Fosters Moments

Hold you in my Arms: Ray LaMontagne

Stef hurriedly stripped in the bathroom, leaving her uniform in the hamper. She stands beside the bed eyeing the lump that is the long, lanky body of her wife. Pausing for a deep breath, an acknowledgment that this was her home, her children, Lena was her home and this terrible, no good day was over, she lifts the covers delicately. Lena stirs, her arm reaching over to Stef's side, sleepily. Stef's eyes flutter shut anticipating the first touch of her skin to Lena's, to the soft sheets. It had been a day of chasing after suspects, handcuffing dirt bags and dealing with Mike and all she wants is to crawl into bed and line her body up with her wife's and wrap her arms around the slender woman. Stef picks up the arm snaking towards her and kisses the knuckles, sliding fully under the covers and curling into Lena's side. Lena murmurs a sleepy "hey" into the air and Stef leaves a small kisses all over a sleep mussed face, tucking her nose into a warm neck and letting out the last of her tension on a sigh.

When You Say Nothing At All: Alison Kraus

"We are married." Lena whispers against warm lips.

"That we are," comes back as a breathless murmur as Stef continues the assault on Lena's mouth. She winds arms more fully around Lena as they sink into each other, tongues tangling and hands roaming.

Stef steps back from Lena a bit, anxious to have more of their skin touching and reaches for the zipper to her dress. "If I didn't say it before, this dress is amazing, you looked amazing today." Stef whispers into a delicate neck, pausing to suck on a jumping pulse point.

Lena pauses from working the buttons on Stef's shirt…"well thank you for leaving that extra button undone on this delicious white shirt you chose."

They both laugh, enjoying their closeness and the skin that is slowly showing itself.

Crazy Love: Michael Buble

Lena sits at her desk, her thoughts drift to Stef as she heads back to work.

She thinks back to this morning when they were still in bed after the alarm had gone off. Dimly she had heard Stef shut it off but had kept her eyes closed, breathing and thinking on the day ahead. She had felt a warm hand creep its way across her belly under her sleep shirt. The fingers maddening as they wrapped more fully around her sensitive ribs.

"I know even though you know I have to go and I know you love me, all of me-the cop included…I know today will be hard for me and for you and I just want to remind you how hard I love you and how hard I work to be the best police officer and how hard I work to always come home to you and the kids." Stef murmurs into the sensitive shell of Lena's ear. "I need you to hear that and believe that."

Lena had turned more fully into Stef's arms, holding her face in long fingers, "I love you too."

A knock at Lena's office door broke her out of her reverie to see her administrative assistant holding a small bouquet of peach colored posies. "These were just delivered for you, Lena." She came in and set them down with a wink. Lena's eyes welled as she read the card, "I carry your heart with me. I carry it in my heart." It was signed OAO. Lena discreetly wiped the tears from her eyes and covered her mouth as she giggled, thinking about her One And Only…

Slide: Goo Goo Dolls

Stef feels long fingers slide into her and she can't help the groan that escapes her mouth and her hips rising up to meet the sweaty skin of her lover, her wife. Their skin gliding together along their curves and valleys.

"Oh, God, Lena...that feels so good."

Lena works her mouth along an exposed neck, stopping to lick along a collar bone, suck a pert nipple into a warm mouth, pausing to hum her satisfaction into the underside of a breast.

"Yeah?" She asks breathlessly.

"Oh, yeah." Stef croaks as she rolls her hips faster, aching for the bliss that is just out of her reach. "Please, Lena, please…"

Kiss Me: Ed Sheeran

They sit up in the middle of the bed, wrapped around each. Stef is in Lena's cross-legged lap, with her face pressed into the shoulder of her love, her legs wrapped snugly around a thin waist, running her hands in wide circles on Lena's back. Lena's fingers are drawing small circles along the smooth skin at the small of Stef's back. They are breathing, just trying to breathe each other in.

"Callie will come back to us, right?" Stef murmurs into a collarbone.

She feels Lena nodding along the side of her head. She holds Lena more tightly to her in a firm hug, an affirmation that they are in this together and it will work out. IT has to…it's their family and they love them, they love each other.

Slowly Stef picks up her head to look into the eyes of the mother of her children, into the eyes of her wife, into the eyes of her lover. Lena cocks her head to the side, "What?"

"I couldn't do this with anyone else. It wouldn't work with anyone else but you." Stef says slowly, maintaining eye contact.

Lena leans forward, smiling and kisses her wife full on the mouth, a tender exploration of lips and mouths and tongues that quickly turns into something else as Stef climbs out of her lap and pushes her down on the bed. "And now I am going to show you how much I appreciate that." Stef whispers, tucking curls behind Lena's ear and leaning in to kiss along a jaw, a neck…
