I'm - ugh! [ a disgusted sound isn't usually a good prelude to a kiss, but Jen made it one. it lingers on for a moment and the heat on her face is going to be obvious throughout that, and after, when she's propped up on her arms just hovering near Kara's face. ]
Of course I'm not mad. I... already told Lina about what you said to me the other night, and all of us know what the others have been up to with each other until now. [ including the "arrangement", what happened between them around Halloween, and so on. ] So. I ... kind of assumed that was an extension of that.
[ a pout. ] I don't think it was that much of a stretch for my imagination, okay.
[Humming softly around the kiss, Kara catches Jen around the middle and holds her close, not letting her retreat. Her grin turns from sheepish to sly in an instant, and she fails utterly to keep from laughing at that pout.]
I guess not. It just...was an idle comment. I'm not really expecting that to happen, or sure if you guys are comfortable with that, though. If it's something you both want, we can talk it out, or we can just let it go. This goes no further, if you don't want it.
[She pops up and kisses Jen again, quick and light, and then flops back down.]
You know I like indulging you in your fantasies, though. And I'm pretty sure this is one, even if you aren't saying it. I just want you happy...honest.
[ oh god, there's that look on Kara's face again. the sort of look she has trouble resisting. it's a good thing they're in Lina's bed and not either of their own - though, given what she was suggesting, that isn't actually helpful to Jen in the slightest.
the pouts her way through the kiss, glancing away right after. ] I admit nothing. [ which is effectively admitting the thought had crossed her mind once or twice. ]
I'm just. Continually surprised by how thoughtful you are. And open. [ here she gave Kara a sidelong look with a matching smirk. ] And horny.
[Yeah...Jen. She can hear your heart thumping already.]
Heheh...[Kara rolls to the side, pulling Jen down and flipping their positions so she's resting on top and they're basically caught up in a blanket tube.]
I am always willing to try something new with you. And you're always the one to suggest it. So I think maybe it's you that's the horny one.
[Eyes sparkling, she leans further down, lips coming to rest near Jen's ear so she can whisper...]
Not that I mind. You get me going like nobody else.
Eek! [ if it wasn't racing before, it certainly is now. though being constricted as she is by the layers is actually not as much of a turn-on as just having Kara on top of her in any way. and the whispering. ]
You're. D-damn right I do. [ though it's Jen that's going weak in the knees in the moment, so there's no confidence to back up her bolstering. she swallowed a lump and wriggled around some. stupid comforter!! ] Look. Are we... sure Lina doesn't have super hearing too? She's gotten strength back recently. You've seen how buff she's getting.
[ Jen, not all people have the same power set and progression. ]
[Kara holds her close, but flexes her arms a bit to loosen the comforter for Jen. Her head tilts back to listen to the sound of Lina cooking and...pretty normal vitals so...]
She's not listening at the door, and she's not really got an elevated heartrate. It's pretty relaxed, honestly, she seems to enjoy cooking a lot. I think we can talk safely.
[ that is reassuring. and momentarily distracting, too. ] Good. She's enjoyed it ever since she was a kid, you know. I've seen it. Back in the forest.
She ... definitely deserves to be happy, too. Especially after her recent family drama. [ which is something worth mentioning, but she won't delve too deep into unless Kara already knows the details. it's only directly relevant to set the mood anyway. ]
So. If I can do can something nice for her, I want to. I... don't really think I can set a limit on making her happy. Does. That make sense?
[Kara nods, laying down a little to the side so she's not squishing Jen, but they're still touching. No sense in that.]
It makes perfect sense. But...look, if the three of us do this, it's about you too. It's not a decision you make if you're not comfortable with the idea.
[Snuggling in closer to the curve of Jen's neck...Kara rubs it with her nose.]
I am okay with it. I'm definitely okay with doing what I can to make Lina happy, because she deserves so much better than what she's dealing with.
Mm. I know. [ she nuzzles right on back, feeling somewhat calmer and cozier but still on that delightful edge because of Kara's closeness. the whole bed smells of Lina the most, but now there's also the whiff of Jen and Kara mingled in with that. it really lends itself well to thinking about them being together. ]
It's just like you said. I wouldn't have said anything if it wasn't on my mind before. [ freer to move now, Jen pulled a hand free to rest it on Kara's cheek. ] And it would be nice - if it did happen - it was something planned and not too spontaneous. Like. "out of our control" spontaneous.
[Kara chuckles, leaning into the touch. She knew Jen had been thinking that. It was so, so obvious.]
And yes, I agree. I think it's something that the three of us should talk about, and arrange. Today isn't the right time for it. Maybe...Christmas? After we've sat down and set down ground rules.
Right. A Christmas surprise - or, well, not a literal surprise but. Oh! You know what I meant.
[ Jen reveled in the joyful expression, too, going in for a kiss since that worked better than words sometimes. though there were some other words she wanted to share in that moment. ] I love you. I don't think I say that enough.
[ has she. actually said that at all at any time that wasn't heat-of-the-moment (or right thereafter)? likely not. ]
[ she was going to go for "Christmas Miracle" next but she'll leave the Hallmark pretext aside, to save the mood. a very good mood, indeed.
Jen could just lose herself in this moment. she's laying here, stroking the hair and face of the woman she loves, looking her in the eyes and thinking about how they might approach bringing happiness to someone else that she loves. how things have been going so good for her and her mother. how life (momentarily) is calmer in the city and allowing this to happen, largely free of the usual stressful conditions. thinks were really looking up for all of them. ]
Mmmm, I wonder how long until breakfast is ready... I don't know how much longer I can lay here like this and stay peaceful.
[It's a lot to take in, but Kara's happy to bask just like she would in the sun. Laying there, hugging someone important, thinking happy, dreamy thoughts...she's got few other cares in the world. Who'd have known that memories of someone who was dead and deeply troubled, would bring about something so great?]
Mmm. I think we should check. That way Lina doesn't feel left out.
Yeah. I kind of want to see what she's working on, anyway. I'm learning a lot from her about cooking. Maybe soon enough I'll be able to cook you something I'm actually proud of that isn't super basic. [ like a fancy casserole or, if they're doing something for the holidays, a full course meal with a roast and sides and everything. ambitious? probably. ]
Oh. Before we go out there - are you wearing enough under that thing? [ she gives the zipper of the kigu a slight tug. ] It feels soft and... I kind of want to give it a try.
Sounds like a plan. [ a sexy plan. though Jen will restrain herself! as difficult as that is when more of Kara is exposed and she just has to help pull to get the fabric off of her. though at this point Kara can do the rest herself easier, so she shifts onto her back and starts to pull her sleep shorts off. ]
Do you just want these, or do you want to zip over to my room and get something new?
[ it sure would be awkward to be walked in right about now. probably. ]
no subject
...Sheepishly, she smiles.]
...I'm sorry. I just...say things, and I really didn't mean to bring that to mind.
[But she can't help that Jen's mind wandered there.]
You're not mad are you?
no subject

Kissing Jen is so natural and right, but what strikes her more are those words that come.
No, she hasn't said them yet. Not...that Kara can recall outside of playfully. There's some real sincerity to them, she thinks...and...]

And...yeah? I'm wearing an undershirt and panties. Nothing Lina hasn't seen before. And I could always steal one of your shirts.

[Kara wriggles, lowering the zipper more.]

Those are fine. No worries.
[So she'll just take those and slip them on while Jen gets the kigu on.]
