Chapter 10

Cara was torn between whether to go back to avoiding the Confessor or not. Avoiding her would mean she's clearly being affected and not avoiding would mean that she had to learn a whole new level of control. Especially after the stunt Kahlan pulled yesterday. Even with all her training and all of her will power, she almost managed to lose.

The Mord'Sith was currently at her desk, flipping a wooden pencil her hand. She thought about that night's events after she got back at the table.

Denna was acting strangely. Why was she acting strangely? It wasn't like her.

Well, Denna took out her vile of oxytocin while Cara and Kahlan were in the bathroom. However, instead of putting half the vile in Cara's cup... she accidently put the whole thing in. She convinced herself that she might as well put an entire vile into Kahlan's anyway, so she did. Trianna looked at her mate like she was crazy, "Denna! That-"

"Shhhh, it was an accident. Here she comes," Denna said, trying to act normally.

Cara shook the thought from her mind. Denna acting strangely wasn't so strange. She's been like that lately, maybe it was Trianna that was influencing her. The Mord'Sith didn't really concern herself with it. However, she was concerned with Kahlan and what she was going to pull next. But it was Cara's move now. The blonde smiled as she began to devise what she was going to do. To be honest, she didn't know how much teasing she could take. The only thing that was holding her back was her pride. She was determined not to lose, even if this sexual frustration drove her insane.

"Cara," Richard's voice interrupted her thinking. He was standing next to her desk as she looked up at him. He sat down on the chair next to her desk and she rolled her eyes, what did the boy want now.

"Is there something going on with you and Kahlan?" he asked, his fingers being a little fidgety. Cara raised an eyebrow- a little surprised by the question- and leaned back in her chair, "What gives you that idea?" she asked, amused but didn't show it. Richard sighed, "Well, she's been acting a little... I don't know... distant lately, and the the only reasons I can think of is that she's either going through a really tough time and can't talk about it or something's happening with you and her. You know, like a fight or something," he answered. Cara nodded and leaned forward, "Things between me and Kahlan are tense," she replied.

He nodded, "Why?" he asked.

"Ask her," Cara said as she turned back to her desk. "Okay," he said as he got up and was about to walk away.

"Richard," she called out and he turned around, "Did you ever stop to think that maybe Kahlan is involved with someone else? Not in this work environment?" she asked. Richard looked at Cara as he thought about it. She noticed his jaw clenched before he said, "Maybe," before walking away.

Cara smiled, internally of course, at her victory and thought she should go warn Kahlan of the situation. So she left the poor man to ponder as she went down to the basement.

Kahlan wasn't working over a dead body this time, in fact, it seemed she was shopping for shoes. Kahlan changed her screen, but not fast enough, when she saw Cara. "Work, I suppose?" Cara asked smugly. Kahlan rolled her eyes, "Just looking," the doctor answered. Cara's eyes slowly looked over the doctor. She wasn't wearing anything inappropriate but it wasn't exactly modest either. A loose dress that stopped at just above the knees. She found her thoughts wandering before she looked her in the eye.

"Richard is getting suspicious. I thought you wanted to date the man," Cara stated, walking over to a wheeled chair and dragging it closer to the doctor. Kahlan shrugged, "He's nice and everything, but-"

"He's too timid," the blonde finished with a smirk. "Oh please, Cara, don't be so smug yet. I did almost break you last night," Kahlan replied with a satisfied smile. The Mord'Sith rolled her eyes, "Kahlan, I show you want you want to believe," she answered. Kahlan's smile got wider, "If you say so," she replied nonchalantly. Cara furrowed her eyebrows at the other woman, "Don't get too confident, Kahlan. It's my move now, remember?"

"Oh, I wonder what you'll do next," Kahlan said as she turned back to her computer. Cara moved her chair behind her and leaned in to the other woman's ear, "Do you really want to know?" she asked, taking the shell of her ear and nipping it. Kahlan's jaw clenched at the unexpected contact. Cara's hands slid around the chair in front of her and rested on the Confessor's thighs.

"I could... show you right now," the blonde continued, as her hands slid closer, sliding the hem of the dress up as she did so. Kahlan closed her eyes and strengthened her resolve. Her hands placed on top of Cara's effectively stopping them.

"We're at work, Cara," she addressed in a warning tone.

"All the better. But you would have to stay quiet. We don't need anyone hearing you as I bring you to a mind shattering orgasm," the Mord'Sith answered confidently. Kahlan shuttered at her words and didn't stop the blonde when she continued to move her hands closer and closer.

"I love what you're wearing today, Kahlan. It's almost like you were... expecting this," Cara whispered as her left hand traveled up her body and to the spaghetti strap of the dress. She considered slipping both straps down, but thought one would suffice... for now. Her hand easily slipped the strap of her dress down without much effort, before slipping her hand underneath Kahlan's strapless bra.

"Mmm," Kahlan moaned as she bit her lip, her eyes closed and her own left hand placed on top of Cara's, on top of her dress. The blonde's finger began to caress the Confessor's nipple, making the brunette arch her back a little and shift in her chair. All the while, the detective's right hand 'investigating' what's underneath Kahlan's underwear.

"Cara, we can't... not here," she breathed, before she gasped and her hips arched up and her head thrown back as she felt Cara's fingers rubbing Kahlan's clit. Cara's smile turned into a grin, "But you're so wet for me, Kahlan," she replied, before putting a little more pressure.

"Shit," Kahlan breathed, "Language, Doctor," Cara scolding playfully as her fingers traveled toward the brunette's entrance. Then suddenly Kahlan's right hand grabbed Cara's thigh behind her, clenching as she felt the pleasure rack through her. The Mord'Sith's fingers now gathering her slickness and spreading it, before caressing the Confessor's clit again. The hold on Cara's leg became tighter. The blonde thought she'd put Kahlan out of her sexual misery and so she started to rub a little harder and a little faster.

"Yes," the doctor gasped as her mouth fell open and her face contorted in pleasure. Her hips began to rise a little as she rode in rhythm with Cara. Kahlan's other hand shot to the back of Cara's neck, her nail digging into the skin. Cara bit her lip as she felt the slight pain run through her, turning her on. Just when Kahlan was on the brink, she heard a beeping noise.

"Oh, damn," Cara said, though her tone sounded sarcastic. She stopped her actions and began to get up, but Kahlan's hold got tighter, "You better finish what you started," the Confessor warned. The blonde smirked, wiping her fingers on her pants before detaching the brunette's hands. She then spun Kahlan in her chair and leaned in so that her lips were centimeters from hers, "Duty calls, Doctor," she whispered before leaving. Kahlan at least expected a kiss, but she couldn't even get that.

She growled in frustration, "We're not done here, Cara," she called and the blonde's pace slowed. Although, it was far from what Kahlan did to her, who said she was finished yet?"Oh, we're far from done, Kahlan. It's still my move," she answered before quickening her pace again.

Kahlan swiveled back around in her chair, facing the computer. To say she was frustrated was an understatement. A part of her didn't know what was wrong with her. Under normal circumstances, she had more control but she felt like an animal in heat and couldn't control herself. She sighed and rubbed her face in her hands. Then a thought occurred to her... maybe she should have herself tested... just in case. Look for any abnormalities.

Kahlan got up and went to conduct the tests. Maybe she should give Cara the same tests. The thought crossed her mind but at the moment, the fog was just clearing her head so she didn't really pay much mind to it.

Cara's expression suddenly got serious when she realized something. It's been nagging the back of her mind for a while but she always assumed it was just herself and her body chemistry. Being a Mord'Sith and all. But still... what about Kahlan? If she knew the Confessor right, she wouldn't have been that easy just then. As much as she enjoyed this game, she had a gut feeling that something was wrong.

The blonde thought about it for a while, thinking whether or not to tell Kahlan. What if she was wrong? What if Kahlan was just... an easy person? Cara clenched her teeth at that. The Confessor was a very respectable person, if there was one thing that would describe her, easy was definitely not one of them. The Mord'Sith sighed. Maybe she was overthinking, maybe she was just letting her imagination get the better of her. But the feeling won't go away.

After this. I'll go to Kahlan and we'll discuss it, Cara thought.
