There was a stillness when Elsa watched Anna like this. The redhead had fallen asleep, curled up against Elsa's side, her head nestled against the blonde's shoulder. Her breathing was even and there was a small smile on her lips as she slept. Elsa's eyes roved over the younger girl's features, taking in the dusting of freckles across her nose and cheeks, the way her pale lips curved upward in that adorable grin, and the way her eyes twitched beneath their lids.
Elsa let out a content sigh as she combed her fingers through the strawberry blond hair. She knew she should leave, but she was hesitant to leave the comfort of the small woman beside her. She felt so at peace when Anna was near. Her inner turmoil didn't rear its ugly head when she was in the woman's presence. Her thoughts took her back to when she and Anna first met.
OVER TWO YEARS AGO
Elsa had never favored going to the clubs in the city. They were loud, dark, and filled with too many people. She never liked socializing, but Olaf had insisted it was important for her to show her face, and he promised she didn't have to linger longer than a couple of hours. Sure, she owned the place, but it wasn't Elsa's scene. She would be content staying at home, her nose buried in a good book, instead of fighting the headache that pounded along with the strong bass line of the music pulsating through the speakers.
She had taken to staying in the VIP area, not venturing farther than the ropes that sectioned her off from the patrons of the club. She would occasionally comment on the conversations that surrounded her, never saying more than a few words to express her opinion. She let her gaze fall to the people on the dance floor, watching the surging mass swaying to the rhythm of the music. A flash of red caught her eye. She couldn't see that well through the crowd, but the vibrant color had caught her attention.
As if fate had something to do with it, the crowd parted, allowing Elsa a better view of the figure that had caught her attention. Her breath caught at the sight of the young woman. She couldn't place what it was that drew her attention to the woman. It could be her strawberry blond hair, the way her smile seemed to light the dark club, or it could be the outfit she wore. Elsa's eyes roamed over the girl's figure. She wore heels (which Elsa thought impractical for dancing the night away at a club), a black skirt that was a breath away from revealing a very private area every time she twirled, and a deep green tank top that hugged her frame. The redhead seemed to be lost in the beat of the song, swaying her hips in perfect synchronization with the beat.
The song ended and Elsa saw the girl speak to the person next to her and point toward the bar. Her eyes followed the girl's movement through the crowd of people. She wasn't sure what possessed her, but Elsa rose from her seat, she ignored the call of her name from those that kept her company in the VIP, and made her way over to where the girl was standing at the bar. The redhead was desperately trying to get the bartender's attention and failing.
Elsa took the opportunity and leaned in to speak against the girl's ear. "What are you having?"
The girl squeaked and whipped her head around to meet Elsa's eyes. Shock slowly turned to calm, which turned to interest. Elsa watched as the girl before her scanned Elsa's body, a shy smile on her lips, and a blush colored her cheeks when her eyes met Elsa's again. Elsa gave a lopsided grin and quirked her eyebrow, enjoying the way the girl's blush deepened.
"Oh, um, I was just trying to get a vodka red bull," the younger woman shouted over the music.
"Allow me," Elsa flashed a polite smile. She turned to the closest bartender and yelled, "Paul!" the man in question turned, his eyes widening at the sight of Elsa. "Two vodka red bulls."
They were handed their drinks and Elsa waved off the bartender when he asked if there was anything else she needed.
"You know the bartenders, huh?" the redhead teased. "You must come here a lot."
"I try to know everyone that works for me," Elsa shrugged, taking a sip of her drink. She leaned in to speak in the girl's ear, "I'd much rather know your name."
"I- I'm Anna," the girl's eyes widened. "Wait, you said he works for you?"
"I did," Elsa nodded.
"So, so you own this place?"
"I do."
"Wow," Anna's eyes traveled along the length of Elsa's frame. "Guess I shouldn't be surprised. You definitely look the part." She bit the corner of her bottom lip and pushed a stray lock of hair behind her ear.
"Is that a nice way of saying I look stuffy?" Elsa laughed.
"Not at all," Anna looked around them before she leaned in closer to Elsa. "Is there anywhere we could talk, um, privately?"
Elsa's eyes widened, her eyebrows shot up, and her head snapped to lock eyes with the redhead. She saw something in Anna's eyes that lit a fire within her. She gave a brief nod, taking Anna's hand in her own, and led the young woman to the set of stairs that led to the second floor. She pulled a key card from the inside pocket of her jacket and swiped in the panel next to the door in front of her. The light on the panel turned green and Elsa hurriedly open the door, pulling the young woman with her.
Elsa moved to walk farther into her office when she was met with resistance. She glanced back at Anna, seeing the playful gleam in her eyes and the shameless grin on her lips. Anna pulled on Elsa's hand, pressed her body against Elsa's, and tilted her head up to capture the blonde's lips. Elsa groaned at the feel of Anna's lips against hers and at the delicious sensation of the woman's body pressed against her own. She felt Anna's tongue swipe along her bottom lip. Elsa responded by gripping the woman's hips, moving her back until the woman's back was against the door they had just walked through, effectively pinning the redhead between the solid door and Elsa.
Anna's arms wrapped around Elsa's neck, threading her fingers into the blond locks, and lightly scraped her nails against Elsa's scalp. Elsa slipped her tongue past Anna's lips, running the tip along her pallet, causing the younger woman to moan. The grip on Elsa's hair tightened when Elsa slid her leg between Anna's, pressing it against her core. The redhead tore away from the kiss, her head leaning back against the door, and thrust herself against Elsa's thigh. The blond latched onto Anna's exposed neck, flicking her tongue against the pulse pounding in Anna's throat. She kissed her way down to the juncture of Anna's neck and shoulder, taking some of the freckled flesh between her teeth, and biting down gently. That had caused the younger woman to gasp and thrust a bit harder against Elsa's leg. A small whimper escaped her lips when Elsa retracted the leg.
"Someone's sensitive," Elsa grinned against her neck.
"Can you blame me?" Anna panted. Her eyes were hooded when they met Elsa's. "Do you even know how sexy you are?" Her hands ran down to Elsa's chest, palming her breasts through the fabric, and gave a slight squeeze.
Elsa's eyes fluttered closed as a low groan tore from her throat. "You're one to talk."
She stepped back, putting some distance between them, and nearly laughed at the confused/frustrated look the woman gave her. She reached a hand out to Anna, leading them over to her desk when the woman took the offered hand. She spun Anna around, placing her hands on the back of the woman's thighs, and lifted her onto the desk. Anna gave a soft yelp at the dominate display, only to have it turn into a moan as Elsa situated her hips between her legs, and began peppering her neck with kisses. Anna's hands slid over Elsa's chest, to her shoulders under her jacket, slipping it off the blond.
Elsa's hands slowly made their way up Anna's thighs, feeling a shudder come from the woman. The closer her hands got to Anna's center, the faster the woman's breathing got. She moved her hands to the woman's hips, hooking her fingers beneath the hem of Anna's undergarment, and began pulling them down. Anna planted her hands on the desk, lifting her hips to assist in the process. Elsa took a step back to draw them down Anna's legs then returned to her previous position. Her hands went to the bottom of the woman's tank top, slithering them beneath the fabric, and pulling it up to expose the creamy expanse of the redhead's abdomen.
Elsa licked her lips unconsciously. Anna removed her shirt and tossed it to the side, revealing her black bra. Elsa couldn't resist dragging her tongue across the taught stomach before her, eliciting a small mewl from the woman beneath her. Fingers once again found their way into Elsa's hair as she placed a kiss on each breast, her hands going behind the woman's back to unfasten the offending object that lay in her path to the fleshy globes. When the article had been removed, Elsa wasted no time in exploring the newly revealed skin. Her mouth latched to a hardened nipple, her tongue flicking over the bud, while her hands kneaded the soft skin.
Elsa ghosted her fingertips over the inside of the woman's thighs, and drew them closer to her center. She could feel the redhead's breathing quicken in anticipation. Elsa smiled against her skin as she ran her fingers over the woman's lips, feeling the wetness that coated them. She dipped a finger into the slick slit and both women moaned at the feeling. The blond brought her lips to the woman's ear while her fingers circled her entrance.
"Are you ready?" she playfully nipped the shell of Anna's ear.
"God, yes," Anna whimpered. Elsa slowly pressed two fingers into Anna's opening. "Oh, fuck!"
Elsa reveled in the warmth that surrounded her digits as she pumped her fingers in and out of Anna's core. Her tongue resumed its assault on the woman's chest, licking and nipping at the flesh. She quickened the pace of her thrusts when Anna's hips began to buck in time with her fingers. She pressed her thumb to the sensitive bundle of nerves and Anna cried out multiple obscenities, her head thrown back in ecstasy. Elsa could feel Anna's core tighten as she neared release. She curled her fingers, hitting the rough patch within, thumb pressed hard against her clit, and felt Anna's walls clamp down around her fingers as she climaxed. She continued to pump her fingers, letting Anna ride out her orgasm. When the redhead's breathing returned to normal, Elsa pulled her fingers from her depths, a slight whine sounding from Anna at the loss.
"That was, wow," Anna giggled, her eyes closed.
Elsa brought her fingers to her lips, dragging her tongue along them to clean up the sticky substance that covered them. "I'll say," she grinned when teal eyes met her own.
"So, um," Anna looked around to find her discarded clothing. Elsa saw her blush when she handed Anna her bra and shirt. "Do you think we could, I don't know, see each other again?"
"I suppose that could happen," Elsa smiled.
The two left the office. Anna took Elsa's phone, put her number in, and handed it back to the blond. She promised she would call the woman soon.
"Oh," Anna turned back around. "What's your name?"
"Elsa."
The redhead smiled. "It was nice meeting you, Elsa."
"The pleasure was all mine," Elsa said in a husky voice.
"You better call me," Anna winked and waved as she walked away.
The two had met up a few more times, talking about nothing and everything all at once. It was a month before Elsa had learned Anna was in the Academy. That night, they laid everything out on the table. Elsa told Anna she was in her family's business, not going too into detail but enough for Anna to understand that not all Elsa's dealings were necessarily legal. She told Anna she understood if she no longer wanted to continue seeing her and Anna took her by surprise, saying they could work something out. She didn't want to lose what they had. As long as Anna didn't have to be around Elsa's business, she wouldn't have to do anything about it. It was agreed that the two would never speak of their occupations when they were together.
PRESENT
That had been two years ago. Elsa was in constant worry that someday their secret would be out and Anna's reputation and career would be done for. That worry would disappear when the young woman would smile at her. Elsa's constant panic was nonexistent when they were wrapped in each other's arms, whether it was during their rigorous activities or during times like now, when Elsa would hold Anna against her. Anna calmed her, gave her a sense of belonging. She knew her feelings were complicated for the beautiful woman.
Elsa glanced at the clock on Anna's nightstand, she sighed heavily, knowing she needed to leave, but reluctant to leave the woman she held affection for. Her eyes returned Anna's peaceful face, a soft smile on her lips. She leaned in, placing a kiss on the redhead's eyelids, and watched as Anna's eyes fluttered open. The normally teal eyes of the woman were greener after waking up, something Elsa cherished as it wasn't something she wasn't afforded to witness often.
Anna blinked a few times, trying to get her eyes to focus. "Sorry," she smiled sheepishly. "I didn't mean to fall asleep on you." She stretched, her body pressing against Elsa.
"It's no trouble," Elsa whispered. "I have to go now, though."
"Do you have to?" Anna pouted, tightening her grip on the blond.
"I wish I didn't have to," Elsa kissed her temple. "I should be able to be with you tomorrow," she glanced at the clock again, "or rather, later today."
"I'm off today," Anna commented. "You could just stay here," she said hopefully.
"Anna," Elsa started.
"I know, I know," she sighed. She leaned in, kissing Elsa's jaw. "Tonight is too far away."
She had said it under her breath, but Elsa had heard it. She gripped Anna's chin between her thumb and index finger, bringing her lips to hers, and gave her a chaste kiss. She nuzzled her nose against Anna's, sighed, and extracted herself from the bed. She dressed, gave Anna another soft kiss, and left. Her thoughts were filled with the redhead, making her heart feel light. She gave a final look up to the window she knew to be Anna's.
"You have no idea what you mean to me," she whispered before starting the bike and driving back to her estate.
Anna always hated this part of the night. She understood why Elsa had to leave her every night, but that didn't make it any easier when the time came. The time the two spent together made her feel light, made her feel like she belonged to someone. Elsa was everything she wanted in a lover. She could tease her, have her panting to the point where her lungs were about to give out, but there were times where Elsa was so gentle with her, almost as if she were making love to her.
They had never put a label on their relationship, but Anna knew she was Elsa's. There was no one else who could make her feel the way she did when she was in the other woman's presence. She was distraught when the woman wouldn't come to her for days at a time, and elated when the time came for them to reconnect. It was a dangerous thing, their relationship. She knew, but Anna couldn't bring herself to care.
The stress of being put on the case to follow Elsa's dealings was starting to take its toll on her. She couldn't tell Elsa that she was being watched, least of all by Anna herself. The day she had dreaded for so long finally came. She wasn't sure how it would end, and it terrified her. The time would come where Anna would have to make the hardest decision of her life: to arrest the woman that meant more to her than any that came before her, or to let the woman go, and risk her job and own freedom.
Anna sighed heavily, throwing herself back against the bed. She laid her head on the pillow Elsa had been laying on, breathing in the scent that lingered on the fabric. She missed that scent when it faded from her bed. She closed her eyes, seeing the blond in her mind, the way she smiled, the way her eyes shone when they met hers, and the light dusting of barely there freckles that fell across the woman's nose and cheeks. She could feel fatigue taking over her. As she drifted off to slumber, her thoughts were filled with Elsa, and she fell asleep to dreams of the woman, a grin on her lips.
