Chapter 1

“Come on wildcat” Scorpia said clapping her on the back

“Do we have to?” Catra groaned

“It is your thirtieth birthday, we are going out. Perfuma and I have a sitter for Mira so yes, you do” Scorpia stated

“Fine. I will meet you at your place in a hour okay?” Catra grumbled

“Perfect. Make sure you look good!” Scorpia chuckled as she walked from the shop

Catra shook her head, sighing she clicked the lock in place before turning off the open sign. Looking around she was proud of what her and Scorpia had accomplished in the past ten years but she knew there was still a piece missing. Her and Scorpia had grown up together, best friends since they could talk and both of them knew what they wanted to do at a young age. Catra had always been obsessed with tattoos, so that is what she pushed to do. And here she was in her own shop, a well known and well liked tattoo artist in the heart of Ottawa. Making her way through a back door she soon was stepping into her apartment above the shop. It wasn’t huge but she loved it, two bedrooms with a massive open concept layout. She was able to have people over and not worry about bumping into them, pulling her shirt over her head she began stripping before slipping into the shower.

Catra was not a tall person but she made up for it in her personality, she was spicy as Scorpia liked to say but she just knew what she wanted in her life and how she wanted to be treated. Her shower was done quickly as she stepped out running a towel along her short hair. She had kept it long for years but as she became more and more comfortable with her sexuality and who she was it slower got shorter and shorter, now she had the back and sides shaved with a good few inches on top. Her body was covered in tattoos, what kind of tattoo artist would she be without tattoos? Piercings in her ears as well as her nose and septum as well as the nipple rings she had gotten the day she turned eighteen. Perfuma called her the poster child for masc lesbians, if she had been told even ten years before that this was where her life would be she would not have believed it. Dressing slowly she pulled on jeans and a tight sports bra, soon a plaid button up was slowly slipped on as she left the top buttons undone as she rolled her sleeves up. A little gel in her hair and she was good, grabbing her keys she slipped from the apartment and towards her car, the moment the car started her Bluetooth connected as the phone began to ring.

“Auntie Catra?” Mira called out

“Yes sweetie? Tell your mothers I am on my way” Catra laughed at her niece

“Oh I am not calling for them. Can you get me a Slurpee on your way? Please?” Mira asked her voice echoing in the car

“Of course. All the flavors?” Catra asked already knowing the answer

“Please! Love you! Bye!” Mira said hanging up the phone

Catra shook her head, Mira was a sweet kid. Twelve years old already, she remembered meeting her the first time when she was just a year. Scorpia had told her about this women she had met at the flower shop, who had a small daughter and that she was really smitten with her. And so Perfuma and Mira were introduced into her life, and they never looked back. Scorpia and Perfuma had married three years later, she was Scorpia’s best women as she put it and so she became Auntie Catra. She took that title seriously and Mira knew it, she had Catra wrapped around her little finger. Case in point her now walking out with a Slurpee in hand.

“Whose the Slurpee for?” Perfuma asked confused as Catra walked in the door

“Mira, she called and asked for one” Catra said shrugging

“Of course she did. I told her no” Perfuma said shaking her head

“Ah yes, the old mom wont give me it so let me ask Auntie” Catra said watching as Mira walked into the room

“I well yes” Mira said blushing

“It is fine” Catra said pulling the child into a hug

“Okay good, happy birthday Auntie” Mira said smiling

“Thank you sweetie. Now were is momma?” Catra asked

“Grabbing dinner, she should be back any minute. How was the day at the shop?” Perfuma asked

“Good busy but that is always a good thing. You? Any new flowers?” Catra asked fishing a beer from the fridge

Catra sat and listened as Perfuma began telling her all about the new flowers and plants her shop was bringing in, she dealt with exotic plants and had been waiting on a large shipment for a month and she could tell they were there now. Scorpia stepped in not long after, bags of Chinese take out in hand. Catra hated to admit but this was how she always wanted her birthday to go, but maybe in time she would find a partner like Scorpia had. She had flings, and a short relationship but there was always something missing and she could not understand what that was.

“Earth to Catra” Scorpia said waving her hand in front of her face

“What? Sorry” Catra said blushing

“I was asking if you could do me a favor on Monday” Scorpia said as Perfuma began taking the plates

“Sure?” Catra asked confused

“I had a last minute large appointment book. But Mira has a field trip to the national war museum, and I am supposed to be a chaperone. Could you do it instead? If you can't I understand” Scorpia said hopefully

“Sure, it is my day off so I do not mind. Haven’t been to that museum in years” Catra said shrugging

“Thank you. I normally wouldn’t ask but I couldn’t say no to a regular who wants a whole half sleeve in one sitting” Scorpia said shaking her head

“I am actually excited, well other then the other children that I will have to deal with” Catra said laughing loudly

*****

Catra looked around the club, she was not one for clubs as she much preferred pubs so she could hear what people were saying but this would have to do. There was a big drag show on that Perfuma wanted to see and it being on her birthday meant Catra was bound to be pulled out. Making her way towards the bar she ordered a beer before making her way downstairs, the show was good and soon she was being pulled up onto the stage with the others who shared her birthday. Grumbling she looked through the crowd catching a glimpse of golden blonde hair and then it was gone, Catra did not know what made her stomach lurch at the color of hair but it did and she wanted to find who it was attached to. Soon she was practically running from the stage and towards the main floor, she was on a mission and did not care that the show was still going on. Looking around she found who she was looking for, there stood a Amazonian goddess with golden hair and a smile that made her legs week. This women was tall, a good head taller then her and the way her arms stretched the shirt she had on made Catra week. She did not know she had a thing for women with muscles but in this moment she realized that she did. Taking a deep breath she made her way up to the bar waiting for the other patrons to grab their drink.

“Hey handsome, anything I can grab you?” The bartender asked her voice soft

“Vodka coke please, and a name?” Catra asked taking a shot

“Straight to the point. I won’t give mine if you don’t give me yours” The bartender said smirking

“Catra” Catra stated watching her as her heart pounded in her chest

“Adora, and here you are” Adora said softly

“How much?” Catra asked

“First one is free for you” Adora winked

“Why?” Catra asked surprised

“It is your birthday isn’t it?” Adora countered

“It is, how did you know?” Catra asked confused

“The sticker” Adora said leaning on the counter her breasts peaking through her shirt as she poked Catra’s chest

“Oh” Catra said her voice trembling

“Didn’t expect the masc lesbian to be so nervous” Adora said smirking

“Hard not to be when you are around a beautiful women like yourself” Catra said watching as Adora bit her lip

“Trying to get into my pants are we?” Adora asked chuckling gently

“Is it working?” Catra asked more confidently

“I don’t go home on the first meeting, come by again and maybe” Adora said running a finger along one of Catra’s neck tattoos

Catra felt her knees begin to grow week but the sound of hundred of people making their way back upstairs brought them from the moment they were having. Adora looked at her before leaning over and placing a quick kiss on her lips as patron after patron began coming to her bar. Catra felt her lips tingling as she was stepping away before looking for Scorpia. Catra did not get to find Adora again that night, after the rush of people she lost track of her and each time she went to that bar she was not there. Her heart fell in her chest but that was how the club was, the feeling of her lips on hers had not receded and she hoped maybe if she came back the next weekend that she would find her again.

*****

“Are you still thinking of her?” Scorpia asked Monday morning

“I am not” Catra said shaking her head

“You are, you can see if it in your eyes” Perfuma said smiling

“Okay fine. There was just something about her, she was a goddess, and she kissed me” Catra said touching her lips again

“As you have said many times. Go back on the weekend and see if you can find her. Shit is that the time, I have to go” Scorpia said jumping up kissing her wife and running from the house

Catra shook her head, soon Mira was ready as they made their way to her truck. She decided that because Catra was chaperoning the field trip that she might as well go with her straight to the museum. Catra watched as the buses soon began pulling up, they were soon being ushered into a large room as the teachers explained what was happening that day. Packets were given out with the questions that needed to be answered and the time tables to the adults, and then they were off. She could feel the eyes of the adults on her, she was not the typical adult with her many tattoos and piercings so she knew they judged her. With her jacket hung up and walking around in a short sleeve Henley shirt that showed off her full sleeves and the tattoos that littered her neck and chest she was the oddity in this place.

“Auntie Catra?” Mira asked a couple hours into the tour

“Yes?” Catra answered looking at the group of five children she had with her

“What time is it?” Mira asked

“Almost eleven, we should make our way to the theater. There is a speaker we need to listen to” Catra explained

Catra looked at the map in her hands as she made her way through the halls, she was proud of who she was and the country she was born into. But in a museum like this she understood what was given up so she could be who she was, who these children could be. She watched as Mira practically ran into the theater, picking the front row much to her amusement. Soon the other students and adults walked in, Catra was scrolling through her phone as she heard the tapping of the microphone. Her stomach came up into her throat as she looked up finding the women she had been thinking of for the past few days looking around before coming to rest on her. No longer did she have skimpy clothes on but instead she wore a white blouse with a pair of black pants. The high heels she wore made her look even taller, the golden hair was tied into a ponytail that sat high on her head. Catra could tell she was as shocked as she was, as she stared at her before clearing her throat with a small blush.

“Good morning everyone. My name is Dr. Adora Grayskull, and I would like to welcome you to the national war museum” Adora said her voice showing the hint of nervousness now coursing through her

Chapter 2

Adora could not get Catra out of her head, she had not seen her since she kissed her she had taken over her mind. Shaking her head Adora stared at the papers in front of her, she had been working at the Canadian war museum for eight months but it was her dream job and she still could not believe she was a curator and historian in such a place.

Things had not always been on her side, being a trans women had its ups and downs but she would not change anything for it. She had come to the realization in her late teens but and had begun her transition as soon as she had left high school. She had decided on a year off to truly become herself before heading off to the university of Calgary before spending eight years in Regina attending the university there. The decision to return to Ottawa was an easy one, as the job offer had been given before she even had graduated. So here she sat waiting for the time to speak to the next group of students. Stretching in her chair she found it only five minutes before she needed to be in the auditorium, grabbing her papers she began to make her way down. Her mind still slipping back to Catra ever moment she wasn’t thinking of something else. Slipping into the auditorium she found the large group of children and adults but her eyes were drawn to the women in the front row, her heart began to race and her stomach twisted into knots as she looked at Catra.

Catra watched as Adora began speaking, her face still tinted red but it made her look even more adorable. She watched and listened intently as Adora spoke, she could tell she was brilliant and well versed in what she loved. The minutes turned into half an hour before she watched the slide behind her change to a picture she knew more about then she should.

“Does anyone know what this is?” Adora asked looking around the room

“Yes, girl with the pink shirt” Adora said gently

“That is a tattoo” The little girl stated

“That is correct. But do we know what type of tattoo it is?” Adora asked scanning the group ready to explain it

“It is a tattoo of those who were imprisoned in Auschwitz. Anyone kept alive was tattooed on their inner forearm” Catra stated confidently

“Auntie Catra has a tattoo like that” Mira said before Adora could answer

“Catra you are correct” Adora said watching the blush pass Catra’s face as she remembered her name

Adora continued to speak about the camps, she was amazed how she had the complete attention of everyone int he room. She was intrigued by the comment of the girl beside Catra, she would hopefully get to learn what she was talking about. Soon she began to wrap up the session, she always loved being able to spread the history that was the wars and teach the younger generation about the atrocities that could happen when someone was followed blindly. Adora watched the students and adults stand as Catra watched her before being dragged from the room a look of annoyance on her face. Adora sighed, she wished she could have talked with her but she caught the tail end of a teachers speaking about lunch. Adora let a small smile pass her face as she looked at the time, running off towards the staff room she grabbed her lunch before making her way towards the cafeteria. Walking in she found the students all sitting together chatting away as the tattooed neck of Catra caught her attention.

“Are you enjoying your private time or may I come sit?” Adora asked as she stood behind her

“What? Oh, uh yes. Come sit” Catra said blushing

“Even without alcohol you blush” Adora said smiling gently

“Well when someone as beautiful as you talks to me it is hard not to” Catra said now fully looking at her

“You are not bad yourself” Adora chuckled

“So tell me Doctor, why would you work at the club if you have such a nice cushy job?” Catra asked intrigued

“I bar tended all through school, I went to school on scholarships so everything was paid for. But for some extra money I got my license and did that. I got to interact with people who weren’t just students and professors” Adora said shrugging

“That makes sense actually. So you just do it for fun now?” Catra asked watching her movements and how her blue eyes shined as she talked

“Pretty much. Now what does someone as handsome as you do?” Adora asked leaning on her elbow watching her closely

“Take a guess” Catra joked around

“Covered in all those tattoos? How about a politician?” Adora stated jokingly

“Oh so close. I am a tattoo artist, I have my own shop with my best friend” Catra explained

“Oh are you talking about momma?” Mira asked slipping into the conversation

“Yes I am. What is up sweetie?” Catra asked looking at her niece

“Can I go outside into the courtyard with the other students? The teachers said you can stay and chat, please?” Mira asked

“That is fine, I will be here talking with Adora” Catra said nodding

“Oh, you are the one that auntie is talking about” Mira stated smiling as she walked away

“Talking about me are you?” Adora said blushing

“I was, you haven’t left my mind and you kissed me!” Catra said smirking

“I should not have done that” Adora said her demeanor changing

“Why? Did I do something wrong?” Catra asked surprised

“I need to tell you something” Adora stated

“What is wrong?” Catra asked confused

“I am trans, I am a trans women” Adora said so only she could hear

“Oh okay. You did not need to tell me that so soon into meeting” Catra said surprised

“I forgot to tell someone before we started kissing, and it did not end well for me” Adora said her eyes casting down

“What happened? You do not need to tell me if you do not wish” Catra said softly

“My second year of university, I had met this masc lesbian at school. We went to the club and had a great night, then we left and we started getting handsy in the alley. I pulled back and confessed my deepest secret. You should have seen the anger in her face, I remember her fist hitting me over and over again. I ended up with a broken nose crushed cheek bone , a few broken teeth and a severe concussion. But it was my fault because I did not tell her before anything” Adora said softly

“No, that is not your fault. She had no right to attack you because of that. If she did not like that you were trans she should have just walked away. I am sorry that happened to you” Catra said softly

“I am sorry I did not disclose it before kissing you” Adora said her worry increasing

“It is okay, I am not mad” Catra said softly

“Well I will leave you be. It was very nice meeting you Catra, but I do not think this will go any farther” Adora said going to stand

“Wait why?” Catra said catching her wrist in her hand and enjoying the feeling of soft skin

“Because you want a women, not a trans women” Adora said her voice wavering

“Do not put words in my mouth. I never said that, and you are a women. There is something else bothering you if this is how you are acting. What else?” Catra pushed

“I have not had bottom surgery” Adora stated

“Oh” Catra said surprised

“There it is. That is the reaction I always get, I am sorry for getting your hopes up. I enjoyed our lunch” Adora said pulling from her grasp and walking away

Catra watched her walk away, she was confused. She was a lesbian yes and Adora was a women yes. But the fact that she had not had bottom surgery was something different and something she was not used to. Shaking her head she listened as the students began to file back into the cafeteria. The rest of the day passed slowly, her mind was constantly going over what she had said. The trip back to Scorpia’s was easy as Mira chatted away about all the things she had learned that day, slipping inside she found Scorpia and Perfuma chatting on the couch.

“How was your day?” Scorpia asked as Mira hugged her

“Amazing! I learned so much, and auntie met Adora but now she is sad” Mira stated

“Why don;t you go to your room for a little okay?” Perfuma asked understanding

“What is wrong?” Scopria asked as Mira’s door closed

“Hot bartender Adora is actually Dr. Adora. She works at the museum and she was the speaker” Catra stated

“What else? You seem in your head” Perfuma asked gently

“She disclosed to me that she is trans” Catra stated

“Okay, you have slept with trans women before. So what is wrong?” Scorpia asked

“She has not had bottom surgery” Catra stated picking at a hangnail

“Okay and does that bother you? What is going on in your brain?” Scorpia pushed

“I am not sure, I don’t like that appendage. Unless I am using it on someone else, but it being attached to her is making my brain spin” Catra stated

“Spin how?” Perfuma asked gently

“Part of me feels as though I would not mind but other parts of me are still worried” Catra said sighing

“So why not get to know her and see where it goes and go from there? Maybe getting to know her well may change your mind. If it doesn’t then it doesn’t, but it takes a lot of trust to tell someone what she told you” Perfuma said softly

“You are right. Thank you” Catra stated jumping up

“Where are you going?” Scorpia asked

“To talk to Adora” Catra said running from the house

Chapter 3

Adora sat in her office, she was stupid. How could she think that Catra was any different then any other lesbian she had ever met. She knew that some lesbians did not care but she had a preference for masc lesbians and none of them wanted anything to do with her. She was still a virgin and would stay one for the rest of her life it seemed as she did not plan on ever getting bottom surgery. Sighing she found the forms she needed before beginning to fill them in, she was in the process of applying to tour European battlefields come the summer time. The ringing of the phone brought her back from the monotony of the forms.

“Adora speaking” Adora stated picking up the phone

“Dr. Grayskull there is a lady here asking for you” The receptionist stated

“Who is there?” Adora asked confused

“She didn’t say her name but she is covered in tattoos and piercings, she is kind of scary looking” The receptionist said softly

“I will be right there” Adora said sighing as she hung up the phone

Catra watched as the receptionist turned back towards her, she could feel the look of someone who did not trust her at all. She got that a lot with how she looked, she said nothing but she did not send her away which was a good sign. She began to pace back and forth as the sound of heels on the floor brought her from her thoughts.

“Catra” Adora said a tone she had not heard

“Hey. Could we talk? Please?” Catra asked nervously

“Come on” Adora said her demeanor softening as she walked away

Catra did not speak but instead she kept a couple steps behind her as they walked, soon coming to a set of doors that she would have never noticed before. Adora scanned her card attached to her hip before opening the door and beckoning Catra to step in before slipping in behind her. Soon she was once again walking behind her as they passed offices and large rooms filled with artifacts that were being preserved before coming to a stop in front of Adora’s office as she beckoned her inside.

“Sit” Adora said pointing to a large plush chair

“I am sorry” Catra began before even touching the seat

“You haven’t beat my face in, so I do believe you on that” Adora said a small smirk on her face

“How can you laugh about that?” Catra asked confused

“You can’t but sometimes when you are nervous you make comments like I just did. Why did you return?” Adora asked sitting in the chair opposite

“Because how I reacted was the wrong way to react. I am not one of those lesbians who think trans women are not women, you are a women. But the fact that you have not had bottom surgery just startled me as I did not expect it” Catra said softly

“But that does not explain why you have returned? Did you just come back to say that and get my hopes up?” Adora asked her voice wavering

“No, I came back so that I could ask you if maybe we go slow and see where this goes. I want to take you on a date, and get to know you” Catra said looking up at her

“Do you think you could be okay with my extra equipment? That is a big one Catra, you do not seem like the one who wants to receive” Adora said watching her closely

“I normally am not the one to take the strap. But I think in time I could because it would be attached to you, and you just have not left my mind since I saw you” Catra said truthfully

“I am a virgin” Adora blurted out

“Then all the more reason we take our time. I really am sorry Adora, I wish I was different then the other women you have dealt with. But I guess I was not” Catra said softly

“You are different though. You came back and explained yourself and apologized” Adora said smiling

“So is that a yes? I can take you on a date and see where this goes?” Catra asked hopefully

“Yes but on one condition” Adora agreed

“Name it” Catra said smiling widely

“Why did your niece say you have a prisoner tattoo on your arm?” Adora asked

“Ah yes, this tattoo” Catra said holding out her arm and lifting her sweater

“Why?” Adora inquired

“My grandmother. She was nineteen when the Germans invaded Poland, and as you can guess she was Jewish. She was captured in 1941, and transported to Auschwitz. But she was lucky in one sense, she was a nurse by trade so she was kept alive and worked in the medical facilities there. Once the camp was liberated she managed to make her way to the UK, she met my grandfather there. He was a Canadian officer, they married quickly and he brought her here. She did not have my mother until 1960. She was already forty when she had her, my grandparents had come to a belief that they would never have children but then my mother came along. My mother is not a good person, she had me by accident. A drug fueled romp with some drug dealer and I came around. My father was gone before my mother even knew she was pregnant” Catra said stopping for a moment before beginning again

“I was born addicted to drugs, I will never touch them. My mother did not have a name for me picked out even though she knew about me. So my grandmother named me Catarina, or Catra for short. Soon my mother attempted to get clean, but she couldn’t hold a job to save her life and soon she was back into the drugs. So my grandmother took over my guardianship. She was already seventy when I was born. But she did this because she loved me, my grandmother taught me about the horrors of the war. She never strayed from answering questions about the tattoo on her arm, she always told me never forget. My grandfather died when I was ten, and when he died she began to slow down. My mother was in and out of my life but she never got clean. So when I hit my teenage years I made the decision to completely cut her out. And so time went on, I decided on my career path early on in my teens and my grandmother supported me. But she began going downhill, my eighteenth birthday she gave me a gift certificate for a tattoo. I knew what I wanted, I brought her to the shop and had her write the numbers out. I added in the never forget, I carry her with me. I carry the knowledge of what happens when hate is allowed to be the norm and when we follow blindly those who hate” Catra stated looking at Adora who watched her intently

“She died a little over a year later, I was given everything. Her will gave my mother nothing and gave me everything. I lived in the house for years but when I finished my apprenticeship and was ready to start my career, the house that I inherited was small and held so many memories but it was over a hundred years old and needed more work then I could keep up to. So I sold it to a developer and purchased my own shop, one that has a apartment for me above it. The shop also will always hold her memory close, as I named it Never Forget. That is why I have these numbers tattooed into my arm. It is to remember my grandmother but to also remember what happens to those that are hated for no reason” Catra explained

“Thank you” Adora said softly

“Why?” Catra asked confused

“Because you did not need to share all of that with me, you could have just told me that it was because of your grandmother. But instead you allowed me in, how many people have you told that whole story to?” Adora asked reaching out to grab Catra’s hands

“Just one, Scorpia she is my best friend. And Mira’s mother” Catra said softly giving Adora's hands a squeeze

“Thank you Catra, I will hold that information close to my heart” Adora sais smiling gently

“Your smile is beautiful” Catra said truthfully

“So is yours. Now I owe you a date, when would you like to go?” Adora said not letting go of Catra’s hands

“I do not have any plans tonight, do you want to go for dinner?” Catra asked nervously

“I have a few more things to do, but I can meet you there. I just will have to wait on my uber” Adora said gently

“No car?” Catra asked surprised

“It is in the shop, something decided to break. I will have it back tomorrow” Adora chuckled gently

“Well I drove here. I will not make a lady take an uber if I can drive. Well as long as you do not mind me waiting here” Catra added in

“As long as you do not mind sitting here while I fill out forms. I do have some books you can look through if you want” Adora said gesturing to the bookshelf

Catra nodded, this was how she had hoped the meeting would go. She felt another squeeze of her hands before Adora stood and made her way back to her desk. Standing as well she began looking through the titles in front of her, grabbing a smaller book she returned to her seat. Looking up she found Adora chewing on the end of her pen as she stared at the forms in front of her. Maybe this could go somewhere, Catra really hoped it would.

Chapter 4

Adora had a hard time keeping her mind on the forms in front of her, she knew it was only a change at getting the funding for this tour. One historian per commonwealth country were chosen and she knew there were more then just her applying but she needed to try. The shuffling of the turning page brought her back to the present, rubbing her eyes she realized her glasses were off to the side and no wonder why they were beginning to bother her. Adora heard a small groan as she placed the glasses onto her face, finding Catra watching her as though she was the most beautiful person she had ever seen. Blushing she turned her attention once more to the forms, flipping the page she began reading the next section. She was surprised to see that she was able to bring one person with her as an assistant if she so saw fit, looking quickly at Catra she did not know where this was going to go but she checked the box stating she would be bringing a second person just in case.

Catra watched her closely, her golden hair and strong but soft facial features had her going crazy and the blue eyes that kept looking up at her made her heart pound in her chest. Her body was solid she could tell but there was a softness to it as well, she wondered if Adora was a gym rat or if she was just lucky enough to that well muscled even with the estrogen coursing through her veins. Catra hardly knew this women in front of her but she was not leaving her mind any times soon.

“Alright. That was the last of it. Are you ready or do you want to continue reading?” Adora asked gently putting her glasses away

“I am ready. I will make sure to keep the page number in my mind for next time” Catra countered smirking

“Confident in a next time already?” Adora chuckled standing and grabbing her coat

“I would hope so yes. Now any specific place for dinner? Wait do you have any allergies?” Catra asked quickly

“No allergies. And no preferences. You choose” Adora said watching Catra think

“Perfect, sushi it is” Catra smirked

“Oh that does sound good” Adora said as she led them back through the museum

Catra smiled at the taller women, looking around once more at the areas she had seen on her way in but was to nervous to fully take in. Stopping at the window with the artifacts inside she heard Adora’s heels stop before the clicking sound came beside her.

“Interesting isn’t it? The items in there right now were donated by a family, their great grandfather and grandfather fought in the first and second world war. The items you see here were items they brought back and the gear they kept, as well as their medals and honor's. Most of the items are in amazing condition but the fabrics are a little moth eaten, so we are restoring what we can and preserving the others so no more damage can happen to them” Adora explained

“That is amazing, I take it there is a large warehouse of items that have been donated and are waiting to be displayed?” Carta inquired

“You are correct. We try to always have medals that are donated on display, we add to the exhibit once a month. While items like the trench art you see there will be added when we do our yearly update and clean” Adora explained

“That is amazing. So do you do restoration as well?” Catra inquired as they continued to walk

“No. I am a doctor of military history. I deal with the information and fact while Makayla who you would have seen earlier is the restoration head” Adora said smiling

“You are incredibly smart then yes?” Catra asked

“Smart in books yes. Smart in life? Not so much” Adora said shrugging

“Hey now you are brilliant don’t put yourself down in front of me princess” Catra stated annoyed

“Princess?” Adora asked as they came to the front entrance

“Well yes. You look like a princess and should be treated like one” Catra stated as she blushed realizing she had given her a pet name already

“Sweet talker I see” Adora said blushing

“I can be yes. Here we are” Catra said pointing to her truck

“Of course you drive a big super duty truck” Adora said rolling her eyes

“Hey what is that supposed to mean?” Catra feigned annoyance as she opened Adora’s door

“Small dick syndrome much?” Adora joked slipping into the truck

“Nah, I got one of every size so no issue there princess” Carta smirked closing the door behind her

Adora was surprised at how easy flirting with Catra was, she was never one to flirt so openly outside of a bar but this was perfect. The small chat on the way to the sushi place was nice and calm, mostly chatting about work and never straying into anything to important. The truck came to a stop and before she could even undo her seatbelt Catra was already out of the truck and at her door and helping her out. Soon they were seated as the little boats slowly made their way around bringing them plate after plate of food.

“So tell me princess, you have family here in Ottawa?” Catra asked pointing her chopsticks at her

“I do. I am a only child, so my mother and father still live here” Adora said softly watching the boats

“I take it they did not take this well?” Catra asked motioning at her

“They did actually. I was always a feminine child so I tried to push it away by getting involved in sports and weight lifting. But the day I graduated I told my parents I was a women, my mother looked at me and then pulled me into a hug telling me she had always known. My father understood but he was still a little put off about it, I ruined the male line but I also decided I did not want to continue the male career path” Adora said shrugging

“What was that path?” Catra asked intrigued

“Every male in the family has joined the military. So he was upset, he is a high ranking colonel so he is well respected and well known so it was a kick in the teeth for him. But when I told him that after I was done my bachelor’s in history that I would be going on and doing military history it helped soften the blow” Adora said gently

“I am glad you have such supporting parents. Sometimes the best plans don’t go the way that others want them to, and those who love us completely will learn to deal with it” Catra said shrugging

“You know what to say don’t you?” Adora said smirking

“Sometimes, I try but I don’t always do the greatest at it. But I try” Catra said shrugging

“Well you are doing an amazing job” Adora said gently

“Thanks princess. Oh come on” Catra grumbled as her phone began ringing

“You can pick it up” Adora pushed

“It is just Scorpia, I can call her back later” Catra stated pushing her phone to the side

“She is calling you again” Adora said pointing at the phone now ringing again

“I am sorry” Catra stated as she picked up her phone

“What is it?” Catra grumbled

“Auntie?” Mira asked

“Yes? Why are you calling me twice in a row?” Catra asked sighing

“Momma and mom said we are going to go swimming on Sunday” Mira said excited

“That is great. You will have fun, but I am just at dinner with a friend right now” Catra said sighing again at the pre teen

“Can you come as well? Are you at dinner with that nice lady from the museum?” Mira asked

“I can come yes. I will find out more information from your mothers and yes I am at dinner with Adora” Catra said looking up finding Adora smiling at her

“She can come to! Invite her swimming...” Mira asked as her voice got quieter

“I am so sorry wildcat. Is Mira bothering you?” Scorpia asked

“Just having dinner with Adora. I will talk to you tomorrow okay?” Catra chuckled

“Oh lucky lady. See you tomorrow” Scorpia said as a click was heard

“She seems very excited to talk to you” Adora said sipping her water

“Mira is a sweet kid, love her dearly but she can be a little over the top sometimes” Catra chuckled

“What did the sweet child want?” Adora asked

“She is going swimming on Sunday, and she wants me to come. Then she found out I was out with you and she wants you to come swimming. Only if you want...” Catra asked nervously

“Oh, I haven’t been swimming in years” Adora said softly

“Don’t worry about it then. I shouldn’t have asked, we are still getting to know each other” Catra said now worried

“What if I want to?” Adora asked watching her

“Then I would love for you to come swimming” Catra said smiling widely

“I need to get a swim suit but yes I will come swimming” Adora said smiling

Catra could not help her massive smile, soon the bill came and Catra had it in her hands before Adora could even reach for it. Getting into her truck she punched in Adora’s adress as they continued to chat learning a little more about each other. Catra looked around finding that she knew the area that they were heading into and soon she was three blocks away from her shop as she dropped Adora off at a small townhouse.

“My shop is three blocks away from here” Catra chuckled

“Is it really?” Adora asked surprised

“It is. I will show you it one time, well if you want to” Catra said now nervous

“I would like to” Adora said smiling as Catra opened her door

“So you want to do this again?” Catra asked worried as they walked to her front door

“I am coming swimming with you on Sunday. I would like to see where this goes, swimming can be our second date?” Adora inquired

“I like that. Well I had a good night” Catra said her heart pounding in her chest

“I had a lovely night. I am glad you came back” Adora said watching Catra’s lips as she spoke

“Me to. Adora....Can I kiss you?” Catra asked her voice trembling

“Is that what you want?” Adora asked surprised

“It is” Catra said stepping forward

“Then yes” Adora said as Catra placed a gentle kiss on her lips

Chapter 5

Adora watched as Catra’s truck drove away, this was not how she had expected her day to go. They had stood outside kissing on and off for another five minutes before Catra finally pulled back her face red as she realized they had yet to exchange phone numbers. Closing the door she leaned against it watching as Swiftwind her mini Australian shepherd came running up his whole body shaking in excitement.

“Hey Swifty. I am sorry I was so late, did you enjoy having auntie Glimmer come by?” Adora said squatting down to him as she ran her hands along his soft coat

“Auntie Glimmer is still here” Glimmer stated poking her head out of the living room

“Why are you still here? I asked you to come by hours ago” Adora said surprised

“Well Bow is out with friends tonight, and you said you were going out for dinner with a new friend. So...” Glimmer stated smiling knowingly

“She is amazing, and hot and amazing and so masc. She is everything I want in a women, and she wants to see where this goes. She was a little stunned about me not having bottom surgery yet but she is willing to try” Adora said blushing

“You are a catch Adora, how did you meet her?” Glimmer asked as they walked into the kitchen

“The bar, she came in and I served her a drink and kissed her and yeah” Adora said blushing more

“And yeah? Very smart words for such a smart women” Glimmer chuckled

“Hey now, this is new for me. She is so sweet and such a gentleman, I want to see where this goes” Adora said smiling as she leaned against the counter

“What does she do for work? How old? Animals? Family?” Glimmer began asking as she popped open a can of pop

“She is thirty, and has a cat and family is a touchy subject. Hold onto that pop when I tell you her job” Adora said smiling

“What does she do?” Glimmer asked intrigued

“She is a tattoo artist, and she is covered in them!” Adora said blushing

“The doctor and the tattoo artist, that sounds like some reality show” Glimmer said laughing

“Yeah it does. I just want to see where this goes” Adora said running her hand along Swifty’s back

“When are you seeing her again?” Glimmer asked

“Sunday, I am going swimming with her and her friends. But I need a bathing suit, can we go shopping after work tomorrow?” Adora asked hopefully

“Of course, you know I never say no to shopping. Now I still have time, I want to hear about your meeting from the beginning” Glimmer pushed

Adora chuckled at her best friend, Glimmer had been her neighbor since childhood. Even when she presented as male, Glimmer was still her best friend. She was the first person she had told about being a women, the smile and love that was given made Adora know that it would be alright and that she could get through it all. Glimmer had chosen to say in Ottawa after school and had attended college to become a hairdresser while her husband had come into their lives in the ninth grade and never left. Bow on the other hand was a transman who had been transitioning since a young age and always allowed Adora to ask the questions she needed. He had attended trade school and now owned and operated his own welding company. Adora loved her friends and the love they had for each other but she did wish that she could have what they had, maybe in time she would. So she began the story, Glimmer never once interrupting as Adora watched her smiled grow larger and larger.

*****

“So” Scorpia stated

“So what?” Catra countered

“How was you night? How did it go after you left out place” Scorpia said leaning back in her chair

“It went well. I apologized, she took it and we are seeing what happens” Catra said shrugging

“You are smitten with her!” Scorpia yelled

“I am not” Catra said her blush exposing her lie

“You are so. When are you seeing her next?” Scorpia pushed standing at the coffee maker

“Sunday, Mira invited her to swimming so she is coming. Hope that is okay” Catra said now worried

“That is totally fine, I want to meet the women who has captivated your mind” Scorpia stated

“She has not!” Catra said throwing a glove at her

“She has so! Fuck wildcat the coffee maker isn’t working” Scorpia stated annoyed

“Oh come on! Shit no coffee today, I won’t have time to grab a new one” Catra said as the bell above the front door went off

Catra watched as first client walked in, followed minutes later by the other three artists she employed as well as the piercer. Slowly the clients filed in, she was proud of what she had accomplished and knew she would not give it up for anything. Three hours later and she was giving her client a break, pulling her phone out she found a text from Adora.

Adora
I had a wonderful night thank you

Catra
I did as well. How is your day going?

Adora
Long. I just got out of a four hour meeting about fundraising for the veterans foodbank. We can’t figure out what to do, we are thinking a gala but that is hard to do and now I am rambling I am so sorry

Catra
Gala sounds good, why not something smaller? Get a business to do a event like a book shop or cafe?

Adora
I like that idea, you should be on the board. I need more coffee to stay awake for the rest of the day now lol

Catra
I wish, I have had none. I ran out of coffee pods for my personal coffee maker and the shops coffee maker stopped working
today. And I am super busy...I guess I could order coffee but I don't trust that it will come not spilled

Adora
That sucks, what do you drink? Just for future knowledge

Catra
Black coffee princess. Got to go, have another hour on this tattoo then half an hour until my next one comes in. Ill text you
when I can. If you want that is....

Adora
I would like that. Talk then

Adora looked at her phone, it was a slow day with no other meetings scheduled. Sending off a few emails she grabbed her jacket before making her way from the building. She had put in more overtime in the past few months then needed and as she was salaried she was not being paid for them so she was going to take the time. She was glad she was able to pick her car up first thing that morning, slipping in she pulled her phone out before looking up Catra’s shop. Soon she was googling the closest Tim Horton’s and she now understood why no one had time to go and grab it. The closest was a fifteen minute drive in good traffic, so off she went. The drive was nice but her mind was battling with itself, she barely knew her and here she was leaving work early so she could bring her coffee.

Passing the shop by accident the first time she had to go around the block before being able to come back around and park in the small parking lot beside the shop. Grabbing the coffee and donuts she took a deep breath and stepped out of her car and towards the front door, pushing it open she was greeted to she buzzing sound and quiet voices of those int he shop.

“Can I help you?” Marie asked

“What? Oh no, yes. I am a friend of Catra’s is she done her client?” Adora stumbled over her words

“Yes she is, can I grab your name...Oh Catra” Marie said watching her come back onto the waiting area

“Hey princess, I did not expect you” Catra said smiling widely

“I know, I was done for the day so thought might as well leave early and bring you coffee and check out the shop” Adora said now blushing

“Don’t do this to often she will come to expect it. I am Scorpia, you must be Adora” Scorpia said coming around the corner

“Nice to meet you” Adora said laughing gently

“She is beautiful wildcat” Scorpia said winking taking the coffee and donuts from her hands

“Talking about me?” Adora inquired

“Yes well yes. Did you really get me a coffee as well? You got a mass party container. I didn’t need a special one for myself” Catra said as she was handing her own coffee

“I know, but I wanted to make sure you got some. So it is your own. I just wanted to drop that off, I should let you get back to your job” Adora said blushing

“Well princess, my next client had to reschedule unfortunately she broke her ankle this morning. So I am free, come Ill show you around” Catra said reaching and grabbing her hand and leading her into the shop

Adora enjoyed the feeling of Catra’s hand in her own, her hand was smaller but it fit perfectly. Adora knew she was not small, standing a six foot without heals on she towered over most women and her hands were large but this was perfect. She loved the shop, it wasn’t huge but it allowed for five tattoo stations as well as a piercing station to be comfortably situated inside. The walls were covered with art from the artists as well as art that looked to be found at different conventions. A picture of Catra and her grandmother hung proudly above her station, Adora had not realized she was staring but she felt Catra’s hand squeeze gently bringing her back to the here and now. Scanning more she came to rest on a station covered in military pictures and flags. Stepping towards it she stayed out of the way as a middle age man sat fiddling with his tools.

“Can I help you miss?” The man asked

“What? Sorry, I just was admiring your pictures” Adora said gently

“Adora this is Rick, Rick this is Adora” Catra introduced them

“Nice to meet you, what caught your eye?” Rick asked

“You were apart of the Calgary highlanders. Retired as a captain, and did three tours in the middle east am I correct?” Adora asked scanning the pictures

“How in the world?” Rick said chuckling

“This would be Dr. Adora Grayskull, she is a doctor of military history” Catra chuckled

“Keep this one Cat, she is good” Rick said pointing at her

“We aren’t, I mean we are but not” Adora stumbled

“Take your time, young relationships are easy to do but hard to maintain” Rick said shrugging

“Thanks Rick. Come on Princess, you want a tattoo?” Catra asked jokingly

“What? No, yes...maybe at some point” Adora said tripping on what she was saying

“Do I make you nervous?” Catra asked as Adora sat on her tattoo bed

“You do, it is hard not to be. You are just so confident, and yeah” Adora said blushing

“Well you make me nervous to. So it isn’t just you” Catra said sipping her coffee

“That sound is so peaceful” Adora said after listening to the buzzing

“It is, I love the sound. I find it calming” Catra answered looking around

“I can see why. I should just play tattoo machine sounds when I have to go through meetings” Adora chuckled

“I hope you can find a way to do a fundraiser, that food bank needs donations” Catra said softly

“What food bank?” Rick asked

“The veteran’s foodbank, I work for the Canadian war museum. We do a yearly fundraiser for the foodbank but we are trying to figure out how to do it. I could do a gala but that is a lot more work and time, we could ask a cafe but it is hard to know” Adora said almost defeated

“Why not ask a tattoo shop? I know one shop I did my apprenticeship at did that” Rick said as his next client walked in

“That is an amazing idea, now I just need a tattoo shop” Adora said sighing

“Your sitting in it princess. I am willing to give my time for a weekend, and all tattoos are a base price for a certain size. And then all proceeds go to the food fundraiser. I will see if the others will do it” Catra offered

“That is to much Catra, we barely know each other” Adora protested

“I know, but this isn’t just for you. But also for the veterans. When do you need to know?” Catra inquired

“A week until we have to come to a decision. Thank you” Adora said softly

“Of course Princess” Catra said smirking

“Can I kiss you?” Adora asked softly

Catra looked at her surprised before standing and stepping towards her, placing her hands on either side of Adora’s thighs she leaned in before placing a gentle soft kiss on her lips. This was something she could get used to, slow and steady she wanted to make this work with Adora and she believed Adora wanted that as well.

Chapter 6

Adora spent another hour in the shop until the bell above the front door rang and a women walked in wanting to see if there was a walk in available. She could tell Catra was fighting with herself, but a small smile and pat of her cheek Adora showed her that it was okay as she stood, she took a chance as she bent down to steal a gentle and quick kiss from Catra before she walked out of the tattoo area and past Catra’s new client. The drive home was quick, stepping inside her townhouse she found Swifty fast asleep on his back as he dreamed a good dream.

“Ready for a walk?” Adora asked as he woke from his nap

Adora chuckled, checking her phone she found that Glimmer would be done in an hours time and would come by so they could go shopping together. And so their walk began, the weather was beginning to warm but small patches of snow could still be seen. Each small pile was a new snack for Swifty as he bounced from spot to spot excitedly. She had not realized where they were heading as she now once again outside Catra’s shop. Shaking her head at the fact that the shop was only three blocks away, she knew she would be spending more time here then she meant to.

“You know you could have just stayed a little longer” Scorpia stated as she walked up the sidewalk

“I did not mean to come by but our walk seemed to just to lead here” Adora said chuckling

“It happens when you are smitten with the person who works here” Scorpia said smirking

“I am not smitten” Adore countered

“But you are, both of you are. You will just have obstacles but you will make this work, I have never seen Catra allow someone they were interested in their shop for so long and in the main tattooing area. She normally would say high to them in the front waiting area. But you are special, so just see how it goes” Scorpia said smiling still

“But I do not have what she wants, I think she will realize she doesn’t want what I have and she will just leave. They all do” Adora said as Swifty barked

“I know buddy, he knows when I get stressed and upset” Adora said kneeling to pet him

“Do not let what could happen completely cloud your mind. You both have things to learn but she wouldn’t be kissing you like she was if she was going to turn her back on you” Scorpia said gently

“Thank you, how long have you known her?” Adora asked

“Since we were children. Catra has a tough shell but when you crack it she is the sweetest and kindest soul you will ever meet” Scorpia said now petting Swifty

“Good to know. I should go though, I have a shopping date with my best friend” Adora said smiling at her

“I will see you on Sunday if not earlier” Scorpia chuckled as she walked away

Catra watched from the spot she sat in as her client looked over the stencil that was placed on her skin. The knowing look from Scorpia when she walked in told her how much she liked Adora. The young women was smiling ear to ear as she sat back on the tattoo bed as Catra began.

*****

“So what do you want for a swimsuit?” Glimmer asked as they walked through the mall

“I do not know. I think maybe a two piece, might as well show off the boobs that I grew myself” Adora chuckled

“And bottoms?” Glimmer countered

“That I do not know. I think a pair of shorts, then I can tuck much easier” Adora said softly

“Oh you are going to look so sexy, Catra will love it” Glimmer smirked

Adora rolled her eyes, she still had a hard time being called sexy and beautiful no matter how many people have told her it. She never felt attractive in the least bit until her transition and even then she only fully liked her appearance starting two years before when she had finally finished the electrolysis to rid her of the beard that she had had since she was in her teens. She knew she would never give up the muscles though, it was one thing she loved about herself. The outline of a sixpack and muscles that crisscrossed her back. She wondered what Catra would think when she saw it for the first time, would she like it or would she be disgusted by it.

“Adora? Earth to Adora” Glimmer said waving her hand in front of her face

“What? Yes, sorry just thinking” Adora said looking around

“About?” Glimmer pushed

“Don’t worry. Come on let us go shop” Adora said pulling her into the swimsuit shop

Adora began looking, she could hear Glimmer searching on the other side as she felt items now being placed in her arms. That is how the next half an hour went until her arms were full and Glimmer was shoving her towards the change rooms. Another half an hour and the swimwear was found, Glimmer was smiling ear to ear as Adora paid for the items as they continued on their shopping trip.

*****

“And that is why I believe doing a fundraiser at a tattoo shop would be a good way to unite the younger and older generation in a fundraiser” Adora explained to the board

“That is a intriguing idea. Do you have a shop in mind? Or know of one that may wish to help” The head of the board asked

“I have one that is willing to do it, I just have to work out the rest of the details” Adora said confidently

“And what shop is this?” Another board member asked

“Never forget, I know the co-owner. She is willing to do it, if we agree to it” Adora explained

“I want you to write up a proposal and have her agree to it and we will agree” The head of the board stated

“Will do” Adora said as the board continued to talk

Adora felt her phone go off as she looked around she found everyone paying attention to something else so she quickly pulled it out.

Catra
How was your meeting?

Adora
Still going, we will need to talk about the tattoo event on Sunday as well if that is okay?

Catra
Works for me princess, means I get more time with you. Maybe dinner after swimming?

Adora
I would like that. We could do it my place? You can meet Swifty

Catra
That sound wonderful, I will cook though. I will leave you be, hopefully you have lots of coffee to get through the rest of the meeting

Adora
I wish, I drank my morning coffee already and have not had a chance to get more. I really need more, shit I have to go

“As I was saying Dr. Hordak has decided to retire, with that we are now needing head historian. There will be no interview process or outside hiring. We as the board had decided that you Dr. Grayskull will be promoted into the position. Do you agree?” The head of the board asked

“I well, yes. Of course” Adora rambled

“Excellent. A new contract will be on your desk by tomorrow, and it will show your increased salary. Now we are receiving a massive donation of medals....” The head of the board said as Adora began tuning him out

She was the new head historian, she had not expected to be in this position until she was much older if ever. She continued to listen but not listening as well as she should have. The next hour passed before they were all fully released, making her way from the board room she found no new texts but she assumed Catra was in the middle of a tattoo.

“Oh Dr. Grayskull, there is a young women in the main area asking for you. We have been trying to call your office but I did not realize you were in a meeting still” One of the front desk workers said

“Thank you” Adora said her heart racing

Adora turned around before making her way to the front area, and there Catra sat coffee and a box of timbits in her hands. She had a sleeveless shirt on and Adora could see every tattoo that covered her skin, she wanted to map each and every piece of art.

“Staring at me?” Catra asked smiling

“Yes, I just can’t believe how many tattoo’s you have” Adora said taking the coffee from her hand

“Well you can always see the ones on my neck, and the ones on my arms most of the time. Just wait till we go swimming, you will see even more” Catra said smirking

“You are trying to kill me” Adora said waving for her to follow

“Am I? The prim and proper doctor turned on by my tattoos?” Catra said before clamping a hand over her mouth

“And the tattoo artist has a mouth on her” Adora said blushing

“I should not have said that, sorry. That was out of bounds, not something we talked about” Catra said truthfully

“It is okay, you did not offend me. And you were correct in what you said” Adora said walking into her office

“Good to know. Now how did your proposal for the tattoo event go?” Catra asked sitting in the same chair as before

“Good, I need to write up a proposal and have you agree but we are doing it” Adora said smiling

“Perfect. Everyone in the shop is on board, we will do it Friday and Saturday. All tattoos are by donation and all donations will go to the foodbank” Catra explained

“Two days? That is a loss of money for you” Adora said worried

“Nah, we are all wanting to do it” Catra said truthfully

“What did I do to deserve you?” Adora asked without realizing what she said

“Being a kind human who I am very glad kissed me a week ago” Catra countered

“Me to” Adora said watching Catra as she did the same

Chapter 7

Catra did not mean to continue to sit in Adora’s office but the few minutes she had planned on staying went on and on. Catra had grabbed the book she had been reading before once more and flipped through the pages, she had no more appointments for the day so she would stay until she was told to leave. She perked up as the phone on Adora’s desk began to ring, she made the motion to close her book and stand and leave but Adora waved her hand telling her in silence to stay sitting.

“Hello, Dr. Grayskull speaking” Adora said putting the phone on speaker as she scribbled away

“Do you not know how to answer your phone dear?” Adora’s mother asked

“I am sorry mom, I didn’t feel it go off” Adora said sheepishly

“Well now I have you here. Your father has some big news” Adora’s mother stated

“I do as well, what is father’s news?” Adora inquired

“He is planning on retiring this June, finally after forty-seven years!” Adora’s mother said happily

“That is great mom, are you doing a party?” Adora asked cheerfully as she mouthed sorry to Catra

“We are but it is only March so we have some time. Now what is your news?” Adora’s mother asked

“I got a promotion. The head historian retired, I have been asked to replace him” Adora said watching Catra’s eyes grow big

“That is amazing, oh your father is going to be so proud of you. You are coming for dinner on Sunday” Adora’s mother insisted

“I can’t I have plans” Adora countered

“What is more important then your parents?” Adora’s mother asked annoyed

“Well I have a date. We are swimming then we are having dinner together, so I can’t do dinner” Adora said worried

“You have a date?! Who is she? Is she nice, how long have you been dating? Does she know about you? She better, no more metal plates in your face because you forgot to tell someone your secret” Adora’s mother stated

“Her name is Catra and she is lovely. And we are not dating, we are just going on dates to get to know each other. And yes mother she knows and accepts it, so no more having my face beat in” Adora said shaking her head

“Not dating? That surprises me Adora, I would have expected you to make her your girlfriend. You do not do anything casual. Well ask her to come for dinner with you then, we would like to meet her” Adora’s mother asked

“Ask her yourself then mother” Adora said mouthing sorry once more

“She is in the room with you? And you did not tell me?! Hello Catra, my name is Marlena and my husband is Randor. My daughter has never talked about a women before, I know this must be very overwhelming but how about you two come for dinner on Sunday?” Marlena asked

“I well, uh yes sure. If Adora wants that” Catra said tripping over her words

“Yes, only if you want that” Adora said softly

“Perfect. We will see you at five, oh your father is going to be so happy for you” Marlena stated

“Yes he will be. We will see you then mother, have a good rest of your day” Adora said

“Good day to you to dear” Marlena stated before she hung up

“I am so sorry. My mother can be a little much at times, I was the child that they never expected. My parents were thirty-five when they had me. They had tried for years and nothing happened, so they came to a belief they would not have a child and then I was the miracle baby. She means well I promise” Adora said softly

“Your parents love you dearly, and I am happy they are so accepting of you. And willing to meet someone you are interested in” Catra said truthfully

“Catra I know it has only been a week of knowing each other but something pulls me to you. You are on my mind constantly, I know you said you wanted to take it slow. But can we take it slow but in that slowness can we have a title to what we are?” Adora asked pushing her glasses up her nose

“You do not like having things up in limbo do you?” Catra said poking fun at her

“No I do not. I hate it, it eats away at me. This isn’t eating away at me yet but what my mother said hit the nail on the head. I do not do anything casual, I have my doctorate for fucks sakes at such a young age because I knew what I wanted” Adora said watching her closely

“Well princess, I have to agree with you. I cannot get you out of my mind, the moment you said you needed more coffee it sent off the urge to see you again. It has only been three days since I saw you last, it is literally Friday and I could not wait any longer to see you even though I see you on Sunday. It will take time to become fully comfortable with the package you have. But I will do my best because I like you, and I really want to see where this goes” Catra said smiling

“Well you are a masc lesbian, I have a preference for masc lesbians. So I know the fact that I have a penis is a turn off to almost all the masc lesbians I have ever met. So I will not be upset if you decide to just say no if it gets to that point” Adora said her voice hitching

“Hey now princess, don’t think that way okay? I like you for you, and what you have is just extra okay?” Catra stated standing and walking to stand beside her

“Apart of me still worries I will be alone for the rest of my life, I always wanted a relationship like my parents. But I have come to understand that I will most likely never have what they have” Adora said looking up at her

Catra looked down at her, reaching out she took her glasses off before placing them gently on the table. Running her calloused hand along her cheek she saw the faint scar that she had never noticed before as she ran her thumb along it. She watched as Adora leaned into her hand, as Catra slowly ran her thumb along her soft skin.

“Well Adora, you may not get what your parents have. But I would like to see where this goes, slowly for us to both learn. I have been in many relationships and one night stands, but never with soemone who has a penis. While you have never been in a relationship or a one night stand” Catra said softly tilting Adora’s head to look up at her

“So what do you want to do? I know what I wish for” Adora said enjoying the feeling of Catra’s hand on her cheek making her look up

“What do you wish for beautiful?” Catra asked holding her head to continue looking at her

“I would like to date you and see what happens” Adora said licking her lips as her heart pounded in her chest

“Then would you like to be my girlfriend?” Catra asked confidently

“Yes. What do you want to be called?” Adora asked

“Your girlfriend is fine princess. I will tell you if I want to be called something different, I do prefer handsome to beautiful though. I think you figured that one out at the club though” Catra said gently

“Can I kiss you?” Adora asked softly

“You do not need to ask anymore, you are free to kiss me all you want” Catra said leaning down to meet her halfway

Catra felt her heart pounding in her chest, Adora’s soft lips against hers drove her crazy. She wanted to kiss her harder but she knew to allow Adora to set the pace, but as though she was reading her mind she felt her mouth open slightly as her tongue ran along her bottom lip. Catra took that as consent to open her own mouth as she allowed Adora’s tongue to slip inside her mouth as they battled for dominance as she chased it into Adora’s mouth. The loud moan went straight up Catra’s spine, as her hand slipped from Adora’s cheek to her hair as she threaded her fingers through the base of her ponytail and pulled her head down allowing her better access. Adora’s hands came to the front of her shirt clutching at it as they continued to learn each others mouths. Catra finally pulled back, Adora’s cheeks were red as she breathed heavily but she licked her lips as she pulled away.

“To much?” Catra asked worried

“Not at all, that was wow. You are wow” Adora said softly

“Such big amazing words for the doctor” Catra teased

“Oh hush you. I still have a couple hours of work to do, but would you want to have dinner just me and you tonight now that we do not get it on Sunday?” Adora asked

“I like that idea. I should get back to the shop and make sure Scorpia did not burn it down, but how about around six?” Catra asked still standing over her

“That works, means I can stop and get stuff to make dinner. Get us some good food to celebrate” Adora said softly

“Yes, we do need to celebrate. Congratulations on your promotion princess, I know this probably doesn’t mean much right now but I am proud of you” Catra said leaning down to kiss her forehead

“Oh, I like that” Adora said softly

“The forehead kisses?” Catra asked smirking

“Yes, they are so intimate and gentle” Adora said watching her

“Then a forehead kiss every time I see you then, now I will let you get to work. I will meet you at your place at six” Catra said leaning down once more but instead placing a kiss on her lips

Adora felt her lips touch hers before pulling away slowly, as though she did not want to end it. She felt the hand that was once again on her cheek slowly slide off. She watched as Catra slipped form her office and as the door closed she let out the breath she was holding. She was hopeful that this relationship would work but she knew that only time would tell but she did truly hope that Catra was the one.

Chapter 8

“You are smiling like an idiot” Scorpia stated as Catra walked into the shop

“Well I have my reasons” Catra countered chuckling

“Did you see the pretty lady again?” Mira asked coming around the corner

“I did, what are you doing here little monster?” Catra said ruffling her hair

“Mom had to go to the shop, something happened with a shipment she said. She was panicking!” Mira stated as a child always did

“That is never a good thing. Did you grab your stuff from my place?” Catra asked

“No, mommy said not to as you weren’t here” Mira shrugged

“Any time you are here you can go up and grab your stuff. You know the code and where it is. Off you go” Catra chuckled patting her cheek

“Thanks Auntie!” Mira said running to the locked door

“You shouldn’t give her free range like that” Scorpia said shaking her head

“She isn't going to create a mess in my place. She is my niece so she is allowed. It doesn’t stop you going up there and stealing stuff from my fridge” Catra countered smirking

“Okay fine good point. So tell me why are you smiling so widely” Scorpia asked as cleaned her station

“I may have a girlfriend” Catra said smiling

“Finally! I am surprised you did not ask her out the moment you saw her again, she is all you think of” Scorpia laughed loudly

“Well I needed time to figure it out. And I figured it out. Oh on a different note, her proposition was approved. We will be doing a tattoo fundraiser here” Catra said remembering she needed to tell Scorpia

“That works, this is the best fundraiser we could have chosen. Now are you coming for dinner tonight or do you have plans?” Scorpia asked eyeing her

“Plans, going to Adora’s for dinner. What time are we meeting for swimming?” Catra asked as Mira came back down

“Noon, normal place. Alright Mira, I know you just grabbed all your stuff from your aunts but I am all done so we are heading home” Scorpia chuckled seeing Mira pout

“It is okay, I will take it back up okay? Next time” Catra said patting Mira on the shoulder

“Okay. I will see you on Sunday?” Mira asked as Scorpia grabbed their coats

“Yes, see you then” Catra said smiling as the two walked out of the shop

Catra shook her head as she walked toward the door locking it behind them, soon she was walking into her place. She could wear the clothes she had on now but something about having another date with Adora made her feel as though she should have something nicer on. Looking at Melog who was laying in his favorite spot she smiled as she opened a can of wet food before scratching him behind his ears. Hopping into the shower she soon was stepping back out clean and refreshed, looking through her wardrobe she pulled out a pair of jeans before looking at the shirts. Pulling a long sleeve button up out she knew how she wanted to look at that moment and hoped that Adora wouldn’t mind. Heading back into the bathroom she made sure her torso was fully dry before finding the tape she kept for moments like this. She loved her chest but sometimes she didn’t want boobs but instead a flat chest to be able to wear open shirts. Pulling the tape to the proper length she began taping her breasts down. Pulling the shirt on soon she left the top three buttons open allowing a good view of her chest and tattoos. A little gel in her hair and she was good, grabbing a jacket she checked the time before making her way from her place. Stopping at the small wine shop on her way she grabbed a bottle of rose before making her way towards Adora’s. The spring weather was slowly beginning to come around, there was still a little snow on the ground but the temperature was slowly getting better and better. Stopping at her front door ten minutes later she stood outside her door, she was nervous for some strange reason as she raised her hand and knocked on the door. A loud barking was heard before the gentle voice of Adora telling them to be nice as she opened the door, and Catra couldn’t breath.

Adora stood there her golden hair tied into the ponytail she had learned was common with that silly little poof in the front, her glasses rested low on her nose. Her eyes scanned her body the red blouse she had been wearing under the blazer was now on show, she found it to be sleeveless as she admired the muscles in her arms as she held Swifty back. Her eyes trailed down to find her no longer in dress pants but instead a pair of skin tight jeans that showed off her muscled thighs and most likely her firm sculpted ass. Catra gulped as she looked back up finding Adora blushing as she smiled gently. Catra did not know why Adora made her feel as though she was a fumbling teenager not the confident women that she was.

“Uh hi, wine?” Catra managed to get out holding out the wine

“Do I make you nervous?” Adora chuckled beckoning her to come in

“No well yes, but you are just beautiful” Catra said stepping inside

“Well thank you, and you aren’t to bad either” Adora chuckled

“Where should I put my jacket?” Catra asked looking around the townhouse

“Just to your left, and this little fluff but is Swiftwind or Swifty for short” Adora stated as Swifty began poking her with his nose

“Well hello Swifty. You are very fluffy, I bet your mother brushes you every day” Catra said squatting down and petting him

Adora watched Catra, Swifty didn’t normally warm up to people this quickly but the way he was wiggling his but as she pet him told her everything. She scanned Catra, the jeans she wore clung to her in the perfect way but were still baggy and just Catra. The shirt she wore on the other hand fit her perfectly, showing off her small but strong frame. Looking down she found the buttons undone and just skin and tattoos, she wondered if she had taped her breasts down and added it to her list to ask. Soon Catra was standing up once more smiling up at her, Adora took the chance and bent down as she captured Catra’s lips. Catra was startled but immediately pressed harder into Adora’s lips before feeling Adora pull away.

“See you do not need to ask to kiss me” Catra teased

“I still am nervous but that was a step. Now come on in, dinner should be just about done” Adora said gently

Catra nodded, following closely behind her she walked into the large open living room that was filled with bookcase upon bookcase with a very comfy looking couch and a large TV. Looking beside her hse found the kitchen and a small table, the kitchen wasn’t large but it was modern. The granite counters and stainless steel appliances worked well with the light colored cabinets. She watched as Adora pulled out a wine opener and two glasses before handing them to her, she understood what she wanted as Adora began pulling the food from the oven and off the stove. Catra’s couldn’t help but have her stomach growl at the smell of what she found out to be chicken with mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts with a side of what looked like bacon but she was not sure. She poured the wine as she placed it on the table as Adora did the same with their food, with a small bowl filled with bacon.

“Being that your grandmother was Jewish, I did not know if you observed or did not. So I don’t normally eat brussels sprouts without bacon but I did not cook the veggies with it just in case. So that is why it is in a bowl” Adora said blushing

“That was incredibly thoughtful of you. I do not observe. My grandmother did till the day she died, but she never forced it on me. It was my choice if I wanted to be apart of a religion, and I did not. So yes I eat bacon, and dairy with meat and all of that. So no worry there princess” Catra chucked scooping a large helping of bacon onto her plate

“I should have asked before, and I started freaking out and panicking when I was cooking” Adora said taking the bowl

“I have no food restrictions, I don’t particularly like peppers or whole tomatoes but other then that I am pretty good for eating anything” Catra said stabbing a piece of chicken

“Good to know. I eat everything, and have no food restrictions” Adora explained

“Good to know, I am amazed you aren't particular with your food. You are so muscular” Catra chuckled

“I used to be years ago. But once I started estrogen I realized I did not need to be so particular. I hit the gym every day, but no longer do I need to be shredded like I once was. The muscle I have now is what I want, and yes I know it is more then most women. Do you mind it?” Adora asked now worried

“Oh I do not mind it at all. I will admit that I enjoy watching the muscles in your arms as you move” Catra blushed

“Good to know. Maybe we go to the gym together one day? I have seen your arms” Adora smirked

“Want to get your hands one me already?” Catra countered chuckling

“I well, what? I didn’t mean, uh” Adora stammered out

“I would love to go to the gym with you. Do not get in your head, I like to tease. If it bothers you tell me okay? I do not mean to push or say things that bother you” Catra said gently

“Sorry, there are moments this feels so surreal to me. Give me your hand” Adora said reaching out for her hand

“Okay” Catra said reaching across the table allowing Adora to take her hand

“This right here is why I get so flustered. This is a metal plate that was put into my face because I did something without thinking. I am in my head a lot Catra, I fear saying or doing something wrong. This is all new to me, so I am sorry if I get flustered when you make comments like you did. Because I still cannot believe you are sitting here with me like this” Adora said pushing Catra’s finger against the scar on her cheek

“I will never be like her. I will never lay my hand on you in a harmful way, I want you to know that. I want to keep flirting with you, but I will watch how I flirt so not to get you to into your head okay?” Catra said running her thumb now gently along her cheek

“No keep flirting like you have been, I want to get used to it. Keep doing it” Adora said gently

“Tell me to stop if it gets to much okay?” Catra said as Swifty put his head in her lap

“Swifty no begging” Adora scolded as he moved back

“Oh he wasn’t begging” Catra chuckled

“Oh he is going to be spoiled by you. All his training will be gone” Adora said rolling her eyes

“Well if I spoil his mother, I need to spoil him as well” Catra said leaning on her hand as she looked at Adora

“Such a charmer, is that why you have all those buttons undone so that you can charm me?” Adora smirked pushing her plate away

“Somewhat, today I just felt like having my chest on show tonight was what I wanted. You enjoying the show was just a plus” Catra smirked

“Can I ask why you taped your chest? If not I understand” Adora added in quickly

“Sometimes I just wanted a flat chest, not that I am trans or non binary. But sometimes all I want is to be more masc presenting, so taping my chest down and allowing me to have an open shirt makes it better. Sometimes I bind, sometimes I use tape then other times it is just a sports bra. Does that bother you?” Catra asked as she stood taking their now empty plates

“Not at all, I think it is hot. As long as you are happy that is all that matters. I do like the show, I would like to see every tattoo that covers your body at some point” Adora said softly smirking

“You will get to see most of them when we swim on Sunday. Do you want to move to that comfy looking couch?” Catra asked

“Come on handsome” Adora said standing as she made her way to the couch before planting her butt on one end

“So tell me, where did you come up with your name? Because I have only ever heard that name in one show” Catra asked as she sat across from her

“Where have you heard that name?” Adora countered sipping the wine in her hand

“She-ra. I watched it growing up then when they made the new series it was even better. It is why I use Catra as the shortened version of my name. I used to be called Cat but then I say that show and wanted to be called Catra” Catra said laughing as she remembered her childhood

“Same, I watched the original show as a child. I loved Adora, and I loved the name Adora. So when I came out, I knew that was my name” Adora said blushing

“So you are a princess” Catra teased

“I guess I am” Adora said blushing behind her wine glass

“I can treat you like a princess if you wish” Catra said placing her glass down

“I well, yes please” Adora said her breath hitching

“Can I kiss you?” Catra asked placing her glass down

“I thought we weren’t asking?” Adora asked confused

“We aren’t but I don’t want you to drop or spill your wine” Catra said taking her glass from her hands

“Oh, yes then” Adora said blushing

Catra placed the glass down as Adora had moved closer, Catra could not believe how beautiful she looked she was flustered. The blush that rose up her neck to her face was beautiful, turning she leaned forward as she placed her lips against Adora’s. She felt Adora’s hands come to rest on her sides, pushing harder into the kiss she felt Adora’s lips open as their tongues began to battle. The moan that escaped from Adora pushed Catra to run her hands along her sides and back before slipping into the base of Adora’s ponytail. Taking a chance she slipped a finger into the band and pulled it out of her hair allowing it to cascade along her back. This seemed to pushed Adora to dig her fingers into Catra’s sides as she clung to her shirt, Catra did not know how or when it happened but she felt Adora fall backwards as she ended up on top of her.

“Is this okay?” Catra pulled back as she straddled Adora’s leg as her knee pressed into Adora’s crotch

“Yes” Adora said pulling her back down into another kiss and not wanting the moment to end

Chapter 9

Catra hadn’t wanted the night to end but as the kissing continued she could tell that both of them were getting more and more heated and things would start that neither of them were ready for. She could feel Adora against her leg as the kissing continued, it was slow at first but soon she could feel how hard she had gotten from just the kissing. She did not know how to feel at first but that changed as her mind realized she was the reason Adora was hard and she wanted to to keep doing it again and again. They had finally parted almost two hours after they had collapsed into a heap on the couch, Catra could not get the way Adora looked out of her mind. Her swollen lips mixed with how flushed her face was, then the small raised red bite marks that she had began leaving on her neck. She had not asked but she had gently nipped once and the groan and grinding down of Adora’s body against her leg told her to continue. She knew that come Monday she most likely would still need to wear a turtle neck or lots of make up to cover the marks, the small kisses as they stood in Adora’s doorframe when she finally needed to leave made her heart flutter. The way Adora tried to cover her crotch but the bulge that had formed in the tight jeans told the whole story.

Catra groaned as Melog pawed at her face, the feisty cat sat on the pillow until Catra finally gave in and sat up. It was as though Melog knew the moment that she sat up that he could leave, a small meow as he walked from the room as Catra groaned. Grabbing her phone she found it was already close to ten in the morning, she was surprised Melog had allowed her to sleep for so long. Opening her phone as she slipped from bed she found that Adora had already text her.

Adora
Morning handsome. I hope you slept well, I wish I slept a little more but Swifty needed his morning run.

Catra
Morning beautiful. You sent that at six am, did you really go for a run already?

Adora
You are alive! And yes I did, we went for an hour run and then I have already been to the gym for my weight routine

Catra
No wonder why you are so ripped and sexy. How has the rest of your morning been?

Catra stretched as she walked to the pantry, she could care less that she was walking in her boxers and nothing else as it was her own home. Tipping food into Melog’s dish she began her morning routine of making coffee, soon she could hear the drip of the coffee filling her cup. Grabbing her phone she found another text from Adora already.

Adora
It was really good, until I turned my coffee maker on and it didn’t start

Catra
Up to you, but I got coffee and I can make breakfast. I don’t have to start tattooing until noon

Adora
Don’t think we are seeing each other to much so soon? LOL

Catra
I don’t think so, but if you do I totally understand

Adora
I am just bugging you. Ill be over in ten

Catra
Just come into the shop and come through that door I told you about

Adora chuckled, she could not believe how amazing the night had been. The feeling of Catra on top of her made her stomach go into knots, she may be smaller then her but the way her weight pressed into her it made everything perfect. She had felt self conscious quickly though, the way her clit as she liked to call it began to get hard faster then ever before. She had felt Catra freeze and she was almost ready to stop their make out session but she soon felt Catra’s leg pressing harder into her crotch and she knew this was okay and was going to be okay. So now she was dressed once again in jeans and a tight tank top with a sweater over it as she walked towards Catra’s shop. It was almost exactly ten minutes, stepping in she heard the bell ring as the girl at the front desk looked at her.

“Oh its you, Catra isn’t in yet” The receptionist stated

“I know, I am suppose to come in and go upstairs” Adora stated

“Yeah no, I don’t know who you are so you are not” The receptionist stated shaking her head

“Really? Do you want to call your boss down here to tell you she invited me up” Adora said annoyed

“She didn’t tell me she was expecting anyone. Catra never invites people upstairs other then Scorpia. So you are not going in the shop and waltzing up there” The receptionist stated crossing her arms

“What is going on? Why are you arguing? Oh hello Adora” Scorpia grumbled coming around the corner

“She said Catra invited her into her home. Catra did not give me notice of someone coming in” The receptionist stated shaking her head again

“Oh come on, you cannot tell someone to not go upstairs if Catra invited them And who are you to say who can and cannot go upstairs. You do not own this business nor Catra’s home, so you better watch what you do and say. If Adora here comes in she is allowed anywhere in this shop and is allowed up in Catra’s home. Now come on” Scorpia stated waving her to follow

“Thank you” Adora said softly shaking her head

“Of course, I think she is jealous. She almost seems to be obsessed with Catra, here we are. Go on up, and if she gives you trouble again let us know” Scorpia said smiling as she opened the door allowing Adora up the stairs

Adora heard the click of the door as well as the lock clicking into place. Walking up the stairs she came to another door where she knocked gently before the door opened with Catra standing there shorts and a shirt with the sleeves cut off hanging off her body.

“Hey princess, was Tanya giving you issue?” Catra said beckoning her inside

“Yes, until Scorpia put her in her place. Oh I love it” Adora said looking around

She stepped into a large open room, the walls were a dark grey but the lights that were hung through the home made it seem as though it was the brightest place she had ever seen. The walls were covered in art and paintings, while a whole wall was filled with five bookcases that were filled with books and binders. Looking around she found to her right a small kitchen table and to her left was the large open living room. Looking in front of her was the kitchen, the light colored cabinets mixed with the stainless steel appliances and a small island and it was perfect.

“It isn’t much but it works, if you go down the hall the first door on the left is the bathroom and then the first on the right is the guest bedroom. Then the door on the end of the hall is the master bedroom with a ensuite bath” Catra explained

“Oh wow, I don’t know what I expected but it wasn't this” Adora explained walking to the island as Catra began making her a coffee

“It shocks a lot of people when they come up here the first time” Catra explained shrugging

“Bring a lot of women here?” Adora teased but felt a little jealous

“Actually no, only one other partner has been here. That was when I first moved in here eight years ago. Every other one night stand has been at their place or in a car so on and so forth” Catra said shrugging as she put the coffee in front of her

“Really? So I am only the second girlfriend in here?” Adora asked surprised

“You are correct Princess, you are very special. And the ex who saw it only saw it when she helped me move in her and that was before we were partners. So technically you are the first person that I have been actively dating that has seen my home” Catra said shrugging

“I appreciate it, and it means a lot already” Adora said blushing as she sipped her coffee

“You are cute. Now soft or hard?” Catra asked mischievously

“Pardon?” Adora asked choking on her coffee

“Your bacon. Softer or crispier?” Catra said changing her words

“Softer, and scrambled eggs if you are going to ask” Adora added

“How about an omelet? I have a ton of veggies that need to be used up” Catra countered

“Oh that sounds good, I can never get mine to stay together so it becomes scrambled eggs with added items usually” Adora said laughing

“You are a idiot in the kindest way” Catra said hoping not to insult

“Oh I am, I am very book smart. Not so normal everyday stuff smart. Normally I hate people calling me that though, but it coming out of your mouth is different. I like it” Adora said sipping more of her coffee before pulling her hoodie off

“Well you are an adorable idiot, my adorable idiot?” Catra asked

“I am your idiot. Are you going on a trip?” Adora asked as she moved from the island and looked at the calendar on the fridge

“What? Oh crap yes, I forgot to tell you” Catra said now worried

“You do not need to tell me your are going on a trip” Adora said sweetly

“You are my girlfriend though, you should be told if I am going on a trip” Catra said truthfully

“Okay fine. Why are you off to Calgary? And for two weeks” Adora said now coming to lean against the counter watched Catra

“I have a...Uh...I mean...I shit” Catra mumbled as she looked at Adora in the tight tank top that hugged every curve and showed her chest

“What are you? Oh, sorry. I didn’t think I would distract you that much with a tank top. I can put my hoodie back on" Adora said blushing

“What no. Shit, I am sorry I should not stare but damn you are hot” Catra chuckled

“I am glad you enjoy my breasts. I do enjoy making my scary masc girlfriend speechless though” Adora chuckled

“Hush you. Now back to my trip, I am off to Calgary for a guest spot in a friends shop. I will be doing that for a week then I am off to Banff and Lake Louise for a week” Catra explained

“Oh that will be a lovely trip, I hope it is enjoyable. Maybe I will see you there” Adora said smirking

“What do you mean?” Catra asked as she served the food

“I am off to Calgary that same week, I have a guest speaker spot at both universities there. And then a conference for two days. Then I am also heading to Banff for a week for a nice vacation” Adora said shaking her head at the chances

“You are pulling my leg” Catra stated her heart pounding in her chest

“Nope, I leave a week Sunday at two in the afternoon. And you?” Adora asked

“Same time. Westjet?” Catra asked

“Yes ma’am. So we are travelling together. What hotel are you staying in?” Adora asked

“Some one downtown. They are paying so it is a normal hotel, you?” Catra asked as they began eating

“Palliser. What about in Banff?” Adora asked

“Banff springs, I wanted the haunted experience. You?” Catra said laughing

“Would you believe me when I tell you that I am staying at the same hotel? And let me guess you are there for a week and returning home on the Sunday? Westjet again middle of the day?” Adora asked raising her eyebrow

“You hit the nail on the head. If we are staying int he same hotel, would you... Never mind it is stupid” Catra stated shaking her head

“What is going on you that brain of yours?” Adora asked

“Would you want to cancel one of our rooms and just stay together and split it? I know it is stupid as we would only be dating for a few weeks then” Catra said shaking her head

“I like that idea a lot. You know we will be together the whole time whether we as staying in the same room together or not. We can make sure to get one with two queen beds in case we need to sleep separately but it will save a ton of money” Adora said before moaning loudly as she took a bite of the omelet

“Deal, this is odd how the world works” Catra said watching Adora closely

“Can I make an offer to you then as well?” Adora asked nervously

“What is that?” Catra said intrigued

“Have your friend cancel your hotel. My hotel room has two beds and will be super nice for you. It is paid for by the the university so you will owe nothing, and the hotel is super nice” Adora asked pushing the last bit of food around her plate

“I uh okay sure, are you sure?” Catra asked surprised

“Wouldn't have asked if I wasn’t. Are you renting a car?” Adora asked

“I am for Banff but not for Calgary. You?” Catra countered

“Both. So cancel your car for Banff and we will just use mine. And if we stay together I can drop you off at the shop before I head to my meetings” Adora offered

“That is to much” Catra said shaking her head

“Come on handsome, meet me half way. I pay for the rental you pay for gas?” Adora countered

“Fine that I can agree to” Catra said shaking her head

“Are you going on tours in Lake Louise?” Adora asked as Catra took their plates

“I am, I will get you added on to them. Well if you want” Catra added in worried

“I would like that. Catra?” Adora said worried

“What is it?” Catra asked worried

“Are we doing this wrong? Or to fast?” Adora asked worried

“I think if one of us disagreed to it and still continued doing it then yes. But no if we both agree to it. Everyone’s relationship is different and this is how ours is going” Catra said shrugging

“You always have the right thing to say don’t you?” Adora said smiling

“I do, I am glad I chased after you a week ago” Catra said laughing

“I am glad I took the job at the bar” Adora said as Catra began brewing herself another coffee

“Me to, how did you get that job? I didn't know they needed a new bartender there” Catra said taking her coffee and brewing her another cup

“I know the owners. George and Lance are my best friends husbands dads, they know I like to bartend for fun so they offered me a job. Every Saturday night, from nine to two” Adora said accepting the coffee

“That is amazing. Well I need to get them something as a thank you” Catra smirked

“They like good wine” Adora explained

“Perfect, now we have an half an hour before I have to get ready to go tattoo. What should we do?” Catra asked smirking

“I do not know what do you think we should do?” Adora asked playfully

Catra smirked before pinning Adora against the island, taking a chance she reached around and under Adora’s ass before lifting her up. The scream of shock from Adora made it even better, she had planned on just lifting her onto the counter but now she wanted to walk around with her. Stepping away from the counter she felt Adora quickly wrap her thick muscular legs around her waist as Adora’s hands came to rest around her shoulders.

“I am way to heavy” Adora said shaking her head

“Not at all, I have no issue as you can see” Catra countered as she walked towards the couch

Adora was shocked that Catra had managed to pick her up, she was not light at all but her weight was all muscle. She clung to Catra as she came to the couch before plopping down with her legs on each side of her lap. Catra’s hands were on her sides as she slowly began to move her hands along the shaved sides of her hair. She felt one of her hands come to her back as she pushed her gently closer to her before she leaned up and captured her lips in a painfully hard kiss and Adora loved it.

Chapter 10

“So” Scorpia said watching her

“So what?” Catra said blushing

“How was your morning?” Scorpia asked smirking

“Fine, good, amazing” Catra said as she set up her area

“You are head over heels for her already” Scorpia said knowingly

“I am not” Catra said shaking her head

“Catarina Horde, I have known you since we were children. I have never seen you so happy with anyone, every person I have ever seen you date or hook up with never made you this happy” Scorpia stated firmly

“Fine. I like her a lot, she is on my mind constantly” Catra stated truthfully

Catra watched Scorpia’s large smile as the bell above the door chimed as her first client of the day walked into the shop. She smiled as the women sat down, she had been tattooing her for years so this was a continuation of the leg piece she had been getting. Catra prided herself on her ability to do pretty much any tattoo but her passion and what she was known for was cartoon and anime tattoos. The bright vibrant colors always making her happy, she would take other tattoos but this was her passion. So here was her client finishing the last piece for her Disney tattoo that they had been working on for three years. Beckoning her in she pulled her gloves on and began the work that she so loved.

*****

Adora looked at herself in the mirror, she was debating whether she should hide the marks on her neck for work or leave them out in the open so others know that she was taken. The ringing of her phone brought her out of her thought, looking she found Glimmer’s face plastered across her screen. Shaking her head at her best friends timing she hit accept before putting it on speaker.

“Hey Glim” Adora said chuckling

“Hey back, now is there something you need to tell me?” Glimmer asked straight to the point

“Why do you ask?” Adora said playing dumb

“You have not returned my ten texts or three phone calls since yesterday. I thought you died!” Glimmer said seriously

“I am alive as you can tell. I was just busy” Adora said her voice giving away her joy

“Did you two start dating? Oh my did you fuck her and that is why you didn’t answer me?” Glimmer squealed

“Glimmer no! We are dating yes but we have not had sex, just lots of kissing and gentle touches” Adora said truthfully

“Well then. Bow! Adora got a girlfriend! How was dinner with her then?” Glimmer asked

“It was good, and then I had breakfast with her today as my coffee maker died. So I have seen her a lot” Adora said happily

“You really like her” Glimmer said calmly

“I do, I think she may like me just as much. We are in Calgary at the same time as well” Adora explained

Adora knew this was the conversation that was needed, she kept a close eye on the time as she chatted away telling Glimmer all about the upcoming trip. The hour passed quickly before she realized Swifty had an grooming appointment in less then an hour. A quick goodbye as she pocketed her phone and called Swifty, it was as though he knew what was going to happen. He ran, making Adora run after him for ten minutes before she managed to corner him. His butt wiggles and smiling made the whole chase worth it.

“I know you hate it. But you need a bath and those grinch feet trimmed and that butt is just way to fluffy. You are going to get poop stuck to your fur soon” Adora said as they walked from her place

Adora laughed as Swifty grumbled, she knew people thought she was crazy but she knew he understood what she was saying and would respond to her. Opening the car door she watched him jump in before sitting in his seat as she attached his seatbelt to his harness. The ride was simple, not so quick but there were no idiots or construction to deal with. Stepping inside the large pet store she led them to the grooming area, five minutes later she watched as Swifty was led into the back as he watched her walk away. Shaking her head at how sad he looked she began a quick shop, there was always something new and as she walked around she found the pride items. Overhearing a store employee saying that this had just come out the day before she was happy with her timing. Grabbing a few new dog toys before looking at the cat toys, knowing you can never had too many toys she grabbed a handful of cat toys that were filled with cat nip before making her way to find Swifty’s food.

*****

Catra stretched as she looked at the work she had just finished, she was proud of what she did; she was always proud of her work but something about finishing a piece so big made her proud. Her and her client had been chatting away the whole session, Catra always checked in to see how her children were doing and how the husband was doing as he travelled for work. Every session she would get to look at pictures to see the growth of the kids, it was one of her favorite times. She knew she would be asked about any new partners and this time she was proud to be able to admit that she had a new girlfriend. It was as though Adora could feel her ears burning as Catra finished the payment for her client as Adora walked in leaving Swifty tied up outside.

“Hey princess, bring Swifty in it is okay. I am almost done” Catra said softly

“You sure I am allowed?” Adora asked

“I co-own the shop, you can bring him in” Catra chuckled

“That your girlfriend?” Michelle her client asked

“It is” Catra said her cheeks burning

“She is pretty, good for you. I will see you in a few months for touch ups. Then I want to start a back piece, you in?” Michelle asked

“You know it. Have a good one!” Catra said kindly as Michelle patted her hand before stepping past Adora and Swifty and out the door

“Missed me that much you had to come back?” Catra teased coming around the corner to place a kiss on her lips before petting Swifty

“Oh so much, I thought I was dying not seeing you” Adora teased back

“You are such a lovable idiot” Catra chuckled softly

“You love it” Adora said clasping her hand over her mouth

“I know what you meant princess. So what brought you out here?” Catra asked raising an eyebrow at the bag

“Well Swifty had a grooming appointment so I was at the pet store and they had pride toys and I saw some cat toys and well I thought Melog would like some new toys. I hope you like them and he likes them if he doesn't then I can return them” Adora said rambling

“I think he will love them, and I like them. You can pop upstairs and give him them if you want? You can take Swifty if you want” Catra offered

“Really?” Adora asked surprised

“Really, go on up code is 0228. I will be down here getting ready for my next appointment” Catra said pulling at Adora’s sweater to pull her down into a kiss

“Oh” Adora said blushing at the rougher handling

“You okay?” Catra asked worried

“Yes, I liked that” Adora said so softly that Catra on just caught it

“Oh good to know” Catra said a smirk now on her face

Adora blushed even more as Catra pulled her down once more roughly as she placed a kiss on her lips. She did not expect to like this kind of roughness but something with Catra made her feel as safe as she ever had. Catra pulled back smiling up at her much taller girlfriend before letting her pass with Switfy. Catra took a chance before gently smacking Adora’s butt as she passed the small gasp and then giggle told her it was the correct thing to do. Adora walked through the shop as Swifty smelled the air, she could tell he was intrigued by all the new smells. Reaching out she keyed in the code before making her way upstairs. The door to her home was unlocked as she stepped inside, Swifty immediately began sniffing around. Taking a chance she let him off his leash allowing him to look around, soon Melog came sauntering into the room. Looking at Swifty he made his way over until they were face to face as Melog ran his head along Swifty’s before coming over to her. Her heart was pounding in her chest as she watched the interaction, and it seemed as though they liked each other. Pulling the toys from the bag she pulled the tags from them before tossing them onto the floor as Melog began to play with them.

Adora spent another ten minutes in Catra’s place as Swifty and Melog started playing together before finally making her way back downstairs. Catra sat at her set up checking her inks before looking up and smiling a smile she could never get over.

“He like them?” Catra asked standing to meet her

“He did, and him and Swifty get along great!” Adora said smiling

“Perfect, I am glad they like each other” Catra said pushing a strand of hair back into place

“Just like their mothers” Adora said in a playful manner

“Very much like their mothers. I hate to do this but I have a client coming in any minute, so I need to finish getting ready” Catra said truthfully

“That is fine, I need to get home and get ready for my shift tonight. I will see you tomorrow though” Adora said smiling

“Don’t kiss any more women” Catra joked

“Nope, only one women I want to kiss” Adora countered

“Good to know” Catra said as the front door chimed

“See you tomorrow” Adora said taking a chance and grabbing Catra’s shirt and pulling her closer for a kiss

“Oh feisty today” Catra said as she reached up and threaded her fingers through Adora’s ponytail and pulled her down into a hard kiss once more

Chapter 11

Adora tied her hair back in her normal ponytail, she looked at the skin tight jeans and tank top before throwing a plaid long sleeve shirt overtop. Making sure the sleeves were rolled down and the top buttons were undone enough that just enough cleavage was seen she grabbed her phone and walked out the door. The drive was quick and easy, she was early but that was not something uncommon for her. Her mind was with Catra and she wished deep down that she would stop by but she could not ask that of her.

“Adora!” Glimmer yelled before tackling Adora

“What are you doing here?” Adora questioned hugging her

“Well my father in-laws own the business” Glimmer teased

“You know what I mean” Adora said rolling her eyes

“The normal tech person for the drag show is sick so they asked Bow if he could do it, so I came as well” Glimmer explained

“You came to ask me more questions about Catra” Adora said knowing her best friend

“You wound me! But yes I want to know more” Glimmer smirked

“Fine, you want info then I want help setting up my bar” Adora countered

“Fine, but I am not lifting buckets of ice” Glimmer countered

“Deal” Adora said chuckling as they walked to the bar she was stationed at for the night

*****

“All done?” Perfuma asked as she walked into the back of the shop

“We are....What are you up to?” Catra asked as she took the bag out of her garbage can

“I want to celebrate!” Perfuma said smiling

“Celebrate what?” Catra questioned raising her eyebrow

“I settled a big contract yesterday. The biggest wedding planner in the city will only be using my flowers!” Perfuma said smiling widely

“Amazing! That is great, now we going to go have a nice dinner or something?” Catra asked looking at her best friend now

“Nope, I want to go dancing and see the drag show” Perfuma said smirking

“Of course you do” Catra said shaking her head

“Perfect, I am ready and so is Scorpia so go change and we will head over” Perfuma stated shoving her towards the door

“You just want to see Adora” Catra countered

“Maybe that to” Perfuma said pushing her into the open door

Catra shook her head as she climbed the stairs, she couldn’t deny that her mind was completely on Adora and she had been considering stopping by and bringing her coffee before the night got busier but she didn’t want to seem as though she was being needy. Adora made her feel as though she was a love struck puppy not the strong confident masc that she was. Changing into a tight sports bra and a plaid button up she made her way back downstairs and out the doors with the other two.

*****

Adora watched group after group walk in, it was a busy night due to the massive drag show that was being held that night. Double checking her bar she made sure that everything was in the correct place and that she had the right amount, she had done a few drinks so far that night but being that she was upstairs it meant that the bar downstairs was busier until after the show. She heard a small group come up behind her, turning she found Catra watching her a smile on her face.

“Missed me that much?” Adora said leaning on the bar showing off her cleavage

“I will not tell, how is your night so far princess?” Catra said trying not to stare at her chest

“Better now that I get to see you” Adora smirked moving her arms just enough to cause her breasts to move a little

“I well yes” Catra stumbled

“How do you do this? Wildcat never stutters and never gets nervous. But around you she is like a teenager” Scorpia asked smacking Catra on the back

“Is that so? Maybe I have a talent” Adora said watching the blush creep up Catra’s cheeks

“Oh you do” Catra said her heart racing

“Now the show is going to start in a few, what can I get you for drinks?” Adora asked gently

“Any beer” Scorpia stated

“Water” Perfuma

“Vodka coke please” Catra said watching Adora move around the bar area

“There you go, go enjoy the show” Adora said handing over the drinks

“Can I kiss you?” Catra asked hopefully

“I thought we were past asking?” Adora asked leaning on the counter again

“Yes but you are working” Catra said shrugging

“Come here handsome” Adora said grabbing Catra’s shirt and pulling her in for a quick kiss

Catra felt his heart jump just like it did every time she said that to him, her soft lips against hers was something she wanted every day. The stupid smile from Adora as she pulled back before winking and going back to whatever she was doing. Catra looked at her for a moment longer before following Scorpia and Perfuma down the stairs and towards the stage as they looked for seats.

“She is hot” Glimmer said slipping into the bar beside Adora

“I know, and so sweet” Adora said smiling as she blushed

“She looks at you as though you are the only one she sees” Glimmer stated

“That scares me” Adora said watching another group walk in

“Why?” Glimmer asked surprised

“Because she is a masc lesbian who has never been with someone with a penis. Part of me worries that the moment things get to that point she will be disguste4d and pull away. I have already fallen farther then I should have let myself” Adora said shaking her head as she sighed

“I think she will love everything you have Dor, I know that because of how she looks at you. Now I am going to watch the show, have fun” Glimmer winked before running from the bar

Adora shook her head, she loved her best friend but she drove her insane. It was as though she knew everything but nothing all in the same breath. She trickling of people slowed as the music began downstairs, Adora knew this was the perfect time to grab more ice before the fun really began.

*****

Catra watched the show, it was a big one with a few visiting queens performing. An hour passed before it slowly began to end, getting out of her seat before anyone else she slipped through the crowds and towards the main floor. She wanted to see Adora once more before she was bombarded with people and orders. Coming upstairs she found that there was already someone at the bar, making her way up slowly she began to hear the conversation.

“Come on” The man stated

“No” Adora countered sternly

“What is a pretty lady like you doing in a bar like this?” The man questioned

“Working. Now are you getting a drink or are you just going to pester me?” Adora said getting more annoyed

“No I want your number, I can make you not a dyke” The man stated

“You can leave” Adora said beginning to turn

“Fuck you you little dyke” The man stated grabbing her wrist and beginning to pull her over the bar

Catra was at the man before he could pull her over the bar, Catra was smaller then the man but she managed to get Adora’s wrist from his grip and have him against the nearby pillar in just a few moments. She may be shorted then the man but her strength was not of someone her size, her forearm was against his throat as her blood pumped in her ears.

“She said no” Catra snarled

“Get off me” The man gasped

“You are lucky I am not beating your face in for touching her” Catra snapped

“Catra” Adora said her voice shaking

Catra felt someone grab her from behind, two men she has only ever seen in passing. One pulling her back and another grabbing the man she had pinned. The man fought but the man now holding him was stronger and bigger, she knew not to fight but she did not like being constricted like she was being.

“Both of you are leaving now” Lance stated

“She didn’t do anything wrong” Adora spoke up now having her back rubbed by a shorter women

“She was fighting with someone, you know there is a no violence policy” Lance spoke watching

“She was protecting me. He grabbed me because I wouldn’t give him my number” Adora said watching Catra closely

“Why was she protecting you? Who is she?” Lance asked as George began pulling the man away

“My girlfriend, this is Catra. She is the one I told you about” Adora said blushing slightly

“Sorry” Lance said letting go of her

“It is okay, I understand the no fighting. You okay princess?” Catra asked stepping towards Adora

“I am okay, he just needs to go” Adora said about the man

“He is gone” George stated pulling him from the area and towards the door

“Go home, you look as though you are going to pass out” Lance said gently

“I can’t do that to you. You can’t be down a bartender on a Saturday” Adora countered

“I can do it. Go home Dor, and Catra?” Glimmer said looking at her

“What's up sparkles?” Catra countered watching the girl covered in glitter

“My name is Glimmer” Glimmer countered

“So sparkles is perfect” Catra smirked watching the smirk on Adora’s face

“Fine, but thank you for keeping Dor safe” Glimmer stated

“More then happy to. Now come on Princess, I am taking you home” Catra stated

“What about Scorpia and Perfuma?” Adora countered

“I will text them. You drive right?” Catra asked

“I did” Adora stated

“Perfect, give me your keys you aren’t driving” Catra said holding out her hand

She had expected Adora to argue but instead she pulled out her car keys before handing them over as they began to walk through the bar. A quick text to Scorpia and they were walking outside into the spring weather, she kept a close eye on Adora as she led them to her car. Slipping into the small red civic she watched as Adora was shaking slightly, starting the car she reached over and placed her hand on her knee before squeezing it gently.

“Hey it is okay, I know that was scary but you are safe” Catra said softly

“I know just haven’t had something like that happen since, well since my incident” Adora said as they pulled out of the small parking lot

“You have every right to be scared and have anxiety. I am glad I was there, I will not allow you to ever be hurt” Catra said as Adora slipped her hand into hers

Adora felt her heart pounding in her chest, she knew she said she was okay but she was not. She had not had something like that in a long time, the drive home was quick and easy as Catra and her sat in silence but the constant pressure of her hand in hers calmed her. Pulling into her back parking spot Adora looked at Catra not know how to ask what she needed.

“Do you want me to come in for a little?” Catra asked gently

“Would you mind?” Adora asked glad Catra asked first

“Not at all” Catra said as they stepped from the car

Catra felt Adora’s hand come into hers as they made their way towards the house, slipping inside Swifty barked a few times before making his way to his way to large bed. She watched as Adora made her way into the kitchen, two glasses of water in hand as she made her way back to the couch. Catra watched as Adora pulled off her long sleeve shirt before placing her head on her shoulder. Catra hated that she had to deal with what happened. Wrapping her arm around her shoulder she shifted herself in a way that allowed her to fall back her head landing on a pillow with Adora draped on top of her. She felt the clutching of Adora’s hands at her shirt as it slowly began to get damp as the tears of fear and anxiety began. Catra had her chin on Adora’s head, reaching up she slipped the band from her hair allowing it to come free as she ran her hands along her back and arms. She felt the sobs as they rocked through her body, Catra held her close whispering soft words as she placed soft kisses to the top of her head. Adora’s body slowly began to relax, Catra remembered the slow breathing of Adora as Swifty came and laid down beside them on the floor as she pulled the blanket from the back of the couch until it covered them both. Then her world slowly faded to black as sleep took over.

Chapter 12

Catra was warm and content, her body was pinned but the pressure on her was calming and grounding. Her mind slowly began to come to as she felt the body that was pressed into her, strong and solid. Dropping her hand down she felt the warm fur of Swifty under her fingertips, but as soon as it was there it was gone as she could hear him walking around the house. The small groan from Adora as she rubbed her back told her she was waking up, she remembered laying down with Adora on top of her and then covering themselves with a blanket but then nothing else. Her mind was beginning to become more and more awake as she heard Swifty’s steps before the feeling of a metal bowl smacking her right in the face woke her fully.

“That hurt Swifty” Catra groaned holding her face

“What happened?” Adora mumbled

“He smacked me with his bowl right in the face” Catra said now chuckling

“Oh yeah he does that if it is past his feeding time. Wait why are you still here? Not that I am complaining but you never left?” Adora asked confused

“I pulled you down on me last night to help calm you and last thing I remember is grabbing the blanket” Catra said now looking at the bright blue eyes of her girlfriend

“Oh shit. I am sorry, oh god I must be squishing you” Adora said trying to push herself up

“I am actually very comfy, are you?” Catra asked holding her in place

“I am well for the most part” Adora said blushing

“What isn’t comfortable?” Catra asked gently

“Well my body decided it was a great time to make me feel like a teenager if you understand what I mean” Adora said blushing more

“Oh. Do you want to move?” Catra asked gently

“Yes? No? I don’t know” Adora said embarrassed

“Why are you embarrassed?” Catra asked

“Because my clit is hard and is resting against your leg. And I don’t know how you feel about that” Adora said trying to shift her groin away from her leg

“I don’t mind. It is a natural thing. Can I ask you something?” Catra asked running her hands along her back

“Sure” Adora said laying her head back on her chest

“I did some reading and learning. HRT usually decreases your clit size and most of the time makes it hard to get hard. But you have a large clit and are very hard against my leg. Did that not happen?” Catra asked gently

“I did loose size if you can believe it, and until I met you I very rarely got hard. Now I am hard more then I could imagine. I just worry that you still will not like it” Adora said worried

“I haven’t ran away yet princess. I want you comfortable, and truthfully I am very comfortable. I enjoy knowing that I am able to make you like this. Does it bother you?” Catra asked softly

“No not anymore. It did when I first began transitioning, then I realized I don’t want to get bottom surgery. I have learned to love my body but I now have to learn how to love this part of my body as I have gone a lifetime without this” Adora said chuckling as she looked back up at Catra

“Well princess I want to help you learn to love this as well. Slow and steady” Catra said smiling as she leaned in to kiss her nose

“Your eyes are beautiful” Adora said softly

“I am surprised it took you this long to say anything about my eyes. It is usually the first thing anyone says about me” Catra said surprised

“That is why I didn’t say anything until now, I didn’t want to be the norm” Adora said watching the heterochromatic eyes widen

“You are far from the norm. It was something I used to be self conscious of as a child, as lots of kids made fun of them because they were different” Catra said watching Adora reach up and brush hair from her forehead

“Well I think the blue and gold eyes are amazing and make you you” Adora said smiling as she leaned down to kiss her nose

“Thanks princess. Oww Swifty” Catra grumbled as he smacked her in the face once more with his dish

“Swiftwind that is rude” Adora said scolding him

“I think he is very hungry” Catra said rubbing her nose again

“I think so. We should probably get up and get ourselves ready for swimming. What time is it?” Adora asked pushing herself up and giving Catra a great view of her breasts

“I well uh...” Catra said completely entranced

“What is...oh. My breasts really cause your brain to short circuit don’t they?” Adora asked not moving as she raised an eyebrow at Catra

“They are just perfect” Catra said gulping

“Thanks I grew them myself” Adora said smiling widely

“Oh my god” Catra said laughing loudly as that broke the embarrassment

“I am your idiot remember?” Adora said finally pushing herself up and into a sitting position as she covered her crotch

“You don’t have to hide, it is a normal human reaction. And to know I made that happen makes it better” Catra said truthfully as she sat up as Adora blushed a little before removing her hands

“What time are we meeting for swimming?” Adora asked watching Catra’s reaction

“Noon. It is only nine, so maybe I go home and shower and get ready and then we can go get brunch? Might as well take one vehicle because we are going to your parents after” Catra said her heart pounding at the beautiful bulge in the front of Adora’s jeans

“Sure, would you want a ride home?” Adora asked now blushing again at the blush that was creeping up Catra’s neck

“Nah a little walk will be nice. I will pick you up in a hour?” Catra said as she finally stood

“I can drive, we are going to my parents place” Adora argued

“Nah, I will drive us princess. I will see you in a hour” Catra said bending down to kiss her gently

“Oh and Adora?” Catra said as he stepped towards the hallway

“Yes?” Adora countered confused

“Go deal with yourself, you know you want to” Catra said winking as she walked into the hallway and out the door

Adore could not believe Catra had said that, the twitch of her clit told her that her body enjoyed the comment. Shaking her head she stood grabbing the bowl from Swifty’s mouth before making her way into the kitchen and placing it back where it belonged. A cup of food and brand new cold water she was making her way upstairs, she was falling for Catra more then she had thought possible. She hoped that she was falling for her the same way, and from the comments it seemed like that. Turning the shower on she allowed it to warm up before beginning to strip her clothes from the night before. She was looked at herself in the mirror as she pulled her top and then her bra off, she was lucky that HRT had given her the breasts they did. She knew some trans women who got no breasts at all and had to pay for implants while she was lucky enough to be given as Glimmer put it a nice large handful. The muscles of her stomach were toned but not obscene, pulling her jeans off she felt her clit being pulled down before it popped back up stretching the thong she was wearing. She pulled those down next, looking down she blushed at the fact that she was harder then she had been in years. The head peaking out from her foreskin red and swollen, dripping with arousal. She was nervous she had lost size or so she thought but she still came in hard at eight inches and thick.

Slipping into the shower she allowed the hot water to wash over her body before grabbing a hold of her clit and teasing it a little. A shiver went down her spine as she did so, moving slowly she reach underneath with her other hand and gently squeezed her balls. The moan echoed through the bathroom as she moved her hand only five times before she felt herself cumming. She had expected a small clear dribble to come out but instead she watched as she painted the shower wall with the clear liquid, more then she had in a very long time. Catra was going to be the death of her and she was all for it.

Catra loved the spring weather, the warming weather made this walk amazing and quick. Stepping into the vacant shop and into her own home she was greeted by a screaming Melog who was demanding food. Apologizing quickly she made her way to his dish before adding in some wet food and towards the shower. She wondered if Adora had done anything to fix her arousal, she hoped she did and a part of her wished she was there to watch. She had constantly been in her mind, her feelings for Adora were growing each day and the fact she has a part she had never used before was not bothering her like it had before. Finishing her shower she debated with herself what was a good outfit to meet Adora’s parents with, deciding on jeans and a short sleeve button up shirt. Grabbing her swimming items she packed her bag before scratching behind Melog’s ear she checked the time and was once more stepping out of her place and towards her truck.

Chapter 13

“You just needed the largest truck didn’t you?” Adora chuckled as she slipped into the vehicle

“Hey now, it makes up for my lack of penis” Catra smirked

“You said before that you have a ton in your bedside drawer to make up for it” Adora said smirking

“That I do. Do you trust me for a breakfast place?” Catra asked as she pulled away from the curb

“Of course I do. Catra?” Adora asked softly

“Yes princess?” Catra answered reaching over to take her hand

“Would you, well do you want to use those with me?” Adora asked nervously

“Only if that is what you want. I will never force you to use it. We have the real thing so we don’t have to use a fake one” Catra said squeezing her hand

“But what if you don’t like what I have?” Adora said her voice wavering

“I will like what you have, trust me Adora” Catra said gently as they parked

“I do. I just worry, but maybe if you are okay with it I want to try using the strap” Adora said blushing

“I can do that. But that will come in time. Now come on in” Catra said slipping from the car and running to her side to open it for her

Adora couldn’t hide her smile as Catra opened the door and helped her form the car, she hated to say but she could get used to it. Making their way inside, they were soon seated and food was ordered not long after. She could listen to Catra talk about tattooing all day long, she had question after question about her apprenticeship and everything that it entailed.

“Okay enough about me. I want to know what your specialty is” Catra countered

“My specialty?” Adora asked confused

“All doctors have a specialty. I do not think what you wrote as your thesis is your specialty” Catra chuckled

“You read my thesis?” Adora asked surprised

“I did yes. The persecution of the LGBTQ community up to and during the second world war: The toll it took on German society. It was amazing, I started reading it the night we met again as I wanted to learn more about you as Dr. Grayskull. So what is your specialty?” Catra asked again poking at her food

“I can’t believe you read my thesis. My parents didn’t even read my thesis” Adora said her fork shaking

“I thought it was amazing, all four hundred pages of it” Catra said truthfully

“Wow, you really know how to make a women happy” Adora said blushing

“Well I hope I can make you happier. Now what is your specialty?” Catra asked again

“Technically anything to do with Canada in the first and second world war” Adora countered

“Makes sense, but do you have a preferred topic?” Catra asked sitting back as she sipped her coffee

“Depends if we are speaking about the first or second world war. If it is the first then it is the first five hundred as well as Vimy Ridge. If I am speaking about the second world war then it would be the battle of the Atlantic, the landing of Juno beach as well as the Canadian company’s that liberated camps” Adora said excitedly

“What is the first five hundred? I have heard of everything else, well kind of. I didn’t realize Canadian soldiers helped liberate camps” Catra stated leaning back as she sipped her coffee

“Well Canadian Soldiers liberated Westerbork transit camp, then they also helped liberate Bergen-Belsen as well. The camps are a sad and scary topic but there is so much information on who they partnered with and what other companies partnered with them, it is a topic that I learn about on my own time because I want to know more” Adora explained

“I could imagine, I would like to learn more. I would like to learn more about where my Grandmother was housed. I think I have her journals, would you like to read them at some point?” Catra offered

“I would love that, but are you sure? That is incredibly person to allow me to read them” Adora said softly

“I think you are the best person to share them with” Catra said reaching out to grab her hand

“Deal, and in return I will teach you anything you wish to know about the wars” Adora said squeezing her hand

“Good, now first thing I want to know if what is a first five hundred?” Catra asked as the bill was placed in front of them

“The first five hundred are a group of people. They were also known as the blue puttee’s as they wore blue cloth wraps on their legs as that is all they had instead of the normal green. But they were the first five hundred men to sign up from Newfoundland during the first world war. Newfoundland was not apart of Canada until 1949, so this was a big step. I am sorry I am going overboard” Adora said biting her lip

“There is no such thing. I can listen to you speak all day long and never grow bored” Catra said truthfully

“Oh, well okay. Maybe I can talk a little more on our way to the pool?” Adora offered as she pulled her wallet out

“I would love that, and put that away. I am paying” Catra stated waving her hand

“No, you paid for sushi last time we ate out” Adora stated

“Too bad. I got my hand on it first” Catra said winking

“I am paying for swimming then” Adora countered

“That I will agree to. Now come on princess” Catra said pulling her up and out of her seat as she tossed cash down on the table

Adora didn't know why but the feeling of Catra’s hand in hers as she was being led from the restaurant made her heart pound. Catra soon had her door open and helping her into the truck, quickly coming to her side she hopped in and they were off. Soon Adora was once more speaking about the Newfoundland regiment, Catra could not get enough of her talking. Her voice was perfect and her knowledge of the topics made her want to curl up on the couch and just watch her as she spoke so confidently and excitedly. The drive took half an hour before they pulled into the parking lot, where Adora was now speaking about Beaumont-Hamel, she had been speaking about the Somme just moments before and once more it led into another battle and Catra knew in that moment she would not let Adora go.

“I am so sorry, I didn’t let you get a word in” Adora said blushing realizing she had spoke without allowing Catra to speak

“I will say this only once, I could listen to you for hours. Your passion for this topic is amazing and you are amazing” Catra said coming to a stop in a open spot

“You will get bored of it” Adora said softly

“Nope, I think this topic is amazing. And I want to learn more and more” Catra said reassuring Adora

“Okay, tell me though if I am getting to crazy” Adora said as they slipped from the truck bags in hand

“Deal. Shit people are already out with their bikes” Catra said watching a motorcycle pass by

“You like motorcycles?” Adora asked as she watched it pass

“I do, you?” Catra countered as they walked

“I think they are cool, but never been on one” Adora said shrugging

“You would enjoy it” Catra said chuckling

“You are going to tell me next that you have a motorcycle” Adora said jokingly

“I do, she will be coming out in a few weeks time as long as the weather stays nice. Once it is nice enough does my princess want to come for a ride?” Catra asked as they stood in line

“I uh, yes maybe? It makes me nervous though” Adora said softly as she began to fidget

“I will keep you safe, I promise” Catra said wrapping her arm around her waist

“Auntie Catra, Dr. Grayskull!” Mira said excitedly

“You can call me Adora” Adora said smiling

“Okay. I am so excited!” Mira said looking back at her mothers

“Nice to see you again, you okay after last night?” Scorpia asked

“I am, thanks to Catra” Adora said as the line moved

“Good, hi I am Perfuma” Perfuma said reaching her hand out to shake

“Nice to meet you” Adora said watching them as she looked at Catra who was smiling ear to ear

Adora listened to the chatting of the adults, the line moved fairly quickly as they came to a stop as Adora paid. She could feel the nervousness begin, she hadn’t swam in years and now that she stood here she was beginning to get worried. As if she knew what was happening, Catra’s hand was in hers as she gently squeezed.

“I will take a little longer to get ready...I have to make sure everything is well you know” Adora said softly

“That is fine princess, do you want me to wait for you in the change room or in the pool?” Catra asked as they slipped into the change room

“The pool is fine” Adora said her heart pounding but beginning to calm

“Okay see you in a few minutes” Catra said bringing her hand up to her lips as she placed a gentle kiss on her knuckles

Catra watched the blush that crept up Adora’s face as she kissed her knuckles, she allowed Adora to let go of her hand first. She watched as she walked away, she found a spot as she began to change. She swam more now that Mira was around then she ever did as a child, she knew she got weird looks just like Scorpia did as she stripped her clothes off. She was covered in tattoo’s, she knew it was easier to tell people where she didn’t have tattoos then where she did. She hoped that Adora would like the tattoo’s when she finally saw them for the first time. Her face, feet, palms, breasts and inside of her thighs were the only places where she had free space for new tattoos.

“Auntie?” Mira asked as she finished slipping on her swim shorts and sports bra

“Yes?” Catra countered

“Will Adora be around more?” Mira asked as Scorpia and Perfuma came up behind her

“Yes she will, come on. We are going to meet her in the pool” Catra said looking around to make sure she wasn’t in out yet

Catra loved the pool that they were at, stepping into the water she could hear the murmuring of those around her. She could care less, she looked around as Scorpia turned her so she was looking at the exit of the change room. She understood why, there was Adora. She had a red and white bikini top, her breasts were full and moved ever so slightly as she breathed. Catra scanned her body, her body was toned and muscled but not crazy. Her stomach was flat and kissable, while her thighs were thick and muscled and covered by skin tight black swimming bottoms. Catra couldn’t help but look and see if she could any outline but none was to be found, looking back up she found Adora blushing as she did the same to her.

Chapter 14

“Close your moth wildcat, you look like a fish” Scorpia said patting her on the back as Adora walked towards them

“Auntie is a catfish!” Mira said giggling

“Who is a catfish?” Adora asked as got to them

“Auntie. She had her mouth open looking at you because you are very pretty, but momma said she looked like a fish like that” Mira explained still giggling

“But where is the cat part from?” Adora asked trying not to laugh

“Momma calls her wildcat. So she is a catfish” Mira said as the beeping echoed inside the pool

“Why don’t we get closer to the waves?” Perfuma asked pulling Mira with her

“We will leave you two be for a few minutes” Scorpia said before leaving them alone

“So are you a catfish?” Adora asked watching Catra scan her body

“I guess I am, it is hard not to be in awe of you” Catra said watching as Adora crossed her arms pushing her breasts up

“I am the one in awe of you, I know you said you had lots of tattoos but holy crap. You are fucking hot” Adora said trying not stare to much

“I like when you swear. So you still okay with dating a heavily tattooed person?” Catra asked as the smaller waves hit her

“Very much, I want to learn each and every tattoo that you have. In time I want to see the ones that are not on show either” Adora said biting her lip

“I like that idea, slow and steady right princess?” Catra said finally regaining her confidence and reaching out and grabbing her hand and pulling her against her

“Oh hello” Adora said her whole chest growing red

“You are beautiful” Catra said wrapping her arms around her waist

“And you are handsome” Adora countered as Catra began pulling her into the deeper water

“You can swim yes?” Catra asked thinking about that after

“I should ask you that, I am at least six inches taller then you, I will still have my head above water when you are submerged” Adora chuckled

“Already trying to kill me? You won’t even get my life insurance” Catra countered breaking into laughter

“I did not think of that, I will make sure to make you fall in love with me then become your beneficiary and then drown you. Or find out if you are really a catfish” Adora smirked

Catra looked at the smiling face in front of her, the easy back and forth that they had eased her worry. Reaching up to grip the base of her neck she pulled her down for a kiss, she wanted more but she knew in a public place like this that was not acceptable. The next hour passed as they swam and went on the water slide over and over again with Mira who decided that was what everyone had to do with her.

“Mira I think we should let them have a few minutes, you have taken them both on the slide at least five times each already” Scorpia said shaking her head

“Okay, but before we leave we can have one more time on the slide?” Mira asked hopefully

“Deal. I am wanting to head over to the hot tub, do you want to come?” Catra asked hopefully

“I would enjoy that yes” Adora said nodding as Catra slipped her hand into hers

“I am having a lot of fun, thank you for coming today” Catra said smiling

“Thank you for having me, and thank you for being willing to come to my parents place after this” Adora said squeezing her hand

“I am nervous trust me, I am not the type that most parents want their daughter to be dating” Catra explained as they stepped into the hot tub

“Why do you say that?” Adora asked confused

“I am a heavily tattooed and pierced, I have family issues and have never been in a long term relationship because every relationship ends because of something I do. I also only have my high school diploma, I have no secondary education like you” Catra said softly as Adora pulled her legs into her lap causing an intake of breath

“Catra, you are heavily tattooed and pierced yes. But that changes nothing about you, each tattoo on your body tells a story and the fact that your first tattoo was your grandmothers prisoner number shows what needs to be known about your commitment to family. So what if you have family issues, no one is perfect” Adora said running her hands along Catra’s legs

“And furthermore, a relationship is not one sided. If it went wrong it means both people are to blame not just you. I am an adult and if something bothers me, we will talk about it. Just like if something bothers you, we will talk about it. And finally I don’t care if you have a secondary education, not everyone goes to university or trade school. Some jobs don’t need a secondary education, but Catra you have education. You did an apprenticeship that lasted three years before you could start your own career” Adora said watching her closely as she squeezed her leg gently

“But you are a doctor Adora, you have years and years of schooling. You are brilliant, and I am nothing in the scheme of things. Your parents will look at me, and compare me to you. To them I will not be worthy of you” Catra said shaking her head

“Listen to me, do not compare yourself to me. No one should compare themselves to another, we are all individuals Catra. You are just as accomplished as I am, I am accomplished for my brain and you are accomplished for your art. I would give anything to have a sliver of your artistic ability. My partner is my choice, my parents will like you Catra. I chose you Catra, because of this” Adora said placing her hand on her chest above her heart

“For my boobs?” Catra countered a small smirk passing her face

“And you call me an idiot” Adora said shaking her head

“I know what you meant, I get in my head. I always have, I just worry that they won’t like me” Catra said reaching up to take her hand and squeezing it

“They will. I appreciate you telling me what was bothering you” Adora said smiling as she felt Adora’s heart pound

“You are easy to talk to, as long as we keep our communication open we will be okay” Catra said allowing herself to enjoy the feeling on her legs on Adora’s

“Especially when we will be rooming together for two weeks. Are you still okay with that?” Adora asked as their hands came to rest on their laps once more

“I am, are you?” Catra countered

“I am, I am nervous though. I have never stayed with someone in this capacity before, I have stayed with Glimmer of course but never someone I am romantically involved with” Adora said chuckling

“Well remember there is two beds as you said. We will sleep separately, so not to push you to much” Catra explained

“I would rather be in bed with you, I slept so well last night” Adora said blushing

“Then we will see where it goes princess. I think it will help that the first week we will be separate for most of the time, allowing us our own time. I do want to ask something though” Catra asked nervously

“What is that?” Adora asked intrigued

“The shop isn’t open on the Monday so I have the whole day, could I if allowed by wherever you are lecturing at. Well could I come and watch the lecture?” Catra asked hopefully

“I would like that, I have to talk to the UofC and see what they say. But as long as they say yes then yes I would love that” Adora said smiling widely

“I love listening to you lecture already, just hearing you that day at the museum was amazing and beautiful” Catra said blushing

“Will you do something for me then? You can say no if you wish” Adora said now worried

“What is it princess?” Catra asked intrigued

“On the Saturday evening there is a large dinner followed by dancing and conversations, this is for the attendees of the conference. This conference is a convergence of historians all over the world. We are allowed to bring a guest, I just have to let them know by tomorrow. Would you like to be my plus one?” Adora asked worried

“I would love it, but once again are you sure you want me around all those doctors and historians?” Catra asked smirking

“Yes, let them talk and do what they will. But I would really like you there with me” Adora said chewing on her lip

“Then tell me what I need to wear princess, I will be your date” Catra said letting go of her hand and reaching to run it along her bare shoulders

“Formal attire, but you don’t have to wear a tie if you don’t want. I kind of prefer you with a few buttons undone. Maybe another event you can wear a tie” Adora said leaning into the touch

“Another time eh?” Catra said smiling as she looked at the women she was falling head over heels for

“I hope this is the first of many” Adora said as footsteps came behind them

“First of many” Catra said leaning into kiss her

“Auntie Catra, Adora. Mom and momma say it is almost time to leave, can we go on the slide again?” Mira asked watching the two of them

“Come on kiddo” Catra said watching Adora

“Come on catfish” Adora said chuckling as she pushed Catra’s legs off her lap

“Is that my new nickname?” Catra said shaking her head

“Yes it is, now come on. Your niece is waiting” Adora said pulling her into a standing position and towards the slide

Chapter 15

Adora could not help but stare at Catra as she walked in front of her as Mira pulled her towards the changeroom, the tattoos that covered her body were bright and vibrant against her tanned skin. Running her eyes along her back she came to her ass, she didn’t know why but all she wanted to do was place her hands against the hard muscle and squeeze. A blush came across her cheeks as she continued down looking at her legs, well muscled and tattooed just like the rest of her body. She was caught in her staring as Catra turned and looked at her smiling knowingly, the flowers on the one side moved as she turned her head.

“Like what you see?” Catra laughed

“You know I do. Wait a second is that the sword of protection?” Adora said as Catra moved her arm

“What? Oh yeah it is” Catra said raising her arm showing the sword tattooed on her whole ribcage

“Oh” Adora said as she scanned her ribcage and how the tip of the sword disappeared into her swim shorts

“Dr. Grayskull you are speechless, very uncommon. Come on Princess, we need to get changed” Catra said chuckling enjoying that she was stunned

“Yes, yes agreed” Adora said blushing feeling her body beginning to betray her

Catra watched the look on Adora’s face, she could tell she was enjoying the sight but the moment her hands began to move and begin to open and close she understood this was causing discomfort. A simple smile and nod towards the change rooms and they were walking once more. Catra watched as Adora grabbed her things before slipping into a private change stall, grabbing her own things she began the act of changing before finishing before Adora had even reappeared.

“You ready to meet her parents?” Scorpia asked coming to sit on the bench beside her

“I am, nervous but I am” Catra said softly

“You will do fine, everyone loves you wildcat” Scorpia said watching her wife fuss over Mira

“I know, but I still feel like I am not good enough for her” Catra said shrugging

“You are good enough for her, have you seen the way she looks at you? She sees you and only you, do you remember how Scorpia was when we first started dating?” Perfuma asked

“Yes” Catra said nodding

“That is how she looks at you. Just put on your normal charm and her parents will learn to love you” Perfuma stated

“I like her. You are keeping her right?” Mira asked

“I hope to keep her” Catra said blushing

“Agreed, I hope to keep her as well” Adora said stepping into the conversation

“Hey beautiful” Catra said looking at Adora once more dressed in jeans and a blouse with a hoodie over top

“Ready to head out?” Adora asked holding her bag in front of her crotch

“I am. You all good?” Catra asked watching her

“I am. It was wonderful seeing you both, and getting to meet you. I hope to be seeing more of you” Adora said kindly

“Oh wildcat will not be letting you go. Have a good time at your parents” Scorpia said chuckling as they walked from the room

Catra fell into step with Adora, quickly taking her had and squeezing it gently as they walked from the swimming pool. Catra reached the door, quickly opening for Adora who blushed and slipped inside. Catra grabbed the bag from her lap before tossing it into the back seat with her own. Slipping into the drivers side she leaned on her center console as she turned Adora’s head towards her. Placing a hard kiss on her lips she felt Adora melt into the touch as she felt her hand reach out and cup the back of her head pulling her in closer. Pulling back Adora was once again flushed but the smile on her face made Catra’s heart leap into her throat.

“Are you good?” Catra asked softly resting her forehead against Adora’s

“I am. A little hot and bothered but I am good” Adora said chuckling lightly

“Do I make you hot and bothered?” Catra asked playfully

“You know you do. You look at me and my body responds. I feel like a teenager again and I don’t know how to deal with it. I cant just take me clit out everywhere and every time I need to masturbate” Adora said shaking her head as her cheeks grew redder

“I have never felt this way. I touched myself in my shower this morning already, and I could do it again. I haven’t been like this since before HRT. I thought this was long gone and and I had come to terms with that, but now you tipped my world upside down” Adora said as Catra pulled back and grabbed her hands as she spoke

“Is it a bad feeling?” Catra asked carefully

“No, it is just different. I never thought I would get to experience this with someone” Adora said raising their clasped hands to her lips and placed a kiss on Catra’s knuckles

“Well we will learn princess. Please tell me you un tucked and un taped when changing” Catra asked worried

“I did, way to uncomfortable to keep it like that for that long” Adora said truthfully

“Good girl” Catra said without realizing as she watched Adora’s eyes grow wide

“I am so sorry” Catra said without allowing her to speak

“I...I liked it” Adora said quietly

“Oh, oh. Well good to know” Catra said leaning in to steal one more kiss before sitting back in her seat

“You like giving praise?” Adora finally asked as they came to the first stop light

“I do yes. Is that alright?” Catra asked as she reached over to rest her hand on Adora’s knee

“I think so yes. I liked it when you said it earlier. Is there other things you like?” Adora asked nervously

“There are many things I like princess. I just do not wish to scare you or turn you away from telling you” Catra said as the GPS spoke telling her to turn

“I don’t know what I like, well other then what I have done with my own hands” Adora said worried

“That is okay though. You need time to learn what you like, I know what I like and need. Now it is your turn to learn” Catra said running her hand along Adora’s thigh without thinking

“I oh...What do you like?” Adora said sucking in breath as Catra’s hand went high on her thigh

“I like teasing, I like to make my partner become putty in my hands. I like to make sure she cums at least once before I do. I like having nails digging into my scalp and shoulders well anywhere, I like biting whether it is being bit or biting. I can do oral for hours, and as you know I love boobs. I will ravish yours until you are begging me to touch you other places. I will watch your clit drip as I tease you. There is more but I think that is a good start” Catra said lowly watching Adora’s face in her rearview mirror

“I should not have asked, fuck” Adora moaned as she pushed down on her clit

“Did I make you horny?” Catra asked playfully

“I was already horny from looking at you. I have been horny all day, first I wake up against your sexy body then swimming with you half naked and now talking about your likes during sex” Adora said throwing her head back against the headrest in frustration

“Will it go away on it own?” Catra asked gently

“It will, I hope. I really don’t want to go and use my parents bathroom to get rid of it” Adora said chuckling

“You could just use my truck” Catra stated as her hand continued to run up and down her leg before accidently brushing Adora’s bulge

“Catra” Adora managed to get out

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to go that high” Catra said worried now

“I am not going to masturbate in your truck, not right now anyways. As much as I love your hand on my thigh I need you to stay mid thigh or lower. Because I will cum in my pants if you brush against me again, and I really don’t want that today” Adora explained gently

“Today eh? Another time then” Catra said moving her hand to mid thigh

“If you play your cards right yes. You make me feel free and able to be myself. I hope that you will enjoy this when it gets to that point” Adora said pointing at her crotch

“It is attached to you so I will. I won’t lie, I have had some very fun dreams about you and your clit. But that is a story for another time” Catra chuckled as Adora slipped her hand into hers

“I will hold you to that. I am going to have to wear some very loose skirts and dresses when we are in Calgary and Banff” Adora said shaking her head as she still leaned her head back

“Hopefully only for when you are out, I do quite like you in jeans and whatever you wish to wear. I should probably invest in some pajamas” Catra said chuckling as they turned into a cul-de-sac

“Agreed. I usually don’t sleep in anything” Adora chuckled her clit slowly deflating

“That is a lovely thought” Catra smirked

“Mind not in the gutter right now catfish. We are just about at my parents place” Adora said as she opened her eyes

“Wow this is a nice place” Catra said looking at the large home

“Yeah, it is a little over kill I always thought. Five bedrooms and five baths, with a fully finished basement and a large back yard. My parents like to host a lot and they had the money to own a house like this so they did” Adora stated as they pulled into the drive way

“It it odd to me. I grew up my first little bit in a run down crack house, with mold on the walls and all that fun stuff. Then my grandmother’s home was lovely, but it was very much a post war house. Two bedrooms with a out dated bathroom. The basement was finished but small, the yard was nice but it wasn't anything special. It didn’t have a garage only a carport. So this to me is a mansion, but I will not lie. I prefer the size of my place, even yours is a good size. I haven’t even seen the second floor of your place or the basement” Catra said as they sat in the driveway

“My place isn’t crazy, three bedrooms upstairs with a master bath and another full bathroom. I use one room as a guest room and the other is my office. If you think the amount of books I have downstairs is crazy you should see my office, I also have all my militaria in there” Adora said as she saw her parents front door open

“Militaria?” Catra asked confused

“I shall show you tonight, if you are good” Adora said winking as she waved to her mother

“Deal. I hope they will like me” Catra said turning the truck off and taking a deep breath

“They will, because I like you. A lot” Adora said reaching over to pull her into a quick gentle kiss

Chapter 16

Catra took a deep breath as she stepped from the truck before running to the passenger side and opening the door allowing Adora to walk out. She could feel her mother’s eyes on her, judging her already. She knew the tattoos on her neck and hands were showing and she was even more nervous for when she took her sweater off but this was something she knew would happen. She felt Adora’s hand slip into her as she was pulled up the pathway and to the front door.

“Adora sweetie” Marlena said pulling her into a hug

“Hi mom. Mom this is Catra” Adora said pulling back

“Very nice to meet you Catra” Marlena said scanning her

“Very nice to meet you as well ma’am” Catra said knowing the look she was getting as they stepped into the living room

“Randor, Adora is here” Marlena called out

“Hey champ” Randor said coming into the living room

“Hey dad” Adora said as she was pulled into another hug

“Dad this is Catra” Adora said pulling Catra towards her father

“Hello Catra” Randor said his tone unwavering

“Hello sir, it is a pleasure to meet you both. And thank you for having me today” Catra said her stomach flipping

“Yes well, Adora said she had a girlfriend. So we believed we should meet her” Randor stated coldly

“Adora, where would the bathroom be?” Catra asked knowing she needed to step away for a moment

“Down that hall and first door on the left” Adora said softly understanding as she watched Catra walk away

“Really Adora?” Randor stated as Catra left the room

“Really what?” Adora countered back

“We raised you better then this” Randor stated

“Better then what? Dating someone who is covered in tattoos?” Adora asked

“Yes. Head to toe in tattoos, how does she get a job with those? Probably drinks all day and does nothing, is she using you?” Randor questioned

“I have a job, a very good job that I love. I am a tattoo artist sir, and co-own my own shop. I have been in this trade since I was eighteen” Catra said standing in the doorway

“But what does your family think?” Marlena asked

“My mother is not in the picture, I was raised by my grandmother and grandfather. They passed away years ago though, but my grandmother came with me to get my first tattoo” Catra stated ready to leave if needed

“Do you not regret the tattoo you got at eighteen?” Marlena asked

“No. That tattoo means more to me then any of my other tattoo’s combined” Catra said softly as Adora came up beside her

“What kind of tattoo would mean so much?” Randor asked his eyebrow raised

“This” Catra said pulling her sleeve up as she felt Adora's hand come to her back slowly running it up and down

“That is....” Randor said understanding

“What is it?” Marlena asked confused

“A number that became your name, your identity. A number that was tattooed into the skin of those who had no choice, a number that was etched into the skin of those who were persecuted for who they were. A people who were judged because of who they were. This is my grandmother’s number, her testament to what she went through. That is why I will never forget, and that is why this tattoo means so much to me. She wrote it out in her own writing, so I carry her pain and her memory with me every single day. I face prejudice every day because of what I look like, but I hold my head up high because no matter what you say or do. Nothing will ever compare to what my grandmother dealt with” Catra said calmly as Adora’s hand ran along her back

“If you are going to judge her then judge once you know her, not by her looks. Because if you do, I will leave the house right now with her” Adora said her hand ever moving along her back

“Catra would you be willing to come and speak with me one on one?” Randor asked

“Yes, outside?” Catra countered her heart pounding in her chest

“Catra?’ Adora asked softly watching her

“I am okay, I promise” Catra said reaching up to kiss her on the cheek before following closely behind Randor

“She isn’t using you?” Marlena asked as soon as they were out of earshot

“Not at all, she is wonderful mom. She has a heart of gold and I can’t imagine life without her, it has been only a week and I am head over heels for her” Adora said softly

“It is just hard to look past those tattoos and piercings” Marlena said softly

“Try for me please? Because she is going no where” Adora stated as she began to help set the table

“I will try. Your father is the one that needs to be won over” Marlena said smiling gently

“I think she will get under his hard shell” Adora stated smiling

*****

“Do you want one?” Randor asked holding out a cigar

“Sure, thank you” Catra said accepting the cigar as they took a seat outside

Catra watched Randor as he lit the cigar before handing over the pack of matches, soon she was puffing away on the cigar. She had smoked as a teenager and into her young adult years but she had quit four years before, now only allowing herself a cigar every once and a while. The only sounds that were heard were the chirping of the birds as they nested in the large trees that littered the backyard.

“Adora trusts easily, and she has been hurt because of it. I believe she has told you what happened when she did not tell someone her secret?” Randor finally asked

“She has yes” Catra said nodding as she inhaled and blew out a large cloud of smoke

“She told you that she has a metal plate in her face?” Randor asked

“She did yes” Catra agreed

“She probably didn’t tell you that she also had swelling around her brain because of the hits, and that she had a severe concussion and couldn’t leave a dark room for two months. Nor did she probably tell you that that horrid women stomped on her side as Adora laid on the ground, breaking four ribs and causing a punctured lung?” Randor said his voice filled with anger

“No, she never told me that” Catra said her voice wavering with anger and sadness

“She likes to sugar coat things sometimes. What are your plans with my daughter?” Randor asked

“I like her a lot, I have known her two weeks and all I want is to be around her. She is always on my mind, I will not hurt her” Catra said watching Randor

“She would not bring you home to us if she was not sure about you. Do not hurt her please, she has been through enough” Randor said softly

“I promise not to hurt her. But you need to get over how I look if you want that” Catra countered

“The moment you showed me that tattoo my thoughts on you changed” Randor said gently

“I understand that all you want to do it protect Adora, and that is what I want to do as well. I will keep her safe, I promise” Catra said as she brought the cigar to her mouth and inhaled

“She has never brought anyone home to us. You are special” Randor said smiling at her for the first time

“She is special” Adora said stepping outside

“Hey princess” Catra said looking up as Adora now stood above her

“You smoke?” Adora asked confused

“Just cigars sometimes. Is that okay?” Catra now asked worried

“That does not bother me at all, I kind of like it” Adora said blushing as she leaned down to kiss the top of Catra’s head

“This right here, shows me that you keep your promise” Randor said smiling

“What promise?” Adora asked confused

“That I will keep you safe” Catra said looking up at her

“I will hold you to it. Mother said dinner is ready though” Adora said her heart swelling at the commitment

Catra smiled as she took one last inhale of the cigar before tapping it on the ash tray, standing she looked up at Adora who watched her as though she was the only one in the world. Adora looked at her father who was smiling a smile she very rarely saw, allowing him to walk first they soon were walking into the house. She could feel Catra’s stress lessening as she walked in, she felt her let go of her hand as she pulled off her sweater before taking her hand once more and a squeeze of her hand and they were sitting with piles of food around them.

“Adora did not inform me that you were Jewish. I hope I didn’t cook something you cannot have” Marlena said worried

“I do not observe, you are all right. I can eat anything you make for me, and I have no food restrictions. Adora worried the first time she cooked for me, because she did not ask either” Catra said chuckling

“So tell me Catra, every tattoo artist has their specialty. What is yours?” Marlena asked

“Cartoons and anime. So brightly colored tattoos, and truthfully even if it is neither of those things and it is nerdy I am happy as well” Catra said as she felt Adora press her knee into her thigh

“How long did you train?” Randor asked intrigued

“Three years in an apprenticeship, then I opened my own shop with my best friend. I was lucky to be able to do so but it was truly because of my grandparents” Catra said as she sipped the beer in front of her

“Your grandparents loved you dearly it seemed” Marlena said gently

“They did, and I loved them dearly” Catra said softly her heart clenching

“I forgot to tell you, Catra will be in Calgary with me” Adora said knowing she needed to change the subject

“Was this planned before meeting Adora or because of Adora?” Randor inquired

“Planned, I have a guest spot at a friends shop there for a week. So we are turning it into a small vacation for us both, as we both seemed to have decided to head to Banff after the week of work” Catra said chuckling

“Be smart” Marlena said watching Adora

“Mom!” Adora said her face growing red

“It is a honest remark. You are both adults but you know what I mean. No babies” Marlena said as Catra choked on her beer

“You okay?” Adora asked patting her back

“I am yes” Catra said her cheeks growing red

Catra could feel the blush covering her face, soon the conversation changed and turned into stories about Adora as a child. She could feel the embarrassment that encompassed Adora but this was perfect, the night had started stressful but this was how she wished this would go but had not expected it. Dinner passed as dessert also came and went, the night passed as they moved into the living room. Adora curling into her side as her parents watched on, their smiles told her how important this was for them to see. The goodbyes were done late into the evening, as Adora finally got out of her mothers grasp. Catra could feel them watching her still as she opened her truck door allowing Adora to slip in before shutting it and waving once more before slipping into the drivers side.

“That was better then I expected” Catra said as Adora watched her

“I know, it was a rocky start but we got there” Adora said gently

“We did until she started talking about children” Catra laughed as they pulled out of the drive way

“Do you want kids?” Adora countered

“I do, but never gave it much more thought then that. I never expected to be in a relationship where we were comfortable enough to have children” Catra explained

“If we get to that point, do you want children?” Adora asked nervously

“I would yes. I don’t know if I would want to adopt or what. I know we could possibly if we tried hard enough have them naturally, but I don’t know how I would feel being pregnant” Carta explained

“We could try, I am supposedly sterile but you never know. They also say that I shouldn’t get hard like I do, I was also supposed to loose more size then I did. So you never know. But in time we can and will make the decision” Adora said placing her hand on Catra’s thigh

“Princess?” Catra asked softly

“Mmm yes Catfish?” Adora countered a small smirk

“How big are you?” Catra asked as she chewed on her lip

“Eight long and thick” Adora said blushing

“Oh wow” Catra said her breath hitching

“You okay? Does that scare you?” Adora asked worried

“Not at all, I thought it would. But this excites me, I may be the one riding you but I am still the top” Catra smirked looking at the blush that crept up Adora’s neck as they stopped at a light

“Oh I like that. I will bottom for you as long as you want” Adora said smirking

“For ever then” Catra said lowly so only she heard it as the light turned green

Chapter 17

“I did not expect to see you yet, your yearly appointment isn’t for another two months” Dr. Morgan stated as sat down

“I know, but I need to get a prescription” Catra said fiddling with a hangnail

“I have been your doctor for close to ten years, you are never t his nervous” Dr. Morgan asked raising an eyebrow

“I need birth control” Catra blurted out

“Okay, may I ask why you now want it. You are a lesbian are you not?” Dr. Morgan asked scratching away on a note pad

“I am dating an amazing women, but she is a pre-op trans women. We know there is a very very very low chance of it happening but I want to be careful” Catra explained

“I am happy for you, so here is the prescription. Seven days for it to start working okay?” Dr. Morgan stated

“Okay, thank you” Catra said holding the prescription tight

Dr. Morgan nodded and smiled before slipping from the room, Catra followed closely behind her as she made her way from the medical office. Popping into the pharmacy down the street she paced the shelves as she waited, she was lucky that they had a cancelation for her to be able to get in. She didn’t like the idea of condoms but she didn’t know what Adora thought of them as well. Soon she was walking out once more with a small package as she made her way to her truck and towards the shop.

*****

“Didn’t expect you to be up already” Scorpia stated as she walked into the shop

“Why? I don’t sleep that late on days off” Catra countered shaking her head

“True, but I didn’t even realize you had gone out” Scorpia stated as she set her station up

“I had an appointment for birth control” Catra said blushing

“Oh really now? Going to raw dog it?” Scorpia stated teasing

“Shut up!” Catra said laughing loudly

“So that is a yes. You really like her” Scorpia said less playfully

“I do, I really do. Is it bad to say I think she is the one already?” Catra asked nervously

“Nah, you know. Just like Perfuma and myself. The moment I saw her I knew she was the one” Scorpia said shrugging

“I am glad you don't think I am crazy” Catra said playfully

“Well, not crazy about this no. Crazy in every other word yes” Scorpia teased

“You wound me” Catra said pretending to be hurt

“Oh you are fine. Now am I still driving you to the airport? How is Adora getting there?” Scorpia asked

“I actually don’t know, I will ask her and get back to you on that” Catra said surprised she forgot to ask

“Deal, now make sure you have everything for Melog ready. I am still looking after him right?” Scorpia asked

“Please of you don’t mind, he will just need food and water morning and evening. And litter done once a day” Catra said listing off the things

“I have done this before wildcat. We are all good, stop your worrying” Scorpia said shaking her head

“I know, shit is that the time? I wanted to surprise Adora for lunch. I have to go” Catra said turning and running from the shop

*****

Adora sat at her desk, papers strewn around her as she signed and dated form after form. She had wanted a new exhibit for the month of June, the first of its kind in any museum in Canada. A full exhibit of the stories of those gay and lesbian men and women who fought in all the wars Canada had been involved in since the first world war. Adora had lobbied for it during the meeting of the board of directors and as the head curator and historian she had the final say. There were some older members who were not the fondest of the idea but she had been working on this since she started at the museum and she now had the ability to do it. One last scratch of her pen and it was signed, the exhibit would begin being built as of tomorrow. Putting that paper aside she opened her emails, a urgent email sat in her inbox. Her heart pounded in her chest as she opened it knowing what it was.

Marissa McDonell
Assistant director of operations

Adora looked at the screen she had not expected to be accepted, most people wait years to be able to get into this tour. It was a trip of a lifetime and she now had to ask Catra is she wanted to go or not. The buzz of the phone on her desk brought her from her thoughts.

“Yes?” Adora answered

“Dr. Grayskull, there is that same lady here that keeps showing up” The receptionist said

“She will be coming a lot, she is always allowed to come in. Next time you can just send her to my office” Adora explained

“May I ask who she is so I can update our system for security?” The receptionist asked

“My girlfriend. So she is allowed to come to my office at all times” Adora explained

“I will update her in the system, I can request a badge for her to access the back rooms so she does not need the visitor pass” The receptionist offered

“You can do that?” Adora asked surprised

“Yes, one person can get a permanent guest pass. I will put in the request for it. I am sending her back” The receptionist offered

“Thank you” Adora countered as she hung up the phone

Adora had not expected Catra to come by, it was only Monday and they had parted late the night before after a long and heavy make out session in Catra’s truck. She had to finally pull away because if she didn’t they would have continued doing things later into the evening. Five minutes passed before a small knock on the door brought her back into the here and now.

“Come in” Adora called out

“Hey princess” Catra said walking in with a bag of food

“Hey back catfish, you know you do not need to knock” Adora said gently

“I know but I don’t want to walk in on you when you are on the phone or something” Catra said setting the food down on the coffee table

“I appreciate it, and you brought lunch. Any reason?” Adora asked as she stood and walked towards her

“Nope, just wanted to see my girlfriend. I don’t like not seeing you, I know that is weird with how short of a time we have been together but yeah” Catra said shrugging as she wrapped her arms around Adora’s waist

“I like it, you are always on my mind as well. Now what did you get” Adora said leaning down to kiss her gently

“Chinese, I was craving it. And you said something a couple days ago about craving Chinese. Hopefully I got stuff you like” Catra said beginning to pull out the containers

“That smells delicious, thank you” Adora said taking the container

“Of course. How is your day? Did you get approved for that new exhibit?” Catra asked

“I did, I signed it off. It begins being created tomorrow, just in time for pride” Adora said beginning to eat her food

“You look like you need to ask me something. Is everything okay?” Catra asked

“I put in an application mid last week to go on a massive month long trip to Europe to tour the battlefields and concentration camps and all that. They emailed me already, I was approved. So I will be going to Europe for a month” Adora said her heart racing

“That is amazing! Is it paid for? Or do you have to?” Catra asked her heart breaking just a little

“They pay for everything but food and souvenirs” Adora said waiting for her chance

“That is amazing, you will enjoy it. I will admit I will miss you” Catra said poking at her food

“That is the part I need to talk to you about. I know we barely know each other and at that point of filling out the application I knew you even less. But I had the ability to put a research assistant down, same idea. The trip is paid for and everything” Adora said nervously

“Okay? What does that have to do with me?” Catra asked confused

“I put you down. I am sorry, you do not need to if you don’t want to but yeah. I hoped this would work, and I want you to come. But I know a month is a long time to not be working....”Adora began rambling

“Yes, I want to come. I will clear my schedule. Just tell me the dates and I will book it off. Now I have one question for this trip” Catra asked

“What is that?” Adora asked her heart now leaping in her chest

“Are we going to Auschwitz?” Catra asked her voice trembled just a little

“We are, but if you do not want to go that day because of your grandmother’s history there” Adora said stopping what she was doing

“No, I want to go there. I want to see it for myself. So yes I will come with you” Catra said smiling

“Amazing, once we eat I need to fill out the form and need your signature. We really are doing this relationship differently” Adora said chuckling

“We are. But I wouldn’t have it any other way” Catra said watching Adora before beginning to eat again

Chapter 18

“Princess?” Catra asked as Adora moved around her kitchen

“Yes?” Adora countered as she stirred the pot

“How are you getting to the airport?” Catra asked just thinking of it

“Well I planned on taking an Uber. How are you getting there?” Adora asked as she began serving the soup

“Scorpia is taking me. Do you just want to come with me? It would make the most sense, as we are going to be sitting beside each other and all that” Catra said accepting the soup

“And all that. You mean staying in the same hotel for two weeks together and all that” Adora said cheekily

“We should do our seats together tomorrow, so we are sitting beside each other” Catra stated as Adora sat

“I agree, and yes catfish I will come with you and Scorpia” Adora said as she began pulling apart the bun and dipping it into the soup

“Who is watching Swifty?” Catra asked as he perked up at the sound of his name

“Glimmer and Bow are taking him on Sunday. What about Melog?” Adora asked as Catra moaned at her first bite of soup

“Scorpia will just pop in there twice a day to take care of him. And Mira will play with him on the weekends” Catra explained

“Oh that will be good for him. Would you, well no it is stupid” Adora said shaking her head

“Come on princess, nothing is stupid when it comes form your mouth” Catra said taking her hand in hers

“Would you want to just stay the night together tomorrow? I don’t work, and I can get Glimmer to take Swifty early. And we can spend tomorrow together so we can get the tickets done and any last minute shopping. If not it is okay” Adora said worried

“I would love it. And if sparkles can take Swifty early, would you want to stay at my place? As that is where Scorpia is picking me up from?” Catra countered

“I would love it” Adora said the blush rising in her cheeks

“Perfect! I hate to ask again but did you speak with the universities?” Catra asked nervously

“I did, they both stated yes you are allowed to come and listen to me speak on Monday at the UofC and Tuesday at MRU” Adora explained

“You are amazing” Catra chuckled as she continued to eat

“Only sometimes, I think you just want to see me in my glasses more” Adora countered as she watched her

“I think you are fucking hot in your glasses. I take it you do not” Catra countered wondering if her feeling was correct

“Not really. I have worn them for ten years, so sometimes yeah” Adora said softly

“They bring back memories of the violence from that night, and the sever harm that came to you” Catra said reaching out to take her hand again

“How did you?” Adora asked taking aback

“Your father. Why did you sugarcoat it?” Catra asked watching her closely

“Because it isn’t something that needs to be talked about” Adora stated

“But you will say that you had a metal plate put in your cheek but not that they gave you a severe concussion. Or broken ribs, or anything of that sort. Adora, you went through trauma but you should not sugarcoat what happened to you. Because what happened to you was wrong, it was not your fault and I will remind you of that every day. None of that was your fault” Catra said her voice firm but soothing

“I still feel as though it was my fault, that is why I do not speak of it. Because it makes me feel worse about myself. The glasses are because my eyesight began to become fuzzy after the hits, so every time I put them on there is a brief hatred” Adora explained

“That is valid, you are valid. But let me help you, let me show you that no more harm will ever come to you” Catra said softly her hand squeezing Adora’s

“Okay” Adora said not realizing she was crying

“Hey now princess. None of that” Catra said reaching over to wipe the tears away

“I don’t understand how you have this way with me. You are a calming force that I never want to let go of” Adora said leaning into the hand now cupping her cheek

“Then don’t” Catra countered

“I would like that but only time will tell. Now do you want more soup?” Adora asked

“Uh yes, I do not know how you managed to make this in an hour” Catra stated grabbing their bowls

“Hey I was going to do it” Adora said as Catra stood

“What kind of hot masc girlfriend am I if I don’t get us seconds” Catra said chuckling

“You are a pain in my ass” Adora said laughing playfully as Catra came back to sit

*****

Adora did not know how she managed to end up straddling Catra’s lap as they sat on the couch but one touch led to another and now she had her hands around her neck as she ran her short nails along Catra’s scalp. Catra’s one hand was holding onto her hip as her other one was running along her lower back every once and a while brushing a small amount of skin. Each time the touch happened she would flinch but not in a way that told Catra she hated it but instead in one she knew made her want more.

“Can I?” Catra asked pulling back from the kiss

“Can you what?” Adora asked confused

“Can I touch you under the shirt?” Catra asked hopefully

“Oh, yes. Please” Adora said nodding

“You tell me to stop, we stop okay princess?” Catra stated

“I know” Adora said nodding once more

Catra was never this nervous, she slept with tons of women but the moment she slipped her hands under Adora’s shirt and touched her back for the first time she felt like it was her first time. The gasp that Adora let out as she touched her skin for the first time made her heart pound in her chest, slowly she began to move her hands along her back and to her sides. She watched her carefully as she now cupped her thin but strong waist as she ran her thumbs in circles as Adora threw her head back.

“Is this okay?” Catra asked

“More then” Adora said taking a chance

Adore took a deep breath as she moved her hands startling Catra who stilled her hands as she grabbed the hem of her shirt and pulled it up and over her head. The face that Catra made as she was now presented with Adora’s chest, wrapped in a red bra with fine lace work. Looking back up she found Adora chewing on her bottom lip as she looked down at her nervously.

“You are beautiful” Catra said softly still holding her hips

“Thank you, I grew them myself” Adora said breaking the nervousness

“And you did very well. Can I? May I?” Catra asked hopefully

“Do you really want to?” Adora asked surprised

“I do, I love breasts. And yours are even more amazing because they are attached to you” Catra said smiling widely

“Then yes. Do you want the bra on or off?” Adora asked gently

“On for now. Are you okay? I think you are getting a little uncomfortable” Catra said watching her squirm

“A little. I am fine for now” Adora said blushing

Catra nodded, reaching behind her she pulled her closer before placing a gentle kiss in the middle of her chest. Then kissing along the top of each breast, listening to Adora’s breathing hitch and grow shallow at the feeling of her lips on the soft skin of her chest. Catra continued to kiss gently as she gently pushed the cup down little by little as she kissed her breasts over and over again. Reaching up she looked at Adora as she looked down at her, cheeks red as she panted. She knew how aroused Adora was, she could feel her clit pressing gently against her crotch and stomach. She had felt it grow as her body responded to her touch, slowly moving her hand up she pinched the bra clasp and allowed it to pop open.

“Done that a few times” Adora said breathlessly

“A few yes. Is this okay?” Catra asked

“More then” Adora said nodding once more

Catra watched her for a moment more as she began to pull the straps from her shoulders before pulling the whole bra off her body. Catra could not help but want to drool, Adora’s body was perfect. Her breasts were firm and were bigger then a handful, her nipples were hard and a rosy pink and she wanted to take them into her mouth and have her way with them. She knew she needed to take her time as she leaned back just enough to reach up and cupped one breast, holding it in her hand she watched as Adora closed her eyes and threw her head back from the feeling. A gentle squeeze and Adora was groaning, this pushed her on. Retracting her hand a little she took the nipple in between her fingers and pinched.

“Oh fuck” Adora cried out

“Sorry” Catra said trying to retract her hand

“No, please again” Adora said grinding her hips without meaning to

“Someone is very horny” Catra teased

“Well you would be to, if someone touched you like this for the first time” Adora almost snapped

“Hey, I didn’t mean it in a bad way. I was just teasing, I am sorry” Catra said softly

“No, I am sorry. I should have known you were teasing” Adora said hanging her head

“Hey now princess. Look at me, we can stop and just cuddle” Catra offered watching her

“No, please I want you to keep touching me. And maybe I can touch you?” Adora asked

Catra nodded, sitting up a little she let go of Adora to pull her shirt off before pulling the sports bra off in one go. She watched as Adora blushed as she slowly extended her hand to touch her chest before running her fingers lightly over her breast and the metal bars that adorned her nipples.

“I should have known” Adora said smirking

“They are fun to have. Now princess, you can tell me no. But would you like to readjust your clit?” Catra asked looking at the swell of her pants

“Well, yes if you are okay with it” Adora said softly

“Do what you need to do. Why don’t you go put sweats on or pajama bottoms?” Catra offered

“I like your thinking” Adora said placing a kiss on her nose before quickly stepping off her lap and upstairs

Catra waited no more then two minutes as Adora slipped back into the room with pajama bottoms on. They were on the tighter side and Catra could see every movement and outline of her clit as she walked. The blush on Adora’s face told her she was nervous about it but still trusted her enough to do this.

“No underwear?” Catra asked as she settled back in her lap

“No, to tight. I hope that is okay” Adora said no second guessing what she choose

“It is more then okay. Adora?” Catra asked as her hand came to her breast and slowly played with Adora’s nipple

“Yes?” Adora countered as she slowly ran her hands along Catra’s chest, mapping the tattoos

“Can I make you cum?” Catra asked confidently

“I uh, yes...” Adora said blushing

“I think both just through your pants if that is okay with you?” Catra asked nervously

“More then, we work our way to other stuff” Adora said nodding

Catra nodded as she slowly moved her free hand onto Adora’s clit, it was hard and warm through the fabric and it was big much bigger then she imagined even with knowing her size. Moving her palm along the shaft she felt Adora twitch as she began to get more bold, pinching her nipple gently she squeezed her clit as a moan echoed once more through the house.

“I am close already” Adora managed to get out

Catra nodded, she felt Adora’s nails biting into her skin as she fully grasped her clit in her hand as she moved her hand from her breast to her back to hold onto her. Each movement allowed her a quick glimpse of skin, she didn’t know what made her do it but Catra let go pulling the fabric down just enough that the head of her clit was poking from the top of her pants. Grasping it once more she watched as it leaked all over Adora’s stomach and now her hand, gently running her thumb along the head she watched as Adora’s eyes rolled back as Adora moved her hand to grasp the back of her head as her forehead came to rest against her own. Three more movements as her thumb gently circled the soft skin of the tip of her clit and Adora was shuddering and screaming. Catra felt the first spurt as it landed against Adora’s stomach and then another and another, coating both their bodies as she came. Her heavy breathing was now all that could be heard in the room, as Catra slowly let go and moved her other hand to Adora’s back pulling her in closer so that now their chests touched for the first time.

“To much?” Catra asked finally as Adora’s breathing leveled out

“No, perfect” Adora said as she laid her head on her shoulder once more

Chapter 19

“Hey beautiful” Catra said as she answered the phone

“Hey back handsome, I know we are meeting in two hours. But I just realized that I thought I had another bag of Swifty’s food. So I need to go to the pet store. You want to tag along? I understand if you don’t and if you want more time by yourself before we are together for two weeks....” Adora began rambling

“I think a trip to the pet store is a wonderful idea. I should grab more litter anyways for Melog. Ill pick you up in twenty” Catra said gently

“Okay, I will be waiting” Adora said

“I won’t keep my princess waiting to long” Catra countered playfully

“Oh my wonderful knight, coming to save the princess” Adora said teasing back

“I will see you in a few” Catra said her cheeks growing red

“See you soon” Adora said as she hung the phone up

“You two are disgustingly cute” Scorpia said from the open door

“Have you ever heard of knocking?” Catra said chuckling

“Nope, not when it is your place. Things are going very well then?” Scorpia asked still leaning against the door frame

“Very well. Scorp I know it is early but holy shit, I think she is the one. Mark my words I will marry her one day” Catra said smiling widely

“And I will be your best man when you do. Now go get your princess sir knight” Scorpia said smiling widely

“I won’t live that down will I?” Catra said rolling her eyes

“Nope or catfish” Scorpia said smiling before turning and walking down the stairs

*****

“You look lost” Catra said as they walked into the pet store, Swifty in tow

“No just going over my mental list. I have everything for him, but food. Maybe I will get him some more treats to, oh and a toy” Adora said looking around the store

“I think a cart is in order then” Catra said chuckling as she turned back and walked towards the carts

Adora watched Catra walk away, she was nervous but excited all in the same breath. Here she was shopping with Catra as though it was the most domestic and everyday thing they ever did. Catra soon returned with the large blue cart as they began shopping, stopping at the cat litter and food first before making their way over onto the dog side. A large bag of food was soon tossed in as Swifty followed closely. It was odd to her that a mere three weeks before she had met this women who took her on a emotional rollercoaster. To shop with her like this was so domestic and she was beginning to crave it.

“You said you wanted to get him a toy right?” Catra asked as they stopped in front of the toy aisle

“What? Oh yes” Adora said blushing

“Mind elsewhere?” Catra asked worried

“No, well yes. But it is on you so it is still gone but here at the same time” Adora said smiling gently

“You get flustered so easily. I love it” Catra chuckled as they walked into the aisle

*****

“You better keep her safe” Glimmer stated poking her in the chest

“I will, I promise. No harm will come to Adora” Catra said her hands raised

“She really likes you, like really really. And I know you like her as well, just don’t hurt her. She deserves all the happiness in the world, after everything she has gone through” Glimmer said her tone changing

“I would give her the world even this early into our relationship” Catra said as she could hear Adora rustling around upstairs

“Good. And use protection” Glimmer added in

“Glim!” Adora said surprised as she walked down the stairs

“What? There is the chance of well babies, small small chance but there is a chance. So I am telling you two to be smart” Glimmer said smiling as she shrugged her shoulders

“No babies, got it” Catra said wiggling her eyebrows at Adora

“You two are horrible, come on Swifty. Let your mother and step mother have their alone time. IF you need anything call okay? I will send you picture's of his daily activities” Glimmer said at the door now

“You better, multiple if you are doing multiple trips or activities!” Adora called out as Glimmer walked out the door Swifty in tow

“You have never been away from him, have you?” Catra asked

“Nope. This is a first, I take it you have been away from Melog many times?” Adora countered

“More then I would like to admit to, but that is because I do a fair amount of shows and guest spots” Catra said as she watched Adora check the house for the last few things before coming to the front door

“Do you do a lot of guest spots?” Adora asked softly

“Yes and now, they are never more then two weeks. And that is only if I am travelling to the USA or Europe” Catra explained

“Okay. I will miss you when you go again” Adora said truthfully

“Maybe we will make things work, I bet many universities and museums would love to hear you speak. Maybe once more we can go on a trip together to do our jobs” Catra offered as she grabbed Adora’s large bag

“I would like that, hey I can grab that” Adora tried

“Nah, you grab your purse and small carry on. I know you have that filled with books” Catra said chuckling as she walked from the townhouse

“Well some are for you to read to!” Adora called out as she ran out of the door before turning and locking it

“Brought some books for me to read?” Catra asked her hand on the passenger side door handle

“I did, a few I thought you would enjoy” Adora said as she slipped into the passenger seat

“That was really thoughtful, thank you” Catra said stepping onto the running board to place a quick kiss on Adora’s lips

*****

Adora had fallen in love with the sounds of the tattoo machines, she knew the moment she walked into Catra’s shop the pounding in her chest would cease. She could not help but watch as Catra carried her largest bag before placing it down by the door to her home, she watched as she moved around the shop speaking with each artist and client before returning to her a large smile on her face. A wave from Scorpia as she smiled back and she was heading upstairs into Catra’s home.

“Make yourself comfy” Catra said gently as they walked in

“Of course, am I taking the couch or the spare room tonight?” Adora asked without thinking

“I thought, well I assumed. Well that you would be in my room” Catra said taken aback

“I well, I didn’t want to assume” Adora said her cheeks growing red

“I am staying with you for two weeks straight, why would I not want you in my bed?” Catra countered walking towards her

“Well our room in Calgary and Banff both have two queen beds. I didn’t want to assume” Adora said nervously

“I want nothing more then to wake up beside you, with you in my arms. But if you wish to sleep in the spare room I can make it up for you” Catra said gently coming to stop in front of her

“No, I would rather be in bed with you” Adora said smiling stupidly as she reached out to drape her arms on Catra’s shoulder's

“Perfect, but princess. If you ever wish to not sleep in the same bed as me on our trip. I will not be upset, and I will understand” Catra said reassuring her as she clung onto her waist gently

“I will tell you, but I don’t think that will be a problem” Adora said smiling before bending down and kissing her

Catra pulled her closer before finally letting go, soon they were moving in tandem around her home. Catra had packed but not fully, so now she sat on her bed listening as Adora played with Melog. Looking at the toys she had in front of her, she debated leaving them but something inside her told her to bring them. Removing some of her clothes she soon had a few toys packed away as Melog came running in after the toy mouse that Adora had thrown.

“Sorry” Adora said running after him

“Nah, I am all packed. Are you getting hungry?” Catra said closing her suitcase

“I am. Are you cooking or ordering in?” Adora countered

“I was thinking nachos, I don’t have a ton of food but I have everything for nachos. That okay?” Catra asked now worried because she did not confirm before hand

“Sounds perfect” Adora said allowing Catra to walk past her and towards the kitchen

*****

Adora sat at the island, she watched as Catra moved around the kitchen in a way she didn’t know was possible. The movements of the hidden muscle as she chopped lettuce or grabbed a bowl that was a little to high so her toned back showed as her shirt rode up. She could feel the blush creep up her neck at the thought of kissing and touching each and every spot on her body.

“Jalapenos? Yes or no?” Catra asked breaking her thoughts

“No thank you” Adora said shaking her head as the small box caught her eye

“Catra?” Adora asked as she held the birth control in her hands

“Yes? Shit I can’t forget that” Catra asked looking towards her and seeing the box

“May I ask why you are on birth control?” Adora asked confused

“So no babies come about. I know it is a small chance but better to be safe then sorry” Catra said watching her closely

“But we could have worn condoms, so you don’t have to take pills because of me” Adora said softly watching Catra

“I would rather not wear condoms, I am clean. And I know you are. Unless you want to wear them then, but I would rather it be natural” Catra said watching the worry fade

“So you, did this so I did not have to wear condoms?” Adora asked again

“Yes I did. I want you to feel what it is like to be so truly connected to someone. But once again, if you want to wear them then I would never stop you” Catra said now standing in front of her open legs

“I would rather not wear them, but I just never expected you to do that for me” Adora said as Catra took her hands

“I would do practically anything for you Princess” Catra said gently as she placed a kiss onto her forehead

Chapter 20

Adora was nervous, she had slept with Catra before but that was when they had fallen asleep by accident. She stood under the hot water as she tried to calm her nervousness, she knew it was stupid but the little voice in the back of her mind told her otherwise. She had not planned on having a shower here but Catra had offered, stating she always showered the night before a flight so that she felt like herself before being shoved in a small cannister in the sky. She had agreed as Catra had placed a kiss on her nose before grabbing clothes and walking into the bathroom. Adora could not help but blush when she watched Catra walk out in boxers and a muscle shirt, with her wet hair making her look extremely hot. A smirk from Catra and Adora was adjusting herself as she walked into the bathroom, and now she allowed the conditioner to rinse from her hair before turning the tap off.

“You good princess?” Catra called out from behind the door

“Yes, sorry” Adora called back

“Just making sure” Catra said before walking away

Adora blushed at the thought of being naked behind the door with Catra feet away. Wrapping a towel around her hair she grabbed a second one as she quickly dried herself off. Looking at the clothes she left on the floor, she hoped that Catra wouldn’t mind as she slipped on a pair of underwear before pulling on a pair of booty shorts. Next came a tight tank top that showed off her chest. Stepping out she found Catra sitting on her bed checking something on her phone before she looked up a blush creeping up her cheeks.

“Cat got your tongue?” Adora teased

“You are beautiful” Catra said the blush travelling up to her ears

“No I’m not” Adora said shaking her head

“But you are, the most beautiful women I have ever seen” Catra said gently

“Even with this” Adora said motioning to the bulge in her short

“Even with that. Everyone is different, but different is good. Your different makes you who you are, and I would not change it for anything” Catra said smiling grabbing Adora’s hand and pulling her down

“Oh” Adora said giggling as she hovered over Catra

“You are beautiful, and I will make sure you know that every day” Catra said softly leaning up to kiss her

“You are wonderful” Adora said gently

“No not always, you just bring out the best in me” Catra said watching Adora

“Then you bring out the best in me. And as much as I like this, I think we should sleep” Adora said softly pushing herself up to kneel above Catra

“That is smart, they did change our flight time” Catra grumbled as she lifted her arms up stretching

“Oh hello” Adora said as Catra’s stomach came into view as well as the happy trail she had only had peaks at

“My stomach that good?” Catra asked shimmying to get her shirt up more

“Yes it is, now you need to stop. We need to sleep. As we are needing to be at the airport at noon, which means leaving at eleven. Which means to be up, fed and ready we need to be up by eight” Adora stated gently running her fingers along the trail of hair

“Then we will be. You get nervous when it comes to this, don’t you?” Catra asked gently

“I do, and anxious. I can control it usually, but in times like this where I am travelling it acts up. I take anxiety medication daily” Adora said softly her hand stilling as she watched Catra

“We all take medications, I take anti-depressants. I have since I was a teenager, they help me be me” Catra explained as she ran her hands along Adora’s arms

“So you don’t think anything less of me?” Adora asked nervously

“No, do you think any less of me?” Catra countered

“No” Adora said shaking her head a small smile passing her face

“There we have it then. Now come on princess, let us sleep. And I am the big spoon” Catra said slipping them so Adora now laid on her back

“I have never spooned...” Adora said softly

“Something new for you then. Get comfy, I will get the lights” Catra said slipping from bed

“You keep fixing your shirt, why?” Adora asked as she watched Catra play with it

“I don’t normally sleep in a shirt. Just boxers or nothing at all. So just getting used to it” Catra said shrugging

“Just take it off, I have already seen your breasts. You might as well get to sleep comfortably” Adora said rolling onto her side

“You sure?” Catra said surprised

“Very, now come to bed handsome” Adora said as she heard Catra’s shirt hit the floor

Adora felt the bed shift as Catra slipped into bed, moments later she felt the warmth of her body against her own. She could feel the metal bars in her nipples pressing into her back as she shifted around, a hand slowly crept under her neck and the other around her waist pulling her in close. A small moan escaped her body as she moved and got comfortable, the arm around her waist tightening and clutching at her as though she never wanted to let go. A small kiss on the back of her neck told her Catra was comfortable. Moving her arm to hold onto Catra’s she allowed herself to fall asleep.

*****

Adora woke first, the steady thumping of Catra’s heart calmed her. Opening her eyes she found that they had both moved and she now laid upon Catra’s chest, with her hand resting on her stomach. Closing her eyes again she allowed herself to relax, this was something she wanted to get used to but she feared that it all was to good to be true. Soon she began to feel Catra’s hand running up and down her back before she slipped under her tank top to rest on her bare skin. The moment she began feeling her blunt nails slowly running along her back the alarm began to blare.

“Of course, we are comfy” Catra grumbled as she reached around to find her phone as she turned it off

“Good morning” Adora said softly her fingers once more playing with the small amount of hair

“Good morning to you as well princess, are you having fun?” Catra asked playfully

“I am, didn’t expect a happy trail. But I am not complaining” Adora said blushing

“It doesn’t bother you?” Catra asked nervously

“Not at all. You don’t shave anywhere I have seen, so I should have expected it. But it is a good surprise. It shows you are comfortable with your body, and who you are. Does it lead to more?” Adora asked almost embarrassed

“You tell me” Catra said reaching down to pull her boxers down just a little

“Oh” Adora said as she moved her hand down just a little feeling a patch of hair

“Is that okay?” Catra asked worried

“More then” Adora said now running her fingers through the hair at the top of her mound

“Good. Yes yes Melog, I know” Catra grumbled as Melog jumped on the bed and started screaming

“He knows how to cock block” Adora said chuckling her hand retracting to lay on Catra’s stomach

“That he does. We will have all the time in the world in the next two weeks for everything or nothing at all” Catra said kissing the top of Adora’s head

“I hope for more then nothing, and maybe everything” Adora said softly

“We take our time, and do what we are comfortable with” Catra said reassuring her

“Okay okay, I will let your mother get up” Adora said as Melog now stood on Catra’s chest screaming once more

“He has us wrapped around his little paw” Catra said shaking her head as they sat up

“Swifty is the same way. Breakfast?” Adora offered

“You wanting to cook? I can cook” Catra offered slipping from bed

“No, I will cook” Adora said smiling now standing

“Deal, as long as you keep those lovely shorts and tank top on” Catra countered eyeing he once more

“You just want to stare at my tits” Adora said raising an eyebrow as she pulled her hair into a ponytail

“Guilty, and your clit” Catra said winking before walking from the room

Adora blushed, she could feel the blush rise from her chest to her cheeks. Catra was so open and amazing, she made her feel as though she was the only one around. Shaking her head she made her way into the kitchen, watching as Catra bent over filling Melog’s food dish. This was something she wanted, and this was something she hoped she would continue with Catra.

*****

“If you get another coffee you are going to have to pee like five times on the flight” Catra said chuckling as Adora looked over at the Tim Horton’s again

“Watching my peeing are we? Got a kink?” Adora teased

“Adora!” Catra sputtered as she looked around at the others sitting waiting for the plane

“What? It was a joke, wait do you have that kink?” Adora asked now serious

“No I do not! And I just could not believe you said that out loud” Catra said blushing

“Do you have kinks?” Adora asked now more intrigued

“Oh I do, you will learn them in time. Some are common and others are not. But that does not mean we have to do them” Catra stated as she looked towards the gate as she heard their plane being called

“I hope to learn with you. You know what? I want that coffee and I know you do to” Adora said jumping up and running towards the coffee shop

Catra chuckled as she shook her head, she watched as Adora’s golden hair bounced as she moved from foot to foot as she waited in line. Her smile as she soon was walking back with two large coffees, she looked very much like the princess that Catra called her. Soon they were making their way into the plane, Catra had not looked at their tickets much as she had let Adora choose their seats. Coming to find they were in business class instead of economy that she had paid for.

“Adora?” Catra asked raised eyebrow as they slipped into their larger seats

“Yes?” Adora countered smiling

“My ticket was for economy. Not business” Catra said as she looked at her ticket again

“I know. Mine was for business class, and I wanted us to sit together. So I may have paid for your upgrade, are you mad?” Adora said nervously as she sat watching her

“No, more annoyed. I could have paid for this myself, you just needed to tell me” Catra said shaking her head

“I just wanted to do something for you, you have done so much for me already” Adora said her voice wavering

“I am not mad. How much more was this seat?” Catra asked

“About three hundred more” Adora explained

“Okay, then I am going to find us something to do in Banff that I will pay for. No splitting it okay?” Catra said finally sitting down

“Okay, I should have told you” Adora said not looking at her

“Princess look at me please. I am not angry, but we need to speak about things like this. We are in a new relationship, so we need to talk about a lot of things. I am glad that I get to sit with you, but things like this need to be spoken about. Just like when we go to Europe, anything extra we will talk about together okay? I will follow you anywhere, you just have to tell me where we are going” Catra said reaching up to place her hand on Adora’s cheek

“Did I wreck this trip?” Adora asked softly watching Catra

“Not at all, we are having a conversation that all couples do. Are you okay?” Catra asked as she placed a kiss on her nose

“I am, I appreciate you” Adora said as they settled fully into their seats

“And I appreciate you” Catra said as the beginning of the announcements were heard

Chapter 21

Adora tried to read and make notes but the small snores that were coming out of Catra as she slept made her heart leap. They had been in the air for less then half an hour and she had passed out. Pulling out another book she finally managed to concentrate on what she was doing and writing. She had a plan for each of the universities but she needed to make notes so she could mentally remember everything. She was lucky that the professors had given her full ability to speak about anything she wished to speak about. Each lecture was three hours so she had lots of time to speak about almost everything. The next two hours passed quickly as she made notes until the snores ended and a hand slowly ran up and down her thigh.

“Did you have a good nap?” Adora asked chuckling

“I did, planes always make me sleepy” Catra said squeezing her leg gently

“Well I am glad your nap was that good” Adora said as she stopped writing

“Did you get all your notes done?” Catra asked looking at the stack

“I did. Now what do you want to learn about?” Adora asked watching her reaction

“Why are you asking me? You are the one who is speaking” Catra asked confused

“Because I can speak about anything, I have three hours to speak. What is something you wish to learn about?” Adora asked again

“Depends, the first or second war?” Catra asked thinking

“Both and I shall surprise you” Adora said a smirk crossing her face

“I want to learn more about the blue puttee’s and the Juno landing” Catra asked

“Done” Adora said leaning over hoping that Catra would understand what she wanted

“The doctor likes PDA” Catra laughed before leaning in and meeting her kiss halfway

“I like it with you, I like everything with you” Adora said blushing

“I like everything with you as well. Now you said in that magical bag of yours that you got some books” Catra stated

“I did, there are two in there that are in different languages so don’t mind those” Adora said as she handed the bag over for Catra to look through

“You can speak other languages?” Catra asked as she pulled a book out that was in German then another in Polish

“Yes and no. I can read and speak German, but I can only read Polish” Adora said blushing once more

“That is fine, I can teach you to speak it. I can read and speak it, my grandmother taught me” Catra explained as she kept the Polish book out as she handed the bag back to Adora

“I should have known you spoke it” Adora said taking the German book from her bag

“I should have known you spoke another language. And to be able to read in three languages is insane. You are brilliant Adora, really brilliant. Like genius level brilliant” Catra said praising her

“Trying to butter me up to get in my pants?” Adora said lowly

“Don’t need to butter you up princess to get in your pants” Catra answered even lower; sending a shiver down Adora’s spine

“Fuck, still have two hours. When we get in can we go to the hotel then get dinner?” Adora asked

“Of course, you need to untuck don’t you?” Catra asked softly

“I do, you speaking about getting in my pants got me going” Adora said shaking her head

“Oh I will get you going and going and going” Catra smirked wiggling her eyebrows

“Catra!” Adora said louder then she meant to

“Is everything alright here?” The flight attendant asked coming to their side

“Yes, sorry. My girlfriend here drank the last of the water you had brought me” Adora said lying

“I shall get you another water. Would you also like a water?” The flight attendant asked not believing them

“Yes please” Catra said blushing just a little as the flight attendant walked away

“Drank your water?” Catra mumbled

“It was the first thing that came to mind” Adora said shrugging as their water was brought over

“You are such an adorable idiot” Catra said sweetly

“Your adorable idiot” Adora said opening the book

Catra smiled at her as she began to read her book, opening hers she realized it was a biography of a survivor of Auschwitz. She soon was immersed in the book, she did not pay attention to the time and before she knew it they were beginning to land, a bookmark was handed over as Adora did the same. She could tell Adora was getting nervous, she had explained earlier in the day that she hated take off and landing. Slipping her hand onto her leg she felt her soft hand slip into her own as they waited to be on the ground.

*****

“Yes Dr. Grayskull, it is a pleasure to have you staying with us. And I see you added a guest on as well, a Miss Catarina Horde?” The receptionist stated

“Yes that is correct” Adora said as they checked in

“You can drop the doctor’s bags off. You can go back to your job” The receptionist said looking at Catra as she walked up behind carefully

“My job?” Catra asked

“Are you not the taxi or uber driver?” The receptionist asked confused

“No that would be Catarina Horde” Adair getting annoyed

“I am very sorry, I well yes. I will be right back” The receptionist stated as she ran off

“Does that happen a lot?” Adora asked looking at Catra who was shaking her head

“More then I would like to admit. Not surprising though, people see the tattoos and piercings and assume. And most people would not expect us to be together” Catra said shrugging

“I am so sorry for the wait, I am the customer relations manager” The manager stated

“I have upgraded your room to a king bed with a jacuzzi tub” The manager explained

“Making up for the comment that was made about me” Catra countered raising an eyebrow

“Well we strive to be the best and wish for everyone's stay to be pleasant” The manager stated

“Are you okay with one bed instead of two?” Adora asked

“That is fine by me” Catra said watching the manager

“We are very sorry once more” The manager said watching Catra carefully

“You are very lucky this was booked through the universities. If it were up to me, I would be finding another hotel. Discrimination of any sort, whether it intentional or not is not acceptable” Adora said taking the keycards from his hand

“I am very sorry once again” The manager said knowing this was not fixing anything

“Maybe train your staff not to judge someone based on their appearance” Catra said shaking her head as she grabbed their bags and turned away

“I am sorry” Adora said as she fell into step with her

“Why? You did nothing” Catra said shaking her head as they stepped into the elevator

“Because you were judged based on what you look like” Adora said as she leaned against the elevator as it rose

“It is normal for me, I chose to look like this so that means that I have to deal with it” Catra said shrugging as the elevator dinged and they stepped into the hallway

“Well I hate seeing you judged, because if they got to know you. They would learn how amazing and kind and compassionate you are” Adora said as they walked the hallway

“You are sweet, thank you baby” Catra said watching Adora blush at the pet name

“Oh” Adora said softly

“That is now mentally filed away. Here we are” Catra said smirking as she tapped the card and opened the door allowing Adora to walk in first

“Oh it is nice” Adora said as she watched Catra walk in behind her

“It is, and that big jacuzzi tub looks really nice” Catra said poking her head into the bathroom

“How big?” Adora asked peeking in behind her

“Big enough to fit both of us in there with room” Catra said wiggling her eyebrows

“I well, sure. Yes, wow” Adora stumbled over her words

“I love when you blush” Catra said brushing her hand along Adora’s stomach as she walked past

“We are supposed to be going to dinner!” Adora said groaning

“Still that worked up?” Catra asked tossing her bag on the bed

“I wasn’t until you touched me” Adora said leaning her forehead against the doorframe

“Well go untuck and rub one out if needed, then we can go for dinner” Catra said softly

“You really are going to be the death of me. I will just untuck and think of non sexy thoughts and hopefully it will go away” Adora said closing the bathroom door

Catra chuckled, the women who now stood in the bathroom really was taking her heart already. Pulling clothes out and placing them in the closet as she waited, five minutes later Adora was stepping out of the bathroom looking a lot more comfortable then before. Catra could not help but scan her body, she was still dressed in the same clothing from before but the slight bulge in the front of her pants told Catra she was still just a little hard. A nod of her head and they were making their way from the room once more and through the hotel towards the rental. They had decided on Sushi on the way from Ottawa, Catra had been told about an amazing sushi restaurant. The moment Adora had heard the name she had begun gushing over how delicious it was and was saddened that she had to leave it when she left Calgary those years before.

The drive to the sushi restaurant was quick and easy, Catra had taken the long way so that she could show Adora the tattoo shop she was working at for the next week. The drive along 17th ave was slower then she had wanted as there was a playoff game for hockey going on but nothing as bad as stampede. Finally making it to the sushi restaurant they sat down along the bar as the little sushi boats brought them half of their food as they chatted away. Catra watched as Adora laughed at something she had said and the way her face lit up made her heart beat faster in her chest. She knew that she would not let Adora go, even though they had been together for weeks; her mind and heart finally matched. Dinner finished as they made their way back towards the hotel, Catra drove past the parking garage three times before finally realizing where she was missing the turn off. She small giggle from Adora as she failed miserably made the mistake much light.

Adora watched as Catra opened the door for her and allowed her to walk into the elevator first, her heart was set on Catra. Something she had not expected already, making their way into the room she watched as Catra found her pajama pants and a shirt before slipping into the bathroom. Ten minutes was all it took for her to shower and change before stepping back out ready for bed.

“You know you don’t have to wear that shirt, you did say last night you did not sleep well in one” Adora said softly

“I don’t want to assume” Catra stated

“I appreciate it, but I know you hate it so please don’t just wear it for me. I do quite enjoy the show. And maybe I can look at those tattoos a little better” Adora said hoping she would say yes

“You can look at all of them, go shower and get changed princess” Catra said watching Adora smile before turning into the bathroom

Catra pulled the shirt off, tossing it onto the chair she flopped down onto the bed face first. She rested her head on her arms as she listened to the water running, her mind wandered onto Adora. She wondered what she fully looked like naked, she knew she looked like a goddess and she could not wait to worship her like she deserved. She listened as the water slowly faded as Adora finished, soon she was walking out in the tight booty shorts she learned she wore to bed and a tight tank top. Catra tried not to stare but she watched as Adora walked around the bed her nipples hard and poking through the thin material of the tank top.

“Can I touch you?” Adora asked as she looked down at Catra

“Of course princess, do you want me to move more in the middle?” Catra offered

“If you want to, can I straddle your hips?” Adora asked nervously

“Be my guest” Catra said shifting

Adora watched as she moved before coming up onto the bed, before throwing a leg over her legs. She moved to sit on her butt, she moved just a little as Catra moaned. She did not realize she had pressed her her clit into her butt, she felt her whole body blush as she felt Catra move her hips just a little to press into her.

“Do you enjoy that contact?” Adora asked as she ran her fingers down her back looking at the art

“I do, a lot more then I expected. Do you like the tattoos?” Catra asked as she felt Adora begin to trace a tattoo

“I do, I love that it is all so bright” Adora said smiling

“I am glad you like it so much” Catra said softly

“Would you tattoo me?” Adora as she traced the traditional rose on her neck

“Would you like me to?” Catra asked surprised

“I do, I want to get one for the event. I want you to tattoo me” Adora said running her hands now down her naked arms

“I would be honored to take your tattoo virginity” Catra said gently

“You are taking all my virginities” Adora said laughing loudly as she leaned down and pressed her chest against her back

“I guess I am aren’t I?” Catra said her heart pounding

“I wouldn’t have it any other way” Adora said placing a kiss on her cheek

Chapter 22

Catra woke first, she still could not get over the feeling of Adora’s body pressed against her own. She slowly opened her eyes and was met with a mess of perfect blonde hair, her one arm was under her head while her other rested on her stomach and she had to fight the urge to move it lower to cup her and make her feel perfect. She knew that now was the not the time but had made the decision that she would try to do anything and everything that Adora wanted. She could hear the low even breathing of Adora before she was interrupted as Adora’s alarm began to blare.

“Good morning beautiful” Catra said as Adora silenced the alarm

“Good morning handsome. Why did I set this alarm so early?” Adora grumbled

“As you said last night at dinner, you wanted to make sure to have a very good work out before having to teach” Catra chuckled as she flipped onto her back pulling Adora with her

“Right, and you so graciously agreed to come with me” Adora said tracing her hand along the center of Catra’s bare chest

“I did, maybe to work out or maybe to stare at you while you run and lift all those heavy weights” Catra countered playfully

“Maybe that is why I wanted to work out with you” Adora said softly as she ran a finger ever so slightly over a pierced nipple

“Adora, if you continue doing that. We will not be going to the gym and be doing a different type of work out, one in which we will not be making your presentation” Catra said smirking

“Oh” Adora said blushing as she stilled her fingers on Catra’s smaller breast

“I want you Adora, but not right now. We will continue our exploration and hopefully get to the best part soon” Catra said placing a kiss on her nose

“Are you sure? I know you were worried about my extra equipment” Adora said her hand returning to in between Catra’s breasts

“I was, but I like you. I really like you, and that means I like everything about you. And I want you fully, I may not be good at some things but that is okay. I will learn, just like you will learn how to pleasure me” Catra said confidently

“You know how to make a women feel needed and wanted” Adora said blushing more

“Always. Now up you get, before we get to comfortable” Catra said as Adora finally stood

Catra looked at Adora, she no longer tried to hide when she was ogling her. She stood in the tight tank top and booty shorts before rummaging through her bag and finding her gym clothes. A single wink before she slipped into the bathroom, less then five minutes later and Adora was walking out in running shorts and another tank top but with a sports bra underneath. Catra walked past her into the bathroom, quickly changing her clothes she emerged less then two minutes later. Making their way through the hotel and into the gym, they were met with an empty room as Adora climbed onto the treadmill and began her run. Catra had a hard time keeping her eyes off her as she ran, slipping onto a stationary bike she began her part of cardio. Her eyes almost never moving from Adora, her beauty was amplified as her skin grew red and sweat began to pour down her face.

“You like what you see?” Adora asked smirking as she slowed down

“Yes, fuck you are hot” Catra chuckled as she watched Adora begin racking plates to squat

“You almost done?” Adora asked

“I am, do you need a spotter?” Catra asked as she slowed

“I would appreciate it. Can you lift what I am lifting in case?” Adora countered

“Umm probably in an emergency. But that is a lot of weight, is that your normal amount?” Catra asked amazed

“No, they don’t have enough plates to do my normal. My personal record for a squat pre estrogen was four fifty. Now is is around three hundred, so this two hundred is nothing” Adora said shrugging

“Holy shit, my top is two hundred on a good day” Catra said amazed

“Does my weight lifting turn you on? You are breathing heavily now, and not just from cardio” Adora chuckled as she slipped under the bar

“Your muscles turn me on, never thought I would be into muscles until I met you” Catra said shaking her head

“Do you also have a sweat kink? Or is it just the bulging muscles after a work out without being all sweaty?” Adora asked as Catra came behind her as she got in place properly

“I don’t know. Now let us start” Catra said her mind working to figure it out

Catra listened to the chuckle that escaped Adora’s body as she began, Catra expected her to maybe do five squats but instead five came and went. No trembling in her body as she hit ten then fifteen then nineteen. Her final squat, number twenty a small tremble was seen in her legs before she re-racked the bar and stepped away. Catra realized she had an Adora kink, anything and everything Adora did turned her on. The small smile on Adora’s face told her she knew, shaking her head they continued on to the other machines. An hour later they were finally heading back to their room, Catra watched how Adora’s once perfect ponytail was messed up and everywhere.

“Do you want to shower first?” Adora asked

“No you go ahead, you probably will take longer to get ready then me” Catra countered

“What is that supposed to mean?” Adora asked pretending to be hurt

“You and your long hair will take forever to dry, and you probably want to do makeup of some sort. All I need to do is shower and wait to be dry to put tape on” Catra said truthfully

“Taping today? Is everything okay?” Adora asked worried

“Perfect, just one of those days where I want no breasts and to have a flat chest in my shirt” Catra shrugged as they walked into their room

“Okay catfish” Adora said bending to place a kiss on her forehead

Catra shook her head, she watched as Adora slipped into the bathroom as the shower began to run. Catra turned away from the bathroom before ruffling through her bag looking for her clothes when she heard the bathroom door open and the soft shuffle as Adora appeared with just a towel covering her.

“You good princess?” Catra asked trying to keep her eyes on her face

“You can say no to this” Adora said her nervousness showing

“What is it?” Catra asked

“Do you just want to come and shower with me? We both have to shower, so why should one of us wait. But I understand if you don’t want to” Adora said softly not looking at her

“You sure? I will see you naked” Catra countered

“And I will see you naked. Maybe this way we will get more comfortable with each other’s bodies” Adora said softly

“Works for me. What time is it?” Catra asked

“Barely seven. So as long as we leave by nine we will be good” Adora said nodding

“Lead the way then princess” Catra said more nervous then she had ever expected

Catra watched as Adora made her way back into the kitchen, Catra took a deep breath before pulling her shirt and bra from her body before pulling her shorts and boxers off. Walking into the bathroom she found Adora already in the shower her back to her. Catra took a moment to look at Adora’s naked back, the muscles moved as she ran her hands through her hair. Her eyes trailed down towards her butt, she had squeezed those strong tight muscles many times but seeing them bare for the first time made her want to worship them.

“Enjoying the view?” Adora asked not turning to look at her

“I am” Catra chuckled as she opened the shower door and slipped inside behind her

“Can I turn around?” Adora asked nervously

“Of course, let me see all of you” Catra said confidently

Adora took a deep breath before turning to stand facing Catra, they were still so close that Catra’s face was only a few inches from her shoulders. She watched as Catra looked up at her smiling before stepping back a foot before taking her time and scanning her body. Catra started by looking at Adora in the eyes like she always did, the blue eyes that captivated her every time she stared at her. Her eyes soon travelled down to her chest where the breasts that spilled over in her hands waited to be touched and caressed. Looking back up once more she saw the worry etched on Adora’s face before she finally looked down. Adora had a small patch of blond hair sat above her semi-hard clit, Catra never expected to have her mouth water at the sight but the fact that it was slowly becoming larger and harder as her foreskin pulled back just enough to see the red tip made that happen.

“So....”Adora said softly

“You are beautiful, so beautiful. And your clit is beautiful, and so hard for me?” Catra asked her hands coming to rest on her hips

“The moment you agreed to come shower with me, it began to get hard” Adora said softly blushing

“Can I?” Catra asked hopefully

“Can you what?” Adora asked confused

“Can I touch you? Can I make you feel good?” Catra asked hopefully

“Yes please” Adora said breathlessly

Catra watched her face for a moment before smiling mischievously, maneuvering her body so her back was now towards the built in seat she pushed her gently until the back of Adora’s knees hit the seat and she sat down confused. Catra was watching her for any signs of discomfort as she dropped down onto her knees in front of Adora. The blush that crept up Adora’s chest and her neck made this better, running her left hand against her thigh she waited until Adora’s breathing once more leveled out before reaching out and wrapping her right hand around her clit for the first time.

“Holy fuck” Adora groaned bucking her hips into Catra’s hand

“Relax baby, you will not enjoy this as much if you aren’t relaxed” Catra said gently

“Hard to relax when this is the first time someone is giving you a hand job” Adora said her hand reaching out to cup Catra’s cheek

“True, remember this is my first hand job. So tell me if I need to change how I am doing it” Catra said her left hand still moving in soothing motions

“A little tighter on your grip, but so far it is good” Adora said watching Catra

“Good girl, telling me how you like it” Catra said tightening her grip as a whimper escaped Adora

“You want to be my good girl yes?” Catra said knowing how much she loved the praise

“Yes” Adora whimpered

“Lay your head back and close your eyes, just feel” Catra said watching as Adora did what she said

The moment Adora’s head leaned back Catra began moving her hand, the twitch in her legs showed she was doing it right. Slowly moving from the base to the tip, watching as her foreskin exposed the beautiful red head that was weeping pre-cum. Getting bolder she ran her thumb along the head collecting the pre-cum as she listened to the even louder moan escape Adora as she touched the sensitive head. Beginning to move her hand faster she watched as Adora’s face contorted in pleasure, getting bold she removed her left hand from her leg before cupping her balls for the first time. Gently squeezing them in her hand she watched as Adora’s eyes flew open as her mouth hung open, doing it again she felt Adora’s hand come to rest on her bicep as she sped up.

“Going to....cum” Adora managed to get out before her balls were tightening

“Cum for me pretty girl, show me how much you enjoyed me touching you” Catra said as she head the scream that escaped Adora as she pointed her clit towards her own chest

Catra had not expected her to cum so hard, her balls tightened before unleashing squirt after squirt. Painting Catra’s chest before slowly fading so that a small stream escaped coating her hand as she continued to slowly move her hand until Adora reached down and stilled it. Catra watched her breathing heavily before her smile grew, letting go of her clit she kept her eyes on Adora as she raised her hand before tentatively licking the cum off her fingers before realizing she enjoyed the taste and licked the rest clean.

“Are you trying to get me horny again?” Adora groaned

“No, but I could” Catra said mischievously

“I would like that but I want to touch you” Adora said hopefully

“Are you sure?” Catra asked her heart pounding in her chest as she could feel how wet she was

“I am, could you. Would you sit where I am sitting? Or what would be easier?” Adora asked

“How about we shower first then you can make me cum? It would be easier on the bed for me” Catra said truthfully

“Oh okay, sure” Adora said understanding as she slowly stood

Catra watched her, she was still blushing but she was calmer in a way she had never seen. Twenty minutes later they were stepping from the shower, Adora had a towel wrapped around her hair while another wrapped around her body. Catra watched her knowing she could get used to this sight, stepping into the bedroom she found that it was only seven thirty, they had been in there less then half an hour.

“I thought we would have been in there longer” Catra stated

“Well I did cum in less then five minutes. So not surprising, now can I make you feel as good as you made me feel?” Adora asked hopefully

“You do not have to if you are not wanting to” Catra said softly

“But I do, I am nervous about it. But I want to make you feel good” Adora said softly

“Okay, I am going to lay down and you finish drying off and I will be waiting for you” Catra explained

Adora nodded as she stepped back into the bathroom as she listened to Catra’s towel dropping. Taking a deep breath she stepped back into the room, coming towards the bed she found Catra laying there, her arms behind her head as she spread her legs just a little.

“Wow” Adora managed to get out

“Wow indeed, someone is getting excited again” Catra joked

“How do you like it?” Adora asked as she climbed on the bed kneeling above her

“Any way you want to do it, I am not a hard one to make cum” Catra said blushing

“Good to know” Adora said before bending down to kiss her

Catra moaned into the kiss as Adora's hand began to explore her chest and her stomach before it slowly crept down into her thick well kept bush before brushing her clit for the first time. She did not mean to buck her hips but the simple touch was electric. Her hand soon dipped down, a single finger circling her entrance before dipping inside just barely.

“Farther in please” Catra groaned

Adora did as she was asked, slipping her finger inside her fully for the first time she was obsessed. Curling her finger like all the books had told her, she was met with a loud moan as Catra’s eyes closed. Taking a chance she slipped another finger slowly inside, the way that Catra’s hips moved so that she could take more of her fingers told her this was what she wanted. Moving carefully moved so she was now kneeling between her legs as she slid the hand that was once holding her up towards her clit. Putting pressure one it she heard a low groan, one she did not believed was a good sound.

“To hard, like this” Catra said placing her finger over Adora’s

“Slow and soft” Catra said showing her

“Will you cum for me handsome?” Adora asked as Catra pulled her hand away

“Yes, keep curling your fingers” Catra moaned loudly as she grabbed at the sheets

Adora watched as Catra almost clawed at the sheets, her body was shaking as her toes curled. Adora began moving her fingers faster inside of her, curling as she pulled them out. She didn’t know what to expect but she began to feel Catra’s inner walls tighten before her body shook, a small amount of liquid squirting over her hand. Catra’s hands immediately were holding hers still as her shaking slowed as she opened her eyes slowly.

“You sure you have never done that?” Catra asked softly

“I am sure, are you sure you have never given a hand job?” Adora asked pulling her fingers out slowly before looking at them before placing them in her mouth

“Oh you taste good” Adora moaned

“So do you. Fucking hell, that was good” Catra said as Adora flopped down beside her as she snuggled in

“It will get better. Now I like this but you need to get ready” Catra said feeling Adora’s hard clit against her leg

“I know, I should deal with this again” Adora grumbled

“So much for estrogen making you not hard” Catra chuckled

“Do you mind?” Adora asked gesturing to her hard clit

“Not at all” Catra said as she watched Adora flip onto her back and grasp her clit

Catra watched as Adora began to stroke her clit, hard for the second time in less then an hour. Turning she pushed herself up before running her hand along Adora’s chest, pinching a nipple gently causing her to push her chest farther into her hand. Leaning down Catra took her closest nipple in her mouth as she pinched and tweaked the other nipple as Adora continued to stroke her clit.

“Pinch them harder please” Adora begged

“Your wish is my command princess” Catra said gently as she pinched harder as she took the other nipple in between her teeth and bit down

“Fucking hell” Adora groaned loudly

“Such a mouth on such a pretty girl, will you cum for me? Will you be a good girl and cum all over your hand and stomach for me?” Catra asked as she tweaked the nipple again

“Catra, Catra” Adora groaned out as she pointed her clit once more to her belly as rope after rope of cum splattered her stomach

“That was hot” Catra said placing a kiss on her lips

“What are we doing Catra?” Adora asked her breathing heavy

“Being adults, who are exploring what intimacy is to them. And I am all for it” Catra said truthfully

“I never thought I would find someone like you” Adora said sadly

“Well I am here, and I am not leaving. Now you need to get cleaned up and ready. We need to leave in half an hour” Catra said looking at the time

“Shit yes, blouse and skirt or blouse and dress pants?” Adora said jumping up

“Blouse and dress pants. The weather app says there is a possibility for light snow today” Catra said looking through her phone

“Deal thank you” Adora said slipping into the bathroom

Catra continued to lay for a moment, her mind was everywhere but it was in a way she wanted. What she had just done with Adora was something she never expected to do, but she wanted to do it again and again. Her heart was Adora's she wouldn’t say she was in love but she believed in time she would be. She watched as Adora stepped from the bathroom once again, bra and a sexy thong on, she was a goddess and in that moment Catra knew she would never give up on Adora and the relationship they were building.

Chapter 23

“You are staring” Adora said as they drove

“It is hard not to. You are fucking hot princess. Knowing you have a tiny little lace thong on under those delicious tight pants, is driving me crazy. I am also amazed you can tuck your clit so well to wear pants like that without any noticeable bulge” Catra said truthfully

“Years of learning, I have watched a lot of how to videos and practiced a lot. I only have one person I want to look at my bulge” Adora said placing her hand on Catra’s thigh and squeezing

“Oh yeah? That lady is very lucky” Catra said playfully

“She is very lucky, and amazing and perfect. Oh and handsome, and sexy” Adora countered playfully

“You sound like you really like her” Catra said taking a sip of her coffee

“I do, and I hope she really likes me” Adora said now nervous

“She does, a lot. More then I should so soon into our relationship” Adora said as they pulled into the university

“I agree princess, we are on the same page” Catra said softly calming her worry

“I am sorry, I get in my head some times” Adora said softly as she parked the car

“I know you do, and I will reassure you every time you do. That is what girlfriends do” Catra said smiling widely

“You are a charmer” Adora stated shaking her head as they slipped from the car as she grabbed her bag

“I try. Now do you know where we have to go?” Catra asked holding their coffee’s

“Follow me catfish” Adora said waving for her to follow

Catra fell into step, she looked around the large university as small amounts of snow began to fall around them. Stepping into a building she continued to follow as she walked through the hallways, she felt out of place in a place like this but she knew she was supposed to be here with Adora.

“Adora, I am so glad you agreed to this” The older professor stated

“I am glad to be here, Michael. Catra this is Michael, he is the professor of military history here. He was my professor for multiple classes through my four years. And Michael this is my girlfriend Catra” Adora said introducing them

“Very nice to meet you, and welcome to the university of Calgary. You look at though you feel out of place” Michael said running his hand through his long beard as he spoke

“A little, this is different for me” Catra said truthfully

“I understand, universities are not for everyone. And if I may be frank, I do not believe you went to university did you? From your tattoo’s I believe you are a tattoo artist correct?” Michael asked kindly

“You are correct. Is that okay?” Catra asked not knowing how to read the man in front of her

“Of course it is, I have quite a few myself. And my daughter is looking to begin an apprenticeship hopefully. We all have our skills, some are book and school based while others are artistic. You two seem to balance each other out. Now come the lecture hall is set up for you” Michael said smiling as he began walking in front of them

Catra was stunned, she had not expected him to be so open and relaxed. Following him they made their way through the hallways until they came to a lecture hall, stepping inside she was amazed to see a couple hundred seats set up like a movie theater. In the front was a large screen and white board with a large desk she knew Adora would most likely lean on as she spoke.

“The students will be coming in in about twenty minutes, this lecture is not mandatory and the students had to sign up for it. All years were allowed to sign up, and we had every history student sign up. So you will be lecturing to around two hundred students today. Catra you are able to sit in one of the seats for the lecture as well” Michael said gesturing to the small desks

“Perfect, thank you Michael. Anything else I need to know?” Adora asked as she placed her bag on the desk

“Oh yes, the military museum here found out that you were coming. They inquired if you would be willing to go there after this lecture to do a small lecture to a group of high school students who are doing a day trip to the museum? It would be around one pm” Michael asked

“Catra?” Adora said looking at her

“Why are you asking me? It is your decision princess” Catra countered

“Yes but we thought we would have the afternoon to do other stuff” Adora explained

“I am good with listening to you speak about history twice in a day” Catra said truthfully

“Then yes I will do it” Adora stated

“Perfect, I will contact them and let them know you both will be there” Michael stated before walking out

“Are you sure you are okay with it?” Adora asked softly

“More then princess, I love listening to you speak about what you are passionate about” Catra said reaching up to pull her down into a kiss

“Thank you, I needed that. Now go get a good seat” Adora said as Catra pulled back

Catra did as Adora said, grabbing her coffee off the desk she placed one last kiss on her cheek before taking a seat right in the front row. She watched as Adora pulled out her laptop before hooking it up to the small podium and the projector came to life, the screen now showed a power point up on the screen. Her glasses soon came out of her bag as they were perched on her nose, the riffling of papers were soon heard as the murmuring of talking was now being heard coming from the hallway as students began to file in. Adora watched as the students filed in, all taking their seats as the rustling of their bags as they took out their notebooks was heard.

“She is fucking hot. Maybe this won’t be a snooze fest. Maybe I’ll ask her out after this” A male student said behind Catra

“She looks like she would be a freak in bed. It is always the clean cut looking ones who are” Another student stated

“Whatcha think, you look like a lesbian” The first male student stated as he smacked her shoulder

“I think you should watch what you say and shut your mouth. That is what I think” Catra snarled

“What crawled up her ass” The second student said as the lights dimmed just a little

“Good morning, my name is Dr. Grayskull, I am a doctor of military history. I did my bachelor’s here at the UofC, my specialty is Canada in the first and second world wars. Now I have been given free range to speak about whatever I wish. Now I will ask that questions are held onto until I have finished each topic. Is that understood?” Adora asked looking around as her eyes were trained to Catra

“We will begin with the start of world war one....” Adora began

Catra listened, she knew Adora thought she was just saying she could listen to her speak for hours. But the way she spoke and the love and care she spoke of each topic made Catra fall for her more and more. The hours passed quickly, she had gone over over twenty topics but had spent the longest on the first five hundred and the landings at Juno beach. Catra watched as Adora pushed her glasses up her nose again and again, something about the simple task was so sexy. Adora held the attention of every student that sat int he lecture hall, she heard no talking other then when t he questions came. She finally came to an end as Michael stepped back into the lecture hall, he began speaking before the students were dismissed. Adora watched as Catra kept her seat as the two students who were sitting behind Catra were walking towards her.

“That was amazing, can I take you out and show you a good time?” The first male student asked

“I appreciate your enthusiasm but no thank you” Adora said shaking her head politely

“Come on, I can show you an amazing time. If you know what I mean” The guy stated again a creepy grin growing on his face

“Once again no thank you. I am in a very happy relationship. And this is completely inappropriate” Adora stated as Catra began walking towards them

“Just give me a chance, I am much better then your boyfriend” The guy stated getting annoyed

“My lovely girlfriend told you no. I think you should tuck that tail in between your legs and leave” Catra said coming to Adora’s side

Adora couldn’t help but smile as the two students did exactly what Catra had told them to do, they faces fell but knew not to argue as they slipped from the room. She watched as Catra smiled before turning to begin helping her organize her things, they didn't have a ton of time before they had to head to the museum. Ten minutes and many thanks and handshakes from Michael and they were gone.

“So...Did you enjoy that?” Adora asked nervously as Catra got into the drivers seat this time

“I did, a lot. You are magical when you speak, you pull everyone in and I would listen to you for hours, days even” Catra said softly as she pulled out of the parking lot

“Thank you, it means a lot that you are so willing to listen to me and yeah” Adora said blushing

“I love when you get like this, you are so brilliant but you get so flustered when I compliment you like this” Catra said smirking as she rested her hand on her thigh

“Watch your hand, I still have a lecture to give” Adora said slipping her own into Catra’s

*****

“Have you ever been here before?” Adora asked as they pulled into the parking lot of the military museum

“No, I have driven past it a few times when I have come here. But never have I come in” Catra said looking at the tanks the tanks that sat on the front lawn

“They had three museum’s before. One for army, one for navy and one of air force. Then quite a few years ago they decided to combine all three into the museum you see now” Adora explained as they exited the car

“Interesting, makes the most sense that everything is together. Did you ever help out here?” Catra asked as they walked towards the entrance

“I have yes, a few times. I was able to shadow their restoration team and their historians during my second and third year” Adora explained as they walked inside

“Look at this!” Catra said looking over the railing a the tank scene that sat below the entrance

“You must be Dr. Grayskull, my name is Mermista. I am the head coordinator here at the military museum’s of Calgary. I am pleased you are able to come and speak to a class of grade twelves on such short notice. May I ask who you have with you....Catra?” Memristor asked

“Merm? Is this the new job Seahawk was telling me about?” Catra asked as she stood beside Adora

“It is, oh my is this Adora? The new girlfriend?” Mermista asked now putting everything together

“It is. Adora this is Mermista, she is the wife of my friend Seahawk. His studio is the one I am guesting at this week” Catra said as Mermista pulled her into a hug

“Do you two have dinner plans tonight?” Mermista asked

“No, well I don’t think so. Do we?” Catra asked looking at Adora

“No we do not” Adora stated watching Catra smile

“Perfect, you two are coming for dinner. Now let us get you all set up, you only need to speak for around forty-five minutes to an hour. I have been told your specialty is Canadian history, but is it possible to speak about the Allies and the Axis powers?” Mermista asked

“That is possible, I take it that is what they are leaning about currently?” Adora asked

“Yes, it is what the teachers asked of us when we said we could possibly get a speaker in” Mermista stated

“Fine by me, can we tour the museum after? I can see you updated the Calgary Highlander’s exhibit and I would like to look through it” Adora countered

“You can go anywhere in the building. If you want to see the back archives and our restoration rooms let me know and I will take you. Actually I will take you right after you are done speaking then you can tour. How does that sound?” Mermista countered

“Perfect, are you good with that Catfish?” Adora asked

“Sounds perfect princess” Catra said smiling as she took Adora’s hand

“Catfish?” Mermista asked as they walked

“I will explain at dinner tonight” Catra chuckled as they walked towards the smaller auditorium

Chapter 24

“Did you have fun?” Catra asked as they slipped into the car

“I should be asking you that. You just had to sit through another one of my lectures” Adora countered

“I could listen to you speak and teach for hours. I had a lot of fun, two completely different lectures. I should start bringing a notebook to learn more and hold in all the knowledge you teach me” Catra said smiling

“You don’t mean that” Adora said as they pulled from the parking lot

“Oh I do, I learn something new every time I get to see you lecture. And I love it and want more” Catra explained

“Well you can have a lecture a day if you want” Adora said playfully

“I want that, now back to the hotel to change then to Seahawk and Mermista’s. If that works?” Catra said taking the exit

“Of course” Adora said as Catra’s hand slipped into her own

*****

Catra could not keep her eyes off of Adora, the intimate moment they had in the morning had changed how they looked at each other. No longer did Catra feel weird about staring at her, and Adora now was confident as she walked around with just a thin lace thong and bra as she looked for something else to wear. She had untucked the moment they stepped into the room, and Catra could not think of anything else other then how it looked encased in lace.

“You are staring” Adora said chuckling

“Oh, I didn’t think you were paying attention” Catra said blushing

“I wasn’t but then you just kept staring so I noticed. I enjoy it though” Adora said gently

“You are so beautiful” Catra said coming behind her and wrapping her arms around Adora's waist as she placed kiss after kiss in the middle of her back

“And you are so very handsome” Adora said the tension she was holding in melting away

*****

“Catra! Merm was over the moon when she saw you at the museum!” Seahawk said pulling her into a hug and smacking her on the back as he talked

“I didn’t realize that was where her new job was!” Catra said returning the hard hug

“She loves it, and look at you. You must be Dr. Adora Grayskull, Merm was so excited talking about the possibility of getting a world class historian to talk at the museum today. And then to find out you are Catra’s girlfriend, that was the icing on the cake!” Seahawk said letting go of Catra and extending his hand towards Adora

“It is a pleasure to meet you, and I am glad that I was able to talk there” Adora said blushing at the complements

“She is world class, head curator and maybe in time I can convince her to write a book or two” Catra said watching Adora grow redder

“Well yes. I mean, you think I am world class. I would say I am an ordinary historian” Adora said her face as red as it could get

“Nah you are perfection princess” Catra said gently as Seahawk ushered them into the house

*****

“How did you and Catra meet?” Seahawk asked as as they sat in the living room after dinner

“I bartend on the weekend at one of the queer bars, I have bartended since my first year of university. A little extra money was always nice, and now it is just because it gets me out of my very white collar job and allows me to interact with like people. But she came up to my bar on her birthday, I made her a drink and gave her a kiss and then she was gone. I didn’t get any information other then her name, the rest of the weekend I only thought of her. Then guess who walked into my museum with her niece on the Monday?” Adora explained as she sipped the wine in her hand

“She did not!” Mermista said loudly

“She did, this hot masc I was dreaming about walked right back into my life. And then we spent a week getting to know each other then stared dating” Adora explained

“I have know Catra for years, she has never talked about a women like this nor has she ever looked at a women like she looks at you’” Seahawk explained

“That is what I keep getting told. Now how do you know Catra?” Adora asked watching Catra blush

“Oh that is a easy one. Twelve years ago I had a young women walk into my shop with her grandmother, she wanted a tattoo. And I gave her it, then a month later she walked back in and demanded an apprenticeship. I sat her down and requested a drawing as she had brought her portfolio. She started the next day, three years later she was ready to be on her own. I helped her set up the shop once she purchased it, sent a good amount of my clients to her as we had decided to move here the following year. And the rest is history” Seahawk explained

“Well you taught her well, her art is amazing” Adora complimented

“You would be amazed, Catra here is a natural. Her art is beautiful and amazing and the moment she put a tattoo machine into her hand she was going to be great. So little work needed to be done to train her properly” Seahawk said raising his glass to her

“I was not that good” Catra said blushing more

“You were and are. Cake?” Mermista asked as she stood

“Please!” Catra said her stomach growling again

“You just ate, how are you still hungry?” Adora asked amazed

“Says the amazon who ate double what I did and probably could eat a whole cake by herself” Catra teased

“Well I burn a lot of calories in my work outs” Adora blushed

”I know princess, I am just bugging you” Catra said smiling as the cake was brought in

“Now tell me about this catfish nickname” Mermista said handing them plates

Catra just laughed as she went into the story of how she got the nickname, the next hour passed before they said their goodbyes as they slipped into their car once more and headed back to the hotel. Catra watched as Adora once more stripped as she slipped into even shorter shorts then the night before as she stood holding a shirt in her hand as though she was debating wearing it or not. Catra made it easier for her to decide, slipping off everything but the new pair of boxers she had just pulled on she looked at Adora who just smiled before unclipping her bra and slipping into bed.

“Turn over” Adora said softly

“Hmm?” Catra mumbled confused as she was laying on her side facing her

“I want to look at your tattoos” Adora said now worried

“Oh okay” Catra said flipping over so she now laid on her back

Adora blushed as Catra just laid there her hands behind her head allowing her access to her body. Adora took the chance as she threw her leg over Catra’s hips as she placed her hands on her heavily tattooed stomach. Just like she had done the night before, her soft hands slowly traced tattoo after tattoo. This time actually taking the time to memorize them, Catra shivered every time Adora touched her. This was far from sexual but this simple thing was almost better then sex.

“You are handsome” Adora said tracing the sword on her side

“Me or my artwork?” Catra said reaching to hold her thighs

“Both, your artwork is apart of you. So it is you” Adora said softly

“I cannot wait to be the one to place a piece of art on your body” Catra said softly

“I cannot wait to have a piece of your art on my body” Adora said softly a shiver running up her spine as Catra watched her

“Is it to soon to have your girlfriend tattoo you with her own artwork?” Catra asked now worried

“No, because no matter what happens that is a piece of art that I will never hate” Adora said smiling widely

Catra just smiled up at her as she wrapped her hands around her shoulders as she pulled her down as she placed a hard kiss on her lips. Adora moaned as Catra held her against her chest, their breasts pressed together before Adora pulled back as she laid her head in the crook of Catra’s neck. They laid like that for a few minutes before Adora rolled off before placing her head on Catra’s chest allowing sleep to take them both.

Chapter 25

Catra sat listening to Adora speak once more, she was obsessed with listening to Adora. She knew she was speaking about the same things she had the day before, but the say she spoke made it as though she was just talking to friends. The hours passed as the lecture came to an end, Catra watched as Adora took the last few questions before they were dismissed. Catra was watching the time she still had an hour and a half before she had to begin her first tattoo so she knew that she could stand and talk with some of the students if they wished for it. Catra soon stood making her way to Adora as two young women came to a stop in front of Adora.

“Your lecture was amazing” The first girl said

“So amazing! You speak as though you could talk about it for hours” The second girl stated

“Thank you, it is my passion. I could speak about it for hours” Adora said kindly

“And your thesis was amazing, when I heard you were the guest I made sure to sit down and read it” The first girl said watching Adora closely

“Very few people have fully read my thesis” Adora said surprised

“It was amazing! You are amazing, would you like to go for a drink with me?” The first girl asked

“I appreciate the offer, I actually have a girlfriend” Adora said motioning to Catra

“Oh okay. That is okay” The first girl said disappointed

“But they are damn hot” The second girl said as they walked away

“You seem to attract everyone” Catra said leaning on the desk

“I do, it is a blessing and a curse. It is nice to know I pass so well, but because I do I then get the constant comments as you see” Adora said shaking her head

“Well it is because you are approachable and fucking sexy” Catra said wiggling her eyebrows

“Oh hush you. Now let us get you to the shop” Adora chuckled grabbing her bag

“Of course, then you are off to the mall?” Catra asked taking the bag from her hand

“Actually no, I got a offer to go see Mewata armories. First time I have gotten a chance to see it” Adora said as they walked through the halls

“That sounds cool, I love when you are so excited about something like this” Catra said watching her grow redder

“You are just saying that” Adora said as they stepped into the cool spring air

“No, I will tell you it again and again. I love how passionate you are about this, and I would listen to you speak about it for the rest of my life” Catra said opening her door as Adora slipped inside

“You are cheesy, but I enjoy it. Come here handsome” Adora said pulling Catra down for a kiss

*****

“So” Seahawk stated watching her

“So what?” Catra countered

“You are smiling like an idiot” Seahawk said leaning back in his chair

“Well it is hard not to when I have a girlfriend like Adora” Catra countered

“You are head over heels for her” Seahawk stated

“I am, god she is perfect” Catra countered

“You found the one Catra. I have known you since you were eighteen. You have never looked or spoken about someone like you are now” Seahawk stated

“She is the one, I just know it” Catra stated as the bell above the door rang and her first client walked in

*****

Adora walked around the armory, she spoke with those military personal who worked in the building. They spoke with her about things they knew and she added in her knowledge of the hundred year old building. She walked each room and floor, the hours passed before she finally was ready to leave. She had not expected to be there for three hours but it was a good time to grab coffee and donuts before popping into the tattoo shop. Finding the closest Tim’s she grabbed more then she probably needed but she did not care. A short drive and more time then it should have taken to find a parking spot she was unloading the vehicle. Walking down the street she found the shop before slipping inside the bell ringing announcing her arrival.

“Good afternoon miss, may I help you?” The receptionist asked

“I was looking for Catra” Adora said placing the boxes on the counter

“She is currently with a client, and unfortunately if you are looking for an appointment when you are here. She is fully booked” The receptionist said eyeing the donuts

“Well it is a good thing I am not looking for a tattoo but instead my girlfriend” Adora said chuckling

“Oh you are Adora. I was told that you would possibly pop in” The receptionist said her demeanor changing

“Can you put these where everyone can have some?” Adora asked

“Of course, take a seat I will let her know you are here” The receptionist said taking the items

Adora sat watching some of the artists work, the sound of the tattoo machines echoing through the large room. She could hear Catra’s voice as she spoke, taking out her phone she began playing a game as she waited. The next half an hour passed quickly as Catra’s voice got louder as she spoke with the women she had just been tattooing. A few quick comments later and the women was handing her a handful of cash and slipping from the door.

“Hey princess” Catra said pulling her into a kiss

“Hey handsome, how was your first tattoo?” Adora asked

“Perfect, couldn’t ask for a better tattoo then a She-Ra tattoo” Catra said smiling widely

“When is your next tattoo?” Adora asked

“Half an hour, but I have to get ready for it” Catra said softly

“That is fine, I will go do some shopping now. I just wanted to bring you some snacks” Adora said softly

“We appreciate it, any particular place you are going shopping?” Catra asked leaning on the counter

“Antique shops, and maybe the old military shop they used to have in Inglewood” Adora said shrugging

“Whatcha looking for?” Catra asked

“Militaria, you know I collect it. So I want to se if I can find some medals and small easy items to take home” Adora said blushing

“I like that idea, do I get a history lesson tonight?” Catra asked pushing off the counter

“Would you like one?” Adora said as Catra rested her hands on her waist

“I would love one, I want to hear about each and every item. Now off you go princess” Catra said reaching up to pull her down into a kiss

*****

“She is head over heels for you” Seahawk stated ass her last client of the day walked out

“I think we are both falling hard and fast” Catra said blushing as the bell rang

“Keep her, no matter what obstacles you face. She brings out the best in you and you bring out the best in her” Seahawk said as the bell rang again

“We are closed” Seahawk called out

“Even for me?” Adora asked poking her head around the partition

“We are never closed for you. Hello beautiful” Catra said smiling widely

“Hello handsome, how was your first day?” Adora asked stepping into the main tattooing area

“Good, three tattoos. And tomorrow is five as they are medium sized” Catra said as she began dismantling her machine

“That is awesome, you make it look so easy” Adora said leaning again the table

“It is easy, want to try?” Catra offered

“Try what? Tattooing? Are you crazy?” Adora said taken by surprise

“Depends on the day how crazy I am. You can try, I can show you” Catra said gently

“On what?” Adora said her heart pounding in her chest

“On me, even if you just do a line or even a dot. Up to you” Catra said still holding the machine out

“Oh....Okay” Adora said nodding

Catra smiled widely, taking the machine back she began to assemble it. Placing black ink in the small container she began to explain how to tattoo and what to do. Offering her gloves before motioning for her to move places, hoping up on her table she pulled up her pant leg.

“Hand me that razor please” Catra said motioning for the new disposable razor in the packaging

“Okay” Adora said nodding as she handed it off

Catra soon began explaining why she needed to shave the spot before going through the motions of preparing her skin. No stencil was needed as she was allowing Adora to do anything she liked. Handing over the machine she watched as Adora looked at it before looking at her nervously.

“You will do amazing princess, now you have the ability to do anything you want on my leg okay?” Catra said reassuring her

Catra was nervous, she would not allow Adora to know it but she was. This was the first time she had ever allowed a partner to tattoo her. She watched as Adora pressed the peddle and the machine came to life, she weighed it in her hand as she took a deep breath. Dipping it into the ink she took one final look at Catra’s face before looking at the bare skin. Placing the needle against her skin she pressed the peddle.

“Push harder, there you do” Catra said as Adora began

“Like that?” Adora asked as she moved the machine

“Perfect” Catra said watching her not the machine

“Okay, I am done” Adora said pulling back

“Perfect, was that scary?” Catra asked

“Very, but it was fun to” Adora said as she watched Catra wipe it before her breath hitched

“I thought it was cute” Adora said softly

“I love it” Catra said as she looked at the shaky heart tattooed on her leg

Chapter 26

Adora could not believe the week had passed as quickly as it did, her Wednesday had been calm with shopping and relaxing as Catra tattooed. While Thursday was the first day of the conference, it was her first time at the conference as a full doctor but the moment she walked in there she realized how out of place she was. She was one of the youngest historians anywhere in the building and was one of the few females under the age of fifty. The first day was spent speaking on their related topics while she was able to meet and socialize with some of the biggest names in the industry. She did not realize how draining it was as she curled into Catra the moment they had gotten into their hotel room, she needed the grounding touch of her. Now here she sat on the second and final day of the conference. This day was a little more interesting for her, it was the day that those who had made discoveries in their field finally got to speak about them before they were released publicly.

“I saw your name on the roster for the commonwealth trip. We can get to know each other” A British historian stated

“Depends, are you attempting to get in my pants or are you actually wishing to be collegues?” Adora countered

“Depends on what you wish for” The man smiled

“I have a girlfriend, so I am good on the getting in my pants part thanks” Adora said watching him

“Oh, I am sorry” The man said before making his way from her

“You put him in his place very quickly” An older man said in a thick Polish accent

“I did. Sorry where are my manners, I am Dr. Adora Grayskull” Adora said holding out her hand

“Dr. Illarij. It is a pleasure to meet you, I have read you articles. Have you thought of writing a book?” Illarij asked

“Maybe, I want to get comfortable in my job first then I will think about it more” Adora said smiling

“That makes sense for someone your age, you are what thirty-one?” Illarij asked

“I am” Adora said nodding

“You have much time, you do your work. You will find love, but it sounds as though you have already” Illarij stated

“It is new, but I think love will come soon. Sorry you never told me your last name” Adora siad as he smiled

“Zenowski, Dr. Illarij Zenowski” Illarij said

“Oh my god, I just finished your book. The nurses of Auschwitz was amazing and informative, I cannot believe I am meeting you right now” Adora said excitedly

“I am glad I have a fan in you. You are coming to Poland on that commonwealth trip yes?” Illarij asked

“I am, so is my girlfriend. I may have put her on as my assistant” Adora said blushing

“And I take it she is not a historian or assistant at all” Illarij chuckled as they began walking

“No, she is a tattoo artist actually. But her grandmother was a prisoner nurse at Auschwitz, so she wants to see it. And it is a once in a lifetime chance to do so” Adora said

“Here take my number, if you can get me a name and any other information. I will see if I can find more for her on my side” Illarij stated pulling out a small note pad and scribbling phone number and email

“Really?” Adora asked surprised taking the slip before writing her own down and handing it all back to him

“Really. I have the ability as I am in Poland, now I must be off. An old man like me needs his mid day nap. I do hope to see you at the dinner tomorrow. Good day to you” Illarij said smiling as he walked away

*****

“Hey princess” Catra said as Adora walked into the tattoo studio

“Hey catfish, how has the day been?” Adora asked coming to sit at her table

“It has been a good day, lots of tattoo’s. And my last tattoo of the trip is at two tomorrow and it is a super easy one. So I should be done by four. When do we have to be at the dinner?” Catra asked coming to stand between her legs

“Six is when the doors open, six thirty is drinks. Seven we have to be seated then appetizers start right at seven fifteen” Adora began rattling off the memo

“Perfect, now how has your day been?” Catra asked before sneaking a quick kiss

“Good met a historian who has written almost a hundred books, and I have read everyone of them. I think you and him will get along tomorrow” Adora said gently

“Good to know, now ready princess? I am starving and I think there is a delicious hot dog place down the block” Catra said licking her lips

“Catra!” Adora said blushing understanding the inuendo

“What I am hungry? So no hot dogs? There is a taco place as well” Catra said smirking

“Oh my god” Adora said the blush taking over her face

“Is that a yes?” Catra asked

“Yes” Adora said understanding

“Good let us get some food. Night Seahawk” Catra called out before slipping her hand into Adora’s as they walked from the shop

*****

Adora watched as Catra pushed open the door to their room, they had decided on a little Vietnamese place that was down the block from the shop. She was still hot and bothered from the comments that Catra had made but she seemed to be cool as a cucumber. Catra knew what she was doing when she was saying those things to Adora, she could see the slight bulge in her pants but knew she must had tucked well if nothing else was shown. The moment they stepped in she heard the door click and Catra was on her, turning her in a minute and pinning her against the door.

“Catra” Adora panted

“You are fucking sexy, come in dressed in those tight dress pants and blouse that show off your delicious breasts. Do you know what it does to me?” Catra teased

“It makes you horny, just as much as I am. Catra please, can we do more then the past two nights? I love our kisses and cuddles but I can’t I need to cum” Adora pleaded

“Oh my sweet sweet girlfriend, I planned on making you cum tonight. I woke up horny, and you were already gone for the day. I didn’t touch myself though, so I have been sitting in soaked boxers all day. And horny as all hell” Catra said as she slowly began unbuttoning Adora’s blouse

“Please” Adora moaned

“Please what?” Catra countered smirking as the shirt fell open

“I want you” Adora said her hands reaching to clasp Catra’s waist

Catra smirked kissing the swell of her breast that was spilling out of the top of the lace cup. She had learned that Adora liked wearing bras that were just a tiny bit to small for her, so that her breasts spilled out the top of them. Catra would never argue with that fact as she reached around and popped the clasp of the bra as it fell from her body. Catra dug her dingers into her hips feeling the strong muscle as she nipped at the top of her breasts, little red marks were left in her wake. The increase of Adora’s breathing egged her on, the scream as she finally wrapped her lips around the stiffened peak of her nipple.

“Catra, fuck Catra” Adora moaned

Catra took that as permission to bite down, the nails that dug into her sides pushed her further. Releasing the one nipple she switched to the other. Allowing her hands to wander she soon was popping the button of Adora’s pants and slipping her hand into her tucking underwear. She felt the warmth of her clit and she could feel how hard she was, letting go of her nipple she looked up at the closed eyes of Adora as she bit down on the top of her breast.

“Oh my, Catra” Adora said her eyes snapping open and looking at her

“You bruise really easily, shit” Catra said looking at the bruise already forming

“It is okay, I liked it” Adora said the blush rising up her chest to her neck

“Good to know, I think we found a kink” Catra smirked

“I think so” Adora said truthfully

“That is good, I have that kink as well. I like when you bite me hard enough that it is raised and bruised. And if you do it on open skin, which really is only right on the crook of my neck because I left it that way I want you to break skin. Only if you feel comfortable doing so” Catra said looking up at her

“Yes” Adora said nodding

“Good girl” Catra smirked

“Get out of those tight clothes” Catra said stepping back

“Yes ma’am” Adora said without thinking

“Prefer sir if you are using it in that context” Catra countered smirking

“Oh my, I mean. Maybe? At some point we can try” Adora said blushing as she began pulling her pants and underwear off

“All in good time, now are you okay with me touching you?” Catra asked as she slowly pulled her shirt off before tossing the sports bra onto the floor

“I am, anything you want. I want anything and everything” Adora said laying back on the bed her hard click laying on her stomach

“You are so hard for me, look at that clit” Catra said softly as she pulled her jeans off before hooking her fingers in her boxers and slipping them from her body a trail of arousal following them

“You really are horny” Adora said watching

“I am. So anything and everything?” Catra asked again

“Yes” Adora said nodding

“Good girl, lay back then and let me make you feel good” Catra said knowing what she would do

Adora watched as Catra climbed up onto the bed, moving between her open legs as she ran her calloused hands along her thighs. Adora felt her clit twitch as she did that, precum leaking onto her stomach in larger quantities then she had ever seen before. Catra ran her hand up to the crux of her hip before grasping Adora’s weeping clit, the intake of breath from Adora always made her heart skip a beat. Throwing her leg over Adora’s one leg she moved up until she could throw her other leg over so she now straddled her hips, Adora watched wide eyes as Catra positioned her hard clit against her soaked slit and waited.

“Oh my” Adora said her hands coming to rest on Catra’s waist

“Feel good pretty lady? I know it feels good to me, really good” Catra said rocking her hips

“This is amazing, oh god. Wow. You are so soft, and warm and wet and do that again” Adora mumbled as Catra moved her hips so that the head of her clit was nestled between her folds

“You like that? You like being so close to the ultimate prize don’t you? I felt that twitch, you liked that thought didn’t you? You want to bury yourself inside me” Catra teased lowly

“Yes, I want it” Adora said mouth hanging open as she watched Catra

“Then do it. Take that hard clit of yours and line it up” Catra pushed watching her reaction

“Really?” Adora said her hand already moving slowly

“Really” Catra said as she felt Adora’s hand slip into the patch of hair before she tugged

“Fuck” Catra groaned

“Found another kink” Adora said smirking

“Yes I may like having my hair pulled, whether it is on my head or on my mound” Catra said truthfully

“Good to know, so if I do this?” Adora asked getting more confident as she pulled harder

“Yes” Catra moaned as she fell forward her hands now resting on Adora’s chest

“I like making you loose control” Adora said truthfully

“Good to know, now is this a yes or a no?” Catra asked

“Yes” Adora said nodding

Catra felt as Adora slipped her hand between them, grasping her clit as Catra got farther up on her knees. She could feel the tip swipe her clit before coming to rest at her entrance. A smile as she nodded to Adora before beginning to slowly sink down, it had been years since she had taken a strap and Adora was larger then any strap she had ever taken. A pat on her hand and Adora was moving it back to her waist. Catra took the time to slowly sink down, she watched Adora’s face as she took in the new feeling. Catra was amazed when she finally bottomed out, her hands resting still on Adora’s soft perfect breasts.

“So” Catra said almost out of breath already

“It is amazing” Adora almost mumbled

“Just wait” Catra said as she began to move

Catra watched Adora’s face as she moved up until just the tip was inside her before sinking down faster and harder each time. Adora’s hands tightened on her hips as she began to understand the motion, learning when to thrust up for maximum pleasure. Catra was amazing at how fast Adora had caught on as she was now doing more of the work, Catra could see an unknown look in her eye as she began to thrust harder.

“Where should I cum?” Adora managed to get out

“In me” Catra managed to get out

Adora didn’t understand what came over her but with a quick movement, Catra was now under her. The shocked expression on her face was priceless as she began thrusting her hips, the new position hitting Catra’s cervix each time. Three more thrusts and Adora was holding herself inside her as she felt spurt after spurt erupt into Catra.

“You didn’t cum” Adora panted

“It is okay, this was for you” Catra said softly pushing hair from Adora’s face

“Can I do something for you? I may not be very good at it” Adora said gently

“Go ahead princess” Catra said not knowing what was about to happen

Adora nodded before pulling herself out, she watched as her cum dripped out of Catra. Sliding down the bed she watched as Catra went wide eyed as she situated herself between her legs. She had read up on the proper way to do this so she hoped she would not disappoint. Taking a deep breath she ran her tongue along her clit, the moan that escaped Catra told her she was doing it correctly. Growing bolder she moved her tongue down scooping her cum from inside of Catra, Catra’s hands soon held her head tightly against her core. Adora continued her attack, finding no more cum she licked a strip back up to her clit before beginning to circle it. The twitching of Catra’s legs as she found the perfect speed and technique was all she needed. Catra was amazed at how quick of a learner Adora was as she felt her orgasm building, and the fact that she had just licked her own cum out of her had sent her close to the edge. The grip on her thighs as Adora dug her fingers into her skin sent her over the edge. One more swipe of Adora’s tongue and she was done, she screamed as Adora continued to run her tongue slowly along her clit until she was pushing her face away. The firm pressure of Adora’s cheek against her thigh grounded her bringing her back to the present.

“Wow” Catra said softly

“Wow is right, that was perfect. That was better then I could have ever asked for” Adora said softly

“I am glad I made you first time perfect. And the fact that you just did oral on me with your cum dripping out of me. Fuck that was hot princess” Catra said truthfully

“It was fun. I would do that again” Adora said smiling up a her

“Good, because we are doing that again and again” Catra stated

“So I should have no fear that you will leave me because I have a penis?” Adora asked truthfully

“Never. Because I am now very very fond of that clit of yours” Catra said pulling her up

“Okay good” Adora said as Catra pulled her in for a kiss

“You taste like me and a bit like you” Catra chuckled as she pulled back

“I bet I do. Could we maybe go have a bath?” Adora asked as she curled in

“Yes, and we both need to pee. No UTI’s!” Catra said kissing the top of Adora’s head

“Smart. Come on handsome” Adora said as she finally got up

“Lead the way princess” Catra said following close behind her

Chapter 27

Catra was on cloud nine, the night they had together had been the best she ever had. The bath that her and Adora took after was perfect. Adora leaned against her body allowing herself to fully relax, while Catra held her closely as she placed kiss after kiss on the top of her head. Catra was falling in love and she was more scared then she had ever expected to be. She had woken first as Adora had no tasks to do until she had to get ready, stepping into the shop she was ready to get to work.

*****

Adora stretched, she remembered Catra leaving but she allowed her body to fall back asleep after the felt the kiss that was pressed to her temple. Opening her eyes she grabbed for her phone finding a text from Catra wishing her a good day with multiple cute emoji’s. Adora was falling in love, no she was already in love and she was unsure how to take it. Sliding from bed she found work out clothes before making her way out of the room and towards the gym. The best kind of day was started with intense cardio, stepping on the treadmill she began her work out. She spent two hours in the gym, a audiobook playing in her ears and she was content. She had few plans for the day, other then popping by the shop to bring Catra lunch at some point so her shower was long and relaxing before she pulled on jeans and a sweater as well as a toque as light snow was falling but the temperature was only a few degrees before zero.

Her walk around seventeenth was easy she followed her phone as it directed her towards a large park with fountains and statues. She knew of the park but she had never set foot in there until that moment, the park was Central Memorial Park. It was a memorial to those from Calgary who fought in the wars, large statues depicting the dates of the wars as well as a eternal flame flickered as the light snow fell. Running her hand along each monument she listened as a group of students were walking around being instructed by their teacher. She listened as students began asking questions all of which the teacher answered before being asked a question that stumped them.

“Can I speak? I am a historian actually” Adora said walking towards them

“Are you really? A women as a historian?” A younger women asked amazed

“I am, and a doctor of military history as well” Adora said watching the girls eyes grow big

“By all means” The teacher stated

Adora began answered the first question that then became another and another, Adora always enjoyed instructing and teaching. She would never want to be a professor, but she was happy to speak to groups at her museum and sometimes at universities. She spoke for another half an hour before the students had to begin making their way back to their school. She could tell by the look on the one girls face that she had just found what she wanted to do for her career. Making her way back towards the shop she stopped into a small shawarma place ordering their lunch before stepping into the shop.

“Hey princess” Catra said looking up from the counter

“Hey handsome, did I pick a good time?” Adora asked

“You did, come on back to the staff area. Then we can eat” Catra said motioning her to follow

“You sure?” Adora asked worried as she followed

“It is fine, go with her” Seahawk called form his station

“Oh that smells good” Catra said as they slipped into the back room

“I hope you like it, I made it the way you mentioned that one time a while back” Adora said chuckling

“The fact that you remembered what I like from an offhand comment” Catra said blushing

“I remember everything you say for your likes and dislikes” Adora said blushing

“You are wonderful, how do you feel?” Catra asked

“After last night?” Adora asked biting into her food

“Yeah” Catra said softly

“I feel good, how you do feel? It was more of a stretch for you” Adora said blushing at her comment

“Stretch? That was all the puns intended. I am a little sore but that is to be expected, the more we do it the more my body will be use to it. And the more that happens the rougher we can be” Catra said so easily

“You want it rougher?” Adora said blushing

“I do, I enjoyed when you lost control at the end and pinned me. while you took what you wanted” Catra said truthfully

“I enjoyed it to” Adora said getting redder

“Found a kink” Catra said playfully

“We are finding lots of kinks” Adora said as she finished her food

“We are, but that is good. That is a proper relationship” Catra said inhaling the rest of her food before reaching to grab Adora’s hand

“We can figure more out in Banff” Adora said nervously

“Oh very much so. We will have a very large amount of fun figuring out all your kinks” Catra said flashing a mischievous smile

“We will have a lot of fun doing that” Adora said more confidently

“Catra your next appointment is here” Seahawk stated sticking his head in the door

“Perfect, I will be out in a moment” Catra called back

“I will leave you be” Adora said watching her gather the garbage

“I will see you in a few hours” Catra said placing a quick kiss on her cheek

“See you in a few hours handsome” Adora said as they slipped into the main tattooing area

*****

“Are you sure this is okay?” Catra asked as they pulled into the parking lot

“I am sure, you are incredibly handsome and sexy” Adora said squeezing her leg

“I just don’t want to dissapoint you” Catra said truthfully

“You could never disappoint me, why would you think that?” Adora asked confused as they parked

“Because we are going to a massive event for your job, with a very specific type of person. I am not like anyone else in there” Catra said playing with a string on her jacket

“You are not like anyone else there, you are better. You are my partner, you may not be a historian but you hold yourself to just a high of a standard” Adora said softly

“Thank you princess” Catra said leaning over to kiss her gently

Catra slipped from the car quickly, coming around the side as she opened the door as he helped Adora from the car. She had a hard time no staring at Adora, she was not in a dress but instead a white pant suit with a red blouse that was open just past the swell of her breasts. The gold jewelry she wore with it as well as the golden buttons that held the jacket closed glinted in the light. She wore red high heels making her even taller then she was and it was perfect, the stupid little quaff in her hair was ever present but her hair hung loose down her back. Catra took a deep breath as she pushed the buttons through the holes on her jacket, she was matching her somewhat. Black suit with a red shirt that matched her shirt, the top buttons were open allowing her tattoos to be seen. She had debated what she was going to wear on her chest and Adora had watched as she debated until she decided on tape. To her if she was wearing a suit like this she wanted the flatness of her chest allowing more of her tattoos to be seen. She had swapped out her silver piercings for gold so that she could match Adora in as many ways as possible. Looking over she saw Adora watching her pure care on her face as Catra reached over grabbing her hand and leading them towards the event center.

“Name?” The man asked as they got to the front

“Dr. Adora Grayskull” Adora stated

“And hers?” The man asked eyeing Catra

“Catra Horde” Adora answered

“Here is your badges. Drinks are free, and are to your left. Washrooms are to your right and straight through the doors in the center is the main reception area” The man stated as they clipped the badges onto their jackets

“Drink?” Adora asked

“Sounds good” Catra said watching the people watch them walk in

“Dr. Grayskull welcome” The head of the conference stated as Adora stopped near the bar as Catra continued on

“Thank you, this is a wonderful venue for this event” Adora said kindly

“We are very glad to have you attending this conference. To have a young female doctor in this industry is rare, and to have one who is so passionate for what she does and to be the head historian of our largest military museum in the country. It is remarkable” The head of the conference stated

“I appreciate your praise. I am proud to be the head historian at my age” Adora said watching as Catra began walking towards them

“May I help you? You look lost” The head of the conference stated looking at Catra

“Nope, I am in the correct spot” Catra said handing the glass of wine to Adora

“This is my girlfriend, Catra” Adora said introducing her

“I am very sorry, I did not mean” The head of the conference started

“It is fine, I get it a lot because of how I look” Catra said shrugging as the head of the conference went red

“I should not have judged. I should get going” The head of the conference stated before turning away

“He tucked his tail between his legs quickly” Illarij stated coming to a stop in front of them

“That is common when people realize I am in the proper place, it is because of how I look” Catra said looking at the man

“You must be Catarina, Adora’s girlfriend then” Illarij stated

“I am, and you are?” Catra asked

“Dr. Illarij Zenowski, I am a historian from Poland” Illarij said introducing himself

Adora watched as Catra took a sip of her beer before smiling widely as she began speaking rapidly in Polish. She knew she could speak it but she never realized how fluently she could, she looked at Illarij who looked at her stunned for a moment before beginning a rapid conversation with her. She did not know what they were saying but the way that Catra spoke made her proud of her, a moment later she watched as Catra was undoing her jacket before slipping it off and handing it over before pulling up her sleeve and showing the tattoo on her arm. She could see others beginning to come and stand around as they continued to talk, some understanding what was being said but others were just standing and watching this heavily tattooed women speak so loudly and confidently.

“I am so sorry” Catra said looking over to Adora realizing she had kept her out

“It is fine. I never realized you spoke it so well, and I am enjoying listening to you speak” Adora said handing her jacket back

“Did your lovely girlfriend ask you about your grandmother?” Illarij asked as they began walking together

“No, I forgot” Adora said blushing

“That is allowed. I wish to see if I can find out more information for you” Illarij asked

“Oh, please” Catra said looking around for a piece of paper

Catra soon found what she was looking for, a piece of scrap paper sitting on a random desk as Illarij handed her a pen. Soon the paper was being handed over with all the information that she had on her grandmother, Illarij soon was heading off towards his own table as they made their way towards theirs.

“When you speak Polish, it is incredibly beautiful” Adora said as they found their seats

“I am glad you think so, I bet it is the same when you speak German” Catra countered as she pulled out the chair for her

“Yes and no. Mine is good I understand it and speak it well but it is still with an accent, but you it is different. You speak it with no accent” Adora explained as she sat watched her sit down

“Well it was what was spoken in the house growing up, English with my mother. Well broken English most of the time, as she was either drink or high so it was hard to understand her. Then my grandmother spoke English and Polish as his parents were immigrants right after the first world war. So he spoke both, so I spoke both at home as a child and teenager” Catra explained sipping her beer again

“Catra...” Adora said not knowing what to say

“It is okay, I am past the sad parts. Shit happens, she did nothing for me other then birth me” Catra said shrugging as others came to the table

“I am glad that she did one thing right” Adora said softly as Catra slipped her hand onto her lap as they began introductions

Catra was surprised with how good the food was, plate after plate of appetizers were brought out before the main dinner was served. She listened as the historian's spoke together, she kept her hand on Adora’s leg as they talked. She knew they were watching her and silently judging her but Adora shut down any remarks quickly if they got out of hand. Dinner soon came and went, every once and a while she added something into the conversation but instead she listened.

“Are you okay?” Adora finally asked as a speaker came to the stage

“It is odd, this is not something I ever expected to be involved in” Catra said looking around

“I know, I am glad you are so willing to come into my world” Adora said blushing

“I would go into your world again and again” Catra said as the tapping of the microphone

Catra watched Adora grab her hand before turning slightly to look up to the stage, she was surprised that they did awards but at the same time it made sense. She listened as an award for the most important discovery was announced, before another one in regards to books. She listened partially as she began to focus on Adora more, before she was finally brought back to the awards as loud clapping was heard.

“Very good, now for the final award of the night. The award for the most prominent new historians, those who have shown what it means to be an historian and pushes themselves to continue doing what we the older generation have done for years. Today we award Dr. Adora Grayskull, she has shown what it means to be a historian. She has gone from graduating with her PHD to a junior historian to a full historian to the head historian of the national war museum in under eight months. Please congratulate her on this achievement” The head of the conference called out

“Go princess” Catra said watching Adora stare at the stage her mouth hanging open

“Me?” Adora said

“You, now go” Catra said as she finally stood

Catra watched as she made her way to the stage, she could tell she was surprised and out of place as she stood accepting the award. She looked petrified to be in front of all these other people, but she looked happy as she held the plaque. Catra knew in that moment she was never letting her go, and that she was falling in love with this women who she had only known for a short time.

Chapter 28

Catra woke warm and content, Adora’s soft muscled back was pressed into her chest. They had arrived back to the hotel late into the evening, the award that Adora won was sitting on the dresser across from them. The gentle kisses that were shared between them as they curled into each other as they got comfortable and began to fall into a peaceful sleep. She felt Adora’s butt push back into her own crotch as a small sigh escaped her.

“You are so warm” Adora mumbled

“I know, I am a furnace. And you are always cold” Catra chuckled

“I know perfect for each other. What time is it?” Adora mumbled as she flipped so she now faced Catra

“Close to ten, we have to be out of here by eleven” Catra said placing a gentle kiss on her nose

“I am so glad we packed already” Adora said snuggling in closer to Catra

“Adora love, you can’t fall back asleep” Catra said playfully tickling her sides

“Hey hey okay okay, I am awake” Adora giggled

“I know you are, I can feel it” Catra said running her hand along her side to her hip

“Oh I am” Adora said blushing realizing what Catra meant

“Can I?” Catra asked

“I thought we had to get up?” Adora countered as Catra ran her fingers along the bulge in her sleeping shorts

“We do, but you can cum quickly. Then we can get on our way, you deserve it after wining last night” Catra said pulling the shorts down under her balls

“So hard for me already” Catra said softly as she placed a kiss on Adora’s neck

“Fuck” Adora murmured

“So soft and so hard all at once, oh the feeling of your foreskin moving over your head. You love that don't you?” Catra asked playfully

“Yes, please” Adora begged

“Okay princess okay” Catra said softly as she wrapped her hand fully around her clit before beginning to move

Catra loved the sounds and movements that Adora made as she slowly moved her hands up and down her clit. The way her precum soaked her hand and allowed the movement to be easy and perfect. She felt Adora grasping at her pulling her closer as Adora pushed her face into her neck. She could feel her panting already, tightening her grip she moved just a little faster running her thumb over her head with each upstroke. She had not expected to feel teeth digging into her neck but the moment that Adora bit down in that non tattooed space she felt her twitch as she came. Catra felt her hand being covered as Adora bit down even harder before slowly letting go.

“Wow” Adora said leaning her head back

“Wow is right, you are good with your teeth” Catra said playfully as she leaned over to kiss her as she pulled her hand up as Adora grabbed it and began to gently lick it clean

“That is fucking hot” Catra said watching her

“I enjoy doing it” Adora said softly

“You are amazing. Now are you wanting to shower?” Catra asked

“Please, you coming with me?” Adora countered

“You know it” Catra said gently as they slipped from the bed

*****

They were checked out before eleven, slipping into the SUV and off to find one last Tim Horton’s before heading on the trans Canada highway. The drive was calm, the mountains coming into view quickly. They chatted about the most random things, the little things that they were still learning about each other. Catra kept her hand on Adora’s thigh the whole trip, slow easy circles on her knee was calming to both of them.

“Oh look!” Adora said pointing at the big horn sheep

“Look at those horns, look at that one! Even bigger horns on that one!” Catra said moving her hand off Adora’s knee to point at the other one

“Could say he is a little horny?” Adora said jokingly

“Oh god no, that was the worst joke you have said since I met you!” Catra said shaking her head and rolling her eyes as she focused on the road again

“It was a good one!” Adora countered playfully

“All that is horny is you, under the covers with my hand on your clit beautiful” Catra said sneaking a glance at Adora whose face was reddening by the second

“Cat got your tongue?” Catra asked playfully

“You could have my tongue” Adora teased

“I do like that tongue of yours. Absolutely amazing for someone who has never had sex before” Catra said placing her hand on her thigh once more

“You are just saying that” Adora said shaking her head as she watched the trees pass by as they climbed the mountain

“Nope, it is true. You and that tongue are amazing. I have slept with women who have had years and years of experience and they cannot use their tongue like you do” Catra stated squeezing her leg in a calming manner

“That makes me feel good, I want to please you and I want to learn” Adora said taking Catra’s hand in hers and squeezing it

“I am excited to teach you, and have you learn princess” Catra said as they relaxed into the rest of the drive

*****

Adora looked around as they stepped into the grand hotel, this was something she would not change about her trip. She had always wanted to stay in this large haunted hotel but while in university she did not have the money to do so, so now because she had the money this was her first massive purchase. She was amazed with the hotel, she had been in it before but never to stay. She felt herself being guided towards the front desk, they had kept Catra’s booking so she was the one talking away with the gentleman at the reception desk. Their Id’s soon were handed over before two room keys and directions of where to park.

“Go up first or do you just want to grab our things and park the car and then head up?” Catra asked as they stepped away from the desk

“Let us get that then, then maybe we can go do some shopping?” Adora asked hopefully

“Deal” Catra said agreeing immediately

The walk to the car was quick, before Adora began instructing Catra where to park before they were stepping out and grabbing their things. Once more in the hotel they were finding their way towards the elevator before making their way up to the tenth floor. Stepping into the hallway and making their way to their room, a swipe of their card and they were stepping into their room. The room had one king, with a large bathroom that held both a walk in shower and a large tub. Catra watched as Adora made her way to the window as she threw open the curtains and the views of the mountains were now in front of them.

“So beautiful” Adora said softly looking out the window

“I agree” Catra said looking at Adora instead of the mountains

“I feel your eyes on me, you are supposed to be looking at the beautiful scenery” Adora said turning to look at her

“But I am looking at the beautiful scenery. The most beautiful scenery, one I would not give up for anything in the world” Catra said

“Catra” Adora said blushing as Catra walked towards her

“Yes?” Catra asked as she stopped in front of her

“You say these things as though they are the most true things in the world” Adora said shaking her head

“But they are the most true things in the world” Catra said reaching up

Adora felt Catra’s hand slip around the back of her neck, the firm pressure of her hand made Adora gasp as she was moved in a way she had only dreamed of. Adora felt her Catra’s lips touch hers, moments later Catra’s hand was threaded through her hair holding her in place. Her hands were grasping at the sweater that Catra wore, stepping closer she felt the pain and sting of a bite. Adora groaned loudly as Catra took that chance to slip her tongue into her mouth, this was something she loved as she felt Catra’s tongue fight with her own. Catra pulled back as she held Adora’s head against hers as she breathed heavily.

“How early is to early when you know someone is the one?” Adora asked her hands still clutching Catra’s sweater

“No such thing as to early, because everyone is different. I know that because I have found the one” Catra answered watching Adora’s eyes widen

“Me to” Adora said as she heard the intake of breath from Catra as her hand squeezed just a little harder
