"Are you prepared my Wolf?" Mara asked, coming to rest behind her girlfriend and wrapping her arms around the Titan's bare hips as the Queen rested her chin atop the warrior's head, absentmindedly tracing patterns on her exposed naval.
The Young Wolf shuddered at her girlfriend's tender touch, smiling at the monarch through the mirror as she responded, "Yes My Queen, we've been over our plan at least ten times." She said fondly, shaking her head as she readjusted her sports bra before turning around to wrap her own arms around Mara's neck.
It had been a week since she found out the way through the portal was the fifteenth wish and that entire time was filled with planning upon planning upon planning.
Mara knew there would be a price, Riven always demanded a price and the Young Wolf knew the Queen was hoping the price wasn't too high of a cost.
Like her own girlfriend.
The Titan knew that was one of Mara's biggest concerns about this entire thing, that Riven would demand satisfaction from her because she had been the one that killed her.
And no matter what she said to the Queen, she knew her fear would linger until this mission was over, the price was paid and they wished their way through that portal.
Maybe then she could finally rest...
A very long nap sounded nice right about now, preferably with Mara beside her.
Back to the present though, Mara sighed at her teasing remark and leaned her head down to rest on her forehead, both women closing their eyes to soak in the warmth from each other, "I know, I know. I just, I don't want anything to happen to you." She whispered, pressing her lips to the Titan's forehead, making the young woman hum in delight, snuggling all the more closer to the Queen and trying to ignore the way her exposed skin brushed up against Mara's leather clothing.
It was very distracting.
"I know Mara, but nothings going to happen. I have you all running tactical every step of the way plus I have Echo beside me if things get hairy. We'll all be fine." She said with a soft smile, looking up at her lover with a lovesick look behind her eyes which only made Mara's butterflies flutter even more inside her gut, for a completely different reason though instead of nerves.
God she was just too damn good. Why did the one woman she fall for have to be the literal definition of perfect?
The Queen huffed, "How do you manage that?" She asked, an eyebrow raised in amusement as she curled one of her fingers into the chestnut curls of the Titan.
"Manage what?"
"Manage to calm me down with a look and a few simple words?" She asked, shaking her head in disbelief as she leaned down to kiss the woman's cheek, "Not once has anyone been able to do so, in all my lifetimes alive, yet here you are..."
The Young Wolf smirked at her girlfriend, leaning up to press her lips now against the monarch's, claiming them and smiling into her mouth before pulling away a second later, "I'm just that good." She said teasingly, flipping her hair behind her shoulder which caused her breasts to jiggle back and forth which drew Mara's eyes for a split second before she knocked herself out of her trance.
She really needed to focus.
"Yes, you are." Mara said softly, staring at her girlfriend with a gentle look behind her glowing blue eyes.
The Titan laughed, "Come on! If we keep with this back and forth we're gonna be late, plus I have to get dressed." She said, staring down at her frame which only had her black sports bra and spandex shorts adorning her body.
