“I’m really glad I’m here, Kate, I mean I know I’ve been to your suite before but... well obviously this is a little different...”
Kara wouldn’t lie, she had been more than a bit worried about the mock claims and who she would end up with, obviously she wanted to stay with Kate, but... even besides her growing affections for her partner- was that ok? Could she say that yet? Were they partners now?- there was another reason she had been nervous
In all honesty, she was still aching pretty badly from the secrets that had been dropped a few weeks ago, and although it looked like no one really cared or even noticed her secret, she didn’t feel like she could trust most people at this point, how could she know if someone was secretly helping out these horrible hackers or not? How could she trust that they weren’t going to just lure her into a false sense of security and then turn on her and call immigration? And even more than that, on the less extreme side, she couldn’t think of any Dominants or Switches who she really had any kind of solid relationship with, anything past a few general greetings, the thought of letting someone she didn’t know have so much control over her was.... terrifying.... and the idea of spending the week away from Kate made her want to scream
Because Kate was her one and only security blanket through all this, she had become so dependent on them without even really meaning to, and all that vulnerability that scared the life out of her with anyone else just felt exhilarating and freeing with Kate
...She maybe was starting to fall in love...
