So, this ended up a bit too long, at first I wanted to split it into two chapters, but now it's just a long one :) Somehow the chapters grew to be connected story parts instead of oneshots, I hope you don't mind!
Have fun!
The Ghost had been hard to catch... even more because Erin could tell Holtzmann weren't as concentrated as usual. She saw Patty's looks , but Abby was acting like nothing ever happened. So maybe, she did keep it to herself. And Erin knew she should tell Abby, they were best friends and she deserved to hear it from Erin.
Back in the firehouse Holtzmann became obviously nervous and Erin very well remembered her words... "as soon as we're back I'm going to lick you senseless".
Holtzmann barely heard any of the stuff Abby was saying about the Ghost. Her mind was with Erin and how soft and hot her tongue had been. She craved to be with her again and that alone was something that Holtzmann had never experienced before. She'd always been able to focus on her work. The things that woman did to her... she made her feel like a horny teenager.
"Holtzy, what the hell is wrong with you?" Abby finally asked. Patty turned away to get herself a cup of coffee and Erin just stood there, cheeks red.
"Nothing, I was just thinking that Erin promised me to test my newest discovery and I'm really... really excited about it so..." she awkwardly gestured towards the staircase and Erin almost stumbled over her own feed, trying to get there.
"It's not deadly again, is it?" Abby asked.
Holtzmann shook her head while walking backwards, almost crashing into Erin, who stood awkwardly at the staircase with already one foot on the first step.
"Okay I can't stand this anymore, please tell me why the hell everyone is acting like there's something wrong here? Patty?"
"What me? No way, let those two explain." Patty said, holding her hands up in a protective pose.
Abby's look was hard to stand and Holtzmann felt herself getting mad with unfulfilled desire for her girlfriend, so much, that she was about to scream: "Hell Erin is my girlfriend and she promised to fuck me senseless so leave us alone please", but instead she just opened her mouth without saying a word. She was a direct person... but not that direct.
"Erin?" Abby asked, but Holtzmann could see that her girlfriend's cheeks just gained another shade of red.
"You're planning my birthday or what?"
"YES! Thanks for blowing our cover Abby, you just ruined the surprise." Erin chanted and Patty chocked on her coffee.
Holtzmann watched her girlfriend with a slight sting of pain in her chest. Why would she hide it so desperately from her best friend?
"I'm okay with that... as long as you make the party great! No confetti, yeah? Nothing that's hard to clean up..." she said, with an happy smile on her face. Great. Now they really had to do a not so surprising surprise party for Abby...
"Got it!" Erin said before she almost ran up the stairs with Holtzmann following her.
"Why won't you tell her the truth Erin?" she asked once they were alone in the lab.
Erin just shrugged, instantly working on Holtzmann's jumpsuit.
"No really, why? You're ashamed of me?"
"What? No, of course not, you're the best thing that ever happened to me!" Erin answered, still working on pulling her lovers jumpsuit down.
"Then why?"
Erin finally stopped. She looked despondent, eyes on the ground. The sexual tension was gone and was quickly replaced with insecurity and fear. Holtzmann feared that their little adventure was over. Maybe Erin had just wanted to play around a bit, after all it had only been about sex, as far as she could tell. Of course they'd been cuddling and kissing and it had been emotional, but none of them ever admitted that it could have been something serious. She had just assumed they were in a relationship...
"Erin?"
"I don't know... it's.. I don't know..." Erin whispered, leaning back at the lab table, eyes still focused on the ground.
"So this is all?" Holtzmann asked, feeling a fierce sting in her chest. Erin didn't say a word.
"Great." the blonde finally said, zipping up her jumpsuit and walking back to the door. She wanted to be alone and she had nowhere else to go. For a second time that day she desperately wished to have an own flat...
Holtzmann came back from a long walk after sunset. She hadn't been fair to Erin, she finally noticed. Obviously Erin struggled with something and she should've been there for her, encouraging her to work on whatever she'd been afraid of. Instead she'd ran away. She had forgotten to take her mobile phone with her and had walked around town for hours. Her heart ached for Erin, she desperately wanted to wrap her arms around her, tell her she was sorry.
The firehouse was dark and silent. Only when she reached the second floor she felt exhaustion kick in. She stumbled over to Ursula in the dark and jerked away when she suddenly felt someone already lying on the couch.
"Holtzmann... finally, where have you been?"
"Erin?"
The lamp on the nightstand went on and she saw Erin's sleepy face, eyes full of worry.
"I was worried. You didn't answer your phone..." she whispered, sitting upright to give the blonde space to sit.
"I took a long walk..." she mumbled, slowly sitting down. "Forgot my phone... I'm sorry..."
"No I'm sorry I acted so stupid... I told Abby everything, immediately after you were gone!"
Holtzmann felt the tension in her body fading. So maybe, it had nothing to do with her after all.
"I would never be ashamed of you! Hell I am the luckiest person alive." Erin said, cupping her lovers face to give her a sweet and sensual kiss. "Please don't be mad."
"I am not mad... I'm sorry too you know... I should've been there for you... you were struggling and I left you alone with it. It's just..." Holtzmann answered. She grabbed Erin's hand, sensually stroking the backside of it with her thumb. "I'm so used to being pushed away...".
"I'll never push you away and neither are Abby and Patty. We are your family now... I talked to them, they're happy for us." she said, being unbelievably happy to finally see Holtzmann's typical full-dimple smile getting back on her beautiful face. How she loved that smile.
"So... why are you here anyways? Aren't you paying that hotel room anymore?" Holtzmann asked. Erin's flat had been partly damaged in their fight with Rowan, like many other apartments in town, and she stayed at the hotel nearby. Of course she'd been sleeping here the last two days, on Ursula and with Holtzmann, not that she wanted to complain...
"Yeah, well... I don't like it much there... plus, I think I promised you something." she smiled, her eyes wandering down to the blondes sweet lips. They fell into a kiss and back on Ursula. This time it was slow and sensual. Their kisses were deep and their hands carefully unclothed them piece by piece. Erin loved the sensation of Holtzmann's warm and naked skin on hers and she quickly came to the conclusion that she always wanted to feel her. She'd try to keep her as long as possible.
"I..." she started, suddenly noticing what she was about to say. The three words were on her tongue again and suddenly she felt her heart pounding in her ears.
"Yes?" Holtzmann whispered, quickly lifting her head from Erin's neck with a sudden look of insecurity in her eyes. It was the right moment, probably the best she could get and still... everything was to new to her...
"I want to keep you..." she whispered instead. She saw the look in her lover's eyes changing to something she could not quite identify, but her breathtaking smile was back and Erin kissed her dimples.
"So cute..." she mumbled, kissing her lover's cheeks, her nose, her eyes, her forehead. Her hands were quick to undo Holtzmann's pants as well as they eventually stood up to get rid of their last pieces of clothing. Standing in full naked glory they just looked at each other. Taking in the beauty they saw, trying to fully understand the luck they'd been given. Holtzmann took her lover's hand and slowly pulled her down with her, not on Ursula again, which was just to small for what they were trying to do, they landed on the floor, Erin above her beautiful lover. She pressed her thigh into her lover's center, feeling the wet warmth on her skin. Soft kisses along her neck made Holtzmann break out in goosebumps. She shivered slightly, the air was rather cold and her nipples rose, rubbing against Erin's when they started to grind into each other. The sensation of her lover's thigh against her center almost grew unbearable. Holtzmann already felt herself being close, but it was too soon. She stopped grinding for a moment to catch her breath and Erin noticed what was going on. She took her thigh away and slowly scooted south. Her lips found rosy nipples and she licked across that beautifully shaped breast, taking the other fully in her left hand. Her stomach just hovered closely above Holtzmann's center and she made sure to press a bit against it to get some moans. The blonde raised her hips in anticipation, remembering how great Erin's tongue had felt this morning. She wanted to take her time, to fully discover the possibilities and to break their known boundaries, but the need had been there all day and Erin felt so good against her. Her kisses lingered on her abdomen now, slowly going over her left hipbone. Erin's soft hands had found their way up the blonde's thighs, tentatively massaging the sensitive flesh right at the corner of her pubic zone. Shaking breaths came out of their mouths, full of nervousness and impatience. Erin's hands grew sweaty, her heart pounded in her chest. She wanted it, she wanted to taste her lover. In her memory it had been so erotically but now she felt a bit funny. It was a new and thrilling experience to fully run her tongue between her lover's folds and taste her sweet juices, thoroughly odd and intoxicating at the same time. And of course, there was Holtzmann's reaction to it, the slight shiver of her legs, the flexing of her belly muscles and those shaking breaths. She felt shaking hands closing and opening themselves in between searching for something to hold on. Erin continued circling her lover's clit tentatively, slowly first, but it was already swollen so much that Erin felt how sensitive Holtzmann already was. She set a steady pace and quickly felt the spasms starting, the belly before her eyes rose and fall as Holtzmann's hands crashed on the floor in need of finding something to hold on. Her back and hips rose, but Erin held her in place with one arm.
"God... Erin!" she breathed, being so close that her voice cracked a bit. Struggled moans came out of her mouth and Erin was surprised how loud they were. This was new, this was hot. Erin felt her lover completely tense up and that was when she felt it, a wavelike spasm against her mouth and a flood of wetness against her chin. Holtzmann moaned again, one high-pitched, struggled moan, head in her neck as her back arched up. And then she went limp, crashing down on the floor, hands coming up to cover her face. She was still shaking a bit when Erin scooted up to rest herself on her left elbow. Her leg lay over Holtzmann's and she still felt the after waves going through her lover's body. What a bliss. What a wonderful, wonderful feeling.
"Oh..." The blonde breathed out, putting her hands down on her stomach. "Oh boy...girl...goddess..."
"Now you're exaggerating..." Erin grinned, resting her upper body on her lover's side. "We should to that more often..."
"Oh yes... but... maybe not on the floor..." she chuckled, still out of breath, but now wrapping her arms around her girlfriend. "Maybe in a proper bed... in a proper flat?"
"Right... That would be nice..."
