"Shine"

Chapter One

By Darthelwig


*** I own nothing. I'm just having fun.***

I've always wanted to come back to this little universe and continue where I left off. I'm finally making the attempt. Fingers crossed.


Wanda was exhausted, but after a long couple of weeks on mission all she wanted to do was see Carol again. Not being able to speak to her girlfriend for such an extended period of time was painful for both of them, and she needed to see her, to hold her. It was already hard enough that Carol's college schedule kept her busy, she had precious little time for anything other than classes, studying and volleyball, but with Wanda's duties as an Avenger coming between them as well, they hardly saw each other these days. Most of their communication was through phone calls, texting and video chats. It was frustrating, but what else could they do?

Getting into the dorms was child's play. A twist of her fingers could unlock any door, could persuade or distract any person necessary, and she used her power with swift efficiency. She felt a twinge of guilt at using her abilities that way. She'd been trying to be better about that, and the team would be disappointed in her, but all that mattered in the moment was satisfying her need.

She'd been to Carol's dorm room a couple of times before, so she was fairly certain which way she should be going, and she trusted her powers to do the rest, her mind stretching out to seek the comforting pulse of Carol's thoughts.

She knocked on Carol's door, then let herself in, and there was her beautiful lover, asleep in the room's tiny bed. Carol had scored a very small single room, so she had privacy to study when she could fit it in around volleyball practice, a benefit Wanda was glad for. Carol worked hard to keep her scholarship. She deserved to be here. It was everything Carol had always dreamed of, and her girlfriend had blossomed with her newfound freedom. Wanda was extremely proud of her.

She sat gingerly on the edge of the bed and brushed the hair off Carol's face, content to watch her sleep for the moment. The initial desperate urge to be with Carol had passed, satisfied by the very fact of being in her presence, close enough to touch. Even asleep Carol radiated goodness and light, and Wanda let herself enjoy the feeling of simply being with her girlfriend again. A tightness in her chest she hadn't even been fully aware of was loosening with every slow breath Carol took.

She trailed her fingers over Carol's cheek, and Carol pressed her face into the touch, smiling sleepily, eyes still closed but perfectly aware of who was with her.

"Wanda," she murmured. "You're back."

"Shh. Sleep, love." Wanda couldn't help but smile down at her. She loved this girl so much.

"Come to bed." Carol reached for her blindly, still refusing to open her eyes, and Wanda chuckled as she evaded her clutching hands.

"Wait," she said softly. She quickly removed her shoes and jacket and slid under the covers next to her girlfriend, cuddling up close on the tiny mattress. They settled in with Carol's back pressed to Wanda's chest, Wanda's arms wrapped around her in a warm embrace. Wanda sighed happily as Carol relaxed against her, her breathing evening out into sleep once more.

This was exactly what she'd needed. This was everything.


It was still early when Wanda woke with Carol still safely in her arms, a warm presence she basked in like a cat in sunlight. She pressed a soft kiss to Carol's shoulder where her tank top left her skin bare and tempting.

"G'morning," Carol said sleepily as she pulled Wanda's arms tighter around her. Wanda went willingly, allowing herself to be molded around Carol's form.

"Good morning, my love," she said softly, nuzzling Carol's neck and drawing a breathy moan from her. "I have missed you."

"Mmm. I missed you too. How long can you stay?" Carol flipped over, with great difficulty and nearly dislodging Wanda from her place on the bed, to meet her girlfriend's sad gaze.

"Not long. I am supposed to be at the facility right now," Wanda said, smiling ruefully, "but I needed to see you." She slid her hand under the blankets and over Carol's smooth thigh, toying with the hem of her shorts.

"I'm glad you're here now," Carol said. She leaned in to kiss Wanda, and what started out as a sweet, soft meeting of their lips quickly grew heated and desperate in the face of their mutual need. Wanda pressed her girlfriend back against the bed, her knee sliding between Carol's thighs. She could feel Carol's heat even through the fabric of her pants and Carol's tiny shorts, and the sensual way Carol was moving against her was driving all thought from her head except to take what she was so willingly offering.

Wanda had her girlfriend's shirt off, licking and sucking on her soft, full breasts and neck. Wanda's top was gone as well, pants open and pulled down enough for Carol's hand to slide in, her fingers dipping into Wanda's slick folds and making her moan. She rocked against Carol's hand, needy and wanting, her climax building fast and uncontrollable.

She was almost there, just at the peak and listening to Carol's voice in her ear coaxing her, when another voice came from the doorway. It was like a shock of cold water, and she was up and on her feet, ready for battle, before her mind even caught up with what was happening.

"Oh wow. Sorry I interrupted," the girl standing in the doorway said. She didn't seem sorry to Wanda, but she bit her tongue to see how this played out. She didn't want to offend a friend of Carol's and possibly Carol herself. She glanced at her girlfriend, who had modestly covered her nudity, but seemed completely at ease in this girl's presence.

"It's okay," Carol reassured her, and Wanda sighed. So much for that. Didn't look like they'd be getting back to lovemaking anytime soon. She grabbed her shirt off the floor and pulled it on, glad she'd still been wearing her bra and hadn't been completely exposed to this new friend of Carol's. This was already an embarrassing enough first impression to make.

"Hi. I'm Monica," the girl said,

"Wanda."

"I guess you forgot about our breakfast date," Monica said to Carol, and Wanda's eyebrows shot up. Date?

"Shit. I totally forgot. I'm sorry. I was up late, and then Wanda showed up..." Carol smiled sheepishly, and Wanda suddenly didn't know what to do. Her girlfriend was having breakfast dates with someone else? Had she interrupted something?

"I apologize for interrupting your... date plans." She zipped her pants and brushed her fingers through her hair in what she was sure was a vain attempt to look presentable. "I should go."

The new girl, Monica, looked almost smug for the briefest second, but Wanda stamped down her anger. Carol wanted to spend time with this girl. She had every right to spend time with whoever she wished. Wanda had no right to complain, especially not when she'd been so absent from Carol's life lately.

"You don't need to go," Carol said, reaching out for her. Wanda took her hand and gently squeezed.

"You wish me to stay?" she asked, unable to hold back the hint of surprise in her voice, but she stretched her senses out and could feel Carol's desire for her to remain.

"Of course I do," Carol said, sounding needy and vulnerable. It melted the cold that had lodged itself in her heart, and she smiled softly at her girlfriend.

"Okay. We will go have breakfast with Monica. I hope you do not mind," she said to the other girl, not caring if she minded in the slightest. Or maybe she wanted Monica to care and be a little upset. Just a little. She wouldn't admit it, though.

"Not at all! The more the merrier," Monica said, all bright smile and warmth that Wanda didn't believe for a moment.

"Give me five minutes to get dressed," Carol said, and Monica left them alone, finally, closing the door behind her.

"Ten minutes. I wish to finish what we started," Wanda said, her voice nearly a growl. She pulled the sheets aside and hopped back on the bed, easily slipping between Carol's legs.

"You think you can finish us both off in five minutes?" Carol laughed.

"Yes," she said, a touch of red in her eyes, and wasted no time in pulling Carol's shorts down and shoving her knees up against her chest to expose her sweet center to Wanda's hungry gaze. Carol gasped at Wanda's rough handling, blushed as she lay exposed in such a wanton manner. "I am going to feel everything I do to you, my love. I am going to bring us both pleasure."

Carol's breathing had sped up, and Wanda could see how wet she was becoming already. This would take no time at all.

"Come for me, darling," she breathed. The sound of Carol's moan as she sank her tongue into her sex was everything Wanda could've asked for.
