19. A little competition doesn't hurt… Or does it?
It was a beautiful and warm night in Start City. Oliver and Kara were having dinner at a fine restaurant downtown. It was a small place and by the looks of it, only exclusive people ate there. Given the fact that Oliver was the Mayor, they had the best seats with the best view.
They were dating for a while now; Kara visited sometimes, helped his team, and spent a few nights in his place. She bonded well with his son, William as well and he adored her. Recently, the kid was spending his vacation with his grandmother from his mother' side, giving some privacy to Oliver and Kara. It was nice having some of it since they were always dealing with some crisis, surrounded by people all the time or unable to see each other for some reason.
Next to their table, there was a couple who could barely keep their hands to themselves. They were on the highest floor of the restaurant, the tables were far away from each other, but the couple wasn't acting that discreet and from where Kara was sat, she could see them pretty well. She was starting to feel uncomfortable by the end of their dinner. Oliver looked at her with a curious look in his eyes as he finished his drink.
- It's everything ok?
- Yes.
- You are blushing… What happened?
- Two people almost eating each other in public and there's no way I can avoid looking at them because they are right in front of me. – She smiled at him.
- What?
- Behind you… At that table…
Oliver slightly turned his head to see what Kara was talking about. He was taken by surprise, but not that much actually. He turned back to Kara, noticing she was blushing even more.
- They can't keep their hands off of each other – Oliver murmured – It's normal…
- Humans are funny… - Kara laughed as she looked at Oliver, trying to avoid the couple - They can't control themselves, it's funny.
- Well, sometimes people can't hold back… Sometimes the passion from the moment is greater than anything else… You know that very well, babe. – Oliver gave her a teasing smirk and a knowing look.
- We are usually alone, Ollie… - She adjusted her fake glasses, taking another sip of her drink.
- Kryptonians are not like that? – Oliver looked amused at Kara. – Impossible!
- We can control ourselves… Under any circumstances!
- I doubt it!
- It's true!
- So you are telling me you never lost it?
- Never. I have an amazing control – She looked proudly at him as she took one more sip of her drink.
Oliver leaned in the table, his face closer to her and he gave her his trademark smile.
- That's because you were never teased by me before – He blinked at her as Kara almost choked with her drink.
She put the glass on the table and looked at him.
- Please! I am the girl of steel, remember? If I focus, if I really put some effort on it, you would be the one losing your mind in seconds! You wouldn't even know what hit you.
- You forget I survived a lot of torture… I can handle this. And I bet I can prove you're wrong – He smiled at her, an idea coming to his mind.
- Are you challenging me, emerald archer? – She arched one eyebrow. If there was one thing Kara never backed down was from a challenge.
- You bet I am, girl of steel!
- Ok… And what the winner gets?
- A chance to have the loser doing whatever the winner wants.
- Hm… Interesting – She smiled, thinking of the possibilities. – If I win, you have to train for one week with Alex. – She smiled at the look in Oliver's eyes. He was badass but her sister was ten times better.
- I know I will win, so… - Oliver approached his face to hers - You will get to be Green Arrow for one day once I give you archery lessons. I can even let you wear my suit. – He gave her a small peck on her lips – I can't wait to see you on that.
- You are the one who won't be able to keep yourself together once I'm done with you – She gave him a knowing smile, something he never saw her do before.
They paid for the dinner and went back to the bunker. Kara gave him a goodbye kiss before opening the breach back to her Earth. They never defined anything else for their challenge, so Kara had in mind she could take him by surprise at any day now. It would a long and fun challenge, she thought as she crossed over to her Earth.
Oliver watched Kara disappear and turned around, smiling to himself.
.
Right after Felicity and Curtis dissolved their partnership, Felicity decided to give up the company Palmer Tech. Oliver after a long time, managed to buy it back and reopen Queen Consolidated. He hired a few people to help him there and rebuild his family company. It was a dream he had for a long time now. He chose Quentin to be the CEO and Laurel to help him with the paper work. Black Siren was also an attorney back on her Earth, before turning evil, so when he found out that information about her when she accepted try a different path in her life, he was surprised and touched by it. He scheduled a meeting so he could put some things in order before going to City Hall and the last thing he was expecting was to see Kara there. She was the first one to get there and entered the conference room with a huge smile on her face. She wore dark grey pants and a light blue sweater and carried a notepad with her, her hair tied up in a bun and her fake glasses on.
- What a surprise – Oliver smiled as he gave her a small peck on her lips. What are you doing here? Not that I'm not happy to see you… just curious – He said as the others started to arrive.
- I am a journalist, remember? – She blinked at him, sitting on a chair right by his side
Oliver looked suspicious at her but couldn't focus on that right now since everyone was starting to make a few questions, one of them: who Kara was.
- She is a reporter from National City…
- Also your girlfriend… - Laurel said as she smiled innocently
- Yes, also my girlfriend… But she is here to cover this meeting…
Kara smiled innocently at everyone. She started to write a few things on her notepad and her left hand rested on her lap. She made sure her chair was practically glued to Oliver's and gave him a tiny smile.
Oliver started talking to everyone, giving them his ideas and deciding who was going to be in charge of what, offering them the idea of a new boarding with new members and he made the mistake of turning his head slightly as he talked and looked at what Kara was writing.
- So I guess we…
The sentence: "I hope you meant it when you said you could handle things" was written on the notepad and Oliver gave a loud cough as he felt Kara's hands going through his leg under the table.
- Are you ok, Mr. Mayor? – One of the guys sat across him asked him.
- Yes, I am… - He nodded with his head and continued – So I guess we can schedule the voting for…
He almost jumped from his seat this time, but managed to disguise it well. Kara's hands were on his tights now and going up slowly, scratching his skin over his pants. There was nothing he could do to stop her or they would draw attention to themselves. Then, he remembered their challenge a week ago and cursed mentally.
- Oliver, are you sure you are ok? You are sweating… It might be the flu or something… - Kara said, looking innocently at him.
- You're right…It must be the flu… - He looked at her, telling her with his eyes there would be a payback - I will see a doctor later, I promise, but I am ok.
He wasn't expecting Kara to pull of something like this, at all. She was not joking when she told him she could make him lose it. But two could play this game. He took an imperceptible deep breath; trying to keep his cool while Kara kept driving him crazy. He had to use a lot of his inner strength and it was getting harder to focus on the meeting. Oliver lowered his head as he listened to one of the people there talking. He had no idea who was talking and couldn't care less.
Kara let him go and scratched her nose with her left hand, writing again. Oliver looked from the corner of his eye and saw the words: "This is just the beginning, but good job."
The meeting was finally over and Oliver thanked God for it. Everyone started to get up and leave and Oliver couldn't stand up right now, so he took Kara's notepad and started writing a few things there. Kara read the words: You bet it is!
Once they were all alone, Kara got up and blinked at him, leaving him alone on the room. Oliver rested his forehead on the table, taking deep breaths.
.
At the DEO, things were really messy. J'onn asked everyone to help him with something the president ordered. She needed some files from the time DEO started, way back when no one used computers to keep files. She needed a few files from some aliens and Kara knew exactly the place to look.
It was a medium size room, full with boxes and had a lot of dust there. It looked like people locked it and kept everything inside there forgotten. Kara was distracted looking at a few boxes on a huge table that looked more like a counter and its edge went a bit higher than her waist, when she felt someone behind her, holding her by her waist.
- I missed you – Oliver whispered to her ear, making her jump in scare.
- Oliver, you almost gave me a heart attack… - She turned around and smiled when she saw him.
- I wanted to surprise you
- It worked… Do you have the day off?
- I gave me the day off…
- Any particular reason? – She smiled as she put her hands on his shoulder.
- Yes. Someone owes me a big payback – He smiled as he kissed her neck.
- You picked up a really great time…
- Cause grabbing me in the middle of a meeting with the executives of my company was a great time huh? – He laughed.
- Guilty! But I'm impressed… You did great – She mocked him and suddenly held her breath as she felt his hand going under the skirt of her suit.
She looked at him not willing to give him the satisfaction of knowing he was right. And he wasn't. She was strong, even for this, she thought. She bit her lip, trying to look normally to him as she felt his fingers on her skin. This exact moment, the door opened. Oliver went behind the table. Kara turned around and saw Winn standing by the door.
Oliver took advantage of this to go under Kara's cape and sat on the ground, resting his back on the counter, reaching for Kara's legs and bringing her hips closer to him.
- Hey Winn!
- Are you busy?
- Yes… Yes… - She tried to say it without sounding weird. – I'm looking for that files J'onn asked. Do … Do you need anything?
- Just talk… But I can do that later…
- Its ok – She said as she leaned on the table, her arms on it as she supported her chin with one of her hands.
Winn started to talk about Lyra when Oliver slowly gave her his full attention. Rao, it was torture. But she was the girl of steel, she wouldn't back down, she thought. She focused on what Winn was telling her. Winn was thinking about asking Lyra to move in with him and asked Kara what she thought about it just when Oliver did something and she slapped the table, smiling at Winn.
- Excellent! – She said, noticing the small crack she did on the table.
- Oh…Ok… I'm glad you liked my idea this much.
- I really liked it, go for it Winn! – She kept her smiling supportive face on while Oliver created a unique sensation that she was sure it was going to make her scream if she was anywhere else and alone with him. She just kept smiling. – I really need to find those files…
- It's ok… I talk to you later… Thanks for the advice Kara.
Winn walked out and closed the door. Oliver got up, giving her a kiss on her mouth.
- My team is waiting for me; I see you later babe!
Kara took a few breaths before adjusting her skirt and looking at the boxes for the file she needed.
- Damn you, Queen!
.
Kara was bored at home after a long day of work at CatCo and a few savings she did earlier that day. She looked at her extrapolator and smiled to herself. She had no idea for how long they would be able to keep like that, teasing each other, trying to reach each other limits, but she knew one thing: she was determined to win. It also had brought something more to their relationship, a new rush… It was fun, she thought to herself. A week has passed since their last encounter and the only thing about all of this that bummed her, is that in order to win; neither could give in into each other. Kara took a deep breath and took her extrapolator, opening the breach to his Earth.
Oliver and Diggle spared on the bunker, both shirtless. They had wooden canes on their hands and tried to hit each other with it. Kara arrived through the breach just in time to see it.
- I'll never get used to this, man… - Diggle said as he dropped his canes and walked towards Kara – Hey Kara, what's up?
- Everything's great, and around here?
- It's a calm night…a miracle – Diggle laughed. – I'm going home man; Lyla needs me to take little John to the hospital…
- Is he ok? – Oliver asked as he also dropped his cane
- It's his allergies. He barely slept yesterday. See you guys! And behave! – Diggle joked as he put his shirt on and left the bunker.
Kara looked at Oliver's sweaty body and smiled. She loved shirtless Oliver and she never even tried to deny it. She looked to Oliver's face and took a few steps closer.
- Hey you!
- Hey! – Oliver grabbed her by the waist as they kissed.
- So were you training?
- I still am… Care to join me?
- I rather watch – She smiled as she walked to a chair and sat there. – Its quite a show. – She smiled suggestively at him and just like that, Oliver was suspicious of her.
Oliver found out with this little game of theirs that Kara was bolder than he ever imagined. This made him love her even more, he thought. There was never a regular moment with them; it was always full of surprises and thrilling. Oliver kept sparing, with the dummy this time around. He was serious and focused on his workout and lost in his own thoughts when he heard a small noise. He looked to see where it was from right when he was going to hit the dummy again and missed it, almost falling on the ground thanks to the vision in front of him.
Kara looked at him with so much passion in her eyes.
- Kara?
- Do go on! – She said.
- Are you… - Oliver couldn't bring himself to finish his sentence as the sight of her
- Your fault. – She smiled – Now I have to finish the job by myself… So please, go on. – She stopped and gave him a knowing smirk – Or am I distracting you?
Oliver looked at Kara, pressing his lips together so he wouldn't curse out loud and decided to keep with his work out. He turned his back to her and jumped the salmon ladder, going way high. She kept looking at him and smiling as he went back to training.
He wouldn't lose his mind over the sight of her. He kept quiet but couldn't take his eyes from her anymore. He wished nothing more to go there and help her, but he wasn't going to give her the satisfaction because he knew if he got closer to her right now, he would lose his mind and lose their bet. He kept going up and down the salmon ladder, trying to block her sounds from his ears, but it was impossible now. He could tell she was coming right in front of him and took a few breaths, focusing on his task. Once he got back to the floor, he was dripping sweat now. Kara got up and adjusted her clothes back on.
- Thank you for the show – She smiled as one of her fingers reached for his lips. He gave a small lick on it and looked at her, his eyes full of desire for her. She turned around, smiling to herself – I see you at your place.
.
Kara finally had a desk on CatCo since Snapper Carr became her boss. She was really proud of herself and happy to accomplish what she wanted for a long time: earn respect from others as a serious journalist. Her desk was in a corner, near a window. She had a wall behind her and felt a bit excluded from the others from the media section, but she was happy with her table anyways. She was working on a new piece about LCorp when a notification of a new message popped up on the screen of her notebook. It was from Oliver. It has been a few days since they saw each other and she missed him like hell. She missed actually being with him, but their quick moments of cuddling while watching a movie or kissing in her apartment eased the ache in her chest. She smiled as she opened the message. It said he was thinking about her, and a video annexed to it. She opened the video, thinking about how sweet Oliver was when she suddenly jumped from her chair, looking around scared and blushing really hard, making sure no one could see the video but her. She quickly grabbed her earphones and plugged them on the notebook.
She looked at the screen, her heart racing like hell. It was Oliver's room; it looked like he was filming himself on his cell phone. She saw him look at the camera and smile.
She loved that smile.
- I know how much you enjoyed last weekend's show, so I thought about giving you another…
She covered her mouth with her both hands, not believing what she was watching. Once the shock was over, she couldn't take her eyes from the screen. She noticed Oliver wasn't going to accept lost, neither was she. She felt like she was hypnotized, watching her boyfriend like that.
She looked around, searching for something to fan her face.
- It's really hot out of sudden… - She murmured as she kept looking at the video.
- Kara, ready for lunch? – James asked near her table, making Kara jump once again and close her notebook.
- Sure… Just give me a minute. I need my purse – She smiled awkwardly at him, as she looked for her purse, putting her notebook inside of it and adjusting her fake glasses.
.
Oliver was beaten up, at least feeling like it. It was a hard night to pursuit criminals; he ended up bruised and bleeding. After stitching himself, he decided to go home and take a nice and relaxing shower. He needed it so badly.
Once home, he went straight to his shower. His son was still at his grandmother, so he had the place all to himself. He thought about Kara and how much he missed her. He never again heard of her since he sent her that video and wondered if he went too far. He also thought things on her Earth must be hard right now. She used to go days without talking to him when she was busy in a life or death situation. He just hoped it wasn't anything that serious and that she was ok.
He turned the hot water on and went under it, his hands going through his hair as he let the water drop all over his face. He turned around, letting the water fall on the back of his neck as he held on the wall for support.
A pair of tiny hands hugged him from behind and Oliver looked back, just to see Kara fully naked and looking at him.
- I know it has been too long… But it was on purpose – She laughed as she kissed his shoulders.
- You scared me… But I'm glad you're here. I was worried.
- I'm fine… I just needed to give you some time – Her hands went all over his back, tracing his scars.
- For what?
- Payback!
He lifted his head and was about to turn around when he heard Kara's voice near his ear.
- Don't move. – She ordered him – If you do anything, you will lose. And I can't wait for it to happen, but I'm warning you because I like fair play.
- This is far away from being fair – He whispered as she grabbed the soap and spread the lather through his back.
Her hands went for his butt and she playfully squeezed it.
- Kara…
- What? I'm helping you… Are you strong enough to deal with it?
Oliver took a deep breath, lowering his head again as he felt Kara's lips to his shoulders and gave him a few kisses and bites, while her hands worked her magic with him. Oliver tried his best to stay still and not give in, but it was so damn hard.
- Now you're all clean – She gave him another kiss on his shoulder – We have that party to go today right? I meet you here later. – She smiled at him and vanished
After a long cold shower, Oliver was dressed up and ready to go to the party. For some reason, Kara texted him, letting him know she would meet him at the museum.
Once there, Oliver saw Kara from the distance and almost lost his balance. She had a stunning dark green dress on that showed her toned legs from the tights down, it had a round neck and she had a bare back. She wore black heels, medium high and her hair up in a bun with a few strands of hair falling down her face. She approached him and gave him a small kiss on his lips. He kissed her back, deepening the kiss a bit but she pushed a bit away. He looked confused at her and she approached her lips to his ear.
- I have nothing underneath this dress… Just so you know it – She blinked at him and turned around – Let's get a drink.
She got a club soda and Oliver got a whisky. He needed something strong tonight.
He talked to a few people on the party and later, Kara reached for his hand, inviting him to dance. He hated dancing, but it was a slow dance, he wasn't going to let her be disappointed.
- So… I can't stop thinking about you, you know?
- How's that? Already losing it? – He smiled widely at her.
- Not losing it… Just missing our moments… Like our shower from this morning. – I bet you loved it.
She smiled as he kept quiet. They were dancing at a not so crowded place on purpose.
- Are you really wearing nothing underneath the dress?
- Exactly! – She smiled noticing the look in his face.
That was going to be a long night.
.
Oliver had to go after a criminal in Star City while Diggle took care of another issue near the Star City bank. He was shorthanded on his team and to complete his luck, Felicity was sick and couldn't help them. That is why he asked Kara to help them. Kara was on the bunker, watching the satellite images and eating her favorite ice cream she found on the market on her way to the bunker. It was a craving she was having for a while now, so she could have a lot of ice creams per day. Oliver was used to her eating habits; it never even scared him anymore.
- Be careful, the guy is not far away from you… just turn left.
- Thanks babe! – Oliver said in his comms as he ran towards the guy, ready to beat the crap out of him.
- Hummm… - Kara murmured, making Oliver curious.
- What happened?
- So delicious… - She murmured as she licked more of her ice cream.
She was really enjoying it but she knew there was no need for her to express out loud how much she was enjoying it. She smiled to herself as she heard Olive cough on the comm.
Oliver could hear her and suddenly he had a clear image of Kara like that and lost his focus for a moment, earning a punch from the guy he was after.
Oliver shook his head and turned his attention to the guy, grabbing him by the collar and beating the crap out of him until the guy fainted.
Oliver got back in the bunker, Diggle was not back yet. He looked at Kara and saw her humming and licking her fingers. She opened her eyes and looked scared at Oliver. He had a cut on the corner of his lips. She rushed to help him take care of it.
- I'm sorry… - She said as she cleaned his wound up.
- You distracted me… But I managed to take him down anyways.
- I'm glad nothing serious happened to you… I'm really sorry… I wasn't supposed to be this distracted. – She gave him a small kiss on the corner of his lips.
- That's ok, babe… You didn't mean it…But… You just wait – He gave her a knowing smile and kissed her on her lips.
Later that night, Kara slept peacefully at Oliver's bed. It was really late and she wasn't feeling like going back to her Earth when she could spend more time with her boyfriend. Oliver couldn't sleep. He looked at Kara, watching her and slightly caressing her face.
It was a fun thing happening between them but it became a real torture, way worse than he expected. Each time she teased him he wanted just to drop everything and take her right away. He still wasn't up for backing down but he was determined to make her accept once and for all she couldn't resist him. And it was going to happen!
Oliver brought his lips to her neck, kissing her slowly as he caressed her cheeks with his fingers.
- Babe? – He whispered to her ear and saw her murmuring something as she was half asleep half awake.
Oliver's hand went slowly to the buttons of her pajamas, opening one by one and kissing the skin it revealed. Kara opened her eyes, still sleepy and caressed his neck, smiling as she felt his kisses. He fully opened her pajamas top and she took it off, throwing it away and lying back on the bed, Oliver lying on top of her, his lips brushing over her lips, down her neck and getting lower.
Oliver was indeed talented, she thought. It was almost unfair to compete with him. He was making a real mess out of her, and she was starting to care less and less about their game.
Screw it, she thought.
Kara gave him a deep needing kiss, her tongue exploring his mouth.
- Tell me…
- What? – She looked at him.
- You can't resist me. – He smiled as he stopped his hand near her tights.
- Oliver…
- Tell me, and you can have it all –He kissed his neck while whispering near her ear.
- I can't… - She started as his fingers caressed her skin – I can't resist you ok? I want to jump you right now …
- Now we're talking – Oliver advanced towards her, kissing her roughly.
Kara crawled back in bed and Oliver followed her, kissing her.
- Right now I just want you.
- Me too.
- I love you – They said at the same time, laughing after it and kissing again.
They had a lot to catch up, but this game was so worth it.
The next day, Oliver waited for Kara at the bunker with his suit on his hand. Once she came in, he handed it over to her.
- Are you really going to make me wear this?
- Yes. You lost! – He smiled as he hugged her by the waist.
Kara took the suit and went to put it on. Once she was back, Diggle and Thea came in, looking confused with that scene.
- What is happening? – Thea asked, laughing at the view of Kara in Oliver' suit.
- This is huge in me; I can swim inside of here… - Kara joked.
- We had a bet, she lost it… - Oliver looked knowingly at Kara that blushed, but was glad no one could see because the hood covered almost all of her face. – Now let's get to your archery lessons.
- Why? – Diggle looked at Kara and Oliver, trying to understand everything.
- She is the Green Arrow for today.
