Jenny's back hit the floor with a loud crack and the air was knocked out of her body with such ferocity that the girl almost felt as though she was about to black out. As she lay there, staring at the ceiling and attempting to catch her breath there was a moment when she almost regretted insisting that Vastra taught her to fight. The Silurian certainly wasn't supposed to be a teacher and quite often she forgot that Jenny was neither as strong as her nor as quick. The girl had spent most of the past few hours either flying through the air or landing in painful positions on the hard floor and she was almost certain that every inch of her would be black and blue with bruises by the time the training session was over.
"For the last time Jenny, you have to be aware of your surroundings. This wouldn't keep happening if you were paying attention to my every move. You allow yourself to be distracted too easily." It was only their first lesson and already Vastra was getting short tempered with her. Honestly, Jenny wasn't sure if it was because of her continued failures to block her mistress or the fact that Vastra was only just strong enough to be fighting again and she had tired herself out too quickly. Either way she was not overly happy about this side of the woman.
"Yeah, well maybe it'd be a little easier for me to focus if you'd broken me in a bit more gently," Jenny groaned as she pulled herself up into a sitting position and looked over at Vastra "you pretty much just told me to be observant an' then threw me over your shoulder!" She arranged her pretty features into a pout, hoping Vastra would take pity on her and slow down a little but the Silurian just rolled her eyes and held out her hand to help the girl up.
"No one else will go easy on you my love, I'm throwing you in at the deep end for your own good... figuratively speaking of course."
Jenny barely had time to think before Vastra had grabbed hold of her arm again and twisted it around behind her back so that it was pushed up high between the girl's shoulder blades. The maid could have sworn she had felt her shoulder pop out of its joint but she tried to ignore it, determined to get out of this one before Vastra managed to throw her down to the floor yet again. She thought hard, trying to come up with the best way to manoeuvre herself out of the hold but it was no use, Vastra had neglected to actually teach her any counteractive movements probably having convinced herself that if a Silurian could learn through instinct so could a human. So, instead of fighting, Jenny decided to use the only advantage that she had over the woman. The girl straightened up, standing with her back almost pressed into Vastra despite the arm still held between them by the woman's strong arms. She lifted her free arm and curled it backwards around Vastra's neck, pulling the woman's head down over her shoulder and leaning back to kiss her deeply. Almost instantly the Silurian released her grip on Jenny's arm in shock and the girl took the opportunity to bite down on Vastra's lip and pushed her away gently. When Vastra looked back at her Jenny was grinning and looking immensely proud of herself.
"Well would you look at that," she giggled "that time I got out of it without even 'avin' to fight you." Jenny still seemed very pleased with herself but Vastra was attempting to maintain a stern countenance. She fought back the blush that wanted to creep into her cheeks, folding her arms across her chest and raising a scaled eyebrow.
"You know that move won't work on anyone else" she commented simply. "Besides, it would only delay me. Jenny you are the one who wanted to do this, are you going to try fighting back or not?"
"Maybe if you'd teach me 'ow to then I could!" Jenny snapped, a scowl wrinkling her brow and her mouth set in annoyance. She loved Vastra, but sometimes the woman really needed to think about what she was saying before she opened her mouth. Some of the things she said could be so hurtful. Realising she was in the wrong Vastra sighed and gathered the girl into her arms. Jenny didn't respond but the Silurian planted a kiss on her forehead and then trailed them all the way down to the girl's nose. She rested her head against Jenny's once they were eye to eye and attempted to look as innocent as possible.
"Don't be upset with me my dear," she pleaded, looking directly into the girl's eyes "I'm sorry, I don't mean to be so uncaring. You're right, I haven't shown you what to do. Sometimes I forget... you are so much like family to me that it slips my mind that you are not of the same race and you do not know the things that I know." Jenny tried to hide it but a small smile graced her lips and Vastra grinned triumphantly, she seemed to be getting better at talking the girl around with every time she said something that she shouldn't.
"Come on then," the girl whispered, resisting the urge to kiss the woman again (close proximity always made it harder for her to resist those cool, delicious lips of Vastra's) "teach me 'ow to fight like a Silurian." Jenny allowed her mistress to spin her around so that her back was once more against the Silurian's front. Gently Vastra took hold of the girl's hips so that she could guide them (making Jenny blush slightly) and she rested her head on her shoulder.
"Okay, firstly you need to think about your balance. You're not centring yourself." She pulled Jenny's hips back towards her and moved one hand to press against the maid's stomach to straighten her back. "See, that's much better. Now, I know I've already said it but concentration is vital, you must be aware of what is going on around you at all times. For example, if I were to attack you from behind you would have to be prepared with a counter movement. Think about the night we first met..." Vastra wrapped her arm around Jenny's throat in a similar way to the thug that had held her captive that night, although admittedly with a far softer touch. "When the attacker released his hold on your hair he made a tactical error, you saw that and instinctively reacted..." The Silurian used her free hand to recreated Jenny's movements, tilting the girl's head back to mimic how she had broken the man's nose and then guiding her elbow back until it rested just under her own ribs. "The combined shock of the facial injury and the blow so close to his heart forced your attacker to release you. That is how you have to think. You must focus on overpowering your opponent, not just on your own release." Jenny nodded, she was focusing as hard as she could, attempting to take mental notes as Vastra spoke but it was a lot to take in all at once.
"Okay," Jenny murmured "I think I understand." She didn't seem particularly enthusiastic but Vastra assumed that the maid was simply deep in thought.
"Shall we try a different attack then, so that you may have the chance to consider your reactions?" The maid nodded. She made sure she had her wits about her this time, focusing on any slight sounds or movements that she could. Vastra circled her slowly, a look of hunger in her eyes that made Jenny a little uncomfortable. She tried to ignore it, focusing her mind. Suddenly, Vastra lunged towards her, taking a firm grip on her right arm. She was about to twist her body to flip the girl over her head and onto the floor when all of a sudden Jenny pulled her arm across her body with such force that her mistress was thrown to the floor at her feet and she had to release the girl's arm to catch herself before her face connected with the hard wood of the floor. As Vastra fell a sharp squeal broke free from Jenny and she knelt down beside her darling lizard, leaning over her to check her over for any sort of injury.
"I am so sorry. Are you okay? I didn't 'urt you did I? Oh, please tell me I 'aven't opened up the stab wound again. Maybe doin' all this so soon after you've recovered wasn't such a good idea ma'am." The string of words erupted from Jenny all at once without her taking a single breath and Vastra laughed as she rolled over onto her back and looked up at her sweet little human.
"I am fine dear, stop fussing. Really, you worry yourself far too much." She sat up again and Jenny was forced to move back and give her mistress some space.
"I'm allowed to worry," she muttered, a little upset that Vastra would laugh at her concern for her "just a few days ago you could still barely move from your bed, I don't want to 'urt you again when you've only just got better."
"Jenny I am a Silurian warrior, I think it will take a little more than a small fall to hurt me" Vastra smiled softly at the girl. It was so sweet when she got all worried and protective. The Silurian did fear that Jenny may have been right though, perhaps she had thrown herself back into training a little too soon. All of the excitement of fighting again was beginning to wear away at her limited supply of energy and she wasn't sure how much longer she could cope with the physical demands before she would need to take a nap. "Perhaps this would be a good time to finish for the day," she suggested "you've already managed to overpower me so you have certainly achieved something already." Jenny gave Vastra a suspicious look. She knew that her mistress may have had no more reason than to allow her a rest but something told her that there was more to it than that.
"Are you sure you're not 'urt love?"
"No my darling, just a little weary" Jenny nodded. Vastra did look worn out. The maid made a mental note to not allow her mistress to let training sessions go on for so long the next day, she didn't want the Silurian over working herself when she had only recently been so ill. Helping Vastra up she brushed off the catsuit that her mistress had had made for her to train in.
"I think I'll go an' change. As much as I like 'ow you got a corset put on this thing I'm not sure I'm comfortable enough in somethin' so tight fittin' just yet." The Silurian smirked and Jenny rolled her eyes. She knew full well that Vastra had designed the outfit herself and that she had made it so revealing for her own personal amusement but she certainly wasn't going to indulge her lizard woman's fetishes by wearing it for the rest of the night... at least, not the part when they were still down in the main house.
~.~.~.~.~.~
Jenny rolled her shoulder as the pair sat curled by the fire later that evening, wincing at the sharp pain that shot through it and trying not to show Vastra just how much it hurt. She knew the Silurian hadn't meant to hurt her but she had been so rough when pulling her arm behind her back earlier that the girl's shoulder still hadn't managed to realign itself and it had been bothering her all evening.
"Is everything okay my darling?" Vastra hissed sleepily. She had been dozing with Jenny cuddled against her shoulder but the girl's restless fidgeting was making it hard for her to stay in that blissful, half-sleeping state.
"Fine," Jenny replied, "just a little stiff from earlier, that's all." Vastra rubbed her eyes with the hand that was not wrapped around Jenny's waist and blinked a few times to wake herself up properly. She watched as the girl continued to roll her shoulder back and forth and it occurred to her that it was the same arm she had locked behind her back during their sparring.
"Did I hurt you?" All of a sudden Vastra seemed worried and she shifted uncomfortably at the thought that she could have really harmed her little human girl.
"No, no... I'm fine." She had chosen a bad time to try and protest as the second the words had passed her lips a pain as though she had been stabbed shot through her shoulder and Jenny flinched visibly, biting her lip to stop herself from crying out. Vastra sighed exasperated and turned the girl so that she could feel for any serious damage in her shoulder.
"Why did you not mention it before you silly little human?" she unbuttoned the top of Jenny's dress and slid it off of her shoulder, gently running her fingers across the girl's shoulder blade, pressing hard enough to feel a break but not so hard that it would cause any more damage. It wasn't until she reached the joint between Jenny's shoulder blade and her upper arm that the girl flinched again and Vastra grimaced slightly, realising what had happened. "I must have pulled it right out of its socket," she muttered, more to herself than to Jenny "I think it may have slid itself back into place, but I'm not surprised it's bothering you. It will need time to settle back into position, that's why it's uncomfortable. You should have told me Jenny, I could have really damaged you."
"But you didn't love, I'm okay." Vastra sighed and shook her head. She knew Jenny didn't want her worrying and treating her as though she were helpless but the girl was so fragile and easily damaged that the Silurian couldn't help but be afraid that she would break her by being so rough. She had damaged her, despite Jenny's claims in opposition. Seeing no benefit in arguing with the girl over the matter Vastra resigned herself to disagreeing with Jenny in the privacy of her own mind. She leaned down and kissed the warm flesh of the girl's shoulder, just to the side of the joint so as not to hurt her.
"I'm sorry for hurting you my dear" she whispered and kissed along her shoulder again and again, sliding between the base of Jenny's neck and the point where she had first kissed her. Jenny felt her mind begin to fog slightly at the feeling of her love's cool lips on her skin and she sighed contentedly. She had missed Vastra's kisses while the woman had been ill but the absence of the soft, cool feeling each kiss left behind had only made Jenny more eager to enjoy the feeling as Vastra kissed her skin in that moment. Jenny shifted her weight as the need for more than just those little kisses overwhelmed her and she swung her leg over Vastra so that she was straddling the other woman's lap, looking down at her with dark, loving eyes.
"I think I've missed our evenings together the most while you were ill" she whispered, softly running her fingers along the crests at the sides of Vastra's head. Her love smiled up at her lazily, her eyes hooded with both exhaustion and a hint of lust. It had been so long since she had made love to her beautiful girl and every brush of those delicate little fingers across her crests made the Silurian want to pounce on the dainty little creature and ravish every inch of her perfect little body. Something told her though that Jenny had other ideas. It didn't happen very often but whenever Jenny wanted to be in control she had a tendency to sit on her mistress in an attempt to pin her down. Of course, if Vastra had really wanted to she could easily have lifted the girl's petite little figure off of herself but she knew how rare it was for Jenny to get a chance at dominance and so when the girl wanted her turn Vastra would quietly sit back and allow her to have her way.
Jenny leaned down to Vastra and captured her lips in her own, pressing herself into the woman as their tongues wrestled out of sight and the Silurian's hands wondered up the girl's thighs to her hips. As they kissed the brunette remembered the first time she had convinced her love to allow her to take control and make love to her. Vastra had confessed at the time that she had never been overly fond of taking the submissive role, preferring to have her partners beneath her and under her complete control as she pulled them over the edge time and time again. In her previous relationships she said she had never felt entirely fulfilled when she was the one being controlled, but she also admitted that she had never felt the way she did about Jenny before. The girl had been nervous to begin with, unsure of how to make love to a woman of her own species let alone a Silurian woman, but Vastra was very patient with her guiding her hands and mouth to all of the right places until the Silurian could barely think straight through the haze of her pleasure-filled mind. It comforted Jenny to know that Vastra was not opposed to her taking control as she had been with her previous partners, she adored making her precious lizard purr and hiss as she knew only she could.
Through the searing kiss Vastra could feel Jenny's hands wondering to the back of her neck and beginning to unbutton her dress, her fingers ever so gently brushing against the scales of the woman's back as she did so. Each moment of contact felt like a gentle shock of electricity running through the Silurian's body and she mindlessly leaned forwards to allow the girl better access, forcing her body to press closer against Jenny's in the process. It had been so long since the two had been able to be together in this way and each touch and each kiss had become more desperate than the last as a result. As Jenny reached the end of the buttons on Vastra's dress she finally parted her lips from the other woman's, moving her attention to her jaw line and neck where she kissed and gently nipped at the scales and ran her tongue along the patterns they formed. Vastra was beginning to purr softly in the back of her throat, her eyes dazed and half closed as she clung onto the human girl in her lap. How did Jenny make her feel this way when so many women before her had failed? When so many Silurian women had failed. If any of Vastra's people were to see her like this they would be disgusted by how far she had lowered herself to allow herself to fall in love with an ape, but to Vastra Jenny was like no other ape she had ever met. She was worthy of being called a human. So intelligent. So beautiful. Such a wonderful, kind hearted, loving girl.
"What are you thinking about?" Jenny whispered, pulling back from her mistress for a moment to look deeply into her eyes.
"You, my love." A small smile graced the girl's pretty features and she slowly slid Vastra's dress down her arms and off of her so that it dropped to the woman's hips. Sometimes it made Jenny so sad to see Vastra's body when her dress was peeled away and only those beautiful scales were on show. It was obvious that she was a warrior, the scars drawn over her scales were proof of that. To think how often Vastra was hurt to receive those scars made Jenny's heart drop to her stomach, and yet each one was so beautiful and so much a part of who the woman was that she couldn't stop herself from loving each and every one of them with all of her heart.
Jenny lifted her hand from Vastra's shoulder where it had been resting and softly traced a pale green scar along the Silurian's collar bone with the tips of her fingers. The woman's eyes snapped shut at the feeling of it and she felt a tingling in the pit of her stomach. This was why she loved Jenny. This was why she liked the girl to touch her as she had never liked to be touched in the past. It was so gentle and pure. Jenny wasn't forceful like the others, never in such a hurry. She took her time and admired every part of Vastra's body. She observed and adored every scale and every scar with such unending love that Vastra had never experienced with anyone else. Jenny leaned down and kissed the scar she had just traced with her fingers. She liked to kiss every scar on the Silurian's body before she made love to her. She liked to let her love know how much she admired her bravery and strength but also her ability to be soft and loving at the same time. The pattern repeated as the girl travelled down the other woman's body, she would first trace the shape of each scar before kissing it and moving further down and she didn't stop until she reached the very fresh cut on her love's side which was only just beginning to heal over. That one was the hardest to look at. She had never seen how hurt Vastra had been by the other wounds, but the one on her side had caused both women so much pain that Jenny had to force herself not to tear up again at the sight of it. She felt one of Vastra's hands cupping her cheek and she knew that her mistress understood. She nuzzled against the cool scales of the Silurian's palm before kissing just to the side of the healing wound. No matter how much pain it caused her it was still proof of her darling Vastra's bravery just like the others and she couldn't leave it unacknowledged.
As Jenny looked up at the woman above her she realised that at some point she had slid onto the floor between the Silurian's legs and she wondered when exactly it had happened. Vastra was leaning back in her seat, looking down at her with those stunning cerulean eyes and she couldn't help but feel a burst of warmth and love deep in her heart. She had honestly never felt a love so strong in her entire life and it still shocked her every time she looked deep into Vastra's eyes how her heart would pound and her head would fill with the memories she had of the woman. She knelt up and kissed the Silurian's stomach as her hands wondered under her skirts and her fingers followed the pattern of scales up Vastra's thighs, higher and higher. When she reached the apex of her legs her fingers brushed against the softest most delicate scales on Vastra's body and the Silurian instantly arched her back, a sharp hiss filling the air around them. It still took Jenny a short while to adapt to the difference in her love's sex to her own whenever they made love, it was so strange to her how a species that looked so similar to her own in form could still have so many differences. There was no opening or folds of skin between the Silurian's legs, nothing even remotely similar in fact. In its place was a mound of scales that were so sensitive when touched that Vastra refused even to wear underwear (a thought which often caused Jenny to blush every time it crossed her mind which was sometimes at the most inappropriate of times much to the girl's dismay). Jenny had been so confused the first time she had ventured between Vastra's legs that the Silurian had giggled at the look on her face for a full five minutes before she had been able to show her what she was supposed to do. Obviously Jenny had been embarrassed but Vastra had just kissed her and assured her that she understood her confusion.
The girl's fingers followed the movements they had been taught on that first time, circling and swirling, following the intricate pattern of scales as closely as possible over and over again. The feeling was dizzying for Vastra and she was alternating between purring and hissing as her back arched off of the sofa. Jenny couldn't suppress a smile at the sounds that echoed from the back of the Silurian's throat. She continued her ministrations and watched as Vastra's mouth dropped open slightly and her tongue flicked out tasting the air. She knew she was sensing for her. Vastra always said that Jenny's taste was so distinct that she could sense her from miles away, but when they made love she did it to feel even closer to her. Sometimes Jenny wished she could sense, she thought it must be like an entirely different level of intimacy for Vastra from the way she so furiously tasted the air at times like those. She knelt up again, never stopping the swirling movements with her fingers, and allowed Vastra to curl her tongue around her neck, down the back of her still opened dress and then slide back up to caress her cheeks and face. The purring noise the Silurian had been making seemed to have died down but it had transformed into a constant hissing that kept speeding up as the minutes passed by. Jenny knew it was a sign that her love was getting close. Before too long the hissing would stop to be replaced by the adorable clicking noise Vastra made when she came and Jenny could feel her heart racing in anticipation.
As she watched Vastra whose tongue had just released its grip around the back of her throat Jenny considered trying something she had never done before. She had wondered about it for a long time but had always been too nervous or unsure to try it. Feeling daring she withdrew from her mistress' wondering tongue and carefully slid her head under her skirts, trying not to make it obvious what she was considering doing in the hope that she could surprise Vastra. As she removed her hand from the sensitive scales between the woman's legs she heard a soft growl of protest but within seconds she had put her tongue and lips in their place and in the shock of it Vastra began to click uncontrollably, her eyes rolling back and her hands balled into fists holding her skirts tightly. Jenny's tongue worked furiously to match the patterns her fingers had been making only minutes before and she had to hold Vastra's hips in place to steady her for a few minutes as she convulsed lightly and clicked. It wasn't until Vastra's clicking had slowed to a soft purr again that Jenny finally removed herself from between the Lizard woman's legs once more and lifted herself back onto the sofa beside her, curling into her side with her head on her shoulder and her fingers once more tracing the scars that littered her torso.
For a short while they sat in silence, curled up together like a pair of kittens but when Vastra finally opened her eyes (still a little dazed and lost in the moments that had just passed) she whispered something to Jenny in a language the girl didn't understand. The lilting tone of it and the elongation of sounds that resulted in a slight hiss led her to assume it was the Silurian's natural tongue and she looked up at the woman to find her watching her closely.
"What does that mean?" she asked softly, planting light kisses along Vastra's shoulder as she spoke.
"It is a word my people use when speaking to or about someone who has stolen their heart and soul entirely." Vastra kept her gaze locked on the girl, soft pools of blue melting into Jenny's darker eyes. "I never thought I would use it myself but you truly have found your way under my skin my dear. You've loved me in a way I never believed to be possible and I want you to know that I am yours and yours alone. I always will be." She pressed a kiss to the top of Jenny's head and buried her face deep in her hair, relishing in the feel of it brushing against her cheeks and covering her in Jenny's scent. She was content and as she tasted the air once more she could tell that Jenny felt the same.
