Work Text:
Vi stood alone in the shower, hot water pouring over her. She still hadn't really adjusted to how nice this shower was. She'd been using it daily for the last few weeks but the bright tiles, the lavish accents, and the gilded plating all left her feeling alien to the room she was in.
But it was Caitlyn's, so she still felt welcome at the same time.
She embraced that feeling tighter in an effort to quiet the myriad of thoughts swirling in her mind. Alongside the shower, it worked well enough. The warmth of the water and the sense of belonging was doing more to shut her mind up and relax her muscles than she could ever manage by herself and she was intent on relishing every second of it.
There had just been too much going on the last few days. Weeks. Months. Hell, years, for that matter.
Every time it seemed like things would finally calm down, they just got worse and worse. Silco. Ambessa. Viktor. …Jinx. And the nightmare that everything had devolved into. The nightmare that had taken so much from so many. Even now, she couldn't bear to dwell on it for very long. But sometimes her mind just wouldn't let go.
Most times, really.
It had been nearly a month now since "Piltover's Last Stand" and some semblance of peace and normalcy was finally returning to the world around Vi. Of course, things weren't really normal, but they were as close as they'd ever be again.
'Could I have done more…? Maybe I could've made a different future if I'd just tried harder. If I'd just done better. If only I'd…'
"Stop that," she muttered to herself. "Don't do this again. Every time you're alone, you start beating yourself up. You did everything you could…so stop being stupid…"
"You're a lot of things, Vi, but 'stupid' isn't one of them."
The all-too-familiar voice that echoed off the tiled walls and floors brought a small grin to Vi's face despite the vortex of frustration raging in her mind. If anyone could break through that maelstrom, it was her.
"About time," Vi called out, forcing a bit of levity into her tone. She was unwilling to turn and betray the look of muted sadness she almost certainly wore. "If you were any later, all the hot water probably would've been gone."
So she'd tease instead, try to focus on the positive things around her instead of always dwelling on the negative. Try to focus on the one good thing left in her life, the girl she was so deeply in love with.
"Wouldn't that be your fault for not waiting for me?" Caitlyn shot back, her tone playful.
The quip brought a real smile to Vi's face at last.
"It was getting late and I was cold and impatient; sometimes you just gotta take what you want, Cupcake."
Vi felt a pair of slender arms wrap around her waist, soft hands coming to rest on her hips. A moment later, a familiar feeling of longing welled up within her as Caitlyn's lithe body pressed up against her back.
"Like we did with each other?"
Vi couldn't help the light laughter that slipped through her lips.
"Something like that, yeah."
"Are you okay, Vi?" she whispered, all traces of teasing evaporating from her voice in an instant. Her embrace tightened, a warm, comforting hug from behind that now served as an anchor against the spiral into negativity and depression that threatened to consume her.
She nestled into Caitlyn's embrace, pulling her girlfriend's arms even tighter around her.
"Better now."
"I'm sorry I was so late tonight."
"It's okay. I know you've had a lot going on lately."
"I'm never too busy for you, though."
Vi felt the corners of her lips twitching a few times before she succumbed to the flirtation and felt a very genuine smile steal her face.
"That a promise?"
"Would I lie to you?"
"Heh. Point taken."
"Look at me?"
Vi turned slowly, Caitlyn loosening her grip just enough so she could maneuver. She shivered a bit, feeling her wet skin slide across that of the slender woman behind her. Finally, they were facing each other,
Caitlyn's hair was fully down, cascading across her perfect shoulders like a waterfall. A vibrant, blue waterfall that begged Vi's gaze to follow its silky waves lower and lower until they dissolved into supple skin. She lost herself for a moment, her eyes tempted by her lover's body. It wouldn't have been the first time – where those waves ended, the most incomparably attractive figure continued far lower.
But her gaze was drawn right to Caitlyn's cerulean eye instead as a pair of soft hands came to rest against her cheeks, gently vying for her attention. The eyepatch her partner had worn since the battle at the Hexgate was still on her face, but Vi was immediately drawn in by her soft words before her mind could process much else.
"I can tell there's a lot on your mind," Caitlyn started, her expression filled with warmth and concern. "If you want to talk about any of it, I'm right here."
Vi felt warmth surge through her body, far deeper than the heat of the shower could ever manage to reach.
"I know. I promise I know that. It's nothing new that's on my mind, just the same stuff it has been for weeks now."
"You've been through so much…"
"We both have," Vi corrected, her voice gentle. "It's not a competition, but you've had more than your fair share of struggles too, Cait."
"You're right. But that doesn't mean we won't get through this together. Things may be different than we wanted, but not all our happiness is gone. We still have each other, after all."
Vi reached out and placed her hand atop Caitlyn's, lacing their fingers together. Somehow, she always chased all the bad thoughts away. Somehow, she was always the brightest light shining in the darkness of the world.
"God, I love you so much."
Caitlyn leaned in and placed a soft kiss to Vi's lips, a chill of longing scurrying down her arms and back. Her partner lingered for a few seconds after their lips separated, those chills growing stronger.
"And I love you, Vi."
Her self-control was starting to slip as she finally succumbed to temptation, her eyes drinking in Caitlyn's body. She was gorgeous in every sense of the word. Her heart was beautiful and kind, her character was strong and unwavering…her figure was slim and sculpted.
Her lips, soft and inviting…
Her legs, long and toned…
Her chest, full and hypnotic…
'Goddamn…'
"How the hell are you so hot?" she muttered under her breath. They were far too close for Caitlyn to miss her words, however, and she gave a playful smirk in return.
"I never really thought I was but it's the first thing you ever complimented me for."
"I guess I did say that pretty early on, didn't I?"
"Don't worry, it was flattering."
"Got any plans the rest of the night, gorgeous?"
"Nothing that doesn't involve you."
"Good."
Vi grabbed Caitlyn's shoulders and spun her around, pressing her against the wall of the shower a second later. Caitlyn's bright eyes widened as a grin crept across her face. It wasn't the first time they'd been unable to resist the allure of the other at the drop of a hat.
Nor was it the first time this had happened while they'd shared the shower.
"You missed me that much?" Caitlyn purred into her ear.
Vi shivered and pressed herself against her lover.
"I always miss you when you're gone; you know that."
"Are you going to show me how much?"
"That's definitely the plan."
"Then how about we combine it with my own?"
"Oh? What'd you have in mind?"
"I might've been a bit later than usual joining you in the shower because I was getting our bedroom ready for some…alone time."
Vi felt her heart flip in her chest. Caitlyn had done this three times before tonight and it always meant several hours of indulging in their desires and spoiling each other as deeply as they could manage.
"Now that sounds like a good plan, better than mine even."
"Want to help me wash up before we get started with the rest of the night?"
"You have no idea how much."
"I think I might."
Vi leaned in and kissed her lover, unable to fully hold back her desire any longer. Caitlyn's lips were always so soft and welcoming; every time they pressed against her own, it was as if she were casting a spell over Vi, a spell she never wanted to break free from. It wasn't long before their embrace grew hungrier, their arms drawing the other in tight until there was no space at all left between their bodies, their lips parting and allowing their tongues to explore unimpeded.
After a few moments, Vi finally managed to pull back, breathless and impatient. She wanted with every fiber of her being to keep going…but if Caitlyn had gone to the effort of preparing a special night together for them, then she wanted to make sure they got to enjoy it.
'Besides, we've done this in the shower more than the bed at this point…'
"Something wrong?" Caitlyn asked, her cheeks redder than they had been a minute ago.
"No, nothing. Just didn't want to spoil your hard work by being too eager."
"How thoughtful of you."
Vi stepped back and gestured to the falling water still pouring from the shower head.
"Well then, wanna come join me?"
"Just as fast as I can," she agreed with a grin, pushing off the wall and approaching.
Vi did her best to keep her longing in check as Caitlyn crossed the short distance between them. Every time she laid eyes on her naked body, though, it was as if someone had lit a fire within her that there was only one way to extinguish. Her fingers twitched, eager to run across every square inch of her lover's skin. There was a prickling sensation down her body, the desire to feel Caitlyn's lips all over her.
"Give me a hand and we can get out of here even faster," Caitlyn suggested, snapping Vi out of her daze.
The young woman had already stepped into the rainfall and Vi felt her mouth go dry as she watched the water cascade down her girlfriend's perfectly sculpted figure.
"Faster sounds good to me," Vi finally agreed.
Caitlyn gave a light giggle.
"It's not like you to want to rush through a shower together."
Unable to resist her any longer, Vi stepped closer and wrapped her up in a tight hug from behind, feeling Caitlyn's breath hitch in her chest and her muscles tense. She leaned close to her ear and murmured to her in a low voice, even as her hands trailed along her smooth stomach.
"If we don't do this fast enough, I won't be able to keep my hands from doing a lot more than just this."
Caitlyn leaned into Vi's embrace and tilted her head to the left, nuzzling her cheek.
"Let them do whatever they want. I don't mind."
Vi took a shaky breath before reaching out to the side and taking a bottle of Caitlyn's floral scented body wash.
"Then stay right there; they have a surprise for you."
She lathered the soap between her hands before drawing closer to Caitlyn again, placing her strong hands on her partner's shoulders and spreading it across her skin. She made sure to dig in just a bit with her thumbs as she did so, the start of a well-deserved massage.
Caitlyn let slip a soft moan and leaned deeper into Vi's touch. While this still sent a strong shiver of longing through Vi, she had a new focus for the moment. Caitlyn's shoulders were so tense. She was always taking on too much, always putting more than was fair on her own plate and trying to endure the burden alone. Even if she wasn't in charge of all of Piltover anymore, she still had far too much stress in her daily life that Vi couldn't completely take away for her.
She deserved to relax and be spoiled for a little while at the very least.
Forgetting that she was supposed to be using the soap for anything else, Vi continued with her massage, letting her fingers work out the knots in her lover's shoulders. Caitlyn sighed contentedly and all but melted into Vi's embrace.
Her smart hands focused on Caitlyn's shoulders and neck first but soon moved down to the muscles in her upper back. It would be easier lying down of course…but once they were lying down in bed, Vi had a feeling she'd be unable to hold herself back any longer and the massage would never get finished.
"This feels incredible," Caitlyn managed, her voice falling listlessly from her lips.
"Good. You deserve it, Cupcake."
"And you're sure I'm the sweet one? You're taking such good care of me."
"You do the same for me, you know. Every chance you get."
A small gasp of surprise sounded from Caitlyn as Vi's hands slid around to her chest, squeezing her breasts with deliberate fingers. She had just been unable to resist any longer. Her partner let slip a soft moan of pleasure, immediately lighting a fire in Vi's core. She wanted to hear that sound again.
Louder.
She leaned in and pressed her lips against her lover's neck, settling on the place that she knew would get the best response – left side, directly between her collar bone and jaw line. Caitlyn leaned into it, tilting her head to allow her easier access. So Vi continued kissing and sucking and nibbling in all the ways she knew felt best for her girlfriend.
"Mm, Vi…"
"Should I stop?" she managed between peppering light kisses on supple skin.
"If you don't…I might just pin you against that wall and take you all for myself right now."
Vi felt the fire in her core grow hotter in an instant. Caitlyn usually only spoke like that when she was very turned on…
"Do you even know how attractive it is when you say things like that?"
"I'm serious, too. Your choice, darling – do we finish washing up and go get in bed?" Caitlyn reached up and placed her hand against Vi's cheek, drawing her forward until she could whisper right into her ear. "Or do we just stay right here and screw each other senseless?"
Vi's whole body trembled as she felt her desire threaten to overflow completely.
"You are so goddamn hot."
"Is that a…" Caitlyn trailed off, reaching out with her other hand and resting it atop Vi's own.
She took a quick moment to compose herself. Between the temperature of the water and how desperately she wanted Caitlyn, it was getting far too hot. She worried she might actually pass out if things got any more intense than they already were.
"Let's finish up in here and go enjoy the bed you got ready for us."
"I like the sound of that," Caitlyn agreed. "Better hurry, though. You're not the only one who can barely control herself."
Caitlyn wrapped the towel she had been drying with around her body and shook a few damp strands of hair from her face, tossing the second towel she'd used on her hair on the nearby countertop. The water was finally off but the bathroom itself was still filled with steam, the mirrors having fogged up as usual. Vi was close by, wrapped in a fluffy white towel of her own, her grey eyes shimmering with love and longing.
Caitlyn loved the way Vi looked at her – the sweetest mixture of adoration and a desire to protect. She had long learned that Vi didn't think of her as incapable; she simply wanted to keep anything bad from happening to her. And Caitlyn really couldn't blame her for that; she'd lost almost everyone else in her life at this point.
It broke Caitlyn's heart to think about.
"Your hair dry enough to get right in bed or should we wait for a bit?"
She snapped out of her thoughts as Vi's voice echoed around the room. Now wasn't the time to dwell on things like that. She had done her best to prepare a special night alone for the two of them and there was no way she was going to waste it thinking about the bad instead of focusing on the good.
Besides, Vi had done a pretty good job of getting her worked up in the shower despite both their best efforts to hold back…
"My hair's fine," she answered, brushing the same few loose strands out of her face again. "But give me a minute or two to swap my eyepatch; I shouldn't leave this one on when it's wet like this."
Vi frowned and walked closer, placing a hand on Caitlyn's upper arm.
"You don't have to wear that around me," she began. "But do whatever you're comfortable with; you know I'll never judge you either way."
Caitlyn took Vi's hand and lifted it up to her cheek, nuzzling against the callouses on her palms. They were always a little softer after she was freshly showered, but they were still there. A testament to her strength in overcoming so many challenges and struggles in her life.
"I know you won't, Vi. Thank you. Give me some more time to adjust to things and I'm sure I'll be fine without it when it's just us. It's not like my eye's completely gone anyway, just useless."
"I'll never forgive that witch for hurting you like that."
Caitlyn's heart skipped a beat just as it always did whenever Vi got defensive of her.
"Hey, I came out of that battle a lot better off than she did."
Vi's face softened again as a light laugh escaped her lips.
"That's true. Besides, I think you look damn good in that eyepatch."
"You do?"
"Very sexy. Nobody else could pull it off like you do."
"As long as you like it, then I'm happy. And anyway, I still have one good eye to see how very attractive you are; that's more than enough."
A small grin crept across Vi's face at the compliment. She reached out and placed her hand against Caitlyn's other cheek, leaning and pressing their foreheads together.
"And it's a beautiful eye. But you know, that doesn't make the other one ugly."
"What?"
Caitlyn was genuinely surprised by that comment. She knew Vi would never say anything hurtful about her eye, but she had thought negative things about it herself many times. She hated the way her left eye looked now. She hated it just a little bit more every time she saw it in the mirror.
She felt like her new appearance ought to come with a sense of pride; it was a trophy of war, a sign that she had overcome a powerful adversary and escaped with her life. But every time she caught a glimpse of it in the mirror, it made her feel disfigured and unsightly instead.
That was the real reason she wore the eyepatch at home, in the shower, even in bed – she didn't want others to see that eye, of course, but more than that, she didn't want to accidentally catch a glimpse of it with what remained of her vision, not even for one second.
'But Vi really thinks…?'
"Both your eyes are beautiful, Cait. They're yours, after all. And I think every part of you is beautiful. Nothing will ever change that."
"I…"
Caitlyn couldn't put together a response before Vi leaned in and placed the whisper of a kiss against her lips. By the time she could even think to respond, Vi was already pulling back.
"Come on, Cupcake. We're wasting moonlight," she whispered, her breath splashing against Caitlyn's lips even still.
She finally shook herself from her daze and allowed a genuine smile to spread across her face.
"Thank you, Vi. You go ahead; I'll be right behind you."
"You better be," she teased with a grin and a wink. Turning on her heel, Vi slipped out the door, easing it shut behind her again.
Caitlyn turned back towards the mirror, which was finally defogging enough that she could see herself in it. The young woman reached up and removed the damp eyepatch from her face, feeling the outside air against her left eye for the first time in close to twenty-four hours. She placed her hand on her cheek just beneath her wounded eye and forced herself to really look at it for once.
Piltover's top doctors had done what they could to save her sight, but it hadn't worked; that eye was all but useless to her. But they had at least managed to repair the damage done to it to the point that she wasn't at risk of developing an eye infection or any other complications. It really was just a scarred waste of tissue now…a reminder of things she'd lost.
'But Vi…said it's as beautiful as it used to be…'
For the first time since the injury had happened, Caitlyn put her damp eyepatch down and didn't replace it with another. Instead, she took the spare towel she had used on her hair and patted the area dry before taking a deep breath, holding her head high, and walking towards the door with nothing on her face.
When she emerged into the bedroom again, she quickly took in her handiwork once more. When she'd returned home a short while ago, she'd found that Vi was already in the shower and a plan had quickly taken form in her mind. She had drawn the curtains to give them plenty of privacy, securing the doors to make sure no one else in the house bothered them. The home she'd grown up in was sparsely populated for its size, so rarely was she disturbed without expecting it. And certainly since Vi had started living there, nobody had barged into her room unannounced, but she still wanted to be sure.
She had dimmed the lights to set the mood, a soft glow illuminating the large room enough that they would be able to see but not bright enough that they would feel like they were under spotlights. And finally, she had made sure to prepare the bed, pulling back the blanket and preparing the pillows so they could just get right in. It wasn't particularly difficult work, but for that sight to greet Vi upon exiting the shower was sure to spell out Caitlyn's plans for the evening in no uncertain terms.
It seemed to have done the trick, too. As Caitlyn glanced around the room, she quickly spotted Vi lying beneath the covers in bed, her towel having been discarded lazily by the bathroom door. Laughing to herself, she thought about doing the same, but stopped as Vi immediately propped herself up on her elbow, worry etched onto her face.
"Cait…I didn't pressure you into not wearing your eyepatch, did I?"
Her heart was flooded with warmth and delight at those words alone. Vi was so kind and caring towards her. It was enough to melt her completely most times. Maybe all the time, honestly.
"Not at all, promise," she assured her girlfriend. "But I decided that if you thought my eye was still beautiful…then maybe I should try not to hate it so much myself."
"Well, I've got some news for you then," Vi began, beckoning her closer. She crossed the room and sat on the edge of the bed, watching as the young woman with pink hair leaned in close and pressed her forehead to Caitlyn's own yet again. Vi made such strong eye contact with her that it almost made her shiver.
"You shouldn't hate anything about yourself, and definitely not your eyes. They're both just as beautiful as they were the day I met you."
"Vi…"
"You're absolutely gorgeous. All of you."
Caitlyn couldn't hold back the well of positive emotions flooding through her any longer and pressed her lips against Vi's harder than she'd meant to. This earned quite the response from Vi, who began to undo the towel still covering Caitlyn's body in a manner she could only describe as 'voracious.' Impatient fingers slipped the fluffy material from around her figure, exposing her completely. The cool air of the bedroom enveloped her naked body and she shivered, still used to the heat of the bathroom.
"Come here and I'll keep you warm," Vi purred into her ear. With that simple act, the last of Caitlyn's self-control vanished.
She pushed Vi down onto the bed, earning a surprised grin from her lover, before descending upon her. Caitlyn pressed her body down atop Vi's, pulling the covers over them before giving her a sly smile.
"Actually, I think it's my turn to spoil you a bit. You took such good care of me in the shower, after all."
"Mm, I think I like the sound of that."
"Oh, you're going to love it. Trust me."
Caitlyn lowered her mouth to Vi's neck, placing gentle kisses against her pale skin. Vi let slip a content sigh and relaxed into the bed, watching Caitlyn with longing eyes. All the while, Caitlyn's eager hands began to explore the veritable treasure hidden away beneath the blanket and her own body. She shifted out of the way and let her right hand rest on her lover's stomach before slowly tracing her fingers upwards.
Vi squirmed beneath her, her impatience growing. Caitlyn couldn't help but grin as she continued inching ever higher, coming into contact with her breast at long last. A small gasp sounded from below her as Caitlyn massaged Vi's chest, kneading and squeezing in all the right places.
"Mm, you weren't kidding about barely holding back in the shower, were you?" Vi managed between shallow breaths.
"Not even a little."
Nimble fingers zeroed in on their goal, drawing Vi's nipple between them seconds later. As a tremor passed down her lover's body, Caitlyn gazed into her eyes as she began roll the stiff nub between her thumb and index fingers, pinching ever so slightly. She got the response she wanted immediately – Vi moaned and arched her back, Caitlyn taking the opportunity to snake her left arm beneath her and pull her in closer.
Vi looked at her, grey eyes sparkling with longing, before placing her hand against the back of Caitlyn's head and pulling her into a hungry kiss. It was completely different from the gentle, supportive kiss Vi had given her before she left the shower; their tongues were dancing a desperate ballet before she even knew it, causing her to pinch and roll and squeeze and massage with more intensity by the second.
Caitlyn felt chills of longing explode down her arms and back as Vi grabbed her hair and pulled gently, moaning into her mouth at the same time. She sounded so vulnerable right now; it was a side of Vi that was so very special to see. She could come off as aloof and unapproachable to most others, especially if you didn't know her. She was protective but intimidating. Selfless but standoffish. Kind but aggressive.
A paradox.
And to add to the paradox was this side that only Caitlyn got to witness, the side of Vi that melted like putty in her hands when they were together like this. The side that moaned and mewled for her, that arched her back and pulled her in and clung tight to her.
The side of her that was for Caitlyn alone.
As their hungry kissing continued, Caitlyn released her hold on Vi's chest, her hand sliding down her lover's stomach again. This time, she pressed onwards, lower and lower until her slender fingers come to rest on Vi's inner thigh, teasing the apex of her desires with a feathered touch.
Vi's breath caught in her chest in anticipation as Caitlyn lingered far too close without actually moving the last few inches of her journey. When the moment lasted a little too long, Vi's impatience overwhelmed her and she broke their kiss for a moment, huffing playfully.
"Come on, Cait…are you really gonna make me beg?"
"I was thinking about it," Caitlyn whispered into her ear. She could feel the shivers cascade down Vi's body at her words.
But she wouldn't be keeping complete control of the situation this time.
It was Caitlyn's turn to gasp in surprise as Vi's strong hands seized her butt and squeezed. She was already more than turned on enough; even that simple action was almost too much to maintain her composure through.
"That's not fair," Caitlyn all but whined. It was a voice she'd never allow anyone but Vi to hear.
"What are you gonna do about it?" Vi teased, grinning up at her.
The surprise on Caitlyn's face slowly morphed into a devilish smirk.
"This."
With renewed vigor, she slipped her hand between Vi's legs, delighting in the sight of her lover's face twisting in pleasure. She moaned again, arching her back right into Caitlyn's body.
"Ohh, Cait."
Caitlyn let her fingers tease and rub against Vi, easily feeling how aroused she was. She pressed her middle finger in a bit more firmly, searching for just the right spot to really make Vi tremble.
"You're so worked up already," Caitlyn whispered into her lover's ear before nibbling on her earlobe.
Vi squirmed and shuddered beneath her, her hands relinquishing their hold on Caitlyn's butt to instead wrap around her back and pull her in as tight as she could.
"Of course I am. Have you ever actually looked at yourself in the mirror after you shower?"
"I'm not all that special. But you, on the other hand…"
"Shut up and kiss me."
Caitlyn felt a surge of pride as Vi yanked her down into another hungry kiss. She was so needy she couldn't even tease anymore. That was usually a sign that Vi was well past the point of just wanting Caitlyn to make her orgasm; she was desperate for it.
Her insistent fingers finally found the exact spot she'd been searching for and she could all but feel the lightning bolt of pleasure that shot through Vi's body. Caitlyn began to rub the incredibly sensitive nub, delighting in the feeling of her lover's body all but thrashing around beneath her.
Vi pulled away and broke their kiss, gasping for air now.
"Oh god, Cait, please."
Not one part of her wanted to tease anymore. All she wanted was to pleasure Vi fully and completely.
"Don't worry, I won't stop," she whispered into her ear again. It was something she had come to realize Vi enjoyed quite a bit. But the time for focusing on gentle whispers had come and gone.
Caitlyn began to shift her body, sliding further down beneath the blanket, her slender fingers rubbing Vi insistently. This time, she let her mouth settle on Vi's breast, placing her lips around the nipple and running her tongue across it.
Vi twisted around beneath her incessant pleasuring, losing herself to the throes of satisfaction a bit more with each passing second. Caitlyn, feeling her partner's growing desperation, grazed her nipple softly with her teeth. Immediately, Vi let out a loud moan, her left hand twisting into the bed sheets and her right flying to Caitlyn's hair, pulling just the right amount to send shivers of delight down her whole body once more.
As the hand between Vi's legs began to speed up its rhythm, so too did the intensity of her sucking increase. Caitlyn ran her tongue over her lover's stiff nipple and relished in the gasps and groans of ecstasy that rushed forth from the gorgeous woman beneath her. Vi's body was beginning to thrash around again, her breath coming in short, ragged gasps.
Caitlyn pressed onwards, focused on delivering every little sensation that she could to bewitch her partner into the release she so needed. Vi's hand suddenly abandoned Caitlyn's hair and joined the other to tangle in the bedsheets, twisting fiercely.
She was almost at her limit now.
"Cait…oh, I'm close…please…"
Caitlyn lifted her mouth before locking eyes with Vi.
"Then how about I really spoil you?"
Caitlyn began to slide lower, kissing all the way down Vi's stomach and stopping just below her hips, pulling the blanket down with her as she went. She slowed the movements of her hand pulling it away entirely, feeling a tremor of longing pass through Vi's body. But she wouldn't have to wait long for more.
Caitlyn gazed up at Vi through the top of her eye and saw a look of precarious anticipation etched onto her lover's face. She gave one last coy smile before descending upon her, her lips and tongue finally pressing firmly between Vi's legs.
Vi moaned louder than she had all night, her hands abandoning the sheets and instead settling on the back of Caitlyn's head in an attempt to urge her deeper. A shiver of longing coursed through Caitlyn's own body as Vi's legs came up around her, those toned thighs tantalizingly close now.
In a fit of longing all her own. Caitlyn pushed Vi's hands from her head for just a moment and seized her thighs, pulling them in tight before her hands settled on her hips, letting her mouth and tongue devour her lover. Vi's eyes were screwed shut, a look of pure need having eclipsed her beautiful face. One of her hands tangled in Caitlyn's hair again as the other returned to desperately gripping the sheets.
'She's so close now…almost there, darling.'
Caitlyn could feel the deep yearning surging through Vi's body with every flick of her tongue, every caress of her lips. She delighted in the feeling of her lover beginning to rock her hips rhythmically towards her and the deep sense of arousal that coursed through her own body only made her more determined to pleasure Vi as wholly as she could.
"Oh, fuck! Cait!"
Caitlyn felt the heat of anticipation and excitement well up in her own core. Hearing Vi call her name so desperately like that was one of most amazing feeling she'd ever experienced. It drove everything else in her reality completely out of focus. Nothing else in the world mattered. Nothing else in the world existed. It was just the two of them, alone together.
And she wouldn't waste a single moment of that precious time.
Caitlyn doubled her efforts, her mouth worshipping Vi as she pushed her closer and closer to her limit. Her own breathing was shallow now; she was far too excited to keep a semblance of calmness or control. The coy confidence she had started with had long given way to simple, ravenous desire. She wanted to pleasure her girlfriend. She wanted to make her squirm and squeal and explode. There was nothing subtle about it any longer.
Vi was so desperately close to orgasm now. She needed it so badly. It was something Caitlyn had been fortunate enough to witness many times these last several weeks, but each time felt new and special. A beautiful, perfect moment for only the two of them to share. Vi's entire body tensed up, every muscle seeming to activate at once, and Caitlyn knew this was it. She kept her pace consistent and steady, drinking in Vi's moaning and squirming until, at long last, she finally pushed her lover over the edge.
Vi cried out in ecstasy as pleasure overwhelmed her, exploding throughout her entire body. Her hips rocked against Caitlyn's mouth as the release finally found her, but the young woman with blue hair didn't stop. She continued to run her tongue over every pleasing spot she could find, hold Vi's quaking thighs steady, suck lightly here and there, extend the moment as long as she possibly could. She was rewarded by several more seconds of shaking and gasping and moaning, all the delightful sounds coming from above her.
When Vi's convulsions of deep pleasure finally gave way to the trembling aftermath, Caitlyn slowed down and gradually came to a stop. At last, she moved her face away and released her grip on Vi's thighs. Thoroughly spent, her legs collapsed back onto the bed and Caitlyn giggled to herself, scooting upwards towards the pillows again. She fell onto her side next to Vi, pulling the blankets back up around them and watching her partner. Vi was breathing hard, her cheeks red, as she turned her gaze towards her. It was a mixture of disbelief and delight that filled Caitlyn with pride and satisfaction.
"Where did all that come from?" Vi managed at last, still catching her breath.
"What do you mean? I've done that before."
"I know, but that felt…different. More intense, I guess."
Caitlyn gave her a soft smile, reaching out and taking her hand, lacing their fingers together.
"It was probably because of what you said after our shower, honestly."
"About your eyepatch?"
"Mhm. I never thought I'd want to leave that thing off for the rest of my life. But…you made me feel beautiful even with my eye the way it is."
Vi rolled onto her side, reaching out and brushing her thumb across the skin just beneath Caitlyn's wounded eye.
"You are beautiful. You're the most beautiful girl in the world, Cupcake."
"Vi…"
It was Caitlyn's turn to be taken by surprise as Vi leaned in and placed a gentle kiss to her lips. She pulled back a moment later, locking onto both eyes with her soft gaze. She didn't shy away for an instant.
"I mean it. Every part of you. This eye included."
She leaned in again and placed a gentle kiss on the same spot her thumb had brushed against.
"You're very sweet, Vi."
"That's not all that's beautiful though. There's a whole lot more than just that," she whispered.
Vi lifted herself up onto her elbow, her strong left arm snaking around Caitlyn's midsection and her lightly calloused fingers coming to rest against her back. Caitlyn felt a shiver pass down her body, emanating from the exact spots Vi's fingers had touched her skin. It was as if little pinpricks of electricity had shot through her from the subtle contact alone.
"Do you mean that?" Caitlyn murmured, her eyebrows arching upwards. She had been trying to come off playful. She wasn't sure she'd managed it, though, not for how strong the sense of longing was that had just flooded her body.
"I definitely mean it. For starters, you have such a beautiful face. The most beautiful face in the world," Vi began, leaning in and placing a soft kiss on her cheek.
Caitlyn was a bit surprised by how delicate the motion was given the circumstances. Usually, they could barely keep their hands off each other, throwing clothing over their shoulders and diving into bed, their actions desperate and unyielding. But Vi was being so patient right now. It was a rare sight to see.
And quite enthralling, too.
"Your lips are beautiful."
She placed another soft kiss upon Caitlyn's lips and her heart skipped a beat. She felt her breath catch in her chest as she met Vi's gaze. Her grey eyes were sparkling with a soft adoration that made Caitlyn swoon like nothing else in the world could hope to manage.
"Your neck…"
Vi continued lower, peppering slow, soft kisses all over the skin between her chin and collar bone. She hit every right spot, chills of need and longing beginning to scurry down Caitlyn's back.
"Your arms."
Vi kissed down every inch of Caitlyn's right arm before lifting her hand into hers and placing a gentle kiss along each finger as well. This was something she'd never done before and Caitlyn was melting into the delicacy and intimacy of it all.
Vi pushed her gently onto her back, earning a light gasp from her lover. Caitlyn waited in anticipation for what came next. Vi's eyes, half-lidded with desire, searched her up and down before she lowered her mouth again, meeting her partner's gaze directly.
"Your chest."
Caitlyn let slip a soft groan as Vi's lips placed teasing kisses all across her breasts. She was deliberately avoiding giving her too much pleasure and the anticipation was starting to build up within her, like a spring being wound tighter and tighter.
"Vi," she gasped, her need growing with each touch of her partner's lips. "Are you teasing me?"
"Not at all," she murmured. "Just taking some time to appreciate my girlfriend."
Caitlyn said nothing, instead squirming beneath her insistent lips. Finally, Vi placed a hand on her chest, brushing her thumb across a sensitive nipple. Caitlyn squirmed as pleasure shot through her, but Vi didn't let up this time. She rolled the sensitive nub between her fingers as her lips continued their journey down her body, Caitlyn trembling beneath her touch each and every inch of the way.
"Your stomach," she murmured, her breath splashing across Caitlyn's skin.
Vi didn't stop teasing her chest even as she placed little kisses all across her stomach and sides. The combination of so many different and delicate sensations built the tension in Caitlyn's body even further, even tighter. She reached out and took Vi's free hand, squeezing it in her own. Vi returned the gesture, her lips continuing ever lower.
"Your legs…your legs are especially beautiful, by the way."
Caitlyn squirmed around in anticipation as Vi's hands slipped away from her entirely, trailing down her body and settling on her hips. Those insistent lips kissed down her right thigh all the way to her knee before jumping over to her left and making their way back up again. Caitlyn shivered again as Vi hovered just between her legs, that look of subtle longing in her grey eyes winding the spring inside even tighter.
"Vi…"
"Yeah?"
"I've never seen you like this before."
She grinned up at her, that familiar fire returning to her gaze for a moment.
"I just thought it might be a nice change of pace. I always want you so bad I can barely control myself. I still do tonight but…maybe I'm learning from you."
"Learning what, exactly?"
"How to be coy."
Caitlyn felt a shy smile spread across her lips. That wasn't a sensation she was used to feeling with Vi. She really was trying something new.
"You're doing a great job with it."
"I'll give myself a pat on the back for it. But I'm not done with you yet."
"I hope not."
To Caitlyn's surprise, though, Vi began to make her way up her body again, planting little kisses everywhere she went, until their lips met again. Vi pressed her own body tight against Caitlyn and deepened their kiss, but it never felt aggressive at all. Filled with longing and desire, yes, but there was a gentleness to the action that somehow made Caitlyn tremble more than usual.
Her eyes shot open as Vi's fingers pressed between her legs, rubbing and teasing with a maddening delicacy. Caitlyn couldn't resist moaning into Vi's mouth, her hands moving to her girlfriend's back and gripping tight.
Vi pulled back for just a moment, gazing right into Caitlyn's eyes, before she slipped a finger inside. Pleasure and satisfaction exploded through Caitlyn's body with a shocking intensity. She hadn't felt this pent up in a long time, not since the first time they'd gotten intimate in the prison cell. Perhaps it was because of this unyieldingly gentle approach.
"Vi," she gasped, her grip on her lover's back tightening even more.
Vi descended upon her neck again, kissing those particular spots Caitlyn enjoyed most, before a second finger joined the first. It was as if Caitlyn had been stricken by a bolt of lightning, exquisite pleasure surging through each and every nerve of her body. Her nails dug into Vi's skin, unable to control the response she was having.
"Feel good, Cupcake?" Vi's voice was low but still reverberated through Caitlyn's body all the same.
Caitlyn couldn't focus long enough to form words so instead she just nodded, throwing her head back and gasping as Vi's insistent fingers took their time with her. She curled them in and out, in and out, priming her partner for more. And more came quite suddenly when Vi's middle finger came into contact with a singular spot that made Caitlyn all but short-circuit.
"Ohh, Vi," she sighed at last, clinging tighter to her girlfriend.
Vi's eyes only further fogged over with desire at the sound, her ring finger joining the middle in rubbing up against that impossibly sensitive spot inside. Unable to resist the feeling, Caitlyn felt her hips buck forward into Vi's hand, an unguarded mewling escaping her mouth.
Vi's rhythm stayed steady and consistent, her fingers pulling back in concert before sliding all the way in again, rubbing that perfect apex of Caitlyn's need. It was enough to steal her breath away each time. She couldn't help rocking her hips in rhythm with Vi's motions, the two caught in a desperate dance of desire. That spring within her was wound so tight it was about to burst from the tension.
Caitlyn felt her back arch beneath Vi, who leaned in and kissed her again. It was a very soft, chaste kiss, something so at odds with the feelings of intense satisfaction surging through her that Caitlyn lost herself yet again. She screwed her eyes shut, moaning loudly into Vi's mouth.
Her partner pulled back again and slipped her free hand beneath the back of Caitlyn's head, cradling her close. Caitlyn met her gaze, her chest starting to heave as she drew ragged breaths racked with need. Vi's rhythm was unfaltering. Her fingers hit just the right spot every time. Each surge of pleasure was as delicious as it was tantalizing.
Caitlyn was so close to losing all control.
"Vi, I'm…I'm about to…"
"I know," she whispered before pressing her forehead against Caitlyn's own.
Caitlyn's nails dug into Vi's back a little harder than she'd meant them to. She could barely stand the urgency for release any longer. She was right on the edge, about to explode, but still Vi didn't speed up or hurry her along. Those fingers slid in and out in uncompromising rhythm, pleasuring her flawlessly. That spring was coiled so tight now. Too tight. Any more and she'd lose it.
And oh, how she wanted to lose it.
"Vi! Oh, Vi, please," she managed at last, her face twisted with need and longing.
Still, Vi didn't move any faster or slower, nor did she add any force. She just kept gently coaxing Caitlyn towards the inevitable orgasm that would soon overwhelm her. It was almost maddening, but intensely gratifying and enjoyable at the same time. Caitlyn had never experienced anything like it before, two nearly conflicting feelings that somehow worked in perfect harmony in their efforts to satisfy her.
Just when she thought she'd lose her mind if things lasted any longer, Vi leaned in close, placing her mouth right beside Caitlyn's ear. She nibbled on her earlobe, her fingers continuing that insistent way they were pushing her towards release, before finally whispering directly into her ear itself.
"Let go, Cait."
As if her words were the last key to a complex lock, Caitlyn climaxed harder than she ever had before, the release and satisfaction crashing over her entire body. She shuddered and trembled beneath Vi's touch, waves of orgasmic relief crashing over her again and again. She soon felt new chills on top of it all as Vi pulled her body into a tight embrace, her strong arm holding her close. Her lover's fingers were still sliding in and out with the same speed and rhythm, this time serving to further her intense satisfaction.
Caitlyn was quite literally seeing stars.
After several moments of this, Caitlyn barely able to breathe, the intensity began to abate and her body fell back to the bed, thoroughly satisfied. Vi's unbreakable rhythm finally slowed, her fingers gently rocking back and forth a few more times before coming to a complete stop and fully slipping out.
Caitlyn pulled Vi into a kiss without really thinking about it, seemingly catching her girlfriend by surprise. A moment later, though, Vi happily returned it, their lips caressing the other with the same tenderness the last several minutes had been filled with.
When they finally separated and Caitlyn managed to really catch her breath again, she gazed up at Vi in wonder.
"My turn - what was all that? You've never done something like that before," she managed, still seeing a few stars.
Vi gave her an unusually sheepish smile.
"Well, usually I come at you like I've been starving for days," she began, earning a giggle from Caitlyn. "But you've been working so hard lately and you were so tense when I massaged you in the shower; I thought maybe you'd enjoy something a bit more gentle."
Caitlyn reached up and rested her hand against Vi's cheek.
"I really did. That was incredible."
Vi reached up and placed her hand against Caitlyn's.
"Should I do it more like that from now on? I'm still getting the hang of all this, you know."
"I am too. But do whatever you feel like in the moment; I enjoy every bit of it, gentle and starving."
Vi laughed before lying down beside her, their bodies still pressed together. Caitlyn shivered from the cold and realized the blankets had long since been tossed away. That was something else that was pretty common for them – getting so caught up in the moment that the bed was in shambles by the end of it.
Vi reached out and grabbed the end of the covers, managing to pull them back up and atop the two. She wrapped her arm around Caitlyn's stomach, nestling her head just below her shoulder. Caitlyn felt her heart flutter as she pulled Vi in tight and snuggled up against her, her own arms holding her lover close. They relaxed in the silence for several moments, basking in the relaxed embrace they shared.
"Did I ever tell you what I would imagine when I was lying in bed at night as a little kid?" Vi murmured, nestling even deeper into Caitlyn's embrace.
"I don't think you have, no. What was it?"
"I'd imagine making a place that was safe for the people I love. I wanted to bring everyone in my life together and give them all the joy I could. They deserved it and I knew it would make me happiest to see them all like that."
Caitlyn squeezed Vi a little tighter.
"That's beautiful."
"I think…even though it looks pretty different from what I imagined back then…I'm finally getting closer to building that. Here, with you."
Caitlyn didn't interrupt, instead just nuzzling Vi with her cheek to let her know she was there. Her girlfriend snuggled up even closer before continuing.
"Not everything's perfect for either of us, I know. But even if I could change the past into whatever I wanted, make any future I could dream of, I'd never change meeting you. Being with you."
"I'd never change that either, Vi. Not for anything."
"I must've cashed all the good fortune I'll ever have in at once to end up with someone as amazing as you."
"Oh, hush; you're exaggerating."
Vi shifted until she could make eye contact with Caitlyn again, a gentle smile on her face.
"Not even a little."
Caitlyn leaned in again and gave her a soft kiss. It really did feel indescribable to know how deeply Vi valued her. Cared about her. It was unlike anything she'd ever experienced and she never wanted to let go of that sensation.
"I don't always do a good job saying what I really feel," Caitlyn murmured. Vi didn't interrupt, the same soft smile on her face as she listened. "But I want you to know…that you mean the world to me, Vi. I can't imagine my life without you anymore and…honestly, I don't want to."
"I don't either. Sounds like we're in it for the long haul, huh?"
"I wouldn't have it any other way."
"Guess you're stuck with me then."
Caitlyn grinned at her.
"Good. I love you, after all; what kind of girlfriend would I be if you weren't right by my side?"
Vi's smile only grew more dazzling.
"I love you, Cait."
The two snuggled even closer together, Caitlyn rolling onto her side so she could pull Vi tighter against her. Vi gave her another soft smile before reaching out and placing her hand against Caitlyn's cheek.
"Thanks for giving us the evening all to ourselves. Nights like this mean everything to me."
Caitlyn couldn't help the bright smile the eclipsed her face in response.
"They're just as important to me, Vi. You never have to thank me for putting us first; I want to."
"I really hit the jackpot with you, you know?"
"I could say the same thing myself. Maybe we should try gambling together."
The two laughed lightly before cuddling closer again, relaxing into their warm embrace. It wasn't long, though, before Vi's soft voice broke through the tranquil silence.
"What time is it anyway?"
Caitlyn glanced across the room towards the large clock only she had a decent view of.
"It's only nine o'clock."
"No wonder I'm not that tired; the night's still young, after all. So, hey."
"Yeah?"
"Are you so tired we should just cuddle for the rest of the night?" Vi began, a sly grin starting to creep across her face. "Or are you also up for round two?"
Caitlyn couldn't stop the laughter that overwhelmed her a moment later. It was a question very much like Vi. But…she couldn't pretend she felt any differently.
"I've got a lot more energy in me than needing to sleep at nine o'clock," she quipped with a half-smirk. "Round two sounds like a perfect way to keep the night going."
"Mm, then come here, Cupcake."
The two women settled into each other's embrace yet again, their kiss this time much deeper than the last few had been. It never mattered how many times their lips met; it always felt just as special as that first time had. Electric and intoxicating. A feeling Caitlyn was more than happy to let herself become addicted to.
In fact, there was a good chance she'd feel that way about every kiss they shared for the rest of their lives together. And it certainly seemed like there would be too many to count from then on.
