Rose of Sharon - Consumed by Love

Lena walked from her office with Alex in tow and then smiled at her assistant. Lena saw the look in her eyes, and the small lift on the corner of her mouth.

"Jess, I will be leaving for the rest of the day. Thank you for helping this week, I also believe that you and I can use the day off tomorrow after Mr. Olson's rather regular pyrotechnics," Lena smiled as Jess handed her a few notes and then asked for them to be confirmed, but she hung onto one of the envelopes. Jess noted which one she took and immediately ducked her head with as straight a face as she could.

"Certainly, Miss Luthor. That sounds lovely," Jess looked up and then made eye contact with Alex then began typing, "Thank you agent. It was nice seeing you again."

Lena looked between Alex and Jess, and then took Alex's hand in her own and walked to the elevator. Alex looked down at their hands and Lena saw the action in the reflection on the elevator. She saw the furrowed brow and the blinking as the doors closed.

"Are you alright?" Lena asked. Alex nodded then the woman looked at Lena.

"I'm not used to this," Alex said raising their hands indicating the contact. Lena nodded and let go of Alex's hands but Alex reached out to retrieve Lena's hand.

"No," Alex looked down at her boots, and kept glancing at their hands, "I am not used to being touched," Alex said pointedly so as to alleviate Lena's worries, "I like this."

Lena smiled and nodded then changed the subject, "I'm not sure of what you did but you now have the Jess Seal of Approval."

"I don't know what I did either. We heard James yelling. I heard a few words very clearly and I just stepped to the door. I didn't like it," Alex said as she found her words as her heart still hammered in her chest, "Just because your brother and…" Alex stopped abruptly and swallowed. Lena turned to look at her and noticed those bright brown eyes, sudden hid behind a veil of sadness.

"It's ok Alex, I understand," Lena shook Alex's hand trying to make it easier for Alex but the woman shook her head.

"No, you need to hear it more often from someone other than Jess and Kara," Alex turned and her eyes bored right into Lena heart, "You are not a Luthor. You have a name, Lena Luthor, but you are not their Luthor. You are your own, and you shouldn't be held responsible for the actions of other people," Alex lifted her other hand and caressed Lena's cheek as she saw a tear slip form the CEO's eye, "You are so very noble, you are so very good, and sometimes people need to be reminded of that."

Lena let go of Alex's hand as she turned from the woman and tried to hide her tears, and wipe them from her cheeks. Alex stepped further from the woman that has probably never had a positive thing said to her. Then the doors opened. Lena exited into the lobby first and Alex followed. Lena Luthor commanded the attention of every person in that lobby, and Alex was amazed at the attention she received. Lena walked forward and Alex watched as she got in a car. She stood on the sidewalk and put her hands in her skinny jeans pockets and waved a hand.

"Are you getting in?" Lena asked as she popped her head to be seen and heard by the woman. Alex shook herself and scrambled into the car. Alex watched as Lena seemed to relax somewhat, but looked out the window.

"Where are we going?" Alex asked nervous.

"My home," Lena said to the window. Alex blinked and watched the scenery of the city and tried to remember how to get there. She looked over to Lena once or twice and noticed a small wall had gone up between them.

"Did I do something wrong?" Alex asked shakily, not sure why her voice decided to not work for her at that moment. She heard Lena scoff, and then rest her chin on her hand.

"No, you didn't," Lena said stiffly.

"Then why do I feel like I pissed you off?" Alex said as she huffed and sat back in the town car.

"I'm…" Lena should not have turned around. Words left her as she looked into Alex's eyes and saw confusion and hurt. Lena looked out the window again but her shoulders sank, and she felt tired. She heard Alex sigh. The rest of the ride was in silence. Awkward, torturous silence. When they got out of the car at Lena's apartment, she walked to the door but Alex stayed on the sidewalk. Lena turned around.

"I'm gonna go home. Get some rest. It seems like it has been a long day for the both of us," Alex turned to walk away. With each step she took from the woman she was growing fond of her shoulders dropped just a little more. The only person who saw the fierce, strong, independent woman reach out for the retreating agent was concerned father who patrolled when Supergirl was trying to finish up an article.

J'onn at the Alien Bar…

He landed on the top of the building and called Kara and asked if Kara Danvers can return to Supergirl duties. J'onn could not help the swell of pride he felt in his chest when the woman who became his newest earth child, would bubbly return to her duty. Duty was a large part of a Martian's life, and when he saw his earth children, alive, and well, and upholding commitments and promises it made his heart warm. He thanked Supergirl because he had a small emergency to take care of as well. Kara, ever the worry wort badgered J'onn and asked if everything was alright, was anyone hurt, and did he need help. He politely rejected her offer, it was personal matter. Kara, knowing the alien well knew he was being gentle with her.

When he disconnected with Kara, he morphed into Hank Henshaw, and jumped from the roof in an abandoned alley next to the bar. He walked into the establishment that resembled a chrome and neon version of the cantina in that Star Wars movie. He scoped the patrons and zeroed in on Alex, who sat with a pint in her hands at the far side of the bar facing the door. He saw her shoulders droop even more when she saw him

"I didn't think you liked this place," Alex said as J'onn sat next to her. He lifted on finger, and the bartender gave him what looked like a small glass of whiskey 3 fingers full.

"I don't like this place," J'onn looked around, "It isn't the establishment, it's the readings I get. It's difficult being in places where people are not in some control of their own thoughts. Some are lecherous, some are vivid and I internally shudder, but most importantly, I don't like being here because I know what these places to do you," J'onn turned back to Alex and saw her eyes on him as his eyes slipped to her pint. Her hands sat around the cool drink, and he watched her look into the frothy top of the beer. He can now smell the type of drink. He had to be careful with Alex. He saw the Luthor reach out, but he also saw a confused woman walk away and never turn back.

"I will drink this and by the time it is gone, I hope you have talked to me," he said. He took a small sip and winced as he felt the burn slide down his throat.

"I don't like being cooped up," Alex said then looked to J'onn. She saw that was not what he was looking for.

"I don't like being used," Alex said softly. J'onn nodded as he listened to that comment but he stayed silent, and took a sip of his drink.

"I don't like to feel feelings," Alex confided in the man next to her. He took another sip and she noticed that each time she hit closer to the topic of her issue he would take tiny sips from his drink. It was as if it was a meter of sorts.

"Maggie hurt me so much I don't know if I am capable of loving another right now," Alex gritted as that open statement tore at her heart, "But I found myself feeling very intense feelings about another person." J'onn took a gulp and Alex blinked and then thought.

"Lena has a hold on my emotions," Alex said honestly but J'onn took the tiniest sip. Alex reviewed the facts, and tried to walk through her slowly bending shattered heart.

"I got hurt today because I didn't not understand someone else's emotions," Alex said. J'onn looked at Alex and drained the glass.

"The glass is empty Alex. If you wish to stay here it is your life, but the answers you will find will not be found at the bottom of that tankard. You found them just now," J'onn clasped Alex's shoulder as he paid the barkeep a 50$. It was for the drink, the time, and the barkeeper's silence of his abilities. Alex watched J'onn walk out the door, and Alex looked to her drink, then the door, then the barkeep. She reached for her wallet and he stopped her.

"I'll put it on his tab," he offered with an easy smile. Alex thanked him and then hustled after J'onn. She burst out the door, and she looked about but she didn't have to look far as he leaned against the wall of the bar.

"How did you know I would follow you?" Alex asked as she slipped her hands in her pockets.

"I didn't, but I would have been here when you needed me whether that is now or later," J'onn replied. Alex doesn't hug often, but when she does she makes them count, and she went to the man that had become like a father to her and let his arms wrap around her shoulders. They walked for a while until he began to notice Alex limp slightly.

"This is the most I have walked on it," Alex said and J'onn nodded.

"I want to come back to work," she said directly to her boss.

"If you come back to work you will strictly on desk work, and no activity, also I will be watching you like a hawk," J'onn paused, "and one more week on leave. Figure out the Kryptonite solution with Miss Luthor. I am sure your research is impeccable," J'onn stipulated. He watched as her shoulders fell, and her head bowed but she nodded.

"I wish you would have turned around, Alex," J'onn said as they began to walk back to where Alex parked halfway across the city. He would call a cab for them if it got to be too much for Alex's knee.

"I don't understand," Alex's said confused and her brow furrowed.

"When you walked away from her, she reached out for you. It is then that I wish you would have turned around," J'onn paused as if hearing something then Alex saw the comms device in his ear, "If you would have turned around, and seen her face, you would have seen the anguish she felt watching you walk away from her. Deserting her. Abandoning her. As I have said I wish you would have turned around, if you had you would not be talking to me right now, earth daughter. You would be figuring out the labyrinth of Miss Luthor's heart."

Alex blinked as she walked. She could not believe of all the people to save her today it was J'onn. He listened to her, helped her figure things out before she drowned in that pint of ale. She remembered how much she wanted that drink, how the pull to take a sip, one single gulp of that amber liquid. She was happy J'onn came when he did. She wasn't sure if she started she would be able to stop. Alex pulled out her phone.

Alex: Can I please talk to you?

The minutes ticked by. They seemed long and stretched into an infinite torture as they walked together on the sidewalk in the bustling city. Alex heard the beep and rushed to dig her phone from her pocket.

Lena: I don't know. Why do you want to talk to me?

She squeezed her eyes shut and looked to J'onn. He nodded.

"Be honest," he said.

Alex: Because I am confused about what happened. I want to fix things, or at least figure out what I did wrong so I will never repeat it again… You are worth it, and there is nowhere I would rather be than with you right now.

Alex waited and then there was a beep. Alex had her fingers ready for a text. But she narrowed her eyes as one came through she wasn't expecting.

Kara: She left the room, she thinks you don't care, and you abandoned her, and left her, and ditched her. FIX IT!

Alex: HOW?

Kara: Call her you moron! Texting like this is like a break up text. Put a voice to the words damnit. Gotta go.

"J'onn I think I would like to go the park in front of Lena's building and sit down. I have a feeling this is going to be a difficult and my knee is beginning to kill me."

"Would you like me to go with you? Make sure you get in the building or to your car safely?" asked J'onn nodding with a small lift the side of his mouth. Alex thought about it and then sighed.

"No, but if you could patrol and tell Kara where I am it might keep things safer," Alex decided and J'onn nodded then hugged Alex. She took the strength of his arms and applied it to the strength of her resolve. He went down and alley as Alex pushed a button on her phone. She walked and listened to her heart pound, and the sound of the call going through.

"Hello."

Alex almost jumped at Lena's voice as it came through the phone. She was then rendered speechless. Oh shit! Oh no oh no, speak damnit!

"Alex, if you called just to not talk I'm hanging up," Lena sounded tired.

"No... please, when I heard your voice my mind forgot how to speak," Alex internally groaned. Nice going moron. Idiot she thought to herself.

"Alex, I am tired," Lena said softly and Alex could hear the way she worked her throat to keep her tears at bay.

"You pulled away from me this afternoon because you don't know how to accept what I said, didn't you?" Alex asked softly. There was a small argumentative sound on the phone but a few seconds passed and sounded like the phone was rubbing against something as if she was fighting for the phone. So alex continued to talk as she walked to the park.

"I have a hard time taking complements. I sometimes feel like I don't deserve them. Just do what you are supposed to. I don't need someone to tell me I am doing something I should be doing, and when someone does praise me," Alex listened, she could hear breathing.

"It makes someplace deep down fill up so fast that sometimes it's hard to control my emotions especially if it's someone I care about telling me those things. I would shut down, not talk, or ignore people who do that too. I wish I understood that before I walked away from you this afternoon. I didn't want you to feel pressured, or pushed to be with me," Alex paused checking and hearing.

"You never have to feel like you have to talk to me, or spend time with me or even get to know me. So I made a decision for the both of us to give you space you probably would not have wanted. I apologize for making that choice for both of us," Alex once more paused but knew Lena was still there.

"Lena… I…can a person love another person after as little time as we have spent together?" Alex whispered into the phone. She listened to the breathing on the other side of the phone hitch and hiccup and sniffle as she sat in front of the building that held the woman she thought she admitted she loves. There was a click, and Alex lowered her hand and looked at the phone. She sat there blinking and then held her head in her hands.

What was I supposed to think? Of course she hung up. You just admitted you loved her of course she freaked out. But it was the truth.

Alex felt the wind behind her pick up then a body sit on a bench with her in the park. Alex looked up and wondered what floor was Lena's. Kara reached over and held a paper flower in front of Alex. Alex looked back to Kara and the smile on Kara's face gave her hope. She looked to the flower. It was a rose white and Alex opened it and looking to the flower and her brow creased. There was nothing more than a question mark. She looked at Kara.

"What does a white rose mean?" asked the hero softly.

"I am worthy of you, purity, virginity…" Alex looked at the question mark.

"Now the first one, but ask it as a question," Kara guided.

"Am I worthy of you?" asked Alex and then Kara sat back and watched Alex connect the dots, then Kara gave her one more flower, small, made from a post it note. Another rose.

"There is nothing written inside," Kara guided playing cupid. Alex took the pink post it the size of a small rose bud and held it to her chest. She felt the tears gathering, and then arms came around her shoulders. Alex stood and looked down at her sister. Blue met brown.

"Alex when she called me, she was broken hearted. Please be gentle with her heart. I love that woman by Rao but I believe you are better for her than I ever could be, and I believe she is beginning to feel the same way about you," Kara said as she cocked her head to the side and then kissed her sister on the cheek and then walked to the side of the building as sirens came close to the area, then zoomed by, with Supergirl in hot pursuit.

Alex walked up to the building and opened the door. She held her paper flowers in her hand as she walked to the desk. The man lifted an eye brow.

"I am Alex Danvers here to see…" Alex was cut off as the man hit a button on a screen, and then pointed to the door. There was a strange look as if to say we do not need to know, we already know. It was creepy, but Alex went to the elevator and watched the number. The numbers stopped, but the car kept moving, and Alex put her hand to the wall hoping there was not a malfunction then the elevator slowed and then the doors opened. Alex walked into the small corridor, and walked up to the door.

She knew Lena knew she was there. She knew this was going to be hard. Even with those thoughts before her she lifted her hand. The door opened but Alex didn't see host of the room. She looked around, and walked in and closed the door. She looked for locks, but there were none. She walked into the room and looked around and took in everything from the warm colors, to the smell of Lena's perfume in the air. Then Lena stepped from around the corner, with 4 bottles of water. Alex looked at her confused. Lena went to the kitchen table and put two bottles in front of her, and two bottle in front of Alex. She took a huge breath then looked at Alex. Lena put the dart gun on the table. Alex licked her lips.

"I remember the first night we got to know each other we used this little device," Lena opened the magazine and took out 2 darts and put them on the table. "I will not make you do this, but I have a hard time talking, telling the whole truth, and being honest not with you but myself…" Lena was stopped by Alex lunging forward and capturing her lips. Lena's hands came up to Alex's face as lips furiously devoured her own. Alex pulled her completely too her flush against her body. Alex broke their kiss and kissed down to Lena's shoulder and rest her mouth there. Not moving, not initiating, just holding Lena tightly as if she were to let go her would vanish.

"You are so extreme," Alex whispered, "I told you, Love, if you don't want to talk to me, or tell me what's bothering you, it's ok. I just hope you do someday. Everything does not have to be learned right now," Alex said and she squeezed Lena to her.

"I want to tell you everything," Lena leaned back and looked into Alex's honest brown eyes, "But I don't know how. I don't know how to feel, or express emotion. I just don't want to push you away, or hurt you, or lose you because of it," Lena confessed to Alex.

Alex nodded as she leaned forward and took Lena's lips with her own. "I am showing you how I feel right now. What am I trying to say?" Alex asked as she ghosted another kiss over Lean's lips, her cheeks, eyes lids, forehead, and then a painfully gentle kiss on her kips. Lena's hands came to Alex's on her cheeks. She opened her eyes and what she saw made her legs gave just a little but she caught herself.

"Please," begged Lena as she pulled Alex to her, and fell deeper into Alex's embrace, "Please be real," Lena begged the universe.

Alex pulled them from the table, from the dart gun, from the truth serum. She pulled them to the middle of the room away from everything that could ruin this moment. It would be theirs, not a potion that tells the truth, or the issues of abandonment that they both have, or disbelief that another person could love either of them.

Alex stepped away from Lena just far enough to create space. Alex lifted Lena's hand to her chest where her heart is pounding like a jackhammer.

"Touch me," Alex whispered, "Make me real for you."

Lena stood there with her brunette hair down about loose about her shoulders and down her back, her pale pink lips opened as her emerald eyes unlocked at the access Alex gave her. Not more than a few hours ago Alex confided in her issues with touch, and now here was Alex, proving to Lena she would go further for her, let go for her.

Lena lifted a hand to her once ruby lips as she looked at the hand on Alex's chest. She could feel it beat beneath her palm. Her eyes misted over and she sucked in a shaky breath as her finger tips slip up to Alex's neck. She found Alex's pulse and swallowed as her throat constricted as tears threated to take over. She looked up into Alex's eyes and unshed tears rested on her lower eye lid waiting for gravity to allow their journey to continue.

"Why are you crying?" Lena asked catching a tear with her fingertip. Alex closed her eyes and many more fell but they didn't look like tears of agony or unhappiness.

"Because of the way you are looking at me," Alex chocked when she felt her own tears rushing forth threatening to overpower her control.

"How am I looking at you?" Lena quietly asked afraid to speak louder than the pounding of her own heart in her ears or the voice that came from the woman before her. Alex took Lena's hand and kissed the palm. Lena almost swooned.

"You are looking at me like you love me," Alex answered as she let go of Lena's hand letting her reach out, letting her make a choice, letting her make up her own mind as to how she feels. Lena's hand never let go of Alex's as she nodded.

"I have never had anyone look at me the way you are looking at me right now," Lena confessed.

"I have never felt this before," Alex replied.

Lena and Alex looked at the other, the air around them grew thick and charged. With a mind of her own Lena's feet began to back into a doorway, she never let go of Alex's hand. She watched Alex's eyes and they never left her. They were so intense, so focused as if she was the only living breathing person on earth.

Lena and Alex stood as the foot Lena's bed, and Alex didn't care. She wanted to get lost in her eyes forever. She wished to drown in the forest of those orbs and never find her way back to civilization.

"May I touch you?" asked Alex as if she were about to touch the face of a god and needed to be granted permission to such a holy act.

"Please," Lena said as she gave Alex freedom to do as she wished.

"Please tell me if you wish to stop, or I hurt you," Alex said never looking from Lena's eyes.

"Alex, if you don't touch me now, I will positively combust," Lena said with a nervous smile. Alex mirrored her smile but in that moment Alex's demeanor shifted into the laser like focus of a woman on a mission.

Alex began on her shoulder and she slowly slid her right hand down Lena's left shoulder, bicep, then to her fingers. Then she did the same to the right side. Her hands slid from fingertips to hips and her hands flattened on the outside of her hips. Then Alex slowly slid her hands up Lena's abdomen, under her shirt. Slowly, inching. If it were not for the look in Alex's eyes Lena would have thought the woman was teasing her, but it was the opposite. It was as if each touch to Lena effected Alex, made Alex desire flood to the forefront, and made her want Lena all the more. Lena shut her mouth and decided to hang on for the ride.

Alex's hands stopped right below the swell of her breast. Her thumbs stroked the plane where her flesh began to slope up into mounds. Alex pulled her to her body, chest to chest but Alex's hands still on her torso. Alex looked into her with a softened gaze.

"I love you," Alex affirmed, and smiled softly. Lena opened her mouth to answer but the words got stuck right there.

"Say it again, please," Lena asked swallowing the lump in her throat. Alex smiled greater, warmer as she obliged.

"Lena Luthor, whose middle name I will figure out later…"

"Kieran…" Lena spoke before she thought and smiled at Alex's grin.

"Lena Kieran Luthor, I am in love with you," Alex leaned forward look Lena's lips in a light kiss, "I love you. I don't know how, I don't know when, but I do."

Lena swallowed and felt her heart explode, and then the pounding crashed into her ears like waves upon the shore, but when she looked into Alex's eyes, and saw the look of adoration, of love, and of absolute trust, she knew she would be lying if she said she didn't love this woman.

"I love you too," Lena whispered but before she would get a chance to process her confession lips slammed into hers. Lena's body went on automatic. She stripped Alex of her jacket, and shirt before Alex could get her own shirt over her head. Both stopped once more flesh was brought to light. Lena looked down at Alex's torso and saw the discoloration, the bruising, and the way she didn't fully bend over. She saw the grimace as she tried to stand comfortably. She saw the black bra that housed round breasts, pert and perfect. Lena reached out and ran her fingertips over the edge of the fabric, and then around the back. Alex's eyes popped when the bra came undone.

"Magic," Alex whispered as she let the bra fall from her chest and Lena swept straps down her arms. Lena's cheeky smile grew when she saw Alex's blown eyes. Lena pushed Alex onto the bed but knelt down before her and reached out for the calf and lifted the booted foot and popped it off and then did the same for the other foot. Then socks where gone. Lena then nudged Alex's legs apart and placed kisses on Alex collar bone as she flipped open the button of Alex's skinny jeans.

"Wait," Alex said as Lena began to unzip her pants. Lena pulled back afraid she did something wrong. Alex smiled and shook her head.

"I have some bruising on my ribs, hip, and knee. I just want get out of these things without too much pain," Alex said then stripped off the material. She looked up at Lena and saw her eye line. The bruising was a lot worse once clothes came off. Alex pulled the brunette to her.

"We don't have to do this," Alex offered as she pulled Lena to her and held her.

"Shouldn't I be offering you the out, you are the battered one right now," chuckled Lena.

"Lena, I want you, all of you," Alex was about to say more but her lips where caught. Lena lowered Alex oh so slowly to the bed. She stood before the woman and stripped her pants off as well and heard Alex's of intake breath. She hated underwear, and when those bottoms came off so did the rest of her attire. She reached down to Alex's black panties and Alex lifted her hips the best she could and in one hooked finger around fabric and a yank, both women were bare to the other.

Alex looked up at Lena and saw hunger. It was the type of hunger that could only be sated by taste, and taste alone. Both women slipped up the bed, and Lena stretched out beside Alex and kissed her lips, then her neck. She opened her eyes and watched Alex as she slid her tongue up from her navel to the valley between her breasts. Lena bit and nipped over to a deep pink nipple and sucked hard. The gasp and moan from Alex was like music to hear ears. She lifted her body and slid her thigh in between Alex's and pressed her thigh tightly to her hot wet core. Lena let out a moan as she felt Alex's wetness coat her. She rocked with Alex, and the woman beneath her closed her eyes tightly, caught in the throes of passion. Then she slowly slid her body down Alex. It was when everything stopped that Alex opened her eyes. Then she slammed her head back into the pillow with a loud guttural moan.

She never felt Lena lift her legs onto her shoulders. She never felt Lena kiss her thigh, and never felt the woman shift when she plunged into Alex, feasting. Alex clutched at the covers, and fisted the pillows. She could feel her back arch, and her ribs protest the movement but screw her ribs. She was in ecstasy. Her hand went to Lena's head between her legs, and Lena caught her hand and grasped it. She pulled on her hand. Alex looked down to the woman who was drinking in her wetness as if it where the nectar of life.

"I want to see you, I want to see your eyes as you come for me," Lena's said. The pitch of Lena's voice, riddled with desire dropped in timber, and Alex almost came there and then. All Alex could do was nod and try to keep her eyes open. Lena licked up to a batch of bundled nerves and slid into Alex two fingers. Alex hissed and grit her teeth as and then found Lena's rhythm. Lena began to thrust into Alex, speed increasing, and the sounds that came from Alex where sounds Alex had never heard before, they were high, whines, and pleas of more. Lena finally sucked on her, hard, and then thrust in the woman under her, and Alex, screamed, she felt her body leave the bed at the intensity of her orgasm, and when she came down.

Lena was there kissing her shoulder, but the woman was not finished. She kissed Alex lightly then slipped right back into her. Alex gasped and then quivered as her walls clutched at Lena, already ready for a release. Lena lifted her body and placed her thigh right behind her hand and then rocked into Alex. Alex reached up and kissed lips given to her freely and then clutched Lena Luthor in an embrace, raking her nails down her back as she ground out another orgasm and then as she let go of Lena the brunette curled her fingers and brought one more surprise for Alex, shallower as it may be, but just as intense.

Alex looked at Lena and saw the smirk and Alex flipped them, she grit when her ribs protest, but she wanted to worship this woman and she did. But she was so painfully starved for the very feast that Lena just ate from her and licked her way down Lena's body. She was small, lithe even and it was like worshiping the body of an elven princess. Her breasts, though smaller than Alex's, were perfect, round, and full for her body.

Alex wasted no time as she inhaled Lena's desire, and then looked up at into a scorching gaze. Lena watched as Alex kissed up her thigh and then kissed up the other. She bit her lip and tried not to grind into Alex, but Alex could see that battle with desire was quickly loosing. Eyes locked, Alex dove into her lover. Her tongue pronged as deep as it could and Lena gasped out and her hand went to Alex's head. She begged for more, she wanted her deeper, she pleaded for release, but Alex smiled as she swirled her tongue over Lena's clitoris. The smaller woman brought both Alex and herself off the bed as her hips thrust up as she climaxed. Alex smiled and then removed her tongue but slipped in to the knuckle as she thrust into Lena, even hard, strokes. Lena pulled the woman up her body not releasing her fingers and clutched at her, held her to her skin and wrapped her legs around Alex as Alex rocked and thrust into Lena. Lena pulled Alex down onto her as she came. Alex wanted to pull more screams of ecstasy from her body just as the woman below her did, but she saw Lena's face. She swept tears from her lover's cheeks. She kissed eyes lids, and whispered cooing sounds in Lena's ear as she held the woman.

"I am sorry Lena," Alex held the woman, afraid oh so afraid she hurt her. Lena finally turned in Alex's embrace, and kissed her, completely, wholly, and deeply.

"I love you Alex Danvers," Lena said as she let tears slip from her eyes. "I have never been made love to before and it is nearly as beautiful as you are," Lena confessed to her lover.

Alex kissed Lena gently, slowly, sharing her love for her in a simple brush and pull of their lips. Alex had never been made love to like that either, not with that sort of intensity, and not with that much emotion. She never burst from her climax as if she was blown from a cannon. She had never screamed out in pleasure as if she were a woman driven mad from the sheer power of her release. Lena looked at her. She looked into her, and saw Alex. Not the DEO agent, not the badass, not Danvers, but Alex.

"Thank you for loving me, Alex," Lena said placing a hand on Alex's cheek and then stoked her jaw.

"Thank you for seeing into me and finding me. I mean it Lena," Alex emphasized with a kiss.

"You mean what?" Lena asked snuggling into Alex's space.

"You are my hero," Alex smiled to the woman.

"Why? Why do you keep saying that?" Lena couldn't keep her emotions at bay.

"Because you are, and not many people realize how truly wonderful you are let alone tell you," Alex told the woman beside her. All Lena could do was bury her face into Alex's neck making Alex shift to her back digging the blankets out from under them encasing them in a cocoon of warmth and love.
