Alex softly exhaled in contentment as she laid nude, sprawled across Astra's lap, who was equally nude, running her fingers along Alex's bare back in light, absent-minded patten.
"What are you thinking about?" the Kryptonian wondered suddenly.
"Nothing," Alex murmured "why?"
"No reason. Just curious"
"Mhmm...curiosity killed the cat, you know" Alex chuckled.
"Are you implying that I'm some sort of feline?" Astra laughed.
"Well, you've got the slinky bit down pat," Alex retorted, shifting partway onto her side "what are you thinking about?" she asked.
"Well, I was thinking about whatever was going on inside your lovely mind, but now I'm wondering why you're comparing me to a cat" Astra chuckled, leaning back against the pillows and absently toying with the hair at the nape of Alex's neck.
"I'm comparing you to a cat because you remind me of one" Alex declared, snuggling up to her.
"If you say so, love," Astra shrugged, chuckling as Alex's hand smoothed up her side to gently cup one breast "did you want to play?" Astra chuckled.
"Up to you," Alex grinned "I just want to be as close to you as possible"
"Ah, now that I can provide" Astra grinned, gently pulling her up into a soft, open-mouthed kiss...
