Pure | Cate Blanchett

Chapter 30

Cate is holding Amanda as the two sleep. This is one of the few nights Cate ends up the big spoon. Amanda isn't complaining. In fact, she enjoys it when it does happen.

Cate moves her leg in between Amanda's, rubbing gently against her core. Amanda takes in a sharp breath alerting Cate her task was completed.

Amanda flips over to face Cate. Her legs make sure to return between Amanda's. Cate's knee moving slowly against her lover's sensitive center.

Amanda pulls Cate in, trying to silence the deep moan stuck in her throat from the friction being applied between her legs.

Cate moves her hand down her lover's body towards where she needs her most. Goosebumps are left behind as she does so and Amanda squirms underneath Cate's feather touch.

Amanda rocks against Cate's hands. She knows exactly what gets Amanda going. Cate moves enough so she is now on top. Amanda lets go of her girlfriend's lips and hides her face in Cate's neck, moaning against her skin.

The bed creaks slightly as they move together. Amanda gasps for air as she feels herself getting closer to her climax. Cate is moving her hand just how she likes it, exactly the right way to get her over the edge.

Amanda's sinks her nails into Cate's ivory skin as her climax washes over her. Her short, high-pitched moans are dampened by Cate's skin.

Amanda remembers the early days of their relationship. The money, the experimentation, and more importantly, how Amanda always topped. She definitely doesn't mind their relationship now. It's just sweet how it has evolved over the months.

"Amanda?" Her eyes focus on Cate's worried blue ones.

"Sorry," Amanda looks away from her lovers eyes. She notices the purple bite marks on Cate's shoulder. She leans forward again to kiss and smooth the skin.

"It didn't hurt. Well, not in a bad way," Cate smiles cheekily and proceeds to lay down her head on Amanda's chest.

Amanda traces circles on Cate's bare back as they lay in post-coital bliss. Amanda can smell the slight sweat still in the air. It's quiet. Only each other's thoughts fill the room.

Cate rubs her finger gently against Amanda's upper stomach. The contact calming her. I love you is all she wants to say, all she is saying through her thumb.

Cate listens to her lovers heartbeat speed up slightly. She lifts her head, making eye contact with her. Amanda smiles down at Cate. She notices Amanda swallow briefly before opening her mouth.

"Annie? Emi?" Royal walks through the door, interrupting the moment. They both look over at them, thankful they have a sheet over themselves.

"I figured you'd still be in here, but I want to introduce you to someone," Royal smiles wide before turning to close the door, giving them the privacy they need to get dressed. The couple sits up. The use of their new names telling them just about everything.

"They must not know if this new person can be trusted," Amanda comments and she slides out of bed and walks towards their shared closet. They get dressed in the same comfortable silence they were in before the interruption.

Cate glanced over the edge of the railing. Royal was standing, talking to someone she didn't recognize. This new person had black hair with a streak of blonde where their bangs would be. They wore their hair in a slick, high bun.

"Emilia, Annie, this is Ramona," they extend their hand towards both of us, separately shaking each.

"Hi," they have an enthusiastic smile on their face, "I use any pronouns," both Cate and Amanda notice their American accent and look over towards Royal. They are borderline staring at Ramona. The two make eye contact with each other. They know fully well what Royal's thinking.

"I'm Emilia," Cate introduces herself with her new name, "I use she/her pronouns," she looks over towards Amanda.

"So that must make you Annie," Amanda smiles and nods curtly.

"That I am! I also use she/her pronouns," Cate catches Royal taking the occasional glance towards the two lovers and back towards Ramona. There is no hiding the fact that Royal likes Ramona as more than a friend.

"I'm sorry if this is a bad time," Ramona has an apologetic look on their face. "It seemed like you guys weren't quite out of bed yet.." Amanda looks over towards Cate and can tell she is trying to prevent any blush from appearing on her pale face.

She wasn't entirely successful. Amanda pulls Cate closer to her my her hip. Ramona looks the two up and down and smiles wide.

"You two are very cute," Ramona tucks a strand of hair behind her ear, "but I think we should leave you to it," Royal stands silent for a second longer before clearing their throat.

"I'll be back tonight sometime," the small group makes the formal and informal goodbyes before the two new lovebirds leave the house. Amanda and Cate stay in their current position, still content with how they are standing together.

Amanda is drawing circles against Cate's hip underneath her shirt. Cate is holding Amanda's torso. The pair don't move after Royal and Ramona left the house.

"She sounded really sweet," Amanda breaks the comfortable silence.

"I'm glad Royal has possibly found someone," they head on over to the couch just a few feet away and sink into the cushions. "She also had an American accent. Did you notice that?"

"I did.." Amanda stays silent for another moment. "The odds of meeting someone else from the states are low, but I guess not impossible,"

Amanda motions towards the antique cigarette holder on the table in front of them. Cate immediately understood, standing up and taking one out.

The two head to the back porch, lighting and sharing the single cigarette. There doesn't need to be any conversation. The silence in comfortable in its own.

The two were at peace with where they are. They left their home country to be together. So of course nothing could go wrong now, right?
_________________________________________________________________________________

I think you guys noticed I change my writing style just a tad with the third person forever ago. I'll eventually switch the earlier chapter to the third person (maybe if I feel it won't ruin what I've already written)

I also kinda needed a little smut scene between two people who love each other (even if the relationship is fictional) but I doubt you guys minded at all ;)

Thank you so much for reading! I've been thinking of this story nonstop at this point and will try my hardest to update more than once every like three months. You guys deserve better than that.

Love You!!!
