Tally doesn't ever remember being so nervous in all her life, she finds herself laying in Sarah's bed. Her sapphire eyes staring down at her with so much intensity Tally feels like her insides are on fire. Her skin is on fire in the best way and all she wants is for Sarah to make her hers.

"You're trembling, darling, we don't have to do this. We can stop now and we can just lay here or whatever you would like to do," Sarah cups her cheek from above her.

Tally shakes her head, "No, I want to do this, it's just I've never been with anyone and I don't know exactly what I'm doing."

Sarah smiles and runs a finger down her cheek, "It's okay, I'll be gentle, we'll go slow."

Sarah undresses her like she's savoring unwrapping a gift, she kisses and caresses every inch of skin that comes into view. She leaves love bites where only she can see and explores all the places that make Tally moan. And it turns out that those moans have quickly become music to Sarah's ears.

When Sarah stretches her with her fingers it only hurts for a moment before it's all ecstasy and Tally can't feel full enough with her. And when the older woman bites at her perky breasts Tally bites the back of her hand to stifle the moans from her mouth.

But Sarah is right there pulling her hand away and pressing it into the pillow beside her head as her other hand continues to pump into her and Tally can't look away even though she feels the urge to. She feels like she's being consumed and devoured in the best way possible and she could spend the rest of her days right here with Sarah's fingers deep inside her.

She's reaching out with her other hand to bring Sarah's mouth to crash down onto hers as she comes so hard her scream is being swallowed up by Sarah's kisses. And all the colors vibrate and it's like she's floating in colors and Sarah's right there in the middle of it all, power surges through her and doesn't think she's ever felt so alive.

Sarah lays beside her and watches her come back to herself, "I didn't hurt you did I?"

Tally shakes her head with a smile lacing her lips, "It was perfect," Tally reaches out for her hand again and kisses it, "Will you show me how to touch you? I want to make you feel good too."

It's delicate and awkward at first for Tally as they lay facing each other and Sarah brings her hand between her legs and Tally gasps at how wet she is, "Don't be so surprised, darling. You're not the only one wanting even if I try to hide it, I've wanted you from the moment you stepped into my office and I heard your sweet voice."

Tally takes courage from her words and from the moans that fall from her lips, she learns where to touch and how hard or fast. She's a fast learner and she only wants to please, she's become a good little soldier for her general.

And when Sarah comes all over her hand it gives Tally a feeling of satisfaction and pride and she can't wait to make her come many more times by her own hands, by her mouth.

Sarah consumes her mouth once more panting, "Good work, soldier," she jokingly says.

"So I did good?""

Sarah entangles their legs and brings her to her chest, "Yes and I'm sure you'll only get better."

Tally pulls back so she can look at her, "You won't regret this in the morning will you?"

"Why would you think that, Tally?"

"Well, I know you had your reservations about this and I understand our conflicting positions and I just don't want to go back to being at arms length again," Tally finally told her what she wanted without holding back for her sake.

Sarah pushed her hair behind her ear and leaned in to kiss her on the forehead, "I don't think there's any going back now even if we tried. It will be complicated and unusual. I'm not an easy person to love, Tally. I have an ugly side to me that I will do everything I can to shield you from. The things I have had to do, you will think me a monster. But I want you, I want to try this even if I'm not the greatest at it."

"I understand, we'll just take it one step at a time and I promise to listen and communicate my insecurities. And I don't need you to shield me, I know you've had to make hard decisions. I may not agree with them but you've had your reasons I'm sure. We all have our dark sides and I promise to listen to you if you want to tell me about it."

Sarah runs her thumb over her lip, "I could ruin you."

Tally grabs her thumb and sucks it into her mouth, running her tongue over it and tasting her, letting it pop from her mouth smearing saliva on her mouth and down her chin, "Then ruin me."

And Sarah does, they consume and devour each other all throughout the night and if Tally wakes delightfully sore in all the right places with memories of praise from the general's lips it's all made the more worth it.

Finding a note on the bedside table telling her Sarah had to get up early for a meeting but she'd meet her later for lunch. And Tally dresses in her clothes from the day before and goes to find her unit, walking with that soreness that makes Tally hold her head high like she just climbed the tallest mountain and how she climbed it.

Her witchmark shines brightly for everyone to see and she giggles as she tosses her arms around Abigail and Raelle with the biggest smile and they don't need to be told they both know that Tally got nailed by the general of the US army last night. But Tally tells them about it anyway.
