99. Chapter 99

Maggie’s on the job and she’s got her game face on and the officers in her unit are milling around the scene exactly how she taught them, reporting exactly as she prefers, being exactly as meticulous as she’s been training them to be.

And then Alex Danvers saunters in and asks her a question with her eyes and pulls her in for a searing kiss.

“Alex!” she chides, but her smile is growing along with her blush because most of her guys are cheering and the ones who aren’t are snickering and the one who’s not doing either she makes a note of and she’ll deal with his ass later.

She’s making dinner and Alex keeps sighing and looking up at her and Maggie can’t help but be reminded of Kara, but she puts the thought of Alex’s kid sister out of her mind immediately because Alex suddenly knows what to do with her boredom, and she’s unbuttoning her shirt and Maggie is gulping and Alex is biting her lip and Maggie is kissing her because dinner can burn, dinner can wait, but apparently Alex can’t, and neither, quite frankly, can Maggie.

She’s in the DEO and she’s going over schematics to a new body armor design for the NCPD with Winn and Alex pokes her head in and puts on her innocent face, her innocent voice, but Maggie knows better and so does Winn, because the moment Maggie excuses herself and slips out of the room, Winn hears the distinctive sound of Maggie’s body being pushed against the wall, Maggie’s breath leaving her body in a hiss because Alex’s lips are warm and Alex’s lips are perfect and Winn might as well continue the modifications on his own because this will probably take a while.

She’s in bed and she’s reading and Alex is next to her and Alex is falling asleep, but Alex’s groggy hand is still sweeping for Maggie’s book, is still trying to block the words from her sight. “You want something, babygirl?” Maggie asks, her smile growing, and Alex gestures sleepily for her to lay down, for her to come closer, because she’s sleepy and she wants love and she wants kisses and my god she never thought she’d crave any kind of intimacy at all and now all she ever wants is kisses from Maggie Sawyer.

And she smiles, because that’s exactly what she gets.
