I'm going to Kori's house.

I'm actually going to her house.

What. The. Fuck.

As I drove to Kori's, I couldn't quite believe that I was actually driving to her condo.

I spent more time than I'd like to admit deciding on what I was going to wear to see her, just to settle on a gray knit off the shoulder sweater and dark wash jeans. I lightly curled my dark hair, and made sure to put on some vanilla-scented perfume.

I don't want to seem like I'm trying too hard.

But I kind of am.

Kori lived 28 minutes away from me, and when I pulled into her neighborhood, I could feel my heart practically in my throat.

Kori's neighborhood was full of single homes, townhomes, and condos. I knew she lived in a condo, and she had texted me that she was on the first floor.

Thankfully, the neighborhood was well lit, and I was able to see the numbers of the condos clearly. Kori's was number 304.

As I walked up to her door, I texted her that I was there, and a moment later, the door to Kori's condo opened.

And there stood Kori, in one of what seemed to be one of her usual outfits outside of work, a seamless pair of joggers and a hoodie that I knew was likely more expensive than any hoodie I owned.

Behind Kori was her dog, Chester. He was a beautiful German Shepard, and he barked once when he saw me.

Kori smiled when she saw me, and said, "Come on in. Are you alright around big dogs?"

"Perfectly fine," I said to Kori, and I stepped inside her condo.

I was expecting her place to be nice; I just knew that it had to be. But I wasn't expecting it to be this nice.

Kori seemed to choose furniture that was a mix of contemporary and luxury, with lots of white and gray accents. The living room, dining room, and kitchen were laid out in an open floor plan, and the floors were hardwood.

As Chester walked up to me, I said to Kori, "Wow...your place is gorgeous."

"Thank you, I appreciate that. It's come a long way," Kori said, "How about you follow me to the kitchen, and we can have a drink."

I followed Kori to her kitchen, still not believing I was at her house.

The kitchen was equipped with state-of-the-art appliances, quartz countertops, and an island. There was also a bar area, with two stools behind it.

Kori leaned against the island, and I did the same, standing next to her.

"You look gorgeous," she said to me, "Not that you don't always."

I smiled at Kori, "Thank you. You look great as well. As always."

Kori flashed me a quick smile, and then said, "I was going to pour myself a glass of red wine. Would you like one as well? No pressure to drink, I'll gladly grab you some water, sparkling water...whatever you'd like."

"I'll have a glass of red wine just like you," I said, "Thank you, Kori."

Kori stepped aside and grabbed a bottle of wine that was on the kitchen counter and opened it. She then grabbed two wine glasses out of a cabinet as well and poured the drinks for us.

Kori placed the wine glass in front of me on the island and set her glass down as well after taking a sip. I took a small sip as well, and it was slightly sweet.

"Do you like it?" she asked me, "If not, I'll grab you something else."

"I do," I nodded, "Thank you."

"Are you hungry? I'm sure I could rustle you up something if you are."

I smiled at Kori, "I'm good, thanks. Trey made butternut squash risotto, and I had some earlier."

"That sounds good," Kori said, facing me. We were standing quite close to each other against the island. Chester had gone to his dog bed in the living room and was laying down.

"It was. Trey is actually a really good cook. If he didn't become a nurse, he would have been a chef."

"Did you meet him at the last hospital you worked at?" Kori asked me.

"No, we met in nursing school. He's one of the main reasons I wound up getting through it. He's now an oncology nurse."

Kori nodded, "I know I only met him for a few moments, but I could see him being good at that. He seems to have a great spirit and sense of humor. That's needed for patients."

"It is," I said, "He's a wonderful nurse."

I was a bit wistful as I said this, and Kori seemed to pick up on it.

"I'm sure you were a great nurse as well, Ashley."

"Thank you," I said to Kori, "Nursing, as difficult as it could be, gave me this sense of purpose. I feel a bit lost without it."

"I get that, firsthand. When I stopped being a nurse, even though I stopped because I just knew it wasn't for me, I felt lost for a while. You'll find your way, I promise."

"That's good to hear," I looked at Kori, "You stopped being a nurse because it wasn't for you, nothing in specific happened?"

"No, there wasn't one main event that made me stop. I just got to a point where I couldn't take it mentally. I never wanted to be a nurse, my parents kind of forced me into it."

"That sounds like Trey's parents, even though he's grown to love being a nurse."

"How about your parents...did they force you into it at all, or was it something you knew you wanted to do?"

"I knew I wanted to be a nurse since I was very young. I also knew that when I went to college, I wanted to find something that could support me right after so I could be fully on my own."

"You didn't want to move back in with your parents?"

Uh oh. We're getting on parents territory.

"No," I shook my head, "There was no way I was doing that."

"Do you...not have a good relationship with your parents?" Kori asked carefully.

"I do now, kind of. But it's really difficult to move on from my childhood, and I think they just expected me to and fully forgive them for all they did."

We're officially in parents territory.

Kori looked genuinely interested in everything I was saying.

"You don't have to tell me what they did. But I'm listening."

"I don't share this often, with pretty much anyone. My dad is an alcoholic. He's sober now, but he was far from it when I was younger. When he would drink, he would get abusive. Mentally and physically. My mom wasn't abusive, but she knew what was happening, and did absolutely nothing about it."

My heart was pounding as I shared this with Kori.

To my surprise, Kori put her hand on mine.

"I'm really sorry to hear that," she said, looking at me, "I can imagine it's extremely difficult to try and maintain a relationship with them now."

"It is. They'll talk about memories from my childhood like nothing ever happened, meanwhile I'm 27 years old and still haven't moved past it," I said as Kori listened to me, watching me speak.

"Sorry," I continued, "Totally not trying to make this depressing or all about me."

"You're not. You're telling me about yourself, and I want to hear it all," Kori said to me, "Really, Ashley. I do."

I looked at Kori and said softly, "I want to hear all about you, too."

"Then we'll keep getting to know each other," Kori said, and I swore I saw her eyes flicker down to my lips for a millisecond, "I...definitely want to get to know you. In more ways than one."

"In more ways than one."

Kori said that last sentence softer than the rest, and I knew exactly what she meant.

"And what exactly are those other ways that you want to get to know me?" I asked Kori, already feeling a spark of something in the air that wasn't present a few seconds before.

"Of course, I want to get to know you. Everything about you. Your past, your present. Your likes, your dislikes. All of the things that make you Ashley. However, that includes getting to know your body as well. Believe me, I plan on getting to know your body, and making you feel really fucking good, as long as you want that."

My breath hitched as I looked at Kori, taking in every word she said to me, "I want that. Badly. All of it."

Kori then took a step away from the island, and instead stood in front of me. I leaned back against the hard, smooth granite of the counter as Kori looked down at me.

I grew breathless as her gaze bore into me, and Kori lightly placed her hands on my hips.

"Is it okay if I touch you?" she asked me quietly.

"Anywhere you'd like," I found myself saying back to her, feeling pressure grow between my legs. I knew where I really wanted her to touch me, and I wasn't sure if she was going to go there. Or if we should.

Kori's eyebrows raised slightly, and she said back to me, still quietly, "Anywhere I'd like?"

I swallowed nervously and nodded, "Anywhere."

Kori leaned in slightly and said to me, "I know exactly where I want to touch you, Ashley. But I want you to show me how much you want me to touch you."

Immediately, I could feel myself start to yearn for Kori even more.

Kori was now inches away from my lips, and I said to her, "Well, you should probably kiss me first. Step one of me showing you how much I want you to touch me."

"Gladly," Kori said, with a slight smirk, and she then leaned in and kissed me.

As Kori's lips met mine, she held onto my hips firmly, and quickly pressed me up against the side of the kitchen island, deepening the kiss.

I lightly moaned into her mouth as she nibbled my bottom lip lightly and teasingly, and she responded with, "I'm going to make you moan much louder than that, Ashley."

Before I could respond, Kori moved her lips down from my mouth down to my neck, and I gasped as her lips caressed my skin.

"Fuck," I murmured, feeling the pressure between my legs grow, my body reacting to Kori's every kiss and touch.

Kori's lips traveled back up to mine, and she kissed me intensely, showing me how much she wanted me.

Kori's hand then started to linger underneath my sweater, and she said, "I know you said I can touch you anywhere, but is this okay, Ashley?"

I nodded, "More than okay...please, keep touching me, Kori."

Kori flashed me a grin and said, "I'm going to make you beg a lot harder than that."

I gasped again as Kori's hand traveled upwards, and then underneath my bra. She cupped my breast, using her thumb to massage my nipple lightly, her hand warm against my sensitive skin.

As she used her hand, her lips once again met my neck, and I couldn't help but to moan out loud at the sensation of her lips on me, and her hand and fingers on my breast, and her other hand still gripping my waist, sending a shiver down my spine.

I lightly parted my legs, showing her how much I needed her, and Kori leaned in and whispered urgently against my hair, "Tell me exactly what you want from me.

"Your fingers inside me, Kori. Please," I practically whimpered, "I need you...please."

There was a glimmer of teeth as Kori pulled away and flashed me a mischievous smile, "What was that?"

"I need you, Kori. Now."

Kori's hand that was gripping my waist traveled down to my ass and as she squeezed it firmly, rocking her hips against me at the same time. The movement of her hips against mine sent heat throughout my body, and I knew that when Kori touched me, I was going to be soaked against her fingers already.

Still with one hand gripping my ass, Kori moved the hand that was playing with my breast down to the zipper of my jeans, I squirmed beneath her as she pulled down the zipper with one swift movement.

Kori looked right at me as she slipped one hand into my lace underwear, and I gasped her name out loud as she parted me and ran two fingers between my folds and started massaging my clit just as she did with my nipple, stimulating me more and more by the second.

"You are soaked," she looked at me, "I fucking love it, I love how wet you are for me."

"Please don't stop," I groaned, and then gasped loudly as Kori inserted one finger inside me.

Kori pressed her lips against mine as she drew the finger out that she had inserted inside of me seconds before, and she paused for a split second before plunging two fingers inside of me.

This started to send me over the edge, and my legs buckled underneath Kori's embrace as her mouth caught my moans.

As Kori's fingers plunged inside of me, she used her thumb to stimulate my clit, driving me wild. Her touch was fast, aggressive and confident, as if she was using every single but of herself to please me.

I could feel myself starting to come undone at her touch, and I said in between kisses, "I'm...getting...close..."

"That's it," Kori murmured in my ear, "Good girl. I need you to cum for me, Ashley. Can you do that?"

Kori's praise and command sent me over the edge, and I came undone, feeling myself tighten around her fingers as the orgasm rolled through me, making me moan Kori's name out loud.

"Kori, fuck!" I gasped, writhing beneath her. She didn't stop until my body relaxed, and she slowly removed her fingers and pulled her hand out of my underwear.

She looked at me with adoration in her eyes, "Watching you come undone like that was incredibly hot."

"You certainly know what you're doing, Kori," I said, breathless, looking at her as well.

"That was just with my hands. Imagine what else I can do," Kori said, raising her eyebrows suggestively, "I'll just have to show you sometime."

I was surprised as Kori then leaned down and kissed my forehead gently. When she pulled away, I looked up at her, and she looked back down at me and smiled, her hands gripping the island on either side of me.

Fuck.

What is this woman doing to me?
