Chapter 7 - Like a Dream
Even without using Kara's super-speed, Kara and Lena reached Lena's place faster than they would have thought. Their hands were joined as if they were physically unable to part from each other.
Without letting go of Kara's hand, Lena slid the key into the lock, and quickly pulled the door open.
With a beaming smile, Lena tugged them both inside and drew Kara even closer to her as she connected their lips in a slow scorching kiss that only caused to increase the intensity of the fervor they felt for each other.
Lena moaned into Kara's mouth as Kara pressed her deeper to her body, making them step to the front door that was still open. A louder moan escaped Lena when she pushed the door close with her back, not from the impact she felt, but from the fact that Kara's thigh was pressed between her own, and against her center.
Kara pulled away from Lena's mouth, but still held her tight. "Sorry," she breathed out.
Lena let out a quick chuckle. "There's nothing to apologize for, my heart." She smiled, putting her hands to Kara's cheeks and kissing her deeply. "I think we could use some of your super-speed to get upstairs though."
Kara grinned. She picked Lena up, between her arms, and carried her as if she was her bride.
Quickly, Kara flew them to the top of the stairs and put Lena down on the floor.
Lena smiled and pressed a kiss to Kara's lips. She took Kara's hand in hers and led them to her bedroom.
They stepped inside, Kara pushed the door close, and pulled Lena between her arms. She kissed her with an ardent desire, and put a hand to Lena's back, brushing her fingers against the zip of her blue dress.
Kara withdrew from the kiss, her face was flushed and her breathing heavy. "Can I?"
Equally breathless, Lena smiled and nodded her approval, allowing Kara to remove the fabric that covered her body.
Kara kissed Lena lovingly on the lips before pulling away and locking their gazes together.
Leisurely, Kara slid the zipper down, and trailed her fingertips on Lena's skin, feeling her girlfriend shiver slightly at that contact as her green eyes burned with desire.
Kara smiled, and delicately tugged the dress down. Her breath hitched and got caught in her throat at the sight displayed in front of her that caused her brain to short circuit.
Lena was standing in front of her with lacy white underwear that seemed to be very expensive.
In Kara's eyes, Lena was completely flawless, and she couldn't believe that she was lucky enough to be the one that Lena had chosen to be with.
Awestruck, Kara couldn't take her eyes off Lena. Never in her life she had felt the need to touch someone so much. But there were so many things that she wanted to do, that she wasn't even sure where to start.
Kara nibbled at her lips and kept staring, too mind-blown to make her first move.
Lena's eyebrows went up. "Are you going to touch me or keep staring?" She smirked.
Kara shook slightly her head. "Both," she smiled. "You are the most beautiful woman of the world, Lena Luthor."
A slight blush made its way on Lena's face. She beamed.
Kara put both of her hands to Lena's cheeks and connected their lips in a searing kiss.
Their lips locked in a deep kiss, Lena snaked an arm around Kara, and led them to the bed.
They sat down at the edge of the bed and kissed for a long time as their hands trailed over each other.
Kara put a hand to the clasp of Lena's bra and withdrew from the kiss to look at her girlfriend and silently asking her the permission to take her bra off.
Lena smiled fondly at Kara, and nodded her head before leaning in and pressing their lips together.
Slowly, Kara unhooked Lena's lacy bra and put it on the floor. She slithered her hands to Lena's chest and softly cupped her breasts, causing Lena to moan into their kisses.
Kara leaned her forehead with Lena's. She smiled and started to knead her breasts very softly, enjoying the softness of her girlfriend's skin under her hands.
Lena gasped, "You make me feel incredible."
Kara slid her hand up to Lena's cheek. "You are incredible, my love." She smiled.
Lena beamed. Not able to keep her lips away from Kara's, she leaned in and kissed her with all the love and desire she felt.
Kara withdrew from the kiss, and caressed Lena's cheek. "Lie down, my beautiful princess."
Lena smiled and did as Kara had told her. Laying on the bed, her stare was deep on her girlfriend.
Kara took her dress off, and gently climbed atop her. She pulled her glasses off and put them on the bedside table.
Kara leaned in to connect their lips in a long deep kiss as her hands trailed on Lena's body.
"Kara," Lena gasped when Kara began scattering kisses all over her neck as her hands stroked her hips.
Kara smiled against Lena's neck and started sucking at the freckle of her throat, eliciting a restrained moan from her girlfriend. Kara took her time, and gave the same care to every freckle as Lena's breathing quickened.
Lena choked on her breath when she felt the soft brush of Kara's tongue on her nipple. Her body started shaking, and she tangled her hand into her girlfriend's blonde locks.
Her hands stroking Lena's skin, from her abs to her stomach, Kara ravished every inch of her chest with kisses that caused Lena to moan and gasp quietly.
Kara reached Lena's panties with her hand, and crawled up to face her girlfriend.
Lena's eyes fluttered open.
"Can I take them off?" Kara breathed out.
"Yeah," Lena whispered.
With gentleness, Kara slid the moist fabric down, and discovered Lena's naked body for the first time. Her eyes widened in awe. She gazed deeply up and down before sliding up her look to stare at Lena with love. "You are wonderful." She beamed, still awestruck to be with Lena this way.
"I'm all yours, darling." Lena said as if she knew Kara needed to hear it for starting to believe it.
Kara's face lit up. "I love you." She kissed Lena's lips. "So, so, so much." she said between her kisses.
Bringing her hands to Kara's cheeks, Lena smiled. "I love you too, my heart." She pressed her lips to Kara's.
With the happiest of smile still stuck on her face, Kara rested her forehead with Lena's. "I really wanna make love to you, now."
Lena let out a laugh. She kept laughing until an unrestrained moan escaped her throat when Kara snuck her delicate hand between her thighs, and began caressing her overflowing center.
Not able to keep her eyes open, Lena closed them, taking sharp intakes of air as Kara's fingers ran slowly into her soaked folds.
"Do you trust me to use my powers on you?" Kara asked quietly.
Lena's eyes flew open at the question. She put a hand to Kara's cheek and locked their gazes. "I trust you with everything." she said in the most truthful and serious tone.
Kara smiled and leaned in to press their lips together in a soft and loving kiss.
Lena gasped and closed her eyes when she felt Kara circling her sensitive nub and rubbing it rapidly. Kara kept accelerating her pace, and Lena tangled one hand into blonde locks as her breathing sped up as the seconds passed by.
Kara seized softly Lena's hand, and entwined their fingers together. Her other hand explored deeper her girlfriend's spilling center, and she effortlessly slid her fingers into Lena, using her super-speed to draw her to a bliss she wanted to give her more than anything. Her gaze was deep on her girlfriend as she was bringing her towards a strong pleasure.
Lena felt so breathless that she couldn't even moan. From the way Kara's fingers were moving into her and rubbed her nub, she could easily figure out that Kara was using her super-speed on her, and that thought caused her to feel even more aroused. Which made her thrust her hips against Kara's hand and squeezing her other hand.
Kara smiled at the view displayed beneath her. She added more strength, and more speed to her thrusts and caresses until she felt a wave of hot liquid pouring over her wrist. She slowed down her movements, helping Lena to gently get back to reality.
Lena's eyes fluttered open on Kara. She beamed, putting a hand to Kara's cheek and bringing their faces closer to connect their lips in a searing kiss full of love.
Carefully, Kara withdrew her fingers from Lena's center, causing her girlfriend to emit a tiny moan.
"You okay?" Kara asked.
"Better than ever," Lena replied with a grin
Kara smiled, and brought her fingers to her mouth, cleaning Lena's arousal from them. She shifted her position to lay beside Lena, and draped an arm around her.
After long minutes of silence, Lena let out a chuckle. "I can't believe it."
Kara's brow furrowed slightly. "What?"
Lena spun her head to look at Kara. She smiled. "For someone who wasn't sure what to do earlier on, I'd say you seemed like an expert to me."
"You inspired me." Kara said, pressing a kiss to Lena's cheek.
"I'd like to know something though..." Lena smiled. "It wasn't the first time that you were using your super-speed for that, right?" She quirked an eyebrow.
"I, um..." Kara cleared her throat. "It... It was the first time I was using it on... someone else." she said, a blush making its way on her face.
Lena let out a laugh. "You're so cute." She pressed a kiss to Kara's cheek and kissed her blush away. "And super hot." She captured Kara's lips in a deep kiss.
Kara moaned into the kiss before pulling away. "I still I have a lot to learn though." She wiggled her eyebrows with a smirk on her face.
Lena put a hand to Kara's cheek. "I'd be more than happy to teach you everything you want, my heart." She smiled.
Kara beamed.
Lena put an arm around Kara and pulled her even closer as she connected their lips, making Kara moan when she slowly tugged her panties down, allowing their bodies that ached for each other to be fully pressed together.
Breathless, they rested their foreheads together and smiled, both knowing that they wouldn't get a lot of sleep tonight, and absolutely not caring one bit about that.
After she had been awoken at dawn by a bird chirping outside, Kara gazed with love at Lena who was still sound asleep beside her. The happiest of smile was stuck on her face as she recalled the events of the previous night. Everything had been more perfect that anything she could have ever pictured. She didn't know that it was possible, but what happened between them last night made her fall even more in love with Lena.
Lena's eyes fluttered open. She smiled at Kara. "Thanks, it was real."
Kara's brow furrowed, "What?"
"Ever since we started dating, I always wake up thinking that all of it has only been a dream. Waking up next to you erases that feeling quickly, and I'm grateful for that. But… Last night has been so perfect that it really increases that feeling I have that makes me feel that what happens between us is too good to be true." Lena said, gazing deep at Kara.
Kara put a hand to Lena's cheek. "I know what you mean, my beautiful princess. But I can assure you this is real. I'm real. I love you. And I'm not going anywhere. Unless you want me to."
Lena brought her hand to Kara's wrist and caressed it softly with her thumb. "I don't want you to go anywhere. I love you so much, Kara."
Kara smiled. "Then it's settled... We're stuck together."
Lena let out a laugh. "I couldn't have dreamed of someone better to be stuck with."
"Same," Kara pressed her forehead to Lena's. "I love you. I feel like I'm even more in love with you since last night."
"Really?" Lena smiled. "I'm that good?"
Kara chuckled, and slightly pulled away. "I didn't mean it like that. But, yes, you're really good."
Lena put an arm around Kara, and pulled her closer. "I'd say that we're good together." She smiled.
Kara smiled back and leaned in to connect their lips together.
Lena deepened the kiss and slithered her tongue into Kara's mouth as her hands started trailing down her girlfriend's toned muscles.
Kara moaned and slightly pulled away, smirking. "Are you the kind of person who likes having sex early in the morning, Miss Luthor?"
A slight blush made its way on Lena's face. "I wasn't before waking up next to you." She cleared her throat. "We don't have to do anything though. We can go take a breakfast." she said, about to slide away.
"Breakfast can wait. Come here." Kara smiled, putting an arm around Lena and softly pulling her closer.
Lena wrapped an arm around Kara, smiling when she felt Kara's hand brushing down her bare back.
If being with Kara was a dream, Lena was sure of one thing, she didn't want to wake up.
But when their lips joined in a mind-blowing kiss that only they could share, Lena believed in Kara's words and in the reality of the love that united them.
At a coffee shop, Lena and Andrea were at a table, seated across each other.
One week had passed since her first night with Kara, and Lena was so happy that it gave her that feeling that she was constantly floating. And she had floated enough in the air with Kara to know what floating actually felt like.
For the first time in her life, Lena felt truly happy, safe, and peaceful. Being with Kara made her feel as though nothing could hurt her. That everything would always be amazing as long as they were together. She still felt as if she was living in a dream sometimes. A dream so beautiful that she would never have dared to daydream about it.
"You're glowing," she heard Andrea's voice, taking her out of her thoughts.
Lena looked at her best friend and frowned. "What do you mean?"
"You look like you've been hit by the sun."
Lena smiled and looked up at the sun through her sunglasses. It made her think of Kara, and how the sunlight was affecting her. That reminded of all the science-y conversations she had with Kara over the past week. Her smile widened at this.
"She must be very good." Andrea said.
Lena looked at Andrea, a frown making its way on her face.
"Kara. She must be very good if she can make you smile like this. In fact, I've never seen you smile so much." Andrea said, taking her sunglasses off.
"Kara is amazing," Lena beamed.
"Don't get too attached. Summer is almost over."
"It's not a summer fling." Lena said with so much conviction that it made Andrea's eyes widen in surprise.
"Really?"
"Yeah. We have already talked about this. We're both gonna be busy soon. But I know we can make our relationship work beyond summer."
"You really love her, do you?"
"Yeah," Lena smiled.
"Are you sure she feels the same?"
"She does," Lena said without a doubt.
Andrea put her sunglasses back on, and stayed silent for a while, until she smiled astonished, "Wow! I've never thought I'd see the day you'd make time for a serious relationship."
"Doing that with Kara feels effortless." Lena beamed, taking a sip of her coffee.
"Are you sure she's from this planet?"
Lena almost choked on her coffee at this question. She cleared her throat, and her body stiffened.
"I'm kidding." Andrea laughed.
Lena relaxed at this.
"I still think she must have some kind of super-powers though if she can impact you that much."
Lena smiled awkwardly, relieved that she hadn't taken another sip of her coffee yet and doing her best not to show anything that would let her best friend know that she was right about Kara.
One week later, on the pavement, in front of Danvers Baked Good, Kara and Lena had their lips joined together. Every time Kara had to work, Lena accompanied her, and the two of them always struggled to part.
Lena moved away from Kara's mouth, and put her hands on her cheeks. "You should go now before Alex call you out." She smiled.
"You're right." Kara agreed, but instead of pulling away, she leaned in again to press her lips to Lena's.
Lena smiled into the kiss and wrapped her arms around Kara's shoulders, feeling pleasant shiver course through every inch of her when Kara brought their bodies even closer.
Kara rested her forehead with Lena's, and sighed blissfully. "If you weren't a such good kisser, that wouldn't be so difficult to let you go."
Lena let out laugh. "I'm sorry." she apologized with a smile and connected their lips again.
Kara slid her hand up to Lena's cheek and kissed her deeper before resting their foreheads together. "I should really go now."
Lena smiled, "Yeah. You should." She gave another quick kiss to Kara's lips before taking the resolution for them both, and slowly pulling away from her girlfriend.
"See you tonight?" Kara asked even though she knew the answer.
"Of course," Lena replied with a beaming smile.
With love, Lena watched Kara walk into the shop. She smiled and spun on her heels to make her way to her place.
When she arrived in front of the house, Lena was surprised to see that the door wasn't locked. With a frown on her face, and a sinking feeling settling within her, Lena stepped inside the house.
"Andrea?" She called for her best friend, although Andrea had come home earlier and started working a couple of days ago, and therefore she couldn't be there.
Still on her guard, she stepped into the living-room, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. But Lena could feel that something was out of place. She couldn't explain why, but she had a very bad feeling about the events of the day. She had awoken with that bad feeling, but Kara had been able to chase it away with her smile, her kisses and her caresses.
At this very moment though, Lena was alone with her fears.
She threw her purse onto the couch, and exhaled when she felt weird shivers running down her spine.
"Hi, dear little sis." She heard a voice coming from behind her. Which caused her entire body to tense. Her breathing quickened and her heart sped up. She swallowed thickly, hoping that she had simply imagined hearing this voice. She turned around though, and discovered the smirking face of her brother.
"Lex," she breathed out in utter disbelief. "What are you doing here?"
Lex's smirk widened. "I wanted to check in on you. I'm worried about you. I'm afraid you might have lost your mind. Which is a shame. You have the most brilliant mind of this world. Of any world, probably."
Lena folded her arms over chest, as if she was trying to shield herself. "I'm fine. More than fine even. You can go back to Metropolis."
"And letting my sister being too close to an alien? No way."
Lena started nibbling at her lips, already knowing that she wouldn't be able to keep Kara safe from her brother. A lump made its way into her throat, but there was no way she would allow herself to cry in front of him. Her body stiffened.
Lex scoffed. "Did you really think you could have kept your relationship with Kara Zor-El secret from me?"
"What do you know about Kara?"
"I know a lot of things. I know what's going on between you two."
Lena's jaw clenched and her look hardened. "What do you want?"
Lex smirked, and stepped closer to Lena. "I want you to go back to Metropolis with me. I want you to help me defeat Superman once and for all."
Lena let out a humorless laugh. "And you really think I'm going to do that?"
"Not willingly. But now I have a mean to motivate you." He smirked widely. "That almost makes me want to thank Kara Zor-El."
"If you really think you can take her down, you're going to be really disappointed." Lena said, suddenly feeling confident that Kara was strong enough to protect herself. "Kara is stronger than you will ever be."
"Perhaps." Lex scoffed, stepping away from Lena. "But that's not the case of her human vulnerable family."
"What do you mean?"
Lex smirked. "You know what I mean. And you know what you have to do for stopping me from doing that."
"I will never hurt anyone." Lena said.
"I'm trying to save the world, Lena. I'm not the bad guy here."
Lena shook her head. "You've become crazy, Lex." She stepped closer to him. "But you can still change. You can be better." she said, desperately wanting to get back the brother she had lost and stopping him from hurting people.
Lex stepped away. "I'm good as is. I will be better the day I won't have to worry about Superman anymore."
"He used to be your friend. How can you do that?"
"I opened my eyes and started seeing things for what they really are. Soon, you will to."
"Never," Lena said in a firm tone.
"You're a Luthor, Lena. It's in your blood."
Lena frowned, confused by her brother's words, and panicked by what he was implying.
Lex smirked. "I am sorry to blurt it out like this. But you are a Luthor by blood, Lena."
"What do you mean?" Lena refused to believe him.
"I had suspicion when our father brought you home. So I tested your DNA, and got the result I was expecting. We share the same blood, sis. Well, half of it at least."
"I don't believe it." Lena shook her head.
"You can test your DNA again if you need proof. Then, maybe you will be on my side."
"Even if what you're saying turns out to be true. You can be sure, I will never be like you." Lena said.
Lex smirked. "Whatever you turn out to be. Whatever you choose to do. Luthor and Super aren't meant to get along. If you don't let go of Kara Zor-El, she will be the one to turn her back on you." He stepped closer to Lena, smirking widely. "You may love her. But, do you really think she loves you?"
"Yes," Lena said without hesitation.
"Do you really think she would keep loving you if something happened to her family when you could have prevented this from happening?"
"Let Alex and Eliza out of this!"
"You actually care about them too. That's even better." Lex laughed delighted.
"I can't win either way, Lex. Kara would never forgive me if I helped you take down her cousin." Lena stated the obvious. "That's rather pretentious of you to think that you can defeat him by the way."
"I can't do it on my own. That's why I need you!" he said, almost losing his temper. "I have the guts to admit that you're smarter than me. Doesn't it mean something to you?" He smirked, quickly finding back his calm.
"No," Lena said without flinching.
Lex sighed frustrated and stepped away. He looked away from Lena and rubbed his forehead. Looking at Lena again, he smirked. "I understand. You want to be good, I can respect that. But I have a plan, a goal, and I need you to help me. If you don't, some nasty things could happen to everyone you care about. I think I would start with the idiot you consider your best friend. Then, I would come after... I don't even remember their names. But I would come after your girlfriend's family. And someday, even if it has to take me decades, I would defeat the two Kryptonians."
Lena swallowed thickly, fighting back the tears that threatened to spill out. Her chin quivered, but she did her best to regain her composure.
Lex smirked, stepping closer to Lena. "Now you have a choice to make, Lena. You can either work me with and limit the casualties. Or you can work against me, and... Who knows what could happen?" He stepped away, already on his way out. "The choice is yours!"
When she heard the door closing, tears started rolling down on Lena's cheeks as she stood in the middle of the living-room. She began shaking.
Feeling as if the reality was suddenly catching up with her, Lena realized that whatever she would choose, she would lose. She was going to either lose Kara, or put a lot of people in danger. Lena wanted to talk about this with Kara, so they could figure things out together. She knew that it was also what Kara would want her to do if she knew what was happening. She knew that Kara would hold her, reassure her, tell her that everything would be okay. And Kara's presence made her feel so safe that Lena was pretty sure she would believe her. But the things Lex said planted the seed of a doubt in her mind and her heart. Not the kind of doubts he had been trying to make her feel though. Lena was convinced that Kara would still love her no matter. That Kara wouldn't care that she was a Luthor by blood. But the possibility of that fact made Lena feel that she wasn't worthy of Kara's love. It made her start thinking that Kara would be better off without her.
With the deepest ache in her heart, Lena realized that she didn't deserve the best thing that had ever happened to her.
Lena sat down on the couch, and wiped her tears away with the back of her hands. She knew she had to break things off with Kara. She knew she had to stay away from her. She also knew that being close to her brother was the best way to know what he was actually up to. And that way, she could protect people from him. That way she could find a way to outsmart him without him seeing it coming.
The sound of her phone chiming in her purse took Lena out of her thoughts. She grabbed it and took her phone out.
Tears welled up into Lena's eyes when she saw that she got a text from Kara. Her heart ached even more and tears fell down on their own accord as she read it.
My love, I just wanted to remind you that meeting you is the best thing that has ever happened to me. You are the most incredible person I have ever met. You are wonderful. I love you so much, my beautiful princess.
PS : I can't wait to see you tonight. :)
Despite the painful pressure on her chest, Lena smiled tearfully at Kara's words. She swallowed thickly. It was probably the last time she received a text like this. That thought made her heart ache deeper. It made her want to call Kara and spill everything out. But Kara deserved so much better than being tangled into the mess that was her life. That's why Lena knew that no matter how much it was painful, she had to let go.
Lena had been right from the start.
Being with Kara was like a dream, and just like every dream, it had to end.
