I'm not sure how much inspiration I have left for this story. We'll see where the next couple chapters lead, if y'all have any suggestions let me know.
I know the kiss was a bit rushed last chapter, sorry about that, I think I got too excited and got impatient! Thank you for the likes and follows!
Kara concentrated on her breathing, the slow rise and fall of her chest, afraid to move and risk waking Lena. Every inch of Lena from head to toe was plastered to Kara's side as she slept. Kara couldn't stop grinning. She sat and admired just how gorgeous Lena was as she slept so peacefully. She had stopped herself from staring at Lena countless times always worried about being caught, but now she could freely stare. Soak in her presence and really appreciate how calm she made her feel. There were no psychopaths to worry about, no experiments to monitor, no employees for Lena to worry about, it was just quiet and Lena laying in Kara's bed at her apartment. In this moment, all was perfect in Kara's world. After Alex abruptly brought their first kiss to an end they decided Lena was strong enough, and would be more comfortable at Kara's apartment. Not 5 minutes after they snuggled up in bed Lena had lost to the sandman. I guess not having a heartbeat and technically being dead for almost an hour takes a lot out of you.
They had fallen asleep together watching movies all the time, but this was different. It was like Lena clung to her, like she was the only thing keeping Lena held down, Kara was Lena's gravity. She kept her grounded and safe. Lena had the reverse effect on Kara. Lena gave Kara the same feeling as she had when she was flying, free and invincible, there was no weight on her shoulders when she flew. Lena made her fly.
Kara thought about how she should get some rest because there surely would be a lot they would need to discuss the next day. She was terrified if she closed her eyes she would wake up and this would be a dream.
Kara's phone dinged with Alex's tone from the nightstand. She stealthily reached over and plucked her phone from the charger with as little movement as possible and opened the message while flipping her phone to vibrate.
Sorry about earlier, I can't tell you how happy I am for you and that Lena is safe. Love you both - call me tomorrow.
Kara smiled at the message and set her phone aside. Lena stirred slightly at Karas movement. She closed her eyes and tried not to concentrate on Lena's hand that traveled up her side and rested just below her chest. Her body immediately reacted causing her breathing to hitch and become more labored as heat spread across her ribcage to jump start her heart. Calm down Kara, she thought to herself. Deep breaths, she doesn't even realize what she's doing she's asleep, and she technically died today. I think that's enough "action" for one day.
Lena slowly woke feeling groggy and sore, her body almost felt numb. She cracked one eye open and immediately knew she was in Kara's bed. She couldn't see Kara's face but she could hear the faint sounds of her peaceful snore. She closed her eye again taking a slow deep breath, and memories from the last few days flooded her mind. She pushed the memories of being drugged, kidnapped, and dying to the back of her mind already repressing the feelings that would traumatize any normal person and focused on the memory of kissing Kara. It seemed unreal, like she was imagining things and her mind was playing tricks on her.
She opened her eyes again her body finally starting to come to life. She suddenly became aware of the placement of both Kara's and her own limbs with one of her hands trapped under Kara's body, and Kara's arm was wrapped around her, her hand had a possessive grip on Lena's ass. She was always painfully aware of Kara's strong and defined arms that she ached to run her hands over and feel the smooth ripple of her muscles. Ever since she realized Kara was Supergirl she had the fantasy of being thrown around by the Super, in a good way of course, she imagined Kara just losing control and using her strength to pin her down. Lena was used to being in control of everything around her and liked it that way, but she felt safe with Kara and the thought of submitting to her sent heat through her veins. It was just a fantasy until now and the fact that her fantasy could actually come true brought a new level of excitement on.
Lena opened both eyes now and sent her free hand exploring up Kara's arm across her smooth skin. She stopped on her collarbone for a moment and slowly ran her hand along her neck and tangled her fingers into unruly blonde curls. God she's gorgeous.
A smile spread across Kara's lips as Lena's soft touches woke her "Good morning, beautiful." Kara said in a horse whisper.
Lena moved herself on top of Kara's body and placed a soft kiss on her lips. Lena started to pull away but Kara caught each side of her face and deepened the kiss. Within seconds Kara flipped Lena over and trapped her underneath her body never breaking the kiss. Kara's hair fell around Lena's face tickling her skin, she grabbed Lena's hands with hers and drug them above Lena's head then trapped them both with her left hand. Kara pulled away her face only inches from Lena's, both their breathing was rapid. She ran her right hand along Lena's jawline and down her collarbone then placed a kiss just below Lena's ear on her neck.
Kara's face was flushed and she beamed at Lena "I didn't think it was possible to wake up to something better than fresh donuts but you just proved that theory wrong."
Lena chuckled at the comment "That's really a compliment coming from you. I know how serious you are about your pastries." Lena pressed a light kiss to the tip of Kara's nose.
Kara heard a key enter the lock of her doorknob, only two people had a key to her apartment, and one of them was laying underneath her. Alex. Seriously what is with this timing, she thought.
The door cracked open and Alex spoke through the small space "Is everyone decent?"
They both laughed as Kara sat up and answered "you're good Alex come on in."
Alex came in with her arms full of food. She had a carrier with three coffee cups and a pastry box from their favorite cafe on the corner and despite it being barely past 10:30, she also had several Chinese food containers. "I thought you would both be tired today, and might want to stay in, so I brought food to last you through the day. Even with Kara's appetite." Alex ditched everything on the counter and looked up to see Kara and Lena both looking a little flushed and still sitting on the bed. They looked like a couple of teenagers whose mom walked in on a make out session just before it turned rated R.
Alex decided to make the situation a little more interesting. She grabbed her coffee from the carrier and made her way to the couch before plopping down and turning on the tv. She looked up at Kara and Lena again. Kara gave Alex a look that was meant to intimidate but only caused Alex to chuckle at her little sister. "You guys want to watch a movie or something?" Alex turned her attention back to the tv and put her feet on the coffee table affirming her intention to stay a while.
Lena made the first move rolling with Alex's game, she grabbed her coffee cup from the counter and opened the pastry box realizing how hungry she was. "I'd love to watch a movie. Kara what do you think?"
Kara never took her eyes off Lena as she walked to and stood at the counter. Lena was wearing one of her old T-shirt's and a rather short pair of shorts. She made Kara's old ratty clothes look so good. She couldn't take her eyes off Lena's toned legs. A pillow crashed into the side of Kara's face and brought her back to reality.
"Hey! She isn't a piece of meat." Alex was picking up another pillow to throw when Kara's face went red as a tomato.
Kara covered her face with both hands and fell back onto the bed. "Sorry. I don't know how to act right now. This is kind of new ya know."
Alex and Lena laughed as Kara wallowed in shame. "Well I think my sister can manage to make this uncomfortable enough without my help, so I'll leave you guys to it." Alex walked over to Lena "I'm super glad you're alive." She wrapped an arm around Lena's shoulders and kissed her temple.
Lena warmed as Alex hugged her "I'd put my money on you playing a part in that, even if you wouldn't admit it, so thank you."
Alex shrugged and walked toward the door. "I just do what I'm told." She winked at Lena "Love you Kar, you two have fun today." Alex disappeared behind the door.
"Well I'm really sorry about that entire interaction." Kara sat up and avoided eye contact for a moment. "I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable. I never really let myself look at you before because I didn't want you to notice and feel weird." She paused searching for words and made eye contact again being pulled in by Lena's green gaze. "You're so beautiful, it's hard not to stare."
Lena tilted her head with a huge smile. "You don't make me uncomfortable Kara. I love the way you look at me. Now come over here and eat all these donuts so we can spend some more time in bed."
Kara was not going to argue with that, she jumped out of bed with a smile and headed for the counter "yes ma'am, Miss Luthor."
