Renting happiness

The party went pretty well and after some more hours everybody is on their way home/hotel. Even Lincoln preferred it to stay in a hotel. When Lexa asked why he would only laugh and say “I already had to listen to you fucking girls in your room when we were teenagers. I think I have earned some peace and quiet by now.” Clarke would stay at Lexa’s place though.

As Lexa and Clarke are lying in bed cuddling Clarke looks and Lexa and says “Thank you so much for that party and for inviting all my friends and family.”

“No problem baby. I know how much you must miss them.” Lexa answers.

“What about your family? We have been dating for over four months now and I just found out that you have a brother.” Clarke asks but hesitates a little bit.

Lexa doesn’t look her in the eyes but decides to answer “Unfortunately, my dad passed away when I was 14 years old and my mom hasn’t been the same since then. She lives in a house somewhere near a forest and doesn’t want anybody to visit her. I and my brother have tried it to help her but she doesn’t want any help. We drove to the house where she is living but she slammed the door in our faces. I learned to live with the way she is now and sometimes I think that she, like dad, is already gone.” Clarke doesn’t say anything, just looks at her. She strokes her cheek gently trying to tell her that she understands her.

“I am sorry…” Clarke finally whispers but Lexa only shakes her head a little

“Don’t. You are my family now and I am not planning it on losing it anytime soon.” Lexa answers and kisses Clarke one more time before she turns off the light and both women go to sleep.

On the next morning Clarke wakes up before Lexa, so she carefully gets out of bed to make some breakfast. While she is boiling some eggs she notices Lexa’s laptop on the counter. Clarke is sure Lexa doesn’t mind it if she uses it for a bit to search for jobs. Now that she finally graduated as a pharmaceutical engineer she needs to start working at some point. The whole morning she searches for all kinds of jobs, writes a few emails and leaves several voice mails. Now all she has to do is wait. It is 12pm already and Lexa is still not up. Did she drink too much again last night? Clarke looks into the bedroom but the bed was empty. Where did she go? Just as she is asking herself that question, she feels two hands wrapping around her waist and a raspy voice whispering in her ear.

“Hey there beautiful.”

Clarke smiles and puts her hands on Lexa’s which are resting on her hips. Clarke feels how Lexa is biting her lip gently and hearing her breath right in her ear makes her moan very low. The brunette’s right hand goes a little lower and shoves in her boxer shorts starting to rub Clarke tight between her legs, what makes her moan again but louder this time.

“Ahh Lexa.” Clarke says as she reaches behind with her hand to grab Lexa’s hair.

That makes the tall woman moan as well and Clarke knows that it doesn’t take much more to make her lose control and she loves doing that. To see this strong, sophisticated woman lose all control. To see the hunger in her eyes and to feel how her muscles shake because of all the strength it takes her not to let herself go completely. Clarke pulls on her hair to make Lexa kiss her neck.

“Ugh Lexa that feels so good… please, I need it.” She begs her with a little crying voice and smiles as she feels Lexa biting her neck very hard.

Lexa picks Clarke up and slams her against the wall before she starts to kiss her passionately. Both women let their tongues play with each other for a while and Lexa suddenly slides two of her fingers deep into Clarke making her scream for a second. She curls them up when she goes deep and Clarke feels like she is about to pass out, so good is Lexa fucking her.

“Oh god Lexa yes, yes it feels so amazing, nobody fucks me the way you do!” Clarke screams because at this point she just says out loud whatever comes to her mind.

The blonde shoves her hands under Lexa’s shirt and scratches down her back what makes the brunette moan and fuck her even harder. She can feel how Lexa’s back is wet from blood or sweat Clarke cannot tell but she knows that Lexa doesn’t mind it. That is one of the things that she loves so much about her, that she finally takes her the way she needs it. With every thrust of Lexa’s fingers she slams her harder against the wall and all that Clarke is able to do at this moment is to hold onto Lexa and when she cums, her nails claw into Lexa’s back and she is screaming her name so loudly. Lexa smiles as Clarke tightens around her fingers and lets go of her hair. She carefully lets her down again but Clarke legs shake so much that she still has to hold onto Lexa for a few more seconds.

“God you are so amazing.” Lexa says and kisses her very gently before both of them take a shower together and Lexa goes to work while Clarke stays at home.

9 hours later Lexa unlocks the door to find Clarke in the almost same position as she left her. “Did you even move from that couch today?” Lexa asks jokingly and Clarke just shakes her head.

“Well, technically I did because I got up to make myself some hot pockets.” she answers with a big smile. They have dinner and this time Clarke volunteers to cook something for Lexa. “I know this is not the ‘healthy’ food that you normally eat but it’s fucking delicious you will see.” Clarke assures her.

She makes chicken breast with a flamin’ hot cheeto marinade and baked potatoes with sour cream. When Clarke hands Lexa her plate the brunette takes a close look at it and smells it before she takes the first bite.

“And? Is that too low quality for Ms. Woodson.” Clarke asks curiously.

Lexa doesn’t answer right away but chews it for a little bit before she says “It is a very unexpected combination of flavour but I have to say that it is quite delicious.”

Clarke is happy about that and they eat in silence for a few minutes before she adds “Lexa, I feel bad for living here and not contributing anything to this household. I have been applying everywhere but nobody wants to give me a job here. Are you still sure that you are okay with me living here even though I have no income?”

“Baby, of course I am. I wouldn’t want it any other way. You make me very happy and every time when I step through that door and see you here it makes me fall in love with you all over again.” Lexa assures her and takes her hand in hers.

“Okay… but I will keep trying to find a job.” Clarke insists.

“Whatever you want baby.” Lexa answers and kisses her hand gently. “But you know, I think you should get out of the house a little bit more. This weekend a business partner has invited me to have dinner with him and his wife. It is not very formal and they asked if I could bring you along as well. What do you say?” Lexa continues.

“hmm… sounds good to me. I am always a slut for free food.” Clarke agrees, what makes Lexa laugh so hard she almost spits out her food.

Two more days pass without any news from the companies Clarke applied to. She is starting to get really nervous, she has to find SOMETHING. While the blonde is getting ready to go to this dinner with Lexa’s business partner she picks black jeans and a deep red blouse that fits her lipstick very well. She borrows one of Lexa’s slim silver watches she likes so much and because they are one of those couples that always match clothes, Lexa is wearing a button up shirt in the exact same colour as Clarke’s blouse. Clarke cannot hold herself back but to bite her lip while she watches Lexa getting ready. She will never get over it how hot she actually is.

They both drive to that restaurant that Lexa picked and Clarke was relieved that it wasn’t a place where you only get tiny portions of food for like a hundred Dollars. It was a steakhouse, so she knows that she is going to get some good stuff at least. They go into the big dining room and Lexa’s business partner already gets up as he sees them to shake Lexa’s hand and kiss Clarke’s. That seems a little strange to Clarke but she doesn’t say anything.

“It’s good to finally have some time to discuss some things with you Ms. Woodson.” says the guy.

“I agree, Mr. Cooper.” Lexa answers.

“Oh what a lovely outfit you’re wearing my dear. Where did you buy it?” asks Mrs. Cooper.

“Umm… At H&M” Clarke answers a little ashamed.

The woman just raises her eyebrows and doesn’t say anything about that but her husband is laughing “Oh please don’t mind my wife Ms. Griffin. She has expensive taste, so don’t take it too serious.”

The evening goes by pretty well even though the only highlight for Clarke is the steak that she ordered, which was almost as good as the sex that she had with Lexa this morning. As Lexa got up to go to the restroom and leaves her alone with Mr. Cooper and his wife he almost immediately addresses her.

“So, Ms. Woodson has told me that you recently graduated as pharmaceutical engineer.”

“Well, yes I did just last month.” Clarke answers surprised.

“Ms. Woodson might haven’t told you but I am the dean of the pharmaceutical engineering department at the California Institute of Technology and I’ve been looking for young and motivated people for my department.”

“Oh wow! I… I don’t know what to say.” Clarke says totally flustered.

“Well, yes would be a very enchanting answer but I do not want to pressure you. Take my card and when you have decided please give me a call so we can arrange further things.” He says with a charming smile and hands Clarke his card.

She thanks him and puts it in her purse. When Lexa comes back nobody mentions that they just had this conversation and Clarke doesn’t know what to do. This is the first time that she has the chance for a very promising position but in L.A.? She doesn’t know what to do. What about her and Lexa? They just moved in together and they would have to be in a long-distance relationship if Clarke agrees to this job. She has to think everything through at first. This is going to be one of the hardest decisions she’s ever made.
