Snuggles (Paige POV)

Paige sat on the couch, snuggled squarely between Ivy and Skylar. Her favourite place to be was snuggling with one or more of her girlfriends. She was glad she remembered that now.

Next to the tv, Lena and Mia were in a passionate debate about which movie they were going to put on.

“Look I’m not saying Tangled isn’t a good movie, but she hasn’t seen Sleeping Beauty! That’s one of the classics! The Golden Age!” Lena argued.

“Technically Sleeping Beauty is from the Silver Age.” Elsa threw in.

“Thank you! See, she knows her stuff. Why are you so dense? Tangled is great, and it was part of my childhood!” Mia said.

In other words, things were pretty normal.

As they listened in amusement to the light hearted argument taking place, Skylar started to scratch the top of Paige’s head lightly.

Paige leaned into the touch instinctively, a broad smile making it’s way across her face.

“You okay there?” Skylar chuckled as Paige nuzzled in closer.

Paige nodded. “Yep! Just a bit tired.” She said, taking the opportunity to close her eyes for a bit.

“I’m proud of you for resting today. It’s really good to know what your body needs!” Ivy said to her.

Paige glowed with pride at the praise. “Thank you!” She said, beaming.

“Aww look at you, getting all the praise and loving it!” Emma teased, joining the conversation.

Paige felt her cheeks heat up, even as she kept smiling. “I like praise.” She said.

Emma giggled, her hand joining Skylar’s in giving her headscratches for a brief few seconds.

“And you deserve all the praise.” Ivy added, kissing her hand.

Paige blushed harder. “Yay!” She said, and the three women around her giggled.

“I wanna start training again with you all tomorrow!” She said.

“Of course you can! Just make sure you’re properly rested and taking care of your body, okay?” Ivy said.

“Yes Mommy.” Paige replied, and Ivy giggled.

Her caregiver kissed her on the lips. “Good girl.” She said earnestly. Paige could feel the love radiating off her.

“I love you. I love you both.” She said to Ivy and Skylar.

Paige turned to Emma. “Thank you.” She said to the older woman.

“You’re very welcome dear. You belong here.” Emma said, an affectionate smile on her face.

Paige hummed happily. She was really grateful to Emma for helping her get out of the funk she’d been stuck in over the past few days.

It was good to love again, to feel happy again.

She was still somewhat worried about Mathias and The Enforcer, but since her talk with Emma the other day, and her girlfriends yesterday, she felt reassured.

She still didn’t know if they were going to be able to win, but she did trust them, she knew that.

With how much more powerful Gemma, Ivy, and the rest of the guild were getting, plus the addition of Belle working with them, it seemed they might have a chance.

And after talking with them properly, she was sure of their resolve. She trusted them to protect her, and to uplift her so she could protect herself too.

She knew next time that they’d all be prepared, herself included. She knew what cruelty and malice looked like on a human being now. She knew what to expect, and so did they all.

Standing next to the people she trusted, she had renewed faith in their ability to fight, and even perhaps win.

And even if they didn’t, she was going to make damned sure that she enjoyed every last moment she had with these girls.

She loved them all like nothing else, and she was done letting her fear rule her. She would cherish every moment, and fight her hardest in two weeks time to make sure that she could spend many more years treasuring them all.

Their love deserved to prevail.

Her thoughts shifted to Emma and Lena. The two of them had been a welcome addition to the guild, their energy certainly having made things more lively around the castle, as the playful argument between Lena and Mia could attest to.

Paige knew that she was developing a crush on Emma. How could she not? She was a caring and beautiful older woman who seemed to know exactly how to help her deal with her emotions, even though Paige herself had never experienced them before.

She was dependable and protective of the people she cared about. Emma reminded Paige of Ivy in some ways.

That the two of them were both dominant was a part of it, but they were different. That difference was partially expressed in their chosen combat styles.

Ivy was a healer primarily. She was getting more and more powerful in plant magic, and while that helped her play a supportive role in what Gemma called crowd control, she was still primarily a healer.

Ivy lifted others up and took care of people by supporting them. In combat, by healing them, and emotionally, by supporting people to be the best version of themselves.

Ivy and Gemma’s relationship worked so well because they complemented each other like that. Gemma knew exactly what she wanted to be and do, and Ivy helped her in being and doing what she wanted to.

Emma was different. She was a protector, which made being what Gemma called a tank, a really obvious choice for the Sapphic Knight’s combat role.

She wanted to be in the front lines, making sure nothing bad would happen to people like Paige, and her girlfriend Lena.

Emma guided people emotionally, which also made sense, considering her job. Paige had seen her working occasionally, though Emma had said because the outside world was basically moving in slow motion, thanks to Elsa, she really didn’t need to do much.

It mostly amounted to sending a few emails instructing the people she managed on how to handle certain cases. Paige could see herself wanting to work in a similar field, after having seen Emma do it.

It was noble work, doing casework for disadvantaged kids. Many of them were queer and neurodivergent, often falling through the cracks in most other systems.

Emma made sure none of them were left behind. She did her absolute best to make sure they had the guidance and support they needed for a better life, whatever that might be.

Paige really respected and admired her for that.

Emma brought mom friend energy to both her professional and personal life, and Paige really liked that about her.

She wondered how their friendship would develop. She looked forward to finding out.

As the good natured argument between Lena and Mia reached its endpoint, with Mia conceding to let Lena put on Sleeping Beauty, it was easy to see that the two of them had a lot of chemistry too.

And from the way Elsa and Mia cuddled up together as the movie started to play, Paige was pretty sure they had something going on between them as well.

Paige did wonder how everything was going to turn out. She trusted that whatever happened, it would be good.

As they all settled in for the movie, slowly eating the snacks and drinking the hot chocolate that Ivy and Emma had prepared for them all, Paige felt Skylar’s hand squeeze one of her boobs.

Paige turned to Skylar, a smirk on her face. “What was that for?” She asked, amusement ringing clear in her voice.

“Nothing. Just getting comfortable.” Skylar said, her face a mask of innocence.

“Get as comfortable as you want.” Paige replied contentedly.

“Really?” Skylar asked, her hand slowly roaming around Paige’s body.

Her heart rate quickened, her body starting to come alive at her girlfriend’s touch.

Skylar traced her fingers over Paige’s shoulders, her boobs, her tummy, and started to massage her thighs gently.

They were both looking at the TV, but neither one of them was actually paying attention to the movie.

Paige’s breathing quickened, and she struggled to stay still.

“What’s on your mind?’ Skylar whispered in her ear.

Paige shuddered at the feeling of her lover’s breath on her ear and down her neck.

“I like what you’re doing. Please don’t stop.” Paige breathed back.

“Well, if you insist.” Skylar joked, squeezing Paige’s thighs.

Paige let out a small gasp, she couldn’t help herself.

Ivy looked over at the two of them with a knowing grin, before turning back to the movie.

Skylar wrapped both of her arms around Paige, and began to fondle her tits through her top.

Paige’s breath caught in her throat. God, why was she so sensitive?!

She had to catch herself from moaning when Skylar pinched her nipples. It came out as a tiny whimper instead.

“You’re so cute!” Skylar whispered in her ear, kissing her cheek.

“So are you!” Paige whispered back, turning to her girlfriend and kissing her.

My, how she’d missed this. She hadn’t realised how much, and it had only been a few days, but she really had missed having sex with the women she loved.

“Wanna take this to the bedroom?” Skylar asked.

“Yes please!” Paige whispered.

The two of them got up from the couch, throwing questioning looks to Mia, Ivy and Gemma. The three of them declined.

“Have fun cuties!” Mia said, giggling.

And so the two of them headed out of the living room and up the stairs towards the bedroom, barely being able to keep their hands off one another.
