Chapter 9
This following morning Clarke spends a lot of time with thinking. What did that kiss mean to her and what did it mean to Lexa? How are things going to continue between them? Would she ask of her to stop working as an escort, if they got together? All these questions and more swirled around in her head, without finding an answer for any of them. She likes Lexa, that’s for sure. But is it enough? That kiss for example, it caused so many emotions in her heart she doesn’t know where to start. The way Lexa has kissed her and how soft her lips felt on hers. This has to mean something. Clarke has to admit that she desires Lexa, not just in a sexual way, but in a way that could make her feel whole again. Everyone she met in her life so far only wanted to rip her heart apart but she doesn’t think that Lexa would ever do this. She would never, of that Clarke is certain.
A few days later Clarke comes home after a very long and boring class about what to do when somebody has suffered a concussion, so useless. She takes a look into the fridge and makes a face, if she doesn’t want to eat a raw cabbage with ketchup for dinner she needs to go grocery shopping. But she had a better idea. She texts Lexa to come back to the offer she made her at the ball:
To: Ms. Fancy suit <3
Hey, remember when you told me you would invite me over for dinner sometime? I would like to invite myself over for dinner tonight! :D :*
She tries to distract herself from starving and is relaxing in her bed watching Netflix until she hears her phone buzzing.
From: Ms. Fancy suit <3
Sure, I would like to have you over for dinner tonight : ) I can pick you up after work. Is 6pm alright? :*
Clarke replies her that 6pm is totally fine and starts to get ready because she always needs hours and she hasn’t showered in like 2 days, so she should probably do that as well or she would never hear from Lexa again. Since this is just dinner she is dressing less formal tonight: Tight jeans, sneakers and a tight, blue v-neck shirt with a leather jacket. For some reason she isn’t in the mood to put make-up on and has some more time to lay around. As Lexa texts her she grabs her keys but before she opens the door she notices the tiny gold bracelet laying on her nightstand that she totally forgot about. She just threw it there after that first night with Lexa. She takes it and puts it in her pocket to give it back to Lexa. Her heart is beating like crazy as she walks down the steps of the building. Clarke cannot wait to see her again.
She screamed a little when she opens the door and Lexa stands right in front of it.
“Woah! Be careful when you do that, I know karate and can’t control my reflexes”, she says.
Lexa just laughs “Oh, then I have to be really careful. Don’t want to get myself in trouble.” and they hug for a little longer than necessary.
The drive to Lexa’s house she is just complaining about work but Clarke doesn’t mind it. It is funny to hear how she goes all crazy about things Clarke doesn’t have a clue about. Like “You should’ve seen him Clarke. This idiot issued this document on the 24th of July when it was obvious to see that it should’ve been issued on the 26th of June. Apparently I am the only person in this company who thinks past lunch.” The blonde just smiles because she secretly finds it super cute. Lexa parks the car in the garage and they enter the house.
“Do I have to take my shoes off?” Clarke asks.
“It would be preferred.” Lexa answers.
So, both take their shoes off and Clarke hangs her jacket onto a hook next to the door. Lexa’s looks for a few seconds at Clarke’s shirt and legs before she turns around and walks into another room while shouting “Is it okay if I change into something more fit for cooking? I don’t want to get any stains on this jacket.”
“Sure princess, I understand. I wouldn’t want that to happen either if the things I wore cost more than my monthly rent.” Clarke jokes. After a few minutes Lexa comes out of the other room only wearing a white shirt, jeans and she put her hair in a pony tail. This makes her face look a little thinner but definitely not less attractive.
“Wow, I almost don’t recognize you when you aren’t wearing your fancy clothes Ms. Woodson. I feel honoured to be probably the only person to ever see you like this.” Clarke continues in a very sarcastic voice. Lexa is just rolling her eyes at her while she starts to get some pots out. “What are we cooking by the way? I am so hungry.” Clarke asks.
“How about orange roasted salmon with brown rice and asparagus?” Lexa asks back.
“Uhh… sure. I already know that I have probably never eaten anything like that before but as you know I am open to everything.” the blonde answers.
“Have you any experience with cooking or do you prefer watching first so nobody gets stabbed?” Lexa says in a joking way.
Clarke shows her the top of her tongue saying “I prefer just to watch the professional here. I am only here to get rid of the food later and to look good.”
“Well, in that you are doing an excellent job.” the brunette says while she looks again at Clarke’s top.
The next 30 minutes Clarke is watching Lexa how she prepares the food and the blonde girl is quite impressed by how fast Lexa does it. It would probably take her up to 2 hours and the food would taste disgusting. As Lexa is finished she puts the food on huge white plates and places it in front of Clarke, who waits until Lexa is sitting herself.
“Thank you very much for cooking Lexa, I am sure it is delicious.” Clarke says and starts eating.
She never thought that salmon could taste so good, she was never a big fan of it but this is absolutely delicious. It is hard for her not to moan while she is chewing. They eat in silence because Clarke is too busy enjoying the first real cooked meal she had in months probably. Lexa only eats one plate but Clarke gets a second and a third plate because she was so hungry. Lexa is just watching her eating with a very amused look on her face. Clarke was never a supporter of the “Don’t let your date see how much you eat on a regular basis” theory. If somebody cannot handle how much she’s eating then they gotta go. After the blonde is finished with everything she leans back and sighs satisfied.
“Oh my god, this was good. I needed that. Food is better than sex sometimes.” Lexa giggles at that and clears the table putting the plates into the dishwasher. “Oh I almost forgot to mention that!” Clarke says and gets up to walk to her jacket. She pulls the golden bracelet out of the pocket and walks up to Lexa again “I forgot to give that back to you.” she says shyly looking at Lexa’s face.
Clarke cannot make out what is going on inside of the brunette but to her surprise Lexa just takes her fingers and closes them over the bracelet and whispers “keep it.”
“A-are you sure?” Clarke stutters almost not believing what she just heard “this must have cost a fortune. I cannot accept that from you!” she continues.
“Please… keep it. I want you to have it.” Lexa says with a very soft voice.
Clarke looks at Lexa who is looking at her with so much love in her eyes. Before Clarke can say anything else Lexa grabbed her by the waist and pulled her close for a kiss. This kiss is different than the last, Clarke can feel Lexa’s passion and how she can barely decide where she wants to put her hands. The blonde wraps her arms around the tall woman’s neck and returns the kiss just as passionate without thinking about it. In this moment she doesn’t want to think, all she wants is Lexa the way she is feeling her right now. She tastes Lexa’s tongue on her lips, so she opens her mouth to let the top of her tongue play with Lexa’s and both of them escapes a little moan as this happens. Clarke buries her fingers in Lexa’s hair pulling it a little bit which makes the brunette even wilder as it seems. Clarke doesn’t want this to stop, she wants Lexa to take her and to show her what she can do.
After a few more minutes Clarke got Lexa so hot and bothered that she is picking her up in her arms to carry her to the bedroom while Clarke is wrapping her legs around her waist. She can only feel how Lexa lays her on a soft mattress without stopping to kiss her. The brunette takes Clarke’s shirt off, throws it in a corner of the room and goes a little lower with her face to kiss Clarke’s neck. The blonde woman moans as she feels Lexa’s lips on her skin giving her goosebumps. She takes Lexa’s hand and places it on one of her breast whereupon Lexa squeezes it a little bit.
“God I want you so bad.” Clarke whispers in her ear.
Lexa bites her lip after she hears her saying that and lets her right hand slide into Clarke’s pants. Lexa’s slim fingers rub her tightly between her legs making Clarke moan again. She takes her pants off as well, so Clarke is lying underneath her with only her underwear on. The blonde kisses the other woman’s lips one more time before she gently pushes her head lower and lifts up her waist so she can take her underwear off as well. Lexa is gently spreading Clarke’s legs and kisses her belly a little. Clarke is gently stroking Lexa’s brown hair but when she feels her tongue moving against her clit she grabs it pretty hard.
“Oh fuck!” Clarke mumbles over and over again while Lexa is giving her so much pleasure with her tongue. Clarke is enjoying this for a long time before she pulls Lexa up to her again begging “Please fuck me Lexa, please” before she kisses her again and biting her lip afterwords.
“Everything you want baby”, Lexa replies and has no problem sliding two of her fingers into Clarke who is already so wet for her.
“Oh my fucking god!” Clarke screams as Lexa is going in and out of her getting faster and deeper every time she enters the blonde. Clarke shoves her hands under Lexa’s shirt and scratches along her back over and over again until she comes so good and intense her whole body seems to be numb for a few seconds. After this orgasm Clarke needs a moment to remember where she actually is and is just lying naked on the bed breathing heavily. Lexa lets herself fall next to her doing the same. When Clarke can move again without twitching she just rolls over and lays her head on Lexa’s chest wrapping her arm around her waist as well. Lexa is gently touching her back a little bit and Clarke drifts into the deepest sleep she ever had. The last thing she feels is Lexa’s soft lips on her forehead and her voice whispering from far away “You are so beautiful.”
