2024-10-29 19:42:56Laurie is quick to notice Kate's reaction and promptly grabs her face in her hands, forcing Kate to look at her and not the dresser on the other side of the room. Even as she does, the brunette's gaze is fixed on the spot just to the left of Laurie's face.
"Kate, I need you to look at me." Laurie urges.Kate was trying her best to take deep calming breaths but because Laurie was so close, she was all Kate could hone in on. It was the same intoxicating scent of vanilla, and what she had come to know as lavender, that she associated with her mate. But it was mixed with a sort of citrus and pine smell that Kate knew was from Laurie's friends.Of course, in her admittedly irrational state, that only served to unsettle her more.Kate complies with the request though, jaw clenching and teeth grinding as she struggles to keep her cool. She could never deny Laurie of anything but was painfully aware of her mate comfortably perched on her lap as if she h

Upon hearing her mate's consent, Kate slowly let one hand trail down to Laurie's waist while the other moved to cup the side of her neck, gently coaxing her to tilt her head back. For a split second, Kate thought about how it would feel to sink her teeth into the pale expanse of her mate's neck and mark her. She quickly shook herself from the thought and started to slowly project her scent onto Laurie.She gently brushed her face against Laurie's neck, taking note of how the hands on her lower back tightened their hold. She took her time with that spot before moving to the other side, letting out a quiet groan as one of Laurie's hands moved to slide through her hair. Kate was holding very little back at this point and Laurie's responsiveness was only encouraging her to keep going. All she could think about now was making sure her scent covered Laurie completely, or at least enough that no one would ever question who she was to Kate.If she couldn't claim Laurie, this would do for now.

Kate froze for a second, not quite ready to hear those specific words come out of Laurie’s mouth. “Kiss me.” Laurie repeats, this time sounding more like a demand as she tries again to pull Kate closer, weaving her hand through her hair.Kate snaps out of her shock and allows herself to be pulled in, stopping just a hair's breadth away from Laurie’s lips. Kate wanted to kiss her so badly, but She just didn’t know how she would react once she did. Kate wasn’t sure she’d be able to stop.“Kiss me.” Laurie whispers against her lips and she does, her resolve breaking as she closes the distance between them and meets Laurie in a soft, almost chaste kiss. Kate leans back just a little only to be pulled back into a deeper kiss, this time being kept in place by Laurie’s hand.Kate lets out a low growl as she feels Laurie tug on her hair as the kiss gets more heated. Laurie takes her bottom lip between her teeth and tugs playfully, pulling Kate even closer. The hand on Laurie’s thigh inches h

Laurie nods, placing soft kisses on Kate's temple. "Yes, you feel so good."Kate rocks her hips forward, letting out a shuddering breath as her mates center grinds against her thigh. Laurie let out a sinful sound at the contact."Laurie are you-" "If you ask me if I'm sure one more time, I'm going to walk out of here." Laurie threatens before promptly pulling Kate back down for a kiss. Kate repeats the motion harder this time, moaning in surprise as she feels Laurie move her leg, her thigh putting a delicious pressure on Kate's center."Don't stop." Laurie gasps, tucking her face into Kate's neck. Kate nods against her, breathing heavily as she starts to grind her hips down at a steady pace. She feels Laurie's hold tighten and can't help the growl that escapes her lips as the smaller blonde bites down on her shoulder. Everything felt so good, Kate was working her body so well, her hands and lips were everywhere, kissing and biting and grabbing at all the right places. Laurie wasn

The front porch creaks as the weight of the heavy box lands on the old wood. Laurie looks up with a heavy sigh as she looks the house over, taking stock of all the repairs that would need to be done. The overall structure was fine, but the house itself was old and even she had to admit it looked straight out of a horror movie at night. The windows needed a good cleaning, the paint around the structure was worn and peeling, and the wood was old, not dangerously old but old enough to warrant a once over by a professional.Of course, if the circumstances had been different, she would have purchased a newer house. A better house. One with less sentiment attached to it. But Laurie couldn't. This house was the last thing she had left of her family. An inheritance that should have gone to her sister, Dana had she not died with the rest of her family.It has been a month now. A month since the accident had ripped Laurie's family

“So, is this your house?” Kate gestures towards a house that was definitely not Laurie’s. They had been walking for the better part of an hour and this was the third house Kate had shown her. Not that Kate had anything to go on really. Laurie’s instructions of “over there, I think” or “that tree looks familiar” was probably no help at all.Laurie sighs. “Nope.” It was dark, she was getting really cold and quite frankly, the woods were starting to freak her out a little.“Are you sure it wasn’t the last one?”“Yes I’m sure, I know my house.”“Well, you did just move.” Kate gets a glare for that one.

Kate had woken up feeling uneasy. She had slept on the couch, having given her room to Laurie. She didn't mind but had found herself resisting the urge to sit outside the door of her room just to watch over her. It was an instinctual thing. Her kind was protective of their mates and seeing as she had just found hers and Laurie was human, that protective instinct was multiplied tenfold. Logically, she knew Laurie was fine, she was sleeping in her room for god's sake, but she couldn't help how she felt. Kate glanced at the clock she had on top of the fireplace mantle. 9:57 am. It had only been a few hours since they had gotten back. Their search for Laurie's house had been a bust but she wasn't too sad about it seeing as the other woman was now sleeping in her room. Wearing her clothes. Kate was practically preening at the thought. She hadn't gotten much sleep though. The sheer knowledge that Laurie was in the other room was enough to keep her up. Kate hadn't put much

It had been a little over a month since Laurie had moved into her new home. Over a month since she'd met Kate. She had stayed with Kate another day before her fever broke and she had taken her home and every day since Kate had come to visit.At first, it had just been to talk and help Laurie unpack. But a few days in, she had taken to fixing things. And by things she meant damn near everything in her house.It started with small things like oiling a door hinge and helping assemble a shelf. Then two weeks ago Laurie had gotten back from the grocery store to find Kate on her roof, fixing a leak she had been complaining about for days and nearly giving her a heart attack. The irony wasn't lost on her.A few days after that, she had helped Laurie paint some of the rooms, and the day after, she helped Laurie fix the sink. Alright, Kate fixed the sink, she sat there and handed her whatever she asked for. At this point, Laurie wouldn't need to hire an

Laurie opens the door and walks into her house, heading towards the kitchen with Kate following close behind. "You know where I keep 'em. I'm just gonna get in the shower real quick." Laurie says before making her way up the stairs. Kate had spent enough time in Laurie's house to know where everything was and her mate had never shown signs of being uncomfortable with her in her space so Kate had gotten comfortable moving around. She made her way around Laurie's kitchen, grabbing a muffin from the jar Laurie had kept out in the middle of the island and moving to start making coffee for them, taking bites out of the muffin as she went. Kate was highly impressed with Laurie's creations and was only too happy to be her 'test subject' of sorts. Her mate loved to bake. She was damn good and Kate was not shy about showing it. She had given Kate a batch of cookies to take home and Kate had made the mistake of bringing them over to Iris and Nate's

Kate searched Laurie's face for any sign of doubt or fear, only to find none at all. Laurie looked at her with trusting eyes and Kate was thrown for a loop. "Laurie, I wasn't serious. I don't have to do that. I'll be fine." Kate says, shifting so she was now leaning on her elbow, still facing the smaller blonde. Of course, she didn't know how she would handle everything she was feeling at the moment, but she would figure it out. Laurie had just started to show acceptance and actual desire to be with her, she would not risk any of that for something as trivial as being annoyed by her scent. Even if it was killing her inside."But if it'll help you then I don't see why not." Laurie insisted, straightening up so she was now sitting as she talked. "Kate, I'm not blind. I can see this is bothering you, just let me help. Please." Kate didn't know how much longer she could put up with this. She could see that Laurie was serious and there was nothing but sincerity in the

Laurie felt the rumble on Kate's chest and leaned back to look at her, using her elbow for support. "Hey, what's wrong?" She asks, noticing Kate's shift in mood.Kate does her best to appear calmer than she's actually feeling. "Nothing. It's nothing.""It's something if you're all growly," Laurie says eyebrow raised. She could tell something was bothering the woman and she wasn't going to let up until she found out what it was. As much as she appreciated it, she was tired of having Kate make herself feel bad trying to make her comfortable. It was her turn now, to make sure Kate was okay."It's nothing. Everything's fine." Kate tries to reassure Laurie. Although, it felt more like she was telling herself. She was feeling a mix of emotions and she wasn't quite sure how to handle it.Kate didn't think something as simple as Laurie's scent being slightly different would bother her so much, b

Kate wakes slowly, shifting a little as she feels a weight laying on top of her and frowning as she is unable to move her left arm properly. She opens her eyes and is met with a face full of blonde hair. A smile makes its way on her lips as she remembers what or rather who that weight was.Laurie was still asleep. Practically on top of Kate now, having drifted closer in her sleep. She had one arm tucked under herself while the other was wrapped around Kate, her hand holding Kate's shirt in a tight grip. Her face was still tucked in Kate's neck, sleeping soundly as the other woman slowly started to wake up.Kate reaches up with her free hand, removing it from its place around her mate's waist to gently smooth her hair down, feeling slightly amused as Laurie barely even twitched as she did. She must have been exhausted.Kate craned her neck a little to look at the clock on her bedside table, careful not to jos

Laurie was inspecting Kate, trying to see if there were any other physical signs that she was in any kind of pain. Other than the bags under her eyes and the tired way she seemed to move.Kate, in turn, was simply looking at Laurie, trying to see if she could read anything about what the shorter woman would do or say. Surely having Laurie come to her was a good thing. She didn't think Laurie would come over if she wasn't at least ready to talk.A small smile makes its way onto Laurie's lips as she sees Kate stifle a yawn."Sorry, I'm just a little-""Tired. I know." Laurie cuts her off, standing from her place on the chair. "Why don't you go get some sleep. We can talk later.""No no, it's fine. It's only 3 o'clock, I'm not tired." Kate stands, panicking a little at the thought of Laurie leaving and trying to shake off her tiredness, not wanting Laurie to go. Having

Iris took a quick moment to think about what it was that she could say. On one hand, Kate probably didn't want her to tell Laurie about what she was going through for fear of influencing her decision. But on the other hand, Iris knew telling Laurie would do no harm. She should have been told in the first place and with the way both women were acting, all of this would only end in one way. It looked to her like Laurie had already made up her mind; whether she knew it or not."No. She's not okay." Iris sighs.Laurie straightens up in her seat, suddenly feeling an overwhelming amount of worry at the thought of Kate being hurt in any way. "What happened? She was fine the last time I saw her.""This thing you guys are doing, not seeing each other, it's taking a toll on her," Iris says, shifting to move her seat closer to Laurie who was listening to her with rapt attention. "I don't know why but it's not good for
