Chapter Nine: Breaking the Girl
Kara slipped back between the sheets just before dawn. Her night was restless, but only with excitement and disbelief. Draping her arm around Lena's waist, her cool skin reacting even as she slept, pressing lips to breasts, burying her face in her neck, dancing her fingertips over her soft flesh, savoring each tingle, watching the rise and fall of her breath-this was her new meditation-this was her new home.
"Are you watching me sleep, Dr. Danvers?"
Lena's eyes remained closed, but she ran a gentle hand over Kara's head, down her neck, along her back, and over the cool skin of her round bottom.
"I might have taken a peek or two."
Kara crawled on top of Lena and rested her chin on her chest.
Lena opened her eyes, wrapped her arms around Kara's waist, and glided her lips over Kara's delicately.
"You are so adorable it hurts, Kara Danvers."
"Would you think I was a big dork if I told you I've been awake all night holding onto you like a giddy schoolgirl?"
"Nope. I already thought you were a big dork."
"Hey! Is that any way to speak to your dentist?"
Lena smiled and rubbed her cheek against Kara's.
"I adore you, beautiful. Making love to you all night and waking up next to you is the greatest feeling in the world."
"Doing terrible things to you in my dental chair was the greatest feeling in the world for me."
Lena kissed Kara's cheeks, her neck, and her ears lightly. She laid her head down on Kara's shoulder and pressed her weight into her deliciously. She moved a hand up to Kara's cheek and caressed it softly.
"What we did last night in your office was by far the sexiest thing I have ever taken part in. It was so hot. You were so hot with your little black panties and bra. My heart could barely take it."
"You were the hot one, Ms. Luthor."
"Do we have to go to work? How about we call in sick and I take you to Greece? I want to kiss every part of you on every grain of pure white sand. Come on. Let's go," Lena said playfully, trying to pull Kara from the bed.
Kara beamed and held on to Lena tighter. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't get close enough.
"Everything you say makes me want to tear your clothes off and propose marriage."
Kara blushed hard, immediately regretting her candor.
Lena just laughed and kissed Kara feverishly. She pulled back and panted.
"Let's learn each other's favorite color and then maybe I'll let you propose to me."
Lena caressed Kara's nose softly with her fingertip.
Kara chuckled, but her face dropped into a more thoughtful look of love.
"How are you so perfect? How do you always say the right thing?"
"Oh, trust me, I will definitely say the wrong thing from time to time, but you'll forgive me because you think I'm cute. Right, Dr. Danvers?"
"True. I think you're adorable, but why should I forgive you for everything you say?" Kara asked playfully.
"Because I will pay you in kisses until you forgive me and I will always stoke your excitement, or at least that what's you said last night. I've heard my kisses can knock a dentist right off her feet."
"Touché, Lena. Touché. Your kisses are my weakness. That and the mere thought of you."
Kara grinned. Lena looked deep into Kara's eyes and pulled her closer.
"Kara, in all seriousness, I know how complicated all of this is. I know you don't date patients. I adore you and if it means I must go to Dr. Guzman to make your life easier, I will."
"No, baby. It's fine. You need me… and I need you. I won't let you go. Even Alex and Nia told me I needed to do something selfish for once. If I can be selfish about anything, let it be love. I am a professional and can draw the line where I need to."
"You did a terrible job last night," Lena said.
Kara gave Lena a playful poke in the ribs.
"Well, you know that was a special case. You looked so beautiful and I have been fantasizing about you naked in my chair since the day we met. That examination chair will never be the same."
"Fuck, that's so hot. You were so hot. My God. The image of you in black lace undies wearing nothing but your little white coat. Damn Kara."
Lena let her hands search Kara's skin as she lapped and sucked at Kara's tongue hungrily. She moved down and kissed Kara's neck, grazed her lips over her breasts and kissed her belly.
Lena's stomach growled loudly. She blushed and buried her face in Kara's chest, but Kara just smiled and kissed her head.
"What do you say I make you some breakfast and you prepay me in some of those kisses?"
"I have a better idea," Lena said, looking into Kara's eyes and kissing her flat stomach. "How about I make love to you and then we make breakfast together?"
Lena moved her body down under the blanket before Kara could protest. Kara looked down and saw Lena move between her legs. She could feel Lena's hands spread them wide. Suddenly Kara's head fell back on the pillow and her eyes shut tight. She could feel Lena pressing her tongue to the very center of her. Light flicks tortured her, crippling her ability to think.
"Oh God, Lena," she screamed as she bit her lip and grabbed hold of the sheets with her fists. "Please never stop."
Lena wasn't sure what she was looking at when the video started. Her mouth was dry, and her heart raced.
Kara's call was a pleasant surprise, but heart dropped the moment she heard the panic in her voice. She knew there was something very wrong when Kara asked if she could come visit Lena at work during the middle of a busy workday. It only took Kara a few minutes to drive to the office, but it felt like an eternity.
"I don't understand," Lena said, looking back at Kara with concern. "Is this us?"
Kara leaned over and pulled her laptop closer to Lena.
"Someone was watching us and recorded it."
"You have cameras in your exam room?"
"That's just it. I don't have cameras, Lena. Someone installed cameras and has been watching us. I am so freaked out I can barely breathe."
Lena pulled her office chair back from her desk and turned to Kara. She took Kara's hand and looked deep into her eyes.
"If I find the person who is doing this, I will kill them. I promise. Do you know what they want?"
"Here is the message that came with the video," Kara said, opening the email message. Her hands shook uncontrollably.
I know what you've been up to, Dr. Danvers. I've got my eyes on you. You said you never date patients. YOU LIED. Looks like your breaking the rules, you dumb slut. I will send a copy of this video to your entire patient list and every dental oversight organization in the state if you don't end it NOW. I have eyes everywhere. I will know if you try anything. If I can't have you, no one will. Don't cross me or reporting you will be the nicest thing I do. I know where you work. I know where you live. I will nail your ass to the wall if you cross me again, you bitch.
Lena held Kara's hand tighter and bit her lip.
"Who the hell is this guy?"
"I don't know. I need to call Alex, but I don't want her to see the video for obvious reasons. I don't know what to do. I just knew I needed to find you. I'm scared, Lena."
Lena grabbed Kara and pulled her onto her lap. She pressed her face to Kara's chest and held on as tight as she could.
"We're going to figure this out, baby. Whoever this asshole is, he's not smart. He sent something with a digital footprint. Call Alex and we will nail this shithead."
"If he sends this to my patients, I could lose my license. I could lose my whole career in a flash."
"He won't get the chance to send anything. We'll figure this out. Just try to stay calm. You did the right thing coming here. He can't get in here. This place is like Fort Knox. We need to get all the cameras shut down and Alex needs to throw this guy in a cell. You are going to have to tell Alex right away so she can get to work."
"Lena. I hate to ask this," Kara said, hesitating.
Lena knew in her heart what Kara was going to say just by the sad look in her eyes.
"You need me to stay away right?" Lena asked.
"You know it's the last thing I want, but I just don't know what to do. This isn't just about the practice. He sounds dangerous. What if he hurts you? He sounds so angry."
Lena rubbed Kara's back and smiled. She placed her hand to Kara's cheek and caressed it softly with the back of her shaking fingers.
"I don't care about my safety, but this guy sounds insane. You need to be protected. I will stay away to keep you and your practice safe, but I'm just worried about you. This whole thing is creepy. We need to find out who is doing this to you. Do you have any idea who would want to hurt you like this? I am trying so hard to keep my composure, but all I want is to end this guy."
"I have no clue who he is. It must be a guy with the way he throws around the word 'bitch'. I'm just too freaked out to think."
Kara laid her hands on Lena's chest and gave her the saddest smile. "You're the only thing that makes sense right now. I can't let you go. I just can't."
Lena pressed her hands to Kara's cheeks and kissed her lips softly.
"If us being together is going to set off this nutjob, I will keep my distance. Your career is more important than anything."
"Not more important than you. I hope you understand that. I don't know how, but you came into my life when I needed you most and enveloped me. I just found you. You're mine and now someone wants to take you away from me."
"Baby, I promise you I will be here. Just do what you need to do, and I will wait for you. I promise. You mean the world to me and you are worth waiting for no matter how long it takes. You have my heart and you always will."
"I adore you, Lena."
Lena pulled Kara closer and rubbed her cheek against Kara's.
"I adore you too. Please baby, call your sister so she can start looking for this creep. I want to find out who this piece of crap is so I can rip him apart limb from limb for wanting to hurt you. I'm going to make him pay."
Kara moved a few strands of hair from Lena's face and smiled sweetly.
"I love how you protect me. I don't know what it's going to be like to not have you with me."
"I'll be here waiting. I promise. You know when we make a promise to each other it means something. I promise to love you with all of my heart no matter what happens."
"I promise to miss you every minute of every day. I feel like I'm breaking. I hate this."
"Just come and find me when you can talk again. I'll be here."
Lena wrapped her arms around Kara and held her close. They knew no matter what challenges they faced; they would eventually find their home in each other's arms.
"WILLIAM DEY! WILLIAM DEY! Where the hell are you? We have a mess in room two. Another kid got sick. Grab your mop and clean it up now!"
The head janitor of Hollywood Methodist Hospital stormed up and down the long corridor and bellowed loudly, despite the late hour. Dey gripped his cell phone and stared at it with madness in his eyes, unmoved by his boss's angry demand. He squatted low in the corner of the janitor's closet, staring at the camera feed on his phone. He wanted to see everything in her life.
"Wherever you go, I will see you, Dr. Danvers. I'm in your office. Soon, I will have eyes everywhere. No matter how hard you try to avoid me, I will find you. You have my demands. Let's see if you dump that stupid bitch. You're repulsive! Giving up a normal relationship with a man to do disgusting things with some woman. What a freak! I will make you both suffer. No more threats. I will take action."
"WILLIAM DEY! WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?"
The sadistic janitor slipped his phone back into his pocket, slinked out of the closet and dawdled towards room two to cleanup another pile of sick. He smiled devilishly.
"Go ahead and scream at me. It doesn't matter anymore. I finally have power over someone else. I hold all the cards. I WILL make the doctor and her little bitch girlfriend pay."
Dey slipped his earphones back over his ears and danced down the hall, evil propelling him forward.
"Breaking the Girl," by Red Hot Chili Peppers played.
