Conversations on a Balcony
42
A/N: Adult theme but nothing graphic. Just a random question that turns into an interesting conversation.
Just as a further thought, there are a lot of fics that portray Kara as not having a lot of "experience", which is more than fine but not necessarily true. I feel like trying to fit in, mixed with her natural Kryptonian emotions and upbringing, may have given her more experiences than we sometimes give her credit for… so anyway, here we go.
It was a warm and breezy Saturday afternoon and Kara had carried her family-sized bag of chips out onto the bedroom balcony to snack on as she began updating her to-do list on her tablet. She could hear the sounds of the city floating to her and kept her ear out for anyone who might need help.
"Hey, Cat?" she called, propping her bare feet up on the rattan coffee table in front of her as an old memory came to mind.
"Yes?" Cat replied distractedly as she worked through editing the last paragraph of a feature for the magazine.
"Have you ever had a threesome? Or like... taken part in an orgy?"
For a moment Cat didn't answer, but then her eyebrows lifted as what her fiancée was asking sank in. She took off her glasses and set them on the arm of the chair she was sitting in, got up and wandered out into the sun to take a seat next to her lover and lean against her. Kara lifted her arm and snuggled Cat against her, holding her close.
"Um... that's an interesting, if somewhat out-of-the-blue, question," the older woman said slowly.
"Is it too... personal a question?" Kara asked uncertainly.
Cat stole a chip and munched on it for a moment. "Not at all. You can ask me anything, Sweetheart, and I'll answer you honestly, but... I also want to make sure that, when you ask a question, you truly want to know the answer. You know about my husbands, but do you really want to know about my other sexual partners?"
"Oh," Kara murmured, looking down with a frown.
Cat smiled. "Totally your choice."
The younger woman looked back at her. "I kinda do want to know."
The CEO nodded. "Ok... Well... I've never taken part in an orgy but... yes, I have taken part in threesomes."
"And who were..." Kara paused. "Sorry, that's none of my business."
The older woman stroked her hand down her fiancée's chest, feeling the raised crest of her super suit underneath her button-down shirt. "It's ok. Between husbands, I had some on and off experiences but, most recently, it was me and two other women, in a safe and consensual environment. We had sex three times over the course of maybe two weeks."
"And that was it?" Kara asked, eyebrows lifting.
Cat chuckled. "Yes, that was it."
"Why?" the younger woman asked softly. "I mean, why so... finite? Did you not... like being with them?"
Cat leaned up and kissed her gently on the lips, enjoying the chips' saltiness on them as she playfully flicked her tongue. "It was because you and I fell asleep together one night on this very balcony and then finally started dating. I withdrew immediately from my arrangement with them because I wanted to only be with you." She tilted her head then, looking at her happily smiling lover. "Kara, are you asking me this because... you're interested in us being with other..."
"Noooooo!" Kara interrupted quickly. "No, Cat, you're ALL I need, and I don't want to share you. I was just curious."
The older woman nodded slowly. "Then tell me, Kara Danvers, have YOU ever taken part in a threesome or an orgy."
The hero chuckled softly. "Are YOU sure you want to know the answer to that?" she countered.
Cat nodded, smiling affectionately. "I'm sure."
"Like you said… never an orgy... but threesomes, yes. The woman I shared an apartment with and her boyfriend… they invited me to join them, probably a couple or three times a month, during our senior year at NCU."
"A whole year? Would you say you were in a polyamorous relationship with them?" Cat replied, slightly taken aback as she realized that was more experience than she had herself.
"No," Kara shrugged. "For me, it was just sex." She paused and pursed her lips. "But I think HE may have become a little obsessed with me. He started getting… enthusiastic… around me, even when we were just hanging out."
"Enthusiastic as in…" Cat started and then trailed off, eyebrows raised.
"Erections… as if he was sitting there, like… fantasizing about fucking me," Kara replied quietly, the memory obviously saddening her. "He finally crossed a boundary when he snuck into my bed one night and started to have sex with me while I was asleep." She sighed and looked down. "He tried to not take no for an answer, so I had to physically fight him off like a human female would. But I was mad and I accidentally broke his arm in the scuffle. Of course, then I had to tell my housemate why, and they ended up breaking up over it. It was a mess."
"I'm sorry, Sweetheart. That must have been awful," Cat said as she gently stroked the crinkle between Kara's brows with a fingertip. "Does it still bother you?"
"Not now," the younger woman replied with a shrug. "But it took a while for me to open up again."
Cat nodded understandingly and then took a deep breath. "Ok, so we're agreeing on no swinging or other such activities in our marriage?"
"We already have a threesome... if you include Supergirl," Kara teased, waggling her eyebrows. "But, yes, we're totally on the same page. Just you and me."
"Good." Cat smiled as she wrapped her arms around her lover's neck and hugged her hard.
