From Pleasure to Pain

Third-person POV 

 Seraphina stood in front of the mirror with a towel draped loosely around her body and her damp hair feeling all over the place. She was drying it absentmindedly, her eyes occasionally flickering to Electra, who was getting dressed and clearly preparing to leave. 

 The sight made something stir inside Seraphina, a mixture of frustration and daring that she didn't quite understand.

Without thinking, she turned fully to face Electra. "You don't have to leave, you know," she said. "You can just spend the night here."

Electra paused mid-action, turning her head slightly toward Seraphina, her lips curving into that infuriatingly smug smirk that Seraphina had come to both hate and... crave. 

"Oh?" Electra said, amusement dripping from her tone. "I don't think that's a good idea. If we stayed in the same bed all night, I doubt either of us would get any sleep."
