Caution to the Wind

Chapter 16

Chapter Summary: Things are going well for Tara and Emily, both romantically and professionally. But there's trouble brewing on the horizon. Follows S13E10-S13E13.

After what happened in Roswell, Emily managed to get the whole team a three-day weekend. The whole team would benefit from it, for sure, but she really did it for Tara. She wanted to spend all three days helping Tara unwind and feel good. Tara was already feeling a lot better just resting her head against Emily's shoulder on the plane ride home after catching another killer. Emily woke her up with a gentle kiss when they landed in Quantico, and they drove straight to Tara's house. Emily's car was still at the office, but it wasn't like she was going anywhere before Monday morning.

No, she was perfectly happy right where she was, straddling Tara's lap on the couch and kissing her hungrily as Tara's hands slid into the back pockets of her jeans. The only place she'd be going from here was up to the bedroom, where Tara's lips immediately found their way to the spot on her neck that made her go weak at the knees. She slid her hands under the hem of Tara's sweater, grazing over her torso and up to knead her breasts, causing Tara to gasp in her ear. Tara raised her arms to allow Emily to pull her sweater off, and it landed on the floor, followed soon after by her pants, socks, and bra.

"My gorgeous girl," Emily murmured, wrapping an arm around Tara's waist and kissing her neck, "Let me show you how much I love you."

She slipped her hand between Tara's legs and stroked her with feather-light touches. She felt Tara getting aroused through the thin fabric of her underwear, and slowly walked her over to the bed with their lips pressed together in a blazing kiss. She guided Tara down onto the mattress and knelt at the foot of the bed in front of her, taking Tara's underwear down with her in her descent. Tara's head was spinning at the sight of Emily on her knees, looking up through her long eyelashes, and Emily's tongue sent a surge of heat through her body. She moaned softly, which only spurred Emily on, and she drank in as much of Tara's decadent taste as she could get.

"Oh, Emily! Fuck, just like that," Tara moaned. She plunged one hand into Emily's hair while the other gripped the bedspread, and she panted wildly as her orgasm took hold of her. Emily's knees were starting to protest the position, but she kept going, dragging out Tara's orgasm as long as possible and licking her clean before easing her down gently with soft caresses and tender kisses to the insides of her thighs. She was already pretty wet herself, and wearing entirely too many clothes, but Tara would soon take care of both those things.

Tara helped Emily to her feet and kissed her, tasting herself on Emily's lips as her hands flew to that off-center belt buckle. Emily shrugged her blouse off her shoulders, wriggled out of her jeans, and kicked off her socks before climbing onto the bed with Tara, who quickly relieved her of her bra and underwear, too. Tara positioned herself behind Emily, pressing up against her back as she pushed silky black hair to one side so she could bury her face in the crook of her girlfriend's neck. She wrapped her arms around Emily's lithe body and pulled her close. With one hand, she kneaded Emily's breast and pinched and rolled her nipple between her fingers. Her other hand slid down between Emily's legs and found her positively soaked. Emily let out a soft mewl as Tara's fingers grazed lightly over her clit, and they both knew it was just the beginning—there would be many, many more sounds tumbling from those perfect, pouty lips before the night was through, and Tara loved every single one of them. Tara's nimble fingers continued their work, making Emily whine and pant and arch her back against her girlfriend's chest.

"That's it; that's my girl," Tara murmured into the crook of Emily's neck, "Come for me, baby." Emily came with a loud, keening wail that filled the whole room. She was flushed and breathless, and Tara thought she'd never looked more beautiful. Tara slowly pulled her hand away and brought her glistening fingers to Emily's lips. Emily took them into her mouth and sucked, tilting her head to lock eyes with Tara as she did.
