Escaping the military compound had taken its toll on Sarah. Helena had left her, not just left-abandoned- her when she was just trying to help. She couldn't blame her though, it was in her nature and Sarah had left her before. Why would Helena trust her after that?
A knock on Felix's door startles her out of her thoughts. "Sarah?" It's Delphine. She nearly forgot, Delphine was supposed to do a checkup today. Felix had left earlier to give them privacy. She didn't like talking about what they did to her in there. She gets up slowly and opens the door. Delphine looks different. No power suit, just regular clothes. Her hair was even a little wavy.
"Come in, make yourself comfortable." She gestures to the couch. Delphine takes a seat. Sarah grabs some bourbon and two glasses. She pours some for her and Delphine. They each take a drink.
"How are you feeling?" Delphine asks when Sarah takes a seat next to her.
She takes another drink. "Like shit." She replies. Delphine gives her a worried look and she clarifies. "I've got a headache." She takes another drink. "They tortured me." She hadn't told Felix that part.
Delphine gives her a look filled with disgust and concern. Then the doctor in her kicks in. "How did they torture you?"
Another drink. "They drugged me. I saw my daughter. I saw Beth at that train station before she-" Her lips quiver. She lived it again, re-watching her sister die. They both take another drink.
"I would like to take a blood sample to see what they gave you, if that's okay." Delphine said. "I will give it to Scott and Cosima." Sarah simply nods.
Delphine pulls out her medical kit. Sarah takes off her leather jacket. Delphine pulls out a syringe. "Hold out your arm." Delphine ties off Sarah's arm and then cleans the area. "Are you ready?" Sarah nods and looks away. Delphine injects the needle quickly and draws Sarah's blood. It wasn't long ago that she and Cosima were in a similar position. "How is Cosima?" She asks, the question bursting out before she could stop it.
The question surprises Sarah and she turns to look back at Delphine. "She's okay. The gene therapy seems to be working."
"That's not what I meant." Delphine is done drawing the blood and removes the syringe from Sarah's arm and releases the tie from her arm.
"She's seeing someone. Her name is Shay." Delphine swallows. "I'm sorry. I know you were just trying to help when you broke it off with her." Another drink for both of them. "Look, sometimes when we try to help people, we're the ones who get hurt. Even when we had their best intention in mind." She sees the look on Helena's face when her sister left her. She feels Delphine squeeze her hand. When had she grabbed Delphine's hand? She wonders as she looks down at their intertwined hands. Delphine follows her gaze.
"Is she happy?" Delphine asks softly.
"Yes." Sarah replies. They were slowly moving closer to each other.
Their eyes met. Delphine bit her lip and Sarah watched. "I should put a band aid on that." She gestures to the small amount of blood coming from the syringe mark. She pulls away from Sarah and tries to create distance. She finds a band aid and gently places it on her arm. Her hand lingers on Sarah's arm, rubbing her thumb gently across the band aid. She bites her lip again. Her hand moves up Sarah's arm and cups her cheek. "You look like her." She traces Sarah lips with her thumb.
Sarah swallows. "What are we doing, Delphine?" She asks quietly.
Delphine pulls her hand away, as if just realizing what she was doing. "Do you want me to stop?"
She takes a moment to pause. Looking from Delphine's eyes to her lips and back to her eyes. "No."
Delphine leans in slowly, giving Sarah a chance to change her mind, but she doesn't. Their lips meet softly. She tastes like Cosima, Delphine thinks when she pulls back, her eyes asking Sarah if she's sure. Sarah nods again and Delphine cups her face leaning in for another kiss.
Their kisses are soft and exploratory at first, each woman getting to know each other. Sarah doesn't hesitate to open her mouth when she feels Delphine's tongue trace her bottom lip. The atmosphere changes when their tongues meet in an intricate dance. Their kisses become more frenzied and deeper. They part for air but not before Delphine bites Sarah's lip. They stare at each other, panting. Sarah looks at the bed. Delphine takes that as an invitation, pulling Sarah up from the couch.
They stand together, their height difference very apparent now. Delphine kisses her again and gently moves her hands up Sarah's shirt and scratches her stomach. Sarah groans and Delphine discards the shorter woman's shirt and bra in a practiced move. Then she removes her own shirt and bra and is kissing Sarah again, her hands cupping her breasts. She realizes that Cosima's were bigger. She laughs.
"What's so funny?" Sarah asks her.
"Cosima's breasts are bigger." Delphine says, cupping each breast in her hand.
"What, don't like mine?" Sarah teases her.
"I never said that." She squeezes them and leans down to kiss the top of a breast. Then she kisses her way up Sarah's chest. She stops at her clavicle and bites down gently. Then she moves her lips up Sarah's neck achingly slow. She sucks at her pulse point, making Sarah's knees go weak. She licks behind Sarah's earlobe before taking the lobe into her mouth and biting down.
Sarah's knees wobble and she holds on to Delphine's hips so she doesn't fall over. Delphine laughs and lifts her up. Sarah wraps her legs around Delphine's waist. Her arms wrap around Delphine's neck as she leans in for another kiss. Delphine walks them blindly towards the bed, their lips never parting.
Delphine drops her gently on the bed once they finally reach it. Sarah lays on the bed watching Delphine as the French woman takes off her pants. Sarah licks her lips when Delphine takes off her underwear. She tries to sit up and reach for Delphine, but the blonde woman pushes her back on the bed. Then she reaches for Sarah's pants and takes off the last remaining bits of the smaller woman's clothes in one swift move.
Sarah scoots back towards the pillows and Delphine takes her time crawling up her body. Her hands move up Sarah's legs, reaching her thighs, gently massaging them. Then she replaces her hands with her lips, kissing Sarah's thighs and gently nipping them on her way up. "Delphine-" Sarah groans her name. She sucks at the inside of Sarah's thigh, just inches away from her center. She places small kisses on Sarah's inner thigh until she reaches Sarah's sex. She flattens her tongue against Sarah's sex and Sarah involuntarily grabs her head and thrusts her hips in her face. Then Delphine is moving up her body, kissing across her taut stomach. She reaches Sarah's breasts and kisses each of them gently and licks them slowly before taking a nipple into her mouth. Sarah arches into her, groaning and digging her nails into Delphine's skull when the French woman bites down.
She moves her thigh between Sarah's legs to relieve some of the pressure. Sarah immediately grinds into her. Delphine's lips move up again, going to Sarah's neck to suck gently until a red mark is visible on her neck. "Delphine, please." Sarah's voice is strained from arousal. Delphine kisses the mark on her neck and then kisses her cheek, to show she understands. She rests her forehead against Sarah's as she moves her hand between their bodies, reaching for Sarah's sex.
She gently runs her fingers through the wetness. "So wet," she mumbles. Sarah moans and closes her eyes at the feeling of Delphine's fingers moving in gentle circles around her clit before Delphine presses down hard, making Sarah cry out loudly.
Sarah wraps her arms around Delphine's head pulling her in for a kiss. "Please." She begs again. Delphine finally obliges her and slowly slips a finger into her, thrusting into her, letting her get used to the sensation before pushing another finger into her. Sarah breaks the kiss to breath and Delphine latches onto her neck, biting hard and then soothing the bite with her tongue.
Delphine's thrusts grow faster and Sarah's nails dig into the blonde woman's back. Delphine's arousal grows with each thrust, so she straddles one of Sarah's thighs and grinds into her. They both groan at the added sensation. They move together in rhythm as they both near climax. Sarah's wall begin to tighten around Delphine's fingers. Sarah beings to moan continuously as Delphine curls her fingers into her. Just as Sarah climaxes, Delphine presses down hard on Sarah's clit. Sarah tries to scream but no sound comes out and her vision goes dark. Sarah going over the edge is enough to push Delphine over and then she is coming too.
Delphine relaxes her weight on top of her and gently removes her fingers from inside of her. "Are you okay?"
Sarah takes a minute to catch her breath. "Yeah, god yes." She moves her hands up and down Delphine's back. "So that's what it's like to be with a woman. I've been missing out."
Delphine laughs. "To be fair, you and Cosima aren't so different and I knew her very well." She rolls off of Sarah and lays on her back next to her. She reaches for Sarah's hand.
"You still love her, don't you?" Sarah asks.
"Oui." She says after a moment. She and Sarah look at each other.
"God, what a mess this is. You love Cosima, I love Cal." She stops suddenly, realizing that's the first time she's said it out loud.
"No one has to know," Delphine offers "We can just-"
Suddenly the door to the flat opens. It wasn't locked. "Sarah are you here, Felix said that-" It's Cosima.
"Holy shit!"
"Shite!"
"Merde!"
