Two plus six plus five equals family

Chapter 24

Kara stumbled into the hotel room with Lena, sharing giggles as they bumped into a bunch of things, such as a lamp and a table, while neither one of them was willing to break the contact.

Lena grasped the hem of Kara's shirt, kissing her soundly on the lips as she lifted her shirt, needing to break their kiss for a moment to pull her shirt over her head. Before Kara's shirt made it onto the floor, her lips were on hers again. She looped her fingers into Kara's jeans and tugged her closer, kissing her harder, with more wanton.

Kara nipped at Lena's lip to tease her, gentle and calculated while her hands slipped under Lena's shirt. "You're overdressed," she whispered against lipstick smeared lips.

Lena took a step back and allowed Kara to take her shirt off. She shivered at the way Kara's eyes drank her body in. With a sideways smile, she reached behind her back and unclasped her bra, pushing the straps aside and sliding it down her arms while Kara watched.

Kara startled into action and unclasped her own bra, tossing it to the floor next to Lena's bra. "Bubble bath?" she asked, fingers at the button of Lena's pants.

"Bubble bath," Lena confirmed, kissing Kara's neck.

Kara unbuttoned Lena's pants and shimmied them down her legs. "My goddess," she said, gazing up at Lena with nothing but pure affection, admiration and respect.

Lena found a whole new reason to shed emotional tears upon hearing those words spill from Kara's lips. "You're one to talk," she whispered, smiling. "You, darling, are a goddess," she said, pulling Kara up to her feet. "I was so worried I wouldn't be worthy of you," she confessed.

"Nonsense, Lee," Kara replied, surprised Lena would ever doubt her worth so much. "You are so much more than worthy of me. Even being near you makes me a very lucky woman."

"Charmer," Lena chuckled, though she knew Kara was being sincere. She helped Kara out of her pants and guided her towards the bubble bath. "Cute undies," she said, glancing at Kara's pink underwear which had care bears on them.

Kara blushed and bit her lip. The fact that her underwear looked cute was the reason why she bought it. She loved cartoons and all the likes. "You look...," she whispered, shaking her head. "Sexy," she concluded, a little shy.

Lena on her part, was wearing red lacy underwear, which matched with her bra that was currently on the floor. She pushed her underwear down, feeling confident when she heard Kara gasp. "Care to join me or would you rather watch?" she asked, setting one foot inside of the bubble bath.

"Oh Rao," Kara whispered, hurrying out of her underwear to join Lena in the bubble bath. "How does the temperature feel?"

Lena moved to straddle Kara's lap, brushing her hair to the side. "Hot," she answered, kissing the shell of Kara's ear.

"Le-Lena," Kara spluttered. "I meant the water," she said, though she had a feeling Lena knew that.

"It feels good," Lena replied, feeling relaxed. "I don't think I'll ever be able to stop kissing you," she whispered, pressing open-mouthed kisses against Kara's neck.

"Then don't stop," Kara replied, moving her hands up and down Lena's bare back. "We have all night, Lee, and after tonight we have our entire future ahead of us," she said, smiling because she wouldn't be going anywhere. She reached around the tub until she found her hair-tie. "Someone once asked me if I'd ever wanted to do something spontaneous and damn the consequences."

Lena smiled, feeling happy Kara remembered she asked her that one night when they sat on the pier together near their beach house. Her eyes followed Kara's hand as she clutched the hair-tie in her hands like it was something precious.
