Musician Age Gap AU Pt 14
True to Lena's plan, while the paparazzi on site hounds them for information on Kara, the rest of the world is too taken by the new song to speculate much on who Lena's *current* beau is.
Kara proves to be little more than an escort, following Lena from event to interview to even a hospital to visit the childrens ward. Even so, Kara doesn't mind. She has no thirst for the spotlight at her age, and is content to let Lena be front and center.
At the hospital, however, as she's lurking out of sight from the press cameras (legitimate press, looking for staged candids for the hospital's future use), Kara feels a tug on the hem of her shirt. Looking down, a frail little girl trailing a tattered blanket stares up at her.
"Can you read me a story?"
Without hesitation, Kara reaches for the girl's hand, and they manage to find a relatively isolated corner to huddle in. With a skinny children's book in her hand and the little girl tucked against her side, Kara reads aloud in a low voice, doing her best not to draw attention to herself.
Her efforts are for naught. When she glances up towards the final pages of the book, Lena's gaze is locked upon her, her gaze warm with something indecipherable. Upon being caught staring, she smiles, and cocks an eyebrow to check in. Kara nods, and Lena, satisfied, returns to the gaggle of kids crowded in around her for photos.
Lena is wrangled into a standing meeting with her mother once the children are returned to their nurses and caretakers, leaving Kara to linger on the periphery. To her surprise, Jess is the first to approach.
"Hi!" Jess chirps softly. "Lena has a few friends in town, and they want to take her out tonight before we fly out tomorrow."
Kara's eyebrows lift. "Okay...."
Jess leans in conspiratorially. "My guess is she'll invite you, but by out I mean clubs, bottle service, etc."
At that, realization dawns. "Ah. Thanks for the warning."
She won't mind declining, or spending an evening alone, especially in Paris. As eager to spend as much time with Lena as possible, she's loathe to infringe on Lena's time with friends--
"I don't suppose you brought anything.... appropriate?" Jess continues. "For the club, I mean."
Kara blinks, then barks a laugh. "Hah, no."
Jess nods, grinning. "Thought as much. I can pick up a few options for you, if you'd like..."
After a moment's consideration, Kara nods, smile growing on her face. "I'd appreciate that, thank you."
"Oh, it's no trouble at all! It'll be in your room by the time you get back this evening--"
"Jess?" Kara cuts in, a thought occuring to her. "Could you also pick up some workout gear for me? And maybe... keep all of it a surprise?"
The young woman brightens. "Sure-- do you prefer looser clothes, or more form fitting."
"Tight on the bottom, loose on top, if you can mange it?"
Jess makes a note on her phone, nodding. "Got it." She winks. "We'll put the rack directly in your suite."
"Thank you, Jess, truly."
"Oh," Jess grins, "it's my pleasure."
----
Lena approaches her shortly after, head tilted with an imminent check-in. "Doing okay?"
Kara nods. "Of course. Jess has been taking good care of me."
"Good," Lena purrs. She leans against Kara's chest, kissing her languidly. "I have a question for you."
Guessing it has something to do with the information Jess had imparted early, Kara feigns curiosity. "Uh huh?"
"I'm planning to go out with some friends tonight. Would you.... want to come?"
Kara acts out a thorough consideration of the prospect. In the end, she hedges. "Can I think about it?"
Lena nods. "Of course. And no worries if you'd prefer to take advantage of the time alone. I know this week has been..."
"Wonderful," Kara fills in, bringing a smile to Lena's face.
"Yes," she agrees, "but also a lot. I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to decompress."
With a nod, Kara leans in and kisses her again. "I appreciate that."
---
Lena's day continues until well into the evening, with the final interview wrapping up just before nine. Only the thought of seeing Lena in a new environment, with people who were not her mother, keeps Kara from groaning at the thought that the night was really only just beginning.
They split upon returning to the hotel penthouse, intent on refreshing with their own showers. When she steps out of the bathroom, towel wrapped around her, Kara makes her way to the rolling rack of clothes standing next to the closet.
She bypasses the workout clothes, noting only that Jess had fulfilled her request to a tee. The other half of the rack takes more consideration. Hanger after hanger displays dress after dress, all short, all glitzy. Lifting one of the hangars, Kara holds it against herself in front of the mirror, studiously regarding the figure staring back at her.
This is going to be interesting, she thinks to herself. Then she grins. No, this is going to be *fun*.
An hour later, Kara's putting on her shoes when she hears a soft knock on the door joining her suite with Lena's. "It's open," she calls.
"Hey," Lena issues quietly as she edges into the room. "Just checking in, have you made a decision about..."
Lena's words fall away as Kara rises from the edge of the bed, pulling herself up to her full height-- plus another four inch heels now strapped to her feet. Her hair is loose around her shoulders in waves that glint in the light, and her dress is short and layered with gold fringes.
Kara hasn't looked this good since college, and she feels the difference. She feels sexy, and powerful, and *thrilled* that Lena clearly sees it too.
"Oh," the younger woman breathes. Lena herself is clad in a rhinstone studded mauve dress. It comes to mid-thigh, but hugs every curve of Lena's body like a glove. Her sleek black hair is up in a high pony, the tail straight and shimmery. But her eyes are on Kara, and nothing else.
Kara slowly struts towards Lena with a sultry smile. "Does your offer still stand?"
Lena blinks, dazzled by Kara's beaded fringes. "Huh?"
Reaching out with one hand, Kara tilts Lena's chin up to meet her eyes. "Up here," she says quietly.
"Right. Sorry. Just--" Lena clears her throat. She shakes herself out of her daze. "I guess you're coming."
"If you'll have me."
Lena grins. "I'll have you right here if you'll let me..."
"I think I've been hogging you enough lately," Kara returns. "I wouldn't want to keep your friends waiting."
Even so, Kara takes Lena's hips with both hands, tugging her close enough for a kiss. Lena moans.
"Fuck 'em."
Kara chuckles. "I think that would make a bad impression."
Lena looks at her for a long moment. "You really want to meet them, don't you?"
Brow furrowing, Kara nods. "Of course." She pauses. "Is.... that okay?"
Lena's smile warms. "Yeah. It's just... new." Before Kara can ask what that means, Lena steps free, snapping her clutch shut. "Let's get out of here."
---
The club is glamorous, and clearly catering to a high end crowd. There's a cordoned area for paparazzi, allowing both photographs and unobstructive ingress to the establishment. When Kara slides out of the SUV, she's careful to immediately twitch her skirt down so as not to give the tabloids something new to talk about.
As always, she lets Lena set the pace. Lena takes her hand and leads the way into the club. Her free hand lifts towards the paparazzi as they walk the roped sidewalk to the building, in a wave or to shield her eyes or hide her face, Kara isn't sure. Before she could decide whether to do the same, the door opens to admit them, releasing a wave of music and voices from within.
When the door closes behind them, Lena takes a moment to scan the crowd. No one seems to recognize her, or, more likely, don't care. It allows Kara's gaze to catch on a tall, slender brunette at a both in the back, standing on the bench seat and waving them over.
Kara nudges Lena and points. Lena nods. "That's us!" she calls over the din. "Let's go!"
Lena tugs her through the crowd, and Kara soon finds herself watching as Lena throws her arms around the brunette. The hug is tight but brief, before Lena turns to pull Kara closer. "This is Sam!"
Sam thrusts her hand out, gripping Kara's hand firmly as she leans forward. "Kara! Nice to meet you!"
"And this is Jack!" Lena continues. "And Veronica-- who invited you?"
"Fuck you too!" Veronica returns easily. She eyes Kara up and down. "You're hot! Wanna dance?"
In an instant, Lena's arm loops through Kara's. "Sorry, taken! Bye!"
And then, Lena leads her back to the dance floor. Kara doesn't have the presence of mind to be upset at the introductions being cut short-- not with the way Lena's body soon moves against hers. Her movments aren't choreographed, but they may as well be with how quickly it melts Kara's insides.
For her own part, Kara struggles to find the beat. She eventually tries to mimic the bodies around her, but remains a half beat out of tempo until Lena gently grabs her wrists and guides Kara's hands to her hips.
It's too loud to even attempt to talk, but Lena's actions speak loudly enough. Her body moves sinuously, her hands resting atop Kara's, and with their bodies pressed together, Kara finds herself falling into step with her partner's. Soon, all that exists is the heat of Lena's body, the pulse of the heavy music, and the scent of Lena's perfume.
They dance for two songs before Lena calls a time out. They return to the booth only long enough to collect the others, before they all relocate to a second floor Kara hadn't noticed, where there's just enough air for Kara to hear herself think.
"We're gonna talk," Sam says, leaning in to murmur in her ear. "Later."
There's no malice in her voice, which prompts Kara to give an easy nod. She looks forward to knowing more about Lena's friends-- even if it means she gets a shovel talk or two.
Once they collapse in a booth, a server takes their orders for drinks and food-- for which Kara is grateful. She doubts the hunger in her belly will be sated by small bites from the bar, but it could perhaps tide her over until she and Lena returned to the hotel.
"Well," Jack says pegging Kara with a pointed look. "After that display, I think we deserve to hear how this happened." He gestures towards the pair of them, and Lena giggles.
"Kara barged into my dressing room," she delivers. Her fingers lace between Kara's under the table as she continues to relate the story of their meeting. When she finishes, Jack whistles.
"Quite the whirlwind for you then," he says to Kara. "How are you holding up?"
"Lena's been taking good care of me," Kara says with a smile. "It's been amazing to see her work."
Lena beams back at her. "You've been amazing." She shoots a look towards Jack. "Don't you dare scare her off."
"Only if you give me a dance, darling."
Lena sighs. "All right. Come on, before the food gets here."
Kara slides out of the booth for Lena to exit, and as she sidles past Lena kisses Kara's cheek. "The things I do for you."
"My hero," Kara grins. Lena isn't at all put out by the idea of dancing with her friend, and for all the warning Lena gave him, he didn't seem to be antagonistic about their relationship. She watches them go, glad that Lena has the chance to reconnect with her friends.
"Kara!" Sam calls. She waves Kara back to the table. "Come sit!"
Kara obeys, only for Veronica to slide out. "I'm going to find the restroom. You two have fun!"
Bracing herself, Kara turns to Sam-- who laughs and waves away her tension. "Relax... I'm not Lena's keeper. She's clearly into you, and you don't seem to be an asshole, so. I'm good."
"You're Sam Arias, right?" Kara asks. She hadn't been sure before in the strobing lights, but sitting so close she now recognizes the actress from some of the movies Esme likes.
Sam nods. "I'm filming in Florence right now, so I figured I'd stop by while I could. Jack has a cover shoot in Vienna, so we figured we'd make a night of it."
Warmth floods Kara's chest. She's seen how hard Lena works, and how solitary she's been since Kara met her. The fact that she has friends willing to bend their schedules to make time for her when they can speaks volumes.
"Mind if I ask you something?" Sam asks. Kara nods for her to continue. "What do you want out of this?"
Sam's not the first to wonder. The difference is that she's asked, rather than assume like Lillian has.
Kara shrugs. "Nothing Lena isn't willing to give." Sam looks at her, waiting for more. "I'm comfortable. I don't want her money, or her fame."
"Then why drop everything to go on tour with her?"
"Being with her makes me happy."
It's a simple truth, but a truth nonetheless. She can return to National City whenever she likes; Lena has placed no pressure on her to stay. But in National City, Kara's thoughts would stay with Lena, so why condemn herself to being stretched between two locations, when she has the freedom and means to simply stay?
"God, that's refreshing," Sam drawls. She takes a sip of her drink before she gives a broad smile.
"Positively saccharine," comes a dry voice from behind Kara, making her jump. She turns to find another tall brunette lurking over her shoulder. This woman's gaze, however, is far sharper than Sam's.
Sam doesn't seem all that surprised to see their visitor. "Andrea," she greets.
"Samantha."
Andrea sits on the edge of the bench, worming her way in so that Kara is forced to scooch to accommodate her.
"What's interesting," Andrea continues, "is that Lena finally found someone who has absolutely no impact on her career."
Though ostensibly that would be a good thing, the relish glinting in the woman's gaze suggests something much darker.
"Before she's chosen industry people. Singers, actors, reps and so forth. The kind of people who, if crossed, could end her career in a heartbeat. Untouchable."
Andrea leers at Kara, her smile tight and predatory. "But you... mmh."
Kara's features settle into a solemn glare, defensive. "What about me?"
"You're nothing," Andrea responds, as though it's the most obvious thing in the world. "So when you inevitably break her heart, which you absolutely will..." Andrea leans closer. "I'll be able to absolutely demolish you."
"Funny," says Lena, reaching between them to snag her drink. Her face is flushed, upper lip glistening with sweat, but her features are placid. "If only you had put that much care into our relationship *before* it ended."
Andrea blanches slightly, but her features remained solidly antagonistic. "Skimming the gutter, are you, Lena?"
"And happier than during the two years I spent with you," Lena returns smoothly. "Imagine that."
"Get lost, Rojas," Veronica drawls, approaching from the other direction. Andrea is cornered, and she knows it.
She rises stiffly. Moving to leave, she pauses at Lena's shoulders. "Lena--"
Lena scowls. "Please leave."
Andrea hesitates a moment more, but ultimately decides now was neither the time or place to push further. She leaves, and Lena watches her leave with a glower on her face, before she settles onto the bench seat next to Kara.
"Ignore whatever she said to you," Lena says stiffly.
Kara softens. "She cares about you."
"She doesn't get to," comes the sharp retort. "Not anymore."
The message is clear-- Lena does not want to discuss Andrea Rojas.
The mood lightens as Lena's friends expertly steer the conversation away from Andrea's interruption. It's not long until Lena's hackles ease, and she's once more laughing and having fun. Kara relaxes as well, accepting every one of Lena's invitations to dance.
When they leave, it's at Lena's request. Kara's surprised-- Lena's trademark energy still relatively untapped-- until Lena captures her gaze with a heady one of her own. They're on the dance floor when it happens, and Lena leans in to shout into Kara's ear.
"Wanna get out of here?!"
Kara hesitates only a moment, conscious of how Sam and Jack had crossed international borders to see Lena, before she sees Sam not too far off. The brunette's features are astute and smirking, confirming the she understands-- and approves-- exactly what Lena intends.
Before she nods, Kara turns her head to capture Lena's lips as she pulls away. She kisses Lena deeply and soundly, and when she breaks away Lena lists after her. Heavy eyes look up at her, dazed and hungry for more.
"What about your friends?"
"Sam says I've been eye-fucking you all night," Lena calls back. "I'd rather be fucking you for real." She grins. "Respectfully!"
Kara laughs, the sound lost in the music. "Uh huh," she says, mostly to herself. "Then let's go!"
Lena waves at her friends, earning cheeky grins from all three in return. Kara's surprised to see the time is already past 2am. Her blood buzzes in her veins, arousal and anticipation electrifying her nerves.
Kara enters the suv at Lena's slight push, which means when Lena climbs in she plants herself firmly in Kara's lap, hiking up her skirt to straddle Kara's thighs.
"You are so hot tonight," Lena murmurs. "I couldn't keep my eyes off you." She grins. "I wasn't the only one."
Kara blinks. She hadn't sensed anyone staring at her. Then again, she hadn't paid much attention to anyone but Lena.
"I didn't notice."
"I know," Lena purrs, leaning down. Her tongue laves across Kara's throat, before she engulfs all of her senses in a searing kiss. "So fucking hot...."
Kara glances frantically towards the front, hesitant to put on a show for anyone but Lena, but finds that the driver has already rolled up the privacy screen. Kara doubts the screen provides any amount of soundproofing, but it's enough for her to slide her hand under Lena's hitched skirt, cupping a bare ass cheek in her palm.
"Fuck," Kara groans. Her groin tightens, warming with arousal that leaks past her own thong. "Lena--"
"Let me, baby," Lena murmurs beside her ear. She suckles the column of Kara's neck, even as her hand deftly delves under Kara's dress. "I'm gonna make you feel so good..."
Expert fingers find Kara's clit and pause, pressing gently against the throbbing bud. Lena's fingers are warm, but still cooler than the heat between Kara's legs. She curses again, hips bucking ever so slightly.
"Not so fast," Lena croons. "I want you to enjoy this."
Kara's breaths are already coming hard and fast, as her higher brain functions swiftly cease to function. She grunts, pulling a smile to Lena's lips.
Long fingers slide tenderly across Kara's arousal-slicked opening, circling almost carelessly-- except Kara understands Lena knows exactly what she's doing.
"I want you to wait," Lena whispers. "Can you do that for me? Can you wait until we get to the hotel?"
Kara's teeth grind, lassoing any shred of self control she has left, even as Lena's fingers dip between her labia. She enters almost enough for Kara's walls to grip her fingers, but Lena is quick to react, withdrawing before Kara to gain any purchase.
"Answer me," Lena says.
"Y-yes," Kara stammers. "I-- I can wait-- ungh!"
A high, pitiful sound escapes from Kara's throat, wild and unexpected. She feels her cheeks tingle, and knows they would have turned a vivid red if she weren't already red from the exertion of the club.
Lena kisses her, long and slow and deep. As she does, a fingernail lightly catches on Kara's clit, making her gasp. She tastes the warm air and alcohol from Lena's breath, savoring it for a short moment before another stroke of Lena's fingers makes her huff in frustration.
"You're doing so good," Lena tells her. Her free hand strokes Kara's breast, teasing her through the dress until her nipple hardens and stands at attention. "Oh my god, Kara-- you are so beautiful..."
Kara moans plaintively. "I-- I wanna touch you... more--"
"Not yet," Lena chides. She rests their foreheads together, even as she continues her ministrations under Kara's dress. "Do you know what I'm going to do when I get you upstairs?"
Kara grunts, gasping for breath. She's on the verge of coming, and has to force her inner walls to relax lest she climax right then and there.
"I'm going lay you down on my bed," Lena continues, scissoring her fingers inside Kara and smiling sweetly when Kara squirms. "I'm going to lay you down, and then I'm going to ask you to spread your knees as far as you can. I'm going to make you stretch for me...."
Kara's thighs tense under Lena's, hungry in anticipation. Lena leans in close then, speaking low into Kara's ear.
"And then I'm going to put my mouth on you." Teeth scrape Kara's earlobe, sensitizing it for when Lena makes another pass, this time nibbling sharply. Kara throws her head back hard enough to bounce off the headrest.
"Would you like that, baby?" Lena asks, smiling languidly. "Do you want me to lick you dry? Suck on your clit until-- uh uh," comes a stern warning.
Lena withdraws her hand just before Kara climaxes. Kara gives a shuddering sigh, grateful even as she resents the sudden stillness. Her core gapes, walls flexing in search of something, anything to grip.
"You promised," Lena reminds her.
Kara nods, breathless. "S-sorry," she gasps.
"Shhhh," Lena soothes. Her hand returns, playing idly with Kara's clit. "You're doing amazing, baby."
She retracts her fingers again, less cruelly this time, and lifts them to Kara's mouth. Understanding her intent, Kara kisses Lena's slick fingertips, then parts her lips in invitation.
Lena carefully inserts her first and middle fingers, and Kara lets her tongue curl around them. The salt of her own arousal only heightens her senses further, and the pleasure in Lena's features only makes Kara want to perform perfectly, whatever Lena asks of her.
"I--I want...."
"Tell me," Lena murmurs. "Tell me what you want..."
Before Kara can find the coherence to answer, the car slows to a long stop. Lena's eyes flick up to glance out the back window. With a smile, Lena bends back down to capture Kara's lips in a soft kiss.
"You made it," she says. "We're at the hotel."
Lena wipes her damp fingers across her dress to dry them, then clasps Kara's hand and all but drags her out. If there are paparazzi waiting for them outside the building, Kara doesn't see them. She doesn't register much of anything until her dress is a pile on the floor, and Lena pushes her gently backwards. Her legs fold against the edge of the bed, and she sits with a thump.
"Lay back, baby."
Lena kneels, long ponytail spilling over one shoulder. "Let me take care of you."
And oh, does she.
Kara comes in moments, but Lena doesn't relent. She suckles Kara's clit, and licks ardently, endlessly, until Kara comes again and again.
She doesn't relent until Kara breathlessly pats somewhere near Lena's head, unsure if she actually makes contact. Nevertheless, Lena disengages and crawls over Kara, gazing down into her eyes with satisfaction and adoration.
"Worth the wait?"
Kara mutters a curse. She reaches up to snag Lena by the edge of her jaw, pulling her down to a deep, languid kiss.
"Do that again," Kara warns, "and there's no guarantee I won't explode on the spot, if that's my reward."
Lena beams.
"That was so hot. You-- Lena, I...." Suddenly, Kara's brain catches up to her. "Why are you still dressed?"
"I was a little busy..." Lena grins. Her chin is still slicked with arousal, which she wipes salaciously with her fingers.
"Fuck that," Kara growls. She fumbles for the zipper behind Lena's neck, but doesn't find one. "Off... off, off, off."
"Easy, tiger..." Lena casually reaches under her arm, and undoes the side zipper. Then Kara is treated to the sight of Lena peeling the dress up and over her head. Her boots, at least, are already off, leaving Lena utterly, delectably bare.
Lena tilts her head in a tantalyzing tease. She leans down, and the end of her ponytail tickles the hollow of Kara's throat. "How do you want me?"
"I want you so wet I could drown in you," Kara murmurs. Lena's cheeks heat in a ready flush. Carefully, Kara repositions them so that she was the one straddling Lena. She rubs the top of her thigh between Lena's legs, earning her a sweet mewling as Lena wriggles down to try and increase the pressure.
Rather than tease, Kara plants her knee in the mattress, a grounding rod for Lena to grind against.
"What do you need?" Kara asks simply.
"Drawer," Lena says breathlessly. "Under the scarf. There's a-- ngh, jeezus."
Now it's Lena's turn to be frustrated, and Kara finds that she enjoys the picture she paints. She enjoys it very much.
Kara gamely pushes off the mattress and pads over to the short dresser on the far wall. Fishing under the aforementioned scarf, she pulls out a dildo already fitted to a harness.
Lifting an eyebrow, Kara lets it dangle from her finger by one strap, shooting Lena a suspicious glance.
"Planning ahead, were we?"
Lena gives a cheesy grin. "Can never be too prepared," she teases. Her own eyebrow lifts in challenge. "Think you're up for it?"
Kara crosses back to the bed with dildo in hand. Lena returns to her back, and gazes up at Kara with eyes glazed by desire. She inhales sharply when Kara presses the shaft of the dildo between her legs.
"Tell me what you like," Kara urges, her voice low. She kisses her way up Lena's sternum, the licks the hollow of a slender throat. When she pulls back, Lena whimpers. "Tell me."
"I want you," Lena starts, her eyes hooded with want, "to hold me down, and fuck me senseless."
An all new wave of desire floods Kara, making her insides quake. She leans in close to Lena's ear, and feels her partner's breath catch.
"Challenge accepted."
