Hurt and Comfort

Catherine’ eyes open as the clarity entered through the curtains. She slowly sat up and looked around, disoriented, clutching her throbbing head. It took her a moment to realize where she was and when she did she drew in a sharp breath. Sharing a bed with the person who won your heart made Catherine’s body react, a gentle throbbing between her legs pound almost painfully.

She pulled herself out of bed and groped her way slowly to the bathroom. Leaning both hand on the skin, she look at the mirror. God, her face was horrible. But Sara saw her last night and still shared a bed with her so it was ok right? She’d never been so close to the source of it her dream as she were and the urge to throw all caution to the wind was becoming harder and harder to resist.

“Catherine, are you okay? I felt you get out of bed and-” Sara cut herself off, averting her eyes, a blush creeping up her neck.

“Cat.”

“What?”

“Cat,” Catherine repeated, “you can call me Cat”.

“Okay, Cat.” She choked slightly on the name but managed to push it out almost naturally. They smiled at each other a moment before Sara cleared her throat. “So are you ok?”

“Yeah. I’m going to… go.”

“Come back to bed with me” Catherine looked puzzled. “Please”

Catherine gladly accepted. Sara’s smile twitched a little and she turned toward the door, not dropping the blond hand until they reached the bed. Catherine climbed into the bed and lay down, staring at the ceiling. How it was this woman made her so nervous? It was Sara. Sweet and caring Sara. She had a reputation for putting people at ease, making them feel warm and welcome. Well, she thought, two out of three wasn’t bad.

“You don’t have to hide from me anymore” Catherine jumped when Sara spoke. “Your little secret…”

“And what secret is that?”

“That deep inside your heart beat for women. For me”

“But how… How did you…”

“I watch you every day Cat. And I was waiting for you to make a move”.

“What? You… Grissom… You like him.” Catherine stammered, instantly regretting bringing him up. Even when he wasn’t actually present he was ruining everything.

“I like his brain, but I like that and more about you” Sara answered allowing her lips to brush Catherine shoulder. Catherine closed her eyes for a moment, willing herself not to lose it completely. This is what she’d waited for, what she’d wanted for so long, and now it was happening. Sara wanted her. It was almost too much to comprehend.

“But you- you’re straight, I thought. I mean you’ve- have you been with a woman?” Sara grinned at the effect of the new information.

“More than once actually; now that we sort everything out, are we really going to lay here and talk, or are you going to kiss me?” Catherine smiled from ear to ear and pressed her lips against Sara’s. Sara’s mouth immediately opened, her tongue begging for entrance to deepen the kiss, which Catherine gladly gave in.

“Hum… she tasted so sweet and warm like… strawberry” Catherine thought.

She felt Sara’s hands slide under her shirt and their lips parted long enough for the women to pull each other’s tops off. Catherine stared in awe at the sight in front of her. As many times as she’d imagined Sara topless it had never been this breathtaking.

“You’re beautiful” Catherine said into her ear, seeing the unsure at Sara’s eyes. Her tongue teased the earlobe and Sara let out a soft sigh.

Catherine moved her head down to Sara’s chest. She took one pink nipple into her mouth, swirling her tongue around it, nipping gently with her teeth. Sara arched into Catherine mouth and the older woman moved to the other breast, showing it just as much attention as the first.

Sara uncertainly moved her hands down to Catherine’s waist, cautiously slipping her fingertips under the sweatpants. Catherine adjusted her hips and put her hands over Sara’s, helping her push them down. Sara seemed to have found her courage again as she pulled down Catherine’s lacy panties as well. She stared, fixated, at Catherine’s naked sex, apparently unable to continue.

Catherine saw the admiration and love in Sara’s orbs and didn’t waste time before took charge again. She gently lowered Sara onto her back and kissed her way down the woman’s torso, feeling her shiver and squirm at her ministrations. Catherine swirled her tongue around Sara’s belly-button and came to a stop when she reached the edge of her pants. She could feel Sara’s intent stare as she slowly removed the sweatpants and thong from her body.

Sara flopped back as Catherine began kissing up her thigh and writhed as Catherine mouth hovered an inch away from her opening. She moaned as Catherine finally gave in and ran her tongue over the length of her slit. The blond could barely keep her thoughts straight as her tongue travel into Sara’s center. She moved her lips up to Sara’s clit and sucked on it gently, while slipping two fingers into her opening. Sara groaned again, shifting her hips along with Catherine’s thrusts.

Catherine sensed Sara was nearing her peak and she began to relentlessly flick her clit with her tongue, pumping her fingers harder and faster. She glanced up to see Sara, back arched, head thrown back and eyes squeezed shut. Her heavy panting and moaning suddenly stopped and her whole body tensed up and hers walls tightened around Catherine’s fingers. She didn’t stop until Sara had ridden out her orgasm entirely before hungrily lapping the juices she’d spilled.

She brought herself up to Sara’s face and kissed her gently. The younger was practically glowing with satisfaction, her face flushed and her eyes cloudy, a pleased smile plastered to her face. Catherine smiled back. She had done this. She had brought Sara to this point. She didn’t think that moment could get any better until Sara took Catherine’s hand in hers and brought her fingers to her mouth, licking off her own juices. So sexy!

Catherine suddenly found herself underneath Sara’s naked body and the world became just that much better. Just like in the dream Sara began grinding her pelvis into Catherine’s, kissing and licking every inch of flesh her mouth could reach. Catherine moaned and shifted her hips against Sara’s movement. One of Sara’s hands traveled painfully slowly down the length of Catherine’s body, down to her knee, then back up again. She ran her nails teasingly over the sensitive skin surrounding Catherine’s opening.

“Sara…” Catherine groaned in a low voice.

Sara smiled and slipped a finger into her, quickly pulling it out again. Catherine was about to protest when suddenly the finger was thrust back, moving in and out with strong, deep strokes. Catherine moaned again as Sara added another finger, and used her thumb to rub Catherine’s clit. She couldn’t stop moaning out and rocked her hips in time to the driving of Sara’s fingers.

Catherine’s skin burned and she felt her orgasm coming deep in her belly. She finally let go and began to ride it out. Sara didn’t stop her movements. Feeling that Catherine was about to start coming down from the orgasm she lowered her head and suck Catherine’s clit. Catherine screamed and threw her head back, reveling in her second orgasm. When she finally came down from high she felt Sara slip her fingers out and watched her lick them clean through hazy eyes.

“That was…that was…I’ve never…you were…wow.”

“You weren’t so bad yourself.”

“No, I wasn’t, was I?” Catherine grinned to herself, making Sara laugh. “Thank you… for rescue me and make you feel alive again”

“It was my pleasure” Sara answered touching the blond hair “Just don’t let yourself get to the bottle like that again, ok? I know how hard it is to get out of there and you sure don’t need that”

“You right. I just need you.”

“I need you too” Sara said kissing her and putting Catherine’s body against hers. They stood there just enjoying it other. No word was spoken.
