Work Text:
It had been a long day, after a long week, following what felt like an even longer month and Lena was tired. Tired wasn’t even close to an adequate descriptor, but her brain had angrily tossed the dictionary out the window the moment the car door closed, so she had to settle for tired.
She sunk a little deeper into the plush leather of the car seat and unbuttoned the remaining buttons on her black suit jacket and closed her eyes, let the thrum of the car and the city wash over her.
The late evening hustle and bustle of the big city washed over her, the occasional honk and yell was like white noise to her exhausted brain, and she felt herself briefly dip into sleep.
With a herculean effort she pulled herself back out with a deep breath and blinked her eyes open, each blink slow and droopy. The dark interior of the car wasn’t helping and her eyes struggled to focus, the light that came through the windows and the partition were muted by the dark tint.
She let out a sigh and stretched her neck with a miserable groan, cleared her throat with a small cough and shook the sleep off her.
Soft notes of music drifted through the partition from the driver’s side, Frank must have put on some classical music, and she hummed along to the tune absentmindedly as she looked out the window at the skyline.
The clouds were an impressive dark, almost soot grey against a dark evening sky, they had promised rain and thunder.
With some chagrin she realized that she had forgotten her umbrella at the office in her haste to leave on time.
A little rain wasn’t going to stop her from seeing Kara.
She had promised Kara that she was going to be there for dinner tonight and she was going to keep that promise, bad weather or traffic jams be damned.
It had been a long series of unfortunate events for them lately, always some reason to cancel their dates due to unforeseen circumstances, be it Supergirl issues or L-Corp emergencies.
They hadn’t had an uninterrupted meal in weeks, not since The Kiss.
Here Lena’s thoughts lingered, and a slow, warm happiness infused her body, it made her feel invincible. She couldn’t contain her smile, small and private but inordinately pleased.
This time when she closed her eyes, it wasn’t due to sleeps inviting pull but to immerse herself in the memory of that night, to relive the minutia of what had been supposed to be an ordinary night but was instead a monumental shift between her and Kara.
It had been a night not too dissimilar to this one, a late evening at Lena’s office. Both exhausted after a long day of work, and Kara, bless her, had come by with food that they had eaten in a comfortable silence on the couch in Lena’s office.
Kara had left her glasses on the table and had unbuttoned a few buttons on her button-down shirt and Lena had been able to see the dark blue edge of the super suit peeking out, and it kept drawing her attention.
It frankly would have been embarrassing how little she had been able to pay attention to anything Kara had been talking about, if it wasn’t because Kara seemed to welcome the attention, she didn’t shy away from Lena’s interested gaze.
Kara shifted slightly and put her arm up on the back of the couch and rested her head in her hand. This caused the fabric of the shirt to stretch taut and Lena couldn’t tear her eyes away from how the shadows splayed across Kara’s collarbones before they disappeared under the super suit.
“Hey” Kara said softly, infused with a warmth that made Lena look up. The corners of Kara’s eyes was crinkled in amusement and a small smile curled at the edges of her lips.
Kara tilted her head slightly when she had Lena’s attention and a couple of strands of hair drifted along with the movement, settled against her cheekbone and Lena felt a burning in her fingertips to brush those strands back behind Kara’s ear.
Lena realized she should have pursued becoming a painter, she was so captivated with how Kara looked at this exact moment.
She wanted to capture it in heavy strokes of oil paint, in layers so thick you could feel the depth when you ran your fingertips across it, the soft blues of Kara’s eyes, the quiet confidence in the set of her shoulders, the rippling fabric that gave way to golden warm skin.
They had danced around their attraction to each other for a long time, both hesitant to push it any further; the fear of ruining a friendship that meant so much had caused them to linger and dance around each other but something about this night had been different.
Lena felt it and she had an inkling that Kara felt it too and so she leaned into this time, decided to push a little further.
With fake confidence Lena had reached up and carefully pushed Kara’s loose hair strands behind her ear, let her fingertips graze across the tip of her ear and then gently followed the line of Kara’s jaw and ended it with a soft swipe of her thumb against her check before she settled her hand back in her lap.
A thick tension settled over the room and Kara looked intently at Lena, her blue eyes flickered back and forth, cataloged Lena’s face with an intense but restless energy and Lena couldn’t help the nervous swallow it elicited, and Kara’s eyes lowered as they followed the bob of her throat.
Lena almost felt Kara’s eyes like a physical touch and decided to test the waters further.
Lena was no stranger to flirting, and with Kara’s eyes still focused on her neck, she tossed her hair back slightly, a quick moment that made Kara snap her eyes back up to her face with pink tint to her cheeks, a telling blush that she had gotten lost in her own thoughts.
Lena quirked an eyebrow with amusement.
The slightly sheepish look on Kara’s face made Lena huff out a small laughter full of affection and she felt a fondness warm her blood as she looked at Kara.
Kara quickly avoided eye contact and nervously tapped a rhythm with her thumb on one of the pillows on the couch, Lena reached out and covered Kara’s hand with her own and ran a thumb against Kara’s knuckles, tried to soothe her with her presence.
They sat like that for a long moment until Kara took a deep breath, squared her shoulders and twisted her hand so she could entangle their fingers. Lena hummed with a low satisfied note and gave a small squeeze of her hand as a reward for the courage.
“Want to have dinner with me on Saturday at my place?” Lena asked, her voice had a seductive lilt to it that she hadn’t intended to use, but Kara’s presence always wreaked havoc on her carefully controlled emotions.
“Yeah, I would love that.” Kara had answered almost instantly, eyes looked at her like she was something precious, something important that needed to be handled with utmost reverence.
Lena couldn’t help but wet her lips at that look and Kara’s eyes lowered, followed the trail of her tongue across her bottom lip and she saw in real time, the darkening of Kara’s blue eyes and Lena couldn’t hide the hitch in her breath.
Kara leaned in slightly, pulled in by the gravitational pull of their connection, she couldn’t resist this pull anymore than she could resist the healings rays of the sun, it was a fact of nature to her.
Kara grazed the tip of her nose against Lena’s, a small barely there pressure, more of a reassuring touch than anything and Lena couldn’t help but smile and reciprocated the touch. Any tension left in her body seeped out at that touch.
This was Kara, she knew her, Lena trusted her. There was nothing to be afraid off, nothing to worry about. Whatever happened they would handle it together, like they always had.
Lena felt every puff of exhale as it fanned across her face and she angled her head a little, lips barely parted, her heart was pounding a rapid beat, fast as a hummingbird.
“Can I...” Kara hesitated, her voice barely above a whisper. “Can I kiss you?” Lips almost brushed against hers, and Lena didn’t hesitate to answer “Please.”
Their lips slotted together in a brief, tentative kiss and Kara pulled back to look at Lena to make sure she was okay. Lena’s eyes fluttered open and a wide smile slowly bloomed when they made eye contact.
Lena cupped Kara’s cheek and gently cradled her face before she slowly pulled her back in for another kiss.
This kiss went from tentative to heated in the matter of seconds, Kara angled her head slightly and swiped her tongue across Lena’s bottom lip, and Lena couldn’t contain a small approving hum at the feeling and readily opened her mouth and the kiss turned deep and filthy.
Months of tentative flirting and pent-up attraction burst through the barrier and there was no turning back, no way to put this back into its box.
Lena ran her hands down Kara’s neck and settled on her shoulders, dug into the muscles as she nipped on Kara’s bottom lip in return before they broke apart for air, out of breath but loathe to part for too long.
Lena’s lipstick was smudged against Kara’s lips and Lena held Kara’s gaze as she wiped her thumb heavily across Kara’s bottom lip, dragged it with intent.
She quirked an eyebrow in challenge at the stuttered breath that left Kara before she splayed her hands against Kara’s collarbones, rubbed against the dark blue material of the super suit with a curious caress of her fingers.
Lena let out a contemplative hum before she curled her fingers under the collar of the super suit, the back of her fingers pressed tight against Kara’s warm skin, and she tugged to bring Kara back into another kiss and Kara wound her hand into Lena’s hair so she could deepen the kiss further.
One of Kara’s hand splayed almost possessively against the side of her neck and then a thumb pressed against the bottom of her jaw and she followed the movement without question, pliable in Kara’s hands, and tilted her head back. Seconds later Kara’s mouth was hot against the side of her throat as she mouthed open kisses interspersed with gently scrapes of teeth against her neck. Lena tried to bite off the moan that escaped from her lips but to no avail.
The car lurched and jolted Lena from the memory back into the presence. She let out an exhale of frustration through her nose and tried to reign herself in.
They had gotten interrupted not long after that, Supergirl had been needed and Kara had reluctantly left with a quick promise that they would talk at dinner with a soft kiss goodbye.
Only for that to be cancelled due to L-corp issues that demanded that Lena travel to Singapore to assuage unimportant people’s bruised egos. Something that was required too often for her liking, she had no appetite to appease fools but hundreds of people relied on her, so she couldn’t let her pride lead her astray.
They had only managed a couple of stolen kisses here and there since then and Lena needed tonight to be perfect. She really needed a quiet evening with her girlfriend? They hadn’t discussed labels, but Lena would like to think that they were girlfriends.
She couldn’t contain an eyeroll at herself.
Regardless of what they were, Lena wanted some time with Kara, some time to just talk and be in her presence. Maybe watch a movie and cuddle on the couch, if she was lucky.
If someone interrupted them tonight, Lena might just descend into crime and run the criminal underground with an iron fist to ensure Supergirl could have a night off.
Her shoulders slumped a little, she was pretty sure Kara wouldn’t like that, so it would have to stay a thought.
Lena looked out the window and let out a groan of dismay; they had barely moved 3 blocks since she got lost in her thoughts.
She fished her phone out of her pocket and texted Kara to let her know that she was stuck in traffic. She had barely hit send before the sky cracked open and it started pouring down. Lena looked unimpressed at the sky.
Just her luck.
Her phone lit up with Kara’s reply.
“Hope you brought an umbrella. It’s pouring down! ❤️❤️❤️😘”
Lena smiled at the emojis and ran a thumb across the screen, as if she could feel Kara’s love through the screen.
Half an hour later the car came to a stop, a soft squeak of the brakes on the wet pavement, the streetlamps lights reflected in the puddles.
The downpour had settled into a light drizzle, that had kept Lena company on the ride, a slightly muted but gentle pitter patter on the roof of the car.
Lena tilted her head slightly so she could see the windows to Kara’s apartment, eyes zeroed in without any hesitation on the orange glow against the dark slate of the apartment building.
Kara was waiting for her; she had probably heard the car arrive and Lena felt the weight of the long draining day getting a little easier to bear.
Frank came around and opened the car door for her, and the sharp sound of an umbrella being opened shocked her into tearing her eyes away from the windows to Kara’s apartment.
Frank gave her a small smile and a gently muttered apology as he held the umbrella up over the car door, made sure to shield her from the rain as he escorted her to the entrance to the apartment building. He shook the rain off the umbrella, collapsed it and handed it over to Lena.
“Wait, Frank! What about you?” Lena questioned, as she tried to give him the umbrella back. He gave her a shake of his head; the bill of his driver’s cap cast a small shadow over his eyes.
“I’ll be fine, Miss Luthor. Please give Miss Danvers my regards.” His tone was warm, and he gave her a sharp nod before he hastily ran off to the car, immediately getting his suit drenched in the downpour that had picked up again.
Lena shook her head and made a mental note to give him a couple of extra days off, he worked too hard.
She made her way up the stairs to Kara’s apartment, a little slower than usual. Her feet hurt after a long day in heels and she couldn’t wait to take them off.
Before she knew it, she was standing in front of Kara’s door and rapped on the door with her knuckles a quick sharp knock knock foregoing the doorbell.
Her hand had barely left the surface of the door at her last knock when Kara opened the door.
“Lena!” Kara breathed out more air then words, eyes swept over her, greedily soaking up her presence.
All of a sudden Lena felt like a woman who had been lost in a desert for days and Kara was her oasis, she took a couple of steps forward and tugged Kara into a hug, burrowed her face into crook of Kara’s neck and inhaled deeply.
“Oh, rough day?” Kara asked light with laughter as she ambled them backwards so she could close the door, not breaking the embrace as she shuffled them around.
Lena let out a low groan and sagged further into the embrace, let Kara carry even more of her weight.
“I got you.” Kara chuckled at Lena’s antics and kissed the top of her head and ran her hands up and down Lena’s back under her jacket, a firm but soothing pressure.
As Kara delicately ambled them towards the couch, she murmured against the top of Lena’s head “I just got home, half an hour ago, so I didn’t have time to cook. Hope Italian is okay with you?”
Lena hummed softly, the only action she could muster up any energy for, which tickled Kara’s neck and she flinched with laughter at the sensation, more of a burr against her skin than a noise.
“Woah, tha- That tickled.” Kara scrunched up her nose and tried to suppress her laughter and she shook slightly with the effort; Lena’s head jostled with the motion but she nuzzled deeper into the crook of Kara’s neck.
Lena offered a small apologetic kiss against Kara’s neck and murmured a soft sorry but she didn’t move from their embrace.
“Come on, let’s get you out of that jacket and those shoes. I got some comfy clothes ready for you.”
Lena didn’t budge, lost in Kara’s scent and her strong arms.
“Lena.” Kara said a little firmer but still with care and Lena huffed out a whiny breath, hot against Kara’s throat, her lips lightly brushed against her skin again and Kara took a sharp breath which immediately made Lena’s ears prick up. Lena felt Kara’s pulse speed up a little under her lips and she reluctantly drew back.
“I’m sorry, darling. I’ll behave.” Lena, true to her word, behaved.
Kara took her jacket and Lena finally kicked off those awful heels and Kara ushered her into the bedroom so she could change into something more comfortable while she handled ordering the food.
Kara had just closed the front door, her arms now dangerously laden with food containers, some balancing precariously on top of others when Lena padded back into the living room, face bare and freshly washed with her hair down and she had curled her hands into the long sleeves of the shirt. Kara had specifically bought her that shirt a while ago, when they had started their movie nights, just the two of them.
Lena rushed to Kara’s rescue and grabbed some of the containers before they toppled over and they got everything into the kitchen without any mishaps.
Seated at the table, Kara looked around with a pout, like something was missing.
“Did they forget something on your order, darling?” Lena asked and rested her hand on top of Kara’s. She waited patiently for Kara’s response and traced her thumb in small circles against the back of Kara’s hand.
Kara looked uncharacteristically shy for a moment before she rolled her eyes at herself.
“No, I forgot something.” And she slowly leaned forward, telegraphed her movements to Lena, as she leaned in to give her a kiss.
It was a quick kiss, but it left Lena utterly charmed.
“Forgot to kiss you hello.” And with that out of the way Kara happily dug into the food whilst Lena grappled with the surge of love that flashed brightly in her chest. She eventually started eating after the second questioning look from Kara.
They ended the evening snuggled up on the couch while a movie played in background, offering nothing more than white noise to Lena. If you had tried to force Lena at gunpoint to tell you the title of the movie or summarize what it was about, it would have been for naught. She had not been able to pay any attention, Kara’s warmth had lulled her into a drowsy state, half on the cusp of sleep.
After the second time when Lena’s head had dipped sleepily, Kara had gently tugged her to lie down on the couch with her, and now Lena was laying half on top of Kara, ear rested near Kara’s heart and she listened to the steady ba-thump as she moved with the steady rise and fall of Kara’s breathing.
This was the safest Lena had felt in a long time. She didn’t run from it, instead she embraced the feeling, and she hoped, hoped with every fiber of her being that she could offer Kara the same feeling of safety and love.
She would spend the rest of her days making sure Kara would want for nothing, it would be her greatest honor.
Lena moved up slightly and pressed a kiss to the underside of Kara’s jaw, a non-verbal I love you just because she could, a pleased kind of warmth ran through her body at Kara’s small hum at the kiss. Kara’s arms tightened around her for a moment before she released her hold so she could cup Lena’s face and tilt it so she could give her a kiss.
They traded slow languid kisses without a worry in the world, right now the only thing that existed was the two of them intertwined on the couch.
Lena tried really really hard to surpress the yawn that pressed against her jaw but eventually she had to let it go, she tried to hide it by pressing her face against Kara shoulder but was unsuccessful when she heard Kara chuckling.
“Alright, sleepyhead. Time for bed.”
“What about the movie?” Lena tried to ask but it came out as “whabou th mov-“ sleep slurred and exhausted. Kara let out a soft laugh and Lena groaned slightly as Kara’s laughter almost jostled her from her cozy perch atop Kara.
“If you can tell me the name of the movie, we can stay on the couch.” Kara said good-naturedly, fully aware that Lena had not been paying attention to the tv for a while now, the hand kara had resting on the small of Lena’s back scratched gently against the t-shirt.
Lena tried to sneak a glance to the tv for a clue, but Kara quickly but gently grabbed hold of her chin.
“Ah-ah, no cheating.” Kara spoke low and soft, an adoring look in her eye when Lena looked her in the eye. Lena spent a moment just looking at Kara, as the ever-changing colors of the tv illuminated her in different ways, one more stunning than the next.
“You’re really pretty.” Lena murmured breathless and lovestruck and Kara’s smile inched bigger and her eyes crinkled at the edges, there was a hint of shyness in her eyes, like she wanted to look away but she didn’t break eye contact.
“Be that as it may, you still didn’t tell me the name of the movie, so it’s bedtime. You can’t trick me with flattery.” Kara whispered softly, voice warm like honey and spellbound by Lena’s attention.
Lena’s head thumped down on Kara’s sternum and she mumbled into the shirt, voice muffled.
“Huh?”
“I’m too tired, can you carry me?” Was mumbled with a distinct sleepy whine.
Lena’s question was answered when Kara easily maneuvered her so she could sit up and when Kara was sure she had a good grip on Lena, a hand cradled under her thighs and one supporting her back, she effortlessly stood up and Lena felt her stomach swoop for a second.
“I got you.” Kara murmured into the crown of her head and Lena sighed happily, a girl could get used to this treatment.
The walk to the bedroom was short, which was good as sleep was pulling at the edges of Lena’s mind, her eyes kept fluttering shut. Kara kneeled with one knee on the bed and gently deposited Lena on it, hands soft and gentle as she released her hold and tucked her in.
Lena hummed low and sleepy, her hands traced up to cradle Kara’s face as she loomed over her, blue eyes soft and attentive in the low light, her blonde hair like a curtain around them in the dark bedroom. Lena caressed the edges of Kara’s smile with her thumbs and coaxed a bigger smile out of Kara.
She urged Kara down with a tentative tug, and Kara moved without hesitation as Lena leaned up to meet her halfway for a kiss.
Kara tried to keep it light but Lena changed the angle slightly and tentatively scraped her teeth across Kara’s bottom lip, and Kara let out a small whine at the spark of want and reflexively pressed closer. Her lips parted enough that Lena seized the opportunity lick into her mouth and traced her tongue across one of the sharp edges on one of Kara’s cuspids and Kara groaned at the attention, forced to shift her weight so she could rest on her forearm instead of leaning on her hand, as she crowded closer to Lena.
Lena tugged insistently on her shirt but Kara pulled back with harsh pants that fanned across Lena’s face. Kara’s lips had a sheen to them that was noticeable in the low light, spit-slicked as they were now, and her pupils had been blown wide and hunger burned in the thin ring of blue still visible. All this made Lena whine petulantly as she tried to pull her closer.
Lena was wet, she could feel the slickness between her thighs and fought the urge to press her thighs together for relief, it was ridiculous how turned on she was from just a little making out. She wanted Kara so bad and she had waited for so long.
“Wait, aren’t you tired? We can wait-“ Kara asked, slightly worried, eyebrows furrowed with breathless concern.
“We can just make out for a little bit-“Lena tried to bargain -her voice was low and desperate- as she tried to urge Kara back into a kiss with a pout.
She would have sold L-corp for a 15-minute heavy petting session at this point.
Kara didn’t budge but her smile turned sharp and confident, bordering on cocky at Lena’s desperate pulls on her shirt. Kara haughtily tilted her head as she took stock of Lena -an action that made Lena squirm – Kara’s eyes swept up and down with a slow, appreciative drag that Lena could practically feel.
The confident look disappeared when Kara looked at the clock and instead a wince replaced it before she blew out a frustrated breath and gave Lena an apologetic look.
“As much as I want this, and trust me, I really want this.” Kara punctuated this with a deep kiss, one of her hands slid into Lena’s hair and gently pulled so she could angle Lena’s face the way she wanted for the kiss, Lena followed easily, like pliable clay in Kara’s warm hands. When they broke apart, Lena chased after her for a second, strained against the hand in her hair with a low moan.
“I know you have an early day tomorrow, Lena, so we should probably call it a night.” Kara looked like she hated every word she said, but she was trying to be responsible.
Lena swallowed a couple of times, her throat bone dry as she struggled to find her voice. She could feel herself throbbing, her fingers trembled with want and and it was hard to think clearly when all she could focus on was the hand in her hair and the warmth of Kara.
“Um-“ Lena wet her lips, and Kara’s eyes were stuck on the motion, on the way Lena’s tongue flicked out with the tip and ran across her lips, and Kara swayed forward like she couldn’t help herself.
If Kara was worried about her schedule, that was an issue Lena could easily remedy.
“Where’s my phone?”
Kara frowned at the question but after a quick look around in the bedroom with no luck, it must have been left in the living room when they were watching a movie.
Kara tumbled out of the bed and disappeared into the dark apartment to retrieve the phone from the living room and she returned quickly, triumphantly with the phone in one hand.
“Got it.” She waved the phone a little bit before she handed it over to Lena.
The screen illuminated Lena’s face in a soft white light as she quickly typed out a message while Kara sat on the edge of the bed, one leg curled underneath her as she waited for whatever it was Lena was doing.
“Aaand done! I cleared my schedule for tomorrow.” Lena tossed her phone somewhere and it hit something hard, something that definitely broke, but neither woman reacted to the noise, both too absorbed with each other to notice.
Kara looked at her for one long disbelieving moment, both eyebrows firmly raised in surprise before she cautiously asked “Really?” like she couldn’t believe her luck.
Mis-reading Kara’s reaction Lena immediately started nervously rambling “Yeah, but I mean, we don’t have to do anything, if you don’t want too. Maybe that was too hasty, I’m sorry, Kara-” Lena’s voice petered out and she went blissfully quiet when Kara slowly crawled over to her, the mattress dipped under her weight, her movements slow and sleek and her eyes never left Lena.
One of Kara’s knees pressed against the side of Lena’s hip, a shock of warmth against Lena that was equal parts enticing as it was comforting, before Kara swung the other leg over and straddled her.
Lena felt the warm press of Kara’s thighs bracketing her hips but Kara didn’t rest her full weight on her, instead Kara hovered slightly. Lena couldn’t help the small noise that escaped from high in her throat or the slightly desperate cant of her hips at the small distance between their bodies.
Kara placed a hand near Lena’s face and leaned down, and Lena instinctively angled her head so she could brush her temple against Kara’s wrist, as Kara gazed down at her with half-lidden eyes that held nothing but teasing promises.
“What’s the matter, baby?” Kara murmured all silky soft and sweet, as she nosed against Lena’s jaw, her breath hot against her skin. Lena subconsciously tilted her head to allow Kara better access and she was rewarded with a small appreciative noise and a light scrape of teeth that was quickly followed by mouthy kisses on her neck.
Lena parted her lips to say something but it was almost like Kara had been waiting for that, and the moment she tried to speak, when Kara felt the muscles in Lena’s throat start to move under her lips, she sucked a lurid bruise into the base of Lena’s neck.
Lena’s reaction was loud and immediate- a keening needy moan erupted as she arched hard into Kara’s mouth, into her teeth.
Kara responded by eagerly sucking another bruise into her skin higher up, intent on making a constellation of vivid marks on Lena’s skin, like an astronomer painting the night sky with their desire.
Lena’s hands, that had been rendered unmoving by sheer want, were finally spurred into action and she reached up with an urgency that was fueled by a powerful hunger, as she settled her hands against Kara’s hips, wrapped her fingers around the curves of her hips and pressed her thumbs into Kara’s hipbones as she urged Kara to settle against her.
Kara made a small noise, a tsk of disapproval against her throat. Her lips grazed against Lena’s skin when she spoke.
“You gotta use your words, baby.”
Lena had never heard Kara’s voice like this, low, raspy and tantalizing – she had fantasized about what Kara would sound like in the throes of passion, and now she could confidently say that her imagination paled in comparison to the real thing- Lena was going to cum before Kara had even truly touched her if she kept talking to her like this.
Which would be embarrassing for Lena, so with a fortifying breath she dug deep into her reserves and tried to rein herself in which was proving quite a challenge thanks to Kara’s eager mouth.
She had almost got herself under control when Kara leaned back and, with no hesitation, removed her own shirt and carelessly tossed it somewhere. Lena barely had time to appreciate the ripple of muscles, her eyes didn’t know where to look but she did see a quick flash of the soft sway of Kara’s breasts, before Kara leaned back down again and kissed her, all messy and passionate.
The soft drag of Kara’s breasts against her clothed chest made quick work of any control Lena had managed to gain over her raging libido and she melted under Kara’s attention. She traced her hands up Kara’s back, desperate to feel the muscles shifting under her palms, and with great effort - and a tad of regret ‘cause Kara was a great kisser- she had to wrench her mouth away from the kiss to harshly pant out. “I need my shirt off.”
She needed to feel skin against skin.
Kara finally, finally sat back and Lena could have wept at the solid pressure against her hips, but she had more pressing matters at hand, and quickly sat up to remove her shirt.
They fumbled a little as their hands bumped into each other in their rush to get Lena’s shirt off, and there was a couple of sorry’s and laughter exchanged which cut through the heat for a moment, and Kara slowed down the frantic edge for long enough to give Lena a soft reassuring kiss, to wordlessly let her know this was more than just sex, that this meant something to her, before she grasped the bottom of the shirt and pulled it off Lena.
With Lena’s shirt removed, Kara stared at her breasts with barely concealed hunger in her wide yes and Lena couldn’t stop a low scoff of amused laughter from escaping.
Kara had never been subtle when it came to how her eyes lingered on Lena’s chest – something Lena had indulged in numerous times with frankly ridiculously low cut necklines, just to see Kara hold an entire conversation with her eyes firmly on Lena’s cleavage, not even aware she was doing it- and Kara raised her eyes to give her a questioning look.
“Nothing, nothing.” Lena said casually, playfully, as she laid back down and stretched languidly under Kara’s heavy stare, her eyes kept flickering low before bouncing back up to Lena’s eyes. Lena interlaced her hands behind her head and arched her back a bit and Kara let out a low noise as she dipped down to leave soft worshipping kisses across Lena’s collarbones before she slowly made her way down to Lena’s breasts.
With Kara’s attention pre-occupied it was Lena’s turn to embark on some exploring and she ran a light touch up the outer side of Kara’s thigh, the muscle tensed and jumped under her fingertips before she dragged her hands across the curve of Kara’s ass and eventually she returned to Kara’s hips again, intent on urging her into a slow grind against Lena.
There was a sharp nip as teeth marked the side of Lena’s breast and Lena bit back a surprised noise, half-choked in the back of her mouth and arched into the touch, a hand cupped her other breast and a thumb grazed across her nipple with confident swipes.
“Fuck, Kara.” She whined low and desperately; Kara hummed a low knowing sound in response.
There was a barrage of sensations; a warm mouth enveloped her nipple and sucked, a tongue lashed across it and one of Lena’s hands shot up to tangle into Kara’s hair and pressed her closer with a wanton urgency and Kara groaned appreciatively at the rougher treatment. She did not have to be told twice and licked across the tip of Lena’s nipple before pulling it back into her mouth again with a rumbling groan.
Kara shifted slightly and moved one leg in between Lena’s and in response to the pressure Lena raked a hand across Kara’s back as she started a slow grind.
In the back of her mind, Kara did mourn the fact Lena couldn’t leave any marks on her, she wanted to see the scratches and bruises on her own skin for days to come, wanted to press fingers into the hickeys and have a physical reminder of what they had done to each other.
Maybe that could be possible someday, maybe Lena could figure something out.
Kara switched her attention to the other breast and Lena’s hand tightened almost painfully in her hair. The bedroom was filled with harsh breaths, low moans and the ruffle of sheets as they moved languidly against each other, not in a hurry as the arousal slowly amped up to unbearably levels, the room was saturated with sex at this point.
A particular insistent grind had Lena throw her head back and she let out a truly filthy moan that made Kara press harder against her with a sharp exhale in response, a give-and-take, a closed loop circuit of stimulation that kept going. Every response was rewarded with another intoxicating response.
Lena could feel her underwear clinging to her, and she felt the way arousal pooled in the cradle of her hips at every insistent grind, every swipe of a tongue against her breasts, every rough and needy touch. The weight of Kara between her hips- steady and arousing as it was, wasn’t enough- she needed more.
“I need-“ She managed to gasp out brokenly, as Kara left another mark on her skin. “I need these pants off.”
She was five seconds away from begging. Kara carefully held Lena’s nipple between her teeth and pulled just a bit as she rolled her hips into Lena’s. Make it two seconds.
Kara rushed back up to press a kiss against Lena’s mouth but missed by millimeters and caught the edge of her mouth instead in her eagerness, she pulled back and let out a small, embarrassed laugh. Lena, as much as she loved cute, adorable Kara, had no patience left and grabbed one of Kara’s hands and pushed it under the waistband of her sweats, Kara’s laugh was punched out of her with a slight wheeze when her fingertips met wetness.
Kara pressed her forehead against Lena’s temple, a tremble in her breath, awe in her voice when she groaned out a low “Rao, you’re so wet for me.” Coupled with a tentative swipe through Lena’s slickness with two fingers, exploring with a light touch.
Lena’s hips chased after the touch as Kara skimmed across her folds, teasingly light contrary to what Lena desperately needed right now, what her body was wordlessly begging for.
The waistband of Lena’s sweatpants dug into Kara’s wrist but she barely noticed, rapt focus on the way Lena would whine just so when she ran her fingers through her slick pussy, the way Lena’s hips chased after her when she swiped a circular teasing motion over the hood of Lena’s clit. Kara was hungrily cataloguing each and every response like she was studying for an important exam.
Lena wrapped her hand in a tight grip around Kara’s forearm, she felt the muscles bunching and rippling under her touch and let out a keening almost distraught noise, high and tight in the back of her mouth, as Kara kept her pace slow.
With great effort Lena pulled herself together long enough to lift her hips and tug down the waistband of her pants, Kara quickly caught on and moved down to help, warm hands ran over Lena’s hips with an appreciating drag, caressed down her thighs, an errant kiss here or there down her calves and scattered down her shins until Lena was finally fully naked.
Lena counted her blessings that she wasn’t shy because the look Kara was giving her as she stood at the end of the bed, half-naked with barely restrained intensity and an insatiable brazen look, could have made her feel a little bashful. Instead, she leaned into the greedy attention and preened under it, arched her back slightly, coyly ran a hand up one of her thighs and sighed wantonly when she dipped two fingers into her wetness, the slick noise was loud but nowhere near as loud as the whine Kara let out.
Kara’s eyes followed her hand like a snake would a snake charmer, she swayed in place for a moment, hands clenched for a second, her eyes fluttered when Lena let out a low moan.
“Darling-“ Lena beckoned, her voice low and raspy, filthy promises dripped from just the one word and Kara inhaled sharply and stuttered into motion, she quickly got rid of her own pants and underwear and clambered gracelessly back into bed.
Lena welcomed her back eagerly and rose up to meet her in an uncoordinated kiss, their legs tangled together and Lena felt warm wet heat on her thigh and let out a low noise of delighted surprise. She slid a hand down and palmed at Kara’s ass as she tensed her thigh to give Kara something more solid to grind on.
Kara wrenched away from their kiss with a needy whine and a stutter in her breaths, like she had run a marathon after a solar flare.
“Fu-“ The curse word sharply cut from Kara’s mouth, still too lucid to really let it fly. She rested her forehead against Lena’s shoulder and tried to get herself under control.
“You keep doing that, you’re going to make me cum.” Kara warned even though she didn’t stop the persistent grind on Lena’s thigh.
This was the only thing Lena wanted to do now, to get Kara to cum all over her thigh, she wanted it more than anything else. Nothing else mattered to her.
“I want that.” Lena exhaled, eyes half-lidded and eager, lips kiss-bitten and plumb. “Please.” She practically begged and Kara shuddered, and ground down on Lena’s thigh in response to her plea.
“Okay, yeah, yeah.” Kara eagerly murmured, voice soft and half-gone already as she started to chase her orgasm in earnest against Lena’s thigh.
Lena laid back down and Kara rested a hand right by Lena’s head for balance, her eyes pinched shut in concentration as her hips started a languid pace, Kara’s abdominals twitched and jumped and Lena swallowed harshly, she might not be able to come from this alone but what a sight.
A slight smear of slick on her hip made Lena realize that the hand Kara was resting against her hip was the same one Kara had been using to explore her with and half-way without thinking Lena reached for Kara’s hand and tugged it up to her mouth.
Kara’s pace faltered slightly as she looked with confused curiosity that burst into unrestrained lust when Lena took two of Kara’s fingers into her mouth and sucked avidly on them, tongue danced between the fingers with delicate flicks, teeth scraped across her knuckles.
Kara fell forward with a whine, resting most of her weight on her forearm and nuzzled into the crook of Lena’s neck with harsh pants, her rhythm borderline erratic and sloppy as Lena cleaned the taste of her own wetness off Kara’s fingers.
Lena let out a muffled groan when Kara pressed her fingers in more insistently, almost thrusting them in and out as she started babbling, pleading, fully lost in her pleasure.
“Lena, Fuck-I-.” A whimper, a broken moan. “I-I’m close.”
Lena’s pussy was throbbing; she was so unbearably turned on it was almost impossible to form a coherent thought. Kara’s thigh would graze against her, teasingly so, and each brush was another wave goodbye to her braincells, every moan that rumbled against her throat made her clench around nothing, the sloppy kisses Kara would brush against her shoulder felt like they had a direct connection to her clit.
Kara removed her fingers from Lena’s mouth and left a wet trail behind as she wrapped her arm around Lena, a confident hand pushed firm against her lower back, urged Lena to arch up into her body.
The tension became almost suffocating but it only took another handful of careless grinds against her thigh and Kara fell apart with a shudder, a moan halfway muffled into Lena’s shoulder as she rutted against Lena through her orgasm.
She ran soothing hands across Kara’s back as she slumped against her, placed small kisses on whatever part of Kara she could get near, her temple, cheek bone, shoulder, she was bursting with love and it had to have an outlet.
She murmured soft nothings and sweet praises to Kara, a susurrus of love that flowed across Kara as she slowly regained her bearings.
“Uhm… wow.” Kara finally said, a blush painted her cheeks red as she looked up at Lena, a bashful expression softened by an awed smile, half hidden as Kara burrowed into Lena’s shoulder.
Lena could still feel the entirety of the smile against her skin and she hummed gently, soothingly, even though every inch of her felt like liquid fire, she could wait.
Kara mumbled something against her shoulder that she couldn’t decipher, she shifted slightly, head angled so she could look at Kara who peered up at her, hesitantly before repeating what she had said.
“I love you.” Though Kara’s demeanor was a little unsure, her eyes didn’t waver when she said it.
Lena blinked once, twice, as the words had to hit the back of her brain like a pinball rattling around in a pinball machine before she could fully process them. Her arms tightened around Kara; her hands brushed across the dimples on Kara’s lower back. Thumbs settled in the divots for a moment, appreciatingly, before she ran her hands up to Kara’s shoulder blades and pressed her close, skin sticky with sweat.
“I love you too. I have for a long time.” Lena admitted- proclaimed - with a steady heart and a fond smile curling in the corner of her lips. Beyond happy that she could finally say what she had been thinking for a long while now, what had been etched into the fibers of her heart, engraved in her bones.
Kara lurched up to kiss her, an action that was made harder by the fact that they were both smiling, so it was mostly a bumping of teeth and giddy apologies.
When their smiles quieted and they could kiss properly, the mood changed with a swiftness, a sharp inhale from Lena as her body reminded her, she was still incredibly high-strung and a soft touch away from coming undone.
“Can I taste you? It’s all I’ve been thinking about.” Kara murmured between frantic kisses, like she couldn’t stop kissing Lena if she wanted to, constantly drawn back in like a moth to a flame.
“Ye-yeah, yes, please.” Lena’s mind spiraling at feeling Kara’s tongue on her, in her.
Kara started a slow trek downwards; she spent a significant amount of time on Lena’s breasts and at this point Lena was almost certain she could come from that attention alone. When Kara finally went lower, she tracked lingering kisses across Lena’s stomach untul she hit a particularly sensitive spot that made Lena flinch away with a giggle.
“Ticklish?” Kara questioned, her voice warm with humor as Lena settled back again. Lena ran a hand through Kara’s hair, the touch light as Lena brushed a loving thumb across her temple when Kara rested her head against her hip.
“A little.” Lena admitted with a soft look before she bit her lip, a slightly embarrassed expression flitted across her face as she continued talking.
“I-I’m like so ridiculously turned on right now-“ She started and Kara traced the tip of her nose across her hipbone in a tender caress and hummed a small affirmative noise before she leaned down and kissed the hip bone.
“I might-“ a small cant of her hips as Kara sucked a small bruise into her skin, her voice went tight and high, the hand in Kara’s hair tightened involuntarily and tugged Kara closer.
“-Not last long.” Tumbled out in a broken whine as Kara ran her hand down her inner thigh, a brush of her knuckles against warm heat, a barely there graze that had Lena arch into it with hot desperation.
“Oh?” Kara said in an almost conversational tone, like they were talking about something mundane, like she wasn’t teasingly brushing against her, a ghost of a touch. A haunting of desire.
Lena tugged at Kara’s hair again, tried to direct her to where she was needed most, Kara went willing with an appreciative hum before she settled in between Lena’s thighs, her shoulders nudged against Lena’s inner thighs and Lena spread her legs wider.
Kara ran a hand underneath one of Lena’s thighs and lifted her leg up to rest on her shoulder as she leaned in and licked a long stripe into Lena’s pussy, spread it with a hot tongue and a low moan as wetness coated her tongue.
Lena immediately skyrocketed to the stratosphere, her control tenuous – slipped from her fingertips- as Kara pressed deeper, switched between soft long swipes and hard lashes across her clit with her tongue. Lena’s hips jerked backwards before they chased after Kara’s mouth, like she couldn’t decide if it was too much or not enough.
Lena tilted her head back, pressed it hard into the pillow, as Kara ate her out like it was her only mission in life, her breath sat high and tight in her throat, filthy moans spilled from her lips in never-ending streams.
When Kara wrapped her lips around her clit and applied a small amount of suction, that was the final straw and Lena waved goodbye to her sanity as her orgasm ripped through her hard and fast, an earthquake that rippled through her body.
Lena’s thighs snapped tightly against Kara’s head but she wasn’t bothered, too focused on feeling Lena’s clit pulsing and twitching under the pressure of her tongue.
She laid one hand flat against Lena’s twitching stomach and pressed down, and kept her tongue light, gentle as she licked Lena through her orgasm with a fervent hum. The hand in her hair lax- except for the occasional twitch- gave no indicator that she should stop paying attention to the small, throbbing bundle of nerves.
When the thighs slipped from her shoulders Kara looked up, her mouth still busy with slow languid licks, head bobbed between Lena’s legs as she kept lavishing Lena with attention. Lena had an arm slung over her face and a sheen of sweat coated her skin, her breasts moved with her heavy breaths and Kara groaned, she looked beautiful.
A slow tentative roll of Lena’s hips and Kara eagerly responded by applying more pressure, drinking in her wetness with low moans, drunk on it.
A hand in her hair tugged, coaxed her to relinquish her attention but it was Lena’s voice that broke her concentration.
“Kara, fu-fuck” Her voice, low and rough, rumbled in her chest and sounded like it had been dipped in sticky sweat honey as she begged Kara “Please, I need to see you.” And errant hand tugged pleadingly at Kara’s shoulder, in a plea to urge her up.
Kara went where she was summoned, but she did make a quick stop to rub her face against Lena’s soft breasts with an appreciative noise, their suppleness hard to resist for Kara now that she could finally touch them. She probably could have spent the rest of the night lavishing attention on Lena’s breasts but another impatient tug at her hair reminded her that she also wanted to kiss Lena.
They met in a messy uncoordinated kiss, Kara was intoxicated beyond belief by Lena and she wanted to feast on her, wanted to get closer and then closer. It wasn’t enough, she wanted to exist in Lena’s bones, in her marrow. It was a complete surrender to the blinding power of want and love, Kara could barely think.
“Please tell me you can take one more.” Kara asked, voice low and bordering on pleading, as her hand already made slow easy passes though Lena’s wet folds, fingertips teased at her entrance before dragging back up to her clit with restrained eagerness, ready to retreat if it was too much.
A small exhale of laughter, a rasp of a noise from Lena before she cradled Kara’s jaw and murmured teasingly. “Only if I can be on top this time.” And nipped at Kara’s bottom lip, a thoroughly pleased smile that turned inordinately smug when Kara started stammering.
“Oh yeah, yup. Totally, any time! Uh-huh, yeah.” Kara bobbed her head, eyes wide in excitement at this amazing turn of events.
Lena looked at her expectantly and when Kara didn’t move, she quirked an unamused eyebrow and glanced down at their position and Kara’s eyes widened in realization and she gave Lena a cute bashful smile.
“Right, yeah, I gotta move, huh?” Kara’s voice slightly wry but her smile so enamored it could be seen from the moon.
Lena couldn’t stop herself from running a thumb across Kara’s cheekbone in response to her smile, her eyes grew tender with adoration and now that they had finally acknowledged it, put words to the feeling, it was almost impossible for her to stop staying it.
“I love you.”
Lena had always thought it would feel like jumping off a cliff, like a sickening swoop in her stomach when she declared her love but it was nowhere near like that. It was returning to a warm home on a cold day, the prickle of heat in your skin, the certainty in your heart that you belonged in this place. There was nothing scary here, there was no trust fall, no leaps of faith, just the surety that love was here and it was real and it asked for nothing but gave you everything.
Kara blinked once, like she still couldn’t believe it before she beamed as she excitedly, earnestly leaned up to kiss Lena, something made almost impossible by the big smile on her face.
“I love you too. So much.” She sighed against Lena’s lips.
Lena nuzzled into Kara’s neck and gave her a tight squeeze as Kara started peppering her with kisses everywhere she could reach until Lena started giggling and squirming away from under her.
“Nuh-uh, I love you so I gotta give you as many kisses as possible.” Kara said faux somberly, like it was a serious undertaking that shouldn’t be taken lightly, as she tried to suppress a goofy grin.
“Sure, but what about the other thing?”
“What other thing-oh!” Kara croaked out as Lena delicately grabbed her wrist and directed Kara’s hand lower until she was touching herself with Kara’s hand, a reminder of how wet she still was.
Lena looked exceedingly proud of herself at Kara’s reaction and raised one of her legs so her knee was bracketed against Kara’s side and tugged her impossibly close, arched up into Kara with a smug smirk.
“I wanted to be on top but I –“ a sharp gasp, a cant of Lena’s hips as Kara’s fingers grew more insistent, she fought to keep her eyes open when Kara’s thumb brushed against her clit “- I don’t mind this, at all.”
Kara teased her entrance with two fingers, barely dipped inside before she pulled away much to Lena’s vocal dismay, a whine of disappointment.
“Far be it for me to disappoint the woman that I love.” Kara teasingly said, as if she wasn’t barely holding on by sheer grit alone. One desperate grind away, one pretty moan away from fucking into Lena with all she had until she was fully spent. Kara wanted to be able to feel this night for days to come.
Kara expertly rolled them with a quick twist of her hips and suddenly Lena found herself straddled atop Kara who was holding her steady by her hips with a firm but not bruising grip.
Lena let out a breathless laugh and swept her hair over one of her shoulders and took a moment to enjoy the view, one of her hands balanced on Kara’s sternum.
“Fancy move.” Lena murmured low and appreciative as her eyes stuck on the rippling of muscles in Kara’s abdomen, muscles tensed and flexed as Kara held herself back, a small twitch of her hips a small betrayal, as she tried to patiently wait for Lena.
“You ain’t seen nothing yet.” Kara tried to brag but missed the mark thanks to the small desperate noise that she couldn’t hold back when Lena moved slightly and she felt wetness coat her skin. Lena felt Kara tighten her grip on her hips for a moment, Kara’s thumbs dug into her skin and Lena’s breath stuttered in her chest when she felt the needy pull of Kara’s hands, the unsteady jog of her hips.
“Needy, aren’t you.” The smile on Lena’s face was all faux-sympathy and understanding as she grabbed Kara’s hands and guided them up to her breasts, she gave Kara’s hands a squeeze – a silent command to stay there on her breasts- Kara whined low in response and rubbed her thumbs across Lena’s nipples with light touches that quickly turned heavy and unrelenting, occasionally adding a roll or pinch with her index fingers.
Lena let out a low hiss of air and there was a sharp jerk of her hips against Kara’s abs before she tilted her head back and adjusted the pace into a slow roll of her hips. Not enough stimulation for her to get off, but enough to work herself up and if it gave Kara something to watch, well it would just be two birds, one stone.
Lena angled backwards a bit and arched her back, one arm settled behind her on Kara’s thigh as she did some slow, showy rolls of her hips that had her biting her lip with a whimper at the slick wet noises.
The hands on her breasts had stilled, Kara’s attention fully devoted to the show Lena was putting on, Kara caught a glimpse of slick puffy pink lips on a backward grind and she couldn’t tear her eyes away and let out a choked groan.
It would have been funny to Lena if it wasn’t because she was so turned on and she needed more stimulation, more of Kara.
“Kara.” Lena begged, her voice breathless and soaked in desire, unsure of what she needed but knowing that Kara would be able to provide it.
Kara heeded the call and shuffled a little so she could sit up with Lena in her lap, she wrapped her arms around Lena and pressed both her hands flat against Lena’s lower back, urged her to grind harder against her.
“I got you, baby. I got you. What do you need?” Kara whispered urgently against her neck as she sucked more bruises into the skin, voice slurred with want.
“Fuck – I need-“ A moan stole Lena’s voice at a particular demanding thrust from Kara, she slumped slightly inwards, one arm carelessly thrown over Kara’s shoulder as a bid to steady herself, eyes squeezed shut at the onslaught of sensations. Her breathing irregular and harsh at this point, sweat coated both their bodies.
“Inside, I need you inside.” Lena managed to stutter out in a sharp spark of clarity before want throbbed through her body again and she moaned out loud, having settled into a sloppy grind in Kara’s lap.
Kara didn’t hesitate and swiftly maneuvered her hand between them and slid two fingers through Lena’s wetness, she circled Lena’s entrance for a second before slowly pushing them inside. Lena was so wet they easily slid in and Kara let out a low appreciative groan when she sank fully into Lena and felt her fluttering around her fingers.
“You feel so good. You’re so wet for me.”
Kara quickly set a fast pace and added a swiping press of her thumb against Lena’s clit every time she pressed in.
“You’re taking me so well, baby.” Kara mumbled filthy praises into Lena’s skin. “You’re so wet for me. Can you hear it? Fuck, baby, you’re so good for me.” Kara felt the muscles in Lena’s thighs shake and twitch and she increased her pace, starving to feel Lena cum around her fingers.
Lena had been reduced to a moaning, whimpering mess, most of her weight held up by Kara now as she fucked into her with a steady inexorable pace that had Lena rapidly climbing to her orgasm.
Kara could tell Lena was close by the way she started clenching around Kara’s fingers combined with an almost frenzied edge to her whine now. Lena’s begging was practically incoherent babbling at this point, voice high and needy, eyes unfocused.
Kara – who had been so focused on Lena- was hit by her own orgasm out of nowhere and groaned into Lena’s skin when she felt it race through her body, her body taut for a second before pleasure soaked through her muscles, her pace unsteady as she tried to keep pumping into Lena through her own orgasm.
It was enough for Lena to follow quickly after her, the combo of Kara moaning her release into her neck as she kept fucking into her with jerky moves was the final straw and Lena’s spine snapped ramrod straight, the tendons in her neck taut as she let out a warble of moans as she pushed harder against Kara’s fingers with a frenzied desperation, like she needed Kara as deep as possible as she fluttered around her fingers.
As they both wound down, entangled in each other, their breathing slowly evened out into something closer to normal, Kara was the first to break the silence.
“Wow.”
Lena let out a snort of laughter at the shell-shocked tone but let out a low groan of pleasure when Kara moved slightly and by extension her fingers shifted in Lena and she clenched around them again, there was a small disbelieving chuckle from Kara at that but she stopped moving around.
When Lena felt like she wasn’t going to pop-off at the slightest stimulation she lifted her head and finally looked Kara in the eye. Kara did still have a slight shell-shocked look in her eyes but there was a delicate lilt to her lips, a besotted look that settled into place when she noticed Lena looking at her, like she couldn’t stop herself from smiling at Lena.
Lena leaned forward and gave Kara a soft kiss on her forehead and brushed some loose hair back behind her ear.
“Hi.”
Kara grinned and tilted her head with a cute scrunch of her nose.
“Hi back.”
Kara softly withdrew, careful not to hurt Lena and they slowly detangled between lingering kisses. Lena plopped down onto the mattress and stretched with a satisfied groan. Kara looked at her with amusement before she leaned over and stole a kiss, just because she could.
“You want anything, thirsty, hungry?”
Lena shook her head and wrapped an arm around Kara’s midriff and tugged her down so they could snuggle together, Kara shuffled around a bit until she caught the edge of the cover and pulled the covers over them.
“I have everything I need right here.” Lena sleepily mumbled into their embrace, already half-asleep.
“Me too.” Kara whispered softly into the dark room, something dangerously hopeful and happy in her voice as she settled in next to Lena.
“Me too.”
