In His Arms

Inspired by Luke James "These Arms"

Themyscira

Princess Diana looked up to the beautiful clear sky as she took a stroll on her horse through the meadow. She smiled, closing her eyes and sighed lovingly thinking of her lover. She could never explain how she felt when Kal-El holds her but his warm, strong arms have become her fortress, her comfort. The feel of strong arms he snakes around her waist at unexpected times, the dizzying rush she gets when he intertwines their fingers, the caress of his thumb against her cheek as he kisses her so soundly she can't think straight. Watching his arms as they moved, the muscles rippling and flexing under the skin. She loved it when they moved against her, hands everywhere, leaving her gasping and pleading and short of breath.

"Diana? Diana, are you listening?"

"What? Oh..." she blinked snapping out of her daze and looked at her mother, Hippolyta. "Apologies, mother."

"Your mind seems to be quite far away." Hippolyta looked up at the sky. "As well as your heart."

Diana blushed.

"I have told you before of my experiences of love. I have yet to find the right words to describe what I have witnessed between you and Kal-El."

"I am overjoyed that you approve of him."

"Well...he has proven himself worthy of my daughter, putting his life on the line to protect our home. And shown true respect, honesty, and honor. However, Diana..." Hippolyta raised her brow. "I will not hesitate if any lines are crossed."

Diana laughed. "Oh, Mother! Rest assured, Kal-El is well aware. He is deathly afraid of your weapons, especially the axe."

"As long as he is aware..."

"Who's aware?" They heard a familiar voice question from above.

Diana smiled, flying up to him off her horse. She cupped his face with both of her hands.

"Hello, Love!"

"Hey, Beautiful," he said as he kissed her forehead.

They flew back down to Hippolyta.

"Good Afternoon, Your Highness," Kal bowed.

Hippolyta waved her hand slightly. "No need for formalities, Kal-El."

"Oh..." he ran a hand through his hair nervously. "Yes, ma'am."

"I will let you two have some time alone until our night's feast."

"We promise not to be late this time," Diana teased.

Hippolyta raised her brow. Her look making Kal more nervous causing Diana to laugh. Kal looked at Diana and he couldn't help but smile. When he hears her tinkling sound of a giggle, he swears he had never heard anything more beautiful.

Hippolyta shook her head. "Behave."

Diana giggled at she latched onto Kal's arm.

"Of course, Mother."

Diana and Kal watched as Hippolyta rode away back to the temples.

"Di..." Kal groaned.

She giggled again looking up at him and then pulled his head down and kissed him deeply. She snuggled into his embrace and let out a sigh of relief when he wrapped his arms around her and held her to him tightly. All her worries disappeared and troubles melted away. This is where she wanted to be for the rest of her life. In his arms and in his heart because that is where she felt the safest and she never wanted to lose that feeling.

"So what was it you and Hippolyta was talking about?"

"Who we were talking about was you."

"Me?"

She looked at him with a proud smile. "Yes, Love. I'm very happy, proud, and grateful my mother and sisters have opened up to you. I know that it still isn't easy and there's still few who are on edge but so much has change over the past 3 years for the better."

"I'm so glad you feel this way, Di. We have came such a long way and everything we've gone through has all been worth it."

When Kal had met Diana, they were young inexperienced heroes. Kal, a year of making Superman public and Diana, only 6 months of being in man's world. They were joined by other heroes forming the Justice League against the powerful Darkseid.

There was an instant and quite obvious attraction. Even with being on a team, sometimes, it seemed it was just them together. And that was the truth. They became closer over time, going on missions together as partners. But nothing more ever happened. For 5 years, both of them made this unspoken decision to bury their feelings and focus on their missions.

But as time passed, it was becoming more and more difficult for them to hide their feelings.

From their first kiss and first date to the first time they made love, Kal vowed to never hold anything back from Diana.

Looking at him with those gorgeous cerulean eyes, he thought the world was stopping. For a while before, he really thought he didn't deserve this. Even being Superman, Diana deserved more. But when he had thought of this, not only in the words she spoke but her eyes told him not to go down this road of doubt. She was his woman, and he was her man. Their future was each other, that was clearer than water, and nothing could change that.

They have shared the same dreams and goals. They were going right to their future together. Knowing everything about each other, the real absolute truth and never any secrets between them. They found in each other a lover and a best friend.

Diana leaned forward to him, and closed the small gap between their lips, kissing him deeply, sincerly and with all her love.

Kal loved this woman more than he could have ever imagined, and so did Diana love him. She finds her fingers entwined with his.

"Let's take Anax back to the stables, then we can go to the waterfall for a bit. Maybe even take a dip?"

He grinned. "Let's go."

Themyscira Grand Lagoon

Following a small path the two emerge to a secluded spot lush and green with sparkling clear water that ran in to a lagoon surrounded by trees. Cascading down the rocks was a gentle magnificent waterfall. The sun was visible over the edge, with the tip of the sun kissing the horizon. The rocks shone in different shades of brown, orange, pink, purple, and blue.

"It's so beautiful," she said in awe. "No matter how many times I've seen this, it still feels like the first."

Kal looked at her. He agreed the waterfall was beautiful but Diana...she was more beautiful than anything he had ever seen. He slowly lifted his hand and brushed a piece of hair out of her face. Then slowly, she turned to face him. Their faces came closer, slowly. Their noses brushed each other, and then he captured her lips with his. She kissed back before pulling away. Kal rested his forehead on hers. She smiled. He smiled back.

Diana tugged on Kal's shirt.

"Everything off," she said with a seductive smile.

Stepping back a bit, Kal took off his clothes as Diana watched him in immense pleasure. His sexy charming smile. A body sculpted to masculine perfection by Adonis.

"Do you need any help, Diana?"

She smirked. "No, Love. It's quite simple being just a little tie." She untied her gown, letting it fall to the ground. "Did you want to undress me, Kal?"

He was awestrucked staring at her gorgeous curvaceous body. Such smooth sunkissed skin.

"I do enjoy undressing you but I enjoy watching you, too." He wrapped his arm around her waist. "I will have my chance to undress you."

Diana smiled. "Yes, Darling...plenty of chances."

They dove into the water. Diana emerged a few seconds later brushing the wet hair that had made its way into her face. Kal a second afterwards, immediately pulling Diana to him to kiss as he gently as he could.

The two lovers swam around and lazily made out in the lagoon for over an hour until Diana led Kal to the middle of the falls to the large boulder and lent against it pulling him into her, the water splashing down around them. Kal leaned in one hand resting on Diana's waist and the other finding its way around her neck. His lips crashing down on hers as Diana's hands found the base of his neck as she played with the small hairs she found. Pressing her into the boulder, Kal wanted to get as close to her as possible to feel her close to him.

Letting their kiss linger a little longer, Kal finally took his lips away from Diana's and replaced them onto her neck, descending down to her breasts.

Diana giggled. "You can't help yourself."

"Nope..."

His hand squeezed hard around her breast as he sucked on her nipple, his teeth grazing it before his tongue made circles around it. A moan leaving Diana's mouth as her hands ran down and up his toned back her nails digging into his skin as she went. She slowly began to grind her lower extremity into Kal. A groan came from deep within his throat.

Diana whispering seductively words of love only had Kal groaning louder and he bucked himself up into her.

Diana moaned feeling his teeth scraping against her skin, she moved her hands from his neck and ran them over his chest, reveling in the feel of his skin and his hard muscles.

This softness. Gentle hands running over his skin, sending tingles all over, sparking a fire in the pit of his stomach. Kal wanted this, to feel her soft lips, her breath mingling with his own, the loving gaze reflecting in his own eyes.

Kal flashed her a smile, before connecting their lips in a soft passionate kiss. He can feel Diana's smile against his lips.

When their lips parted, Diana rested her head against Kal's heaving chest, listening to his heartbeat. With Kal's arms wrapped around her protectively, they basked in the rays of the fading sunshine. Together they watched the sun slowly disappear behind the cliff.

Later...

Diana and Kal happily walked into the temple where the feast was held.

"Ah, the Princess has finally joined us and she has brought her mate. How telling..." Fellow Amazon, Remka teased.

"Please, not another word..." Diana said blushing.

"She's glowing," another Amazon, Adila said with a smirk.

The Amazons giggled amongst themselves as Diana and Kal walked to sit with Hippolyta.

"Mother..."

Hippolyta raised her brow. "Well, although, your personal dealings are none of my business, you make it quite evident."

"I'm sorry, Hippolyta. I mean no disrespect."

"I see nothing wrong with a young love. As long as you respect my daughter, I can not oppose to this union."

"Of course! There's absolutely nothing to worry about. Everyday I'm trying my best to not only keep Diana happy but protect her as well. I know she can protect herself but, in my heart, it's my responsibility and I must protect her and all of you as well."

Diana kisses his cheek.

"You are a true man of honor, Kal-El," Hippolyta smiles proudly. "We shall now begin our feast!"

For a while, as they all conversed, a few Amazons listened to Kal as he talked about his upbringing in Smallville. They were even more impressed and fascinated by him. But they were even more facinated and curious about future intent with their Princess.

"So, Kryptonian? You will wed our Princess?"

"Will the Princess bare children?

Kal and Diana both gasped wide eyed.

"Well, Kryptonian?"

"Um...well...I..." Kal looked at Diana. "We...um...we haven't exactly had those kind of conversations yet. Though, to be honest the thoughts have crossed my mind."

"Oh, really?"

"And?"

"Diana deserves the best of the best has to offer. If she wants that step in life with me, I would be honored. And as I've said, I will do my damnedest to make sure Diana remains happy."

Diana held back her tears, though, she was full of overwhelming emotions hearing Kal. It was true. They hadn't actually talked about this yet but the thoughts have crossed her mind as well. To know that once again, they have this unspoken divine connection within their minds and hearts.

After a bit more conversing and eating as well as a few of the Amazons having a bit too much to drink, Diana and Kal decided to slip away.

"Good night, Mother," Diana whispered embracing Hippolyta.

"Good night, Dear."

"Good night, Your Highness."

Hippolyta raised her brow.

"I mean... Hippolyta," he laughed nervously.

Hippolyta smiled. "Good night, Kal-El."

Diana took Kal's hand intertwining fingers as they flew off to Diana's chambers.

Diana and Kal stood in the middle of her room. Diana moved her hand onto his cheek and touched it gently, staring into his eyes. Gods, how she loved to stare into his eyes. Windows to the soul and sexy pools of love and serenity.

She leaned in and kissed him softly. Kal tunneled his hands through her flawlessly silky hair, deepening the kiss. Diana parted her lips as he slid his tongue between them with fierce and unrestrained need. Diana moaned, feeling warmth spreading throughout her body, and arched into him. Oh how they loved the addictive taste of each other.

Consumed by her own fiery need to touch him, Diana roughly clawed the front of his shirt. They broke off the kiss, momentarily for Kal to take off his shirt.

Diana bit her lip. "Mmh... I never tire of seeing you shirtless and even more so completely unclothed."

She pulled him into yet another kiss. She moved in her tongue, loving the sensation of them just sharing a moment of passion. Every part of her tensing in lust, screaming for release. She felt like she was melting as he embraced her.

However, after what felt like all too soon, they broke apart again, panting slightly and just looking at each other.

Kal smirked as he untied Diana dress. He swallowed hard and nearly lost his breath at the sight of her. Diana teasingly started shrugging the dress down her shoulders until it pooled at her feet.

She grinned at the look on his face as he grabbed her by her waist, moving backwards to sit on the bed. He pulled her onto his lap with her knees properly resting on either side of his hips. Diana brought her hands to his face, tracing the contours of his strong features. He was such a handsome man... and he was all hers.

The soft touch of her lips on his neck made Kal shudder as she started grinding against the obvious bulge in his pants. He ran both hands up her back. Diana moaned appreciatively and arched into his touch as he began caressing her exposed flesh with his tongue, encouraging him to tease her with his soft lips. Kal needed no further encouragement and latched on, savoring and indulging in the sweetness of her skin.

Diana pushed Kal down onto the bed, straddling him and began making work of the drawstring of his pants, carelessly dropping them on the floor as she removed them. She teasingly stroked a specific part of his anatomy watching how his eyes rolled to the back of his head. It was torture, the good kind... if there was such a thing, so without warning Kal grabbed her sides and rolled her on her back.

"Kal!" she giggled.

Kal ran his hands down her nearly naked body, hooking his thumbs in the tiny scrap of lace and removed them. She moaned slightly in anticipation as his hand reached her hips, and started to caress every curve of her they could find. Kal's hand moved from her back, tracing around her thigh. He only became more aroused and she gasped as his hand brushed the warmth, silkiness and wetness of her core.

He ceased kissing her, and smiled moving his hand from out of her, causing her to moan at the motion.

He mumbled almost incoherently against her skin, kissing and nipping.

"Please, Love..."

He nodded, feathering kisses up her body; he hovered over her, kissing her deeply once more before he rocked into her, a gasp and a throaty, pleasure-filled moan escaping their lips. Kal wrapped her arms tightly around Diana's back, her fingers pressing against his back. He started to move his hips, each movement sending a shock of pleasure through her. They broke off the kiss and just smiled at each other.

Diana joined in, moving her hips in a rhythm to Kal's increasing the pleasure of the experience. Kal also started to moan, overtaken by their movements. Soon the entire room was filled with the sounds of their passion.

They moved in a steady rhythm that quickly turned frenzied and frantic; the overwhelming sensations of her body moving against his created an immediate and delicious friction.

Feeling a building pressure inside her core, Diana tightly gripped his hips, urging him to move faster and thrust deeper. She wanted to be driven to the brink of madness and take him with her.

Kal began slamming into her and with his encouragement, wrapping her long legs around his waist, lifting and rolling her hips, meeting his every hard thrust. The pressure intensified.

"GODS!" She arched and tilted her head back, gripping the sheets.

Diana fisted her hands in his hair, bringing him down for a fierce possessive kiss; her walls were beginning to tighten around him.

They were close. Everything just melted away with the release of them becoming one.

They held each other afterward, silently. Their skin is still damp. Cooling slowly with each breath. Steadier than the one before. The blankets are gone, lost to the floor and there's not a single pillow left either. Nothing but them. Bare skin and soft lazy kisses. A press of her mouth to his as she wiggles closer. Her blood is still buzzing, her body still tingling, shaking in aftershocks of everything he's just done to her.

The look Kal has in his eyes are so warm and sparkly. A smile spreads over Diana's lips as she stretches against him. Her ear over his heart, her body thrumming from the heat of him and his skin against hers. Diana scrapes her nails playfully over his chest, laughing softly when he groans out her name. They're both spent. But she kisses his skin, nips at his pecs. Just because she can.

And when her palm flattens, his fingers find it, curling around. Diana watches the way his fingers move over hers, the way they touch gently, she melts.

She loves him. Adores him. Absolutely and completely needs him. He's her constant. She stretches, presses her lips to the underside of his chin and then snuggles back down.

"Love," She has his attention, can feel it as she shifts her leg over him. "What are you thinking?"

"Hmm...that obvious?"

"Tell me."

"What I said earlier...I meant it. I didn't mean to make things awkward with your mother and sisters, though. But they do need to know the truth of how I feel about you and my intentions, they can trust. I just want you happy. I want to be that man for you."

"And you are, Kal. My sisters asking about marriage and children, while it may be too early for us to settle down just yet given our jobs, it made both of us realize we have been thinking and feeling the same thing. And what that means to me is that we are on the right path together. This is where I want to be." She kept her hand at the center of his chest. "Holding your heart close to mine; breathing every breath with you-"

"Next to you," he finished.

Diana leaned forward and brushed her lips against his.

"Yes. I love how we seem to just melt together."

Kal swept a few messy strands of hair from her face. "Your beautiful eyes," he began, "and your breathtaking smile...they're my strength, you know."

"They are?"

"You should know something, Diana," He starts. "You should know that my love for you is ever evolving and I fall more and more in love with you with each passing microsecond."

"Kal..." she blushed and smiled, slightly shaking her head.

"It's true..." He said softly and kisses the top of her head. "You've changed so much for me, Diana. Made me a better man seeing the world so much clearer with a much different...more open perspective. I'm grateful to have you in my arms. I'm not going anywhere and I'm not letting you go. I promise. I love you."

"I love you, too."

A demanding kiss followed.

Diana grinned mischievously running her palm down his chest and watched in amusement as his eyes opened wide from the playful squeeze she gave him.

"You didn't think we were finished, did you?"

"Not by a long shot," he responded with a smirk.

Short, sweet laughter tumbled from Diana's lips which Kal eagerly captured, pressing his mouth to hers, and traced her smile with his tongue. Diana's body quivered, as her mind went blank. She could only feel pure pleasure from the sensation of being wrapped in the arms of the man she loves as he made unadulterated passionate love to her.
