For Karrin

[dresdenforhire]

There's a saying- when the going gets tough the tough get going to the little blonde woman with the cute nose and is even tougher. Not many people say that but it's definitely a saying I use. Well, I don't exactly say it out loud but I definitely think it. I think about Karrin Murphy for a lot of reasons but one of them is definitely help with the tough things. She may not pack a magical wallop but she doesn't need to. Plus she's not afraid to call me on being a dumb ass and that's a very important trait I look for when things are tough. Plus I can fit more gear in the Blue Beetle if she's the other person riding with me.

So that's why I was pulling up outside of her house unannounced late Friday afternoon. I needed help at the last minute for a rather unpleasant job and I knew Karrin Murphy well enough that I knew if she had to she'd cancel plans to help me. Not as any huge favor for me most likely but because she knew I wouldn't ask if it wasn't really important.

Unfolding myself out of the car I made my way up to her front door. I could feel the energy around the place, the magical barrier that all homes had. Of course hers was stronger than most, her grandmother having lived her and it being truly a home.

I stopped short of the door and used my staff to knock. I wasn't sure what types of electronics she might have on her or near the door since I was showing up without warning and I didn't want to fry anything important. I at least try to be courteous about that, especially if I'm going to be asking someone for help.

She had to come down slowly, stroking them both through their orgasms until she had to slow and eventually stop. Karrin was heaving for breath and fell forward on him, his height and long torso meant she was able to rest her head on his chest but not quite reach far enough to kiss him.

For the moment though she was too tired to do more than bask in the afterglow and let herself ride that feeling out. Her mind was floating and her thoughts were just fuzzy things at the edge of her mind. She had a rare and greedily desired moment of nothingness. No pain, no worries, no concerns she simply existed in the moment with Harry and was feeling the most intense pleasure and emotion she'd ever felt.

The idea that she loved him wasn't new, it was something she'd debated with herself for a while, but now she was sure. She was in love with him and they both had a mutual understanding of how they both needed to be sometimes to get real release. Maybe not always but surely in a way they hadn't been able to achieve it before.

It took her a long time to come back to herself getting some kind of breathing back in order. She kissed his chest softly and weakly tried to move a heavy, tired arm to grip his shoulder and let her thumb stroke across it. "Jesus, Harry. I've never cum like that before."

I immediately wrapped my arms around her when she collapsed on my chest, in part because I was worried she would disappear because this couldn't possibly be real and in part because now that I wasn't in her I needed to be close to her in other ways. I was going to be such a clingy bitch.

I leaned forward to kiss the top of her head, breathing her in deeply as I felt my body melt against the ground. I almost couldn't feel myself, like I had been sent into some far off place by the power of her fucking. An orgasm that made my soul leave my body.

I could feel her breath on my chest, warm and soft, reassuring me that she was still alive even if I wasn't entirely sure if she was conscious. When she finally talked I gave a happy little noise at what she said.

"M'Gonna be... so smug about that..."

His response made her laugh, shaking gently atop him from her recline and she nipped at his skin for it. "I guess you're allowed. But you can't tell me you've ever felt like that before either."

She lifted her head up now that she was pulling the pieces of herself back together again. They'd really done a number on each other and she had no regrets. It had taken them a long time to get here and they had both seen and done a lot in their lives but it felt like maybe they needed to so that they'd be ready for each other.

"I mean it though, Harry. I've never felt like this with any other lover and I think I know why that is." You know, aside from the fact that he had been perfectly submissive and willing to let her do as she pleased with him, to him. It was more than just the physical release.

"I'm in love with you, and I think it's time I stop lying to everyone, especially myself, about it."

"Karrin Murphy you have driven me crazy one-way-or-another since the moment we met and at some point that absolutely became because because I love you," I said, the words coming far more easily than I would have thought. If I had said it during the sex I might have doubted myself a little but this was one instance where post-nut clarity made that easier to say.

I loved her. I loved Karrin Murphy SO MUCH. Was it a little terrifying? Yes, I didn't have the best track record with partners but then again who does? Your only successful relationship was always the one you were currently in. Granted "left for dead", "turned into a half-vampire then killed", and "was cursed into dating me" were probably worse than most people dealt with on the "ex" front that didn't mean it was going to end badly with Murphy.

Smiling at her I reached up and booped her on the nose, a totally cute gesture that couples in love totally did without one getting angry at the other just because she was tiny and had an adorable nose.

"I love you."

She almost growled over that cutesy little move but she was feeling entirely too good to be mad about it. In fact, she even smiled a little bit.

"God this was good." She sighed and laid down atop him, glorying in the heat and closeness of everything with them. She was going to feel this in the morning she could already tell but what a wonderful sort of ache to have.

She was the last one to criticize someone about their past relationships. Multiple marriages that ended in failure of one kind or another and one of them was in the ground while the other married her sister. Which still didn't sit right with her but what the hell could she do about it? Not a damn thing.

"Glad we got that settled. But we're definitely doing this someplace more comfortable next time."
