Mal laid on the couch and flipped through a fashion magazine Evie left lying on the table. It was of no interest to her but she was bored and ready for Evie to come home. Finally she heard the click of the lock and sat straight up.
"Hi," Evie grinned as she walked through the door, dropping her bag at her feet.
"Hi, beautiful." Mal smiled leaning up to kiss Evie. "Where have you been?"
"Just walking around town mostly, window shopping, getting ideas." Evie sat down next to Mal and the girls shifted so Mal could wrap her arms around Evie as she leaned into her. "The monster asleep?"
Mal nodded, "she went down about 30 minutes ago."
"Mmm, good," Evie said, lazily. Laying in Mal's arms was so peaceful. She felt so safe and she loved it.
"So, I've been thinking," Mal started.
Evie chucked, "that's never good."
"Hush," Mal laughed. "I was thinking that maybe tomorrow while I'm at work, you could watch Macie."
Evie sat up and turned to face her girlfriend. "Seriously?"
Mal nodded, "I've talked to a lot of people about this and about my fears and while it's not easy for me, I need to trust you. You deserve a chance to have the person you're with trust you."
"Thank you," Evie said carefully. She was excited but nervous at the same time. "I promise, she will be great."
"I know, E. You're great with her and you guys will have fun." Mal told her, nervous but trying so hard to be supportive. "You've always been so good with Dizzy too. You always knew how to do the nurturing stuff. It was never my thing."
"Well you turned into a pretty good mom anyway." Evie smiled, leaning more into Mal, enjoying the warmth she gave off.
"I keep Macie alive so I guess I'm doing okay." Mal said back.
"I think you're doing a good job. I mean considering the mother you had. You're so much better than Maleficient. Or any of the mothers on the isle actually. Mine encouraged me to have an eating disorder and that beauty was all that mattered. Carlos's mom used to abuse him and she was mad as a hatter. There aren't really words for your mother. She treated you like you were dust that managed to get into her house." Evie paused for a moment, thinking about the hell they had gone through growing up. "You're kind of impressive, M."
"Do you think my mom would be proud of me?" Mal asked quietly. It was always something she wanted but tried to not think about.
"I'm sure she is proud of you, babe." Evie smiled.
Mal sat quietly for a while, lost in thoughts about her life the last 5 years. The moment Evie kicked her out of her life to this moment, laying with her arms wrapped around that same woman. She was happy. Actually happy. Drug free happy. It was nice.
"Are you okay?" Evie turned and sat up so she could look into those deep green eyes.
Mal nodded, "just thinking."
"Care to share?"
"I was just thinking about the last 5 years or so. You pushing me away, drugs, Macie, finding you again." Mal half smiled. "It's just been a lot."
Evie leaned in a kissed Mal, smiling before pulling away, "it's been rough."
"Do you care if we go to bed?" Mal asked, "I'm exhausted."
Evie nodded, smiling at the other woman. She stood up and held out her hand. Mal took ahold of it and hoisted herself up before they headed off down the hallway.
—
The loud sound of thunder woke Evie up a few hours later. She looked around when the lightening lit up the room. She hated storms. Her entire body tensed as another clap of thunder shook the room. Mal showed no sign of being disturbed.
Evie got up when she heard Macie cry from the other room. When she walked into the room, she saw Macie sitting up in her bed, sobbing at the noise.
"Hey, baby," Evie smiled, walking over to her.
"Blue," Macie made out through sobs. Tiny arms reached out until they closed around Evie. She immediately laid her head on the older girl's shoulder and continued to cry.
"You're okay, Mace," Evie told her as she gently rocked back and forth.
Mal woke with a start as a particularly loud clap of thunder radiated through the apartment. She looked over and panic sank in when she noticed Evie was gone.
"Evie!" Mal yelled, jumping from the bed and tearing through the room and into the hallway. A thousand thoughts rushed through her brain of where Evie would be at this time of night. "Evie!"
"Shhhhh!" Evie snapped from Macie's room.
Mal stopped in the doorway and took in what she saw. Evie was laying in Macie's bed with her and the toddler was completely passed out in her arms.
"She finally fell back asleep, M," Evie whispered to the young mom. "the storm woke her up."
Mal walked over and sat down on the bed and gently stroked the hair out of her daughter's face. "She's always been really scared of thunder."
"She was crying when I came in here." Evie told her.
"I feel awful I didn't wake up to it. I usually do." Mal chewed her bottom lip.
"It's okay, baby. I got her." Evie smiled and laid her arm out to signal Mal to lay down with her.
Mal laid down in Evie's arms and snuggled into the other woman, wrapping her arm around her daughter.
The 2 woman laid there for a while, enjoying the peaceful feeling.
After enjoying the peaceful sound of the rain falling, Mal looked over at Evie, the lightning causing her face to illuminate every minute or two. She couldn't believe how happy that face made her. How safe Evie made her feel.
"I love you," Mal said quietly.
Evie turned to face her girlfriend at the words. Had she heard correctly? "What?"
"I love you, Evie. I always have. I tried so long to not but I do. I can't help it."
Evie smiled and took in the words before responding, "I love you, too."
"We should get back to bed," Mal said softly.
Evie nodded and waited as Mal stood up and carefully lifted Macie off of her. Evie was sad when the weight of the toddler was removed. "She was warm," Evie laughed.
"Come on, I'll warm you up," Mal winked, holding out her hand and helping Evie up after putting Macie down on the bed.
"Is that so?" Evie laughed again.
"Mmmhmmmm," Mal responded and led the other woman back through to the bedroom.
Mal laid down on the bed and motioned for Evie to join her. Evie climbed into the bed and snuggled up into her girlfriend.
"How are you doing?" Mal asked, "with cravings and such?"
Evie was quiet for a moment. She wasn't entirely sure how to answer that question. "I'm okay. I mean obviously it's hard and some moments I just want to give in. I know it would be easier. It just wouldn't be better though."
"That's a good step though. Knowing it's not better to do drugs." Mal kissed the top of Evie's head, smiling into the blue hair.
Evie just nodded in response. She was so content lying in Mal's arms. "Kiss me?"
Mal happily captured Evie's lips in her own and gently moved against her. She smiled into the kiss, letting herself melt into Evie's body.
Evie returned the kiss, turning so her body pressed perfectly into Mal's, legs tangling together.
The kiss deepened quickly as passion, want and need took over and fogged their minds. Evie wrapped her arms around Mal and pulled her closer, not being able to close the distance enough. She moaned into Mal's mouth as their tongues danced with each other. Mal's hands roamed up and down her body, sending shivers up and down her spine.
Mal stopped the kissing long enough to remove her shirt. The heat from their bodies was becoming to much. Mal leaned back into continue kissing Evie but she was stopped. Evie removed her own shirt. Neither girls were wearing bras so when they returned to their previous duel, their breasts pressed against each other's, forcing moans to fall between kisses.
Panting eventually caused Mal and Evie to pull apart, resting their foreheads against one another.
"We should stop, E," Mal said. She knew they needed to calm down. She didn't want to cause Evie to panic.
Evie chewed on her lip, wrestling with her thoughts. "I don't want to stop."
"What?" Mal said, completely taken aback by Evie's words.
"I don't want to stop," Evie repeated, her voice shaking a little.
"Evie..." Mal said slowly. It's not that she didn't believe what Evie was saying, she was just concerned.
"I love you, Mal. I want to be with you. I can't be scared forever."
"I love you, too." Mal smiled before leaning in and returning her lips to their previous position.
Things heated up quickly once again. Mal pushed Evie onto her back and straddled her. She looked down at the almost naked body beneath her. Evie looked both scared and aroused and it caused Mal to worry.
"Evie," Mal said quietly. "Are you sure about this?"
Evie nodded in response.
"I need words, E." Mal told her. She wasn't doing anything without repeated verbal confirmation.
"I'm sure, Mal. Please...touch me." Evie said, trying to sound more confident than she actual was. She wanted it so badly but she was so scared at the same time.
Mal climbed off Evie and sat down next to her. She brought her hand up to the bright blue hair and ran her fingers through it before leaning down and gently kissing the bright red lips below. Mal ran her hands down Evie's stomach, tracing her fingers along skin. She reached the waistband of Evie's panties and ran her fingers under the band. Mal locked eyes with Evie and watched her reaction as she started to slowly move the underwear down Evie's thighs and then down her legs. She readjusted herself and pulled Evie's panties off completely. She looked up into the dark brown eyes and watched for any signs that she should stop. All she saw was pure arousal in the dark eyes.
Evie's breath hitched a little once her underwear was removed. She had been naked in front of Mal before but now more was going to happen. Her heart was pounding but she wanted Mal so badly.
Mal very careful brought her fingers to Evie's core and started tracing around. Evie felt like her skin was on fire but in a good way. Every single touch felt intense. "Mal..." Evie breathed out.
Mal smiled and watched as Evie squirmed at the lightest touch. She continued to trace her fingers around the outer lips and just let the touch drive her girlfriend crazy. "More?"
"Yes..." Evie breathed out in response.
Mal happily took that answer and brought her fingers over to Evie's clit and began very slow circles.
"Fuck," Evie moaned. Mal's fingers felt incredible. She could feel her brain trying to have flashbacks to the rape but she refused for it to happen. She focused as hard as she could on the woman she loved.
Mal continued to run her fingers in circles, listening to Evie's moans and gasps. After a few moments, Mal moved her fingers down to Evie's entrance and traced her fingers through the extremely wet center waiting for her. "Evie..." Mal gasped, feeling the slick, liquid there.
Mal took a moment and locked eyes on Evie's one more time for confirmation. "Are you ready?"
"Yes," Evie said. She thought she would go insane if she didn't get more of Mal soon. She was so caught up in the feeling of being touched by Mal that she didn't care anymore about her past. She just wanted Mal. In every way possible.
Mal nodded, feeling her own body growing wetter at the sights and sounds in front of her. She had never realized just how much Evie turned her on.
Evie literally stopped breathing when Mal's finger slipped inside of her. It was heaven. Once Mal curved her finger and starting sliding in and out, Evie thought she would lose her mind. She couldn't even see straight.
Mal very carefully but quickly slipped another finger inside the warm, tight area, immediately feeling the liquid coating that finger as well. In and out she moved her fingers, listening to Evie's pants and moans grow more intense.
Mal moved back up to be near Evie as she continued to move her fingers, loving the sounds echoing through the room. Mal looked down into Evie's eyes, which were fighting hard to stay open as the pleasure was ripping through her. Mal moved her fingers faster and faster and Evie gasped at the feeling.
"Mal..." she managed to get out, knowing she was close.
"I've got you, Evie," Mal said, moving her fingers as fast as she could until finally Evie tumbled over the edge.
"Fu..." Evie couldn't even get the word out as her body twisted and turned when she came.
Mal laid beside Evie and pulled her in close to let her come down from her high.
It took a while but eventually Evie was able to focus again on what was around her.
"Are you okay?" Mal asked. She was so scared that had gone too far too soon.
"Yeah," Evie said lazily before giggling.
"Why are you laughing?" Mal asked, smiling at Evie's reaction.
"You're amazing," Evie said, "I guess I didn't know that sex could feel like that."
Mal laughed at Evie's post orgasm high. "Maybe it's time we get some sleep."
"It's your turn," Evie insisted.
"This was about you. Not me, okay?" Mal told her, pulling her in close. "Let's just sleep."
Evie tried to argue but her exhaustion was winning the battle. "I love you, M."
"I love you too, E," Mal told her before closing her eyes and drifting off.
