~o0o~
The unmarked Global Justice surveillance van stood innocuously in a side street, the boisterous sounds of the city barely heard from within. Agents Lynn and Scott manned the consoles, heads down as they worked. Kim stood behind them, overseeing the mission and making sure any problems were quickly sorted. She wore her uniform with pride, her hair dyed brown as she did for all covert missions.
She stared at the monitors without seeing them, her normally laser-focused attention to details elsewhere.
That look in her eyes just before Ron rang, Kim thought. She was gonna kiss me. "I'm sure of it."
"Pardon, ma'am?" Agent Lynn asked.
"Nothing, just thinking out loud," Kim replied. But was it part of the whole karaoke thing, or was it because she… well, wanted to? It's just– I'm with Ron, or was. Am. And she knows that. And she knows that I'm not… Well, that I've never– We're just friends, aren't we?
She dropped her head, the world feeling upside down.
And then there's that! she thought, glancing at the duffel bag Shego had pushed into her hands as she walked out the door. Could she be any more mysterious or cryptic?
'It'll save the day, Kimmie. You'll know when to open it, and not a moment too soon.'
Kim poked the bag with her foot for the umpteenth time, whatever inside soft and yielding.
It's the same bag she always used with Drakken, but why give it to me? And why now? It made her nervous in a tingly, excited kind of way. Never mind that, the mission! She glared at the monitors, trying to center herself. But was she going to kiss me?
She helped herself to a bottled water as she tried to calm her thoughts.
"Ma'am, we have it. But there's a problem," Agent Lynn announced.
"What is it?" Kim replied, her attention snapping back to the monitors.
The multiple screens showed various images from within a crowded nightclub. Some views were from the club's cameras, others from their own carefully installed surveillance devices, and even more from various agents. Central in all of the displays was their male target, while a single image showed a hand holding a mobile phone.
"The target's phone, it's an old HenchCo model, not a smartphone," Agent Scott said. "Our software won't upload onto it, let alone run on it."
Dammit! Why didn't our intel cover this? Kim thought. "Options?"
"None that I can see," Agent Scott replied.
"Plan-B, ma'am?" Agent Lynn said.
Kim chewed her lip in thought. Plan-B was a last resort and would result in the least amount of intelligence gathered while also revealing their investigation to those involved. She squared her shoulders, ready to make the tough call.
I really needed a big win after today, but there's no other choice– She paused, then looked down at the bag Shego had given her. No way?! She grabbed the bag and lifted it onto the counter. How could she know?
"Ma'am?" Agent Lynn asked.
"Put a hold on Plan-B and return the phone, but keep everyone in position."
"Roger that, ma'am."
Kim unzipped the bag, a crisp white envelope on top.
A letter? She lifted out the envelope. And clothes?
She ignored the clothes for now and opened the letter, quickly reading it.
'An antique phone, Kimmie? Well, there's a Possible solution for that. Dress for success, then find the blonde in the club with the phoenix tattoo. She'll get you what you need, and more.'
Kim reread the letter before putting it aside, then inspected the bag's contents. First up was a little black dress, her eyes widening as she held it up. She had mentioned it once to Shego in passing months ago and now here it was. The backless dress had looked stunning on the mannequin, but in her hands it seemed scandalously short, overly revealing and practically see-through.
Oookay. Worry about that later.
She draped the dress over a chair, then pulled out the next item.
Lacy G-string, black… She double checked the bag. Yep, no bra. Stilettos, so not me. A really nice choker, earrings, purse and makeup.
She laid everything out on the counter and took it all in.
Am I taking down an illegal Lorwardian arms dealer, or am I going clubbing?
~o0o~
Kim walked into the nightclub, the thumping music washing over her. She felt both glamorous and self-conscious in the little black dress, the silky fabric hugging her tight in all the right ways. She tugged on its hem as a cool breeze wafted up her legs, the stilettos really not helping. They were never her footwear of choice, shown by her overly-steady steps as she made her way down a spiral staircase and into the club proper.
Find the blonde, save the world. A little more info would've been nice, Shego.
She scanned the dance floor for a phoenix tattoo, a bar off to one side. How this mystery woman could help Global Justice, Kim did not know, but she trusted Shego. It still felt a little strange to know that she trusted Shego after their tumultuous past, but that was life. She did, so she did, and that was the end of the matter as far as she was concerned.
Trust aside, still not a fan of going in blind, Kim thought. Let's hope this mystery woman is every bit as useful as Shego suggested.
She slowly circled the club, very aware of the many appreciative glances thrown her way.
"Ma'am, we've found her!" Agent Lynn announced, her voice coming through loud and clear via Kim's earpiece.
Kim touched her ear as she listened to Agent Lynn, then she made a beeline for the far side of the room. Soon enough the crowd parted and she spotted her target, the mystery blonde standing all alone at a table, drink in hand and a blazing tattoo of a phoenix on her exposed back. Kim approached from behind and took the opportunity to size the woman up without being seen. Whoever she was, the woman had a gorgeous figure, her platinum blonde hair flowing down to her waist. Tight leather pants and knee-high lace-up boots accentuated her long legs, while elbow-length latex gloves, a black bustier, and a leather jacket on the seat beside her completed the woman's dominatrix look.
I so wish I could get away with wearing something like that, Kim thought, admiring the outfit.
She narrowed gap, the woman turning before Kim could announce herself.
"About time you got here," Shego said, smiling at her.
Kim considered herself the foremost expert on everything Shego, but even she had a hard time seeing her friend through the disguise. Blonde hair, blue eyes and tanned skin, they were all just wrong. However, her surprise was quickly replaced by anger. While she loved and accepted Shego's free-wheeling nature, she could not excuse Shego deliberately interfering in a mission like this.
"What are you doing–?!" Kim exclaimed.
"Follow my lead!" Shego said as she stepped forwards, sweeping Kim up into her arms and leaning in.
"Sh-Shego?"
Kim's world exploding as soft lips captured her own, her thoughts evaporating in an instant … unable to resist or say no. The kiss was unbelievably gentle, all warmth and sensation and more as she melted into Shego's embrace, her eyes fluttering shut as she curled her fingers in long blonde hair.
Shego…
She should have said no. Kissing anyone but Ron should not feel this good. It shouldn't make her lightheaded and wanting more. She arched against Shego as a silken tongue found her own, forgetting how to breathe as she surrendered to the adrenaline rush coursing through her.
She should have said no.
Then warmth turned to cold as Shego pulled away, and Kim took in a long, shuddering breath as the sounds of the nightclub slowly returned. She could feel her own thundering heartbeat and was way too hot, her thoughts going a million miles an hour. She tried to find her voice, but ended up simply leaning her forehead against Shego's, both of them breathing heavily; neither talking as they simply let the moment be.
I– I didn't know you could be kissed like that.
It complicated matters … especially with how good Shego smelt, a unique aroma of her Glow and perfume.
And she's so warm.
Kim bit her lip as she tried to hold onto the moment, but she could feel her embarrassment and guilt rising over the kiss. More than anything she needed some time alone to digest what had just happened.
"Ma'am, our target is on the move," Agent Lynn announced. "He's preparing to leave the club."
Kim's eyes snapped open as she raised a hand to her ear.
"Orders?" Agent Lynn asked.
Kim went to reply, but she was derailed as her hair was brushed aside, sharp teeth delicately capturing her ear.
"Careful, we're being watched," Shego whispered.
The warning grounded Kim and she did her best to compartmentalise the situation. She nodded in understanding and casually touched her ear, then realized Shego had removed her earbud communicator with just her tongue.
"No communications, either," Shego whispered, her arms still resting comfortably around Kim.
"That's not protocol!" Kim whispered.
"Tough!"
"Shego!" Kim snapped as quietly as she could, stepping back.
"Just follow my lead, and you'll complete your mission. Problem with that?"
"Of course I have a problem with that!" Kim replied. "Including this–" She gestured at the both of them. "And the, you know…" The kiss going unmentioned. "What the heck is going on?"
"You needed a night out and a win," Shego said, flashing Kim a smile. "So you're welcome. As for what's going on, I'm Sheridan or Sherry, the sexy femme fatale in this little plan of mine. And you're Katarina or Kat, an idealistic college girl who's my best friend, and you're falling in love with me."
"What?!" Kim exclaimed, her jaw dropping.
"No time to explain, it's showtime!" Shego said, looking past Kim.
"Ah, she came?" a woman's voice announced from behind. "You were right, Sheridan. Drinks for all, yes?"
Kim had so many more questions, but she could see the look in Shego's eyes – the situation had become serious. She turned, unsurprised when Shego slipped her arms around her. It seemed to be her cross to bear for having Shego on this mission with her. Coming towards them was a thirtyish looking woman, though Kim did not recognize the woman from her time on surveillance. That felt like a big lapse in their security protocols. The woman had stern yet striking features, her strawberry blonde hair styled in a cute pixie cut. She wore a stylish hat at a rakish angle, a loose tie hanging against her unbuttoned shirt, t-shirt and slacks.
She's armed, Kim thought, her trained eye not fooled by the woman's friendly demeanor. A concealed handgun and at least two knives.
"You decided to stay?" Shego said, flashing the woman a smile.
"I did," the woman replied as she pointedly looked Kim up and down. "I was curious, after all."
Okay Shego, balls in your court, Kim thought. She kept her expression carefully neutral, the woman's Eastern European accent hardly surprising considering the organization Global Justice was trying to take down. She had no idea what Shego's long-term plan was, but she could play her part and start with the basics. She flashed Shego a put-upon smile and nudged her with an elbow.
"Oh right, where are my manners?" Shego said. "Kat, this is Anna. Anna, my best friend Kat."
"Hi," Kim said.
"Wonderful to meet you," Anna replied. "Sheridan has told me so much about you."
"She has?"
"Oh, nothing but good, I can assure you."
"Sherry?" Kim said, turning to Shego.
"What can I say? I love talking about you," Shego replied. She squeezed Kim affectionately and looked over at the bar. "Now that you're finally here, we need drinks."
"Nineteen," Kim said automatically. Oh dang! Am I nineteen in this plan of hers?
"Nineteen and studying International Diplomacy! All work and no play, remember? Plus you promised me we'd have some fun next time we went out?"
"I'm here in this dress you bought me, aren't I?" Kim replied, thinking fast. "And… well– Fine!"
"Sex on the Beach for all of us!" Shego said, rubbing her hands together. "So you two get to know each other, and I'll go get us those drinks."
Kim was ready for the goodbye kiss, her raised finger intercepting Shego's lips.
Shego smirked at her, kissed her finger, then sauntered off to the bar.
Kim watched her go and rolled her eyes. She had seen Shego walk, jog, and run away many times over the years and the sexy runway strut Shego was putting on was certainly there to push her buttons. A girl either has it or she doesn't, and Shego had it – by the truckloads; each sensual step taunting Kim with her girlfriend status.
Why'd she have to say that I'm falling in love with her? Kim thought. I know she'll have her reasons, but geez. At least Ron and I are on a break, or something? So it's like… technically okay?
"–Couple," Anna said.
"Pardon?" Kim said, dragging her gaze back to Anna.
"You two really do make the cutest couple."
Oh?
"I'm definitely shipping you two."
"Uh, we're not really together, ya know? We're just good friends."
"The way she talks about you, looks at you, she's way past being a friend."
Really? No. Shego was just playing her part with the– the kiss, and everything. She glanced over at Shego. Yeah… just playing her part.
"–Cold feet dating a girl?"
"No no, it's just–" Keep it simple. "There's a guy."
"Ah."
"And he's the one. But when I'm with her…" She squared her shoulders and flashed Anna her best cheerleader smile. Right, ignore her friendly demeanor and focus on the mission. Shego wanted me to get to know her– And how does Shego know her anyways? What's their relationship and why?
"You and Sheridan seem friendly?" Kim queried.
Anna's short, sharp laugh was unexpected.
"She said you were intense as you were beautiful!" Anna replied. "And that you're the jealous type."
"I'm not–"
"Please, I've been around enough couples to recognize jealousy when I see it."
I'm not jealous, am I? Kim thought, the playful seduction and the almost-kiss at Shego's apartment coming back to haunt her. I'm just flustered about the whole– the whole… closeness thing.
"Well, there's nothing for you to worry about. We literally bumped into each other an hour ago. Plus I'm in L.A. for business, not pleasure." She locked eyes with Kim. "But for you two, I'd make an exception!"
Uh-oh! Definitely keep it simple. "Um… I'm flattered, but Sheridan and I have never, you know? And I've never… with a– a girl."
The intensity of Anna's gaze bored into Kim.
Geez Shego, what have you gotten me into?
~o0o~
Shego weaved her way across the crowded nightclub, drinks in hand. She could not stop humming in happiness as she replayed the kiss over and over again, everything about it perfect. It had been reciprocated, no denying that. And the memory of Kim's cherry flavored lips coupled with the hint of buried desires … they all sent tingles up and down her spine.
She didn't say no!
She paused to let a group of young women walk by, her gaze returning to Kim in that wonderfully short dress, Kim's high-heels showing off her legs to great effect. Couple that with her exposed back, slim waist and well-defined arms … Well, it made her the perfect package.
Shego raised a glass in cheer as Kim threw her a look, one she knew well.
I'm in trouble already? Well, that didn't take long. Guess she played her part, as I knew she would. So a few more kisses, and then we can move on to Phase Two. She bit her lip as her thoughts spiraled ahead. Maybe even second base? She shivered at the delicious fantasy. Then Kimmie will have her win, and I'll have my night to remember.
She arrived next to Kim, Anna off by herself on the phone. With a flourish she deposited the drinks on the table, raising an eyebrow as Kim grabbed her wrist.
"Come dance with me, sweetie?!" Kim said, her smile barely masking the steel in her voice.
Shego found herself being dragged off to the dance floor and while being bossed around was never her thing, she relented as it was Kim. She had even less to object about when Kim pulled her in close, slim arms wrapping around her. It was a brilliant bit of spycraft – a way to converse while maintaining their cover. She returned the embrace which instantly led to a dilemma over who would lead, and while it wasn't one of their classic battles, it was the next best thing as far as she was concerned. However, she instantly lost as Kim entangled their legs, the contest over before it had even truly begun. She flashed Kim a 'you'll pay for that' smile as she acknowledged Kim's win, the two of them moving into a slow dance despite the fast-paced techno beat. Revenge scenarios were forgotten as Kim relaxed against her, completing the disguise of a couple in love. It was all quite distracting, especially with Kim's head on her shoulder, soft hair cushioning her cheek as Kim's warm breath tickled her neck.
"You were right, we're being watched," Kim whispered.
"Told you," Shego replied, closing her eyes.
"Anna's men?"
"Yeah."
"So you know who she is? Who she really is?!"
"Of course."
"She's the head of the whole freakin criminal empire Global Justice is trying to take down!"
"I knew you'd work it out."
"Why didn't you say anything?!"
"Where's the fun in that?" Shego replied, not needing to see Kim's angry glare to know it was there. "So relax, I've got everything under control."
"Relax?! She's our white whale! No one knew who she was! We didn't even know she was a she, but you did and you found her. How?"
"Can't say."
Shego could almost feel Kim counting to ten, so she took the opportunity to steal the lead. Of course Kim resisted, so she ran her nails down Kim's back … receiving a startled gasp in reply. It allowed her the win, which was nice. As was the lead, but where she had her hands on Kim's lower back were even nicer. She dipped Kim low then brought her up so they were chest to chest, and how Kim could not feel her rapidly beating heart she did not know.
"Can't say, or won't?" Kim asked.
"Choose one," Shego replied.
She felt Kim tense then slowly relax, their intimate dance continuing in silence.
"Is it because of your business?" Kim asked. "I know you vet all your clients before taking them on?"
"I do."
"Is that it, then? She was a client, and that's how you found out?"
"An interesting theory."
"Okay, I get it," Kim said. "It would ruin your firm's reputation if word got out that you'd told me, a Global Justice agent. And I did promise to stay out of your business affairs, even though some of your clients are on the shady side."
"You did promise me that," Shego replied.
Kim edged away then danced around Shego, her hands moving along Shego's hips. She came face to face with Shego and retook the lead, her victorious expression saying that two could play this game.
"Well, since we're on the topic, got anything to say about Anna's organization suddenly using old HenchCo phones?" Kim asked.
"No comment," Shego replied, finding her voice.
"Uh-huh. So how do we get around it?"
"Simple, we ignore it. Because I have something better in mind."
"She openly propositioned me– Us! Is that part of your master plan?!"
"Well, doy! I knew that leaving the two of you alone would weaken her resolve. Now all we've gotta do is get her to ask us back to her place."
"Her place? What for?"
Shego let out an exasperated sigh.
"Oh?! You mean for…" Kim said, her voice trailing off.
"For sex, Kimmie. For a night of wild lesbian sex." She retook the lead as Kim froze in her arms. "Geez, loosen up. I'm joking. It's where her laptop will be, comprende?"
Kim's whispered 'oh' of understanding was icing on the cake.
~o0o~
Kim glanced sideways at her silent companion, she and Shego waiting in a hotel lobby for the lift to arrive. She still could not believe the sexy trap Shego had planned and the role she had to play in it. She touched her lips, remembering all the kisses she had avoided while watching how effortlessly Shego had manipulated Anna into inviting them back to her place.
And now we're almost there, Kim thought, her thoughts swirling.
She nervously looked over her shoulder at the reception desk where Anna was still talking quite animatedly with the hotel's concierge, while also taking in the dozen or so well-armed and totally discreet bodyguards that had been shadowing them since they had left the club.
I fly in from Hong Kong, have a semi-breakup or something with Ron, and now I'm in a five-star hotel with Shego and about to– about to…
She let out a long, silent sigh.
Could my day get any weirder?
She always put her body on the line for her ideals, but now those very ideals were clashing with her moral code. Seduction was one thing, but using actually sex as a weapon was a definite no-no for her; and Shego's co-opting of the mission was dancing across that line.
It's Shego and I, not Anna. So that's… kinda okay? It was a small loophole, but that was good enough for now. It's no big, really. She glanced at Shego. Yeah, no big.
She sighed for the umpteenth time and found herself scrutinizing Shego's disguise in the bright lights of the lobby, her gaze settling on Shego's lips.
She's such a good kisser, so strong and so passionate. It felt like I was her whole world. Annnd that doesn't matter! I'm with Ron, not her. Or into girls. So get your head in the game, Possible! Just focus on the mission, and everything will be fine. As Shego said, Anna has a kink for first times and likes to watch before joining in. So a few knockout drops in her drink, throw in some subliminals that we all had a great evening, then tag her stuff and leave. Easy peasy. Like what could possibly go wrong?
She shifted nervously until a warm hand found her own, Shego looking at her. She squeezed the offered hand in reply, no words needing to be spoken.
She knows me so well. Better than I know myself sometimes.
"It'll be fine," Shego said.
"Why aren't you nervous?" Kim asked. "You've worked with Drakken, and others. You know better than anyone that plans go awry, that they fail." She swallowed. "What if we have to… you know?"
"Kiss?"
"Yes!"
"Because our first kiss was that bad?"
"…No."
"But kissing me again would be terrible?"
"Yes. No. Oh, I don't know!" Kim replied, squeezing Shego's hand. "The mission always comes first, but I don't wanna ruin what we have. Our friendship means everything to me."
"Trust me, I'm here to stay," Shego said. "And there's always Plan-B." She held up a hand to her chest, a fingertip briefly glowing green. "Just say the word and I'll knock her out, then you can call in the cavalry and tear the place apart."
"I know, I know, but the intel we'll gather by bugging all of her devices without her knowledge. It'll make the world a much safer place."
"Then don't. I'm good either way."
Kim stewed on Shego's reply for a few seconds, before asking, "So you're actually fine with us kissing?"
It was a simple question and she expected a snappy reply, not the faraway look in Shego's eyes.
"Oh yes," Shego eventually replied, "But is it really you when you're sporting this color?" She lightly touched Kim's hair. "Mousy brown really doesn't suit you."
"You're one to speak!" Kim shot back. "Blonde hair, blue eyes, and a tan, it's so not you."
"Hey, when I go undercover, I go way undercover." She twirled around and struck a pose. "Ya like?"
Kim blinked. Girly Shego hardly ever came out. It left her feeling even more off-balance than she already was.
~o0o~
"Voilà," Anna announced as she threw open the doors to her penthouse apartment. The place was big, recessed lights in the ceiling highlighting its opulent decor. A large leather sofa dominated the classically sunken living room, along with a grandiose fireplace in the center. Over to one side was an open kitchen with a well-stocked bar and complementing it all was a large balcony offering a stunning nighttime view of the city below.
"Now make yourselves at home while I go and slip into something more comfortable," Anna said as she headed for her bedroom, her excitement quite palpable.
Shego rolled her eyes and took a moment to survey the apartment, but nothing stood out. So she closed the doors, turning to find Kim already at the bar.
She can take down a giant death robot without blinking an eye, but at the thought of losing our friendship she goes to pieces.
It boded well for their future, she just had to get Kim there.
She sauntered up to the bar, Kim already in the process of filling three glasses with champagne.
She's so damn sexy when she's being serious, Shego thought. We took down Aviarius way too fast back in the day.
She pulled out a stool and sat down, saying nothing as Kim twisted one of her rings so that a tiny pellet dropped into one of the drinks, the tablet dissolving almost instantly.
Kim moved the drugged beverage aside, then handed Shego one of the drinks.
"Salute," Shego said as she raised her glass, taking a sip.
Kim raised her drink in reply, but set it aside without drinking.
"Still nervous?" Shego whispered.
"Prefer to keep a clear head," Kim whispered in reply.
Shego nodded in understanding and downed her drink, filling it again. She did not need to stay sober for the takedown and ignored Kim's disapproving frown. She protected her drink from Kim, then tapped a finger against her chest to send the message that Anna could be knocked out at any time. It would be a simple task and the champagne was really good, so she reached for the bottle again.
"No more!" Kim whispered, moving the bottle away.
Shego set her empty glass down and leaned forwards, her combative nature rising to the fore.
"Don't!" Kim whispered, raising a finger.
Shego grinned, a playful gleam in her eyes.
They both looked up as the lights dimmed, soft music filling the apartment. A few seconds later firelight bathed the room in a warm, welcoming glow, highlighting the large bearskin rug by the fireplace.
"Ladies?" Anna said from across the room. "I believe I was promised a show?"
Kim used the interruption to move the bottle of champagne out of Shego's reach and then grabbed Anna's drink. Adopting her best cheerleader smile, she turned, Anna silhouetted in her bedroom doorway.
Oh geez! Kim thought.
Anna slowly sauntered across the room in a loosely done up robe, clearly wearing nothing underneath. Gone was her business look and the guise of a master criminal, now she just looked like any regular, horny person.
Kim instantly felt self-conscious in her little black dress. She wanted – no, needed – her Global Justice uniform to fight off this unorthodox attack. She had no experience in being approached like this, especially by a woman. She glanced at Shego, who was looking forlornly at her empty glass – so no help there.
The drink! Kim thought, and she held out the champagne glass as if it were a shield.
"Why, thank you," Anna said as she took the glass. "But I'll save it for later."
Kim blinked at Anna's refusal.
"You really are ravishingly beautiful," Anna said as she trailed a finger under Kim's chin. She licked her lips as she looked between Kim and Shego. "And your first time should be special, yes?" She walked over and sat in one of the chairs by the fireplace and waved a hand at the bearskin rug.
~o~
C'mon Kimmie, give me the word, Shego thought, refusing to zap Anna unconscious without Kim's say-so.
Kim looked at her, indecision written all over her face.
"She didn't drink!" Kim whispered.
"Well, doy!" Shego whispered in reply.
"What do we do?!"
Shego contained her surprise, they had talked about this. She raised a finger, but Kim shook her head.
Always trying for the perfect mission. Never wanting to compromise, Shego thought.
She emphasized the need to take Anna down by giving Kim a look, receiving an emphatic expression of no.
She's so damn stubborn.
She glanced between Kim and Anna and made the decision for the both of them, the only one they had left. She went weak in the knees as she slid off the stool, hardly believing what she was about to do. Knowing that if she stopped to think she would regret it. A few steadying breaths and she moved in front of Kim, and it had to be in her eyes – she was damn well sure it was written all over her face as Kim raised a hand, her mouth open.
"You did lose the bet in the club," Shego announced, loud enough for Anna to hear.
"…I…" Kim replied.
"And we did promise her a show."
She took Kim's hand and tightened her grip, yanking Kim up and onto her shoulder. Kim's startled grunt was music to her ears, and she held Kim quite possessively as she headed for the sofa.
Don't think!
She adjusted her grip, amazed that Kim still hadn't cottoned onto what was happening.
Don't think!
She walked past the bearskin rug and dropped Kim onto the sofa, climbing up and straddling Kim's legs, her hands resting on either side of Kim's head. Now she had Kim's full attention. Past words, she drowned in those wide eyes, Kim never more beautiful than right now. The flickering firelight highlighted Kim's angelic features and her wonderfully disheveled hair, and especially the plunging neckline of her dress and the curve of her breasts.
The firelight also illuminated Kim's attempt to rise.
Don't think!
She captured Kim's wrists and pinned them to the back of the couch, and held them there. Barely noticing the warmth from the fire, the heat from Kim trumping all. She breathed in a little faster, expecting Kim to break free at any moment. And biting her lip, she leaned in … so close she could smell Kim's sweat, perfume and the alcohol on her breath, Kim looking so damn sexy … so vulnerable … so lost.
"Ships passing in the night," Shego whispered.
She softly brushed Kim's lips with her own, almost teasingly, then kissed her.
Their first kiss had been perfect, this was better.
She relaxed her hold and laced their fingers together, her hands gripping Kim's tight as she melted into the kiss. A tiny nip and Kim's lips parted, their tongues touching. Oxygen became a luxury as those lips became a necessity. She opened her mouth wider as she kissed with her whole body, Kim acquiescing to her hungry demands. She ripped herself away, tugging on Kim's lip as she went, and stared into olive-green eyes filled with trepidation and doubt. A smile, and she released Kim's wrists, her hands cupping flushed cheeks. An eternity passed as their chests rose and fell, their breaths mingling as one. Lowering herself back down, she molded herself against Kim as she kissed her, kissed the life out of her, fingers curling in glorious red hair.
And then she fell down the rabbit hole.
Tender skin beckoned as she brushed Kim's hair aside, exposing a freckled shoulder. She moved from Kim's lips to her jaw, then down and along that supple neck, her kisses increasing in intensity as she went. Stifled moans spurred her on as she hooked a finger under a spaghetti strap, the barrier offering no resistance as she slid it free. Sinking her teeth in to signal victory.
"Ohh! Oh G-God!" Kim moaned.
Shego relished her dominance as she peppered Kim shoulder and neck with love bites, quickly returning to Kim's lips. They were so soft, so wanting. She deepened their kiss even as her questing fingers slid the remaining strap aside, her wrists weakly grabbed as she inched the dress down. She paused, then continued, slowly revealing pert breasts, rock-hard nipples and firm abs, the dress pooling around Kim's waist. Time lost all meaning as she sat there in awe, Kim's breasts rising and falling with her ragged breaths. Shego bit her lip and raked her fingers up Kim's ribs, then trailed them up and over those perfect breasts, every muscle tightening at the soft, flawless curves beneath her touch. She kissed Kim and then went down, trailing feverish kisses as she went. A nipple was taken between eager lips, her tongue circling the forbidden fruit, lightly grazing the sensitive bud, teasing and pulling. But she needed more, Kim's moans spurring her on. She slipped her hand under Kim's dress, then lower, until she found her prize.
"Oh! Oh G-Geez!" Kim gasped.
Kim was so wet beneath her fingers as she gently moved her palm up and down, Kim's hips rising at her touch. Then she lovingly caressed Kim's clit, making small circles upon it.
"Sh-Shee–!" Kim moaned, holding onto her. "Mmhhmm… We should– Mhhmmm… Do– Aah! Do something– Aahh! Mhhhmm…"
Shego loved Kim's breathy exclamations as she moved her lips to Kim's neglected nipple, her circling fingers increasing their pace on Kim's clit. She matched her strokes to the urgency of Kim's body, and before too long she felt Kim tense. And stopped. Receiving the cutest little mewl of complaint. Easing away, she snaked her way to the floor, removing Kim's dress as she went.
"Beautiful," Shego whispered, Kim the personification of Aphrodite in the firelight.
She placed her hands on Kim's knees and pushed them apart, positioning herself between Kim's thighs. Her hands massaging their way up Kim's thighs, deeper and closer, skin so soft she had to claim it. She shifted Kim's G-string aside to expose Kim's nicely shaved pussy, leaning in to kiss, her tongue unfurling to taste; eliciting a soft, muted moan from above. She followed it up with long, intense licks. No time for slow as she captured Kim's clit, sucking and licking the sensitive bud over and over, fast and slow, soft and hard, making a moaning, writhing mess out of Kim. She paused to wet her fingers, and slid one inside Kim, then a second, the warmest, softest velvety walls enveloping her fingers.
"Mhhmmm! Please… Aahh!" Kim moaned as she grabbed Shego's head, pulling her closer.
Shego needed no further urging as she proceeded to vigorously fuck Kim, her tongue worshiping Kim's clit. She was suddenly gripped painfully hard as Kim arched into the air, Kim throwing her head back as she let out a soundless, breathless cry of joy. Kim so heart-breakingly beautiful as she orgasamed. Shego rose up and pressed herself against Kim, savoring the moment as she kissed Kim, feeding her the taste of their passion. And while she had wanted to hear Kim scream out her name, the look of euphoric exhaustion on Kim's face would suffice.
The sound of shattering glass disturbed her moment.
She glanced over at Anna with annoyance, the woman unconscious and with a broken champagne glass by her feet.
Whoops! Shego thought, falling onto the couch as Kim slid out from under her. She expressed her disappointment with a pout, but was easily mollified as she watched Kim quickly run across the apartment in just a G-string. It was so damn sexy. Head in hand, her eyes followed Kim as Kim quickly and efficiently moved from room to room, gathering up all the electronic devices she could find.
~o0o~
Not good, Shego thought, for the umpteenth time.
The chauffeured ride back to her place had been painfully silent so far, Kim barely looking at her, let alone saying anything since they had left Anna's apartment. That the mission had been a rousing success was inconsequential, now she was facing the inevitable consequences.
I shouldn't have said beautiful, or kissed her afterwards. No, I shouldn't have fucked her. She wasn't ready for it. She wasn't ready for us.
She wanted to scream, but instead sat there and maintained a stoic face. Eventually she took a deep breath and turned to face Kim, needing to know if things were okay between them.
"Kim?" she said, touching Kim's arm.
Kim flinched at her touch, a first. Not even when they had fought as hero and villain had Kim ever shied away from her like that.
"We're fine," Kim replied, barely meeting her gaze. "Really, we are. I understand you did what you did because– Well, I froze. But let's talk about it tomorrow, okay?"
Shego felt all the blood drain from her face, feeling cold.
She lied? Oh fuck! I've ruined everything!
~o0o~
Shego woke with a start, her sleepy eyes staring out into the darkness of her bedroom.
Mmnwutizzit? she thought fuzzily, unsure why she had woken.
She lay there for a moment and then felt it, something was off. She was up and out of her bedroom in a flash, her glowing hands lighting up her apartment as she went. Her worries crystallized as she spied Kim's door standing wide open and, with a sinking heart, she walked over and looked inside. The room was empty and the bed unslept in, no sign that Kim had even been there … or was coming back.
She felt something break inside, rubbing her eyes as she refused to cry. She was too much of a badass for that, her hands coming away wet.
I need– I need, something.
The bottle of vodka in the freezer would be a good start, but she would need more than just alcohol to hold back the flood of emotions building within.
~o0o~
I like my dramatic endings, so consider this the storm before the fun.
Oh, and if you left a replyable review for Chapter 1 and didn't get a reply, check your PM's. Was told that notifications sometimes weren't going through.
