Chapter 5:

The next day, early in the morning when she knew Katarina would be too busy being passed out in her own bed to catch her; Lux snuck out and went to do her laundry in the laundry room. She had curled up in her own bed after seeing Katarina naked mixed with so many feelings, mostly embarrassment, but other things too. It had been worrying Lux that she might be feeling jealous, having developed a crush on her roommate, for some time now but after seeing Katarina last night, she was sure of it now. She was certainly jealous. Not that she knew what she would do about it, she seemed to be far from the type of girls that Katarina was bringing home, far more experienced and adventurous than herself.

Lux rubbed at her temples in frustration as she waited on the last dry cycle of her laundry. Maybe she could talk to Leona about her feelings. She'd never really felt like this before, plenty of boys in high school had crushes on her and even asked her out from time to time but Lux had never been all that interested in them. She suspected she would know the 'right guy' when she met him, but it turns out, the 'right guy' was her sexually rambunctious and aggressive female roommate. She didn't know if this made her gay or not. To put it bluntly, Lux was confused at best.

In front of her, the dryer dinged to let her know her laundry was done, she popped the lid and fished around inside to remove her clothes, folding them and putting them back in her basket before heading back to her room. She unlocked the door to her apartment, surprised to see Katarina fully dressed and sitting at the dining table. She was never awake this early and was she wearing make-up? Lux wondered to herself, running her eyes up and down the redhead.

"Crownguard." Katarina said in grunt, causing Lux to back up against the door in attempt to create some distance between them, afraid of the redhead. She watched as Katarina stood up and walked towards her, taking the laundry basket from her and dropping it on the ground.

"Hey!" Lux exclaimed as she watched some of her folded laundry fall onto the floor. Her outrage was interrupted by Katarina's hands on her face and neck, pulling her in for a deep, passionate kiss. Lux's eyes widened in surprise for the few moments that Katarina's hot mouth was on hers, staring at the redhead in stunned silence as she pulled away.

"God damnit, Crownguard. What does it take to make you jealous, to make you want me?" Lux was silent for a moment before exploding into uncontrollable giggles, the redhead standing in front of her with an adorable look of confusion on her face. Katarina jumped slightly at Lux's hand cupping her face, rubbing her thumb along the bottom half of the scar over her eye.

"Don't be silly, of course I'm jealous." Lux giggled some more before pressing her lips against Katarina's again, moving her hand on the redhead's cheek into her hair. Katarina pulled away after a few moments.

"Why didn't you say anything?"

"Why didn't you say anything?" Lux parroted back at Katarina who smirked in return before curling her fingers into the waist band of Lux's pants, dragging Lux to her bedroom. Before Lux knows it, she's been dragged into Katarina's room (one she's never been inside before), and knocked onto her back, lying down on the mattress. Katarina does a seductive crawl up the mattress, stopping where her face hovered over Lux's, one of her hands darting to Lux's blouse and popping some of the buttons.

"W-Wait." Lux stammered, her hand softly wrapping around Katarina's, making eye contact with the redhead.

"Do you not want to?" Katarina asked with an expression on her face that Lux had never seen before, one much softer and caring, almost as if she was concerned.

"N-No, I do. I just. I haven't…" She left Katarina to work out the implication, embarrassed to say out loud that she was a virgin. "Just go slow, 'kay?" Katarina nodded before kissing her deeply, tangling her fingers in Lux's blonde hair, her other hand returning to the buttons of Lux's shirt.

"You taste like strawberries." Katarina murmured against her lips.

"Oh, I'm sorry, it's my lip gloss. I can remove it." Lux moved to cover her lips with her hand but Katarina's mouth beat her to it, kissing her hard and only separating when she ran out of air.

"No, I like it, keep wearing it. Everyday." Katarina's mouth quickly moved to Lux's neck, the blonde biting down on her lower lip to keep quiet, knowing how thin the walls are. Katarina pushed the sides of Lux's blouse open, her hand snaking under her back to undo her bra, removing the clothing and leaving the blonde topless. Lux blushed hard as Katarina stared down at her topless form with a deep intensity, causing her to become insecure and cover herself.

"Wh-What?" Katarina grabbed her wrists gently and pulled them away, exposing her breasts. The redhead leaned in, her mouth hot against Lux's ear.

"You're beautiful." Lux shuddered under Katarina, causing a possessive chuckle to come from the redhead. Katarina moved down to Lux's breasts, sucking and biting lightly and twisting the other nipple with a free hand.

After a few minutes of foreplay, Lux's breathing was quick and shallow, Katarina was trying her best to force the blonde to moan out but Lux refused, staying quiet because of the thin walls.

"Are you not enjoying this?" Katarina asked, somewhat concerned even though it was clear how much Lux was definitely enjoying her touch.

"I just don't want to disturb the people next door."

"Fuck 'em, be loud. I want to hear you." Lux blushed before she felt Katarina's mouth and teeth back around her breast quickly, surprising her and causing her to moan out. Katarina remained at Lux's breasts for a few more moments before leaving, Lux somewhat breathless, beginning to untie Lux's shoes and tossing them to the ground around the bed. Her dextrous fingers swiftly undid Lux's pants and yanked them down her legs, leaving her just in her panties before she remembered Lux's request for her to go slow.

Katarina looked up at Lux from between her legs, licking her lips slightly before curling a finger into the waist line of the panties, silently asking for permission before going ahead. Katarina wasn't good at this kind of thing, being gentle or making love or whatever, but for Lux she was willing to try. She slid them of Lux's legs quickly before settling down between the blonde's legs, slinging them over her shoulders, pausing just before Lux's wet need.

"Ready?" She asked, making eye contact with Lux who nodded quietly, obviously nervous. In reassurance, Katarina grabbed Lux's right hand with her left before pressing her tongue against the blonde's clit. Lux's fingers tightened around Katarina's, the blonde's other hand tangling themselves in her red tresses.

Lux's moaning, squirming, and even cursing (Katarina had never heard the blonde do that before), only spurred Katarina on, picking up her pace and roughness to see what Lux could take. It didn't take long before Katarina began inserting fingers, causing the woman beneath her to cry out loudly, more than loud enough for the neighbours to hear but it was clear that Lux didn't care anymore, lost in Katarina's touch.

Lux came hard against Katarina's tongue and fingers, her back arching and her fingers cruelly pulling on Katarina's hair before going limp. She watched through half lidded eyes as Katarina began to strip herself naked and lie in beside her, spooning her as she recovered. Lux was breathless, pressing her head back against Katarina's shoulder as her arms enveloped the blonde.

"You enjoy that?" Katarina asked, somehow worried after the noises Lux had made that she hadn't enjoyed it.

"'Course." Lux forced out between breaths, only starting to calm down, "Sorry I can't last as long as the other girls you see." She said, feeling somewhat insecure. She didn't know where her and Katarina stood after all that, was she just another girl to her?

"The other girls?" Katarina asked as if she didn't know what Lux was talking about.

"You know the parade of noisy women you've brought home in the past four months."

"Oh right, that. I did that to make you jealous. You're the one I really wanted."

"Really?" Lux asked, blushing lightly. Katarina hummed against the blonde's neck, kissing lightly.

"Yes, always."
