Kara's POV

Lena's heart began to thunder. Leaning back, I studied the brunette. "Our bed?"

Choosing her words, the CEO fought the instinct to hide behind her walls. "I would be lying if I hadn't thought of us sharing this apartment."

"You have?"

"Yes," Lena nodded. "I've meant to ask you when your lease is up for renewal." Hooking her fingers into my lounging pants pockets, she continued. "I'd like it if you'd move in. We can sell this condo and find one together or we can convert the spare bedroom into your room." She continued before I could protest. "We all need our own space. You can sleep in our bed as often as you'd like but I want you to have a space of your own."

"I want to keep this place. We kind of picked it out together," I smiled.

"True," Lena chuckled. "I asked for your help when I stopped living out of L-Corp."

"My lease is up in June. I have to let the landlord know I'm leaving in May." I searched bright green eyes. "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure," Lena paused. "Before moving to National City, I told Jack that I could be the Luthor that shared her home with a Kryptonian." Dark brows rose. "I didn't know then how literal that statement would become."

"Then it's settled." Giddiness made my body start to buzz. "I can start moving things in slowly over the next few months."

"We can talk more about it tomorrow. Tonight though," Lena purred, "less talking. More you moaning for release." Running a hand up my side, nails raked down my side.

I shivered. "Yes, Miss Luthor." Standing with grace, Lena carried me towards the bedroom as she kissed me.

Laying me down, she broke the kiss long enough to nip my earlobe. "I love hearing that whimper." Dipping her head, Lena kissed my neck as she untied my pants.

Feeling agile fingers teasing between my thighs, I squirmed. "Lena," I breathed. Shifting, I kicked the pants off and tangled my hands in dark locks.

Minutes of excruciating teasing later, all clothing was tossed to the floor and a brunette goddess hovered above me. "I love you." I whispered, cupping the woman's cheek.

"I love you too." Shifting, Lena captured my lips with hers. I moaned as the CEO kissed and nipped her way down to my chest. Tangling my hands in the sheets, my back arched as a warm mouth closed around my nipple. "As much as you complain, I know you love when I tease," Lena chuckled.

"I plead the fifth." I whined, needing friction. I groaned feeling two digits push into me. Finding a rhythm, my hips bucked against each thrust.

"Not too fast," Lena purred as she made her way lower. "I don't want you to release until I get a taste."

I moaned, feeling the tip of Lena's tongue flick against my clit. "Fuck…" Beginning to tremble, I fought the urge to dive into the blissful orgasm that beckoned my name. "Lena…I can't…"

"Release." A final flick is all it took for me to topple over the edge. Lena didn't stop until I was a twitching mess beneath her. Kissing her way up my body, she made herself comfortable beside me. "So glad I don't have to worry about you snapping my neck between your thighs."

"What a way to go," I chuckled. "I wouldn't exactly complain going that way."

"Of course you wouldn't," Lena smirked.

Regaining some stability, I flipped us. "Your turn." Dipping my head, I kissed the woman's neck as my hand roamed Lena's body. Unable to pace myself, I got comfortable between milky thighs.

"You really don't want to-" Lena moaned as I ran my tongue between her folds.

"Nope. No time to waste." I left a quickly fading red spot on the inside of Lena's thigh. It won't last long but we both know it would have been there.

Tangling her hand in my hair, Lena tugged causing me to moan against her. "Right there…" Her voice was breathless. Shifting, the younger woman opened her thighs wider giving me better access. She's so close. Sliding two fingers inside, I continued to suck the bundle of nerves. "God…that feels so…" Grinding against me, Lena's grip tightened. The vibration from my moan pushed her over the edge into her own blissful climax. Arching off the bed, Lena slammed her fist into the mattress. "Fuck!" Becoming still, she petted my hair.

Crawling up the bed, I snuggled against the trembling woman. "Hi," I smiled, pulling up the comforter to cover us.

"Hi," she chuckled. "Sleep?"

"Sleep."

Before work, I stopped by the cafe Alex and I met at once a week for breakfast. "Someone's in a good mood today," Alex chuckled. "Good weekend?"

"Very good weekend," I smiled. "And some news…" I paused. "Lena asked me to move in with her when my lease is up."

"She what?" Alex exclaimed, nearly spewing her coffee. "Did you say yes? Of course you did. Details!"

"Keep your voice down," I laughed. Looking around, a few customers stared at us. "Obviously, I said yes. For now, I'll slowly move things into Lena's. In May, I'll give my landlord a 30 day notice. I should be moved in by June."

"Good Valentine's Day indeed," Alex grinned.

"How was your weekend? While I know you didn't have any company, I know you were on the phone quite a bit," I smirked knowingly.

"How did…of course," Alex murmured. "Was it Sam talking to Lena or Ruby talking to Lena?"

"Sam," I chuckled. "She and Lena talked Thursday when we postponed our trip."

"Oh, yeah. The Ireland trip," Alex took another bite of her sausage biscuit.

"Don't deflect," I smirked. "Details. I know how close you, Sam, and Ruby got when they were here." My brow twitched. "I also know how sad you were when they left."

"Busted," Alex looked away. A soft blush crept up my sister's neck. "We've been talking on the down low since they moved." Swirling the rest of her coffee, Alex bit the inside of her cheek. "I really like her, Kara. And I love Ruby. The day I watched her when my leg was healing was awesome. We had such a good time together."

"Scaring the crap out of her bully and dyed hair? Every pre-teen's dream." Holding my coffee cup, I smiled. "To The Danvers Sisters."

"And the women we care for." Alex tapped her cup against mine. "Any news from Linda?" I shook my head. "I still hate that we couldn't have an official game night with her."

"Yeah, I know." Emptying my mug, I asked for another. "We plan to visit them soon."

"Let me know when. I'm sure Nia, Brainy, and I can hold down the fort." Hearing a buzz, Alex picked up her phone. "Duty calls."

I snorted when Andrea's name popped up on my phone screen. "Ditto."

Finishing her biscuit, Alex emptied her second cup of coffee. "Sister night?"

"Yup." I did the same after placing a few bills on the table. "Have a good day." I waved at the employees and walked out with Alex.

"Lena! Kara!" We were nearly knocked backwards when Linda and Mikhail saw us. "You made it!"

"Hey," we answered.

"It's only been a few months." I stepped back to look Mikhail over. "You've grown!"

"A steady diet and strong bonds will do that for a young man." Mother smiled, hugging us both. "I'm glad you were able to make it."

"We are too," I smiled. "Oh, Lena was able to make more Harun-El." I motioned towards the briefcase by the CEO's foot.

"Tonight we will have to catch up." Linda placed a hand on the boy's shoulder. "Mikhail and I need to do our duties."

"See you soon." We watched as the two walked off and went their separate ways.

"How long can you stay?" Mother asked, studying us.

"A few days. Neither of us can be away from National City too long."

"Good. I've prepared a guest room for you." Mother smirked towards Lena. "With plenty of books."

"Maybe I can finally master Kryptonian," Lena eyed me. "A few hours every other week in the fortress isn't long enough." Mother chuckled. "Since Mikhail has been out and about, is it safe to assume he was changed as well?"

"Yes. While we normally don't use platinum kryptonite often, changing you and him seemed imperative for the Kryptonian race. Linda treats him like a son. Once I gained their trust, she told me more of what happened on Earth."

Guilt flashed across Lena's face. "We're lucky the part of her that broke from Kara was strong. Otherwise, things could have turned out differently."

"We are, yes." Mother paused, choosing her words. "Has your brother found out yet?"

"Yes. That's how we were able to catch him. He's currently in a place where he can't harm anyone."

"Good," Mother nodded. Glancing towards the sun, she continued. "Feel free to relax before dinner. I need to attend to a few things." She picked up the case. "Thank you for this."

"You're welcome," we answered.

Once Mother was gone, Lena and I decided to walk around the gardens. An odd sensation washed over me when I saw the gazebo we sat in last time. "I don't need superpowers to know your heart rate increased," Lena glanced at me. "Thinking about the last time we were here?"

"Yeah," I shrugged. Taking a seat beside the brunette, I bit my lip. "I was so scared that day. You were healed but then we found the cancer and were waiting to know about the platinum kryptonite." I leaned my head back. "The thought of losing you in nine months terrified me."

"I know." Lena placed her hand above my knee. "Thankfully, things worked out the way they were supposed to." Smiling, she wrapped an arm around me. "It's only been a few months since we came here but it feels like a lifetime ago."

"It really does," I breathed. "Are you happy with it?"

"I just asked you to move in with me," Lena chuckled. Realizing that wasn't what I needed, she continued. "Yes, I'm happy. I was falling for you from the start but I didn't realize it." Pausing, a chuckle vibrated up the woman's throat. "I was jealous of Alex before I found out she was your sister and I may have imagined stealing you away from Mon-El a time or two."

"I mean…same. When Jack came into town I was not a happy camper," I grinned. "I didn't want things to end like they did but I was jealous seeing you out to eat with him."

"I thought that was jealousy." Lena kissed my temple. "At least we're together now."

"A Luthor and a Super," I smiled.

While I helped in the kitchen, Lena and Linda snuck away into the small library my parents had in the guest room. "I'm glad you and Lena were able to visit," Father began.

I know that leading tone. "I am too. We wanted to come earlier but were unable because of things happening on Earth."

"Have the two of you become mates yet?" Mother asked, not looking up from the vegetables she was cutting.

"We have, yes." I continued before either could open their mouths. "Yes, I plan to ask for her hand in marriage in the Kryptonian tradition. Because we can't have all of our friends here, I thought of having two ceremonies. One here and one on Earth. From what I remember, the marriage rituals are similar. We come together in a special location, exchange vows and jewelry of some sort, and are blessed under Rao."

"Yes, but unlike on Earth, divorce isn't an option," Father paused. "Are you certain about this?"

Placing down my knife, I met my father's gaze. "Yes, I am sure."

With a smile, he nodded. "Good. From what your mother has told me, and the fact that The Council agreed, Lena seems like a very nice mate, woman, person," Father flailed.

"She is all of those things," I chuckled. "Even if divorce wasn't an option on Earth, my decision would be the same."

"Good." With that, my father left the kitchen.

"Where is he going?"

"To get something we had planned to give to you before Krypton's destruction."

A moment later, Father rejoined us. "I kept this in my laboratory so you wouldn't find it before you were ready." Holding out a small black box, Father continued. "When I was in the Phantom Zone, I thought of this often. I thank Rao that your Mother and I can give it to you. Present this to Lena when you're ready. It is the shade of color your marriage carries. No other Kryptonian may use it. The color is as unique as the bond you and Lena share."

Feeling a lump forming in my throat, I opened the box. On a velvet lined pillow of red, laid two turquoise shaded House of El pendants. "It's a mix of our colors," I murmured. "Blue and green." It's almost like it was fate for Lena and I to be together. "Thank you," I glanced at my parents. "I truly appreciate this."

"You're welcome," they answered.

"Once you're ready, you can come back and have a ceremony on Argo." Wrapping me in a strong embrace, Mother squeezed. "I'm so proud of you. Lena is a perfect match for you."

"She is." Stepping back, I looked at the pendants again. Now I need to figure out where to ask her.
