“Prepare to be impressed,” Elin told her and held out her hand.
Ingrid took it, and they walked to the elevator. It took them down to the main floor, where Ingrid let go of Elin’s hand.
“What?” Elin asked.
“People will see.”
“Ingrid, I don’t–” She paused. “I’m okay with people seeing if you are.”
Ingrid nodded and took Elin’s hand back. They walked past a few people who only seemed to care that their Queen was walking down the hall late at night. They bowed and greeted her. Ingrid noticed a few glances at their joined hands, but Elin didn’t seem to be concerned, so Ingrid wasn’t, either. When they got to the kitchen, it was thankfully deserted.
“Okay. I’m thinking cheese,” Elin said.
“What?” Ingrid laughed.
“Cheese and fruit. I can find some wine, too.”
“Wine?”
“Yeah, we could have a little date in here.”
Ingrid smiled and watched as Elin moved to the giant refrigerator. She pulled out a few types of cheese and then strawberries and blueberries.
“White or red?” Elin asked.
“Coffee?” Ingrid asked instead.
“Yes, I can make you coffee,” Elin replied, sounding excited. “I know how the machine works.”
Ingrid laughed. Then, she watched as Elin made her a cup of coffee, placed it in front of Ingrid, and grabbed a couple of plates. She sliced some cheese and plated some fruit. Finally, she put everything back in the fridge and turned around to face her.
“Will this be okay?”
“Thisis perfect,” Ingrid said.
“Thank you for coming over.”
“I didn’t really do it for you,” Ingrid replied. “I wanted to see you.”
“Still, thank you.”
Ingrid finally took in her girlfriend. She hadn’t noticed at first because Elin had breezed right into the room and hugged her. Then, they’d walked down the hall side by side, and Ingrid had been nervous about their hand-holding.
“Wow,” Ingrid said softly.
“What?”
“You look great,” Ingrid replied.
Elin was wearing black slacks with a light-blue button-down shirt. She also had on those very dangerous suspenders.
“Oh, thank you,” Elin said. “I had a jacket on earlier, but I took it off during the second round of boring after-dinner drinks, and I must have left it–”
Ingrid moved into her and kissed her. It was slow, but she kissed her hard and deep. Ingrid’s hands moved from where they cupped Elin’s face to around Elin’s neck. Elin’s were around Ingrid’s waist now, pulling Ingrid in closer. Ingrid backed Elin up until she was pressed against the stainless-steel island in the middle of the room, and her lips moved to Elin’s neck. She breathed her in and continued kissing her as Elin’s hands moved to Ingrid’s shirt and pulled it out of her jeans.
“Ingrid…” she breathed out.
“I want you,” Ingrid told her. “You’re wearing those suspenders,” she added in a whisper against her ear.
