Just as Delphine looked at the source of the commotion, she donned a surprised smile. She beamed as several similar blasts followed while Cosima looked down from behind her with satisfaction. Without a word Delphine leaned back and rested her head on Cosima's chest.
"So you like it? It's not too much?" Cosima asked despite being fairly certain Delphine loved it.
"Oui Cherie, J'adore ça…I haven't seen des feux d'artifice…I'm not sure what it is in English…since I was a young girl. We saw them every year for Bastille Day. It is one of the fondest memories I had of growing up." Delphine recalled as she heard the ramparts howl over the sounds of the crashing ocean waves.
She wanted to absorb this moment, internalize it, so if she ever had another doubt that Cosima was the one for her she could dismiss it as foolishness.
Cosima sat down next to Delphine and leaned back on one hand. She let her legs stretch out before her and wrapped an arm around Delphine's shoulder to pull her closer. Instinctively Delphine rested her head on Cosima's shoulder and Cosima leaned her head so it rested against the top of Delphine's. Once they settled Cosima began her reply.
"Fireworks— Delphine, I have to ask something of you. None of this means anything unless you make me a promise…" Cosima spoke in the gentlest tone she could muster in order to avoid worrying Delphine.
Delphine felt a twinge of nerves and her heart began to race. She was as concerned as she was curious about what Cosima would ask for. Regardless of the question she knew her answer. After everything they'd been through there was only one thing that came to mind.
"Anything…" She sighed out in realization. She knew that there was nothing she could imagine that would drive her from Cosima now. The woman had proven herself both worthy and resilient in the face of the Delphine's many trials and she deserved the same dedication in return.
Cosima regarded the answer with relief and skepticism. She was weary of Delphine's apparent fear of falling for her.
"Alright well…Delphine, I need you to trust me. I mean completely. I need you to trust that I want you and you alone. I need you to trust that I would never try to hurt you or control you…and I need you to trust that this is real and that we have a real chance to be happy." Cosima asserted as she moved away to meet Delphine's gaze.
Delphine caressed Cosima's cheek in silent agreement before responding.
"…Bien. Je te crois. I trust you Mon Amor. I am yours…completely." Delphine felt calm as her fears melted away. She was finally certain of her feelings.
Cosima grinned her patented grin and leaned into Delphine's touch before turning to kiss the palm of her hand. Delphine giggled at the sudden movement and leaned forward to rest her forehead against Cosima's.
Cosima then pulled away and gave her a mischievous look.
"That's good because…I wanna be your vacuum cleaner—breathin' in your dust…"Cosima trailed off and began nodding her head.
Delphine looked at the scene unfolding with a puzzled smile.
"I mean…I wanna be Ford Cortina- I will never rust…"She continued as Delphine realized this was some sort of poem or song. She waited for Cosima to go on.
"If you like your coffee hot- let me be your coffee pot. You call the shots Babe, I just wanna be yours." Cosima finished with a red face and a bright smile.
Delphine was in awe of how adorable and sweet the person she had fallen for was and she couldn't believe how lucky she'd gotten. She began to pull Cosima back toward her before sliding her hand up into her hair and beaming.
"Cosima… You are…so silly and charming and I cannot believe you've chosen me. How did I get so lucky?" Delphine rambled in excitement and she looked at Cosima's blushing face.
"No luck Darlin', you're amazing. I just want to show you how amazing you are…as long as you'll let me."
At this point Delphine was overwhelmed with joy and couldn't resist leaning in and smothering Cosima with a reckless kiss. Before Cosima could kiss her back she was pinned to the ground.
Delphine was ravenous with affection, kissing and nibbling her way to Cosima's neck where her fully buttoned collar and bow tie created an obstacle. Delphine stopped to undo the tie while Cosima looked on helplessly with a smirk.
"Note to self…Sing…whenever, wherever." Cosima cut the tension with a joke as she was known to do but instead of suppressing Delphine's arousal it increased it.
Seconds later Delphine had half of Cosima's shirt unbuttoned while she straddled her.
"Baby, I'm freezing and we are in public. Perhaps we should—." Cosima began to protest the public display of affection before Delphine cut her off by taking her lip between her teeth. Cosima ignored the pain and decided to ignore the fact that they were outdoors. It was early enough for people to still be around but they were in a secluded area and the fireworks had distracted most of the other beach-goers.
"Cherie, I've waited to touch you for far too long…Je te desire." Delphine whispered as she pulled the suspenders off of Cosima's shoulders.
Just as things began to get progress, Delphine noticed a light being pointed in their general direction. She initially tried to ignore it but then it became apparent it was directed at them. Cosima's shirt was completely unbuttoned and Delphine was interrupted in the process of undoing her bra.
"Babe, Babe I think that's a cop. They are giving us a warning, we'd better go." Cosima said between kisses as Delphine was unrelenting.
"Cherie, I'm not afraid of them. They cannot stop me from taking you here, where I want you." Delphine asserted as she leaned down and kissed Cosima's collarbone.
"Seriously we could get a ticket or arrested. I've got to be back in Canada." Cosima whined despite enjoying everything Delphine was doing.
"Awe you are no fun tonight…I'll give you a pass because you make a fair point. Come…take me home." Delphine teased before helping Cosima dress and gathering their belongings.
"I must admit the suspenders and bow tie are doing something for me…" Delphine whispered as Cosima loaded her bags into the trunk. Cosima blushed at the comment and leaned back into Delphine's front. Surprised, Delphine wrapped her arms around her waist and nuzzled her chin into Cosima's shoulder.
"You are so playful tonight. I like it but what's gotten into you?" Cosima asked, truly curious as to why Delphine couldn't keep her hands off of her for even a second.
"Nothing…yet." She smirked and released her hold on Cosima before sauntering over to the passenger side of the car.
Cosima stood at the trunk in awe before closing it and getting into the car. She started the car in silence and pulled out of the parking spot.
They made it three lights before Delphine stated playing with Cosima's zipper with her left hand. Cosima was stiff, not wanting to let the woman know that she was getting to her.
"We're almost to my place, don't cause me to pass out at the wheel before we get there." Cosima finally plead as she swatted Delphine's hand away.
"Desole, no more touching…you. I will just have to occupy myself…" She trailed off as she placed her right hand under her shirt and bra. She looked over at Cosima before squeezing her left breast and moaning theatrically.
Cosima wanted laugh but at the moment the overt seduction was distracting her. She had been trying to stay neutral and not appear flustered but Delphine had the ability to bring out the nervousness she'd subdued since long before they'd met again.
"Delphine stop…I'm warning you. You don't know what I'm capable of when provoked." Cosima all but giggled at the end of her 'threat' and Delphine knew she was winning.
She was so confident that she was going to break Cosima that she unbuckled her seat belt and began to whisper innuendos into her ear…in French.
"Je veux que vous , vous tous. Je veux être à l'intérieur de vous. Je veux te goûter…"
Without a word, Cosima pulled into a parking lot that was nearly empty. She was only minutes from home but she wanted to teach Delphine a lesson. She could be just as tantalizing as she was.
Delphine looked puzzled but stayed quiet as Cosima put the car in park and killed the engine.
"Are we home already?" She asked sarcastically while looking around the parking lot.
"Oh no, I figured you didn't want to waste any more time." Cosima replied as she unfastened her seat belt and began unbuttoning her own shirt.
Delphine smiled at her and found her lip between her teeth. She knew what Cosima was trying to do and she wasn't going to give in so easily.
She watched Cosima unbutton her top lecherously before reaching over to assist her in removing it from her shoulders. After the shirt was thrown in the back seat, Delphine found her hands on Cosima's shoulders as she pulled her in for a kiss. She took the time to lick and nip at her lips eliciting a low groan from Cosima.
Encouraged, Delphine moved her hands to her dreads and held her in place while kissing her way down her neck to her sensitive pulse point. As she kissed her languorously, Cosima would let out a sigh of approval. She was clearly at the mercy of Delphine.
As she began to realize what was happening to her, Cosima moved her hands that were resting lightly by Delphine's waist and cup the back of her neck. Delphine was shocked by the cold hands and opened her eyes.
"Mon Dieu, your hands are freezing. Let me warm you up, tu pauvre chose."
She then proceeded to take Cosima's hand in hers and suck on her index and middle finger simultaneously. After seeing Cosima's mouth agape at what she was experiencing, Delphine unbuttoned her own pants and slid Cosima's hand into her underwear.
The moisture Cosima found there made her gasp in anticipation before she began to rub the sensitive area just around her clit. She avoided the bud, causing Delphine to writhe, seeking contact.
"Ahhh you want me to stop teasing?" She taunted, leaning over the armrest to gain better leverage. At this point Cosima was holding onto Delphine's seat with her right hand and touching her with the left but it was uncomfortable. She decided she had a better idea.
"Delphine take your pants off." She ordered, before reclining her seat all the way back.
Without a word Delphine sat back, now free of Cosima's hand, and took off her pants and underwear. She was exposed from the waist down and waiting for Cosima's next instruction.
Their power struggle was turning Delphine on immensely. At first she wanted to take Cosima and make her bend to her will, but Cosima always had a way to make her want to just go along for the ride.
Cosima looked at Delphine with a stoic expression before leaning back in her seat and beckoning her over with a look. Delphine leaned over the armrest to kiss her before she was wrapped in strong arms and guided onto Cosima's lap. It was a tight fit in the sedan but she wanted to be as close to the woman as possible and it made her no difference.
Cosima was obviously more comfortable in a role of dominance and positioned Delphine so that she was hovering over her right hand. Once they were settled , Delphine lowered herself onto the waiting hand and leaned down to kiss her.
"Baise-moi comme tu me aimes." She groaned, before reaching down and pressing Cosima's fingers into herself. They exhaled at the contact and Delphine began to ride Cosima's hand slowly, obviously considering Cosima's injury. Cosima offered some pressure and rolled her hips to meet Delphine's thrusts in a fluid rhythm.
As they moved together, Cosima curled her fingers in an effort to coax out mewls of pleasure from Delphine. In response to the added stimulation Delphine shuddered as her eyes shut tightly and tried not to scream.
"Baby you look so hot right now…touch yourself…please." She begged as Delphine nodded and slid her free hand down to play with her clit. Her other hand was pressed firmly around Cosima's shoulder in an effort to steady herself. The sight of Delphine getting herself off was enough to make Cosima add more power to her ministrations. The frantic pace of their movements was causing them both to pant due to exertion.
Delphine noticed Cosima's breathing and began to tease.
"Off of the field for a week and already out of shape hmm?" Her words came between sighs of arousal from Cosima.
"Keep it up Babe, I dare you. You don't know what I have planned for you later."
With that, Cosima picked up her pace and used her free hand to massage Delphine's breasts under her shirt. The addition of the hand drew Delphine closer to the edge as her moans became more frequent. She moved the hand that was on Cosima's shoulder to lightly rest around her neck before offering a light squeeze. She wanted to make sure Cosima was okay with this before adding anymore pressure. She got her answer when Cosima used her own hand to tighten Delphine's around the neck.
"God Delphine... Come for me…I know you're fighting it." Cosima whispered, out of breath.
With those words, Delphine began to lose herself in the pleasure she was experiencing and became more uncontrollable in her movements. Cosima was resting all of her weight on her right leg in order to avoid any incidents. She was absorbing the force from Delphine's thrusts and wrapped her hand around Delphine's waist at the thigh to steady her.
"Tu me rends dingue. Je ne peux pas me contrôler." Delphine managed to whine as she found her hand around Cosima's neck and began riding her hard. She cried out in ecstasy before she tightened around Cosima's fingers and slowed her movements to ride out her climax. When she relaxed her body, she rested her head on Cosima's shoulder in exhaustion.
Cosima sat in complete satisfaction with Delphine's condition and smiled until she heard a strange sound come from Delphine.
"Are you okay? Did I hurt you?" Thoroughly concerned, Cosima rubbed Delphine's back in an effort to soothe her.
"Non, I am sorry. I'm just feeling emotional…" Delphine replied, clearly trying to fight back tears.
"Delphine, please tell me. I want us to be honest with one another. No matter what's wrong we can discuss it." She tried to reassure her as she held her close and kissed her cheek tenderly.
"I'm just…I'm crazy about you Cosima. I-." She stopped herself before finishing. She went to return to her seat and looked for her pants.
"Baby, I'm crazy about you too. We are on the same page. No need to worry. The feeling is mutual."
Delphine seemed embarrassed by her emotional state but she couldn't help feeling this way when Cosima made her feel better than she ever thought she could feel.
"Okay. I'm sorry Cherie, can we go home?" Delphine tried to dismiss her tears as silly and waved off Cosima's concern.
"Of course Baby…" Cosima replied calmly and started the car.
…
The ride home was short and Delphine sat quietly as she played absentmindedly with Cosima's right hand.
After they arrived, Delphine offered to unpack the car so Cosima wouldn't have to hike up the stairs with her injury. Cosima reluctantly agreed and went to shower.
10 minutes into her shower Cosima heard a knock at the door.
"Cosima? May I join you?" Delphine called over the sound of the water.
Not particularly fond of showering with other people, Cosima hesitated. She then thought about what else they could do in the shower and relented.
"Sure, come on." She shouted back.
After entering, Delphine opened the shower door and entered looking mischievous.
She pressed herself into Cosima's front and leaned down to whisper in her ear.
"It's my turn now…I want to apologize."
"For what?" Cosima asked as she caressed Delphine's back.
"Everything…for leaving, for not letting you explain. I need to make it up to you and I plan to start now." Delphine replied, before she kissed Cosima hard and pushed her closer to the stream from the shower head.
They kissed and grabbed for one another desperately until Delphine pulled back and looked into Cosima's eyes. She took a step back and regarded Cosima with a lustful grin as she slowly lowered herself onto her knees. She looked up at a surprised Cosima and pulled the brunette closer.
Cosima wasn't sure whether to stop her or allow her to do what she obviously wanted to. Before she could decide, Delphine began to caress Cosima's strong thighs and leaned forward to kiss her waistline and hips.
"Est-ce ce que vous aimez?" Delphine asked rhetorically before guiding Cosima back into the shower wall and lifting her left leg to rest on her shoulder. Cosima looked at the image before her with amazement and tensed as Delphine's mouth began to kiss and tease around her heat.
Although inexperienced, Delphine was determined to please Cosima in this way. The position alone was indicative of her surrender to Cosima and she wanted to prove she was willing to do whatever it took to satisfy her.
Unsteady on one foot, Cosima clutched at the bar on the wall and leaned to turn the temperature up on the faucet. Just when she began to relax her other leg on Delphine's shoulder, she was surprised by a warm tongue caressing her folds and stopping to linger around her clit.
She gasped at the feeling as Delphine repeated the path several times, moaning every time Cosima's hips moved forward pushing herself into her mouth.
"Delphine…God." Cosima managed to mumble while Delphine sucked at her clit softly.
Enjoying the pace and the way Delphine was drawing out her arousal, Cosima found her free hand tangled in Delphine's hair.
Delphine meanwhile, was reveling in the taste and warmth that was enveloping her lips. This act was far more intimate than she could've ever imagined and she was happy to feel the arousal coat her chin before steam washed it away.
In her exploration, Delphine licked and sucked before plunging her tongue into Cosima eliciting a moan louder than she'd heard from the woman prior.
"Let go mon amor…" Delphine whispered before bringing her hand to Cosima's opening and inserting two fingers roughly.
Cosima jerked her hips forward and cried out. Her exhaustion was beginning to get to her before the added stimulation reinvigorated her desire. She moved in accord with Delphine's thrusting fingers and felt her tension start to build.
It wasn't long before she tightened around Delphine's fingers and threw her head back, narrowly missing the wall behind her.
As she came down, Delphine steadied her by holding the thigh on her shoulder and leaning her against the wall. Aching to stand after kneeling on the hard shower floor, Delphine looked up for the okay.
Cosima regained her wits and looked at Delphine lovingly, removing her thigh and standing straight. She leaned down to guide Delphine to her feet with a hand on the woman's jaw.
Delphine smiled and went to rinse her face in the water before Cosima grabbed her and kissed her.
"You're forgiven…" Cosima teased before turning off the water and wrapping Delphine in her towel.
After they dried, Cosima got into her bed naked and waited for Delphine to join her.
"Mon Ange, I have something to tell you. I've tried to keep this to myself because I thought it was too soon but I…" Delphine began as she dried her hair and looked over her shoulder at Cosima.
Cosima frowned in confusion before she sat at attention, curious as to where this confession would lead.
"Come here." She requested, as Delphine turned nervously and walked toward the bed.
Once she arrived she sat against the head board next to Cosima and looked shyly into her eyes.
"Whatever you need to tell me I'm ready…Lay it on me Baby." Cosima joked in order to ease the tension. Delphine giggled briefly before regaining her serious demeanor.
"It's just that I…I know we haven't known each other for very long and that we have had our issues but I can't help the fact the I…well Je t'aime Cosima." Delphine finally managed to get out before offering a deep sigh of relief that it was out.
Cosima smiled sweetly before leaning into Delphine's space and whispering, "I know…"
Delphine sat there not able to see Cosima's face to determine whether she was joking or not. She was relieved when she heard a breathy laugh and felt a peck on her cheek.
"… and I love you too. It was inevitable for me. As soon as you rolled your eyes at me when I showed up to our shoot late I knew I was toast." Cosima said before receiving a playful pinch on the arm.
"You know? This is a level of cockiness I have never experienced from you. Should I look forward to more of this?" Delphine asked not sure whether or not to take Cosima seriously.
"Oh that? Yeah I assume you've never seen The Empire Strikes Back then? I hoped you loved me. I mean I'd be lying if I said I didn't but I was just quoting Han Solo." Cosima said matter-of-factly.
"You will be quoting popular culture in every situation won't you? No moment is sacred?" Delphine asked in disbelief although she found it endearing.
"Well I'm kind of a geek off of the field Babe, I'm not so different from Urkel when it comes to these things." She admitted.
"Well no wonder you were so comfortable in that costume. You were just being yourself…" Delphine joked before offering a placating peck on the lips.
"Whatever Laura…that didn't stop you from attacking me on the beach. If I didn't know any better I'd say you have a bit of a fetish." She winked and scooted under the blankets.
"Maybe…but I can't help myself. Who can resist suspenders?"
Cosima laughed in response before pulling the blankets up to cover Delphine. She snuggled into the Blonde's side and peppered kisses on her cheek.
"Let's rest. I know you're exhausted. Just know I'm going to repay you for nearly making me fall to my death in the shower." Cosima warned with an eyebrow raise.
"Okay I'll be waiting. If your reaction was any indication I'm in store for something incredible." Delphine offered a cocky reply before turning off the light and settling back into her pillow.
