Foxxay Prompt: They're in the greenhouse and Misty puts Stevie on. It's her favorite song, and she can't help but dance. It doesn't take much, but she convinces Cordelia to dance along with her and Cordelia makes a footing mistake and it just leads to Cordelia on top of Misty. It's awkward for her, but Misty is just grinning from ear to ear. She can't help but taking Cordelia's red face into her hands and giving her the most passionate kiss she can.
...Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night,
and wouldn't you love to love her?...
"Oh, this one's my favorite!" Misty squealed, turning the knob on her stereo all the way up, until the rasp of Stevie Nicks echoed through the entire greenhouse.
Cordelia glanced over her shoulder, shooting a shy smile at the swamp witch twirling in place. She bit her lip to contain the wide grin, and turned back to the plant she was pruning.
"Takes to the sky like a bird in flight, and who will be her lover?" The whispered lyric in Cordelia's ear made her jump, dropping the shears to the counter with a loud clatter. Misty was flush against her back, her hot breath skimming the woman's neck—bringing goosebumps to her skin.
Having the swamp witch this close made her unbearably nervous. Cordelia still hadn't figured out her feelings for the girl, but she had an inkling that—if the goosebumps were any indication—the affection toward her student was terribly improper.
"Dance with me," the girl whispered in Cordelia's ear, sending a shiver down her spine.
"I—umm—I'm not much of a dancer,"
"Aw, come on. You gotta loosen up every once in a while, Miss Cordelia! Life's too short to go 'round actin' like a stick in the mud,"
A little taken aback by the girl's brash comment, Cordelia spun around quickly, "Fine."
"Oh, good!" Misty squealed, taking the woman's arms and holding them straight out on either side of the woman. "Now, just cross your feet over each other, real quick like, and spin."
Cordelia felt terribly silly, but figured that refusing to try would make a worse impression on Misty than looking a little uncoordinated. So, with a deep breath and a nervous smile toward her companion, Cordelia began to spin. The twirls were slow at first, but gained momentum as her confidence did; and soon she was spinning so fast that the room became a colorful blur.
Misty clapped excitedly somewhere in her peripheral, "That's it, Miss Cordelia. You got it now!" Inspired by her beautiful headmistress, the swamp witch gripped the edges of her shawl and began a rapid twirl herself.
Out of the corner of her eye, Cordelia caught sight of Misty. The light danced on her blonde curls as they swung wildly about her face—making them shine brighter than pure gold. Distracted, the older woman lost her footing, tripped over herself and flailed all the way into the girl's arms.
They tumbled backwards together until Misty landed hard on a cleared countertop, inadvertently pulling Cordelia down on top of her. For the shortest of moments, Delia allowed herself to savor the feeling of the girl's arms around her, and the solid warmth beneath.
"Well," Misty giggled, "Up until the tumble, you were doin' real good!"
Realizing what they must look like—wrapped up in each other's arms in the empty greenhouse—Cordelia began to pull back. But soft, ringed finger on her cheek, made her stop. This gentle grip forced Delia to meet Misty's eyes.
The swamp witch searched two-toned orbs for a clue—some indication that what she was about to do was acceptable—but the feeling of the headmistress' warm breath on her cheek was too much, and before she could debate it any longer, Misty leaned in to capture Cordelia's lips in a soft, but passionate kiss.
The older witch let out a small whimper, and spread her lips to the girl's imploring tongue. As Misty began running her hands over the dips and curves of her body, Cordelia realized exactly how she felt about the girl; and it was terribly improper...but in that moment, propriety was a lost drop in the sea of love, where she was more than happy to drown.
WOW! What a great prompt! I absolutely loved this! Thanks so much for sending it in!
Okay, so I've got one more chapter coming up tonight, and the author's notes in it should tell you everything you need to know.
