Elsa watched as Keahi sauntered into the confines of their cabin and kicked off her boots, "We probably only have a few hours before we hit that storm. So we should probably —" Keahi started, plopping down on the bed and leaning back, bracing her arms against the stiff mattress.
Elsa crossed the room, taking large strides and coming to stand in front of Keahi. Before Keahi could continue or question what she was doing, she leaned over and cupped Keahi's face and brought her lips down to Ki's in a heated kiss.
She didn't know why her hormones flared right now, but seeing how gentle and fretting Keahi could be, coupled with how cruel Crow had been to her…
And yet, Keahi was kind and considerate.
Crow never deserved to have her in his life.
Elsa pulled away just long enough to look into dazed green eyes as they looked up at her.
"I'm not complaining but what brought that on?" Keahi whispered, the raspy sound of her voice only had Elsa continue, wordlessly.
She leaned in and took Keahi's lower lip, sucking gently there and putting a hand to Ki's chest to ease her down.
Keahi was always the aggressor, always in control in these situations. And Elsa didn't mind because the relinquish of her careful control was nice to hand over. It was nice...to be controlled or give up that control and give it to someone you trusted.
But not now.
It was her turn.
Elsa crawled on top of Keahi, straddling her. Keahi gripped her thighs and went to roll her over, but Elsa clenched her legs and put a stern hand to Keahi's chest to keep her in place. "Not tonight." Elsa murmured.
Keahi looked confused, her sun-kissed, bronzed cheeks flushing under Elsa's heated gaze.
Elsa trailed her index finger languidly from Keahi's collarbone, to her chest, down her shirt. The tip of her finger glowed and the shirt shimmered and materialized under her touch.
"I hope you don't listen to anything your brother has fed you," Elsa whispered as the clothing wisped away in particles of glowing ice. Keahi clenched Elsa's thighs, her grip trembling as her fingers twitched.
Elsa tucked a strand of blonde hair behind her ear as she leaned over, kissing the muscled contours of Keahi's stomach. Her muscles contracted with every soft kiss Elsa gave, her rasping breath haggard through the cabin.
She didn't know what got into her, she really didn't. But with the danger they may be facing, with the way Crow spoke to Keahi floating through her head…
A swell of protectiveness overcame her. She wanted Keahi to feel valid and sincerely hoped she did.
"I won't let anyone speak to you that way. Not anymore. Because we may be broken in different ways," Elsa's voice was low against Keahi's skin as she trailed kisses up her chest. Her mouth came around her nipple where her tongue slowly flicked against it.
Keahi arched her back against Elsa, and she tentatively ran her teeth there, pulling back just enough to speak. "But together we are mended."
When she sat up, her hands running along Keahi's bare chest, she met Ki's gaze. Her eyes glistened and her green eyes brimmed with unshed tears.
Elsa had never seen such a sweltering of emotion there. It seemed Keahi got embarrassed and grabbed one of the small, scratchy pillows and covered her face.
She gingerly took the pillow so Keahi couldn't hide behind it as Keahi refused to meet her gaze.
Elsa said nothing and just leaned down to kiss her cheek, then her eyelids. The salty taste of tears touched her lips and she lingered there for a moment longer before she pulled back just enough to trail a dusting of kisses along Keahi's cheek and to her neck.
Keahi's hand came to rest on Elsa's cheek and she kissed her palm, angling her head so that her tongue flicked out against Keahi's thumb but she took it in her mouth where the velvet smoothness of her tongue ran along and sucked there.
A staggering breath tore from Keahi's throat and her hips arched under Elsa.
Keahi's hand were on her, hot on her thighs and moving to the junction of her thighs. But right now, it was Elsa's turn to show her adoration.
She waved a hand and blue snow fluttered around Keahi's wrist where ice cuffs formed and shackled to the wooden headboard.
Keahi scowled suddenly, "What are you doing?" She moved her hands against the icy cuffs, rattling them to test their strength. They started to sizzle and Elsa could feel the increase in temperature under her.
"Taking back a little control." Elsa murmured in a husky whisper. Reigning kisses down Keahi's chest to her stomach where she bit and the sizzling of the cuffs stopped when Keahi's attention was taken away.
Keahi let out a hiss of air and rolled her hips.
Elsa kissed the muscles of her stomach, the slight swell of abs that shadowed there and down to her hip. Touching the fabric of the midnight blue pants, they shimmered and shifted away in a flurry of snow that vanished.
"Not fair," Keahi breathed out in a whimper as Elsa strayed further down and kissed the inside of Keahi's thigh.
She put on a confident front, but this was the first time she'd attempted this and nerves sweltered in her stomach.
Her breath fanned out against Keahi's thigh before her mouth came over Keahi's core where her tongue flickered out and she tested between keeping her tongue soft or rigid, depending on Keahi's response.
Keahi's moans echoed in the small space of the cabin as her hips surged closer to Elsa's mouth.
She took that as encouragement and explored Keahi's body with her mouth and tongue.
Keahi was molten hot and wet. Keahi's hips writhed against her, she heard something shatter and one of Keahi's hands tangled in her hair.
"Ah, Elsa," Keahi's raspy voice was dripping with an erotic whisper and it caused her to look up just enough so she could meet Keahi's gaze across the contours of Keahi's body.
When their eyes met, Keahi tilted her head back and arched her hips.
Keahi's body tightened as her body twitched before erupted tightly against her in a wave as she came against her mouth.
When Keahi's body relaxed back against the bed, Elsa sat up and braced herself over Keahi, the woman's chest heaving and she gave Keahi a sultry smile as she ran her hands over her chest.
"What," Keahi finally breathed out, sitting up as she curled her hands through Elsa's hair. "Has gotten it into you?"
Elsa wrinkled her nose playfully and wiggles her hips, "Maybe it's the thrill of adventure."
"Or you hit your head too hard falling from that giant." Keahi grinned, tapping her index finger to Elsa's forehead.
Elsa laughed in response, but it was cut short when the boat lurched violently. Elsa sat up and looked around uneasily, the heat of the moment dissipating.
"Ahem," Keahi cleared her throat.
Elsa glanced back and giggled, realizing Keahi had no clothes left and waved her hand to return Keahi back to a comfortably dressed state. They both sat on the edge of the bed until the boat finally stopped lurching violently back and forth. It felt like an eternity, but Elsa knew it was probably only ten minutes or so.
Footsteps tapped out in the hall and the handle to their room turned.
They both stood to see the door squeak open. Pips and Olaf stood groggily, both coming into the room. Olaf struggled to get onto the bed and Pips came to stand in front of both of them.
Elsa leaned over to pick up Pips and set her on the bed, where she curled up between herself and Keahi.
Elsa smiled endearingly at the child and moved a strand of honey blonde from the girl's face. "I guess she's our lost puppy now." Elsa joked, laughing tenderly and glancing over at Keahi who only smiled back and at her reached to take her hand.
"Did you feel that?" Anna's voice drifted into the room, it was laced with terror.
Before Elsa could respond, Anna practically ran over to them and sat down on the bed as the ship groaned and teetered from side to side as the waves got choppy.
But Elsa wasn't afraid now.
She felt empowered.
