Chapter 9
Although she was a little slower getting her work done, Lena was beyond happy being able to look up at her girlfriend. The first time she looked up, Kara was focused with the tip of her tongue poking out the corner of her mouth. The next time the infamous crinkle was making an appearance as she frantically deleted whatever she had written. A few minutes later, when the sound of typing had ceased, Lena looked up in curiosity to see Kara already watching her.
"What?", Lena asked, her eyebrows furrowing at the look on Kara's face.
"Nothing", Kara shook her head, as if clearing her mind, "Just thinking".
"Good things I hope", Lena teases, giving her girlfriend a smile.
Kara sets her laptop to the side and comes up to Lena's desk, bracing her hands on it and leaning forward. "Well I was thinking about you", she whispers, blue eyes full of love.
Lena smiles, drops the pen, and uses the collar of Kara's button-up to pull her closer, raising her chin so that their lips would meet. She kisses her deeply before pulling away, Kara following her lips before taking a shuddering breath. "What did I say about being distracting?", Lena teases.
"Me?!", Kara exclaims, before leaning close again and dropping her voice an octave, "What about you? Sitting here all boss bitch but I know you better". Kara listens as Lena's heart rate spikes and smirks as she continues, "All you really want is to go home, get undressed", Kara whispers sexily right in Lena's ear, leading her on as Lena rolls her head opening her neck, and lets out a little whimper, "and fall asleep watching a movie". The last phrase finally reaches Lena's brain and she sits up, scoffing, causing Kara to pull back to avoid the playful smack aimed at her.
Lena regains her composure and stands from her chair, rounding the edge of the desk while Kara tries to hold her dominant stance. "I think you're projecting darling", Lena says, coming closer as Kara's pride holds her in place. "You act all powerful as Supergirl but really you just want to go home and order pizza and potstickers and pig out on ice cream and watch a movie and cuddle", Lena says, leaning forward to speak into Kara's ear. She drops her voice, making it raspy and sultry as she whispers, "What I want is to go home, get undressed, and fuck you", she says, nipping at Kara's ear before walking back around to her chair and sitting down with a smirk.
Kara lets out a little whimper at the words and Lena's teeth on her ear before she realizes Lena has walked away. "I finished those articles", she says, already pouting, "can we please go home now?".
"For what you want or what I want", Lena teases, not looking away from the paperwork.
"B…both", Kara stutters, uncomfortably turned on still standing in the middle of Lena's office. Lean raises a brow, finally looking up and Kara just about melts at the look in darkened green eyes. "Your plan, I mean, but it's what I want now too because…", Kara starts to ramble and is cut off by Lena's lips, immediately melting into the contact.
"Take me home Supergirl", Lena says, and Kara is gone in a whoosh, coming back seconds later with her bag over her shoulder and Lena's in her hand held out for her.
"Enjoy that speed now, darling, because I'll be enjoying taking my time later", Lena teases, wrapping her arms around Kara's neck in preparation for flight.
Kara groans into Lena's hair and she gently lifts her into a bridal carry and takes off out the balcony.
"Honey, I'm home", Alex calls out in a silly voice, letting Ruby and herself in with her new key.
Ruby follows, rolling her eyes at Alex, before heading upstairs. "I'm gonna shower before dinner", she yells towards the kitchen, where Alex is headed.
Alex wraps her arms around Sam from behind, kissing her on the cheek in greeting.
"Dork", Sam smiles fondly, turning around to look at Alex.
"I am not a dork", Alex protests, kissing her, "Hi".
"Hi", Sam says, kissing her again, "and you are, but you're my dork".
"Damn right", Alex says, pressing Sam against the counter and kissing her.
The oven timer goes off scaring them both out of their kiss-induced haze and Sam pushes Alex back running over with an oven mitt, muttering to herself.
Alex leans against the counter, biting her lip trying to not laugh.
"So what are we having", Alex asks, trying to figure out what is in the pan Sam just pulled out.
"It was supposed to be lasagne", she answers, setting the pan down, "I suppose the middle is still ok".
"I'm sure it's fine", Alex says, "it's better than anything I would've fixed anyway".
Sam laughs, coming back towards her, "It's your fault you know", she teases, resting her arms around Alex's shoulders again, "the timer was a backup. I should've been watching it but you distracted me".
"Oh I'm a distraction, right", Alex scoffs. "Have you seen yourself?", she says, voice teasing but eyes full of lust.
Sam doesn't answer, just kisses her, pushing her back against the counter. "Look at yourself", she mumbles between kisses, hands roaming. Alex moans when Sam grips her ass and lifts her onto a clear space on the counter. Alex wraps her legs around her waist, pulling her in tight as Sam moves her kisses down Alex's neck.
"Mom, what's burning?", Ruby says, coming around the corner, not giving the women enough time to separate. Alex is still on the counter but dropped her legs from around Sam's waist and Sam buried her face in Alex's neck, not wanting to make eye contact with her daughter right now.
Ruby just grabs a plate and glass out of the counter and a spatula to scoop out the lasagne, ignoring the women who are sporting deep blushes. She fixes her plate and drink, going to sit down at the table, "Are you guys going to eat or just sit there and act like I didn't walk in on you?".
Alex kisses the side of Sam's head and gently pushes trying to get her to move, "I'm hungry but I think your mom may have died from embarrassment".
Sam groans and finally relents, moving her face out of Alex's neck and turning away from her daughter's smirking face to fix her own food.
After landing back home, Kara carefully sets Lena down, leaving her with a kiss before flying off to pick up food, rambling about needing energy.
Lena shakes her head, laughing at her girlfriend, and uses the biometric lock on the door to let herself in. She sets both their bags down in the home office, plugging in the laptops before heading to the bedroom. She quickly gets out of the stiff skirt and itchy blouse, even changing into fresh lingerie before pulling on a pair of sweatpants and Kara's NCU hoodie.
She heads to the kitchen, uncorking a bottle of wine and grabbing glasses before carrying it all into the living room, smiling to herself. If you'd told her six years ago that she would be happily sitting on her couch in sweats waiting for her girlfriend, who is Supergirl, to fly in with their food which they would eat on the coffee table watching TV, she would have called you crazy and called security.
She laughs to herself, pouring the wine into the glasses, and grabs the remote, scrolling for something to watch on the many streaming services she pays for, another outcome of meeting Kara.
She is waiting for Netflix to load when Kara flies through the open door, leaving the food on the table and a kiss on Lena's cheek, before disappearing again. She comes back seconds later in sweats and Lena's MIT sweatshirt, dropping down beside Lena.
"So what are we watching?", Kara says, already digging through the Chinese cartons and pulling out the potstickers.
"I don't know. What do you want to watch?", Lena says, aimlessly scrolling.
"It was your idea to watch a movie", Kara says, her mouth already full. "How about Imagine Me and You?", she offers, "that's your favorite".
"That one always makes me cry", Lena says, reaching for the noodles.
"Even more proof that you're really just a big softie", Kara teases, leaning into Lena's side.
"How about we just watch NCIS or something", Lena says. "We're going to end up talking over it the whole time anyway, or other stuff", she kisses Kara's neck.
Kara lets out a small moan. "Yeah that sounds good", she says, fighting to keep her voice even.
Lena smirks, putting on the show, and tries to get enough food before Kara eats it all.
"So I know you had a rebel phase and I just picture you like Abby", Kara says, pointing at the screen. "Know-it-all with a lab coat but totally unnerving and with all these like secrets and experiences that no one would expect".
"Seriously", Lena laughs, "I like the know-it-all with a lab coat part but I don't know about the unnerving part".
"Oh yeah", Kara says, "like I know you well now but back then you were so hard to read, and like you've told me about a lot of stuff but it's still shocking when you tell me about some stuff".
"Like…", Lena thinks for a moment before her eyes light up. She sets her food down and scoots closer, "Like how I was a regular at a BDSM club", she says with a serious look.
Kara chokes on her noodle while Lena laughs. Kara recovers pounding her chest as she regains breath and turns to Lena, trying to tell if it was a joke. "Are you serious?", she asks.
Lena doesn't answer, afraid her facade would break. Kara raises an eyebrow, eyes dilating, stuttering, "y…you… really, like did stuff or… oh Rao".
Lena finally breaks the tension, laughing, "I went with an ex but we never did any of that". Kara just stares at her as she continues. "It was fine just", Lena takes a breath, "it takes a lot of trust and we didn't have that". She turns to Kara, the darkened gaze finally registering, "Are you interested?", she asks, shocked.
"Oh Rao no", Kara says, fidgeting with her glasses, "I… no I never want to hurt you or even act like it".
Lena nods, "Ok, that's what I thought. So what's the look for?".
Kara pulls her glasses off, looking up at Lena with wide blue eyes, "It kind of shocked me at first but then the thought of someone hurting you…".
"You wanted to protect me", Lena finishes. Kara nods, sheepishly. "Oh darling", Lena says, taking Kara's face in her hands, "I know you wish you could have been there to protect me from everything that has happened in the past but I don't. Even if I don't believe in God, I met you when I was meant to. Besides, if I didn't have such a dark past, how would you and your savior complex ever have been interested", she teases, kissing Kara's cheek.
Kara pouts, "Hey! I don't have a savior complex". Lena kisses the pout away but doesn't agree. Kara kisses back, wrapping an arm around Lena's back and laying her on the couch, hovering over her, "I don't love you because I get to save you. I love you because you're smart and kind and funny", Kara says, punctuating each trait with a kiss. "You've been through a lot and anyone else would've given up, but you are so strong and you turned the company around, twice, you've helped us put away your family, multiple times, you've helped us save the world, multiple times because honestly, I've lost count", Kara laughs. "You've saved me, more than you realize, and done it all with grace and poise and unrelenting kindness to everyone. Even when they call you just another Luthor, I see the real you", Kara says, laying her hand over Lena's heart, "Maybe I do have a savior complex, but only so I can save you from your own self-doubt".
Lena laces her fingers with Kara's on her chest, using the other hand to tuck the blonde curls behind her ear, before pulling her down and kissing her deeply. They both pour their love into the kiss, even as it turns salty from their tears.
Eventually, Kara lifts up, letting Lena catch her breath and wipes the tears off her cheeks, "I love you, Lena Luthor".
Lena sniffs, smiling up at Kara, "I love you, Kara Danvers".
They put their foreheads together, "Always".
A loud round of gunshots causes Kara to jump up already scanning for an assassin.
Lena reaches for the remote and turns off the TV, laughing, "Savior complex right there".
Kara looks bashful as she realizes the sounds were just from the show. "Don't worry", Lena says, standing next to Kara, "I'm not due for another assassination attempt for at least 3 months".
"Leeee", Kara whines, letting her head drop onto Lena's shoulder, "That's not funny".
"I'm sorry, darling", Lena says, kissing her head, "I know it's early but how about we just go to bed".
Kara nods, kissing Lena before gathering the cartons and carrying them to the trash.
Lena grabs the glasses and bottle recorking it before putting it in the fridge and setting the glasses in the sink to be washed later. She holds a hand out to Kara, pulling her in close and kissing her, "Bed?".
Kara hums against her lips, getting in one last kiss before they walk hand-in-hand to the bedroom.

Lena pulls PJs out for both of them and hands Kara a set before pulling off the hoodie, revealing the lacy emerald bra she put on earlier.
"Oh Rao", Kara breathes, clutching the PJs and staring at the pale expanse of skin.
"What was that?", Lena asks, turning around to face Kara. "Oh", she squeaks realizing why Kara is staring, "I forgot I put this on", she says, trying to quickly cover up with her PJ shirt.
Kara breaks out of her trance, dropping the PJs, and stops Lena. She kisses down her neck and between her breasts until she's stopped by the bra. "I'm so sorry I've been patrolling so much. I missed you", Kara says, eyes returning to Lena's face and her hands gripping Lena's hips. "I don't just mean like this", Kara backtracks, "I miss holding you, waking up with you, eating breakfast with you and I promise as soon as we figure out what's going on and stop it, I'm taking a few weeks off and we're going to Argo. Just you and me and I'll show you around and teach you some more Kryptonian and…", Kara is cut off by Lena's lips.
"I missed you too. I had a whole plan to wine you, dine you, and 69 you but I made the stupid joke and it didn't feel right to come on to you after all the serious discussions and I'd forgotten I put this on and…", Lena rambles, imitating Kara until she too is cut off with a kiss.
"We may not want to do all that other stuff but I am not opposed to making love to you", Kara says, holding Lena's waist.
"Yeah?", Lena asks, smiling.
"Yeah", Kara says, "I was wet enough after your office earlier but seeing you in my hoodie and now in this…", Kara doesn't finish, just pulls Lena closer and kisses her, walking them both towards the bed, unhooking Lena's bra along the way.
She lifts Lena, hovering over the bed before gently laying her back on the pillows, and kisses her as her fingers find the hem of the sweatpants.
Lena lifts her hips and Kara slides the sweats and panties down her legs, quickly kicking her own off and nearly ripping her shirt before crawling back up and settling between Lena's legs.
"Rao, you're beautiful", Kara breathes into her skin as she makes her way across Lena's chest, kissing her way back down her stomach. With one small lick, Lena already has Kara's hair fisted in her hand and is moaning loudly. Kara grins and continues at it, using her speed to vibrate against Lena's clit.
"God, Kara", Lena moans out, "I'm close".
Kara uses her fingers now, moving up Lena's body, "Let me see you", she says, kissing Lena, letting her taste herself on her tongue. "Let me see you fall apart as you come around my fingers", Kara says, and Lena falls over the edge, gripping Kara's shoulders as she works her through her orgasm.
"You're so beautiful, Lena", Kara says, sweetly kissing her as she brings her down slowly.
Once she's caught her breath and her heart rate settled, she tries to reciprocate but Kara just pulls her close and waves her off, "No it's ok. I promise. I'm good. You just rest".
Lena is left boneless and exhausted, curled up into Kara's side.

After dinner, Ruby helped Alex load the dishwasher while Sam packed up the leftovers, before heading upstairs to do homework.
Sam and Alex carried their glasses over the couch, each grabbing their laptop on their way. Sam stretched out across the sofa and Alex simply lifted her legs and sat down, using her legs as a table.
They worked in companionable silence, each sneaking glances at the other, enjoying being able to be together while getting work done until Alex's phone rang.
"Danvers", she answered, moving her laptop to the side. Sam went to retract her legs to allow her up but Alex pulled them back, giving her a foot massage to keep her hands busy while she was on the phone.
"Just standing in the center of the intersection", Alex asks, before going silent waiting for an answer. "Yeah send Vasquez and both teams that are field ready. I'll meet them there", Alex says. "15 max", she says shortly before hanging up.
She groans, lifting Sam's feet so she can hover over her, "I'm so sorry but the Dheronian showed up. I have to go".
"Will you be back?", Sam asked.
"Depends on how this goes", Alex answers, "I'll try but either way don't wait up and say goodnight to Ruby for me".
Despite her girlfriend leaving Sam breaks out in a huge grin, so happy that Alex thought of Ruby, "I will. Be safe. I love you", she says, cupping Alex's face.
"I will. Love you too", Alex replies before leaning down and kissing her.
"Be back soon", she calls from the front door, locking it behind her.
Sam watches out the window as the headlight comes on and Alex gives her customary three revs before backing out of the driveway.
"Did Alex leave?", Ruby asks, heading to the kitchen for a drink.
"Yeah something at the DEO came up", Sam smiled at Ruby, "She said she'd try to be back but to tell you goodnight for her just in case". Ruby smiles at the obvious happiness radiating from her mom's face, as she continues, "You done with homework?".
"Yep", Ruby cheered, plopping down on the couch beside her mom.
"Well it's still early… want to watch a movie?", Sam asks, handing her daughter the remote.
"Are you done with homework?", Ruby asks, pointing to the open laptop.
"Close enough", Sam shrugs and closes the laptop, setting it on the end table, as Ruby queues up a movie.
"What about Alex's?", Ruby asks, nodding her head to the other open laptop, still on, on the other end of the couch.
"She can pick it up if she comes by tonight", Sam says, closing it and placing it on top of hers, "if she doesn't make it back tonight, I'll drop it off on my way in tomorrow". "So what are we watching?", she asks, pulling her daughter close as the movie starts.
AN: Nothing wrong with BDSM, I'm just not writing that. I only needed something for Lena to tease Kara with.
