Chapter Four: I'm Yours

Lena's POV

The words came before I could stop them. "Come home with me tonight."

"What?"

She heard me. I can't backtrack now. "After you're done with work, meet me here. We can grab food if you'd like. I've come to learn how hungry you get." That was a terrible attempt at playfulness.

"Pizza?" A nervous smile made its way to the reporter's face.

"Pizza sounds good," I chuckled.

"Alright," she smiled sheepishly. "I should be off by seven or eight."

"I'll actually be home by a decent hour for once."

A genuine laugh escaped the blonde. "Now that dinner is settled, I really need to figure out this article. I have an important dinner I want to make," she grinned. "Otherwise, Miss Grant won't let me leave before ten or eleven when she leaves."

What is this feeling in my chest? Warmth, maybe? All I know is, I want to hear her laugh again. "I would say so. I want the donations to stay anonymous. I don't want credit for them."

"Hence why they're anonymous," Kara added.

"Exactly." I thought for a moment. Do I really want to open myself up like this? Tell the world a story that I've not told anyone before? All for her. "Would Cat be interested in my college degrees and what I do in my free time? I've never given any type of interview before so I'm not sure what people would find interesting."

"Anything, really. No one knows anything about you as a person," She paused. "Besides the fact that you've taken over the family company and what happened with your brother. That's all people know about you. The only personal adjacent stuff they know is what came out during the trial."

"Ah, there's a lot missing." I paused, wondering where to begin. "I have two Masters degrees. One in business and one in engineering. If I'm not at the office or tinkering with something in the lab, I'm reading. The entire reason I have a two bedroom apartment is because I wanted a library of my own."

"You have a library in your apartment?" Kara's eyes lit with wonder. All I did was nod. "Can I see it?"

"If you would like." She's so excited about books. Maybe this could turn into something more than sex.

Over the next hour, I told Kara about myself and my life. Nothing too damning but it would definitely get everyone's attention. It felt good to be open with someone again. I hadn't done it since I lived in Metropolis.

"I think we're good for now." Kara closed her notebook. "Everything you told me is okay to put in the article? Obviously, I'm leaving out the donations and what happened with your brother. The only time I'd want to mention him is when you take L-Corp higher than he ever did." The blonde smiled sheepishly. "You're definitely on your way to doing it."

"Yes," I paused. "You made a good career choice. You're an excellent reporter." I walked Kara to the door.

"Th-Thanks," she stammered. A light blush tinting her cheeks. "How do you know I'm a good reporter? Do you actually read CatCo?"

"Normally, I stay away from media gossip. However, recently, I've found a sudden interest in CatCo Magazine." Kara's blush turned a deeper shade of red as I tucked a stray hair behind her ear. "I've always had respect for Cat Grant. There aren't many female CEOs out there. She's never taken a cheap shot at me just to sell an issue."

"Miss Grant is a role model for women everywhere."

"She is." After saying our goodbyes, Kara left and I went back to work.

I hadn't realized the time until my phone buzzed. Recognizing the number, I read the text message.

Almost done here. I should be there by 7:45ish. Should I meet you at your office or outside the building? -K

At my office. My car is on the private parking deck. -L

I'll let you know when I'm on my way. -K

By the time I was finished with work and shut everything down, Kara let me know she was on her way. Sliding into my coat, I heard a light knock. "Come in."

Smiling, Kara popped her head in. "Hey."

"Hi." Locking up, I motioned towards the private elevator. "I placed a pizza order to be delivered about ten to fifteen minutes after we get to my apartment."

"Great." The ride to my apartment was filled with nervous energy. I hated every second of it.

Pushing open the door, I allowed Kara entrance. "Wow…" Her voice trailed as she looked around my apartment. "This place is incredible."

"Thank you. Later on, I'll show you around." I've never let anyone come home with me. I've not been with anyone since I came to National City. I don't like feeling vulnerable. "Kara, I-," My eyes fluttered shut as Kara laced her fingers in my hair and kissed me. It was gentle, slow, and I didn't want it to end. Wrapping my arms around her waist, I pulled the blonde fully against me.

Leaning back, Kara started to panic. "Oh, my gosh. I am so sorry! I just…" When my grip only tightened, she started to calm. "I shouldn't have kissed you without-,"

"It's okay." Tucking a strand of hair behind Kara's ear, I nearly growled hearing the delivery person knock. "Be right back."

"Okay," Kara breathed.

After signing the receipt, I took the pizza and tried not to shut the door too hard. Placing the box on the table, I rejoined the dazed reporter. "Hey," I whispered.

"Can I do that again?"

"Do what? Kiss me?" Kara nodded, a light pink tinting her cheeks. "I'd like that." Cautiously, she tangled her fingers in my hair and kissed me slowly. She really likes having her hands in my hair. Maybe I should wear it down more often.

Suddenly, a loud grumble came from the woman's stomach. "Oh, gosh," Kara laughed. She hid her face in my neck. "I am so embarrassed."

"You're hungry. That's nothing to be embarrassed about. The pepperoni smells delicious." Thank God that nervous tension is gone. "Let's eat. We can talk or watch a movie? Whichever you prefer."

"Okay."

Kara's POV

There's something different between us. Lena's opening up. She was okay with me kissing her. It's more gentle now. Not just sex. This seems like the real Lena Luthor. Or close to the real her.

"Here." Holding out a plate, Lena took down two glasses. "What would you like to drink?"

"Thanks." Taking the plate, I got us each a napkin. "Do you have any sodas by chance?"

"I do. I have Dr. Pepper, a black cherry sparkling water, or Mountain Dew."

"Hmm." I tapped my chin. "Black cherry. Living room or table?"

"Couch is fine. Would you like it over ice or in the can?"

"Can is fine since it's been in the fridge. Can I take your plate over?"

"Sure." Lena gave me her plate. "I'll bring your drink."

Getting comfortable, we began to eat. "Why me?" Lena's brow rose. "You could have any woman you want but you chose me. You realized I was attracted to you and we…" My voice trailed. "You let me see little parts of you but then you lash out."

"I'm sorry for what I said earlier." Placing her food on the coffee table, Lena turned to face me. "Having sex with you isn't a power play. I'm not used to being seen or feeling vulnerable so I lashed out. I should have apologized earlier."

"Why did you want to see me again?" By now, the food was long forgotten by both of us.

"Because of how you look at me. Like you said, you see past the Luthor mask. Most people are scared of me. You're not. After the first time in my office and you asked to reciprocate, something happened. You didn't see a Luthor. You saw the person I've been hiding for years. The next week, I panicked when you kissed and touched me so gently. I was about to ask you back inside when you flew off."

She's telling the truth. Her eyes are stormy and vulnerable. They're so beautiful. "Why did you panic?"

"Because I haven't been touched like that since college," Lena paused. "Since before the accident."

"Is that why you wanted the interview? To see me again?"

"It was but not in the way you might be thinking. When I left for those two weeks, I felt like something was off. Missing even. I wanted to get back to National City as soon as possible."

"Is that why you flew in during the day?" Lena nodded. She's been so open. I should be too. "I was glad to find out you had left town for business. I thought you were done with me." I fidgeted with my sleeve. "I know we're not dating but it hurt not hearing from you."

"I didn't have a safe way to contact you. I also wasn't sure if I should. I was pleasantly surprised when you brought lunch." Biting my lip, I looked away. "What's that look for?"

"I used lunch as an excuse to see you. I heard your stomach growl." Pulling a pillow against me, I continued. "I missed you while you were gone." Should I tell her what Miss Grant said about how I've changed?

"I think I did too." Lena's voice was soft. "I was going to let you reciprocate. My plan changed when you opened the panel in my shirt."

"I still want to." Green eyes met mine. "As long as the kryptonite is covered, it doesn't cause me pain. I want to make you feel the way you make me feel. I'm not dominant but I want to have that connection with you." I want to do the things I've fantasized about for weeks.

Taking the pillow from me, Lena moved closer. "Even knowing about my past, my heart, you still want to sleep with me. Why?"

"Because you're good for me and I think I'm good for you too."

"I think you're right about that." Cupping my face, Lena caressed my cheek with her thumb. "Do you want to go to bed or stay out here? I'm okay with either."

In the blink of an eye, all the food had been put away. "I want to go to bed."

In shock, the brunette looked around and saw no trace of food. "You can clean your whole apartment in the blink of an eye and people think I'm evil?" Turning her attention to me, Lena smirked. "That's just not fair."

I laughed nervously. "I get that a lot."

Taking my hand, Lena led me into her bedroom. Capturing me in a slow kiss, she ran her hands up my sides under my shirt. I sighed feeling Lena kiss down my neck. Meeting my gaze, Lena's hands stilled. "Are you sure about this?"

"I'm sure." Sliding my thumbs into the waistband of Lena's pants, I bit my lip. "Now, please, get me out of these clothes. So I can do the same to you."

A dark brow rose as a grin tugged at dark lips. "Alright then." Pulling my shirt over my head, the CEO's eyes began to darken. "Lace? My, my." Dipping her head, Lena kissed my collar bone as she undid my pants. Kicking them and my underwear off, I unbuttoned Lena's trousers. Pushing them down, I surprised us both by picking up the brunette. "Oh," Lena chuckled.

Gently, I laid Lena back and straddled her hips. I don't know what I want to do first. She makes me feel so amazing and I want her to feel that way too. "I'm a little nervous."

Closing her eyes for a moment, Lena sighed. "I am too." Reaching up, Lena laced a finger between the cups of my bra. "Don't think too much but definitely start with a kiss like earlier."

Something has definitely changed in her. Leaning down, I captured the woman's lips in a passionate kiss. As I kissed down the column of her throat, I could hear Lena's pulse quicken. "Can I…leave a mark?" My hands stopped at the buttons of Lena's shirt.

"As long as it can be covered by clothing." A gentle hand tangled in my hair. "It's safe to unbutton. I have a tank top on."

With each button, I kissed the newly exposed skin. Leaning back on my knees, I pushed the shirt down Lena's arms and tossed it on the floor. I desperately want to kiss her cleavage. Hooking my finger in the neckline, I pulled down gently.

"Kara." A steady hand stilled mine.

Looking up, I smiled. "I'll be careful." Nodding, Lena watched as I kissed between her breasts. Reaching back, I unclasped my bra and tossed it aside. Moving down, I kissed Lena's stomach and felt the muscles quiver as I ran the tip of my tongue upward.

"Naughty," Lean breathed. Tangling a hand in my hair, her hips bucked as she made room for me. "Kara?" Meeting tender green eyes, I gave the brunette my full attention. "No pressure to do anything you're not ready for."

Nodding, I kissed my way back up the woman's body. Taking a page from Lena's book, I whispered against her ear. "I want to taste you but I also want to see the look on your face. Like you did with me."

Shuddering, Lena turned her face to kiss me. Hands tangled in my hair as one of my hands moved downward between creamy thighs. "Touch me." I moaned, feeling liquid heat against my fingertips. A soft gasp filled the room as I entered Lena for the first time. "Slowly." As instructed, I began a slow rhythm. Head thrown back, Lena moved her hips against me. "Fuck." Another soft moan. "Kara…" Dipping my head, I kissed and nipped any skin I could reach. Feeling her begin to tremble, I kept a steady pace. Shifting, Lena placed one foot on the bed to give her better thrust. "Right there…" She breathed.

Rao. She's so beautiful. Just hearing and feeling her has me teetering on the edge. "What do you need?"

"You're mouth on me." Carefully, Lena lifted her tank top and pushed aside one bra cup to reveal a hardened nipple. I moaned knowing exactly what she wanted. Dipping my head, I took the hardened nipple into my mouth and sucked. "Fuck, yes." Lena arched, making sure the Kryptonite side of her chest stayed covered. Running my teeth over the nub caused a throaty groan to fill the room. "If you wanted to see my face…" Lena bucked. "You better look…" Arching off the bed, Lena's entire body spasmed.

When she stilled, I retracted my fingers. Meeting the woman's gaze, I cleaned the digits. "I got to do both."

A fire lit behind green eyes as the brunette flipped us. Finding myself on my back, hands pinned above my head, with Lena straddling my naked body excited me to no end. "You really aren't all that innocent. We're not in my office so you can be as loud as you'd like."

"I'm yours." Oh, gosh. I said that out loud. Nothing changed in Lena's eyes. It didn't phase her. Stop thinking, Kara. My eyes fluttered shut as hungry lips found mine. The second I felt Lena's tongue, my lips parted. A strong hand roamed my body and I loved it. I shivered feeling lips move down my chest to my breasts.

My back arched, feeling warmth around a nipple and a pinch on the other. Moaning, I squirmed and wrapped my legs around Lena begging for friction. "In due time," she purred. Gently raking teeth over the sensitive nub before switching to the other. "I do enjoy having you like this."

"N-Naked?"

Meeting my gaze, Lena grinned. "In my bed." She paused. "Naked too." Continuing down my body, Lena left her marks. When she arrived at my hips, she nipped each one before taking a slow lick between my folds.

Gasping, I bent a headboard bar. "I am so sorry…"

"Worth it," Lena chuckled darkly. "So worth it." The deeper Lena's tongue went the louder I moaned. Putting my legs over her shoulders, Lena pulled me closer to gain better access.

"Lena…. I…won't…" I'm about to explode. Oh gosh. Fisting the sheets, I whined. "Please…" Ignoring my pleas, the brunette sucked my pearl. Turning her head, she kissed and nipped my inner thighs. She loves using her teeth and so do I but she's killing me.

"I think I've teased long enough, don't you?" She purred.

"Yes," I groaned. Without a word, Lena entered me again. Holding nothing back, she made me see stars I've not seen in years.
