"Where are you taking me, Ms. Luthor?" Kara asked, tilting her head.
As per Lena's request, she flew them to the outskirts of the city. After the latest Nodei development, the Luthor suggested a safe spot where they could sharpen Supergirl's swimming skills in anticipation of future attacks. Due to the dangerously low depths, Kara was now the only team member with a shot at taking the Nodeis on in the water. They landed in the thick of the woods and Lena was leading them through a barely-distinguishable path. Though they could easily fly closer to the mystery destination, they were keen to avoid the detection of any potential enemy surveillance. Besides, Kara found herself enjoying the trek.
Eventually the tree canopy above them thinned out and they reached a secluded alcove overlooking a bay. The blonde guessed that they were at least ten miles beyond the National City harbor.
"You're not the only one with a fortress of solitude." Lena remarked, guiding Kara by the hand.
The Kryptonian surveyed her surroundings as they traversed the beach. Chalky bluffs consisting of deep red and golden tones towered behind them, hindering outside access to the shore. Hundreds of rocks that protruded from the water seemed to discourage any boat traffic as well. An ideal place where they could use their abilities without risking exposure or interruption, Kara assumed. She followed Lena onto an aging dock that looked like it had been abandoned, climbing onto the rickety structure. The view was stunning. It must've stretched for miles on a clear day, void of skyscrapers and punctuated by mountains in the distance.
"And here I pegged you as the villa type." The blonde joked, earning a playful push from Lena.
"I'd rather buy the whole damned ocean." The brunette quipped, strutting to the end of the dock. There was a mesmerizing sway to her gait as she approached the water's edge, and Kara had to tear her attention away from those hips as Lena turned to face her.
"Not totally a stretch for a Lu-," Kara began, but quickly lost her train of thought as the Nodei suddenly peeled off her tank top. Her eyes darted to Lena's smooth skin as the brunette stripped down to boy shorts and a bra.
Noticing the gaze of her companion, the brunette sauntered over to Kara, tugging at the hem of her tee.
"Wouldn't want these getting wet," she whispered into Kara's ear, her breath causing goosebumps on the blonde's neck.
The Nodei grazed her knuckles along the waistline of the blonde's jeans and hem of her shirt, then hoisted the article over her head. Kara felt a rush of heat while Lena's hands lingered on her body, tracing taut abs. The brunette bit her lip slightly as green eyes met blue. The Kryptonian's pulse quickened. She decided to lean in, signaling her own consent and giving the Luthor an opportunity to respond. But Lena turned at the last moment, diving gracefully into the water. The Nodei emerged seconds later, smiling coyly.
"You think you're fast, Superchick? Let's see how you do on my turf." She challenged before slipping under the water's surface again.
Kara chuckled, diverting her one-track mind to the task at hand. With a swift removal of her jeans, she jumped off the dock. A refreshing chill surrounded her as she kicked through the water, taking a hefty gulp of air before submerging. Her movements were stiff and tentative, clumsy like a newborn foal. The Nodei, however, zipped. Stopping on a dime just a few feet in front of Kara, Lena gestured upwards. The blonde followed her until they were treading at the surface. Already feeling the burn in her lungs, Kara breathed heavily.
"There's lesson number one," Lena advised. "Try to slowly exhale when you're under. Focus on it and you'll build up better endurance. Let's try it, ready?"
The brunette placed her hands on the other woman's shoulders, waiting patiently for the Kryptonian to gather a large breath. Once she gave the green light, the two sank under slowly, the Luthor studying her movements as she tried out the new technique. Kara found it much easier to swim around without the panicked feeling she usually experienced, managing to stay under for twice as long as the first dive.
"Next lesson?" Lena inquired as they met again, their heads bobbing above the waves.
"Bring it on."
"You're trying to fly underwater. There's too much drag holding you back, instead you can use your superspeed."
Kara nodded thoughtfully, practicing a few freestyle strokes above the surface. She found a little boost by rotating her arms at double speed, but was still struggling to establish real pace.
"Use your feet as propellers," Lena explained, hands around Kara's ankles as she demonstrated the motion for her. "If you kick at superspeed, you'll rip through the water."
Sure enough, the other woman's advice clicked. After a few attempts, Kara was bolting through the water, both when on the surface and submerged. That leaden feeling experienced during her previous Nodei encounters seemed to disappear. After reaching a particularly breakneck speed, the Kryptonian was ecstatic to reemerge several hundred yards away from the origin. The brunette popped up next to her, equally thrilled.
"Lena, this is kickass!" She raved, pulling the Nodei into a hug. Lena smiled, congratulating her girlfriend.
"You ready to test it out?" The brunette challenged with a confident glint in her eyes.
"Hell yes." Kara responded, seconds before Lena dove below the surface.
The next two hours were spent in a constant race. At first, even Kara's enhanced speed was no match for Lena's fins. Swimming a few literal circles around her, the Nodei taunted her amusedly, trying to push the other woman to her limits. Her tactics worked and soon Kara was almost on par with her, becoming swifter as they swam out at least a dozen miles into the ocean and back towards the cliffs. Ducking, swerving, zooming around an invisible underwater track, the two sported determined grins. They laughed at each other's competitive nature each time they surfaced for Kara's air breaks.
The playful mood eventually gave way to something else, however, their race turning into a game of tag. Alternating between the chaser and the chased, the distance between the two started to shrink and gazes started to linger. As they neared the old dock, the Kryptonian couldn't help but stare at the Nodei swimming towards her. She found herself enthralled at the sight of Lena blithely maneuvering through the depths. It was as if there were nothing impeding her momentum as she propelled herself rapidly, gracefully. There was also the draw of the contrast of black lace on alabaster, and the woman's lithe yet supple curves. Kara wanted to reach out and trace the tantalizing shape in front of her.
Right as Lena closed in on her, Kara darted to the side at the last moment, avoiding the other woman's grasp. Thinking she was victorious, she bolted to the surface by the dock. Ready to gloat upon resurfacing, the Kryptonian was confused when Lena didn't immediately appear next to her.
"Lena?" she called out, a little worried as she scanned the waters around her. "Where'd you g-!"
A pair of hands had suddenly pulled her from behind, spinning her around. Kara suddenly found herself flush against the dock post. A very smug-looking Lena had her wrists pinned above her head.
"Gotcha," the brunette teased.
Kara let out a half-chuckle, half-groan as they locked eyes. Emerald orbs gazed indulgently over her body as Lena bit her lip. The Kryptonian's desire kicked into overdrive, using a little super strength and Lena's moment of distraction to flip their positions. Now Kara had the brunette against the post. The Nodei looked surprised and, if possible, even more turned on.
"Do you want this as much as I do right now?" The blonde husked in Lena's ear.
"God, yes," the Nodei breathed, adding, "but I'm scratching your itch first."
Then her mouth was on Kara's. As they kissed hungrily, the brunette effortlessly hoisted the two of them onto the dock, which hung low over the water. She pushed the blonde onto her back, breaking the kiss as she hovered over her. Kara's fingers were already working at the clasp of Lena's bra, slipping the straps off her shoulders and revealing the Nodei's breasts. The Kryptonian's bra followed suit, then both women wasted no time in slipping off each other's underwear.
Lena dragged her nails lightly down Kara's sides, eliciting a pleasant shiver from the woman as she admired her body. Tracing downward until grazing the blonde's hip bones, the Nodei took her time sliding her palms back up to attend to Kara's breasts. Her lips worked their way along the Kryptonian's neck until the other woman pulled her back up for a kiss. Their tongues intertwined, Kara cupping Lena's face with one hand while the other traced up and down her back. Both women relished the feeling of skin on skin, but the Nodei was eager to taste Kara.
Lena descended, trailing open kisses along the Kryptonian's breasts, stomach, then her thighs. She gently tugged Kara so she was laying at the edge of the dock, then Lena sank into the bay, treading to keep her waist above water in the perfect position. Sensing Kara squirming in anticipation, she drew out her foreplay just a few beats longer before moving to where the other woman needed her most.
Kara's breath quickened at the first contact, head rolling back as Lena's eager tongue began exploring her. She was soft and languid at first, then became emboldened as she dipped into the blonde's entrance.
"Rao…"
Kara gasped as red lips curved up. She tangled her hands in Lena's black locks. The Nodei hummed appreciatively against her sex, resulting in vibrations that made the Kryptonian shiver. The Nodei was committing to memory the moves that drove her wild, attending to every inch of her core. A jerk of the hips in response to staccato licks. Toes curling when she made broad swirls, teasing just below her clit. Kara's taste, the sensation of her silky folds against Lena's mouth, her sweetest spots: all secrets the brunette had been waiting to discover. Judging by the content sighs, the blonde had been anticipating this moment, too.
Lena dragged her tongue upwards along with her gaze. The Kryptonian looked back at her through half-lidded orbs, her lips parted in desire. The two locked eyes as she started sucking on Kara's clit.
"Baby…right th–unhhh…"
The brunette made circles around the bundle of nerves. Sweat began to form on Kara's back as she gripped the dock, wood creaking under the pressure of her super strength. Lena swayed slightly in the water, making small waves that lapped at the shore in a gentle percussion. Kara began reflexively raising her hips to meet Lena's tongue, creating a delicious friction with each stroke. It didn't take long before the two developed a rhythm, punctuated by breathy rasps and gasping expletives. The Kyprtonian removed one hand from the dock to intertwine their fingers. A small gesture, but one that made the Nodei swoon. With her free hand, Lena reached up to massage her breasts.
One second Kara was arching into Lena's wanting mouth, about to lose it then and there, the next brunette lessened the pressure to bring her back down. Observant and bold, the Nodei maneuvered expertly, wanting the intensity to be just right as she took her Kryptonian on a luxurious ascension to climax. Meanwhile, Lena became increasingly aware of her own arousal pooling between her legs. Despite being half-submerged in the bay, she knew she was soaked. And Kara's moans were growing in volume, her body an instrument Lena could play to perfection. So the musician suddenly increased her tempo: tongue flicking double time, causing Kara to grind against her mouth in desperation. The Nodei slid her hand down from caressing Kara's nipple and plunged two fingers into the Kriptonian's center.
"Lena!" Kara moaned, throwing her head back and fully surrendering to the brunette.
Lena pushed deeper and deeper with each pump, flattening her tongue and delivering rough pressure on Kara's clit. The brunette was determined to elicit more irresistible noises from Kara, who was now rocking shamelessly into Lena's thrusts. Her hands clawed at the Nodei's back as she sought release. Lena was fully intoxicated by the whimpers, the taste of Kara's essence, and the addictive pleasure of velvet walls clenching around her fingers. With a frenzied stroke of her tongue, Lena sent Kara careening into orgasm. Her heart rate spiked watching Supergirl unravel under her, head lolling back in euphoria, muscles tensed. Lena swelled knowing she was the cause of this ecstacy, taking in the sight of the breathtaking woman riding out the final waves of pleasure. The Nodei calmed the pumping of her fingers before slowly pulling out.
In one movement Lena glided out of the water, fins phasing back into feet, and gently wrapped an arm around Kara as she collapsed onto the dock. Pale, slender fingers brushed errant bangs away from Kara's sweaty forehead, replacing them with light kisses. The Kryptonian took a few moments to catch her breath before she snuggled into Lena, tucked comfortably into her side and tracing lazy circles on her sternum. She studied the Nodei's face with an amazed expression. Dozens of splinters littered the side where Kara's super grip decimated the wood. Noticing this, the blonde brushed off some of the debris.
"I didn't even hear it break," Kara laughed, beaming, "did you?"
"Nope. I was a bit preoccupied." The Nodei smirked. The Kryptonian leaned over to capture Lena's lips in a long kiss. When she finally pulled away, she surveyed the cliffs.
"This place is fitting." Kara observed, chuckling lightly.
"What makes you say that?" Lena inquired in amusement, adjusting to properly face her.
"Well it's intimidating, for one thing. Pretty dangerous rocks and cliffs all around, like a fortress." Kara gestured around them. The brunette tried to fix her with a look, but the faint dimples forming at the corner of her mouth betrayed her. The blonde quite enjoyed Lena's signature raised chin and defiant smirk.
"But when you get past the frightening parts…"
"-it's a soft, tender lovefest on the inside?" Lena finished, rolling her eyes.
"Oh definitely not." Kara responded. Lena let out a hearty laugh at the Kryptonian's bluntness. The blonde giggled along, brushing her hand against Lena's as they looked out into the bay.
"More like jaggedly beautiful." A sideways glance from Lena prompted Kara to elaborate. "I mean as in strong, not for the faint of heart." She paused, trying to formulate her point, then turned towards Lena with conviction. "The cliffs have been eroded, they've weathered the elements, seen some shit, right? Because of that, they're now these brilliant colors, they have depth. Kind of a brooding vibe, because it's not for just anyone to stumble upon. But when you make it here, you earn it, you know you're safe."
Lena said nothing, but looked at Kara for a long moment, smiling peacefully. She leaned in, and what she intended as a chaste kiss soon turned passionate as the blonde took the reins. Soon the Kryptonian was moving down her body, tongue positioned above her slit. Before she made contact, however, she popped her head up to address her girlfriend.
"Hey, what was that saying? 'One, if by sea. Two, if by land'?"
The Nodei glanced down, slightly frustrated and confused by Kara's impromptu history lesson.
"Why is this important?" She sighed. This seemed to only encourage the blonde, who was now grinning.
"I'm pretty sure Revere was talking about orgasms."
Lena's laugh quickly turned into a moan as Kara used her super speed for a second purpose that day.
