Rating: High
Jane hadn’t been kidding about her plans for Callisto. A little beach house in the Caribbean, with nothing but beaches water and the sun for miles around. Maybe not a gas giant, but a little bit of paradise on Earth could serve to remind Shepard of what it meant to be a human. To protect them.
And any excuse to get Callisto into something skimpy. Since it was fairly private, she was sure Callisto wouldn’t have any qualms about people seeing her, either in a swimsuit or being, well, happy.
Somehow Jane thought Callisto wouldn’t want people to see her enjoying herself.
She dropped her bag next to the bed, then walked out to the porch. “Lots of wide open space for you.”
Callisto had never done anything remotely like this. A getaway over Valentine’s Day was momentous in and of itself. But a beach house in the Caribbean? That was something else entirely. Jane was correct, Callisto was still touchy about people seeing her be anything other than the stone cold psychopath that she tended to be. But she also couldn’t deny the fact that she liked Jane, and it wasn’t just the normal acceptance of liking another human being. This kind of like was more romantic interest, and Callisto was still wrestling with these new-found feelings.
She came with two bags, one with clothes and the things that Jane told her to bring. The other had her armor and sword in it. While her armor was a bikini, it was still not practical for sitting on the beach in.
After setting her bags down, she stood on the porch, watching the waves roll in as Jane came back out. She looked over at her, smiling. “Very thoughtful of you.”
And she did appreciate it. If Jane ever wanted to go cave-crawling or do things underground, Callisto was decidedly going to decline going. But a beach she could handle. Even if she might be skeptical about the sand at first, wondering if there was quicksand anywhere. But she wouldn’t freak out about it the way she would being in a confined space.
Contrary to what were probably Callisto’s expectations, Xena hadn’t said anything, mostly out of fear of making Callisto lock up and not actually go. But she had snuck a few things into her bags. One joke gift (a lacy pink number that was not at all Callisto’s style) and a more serious kind of warming edible lotion..
“I like to think I’m thoughtful,”Jane replied. She walked over to Callisto, running two fingers down her arm.
Callisto was surprised that Xena hadn’t made a single comment about this trip. She’d been expecting the comments, but she was definitely glad none had come. She was a fish out of water here, and it wouldn’t take much to make her feel uncomfortable about this. Looking over at Jane, she shivered lightly at the touch to her arm.
“Not certain if this ranks above the trip to Jupiter yet or not. Though I suppose there’s plenty of time for it to overtake that trip.”
“I’ll have to make sure it’s out of this world, too,” Jane replied, moving her fingers across Callisto’s elbow and then to her back. They slipped under her shirt a little as she talked. “After all, that’s kind of a hard thing to follow up on.”
It really was. Maybe she shouldn’t have led with planetary phenomena.
“It is, though you get points because I’ve never been here either.” Jane was definitely taking Callisto to new places. She’d never been one excited for traveling before. Callisto was content to just get on her motorcycle and drive somewhere. Hopping on a plane to go visit another place wasn’t exactly on her radar. Until now. Though Jane also had a spaceship that could go anywhere in the universe it seemed. The stars had never quite fascinated Callisto before, but now she wasn’t against seeing them up close.
Perhaps there were marvels in the universe that could get her attention. And Jane was one of them.
She shivered lightly as she felt Jane’s fingers under her shirt. Callisto leaned a bit closer to the redhead, slipping an arm around her waist. “So, what sights do you have planned to show me?”
There were alien landscapes yet to see. While Shepard had never been an explorer, she still enjoyed the experience and appreciated beauty in all it’s forms. Such as the woman against her right now. “There’s all that water out there, and the beach. There’s scuba gear here. The jungle has its wonder too. And we can spend some time mapping your skin.”
“Trekking through the jungle? Perhaps it’s a good thing that I brought my sword.” It could come in handy with hacking away overgrown plants to forge a path if necessary. Though Callisto didn’t quite miss the last comment and she eyed Jane, a smirk tugging at the corner of her mouth. “What if I want to map yours?”
That actually managed to make Shepard blush. Not too hard considering she was a redhead, but still, it was a feat. She tugged Callisto against hers. “I probably have a more varied map right now. But with you being more and more human, maybe it’s time to build some memories on your skin.”
The statement about becoming more and more human was appropriate in more than one way. Callisto was literally becoming human again after having been immortal. But at the same time, she was also becoming more human by having these feelings for Jane, by being around her more. She slid her hands up along Jane’s arms and rested them on her shoulders. “I’m definitely not opposed to that.”
Jane wasted no more time, leaning in and kissing Callisto. It wasn’t hard, or fast or needy, but it wasn’t dainty either. Something in between, something normal.
She returned the kiss, a bit surprised at the nature of it, but Callisto didn’t push it nor did she back away from it. It also stirred those pesky feelings inside her, and she was rather glad that they had a good amount of privacy here. She didn’t feel as self-conscious about trying to embrace what Jane made her feel in these sorts of situations.
The kiss deepened. Jane cupped her face in her palm, pulling her in closer as her other hand slid up Callisto’s spine. A deep kiss. Maybe an emotional one. Certainly that need was beginning to show itself, and maybe something a little more than need.
Callisto matched the kiss. Her own need and emotion were fueling it. She slid her hands around to Jane’s lower back, pulling her close. Callisto couldn’t get enough of being physically close to someone like this. She liked the feel of being held, of the warmth of another’s body. It was like a drug, and Callisto was fast becoming addicted.
Jane moaned a word, it might have been ‘fuck’ or it might have been something else, but she was quick to pull them to the bed, to lay them down and languidly kiss Callisto while caressing her. This wasn’t passion. This was some other kind of need.
Or maybe Shepard just wanted to make out like a teenager in love.
Gods it was strange how she couldn’t think straight when she was this close to Jane. Yet Callisto eagerly continued, groaning into the languid kiss. She pressed closer against Shepard, her hands caressing up and down her back. One hand slid up Shepard’s side, as Callisto let herself enjoy this.
Callisto’s hand was like lightning on her skin. Jane broke the kiss long enough to pull her shirt over her head, before pinning Callisto down and kissing her slow and gentle and needily.
Another groan escaped her, and Callisto found herself a little unsettled by the butterflies in her stomach that the kiss was causing. She returned the kiss, feeling that same need Shepard did. There was more starting to come alive in her, and she didn’t quite know what to do with that other than express it in this way.
Slowly, Jane started to undress Callisto. She hadn’t intended for there to be hanky panky right away, but they were here and Jane wanted to make Callisto feel something. She wanted to feel something. Something other than fear or anger. Jane wanted to be happy again.
Jane was doing wonders for making Callisto feel something. Already she felt butterflies in her stomach, and the way that Jane left trails of fire along her skin wherever she touched her. It was a fire that Callisto had no qualms being consumed by. Her own hands trailed along Jane’s skin, caressing it, hoping to make her feel something as well.
Their clothing was sent to the floor, and Jane blanketed Callisto with her body and with her hair, pressing long, slow kisses along her neck and her collar bone. Her hand cupped a breast, the other stroking up Callisto’s throat and pressing lightly.
Callisto groaned, arching into Jane’s touch. As the hand pressed lightly at her throat, she definitely didn’t mind it in the least. In fact, she liked it, her body shifting a bit, fingers pressing into Jane’s shoulder blades encouragingly.
Jane groaned herself, her boundary testing coming back positive. She straddled Callisto, flicking her tongue over a nipple as her hand closed around Callisto’s neck and squeezed tighter than before.
There was no fear of death, and Callisto was perfectly okay with the boundary testing. As the squeeze tightened around her throat, breathing became a bit harder, but it turned her on. She moaned, back arching as one hand slid up to the back of Jane’s head, fingers tangling in her hair.
Biting gently and squeezing hard, Jane waited for a reaction.
The hard squeeze sent a jolt through her, one that was enhanced with the feeling of teeth on her skin. She couldn’t breathe, and the groan was strangled as well. Her hips rolled up against Jane’s and her nails pressed into her back. In essence, Callisto loved it.
Well aware of how breathplay could enhance pleasure and especially orgasms, Jane knew she could make Callisto’s afternoon. She lifted her eyes to look down at her, expression vulnerable and almost loving. She stroked and caressed Callisto’s neck, squeezing a little bit several times as she drew her other hand down Callisto’s stomach. She leaned down again, shifting so she could move her fingers to Callisto’s hips while she nipped and licked.
And that hand squeezed hard again.
This was definitely not something Callisto had done before. Breathplay was obviously something she was into doing, she just hadn’t had a partner that she’d wanted to do this with. Or to trust them enough that they wouldn’t actually kill her in the process. Or vice versa, honestly. As it was, Callisto quickly learned to time her breaths when Jane loosened her grip so that she wouldn’t actually lose consciousness.
She shivered in anticipation of where Jane’s hand was going, groaning, though the groan was cut off when the hand squeezed hard again. Her body twitched in response as another wave of arousal rushed through her. Her fingers twisted in Jane’s hair tightly as though she was ready to shove Jane’s head down further.
“Oh fuck me.” Jane groaned, her hand abruptly doing wonderful things between Callisto’s leg. She timed the squeezing of her throat to tighten every time Callisto’s hips jerked in response to the hand there. She was feeling more confident in how much pressure to exert, and lifted her head to watch Callisto’s face. Jane wanted to see her come, and she wanted to squeeze the air from her just as it happened.
Callisto cried out as Jane’s hand started working on her. Her hips jerked and her cries and moans were strangled as her throat was constricted. It only added fuel to the fire, a look of pleasure on her face as her body responded to both Jane’s hand between her legs and to the breathplay. This was a quickfire way to get her worked up, and the coil within her was winding tighter and tighter.
Jane kissed her, thumb flicking back and forth across Callisto’s clit as she did so. She drew the kiss out, nipping with her teeth and taking Callisto’s lip into her mouth. While sucking on it and pressing with her thumb, she squeezed her throat again.
She kissed her back, moaning into it as her orgasm was building rapidly. Her intake of air was cut off as her throat was squeezed again, and it made her hips buck against Jane. She tightened her hold on Jane’s hair, nails of her other hand pressing into her back. It wouldn’t be much longer now, especially if Jane got in one more good squeeze of her neck.
Breaking the kiss, Jane looked at Callisto with intense eyes. She tried to drive Callisto completely over the edge and as she did so she choked her harder than she had before. It was as though each time before had been gauging what Callisto could take and now she might damn near bruise her.
Jane succeeded in driving her over the edge, but her orgasm combined with the hard choke threw her into an abyss. Her orgasm was an intense one, but any scream of pleasure she tried to utter was strangled by Jane’s hand around her throat. Her eyes were focused on Jane when they weren’t rolling up into her head from pleasure. She couldn’t breathe, but she didn’t care. Her orgasm seemed to go on for quite a while, but finally, it did finish. And it finished with Callisto still being conscious as well.
She also hoped that there would be bruising from this.
Gradually, Jane loosened her hold on Callisto’s throat as she brought her down from her orgasm. There would be bruising, and it was the kind that was both a little concerning but also a really big turn on. Her eyes were dark with desire and she looked very pleased with herself. Not many people had ever let her do that.
She laid herself out next to her and caressed her chest and gently stroked her throat. “Catch your breath. Let the oxygen make you nice and dizzy.”
As soon as she was able, Callisto took a deep, sharp breath, the kind that made her cough after taking it. After calming down from the coughing, she took some slower breaths to help calm herself down. The oxygen did make her feel dizzy. She turned her head and gazed at Jane, her dark eyes even darker now.
“Fucking shit, that was amazing,” she said, her voice sounding a little strangled, but intensely turned on. Her throat burned where Jane had squeezed it, and she knew there would be bruising. It was a good thing they most likely wouldn’t see many other people during their time here, Callisto didn’t want people thinking she was getting abused or something.
Leaning down, Jane stole a long, slow kiss. “Glad to be of service. I had other plans but…” She ran her hand down Callisto’s stomach. “I think I derailed myself.”
She really had. She hadn’t meant to seduce Callisto into bed right off. There were plenty of things to do, but she’d felt suddenly needy and a little emotional. They might need a safe word at this rate.
She returned the kiss with some gusto. “I’m perfectly fine with you having derailed yourself. Though I am curious to see what else you have planned.” At least once she was able to get up. Right now, she was content to simply lay there with Jane. Finally, she managed to shift onto her side, facing Jane, and she snuggled close to her, draping an arm over her side and trailing her fingers up her back.
“Some body surfing, diving. There’s a mountain to climb, and a fantastic bar in town. Mostly, I intend to see you mostly or completely naked on the beach.” Jane nuzzled her face into the crook of Callisto’s neck, exhaling softly as the fingers on her back left sparking trails.
“Sounds like an action packed getaway,” Callisto commented as she cleared her throat. “Though I think my being naked on the beach is a definite given.” At least when it came to being around Jane, Callisto had no problem with nudity. She lightly grazed her nails up Jane’s back. “Though right now, I’m more interested in a different kind of body surfing,” she said as she leaned in and kissed Jane, shifting so their bodies were pressed together.
Jane shivered, groaning into the kiss, writhing her body against Callisto’s as the nails dug into the skin of her back. She gasped into Callisto’s mouth. “I’m listening. What kind of ideas do you have?”
She nipped at Jane’s lower lip, smirking a bit. “Well, I did bring some toys like you told me to. I could blindly pick one out and go from there.” Callisto still as yet hadn’t discovered the things Xena had stuck in her bags. The lingerie would not be so welcome by her, but the lotion would be.
“Blindly, huh? Surprise me.” Jane closed her eyes, as though she expected Callisto to surprise her. She thought that that might just be a little fun.
Callisto smirked a bit and gave Jane’s jaw a nip before she rolled away from her and leaned over the edge of the bed to reach her bag. She dragged it close enough to get it unzipped and stick her hand in. She fished around for something for a few moments until she pulled out a toy. Smirking, she kept it down out of sight as she glanced over at Jane.
“Keep your eyes closed,” she said.
“Yes Ma’am.” Jane did peek long enough to get a good look at Callisto’s wonderful ass, but then she dutifully closed her eyes so that Callisto could surprise her with whatever she’d brought. Her skin was tingling and her breathing was shallow from anticipation.
Crawling back over to Jane, Callisto slid one knee between Jane’s legs as she leaned over and nipped along her neck. One hand gripped the vibrator while the other one trailed down Jane’s torso and dipped between her legs. Her fingers tested Jane out, feeling how ready she was, Callisto groaned a bit before she pressed the head of the vibrator against Jane, rubbing lightly before she started sliding it inside of her. She didn’t turn it on yet, instead waiting to show that surprise once it was fully inside of Jane.
“Now, let’s see if I can make you scream,” she murmured as she bit and tugged at Jane’s earlobe.
Jane shivered, squirming as the toy ran over her skin and ready almost as soon as Callisto was touching her. Her hips rocked and she threw her head back and groaned deliriously. “I think you’re… already on the way to doing just that.”
Smirking, Callisto dragged her tongue down Jane’s neck as the toy slid the rest of the way inside Jane. Using her free hand, she ensured everything was in place and she had a grin as she nipped across Jane’s collarbone. “Good,” she said, and then she turned the toy on. Callisto turned both settings on, the thrusting action and the clit stimulator.
Unable to see what Callisto was up to, Jane could feel the toy, and the way Callisto was touching her. It made her shudder, the anticipation almost as good as the act itself. That is, until Callisto turned it on and Jane damn near lost it. She laughed, bucking her hips and groaning. “Oh my god.”
A wide grin crossed Callisto’s face at Jane’s reaction. She held the vibrator steady with one hand as her other hand slid up Jane’s body. She squeezed one of her breasts as her mouth trailed along her chest. “You like that?” She asked as her tongue flicked against skin.
“Yes,” Jane gasped. “I like that. I like that a lot. Don’t stop.” She grabbed for Callisto’s head, tangling her fingers into her hair and tugging hard before pushing her face against her skin. Hips jerking, she squeezed her eyes shut and groaned some very dirty words.
She groaned at the tug to her hair. Her mouth found Jane’s nipple and she bit it as she shifted the vibrator a bit inside Jane for some different sensations. Her other hand groped Jane’s other breast. The way Jane was reacting was just what Callisto had hoped for, and it was intensely hot.
Jane repeated the dirty things she was saying, finding new combinations of words that were both unique and very descriptive of how she was feeling right this moment. And she was feeling like she was going to float off the bed. Jane threw her head back and cried out, feeling slightly embarrassed by how quickly Callisto was getting her off.
The string of dirty things was a turn on, and Callisto was liking how much Jane was getting off on this. Clearly it had been a good choice of toy. Smirking, Callisto trailed nips to Jane’s other breast, nails raking down her side as she held the vibrator steady between her legs.
“Callisto…fuck.” She tugged on Callisto’s hair hard enough to hurt, knowing that Callisto would enjoy that. Callisto seemed to enjoy a certain amount of pain, and while Jane had plans to make love to her, right now she was so close she just wanted to come.
Callisto moaned at the tug to her hair. It sent a shiver through her body and she loved it. She definitely enjoyed pain mixed with pleasure. She shifted the vibrator enough to give Jane some different sensations as her mouth and other hand kept working. She wanted to shove Jane over the edge.
It was super effective. Jane suddenly tensed, arching her back off of the bed and crying out Callisto’s name. She felt like she’d been hit with a bolt of lightning, her muscles spasming and the coil in her stomach coming undone. She was pretty sure she just saw Callisto’s gods.
A pleased smile crossed her face as Jane came undone. Callisto left the vibrator where it was as Jane rode out her orgasm, then once she finished, Callisto turned the vibrator off and eased it out of Jane. She nipped her way back up Jane’s chest and neck, then gazed down at her, that smile still on her face. “You clearly enjoyed yourself,” she murmured.
Grasping the side of Callisto’s face, Jane kissed her deeply and messily. She murmured something unintelligible, then nuzzled her face with her cheek. “Mmmmm.”
She wasn’t feeling clingy. Nope. Not a little.
Callisto returned the kiss, setting the vibrator aside. She didn’t even mind the nuzzling, which was definitely something according to Callisto. She wasn’t one who could be described as the touchy-feely sort, and yet she couldn’t quite get enough physical contact with Jane. As such, she shifted to lay on her side beside Jane, slipping her arms around her and pressing close against her. “I like the sound of that,” she said with a smile.
“Mmmmm?” Jane repeated. She stretched out so that their bodies were entirely flush together.
She chuckled softly at the question. She gave her own “Mmm” once their bodies were flush together. Callisto thought that maybe she could get used to this. This wasn’t so bad. She just wouldn’t let Xena know that she was starting to think that, otherwise she’d never hear the end of it.
Stroking Callisto’s hair, Jane murmured something again, kissing Callisto’s cheek. “This is nice. How does it feel to actually relax. I think I forgot what being relaxed felt like.”
“It feels good, I have to admit. Just don’t let that get out,” she added a bit teasingly. Though she was also serious. Callisto didn’t like people viewing her as soft or emotional because she wasn’t either of those.
“I won’t breathe a word. It’ll stay between us,” she promised, moving her hands into Callisto’s hair and scritching at her scalp. The only way she could be more affectionate right now (or at least risk saying something bad) would be if she had drank something. Luckily she hadn’t. Instead, she could bury these feelings where they couldn’t mess things up.
The scalp scritches sent tingles through her body. “Good.” Callisto slid her hands along Jane’s skin, lightly grazing her nails along it and tracing a tattoo. She closed her eyes, relishing in the scritches and in the contact between their bodies.
Kissing her, Jane did so gently. Firmly. But gently. She kissed Callisto, seeking to draw something out of her that Callisto probably wouldn’t normally be willing to give. But she kissed her, and touched her, fingers on Callisto’s chain the way Callisto’s nails were on Jane’s tattoo.
The kiss was unexpected, and Callisto wasn’t certain about it. It made her feel things that she hadn’t felt before, and it was unsettling. Nevertheless, she couldn’t help but to return the kiss as Jane drew out some emotion from Callisto. She matched the gentle firmness of Jane’s kiss, keeping their bodies pressed together.
Jane was Feeling Things too. Like butterflies in her stomach or little charges across the skin. Her palm spread out across Callisto’s hip and pulled her even closer and she murmured wordlessly against her mouth.
There were definitely butterflies. Sometimes it felt like her heart was skipping beats. It was all things she never thought she’d feel because she never thought she’d be in this position. Yet here she was and she groaned softly as Jane pulled her even closer. She slid the palm of her hand along Jane’s back, fingers trailing down her spine.
“How does a late lunch sound?” Jane murmured. She didn’t want to move. She wanted to enjoy this while she could. The fate of the planet was rushing at her like a freight train, and all she’d been able to do was wait and train, and wait some more. It was almost worth it to finally have something to do.
But then, she was going to enjoy Callisto until she couldn’t. After all, Callisto was one of those things worth dying for.
“I think that sounds perfect,” Callisto murmured in response. Though if she knew that Jane thought she was something worth dying for, she’d argue that. And it wasn’t low self-esteem or anything like that that made her think that way, she just plain didn’t think like that. She wasn’t a hero, she wasn’t even an anti-hero. She was a villain, the one who made heroes die for something they loved or believed in.
She was a person, one that Jane was growing fond of. And there weren’t many people she’d die for, as opposed to ideals or humanity in general. Jane ran her fingers down Callisto’s cheek, and kissed her again, grinning into the kiss.
Callisto slid her hand up Jane’s back and tangled it into her hair as she kissed her back. She could certainly get used to this, was already getting used to it, and that was dangerous. Callisto didn’t handle emotions well, even things like anger she tended to just explode and lash out at whomever or whatever was closest to her at the time.
Breaking the kiss, Jane pressed her lips to Callisto’s eyelids, one at a time. She had plans for long, lazy afternoon, where she was going to worship Callisto from head to toe.
Callisto wouldn’t precisely say no to worshipping her, though she also wasn’t used to such treatment. It was definitely still new to her and it seemed like she’d need to get used to it the longer she was around Jane. But for now, she had no qualms on the matter.
