Zari rolled over in bed and stared up at the ceiling. She knew what day it was, but a part of her wished she could stay in bed and hide from it all. Even if it meant sacrificing her future and her place in America. She was used to the anxieties that came with trying to get up in the morning.
Yet, there was always one thing that never failed to get her up, coffee and donuts. Yesterday, she had gone to the best donut place in Star City and waited in line for an hour just to be able to get one donut. She had carefully packaged it up and placed it in the fridge for today, and she had dreamed of a powder and raspberry sauce all night. It was the one thing that got her to roll out of bed and walk down the stairs, even if she was still a zombie.
Which was why she didn't hear Sara, Sin, and Behrad, already chatting away in the kitchen with a sizzling breakfast of eggs and pancakes. Zari stopped in her tracks when she saw Sara standing at the stove.
"Good morning Zari," Behrad cheerfully greeted her, holding up his plate of pancakes. "Aunt Sara made breakfast."
"I can see that," Zari said, walking into the kitchen. "You know, when I gave you a key for emergency purposes, this isn't what I had in mind."
Sara just shrugged, one hand on her back and the other holding a spatula as she flipped another pancake onto the plate. "Someone's gotta keep you on track this morning and Ray was the first one to offer, so I thought I'd save you the cheery trouble."
Zari nodded but ignored the pancakes and went to retrieve her donut from the fridge, only to find that it was not there. She quickly spun around, ready to yell at whoever ate it, but Sara pointed towards the box on the counter.
"I saw it in the fridge when I was getting things ready and so I put it on the counter to warm it up for you."
Zari's anger died on her lips and she gave Sara a warm smile. "Thank you."
Sara just smiled at her and placed a spatula of eggs onto a plate next to the turkey bacon. "Eat something other than sugar, you're gonna need it. No matter how nervous you are you should eat."
Zari nodded and took the plate as Sara grabbed a plate for herself and sat down next to her.
"May we be excused?" Behrad asked, looking up from his empty plate.
"Put your dishes in the dishwasher first and thank Sara for making breakfast, then you may go," Zari nodded at him.
Sin and Behrad quickly did as they were told and put their dishes away. Sin rushed over, putting both of their hands on Sara's belly and placing a kiss on her cheek.
"Thank you, Mommy."
Behrad leaned over as well and kissed Sara's cheek. "Thank you, Aunt Sara."
"You guys are very welcome," Sara said as they quickly rushed off. "I'll be up in a few minutes and you two will need to start getting ready."
Zari smiled and watched them go. It was as if it was just another morning. However, the bag of makeup sitting on the counter with the shoebox and Sara's dress hung up on the door said otherwise.
"Are you okay?" Sara asked, putting a hand on her back and rubbing in slow circles. "You've turned pale all of a sudden."
"I'm fine," Zari said, taking a bite of her donut and trying to get lost in the sweet raspberry taste.
"It's okay to be anxious. I'd be worried if you weren't," Sara said as she continued to rub up and down Zari's spine in a comforting way. "I see how happy Amaya makes you and how happy you are together. Just think about that and focus on Amaya. Before you know it, you'll be at the reception eating cake and laughing and you won't remember a single thing that was said at the ceremony."
"That sounds like some good experience talking," Zari smiled and looked over at Sara.
"Well, I have done this before," Sara said with a knowing smile.
"Yeah, and you just about fainted at the altar and Leonard lost his voice trying to say his vows," Zari said, remembering the eventful ceremony at her friend's wedding years ago.
"Shut up," Sara said, moving her hand from Zari's back and giving her a little shove. "I was pregnant and Leonard was never good at public speaking. Besides, we still got married, but all I remember from that night was dancing in his arms, knowing he was mine forever and it made everything worth it."
Zari nodded, she could make it through the ceremony if she focused on Amaya, besides she didn't have a choice that she wanted to stay in America.
Amaya woke up with a smile on her face. It was her wedding day. She rolled over and looked at her wedding dress that was hung up in her closet. She couldn't help but smile wider. She was so excited for this day and it was finally here! She was marrying Zari and it was a dream come true.
She jumped out of bed and pulled the dress off the rack, before laying it on her bed. Amaya unzipped the garment bag and pulled out the dress, just staring at it. It was so beautiful and she was so excited. Amaya couldn't wait to get dressed and spend all day in it, but first, she knew that she had to eat something.
Amaya danced around her room as she floated into the bathroom. She quickly checked the knots that Kendra had put in last night and undid one to see the little curls wrap around her finger. She then washed her face, before practically floating on air as she walked down the hall. Amaya wasn't surprised to see Kendra in her kitchen cooking as both kids played in the living room.
"Happy wedding day," Kendra smiled, placing a plate of quiche at the counter for her.
"Thank you," Amaya said as she sat down at the counter and took a bite of the quiche.
"You've got that bridal glow," Kendra said as she looked over at Amaya.
"I feel like a glowing bride and I'm just so excited. I don't know how I can wait till this afternoon."
"Well, there's a lot to do before then, so it'll definitely fly by," Kendra said, putting down the pot holders and turning off the oven, before calling the kids for breakfast.
They quickly ate and went straight back to the bathroom to get ready. Kendra took out her curls as Amaya applied her moisturizer. The whole time they got ready, Amaya kept smiling. She was unable to believe that this was her reality. Every time she calmed down, something would make her smile and she would fall into another fit of giggles like a school child. Amaya was just so happy. She couldn't wait to walk down the aisle and marry Zari.
"Amaya you need to stay still," Kendra said, smiling as she pulled the mascara wand back, narrowly missing her nose.
"Sorry," Amaya said, trying to school her features and hold still as Kendra quickly applied the mascara and pulled back.
"It's okay to be excited, and I'm happy that you are so happy. Even if things are a little rushed, I know the two of you are sure about this. You and Zari are meant for each other even if it took you a little while to figure it out," Kendra teased as she leaned down to wrap her arms around Amaya's shoulders, giving them a squeeze.
Amaya smiled and hugged Kendra before she pulled back. Kendra finished her makeup and spun her around to look at it in the mirror. Amaya smiled as she saw how beautiful she was and looked down at the ring on her finger. Even though they had started out doing this so Zari could stay in the U.S.. Amaya was doing this now because she truly loved Zari and she would spend the rest of her days protecting her.
As soon as Sara finished applying her makeup and put the curlers in Zari's hair they rushed out of the house to make it to the venue on time. Ava greeted them in a foyer with a clipboard and pen and smiled when she saw Sara. Sara was wearing a high waisted pleated dark blue dress that flowed over her and went down to her ankles. It matched Ava's dark navy suit that had a plunging neckline and was without an undershirt, that had drawn Sara's eyes.
"We're gonna go find Kuasa, Gary, and Aldus," Behrad said, running off with Sin before anyone could protest.
"You look beautiful," Ava sighed as she leaned down to put one hand on Sara's waist as she tilted her head for a quick kiss. "But you're behind schedule. Some early guests have arrived and Amaya and Kendra are already here. They're in the room down the hall on your left and you two are on the right."
"Don't worry, we'll be ready to walk down the aisle right on time," Sara reassured her as she patted Ava's cheek and Ava smiled as she leaned into her touch.
"Oh I see one of the brides is running late, I hope it doesn't throw off the whole wedding." Damien Darhk's voice dripped with sarcasm, cold as ice.
Zari twirled around to see him standing there as he walked through the door as if he was just another guest.
"Mr. Darhk, I don't believe I received your RSVP," Ava said, pulling out her clipboard as she stepped in front of Zari and Sara.
"Oh well, I'm my daughter Nora's plus one see here," Darhk said, pulling out the RSVP card with a checkmark on the plus one.
"Nora is Ray Palmer's plus one," Ava said, walking up and taking the card from his hand. "I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to…"
"Oh yes that Raymond fellow, well that's another matter, but that's not the reason I'm here," Darhk said, as he looked pointedly over at Zari.
Sara wrapped a protective arm around Zari's waist, her eyes like daggers as she glared at Darhk. "You need to leave now."
"Oh well, then how would I know if this lovely bride gets properly married? We wouldn't want to screw up anything with immigration, now would we, Miss Tomaz?" Darkh said with a dark tone as he turned around to introduce his friend. "You've met my friend here Adrian Chase, he works at the local immigration office and is interested to see your case be presented next week."
"It's nice to meet you Miss Tomaz, and congratulations on this wonderful occasion," Adrian said, holding out his hand. "I look forward to presiding over your case next week after you get back from your honeymoon, of course."
It took everything inside of Zari to shake Adrian's hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you as well."
"Well, we really are on a tight schedule," Ava said, stepping in and turning Zari and Sara towards the dressing room.
Zari and Sara walked down the hall in silence as Sara guided her into the room. Zari sat down on the first chair she saw and Sara put her dress on the rack, before turning and locking the door.
"Hey it's okay," Sara said, looking over at her and leaning down and to put her hands over Zari's. "It's just an intimidation tactic, but it's nothing we have to worry about. You and Amaya are in love and that's why you're getting married, it's all legal. Just focus on Amaya. All you have to do is get married to Amaya."
Zari just looked at Sara, had no idea how she was supposed to walk down the aisle with Darkh breathing down her neck. How could she do this to Amaya? Amaya who was so perfect and selfless, Amaya who was helping her and getting all tangled up in something that wasn't her fault. Zari knew the penalty for a fake Green Card marriage and Amaya could go to jail.
Zari looked up and saw an envelope waiting for her on the vanity. Her name was written in Amaya's beautiful and perfect cursive handwriting, and Zari flipped it over to open it. Inside was a simple note that read.
'I can't wait to see you walk down the aisle, my beautiful bride. Just know that I am so happy to be doing this. I love you so much. - Amaya.'
Zari took a deep breath and took a moment to center herself. Amaya knew what she was getting herself into and Sara was right, it was just an intimidation tactic. They were doing the right thing and all she had to do was sign the marriage license.
"I can marry Amaya," Zari said with a nod.
"Don't worry about anything else, Amaya, Kendra, Ava, and I are going to take care of it," Sara said with a nod as she gave Zari's hands a squeeze.
Zari stood up and went over to the garment bag. She unzipped it and pulled out the two-piece White Satin suit. Zari let her fingers drift over the fabric and pulled the pants off of the hanger before she quickly put them on. She took the jacket and pulled it on her shoulders. She pushed up the sleeves to her elbows, before turning to look in the mirror. She was ready. She sat down at the vanity and Sara started to undo the curlers from her hair. Zari was ready to be a bride, she was going to walk down the aisle and marry Amaya.
"It's going to be okay," Zari whispered to herself in the mirror, her lips moved but she didn't hear the words.
Sara caught her eyes in the mirror and leaned down to tickle the back of her neck, making her smile. "There, that's what a bride should look like. It's your wedding day. You should be happy."
Zari tried to keep a smile on her lips as she nodded, but it faded a little at the edges. She found herself fidgeting with her fingers as a knot formed in the pit of Zari's stomach.
Everything was ready, everyone was in place. Zari stood in the hall and looked down at Behrad. They were the first to walk down and she took his arm. Behrad smiled up at her as they stepped forward. It was a short trip down the aisle and soon she stood next to Ray, who was set to officiate for them.
Then Zari watched as first Kendra and Sara, then Aldus rolled down with Sin, and finally Kuasa walked down the aisle. She couldn't help but catch a glimpse of Amaya as she waited in the hall. For a moment, Zari forgot everything as she saw Amaya peak around the corner. Once Kuasa got to the end of the aisle, Mick kissed Amaya's cheek. The music changed and it was Amaya's turn.
Zari looked over at all of her friends and family as they stood. They all looked so happy for her, everyone was smiling, some of them even had a few tears. 'Just look at Amaya,' she said to herself as she looked over at her beautiful bride. Holding on to Mick's arm, Amaya looked so beautiful, her tight curls cascaded down her back like a waterfall. Amaya's dress fell around her with its long train. It had a V neck lace bodice with short lace sleeves that brushed over her shoulders. The skirt was long and slim, but full and flowed down her waist, accented by her long train. She was so beautiful that it was breathtaking. Amaya looked like the sun, warm and beautiful, but all Zari could think about was Damian Darhk.
Zari looked back at Damien Darhk and Adrian Chase next to him. He gave her a hellish smile and a wink. She could feel her heart beating faster and suddenly she felt overwhelmingly hot. She was gonna get caught, and it would be all her fault. She would drag Amaya and Behrad and Kuasa down with her.
She couldn't do it. Zari couldn't do it. She couldn't ruin their lives. She saw Amaya's face fall as she shook her head.
"I'm sorry," Zari whispered before she ran off.
She heard the uproar of everyone talking as she ran off. She ran back down the hall and into her dressing room, slamming the door shut behind her. The plan now was just to grab her bag and leave. She could disappear for a few days and then come back and get Behrad and they could start over somewhere else. Zari looked around the dressing room. She had a suitcase packed for the honeymoon, so all she had to do was get it and go. She grabbed it and double checked that everything was there, then she heard a knock at the door.
"Zari it's me, please let me in and we can just talk." Amaya pleaded to her from outside the door.
Zari could hear multiple people talking as Amaya knocked on her door again, trying to get her to come out. She looked around the little room. There was a window, but it was just a single pane of glass and there was no way to open it. She looked around again, there was no way of getting out without going through her friends and she knew she could never face them.
Everyone else continued to knock and try to talk to her, but Zari just sat down on the chair. She put her knees up to her chest and her hand over her face as she just sat there and cried. She cried for her life, and she cried for Behrad and Amaya and for the mess she had made of everything. When she finally cried herself out, she looked up to hear that they had stopped knocking and it was silent. She reached for a tissue and wiped her face.
Suddenly she heard the door handle rattle. Before Zari could react or protest, the door opened and Sara slipped in with a small plate. She gave Zari a knowing smile and came to sit down next to her.
"I brought you a donut," Sara said, holding out the plate to her. On it were three powdered jelly donuts, her favorite.
Zari just shook her head and looked down at her hands. For the first time, she wasn't in the mood for donuts.
"I'd tell you a story about my wedding day, but this doesn't feel like wedding nerves," Sara said, looking more pointedly over at her. "This feels like you're second guessing the whole thing."
"I can't do this to Amaya," Zari looked down at the tissue in her hand. "I can't do this. I can't get her tangled up in things that are my fault."
Sara shrugged and offered her the plate, but Zari shook her head.
"Well, if you're not going to eat this I am," Sara said, picking up one of the donuts and taking a bite of it. Sara sat down next to her and they just sat together in silence as Sara ate her donut.
Zari gave in and took one of the donuts, shoving it in her mouth. It was perfect, just like Amaya, and just like everything she had ruined. She didn't chew properly and quickly swallowed. The donut formed a ball in her throat and she choked it down. As she coughed, Sara handed her a glass of water and patted her back. Once it went down, Sara put the donut plate down on the table next to them and Zari stared down at the glass of water.
"If you had to permanently tie yourself to Ava in order to protect yourself and Sin, would you do it?" Zari said as she looked over at Sara.
She tried not to sound desperate, but she was desperate. For any way that she could do this without feeling like she was sinking to the bottom of the ocean. With a chain around her wrist and Amaya willingly tying herself to Zari.
Sara just smiled, she stood up and put one hand on her ribs and with the other, she held her dress tightly against her lower abdomen to outline her rounded belly. Zari looked down at her stomach and then up at Sara.
"You've gained weight, that's your answer?" Zari asked, throwing up her hands. "I mean, I know you've been hitting the sweets pretty hard, but I don't see how this relates to anything,"
"I'm not fat!" Sara said, smacking Zari's arm before she grabbed Zari's hand and put it on her belly. Zari looked up at her, not sure what Sara was doing until she felt a jab against her hand and her eyes went wide. "I'm twenty weeks pregnant. Ava and I are having a baby. So yeah, we're tied together for the next eighteen years at least."
Zari's jaw dropped as suddenly everything clicked. She looked at Sara's belly again and saw the clear outline of her pregnancy as Sara's baby kicked her hand again. "You're pregnant, pregnant with Ava's baby. Wait, what, Ava got you pregnant? Is she trans and at twenty weeks, that's like five months, which means you've been pregnant practically the entire time you and Ava have been together and you hid it from all of us?"
Sara just nodded as she sat back down next to Zari, with one hand on her belly.
"I found out the day you and Amaya got engaged. We had to figure everything out pretty quickly and we've recently decided to move in together. When Ava and I met we just jumped right in and things happened so quickly. Before I knew it I was pregnant, but it worked out. Our kids love each other like siblings and we're a family. Ava and I have taken the time to slowly fall in love too. So even though you're rushing to the altar, you and Amaya have done the same. I've seen you two fall in love with each other throughout this whole thing and you can make it work."
"It's not just that," Zari sighed, shaking her head and looking down at her hands covered in white powdered sugar. "If I don't marry Amaya, ICE is going to deport me."
"Oh Zari," Sara said, looking over at her and grabbing her hand to squeeze it tightly.
"I can't do this to her," Zari said, shaking her head. "I can't put her through all of this."
"You don't really have a choice," Sara said, tilting her head from side to side and looking at Zari. "I know it doesn't seem that easy, but it is. Like you said, if you don't get married ICE is going to take you away, but you don't have to worry about Amaya. She doesn't do anything without knowing the risk first. She did this knowing everything that came with it. Regardless of that, she's crazy in love with you and she is doing this willingly."
"But I could change my name and leave and go, somewhere."
"And live your whole life on the run? Is that really what you want to do Zari?" Sara said looking over at her with a raised eyebrow.
"Well, what did you do when you found out you were pregnant, surely you didn't just jump into Ava's arms and have an instant family?"
"No, I freaked out after the test turned positive. I didn't even consider keeping them until I talked with Ava. Once I did tell her, she agreed to help me if I kept it. We talked everything over and we both knew what we were getting into with this baby. It made things easier to know that I had someone to support me. I know that you have talked this over with Amaya, she's here to support you, and Kendra and I are here too."
"Thanks," Zari nodded, giving Sara a small smile and squeezing her hand. "She was the one who suggested we get married."
"Well, there you go. You know Amaya is on your side and she knows what she's getting into," Sara said as she stood up and turned around to offer her hand to Zari. "Now, all you have to do is marry Amaya and live happily ever after, which I don't think will be too hard."
Zari took a deep breath and took Sara's hand. She stood up on her own so Sara didn't have to bear her weight. Sara grabbed a tissue and wiped her eyes before reapplying her makeup. The mascara Sara had applied was waterproof, so she didn't have black tear stains on her cheeks. Zari took one look in the mirror. The evidence of her tears were gone and she ran her hands over her suit before they walked back out into the hall.
Kendra, Amaya, Ava, and the kids were all standing in the hall talking to each other. The minute Amaya saw her, she pulled Zari into a hug.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah," Zari said as she held Amaya, perhaps a little too tightly, as all she could do was cling to her. When Zari pulled back and untangled herself from Amaya, she held her hands and looked into her eyes. "Amaya, are you sure you want to do this?"
"Yes," Amaya said in a firm voice as she squeezed Zari's hands. "I love you Zari and I'd go to the ends of the Earth to protect you. Let me protect you so that you can stay here in America with me and Behrad."
"Okay," Zari nodded, letting out a breath and smiling.
"All right, everyone lets have a wedding," Sara said, clapping her hands and ushering everybody back into the main room.
Every moment of the day was seared into Zari's memory. She didn't look at anyone else as Amaya walked down the aisle. She let herself get lost in Amaya and it took Zari's breath away. She barely heard a saying that the officiant said or the passages Imam read as they performed the Nikah. She felt like she couldn't breathe until they finally signed the marriage certificate. As soon as she put her pen down Amaya grabbed her hand and the officiant announced them as wife and wife.
Amaya wrapped her arms around Zari's neck and leaned in to kiss her. It was then that Zari smiled into Amaya's lips and she felt like she was floating on air as they kissed. The only thing that mattered in the world was Amaya's lips on hers.
They danced down the aisle to the music that filled her ears and Amaya's hand clutched her hand as if she would never let go. Zari caught Darkh's glare as they walked and saw Mick and Nate approach him from behind. Darkh was thrown out of the reception with little fuss, along with all of Zari's worries. For the rest of the night, she smiled as they ate and listened to speeches and kissed Amaya.
As the party wrapped up, they stayed on the dance floor wrapped in each other's arms as they swayed. Zari put her chin on Amaya's shoulder and Amaya wrapped her arms around her waist and laid her head on Zari's chest. Amaya gently played with the hairs on the back of Zari's neck as she hummed to the lyrics of the song as they pressed up against each other. Zari was so absolutely content and happy in Amaya's arms as they kept dancing just for one more song.
She heard Behrad's laughter and opened her eyes to see him run past, quickly chased by Sin, Gary, Kuasa, and Aldus. She watched as they ran in between the tables and eventually settled on an empty table. Kendra and Carter were off to the side as they sat next to each other gently whispering as they smiled. She looked over as Sara and Ava swayed next to them. Ava had her arms wrapped around Sara from behind and both of them were cradling Sara's belly as they pressed cheek to cheek. Zari closed her eyes and got lost in Amaya's arms again. Everything felt right and as of tonight, she was safe in Amaya's arms.
"You two better get going if you're going to make it to the hotel before midnight," Kendra said, gently placing a hand on Zari's shoulders.
Amaya nodded as they let Kendra whisk them away. Zari's car had been wonderfully decorated with cans, balloons, and so many rose petals that she knew she'd never get them out of her back seat.
"You be good for Kendra and Sara," Amaya said, leaning down to hold Kuasa's cheeks and press a kiss to her forehead.
"You too buddy," Zari said, running her fingers through Behrad's hair before he pushed her hand off.
"We will. We promise," Behrad said, fixing his hair again as he shooed Zari away.
"Here you'll need this," Sara said, handing her a small box. Zari opened it up and to her horror inside was a pack of dental dams, lube, condoms, lace panties, and a vibrator.
"Sara!" Zari yelled, shutting the box as Amaya laughed. Kendra and Ava, who had also gotten a glimpse of the box, giggled as well.
"Trust me, you'll need it, especially if you don't want to take home an extra wedding present," Sara said with raised eyebrows as she rubbed her belly.
Zari just stood there mortified as Amaya laughed, She took the box from her hand and shoved it into the back seat. "We don't have to worry about a baby, but the protection is appreciated."
"True, but there are some other things that I'm sure you'll enjoy."
"Okay, enough teasing," Ava said, putting her arms around Sara's waist. "Let them go enjoy their honeymoon."
They both got in the car and looked back at everyone as they waved them away. The kids threw petals at the car as they pulled by the venue. Before Zari pulled the car onto the road, she looked over at Amaya and smiled. Amaya leaned in to kiss her just because she could, before she pulled back, but held her hand as they drove.
Instead of a full vacation, they had settled on a few days at a hotel in the mountain that overlooked a waterfall. It was a short drive and the concierge got them all settled before he took them up to the honeymoon suite. It was a beautiful big room with a large bed and hot tub, and a balcony overlooking the falls, and Zari could hear the roar of the waterfall. As soon as the concierge left, Amaya grabbed Zari's hand and smiled at her, Amaya's eyes heavy and hot as she pulled Zari towards the bed. Zari focused on the way that Amaya looked at her, so in awe and in love that it made Zari's heart flutter.
Amaya pulled her over and Zari sat on the bed before Amaya settled herself in Zari's lap, grabbing a hold of both of her hands. "Are you ready?"
Zari leaned in and kissed Amaya, letting all of her passion pour out from her lips. "I want you."
Amaya smiled into the kiss and she and Zari fell back onto the bed. Amaya reached for the hem of Zari's shirt, pulling it over her head. She tossed it aside and reached down to pull her own top off, having forgone a bra, Amaya was half nude sitting in her lap. Zari's breath hitched as she took in the sight of Amaya's breasts. Beautifully round with perked nipples, Zari reached out to trace the bones of Amaya's chest. Tracing the little scar on Amaya's breastbone all the way down to her waist and her small belly button that was as cute as she was. Amaya had always been fit and toned as she worked out regularly. Suddenly, Zari felt self conscious about the stomach fat that she carried, mostly from all the donuts she ate.
Zari looked up to see that Amaya was just as much in awe of her as Zari was. Amaya leaned down and let her lips trace their way across Zari's skin. She gently pressed kisses to her collarbone and her breast, gently taking them into her mouth and lightly sucking each nipple until it was hard. When she pulled away, cold air on her wet nipples made Zari shiver. Amaya continued to trace her body with her lips. Going down her abdomen, brushing against her navel and continuing to her waistband, where Amaya once again stopped and looked up at Zari for permission.
Zari nodded and Amaya carefully slipped her fingers under the hem of Zari's pants, pulling them down. Amaya had them off quicker than Zari realized she would and she was soon sitting in between Zari's knees. Amaya held her calves as she looked up at her again and Zari breathed heavily as she carefully parted her knees. Amaya gasped at the sight of Zari's wet folds, and smiled brightly, gently placing a kiss to her pubic bone at the top of her folds.
Zari leaned her head back as Amaya licked her way down, spreading Zari's hairy folds to make room for her tongue as she gently lapped her up. Amaya had quite the talented tongue. Slowly licking Zari's clit in gentle, slow, and steady strokes. She slowly worked her up and up, she took two fingers and gently explored Zari's opening. Amaya glanced up at her as Zari nodded eagerly before Amaya slid the fingers inside her. Zari began to gently roll her hips as Amaya continued with her steady pace.
"I'm, I'm so close," Zari panted.
Amaya continued with her pace, slowly working her over. Zari's breathing became erratic and she could feel herself clinch up before her pleasure came to a head. Zari came, spilled over with a gush of warm fluid onto Amaya's tongue.
Zari withered on the bed as Amaya licked her through it. Amaya pulled back and wiped her chin, which was dripping with Zari's fluids, on the back of her hand. Zari reached down and pulled her up until she was sitting on her lap as they both fiddled with the waistband of Amaya's pants.
It wasn't exactly the best position, Zari couldn't just pull her pants down and instead, Amaya pulled back, taking her pants off before going back to sit on Zari's lap.
"What do you want?" Zari asked, looking up at Amaya, her hands firm on her waist.
Amaya smiled and guided her fingers to her wet folds, taking Zari's fingers and pushing them to her labia, parting her pubic hair and finding her vulva. Amaya lifting up her hips.
"I want to ride your fingers."
How could Zari say no to that? Zari pushed two fingers into Amaya and stroked her clit with her thumb. Amaya's vagina was soft and warm as Zari stroked her vaginal walls. Amaya began to set a gentle pace as she rocked on Zari's fingers. As she went up and down Zari thrust in and out in time with her hips. With her other hand, Zari gripped Amaya's hips, holding them in place as she thrust into her.
Amaya moaned and clenched around her fingers, getting wetter and wetter as Zari's ministrations continued. She brought her fingers out and Amaya whined, chasing her with her hips as Zari circled two fingers around her clit, teasing her. Amaya opened her eyes to see the smirk on Zari's face. Amaya moved her hands to the base of Zari's neck and tangled them in her hair as she pulled her forward into a kiss.
Zari forgot to breathe as Amaya kissed her. She continued the circle with her fingers around Amaya's clit and brought her other hand down to push two fingers back inside of her. Amaya broke off their kiss with a moan and she settled her head on Zari's shoulder. Zari quickened her pace, she could tell from Amaya's breathing that she must be close.
Amaya whined the closer she got to coming, catching her breath as Zari filled her with a particularly strong thrust of her fingers, as she groaned into Zari's shoulder. Amaya came with a long and heavy sigh, as she clenched around Zari's fingers and a flood of fluids rushed over Zari's hand. Amaya came down from her orgasm, sitting on Zari's lap. As Zari pulled her fingers away, Amaya untangled her hands from Zari's hair and pulled her into a hug. Amaya gently kissed from her shoulder up her neck to her lips, before settling her head back on Zari's shoulder as they both settled into the afterglow.
They both settled on the bed and Zari turned to watch her as Amaya smiled. Zari loved that smile and more so that Amaya hadn't stopped smiling since they got married. She was so happy, happy to be safe, happy to be here with Amaya. She didn't know how, but eventually, they both drifted off to sleep in each other's arms for the first time of many nights to come.
