Our Journey (the Fourth Book in the Her Weakness series)

Chapter 93

Clarke's POV (it turned into a lot of fluff, but I promise we'll get to the smut eventually 😉 )

I push open the door and I can feel my curiosity bubble up inside of me. To the right is the master bathroom, which Lexa and I go into first. The tiles beneath my feet are cool to the touch and the same light gray as the entryway. A countertop with sinks lines the wall across from the door we enter from, and it nearly goes down the entire room, stopping only when it reaches a rather large bathtub. To the left of the bathtub is the toilet, and against the wall near the door is a shower, but I doubt the water here is good enough yet for a shower.

"We're definitely soaking in the bathtub tomorrow," I say.

Lexa nods. "Sounds good, hodnes (love). Should we freshen up before... going to bed?"

"We should," I agree.

Like Lexa suggested, freshen up and then head hand in hand into our bedroom for the first time. I chuckle and give Lexa an amused look.

"Did you have our bed from Polis brought here?" I ask.

"It is the most comfortable bed in the clans," Lexa says in lieu of answering.

I shake my head fondly but decide to leave that alone for now. It's our wedding night, after all, and I have better things to do than teasing Lexa. Like I could be doing her instead.

Lexa seems to come to the same conclusion and turns to me, a smirk playing on her lips as she pulls me close. I get as close as I can to her without kissing her, letting my warm breath gently hit her face. I mainly manage to keep my eyes on hers, but they flick down every so often to her lips.

Lexa gives in before I do, at first brushing her lips against mine, closing those last millimeters between us. My eyes flutter shut, and my hands find their rightful place, resting lightly on her waist. The kiss is soft and exploratory in the beginning, taking the time to revel in this moment. Assuming we go all the way through with this, this will be our first time making love as wives.

Lexa changes the angle of the kiss, doing that adorable thing where she brushes her nose against mine. With this, the kiss gets deeper, our hands hungrier and our bodies wanting to feel skin-to-skin contact. One of my hands goes up to tangle in her hair, the other untucking her shirt (this nerd tucked it back in after using the bathroom earlier, even when she knew we would be getting undressed soon) and pressing against her lower back. Lexa's hands go to my hair and the other to my side.

I slip my tongue into her mouth and pull her as close as I can. We make out until I have to pull back to catch my breath. I pant, looking into Lexa's eyes as she does the same. I lick my lips and Lexa's eyes follow my tongue's path across my lips. I can practically feel the lust radiating off of her.

I tug gently at Lexa's suit jacket and her eyes flick back up to mine. "May I take this off?" I ask softly.

Lexa smiles softly, leaning in to give me a quick peck. "Yes you may, ai houmon (my partner/wife)."

I beam at the use of that word. Before, it just meant that we're partners, but now Lexa's my wife. And Gods, I love this woman. I kiss her sweetly and begin helping her out of her suit jacket. I let it fall onto the floor and Lexa pulls back slightly, pouting at me.

I giggle at the pout, which seems so out of place on Lexa's face. "What, babe?"

"That is what we got married in, Clarke. I do not want it to get wrinkly."

"And you don't want to just wait until morning to put it away?"

Lexa raises one eyebrow at me. "Will we really pick it up in the morning, or just spend more time in bed?"

I sigh. "That's true." Lexa gives me an exaggeratedly triumphant look that makes me laugh as she crouches down to pick up her suit jacket. "Alright, now come on you nerd. We can put these fancy clothes in the closet."

"I have been out of the closet for a long time, Clarke. I have no intention of going back in," Lexa says seriously.

I peck her on the lips and pull on her hand towards our closet. "You're cute."

The hangers are different than what Lexa is used to, so I show her how to put her suit jacket on it.

"May I practice?" Lexa asks.

"Sure."

I'm kind of confused on why she would want to practice something like this and I reach for her suit jacket to take it down for her, but it feels like something snagged my suit jacket. I feel a tug and realize that it's Lexa's hand pulling on it.

"You sneaky..." I trail off, laughing.

"You mean smooth, Clarke."

"Mm. That's definitely what I meant." Lexa takes off my suit jacket and hangs it up properly. I bite my lower lip and tug gently on her hand. "Want to learn how to hang up more things?"

Lexa nods and we meet halfway with a kiss. My hands are the first to wander, going to untuck the rest of her shirt.

"I still can't believe you tucked this in again. You knew we would probably be taking it off again," I say with amusement in my voice.

"You like taking things off of me," Lexa points out between kisses. I can't argue with her there. I unbutton her shirt and Lexa helps me take it off. She lets out a grumbling noise when I pull back.

"This is how you hang a button-up," I say jokingly. I actually do hang it up, though.

Lexa shakes her head fondly at me and kisses me deeply. I help her out of her bindings and Lexa pulls back, looking at me, still almost fully dressed.

"You are overdressed," she murmurs.

"I guess you'll just have to help me fix that," I purr.

Next chapter, we should actually get to the smut part... apparently, I can't write smut without fluff, but I don't know why I expected it to be any different haha. For the second day in a row my early class was cancelled... After I drank caffeine. Both days I've flopped back into my bed and today I actually fell back asleep! It's been lovely! And this is over 4 pages of them just being nerds and not getting to sex yet... Which we will, next chapter! I'll be writing it on a Sunday so at least that means I'll only be around my roommate if she's actually in the room... I'll still blush though. Thank you all for reading and thank you so much for those super lovely comments last chapter, they absolutely made my day! Stay awesome!
