Everything was going back into place and Clarke got her happiness back. She knew Lexa had a lot to do with it and she was really thankful to her. A smile on her face, the young sky girl felt a sudden need to walk into the woods. A week has passed and she asked her mother to give her more time before going back to Camp Jaha. Her request was taken seriously and Abby accepted to give her the time she needed – with the only exception that she would have to give news each week. This was a compromise Clarke was willing to do.

Clarke was walking near a creek, hands in her pockets. She was not that far from the grounder's village, so she could still hear noises and voices. She looked at the trees and inhale: the smells of the nature were unbelievable. She spent so much time on space, while there was life on Earth. She was happy to be there, but she couldn't kept thinking about her father: he was floated from the Ark. He never could set a foot on the ground, yet this was his biggest goal. Clarke was sad and realised she missed him so much: after all, her father was her confident.

She heard a noise and turned around quickly. She thought she was alone: her friends left in the morning, along with her mother, to Camp Jaha. She looked around and frowned. Nobody was there. Maybe that was just her?

When she turned to continue her walk, she almost screamed. Lexa was standing there, a little smirk on her face. Clarke had to repress doing her angry eyes, so she just looked up to the sky. "Really? You want to give me a heart attack, surprising me like that?" She sighed and started walking again, getting around the grounder girl.

"Sorry. I saw you sneak out of the village." She specified, walking along with the sky girl. "This is not safe to be alone out there."

"I have been alone for months, Lexa. I can handle myself very well." She added, giving her a serious look. She was right and she knew it.

"I wanted to make sure you were ok." Lexa admitted, looking at the trees.

"Or making sure I wasn't leaving?" Clarke softly asked. This wasn't a reproach, just a simple question.

"I… maybe." The Commander sighed. "I have been busy and I know your friends just left. I thought you would have considered going back to your village."

She grabbed Clarke's hand and stopped walking, forcing the blonde girl to do the same. She got closer to her, putting her forehead against Clarke's. She was used to get this close to the girl in her tent, because it was the place where they could have more intimacy. Here, in the woods, anyone could walk on them, but the Commander wasn't really afraid of that.

"You thought I'd leave you without telling you?" Clarke asked, trying to hide that she was a bit upset about it. She knew Lexa had trust issues, but she thought they wouldn't have this anymore.

"I'm sorry, I don't know what got through my head, I… I just can't get you out of my head." She leaned to kiss Clarke's lips tenderly and the blonde kissed back.

At the moment her lips touched hers, Clarke forgot what she was upset for and her hand reached for Lexa's neck. While the grounder's hands pulled the sky girl's body closer. Clarke felt how desperate the Commander was, craving for her touch. It was obvious they were absolutely in love with each other. The blonde girl pulled back, looking her lover in the eyes.

"I don't want to leave you, Lexa. I told you, you should not be afraid…" She tilted her head on the side, giving her a little smile.

"I know… but last time I loved someone that much, she got captured by the Ice nation. They tortured her for days, they cut her…" She stopped, swallowing hardly. "They sent me her… head."

Clarke knew it, it was obvious: the Commander was still not over the horrible act of the Ice nation and she could understand it. The only thing was, the sky girl was repeating the 'last time I loved someone that much' in her head and her heart was pumping into her chest.

"Lexa I…" She raised her hand and caressed the grounder's cheek. "You just said you love me." She smiled at her while Lexa was raising a brow.

"Oh, I…" She looked at Clarke's smile and said: "Does this make you uncomfortable?"

Her only response was another of Clarke's kiss, way more passionate than the last one. The Commander got surprised when she got pushed back against a tree. Her heart skipped a beat. "I'm not sure what this mean, Clarke." Yet, she knew exactly what it meant, she just wanted to hear it from the sky girl.

"I love you too, Lexa of the Tree people." She said, leaning to kiss her back. Lexa tried to switch position with Clarke, so she could be the one pushing her against the tree, but the blonde saw clear in her game and shook her head.

"No, you're not moving…" A smirk on her face, her hands moved to Lexa's belt, unbuckled it while looking Lexa right in the eyes. The Commander swallowed, eager to know what Clarke had in mind.

"I just decided you were mine today and nobody could change that." Her blue eyes got down on Lexa's body and the grounder saw her biting her lower lip. She brought her right hand to her lips and licked two fingers while Lexa was watching with attention. Her cheeks were burning.

Clarke's hand slipped through Lexa's pants, under her underwear. She found the Commander already aroused and her smile got bigger. "Oh." She said, touching her wet spot and starting to caress slowly. Lexa closed her eyes, breathing faster.

"Clarke." She moaned her name as the girl slipped a finger inside her. Nobody could make the Commander this way other than Clarke. She kissed the sky girl's jawline, then got to her neck. She sucked, kissed and bit her skin with tender. "Clarke, keep going…" She supplied the girl as she started rubbing her bundle of nerves. The blonde was proud of herself, making the great Commander, the one that reunited the twelve clans, leaning against a tree, moaning from the pleasure she was giving her.

"Clarke, keep going?" Clarke said, teasing her.

"Please." She answered, asking for more. Her voice had changed and the sky girl knew stopping would be torture, so she nodded and kept going harder. Lexa moaned harder and Clarke kissed her, obligating her to be quieter. Pleasure was distorting the grounder's face and she reached for Clarke's belt too, but Clarke denied Lexa to unbuckle it. There was no way she could escape the blonde's hands.

"Relax… I just want to show you what you make me really feel." She smiled and watched Lexa's closeted eyes, her mouth open.

"Oh my god." The girl whispered as two of Clarke's fingers entered inside her, while her thumb kept rubbing. She moaned and said the sky girl's name many times, knowing she was getting close to come undone. Clarke pushed her body against Lexa, knocking her against the tree. She felt her lover's body contract as she slipped another finger.

Her mouth opened and she came undone. Lexa took Clarke's arm, intimating her to stop. But she didn't and she made the Commander reach the seventh heaven. She moaned and open her eyes, looking at Clarke while she was slowly stopping her caresses. Lexa's whole body was shaking from her orgasm. Clarke was obviously happy that she made her come that way. She smiled at the grounder, who smiled back and close her eyes again. Clarke removed her wet hand from the pants and Lexa let herself slowly slip on the ground.

It took a while for the Commander to get to her normal face again. Her body stopped shaking but she was still not over that. "Clarke of the Sky people… You will not get away like this." She smiled at her. The blonde girl offered a hand and shook her head.

"You can always try… but not now. We should return to your people."

The grounder girl nodded as she got back on her feet, helped by Clarke. She kissed her on her lips and looked at her neck. She made a little smirk.

"Seems like I will have my revenge, after all."

There was a small hickey Lexa made when she was exploring Clarke's neck. The sky girl opened her eyes with surprise. She knew what she meant by the way she was looking at her skin.

"Oh no, you didn't! Lexa!"
