I did my best not to look at her. To gaze upon that beautiful body that I had come to love, but couldn't have, would simply be too painful.
"Look at me."
I could not meet her gaze. I knew I wouldn't be able to resist her if I did.
"Look at me, Sue."
Something in her voice made me look at her. I drank in the sight of her naked body like wine. I finally met her gaze and to my horror and delight her eyes were filled with lust.

Sue Trinder sat silently in the library at Briar observing one of Maud writing sessions. She was daydreaming about one of their little "adventures" when Maud accidently knocked a book down from a desk that hit the floor with a loud thud. Watching her made her think about all the things she loves about Maud Lily.
She loves how intense Maud face looks when she reads books out loud.
She loves the way Maud strokes her hair before they go to sleep.
She loves how Maud can whisper things in her ear that makes her blush from head to toe.
She loves the way Maud's hair sticks to her face on a hot day.
She loves the way Maud bites her lip when she's nervous.
She loves the way Maud's brow furrows when she writes.
She loves….
"Sue?" Maud said quietly. "What are you thinking about?"
Sue smiled. "Nothing in particular, my pearl".
