Going slow

Summary:

Kara and Lena take their time to build their new relationship, but patience wasn't Kara's strong suit.

Notes:

hope you like this one! :)
Some Danvers Sisters cutenes, and lots of Lena being a protective girlfriend.

Work Text:

“How are things with Lena?” Alex asked, pouring a glass of white wine for herself and one for her sister, noticing how her face lit up when she mentioned her girlfriend.

“So far so good.” She said with a blinding smile. “Better than good… just perfect… ah, just perfect.” she sighed, allowing herself to daydream of her lunch with Lena that day.

“You two make a beautiful couple. It's unfair how perfect you are together.” She said mockingly.

“She's the perfect one.” Kare said playfully. “We're taking things slow, you know? Just adjusting to this new side of our frie- relationship.” she smiled, loving how that word rolled off her tongue when it came to Lena.

“That's good. Take your time… you two are way ahead of the curve though, with how much you've been through.” She chuckled. 

“Don't even mention it.” She cringed. “We're working on our communication skills, and being more open… I screwed up so much with her in the past that I'm terrified that she'll wake up one day and remember all the times Supergirl doubted her.”

“Well, she's not dating Supergirl.”

“She is, though… that's half of me and I can't just leave that part of myself out the door when I get home.” She said, frowning. “I just… I was awful to her in some moments, even disregarding me not telling her my secret for so long… I used her insecurity against her when I doubted her for her name. I still can’t believe I doubted why she had Kryptonite and acted like a jerk.”

“That's in the past, Kara. You two have already worked through that, forgiven each other and rebuilt your friendship… you rebuilt it so well that you ended up accepting you have feelings for each other, too.” She said with a playful smile. “I wish I had taken that bet with Winn when I could.”

“What bet?”

“Before he left with the Legion for the first time, he bet that you two would end up together.” Alex confessed. “I didn't think it would happen because at the time you hadn't even told her your secret, and it seemed farfetched- even though I have to say that looking back there were plenty of signs.” She smirked.

“Like what?”

“I'm not about to list everything but you two had that chemistry, and that way of understanding each other that made you wonder.”

“Can I confess something? But promise me you won't ever tell anyone, not even Kelly and much less Lena… or James.”

“Promised.” She said with a curious look in her eyes.

“When… when Lena and James started dating, I was so excited for them, you know? But then I just started feeling a bit… uneasy when they'd be together around me and I would just look away when they held hands or kiss- I don't know how to explain it but I hated it when James told me something Lena said while we were at work. I kinda realized that I was jealous because they were together and I had lost Mon-El, but at the same time I just… I was so relieved when they broke up, I think I might’ve smiled when Lena told me.”

“I didn't know you were so jealous.” Alex chuckled.

“Shortly after they broke up, when he kind of started looking for her again to make up, and then with the whole Harun-El thing… I realized then that I was jealous of him because he had her attention and full trust. I really resented him choosing her, because I wanted to be in his shoes.” 

“To be honest I never got their relationship. They just never fit in well- they looked great together,  but they didn't make sense, you know what I mean? He never liked her even after they met, was vocal about his doubts since she's a Luthor, didn't like working with her… and then all of a sudden he was happy to sleep with her.”

“Yeah, I don't know what they were thinking. He told me so many times that Lena shouldn't be trusted and then he's suddenly in love.” She rolled her eyes.

“And he got mad when she saved her ass with the DA for the whole Guardian thing.” 

“Don't remind me.” She rolled her eyes, and then smiled when she heard her phone ring with a notification. 

“That's your Lena face.” Alex smiled, watching how Kara smiled while reading Lena's texts.

“She just got off work and is on her way home but there's traffic.” She told Alex, quickly typing her answer and leaving her phone on the side.

“Don't you want to go save her from the horrible nightmare rush hour means?” she asked knowingly.

“Nope, tonight is a Danvers sister's night.” She smiled widely. 

“You sure?”

“I made it calendar official: every Thursday from now on will be Danvers sisters’ night.” She nodded. “We'll have game night every Friday with everyone else, and then I have date nights with Lena on Saturdays.” She grinned. 

“Did she teach you how to use a calendar after all these years?” She asked playfully. 

“So funny.” She rolled her eyes, laughing and reaching for her wine. 

 

 

 

Two weeks later

 

“How's Esme doing?” Kara asked with a little pout, knowing that her niece was feeling a bit under the weather.

“She's fine. Kelly bought ice cream and that was the best medicine.” She grinned.

“Are you sure you didn't want to stay with them?” Kara asked her, knowing how important family time was for her sister.

“I will be honest and say I wanted to stay but Kelly basically kicked me out of the apartment saying I need my Danvers night.”

“Well, if the boss said you had to go, who are you to contradict her.” She chuckled.

“I think they had something planned. Kelley has been very into each of us having time with her on our own so she can bond with us individually.”

“Sounds like a good idea.”

“It is… I think it shows her that she can trust us as individuals and not just as her parents, and it shows her different interests we have, like… Kelly took her to the museum the other night, and I took her to a hockey game.”

“Since Kelly took her home to the Olsens, maybe we could take her to Midvale and give her a bit of a Danvers experience too.” 

“Oh, that would be awesome! Mom would love it, too! And maybe we could bring Lena too since she's never been there.”

“That… that could be fun.” She smiled, genuinely considering the idea. “When can we go?” 

“I guess we'd have to wait for a school break or just go over a weekend… I could try to convince Kelly to let her skip a day or two of school, too, I guess… but we should check with Lena too.”

“I'll ask her and let you know.” She smiled. “It would be our first vacation together.” She said sheepishly. 

“Well, you could book that cute little cabin in the woods so you two can spend some time alone, too.” 

“No, I want the family together. I want her to live the chaotic experience the morning at the Danvers home is.” She chuckled, referring to their competitions to get to the bathroom first, the chaos of breakfast with countless calories and fun stories, Eliza trying to remain calm through the storm.

“Well she's used to dealing with you, so she won't be that surprised.” She chuckled. “Do you think we could camp in the woods to show Esme the stars? She's been asking about the universe and where she comes from, and all that would be easier with you there.”

“Of course we can go camping! A fire, s'mores, the stars and Eliza’s special hot chocolate.”

“Would Lena be up for it? I can't picture her sleeping in a tent.” She said with a playful smile that made Kara laugh.

“I have no idea, but I've learned to never underestimate her. She grew up rich, but her mother and her lived in the countryside when she was little, so she might be comfortable with the idea.”

“As long as she doesn't bring designer boots to the Midvale woods…” she joked. “I saw her the other day, by the way. I don't know if she told you.”

“She mentioned it.” She nodded. 

“How are you two? Still adjusting?”

“We're great, I think.” She said but Alex noticed some hesitation. 

“Okay, tell me everything.” 

“What do you mean?”

“You’re great you think… last week you said everything was great.” She said raising an eyebrow. “Did something happen?”

“No, gosh, no!” She shook her head and then sighed. “Everything feels perfect between us, it’s just that…” she blushed and looked down. “We’re taking things slow but it feels like a little too slow, at times.” 

“What do you mean?”

“It’s almost like we’re still just best friends hanging out, at times… the difference is that we kiss and cuddle.” She mumbled. 

“What’s the problem, then?” Alex asked, genuinely confused.

“We just kiss and cuddle.” She mumbled, taking a gulp of her wine.

Oh…” 

“And I mean, I’m okay with that but I’m panicking a little bit because what if she’s having second thoughts or doubts or-“

“Whoa, slow down.” She chuckled. “Two questions: have you two never done anything besides kissing and cuddling? And have you talked about it?”

“No, we’ve stayed pretty much on making out and snuggling together on the couch-“

“Couch? Not even bed?”

“No.”

“How long have you been together for?”

“Officially for six weeks.”

“And unofficially?”

“Maybe two months.”

“Okay, and have you two talked about it?”

“I wouldn’t know how to bring it up.”

“Weren’t you two taking it slow to improve your communication? Because this seems like the perfect scenario where communication could be improved.” She said with a playful smile. 

“What if she regrets it?” Kara sighed. “Being with me.”

“What if she’s just giving you time to adjust to being with her? She’s your best friend and you two have a wild history together.” She shrugged. “You’re gonna have to talk to her.” 

“Why is love so hard?!” She asked dramatically, throwing her head back and sighing.

“I have to confess I’m very surprised though… I kind of thought you’d be going at it like rabbits.” 

“I wish.” Kara mumbled, her head still thrown back against the couch, making Alex laugh. 

“Talk to Lena.” She said with a smile. “Maybe she feels the same way and you're wasting time for not doing what you said you'd do.” She patted her thigh, amused by her sister's frustration.

“I don't want to push her.”

“I said talk to her, not jump her as soon as you see her. There's a difference.” She chuckled. “Maybe you can cuddle and kiss after that.” She said teasingly and Kara huffed and frowned, making her laugh again.

 

 

 

Next day

 

“Ready for game night?” Alex asked when Kara opened the door to her apartment, letting a very excited Esme and Kelly pass.

“Jenga will be brutal today.” Kara chuckled. “J'onn and M'gann will be here soon, Brainy and Nia are getting everything ready and I'm finishing the snacks.” She said to get them up to speed.

“Esme and I will help with setting everything up.” Kelly smiled and Kara nodded, watching her cute niece running to Nia for a hug.

“What about Lena?”

“She'll be here in a bit. She's been in meetings all day and wanted to go home to shower and change.” she smiled.

“You should've told her to bring an overnight bag.” She said with a wink and Kara pouted, making her laugh.

A few minutes later Alex got the door and opened it, allowing their missing friends to join the group. 

“I'm sorry but I couldn't escape earlier.” Lena apologized, referring to the meeting she had scheduled that day.

“Don't worry about it.” Kara smiled, going to her and giving her a quick peck. “Go sit down, I'll get your wine and snacks.” 

“Why does Lena get her own snacks?” Alex asked playfully, making Lena laugh while she sat down on the floor next to Esme, who immediately hugged her tightly. 

“Because she's Lena.” Kara said nonchalantly, taking her spot on the couch behind Lena and handing her a glass of her favorite red wine.

“Let's Jenga.” Brainy said and they all laughed.

 

“I had so much fun today.” Kara chuckled, closing the door after Alex and Kelly managed to get a very sleepy Esme out of the apartment. “And I’m so glad you came.” She said softly, walking to Lena and hugging her from behind while she refilled their glasses.

“I’m sorry I didn’t get here sooner to help you get everything ready.” She said with a soft voice, turning around in Kara’s arms.

“Don’t even mention it! You were busy with work, and I will certainly not interfere with the world saving genius.” She smiled.

“Reviewing budget spreadsheets with the board is hardly saving anyone.” She chuckled, cupping Kara’s face with her left hand and pulling her down for a soft kiss. “Wanna watch a movie and snuggle on the couch?” she asked, kissing her again.

“Sounds perfect.” She smiled, even if her conversation with Alex the earlier night still resonated in her mind. “Why don’t you change into something more comfortable for the movie?” she asked nervously while Lena walked to the couch.

“More comfortable?” she asked confused.

“I just thought maybe you could stay over tonight.” Kara said with her best puppy eyes. “I’ll fly you to the office first thing in the morning, I know you have that board meeting.”

“I didn’t bring any clothes.” Lena responded with a small smirk and a raised eyebrow.

“You can pick something from my closet.” She offered. “But it’s just an idea! Don’t feel pressured, I just thought you could stay over… Unless it-”

“Sounds perfect.” Lena smiled, interrupting her before Kara went crazy with assumptions.

“Really?”

“Why are you so surprised?” she smiled, leaving her wine on the coffee table and walking to her.

“We said we’d take things slow, and I didn’t know if asking you to spend the night was-”

“I know we said we’d take things slow, but that didn’t mean I have a midnight curfew we have to respect every time.” She said amused. “I’m not 16.”

“I just didn’t want to push your boundaries.”

“Kara, we’ve known each other for years. We’ve fallen asleep on that very couch more times than I can remember… we’re taking things slow, but not to the point of pretending we don’t know each other.” She said gently. “I love you, and if I’m being honest, I’ve been trying to contain myself on a few aspects because I didn’t want to push your boundaries since this is your first real relationship with a woman.”

“I’ve been with women before.” Kara said with a playful frown.

“Not in a serious relationship, though… unless that’s something you’ve kept very close to the vest.” Lena smiled curiously.

“No, not in a relationship but I’ve dated before… in college.” She said and Lena nodded. “I… I’ve been with women.” She said with a pointed look. “I know how things work.”

“Well, then I apologize for holding back.”

“How have you been holding back?” she asked curiously, swallowing hard when Lena smirked and raised her eyebrow, those piercing eyes looking into Kara’s very soul.

“I’m better at showing than talking.” She said in a low voice that made Kara’s skin erupt in goosebumps.

Lena simply pulled her face down for a slow deep kiss that made Kara’s heart beat faster, noticing how Lena’s tongue was more determined in how it moved in her mouth, her hands roaming more freely from her neck and down her front, cupping her breasts for a quick second before she abruptly broke the kiss. Kara kept her eyes closed for a second to try and calm her racing thoughts and had to use all her strength to stop herself from moaning, feeling how her whole world stopped when Lena gently captured her lower lip with her own and sucked on it gently before letting her go.

“Where can I find the more comfortable clothes?” Lena asked nonchalantly, walking to Kara’s bed and sitting on a corner, her plump lips looking so tempting that Kara had to stop herself from acting on her thoughts.

“They- they’re here.” She said, clearing her throat and shaking her head for a moment to clear her mind while Lena’s gaze followed her around the room. “You can pick anything from here… these are warmer.” She said pointing to a pair of soft flannel pants.

“I tend to get cold at night, so those will do.” Lena said and Kara handed her the pants and a plain white t-shirt, stopping dead in her tracks when Lena got on her feet and turned around so her back would be facing Kara, and then removed her shirt and bra, pulling on the t-shirt over her head. Kara simply stared at her and watched Lena kick off her sneakers and pull her jeans down, revealing the soft and expensive-looking lace of her underwear that she promptly covered with the flannel pants. “So… which movie are we watching?” she asked so nonchalantly that Kara had to react like she hadn’t been staring at her perfect round ass, even if her deep blush betrayed her.

“Y-you pick one.” She said and Lena smirked, loving the effect she had on her girlfriend with very mild teasing. “I’m gonna change.” She said and grabbed a pair of sleep shorts and a tank top while Lena walked back to the couch. “Oh, Rao…” she sighed as soon as she was alone, swallowing hard and taking a moment to compose herself while she changed.

“What about this one?” Lena said, suggesting a film that Kara had never watched.

“Midnight in Paris? Sure, sounds fun.” She smiled, taking her usual seat on the couch behind Lena, who promptly moved to rest against Kara’s front, smiling when her arms wrapped around her body.

“Have you ever been to Paris?” Lena asked at some point during the movie.

“I’ve been there but for quick trips.” She said softly, loving the way Lena’s thumb was rubbing soothing circles on her hands. “I saw the Eiffel tower all lit up once, though.” She said with a smile. “But I’ve never been there to explore and walk around.”

“Maybe we could go…” Lena said softly. “I love Paris, and Rome… I have to go to Madrid for a tech summit in November; maybe we could plan our very own trip there before the holidays.”

“I’d love that.” She smiled, kissing Lena’s neck. “By the way, now that we’re talking about trips…” she smiled. “Alex and I were thinking about taking Esme to Midvale for a few days to show her around and give her the Danvers experience.” She told her excitedly. “We think we could leave on a Wednesday and come back on Sunday… I know you’re super busy but would you consider going?” she asked and Lena sat up and looked at her. “I just… I want to show you where I grew up, and how I adjusted to human life… we also plan on camping one night to show Esme the stars and talk about space and all that.”

“I’d love to go.” Lena smiled. “I love camping.” She said with a nose crinkling grin.

“You do?” Kara asked surprised, picturing Lena in her expensive dresses and high heels walking around the woods looking around for ways to make her tech work.

“I do! My mom taught me some basics to survive in the woods when I was little… we’d go camping with some of her friends and their kids, tell stories around the fire and playing around the woods.” She told her with a soft voice that Kara knew was practically reserved to fond memories of Lena’s mother. “When I moved in with the Luthors they made it clear that camping was absurd and uncomfortable, but Lex…” she smiled, looking down as she often did when she remembered the good times with her psycho brother before he went unhinged. “We used to spend time in a cottage in the country for summer breaks- looking back, I think it was Lillian’s way of getting us out of the way- and he’d set everything up in the back garden for us to camp… of course we’d have the nanny bring us dinner and snacks, and then my father would drag us back inside for bed time… I still had the time of my life out there.” She said with a sad smile. “I think deep down he loved me… much less than he loved himself, of course, but he loved me.”

“He did… you were his little sister.” Kara smiled and pulled her in for a hug.

“Anyway… I’d love to go if the Danvers want to have me.” She smiled and kissed Kara’s cheek.

“The Danvers can’t wait to have you there.” She smiled brightly at her.

“Can I bring one very high-tech gadget, though? Only one.” She said and Kara chuckled.

“Of course.” She kissed Lena’s hair and then they watched the rest of the movie in silence. By the time to get to bed came, Kara was feeling almost nervous because she’d have to share her bed with Lena, and that would be a brand-new experience for them as a couple, but once again Lena surprised her.

“Do you have a spare toothbrush I can use? I promise I’ll prepare an overnight bag for next time.” She said while she sat up and stretched her arms over her head.

“I have one.” She said and walked to the bathroom to get one from the cabinet. “Feel at home and look around if you need something.” She said with a small smile, leaning forward to kiss her gently.

“Thank you.” She whispered back and kissed her again. After brushing her teeth and removing her makeup she walked to bed, smiling when she saw Kara standing almost awkwardly next to it. “I usually sleep on the right side, but I can switch if that’s yours.” She said and Kara smiled, shaking her head.

“I’ve always slept on the left.” She said and watched how Lena removed her earrings and set them next to her phone on the bedside table, making Kara feel at home. “Get in here, Supergirl. I need my beauty sleep.” Lena smiled and Kara chuckled, getting on her side of the bed and smiling widely when she felt Lena scooting closer to her, her hand going to Kara’s cheek to caress her gently. “You can stop holding back too… I want you to be confident and relaxed with me like I’m with you. No more hiding feelings, no more holding back.”

“Okay.” She nodded, leaning down to kiss her so slowly that Lena felt her head spinning. “We’ll let things flow… but just so you know, I’m ready. For everything, and anything… I don’t care if it’s too fast or not, I just… I want all of you, Lena.” She confessed, making Lena look up at her with adoring eyes.

“You can have all of me, Kara… everything and anything.” She said and pulled her down for a heated kiss that conveyed her feelings. “And I’m more than ready.” She whispered, kissing her again and gently tugging on her lower lip with her teeth. “But for tonight… let’s just have some rest.” She smiled gently, caressing her jaw with her thumb.

“Sweet dreams.” She said tenderly, leaning forward to kiss Lena’s forehead lovingly, making her smile.

“Always with you.” She replied, snuggling into her side. Kara closed her eyes and smiled widely, listening to Lena’s steady breathing and her heartbeat, enjoying her warmth around her body.

“I love you, Lena.” She whispered softly.

“I love you more.” She said with a cheesy grin.

 

The next morning Kara woke up early, the sun barely making its way after a dark night, but Lena’s calm breathing is what made her feel warm inside. She watched her sleep for a few seconds, loving how serene she looked without a frown while trying to fix a problem in her lab, or that stern look she gave people who crossed her path at the office.

No, Lena looked at peace while sleeping. She was relaxed, beautiful and fragile.

Kara took a deep breath and snuggled into her, closing her eyes and listening to that strong heartbeat that kept Lena alive. She felt her stir and didn’t move, wanting her peace to last just a little longer, for her to be at ease just another moment before facing the day.

And it worked. Lena turned on her side, taking a deep breath and pulling Kara’s hand around her waist so they’d spoon, easily falling asleep. She pressed her forehead to Lena’s back and loved the soft fragrance of her perfume that lingered on her skin, the warmth that radiated from her body, and the gentle way her body moved while she breathed.

“Oh Rao… I love you so, so much…” she whispered softly, knowing that Lena was fast asleep.

After another hour or so Lena stirred again, this time taking that deep breath that usually preceded her brain waking up, opening her eyes and smiling when she felt Kara pressed against her back. She reached for her hand and brought it up to her lips, pressing a soft kiss to her knuckles.

“Good morning.” She mumbled; her voice thick with sleep.

“Good morning.” Kara responded, kissing Lena’s shoulder and then the back of her neck, making her shiver.

“I don’t want to get up.”

“Let’s stay in bed a little longer.” Kara said and pulled her closer, burying her nose in Lena’s black hair.

“Can I tell you something?” Lena asked softly, caressing Kara’s fingers and the back of her hand.

“Anything.” She whispered, kissing her hair.

“This moment right here… it’s the happiest I’ve been in a long, long time.” She confessed in a whisper so soft that only Kara’s super hearing could’ve heard her.

Kara didn’t know how to respond, too overwhelmed by the heavy statement that she would treasure forever, so she simply squeezed Lena’s hand and held her impossibly closer while kissing her shoulder. Lena smiled and closed her eyes, allowing her busy brain to relax again for an extra half an hour of sleep, something that never happened.

Kara smiled when she heard Lena’s heavy breathing and stayed as still as she could to let her rest, loving how Lena’s walls had crumbled until she was so vulnerable in her arms. When she woke up again, Lena giggled like a kid that had been caught doing something wrong and turned on her side to face Kara with a sleepy smile.

“Sorry about that.” She mumbled and kissed her chin gently.

“Don’t apologize… I know I’m boring.” She joked and Lena just laughed.

“That’s the best night of sleep I’ve had in literal years.” She said and finally sat up, stretching her arms and back until something cracked.

“Oh, you’re crunchy.” Kara joked, making Lena laugh again.

“Sorry… old habit.” Lena shrugged, going to the bathroom to wash her mouth.

“Should we have breakfast here, or do you want to grab something on your way to work?” Kara asked, finally leaving the warm bed to go start some coffee.

“We can have breakfast here, if you don’t mind.” Lena smiled through a mouthful of toothpaste.

“Okay.” She smiled and promptly started looking around the kitchen to prepare Lena a breakfast of toast, bacon, eggs and fresh coffee in almost record time.

“Super speed has some unforeseen advantages.” She joked, coming to the kitchen and walking straight to Kara to plant a solid peck on her lips. “Thank you.”

“No problem.” She smiled, blushing a little.

“I have a full day at the office today, but I’ll definitely make it to date night… do we have a plan?”

“I was thinking about dinner at that Italian place you like, and then maybe a movie.”

“Sounds perfect, but…”

“But…”

“But why don’t we have dinner in my apartment? I’ll pick up the food from the restaurant, and then…” Lena said and took a sip of her coffee. “…and maybe you can bring your overnight bag this time.” She said softly. “And I’d strongly recommend you to not pack any pajamas.” She said with a pointed look and a raised eyebrow.

“No pajamas…” Kara repeated, a little flustered and blushing while her mind went to the gutter.

“Unless our conversation from last night is still valid and that’s a step too far.” Lena said and Kara immediately shook her head.

“No, not at all. It sounds perfect.” She nodded eagerly, smiling almost nervously.

“You sure? I don’t want to-”

“It sounds great, really.” She said reaching for Lena’s hand.

“Okay, then.” She smiled and then they finished breakfast. After some back and forth, Lena helped Kara with the dishes and then changed back into her clothes, grabbing her portal watch and activating it before walking to Kara with a mischievous smile. “I’ll see you in my apartment at 6.” She whispered and kissed her slowly and deeply, taking Kara’s breath away. “Don’t be late.” She winked and then walked to the portal, leaving a very flustered Kara standing in the living room with a dreamy smile.

 

Kara tried her best to keep herself busy all day, even going to the DEO to help Alex with anything that could help her keep her mind off the prospects for that evening. Much to her disappointment though, it was an unusually quiet day in National City, with almost no criminal activity and only minor incidents of robbery or car accidents that didn’t take much of her time.

“What’s gotten you so… giddy?” Alex asked after Kara asked for the third time in an hour if there were any alerts of aliens on the loose.

“Nothing.” She said and blushed, trying to hide a smile. “I’m not giddy… I just want to help.”

“Help on a Saturday morning? You’re never here so early, and you actually dragged me here too.” She said amused.

“I just want to be of help to the DEO.” She shrugged. “Oh, or maybe we could take Esme to the park!”

“Kelly’s taking her to a birthday party, so they’re busy.” She said raising her eyebrow.

“Maybe Supergirl could make a little kid’s day by showing up to their birthday party, then.”

“Kara, why don’t you want to be home?” she chuckled, noticing that her sister seemed to be eager and energetic, and not sad or anything she should be worried about.

“No reason.” She said and headed towards the kitchen, grabbing a donut and stuffing it in her mouth.

“You’re acting weird.” Alex said, clearly amused by her behavior. “Maybe we could train, then. Kryptonite room, you versus me.”

“I don’t want to leave you bruised like a peach and have Kelly yell at me.” She shook her head. “Maybe Nia or-”

“They were going to Parthas today. Nia’s introducing Brainy to her family.”

“Oh… well, then I guess we can train.” She said with a shrug, finishing the donut.

“Oh well, if I’m such a bore then maybe you can stay here on your own, waiting for-”

“Don’t.” Kara said amused, watching Alex walk to the door. “I just…” she started and then looked around, noticing a few agents having breakfast in a table.

“Are you ready to spill the beans?” Alex chuckled and Kara nodded, rolling her eyes. “About damn time. Come on, let’s go get some more donuts.” She said noticing that Kara had somehow taken another one. “Alright, start talking.” She said after they changed and made their way out of the DEO and walked around to a park nearby.

“Lena stayed over last night.”

“After game night?”

“Yep.” She nodded, a giant grin on her lips. “We talked about… you know, moving slow and all that, and…”

“And?”

“And… turns out you were right.” She chuckled.

“I’m usually right.” She said with a cocky look on her face. “What was I right about this time?”

“Well, turns out she was giving me time, just like you said.” She chuckled. “We were both giving each other time and space.”

“You idiots.” She smiled. “And? Did something happen?”

“Not last night… I mean, yes because we decided to stop holding back and let things flow more naturally and stuff, but nothing concrete happened.” She said with a bright smile, looking down to hide her blush.

“That smile is highly suspicious.” Alex pointed out and Kara laughed.

“We have a date tonight…” she mumbled and covered her mouth to hide a smirk.

“Oh, no wonder you’re so giddy.” She giggled. “Well, do I need to give you tips or-”

“Oh gosh, no. Don’t even.”

“Are you excited?” she asked with a dumb smile, sharing her sister’s happiness.

“I am… so very much.” She said playfully. “I can’t believe we’re at this point, you know? Like… we were just best friends six months ago and I thought it would be impossible to be with her, but now… now it’s happening.” She confessed. “And it’s more than sex, you know?” she said the word lowly, making Alex chuckle. “It’s just… how much she trusts me to get to this point.”

“She loves you.” She smiled. “And she trusts you… she feels safe with you, with Kara.”

“I’m so… I’m so in love, Alex… it’s scary.” She confessed, looking up at her with a smile. “I love her so much.”

“I can see that- we all can see it.” She said and reached to hug her tightly. “Take care of her, but also of yourself, okay?”

“Yeah.” She nodded, resting her head on her sister’s shoulder. “I think it’s the first time I’ve been so eager for… you know… this step.” She confessed sheepishly.

“Eager or nervous?”

“A bit of both, but mostly eager… it’s like I know it will be fun with her, you know?”

“Well, Lena gives some fun vibes, that’s for sure.” She chuckled and Kara looked up at her with a playful frown.

“Watch it.”

“Sorry… but I stand by what I said.” She said and Kara groaned, making her laugh.

 

Kara packed a small bag with some clothes and toiletries for her overnight stay at Lena’s, following the recommendation of not including any kind of sleepwear. She picked a nice outfit she felt comfortable in, and even decided to wear a small surprise for Lena, something that made everything feel real and made her mind go back to the gutter, picturing Lena’s face when she takes off her clothes and sees her for the first time.

She wondered if she should walk or fly to her penthouse, but since it was so early, she decided to make her way walking down the busy streets. A benefit of being Kryptonian was she wouldn’t get sweaty, and could just up and fly there if it got late.

She made a stop on the way to buy a bottle of Lena’s favorite wine and then decided to get a single rose for her too, since a whole dozen would be too much and she didn’t want to be cheesy. She eagerly walked the rest of the way to Lena’s building, trying her best to not burst into her super speed and get there even faster, so she was surprised to see that she managed to make it to Lena’s door a good ten minutes earlier.

She debated on what to do, but hearing how Lena’s heart was beating fast from inside the apartment she decided to put an end to the wait and knocked on the door. She heard Lena’s heartbeat pick up a little, making her smile, and then heard her footsteps approaching the door.

“You’re early.” Lena smiled, taking a step back and letting Kara into her neatly arranged penthouse.

“Tried my best to be late, but I’ve failed miserably.” She chuckled.

“You brought wine, and a bag… that makes up for it.” She responded playfully.

“And I also brought this.” Kara said softly, handing her the single rose she had put in her bag. “For you.”

“It’s beautiful.” Lena smiled softly, accepting the rose and giving her a soft peck. “Thank you.” She whispered and gave her another quick peck before walking to the kitchen to get a small vase for the rose and the two glasses she prepared for them. “Why don’t you leave your bag in the bedroom? I cleared some space for you in the closet.” She said nonchalantly.

“Really?” she smiled widely.

“Of course.” She said sweetly, placing the rose on the breakfast bar. “Come see.” She said and guided her to her bedroom. “It’s a huge closet, but if we need more space, I can make more room.” She added, showing Kara a whole section of the closet that was now empty and waiting for her stuff. “I know we said we’d let things flow, but… this is me opening myself up to you in every way I can and know.” She said softly, sitting on the bench in the middle of the walk-in closet. “I don’t want you to have doubts, because I don’t have them either.” She said and Kara smiled at her, nodding and setting her bag on her empty closet space before she took out the clothes she brought and neatly arranged them so it would fit in with the rest. “I also made room in the bathroom for your stuff.” Lena added when she saw Kara brought her own toothbrush.

“Thank you.” She whispered and walked to her, pulling her to her feet and then into a tight hug. “I love you.”

“I love you more.” She whispered back, her voice so fragile and soft that made Kara realize that finally the last of Lena’s walls had crumbled.

The neat white space that her apartment was could’ve seemed cold to some but it was always welcoming to Kara, almost like she had unlocked a new part of Lena that not everyone had access to. Kara knew that Lena was only vulnerable in her space, and that penthouse was her safe haven from the world, where she let her armor by the door and was able to relax and be just Lena, leaving the Luthor out the door as a mask for the world.

There was minimum décor in the space because Lena was always afraid she’d have to leave when the people of National City turned against the new Luthor in town, but there were three framed pictures that always warmed her heart: one of her and Kara alone, one of her, Kara, Sam and Alex, and one of all the super friends at Esme’s birthday party. Those photos represented Lena’s chosen family, the people she loved dearly and that she’d protect with her life if needed.

“Let’s have dinner.” She said softly and kissed Kara’s cheek, pulling her to the kitchen.

They sat down and Lena enjoyed watching Kara stuffing her face with her favorite lasagna while talking about her day with Alex at the DEO, which started out boring and ended up worse with them having to help J’onn with some paperwork. They sipped their wine and loved that atmosphere that buzzed with energy around them, making them both feel eager for what was to come.

“I have some tiramisu, do you-”

“The answer will always be yes!” Kara chuckled. “You should know that by now.” She playfully added, following Lena to the kitchen to refill their wine while she served dessert.

“I know, but I still have to ask.” She chuckled, and then they heard Kara’s phone ringing.

“That better be important.” She frowned, noticing it was Alex.

I know you’re busy but we need you in the desert facility now.”

“What’s going on?!” she asked, noticing the alarm blasting in the background, followed by some screams and a gunshot.

Hurry!” Alex said and then hung up.

“Go.” Lena said simply and Kara nodded, flying out of the penthouse.

 

When Kara got to the DEO it was almost like a warzone, and she just couldn’t understand what was happening until she found Alex and J’onn. She hurried to get to them and felt how some bullets bounced off her, making her frown.

“What’s going on?” she rolled her eyes.

“They’re mercenaries and are here to take one of our prisoners.” J’onn said. “I’ll head down there with Alex, you stop them.” He said and Kara nodded, deciding to take the more aggressive approach since she was frustrated and didn’t want to be dealing with mercenaries.

She ran to one of the mercenaries and tackled him to the ground, but that backfired when she felt the burning pain of a kryptonite knife stabbing her leg. She fell to her knees and heard the other mercenary making his way down to the holding cells where J’onn and Alex were, so she had to hurry.

The man who stabbed her leg with the knife laughed and then seemed almost surprised when Kara grabbed the knife and tossed it away, the leftover substance in her body making her skin look green and pale. She groaned and got on her feet, managing to grab the mercenary and tossing him into a containment cell on her way to find J’onn and Alex.

She hurried and was surprised when she felt the sting of kryptonite bullets hitting her, noticing that the mercenary had a loaded gun pointed at her and that Alex and J’onn were laying on the floor, motionless. She dealt with the pain as best as she could and then ran to him, tackling him hard and then getting stabbed again, this time on her arm.

The man resisted more than the other, and managed to hit her hard enough that she ended up on the floor while he and a tall and strong alien escaped. She angrily removed the knife and the bullet she could reach before she took off chasing after them, knowing that it was going to be a busy night for her but for all the wrong reasons.

 

After a long battle she finally managed to return the escaped alien back to the DEO, and got the mercenary arrested, all with two small Kryptonite bullet fragments in her arm and leg. She allowed Alex to remove them and then flew in a hurry back to Lena’s apartment, finding that she had changed out of her sexy pencil skirt and blouse and was on the couch with some files and the TV on with the news, watching the latest report of Supergirl’s battle in the city.

“Looks worse than it was.” Kara said with a playful grin, surprising Lena.

“She said while covered in blood and with a torn sleeve on her suit.” She said alarmed, walking to her. “What the hell happened?” she asked worriedly, looking at the clear wound marks all over her suit, not knowing if she could touch her.

“They were mercenaries and had Kryptonite knives and bullets-”

“What?!”

“-they got me a couple times, but I’m fine. Alex got the fragments and Brainy’s design of this suit will fix it overnight.” She smiled proudly.

“You were hurt with Kryptonite, Kara.” Lena said with fire in her eyes. “Who did it?!”

“They’re in police custody now.” She said and showed Lena the spots where she was hurt so she could see that she was fully healed, even if there was still blood on the fabric of her suit. “I’m fine.”

“Where did they get the Kryptonite? I thought the DEO had given up all they had and it was in the Fortress.”

“I don’t know, but Alex will work on that.” She said and sat down, but as soon as she touched the couch she got back up on her feet and looked down at the white surface to make sure the blood on her suit didn’t leave a stain.

“Are you sure you’re okay?” Lena asked, her thumb tracing the bullet hole on her arm, and then moved it down to where she had been stabbed.

“I am, I promise.” She said softly, appreciating Lena’s concern but feeling guilty because she worried. “You know this will happen very often, right? Me having to leave in the middle of a conversation, and being exposed to kryptonite and-”

“I know, Kara, I know. It doesn’t make it any easier.” Lena sighed, pulling her down for a soft comforting kiss. “I won’t ever stop you from saving anyone or anything, and I will still worry that you’re exposed out there… that’s what happens when you love someone, regardless of if it’s someone that’s bulletproof.” She said with a small smile.

“You don’t have to worry-”

“I saw you getting beaten to a pulp by Reign years ago… I saw you basically die right there in front of me and I was worried sick- and I didn’t know it was you.” Lena reminded her. “I’m gonna worry, Kara… that doesn’t mean I’ll ever stop you from helping people and saving the world. I will worry because I love you, but I know that what you do is greater than anything I could ever do or understand.” She said softly, cupping Kara’s face with gentle hands. “My job, though…” she smiled proudly. “I’ll reward you and make you forget after the long, tough battles.” She whispered and pulled her down for a deep kiss.

“Lena…”

“I’ll talk to Brainy on Monday to find a way to make your suit Kryptonite proof, or at least more resistant.” She said matter of factly. “I have ideas that could work to add part of the nano technology from the special suit into your regular suit.” She said with a smile, looking into Kara’s eyes. “I’ll protect you, the way you protect all of us.” She whispered, pulling her down for a brief kiss. “Now, let me run you a bath so you can clean up.”

“Okay.” She said simply, following Lena to her bathroom and waiting next to her while she prepared everything.

“I’ll be outside waiting-”

“Get in with me.” Kara interrupted her, grabbing Lena by the wrist and then quickly intertwining their fingers. “I’m this close to prove if a Kryptonian can self-combust in frustration.” She said playfully, making Lena laugh.

“Really?”

“I’m dying.” She confessed, blushing.

“Well then… say no more.” she smirked, raising her eyebrow in an almost seductive way.

Lena took a step back in front of Kara and removed her oversized sweater, revealing a lacy white bra that tempted Kara’s mind before it too was discarded seconds later, revealing her beautiful and perfect full breasts to Kara’s curious eyes. She didn’t break eye contact and then removed her tights, revealing the matching lacy underwear that covered her most private parts, making Kara’s mouth water.

“I’m so lucky.” Kara sighed without realizing, making Lena blush under her intense gaze. “You’re so damn beautiful.”

“Thank you, darling.” Lena whispered, looking up at her. “Your turn.” She said mischievously, a finger tracing the glyph of the House of El on her chest.

“Yes ma’am.” She winked, quickly removing her super suit and standing in front of Lena in nothing but the tiny lingerie set she chose for the occasion.

“My, my, Supergirl… you go around saving the world wearing that?” Lena asked playfully, a raised eyebrow and a cheeky grin on her lips.

“I do, Miss Luthor… you never know when you can encounter a sexy, beautiful world saving genius in need of some eye candy.” She said playfully, loving the way Lena’s eyes traced the outline of the silk and lace pieces, followed by a gentle index finger.

“Well, I don’t know about all that, but you can come be eye candy for me whenever you want.” She said and leaned forward for a kiss that started out slow and grew in intensity until hands were roaming freely, touching and grabbing, eager to feel all the skin they could.

“Screw the bath.” Kara mumbled against Lena’s mouth, kissing her hard and pushing her against the tiled wall, making her hiss as it was cold and it made her nipples instantly harden. She kissed Lena deep and hard, conveying her feelings and eagerness into the exchange, her hands grabbing Lena’s pale thighs and making her wrap them around her waist so she could pick her up with ease and walk them back to the bed.

She gently laid her down and kneeled up, making work of the last of their clothes before climbing on top of Lena’s warm body, the comfort of her weight making her moan softly into the kiss. She felt Lena’s hands all over her, almost as if she couldn’t decide which part of Kara she wanted to touch more, finally settling for running her fingers down her back, feeling every muscle flexing while on their way to her firm, round ass.

Kara sighed into her mouth, moving her lips down to Lena’s beautiful neck and dropping wet kisses all over her pulse point, collar bone and jaw, sucking gently on that one freckle that she couldn’t stop thinking about, and then letting her tongue playfully trace a warm path back to her mouth. She kissed her with so much passion that she thought she’d pass out, but that didn’t stop her from letting a hand roam and cup a full breast, squeezing gently until Lena’s fingernails dug a little deeper into Kara’s skin.

“You’ve got to be kidding me!” Kara groaned, frustration taking over when she heard her phone ringing and her ears caught the sounds of ambulances and emergency vehicles rushing in the street. “It’s probably Alex, something happened in the-”

“Go do what you have to do. I’ll be waiting for you...” Lena smiled, cupping her face to give her a quick peck and pushing her off the bed with a smirk, watching her beautiful girlfriend speed to the bathroom to pick up her suit, get dressed and then rush out the balcony, leaving her alone in bed.

 

“This better be good.” Kara groaned while she flew over the city, feeling the discomfort between her legs growing with each passing second.

She spent the next hour fighting a fire in an old deposit by the docks, the smell of smoke clinging to her nostrils while she tried to help the firemen get everyone out and put out the fire. She helped get the workers to safety and carried one of them to the hospital, making sure he got the urgent care he needed as soon as she landed there.

She talked to Alex and quickly helped with a small robbery downtown, and then she finally made her way back to Lena’s, praying to all the gods in the universe that this time she’d be able to do what she was dying to do without any interruptions. When she got there, she stripped off her suit and followed the sound of Lena’s beating heart to the bathroom, finding her sitting in the bathtub with a glass of wine in her hand, her head thrown back in a way that exposed her neck and upper chest while she relaxed in the warm water with her eyes closed.

“Couldn’t let it go to waste.” Lena whispered, smiling when she heard Kara’s footsteps approaching her. “Where was the fire?” she asked and Kara frowned.

“How do you know it was a fire?”

“You reek of smoke.” She chuckled, finally looking over at her. “And you’re covered in ash.” She smiled, reaching for her hand. “Get in here.” She said and Kara nodded, stripping off her suit and getting in the water across from Lena. “Any more Kryptonite?”

“Nope, just a good old-fashioned fire in the docks.” She said, taking the glass from Lena’s hand for a drink.

“Everyone safe?” Lena asked, noticing how Kara struggled to keep her eyes away from her exposed breasts.

“Yep, only one of the workers would need medical attention.” She said and watched almost nervously how Lena scooted closer to her, climbing on her lap and wrapping her legs around her frame.

“You’re the bravest person I’ve ever met.” She whispered, kissing Kara’s cheek adoringly, wiping the ash off her skin with warm delicate hands. “Is this okay?” she asked and Kara nodded enthusiastically, her hands going to feel Lena’s thighs and then moving to her back. “Try to relax.” She said kissing her softly, cupping her face and guiding her so she’d rest her head against the edge of the bathtub.

Lena reached for a soft sponge and very gently moved it over Kara’s body, gently scrubbing away the smoke and dried blood that covered her after such an eventful night. She took her time to move her hands over her soft skin, feeling the goosebumps that erupted wherever her fingers went, a sweet reaction that told her how much Kara was enjoying her attention.

“Thank you.” She whispered honestly, her piercing blue eyes looking up into Lena’s with so much love that she had to stop for a second.

“You take care of everyone else…” she said and set the sponge aside, replacing it with her hands all over Kara’s bare breasts and shoulders, massaging them gently. “…but I’ll take care of you.” She said in an honest whisper, leaning forward to seal her promise with a gentle kiss.

They stayed in the water for a while longer, enjoying the new physical contact between them, how easy it was to just touch each other and being in such a vulnerable state knowing they were safe. When the water got cold and Lena’s hands and feet were wrinkly from being in there for too long, Kara carried her to bed, loving the weight of her in her arms, the warmth that radiated from her, and the way Lena wrapped an arm around her shoulders just to feel closer to her.

“We don’t have to do anything tonight. Today was draining and you had a crazy night.” Lena said when she saw Kara hesitate on her next move. “We can cuddle and kiss… tomorrow’s a new day.” She suggested, patting the spot next to her in bed.

“That actually sounds so nice.” She whispered with a smile, getting in bed and turning on her side to face Lena.

“Hey.” She smiled playfully, moving closer to her and throwing her leg over Kara’s hip while her hands cupped her face adoringly.

They made out for a while, letting hands explore even more than they had done until then, smirking when they got to steal a few soft eager moans from each other. Kara noticed how Lena’s lips were no longer holding back at all, going for surprisingly hot and intense kisses that made her heart pound in her chest faster than it ever did before.

After Lena managed to make Kara moan softly in her mouth again, she broke the kiss and looked up at her through hooded eyes, smirking with certain mischief that was new to her and that turned Kara on to no end. It was the moment where she discovered just how deeply in love she was with her best friend, and how she wouldn’t be able to let go of her no matter what, since her body and soul felt both exposed and safe in front of her.

“Can I touch you?” Lena asked with a raised eyebrow, a hand that had been positioned on Kara’s hip moving slowly towards her abs, pressing her knuckles gently before she moved it a little lower until Kara’s breath hitched and she almost gasped in anticipation.

Kara didn’t respond with words, simply biting her lower lip and closing her eyes, taking a deep breath as soon as her hand moved again and touched her trimmed mound and then moved even lower. She could feel Lena’s eyes on her face, analyzing every gesture to keep it in her memory forever as the most treasured moment of her life.

“Kara…” she whispered right as her fingertips reached her folds and spread them apart so gently, feeling how wet she was. She watched Kara’s face and smirked when she saw her swallowing hard, smiling and blushing before she finally opened her eyes and looked back at her.

They didn’t need words in that moment, the years of friendship coming in handy when Lena read her like an open book and trusted her gut to fill the blanks, pressing a gentle finger to Kara’s little clit and circling it gently, making her gasp. She leaned forward to kiss her slowly while her fingers continued exploring her, but one thing that Kara couldn’t have foreseen was Lena pushing her to lay on her back and straddling her hips in a swift and sudden movement.

“Lena, that was…” she said surprised, with wide eyes, feeling her wet folds pressed against her abs. “You… wow…”

“You’ve seen nothing yet…” she said in a seductive whisper, pulling her black hair up in a tighter ponytail before she leaned down to kiss her with so much hunger that Kara felt how the air was escaping from her lungs.

Kara’s hands grabbed her ass firmly, pulling her even closer to her body while they made out. Lena smirked and kissed a trail down her neck, making the most of the experience and sucking hard all over her pulse point and collarbone, knowing that there would be no marks on the Kryptonian thanks to her healing nature, but following Kara’s constant moans to know that it felt good anyway.

She continued dropping kisses down her sternum, and then she captured a nipple with her lips, swirling her tongue around it to make Kara sigh and moan softly, her strong hand going to Lena’s head to keep her there just a moment longer. She felt how that hot tongue was being so gentle against her nipple until it was hard, and then she felt her move to give the other breast the same treatment, only that this time she added a playful bite and tug that made her hiss and curl her toes in pleasure.

“You’re killing me.” She sighed, making Lena chuckle and drop a wet kiss on her abs.

“You’re gonna thank me later.” She winked, dragging her body down and positioning herself between her bent knees, spreading them apart with her gentle hands while her eyes never left blue ones. “You’re so beautiful, Kara… literally out of this world.” She said softly, allowing her eyes to wander, watching her being exposed to her, her guard down and body surrendered to her.

She loved watching her small breasts with the hard nipples still eager for attention, her body reacting to how eager she was, and then the glistening of her folds. She felt warmth in her body when she realized that Kara was so eager for her, for her touch, and that there was nothing in the whole universe that would be able to tear her away from her bed from that moment on.

She leaned down and got comfortable, her hands on Kara’s inner thighs to keep them apart, and then pressed soft kisses all over her mound and thighs, feeling her tensing with each passing second. When she was finally ready to do what she was dying to do, she looked up at Kara and raised her eyebrow with the sexiest smirk she had ever seen, lowering her lips and capturing her clit between them.

“Oh, Rao…” Kara sighed, shivering and grabbing fistfuls of the bed sheets underneath. Lena’s tongue was warm, firm and gentle, barely touching her beyond teasing taps on her clit and circling her entrance.

“Mmm… you taste so sweet.” Lena whispered, mostly to herself but still hoping that Kara heard the praise. “I love the way you taste… I’m addicted.” She mumbled softly and then went to work again, using all her experience and desire to make Kara moan and shiver on the bed.

“That feels so good…” Kara sighed, looking down between her legs and making eye contact with Lena, who sucked gently on her clit. “Oh, Rao…” she sighed again, sitting up a little to get a better angle.

“Something wrong?” Lena asked, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand.

“Everything’s perfect.” Kara said and pulled her up for a long and deep kiss, tasting herself in Lena’s mouth. She gently pulled her on top and smiled when she felt Lena’s hand sneaking between them to continue her work, her long fingers circling her clit slowly while they made out. “You’re driving me crazy, Lena…” she chuckled, letting her go back to kissing her neck again, sucking hard on the sensitive spot behind her ear.

“I love how wet you are for me…” she whispered, her voice husky and low, thick with want in a way that intoxicated Kara. “You’re so sensitive too…” she practically moaned in her ear, flicking her clit with her skilled fingers. “I want to make you moan…” she said softly, tugging her earlobe with her teeth while she gently pushed a single digit into Kara’s core.

“Lena… that’s-” she swallowed thickly, her hands grabbing her firm ass.

“Tell me what you like, darling… tell me what I have to do.” She told her softly as she pushed a second finger into her, making her moan a little louder while her walls stretched to accommodate the intrusion. “You’re soaked, babe.”

If Kara wasn’t turned on and soaked by then, hearing Lena call her babe took it to a whole other level.

“I- you- that’s all I want.” Kara managed to say, feeling her throat dry and Lena’s smirk against her skin. “Rao…” she whispered and closed her eyes, feeling how she moved down her body again, settling down between her legs and kissing her mound.

Lena grabbed Kara’s wrists and held them tightly, feeling almost powerful to have the strongest being on Earth subject to her control even if she could easily set herself free. She busied herself with Kara’s sensitive clit, sucking on it and teasing it with her tongue.

The soft moans that escaped her mouth really made Lena feel empowered, so she moved a hand back to work, pushing a finger into her followed by a second one that made Kara arch her back off the bed. She looked up from where she was, lips latched onto her throbbing knob and with an arched eyebrow that made her sigh and feel so close to the edge.

“Lena… Lena…” she mumbled, closing her eyes and moving her free hand to the back of her head to guide her, but mostly to keep her in place and prevent any teasing from her part. She could feel her heart pounding in her chest, but the sound of Lena’s heartbeat, racing with excitement while eating her out, the soft wet sounds her fingers made while entering her and the almost imperceptible little moans from her when she felt more warmth were making Kara feel like she was about to experience her senses in overdrive.

The comfort of Lena’s hand on her wrist made her feel grounded, comfortable and relaxed, and it was more symbolic than anything else: she wanted to submit to her, to surrender all control to Lena. She felt like she was right where she was supposed to be.

Lena’s fingers moved inside her with so much ease and experience that Kara was jealous of every partner she had before her, all the people who were there before her and got to experience the magnificence of Lena Luthor focused on giving them pleasure. She felt conflicted because she both couldn’t get enough of Lena, wanting to keep her down there for as long as she could, and also because she couldn’t wait for her turn to taste her and make her moan her name.

She allowed Lena to continue working on her, the gentle and subtle changes in the rhythm making her head spin and her frustration to grow, but she knew that it would all be worth it when she decided to stop the teasing and grant her a release. She could feel how Lena’s fingers that had simply been pumping into her started curling against her walls, looking for that very sensitive spot that she found surprisingly fast, making Kara gasp in surprise.

She felt the satisfied smirk against her clit, the warmth of her cockiness radiating from her until a challenging eyebrow was raised and Kara threw her head back against the pillow, canting her hips up so Lena’s mouth would have to stop teasing her. She felt almost like she was in overdrive, her senses clouded in a way she couldn’t remember them being ever before, and her heart was pushed to its limits, making her feel close to a human heart attack.

“Lena, oh my- oh Rao, you’re gonna make me-” she mumbled and Lena simply chuckled, sucking hard on her clit and redoubling the effort she made with her fingers, dragging Kara to the most intense orgasm of her life. “God!” she moaned loudly, shaking uncontrollably on the bed, feeling how Lena’s hand released her wrist and was wrapped around her leg and used it to pin her down a little while she continued eating her out with renewed energy, almost as if she was trying to make her reach another consecutive peak. “Lena- Lena! Oh, please don’t stop baby” she whimpered; her eyes shut close so tight she was seeing more stars than she did while she wandered around the universe.

“You’re so beautiful.” She mumbled against her sensitive core, her chin dripping Kara’s warmth. She kept moving her fingers, feeling how her wrist burned with the effort, but didn’t relent until a cascade of mumbles both in English and the Kryptonian’s mother tongue filled the room, making her feel almost powerful.

“Too much- oh, Rao, Lena!” she whimpered in a husky voice that shook Lena to her core, feeling how her own clit was demanding attention with an incessant throbbing that was driving her crazy. “That’s so good…” Kara said and looked down, breathing heavily and with her hand tangled in the dark locks of Lena’s hair while she happily nuzzled into her to bring her down from her high, giving gentle licks avoiding her clit and sucking her folds clean before she finally withdrew her fingers from inside her.

She gently kissed Kara’s thighs and mound, gently bit down on her abs to make her hiss, and then finally captured her soft lips in a hungry kiss, making Kara feel weak again when she tasted herself on Lena’s tongue. She held her tightly in her arms, feeling how Lena almost instinctively adjusted her position to straddle Kara’s thigh and grind almost gently against it.

“You’re soaked.” She croaked out into the kiss, her hands gripping Lena’s hips firmly while she felt her warm folds pressed against the cool skin of her thigh. “Let me help with that.” She smirked, but was surprised when Lena reached to pin her hands down to the bed again.

“I can wait.” She said with a triumphant look on her face. “I can’t get enough of you, Kara.” She said with adoring eyes, her lips kissing the corner of her mouth. “I’m addicted to you…” she whispered, kissing her jaw. “To you moaning my name.” she kissed her neck, sucking rather harshly on it to make Kara hiss, having to contain herself to stay pined on the bed. “I love how my name sounds like when you’re so far gone…” she confessed, trying her best to leave a solid hickey on Kara’s collarbone, knowing full well that it wouldn’t work.

“Lena… I need you.” She sighed, tilting her head to the side to offer more room to Lena’s lips.

“I want you so bad, Kara Zor-El.” She whispered and moved a hand to Kara’s core, pushing two fingers inside her. “Wanna go another round?” she smirked, pumping her slightly curled fingers into her to make the Kryptonian moan loudly. 

Lena didn’t get an answer but was instead flipped back onto the bed, with Kara hovering over her and kissing her deeply while still riding her two fingers that were curled to look for the spot that she was so happy to have found. Kara sighed into the kiss and Lena smirked, tilting her head to the side so Kara would kiss her jawline and neck, moaning in her ear when Lena withdrew her hand and brought her fingers to her lips, sucking them clean while looking into blue eyes.

“I want to taste you again.” She said and Kara swallowed hard.

“It’s my turn.” She said simply, her voice husky and shaking, but still firm enough to tell Lena how ready she was.

She grabbed Lena’s hands and pined them to her sides, reminding herself to be gentle or she could hurt her with her strength. Lena didn’t even try to fight her, happy to feel Kara’s mouth all over her neck, breasts and nipples, playing with them until they felt raw and were so sensitive that even a slight flick of her tongue would make her shiver.

She loved how Kara was as rough with her as she had been a moment earlier, but still was very mindful of not hurting Lena. She then wondered what it would be like to have Kara in all her strength, unfiltered and without a single worry about her getting hurt, all to the point of her almost planning for a trip to Argo City until Kara’s teeth tugged on her hard, sensitive nipple to get her attention back.

“If you knew how bad I’ve wanted to do this…” she confessed with a shy grin, moving both her hands to cup and fondle Lena’s breasts, feeling the hardened nipples against her palms. She leaned down to kiss Lena again, sucking on her lips and tongue while she played with her breasts, leaving Lena breathless, crossing her legs to bring some relief to her aching clit.

“Kara, please…” Lena whimpered softly, a hand going to Kara’s hair to try and guide her lower, but meeting the resistance of a Super. “Please… baby, please…”

That hoarse whisper that was so low only Kara could hear was almost enough to make her jump over the edge again.

“I don’t want to rush this…” she whispered back, her lips sucking a solid hickey on the underside of Lena’s beautiful breast. “I want to spend all night with you.” She confessed, kissing her way down Lena’s stomach, kissing her quivering abs and then her belly until she reached a soft neatly waxed mound.

“Please… my clit, darling…” she insisted, tugging a little on Kara’s blond hair to get her attention. “Please, babe…” she whispered and Kara licked her lips and swallowed hard, moving up to capture Lena’s lips in a searing hot kiss, more aggressive than before since she was showing her how hungry she was for her and her body too.

When Kara felt Lena’s fingernails digging on her back and swallowed a loud and desperate moan, she decided that it had been enough teasing for the time being, so she moved down the bed and gently pushed Lena’s legs apart, revealing her beautiful glistening core to her curious eyes. She could hear Lena’s heart beating alarmingly fast, her ragged breaths and desperate eyes making a jolt of energy run all over Kara’s body, almost as if she had been supercharged by the Sun.

“I’ll take care of you.” She whispered so softly she wasn’t even sure that Lena heard her, but still she lowered her face and pressed it to her mound, kissing the apex of her legs with devotion while her hands caressed her soft thighs.

She took her time to build up the expectations, kissing Lena’s inner thighs and playfully biting them to make her gasp and smile, her hands holding her thighs so she’d be exposed and without possibility of moving away. Kara let her eyes wander, engraving the visual of Lena’s most intimate parts exposed for her, eager to feel her, inviting her to take a long taste.

She took a deep breath, the fresh scent that would now be the way she remembered Lena making her mouth water, and then she finally leaned forward, her tongue darting out to lap up the wetness that gathered from her entrance and that had spread all over her folds. Lena had to battle with herself to keep her eyes open and fixed on Kara, almost studying the way her face was completely relaxed while she tasted her for the first time.

The warmth of Kara’s tongue against her wet folds was something Lena had dreamed of, but that broke all the expectations: she was warm, gentle and still generous and dominant, worshipping Lena’s body and still claiming her as hers. Her soft tongue was skilled and almost too kind to her clit, brushing against it with featherlight touches that made Lena moan to beg for more.

She brought her thumb to join her mouth and gently pressed it to Lena’s clit, circling it until she let out the most delicious moan that made Kara smirk and feel empowered. She took her time making Lena sigh and moan softly, enjoying whatever Kara wanted to give her since it was clear she was no interested in reclaiming control at the moment, so when she directed her blue eyes up to look at her and found her beautiful hands playing with her breasts, tugging on her nipples and pinching them to make herself feel something, Kara felt like it was time.

She leaned in closer and finally let her tongue flick Lena’s clit with more intensity, followed by gentle lapping that clouded Lena’s senses and filled the room with soft whimpers and quiet please for more. Kara gently moved her tongue back to the tight warm entrance where she found even more warmth dripping, so she lapped it up and then carefully pushed her tongue into Lena, making her arch her back and bite her lower lip in pleasure.

“Kara…” she sighed, the thick sensuality of her voice not lost on the Kryptonian.

She pushed her tongue a little further, feeling how Lena’s walls closed around her muscle. She then reached with her hand and pressed two fingers to her lips, watching how the pink plump lips sucked them in, her tongue teasingly moving over Kara’s digits until she deemed them wet enough; Kara brought them down to Lena’s core and gently pushed them into her, making her gasp.

“Baby, that feels amazing…” Lena moaned.

There it was again… baby. Kara loved hearing that new name that was reserved only for her, and wasn’t about to stop until she heard it moaned with her name.

She slowly built a rhythm with her fingers and mouth, using them both to drive Lena crazy. Kara could hear every single sigh and deep breath, her heart literally skipping a beat whenever she sucked on her clit a certain way, and then that little whimper of her name when she surprisingly reached up to squeeze her breast, pinching her nipple.

“Kara, baby that feels so good- you’re driving me crazy…” she repeated in a soft breathy whisper, a hand moving to cover her hand to muffle her own moans. “Oh my god…” she moaned, feeling the intrusion of a third finger inside her, stretching her walls. “Oh, god- Kara, baby… babe that feels so good, baby…” she mumbled, eyes closed and head thrown back.

She closed her eyes and reveled on the sounds leaving Lena’s mouth, her heartbeat, and the feeling of her walls closing tighter and tighter around her digits, encouraging her to find that one spot that would trigger all the pleasure to take over Lena’s body like a wave. She allowed herself to enjoy every throb and flinch of Lena’s clit and walls, her fingers curling gently inside her but with a purpose in mind.

“That’s so amazing baby, keep- oh god, Kara!” Lena moaned, coming so suddenly that even Kara was surprised by her strength when she moved her hips looking for more. “Kara, baby…” she moaned, tugging at her blonde hair right as Kara curled her fingers again and Lena gasped, shaking before her. “Kara… oh my- oh, fuck, baby…”

She quickly climbed up Lena’s body and captured her lips in a searing kiss, swallowing her moans and whimpers, her fingers still moving inside her while her palm was firmly pressed against her clit. She broke the kiss when Lena’s fingernails dug so deep on her back that she felt as if she was almost going to break her skin, so she moved her lips to Lena’s neck and watched her tilt her head to the side, her hands going to Kara’s forearm that was between her legs to keep her hand there.

She allowed Lena to enjoy the high for a while longer and then brought her fingers out of her and up to her mouth, sucking on them while she caught her breath, looking blissfully exhausted with blushing cheeks and a smile she couldn’t contain. When she finally looked back at Kara her eyes were shining with adoration and love, a certain spark that she had never seen in those green eyes being bright and making her feel happy.

“You okay?” Kara asked her softly, cupping her face gently and leaning down to kiss her softly.

“Never been better.” She mumbled, still out of breath. “I love you.” She said and smiled widely, kissing Kara’s palm meaningfully.

“I love you more.” She said and kissed her lips lovingly, allowing Lena to deepen it and push her back to the bed. “Aren’t you tired?” she asked playfully, feeling Lena’s hand sliding between them all the way down to her core.

“You’re not the only one blessed with amazing stamina, Supergirl.” She winked, moving to whisper in her ear. “You’re gonna have to fuck me harder if you want to tire me out.”

“Challenge accepted.” She smirked, pushing Lena back onto the bed and pining her hands down, turning her own in ways that Lena’s body couldn’t even process, overwhelmed with feelings.

 

 

Kara woke up that morning with the sun in her eyes and the warmth of Lena’s body radiating next to her, her even and peaceful breathing being a stark contrast to the way she could barely get enough air to her lungs the night before when Kara was working between her legs. She closed her eyes and smiled, remembering how hot it had been to have Lena focused only on her, both while giving her pleasure and then when it was her turn to receive it.

She felt the urge to go at it again, but knew that Lena probably needed more rest after an eventful night that had intense physical activity until 4 in the morning when they both had finally satiated the thirst for each other, and had enough wine that Lena couldn’t keep her eyes open anymore. She turned on her side and watched that pale back exposed to her, a bunch of freckles adorning her skin in a way that Kara found tempting and tried to memorize.

She spent close to an hour just listening to Lena’s heartbeat and watching her sleep, loving the simple pleasure of allowing her to sleep in on a Sunday, and then decided to surprise her again. She quietly got off the bed and used her super speed to move around to get dressed, flying out of the balcony to go grab some stuff for her surprise.

She returned to the pent house and realized that Lena was still asleep, so she proceeded to quietly prepare their breakfast: fresh fruit, fresh croissants from Lena’s favorite bakery around the corner from her office, bacon, eggs and some jam in case she’d want some. She poured two cups of fragrant cappuccino prepared the way Lena loved it, grabbed whatever else she needed from the kitchen and then headed back to the bedroom, setting the tray on the empty bedside table on her side.

“Hey…” Kara whispered, climbing into bed and leaning forward to kiss her shoulders, her back and then her hair. “Good morning…” she said softly and felt Lena stir and take a deep breath.

“Morning…” she mumbled, turning on her side and snuggling into Kara’s chest. “Is that coffee I smell?” she asked with a bright smile, her eyes still closed.

“Full breakfast in bed for you.” Kara said with a proud smile, kissing Lena’s hair. “And I think you need it.” She chuckled, hearing how her stomach growled.

“Stop it.” She laughed, blushing embarrassed.

“It’s okay, I wore you down last night.” She said proudly, finally kissing her.

“Good morning, baby.” She smiled. “You didn’t have to bother with breakfast in bed.”

“I know, but I wanted to.” She shrugged, watching Lena sit up and fix her messy ponytail into a neat bun. “Careful, the coffee’s hot.” She said and set the tray between them in bed.

“How did you prepare all this and I didn’t hear you?”

“Superspeed.” She grinned.

“Did you go to the bakery?” she asked, taking a bite off the croissant.

“I did… I wanted to get you the real deal but-”

“Promise me you won’t fly to France to get croissants for breakfast.” Lena said with a serious face, making her laugh and blush.

“I can’t promise that.”

“I’d much rather wake up with you in bed next to me.” Lena said honestly, looking up at Kara with adoring eyes.

“I know, but I want to spoil you rotten from time to time.” She shrugged again. “Deal with it, Luthor.” She winked and Lena laughed. A moment later they heard Kara’s phone ring, making her groan in frustration since she wanted to spend the whole day in bed with Lena.

“Hey, what’s up?”

I know you guys had plans for today, but Esme wants us to go on a picnic to the park and thought we could ask auntie Lena and auntie Kara to come too.” Alex said apologetically. “You don’t have to say yes, don’t feel obligated.”

“Can I call you in a moment?”

Sure! We’re going to the park near the Waterfront. If you guys can make it, we’d love to have you… but again… I know you’re busy today.” She said teasingly, ending the call.

“Who was it?” Lena asked curiously, sipping her cappuccino.

“Alex.” Kara smiled, setting her phone down. “They’re going on a picnic to the Waterfront and wanted to see if we could go… Esme’s idea.”

“Oh, well… we can’t say no.”

“We can…”

“Do you not want to go?” she asked with a confused frown.

“I would like it, but… I really want to stay in bed with you.” She pouted.

“We can go for lunch and stay there for a bit, come back before sunset and have a quiet night in.” she suggested. “Because… because if I stay here with you in bed all day I won’t resist temptation, and I’m so very sore right now that I can’t deal with that thought.” She said with a playful grimace.

“Oh my gosh, was I too rough?”

“No, not at all… you were perfect.” She said biting her lip. “It had just been a while and we went at it for longer than I planned, if I’m honest.” She blushed. “I wouldn’t change it for the world, though.” She smiled, reaching for Kara’s hand and squeezing it gently.

“I’ll be more careful-”

“Please don’t be.” She shook her head. “Don’t treat me like a delicate piece of china that could break.”

“I wouldn’t-”

“Kara.” She said with a raised eyebrow.

“Okay. I promise.” She rolled her eyes, moving closer to Lena and resting her head on her shoulder.

“Let’s take a shower.” Lena said, kissing the top of her head and moving to leave the bed, chuckling when she felt the dull ache between her legs, a soreness that controlled her whole body. “You’re gonna have to help me and not let me fall.” She smirked, looking over at Kara, who was trying hard not to be too cocky.

She made her way around the bed and gently helped Lena to her feet, holding her close and kissing her gently while she walked them to the shower. She started the water and jumped in surprise when Lena dropped to her knees and kissed her mound, ready to get back to work again.

“That’s cheating.” Kara chuckled, reaching down to spread her folds apart while Lena’s tongue found her clit.

 

Almost an hour later, satisfied and with fresh orgasms still making them shiver whenever they touched, they made their way out of the shower. Lena looked over at Kara and bit her lower lip, feeling so full of love and happy to have her in her life that she couldn’t contain herself and walked over to her, wrapping her arms around her waist and kissing her bare shoulders.

“I’ll text Alex and tell her we can’t make it today… I really don’t want to share you with anyone else today.” She said softly, making Kara smile. “What?”

“I already texted her… we’re meeting for family dinner tomorrow, though.” She smiled and turned around in her arms.

“Oh my, you’re sneaky Miss Danvers.”

“I have some tricks up my sleeve.” She winked. “Now… would you like to get back to bed or-”

“Yes, I would like that very much.” She whispered, pulling her down for a slow kiss, climbing up her body so Kara would carry her back to bed, where they spent the next of the day.
