the glory and not for the honor. She is there to make a difference.
Working hard has always been a common practice for James, but when her secret significant other is pressuring her to solidify their relationship, tensions start to rise. James is being pushed into turning her life upside down and inside out. She can’t stop disturbing dreams about a little girl she saved from a house fire years prior. She struggles to find balance through the pressures and stressors of her daily life, but she still can’t shake the ill-fated feeling that something is wrong.
