Chapter Text
After her conversation with Ernie, Lucy had her thoughts filled with images of Kate. Not the DIA Officer Whistler, but her Kate, the woman she had met a year and a half ago at her neighborhood bar and with whom she spent two nights and three days. The most remarkable ones.
When she first met Kate, Lucy was tired from a very long day at work. Her body ached from the fight with a former naval officer who had decided that the destructive path of crime was far more rewarding than the legal path. There was a minor but annoying pain in her head from the bureaucratic paperwork that Agent Jim Carter had placed on her desk that afternoon.
Lucy was unsure of the exact reason, but Agent Carter constantly placed more papers on her desk than both Jesse and Tennant. So, to end the day, all she needed was a beer and that's why she made her way to the bar.
The bar was crowded, which made Lucy’s headache a little more annoying, but her determination to enjoy a beer and distract her mind from the burden of the work that she had all week is stronger than ever. The NCIS Agent just wanted to pretend for a few minutes that her job involved normal things like finance or sales and not murder and treason.
At the balcony, Lucy asked the bartender for a beer and sat down on one of the empty stools nearby. Her caramel-colored eyes eagerly scanned the crowd, seeking something interesting to distract her mind between sips of her beer.
As Lucy’s eyes passed through the door, she spotted the most beautiful woman she had ever seen. Blonde and tall, wearing elegant clothes, the clothes of someone who probably worked in an office, a normal job that involved the most boring paperwork.
Lucy smiled.
Lucy watched as the woman sat down and crossed her arms over a table at the side of the bar, after rolling up the sleeves of the impeccable white shirt she was wearing, and finally directing her eyes to the crowd at the bar. The woman seemed at ease, just passing her eyes through the people there. Lucy assumed she was playing a guessing game about what each person there was doing with their lives or why they were there that night.
And then her eyes met Lucy’s looking in her direction. Lucy nodded slightly in acknowledgement, and for a second the woman was disturbed, as if she didn't expect to be caught in the act, looking so blatantly at people.
With the woman's eyes still on her, Lucy stood up and walked toward the table where the woman was sitting.
“So, what do I do?” The shorter woman asked as she carefully placed her beer on the table. The woman blushed. Yes, she had been caught in the act.
“Judging by the cut on your eyebrow, I would say that you are a self-defense teacher who has not had the best of days.” The woman answers after checking Lucy's face and body.
“So you wouldn't believe me if I said I was a superhero in my free time?” Lucy asks, as she points toward the bench in front of the woman, silently asking if she could sit and join her company.
“Is that what you want me to believe?” Asks the woman, instantly displaying a tiny smile and arching her eyebrow.
“For now, you can believe whatever you want.” Lucy smiles. “I for one believe that you are a lawyer who has spent the day dealing with difficult clients.”
“A lawyer?” The woman opens a tender smile. “That's a good guess.” The bartender arrives at the table with a portion of some kind of salad and places it in front of her. “Thank you.”
After the bartender leaves, a brief silence settles on the table, until Lucy breaks it. “I should go and let you enjoy your dinner.”
“Or you could stay and keep me company…” The woman says as she picks up the utensils to eat. “Maybe order two beers…” Suggests the woman.
“Two be- Oh!” Lucy smiled brightly. “Lucy.” She says, extending her hand towards the woman.
“Whi-Kate. My name is Kate.” She shakes Lucy’s hand. “It's a pleasure to meet you, Lucy.”
“It will be a pleasure to meet you, Kate.” Says Lucy. The brunette woman nods to the bartender, ordering two more beers.

If Lucy was honest, she couldn't explain how she and Kate had gotten there, but they did.
Yes, she remembered the drunken kiss in front of the bar, but to say she could remember who made the first move? No, she couldn't say that, and frankly, she didn't care. All that mattered at that moment was to get the key in the lock and be able to happily enjoy the kisses that were being spread all over her exposed neck.
The two of them had behaved the entire time the elevator took to get to the floor of Lucy’s apartment, but the moment the doors opened, Kate's hands were pulled to Lucy’s body. The moment they arrived in front of Lucy’s apartment, the brunette tried to open the door, but was easily distracted by Kate's hands moving around her waist, then on the next attempt, it was the closeness of the tall blonde's entire body and on the third attempt, the light caress Kate made on Lucy's neck with the tip of her nose. Before Lucy could even try a fourth time, Kate pushed her forward. And that was where they were.
“You have to let me open the door.” Says Lucy breathlessly.
“Really?”
“Yeah, really.” Lucy says in a playful tone. “Could you please stop distracting me for a few seconds so I can open the door and we won't be caught by my eighty-year-old neighbor?”
Kate sighed, resting her forehead on Lucy's shoulder. “You have ten seconds.” She whispered in the other woman's ear. "Ten, nine..."
“All right, all right…” Lucy agrees as she puts the key in the lock.
The second the key is turned and the click of the lock opening is heard, Kate's hand leaves Lucy's waist and reaches for the door and pushes it to open, revealing the inside of the apartment.
“Finally.” Kate pretends to complain. “That was taking forever.”
**
After they walked into the apartment, the two of them stopped in the middle of the living room. The exchange of their eyes seemed like a battle. A battle to know who would make the first move, who would be the first to touch the other's body.
Lucy thought that Kate was challenging her, but the brunette had no desire to compete at that moment, because all she wanted was to have that beautiful woman in her bed, with messy hair and unsteady breathing. So she stepped forward.
“What? Aren't you going to offer to give me a tour?” The blonde questioned, holding back her laughter. “You know, show me where the bathroom is or some cups of glasses in case I feel thirsty?”
Lucy rolled her eyes as she stood just inches away from Kate. The two of them were so close that Lucy could say they were breathing each other's air. “Do you really want a tour?” Lucy asked with her eyes locked on Kate's and her hands hovering over the other woman's belly, ready to grab the shirt.
“No.” Kate replied smiling, delighted at the state she left Lucy in. “Touch me, Lucy.”
And that's what Lucy did. The brunette's fingers gripped Kate's shirt, pulling it out of her pants and wrinkling the fabric. The blonde's mouth connected with Lucy’s in a strong kiss, full of desire and lust. Kate’s hands went to the smaller woman's shoulders, squeezing the flesh firmly. And then her hands slid in a tight pressure down Lucy’s back, as if they were shaping every curve until they reached the pockets of the jeans the brunette was wearing. Inside the pockets of the jeans, Kate's long fingers curved, squeezing Lucy's butt through the fabric.
“Touch me, Lucy.” Whispered Kate on Lucy’s lips.
Lucy moaned just as she felt Kate's breath on her lips. Lucy felt her body vibrate as she assimilated the words, the request from the woman in front of her ran through her body like an electric shock.
Kate's words caused Lucy’s hands to move over the blonde's still buttoned shirt. The NCIS agent’s hands felt the softness of the fabric, craving to feel the texture of the woman's skin. The hands stopped at the height of Kate's breasts, squeezing them lightly and a moan escaped through the lips that were tasting each other.
Their lips disconnected and their eyes met. One of Lucy’s hands slipped down Kate’s arm slowly, feeling the warmth through the fabric of the shirt the woman was wearing, until it reached the blonde's hand. “I need you in my bed.” Lucy says as she interlaces her fingers with Kate’s.
Lucy pulled Kate along, walking with the woman to her room.
In the bedroom, Lucy eagerly pushed Kate towards the bed, causing the woman to fall into a sitting position, and without wasting any time, she brought her hands to the buttons of the blonde's shirt and carefully began to undo each button. Lucy's eyes remained fixed on Kate's during the entire process, as if, by their gaze, they had already fulfilled their desires, but when the fourth button was undone, Lucy's eyes were directed to the trail her hands had been taking.
Kate's eyes, Kate's mouth that Lucy wanted to kiss, the neck that Lucy wanted to bite, the little birthmarks that Lucy wanted to lick, the breasts that she wanted to suck.
Kate's hands were on Lucy's hips, in a slow up and down movement, restless to touch the body of the beautiful brunette in front of her, but not wanting to get in the way of the very delight that was watching Lucy's expressions with each new button opened, Lucy’s eyes craving her.
Kate felt hot and wet.
Lucy's fingers unbuttoned the last button and her hands trailed down the newly opened path, finally feeling the softness and pleasant warmth of Kate's skin until they once more found the fabric that remained around the blonde's shoulders. Lucy moved her hands again, exposing the skin of Kate's shoulders, preparing to take the shirt off down the blonde's long arms.
Kate's hands moved from her hips to the back of Lucy's thighs, pulling the brunette closer to her. Understanding Kate's intentions and taking advantage of the support of her hands on the blonde's shoulders, Lucy climbed onto Kate's lap, settling down with one knee on either side of her.
Kate's hands moved up Lucy's thighs and into the T-shirt the brunette was wearing. Lucy's skin was warm and soft, a delight to the touch of Kate's fingers. Her hands crossing the waist, the toned stomach on which the small reliefs made Kate smile. Kate’s hands continued to move around the other woman's body. Going up through the waist while Lucy’s shirt followed the movement until they reached the point where the brunette had to lift her arms to finally remove the piece of clothing from her body.
Kate's lips found Lucy's breasts and soft kisses were distributed, as well as small, pleasurable bites. While her mouth was occupied, Kate moved her hands to the clasp of Lucy's bra, opening it. Quickly the piece of clothing landed somewhere on the bedroom floor and then Kate's lips had many more places to taste.
"All right, all right." Lucy pulls her face away from Kate. "I need you lying down. Now." She orders pushing Kate backwards. The brunette kisses the blonde, following Kate's body until it settles on the bed.
The kiss grows stronger and full of desire, Kate's hands moving down Lucy's back, leaving fingerprints all over it, marking Lucy's skin. Finally stopping on the brunette's ass and squeezing it, bringing the woman closer to her, connecting their bodies even more.
Lucy leaves up a trail of passionate kisses until Kate's neck, where she starts to bite lightly, bringing out small moans from the blonde. From the neck, Lucy extends the trace of her lips, following to Kate's chest, the cleavage between her breasts and her belly, going lower and lower, unbuttoning and unzipping the blonde’s plants.
Kate's fingers lost themselves between Lucy's dark curls, staying there and gently going along with the movements made by Lucy's head, guiding the brunette to the places where she was desidered until she reached her highest point and the tension created in her body was undone by a wave of pleasure.
**
Kate's sleep was abruptly interrupted when the blonde felt something heavy in her stomach. Opening her eyes, the woman spotted an arm, and as she looked to the side, Kate saw the woman from the bar.
Lucy.
Kate kept her eyes on the woman for a few seconds, looked up at the ceiling, and considered her options. She could free herself from Lucy's cuddle and leave, not giving Lucy the discomfort of having to kick her out, or she could stay there and enjoy Lucy's warm body comforting hers until the woman woke up and kicked her out.
The thoughts made Kate's throat dry. Maybe if she got up and went to the kitchen, it would create time for herself to figure out what she should do next. Leave or stay. If Kate was honest, she didn't want to leave, the blonde wanted to enjoy as much time with Lucy as possible, even if she couldn't explain why. However the blonde didn't want to stay and be kicked out when Lucy woke up.
Releasing herself from the grip of Lucy's arm around her waist, Kate slowly got up from the bed and searched for her clothes. The blonde spotted her underwear and the pants she was wearing, but her white shirt was nowhere to be found.
Great, she couldn't leave even if she wanted to.
Kate got dressed and left the bedroom, heading to the kitchen and hoping that Lucy wouldn't mind her walking around her house. Arriving in the kitchen, Kate had to open two cabinet doors before she found the cups of glasses. Opening the fridge, Kate smiled at the sight of a few boxes of take-out, a few beers, and a few bottles of water.
With a glass full of water, Kate leaned against the kitchen counter, losing herself in thoughts again. The clock on the wall shows that it was too late for some and too early for others, especially those who had an important meeting that day. Kate should be in her hotel room, going over the paperwork, preparing to face the old men who were extremely believing that women were easy to break.
Kate sighed.
"I hope that sigh doesn't mean regret." Lucy's sleepy voice broke the silence of the place.
"I know you are not the silent type, so your plan was to see how many of your cups of glasses I would find?" Kate questions, recovering from her initial fright.
"Nah." Lucy sticks her tongue out in denial. "I was wondering if you had managed to slip through the door and into the streets without your shirt or if my neighbor had caught you in the act and was giving you a lecture on indecency." Lucy explained making Kate laugh.
The blonde smiled as she finally noticed what Lucy was wearing. So that's where her shirt had ended up...
Kate watched Lucy for a few seconds. Lucy was such a beautiful woman, Kate felt dizzy, drunk with desire, and now that she knew the woman's tastes, she felt like an addict trying to keep herself in abstinence.
"Do you want me to leave?" Kate asks, giving the woman control of the situation.
"Do you want to leave?" Lucy returns the question.
"Oh, Lucy..." Kate shakes her head slightly in denial. "I had already established in my mind that you were a stunning woman, but to see you wearing only my shirt, with your hair messy from sex and the sleepy expression of one who wants to run back to bed..." Kate stops in front of Lucy, without touching her. "I don't know if you look extremely sexy or extremely cute and that's dangerous."
"Dangerous?" Lucy questions.
"Yes, dangerous." Kate brings her hand to Lucy's hair, pushing the dark curls away, exposing the woman's neck. "Extremely dangerous for me." Kate brings her lips to Lucy's neck, kissing there slowly. "Do you know why?" the woman questions. Kate's words hit the sensitive skin of Lucy's neck, making the woman shudder and gasp. "Because you have me at your mercy." Kate's lips goes up to Lucy's ear, "You know what's even worse?" She asks again. "What's worse is that you know it, you know the power you have." Kate takes a step forward, forcing Lucy to take a step back, and Kate follows with that until Lucy's body is pressed against the wall. "And that's dangerous."
"Kate..." Lucy says, her voice coming out like a groan.
"If you want, I can leave..." Kate threatens to take a step back, but Lucy is quick to hold her there, her fingers tucked into the waistband of the pants the blonde was wearing. Kate laughs, pressing herself even harder against Lucy. "Or I could stay, take you in my arms, and fuck you against this wall." Kate kisses Lucy intensely, but it was so brief it could be considered torture. "Or I could taste you over the kitchen counter..." Kate undoes the only closed button on the shirt and, with the shirt opened, runs her right arm around Lucy's waist while her left goes down to the woman's thigh, making an impulse to take Lucy on her lap. Lucy's legs embrace Kate's body and her arms wrap around her shoulders.
Lucy's breathing was shallow. The brunette could feel Kate's arms holding her, the blondes breathing mixed with her own, the racing hearts beating in their chests.
"Kiss me." Lucy demands.
Without wasting another second, Kate gives in to the lips of the woman in her arms and kisses her passionately, leaning Lucy's body on the wall and her right hand is placed beside the other woman's head.
