Hey all!
XXXX
She enters the apartment with a bottle of wine in one hand and a copy of the newest Beauty and the Beast movie in hand. It hasn't even been released in theaters but nothing is inaccessible to one Lena Luthor.
She figures it's one way to soften the blow for the blonde because sadly the businesswoman won't be able to watch it with the reporter on opening weekend. The CEO's going away for work and it isn't a domestic trip where she can just leave Thursday night, cram everything on Friday, and return back to Kara by Saturday afternoon.
And Lena's more than apprehensive because she's made sure to always be accessible for Kara. Now she'll be thousands of miles away from the blonde and anyone can come in and undo all her work.
"Hey," Kara greets as she emerges from the bathroom.
"I'm going to be gone." she informs the Kryptonian, not wanting to prolong the discussion. "I'll be flying to Asia." she's making her mandatory trip to L Corps plants in China and the labs in Japan. "I'll be gone a week or so, depending on how the inspections go." it'll be the longest they'll be away from each other.
"You'll still text me though?" Kara sounds so incredibly small and appears absolutely crestfallen that Lena can't help but lay a kiss on her lips to assuage her gloom.
"I'll Vidcall you everyday." she promises as they part.
"I'll still miss you though." Lena's not even gone and she's already dreading and not because she'll be alone but because she won't be able to be around the CEO whose presence she's become addicted to.
Lena's making certain she becomes a constancy that Kara desperately craves.
"You know you should join me." Lena suggests a she brushes blonde locks back, tucking them behind Kara's ear. "What's the use of having super powers if you never enjoy using them for yourself?" she reasons. "Fly in after work to eat pot stickers in China?" she knows Kara is easily baited by the promise of food. "Gyoza in Japan?"' meals together is a habit Lena's making sure she won't be able to break. "Make sure I don't miss meals while I'm there?" Kara's eyes bulge upon remembering her inclination for choosing work over food.
"I'm definitely going to join you for dinner." Kara's brows crease as she works out the time difference. "Well dinner for me and probably lunchtime for you."
"Sounds perfect." Lena kisses her again. "And don't worry, I made sure you won't have to wait to watch Belle fall for the Beast." the Kryptonian shakes her head in reply because she doesn't really want to make Lena feel bad over a silly little thing when she's done so much for Kara.
"I don't mind." she can stand to wait.
"But then what will I do with the advanced copy I brought?" Kara's eyes practically bulge out of her sockets and grins so brightly that she almost has to squint.
"You're incredible." because Lena always thinks of her.
"And don't you forget it." the raven haired beauty cups her cheeks and pulls her in for a languid kiss. "Now why don't you wait here while I change into something more comfortable?"
Kara nods but Lena doesn't release her hold on the blonde. Instead her lips connect with the reporter's velvety mouth. Her tongue flicks against the taller woman's as she slips the coat off her shoulders. She tosses it on the couch before her hands are seeking the edges of the Kara's shirt. She slides her hand under, giving her access to the area she's burning to caress. Her fingers dance against Kara's unyielding skin while her mouth begins to trail at the crook of the blonde woman's neck.
"Lena…" Kara moans as she places her hands on Lena's shoulders to get her to cease her actions.
"What?" Lena can see her eyes have darkened with immeasurable desire and the businesswoman takes pride in being the reason for the change in hue. She's certain Kara can see just how affected she is as well. "I just wanted your help with getting my clothes off." they've been physical with one another but they still haven't crossed that last barrier yet.
"You're a tease." as she reluctantly pushes the dark haired temptress away.
Any more and Kara's certain she'd lose what little inhibition she has left and just let Lena ravage her on kitchen floor. While there's nothing more she wants than to finally be able to know what it feels like for her insides to be touched by Lena, she knows there are still steps needed to be taken, things they need to discuss, before they can push that edge of the envelope.
There's a knock on the door and Kara thinks it's the take out so she doesn't bother checking with her x-ray vision.
Kara takes advantage of the CEO's distraction and slips away from her seductress's hold. Lena ventures into Kara's bedroom while the Kryptonian opens her door and is ultimately surprised when she finds Mon El outside in her apartment hallway.
"Hey." he greets like Kara hasn't heard from him in a while. The last time they'd spoken was at the furniture store and that had been months ago. He tries to move forward but Kara remains holding the door ajar, with only half her body poking visible behind the entrance, not bothering to open it fully and invite him inside. "Can I come in?"
"It's better if you stay outside." she hears the clacking of heels behind her. "Actually I think it'd be better if you left."
"Look, I'm sorry for not calling, I didn't think you'd answer." he begins and the look on Kara's face lets him know he's right. "I'm also sorry for ditching hero training because I've been avoiding you." he admits his faults but Kara can't find it in herself to care.
"This really isn't a good time." Kara stops him before he can say anything else.
"Oh, I'm sorry." he looks incredibly stupefied, clearly not expecting the kindhearted Kryptonian to turn him away. "I'll come back then." he scratches the back of his head.
"It's best if you don't." she wants nothing to do with him.
"I really am sorry." he says like it's supposed to erase the wrongs he's committed. "I miss you." he confesses like it should be enough for Kara to welcome him back in her life. "I want to be your friend again, Kara."
"It's too late for that." she thinks of jet-black hair, forest eyes, and skin the shade of the moon. She thinks of Lena whose lips she still feels burning on her own. "Goodbye, Mon-El. " she shuts the door in his face before he can even utter another word. Kara turns and her eyes lock onto pools of emerald. Lena stands, clad in the Kryptonian's shorts and her oversized shirt, and Kara can't find it in herself to regret turning Mon away. "You heard all that then?" they haven't talked about it, what they mean to each other.
"It's hard not to." it sounds too much like a thank you.
They hadn't discussed the now ambiguous nature of Kara's sexuality, simply because The Kryptonian doesn't want to think too hard on labels and their implications. She's most definitely not a lesbian judging from her dating roster. Bisexual is just as unsuitable because the only woman the Kara's ever been attracted to is Lena. Questioning is too demeaning, like she's experimenting. It makes her feel like Lena's a tool, an end to a means when she's so much more than that.
"I know we haven't really talked about us, and maybe that's my fault, or maybe we don't really need to but I really just want to tell that I can't remember the last time I've ever felt this happy." Kara begins. "And I don't want you to feel like you wouldn't be enough because you are." she hopes this suffices, hopes Lena can read between the lines.
She isn't ready to utter the words that can alleviate Lena's worries but they are siting on the edge of her tongue. It's only a matter of time before she will. She's falling harder than she's ever done before.
Lena strides across the room to Kara. Her hands automatically reach for Kara, the tips of her fingers on the taller woman's neck, her palm hot against her jaw, while her thumbs graze her cheeks as she presses their lips together. And Kara can taste the sheer determination on her tongue as she shows the Kryptonian she's made the right choice because Lena can, will, satisfy Kara better than anyone.
"I would never walk away from you because I know I am more than capable of fulfilling your every desire." the businesswoman declares.
And Kara knows it's true. They've had enough romantic sessions for Kara to know how talented her tongue is and how skilled her hands are. Lena definitely has a lot of experience when it comes to the art of seduction.
But Kara isn't worried about being Lena's prey.
Lena's managed to ease whatever worries Kara could possibly have that particular issue because she can see just how hard Lena's been trying, the amount of effort she's put into wooing her.
The businesswoman's never needed to assure her because Kara isn't a fool. She knows she won't be another just notch on Lena's bedpost. She knows because she can taste Lena's yearning on her mouth, feel her attachment in the tightness of her grip, and see hope every time she looks in those pools of emerald. Lena is doing all this to worm her way, not only into her pants, but also into Kara's heart.
"You do." Kara assures, not doubting Lena's abilities.
Kara sees the disbelief written all over Lena's features and knows verbal guarantees aren't enough.
Lena's been disappointed too many times. So she presses her lips against the middle of her forehead before making her way to the CEO's perfectly shaped brows. She kisses each eyelid and moves her hands so she's able to kiss her cheeks before trailing down her jawline before staring into those pools of green she can spend hours getting lost into.
Of course Lena knew Mon would be back. He had been an idiot to walk away in the first place. So Lena's been preparing for this moment, of the day a male romantic prospect will attempt to sweep Kara off her feet, and try to undo all of Lena's hard work.
Hands weave through golden tresses as Lena pulls her closer, pouring herself into the Kryptonian's welcoming mouth.
And Kara absorbs all of her.
She let's Lena's hands roam under her shirt once more, let's her trail her dedication on her skin. She accepts the offering, accepts Lena's fidelity. She let's her temptress's tongue subdue her own, accepts the refuge, the desire, and everything else that Lena's giving.
Because this is Lena fighting for Kara.
Lena who is stubborn and relentless. Lena who won't stop until Kara recognizes that she's the only viable option as Kara's keeper. Lena who still refuses to believe she's the exception to Kara's rule even if it is the most obvious answer.
Lena, who will continue to show Kara that no one else will ever be able to shower the Kryptonian with this amount of devotion.

Damn that episode just made me fall for Lena Luthor and Katie Mcgrath more!
SPOILERS! DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN EPISODE 2X12 LUTHORS
I had a feeling they were going to make her Lionel's daughter. The Luthors wouldn't adopt a random kid. But damn, she's smarter than Lex. I wonder what she's going to do? Lena is definitely playing the long game here but to what end? Is it world domination? Ridding Earth of aliens?
I wouldn't be surprised if they set her up as the main villain in the third season seeing as the focus is on Lillian right now. I would be disappointed because Lena Luthor deserves better than that. Maybe if they give her a better platform, a different reason as to why she would be evil. I don't want it to be Lena just wanting to succeed where Lex, Lilian, and Lionel have failed.
She seems like she's too perceptive for that because she's been playing Lillian too by acting that she wants her love. And if she's working with Lex then why would she pretend with Lillian?
Lena definitely has her own agenda.
Maybe it's to get in Kara's pants? I mean come on! She initiated the hug and sent flowers to her office? That's like something out of my fanfiction! And she practically called her family! Seems like she knows Kara is Supergirl hence why she's baiting her. She opened up to her about her family trying to get Kara's sympathy! And really, Kara's not exactly subtle. Telling Lena Kara sent her? Come on! I wouldn't do all that just to earn someone's trust. She's actively trying to make Kara feel special which is the same thing I'm doing here!
SPOILER OVER
That was a long rant, I know. I'm surprised if you read all that. I just needed to vent because I don't know anyone who watches Supergirl and really I only watch for Katie Mcgrath because she's just... she's amazing really. Obviously she's beautiful but she's talented and is getting really good at hiding her accent! Though I miss hearing it.
She has a quality, a charisma, in her acting that makes me believe in her, even when she's bad I'm rooting for her.
It's really hard to make Lena an honest manipulator. But that's what I'm going with here. I don't want her to lie or cheat or anything like that. She's playing on Kara's emotions, on Kara's altruism, on her naivete, by using methods like positive reinforcement and seduction in order to get Kara.
But at the same time, she can't be too aggressive because that might scare Kara off since doesn't feel she's secured her position in Kara's life.
Anyway, thanks again for the love! What do you think so far?
