“Good morning! Sorry, am I late?” 

Funky Y, or Eunji, as Lia had learned to call her, entered the conference room. She was breathing a little hard, as if she just ran all the way here.

“No, we’re just really early. Come on, sit.” Lia smiled at her, motioning to the seat in front of her.

She was already deep in discussion with Monika when Eunji came in. They were able to talk about the concept for the overall performance, already creating storylines that fit the theme. 

“What did I miss?” Eunji asked excitedly. The woman was pretty chipper for someone who usually works in the afternoon.

Lia called the two of them today to discuss a performance for a prestigious event that she was invited to perform in.

And naturally, she picked the two best dance professors in her academy to dance with her.

Monika took the lead in catching Eunji up about what they came up with while she wasn’t there, talking about the concept and what each other’s roles would be. 

The woman’s natural leadership skills always shine through in meetings like this, and it didn’t fail to impress Lia. People would probably think that Monika’s undermining her position as the head director and overall leader of the team, but she actually didn’t mind. Lia was at ease letting Monika take the reins.

She had full trust in the woman, having known each other since they were teenagers. They basically grew up together, sharing hardships and experiences that made not only their friendship stronger, but their work-relationship as well.

Eunji was more of a newcomer, but in the two years that she had been working for Lia, she knew that she was one of a kind. She was not only beautiful, smart and an amazing choreographer, her strong work ethic was something that Lia had always admired. 

She had always wanted to create this exact team but never had a chance to. So when the opportunity finally arose, Lia didn’t think twice and immediately contacted the two of them.

And she wasn’t disappointed as she watched them exchange brilliant ideas, one after the other. Lia didn’t even have to do anything but sit back, letting them do their thing. They’d look at Lia’s direction for approval every now and then, and she’d give them a nod or some comments in response.

Lia also couldn’t help but wonder if maybe they’re putting in the extra effort because they wanted to impress her. She had noticed that every time she worked with either of them, they’d always be at the top of their game. Like they were trying to prove something to her.

Or maybe that’s just who they are. However, Lia still couldn’t help but ponder.

She remembered how both Eunji and Monika expressed interest towards her and asked her out on separate occasions. It wasn’t new to her to have suitors amongst her employees, so she wasn’t surprised that the two of them wouldn’t be an exception. 

But among all of them, they were the ones Lia felt the most bad about turning down.

If only her ex-girlfriend didn’t ruin everything for her, she wouldn’t have had this stupid rule of never mixing business with her dating life.

Her ex also used to be an instructor under her company. But when things turned south and Lia had to break up with her, the woman slandered her name in return.

She spread some rumors about Lia stealing other dancers’ choreographies, saying that she didn’t deserve the success and recognition she had right now.

Lia had spent months trying to clear everything up. Thankfully, a lot of her colleagues defended her that time and took her side. And people seemed to believe her more.

It was one of the messiest break-ups she had ever had, and it was a situation that she didn’t want to experience again. So she swore to herself to never shit where she eats.

The meeting ended after an hour. As Lia expected, they were able to finish everything on their agenda, including the song they would use and the genre of their performance.

They agreed to meet tomorrow to start their first practice, and told them to use the rest of the day to create some choreography.

She returned to her office alone, exhilarated at the project she was about to do with both women.

The next day came and as always, Monika was already there when she arrived. They were in the private practice room at the top floor of her studio’s building, specially reserved for important rehearsals like this.

The woman was on the floor, doing some stretches. Monika was wearing her usual baggy shirt and sweatpants combo, and Lia envied how it looked so effortlessly cool on the woman. 

Monika winked at her as she saw Lia, her own version of Hi, nice to see you again!. All those years of seeing and greeting each other made her forgo the usual pleasantries.

And Lia was fond of it.

Before she could say something in greeting, Eunji followed suit and entered the room.

“Hello, my unnies!”

“Someone’s getting familiar.” Monika said, teasing the blonde.

It seemed like a bond was already created during that first meeting yesterday, and Lia couldn’t be more glad. It seemed like the three of them would be able to work with each other well.

“It’s alright to call you guys ‘unnie’, right?”

“Fine by me.” Lia shrugged.

“Yeah, I prefer it over ‘teacher’ anyway.” Monika retorted.

“Cool, cool.” Eunji said as she removed her outer jacket. She was wearing a fitted cropped tank top underneath, and Lia observed how her style was the complete opposite of Monika’s.

While Monika was the epitome of a cool, handsome woman, Eunji was the embodiment of femininity and sexiness.

Lia might be against dating them, but she supposed it isn’t a crime to appreciate beautiful, attractive things.

After a few minutes of doing stretches and warm ups, they were finally trying out the choreographies that each of them prepared.

The theme of the performance is about a queen and her aides, where both aides were trying to compete on being the best and being the favorite. They wanted to go for a performance that was sensual but classy, coupled with fluid but powerful movements.

The role of the queen went to Lia, which was decided by both Eunji and Monika saying how it was only fitting since she’s their boss and all. It thrilled Lia, of course, but not because she’d have an important role in the dance.

It was because she couldn’t help but find the situation similar to their current realities.

And since both were unaware that the other harbored at least some kind of crush on her, it was like having an inside joke with herself.

They started working on the intro and up to the first half of the song, until Lia told them to take a fifteen-minute break.

But break to Monika meant that she would talk to her more about the performance and how they could do the finale. Lia already expected it, knowing how much of a perfectionist the woman is.

The other reason why she liked working with Monika was because they’d rarely clash, making it easy to collaborate with her. It was also probably due to the fact they were so similar in terms of their ideas and the way they create a concept. Growing up together likely put their brains on the same wavelength.

Maybe that’s why they were so compatible in bed, a one-time thing that Lia vowed to never repeat again. It was a lapse in Lia's judgment, a moment of weakness. Monika was just so sweet, caring and had never left her side when her ex sabotaged her, that Lia couldn’t help it. Also, she was just so stressed and emotional that time that all she wanted was a distraction from everything.

And Monika was a willing participant.

It’s not that she regretted doing it, because the sex was explosive. No, she regretted it because after a week from the night they slept together, Monika confessed to her, saying that she wanted to be in a serious relationship with her.

Spoiler alert: Lia had to turn her down. It was one of the hardest decisions of her life.

At one point, she feared that Monika would take the rejection poorly and that she would quit on her. Thankfully, she just accepted it coolly, like the younger woman had already anticipated it. She was relieved, because Monika was too important in her life and in her company that she wouldn’t know what to do if she left.

Monika and Lia continued discussing, with some banter and jokes as they talked. Just as when Lia was laughing at something Monika said, Eunji approached them.

“So, I have this really cool idea for the ending.”

“Oh, great, we were just talking about that.” Lia said, trying to keep her laughter down.

And then Eunji relayed a really fresh and interesting suggestion, something that both she and Monika hadn’t thought of before.

She offered a new perspective to Monika and Lia’s almost identical tastes. Putting all of them together was truly the best decision Lia had ever made. 

The idea that Eunji gave immediately made an impact on Lia, and it inspired her to want to try making a choreography for it instantly. 

Monika seemed to like it, too, if her stunned, amazed face was anything to go by.

But Lia noticed that she was awfully quiet, as well. The woman definitely hated it when someone was better than her. Sometimes, it would even be the cause of their conflict, and Monika could get really petty when provoked. Lia didn’t know whether Monika’s competitiveness was her strength or flaw. Or maybe it’s both.

Before Monika’s mood got worse, Lia announced that they should go back to practice and finish the whole routine.

Which proved to work as she saw how Monika slowly started getting back to her usual self, taking the lead again as they worked through the dance. 

After an hour and thirty minutes, they successfully completed choreographing the whole performance. 

Monika was already in a wonderful mood by the end of it, and she was even inviting herself to Lia's house for some drinks. Lia just shook her head affectionately. 

“What if I say no?” Lia teased.

“You won’t.” Monika said, sounding certain. 

“And why is that?” 

“Because you love hanging out with me.” Confidence filled Monika’s voice.

Lia rolled her eyes, “Debatable.”

“Oh, come on. When was the last time we hung out together?” 

“You were just at my house last week.” Lia deadpanned. Monika could be so dramatic.

“Exactly.” Like she really just proved a point. 

Lia laughed, finally letting her win. She actually didn’t mind and she would’ve agreed as soon as Monika asked, but where would be the fun in that?

“Fine.” Lia sighed, acting as though it inconvenienced her.

She didn’t notice that Eunji was just standing there, watching them as they banter and looking out of place. Lia felt a little bad, so she turned to her and extended the invitation.

Besides, it was a great opportunity to get to know the dancer more. 

Lia looked at Monika and as she predicted, the woman looked a little annoyed. Lia gave her a subtle warning glare as if to say play nice, to which Monika just rolled her eyes in response but relented. She saw how she turned to Eunji and gave her a bright smile, which looked suspiciously fake, and said, “Yeah, why not?”

And so they found themselves in Lia’s home after an hour. They ate dinner as soon as they got there, eating the takeouts they ordered along the way. Lia was initially worried about how it would go since it was the first time that all three of them got together like this, but dinner actually went really well.

Monika asked Eunji some questions about her career, asking her about what she did before she joined Lia’s company, and some stuff about her work that Lia already knew back when she’d had the chance to chat with her.

It was all very professional, and no personal questions were asked. Which was a shame since it was actually something Lia was dying to know more about. She didn’t want to ask her herself because she didn’t know if Eunji might be okay with it. She didn’t want to seem like the kind of boss who’d pry into her employees’ personal business.

Maybe once the drinks start pouring in, they’d be able to be more comfortable with each other.

After dinner, Lia gave Eunji a short tour of the house. She felt proud as she heard the amazed gasps the blonde dancer was giving her as she showed each part of her home, including the massive yard overlooking the mountains outside.

“If I lived here, I would never ever leave.” Eunji said in wonder.

“I didn’t think you were the type to be a hermit.”

“Really? Then what do you think my type is?” Eunji gave her a teasing but intrigued look, anticipating her answer. 

Lia just smirked, playing along, “The type to not be a hermit.”

“I didn’t know you were a comedian.” Eunji chuckled as she shook her head.

“I’m just naturally funny.” 

“And pretty humble, too.” the blonde said with a straight face, but Lia could see how she was trying to hold back a grin. 

It was reminding her all too much of her ex, and how she used to be this comfortable with her, too. Despite being her superior, she had always treated her like they were equals, friends. It was one of the qualities that eventually led her to fall for the woman.

It didn’t help that her ex and Eunji were the same age, too. They were both almost 7 to 8 years younger than her.

That bitter reminder brought her back to reality. The reality that she shouldn’t cross a line again that shouldn’t be crossed.

With a regretful smile, she said, “Let’s go back inside. Monika must already be waiting for us.” 

They went back to the living room, where Monika was already pouring them each a glass of whiskey.

Lia sat on the floor beside Monika, Eunji following her and sitting on her other side. They sat facing her huge coffee table where their drinks lay.

They each took a glass, clinking it before they took a sip. 

Oh, that’s some great whiskey. Monika opened the perfect bottle.

Conversation easily flowed through for the next ten minutes, until Eunji asked them a question. 

“So, how long have you known each other? You seem to have a pretty close relationship.” Eunji probably tried to sound uninterested, but Lia could tell how curious she actually was about it.

Monika spoke first, “Well, I first met Lia when I was in highschool. She was my first dance teacher.” 

“And she was the most stubborn student I’ve ever had,” Lia said teasingly, but Monika just looked proud of herself, “but definitely one of the most passionate and hardworking.” Lia ended it with a genuine compliment earning her an equally sincere smile from the woman in return.

“Wow, and you’ve been dancing together since then?” Eunji said, amazed as she looked at them. 

“Pretty much.” Lia confirmed. 

Eunji nodded understandingly, “More than 20 years of friendship. I have to say, I’m pretty jealous.”

Monika just shrugged, but a pleased smile was on her face. Then she looked at Eunji’s direction, “Enough about us. Tell us more about yourself. Are you single?” Monika said with a devilish grin.

Lia immediately turned to look at the blonde. She hated how she was so interested in this.

Eunji chuckled, “Sadly, yes.” she glanced at Lia then, and the knowing look the woman gave her made her break eye contact instantly.

Lia sure as hell hoped that the young dancer wouldn’t decide to share some particular information right now.

Especially not with Monika present.

Oh, did she forget to mention? She’s sort of in a non-relationship relationship with the woman as of the moment.

After Lia turned her down, Monika declared that she would accept her decision, but she still wouldn’t stop liking her. 

“Just let me take care of you. You don’t have to like me back. If you’re still not comfortable with it, let me know and I’ll stop.”

And Lia had never once told her to stop. Because if she was being honest? She was loving the attention and care that the woman was willingly giving her a little too much. 

The fact that one of the most feared and respected dancers in the industry only had eyes for her? Lia had to admit that it gave her a special thrill.

She probably would’ve given her a chance if only she wasn’t afraid of ruining their years of friendship. Or that it would somehow end up badly like it did with her ex.

(She still wasn’t swayed even when Monika assured her that she was nothing like that manipulative bitch. Her words, not Lia’s)

That one night was enough. 

A night that in Lia’s books, one of the best sexual experiences she has ever had. It was just a shame that it wouldn’t ever happen again.

Eunji spoke again, directing her look at Monika this time, “What about you?”

Lia froze. She really didn’t like where this was going. She could only imagine how awkward it would be for her if Monika suddenly revealed their situation with another person who also expressed interest over her.

“It’s complicated.” Lia could feel Monika’s gaze on her, “But I do have my eyes set on someone.” her friend confessed, wistful.

She could feel her cheeks heating up. 

“Oh my God.” Eunji suddenly exclaimed after a few moments. Lia immediately looked at her in confusion.

“What?” Monika asked, also looking a little startled at the blonde woman’s outburst.

“It’s Lia. You like Lia.” 

And so the topic that Lia desperately wanted to avoid finally came to light. She blamed Monika and those loving eyes that were looking at her with so much affection.

She glared at Monika, and the woman just held her hands up in response.

“Why are you looking at me like that? I didn’t even say anything.”

“Well, you were being obvious.” Lia said, unamused.

“Guys, it’s okay. It’s just me. If you’re keeping whatever this is,” Eunji gestured to the two of them, “a secret, it’s safe with me.” Then the blonde looked at her and winked. 

At least she was being cool about this. Eunji had probably already moved on from her. 

Lia was both relieved and yes, maybe she was a bit disappointed. But that’s only for her and only her to know.

“I do wanna ask, though. Are you guys together, like for real, or are you just fuck buddies? Because I’m picking up a vibe.” 

Lia almost choked on her own saliva. She didn’t know Eunji could be this brazen. She was impressed but at the same time, a little horrified.

Monika seemed to find it funny though, as she heard her laugh from her side.

“We’re not.” Lia finally said.

“You’re not together or you’re not fuck buddies?” 

This smartass.

“Both.” Monika answered for her, her laughter dying down, “I tried to ask her out, but she rejected me. And we only had sex once. Never happened again.”

Lia elbowed her. She was too honest for her own good.

And maybe she just really wanted this topic to end.

“What? It’s true.” Monika chuckled, holding her arm as if it hurt. She didn’t even hit her hard.

“Let me guess, she turned you down because she didn’t want to get involved with people she works with?” Eunji raised an eyebrow at Lia, amusement showing in her features. 

Lia could only sigh at the inevitable. Why did she think that putting these two together in the same room was a great idea? 

“Exactly. Wait, how did you know?” Monika asked, genuinely confused.

“Because that’s what she said to me, too.” 

There it is. 

If Lia could disappear right now, she’d do so in a heartbeat.

“Wait, you like Lia, too?” Monika’s tone suddenly got a little serious. This is why Lia wanted to avoid this exact situation.

She knew how possessive and jealous Monika could be.

“Who doesn’t?” Eunji just shrugged.

Thankfully, Monika relaxed her features at that, “Touché.”

Then Eunji elaborated, “But yeah, I did ask her out in my first year of working in the academy. She was someone I’ve admired for years and yes, maybe I’ve developed a little bit of a crush,” Eunji said truthfully, “so when I landed the job here and found out that she was single? I took my chances and tried to take her out on a date. I didn’t even know if she was into women at the time.” Eunji relayed, chuckling. “I was so blinded with my admiration that I didn’t even think of the risks then. I didn’t even think about the possibility of offending Lia and getting fired. Fortunately, she was kind and professional about it.” 

Lia couldn’t help but blush profusely at that. This was actually the first time she was hearing about the reason why Eunji asked her out. 

She cleared her throat, “I don’t fire people for having a crush on their boss. If I did, I probably wouldn’t have any employees left.” Lia smirked, “As long as you’re good at your job, then you’re fine.”

Eunji beamed at her, seeming to be flattered at the remark.

“How do you feel about her now? Do you still have a crush?” Monika suddenly inquired. The serious tone in her voice was back.

Eunji seemed to ponder the question a bit, “Honestly?” she met Lia’s eyes then, “I still have a massive crush, but I’m respecting her decision.”

“How chivalrous of you.” Monika said, a little sarcastic.

She couldn’t help but reprimand her, “Shin Jungwoo.” she warned as she gave her a glaring look.

Monika just rolled her eyes.

“Don’t worry, I’m not going to make a move on her anymore.” Then Eunji’s face shifted into something mischievous, “Unless she wants me to.” and winked at Lia.

Even though she was probably joking, Lia would be lying if she said that it didn’t have an effect on her. The young woman had always been proper and professional with her after she had turned her down, and she had never mentioned anything related to it since then. This was the first time that she was outright flirting with Lia, and it definitely intrigued her to say the least.

“Oh, you’re full of shit.” Monika grumbled beside her.

Lia’s already used to this kind of attitude that she couldn’t find it in her to be annoyed anymore. And her possessiveness has proved to be useful especially during those times when she’d receive unwanted advances from other people, and Lia wasn’t in the mood to deal with them herself. 

One snide remark and scornful look would immediately send them away, cowering in fear. 

But this time, Lia didn’t particularly want Monika to do the same thing to Eunji.

Even though she had turned them both down, Lia still liked reveling in the feeling of being the apple of their eyes. 

Yes, it may sound a little egocentric, but as much as it pained her to admit, Lia was lonely.

The attention and admiration from these two remarkable women was something that Lia didn’t want to let go of yet. Sure there wasn’t a short line of people that she could still get this from, but no one was as special as Monika and Eunji.

She was afraid that once their adulation had died down, they’d stop hanging around her. Maybe it was her own insecurity making her think this way, but she feared that they were only acting like that with her because of their attraction towards her. 

“Excuse me?” Eunji appeared to be offended, maybe a little insulted, “I’m sorry, I thought you guys weren’t together. What’s with the hostility?” Eunji frowned as she crossed her arms.

It seemed like Eunji wasn’t as easily intimidated by Monika like those other suitors. She looked at the young woman, impressed that she wasn’t unfazed by the menacing woman.

Lia tried to hide a smirk. It looks like Monika had finally found a match.

Her friend scoffed, and Lia saw the disbelief coloring her features, “Because unlike you, I still haven’t given up on Lia.”

“Why am I not surprised that you’re the type to not take ‘no’ as an answer?” Eunji easily retorted. 

There was a pause, and Lia immediately felt the rapidly freezing tension in the air as she waited for Monika’s response. She slowly watched her friend’s reaction, turning from surprised to incredulity and finally, turning into something dangerously furious. Even Lia was scared for Eunji’s life. 

“What did you just say?” Monika’s tone was frighteningly controlled. It was worse than hearing her actually scream.

“Obviously she has rejected you in God knows how many times you’ve tried, seeing as you’re still not together.” Something must’ve snapped inside Eunji because she wasn’t definitely backing down. And as Lia had observed, she could also see a fierce look in her eyes, almost the same as Monika’s.

Eunji had probably seen through Monika’s bullshit, and it appeared that she wasn’t taking any of it.

At least Lia wouldn’t have to worry about scaring the blonde away for good. 

“I’m not some kind of sleaze who’s forcing myself onto her. I just decided not to move on from what I feel for her.” Monika hotly defended.

“Yeah, yeah, same thing.” Eunji just rolled her eyes at her, as if mocking Monika.

“It really isn’t.” Monika looked like she was about to explode now.

Lia had to subdue the situation before it became worse. As much as it amused her seeing Eunji stand up for herself, it also wouldn’t be good for anyone involved if Monika finally reached her limits. 

So she finally spoke, cutting in, “Eunji, it’s really not what you think. Monika had been nothing but respectful and considerate. She had never once made me feel unsafe or uncomfortable. You don’t have to worry about it.” 

The dancer looked at her then and paused, as though searching her face. Eunji sighed after a few seconds, seemingly found her to be telling the truth, and relented. 

“Okay, fine. Sorry for assuming otherwise.”

Lia turned to Monika and saw that she had her arms crossed and a smug look was on her face. She almost thought that the woman would even stick her tongue out. She hit her lightly in the arm, reprimanding her, and Monika just gave her an expression that said why me? and pouted.

She continued giving her a stern look, leaving no room for argument, until Monika yielded and grumbled, “Apology accepted.”

And when Lia thought that they were finally done, Eunji spoke again.

“I just think it’s unfair.” she said as she took a sip of her whiskey.

“What, pray tell, is unfair to you?” She could hear the exasperation in Monika’s voice.

“That you at least got to experience being with Lia before she made the decision to turn you down. While I got rejected the moment I asked her out.”

Uh, what?

Monika laughed but there was no humor in it. Lia had to admit that she found it offensive as well. While she found her brazen attitude amusing earlier, it was all getting a bit much now. She’s dangerously crossing a line.

“What are you implying? You want to have a try at Lia before she makes her decision whether she wants to have a relationship with you or not? We’re not at some grocery store where people hand out free tastes before you buy them. Who do you think she is?” Monika vehemently said in Lia’s defense. The vexed look on her face was back and it seemed to be even worse than before.

Even Lia was getting confused with what Eunji’s point was.

“I didn’t mean it like that.” the blonde said, but she didn’t even sound affected. Like she was already expecting Monika’s reaction.

“Then what did you mean?” Monika was getting impatient now.

“I just meant that she had a valid reason to turn you down.” Eunji said, nonchalant. And was that a growing smirk on her face?

Then it hit Lia as she observed and watched the young dancer look as unbothered as she could. She finally understood what she was trying to do.

She’s intentionally making Monika mad.

For what reason, Lia was at a loss. 

But one thing’s for sure, Eunji seemed to be getting a kick out of provoking Monika’s anger.

And Monika was easily taking the bait, “What the fuck are you insinuating? Are you saying that the sex was so bad that Lia was so repulsed and had to turn me down?” 

“You said it, not me.” Eunji’s full on smirking now, as if she didn’t just light up the fuse of the bomb. The bomb that went by the name of Monika.

It was like watching a tennis match, as Lia watched the two of them argue from both sides. 

And truthfully, she was getting a bit tired of it. They were bickering and squabbling as if Lia wasn’t in the room and it felt a little disrespectful. 

“You little shi–”

“Stop it! Both of you.” Lia had had enough.

“What? She started it!” 

“I was just making an observation. Not my fault you have anger management issues.” Eunji said, and she could also hear the genuine annoyance in that tone.

Frustration was already building up inside Lia. No one was backing down and Monika even looked like she was about to attack Eunji physically.

And that’s when a crazy idea hit her. Maybe it was the alcohol in her system that led her to this line of thinking but when she saw Eunji about to open her mouth again, Lia didn’t waste any time and grabbed the blonde’s face and smacked her lips with her own.

It was more of a peck with a little force, and there was nothing sexual about it. Lia only did it because their fighting was honestly grating on her last nerve and she badly wanted them to shut the hell up. 

She immediately heard two gasps, one a little muffled as she kissed Eunji. Lia meant for their lips to stay connected for a good three to five seconds, and planned to pull away after that. But then, she felt the blonde’s lips opening up, suddenly capturing her mouth fervently.

Lia’s eyes widened as she felt the warm, wet mouth moving against her own. She felt her heart pounding a little faster, surprised at the woman’s actions. 

This was definitely not Lia’s intention.

But Lia would also be lying if she said that it didn’t feel nice.

She stayed frozen for a few seconds until she wasn’t able to resist anymore as she opened her mouth and properly kissed Eunji back. 

All sense must've left her then because she couldn’t seem to stop. She had probably lost her mind because this was going against everything she promised herself she wouldn’t do.

Not to mention the fact that she was doing this in front of another person? It’s insanity.

But Lia was tired, so tired of controlling herself that she just let herself do this once.

Besides, one kiss couldn’t hurt.

Just as when Eunji slipped her tongue inside and Lia moaned at the feeling of their soft flesh meeting, she felt herself being roughly pulled away from the passionate kiss.

“Hyerang-unnie, what the fuck?”

And perhaps Lia, too, was already done with Monika’s rage, and she just wanted it all to stop, that it prompted her to do exactly what she did to Eunji. Something that would effectively shut her up.

“Hush.” And Lia leaned in, seizing Monika’s downturned lips. 

She could feel the woman hesitating at first, her lips rigid in shock. Lia could hear the wheels in Monika’s mind turning, probably thinking whether she should just go with it or put a stop to it. 

But when Lia sucked on her bottom lip, nibbling on it with her teeth, it finally made Monika spur into action. She took Lia’s face in her hands, finally responding to the kiss.

It was certainly the most unconventional way of getting them to stop fighting, but definitely not the worst.

When Monika’s kisses were turning a bit passionate after a few moments had passed, Lia knew that she had to break it up before she got lost in those soft lips. So she begrudgingly pulled away from her, breathing hard as they separated.

She had succeeded in finally stopping them from attacking each other anyway.

But before Lia could finish catching her breath, she felt herself being turned around. 

And crashed into another set of lips. Again.

“My turn.” Eunji whispered as she took her mouth onto hers. She was so shocked that she almost didn’t register Monika sweeping her hair and peppering kisses on her neck. 

Oh my God. What did Lia just get herself into?

She pushed Eunji slightly, trying to get her words out, “Mmwhat are… you two doing?” 

But Lia was already getting dizzy with arousal. The way Eunji just continued kissing her fiercely, and the way Monika sucked a particular spot on her neck that made her tremble… it was too much for her brain to handle.

Then Monika reached her earlobe and bit on it gently. Lia couldn’t resist moaning into Eunji’s lips.

“I thought this is what you wanted.” Monika said, her breath tickling her ear.

“I just wanted you both… to stop… fighting...” Lia let out in between kisses.

“It worked, didn’t it?” Eunji said, breaking the kiss a bit.

Then another hand was on her cheek, turning her face the other way with a little force. As though Monika had already given Eunji enough time and it was now her turn to kiss Lia.

She heard Eunji groan, seemingly annoyed that she was taken from her but quickly recovered as she felt the woman’s lips on her shoulders. She felt the thin sleeve of her top being slid down, giving Eunji’s lips more skin to latch on. 

Lia knew she had to stop, but the feeling of both women’s lips on hers felt all too good. As time went by, her willpower to put an end to this madness was almost close to none.

Well, what could she do? Lia’s just human. And humans are weak to wicked temptations, and she wasn’t any exception to it. Especially when these temptations are two beautiful, remarkable women, both wanting her. 

Which is why she finally stopped trying to suppress this hunger, letting herself succumb to her deepest, darkest desires.

Lia’s whole being was vibrating with anticipation, her mind heady at the event that was about to unfold. 

She had never in her life done this before. Yes, she’s had fantasies but she never really acted on it. Or perhaps because she never had a chance to. She wasn’t as sociable as one would think, liking the comfort of her own home rather than going outside and hanging out with other people.

That’s why Monika would always choose to hang out with her here in her house because the woman knew how much Lia hated going out.

Speaking of Monika, Lia noticed that the woman was suddenly kissing her a little differently this time. The very first kiss that they shared back then was gentle and cautious, as if she was glass that one wrong move could shatter her. But now, it was hard and a little desperate and she could also feel the tinge of possessiveness with the way she was capturing Lia’s mouth over and over again.

Monika really has a hard time turning off her competitive side. Lia couldn’t help but chuckle.

It made Monika break the kiss though, “What’s funny?” She asked, whining a bit. Eunji paused as well, reluctantly straightening up, and Lia was already missing the contact from the both of them.

They probably thought that Lia was already putting an end to this.

Which was the farthest thing from what she wanted. 

No. They were only getting started.

So she just smiled, pecked Monika’s lips and did something that made her guests’ eyes almost bulge out of their sockets. 

She removed her tank top. And because she wasn’t wearing any bra underneath, they were treated to the sight of Lia’s topless form. 

Monika and Eunji were especially zeroing in on her exposed breasts, her nipples immediately getting hard as the air hit it, and Lia saw how they looked seconds away from devouring her at that moment.

It absolutely thrilled her.

Wordlessly, she put both of her palms up, offering it to them and waited. 

Both seemed to hesitate, as though they’re actually thinking this through as they stared at the offered hand. Lia saw how their eyes met each other, and the way they looked at the other was like they’re in a boxing ring and they’re about to start a match.

Then as if they silently communicated, they gave a silent nod to each other, then looked at Lia, smirking.

And the gaze they threw her way was full of lust and hunger, and Lia gulped at the intensity. She could feel and hear how loudly her heart was beating as anticipation and excitement filled her.

After what felt like forever, they finally took both of her hands, standing up and pulled Lia with them. 

“Lead the way.” Monika said in a slightly commanding tone, and damn it, Lia’s knees almost buckled.

With a nod, she took them both by the hands and led them to her bedroom.

As she walked, a sudden thought came to her mind. She needed to have the upperhand in this, or else she could easily be at the mercy of these two strong women. She needed to be the one in control, the one setting the pace. 

She didn’t want this to end up with them fighting over her again and ruin this for her. 

When they’re finally inside her room, Lia took on the attitude she would often have when she needed to show that she’s the woman in charge.

Modulating her voice to be as deep and authoritative as possible, she ordered, “Stand in front of the bed, both of you.”

“Yes, ma’am.” Eunji immediately complied as she passed her. Monika just gave her a salute and a wink.

Normally, Lia would just let that action slide since it wasn’t a big deal. But now, she needed to take that smugness down a notch.

“Jungwoo,” She waited until Monika gave her her full attention. 

Monika gave her an intrigued look in return.

“Strip.”

She saw how the woman furrowed her brow in confusion and she looked like she was about to protest, when Lia spoke again, giving her no time to speak, “Strip, or leave.”

Tension suddenly filled the air when Monika stood there unmoving, staring at Lia like she just grew two heads. She wasn’t about to back down, so she just raised an eyebrow at her, letting her know that she was waiting impatiently. Even Eunji appeared a little scared, as though afraid that they’d actually get in a fight in front of her.

She could see the tell tale signs of Monika’s temper rising, her mouth pursing in annoyance and her face reddening. She glared at Lia, but Lia just crossed her arms unintimidated, and looked every bit the boss that she is despite her state of undress.

After a few minutes of staring each other down, Monika finally heaved a big sigh, probably letting Lia know just how much she despised this, but would still comply anyway.

So she took off her sweatshirt roughly, throwing it hastily, then unbuttoned her jeans and slid it down, kicking it away. 

“Happy?” Monika crossed her arms as if shielding her newly exposed body away from prying eyes. Like she was suddenly feeling insecure. She saw how angry the woman still looked, but there was a hint of uncertainty in her eyes.

She did succeed in taking that arrogance out, but Lia didn’t mean to make her lose her self confidence.

Lia sighed, softening a bit, and she walked towards Monika, “Very much so. You’re such a good girl.” Lia cupped her face and kissed her cheek, a little more lovingly than she intended, then whispered in her ear, “Keep it up and you might be rewarded in return.”

“You better…” Monika probably meant for it to sound threatening, but it came out a bit weak.

The smirk on Lia’s face came back.

It’s time to get down to business.

She then turned to Eunji, her eyes roaming her figure up and down, and tsked.

“Be a dear and get those clothes out of the way.”

Eunji immediately nodded, like she was afraid that one wrong move could send her packing. The once brazen woman from earlier turned into a mere follower that had her wrapped around Lia’s finger.

Lia didn’t want to admit it, but she loved being a woman in power. People hanging onto her every word, people willing to do everything just to impress her, it was all addictive to Lia.

And this moment right here wasn’t an exception.

She smirked as she looked at the two gorgeous women who were now practically naked in front of her, and peered at her as if waiting patiently for her next order.

So Lia gave it to them.

“Kiss, and make up.”

The reaction was instantaneous.

“What?” Monika immediately objected. 

Eunji just looked unconcerned and shrugged her shoulders, as if saying that it wasn’t a bad idea.

“Don’t make me repeat myself.” 

Lia’s breathing was already becoming labored, the thought of making them do something so perverted was making her more aroused than before. 

Who would’ve thought that Lia could be a nasty girl?

Monika groaned, and pulled on her hair, then said, “Fuck it.” 

And pulled Eunji to her, giving her the driest peck known to mankind.

“If that is how you kiss, no wonder Lia rejected you.” Eunji said, chuckling as they broke apart.

Lia laughed with her. It seemed like the fearless woman was back. 

But Monika, not one to get the best of her, pulled Eunji in again, but this time, she kissed her like her life depended on it. The annoyed woman sucked on the blonde’s lip, swallowing her laughter, and Lia even saw how she pushed a tongue inside. 

It was certainly doing things to Lia as she felt her stomach flutter at the sight. She should probably feel dirty ordering them like this, but the sexual haze filling her brain was telling her to leave all sense out the door and just enjoy.

And enjoy, is what Lia did. 

When Eunji finally let out a moan, Monika promptly broke the kiss and wiped her mouth as if it disgusted her. Lia just rolled her eyes at the dramatics.

“Okay. Fair enough.” Eunji breathed out, her face looking flushed.

But Lia wanted more, and seeing the two women kiss gave her a newfound desire that she would definitely love to fulfill right there and then.

She walked over to the side of the bed, her back turned to them. Lia took off her remaining clothes slowly as if putting on a show, knowing that both sets of eyes were watching her every move.

Now fully bare, she crawled on the bed and sat in the middle of it, her back resting on the headboard. She crossed her arms on her chest and lifted her chin up, like a queen looking down on her underlings. 

Both Eunji and Monika stayed glued on their spot, gazing at Lia as if they were about to jump her and eat her alive.

They’d get there soon, but first, “Take your underwears off. Both of you.”

And they hurriedly did so.

It was such a glorious view. Their beautiful, flawless bodies on full display for Lia to feast her eyes on.

“Get on the bed, on your knees,” they followed as they got on the bed and kneeled facing her, “No. Facing each other.”

Monika was about to protest again, but one warning look from Lia made her close her mouth, grumbling as she turned her body to Eunji.

“Now, the door is right there if you don't want to continue this. I’m not going to force you to be here.” Both women turned to her and listened attentively, “But once you stay, you are mine to toy with. Is that understood?”

Wow, even Lia was impressed that she had that side to her.

Fortunately, both seemed to buy it as their jaws dropped and looked at her even more hungrily than before. 

Eunji didn’t hesitate, and nodded her head wordlessly. She was probably too turned on to speak.

Monika, on the other hand, seemed to look at her like she was still figuring her out, and a hesitant expression was on her face. But when Lia only gave her a withering look in return as she waited for her answer, Monika seemed to take it as a sign when she smirked, “It’s not ideal and if it was up to me I’d rather have you all to myself.” then she sighed, her expression becoming a bit more sincere, “But if it meant I get to be with you like this again, then who am I to say no?”

Lia’s heart somersaulted at that. Leave it to Monika to still be a romantic despite their current situation. 

“Is that a yes? I just wanted it to be clear.” Lia tried to hide the effect it had on her.

Then Monika surprised her, and Eunji, when she grabbed the blonde woman by the face and kissed her again.

“Did that answer your question?”

Lia rolled her eyes but it was affectionate, “A simple yes or no would do.”

It was Monika’s turn to roll her eyes 

“Okay. Continue.” Lia gestured to them.

Finally reaching an agreement, Monika turned to Eunji again, and this time, she didn’t show any grumbling under her breath or any signs of irritation. She reached out gently, cupping the younger woman’s face and pulled her in, no roughness in her actions.

The kiss was slow and sensual, and it looked better than any of their kisses tonight so far. They seemed to be finally getting the hang of it, or they’re probably performing better because they’re both amicable now. 

Lia could feel herself getting wetter as she watched them make out like this. She crossed her legs and squeezed, trying to relieve some of the pressure down there.

“Touch each other.” Lia breathily said.

They moaned in response, and without breaking the kiss, their hands roamed each other’s skin. Eunji’s hand squeezed Monika’s bare ass, and Monika’s hands went to her supple breasts, massaging it. 

They both whimpered at the contact, and she even heard Eunji say, “ah… that feels good…”

Lia couldn’t help it. She was going to lose it if she didn’t take care of the pounding between her legs. So, she finally moved her hand to where she was aching the most, spreading her legs apart. When she finally touched herself, she felt how absolutely drenched she was.

She breathed out a soft, “Fuck” as she felt her dripping core, rubbing her finger in a slow, circular motion, her other hand playing with her nipple. She was so turned on that she almost came at the contact.

That sound seemed to stop the two women in their movements as they turned to the source. Surprise was evident in their features, but they seemed to recover in a few seconds. She saw how Monika smirked and gave Eunji a look. The blonde woman grinned as well, as if they just agreed on something. They seemed to be doing pretty well with their non-verbal communication.

Without warning, they were suddenly crawling towards her, both going to opposite sides. When they finally situated themselves beside her and Lia was sandwiched in the middle, Monika took the hand that was on her clit, and sucked on it. She cleaned each finger meticulously, and the visual only made her even soaked.

“Why are you having fun with yourself when you can have fun with the both of us?” Eunji said as she sucked on a sensitive spot on her neck.

“And I definitely don’t want to use my talents on Miss Funky Y alone.” Monika looked over at Eunji, “No offense.”

“None taken.”

“So, do we have your permission to go off the tracks and trust us to give you a night that you won’t ever forget?” 

And Lia didn’t have it in her to refuse anymore, her clit throbbing with need, begging to be relieved. 

Besides, she only wanted to be in control just in case they fought again. It looked like it wasn’t going to happen any time soon, though.

So she nodded wordlessly, and finally surrendered herself to them.

Monika didn’t waste any time going for her hard, perky nipple and put it in her mouth, while Eunji lapped on the other one.

Holy fucking shit.

“Ah! Don’t stop… ah…”

She was already so damn sensitive and the pleasure was so intense that Lia almost came even without touching her clit.

It went on for almost a few minutes until Eunji changed course and went back to her neck and bit on it, giving her full access as Lia threw her head back.

Monika also left her breast then, but went in the other direction. She felt her lips traveling downwards, licking every patch of skin that her lips passed. Lia heaved in anticipation, waiting for her to go further down to where she wanted her the most.

After a full agonizing minute, Monika finally positioned herself between her legs, and Lia felt her kissing the inside of her thighs. She mindlessly spread her legs even further apart.

But whenever she would almost reach her damp entrance, Monika would switch to the other leg, repeating the same thing. Kissing her thigh upwards until she reached her groin, then switching again to the other leg.

It irritated Lia to no end, and she let out an angry grunt.

Eunji chuckled, amused, “Monika-unnie, stop teasing.” she said on her behalf.

Thank you, Eunji! Thank you!

“Be patient.” Monika just said in response, laughing as well.

“You know, I could just do it myself.”

But when Lia was about to reach her hand down, Eunji stopped her, taking her hand. It surprised her to say the least.

The amused look on the blonde woman’s face turned into something dangerous as she took both of her hands and put it over her head, trapping it as the blonde hovered over her.

The woman has a naturally intimidating face despite her bright personality, and she had no qualms in using it when the need arose. She would often see her look like this during performances or when she’s trying to look like a strict dance teacher. Lia wasn’t usually intimidated because she knew how Eunji was in person.

But right now? It both terrified and exhilarated Lia at the same time.

“Tsk. Tsk.” the young woman said, “She said, be patient.” Eunji whispered in her face before she captured her mouth in a hot, wet kiss.

The kiss almost distracted her from the fact that the two were ganging up on her, and she was about to tell them off when she finally felt Monika’s tongue swiping on her cunt in the slowest possible way.

Fuck, they’re torturing her.

Lia groaned and Eunji pulled away from her lips to latch on to her right nipple, grazing it with her teeth, her hand pinching the other.

The kind of torture that Lia would willingly go through in a heartbeat.

But then she could feel Monika’s pace gradually increasing, lapping vigorously on the juices that Lia could feel coming out of her non stop. It drove her absolutely mad. And with the added pleasure of Eunji giving extra attention to her nipples, Lia could feel herself getting close. 

Lia had never been aroused and wet like this in her whole life. Her moans and screams filled the room, and she was too far gone to be embarrassed by how loud she was being.

Monika continued her ministrations for a few more moments, and Lia could already feel the orgasm that was about to come.

“Yes, just like that… Don’t stop, please.”

And apparently, because they’re still torturing her, Monika full on stopped. Doing the exact opposite thing of what Lia just told her.

Lia screamed in agony, and sent Monika a deathly glare.

Monika had the audacity to chuckle, “Relax. I’m just giving Eunji a chance to get a taste.”

She groaned, exasperated, “So, now you’re suddenly good at sharing?” Lia huffed.

Monika winked at her, “No time like the present, am I right?”

Lia knew that she was just screwing with her. 

Still, she didn’t know whether to be turned on or to be furious that Monika was taking control of the whole situation fast. Her orgasm suddenly at the mercy of her hands.

She ended up being in a staring game with Monika, still glaring at the woman who was now the one toying with her. 

But Lia needed that release right now, and that would only happen if she let Monika do what she wanted.

With a defeated sigh, she laid back down on her pillow.

“That’s a good girl.”

Even using the same words she said against her? Oh she’s the worst.

“Fuck you.” 

“I hope you do.” 

Despite being annoyed with the woman, she felt excitement fill her at the thought of getting to fuck her friend again. 

Something she had actual dreams about once or twice ever since that night happened. 

Just as she was visualizing the thought of having sex with Monika again, she felt slender fingers slide into her entrance abruptly, making her close her eyes in pleasure. She was so wet that two fingers were able to slip inside, and she gasped, the annoyance quickly diminishing in seconds.

They had her moaning and whimpering in a flash and Lia hated how weak she was in the hands of these two women.

Oh, who was she kidding, Lia is loving every second of it. 

The fingers were joined by a mouth that immediately sucked on her clit, and it sent Lia over the edge.

“Ah, fuck… yes, yes, yes!”

They probably took mercy on her because they didn’t tease her anymore, and the fingers that she realized belonged to Eunji pumped into her hard and fast, her tongue laid flat on her clit and rubbed it side to side, eliciting wondrous cries from Lia.

And Monika who exchanged positions with Eunji, was hungrily lapping on her nipple as she grabbed and squeezed the other, making sure that both her breasts were being given all the attention.

It continued like that for a few minutes until Lia couldn’t take it anymore as she finally reached her climax. Her back arching off the bed, her screams filling the room. But they were relentless as they kept their pace, not stopping until Lia was done riding out her orgasm. 

It was probably one of the longest ones she had ever had. 

She was crying and whimpering at the top of her lungs, as Eunji continued pumping inside her and Monika was still nibbling on her tit.

And when she was really, finally done, she pushed Eunji’s head away gently. Thankfully, she took the hint and slowed down her fingers. 

Lia was heaving hard, sweat forming on her forehead as she tried to catch her breath.

“That was the best fucking orgasm of my entire life.”

They all laughed, but Lia’s body was so drained that in just a few seconds, she was dozing off to the sound of their laughter. 

And then after almost thirty minutes, she was woken up to the sound created by the two women. But they weren’t laughing anymore. 

It’s to the sound of them moaning softly as they indulged on each other, licking and sucking each other’s cunts.

Eunji was laying on her back beside her and Monika was on top of her as they gave each other oral pleasure at the same time.

The position was so freaking erotic to Lia that she felt herself getting aroused immediately, the wetness between her legs returning.

Was she still sleeping and this was actually just a really good dream? 

She pinched herself in good measure. When she felt it and it hurt, she knew that it was definitely not a dream. 

It seemed like they still hadn't noticed Lia was awake, though.

So with slow, careful movements, Lia snaked her hand down her entrance, and rubbed her fingers in a circular motion against her clit. 

Watching two of the most stunning women  Lia had ever laid eyes on pleasuring each other was quickly turning out to be one of Lia’s favorite sights to see.

This was definitely a million times better than porn.

It’s not that she engages in watching those videos often. But with the few times she had let herself see some of it (especially in a particularly lonely, horny night), it felt a little too fake and exaggerated for her liking.

She tried to be as quiet as possible, her pace going as fast and hard as she could, trying to keep up with them lest they reach their climaxes soon.

Which proved to be an easy feat because she was already drenched. She could already hear the slick sound of her wetness as she stroked her finger on her slit. 

Thankfully, the muffled cries of pleasure from the two women were now gradually getting louder. The way their lapping on each other was getting aggressive as well, tell tale signs that they’re reaching their orgasms soon.

And the sound was so sensual and so hot to Lia that it finally did it for her, reaching her orgasm before them.

Wow, that was probably a new record for her with how fast she achieved that. 

It didn’t even last five minutes.

Shortly after that, the two had also probably reached theirs, if the long moans were any indication.

And that’s when they noticed that Lia was finally awake. Eunji saw her first as Monika was getting off on top of her, the blonde turning her head to her direction, smirking.

“Enjoyed the show?”

She forgot she still had her hand between her legs.

She snatched it immediately.

“I thought you two hated each other.” Lia tried to change the subject, but she could feel her cheeks flushing with slight embarrassment at getting caught.

“Yeah, well, after you slept on us we didn’t have any choice. Needs had to be fulfilled, so we just proposed to work together.” Monika said matter of factly, like they’re just working at the studio for a performance and not talking about sex, “It’s less weird than watching each other masturbate.”

Lia just shook her head. But if she was being honest, she was a little relieved.

She knew she was being greedy, but she didn’t want to lose their obsession over her just yet. She was glad to know that they wouldn’t ditch her for each other anytime soon.

After regaining some of her energy back and now fully awake, a wonderful idea suddenly came onto her.

She sat up and got off the bed and went to her closet. She took out a double-headed strap, something that was given as a gift to her but never got to use. She quickly washed it in the ensuite bathroom. 

And Lia smirked as she heard the surprised gasps coming out from her guests. 

She inserted the shorter side that also served as a vibrator on her entrance, and she didn’t even need a lubricant with how slippery she still was.

Their reactions were definitely worth it when she finally came out already wearing it. 

Both women widened their eyes in lust and wonder, and if they could only drool they probably would.

“Since you’ve both been really great tonight, I think it’s time for your rewards.”

And now they all found themselves in a position where all of them are being pleasured. 

At the same time. 

Lia was lying on her back, Eunji straddling the phallic toy, and Monika was sitting on her face.

Eunji and Monika were also facing each other, and Lia could hear the sound of them kissing.

She wished she could see all of it in a different POV, especially with how Eunji was bouncing up and down on her makeshift dick, and she also wanted to see Monika’s face looking orgasmic.

Lia came first as Monika bent a little forward to rub her fingers on Lia’s clit, rubbing it incessantly. 

The two women followed suit not too long after that.

After Lia came down from her high and both women were cuddling her on both sides, she thought of how this night was one of the most memorable nights in her entire life.

She should probably feel ashamed about the whole thing, but the way the two women easily went along with her, she felt nothing but gratification.

The morning came and Lia woke up feeling light and satiated. But she realized that she was all alone in her huge bed. 

Was last night a hallucination? She didn’t even drink that much.

She could already feel doubt creep it but then she turned to her bedside table, and saw a small piece of paper scribbled with something.

Lia sat up and took it immediately, and the words written on it made her smile delightfully. 

Last night was fun. Let’s do it again sometime.
