Tally woke with a warmth pressed against her back and she sighed and the reminder of who it was made her smile. Turning in the arms wrapped around her she smiled at the peaceful look on the other woman's face. She'd never seen her so at peace before, even at her calmest times Tally could see a sadness and a burden weighing her down.

Extending her hand she runs an index finger from her forehead down to the tip of her nose and then over her lips. Trying to memorize every inch of her face, she felt like she was really seeing her. And what she felt for her filled her very being and she can't believe she had caused her so much pain. She'd seen enough of that in her very long life.

"My dear, Tally, what are you doing?"

Tally pulled her hand away but it was quickly grabbed by the older woman, gasping as a kiss was pressed to her palm.

Tally melted into her, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you, I was just admiring the view."

Sarah opened her eyes and the piercing blue shook Tally to her core like she hadn't realized how beautiful they really were. They say that your eyes are the window to your soul and Tally could tell how beautiful the older woman was inside and out. Despite all she'd done and been through, she forgave her for that.

Still clutching the red heads hand to her chest Sarah looked at her with an intensity that rattled Tally, "What's on your mind, sparrow?"'

Tally blushed but moved a strand of hair behind the older woman's ear, "Has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are?"

Tally saw her eyes light up as she started to laugh, not a laugh that makes fun of you, but a laugh that sounded like happiness and Tally just smiled.

She's never heard her laugh before and she hopes she gets to hear her laugh more, is this another thing she should memorize in case it gets taken from her?

Sarah's laughter quiets and those eyes look at her so sincerely as she replies, "Not so early in the morning. Alas, I don't remember the last time anyone told me I was beautiful, I'm afraid I tend to scare people away."

"Except for me."

"Except for you."

Sarah leans in and kisses her fondly, "I could get used to waking up to this face of yours."

Tally grins into the kiss as Sarah pushes her onto her back and starts kissing her way down her neck taking extra care to lavish attention on her witches mark behind her ear. A hand is slipped under Tally's shirt and she arches into the touch as nails are scraped down her stomach.

And suddenly Tally feels far too hot for such a cold morning as she pants into another kiss from her wifes very skilled mouth.

My wife.

"Sarah, please," Tally pleads into her touch.

The older woman is shifting a knee in between her legs and pulling Tally's shirt off at the same time. The cold air hits her and suddenly she's very aware of how vulnerable she feels with Sarah looking at her with such a smolder in her eyes. A look she's only fantasized about before but now it's real and she's looking at her like she's about to be devoured.

And devour her, she does.

The cold air has made Tally's nipples look quite appetizing to Sarah and she makes sure to put her skilled mouth at work. She flicks her tongue across one, biting down just hard enough to get a gasp out of that sweet mouth of hers. Then she lavishes the same attention on the other, Tally's fingers grasping at her hair.

She bites a trail down to the waistband of her pants, pulling back to meet her gaze. One of her nails grazing where skin meets cloth.

"Do I have permission cadet?"

Tally nods vigorously, "Yes, ma'am."

Sarah smirks as she ever so slowly releases her from the confines of her restricting pants, "Tally, darling, is there something you want to explain to me?"

Tally blushes crimson and replies in such an innocent voice, "What? Oh, I was in a hurry last night."

"Hmmm," Sarah purrs as she tosses the pants onto the floor and admires how Tally Craven is all on display for her.

Tally knows that if she doesn't touch her soon she's going to start doing it herself and she's not sure how Sarah would react to that, she did say she was going to have to work for it. But before she can think any further Sarah is leaving kisses on the insides of her thighs, slowly making her way up to where Tally needs her most.

Tally cries out as soon as her tongue is on her, in her, and all around her. She wants to fist her hands in her hair but she grabs the sheets instead. She hasn't earned it to touch her without her permission yet.

Tally's pretty sure that Sarah is using her tongue to spell in mothertongue and she's not complaining in fact she's pretty sure she's spelling 'I love you' with her tongue.

"Sarah, please!"

Tally brings her hand to her mouth to muffle her screams but Sarah stops making her whimper and her hand is being removed from her mouth, "No, I want to hear you, I want everyone to hear you. I want them to all hear how easily I make my wife cum."

Sarah pushes her fingers deep inside Tally making her cry out and she can't help herself but she clutches onto her, nails digging into her back even through her shirt.

"Fuck, Sarah, I-"

The older woman brings her mouth to her own, pushing her tongue inside her mouth and Tally moans at the taste of herself on her tongue.

Breaking the kiss, Alder moves her mouth to bite at her neck while bringing her free hand to massage her breasts, "Darling, Tally, cum for me."

And just like that Tally cums, Sarah's name screamed from her lungs, she's pretty sure everyone has indeed her. Sarah works her down from it before she pulls her fingers from her and brings them to her mouth to suck them clean.

"Good girl," Alder kisses her on the side of the head and holds her till she comes to her senses.

Tally goes to reach for her but Sarah just grasps her hands and presses a kiss into them, "But what about you?"

Sarah smiles, "There will be plenty of time for me later, I have to make a trip into town for something and you need to get to class."

Tally pouted up at her, "But I?"

Sarah leaves another kiss on her lips, "Later, I promise. I should be back by dinner, so be a good girl till then."

Sighing into her lips Tally concedes, "Yes, ma'am."

Alder dresses fast and with precision from years of practice, dropping another kiss to Tally's sleepy head, she's out the door and collecting her biddies.

Tally smiles and presses her face into the side of the pillow where Sarah had laid before, she really didn't want to get up, she just wanted to stay right there. She didn't care if she got in trouble, the pulling tug of sleep and the scent of Sarah was far more important than classes.

So she just let herself fall back to sleep.
