Rating: PG
Franky stepped quietly thru the threshold of her home, smiling gently as she noticed the softly glowing lamp in the corner of the living room that her wife had left illuminated for her. It wasn't often that the brunette spent late nights in the office. But when she did, Bridget always found a way to make her feel well taken care of.
Franky stealthily made her way to living room, gently laying down the pile of paperwork she had clutched precariously in her arms onto the coffee table. She plopped onto the couch, long fingers reaching up to rub the exhaustion out of hazel eyes. The brunette took a moment to breathe before once again reaching for her paperwork, her already fatigued brain fighting to stay awake and focused so she could complete the task at hand.
"Hey, baby."
The brunette instinctually jumped at the quiet greeting, mind unsure of how many minutes had passed in the silence before the blonde appeared. Within moments Franky's body began to relax, the sensation of tender fingertips grazing across the expanse of her shoulders providing instant comfort. The blonde leaned over the back side the couch, arms wrapping around broad shoulders offering a soothing embrace.
"Heya." Franky wearily smiled, head tipping backwards to rest on a tanned shoulder.
"It's almost 1am." Bridget's tilted her head downwards, nose burying deeply into brunette locks. She placed a gentle kiss on the crown of her wife's head, nose slowly breathing in her comforting scent. "When did you get home? I didn't hear you come through the front door."
"I've only been here a few minutes. Had to stay late to prep paperwork for our client's deposition tomorrow. Still not done." Franky sighed, enjoying the sensation of fingertips grazing off her shoulders. She eyed the blonde as she made her way around to the front of the couch, heart ever grateful for the unconditional love this woman gives her every day. "What are you doing up?"
"Couldn't sleep. I always have trouble sleeping when you're not here." Bridget smiled at her lover as she sat next to her on the couch. She leaned forward, thumbing through the messy pile of paperwork sat on the coffee table. "Is this the case you were telling me about earlier?"
"Yeah…" The younger woman nodded as she frowned. "Poor bloke. No one believes that he's innocent."
"But you do." The blonde sat back on the couch, hand gently resting on the top of Franky's thigh.
"Yeah." The brunette rested her hand atop of the smaller woman's, fingers lightly intertwining. "I mean, he deserves to have someone in his corner, right?"
"Like you did?" Bridget turned, hazel and sapphire orbs instantly connecting.
"Yeah…" Franky sighed, ever amazed how easily the love of her life was always able to put the puzzle pieces together before she ever could.
"What time is the deposition tomorrow?" Bridget inquired, noting the larger than usual bags puffing below bloodshot yet ever gorgeous hazel orbs.
"Not until early arvo." The brunette shrugged, turning to face the mountain of paperwork. She frowned, body instantly tensing at the thought of having to complete the work before the impending deadline.
"Why don't you call it a night then?" The smaller woman offered a small smile as fingertips squeezed the thigh they were resting on. "You should get some rest… Finish this in the morning."
"I'm so wound up." Franky sighed as she leaned back to rest onto the couch, staring at the darkness towards the ceiling. "Don't think I could go to sleep quite yet."
"I know something that will help you relax." Bridget offered simply, allowing a moment for her lover to sink back into the cushions.
"Oh yeah?" The younger woman chuckled lightly, continuing to stare blankly at the ceiling. "What's that?"
Slowly and silently, Bridget shifted on the couch, legs moving to straddle the tops of Franky's long thighs. She faced her beautiful lover and smiled, tanned arms draping over olive shoulders. The older woman leaned in, peppering gentle kisses along Franky's jawline before hovering teasing lips over the brunette's right ear.
The blonde grinned cheekily as she whispered suggestively into her lover's ear. "I've been thinking about you all day."
Instantly Bridget pulled away, ocean eyes instantly connecting with the fire that had been ignited within hazel orbs. She smiled as she stood from her seated position atop Franky's thighs to begin slinking away in the direction of the hallway.
Franky watched in captivation as Bridget walked towards the bedroom, slowly slipping off article upon article of clothing. Suddenly, Bridget paused in her journey and turned to Franky wearing nothing but a compellingly seductive smile.
"Come to bed."
Franky giggled and surrendered, rising from the couch to follow the gorgeous blonde into the sanctuary of their bedroom. Any work that needed to be completed could happen after the sun rose once again. In this very moment, the only thing that mattered was physically and spiritually connecting with the woman who would forever hold her heart.
