You're safe with me

Part9

Clarke walks around with Lexa close to her really - closer than she needs to be, but Clarke doesn't mind. She knows that Lexa is only being protective of her, and she's fine with that.

When Clarke walks into a place where there are more people, Lexa links their fingers together, reassuring herself and Clarke that she's there for the omega and everything will be okay. Normally, during this time of year, alphas choose not to show as much dominance as they usually do, and Lexa is thankful for that, because she doesn't want Clarke to see that side of the world again. If Lexa had anything to do with it, omegas would never be sold to alphas and she wouldn't have to try and shield Clarke from seeing it. Lexa can smell some alpha in the air, trying to show off their dominance, but when Clarke looks over at Lexa, she just smirks, because she knows that they would be no match for her.

"God you're so smug," Clarke comments, as Lexa's smirk only gets bigger and bigger.

"I can't help it, they wouldn't stand a chance." Clarke rolls her eyes and laughs, but she knows it's true. They wouldn't stand a chance against Lexa, no one would, and she hasn't even seen Lexa lose her temper. She would feel incredibly sorry for anyone that went against Lexa.

Lexa watches as Clarke's eyes widen looking at a tree. She watches the smile that forms on Clarke's lips and what Lexa doesn't realise is that she's also smiling at Clarke. God, this girl makes her so happy. Clarke turns to Lexa with that big smile on her face still, and Lexa's heart warms at watching her.

"This is the one, it's perfect," Clarke says, eyeing Lexa and asking for permission for them to get it.

"Yeah? You sure?" Lexa asks, wanting Clarke's first Christmas with her to be memorable. She assumes that Clarke's never had one before and that breaks her heart - everyone deserves Christmas, don't they?

"Yes, Lexa, this Christmas is going to be perfect." Clarke smiles and quickly kisses her cheek. Lexa goes a little red, because she didn't expect it.

Lexa gets someone to get the tree for Clarke and they get him to deliver the tree to Lexa's house within the next day. Lexa can see how excited Clarke is getting with this.

Clarke and Lexa get home before everyone else and Lexa is glad, as she gets to spend some one on one time with Clarke, and that's something she hasn't gotten to do since their relationship has taken a turn.

Lexa is nervous; she really doesn't want to mess things up with Clarke by saying the wrong thing, but she wants to know what they are doing.

Clarke sits down on the couch and looks over to Lexa, who is still standing in the hallway.

"When will your friends be back?" Clarke asks.

"Not until later, they will probably buy the whole mall," Lexa quips.

"So will we be alone?"
"Yeah," Lexa whispers and sits down next to Clarke.

They both sit in silence, not knowing where to start, because things kind of changed over a short period of time and they haven't had the time to talk about them.

Lexa speaks up first, because she really just needs to know what they are doing.

"So."

"So."

"W-what are we doing?" Lexa whispers, as she's not sure what Clarke wants right now.

It's silent for a little while and Lexa can see that the girl is thinking about it. Lexa begins to play with her hands, because she's scared for the first time in her life. She's scared for a girl that she doesn't want to lose.

"I-I don't know" Clarkes says, and Lexa frowns a little, so Clarke continues, "All I know is that I'm falling for you." Lexa smiles and takes Clarke's hands in hers, then gently kisses them.

"Me too," Lexa admits.

They stare at each other and Lexa moves closer to Clarke. She puts her hand behind Clarke's neck and pulls her forward until their lips meet. It's gentle at first, but then Clarke can feel Lexa's tongue begging for entrance. Usually, Clarke pulls away before anything can happen between them, but this time, she doesn't. She allows Lexa entrance and she can feel how excited Lexa is becoming, because she gently pushes Clarke so that she can be on top.

When their tongues finally meet, Lexa moans quite loudly. Clarke can feel Lexa's heart beating incredibly fast in her chest. Lexa starts to kiss her way down Clarke's neck and when she reaches the part where the mating bond will eventually be, she gives it a nip, but not enough to break skin; just enough to leave a little mark on her neck. When Clarke feels Lexa's teeth on her neck and feels her nip, she whimpers and Lexa pulls back to look into blue eyes. When Clarke opens her eyes, she can see that Lexa's are almost black. If it was any other alpha, she would be afraid of what they were going to do to her. She knows it's hard for Lexa to have a pure omega underneath her whimpering. Any other alpha would take her right there and wouldn't care that she wasn't ready.

"Did I hurt you?" Lexa asks, and Clarke can see the concern etched on her face.

"No, it just took me by surprise that's all." Clarke brings her hand up so she can touch Lexa's cheek and feels Lexa push back into her hand.

"Do you want to stop?" Lexa mumbles and goes a little red from asking Clarke this question. Clarke chuckles, because Lexa is trying to hide her blush using Clarke's hand, but of course Clarke notices it.

"Maybe we can just cuddle for a little while." Lexa lifts her head and smiles, then she gently kisses Clarke's nose.

"Of course." Lexa smiles and snuggles into Clarke so that her nose is close to the little red mark she made only a few seconds ago.

"Are you disappointed?" Clarkes asks as she begins playing with Lexa's hair.

Lexa looks up at her and blue eyes bore into now green ones. "I could never be disappointed with you," Lexa says, completely serious, because it's true; how could she ever be disappointed with Clarke?

Clarke nods her head but doesn't say anything. "Don't you ever believe that, okay?" Lexa asks

"Okay".
