Caught In Bliss

Hers

I never wish to rush this story which is why I allow it to carry me. I don't plan it out and some days it flows like crazy and others it takes a while. Enjoy.

The early morning was casted in gray clouds, the gentle patter of rain echoing though the home as specks of lights broke through the haze. Kat shifted against the warm body her head laid against, her eyes opening to the site of the brunette whom she still accompanied. Dom had been peacefully sleeping with her hand tucked into the soft red strands of hair, the taller woman finding her feet dangling off the bed. Kat gently began pushing herself away from the petite woman as to not wake her. The quietness of the space was almost in turn a loud reminder of the peace which nested there. Kat ran her fingers across her forehead, her hand not finding any sweat as she studied the small thermometer Dom left near the nightstand.

The process was meticulous, checking her temperature and making sure she stayed as quiet as possible. There was no way to tell the time without grabbing a phone or checking a wall clock. Kat crawled out of the sheets, her feet softly brushing against the hardwood as she prepped herself for a shower. The water felt amazing against her skin, her eyes closing under the liquid as it trickled against her face. The sound of something falling is what spooked her, her head tilting out of the shower as water dropped against the bath mat.

"Dom? You okay in there?"

There was no response.

"Dom?" She called out again, quickly rinsing off her body before she hopped from the water, her feet drying off in the fluffy texture below. The redhead peeked into the room. The brunette was still asleep, her hand pressed under her cheek as the thunder cracked loudly outside. Kat shivered from the cool air which kissed her skin, her dripping silhouette being casted only from the light in the room behind her. With a sighed breath, the redhead dried herself off, wrapping her body gently in a towel before walking back into the room. She didn't know what she wanted to wear for the day and her options were limited at the brunette's place. Funnily enough, Kat had packed a bag the other night to bring over but never went back for it.

Dom shifted against the sheets, her soft groan dancing against the walls as her hand blindly gave soft pats to the bed. Kat knew the woman was reaching for her, stretching out to regain warmth that had disappeared. The redhead paced over just as Dom's eyes opened, a soft gaze leaving the brunette's sleepy stare.

"Mm, you're up early." Dom yawned, her eyes soft and slightly blurred.

"Yeah. What's your excuse?" Kat smirked as the brunette shrugged, her skin tickling as she stretched against the satin sheets.

"The bed felt empty." Dom's teeth ran against the bottom of her lip before she closed her eyes once more. "Are you up for good?"

"Yeah. I showered and then I'll make breakfast for us. You should sleep a bit more."

"No." Dom groaned, forcing her tired eyes open once more, "I could help." Kat nodded, walking around the bed before pushing herself up against the mattress, sitting just close enough to the brunette's waist. Dom's right hand fell softly against her thigh.

"Tell you what, you get some more sleep because I'm not sure how much rest either of us are going to be getting later on." Kat's voice was low, her honey smooth tone causing Dom to shift, her fingers brushing against the base of the redhead's towel. Instantly the woman remembered the words Kat had promised her, causing a stir in her belly which she wasn't ready for. The sun hadn't even been up in the sky and the storm happening outside had been causing a sort of rattling to fill the space. Dom gently smiled, her eyes closing as she gave a soft nod.

"Fine. You make breakfast."

Kat had did what she promised, chopping up fresh fruit and making a few vegan crepes. Dom had shuffled down the steps, taking her place on the stool near the island counter. The brunette pushed her fingers through her wet hair, her hands stretching forward for a plate as Kat smirked.
