The rest of dinner was not nearly as tense both women diverted any touchy subjects wanting to avoid heated discussions. After they had finished the limo promptly returned the pair back to the academy and Cordelia politely excused herself to her room.
The Supreme needed to be by herself in fear of what might happen if she remained alone with The Countess. So she parted ways with the blonde soon after entering the house but the witch should have known it wouldn't be that easy. Not fifteen minutes after entering her bedroom Cordelia heard a knock at the door. Knowing who it was Cordelia crossed her room and opened the door.
"Tell me 'Delia," The Countess walked past Cordelia and entered the room, "why do you seem to be so eager to get away from me?" The Countess turned placing one hand on her hip.
"I don't want to get away from you, Countess," The Supreme lied trying to keep her face neutral.
"I don't believe you," the blonde sat down on Cordelia's bed and placed both hands behind her so she could lean back. "I think you, my dear Supreme, are afraid."
"I'm not afraid of you, Countess," Cordelia took a stronger stance asserting herself.
"You miss understand. I don't think you are afraid of me," she paused, "I think you're afraid of being alone with me." A smile spread on her face, "Tell me I'm wrong."
'Delia glared at the woman,
"You always assume you are right. That is your downfall." The Supreme turned angrily toward the door, "Now, if you will please leave my room." Cordelia turned before she got to the door to find The Countess standing directly behind her,
"Are you sure that's what you want?" The blonde asked as she pushed the younger woman against the door pressing her body against The Supreme. Cordelia closed her eyes at the contact and let out a surprised gasp. The Countess placed her hands on 'Delia's hips running her fingers over them. The Countess watched as The Supreme rocked her core slightly into her and she couldn't help but smile. Knowing she was in control The Countess leaned forward and nuzzled Cordelia's neck inhaling her sent. "You smell good enough to eat," the blonde teased.
Cordelia exposed her neck so The Countess could continue exploring new territory feeling her place soft kisses on her throat and along her cheek bone. To her dismay the blonde stopped before reaching her lips. 'Delia opened her eyes immediately meeting The Countess's gaze which was laced with lust. The blonde leaned forward and grazed her lips over The Supremes not letting Cordelia fully kiss her. A disappointed moan escaped 'Delia's mouth,
"I thought you said you wanted me to leave," The Countess placed her left hand on The Supreme's ass and squeezed gently.
"I… lied," Cordelia whispered wanting to feel more of the beautiful creature's touch on her skin.
"Well then," The Countess nibbled on 'Delia's ear, "it looks like you're going to have to wait a little longer."
Before Cordelia could reply she felt herself get released from the blondes grasp and when she looked up The Countess was no longer there. Cordelia looked around the room but The Countess was gone leaving her breathless against the door.
The next morning Cordelia made her way to the kitchen where she found The Countess sitting at the table holding a cup of coffee and reading the newspaper. Seeing 'Delia enter the blonde put down her paper and watch the young Supreme cross the room,
"Sleep well?" The Countess asked placing a hand on the table.
The Supreme shot her an annoyed look over her shoulder without answering.
"Oh, come now don't be angry. I was just having a little fun," the blonde said with a dramatic flick of her hand.
"Well, it wasn't fun for me," Cordelia said as she reached for a coffee cup on the counter.
"You seemed to have enjoyed yourself," The Countess stated.
"Yes, until you left me there like an idiot," The Supreme shot back while pouring her coffee.
"You were the one who ran away to your room because you couldn't face your feelings. I was just showing you I felt the same. And," The Countess rose, "unlike you I acted upon them, which you never would have."
"I may have," Cordelia said unconvincingly.
"Right," The Countess laughed as she made her way toward The Supreme.
Cordelia held out her hand not letting The Countess in her space,
"I don't think so." The Countess tried to move her hand out of the way to get closer but was pushed back by an invisible force causing her to stumble slightly. Cordelia looked at her smugly showing force, "You forget who you are dealing with."
"Oh, I think not." The Countess was not blind to the power that lay before her, "I know just how powerful you are, my dear." Not wanting to force Cordelia to show her strength the blonde kept her distance. So it was a surprise when Cordelia stepped forward and closed the space between them stopping mere inches from her face.
"Is that so?" The Supreme moved slightly forward almost close enough to kiss. The Countess tilted her head forward in an attempt to capture 'Delia's lips but the young Supreme avoided the movement and moved past her. The blonde let out a frustrated huff. "Now, you know how it feels," Cordelia said with a sly wink.
"It seems we both can play games," The Countess said turning on her heels.
"I think we have both proven that," Cordelia stated sitting down at the table. "So, why don't we stop with the games?" The Supreme looked at her seriously.
Before she could answer five young witches walked into the kitchen stopping in their tracks upon seeing The Countess.
"Hello, little ones," The blonde said pleasantly as she passed by them to sit across from The Supreme. None of the young girls spoke as they cautiously went about making their breakfast. "A little timid aren't they?"
"Just give them time. They'll come around," The Supreme looked at her teasingly, "I did." The Countess just smiled.
