"..Bomba?"
Demeter approached the familar figure.
She stumbled slightly and looked up at the cold face that met her own.
"What are you doing here?", she asked, her voice matching the cold air around them.
That snapped Demeter back to attention, and she scrambled for a decent answer and an indifferent tone of voice.
"Figure I gotta keep an eye on you, 'Rina. Who knows whose heart you're likely to rip out next, huh?"
Bombalurina flinched visibly at that, and Demeter regreted it the moment it left her mouth..for a moment.
She snapped out of it and touched her forehead, woozy from the catnip she had been using earlier on.
It was a blur to her.
Anger.
Sadness.
Hope.
Love.
Lust.
All rolled into one deadly combination.
She tried to make amends by hurriedly adding, "Actually, I just saw you standing here, and thought you...might know..where to find..."
Demeter grimaced.
Dammit, I'm still strung up and I can't think of anybody else...
"Mungojerrie!!"
"Mungojerrie? Demeter...."
"Uh...Um.."
Bombalurina's eyes wideed, and she almost looked hurt, but then she looked at Demeter for a long moment in that way she had, and her gaze softened.
"Bomba...."
She lowered the golden Queen gently to the ground, her lips so close to Demeter's.
"Dema...You were never good at lying.."
Demeter smiled slightly and furrowed her brow.
"No reason to lie..I..."
"Yes?"
"Oh, nothing...Munkustrap left me..."
"He did?"
"Yeah..That bloody bast-...Well, anyway, he said that.."
"Mhmm...?"
"..He..He...He..wanted Jellylorum..."
"Jelly?"
"Yeah. But, it's cool..He isn't for me.."
"Who is?"
"What do you care?"
"Dem.."
"Ever since you hooked up with Tugger, you've forgotten me..And then, before that, it was Macavity..."
Bombalurina remained silent.
"What about me?"
Demeter sighed.
"What about me?"
Bombalurina murmured a small, unaudible reply.
Demeter closed her eyes, the pain welling.
She felt something move and then Bombalurina's hands were upon her shoulders.
"I know..."
She kissed the Queen's forehead, as if in blessing.
"..And I'm truly sorry..."
She trailed her mouth down to Demeter's lips and kissed her.
She pulled away and looked at her.
"..I'm sorry."
Demeter brought her back with a wrenching tug, and her mouth moved swiftly from Bombalurina's mouth to her throat.
A gasp was heard from the red Queen, as Dem worked there, leaving a trail of bite marks.
"Mine..."
The golden Queen looks up, a smile upon her face.
"All mine..."
Bombalurina moved one hand down, wrapping around Dem's hip, and drew them closer together.
She worked a leg in-between Demeter's and began to grind there.
Demeter made a sound that might have been a chuckle if it weren't so completely a groan of pleasure.
They kissed again, their purrs growing louder.
Only when her hands had begun to migrate, toward the junction of Demeter's legs, did she sense her impatience.
Demeter moved her mouth down to Bomb's neck again, her tongue passing over the grooves left by over-eager teeth a few moments ago, and down further across the incredible white and red furred expanse, to her chest.
Bombalurina cried out, her back now bowing.
Her legs moved, wraping around Dem, and they were hit with an electric shock of lust.
Demeter brought one leg on top of Bombalurina's, smiling at her.
She moved, slowly at first, her breath short and panty.
Then, she lowered her mouth to reclaim her lover's breast and another pained, pleasure-filled noise is heard from her mouth.
Their bodies began to move quicker, almost of their own volition.. though greatly encouraged by the firm, erratic hands that clung on their hips, demanding, setting a rhythm.
Bomb clung to her arms, which are rigid.
Demeter propped herself up above Bombalurina, as she rises up to meet her.
Demeter closes her eyes.
The blur of their love was all around her and she felt dizzy.
As Demeter opens her eyes, she sees Bombalurina and grins.
Bomb laughed huskily as she shook her head.
"That was good..."
"We should do it more often..."
"Afraid not, Demi-Dem... I have a reputation to think of, you know...What with Tugger and all..."
Demeter let long-suffering sigh.
"To hell with your reputation and Tugger, babe. Shut up, and come here."
Laughter rings through the empty night air, and Demeter lowered herself back down to her lover, burrowing into her neck, and loosing herself in a lifetime of dreams.
"..I love you, sister.."
"..I know...Me too.."
"More than Tugger?"
"Of course..."
