Conversations on a Balcony

81

A/N: So, I've caused a fair amount of trauma over the last ten chapters. Haha! So, this one is a kinda fluffy and smutty composition around Cat and Kara reconnecting on their wedding anniversary. Hope you enjoy!

Translations:

/zhaolia/: Sexy, hot, fuckable.


All marriages go through rough patches. Cat and Kara both knew that was true and they had quietly vowed to themselves that they'd be more aware and cognitive of the other's feelings, moving forward.

Kara kissed her wife awake early on the morning of their fifth wedding anniversary. Abby was with Alex and Kelly, and Kara had given Marla and the other staff at the penthouse the day off, so it was just herself and Cat alone in their home together.

"Good morning," the hero murmured as she nuzzled her wife's ear. "I need to pop out for a few minutes, but I'll be right back."

"M'kay," the older woman replied with a sleepy smile and then rolled over onto Kara's pillow to hug it and inhale her scent as the hero slid out of the bed and got into her super suit.

Thirty minutes later, Cat woke again to the scent of coffee, something sweet and something floral, that made her open her eyes. She grinned as she found her wife with a big smile on her face, holding three dozen red roses in one hand and a carrier with their favorite Noonan's coffee in her other. Beignets from their beloved coffee shop in Paris sat in the center of the carrier.

The older woman sat up with the sheet tucked against her chest and made playful grabby hands, making Kara come closer to their bed and set the carrier down on the nightstand. Then she got out of the suit and crawled, naked, onto the soft mattress to pass the flowers to her wife with a long, passionate kiss. "Happy anniversary," she said quietly as they eased apart.

"They're beautiful," Cat replied, heart melting at the look on her gorgeous wife's face. "Thank you, Baby. And happy anniversary to you too." Kara reached over to grab the coffee, but the older woman caught her hand and brought it to her lips to kiss it. Then she slowly leaned forward and let the sheet drop, baring her naked chest to her wife. "Breakfast can be reheated," she murmured as she liberated one of the roses from the bouquet and ran it slowly across her collar bones and around her breasts, leaving goosebumps in its wake.

Kara swallowed as her wife's nipples visibly hardened and, as Cat leaned back on her hands, with the rose between her teeth, the hero straddled her thighs and ducked her head to take one of them into her mouth, swirl her tongue around it and then suck gently. The older woman's head tipped back, and she moaned softly when Kara's mouth moved to her other breast. "I love you so much, Cat-El."

"I love you too, Kara Zor-El," Cat replied as she set the rose aside and brought her wife's face up with two fingers under her chin. She wrapped her arms around her neck to gaze into her eyes for a long moment, then tilted her head as tears welled in them. "What's wrong, Sweetheart?" she asked tenderly.

"That's just it," Kara replied joyfully. "Nothing is wrong. This feels so right, Cat. My therapist helped me to begin to see what's going on in my head. My relationship with you… our life together with our children… is not in any way the cause of what's going on with me."

The older woman nodded and trailed her lips slowly along her wife's jaw. "I think I knew that," she replied gently. "But it's really good to hear you say it. Did he say what he thinks the cause is?"

Kara nodded and pressed closer to her wife, taking a deep breath. "He thinks it's Survivor Syndrome. He says it jives with the insecurity, pain and fear that I'm feeling."

"Wow," Cat said softly. "He thinks you feel guilty for surviving Krypton's destruction." She kissed Kara's forehead. "But, Kara, you and Clark aren't the only survivors. You got your Mom back."

"I know," the hero replied, her voice small. "But I can't help but feel guilty for having so much when billions of people lost…" Her voice broke into a whisper. "Everything." She cleared her throat. "I'm learning to deal with it though. Gerry is teaching me how to heal and, in the meantime, how to cope."

"That's really great," Cat replied with a smile. She stroked her fingertips down her wife's cheeks. "You are the kindest, gentlest, most beautiful woman I've ever known, and I want to make love with you. Is that ok?"

"More than ok," the hero replied with a little grin.

"But before we do, I want to give you something, Kara." The hero nodded and Cat smiled happily. "Reach over into my nightstand. There's a small wooden box in it, pull it out and pass it to me please?"

Kara did as she was asked, waiting as Cat opened the box and then smiled at her again. "So…" she began. "Five years is a wooden anniversary which is why I have this in a wooden box."

Kara beamed at her and nodded. "Right."

"I realized a few weeks ago that, when we got married, we didn't really do anything to signify your Kryptonian culture, as such." The hero nodded but she didn't seem upset, so Cat went on. "You told me that Kryptonians don't bond with rings. Instead, they bond with bracelets." She pushed the box's lid all the way open to reveal its contents. Kara gasped, hand moving to her mouth and more tears welling in her eyes as they moved over the twin platinum twisted bracelets, embedded with two small diamonds and centered with a blue sapphire.

"Oh Cat, they're beautiful," the younger woman said, her voice trembling as much as her body.

Tears welled in Cat's eyes and she swallowed as she tried to maintain her composure. "The twist of the platinum represents our journey together. It's been sometimes complicated but we're on it together forever. And the sapphire just reminded me of your eyes. Your gorgeous blue eyes."

Kara grinned and nodded, making a tiny sound of pleasure.

"And on the inside," Cat tilted one of the bracelets a little. "The House of El crest is engraved because I'm a part of your family now, just as much as you're a part of mine. So," Cat cleared her throat. "I love you, Kara Danvers-Grant, and I'm recommitting to you right here and now." She took out one of the bracelets and slipped it onto Kara's right wrist, gently closing the strong clasp. Then she took out the other and closed it round her own wrist. "This is the right side, right?" she whispered, and Kara nodded happily. "I want us to be together forever, Kara." She leaned in for a kiss, but her wife leaned back a little with a huge smile.

"Since we're talking about forever," she said. "I have something for you too."

Kara reached over and opened the drawer of her own nightstand to pull out a smaller wooden box.

"Great minds think alike," Cat muttered with a little chuckle.

Kara's smile widened and she opened the box to take out a smaller velvet box, which she opened and turned to show to her wife. "I got this eternity ring for you a few weeks ago too because I wanted to give you a symbol of how I felt about our marriage." It was platinum to match her wife's wedding and engagement rings but, in the center, nestled among several tiny diamonds, was a beautifully cut emerald. "It matches your eyes too."

Cat was genuinely speechless, and she just gazed at her wife for a long moment. Then she swallowed and took a breath. "I fucking love it."

The younger woman's face beamed a huge smile, and she took the ring out of the box. "May I?"

"Of course," the older blonde replied, her face beaming in return.

Kara took Cat's left hand and slid her engagement ring off. She slid the eternity ring onto her finger and replaced the engagement ring, then lifted Cat's hand to her lips and kissed the rings, keeping her eyes locked on her wife's. "I'm recommitting to you right here and now, Cat Danvers-Grant. I love you and I want forever with you."

And then Cat was kissing her with a passion that ignited the same inside Kara. The older woman pushed her wife back onto the bed on her back and sprawled over her chest, kissing her deeply and running her hands desperately over her. Kara growled as Cat bit down on her bottom lip and tugged it, hand already moving to between her strong thighs, but Kara growled again. "No…" She rolled them over and took control, holding Cat's hands above her head as she straddled her thigh and grind her own down into her wife's center. The older woman gasped and closed her eyes, surrendering totally to her Kryptonian's strength. "Good," Kara praised. "You're so… /zhaolia/, Cat, and I'm going to make you mine."

"I'm… already… yours…" Cat gasped again as long, strong fingers pushed inside her, and a willing mouth pulled almost too roughly at her breasts. "Please, Kara. I need…"

But Kara knew exactly what her wife needed. She scooted back, leaned down and did something amazing with her tongue, moaning at the scent and taste of the older woman's arousal. Cat's eyes widened and then slammed shut again as her orgasm rose, crested and crashed over her. She shuddered hard and cried out, grasping into her wife's golden hair as she bucked against her mouth.

But Kara wasn't done. She rolled them over and scooted down again, groaning deeply as Cat sat on her face with her head tipped back. Kara held her wife's thighs as her tongue swirled around her clit and sent her over into a second climax, even more powerful than the first.

Over and over, Kara made her wife come and finally, when she was so crazy with need that she couldn't stand it anymore, she let Cat touch her. Her release was epic, and she cried out so loudly with pleasure that Cat wondered if the other tenants of the building might have heard it. The older woman's bones creaked as the Kryptonian's arms curled tightly around her and held on as she rode out the waves of ecstasy.

Then they lay tangled together, breathing coming in ragged pants as Cat closed her eyes and laughed softly. "Fuck, Kara, I think eight is a new record for us."

"Want to make it nine?" the hero asked with a gorgeous, sexy smile, but her wife just chuckled and shook her head.

"Not right now, Baby. I can't. I'm too sensitive." She blew out a long breath. "Phew!" She grinned then. "I need coffee."

"Sure," the younger blonde replied amiably. She released her wife and rolled over to grab Cat's cup and, narrow her eyes to reheat it with a short beam of heat vision. Cat took the cup and took a sip. "Thanks, Sweetheart."

"You're welcome," Kara replied as she did the same for her own cup. Then she grabbed the bag of beignets and did something Cat had never seen before. The hero let her eyes stay wide as she engaged her heat vision, sending waves of heat into the food to warm it up gradually.

"Wow," Cat marveled. "I've never seen you do that before."

"It's risky and takes a lot of concentration," Kara shrugged. "Sometimes it's easier just to use the microwave but, since I didn't feel like getting out of bed, I just decided to give it a shot." She opened the bag and passed one of the sweet treats to her wife, who bit into it and groaned happily. Kara took one too and popped it into her mouth. "You know, this is so going to ruin brunch," she said as she chewed.

But Cat just smiled seductively as she licked powdered sugar off Kara's lips and gently cupped her breast. "I want YOU for brunch."

And with a return grin, Kara grabbed her phone. "I'm cancelling the reservation."

Cat's teeth closed around her nipple and nibbled gently. "Good."


A/N: I know this is a ring, but this is kinda what I had in mind for how the bracelets would look. Hopefully the link comes through.
