The flight to New York is, thankfully, uneventful, although Tess is half amazed she managed to make it to the airport without a Kandorian escort demanding a minute-by-minute itinerary. The other half is marginally proud.

She's the first to the hotel, which is fine with her. It gives her more time to prepare for any and every possible outcome and Tess is nothing if not obsessed with preparation. Acting isn't as easy when you're caught off guard. It also allows her to convince herself to actually go through with this. It's not like she and Lana Lang are friends.

When Lana does arrives, they exchange slightly awkward pleasantries followed by a more relaxed dinner in one of the hotel's restaurants. Still, the conversation rarely veers toward anything serious, both women keeping a guard up, if only due to their lack of real knowledge of each other. The martinis don't hurt, either.

By the time they retire back to their suite, the air seems to have relaxed between them. Tess pours them both a glass of wine and settles on one of the couches in the lounge area, leaning her head back against the cushions.

She almost feels better already.

"No?" Tess is attempting to sound surprised. It's probably not working.

"I suppose I should admit the same. Now where does that put us?"

[manorsuperman]

Lana brings up a hand to push back a bit of red hair.

"That's a good question."

[have_no_mercy]

Tess' eyes drift shut briefly at the contact, something she so rarely gets.

"Where would you like it to put us?"

[manorsuperman]

Lana's fingers lace through her hair. "Vacations are about indulgence." She kisses her cheek and then just below the ear. "Why not?"

[have_no_mercy]

Why not?

Indulgence isn't something Tess allows herself often, especially of this kind. And this wasn't the intent of their little vacation, though she'd be lying if she said it hadn't at least crossed her mind once or twice.

But then, it isn't called an indulgence for nothing. She runs a hand lightly along Lana's arm and up to cup the other woman's cheek. "Why not."

[manorsuperman]

That's all Lana needs to hear before she kisses her again, deeper this time around.

[have_no_mercy]

She can feel Lana start to close the distance between them, what little there is left of it, but Tess can't say she's completely prepared. It's like nothing she's ever felt before, exquisite and unique and Lana.

Tess returns the kiss eagerly, her own hand moving to tangle in Lana's hair, teasing down the nape of her neck.

[manorsuperman]

Lana pulls Tess closer, wrapping an arm around her. She has to admit this is something like she had in mind when she made the offer, she just hadn't expected it to happen. She wanted an excuse to touch her, but now that she's where she really wanted to be, that seemed rather ridiculous.
