29. Chapter 29

Somewhere between Kara’s third dance with Lena and James’s ringing laughter and Winn’s amused entreaties for them to just get a room already, Alex and Maggie finally took his advice.

The room they chose – or rather, the room Alex tugged Maggie into desperately, tugging at her shawl and kissing every bit of lipstick off of her mouth – was a small conference room, off of the lavishly decorated L Corp lobby.

“Tights off,” Alex growled into Maggie’s mouth, and Maggie hoisted herself onto the conference room table so Alex could drag them down for her.Somewhere between Alex, on her knees, reaching up to cover Maggie’s mouth while she licked and sucked her clit, and Maggie wrangling Alex’s dress above her waist so she could slip her fingers inside her while returning the favor, the two dimly registered the excited countdown growing in the party outside, Lena’s guests counting back steadily from twenty.

It was nearly midnight.

Maggie grinned into Alex’s mouth and curved her fingers deep inside her, kissing her lips to stifle her scream as she came undone in Maggie’s arms, as her knuckles grew white on the edge of the table, as she panted Maggie’s name and clawed at her back and tried not to let her heel dig into her exposed skin, as she shuddered hard and deep and thorough.

As the clock struck twelve, and cheers rose up through the lobby outside, and the year passed by, Maggie claimed Alex’s lips before whispering in her ear, “Happy new year, Alex Danvers. I can’t wait to spend it loving you.”
