Kara was feeling rather tense as she and Ayesha stepped inside the villa after saying goodbye to the men. She walked slowly to the black sofa and sat down on it quietly pressing one hand tightly onto her stomach with the other pushing away forcefully at her forehead. Her eyes had a look of anguish in them after she had placed her glasses on a small side table to the left.
Ayesha didn't take long to realize how Kara was feeling and she also knew very well why that was. She had to attend an unavoidable call from the HR manager at Livingstone due to which She regrettably had to allow Kara a few lucky minutes to mull in self loathing. However, once She was finished She wasted no time to pull Kara away from her misery.
Ayesha walked briskly towards the sofa Her thick long black hair waving swiftly above Her back as She sat down next to Kara with an active burst of energy.
Ayesha said nothing and only stared intently at the younger woman for a few moments with intense piercing eyes and a wide smile that remained plastered onto Her face. Kara did not say anything for a few minutes, the grave look of worry staying on her face and her hands still remaining in the same positions as before. However, as Ayesha had predicted before making Her move, Kara's sadness could not hold on against Her persistence for long. That is why soon enough the blonde found herself giving out a small burst of laughter while drawing her eyes away shyly in shame.
'Don't do that to me please Diana'. She said dryly, that momentary look of joy on her face changing into sadness very quickly.
'Well, young lady you are seriously fooling yourself if you think I will ever allow you to beat yourself up all night over a silly mishap'. Ayesha said in a relatively sharp but concerned voice.
Kara let out a little sigh as she tilted her head towards the right with closed eyes.
'You have to admit it was a really bad mistake, Diana'. She remarked in a resigned voice coupled with a pained expression on her face.
'Oh, no. It wasn't'. the goddess tilted Kara's face towards Hers as She spoke the words, staring intently into the blonde's adorable dark blue eyes.
'Oh, great Hera. What's gotten into you child'. Ayesha said in a soothing voice as She gently patted the worried blonde on the back after they had embraced.
'Look, sweetie. A badminton racket can get broken even by a random petite human'. Ayesha said soothingly after lovingly placing Her left arm around the blonde's slender shoulders.
'You were caught in an intense moment where you were desperate to score a few points. It happens to the best of us'. Ayesha added soothingly.
'Thank You for the kind words Diana. I honestly couldn't have had a better Mentor than You'. Kara said shyly as she continued to struggle meeting the goddess' captivating brown eyes.
Ayesha looked back with a warm smile.
'You know what Kara. I have always longed to take you under my wing. Nurture you, train you and protect you. I hope you don't hate me for this but I was actually glad that the racket broke when it did..
'It's because I love being intimate with you'. She commented after a brief pause, whispering seductively in the ears of the mesmerised blonde.
Ayesha decided not to hold back any longer after that. They made out with intense passion for a few minutes with Ayesha taking full control and Kara surrendering herself as completely as she could to satisfy the goddess' highly intense desires.
Ayesha continued with the loving domination for a short but highly captivating span of time.
She kissed the younger woman with extreme passion, even Her tongue seemed far stronger when She thrust it firmly into the blonde's pleading throat. Kara's petite frame was helplessly pinned below Ayesha's much more athletic and admirable one and her beautiful, firm and perfect breasts pressed strong and hard against Kara's more modest ones.
Despite the heated scenario that was unfolding before Her, Ayesha continued to ensure that Kara did not sacrifice her own needs for the sake of pleasing the goddess. This also proved to be the exact reason why Ayesha decided to end that highly captivating session a lot earlier than She perhaps would have liked.
Kara sat cross-legged on the black sofa and
continued to stare submissively at Ayesha who was climbing up the stairs with Her usual confident stance and vibrant energy.
Both Women had not spoken to each other after that brief make out session. Ayesha had decided not to say anything and quietly make Her way up the stairs but She changed Her mind when She had climbed midway to the top. Ayesha stole a look at Kara and smiled warmly when She saw how the blonde was looking up submissively at Her.
'What's wrong Kara'? Was I too forceful with You? Speak to Me sweetheart. Ayesha said in a slightly worried and gentle voice with a concerned look on Her face.
'No..no...please don't feel worried Diana. You're my Guardian and my Superhero. How could I ever feel upset. I thought I wasn't even worthy of the bliss You generously decided to give to me'. Kara said with a face full of emotion and gratitude.
'Oh, please Kara. Thank you so much sweetie. you give me too much credit baby girl'. Diana placed one of Her long graceful hands over Her stunning cleavage as She replied in a tender voice.
'Are you sure you don't want to join Me in the shower? Don't be embarrassed to say no to me baby girl. If you're not up for it, I will totally understand'. Ayesha spoke from the top floor after finally climbing all the way upstairs.
'Er...well...er... could we take a raincheck on that? Eh...I don't think I could cope anymore tonight with Your intense energy'. Kara said blushing uncontrollably while she spoke with a slight stutter in her soft voice.
Ayesha pretended to frown at the blonde with a raised eyebrow.
'Just put yourself at ease my dear. I would never force you into anything you don't want to do okay'. Ayesha said soothingly exuding a calming expression from Her face while She spoke.
'Although for the record, I would absolutely love holding you unclothed with your beautiful body in a hot stream of water'. Ayesha said while licking Her lips and winking at her.
Kara blushed instantly once again and gave out a shy little laugh upon hearing those words. She just continued to gaze up admiringly as Ayesha finally moved away towards Her washroom to take the shower before bed.
It was rather cold outside with the clock ticking a quarter past midnight and the central heating system within the villa was under heavy dependency to produce just the right amount of heat for both Women to live without any discomfort. Ayesha had chosen a slightly heavy black colored full sleeves night shirt and a pair of heavy black pajamas to ensure that She would sleep peacefully through the rest of the night.
She opened the washroom door in the upstairs room to the right and undressed Herself slowly. She flexed Her toned muscles in the mirror, Her outstanding physique with Her rock hard abs, Her stunning cleavage, Her muscled torso and Her Shiny Thick And Long Black Hair all bearing witness to the fact that She was indeed a literal goddess in every sense of the word. She stared sharply at Her own reflection for a few moments, gently rubbing Her chin as She fantasized about the events that had happened during that day. She opened the hot water valve of the shower and continued to remain in Her reverie as the mesmerising feel of the warm torrents of water splashed across Her perfect body right from the top of Her magnificent black hair to the tips of Her long, slender and highly sensual feet.
Ayesha wondered how She would manage Her relationships with Mike and Kara. She had naturally been bisexual since childhood but it was so difficult to satisfy two submissives of different genders without one of them ending up with deep emotional sadness. She knew that Mike was the kind of guy who very desperately needed a lovingly dominant Alpha Woman like Her in his life to have any chance against a merciless society. But at the same time Her feelings for Kara had always been crystal clear right from the very first meeting they had both had in National City. She wasn't particularly happy about the fact that Clark had sent Kara into Her protective custody without even saying a word. She could easily make him squeal for this transgression whenever She wanted but now was not the time for anger or for holding grudges.
She had used Her dynamic influence to force the security team in the small town
to increase their surveillance activity especially in Her Precinct. She had only told the security chief that one of Her younger cousins was under the threat of abduction which had been enough for him to take the necessary actions She required.
Ayesha continued to stay in the shower for nearly half an hour while She was deep in thought after which She finally pulled Her long and heavy thick black hair away from the water stream and then also removed Her muscular body away from it as well.
She let out a small sigh of relief while inhaling the thick mist that had surrounded the entire perimeter of Her washroom and rubbing a large towel from the top of Her head down to Her well built strong shoulders, Her large firm well rounded breasts and then Her thick firm belly and rock hard abs, She then slipped into Her comfy clothes and walked gingerly towards the bedroom on the left corner where She found Kara lying down with her legs spread out and opened on the large and wide soft mattress of Ayesha's Queen sized bed.
The kryptonian was blankly staring ahead of her with earphones plugged in her soft ears with a grave expression on her face. She had tucked herself into a large pink colored blanket which was why only her face and golden bangs were visible to the naked eye.
Ayesha stared mischievously at the younger woman and forcefully clicked Her fingers twice to get her attention.
Kara was forced to snap out of her reverie due to the sharp noise which was loud enough to get her attention despite the sound of the music which was blaring into her ears. She looked at Ayesha without returning the warm smile that the goddess was just giving Her coupled with a teasing twitch of the eyebrows.
Ayesha shook Her head with a warm expression and a wry smile as She slid into the warm cozy bed and placed an arm around the blonde's shoulders after tucking Her body into the same blanket.
Both Women lay still for a while, rejoicing in the warmth they were feeling after hot showers they had just had and the comforting feel of the warm blanket which covered both their bodies coupled with the strong and effective heating that completely engulfed the villa.
Ayesha did not say anything because She thought it was wise right now to just cuddle the younger woman who was still struggling to shake the incident that happened during the badminton game.
It took sometime before Kara eventually broke the silence upon realising that she simply couldn't take the silence any longer.
'Di..Diana do You think I should call J'onn to sort it out?' she said in a low and tentative voice.
'Why, sweetheart? I told you and I promise you there's no need to worry about it, okay'.
'It seems like you just don't trust My wisdom anymore. I thought you were my most promising student who had complete faith in Me'. Ayesha said rolling Her eyes dramatically as She spoke.
'I have always looked up to You for strength and inspiration Diana. I guess I just didn't have enough strength within myself to at least become half as amazing as You.
I trust You more than my ownself and that's why I am choosing to believe that nothing will happen after my screw up'. Kara was continuously staring into Ayesha's face as she spoke in an emotional tone while the goddess just stared back at her with a piercing glare which continued to soften with a warm smile as Kara continued with the heartfelt words.
'Sweetheart you don't have to worry about anything as long as you're under my wing. You're just as strong and resilient as your cousin in fact you're arguably even stronger since you've seen the tragedy of losing your planet with a conscious mind. I can't even imagine what I would do if Themiscira ever went through something as horrific as that'.
Ayesha spoke softly after placing Kara's face under Her firm and chiseled chin.
The movement resulting in Kara's modest breasts rubbing against the goddess' bigger and firmer cleavage.
'Diana'?
'Yes, sweetie'.
'Do You really feel confident that Bashir and Mike won't suspect anything?'. Kara pulled her face up from Ayesha's chest with a slightly disturbed look in her eyes.
Ayesha did not say anything but Her playful foreboding stare was enough to calm down the unsettled blonde. The intense and playful look broke Kara into a shy smile as she tried to put her hands together to plead forgiveness. But Ayesha was once again too quick for her as She clasped Kara's smaller hands into Hers with a little chuckle.
Back in the next Villa, Mike was having a rather unstable night. Just after having the hot cocoa he felt a sudden jolt of pain engulfing his stomach. He rushed to the Washroom hoping he wouldn't throw up but eventually he had no other choice when the Pain began to feel unbearable.
Bashir was deep in thought, thinking and worrying about his discovery in Ayesha's washroom cupboard when Mike's loud voice snapped him out of his reverie.
He hurried towards the washroom and rapped outside the door.
'Hey, buddy. Are you okay in there?. If you're not indecent right now, should I come inside?' Bashir said in a slightly high pitched voice keeping his hand on the door as he gazed down to wait for a response.
Mike was standing half naked before the wash basin feeling slightly dizzy after throwing up twice. He had beads of cold sweat trickling down his forehead as he listened to Bashir's voice.
'Yes. Yes, you can come in'. He said in a slightly weak voice and began to splash water on his face as Bashir entered into the Washroom.
'Hey, how are you feeling now? Is your shirt still clean? You should come lie down while I go and make you some green tea for your stomach'.
'Thank you, Bashir. You're always a big help.
I guess I ate too many of yours and Kara's delicious potstickers'. Mike replied while wearing his shirt and drying up his face with a towel.
'Well. I think Kara makes the more tasty ones. So go after her if you dare'. Bashir said cheerfully while patting Mike on the back as he followed him downstairs towards the drawing room on the ground floor.
Mike sat down on the large brown couch below the stairs waiting while Bashir prepared the green tea in the kitchen.
'So have you texted your boss about not showing up in the morning?' Bashir said after rubbing sleep from eyes and giving out a low yawn while sitting beside him.
'Em..well I haven't really thought about taking a sick day'.
'Well you shouldn't even be thinking about such a simple decision, Mike. You haven't taken a sick day since more than six months and besides isn't Ayesha your new boss now?'
'Well not till the end of this month and you know very well how difficult Ritcher can be'.
Bashir rubbed his chin and looked away for a few moments before finally turning his face towards Mike and staring straight into his eyes.
'Take the day off and spend some quiet time with Ayesha. I will log into your laptop and do the work for you'.
Mike shook his head and smiled widely at Bashir.
'No way. I can't ask you to do that Bashir. You already do so much around the house while I am stuck in work'.
'Okay. Well then how about I ask your new boss to do it for you'. Bashir said slyly with a raised eyebrow.
'Hey, no way. Don't you dare do that Bashir. I already feel too indebted to Her already'.
Mike said in a sharp voice and a serious look on his face that made Bashir burst out in laughter.
'Okay. Don't stress about anything right now Buddy'. Bashir added with another little laugh, lightly patting him on the back as he spoke.
'Just take your rest right now okay and send the message to Ritcher at this very instant or I am calling the bastard myself'. He continued with a warning look.
'Okay, okay. Wise guy. I am doing it'. Mike said pretending to be exasperated and jokingly throwing a small cushion at Bashir while he spoke.
They both got up simultaneously after finishing the green tea from their cups. Mike walked back slowly to his room upstairs. He felt a lot better after drinking the whole cup of green tea. He realized that he had already begun to feel a lot better after he had finished throwing up in the washroom a short while ago. He lay down instantly after reaching his room and was soon snoring away heavily with a warm blanket wrapped around his whole body except the face.
Meanwhile, Bashir placed the two empty cups near the washbasin with a deep pensive look on his face. He stood still right next to the white wooden door of the kitchen that led towards the backside of the Villa. He couldn't take his mind away from the photo. How could a Woman in Her thirties possibly be alive in a setting that clearly resembled a day from the 19th Century? First there was the photo and then there was the incident where Kara broke the badminton racket in half after swinging it viciously. Bashir honestly wasn't sure if it was just a coincidence. Ayesha obviously was a true force of nature before but She certainly seemed a lot more extraordinary to him now. He thought it best though to keep his thoughts to himself for now. However, he certainly couldn't sleep on this discovery either especially since both those Women were next door neighbors who met him and Mike more regularly than anybody else in the entire landscape of the little town.
After a while, Bashir decided to climb up to the roof of the villa from the back side terrace stairs just to clear his head. He usually did this whenever he felt stressed and this was certainly one of those occasions for him.
He climbed relatively slowly feeling afraid that he might lose his footing since the light in the terrace wasn't bright enough for him to see everything clearly. All the adjoining rooftops within view were empty after he had climbed all the way up. The view in front of him was fascinating as usual with the main highway road straight in front and the glittering golden lights giving that enchanting feeling as usual to any onlooker who saw them up close.
There was complete silence all around, apart from a faint rustling sound of leaves as sharp gusts of chilly wind swept past them after short intervals. Bashir sat still on a small garden chair which him and Mike had kept on that rooftop, reminiscing about Ayesha and Kara once more. He continued to stay still in the same position for a few minutes until he decided to get down and finally call it a night as his eyes began to feel heavy from the need for sleep.
He was just about to start climbing down the stairs when he felt as if a sudden flash of light had just whizzed past him. He stopped at once and began to scan the horizon due to his curiosity. However, nothing happened after that and as a few minutes passed he believed that perhaps it was just his mind playing tricks on him.
However, as he turned around once again towards the stairs a sudden revving noise of a modern day car struck his ears.
It was a really low noise which he certainly wouldn't have heard if the surroundings weren't so quiet.
The car was black in color and its headlights were surprisingly switched off. It stood quite close to Ayesha's villa with its engine switched on. Bashir had only looked at the car for a few seconds when suddenly another flash of light swirled in the direction of Ayesha's villa.
Bashir made the quick decision to duck below a small layer of bushes at the edge of the rooftop. These sudden events were a clear indication that something fishy was up with Ayesha. Bashir was now more than sure of this after already witnessing the old photo and Kara's episode at the badminton game. He continued to stay motionless under the bushes hoping that the people in the car wouldn't spot him from below. He couldn't be sure from exactly where those two flashes of light had come from but he realized that he would most likely give himself away if he stood up on the roof.
A few minutes passed away where everything remained motionless. There was complete silence all around apart from the slight chirping noise of crickets in the bushes below. Even the owls and other nocturnal animals seemed to be hiding away from the stinging chilly wind that was blowing across the landscape.
Bashir was starting to debate whether he should finally go down to his cosy bed again since the cold was starting to get unbearable for him after having been down underneath the small cluster of bushes for nearly half an hour.
'I really should get down now. It seems like that car's appearance is just a coincidence'. He thought to himself. However just a few moments after that thought there was another sudden activity that left him in shock. It all happened simultaneously with a more vivid flash of light that swept past the front end of Ayesha's villa and the appearance of a creepy looking guy who got out of the car dressed fully in black with a hood covering his head.
The guy seemed to be waiting precisely for the light to shine at the front end so that he could finally come out and execute what he was supposed to do. The light stayed longer this time which showed that those flashing it were keeping it in that position on purpose. The creepy guy walked slowly towards Ayesha's villa and drew out a cellphone from one of his pockets, moving it all around the villa's perimeter. However, the light vanished after just a couple of minutes and the guy also quickly slipped his gadget into his pocket. He remained standing beside the car waiting for two others who also popped out from it after a few moments.
Bashir was witnessing all of this gasping nervously for breath due to a mixture of fearful excitement and the bone chilling cold that was now severely engulfing his trembling body.
The trio stood outside the car obviously discussing something important between them. The creepy guy who had come out first took out a cigarette lighter from one of his pockets and a pack of cigarettes along with it. However, the lighter flipped out of his hands and broke on the road below. Bashir couldn't make out what was being said but it was clear that one of the other two seemed livid with him. He smacked the creepy guy roughly on the back of his head and continued to speak angrily for a while before the three of them finally got back in the car and drove away from the neighborhood.
Bashir continued to remain still with bated breath and only stood up after he saw the car speeding away into the distance on the highway just ahead. He got down abruptly from the rooftop, his whole body shaking and his teeth chattering uncontrollably from the biting cold. He thought about stepping out immediately and look around for the remains of the lighter which could probably prove to be a valuable clue but he desperately needed a long steaming hot bath first to feel alive and feel the blood flowing freely through his frozen limbs again.
After he was done with the bath and had put on some fresh warm clothes he drew a long breath and took a little sneek peak at Mike who was still snoring lightly on his bed in deep sleep.
Despite the bone crunching chill outside he felt warm and energized enough to take a long hard look around the scene. There didn't seem to be any clues lying around apart from the remains of the lighter. Bashir thought he would perhaps have better luck finding them in the day time.
He bent down and flashed his cellphone light on the remains which were just nothing more than worthless shards of material. However, as he looked closely he saw that half of the lighter's body was lying a bit further away from the rest of pile. He took it in his hands and turned it around looking intently at the small golden letters that read 'Xavier'.
