Even though I'm slow with uploading I'm still far from done with this story, however, if any of you have any ideas for this story [just stuff that you want to see happen] let me know and I'll try to incorporate it to the best of my abilities!

—The Punishment—

Lu dropped her medical journal on the coffee table and got off the couch, it was getting pretty late and the journal was boring her to death. Countless cups of coffee had done nothing to combat her exhaustion and she figured she might as well go to bed and get a fresh start in the morning, only changing her mind when there was a knock at her door.

Part of her wished that it was just Marc who had forgotten his keys; both because she hadn't seen him that much since she and Andy had told him about their relationship, as well as because she would be able to kiss him goodnight and go to bed anyway.

Opening the door revealed Andy though. A very tired Andy, wearing a long dark coat as it had been cold lately, her hair being held up with a claw hair clip, heels that Lu knew would be considered by Andy to be ''ridiculously high''. Lu knew that she had plenty to apologize for after their brunch earlier that day, but also knew that Andy had even more to apologize for and didn't feel like giving her the time of day.

Andy put her hand on the door to keep Lu from closing it, ''I'm sorry,'' she said. After a moment she could see Lu relax the slightest bit as she walked away from the open door, allowing Andy to invite herself in. ''I know that you have sacrificed a lot and—while I wish you didn't have to—I know that I should be more grateful for that.''

Lu sighed. ''Look, it's not as if I would want Jonas back even if we weren't together, and while our house was nice I'm just as comfortable here… I just wish that our relationship was going somewhere, that we didn't have to leave a foot of distance between us out of fear that someone will see us together. I know that you'll never tell your family about us and that's fine, we can be selective with the people we tell at work, but when we're out and no one there knows us I need you to relax and not be so paranoid.''

''I know I can go a bit overboard,'' Andy concurred, ''and I'll try to be calmer in the future. In the meantime,'' she fished a key out of her pocket and held it up for Lu, ''even though I can't marry you, I do want to think about other ways I can commit to you, I'm not asking you to move in but…''

''Is that a key to your house?'' Lu asked, a smile widening on her face. She took they key from Andy before her face fell a bit, ''so, with making more commitments to each other, what're you going to do if you get nominated for surgeon general?''

Andy took a deep breath, ''we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.'' She knew that with everything Lu had given up the least she could do was give something up that she technically didn't even have, even if it had been her lifelong goal. ''I think that at the moment it's more important that you and Marc get back the relationship you used to have.'' She knew how difficult it had been for Lu to not have Marc around right after getting used to him being around again.

Lu shifted uncomfortably, ''he'll talk to me when he's ready,'' she said, not fully believing it. Yes, it was important to Marc that his mother was happy, and as far as she knew he wasn't homophobic, but he seemed to have quite some difficulty with this. ''What about Jesse and Lizzy, do you think they'll get over it?''

''They're slowly getting used to it,'' Andy said, ''they've always liked you better than me anyway,'' she added with a laugh. There were many times Jesse had asked her why she couldn't be more like Lu when she and Andy were having arguments. They had been a bit distant since she had told them about the relationship but that had somewhat died down over time, and now when Lu's name came up they only seemed a little uncomfortable.

''Oh I'm sure that's not true,'' Lu said as she put her arms around Andy. They shared a look and Lu shrugged, ''okay, maybe it is true—but you're a great mom and they're lucky to have you,'' she added. Andy had shared plenty over the years about how difficult Jesse had been when she was still in high school and Lu could easily see how her and Jesse might get along easier than the mother daughter duo.

Andy chuckled but then decided to get serious again, ''and about you dating other people-''

''I don't want to,'' Lu was quick to butt in. She couldn't promise that she would never want to but at the moment no one else seemed to pique her interest. ''Although Brian is pretty cute…'' she turned away from Andy with a smile, not wanting to make it too obvious that it was mere innocent teasing. She was not intending to do anything with him, hadn't even given him her phone number, but a part of her liked seeing Andy's jealousy.

''Well, if you ever get bored with him, I'll be here,'' Andy said as she untied the sash that held her coat together, and let the whole thing drop to the floor.

Lu turned back to Andy to respond, but stopped dead in her tracks at the sight of Andy only wearing the lingerie Lu had convinced her to buy earlier. She had enjoyed making Andy just the little bit jealous—especially after she had made Milo and Lu feel that way—but Lu knew that her face at the sight of Andy like this completely betrayed how she felt. All her life she had been fairly boy crazy but since being with Andy none of them got as much as a second look from her anymore. Her talk with Brian had been a mere charade to get Andy's attention. And boy had it worked.

Andy could see Lu make her way over to her. No words were said but Lu's pupils had widened and Andy recognized the look on her face. No matter how much she had protested against buying lingerie—or even going to try it on—she couldn't deny that it was very helpful now; a good addition to her apology.

Whilst Lu knew that she had had just as much to apologize for, and they were pretty even now, she still wanted to take the opportunity to try some new things with Andy. Maybe she'd be more eager to comply now. ''So, what are you willing to do to make it up to me?'' She asked as she reached to the back of Andy's head, taking the clip out and letting Andy's hair fall down. Even though she could think of a million things she preferred for Andy to come with ideas for once.

Andy could feel Lu's hands stroking her hair before moving down to her face, cupping her cheeks, one thumb softly stroking Andy's lips. Andy rested her head a bit more against Lu's hand, looking into her eyes, ''anything.'' She really did mean she would do anything; and without intention flashes of what they had done and what they could do crossed her mind. The lingerie was supposed to turn Lu on, but now Andy was putty in Lu's hands.

Lu knelt down in front of Andy, her hands feeling down Andy's sides on the way down, stroking down her inner thigh when she got to it. Her hand reached for the heel of Andy's heel, pulling it off and tossing it to the side before moving over to the other one. For a brief second she nuzzled Andy's center, which was at perfect eye-level for Lu. Her hands were on Andy's hips which shifted the lace enough that she knew Andy would feel it. She knew Andy was turned on, and that she could indeed get her to agree to almost anything when she was this horny, but she wanted to make her wait.

Lu led her into the bedroom, secretly needing a minute to figure out a plan but that didn't fit with the in-control persona she was trying to show Andy. ''Get on your knees,'' she ordered, surprised by how stern she sounded. She knew that Andy had expected the sight of her in the red lingerie to get Lu to forgive everything—and she was very tempted to do so—, and so the second of hesitation and confusion in Andy's eyes didn't surprise her. ''I'm not asking you again, colonel.'' Reminding Andy of her military background certainly wouldn't hurt the odds of getting her to follow orders.

Andy lowered herself down onto her knees, keeping her eyes on Lu. She was a bit surprised by how quick they had moved from just talking to making their way into the bedroom. Lu had taken more and more to taking control—not unlike Milo—and it made Andy just a bit nervous. So far everything she and Milo and she and Lu had done had panned out okay, but they could only push their luck for so long. She shifted uncomfortably, she had never before noticed how rough the carpeting in Lu's bedroom was, and it was starting to hurt her knees. She noticed Lu was watching her with a raised eyebrow, clearly wanting her to sit still. ''The carpeting is just a bit uncomfortable,'' she told Lu as an explanation.

Lu was close enough to Andy that she could actually look down at her, silently cursing the fact that she was shorter than Andy. ''Are you complaining?'' She asked, her head cocked to the side, using intense eye contact to hopefully intimidate just a little bit.

Andy lowered her eyes, needing something else to look at then Lu's face. ''No,'' she answered. Because they hadn't discussed any of this beforehand she wasn't entirely sure what Lu expected from her, but she knew her well enough that she was sure she could figure it out. Her eyes darted around the room, trying to ignore how uncomfortable she was, sure that this too fell under the ''anything'' she would do. Her eyes eventually met Lu's again and she could see that Lu expected more. ''No, ma'am.''

Lu gave her a pleased look at this answer—ignoring Andy's slightly sarcastic tone—whilst racking her brain trying to decide on what to do next. There was something she wanted to try, and with how uncomfortable Andy sometimes felt Lu didn't think she could get her to agree to it under normal circumstances, but today was different… ''Touch yourself.'' She said quietly but firmly, standing just a foot away from Andy. She could see Andy look back up at her, clearly unsure about this. ''And tell me what you're thinking of while you're doing it; tell me what you fantasize about.''

Andy could feel a blush creep its way up to her face. A lot had changed since that conversation with Milo in which he had admitted his fantasy about her and Lu. Her fantasies had evolved from just being about Milo to including Lu which had eventually turned into including lots of other scenarios and people as well.

She couldn't help but shut down; sitting on the floor in just piece of flimsy lingerie which didn't leave particularly much to the imagination, having to share her inner desires… she felt too exposed and it left her lost for words. Her mind was racing trying to form the scenes playing in her head into coherent sentences.

''If you're going to wait much longer I'm gonna have to punish you,'' Lu said with a slight chuckle as she looked away. ''I mean, I would spank you but I don't think that's much of a punishment for you.'' She was balancing on one foot, her arms crossed in front of her chest. She didn't think it possible but when she looked back at Andy she seemed even more turned on than she had a ten seconds earlier, but other than that looked very uncomfortable. When Andy remained quiet Lu stared down at her, ''Andy?''

Andy shook her head, her hand resting on her thigh, only very very slowly making its way closer to her center. She closed her eyes, trying to tune Lu out, knowing that might make it easier. A deep breath calmed her down the slightest bit, she licked her lips. ''I fantasize about you, you are over at my house and we are talking about… random stuff,'' she waved it away with her hand, ''we are not together but for some reason you start to kiss me.'' There was a slight frown on her face, her hand resting on her lower belly, ''we are kissing, Milo walks in and that's it,'' she said, rushing the last part, not wanting to elaborate on it too much.

Andy opened her eyes again, looking at Lu. ''That's usually it.''

Lu cocked her head, ''you can't get a bit more specific?'' She asked. When Andy didn't respond she sighed, ''make it a little story. Turn me on with your words.'' She smiled, hoping Andy was up to the challenge.

''This isn't enough?'' Andy asked, motioning down to the lingerie she was wearing. Lu's face was telling her it wasn't. ''There's a reason I became a scientist and not a poet,'' Andy said, ''I'm not much for stories.'' Sure, she liked reading books from time to time—even if most of her reading material consisted of various medical journals—but that didn't change the fact that despite being well-spoken she wasn't a great writer. She could still recall how frustrating it had been to write a blurb for a book a friend had written about heart-healthy diets.

Lu watched Andy roll her shoulders, trying to get back in the mood. ''Close your eyes again,'' she suggested and watched Andy do it immediately. ''We are talking at your house…'' she started, trying to spur Andy to fill in the rest.

The details varied from time to time but it remained broadly the same. ''We are talking,'' she started, ''you make a joke about something and we both start laughing.'' With her eyes closed she could see the events unfold in her mind, just with the audio missing. She's laughing, looking away to try to regain her composure, when she looks back at Lu she's met with only a faint smile. ''When our eyes meet again you're smiling, I start to ask you something but before I can… you kiss me…''

Trying to keep herself from doing just that, Lu took a step back as quietly as possible. This was supposed to be a sort of punishment for Andy, but her words—which were not even remotely sexual [yet]—were already starting to turn Lu on and she had to remind herself to just let Andy do her thing for a while, to make herself disappear from Andy's mind as much as possible.

''I can feel your hand on my cheek,'' Andy said, her own hand brushing softly against her cheek, losing herself into the story whilst barely trying to, ''your tongue is in my mouth, and I can feel your body pushing back against mine, my back hits the wall behind me and… I try to stop you because I'm with Milo-''

Lu—who had started to get really into the story, trying to play it out in her head—felt like a bucket of cold water had been dumped on her head. Milo. It was always Milo. Somehow he seemed to get brought up time and time again and even though she could never tell Andy, it did bother Lu. Mostly because she couldn't imagine Andy bringing her up in the same way when she was with Milo. Part of her wanted to kiss Andy, grab her by the hand and drag her onto the bed and not let her leave until she had forgotten who Milo even was. Not let her leave until she would promise just about anything for some kind of release. It was Andy's words that brought her back to reality.

''You turn me around roughly, you have my arm twisted behind my back to keep me in place, your right hand comes up and pushes the hair away from my ear as you lean in and start whispering that I have to do as you say… I try to push you away…''

Lu wished she could ask Andy to tell her some examples of the things she whispered in the fantasy, but she didn't want to break Andy's concentration. Just as Andy had touched her own cheek, she now had her arm behind her back as she had described, and Lu was watching every single one of her movements.

''I struggle against you for a while and finally you let me go, I face you and I talk about how Milo is going to be home soon and that I don't want him to know about this,'' her arm fell forward from behind her back and she leaned forward on the knuckles of it, needing something—anything—to hold her steady. She swallowed past the lump in her throat, ''you strike me across the face to-''

''Andy?!'' Lu couldn't help but let out Andy's name, too surprised by what she was saying to refrain from it. From their first time together she had been continually trying to push Andy's boundaries further and further but she had never struck her, it had only been a recent thing that she would even spank Andy from time to time. She knew that though it wasn't the full story, Les hitting Andy was the catalyst for what would ultimately doom their relationship to fail and the last thing Lu wanted to do was remind her of that. She couldn't possibly fathom how that would be part of Andy's fantasy and she wanted nothing more than to find out.

Andy shook her head; it was easier to share if she could tell the whole story as opposed to being interrupted in the middle and being asked to explain something as she knew Lu wanted to do. ''You strike me,'' she punctuated, ''across the face so I stop talking. You say that if I want you can leave and we never have to discuss it again, but I tell you to stay, I want you to stay… You grab my hand and drag me over to the bed, pushing me back onto it, and you tell me that if you stay we're going to do things your way. You unzip my pants and pull them off of me. You lie down on top of me and kiss me…''

Lu noticed Andy's breathing getting heavier, the hand that had previously been resting on her stomach was travelling inch by inch downwards and without meaning to Lu held her breath until the moment Andy finally did what she had been told to do: touch herself. It didn't last long though.

Andy tried not to get ahead of herself, her hand automatically moving up to her throat. ''Your hand moves downward,'' each word came out more slowly than the previous one. She mimicked the events of the story without thinking about it, providing Lu with a clear picture. Her hand moved down her chest, down her stomach, until finally—ignoring the lace covering her—she rubbed herself, and bit down on her lower lip. ''I can feel your hand in my underwear, and I- I try to push you away—it's- it's too much—but you won't let me.''

Lu was incredibly turned on and just the slightest bit disturbed by Andy's fantasy. There were so many questions she had but as she had vowed to herself to do, she remained quiet. Her jaw was just the slightest bit slacked, the frown on Andy's face mirrored Lu's own.

As Andy's fingers finally made contact with her swollen clit she bucked away, as always seemed to happen when she replayed this in her mind, it turning her on enough that she needed barely any touching to push her over the edge. ''You grab my wrists and move my arms up above my head, and tell me to keep them there. You push my shirt open and start to kiss your way down,'' despite it being January and not particularly warm in Lu's apartment, sweat droplets were starting to form on Andy's chest, her soft moans coming out between words as her hips rolled against her hand.

''You drag my underwear down my legs and throw them to the side…'' her labored breathing combined with her hand sending waves of pleasure coursing through her body made it hard to think let alone speak. ''You push my legs apart,'' she swallowed back a whimper as her hand seemed to have finally found a rhythm it liked, ''and kiss the inside of my thighs…''

Lu could tell Andy was just seconds away from coming, and decided it was as good a time as any to actually make this a punishment. ''Don't come.'' She ordered.

Andy's hand dropped to the floor as she pushed her legs together, even without touching herself she was pretty sure she could talk her way to an orgasm. She looked at Lu with pleading eyes—the first time she had opened her eyes since she had started talking—, silently begging her to just let her come. Often she had already come from her fantasy at this point; it was only the interruptions coming from Lu that had helped her hold out this long.

Lu shook her head, ''keep touching yourself,'' she told Andy, ''just don't come.''

Andy would be lying if she said that Milo not letting her come earlier was one of the reasons why she had come here in the first place, it was only with Lu that she didn't need Milo's permission, which, even though it had been a turn-on, could be pretty annoying at times like this. Her trembling hand made its way back to her core and even though she was tempted to just make it look like she was still masturbating without actually doing it, she knew she couldn't defy Lu's orders like that.

Lu watched Andy rock back and forth—trying to keep quiet—before falling forward. It was a fetus like position, the only difference being that Andy was still on her knees. The hand that she had previously been leaning on now laid out in front of her, her fingers stretching before gripping at the carpet. A small smile danced on Lu's lips, ''keep touching yourself,'' she encouraged Andy, ''and keep talking.''

Andy looked up at Lu for a second before allowing her eyelids to flutter shut again, ''okay, okay…'' she whispered, trying to remember where she was in the story.

Lu took a small step towards Andy, knowing that she couldn't see it but hoping that if Andy opened her eyes again it made it even more clear who was in control here. She decided to help Andy find her way back, ''I'm kissing the insides of your thighs,'' she reminded Andy in a low, seductive voice.

Andy's forehead was leaning on the floor, her thighs pushed tightly together as her hand between them was following Lu's orders whether Andy wanted it to or not. Her hips were rolling against her hand and her whole body was so focused on pushing itself over the edge that she almost didn't hear Lu—Lu, whose voice turned her on more than she would ever admit, Lu, who she was trying to pretend wasn't in the room. ''You're kissing my thighs,'' she managed to get out, her hips almost bucking away from her hand, it all being too much, ''and you're moving closer and closer and closer,'' the words were coming out slower and slower as her moaning took priority for her mouth it seemed, ''to the middle.''

''You pull away for a second and I think that you've changed your mind, that you want to leave, but then,'' her fingers finally found its way inside the lingerie, pushing it to the side so she finally had skin on skin contact with the most sensitive part of her body, ''you suck my clit into your mouth,'' she circled her clit with two fingers, pinching it between the two and moaning in response, ''you lick up and down the lips,'' her fingers ran over them, spreading the moisture from her soaked pussy over them, ''you- you bite them,'' she softly tugged on the lips before repeating it a bit harder, her whole body responding to her ministrations. Her back arched up, making her sit back on her calves for a second before falling forward again, her hand grasping at the spiked carpet as she tried and failed to control her breathing. She licks her lip but her mouth is dry, ''I hear the door open…''

Lu watched Andy quietly, her eyes glued to the other woman. One of her hands clutched her necklace as she stared wordlessly. She sat back on her bed and cursed quietly when it creaked, she could see it stirred Andy from her thoughts and she was quick to stop her. ''Don't open your eyes,'' Lu said softly. She wanted Andy to remain within her head, she had been sharing so openly and Lu knew that if she interrupted her again at this point then maybe she wouldn't start again. ''Just keep going.''

It took Andy a second to get back to where she had been just seconds before. ''I hear the door open,'' she repeated. Focusing on Milo instead of Lu for a second made it easier to talk. ''You don't seem to hear it but I lock eyes with Milo… he seems mad but doesn't say anything, just watches us as he closes the door behind him.'' In between the frames of the movie playing in her head there were flashes of previous encounters with Milo, making the memories of him being in charge of her, taking her however he wanted her, fresh in her mind.

Lu could hear Andy's moans coming faster, each one louder than the last. With her wanting her to not think about Milo but instead focus on Lu herself; she considered it the perfect time to finally jump in. She had been stopping herself the entire time and she needed a moment to calm herself down before she just pushed Andy down on her back and had her way with her, making this end way quicker than she had intended.

''You're ignoring him,'' Andy continued, her legs were pushed together to not give her hand as much room to do what she so desperately wanted to do, but it also intensified the pleasure she did feel there. ''But you notice me looking away in his direction and you grab me by the chin, forcing me to look back at you.''

Lu stood up from the bed as Andy was talking, finally crouching down in front of her, grabbing a fistful of Andy's hair and forcing her to sit back up straight, she stood up straight again, Andy's torso pushed against her legs. Taking inspiration from Andy's words, Lu took hold of Andy's chin—holding it just tight enough to hurt a little—and forced Andy to look up at her.

Even after Lu let go Andy kept looking up at her, ''I look down at you and we hold eye contact as you breathe in my scent,'' she finally looked away, her head rolling to the side before she buried her face in Lu's crotch, ''and you push your tongue inside of me…'' she wished she could do just that to Lu right now, but decided it was best to just do as she had been told, ''and lick up my slit…''

Lu couldn't be entirely sure that Andy didn't actually use her tongue to draw a line from Lu's pussy to her front, at least doing something that looked like it. She looked down at Andy, running her hands through the shoulder-length brown hair, stroking it away from Andy's face but not actually keeping it in place. She could see the sweat on Andy's brow and on her face Lu could see that she was beyond close; she could see that with just one word she could make Andy come undone, have her melt into a puddle of goo on Lu's floor.

Andy's hand traveled up the back of Lu's leg, coming to rest of her firm round ass. She was still humping her own hand, looking up at Lu, whimpering as she tried to stop herself from coming. There was only so much her brain could keep her from doing though, and only so far she could push her body before it finally decided that Lu's orders be damned, she was going to come no matter what. Her brain was foggy as she tried to push the words out, ''your teeth,'' looking up at Lu she could see those perfect teeth and in that moment she wished she could just do something with them, lick them for all she cared, anything besides this torture, ''your teeth scrape over my clit…''

Just as Lu opened her mouth to finally let Andy come, to finally let her have that sweet, sweet release, she was interrupted by her beeper. She stared down at Andy's pleading eyes, to just ignore the page and focus on what was happening right in front of her, but they both knew she couldn't do that. Andy's moans vibrated against Lu's crotch as she pulled her beeper out of her pants pocket, opening it up to see that she was being paged to the ER.

It had been her intention to not let Andy come at all tonight, before she knew just how intense Andy would get, her plan getting derailed by exactly that. This page though, it had come at exactly the right time.

Lu could see Andy shake her head, begging her to please say that she didn't have to leave, her grip on Lu's pants tightening as she needed something to hold her up. Lu leaned down, taking Andy's face into her hand and planting a kiss on Andy's slightly parted lips which were still failing at keeping her moans inside.

With one more caress of Andy's cheek Lu finally pulled away. ''I have to go, we'll continue this some other time.''
