Of Knights and Aliens

Chapter 136

"Not if I get to it first."

Kara pulls the wagon behind her further into the room, barely noticing that it's trailing behind her as she makes her way over to her girlfriend. She leans over and kisses Lena softly, smiling against her lips when her hand comes up to tangle in Kara's hair.

"You look rather dashing, by the way." Lena murmurs as she pulls back slightly to look into her girlfriend's eyes. "I had a hard time keeping my eyes on the wedding."

Lena looks Kara up and down again, taking in the navy blue suit she's wearing again. It fits her in all the best places, especially with her biceps and legs. When Kara flexes, whether intentionally or not, the muscles bulge and strain against the restrictive fabric. If it didn't look so incredibly sexy, Lena would feel bad depriving the world of Kara's beautiful muscles.

Kara blushes but grins. "I noticed that when you didn't let us leave the room for another hour this morning after we had gotten dressed."

Lena's grin turns lecherous. "Mm. And then we had to get dressed again. Thank the Gods you have superspeed, love. Otherwise Lyra would have been even more suspicious as to our tardiness."

"And she still didn't let me eat, even after I worked up my appetite!" Kara complains with a pout.

"Poor thing. Why don't we eat so that we can work up an appetite again." Lena practically purrs, gently tugging on Kara's tie.

"I can guarantee I'm already worked up." Kara's voice is an octave or two higher than normal, her eyes wide as she stares at Lena.

"Mm?" Lena hums, drawing Kara closer to her again.

"You look absolutely gorgeous in that dress." Kara breathes out reverently, her eyes dark with arousal. "Rao, I think looking this beautiful is illegal in some of the more conservative kingdoms."

Lena's cheeks turn slightly pink at the compliment and she smiles softly. She's wearing one of her favorites from a designer friend of hers (acquaintance really, that likes her company because it means they will be getting a lot of money soon). It's a deep red, one of her favorite colors, and shows off a bit of cleavage but not enough to make her feel exposed. It goes down to her mid-thigh, and is made from a stretchy kind of leather that hugs her body. She also knows it's one of Kara's favorite dress types to see her in, so she had this made specifically for the wedding.

"Thank you darling." Lena says softly and pats her lap.

Kara looks surprised and happy when she processes the gesture, sitting down on Lena's lap. She uses some of her floating abilities so that she doesn't hurt Lena or make her uncomfortable.

Kara reaches over and puts some of the food in the wagon onto the table she pulls in front of the armchair they're sitting in. Lena chuckles and wraps an arm around Kara's waist, pressing a kiss to her neck.

"We have things to talk about, don't we Lee?" Kara asks after a few minutes of eating in peace.

"Yes, we do darling. But none of it is bad, remember that." Lena urges softly.

Kara nods and leans back into Lena for a moment, soaking up the warmth and content was in her heart.

"So what's first on the discussion agenda?" Kara asks before stuffing two potstickers into her mouth.

Lena shakes her head fondly, but is silently glad that at least she doesn't talk with food in her mouth as much as she used to.

"First up is how long we want to stay here. We do have responsibilities in the Luthor Kingdom that can't be put off forever."

Kara nods and swallows her potstickers. "I think we could leave tomorrow night or the morning after that, depending on when you want to get back. I know I want to be here when my sister-sisters," she corrects herself, "get back."

"I want to be here for that too, and we still have another week or so until then. We can fly back?"

Kara smiles. "Sounds good to me! Please tell me that you'll let me know if you get queasy or uncomfortable this time."

Lena nods seriously. "I will darling, I promise." Her lips twitch into a shy awkward smile. "I am sorry about that one time, I know that must have freaked you out."

"I was freaking out because you were freaking out! Rao, you seemed like you were on the verge of a panic attack," Kara says worriedly.

"I was. I don't generally like being high off the ground unless I can control it, like if I'm in a tree. I don't like boats, either." Lena admits. "But I am getting better, I trust you."

"It isn't about trust, Lee. It's about your fear. You could have infinite trust in me but still be scared when I fly with you. I won't be offended or anything if you're scared baby. I just want to know so I can adjust what I'm doing," Kara says gently.

Lena's eyes soften and she pulls Kara down for a brief kiss. "Thank you, Kara." She kisses her again, more deeply this time. "You taste like potstickers," she murmurs.

Kara laughs softly, her forehead resting against Lena's. "And you taste like expensive wine. You need to get some food in that stomach if you want to be doing anything with me soon."

Lena chuckles softly. "Yes ma'am."

She jokingly salutes Kara with two fingers, earning a kiss to her cheek before her girlfriend digs back into the leftovers. Kara passes Lena some potstickers, among other things. Lena eats them out of Kara's hand. She does it at first because she doesn't want to move her hand from where it's draped around Kara's waist. Then, she does it because it makes Kara laugh and smile and give her this soft look reserved only for her.

"I love you," Lena says after swallowing a strawberry.

"I love you too."

Okay, so it'll be next chapter that they talk about all this. And I swear I had a Word doc where I planned all this next stuff out, but I can't find it :/ maybe it's in my notes instead. And it's a good thing I didn't try to write this yesterday because I spent 13 hours doing school stuff... But I ended up getting a 96 on my exam today as a result! Though I got a 98 on the first one :/ Oh well! Thank you all for reading and for your lovely comments! Stay awesome!
