"Red…" Harley sat crossed legged on the bed. "Ivy what are you doing?"
Ivy stood in front of the full-length mirror pouting. She touched the tiny pink scar on her stomach.
"I got a little scar, I can't believe it." Ivy sighed then walked back to the bed.
Harley reached out and pulled the redhead onto the bed pulling her into her lap, their fingers laced at their sides.
"You still look hot, if that makes you feel any better." Harley leaned in kissing Ivy's nose.
"Well thanks, you are pretty scrumptious there yourself darling." The redhead chuckled then wrapped her arms around Harleys neck.
The blonde placed her hands against Ivy's hips then gave a little smile, it had been almost a month since the whole fiasco with the clowns lacky came and carved Ivy up. Harley was still being off about the whole thing, the two hadn't really been intimate and the blonde had just been removed mentally and physically.
About two weeks after the whole debacle, the redhead had pretty much healed, she was just a little sore with a few stitches left. Ivy tried to initiate sex, the two were cuddling on the couch watching the Gotham news channel. She was on top of the blonde, she began to slide her hand down along her partners stomach reaching the top of her sweatpants dragging her lips along her collar bone. Harley stopped the redhead's hand and shifted slightly stopping her attempt. "You are still healing Red, you're going to pull your stitches. You're still fragile"
And that was just one of the times, she had tried to initiate something a few times and every time Harley shut her down with some excuse that she was "fragile." It was beginning to really worry the redhead, because she was just absent. Ivy had tried everything to get her to snap out it, but there was a wall there. It hadn't taken very long for Ivy to heal up, a week at most really and Harley was more than helpful during that time.
Ivy had been trying to find some way to get the blonde's mind off what had happened a few rooms over. The redhead held their laced fingers in her lap when it hit her.
"Let's go for a little trip!" Ivy blurted out.
Harley blinked tilting her head to the side taken aback. "A trip? What are you talking about."
"Yes, yes! We've been cooped up in this cabin for weeks, we need to do something fun!" Ivy bounced on the blonde's lap then stood and started grabbing bags and clothes.
Harley crossed her arms over her chest, "First of all where would we go, and second you still need to take it easy. You aren't totally a hundred percent yet."
The redhead spun on her heels and walked over to the bed leaning over the bed. "I'm all healed up Harls, you made sure of that and I have a special place in mind!"
Harley raised her eyebrows slowly "Okay, I'll bite. Where are we going?"
She stood from the bed and made her way to closet grabbing a few of her things and packing them into the bags Ivy had pulled out.
"Brooklynn." Ivy smiled bright.
The blonde turned to her and her eyes instantly lit up, a smile cracked her lips and she bounced on her heels. "You want to go to Brooklynn?"
Ivy nodded a smile spreading against her lips, Harley crossed the room and jumped into the redhead's arms cupping her face and crushing her lips against her partner's. She caught the blonde spinning her around then set her down, their lips held for a long moment before they pulled away.
They scurried around the room packing the essentials, Harley called big Tony letting him know that they would be coming by and visiting. Once they had everything Ivy locked up the cabin while Harley strapped everything up to the redhead's bike. Since Ivy was only about an hour outside of Gotham getting to Brooklynn would only take about two hours. They way Ivy drove, it would probably be a whole lot less.
Once they hit the city the Harley's mood lightened even more, the huge skyscrapers that blocked out the sun, the slight smog that polluted the air, the crazy amount of traffic, all of it made her giddy. Ivy pulled up to Harley's old place, the building was just as run down as the day she had moved in many years ago. Big Tony, Madam Macabre, Queenie, and Eggy were all out front. Eggy even had a sign that read Welcome back Harley!
The blonde practically leaped off the back of the bike and ran to her old friends giving all of them the biggest hug. They all asked how she was doing and how life had been going. She was all smiles as she caught up with her buddies. Ivy parked her bike off to the side and unloaded the bags, she walked over to Harley and kissed her cheek.
"Hey everyone!" Ivy smiled.
"It's so good to see you Miss Ivy, truly." Big Tony smiled and gave her a hug.
They all got the chance to catch up in Madam Macrbre's museum, Harley caught everyone up on what she had been up to recently and that her and Ivy had finally gotten together. The gang all cheered and clapped when she told them, the redhead's cheeks flushed at all the attention but chuckled as she found Ivy's hand and laced their fingers.
"It's about time you two got together. You were meant to be, seriously." Big Tony smiled and patted the blonde's knee.
"Thank you Big T, that's really very sweet of you." Harley smiled and kissed his cheek.
After catching up with everyone Harley and Ivy made their way up to the level that the blonde held all her animals. They went in and made sure that her babies were being taken care of properly. After she was satisfied and they both had their fair share of cuddles from the numerous dogs and cats, they made their way up to Harley's old place. She opened the door and ran to her old bed jumping on it.
"Ahh my old place!" Harley rolled onto her stomach resting her chin in her hands.
"It's so nice to see you so happy. I haven't seen you like this in a while." Ivy bit down on her lip sadness flashing across her eyes.
The blonde stood and crossed the room taking the redhead's hands "Thank you for bringing me here, it's so nice to see everyone and being in my home town. It's like a breath of fresh air."
Ivy smiled and kissed the blonde's fingers "I just wanted for us to get away from everything for a little bit."
Harley pulled her hands to Ivy's cheeks and brought her lips to her own, the redhead leaned into her wrapping her arms around the blonde's waist. Harley started walking backwards toward the bed pulling Ivy with her, the two never breaking their kiss. The blonde fell back against the bed pulling the redhead on top of her, Ivy slipped her hands under her shirt and brushed her finger tips against Harley's breasts.
Before anything could go any further there was a knock at the door. Ivy let out an exasperated sigh rolling off Harley laying back against the bed. The blonde chuckled and crawled off the bed adjusting her shirt then walked to the door opening it wide.
"Hey there sweetie." Mason stood in the doorway with flowers and a sweet smile.
"Mason! Oh my god!" Harley squealed and wrapped her arms around the man's big frame.
"My mom said you were in town, and I just had to come and say hello." He flashed a dashing smile.
Mason and Harley had a quick thing way back when Harley was living in Brooklynn, they had gone on one date, before he was picked up by the police for escaping prison. Harley also helped him break out of Arkham after he was transferred there. Which by the way is also when Harley got to beat the absolute shit out of the Joker, and that was awesome. Their relationship didn't have much time to take off because right after they blonde broke him out he had to go right into witness protection. Thanks to the Bat, Mason was able to live off the radar for a while and stay safe.
Ivy sat straight up when she heard Mason's voice, she stood and hung in the background as the two caught up.
"Wow! Its so good to see you! I'm so glad you finally got to come home" Harley smiled brightly.
"Yeah, thanks to you I have my freedom." He reached out and touched her cheek tucking some hair behind her ear.
"Well hey, I wasn't going to leave you in there." Harley blushed gently and shook her head.
Ivy watched their interaction and felt uneasy, Mason was being a little too touchy and they had history. Ivy was always going to feel threatened by anyone in Harley's past, there was just too many times that she had run off. Ivy shook her head slightly as if to try and shake the thoughts that were stirring there.
"I was… I was um actually wondering if you wanted to grab some dinner later" Mason smiled a gentle mans smile.
"Ivy and I would love to come to dinner with you! It would be great to catch up some more." Harley gushed.
"I was actually hoping you and I could go… Just the two of us." Mason explained.
Harley bit down against her lip then turn around to face Ivy. "Is… is that alright?"
Ivy raised her eyebrows in surprise, she felt her heart drop in her chest. Her face smoothed over and waved her hand. "Yeah sure…whatever."
The blonde frowned slightly biting down against her a little harder, she turned to Mason and the smile returned. "Yeah, okay! That would be awesome."
They said their goodbyes and Harley turned back to Ivy, who had made her way back onto the bed with some of her research. The blonde let out a little huff then walked over to the bed crawling over to the redhead sliding into her lap.
"Red…" She slid her finger under Ivy's chin lifting it gently.
The redhead pulled her chin away and avoided her gaze. "I hope you enjoy dinner with Mason."
Harley sighed then took Ivy's face in her hands making her look at her. "We are just friends, nothing more. We're going to go to dinner, catch up and then I'm going to come back here to you and I'm going to make sweet, hot love to you."
The redhead let out a small breath placing her hands against the blonde's hips. "You just have…History with him."
Harley leaned in and kissed Ivy hard and long, she pulled back inches from her face both breathless. "I have more history with you, and I love you."
Harley had showered and pulled out a tight fitting red strapless dress, she pulled her hair into her classic pigtails and checked herself out in the mirror.
"What are you going to do while I'm gone?" Harley asked as she turned around.
"I was going to go to the beach and do some research, watch the sunset." Ivy said as she packed up a bag.
"I'll meet you at the beach, we can have a little late-night swim" Harley wiggled her eyebrows.
Ivy giggled rolling her eyes then leaned over and kissed her cheek. "Sounds good to me."
The two walked down to the front of the building where Mason was waiting for Harley, he had a bouquet of flowers. He was dressed in a fine Italian suit and matching shoes, Ivy crossed her arms and gave him a once over. He offered his arm out to Harley and she kissed the redhead's cheek before taking it and walking off with him.
Ivy was just feeling uneasy about the whole thing, she didn't like the way he looked at Harley and she certainly didn't like that they once had feelings for each other that they couldn't really act on at the time. Just unresolved stuff there and it made her nervous. She stalked off with her research towards the beach. The beach wasn't far from the apartment, Ivy set up a blanket and pulled out some of her research going through it.
Harley and Mason had gone to a quaint little restaurant just inside the city, they had a great time together. They laughed and enjoyed each other's company into the evening. Once they were finished Mason walked her out of the restaurant.
"Can I walk you home?" Mason smiled sweetly.
"I'm actually meeting Ivy at the beach, if you'd like to escort me there." Harley smiled back.
"Absolutely, Miss Quinn." He offered his arm to her.
They made their way through the city and towards the beach, they had chit-chatted a bit while they walked but they had gone quiet once they reached the board walk. Harley looked out and noticed Ivy sitting by the shoreline reading away, she called out to her and gave her a little wave. Ivy turned and stood smiling giving her a little wave back.
Mason looked down towards Harley, there was this nervous aura about him. "Well this was really nice."
"Yeah! It was great catching up Mason, it was so great to see you. I'm so happy you are doing well." Harley admitted.
The blonde leaned up on her toes going in to kiss his cheek, Mason reached out and took her face in his hands and pulled her lips to his. Ivy looked on at the two, fury filled through her, the vines that wrapped around her body began to shake and creep up her arms and legs as her anger spiked. Harley blinked in hesitation then closed her eyes leaning into the kiss for a moment. She placed her hands against his chest and pushed him back breaking the kiss. She shook her head touching her lips then took a step back.
"I'm with Ivy now… You can't just do that." Harley let out a breath.
"I'm… I'm sorry I thought, I thought you guys were just really close." Mason rubbed the back of his head gently.
Harley turns around to see Ivy watching them both, the redhead turned on her heel and walked back to her spot on the beach plopping back down on her blanket. She pulled her research back into her lap, tears streamed down her cheeks splashing on the papers. Harley bit down against her lip shaking her head.
"I… I gotta go… thank you for dinner Mason." Harley waved to him then turned and made her way towards the redhead.
Harley took a deep breath then walked up to where Ivy was sitting, she sat down next to her and placed her hand on the redhead's knee.
"Red… Please don't be mad." Harley looked over and noticed the tear stains on the paper.
"Mad… I'm not mad, why would I be mad. It didn't mean anything right." Ivy looked up with red rimmed eyes.
"No… No of course not." Harley sighed softly then reached over and took Ivy's cheek in her hand.
The redhead looked away "This is like Holly all over again." She stood and walked to the water.
Harley stood and followed her, she stood behind the redhead and wrapped her arms around her slowly. She rested her chin against the redhead's shoulder holding onto her tight, Ivy tried to pull away, but Harley held on tighter.
"What did I tell you in the apartment?" Harley paused, tears fell harder against Ivy's cheeks. "I told you, I had more history with you, and that I loved you, you remember?"
Ivy simply nodded turning around in Harley's arms pressing her forehead against the blonde's. "I just get… I get…"
Harley pressed her fingers to Ivy's lips, "I know, and I know I have left you in the past, I know I have hurt you more times than I can count but I promise, I swear to you I'm not going anywhere."
Ivy looked at her and then grabbed her face crushing her lips against Harley's, she held her there for a long moment. When they finally broke they were breathless, the blonde smiled as they held onto each other.
"C'mon, lets go for a swim." The blonde stepped back and peeled out of her dress.
Ivy giggled and pulled off her shorts and shirt, as well as her underwear walking into the water. Harley followed suit throwing her underwear onto the pile of clothes and jumped in splashing the redhead with cold water. Ivy yelp in surprise then laughed diving into the water, Harley popped her head out of the water looking around for the redhead, who emerged behind her, she jumped onto the blonde's back and kissed her cheek.
Harley chuckled softly then pulled Ivy to face her, wrapping her legs around her hips. The redhead smiled gently cupping the back of the blonde's head bringing their foreheads together. They bobbed together in the water as the sun set and the moon began to rise in the sky.
The next morning Harley woke up before Ivy did, she glanced over at the bedside clock, it read 10:30am. The blonde couldn't help but smile as she took in the sight before her, the redhead was sprawled out on her stomach tangled within the sheets. Harley rolled onto her side resting her head in her hand, she admired the beautiful woman that slept so peacefully. She trailed her finger tips down her partners spine tracing her soft skin. Ivy mumbled something inaudible then let out a sigh hugging the pillow closer to her head.
The blonde's lips spread into a smile as she leaned in and traced feather light kisses along the redhead's shoulder. A soft shiver shook through her frame and a smile crept onto the sleeping goddess' face. Harley trailed her finger tips to the small of Ivy's back, she nuzzled her skin tracing their initials gently. The green goddess shifted her body and rolled on top of the pale beauty pinning her hands above her head. "Hello darling"
Harley giggled and laced their fingers as she looked up at the beautiful specimen hovering above her. "Well good mornin' hot stuff." The blonde arched her back off the bed and reached Ivy's lips, she brushed her own lips against the redhead's then fell back on the bed.
"Ah we are being a tease this morning, are we? Two can play that game" Ivy grinned mischievously.
The green goddess shifted over the blonde straddling her hips as she trailed her lips down Harley's neck. Her breath was hot against her partners skin, continuing down over her throat, across her chest before hovering over the blonde's breast. Harley tightened her grip on her partners hand arching her chest closer to Ivy's lips.
There was a devilish smile playing on the redhead's mouth, she hovered her mouth over Harley's breast blowing against her nipple. The pale beauty arched her back further an exasperated moan leaving her lips. Ivy flicked her tongue against the nipple grinning as it hardened, she released her hands from Harley's before rolling off.
The blonde fell back against the bed flustered, something dark and needy pooling in her lower belly. Ivy swung her legs over the side of the bed and stood, she reached her arms over her head stretching. The blonde sat up, leaning back against the palms of her hands watching the beautiful naked woman before her. "What did you want to do today darling?"
Harley tapped her chin, "We should go to the mall and be all coupley." She stood from the bed walking towards her closet, she smacked Ivy's bum as she passed. The redhead jumped a grin spreading across her lips.
"The mall huh, holding hands and everything?" Ivy teased, as she walked to her duffle bag pulling on a pair of shorts and a crop top. Harley pulled on a black plunging v-neck long sleeve shirt and a red skirt with her classic diamonds in black on the side. She left her hair down for once sweeping it over her shoulder. Ivy looked over at the blonde and bit down against her lip, she crossed the room and swept Harley into her arms. The pale beauty giggled as she snaked her arms around the green goddess' neck.
Ivy grinned slyly running her index finger from the blondes exposed navel along her bare stomach to where her breasts peaked from the shirt. "Are you trying to drive me crazy?" Something flashed across her emerald eyes as she pulled Harley against her body. The blonde shook her head as she ran her fingers through Ivy's fiery hair. "No, but I love what this is doing to you."
Ivy rolled her eyes and leaned up on her toes stealing a kiss from Harley's lips before letting her go. The blonde chuckled and took her partners hand as they ventured into the city. After the two had shopped their hearts out they ended up in the condominium building complex turned beautiful wetlands. Way back when Harley had tied herself to a tree to try and save it because it was going to get destroyed. Ivy of course came to the rescue turning the complex into an oasis, so it became protected land.
They sat up in that lark oak tree that stood tall overlooking Ivy's wonderful handy work. "This place is still thriving huh?" Harley turned to her partner, placing her hand over hers.
"Yeah, it's stunning." Ivy looked out fondly at her work.
"You always swoop in and save my ass." Harley bumped her shoulder against the redhead's
She laughed softly and brought her gaze to meet the blonde's "Yes, and I always will my Daffodil."
Harley blinked a little stunned before a smile spread across her lips. "You haven't called me that in forever." Ivy tilted her head to the side and nodded. "Yeah, you're right it has been so long."
"Come on, lets get back and take a bath." The blonde smiled and climbed down the tree.
Once they were back at the apartment the two lovers had run a bath with bubbles, candles and of course some wine. Ivy lay against the blonde's chest resting her head back against her shoulder, Harley brushed her fingertips along her partners arms to her shoulders and back down again. The redhead turned her head into the blonde's neck nuzzling the skin there with her lips, giving it a little nibble.
Goosebumps raised against the blonde's skin, she lifted her hand to Ivy's chin lifting it slightly. Harley leaned into the redhead pressing her lips against her partners, she held the redhead's chin between her index finger and thumb. The green goddess couldn't help but smile against the blonde's lips, she leaned into the kiss reaching up and cupping her lover's cheek.
Ivy bit down against Harley's lip and pulled against it, she sucked against it before letting go. She settled back into the pale beauties arms, with a small smirk on her face. It was just going to be a game of teasing. There was a low growl that escaped the blonde's lips as she leaned down and bit Ivy's shoulder. The redhead smirked again then stood suddenly and climbed out of the tub, she bent over very slowly to pick up the towel that was on the floor, so her partner could get the full view.
Harley blinked at the sudden movement, she watched the redhead and her movements, her eyes went wide as she watched Ivy bend slowly. Her blue eyes darkened, and she stood pulling the plug in the tub, Ivy walked out of the bathroom and into the main room finding a pair of underwear and a tank top slipping them on. Harley followed her, a small grin on her face, she grabbed the same pulling them on.
"Shall we put on a movie my daffodil?" Ivy walked to the bed and jumped onto it crossing her legs.
Harley chuckled and walked over to the bed flopping onto it crawling onto Ivy's lap. "Yeah of course, we can see what's on." She flipped on the tv and found some gushy love story that was playing. Harley played with her fingers, flashes of that night weeks back still played in her head. But Ivy wasn't dead, she was sitting right here, she had thought up this whole trip up for her. Ivy always had Harley's back no matter what. She had always saved her ass from some sort of shenanigans she had gotten herself into. The blonde had distanced herself these past few weeks, she was stuck on that night, and she couldn't get over it. That stopped now, she had this beautiful woman that loved her sitting here holding her. She sat up suddenly startling the redhead, Ivy blinked tilting her head to the side. "Are you alright doll?"
Harley simply nodded then crawled into her partners lap pushing her down against the bed, the redhead raised her eyebrow slowly as she gazed up at her partner. "Harls…We don't…" The blonde touched Ivy's lips shushing her, she slid her hand to the green goddess' cheek before pressing her lips against hers. The redhead let out a small breath as she slid her hands up the blonde's thighs and taking hold of her hips. Their kiss deepened, Harley's tongue begging for an entrance. Ivy parted her lips and their tongues met twisting with one another, the blonde dragged her hands to the redhead's chest giving her breasts a squeeze over her shirt.
A moan escaped her lips as her body began to tingle, the blonde broke their kiss and dragged her lips along Ivy's jaw. She made her way down the redhead's neck biting against it roughly, she pulled the tank top Ivy was wear over her head and tossed it aside. Her hands were on her partners breasts squeezing as her lips made their way across her collar bone. Ivy's heart was racing in her chest, her body on fire as pleasure coursed through her.
Harley continued down her partners body, her lips tracing every part of her, Ivy had pulled the leaves covering her heat back in anticipation. The blonde grinned her fingers finding their way to her folds, the redhead let out a soft moan desire pooling in her lower belly. The pale beauty ran her fingers through Ivy's soaking heat, she brought them to her lips sucking gently. Her ocean blue eyes turned to ice as she relished in the taste of her partner. Ivy sat up on her forearms and watched the blonde her breathing hitching her in throat.
Harley didn't waste anymore time, she slid her fingers into the redhead suddenly pushing them deep inside her. The green goddess arched her back fisting the bed sheets in her hands, her insides clenching around her lover's fingers. "fuck..fuck oh my god" Harley's lips turned up in a dark smile, Ivy's words only fueling her. She felt the walls clamping down around her fingers, she pulled them out slowly then pushed them back in swiftly. Ivy cried out again panting heavier, the blonde brought her lips in and encircled Ivy's throbbing clit.
The redhead's toes curled, her body tensing as her orgasm built, Harley continuing to rock her fingers in and out of her at a brutally slow pace, her tongue lapping at her partners clit. Ivy was on the brink of exploding when Harley stopped, she pulled her fingers from her and simple blew against the redhead's heat. The green goddess let out a whimper as she opened her eyes looking down at the pale beauty.
The blonde climbed over Ivy as she slid her own heat against the redhead's leg, she was soaked simply from pleasuring her partner. The redhead sat up and cupped her lover's cheeks looking deep into her eyes. They began to rock their hips, each perched on the others thigh, their clits rubbing against the skin. Harley slid her hands to the redhead's ass gripping onto it tightly, she began to close her eyes as the sensation built within her, but Ivy pulled her face closer whispering to her.
"Open your eyes…I want to see you…" Ivy purred her voice laced with desire. Harley's eyelids flashed open her blue eyes met those emerald of her partners. Their gazes were locked as they continued rocking their hips quicker, the sensation built faster, taking hold of their bodies. They couldn't look away from each other, and it only made it more intense. And their orgasms came with a vengeance tearing through them deliciously, their bodies clenched and they both screamed out crying each-others names. Ivy fell back against the bed clutching her lover in her arms as she came down from the high that was sweet release.
Harley pressed her face against the redhead's neck as she panted, the left overs of their love making dripping down their thighs. Ivy lifted the blonde's face and found her lips kissing her hard, their lips moving slowly but deep. She pulled away to look into her partners eyes holding her gaze. The two were trembling, Harley's lips pulled into a smile as she touched the redhead's cheek. She feathered kisses along Ivy's collar bone, kissing over her heart softly. The green goddess shivered and bit down against her lip.
"Not so fragile anymore huh?" Ivy teased as she leaned down and nibbled Harley's ear softly. The blonde looked up and smirked and the redhead but leaned up and pecked her lips. "I'm sorry, I know I have been holding back, and I've been distant. I was just so locked up in my head."
Ivy waved it off and brushed her fingers against the blonde's lips as she watched her ocean blue eyes. "I know my little daffodil, that's why I suggested we come out here. You needed this." Harley watched her partners emerald eyes, they were vibrant and sure, she felt her eyes begin to burn as tears pooled and fell against her cheeks. She pressed her forehead against her partners cheek pressing against her. Ivy turned her head and pressed her lips to the blonde's temple wrapping her arms tightly around her. For just a moment everything was as it should be.
