Chapter 14: Awesome Foreplay & Thea's Formal Warning

That being said, she lunged violently at the other woman.

Her thrust lacked real intention, that was clear to Nyssa: it was merely to prove a point; but before Sara could even touch her, the other woman took a hold of her wrist and twisted it slightly without applying any pressure, but still forcing her to bend over to keep her wrist and shoulder in place "You were seriously about to hit me?"

Sara flipped her body and freed her arm, taking a firm hold of Nyssa's hand and bending it backwards, quickly moving to stand behind her, locking her right arm behind her back "I wasn't and you know it"

The brunette reached back with her left hand, putting some pressure on a specific spot in Sara's right hand, forcing the woman to release her. She quickly turned around to face her and carefully pushed her back, blocking Sara's attempt to lock her arm again.

The blonde turned them around so she had more room to move, just in case Nyssa would go into 'al Ghul' mode. She noticed they were almost by the kitchen area now, and shoved the other woman one last time, pinning her back against the kitchen island. She reached up, using her right hand to hold Nyssa's jaw firmly, forcing her to look into her eyes "Stop"

Nyssa tilted her head back to get rid of the strong grip on her clenched jaw, then tried to flip their position, but was met with two strong hands grabbing her wrists and Sara's body flush against hers, holding her in place "Nyssa, stop!" the blonde repeated more forcefully.

They stared into each other's eyes, breathing heavily, until Sara's eyes darted briefly down to her lips before she closed the small gap between them and kissed her furiously.

The brunette responded right away, tangling her fingers in Sara's hair as soon as her hands were free, and biting down hard on the blonde's bottom lip, eliciting an almost feral growl from her.

Sara pulled away from the kiss long enough to remove Nyssa's shirt first, then hers in one swift motion. She moved her hands back to the brunette's hip, while the woman wasted no time in getting rid of her fiancee's bra, kissing her deeply again.

She felt a hard, insistent tug on her hair as her hands moved down the sides of Nyssa's thighs, then back up, roughly pushing the soft, red skirt up.

The action earned her another insistent tug, this time accompanied by an almost inaudible and desperate whine. She kissed down the brunette's neck, sucking on her pulse point when her fingers brushed against soft underwear.

Nyssa groaned and moved her hands to the back of her skirt, unzipping it carefully and letting it fall to the floor as soon as the blonde moved her hand to allow it.

She yelped when she felt Sara's hands on her waist, holding her up easily, to sit her on the island counter. The blonde involuntarily laughed at the sound, making her fiancée laugh, too, then started kissing up her left leg while hooking her fingers on the waistband of Nyssa's underwear and pulling it down.

The brunette leaned back when she felt the all too familiar soft kisses on the inside of her thigh, but used her left elbow to hold herself up enough to be able to look at the other woman. Sara noticed and smirked to herself, still moving up with the same soft kisses "Fucking love that you like to watch" she almost growled, nipping at the skin under her lips.

"I am fully aware you enjoy it almost as much as I do" the brunette said half smirking, running her right hand's fingers through the other woman's hair.

"If not even more" she mumbled before reaching her destination, feeling Nyssa's strong fingers take a firm hold of her hair after the first soft lick.

She licked, kissed and sucked every spot she knew would drive the other woman closer and closer to the edge, eliciting countless soft gasps and quiet moans. The firm grip on her hair never faltered, and soon enough those quiet moans turned into an all too familiar, but still as powerful as the first time she heard it, soft whining.

The blonde moved her right hand up to rest on Nyssa's stomach to hold her down, using her thumb to softly rub the soft skin there, and within seconds she felt the muscles beneath her fingers tighten as Nyssa's back arched.

Her head thrown back and her previously soft whining hitting a surprisingly high pitched note—even if only for a split second—Nyssa finally let go.

Sara helped her ride out her orgasm, making it last as long as she could, then climbed on top of the counter, slowly kissing her way up the other woman's body while the brunette tried to remember how is one supposed to breathe like a normal and fully functional human being.

Without even opening her eyes, Nyssa hooked her arm around the blonde's neck and pulled her down for a long, hard, giggling kiss. Sara kept her forehead against hers after the kiss, and even with her eyes closed Nyssa could tell the blonde was smiling "I love you" she whispered against her lips, only daring to open one eye.

"I love you, too"

She kissed her again, softly this time "I'm sorry, beloved. I should never have lied to you about those scars; truth is, I was afraid to tell you about them and what would they make you think of me"

The blonde nodded, smiling softly "I know. It's okay, I get it. But you need to promise never to do that again, Nyssa, I don't like feeling like an ass 'cause you kept me in the dark. Nothing can or will change how I feel about you" now was her turn to kiss the other woman when she saw her nod in agreement.

"Don't ever leave it up to me to guess your feelings, Sara" the brunette said seriously, frowning with concern "That is what got us in this situation in the first place. I will always take your word, whatever that might be; so if you lie to me, you can't blame me for assuming that was, indeed, the truth"

Sara nodded and looked at her apologetically "I'm sorry. And I'm sorry for fake trying to kick your ass, too"

Nyssa chuckled and shook her head "I know you were not actually trying. Neither was I"

"I know; if you wanted me dead or unconscious, I would be. Blood lust and pit strenght be damned" she grinned, wiggling her eyebrows up and down "Awesome foreplay, tho"

They laughed again until something started vibrating against Nyssa's hip, startling them both "Is that your phone?"

Sara grinned at her before reaching inside her pocket "No, I'm just really happy to see you"

The brunette rolled her eyes and poked her as she answered the ringing phone "Hey, dad, is everything okay?"

Nyssa frowned, waiting to hear something that would let her know Damian was alright.

"Yeah, okay, cool" she said nodding, then continued the topic of conversation, whatever it was "I think in like an hour; stuff got... Intense"

The brunette bit her lip trying not to laugh and looked away, still paying attention to Sara's side of the conversation "We're fine" a groan "Is that really necessary?" a sigh "I know she's been through a lot already, daddy" a loud huff "Fine!" then a soft voice addressing her "Can you please say something so my dad can make sure you are not 'hurt or worse'?"

She chuckled "I can assure you, I am not hurt or worse, Captain Lance"

"There! Happy?"

Nyssa smiled and ran her fingers down her fiancée's back.

"Yes. Oh my God, no! Okay. Fine. Look, dad, I gotta go, bye!" she groaned, leaving the phone on the counter "Everything is fine; they are at my dad's. Laurel and Tommy are coming for dinner. So are Thea and Roy, apparently, 'cause they ran into them"

"You did say we have an hour, correct?"

"Yeah"

She wrapped one arm around Sara's waist, flipping their position and laying half on top of her, a mischievous grin on her face "Excellent"

"Just so you know, if you drop him and break his neck, his mother is gonna literally rip your heart out of your chest with her bare hands and shove it down your throat or up your ass; depending on the mood"

"Relax, Sara!" Tommy said nonchalantly, laughing with Damian, who was thrown over his shoulder hanging upside down. He turned to face her when the words registered in his brain "Wait, what?"

"You heard me"

"Yeah, but that can't be right; it sounds like this woman is scarier than Nyssa, and I know that's not possible"

"Oh, but it is, Thomas" Nyssa said smirking as she entered the living room. She sat down on the couch with Sara and crossed her legs "I believe I am, as you would say, 'the nice one' in our family"

"Well, that's one scary thought" Roy said, sharing a smile with the woman.

"Should I stop, then?"

Nyssa shook her head "Not unless you wish to do so. I do believe Damian has been spending an excessive amount of time surrounded by women. Some manly influence should be good for him"

The blonde scoffed "Manly? I've heard him shriek, Nyssa. Shriek. More than once. I'm manlier than he is"

"Hey!"

"What part of that sentence wasn't true?" Sara asked him raising one eyebrow.

Tommy rolled his eyes and carefully put the boy down. Damian laughed and ran to Roy, who was waiting for him with his arms open. He picked him up and flipped him upside down, holding him up by his ankles, which made the boy laugh again.

"I didn't say it wasn't true, it just hurt my feelings" Tommy said indignantly.

"See?!" the blonde said, raising her arm in his direction while looking at Nyssa, who was trying not to laugh.

"Stop bullying my husband, Sara" Laurel said moving to hug him and kiss his cheek "He is manly enough for me"

"Then you're basically a lesbian" her younger sister smirked.

"Who's a lesbian now?" Thea asked, walking to the couch and sitting between both former assassins, wiggling a little so they would move and make room for her.

"Laurel" Sara answered, grinning when she saw her sister roll her eyes.

"You are?" the young Queen asked and shrugged "Well, whatever floats your boat, Lance" she rested her head on Nyssa's shoulder when the woman stretched her arm over the back of the couch to play with Sara's hair "Wait, are you divorcing Tommy? 'Cause if you are, I want the present I got you back"

"She's not divorcing me!" the man said shaking his head, then looked down at his wife "You're not divorcing me, right?"

Laurel laughed and kissed his cheek again "No, babe, I'm not divorcing you; nor am I attracted to women"

"Huh" Thea said pursing her lips "Not even Nyssa?"

The older Lance sister arched one eyebrow and smirked "No, but I'm starting to think you might be"

Thea grinned and wrapped one arm around Nyssa's waist, snuggling in closer and ignoring the murderous look she got from the blonde sitting on her other side "Maybe"

Nyssa laughed and wrapped her arm around the younger girl's shoulders.

"I'm onto you, Thea, hands where I can see 'em" Sara warned.

She tilted her head in the blonde's direction before smirking "Look, I respect your engagement and stuff, but if you are stupid enough to leave again, I'm making my move. This is my official, formal warning"

"Then I guess you'll have to settle for Roy, 'cause I'm not going anywhere"

"We'll see about that" Thea said chuckling before resuming her Nyssa-snuggling.

"It's getting really hard not to feel insulted" Roy pointed out staring at the tv screen where he and Damian were playing a videogame.

"Welcome to the club" Tommy said smiling, kissing Laurel and going to the 'men's couch', sitting down next to Damian "I play the winner"

Sin walked into the living room, stopping short at the sight of Thea cuddling with Nyssa "That's seriously freaking me out. Stop it"

Quentin walked in behind her, taking a few seconds to look at both women. He frowned, scoffed, shook his head, shrugged, grabbed his coat, waved at the group, and kept walking to the front door without saying a word.

"What's your problem? You want in?" Thea asked her friend once Captain Lance was out of the house.

"Not really"

"Why not? Nyssa is very cuddly"

The statement made Nyssa half smile and Sara nod in agreement.

"I'm having a really hard time with this whole thing…" Sin explained, waving her hand in front of them "...you are way cooler than this, Nys"

Nyssa's arm around Thea tightened, and she winked in Sin's direction, still half smiling "A lady should never be deprived of anything she desires if one can help it. Regardless of how 'un-cool' the result might turn out to look like for third parties"

Sin scoffed and Laurel smirked looking at her sister while moving to one of the armchairs "That's some serious game your fiancée has going on there"

"Yep! Actually, her full name is: Nyssa 'Game-for-Days' Raatko" Sara said grinning proudly.

"Still have no idea what she's doing with you"

"I have some game of my own" she said winking, then holding the right half of her bottom lip between her teeth.

"Ew" Sin said grimacing.

"Well, I do!"

"True" Nyssa agreed.

"Alright!" Tommy exclaimed standing up and looking at Damian "I think it's your bedtime, pal"

"No, c'mon, just five more minutes! I was about to kick the Green Arrow's butt, just like khala would!"

All the grown ups froze at hearing him say that. Some of them, like Roy and Tommy frowned in disbelief, but others, like Laurel and Nyssa, only smirked discreetly.

"You think Nyssa can kick the Green Arrow's butt?" Roy asked.

"Yeah" the boy said shrugging "She's pretty badass"

"She is, but seriously? Like, Green Arrow level of badass?" the young man insisted.

Damian rolled his eyes "Yeah! Even more, she's been training since she was a little kid"

"I'm with Damian on that one" Laurel said giggling.

"And how do you know the Green Arrow hasn't?" this time was Sara's turn to ask.

"You can tell" he turned to look at her "I mean, you should be able to tell by the way he fights" he added, implying her past with the League "Too many openings, he's sloppy. Khala isn't. She can kick his butt for sure if she wants to"

The blonde turned to look at her fiancée, who looked back at her raising her eyebrows and shrugging as if it was the first time she was hearing her nephew say that.

"My mom thinks so, too" Damian continued "And that 'the Arsenal boy' could use some real training if he wants to live past twenty-five. She says he uses so much unnecessary parkour to make up for the fact that he's smaller than the rest of them" he looked at Roy up and down "Kinda like you"

Roy looked at Nyssa completely outraged, which made the brunette shrug again, biting the inside of her cheek to keep herself from laughing.

"Speedy is mostly okay, though" the boy observed scratching the back of his head "She seems to know what she's doing when she fights"

"Ha!" Thea exclaimed triumphantly, only to get smacked on the back of her head by Nyssa "I mean, yeah, I totally agree on that, you're a smart kid"

Sara eyed him suspiciously "Who told you to say that?"

"I am Damian Wayne, son of Talia al Ghul, former Heir to the Demon; I don't take orders from anyone" he said with a hard expression on his face.

"Except from those above you, meaning your mother and khala" the blonde observed, and he had to relax his stance and nod "So, who was it?"

"I told you: no one" he repeated "Those are my personal observations. I am League trained, aunt Sara, I'm supposed to notice that kinda stuff"

Sara looked at her fiancée arching one eyebrow "It was you, wasn't it?"

"I did not do such thing" the brunette responded indignantly "I would never force my nephew to voice thoughts that are not his own"

"Well, just so you know, Damian…" the blonde looked back at him "...the Green Arrow and your khala faced each other and she did not win"

"I was distracted by your seemingly imminent death!" Nyssa glared at her indignantly, which made Sara smirk.

"You spared his life?" the boy asked, his curious gaze directed at his aunt.

"We spared each other's lives in multiple occasions, Damian, yes"

"Why?"

"He was never a target of mine. Our disputes were of a personal nature. The League does not kill innocents merely because they are a personal inconvenience" she made a point to renmark the last word.

Damian looked at her deep in thought, finally deciding she was right and nodding shortly "Agreed"

"Huh" Thea tilted her head and looked at Nyssa "Never thought of it that way"

"Consider it part of your moral training" the woman said in a low voice only for her to hear, then focused on Sara "Was that enough explanation for your curious observation? Are you satisfied?"

The blonde smirked and made a point to look at her fiancée as she licked her lips "Mhm, very, you took care of that earlier"

Tommy bent down and picked the boy up over his shoulder again "Okay, that's it! Trust me, kid. These women can scar you for life. Considering one of them is your aunt, you really don't wanna be here" he turned around so Damian could see the rest of the group and not just his back "Say goodnight"

"Goodnight!" the boy said waving.

Sara leaned forward and fistbumped him, while Nyssa smiled sweetly "Night, kid"

Tommy started walking up the stairs, saying something that made Damian laugh again.

"So what's your game?" Thea asked looking at Sara once Tommy and the boy were out of earshot "Like, explicitly"

"Yeah, I'm gonna go hang out with the guys" Roy said standing up and walking away. Before he could go upstairs, though, there was a soft knock on the front door, and after seeing Nyssa nod at him, he stopped to open it.

A smiling Felicity and a frowning Oliver were on the other side, and he moved aside to let them in.

"Hi, sorry we're late, you'll find out the reasons in the following weeks. Probably" the woman said walking into the living room "Where's Damian?"

"Bedtime" Laurel explained.

"Aw, frack, I really wanted to meet him!" she whined "He looked so cute in those pics Sara sent today!"

"You can meet him tomorrow, Felicity" Nyssa offered smiling and the hacker nodded, sitting on the arm of Laurel's chair "So, what are we talking about? Catch me up! And why are Thea and Nyssa cuddling? That's just weird"

"Thank you!" Sin exclaimed "Sara was about to traumatize me. Do you know a good shrink? Money ain't a problem, she's paying"

"That's my cue to leave" Roy said, then looked at Oliver "Tommy is upstairs, in case you want an excuse to escape this, and I recommend you do"

"Yes, please" they both ran upstairs as fast as they could and went to find Tommy.

"Anyway" the hacker exclaimed rubbing her hands "How are we traumatizing Sin?"

Nyssa glared at Sara, who laughed and shrugged "What? You started this"

"I did not"

"Yeah, you kinda did, being all charming"

"I blame Laurel, then"

"Leave Laurel alone" Laurel said laughing.

"What did you do?" Felicity asked nudging her with her elbow.

"I pointed out the fact that Nyssa has some serious game"

"She does? I mean, of course she does, look at her. She's gorgeous! Not that you're not!" she added in a rush looking at Sara "You both are obviously very hot and stuff. Even when you do assassin-y things you look like, super hot—not that I think that in a sexual way. Of course not. But a woman can appreciate another woman, right? Especially with all the leather. But not exclusively, for example, that skirt looks particularly good you, Nyssa, you have great legs—n-not that I'm staring at your legs! I mean, I think we can all acknowledge—"

"Felicity" Laurel interrupted smirking "I think we got it"

"Oh, God, thank you" the blonde hacker said grimacing and rubbing her forehead "I wasn't sure I was ever gonna stop"

"Yeah, figured"

"So, what's your game?" Thea asked again, shifting to her left to look at Sara.

The blonde laughed and shrugged when Nyssa shot her another look "I've been told my tongue is as good to get me in trouble, as it is to get me out of it"

"Ew" Sin repeated.

Thea rolled her eyes and looked at her friend "No one is making you stay, you can go hang with the boys if you want"

"I don't want to, guess I'm a masochist" the young girl said shrugging and moved to the now empty couch.

"That still doesn't explain how you landed Nyssa" Laurel pointed out "That had to be something she discovered after giving you a chance"

"Yeah, I agree with Laurel…" Felicity said and moved to the couch Sin had claimed for herself. She lifted the girl's legs and sat down, placing Sin's feet on her lap "...so, who hit on whom?"

Sara looked at the brunette again, who just rolled her eyes and shrugged "Sara, you already overshared that piece of information regarding what I once said about your tongue. I have learned, after years of experience in the field, there is not much I can stop you from saying or doing when you do not wish to be stopped. Go ahead, beloved, I can see in your eyes you are dying to"

The blonde chuckled and nodded excitedly, then looked at Felicity and asked "Who would you say if you had to guess?"

"You. One hundred percent. You started it" the hacker responded immediately.

"Wait a minute, I don't know about that" Thea interrupted tapping her chin with one finger "My money might be on Nyssa here. She is a woman who knows what she wants and has literally zero issues with going for it"

"Pft! Are you kidding me?" Laurel asked in disbelief "Have you just met Sara? I would even bet she started sexually harassing Nyssa one week after they met"

"I don't know, dude…" Sin started "...it had to be kinda dangerous to hit on the Heir to the Demon like that. You could end up, like, super dead"

Sara pointed at her and touched the tip of her nose repeatedly with her other index finger "We all know I can't stay outta trouble, tho"

"Toldcha!" Laurel exclaimed triumphantly.

"I didn't say you were right" her sister stopped her.

"Well, then say something!" the older Lance sister said irritatedly.

Nyssa smirked and moved her arm again to play with Sara's hair "She was obviously very aware of the risks, but if anything, your sister is amazingly clever, resourceful, and persistent, Laurel" she started and Sara nodded proudly "I believe she was the first person in history who successfully manipulated my father"

"What? How?" Felicity asked intrigued.

The brunette licked her lips and smiled looking at her fiancée "How long had you been in the League by then? About three months?"

"Yeah, sounds about right" Sara said thinking "I wasn't an active asset yet"

Nyssa nodded "She meticulously made my father believe she wasn't improving like she should—even though, in reality, she already excelled at several disciplines—and started the rumor that she was having second thoughts about joining the league" she smiled and continued "Due to the circumstances of her arrival at Nanda Parbat, and because I had expressed my already subconsciously-inclined support and confidence in her training, my father, in his anger, decided to punish me" she smiled at Sara "Or, at least he thought he was punishing me. He made me responsible for her training and improvement in all League matters; that way, her failure would be mine to pay for"

"Meaning: she had to be the one to train me in all combat disciplines, stealth, teach me Arabic, Mandarin and Pashto, and even supervise my firsts solo missions to report back to him"

"So, basically, be on your ass 24/7" Thea resumed "No pun intended; dunno if you guys are into that or what… Not judging"

Her last sentence made the blonde laugh "Anyway! If I screwed up, it would be her fault. So she had to make sure I wouldn't"

"That was when the innuendos started"

"And we all know I excel at that, too"

Felicity shook her head and looked at Nyssa "How on earth did a man as smart and devious as your father fall for that? I mean, the guy was insane, but we have to admit he was pretty smart"

The woman smiled proudly, rubbing the back of Sara's neck with her thumb "She found and played his only weakness: his pride for his League"

"You are one scary lady" Sin said looking at Sara "I guess the innuendos worked?"

"Like a charm" she chuckled "Don't get me wrong, I got my ass handed to me more times than I would like to admit; but eventually I got a raised eyebrow and a half smirk instead of a leg sweep. It's the little things, you know?"

"However…" Nyssa said showing the half smirk Sara had just mentioned "...she was not the one who took the first step. Explicitly speaking"

"Nope! But I did take steps number two, three, four and probably five, whatever those are"
