Leave your name on my heart - Ch6

Adora decided that she needed to go to the gym after seeing Catra. She was full of so much energy that she needed to spend it before she went home. Adora was buzzing with excitement about their plans for the following weekend. She didn’t know how she was going to wait a full seven days to see Catra again because that sounded like torture. She felt a little silly but she was getting really turned on from the conversation and she hoped Catra didn’t notice. At least Adora had some reading to do that would keep her occupied along with of her studies until Saturday.

Adora opened the door to their apartment and almost screamed when Glimmer was standing right inside the door.

“Glimmer! Are you trying to kill me?” Adora said, holding her gym bag against her chest like she was about to hit Glimmer with it. Glimmer looked at Adora’s battle ready stance before she snorted.

“Sorry, I just didn’t want you to hide from me so I couldn’t ask about your date,” Glimmer said, rolling her eyes as she stepped aside to let Adora into their apartment.

“It wasn’t a date,” Adora grumbled as she walked past Glimmer into the house and Glimmer mocked her by mimicking her words in a silly voice. Adora rolled her eyes and threw her gym bag onto the couch.

“Tell me how it went! Are those cupcakes?” Glimmer asked and Adora handed her the container, which she promptly opened with excitement.

“Yeah, Catra made them. It was good, we got ice cream and walked around the park for a while, and I went to the gym,” Adora said, which was all true.

“That's it? Aw, she made you treats?” Glimmer asked, raising an eyebrow before she ate a cupcake and looked delighted by the flavour. Adora grabbed one from the open container and ate it as an excuse to delay responding.

“Yep,” less true, she didn’t want to tell Glimmer about going back to Catra’s house because Glimmer would make a big deal out of it when it wasn’t. They just needed privacy to talk about something so personal, but not sexual.

“How long were you at the gym?” Glimmer asked suspiciously and Adora shrugged.

“A while, coach gave me a new plan last week so I was feeling it out,” also true, but it didn’t take that long.

“Did she ask you out again?” Glimmer asked unconvinced as she set to lick the icing off another cupcake. “These are really good,”

“No,” They weren’t going out, “I’m sure she will tell me if she wants to hang out again,” Adora said with a shrug, trying to be casual when inside she was feeling anything but casual about Catra. Glimmer would tease her if she knew how invested Adora already was. Glimmer has been there for all Adora’s failed relationships, or situationships since high school and Adora always, always, came on too strong and scared them off. Adora planned to be as casual as possible so she didn’t scare Catra away like all the rest.

“Why are you like this, I wanted something juicy,” Glimmer said and Adora shrugged. Glimmer would love to hear the truth but Adora wouldn’t hear the end of it. She wasn’t keeping it from Glimmer because she wouldn’t understand but because she would overreact.

“Sorry Glim, nothing to report,” Adora said, grabbing her gym bag and another cupcake before she went into her room. She accepted that the cupcakes would be gone by the time she emerged again, but at least she got a few before Bow and Glimmer ate them all. Glimmer pouted but allowed Adora to lock herself in her room for the night. Adora showered after the gym so she settled at her desk to study.

She placed the cupcake on her desk with a warmth in her chest at the thoughtfulness of the treat. Catra was such a sweet friend. Adora wasn’t going to overthink this kind gesture at all. She could do casual.

Adora’s usual weekly trip to her dad's house was overshadowed by her very stressful upcoming test. If he hadn’t finished fixing her car and she didn’t need it back to get to work in the future, then she probably would have rescheduled catching up till next week.

To say Adora was high strung was an understatement. She was studying non-stop for her test on Friday, going to the gym for her new training regime and trying to find time to read what Catra had sent her.

Adora had already read everything once, but there was a certain level of comfort she got from the words Catra wrote for her to explain things and Adora re-read it often to help her relax when she was stressed. She read it on the train ride to visit her dad even though it made her blush non stop for the whole ride. Anything that helped her relax couldn’t be bad right?

“Hey Kiddo!” Randor greeted Adora as she walked up the driveway. He had her car pulled out of the shed for her to take home and Adora hugged him tightly in gratitude. Her car was a red old ford ute that the paint was peeling and it had a constantly dusty quality despite how often it was cleaned. It used to belong to her grandad and now it was practically a family heirloom.

“Hey Dad, thanks for this,” Adora said, smiling brightly in relief that she would have her car again. Now if she missed her alarm and overslept she could take her car to class and just pay the parking fee.

“No trouble, I’m happy to help,” her dad said with an easy nod.

“This is a huge help, Glimmer won't be working Saturday mornings with me soon so it will save me from walking to work in the dark,” Adora said jokingly and her father frowned with concern.

“I’m sure she would let you drive her car if you needed it,” Randor said and Adora shrugged.

“No, she made it very clear she doesn’t want that. She says I drive it like I’m driving a truck but her car is much smaller,” Adora said, rolling her eyes.

“Ah well, it's fixed now. At least the old cars are simple to repair, not like these fancy new computer cars,” Randor said, showing his age. “Come inside, I have something to show you,” Adora nodded and followed her dad into the kitchen to see papers all over the table and dinner on the stove.

“You remember what I said about mum's house getting fixed up and sold?” Randor said and Adora’s stomach dropped at the reminder that her grandmother's house would be gone soon. That she couldn’t visit anymore when she was feeling homesick. She felt tears prickle at the back of her eyes but pushed the feeling away, her dad was already emotional about this, so she couldn’t fall apart.

“Yeah, what needs to be done?” she said, looking at the pictures on the table, some of them were old in black and white. Grandma Razz had that house for her whole life.

“Just a few things mum didn’t want to fix, she said it gave the place character,” Randor said and rolled his eyes with an affectionate smile for Razz. The house was full of character, and Adora hoped her dad didn’t intend to take it all away.

“Can’t the new owners do that stuff?”

“Some of it, but some stuff, like the leak in the sunroom needs to be fixed before we can sell it,” Randor said, showing her a picture of the water damage around the window. Adora nodded her head. Razz called it character, but to an extent she didn’t want to fix it because she needed to ask for help. Not asking for help was a family trait.

“That's easy enough,”

“Exactly, I know your mid term break is coming up, could I get your help for a few days? I’m happy to pay you,”

“Yeah, I’m sure I can fit that around work,” Adora said with confidence that she wasn’t feeling.

“Great, I’m going to take some time off work, so I’ll let you know the days and we can work out what suits you,” Randor said and clapped his hands with excitement.

“Sounds good,” Adora agreed but felt the weight of her commitment settle on her shoulders and felt her stomach knotted with anxiety. That would be fine, she won't have class so she can just replace that time with helping her dad and studying.

They had dinner and dessert before Adora drove her car home with more than expected weighing on her mind. That was fine.

“Yes Mamma, I’m eating,” Catra said, rolling her eyes at her mother's worry. She had such a long day and she was excited to almost be home. She couldn’t wait to order food and throw herself into bed.

“Are you sure, petal? You looked so tired in your last picture for the shop, you know I worry with you so far away,” C’yra said and Catra smiled, she knew her mum cared and that's why she asked, but she wished she didn’t read into every photo of her.

“I spent twelve hours on that tattoo, I’m just tired,” Catra said, her keys jingling as she approached her house and let herself into the hall. She saw flowers on her neighbours doorstep and a single yellow rose on her own doorstep. Catra tried to stop smiling.

“You shouldn’t work so hard, you should be having fun,” C’yra said and Catra laughed.

“I do have fun,” Catra promised and her mother hummed curiously.

“Oh, is there someone new in your life?” C’yra asked with excitement. It was her favourite question to ask and usually the answer was no, but if Catra was lucky, it wouldn’t be no for much longer.

“Mamaa, stop,” Catra whined and she picked up the flower to look at the card. It had her name written neatly with a little heart. Catra couldn’t stop herself from giggling and despite the card lacking a sender it was obviously from Adora.

“Are you sure?” C’yra asked, sounding suspicious from her daughter's laugh. Catra cleared her throat and let herself into her apartment. She went into the kitchen to get a vase to put her flower in.

“Maybe there’s someone, but it's too early to know if it's anything,” Catra said critically to stop her mum from getting excited.

“Oh! I’m so happy to hear that. Tell me all about her,” C’yra asked, and Catra knew she had failed in her try.

“It's not a big deal, like I said, its new,” Catra tried to talk her mother down from her excitement.

“This is the first person you’ve mentioned since…well…you moved,” C’yra said and Catra huffed. Her mother didn’t have to avoid Scorpia’s name, Catra was long past panicking when she heard her name.

“I know, but when there is something to tell you, I will. I promise,” Catra said and C’yra sounded suspicious, but dropped the subject to ask Catra what she is having for dinner.

Adora’s week was a nightmare. On Friday Adora had a big test that she felt wholeheartedly unprepared for, despite how much she had studied and how many tutoring sessions she paid for.

She felt ready to cry when she left the test, convinced that she had completely failed the simplest questions.

“How did you go?” Starla asked and Adora tried to force a smile despite how tired and emotional she was feeling. Starla looked concerned and put her hand gently on Adora’s arm. “Hey, it will be ok,” Starla assured and Adora nodded her head as she tried to bury her need to cry.

“Thanks, I guess we’ll have to see what happens now. How did you go?” Adora asked, wanting to move on from the subject of herself.

“I guess so. I think I did good,” Starla said, biting her lip before she pulled out a piece of paper to write something on it before she offered it to Adora. Adora took the paper and looked at it curiously, it was Starla’s number with a little heart after it.

“If you ever want a study buddy, or to, like, vent, text me,” Starla said and Adora smiled big, feeling so relieved at the offer and hopefully spending less money on tutoring that wasn’t helping.

“Thanks Starla, I will,” Adora agreed.

“Great, see you later?” Starla smiled.

“Yeah, see you,” Adora said and waved before she headed for her next obligation, a meeting with her coach.

Adora wanted to tell her coach that she couldn’t take the captain's position because she was too busy, which her coach took surprisingly well. She mentioned that the current captain had hurt their ankle and they needed a temp captain for a few weeks. They had no one to ask. Adora was a sucker for someone in need. Adora’s resolve crumbled like a house of cards under her need to feel useful. She could fit this into her schedule if it was only for a few weeks. Right?

[...]

Adora was buzzing with excitement all day Saturday despite her exhaustion. She was acting strange and she knew it, too chipper, too helpful, too loud. Glimmer had asked Adora several times during the day if she was abusing some kind of study aid. Adora denied it because she honestly had never considered that an option. 

She was just happy, and she knew it was out of the ordinary but she couldn’t help it. Today was the day she got to see Catra again, and after the week she had, all she wanted was to be close to her. Not to mention everything they had planned.

After Adora finished her shift she went home to shower and change. Maybe she also put on some nicer underwear just in case someone would like to see them, but that was unlikely.

Adora read all the information Catra had sent her many times over and it had really made her solo sessions much more interesting with new ideas to think about. What could she say, she had a stressful week and she needed the stress relief more than ever.

Adora dressed in workout clothing like Catra told her to since weren’t having sex so it was more comfortable to wear light clothing so Adora could stay clothed. Adora had spent too much time thinking about which of her pants made her ass look the best before quickly changing into her chosen clothing.

She snuck out of the house to avoid being questioned but she had a lie planned and ready, she was going to the gym, which was true. She might go to the gym later after she saw Catra. She didn’t see Bow on her way out and she wasn’t stopped from leaving the house so her excuses weren’t needed.

She was relieved that she had her car back so she could drive to Catra’s house and in her eagerness to leave her place she accidentally arrived at Catra’s early.

Adora parked in a visitors parking spot beside Catra’s bike and noticed some flowers in the trashcan on the street. She tipped her head a little as she looked at them like the new angle would explain what she was seeing. She wondered why the flowers were in the trash, they didn’t look like they were dying. Adora shook her head and got out of the car to go to Catra’s door and knock.

She didn’t have to wait long before Catra answered the door. Catra’s hair was pulled back and she already had a wicked smile on her face. Adora felt warm all over as Catra looked at her outfit and Adora quickly glanced at Catra’s clothing. She was wearing workout gear too but hers were all black and hugged her curves like they were painted on. Stars, she looked amazing. Adora would happily follow her to the ends of the earth. That was decidedly not casual.

“Good outfit choice. Someone did their reading,” Catra said playfully and opened the door to let Adora inside.

“Yeah, I read everything you sent me,” Adora said probably too eagerly as she tried to take her shoes off without bending over. She managed to toe her shoes off by leaning on the wall. Once she was done she looked back at Catra who was watching her closely.

“Good girl,” Catra said as they made eye contact and Adora blushed brightly as her body flooded with warmth. Catra’s slow, satisfied smile looked almost predatory. She motioned her head towards the living room.

“Come sit down. Have you had enough water today?” Catra asked and Adora had to think about the last time she had water. She had coffee, that counted right?

“Uh, define water?” Adora said with a little smile and Catra laughed.

“I’ll get you a glass, did you have any questions about what you read?” Catra asked, filling a glass with water at the sink. Adora’s eyes were not listening to her instructions as they slipped down Catra’s body. Catra’s ass looked so good in those pants and Adora needed to be less of a lesbian if she was going to get through this without making a fool of herself.

“Yeah,” Adora started. Catra turned and handed Adora the glass so she obediently drank the whole thing in one go. Catra was grinning at her when she handed the glass back and Catra put it in the sink. Adora was only a little disappointed that her actions didn’t get her another ‘good girl’ but she shouldn’t be greedy.

Catra sat on the couch and motioned for Adora to join her. Adora sat with her legs crossed under her and faced Catra. “I wanted to talk about safewords. The articles you sent me said to use them but I don’t know how to pick one,” Adora said as she blushed. Catra scooted closer to her and Adora found herself holding her breath as she got close.

“I am more than happy to explain anything you need. You don’t need to be embarrassed about liking this stuff. Everyone has their own preferences, and it’s nothing to be ashamed of,” Catra reassured and Adora took a breath as she tried to calm her blush. Adora nodded and Catra watched her carefully. “Good. Remember to keep breathing, it’s important that you don’t raise your blood pressure,” Catra said and Adora nodded again as she obediently tried to keep breathing.

“Perfect. Safewords are for both of us, it's usually a word that wouldn’t come up in a scene that tells me you’re done, or I can use if something isn’t working,” Catra explained and Adora nodded.

“Do you have a safeword you like to use?” Adora asked, she didn’t really want to use a word that Catra had used with other people but she couldn’t think of anything else but getting spanked and it was clouding her brain.

“I like the stoplight system, it’s easy to remember and clear to understand,” Catra said and held up three fingers. “Green for go, or good, yellow to slow down or check in, and red to stop, or you’re done,” Catra explained and Adora nodded.

“I can remember that,” Adora said softly and Catra touched her knee distractingly.

“Good, there is one last thing I think we should talk about before we start. Boundaries,” Catra said softly and Adora nodded. “Once we start a scene, if we haven’t agreed to something beforehand, we both need to check first and if either of us isn’t onboard then we can talk about it outside of the scene,” Catra said and Adora nodded seriously. Adora loved clear instructions and this was clear. She didn’t have to guess what Catra wanted, because Catra would tell her.

“Use your words princess,” Catra said and Adora blushed at her immediate blunder.

“Yeah, that sounds good,” Adora agreed, trying to ignore the way that nickname made her brain into soup. Did she have to think of her boundaries right now? Or would they cover them when they reach them?

“Great, I might be the dom but my job is to give you what you want, so make sure you communicate with me and I will do the same,” Catra said softly and Adora felt her whole body heat up at the idea of Catra giving her what she wanted. The hard part was going to be asking for it. Especially when what Adora wanted wasn’t friendly or casual.

“I also wanted to mention that I have claws. I won't be using them unless you want me to but they might give you the same feeling as the tattoo. We can explore that if you are interested, but they will leave scratches, so if we want to use them, then you might have to wear a little more clothing to cover your trip home,” Catra said playfully as she looked down at Adora’s bare stomach. Adora nodded as her cheeks coloured.

“Ok, I will keep that in mind,” Adora agreed and Catra grinned.

“Great, ready to get spanked?” Catra asked as she stood from the couch, and Adora felt light headed. This was suddenly so real that Adora questioned if she was ready for this at all. Catra seemed to notice and put a reassuring hand on her shoulder.

“Hey, if you don’t like it, then we'll stop. We can try other things to see what you like, this is just about making you feel good. Ok?” Catra said gently and Adora nodded slowly as she looked at Catra with wide eyes.

“Ok,” Adora said, swallowing hard as she pushed herself off the couch. Catra took her hand and led her to her room.

Adora’s heart rate spiked once they entered the bedroom. It was tidy but small and had trinkets everywhere from places Catra had visited. It looked like Catra had been to alot of placed and it made Adora feel inexperienced. She hadn’t even left Brightmoon before, she hadn’t seen anything or done anything cool. Adora was boring in comparison to Catra. Even Catra’s job was cool, and Adora was a business major. There wasn’t anything exciting about her.

Catra led Adora to the bed in the dimly lit room. Adora appreciated the soft lights as they helped her relax. She trusted Catra. Catra had been open and honest with her the whole time they had known each other and Adora knew she would listen and care what Adora had to say. Even if what she wanted was to stop. She felt safe enough to be able to ask for that.

Catra sat on the bed and looked up at Adora with her glowing eyes. She was beautiful.

“So we have a few options for positions.” Catra said, her voice rolling with a subtle purr. Adora was already gone, she felt like her brain left the building as soon as they walked into this room. “The best position is to elevate your hips so it's harder for you to tighten your muscles as a reflex, you can lay face down on my lap,” Catra said, running her hand over one of her supple thighs. Adora conjured the image immediately and she wanted that one, but she tried to listen to the other options. “Or we can prop you up on some pillows, or you can be on your knees,” Catra said and Adora had a completely different idea of what Catra might mean to have ‘her on her knees’ for Catra.

“Um, the first one,” Adora said, trying to sound normal and Catra grinned, her sharp fangs flashing into view.

“I know this goes without saying but I’m going to say it anyway because consent is important,” Catra said and Adora nodded. “I’m going to be touching your ass and your thighs, is that ok with you?” Catra asked and Adora whined softly before she nodded.

“Y-yeah, you can touch me wherever,” Adora agreed readily and Catra grinned as she let out a little shaky breath.

“Good girl,” Catra praised and Adora blushed. She rushed to take her position as an excuse to hide her red face in the covers.

When Adora was situated with her ass slightly raised on Catra's lap she felt Catra’s soft fingertips run along her upper back. Adora successfully held on to a groan but couldn't hold back the shiver that ran down her back at the soft touch.

“How are you feeling?” Catra asked, her tone sounding like she was far away as she continued her soft touching.

“Nervous” Adora said, she was less nervous about the pain and mostly nervous about making a fool of herself if it felt too good.

“Don’t worry Princess, I’ll walk you through it.” Catra reassured her and it helped her body relax slightly.  “We are going to start small, then slowly get harder until we get the pressure you like. Once we are there we will keep using that pressure till you are ready to stop,” Catra said, her hand slowly sliding down Adora’s lower back.

Once Catra reached Adora’s backside she gently squeezed. Adora’s hips rocked forward involuntarily against Catra’s thigh and Adora could have died of embarrassment. “Say yellow when we get there. Ready to start?” Catra asked, thankfully not reacting to the movement of Adora’s hips.

“Yes,” Adora squeaked and waited impatiently for the first impact.

“Remember to breathe, Princess,” Catra said before spanking Adora for the first time.

It wasn't very hard but heat bloomed in Adora's abdomen and dripped down her spine to pool between her legs.

Adora heard herself make a strangled moan as she tried to hold the sound inside her body but then Catra spanked her again, a little harder and Adora moaned loudly. “It’s normal to make sounds, you can let them out.” Catra reassured her again and Adora gripped the blanket to ground herself. “It helps me know you are enjoying it,” Catra said. Adora nodded because she lost the ability to form coherent words. Catra's hand came down on Adora’s ass again, moving the location to not overwork one area. Adora moaned shamelessly and Catra continued her steady pace as she increased pressure.

Adora wasn’t sure how she would know when they reached the right pressure until she reached it. Her mind felt like warm soup as she saw stars behind her eye. The painful spike against her skin felt like a little orgasm as her clit throbbed painfully in response. Adora whimpered and breathlessly said, "Yellow."

“Good girl,” Catra praised her and Adora groaned as she gripped the blankets below her hands harder. She didn't know how much she wanted to be good for Catra until that moment. Being a good girl was everything Adora needed and her mind focused on it singularly. She would be so good.

Catra continued at Adora's requested pressure until Adora’s body was trembling. Adora didn’t want to stop but if she continued then she was sure she was going to cum and she couldn’t let that happen. That would be mortifying. She was considering calling "red" when Catra spoke up first.

“What’s your colour, princess?” Catra asked and Adora breathed a sigh of relief.

“Red,” Adora gasped out and Catra rubbed her backside gently to soothe some of the soreness.

“Good girl,” Catra said and Adora's body flooded with heat as her soupy brain floated in a sea of happy chemicals. Adora felt so close to release that she thought stopping would feel like a torture, but her brain was already so overwhelmed with endorphins and hormones. Even though she didn’t finish she still felt better than even her strongest orgasms.

Catra was gentle as she helped Adora roll over and move up the bed. Adora didn't think aftercare would look and feel so much like cuddling but as Adora recovered from her  blissed out state she could hear Catra’s whispered assurances.

“You were so good for me,” Catra said and Adora snuggled into her neck as she hummed at the praise. Adora was returning to herself slowly as she floated back into her body. As she recovered she realised her hands were moving. Adora didn't know how long she had been doing it but she was carding her fingers through the slightly longer furr of Catra's navel and Catra was letting her. Adora considered if she should stop but she didn't want to and Catra would tell her if it was too much.

[...]

Catra deserved a medal for the amount of restraint she was showing. Adora was so fucking sexy and cute. Adora was so willing to please, and Catra wanted to call her a ‘good girl’ all day long until she believed it.

Adora laid against her as she ran her fingers through the fur of a sensitive and intimate place. It would make Catra horny even if she wasn't soaking wet from listening to Adora moan as she spanked her. Catra would love to suggest where Adora could put her fingers but she reminded herself that Adora might not be interested in that and she didn’t want to push her. She could fuck herself later after Adora left.

In Catra's previous experiences with Kinky Aces (only two experiences really), they had enjoyed non sexual touching in aftercare. She used the same methods with Adora to avoid anything that might be overstimulating, and Adora glowed under the gentle affection. It was a good contrast to the impact play to be so soft with her and Catra could easily get used to this.

Catra rubbed Adora’s upper back right between her shoulder blades and heard a shy little sniffle before she could smell the tears. Adora hid further into her shoulder, seeming embarrassed by her emotions.

“It's ok, it can be overwhelming and it's normal to feel emotional,” Catra assured and Adora nodded her head. “What do you need right now?” Catra asked gently as she pushed some of Adora’s hair behind her ear.

“Cuddles,” Adora said in a shaky voice, and Catra pulled her flush against her as she rubbed her back.

“Of course, anything else?” Catra asked, keeping her tone gentle and her voice low.

“Can you talk to me?” Adora asked softly and Catra smiled. She knew what Adora was asking for, she needed reassurance.

“You were so good for me. You did everything I asked and you did all your homework. You get an A+ on your spanking exam” Catra joked and Adora made a wet snorting sound so Catra was sure her joke landed. “You used your colours perfectly and you stopped when you were ready. I'm so proud of you” Catra said and Adora let out a soft little sob.

“Thank you,” Adora croaked and Catra stroked her hair soothingly. Adora was still stroking Catra’s belly but as they settled into an easy rhythm it felt more soothing than sexy and they both relaxed into the endorphins rush
