Kara feels nervous as she walks into Lena's apartment with Lena following closely behind her. Lena breaks away to turn on a few lights and then walks back over to Kara.
"I liked that movie," she says.
A wave of guilt washes over Kara. "Lena, I'm sorry, I didn't know …."
Lena grabs Kara's hand, effectively shutting her up.
"No, I mean it. I wasn't being facetious. It was good for me to see," she explains. "It made me feel all the more strongly that I don't want to retreat into my own world again after all that's happened. I don't want to be alone. I want to be part of the world. I want to be with people." She looks at Kara more intently. "I want to be with you."
Lena leans forward. Kara can hear Lena's heart race; her eyes are filled with desire. Lena lets go of Kara's hand and takes off Kara's glasses. As Lena leans in for a kiss, a panicked feeling suddenly comes over Kara. She takes a step back.
Lena looks confused and hurt. "Sorry, I …", she starts, but she doesn't finish her sentence.
Lena takes a few steps back. Then she heads into the kitchen and pours whiskey into two glasses. She picks up the glasses, looks at Kara, looks at the whiskey, frowns, and puts the glasses back down.
Kara is surprised by how insecure Lena seems. She thought it would've been clear her stepping away was only because she's scared of physically hurting Lena again. How can she not realize how much Kara wants her? But it is obvious Lena feels rejected. Kara's heart goes out to her.
"Come here," Kara says.
Lena looks at her uncertainly. Then she slowly walks over and faces Kara.
Kara decides to put things as simply as she can. "I love you," she says, "and I want you. But I'm afraid I'll hurt you. So I need us to take this slowly so I don't get caught up in the moment and forget myself, forget my strength. And I need you to tell me as soon as I'm hurting you."
Lena smiles. She looks relieved.
"Also," Kara continues, "I've never been with a woman before. I don't know whether …." Kara realizes she sounds nervous. She stops talking.
Lena smiles and says, "This is new for me too."
"Sleeping with a woman?"
"No, sleeping with an alien."
Kara can't help but smile.
"Wait here," Lena says as she turns around. She rummages through her purse and takes out a tiny white container the size of a ring box with the L Corp logo on it. She opens it and takes out a round piece of silver half the size of a penny. She sticks it to the inside of her wrist and looks at Kara proudly.
Kara gives her a confused look.
"Squeeze my arm," Lena says as she holds out her arm.
"What? No."
Lena scans her apartment. She walks over to the fireplace and takes a metal ornament off the mantelpiece. She holds out her arm again and crashes the ornament into her arm.
Kara shrieks. "Lena! What are you doing?!"
Thinking she must've gone completely mad and probably broken her arm, Kara rushes over to her.
"See?!", Lena proudly proclaims as she holds out her uninjured arm to Kara. "Not hurt one bit."
"How on earth?"
"It's an invisible body armor," Lena explains proudly. "Pressures above a certain threshold are reduced to pressures that we still find tolerable." Holding up the ornament, she continues, "I felt that, but it didn't hurt."
Once again Lena holds out her arm. "Now stroke it," she says.
Kara frowns, but nevertheless caresses Lena's arm with the outside of her fingers. Goosebumps appear. Lena looks infinitely pleased with herself.
"Pretty neat, huh?"
Kara can't help but laugh. "So, I can touch you and it'll feel nice and I won't be able to hurt you?", she asks just to be sure.
Lena takes a step closer. "No, you won't be able to hurt me and yes, when you touch me it'll feel very nice," she says, her tone smooth and seductive.
Very slowly, Kara closes the distance between them. When their faces are only a few inches apart, she breathes in Lena's smell. Then she softly kisses her lips.
"You felt that?"
Breathlessly, Lena nods.
Kara moves her mouth down and kisses Lena's neck using the tip of her tongue.
As she moves her head back, Kara sees Lena has closed her eyes, tilted her head back, and opened her mouth.
"And you felt that?"
Lena lets out a deep breath and opens her eyes again. Her eyes are pure desire.
Slowly, Kara unbuttons Lena's shirt. She plants a kiss on Lena's collarbone. Lena's shirt falls onto the floor. Kara feels Lena's fingers in her hair.
When Kara moves her head back up, Lena says hoarsely, "Kara, take me to bed."
Rather than wait for Kara to take the lead, Lena grabs hold of Kara's hand and leads her into the bedroom. Kara feels shy and nervous all of a sudden. At the foot of her bed, Lena stops and turns around. She unbuttons Kara's shirt and takes it off. Lena takes off her own shoes and Kara quickly follows suit. Nervously, Kara puts a hand on Lena's waist. Her skin is pale and so smooth. Kara strokes it gently. She moves closer to Lena. Awkwardly, she unbuttons Lena's pants.
When she looks up again the desire in Lena's eyes suddenly squashes all the nervousness and shyness she'd been feeling. Kara puts her hands on Lena's hips and turns her around. She inspects Lena's lower back. There are a few small bruises. Kara moves down onto her knees. With only the tiniest amounts of freeze breath she blows onto Lena's skin. She sees Lena straighten her spine and hears her inhale deeply. Goose bumps appear on Lena's back.
Lena slowly turns around. "Thank you," she whispers.
As Kara moves back up, she takes Lena into her arms, making sure to put one arm beneath and the other above the bruised lower back. Then, ever so slowly, she lifts the two of them off the floor. As soon as Lena realizes what's happening, she wraps her arms tightly around Kara's neck. When their feet are several inches off the floor, Kara moves their bodies into a horizontal position and starts floating over the bed until Lena's head is directly above one of her pillows. Kara slowly puts Lena down, while she remains suspended a couple of inches above her.
Lena looks enraptured. She presses herself up onto her elbows and softly kisses Kara's lips. Then she lies down again and simply observes Kara for a few moments as her eyes fill up with love and tenderness. Then Lena's eyes turn dark once more. She pushes herself up on her elbows and kisses Kara again. She puts her hand at the back of Kara's head and pulls Kara towards her. As their lips touch, Kara allows her body to slowly move onto Lena's. At once she's aware of Lena's soft, cool belly against her own skin. It feels intoxicating.
Kara moves her hands underneath Lena's back and unclasps her bra. Then she quickly removes her own and lowers herself down again. She kisses Lena's neck as she feels Lena's fingers caressing her back. Kara breathes in Lena's smell and then pushes herself up and to look down at Lena for a moment. Her eyes are met with so much love and desire. For a moment they simply smile at each other, as if they both can't quite believe this is happening. Then Lena pulls Kara's head towards her and kisses her deeply.
As they continue to kiss, Kara feels Lena's fingers press hard into her back. Lena tilts her groin upwards into Kara and lets it fall down again. Kara realizes how wet she's become. Again and again, Kara's tongue crashes into Lena's. When finally Kara moves her head back for a moment, Lena immediately puts her tongue and mouth on Kara's neck.
Kara slides her hands down Lena's sides until she reaches the top of Lena's pants. With Lena still kissing her all over her neck, Kara slowly pushes herself up until she sits straddling Lena.
Kara moves slightly lower down and unzips Lena's pants.
Then she gets up off the bed and slowly takes off Lena's pants. Lena observes her the whole time, breathing shallowly. When Kara moves her hands back to Lena's hips, Lena lifts up her buttocks, making it easy for Kara to remove her panties. When Lena is fully unclothed, Kara removes her own pants, socks and underwear and climbs back onto the bed, softly kissing Lena's belly all the way up to her breasts. She caresses a nipple with her tongue and then moves on to the other.
When Kara finally moves her head back up, she sees that Lena has closed her eyes and is gently holding on to the comforter. As Kara moves further up and feels the skin of Lena's belly against her own again, she realizes how cold Lena is.
"Let's move under the covers," she whispers as she looks into Lena's eyes.
Lena slowly nods. She kisses Kara one more time and says, "Move up."
Kara gives her a nonplussed look.
"Up," Lena repeats and she makes an upward movement with her chin.
Finally grasping what Lena means, Kara allows herself to float up into the air. Lena smiles and crawls from underneath her and slides off the bed. She moves the sheet and comforter to the foot of the bed and looks up at Kara. "All done," she says. Kara waits for Lena to returns to bed, but Lena shakes her head.
Knowing exactly what Lena wants, Kara lowers herself onto the bed and turns onto her back. Lena moves onto the bed again from the foot of the bed, taking the sheet and comforter with her as she moves on top of Kara.
With the sheet and comforter fully covering her back, Lena moves down a bit and kisses Kara's collarbone, then a nipple. She pushes herself up and cups Kara's breasts in her hands before moving her hands down Kara's ribcage. She looks at Kara with awe.
Then Lena moves down again and takes Kara's wrists and puts them above Kara's head. She intertwines their fingers and slowly moves her head down and kisses Kara deeply and confidently. As they kiss, Kara moves her body up and up, craving the contact with Lena's skin.
Soon their kisses become more and more passionate and Kara feels herself getting wetter and wetter.
She tries to move her groin against Lena's lower body, but it's not enough. She moves her face to the side to unlock their lips and moans, "Lena, please."
Lena lets go of Kara's hands and moves her own hands under the covers. Kara gently opens her legs for Lena. A fingers moves across her wetness a few times, slowly and deliberately. Kara's body shakes in response to Lena's touch and her breathing becomes more and more erratic.
Then one of Lena's fingertips finds Kara's clit and gently moves across it, back and forth. Kara grabs hold of Lena, pressing her fingers into Lena's upper back, no longer scared to be hurting Lena. Kara closes her eyes as her breathing becomes even more labored.
Lena slowly moves a finger inside Kara. Kara feels herself contract around it. Lena curls her finger and moves it out. Then she takes a second finger and moves both of them inside. This time she leaves them inside as she curls and uncurls them. Each time, Kara feels herself contract around Lena's fingers. Kara tilts her pelvis up and down.
Then Lena moves her fingers in and out as she runs them against Kara's clit and back inside.
Lena continues this for a while, until she suddenly slows down the rhythm while pushing herself up slightly with her other hand. She moves her mouth onto Kara's and at once Kara opens her mouth and crashes her tongue into Lena's. They kiss deeply for a few moments as Lena continues to slowly moves her fingers inside Kara and across her clit.
Then Lena moves her head back next to Kara's and picks up the rhythm again. As Lena's fingers move in and out of her, a deep moan escapes Kara's lips. She moves her own hands onto Lena's buttocks, squeezes them for a moment, and then moves her hands back up.
Lena continues to move two fingers inside of Kara, curling them before taking them out and moving them across Kara's clit. When it's clear Kara is about to come, Lena puts a finger of her second hand on Kara's clit while continuing to enter her with the fingers of her other hand. Both her hands pick up speed. Kara's moaning becomes louder and louder until suddenly her whole body contracts around Lena's fingers. Kara's holds on to Lena for dear life. For a moment her whole body shakes. Then, finally, every muscle in her body relaxes. Kara lets herself fall back onto the mattress. She is still panting. Lena slowly moves off her.
Lena lies on her side facing Kara, putting a hand on Kara belly that is still shaking slightly. With the other hand she lovingly strokes Kara's hair. After lying like that for a few minutes, Kara looks over at Lena and turns onto hair side as well, taking Lena into her arms, pressing their bodies close together.
When they finally let go, Lena looks Kara into the eye and says earnestly, "If you're tired, we can just …," but Kara doesn't let her finish.
"Are you crazy?", she says.
Lena smiles.
And just like that Kara sees the desire return to Lena's eyes. Still on their sides, they share a few long, deep kisses. Then Kara gently moves on top of Lena. She sits up, looking down at Lena who puts her hands on Kara's abs. Lena smiles broadly. Kara moves her face down to Lena's belly and then, gently blowing cold air onto Lena's skin, lingering over her nipples, moves up. As the cold air hits her, Lena moans softly.
When Kara's faces hovers over Lena's again, Kara holds off on kissing her. Lena tries to move her lips against Kara's. And again. Failing, Kara sees Lena's desire for her increase tenfold. The look in Lena's eyes makes Kara wet all over again. When Kara finally gives in, their kisses are frantic. Lena opens her legs. As Kara continues to kiss Lena, she gently moves her hand down and touches Lena between her legs. When she feels Lena open her legs even wider, she gently move a finger inside of her.
"Yes," Lena moans into her ear.
Kara at once takes another finger moves it rhythmically in and out of Lena. Lena places her opens hands next to her face in a posture of complete surrender. Her eyes are closed, her head tilted back. Kara moves her fingers out of Lena and gently rubs her clit.
Soon, Kara has a nice rhythm going, moving in and out of Lena with two fingers and rubbing her clit.
Lena continues to moan gently.
When Kara next slides her fingers back in, she moves her fingers in different ways, observing Lena to see what she likes. Once she starts making rough circular motions interspersed with a curling and moving up of the fingers, Lena's moans become louder and louder. Lena grabs hold of her pillow as Kara sticks with those movements while increasing their speed. Occasionally she moves her fingers out of Lena to rub her clit, before quickly putting them back in.
Kara continues until she realizes Lena is on the brink of orgasm. She picks up the speed one more time and as the waves of her orgasm hit her, Lena lets go of the pillow and grabs hold of Kara's back. Kara doesn't move until she feels the pressure of Lena's fingers on her back decrease. Slowly, Kara moves off her. She looks at Lena. There are tears in her eyes. For a split second, Kara is worried she did something wrong. But there's such love and gratitude in Lena's eyes that she soon lets go of that worry.
"You okay?", she nevertheless asks. Lena simply smiles and nods. Kara lets herself fall onto her back. As she does so, Lena turns onto her side, puts an arms across Kara's ribcage and puts her head on Kara's shoulder. As she presses her body into Kara's side she whispers softly, "I love you, Kara Zor-El."
