Better Than Him

Chapter XLI

It was the next day. Clarke stayed the night in Lexa's room. She didn't want to be bothered in her own room. The only one that might enter their room was Becca but she doubted that she would.

But nevertheless, Clarke was sound asleep in Lexa's bed. The night before was rough. Clarke had broken down again. Lexa listened and helped her with the best of her abilities but at one point, Clarke had gotten so frustared that she had to step back. She was not in fear of Clarke but because Clarke just simply wanted to be left alone.

Seeing Clarke like this, made Lexa feel heartbroken. All she wanted to do was to take her stress and anger away. She knew she had tons of built up emotions and they were all just coming out. She didn't blame her at all. Eventually, Clarke had hit the end and calmed down before going to sleep.

In the morning, Lexa had woken up first. She lit candles and cracked the windows open. As Lexa did her morning routine, Clarke started to wake up.

Clarke sat up and stretched. Lexa walked over to her and sat down on the bed next to her. "Good morning." Lexa kissed Clarke's head. "Did you sleep well?"

"Best sleep I've had in a while." Clarke said, yawning. Lexa moved hair out of Clarke's face. "I'd like to say sorry for letting my emotions get the best of me last night. I shouldn't have taken it out on you."

Lexa cupped Clarke's face and rubbed her cheek with her hand. "You don't need to be sorry." Lexa kissed Clarke's head. "It's okay, you were upset. You have every right to be upset too." Clarke leaned into her touch. "Listen, your problems are my problems and vice versa."

"I know we aren't really dating but can we take a bath?" Lexa nodded and got out of bed.

The bath was much needed. Even though they were naked and washing each other, nothing sexual happened. Clarke felt like she was in heaven. Lexa's hands were working magic on her body. She was massaging her back, legs and arms.

They were in there until the water got cold. They dried off and got into clean clothes. They kept their distance while getting dressed in the bathroom. They didn't want to do anything too much before talking about their relationship. But as Clarke turned around, she saw Lexa's naked back and that made all past thoughts leave her mind.

Clarke walked up behind Lexa as she was putting a bra on. She wrapped her arms around her waist and brushed her lips against her shoulders.

"Clarke..." Lexa whispered as she pressed kisses from her shoulder to her neck. "We shouldn't..."

"I wanna feel you, Lex. I need to feel you."

Lexa spun around and leaned in, kissing her. She felt Lexa's hands reach down to her thighs as Clarke's fingers made their way to her wet brown hair. Lexa picked her up and she wrapped her legs around her hips.

Clarke's body was on fire. She felt Lexa everywhere. She needed Lexa. Her body ached for her, her touch.

Lexa opened the bathroom door and carried her out to the bed. As Clarke was placed on the bed, Lexa got settled between legs. Lexa left her lips and kissed down to her cleavage. Clarke's breathing started to quicken.

Just as things were starting to get exciting, there was a knock on the door. "Ignore it." Lexa mumbled into her chest. Her shirt was about to come off when there was another knock. They both groaned, loudly. "What!" Lexa yelled, picking her head up.

"It's me and Jake!" Becca called back.

"Uh." Lexa got off of Clarke and went to find a shirt. "One second!" Clarke scrambled off the bed and sat down on the couch. Lexa pulled the shirt off her head and Clarke fixed her hair. Lexa sat down on the couch. "Come in."
