During her time off to rehab her elbow, Charlotte had come pretty close to a decision. It hadn't been an easy one to try and reach. Committing herself to the fact that she wanted a relationship with a woman for the first time in her thirty two years was not something she could have done without putting a lot of serious thought into it. It definitely wouldn't have been fair to Sonya to get into something that she wasn't totally sure about.
It had been while she had watched the end of Sonya's match against Becky Lynch that Charlotte had reached the point where she knew beyond any shadow of doubt what her heart wanted. Watching her girl celebrate the biggest moment of her career, Charlotte's heart had been so overwhelmingly full. It had been full of pride, and yes, of love. She knew what love felt like, and that had been it. She was in love with Sonya Deville. There was no arguing with it. It was a fact.
Now, having just got back to their hotel room after the pay-per-view, Charlotte had to take the step, or maybe it was a leap, forward and communicate that fact to Sonya. She felt shy and nervous about doing so, but was nonetheless determined that this was the right time.
"What a night," Sonya sighed tiredly, theatrically flopping down onto her back on the bed.
"But a good night," Charlotte said, sitting down beside her. "It felt wonderful to get back in the ring, even if it was only for a few minutes. I've hardly ever missed any time through injury, and I don't enjoy it at all."
"It was great to see you back out there," Sonya replied, looking up at her. "Much as I would have obviously liked you to win, I have to say I'm happy for Ember. She's deserved a push for the longest time."
"Totally agree," Charlotte said, taking a deep breath. She was about to change to the subject to the one that had been on her mind. Her nerves had her heart beating hard and fast. "Honestly, the best moment of the night for me was watching you get your win. I felt so proud of you."
"Aww," Sonya cried, putting a hand to her chest in a gesture that conveyed how much the kind words meant to her.
Looking down at her, Charlotte put all the feeling she could muster into her voice. "I recognised what the feeling was, Son. It was more than simple pride. It was deeper than that. I've been married before, so I know it was the kind of thing you only feel for someone you love. I don't know if I should be using that word this soon, so I'm sorry, but I couldn't think of another way to put it."
"Oh, Charlotte," Sonya breathed in surprise, quickly sitting up. Charlotte's words had come as a shock to her, but in the best possible way. "You never have to apologise for saying that word to me, okay? And who says it's too soon? There's no law or rule about when you can tell someone you love them. When you know, you know. And I know I love you, too."
Leaning closer to Sonya, Charlotte kissed her softly on the lips. "Part of me is still nervous about all this, Son. But my heart knows what it wants. It hurts when you're not around, and it pounds when you kiss me or hold my hand. I want to be with you. I do need you to be mindful of the fact that I've never dated a girl before, though. I mean, at some point, I'm going to have to tell my mom and dad, and my brother. I honestly don't know how they would react. And that's before anything goes public."
"Coming out is not easy, to say the least," Sonya said gently. "It's one of the hardest things I've done in my life. It wouldn't be fair of me to pretend otherwise. I was able to get myself into the mindset that I was proud of who I was, and I loved my girlfriend. If anyone couldn't see that and be happy for me, that was on them."
"I don't want to think about that right now," Charlotte said, fearful that it could kill the moment. "All I want on my mind is that I love you, and here you are with me. I hated being away from you so much over the past few weeks."
"I'm here, and I'm not going away," Sonya promised, kissing her on the lips.
"I know that," Charlotte said quietly. Nerves gripped her again as she prepared to take another step forward. "So far, we've only kissed each other. I'm grateful for you moving at a pace that was comfortable for me. But tonight, I'd like us to go further."
Sonya put an arm around Charlotte and used it to pull her closer before kissing her passionately. The kiss went on for a minute, punctuated by breathless moans of pleasure. Eventually, Sonya replied. "I've told you I love you. Now I'll show you, Queen."
They kissed again, then Charlotte pulled her head back a little to force Sonya to stop. "Son, I need you to do something else for me."
"Anything," Sonya said, desperate to resume the kissing, and to go further.
"Promise to always call me Queen. Ever since you first said it to me, it does something to me."
"You'll always be my Queen," Sonya assured her. "If you want, I can be your filthy peasant."
"I like the sound of that," Charlotte gasped as they kissed again. "But tonight, I'll settle for being your Queen."
Sonya could waste no more time on talk. Still kissing Charlotte, she pushed her gently down onto the bed. "Then allow me to make love to you, my Queen."
Trembling in anticipation and also nervousness at her impending first sexual encounter with a woman, Charlotte lay there, surrendering herself to Sonya. "The Queen is all yours," she gasped.
Upon entering the room, Charlotte had removed her jacket. Sonya was left with a t-shirt and a bra to remove, which only took her a matter of seconds to accomplish. For the first time, she got to see Charlotte's breasts. "Gorgeous," she muttered as she began to caress them with her hands and softly kiss them, focusing particularly on the nipples.
Lying with her eyes closed, Charlotte bathed in the affection she was receiving, loving every moment of it. She was warm and wet, more than ready for Sonya to shift her attention down there.
But Sonya was in no rush. She was adept at building anticipation before giving a girl the ultimate pleasure of an orgasm. Taking her sweet time, Sonya gradually moved down Charlotte's body, using her hands, kisses and her tongue to heighten Charlotte's enjoyment the whole time. She also mumbled occasional sweet nothings to help put her girl at ease, knowing that there would be a certain amount of instinctive reluctance on this, their first time.
Reaching the top of Charlotte's jeans, Sonya unbuttoned them and pulled them down, then did the same with her panties.
Charlotte let out a short cry when Sonya's tongue went between her legs for the first time.
"Mmm, Queen," Sonya purred. "I'm going to need you to come for me."
"I want to," Charlotte said in between heavy breaths. She gripped the bedcover tightly in her fists as she began losing control.
After expertly building Charlotte up, Sonya knew it wouldn't take long for her to climax now that she was licking away at her pussy. And so it proved to be. With a loud, ecstatic moan, Charlotte released, covering the lower part of Sonya's face in her fluid.
"Oh my god," Charlotte gasped, lying there breathing heavily, sweating and feeling exhausted after a night of such emotional extremes.
"How was that for you, my Queen?" Sonya asked. She ran her fingers across her face so that they came away with Charlotte's come on them, and put them in her mouth one by one to clean them.
Watching her do it, Charlotte felt loved in a way that she hadn't been for a long time. Working for WWE could be a lonely business. But tonight, with Sonya, she had been with someone who undoubtedly loved her. "It was amazing, Son. I can't tell you how much I needed that; needed you."
"About as much as I needed it, and needed you," Sonya said. "I'll be right back."
Sonya got off the bed and went into the bathroom to wash her face. When she was done, she went back out into the room. Finding Charlotte now in bed, Sonya undressed and joined her under the covers.
"You're so beautiful, you know that?" Charlotte said adoringly. "Everything about you is literally perfect."
"I could say the same to you," Sonya replied.
They started kissing again, spending a few minutes enjoying it before Charlotte put her head down on her pillow.
"You look exhausted, Queen," Sonya said softly.
"I am. But in the best possible way."
Charlotte sounded so tired that Sonya knew she would be asleep in the very near future. She put an arm around her girlfriend, watching her eyes close. In moments, her breathing slowed and her mouth fell slightly open. She was sleeping.
"Sleep tight, Queen," Sonya whispered lovingly. "I love you." She kissed Charlotte's forehead, her lips barely making contact.
Closing her eyes, Sonya drifted off to sleep with her Queen in her arms.
A/N: Thank you to everyone who left a review last time!
I don't usually do chapters that are entirely smutty/fluffy, but I felt like it was needed at this point in the story.
Next time, we'll be at the Smackdown episode after the Royal Rumble. Who do you think will be next to confront Sonya, now that she has defeated Becky Lynch?
