Okay, so I said Taking Hold was a one shot, but I lied. My editors are so talented that they whipped (haha) this into something vaguely postable. 

So here I give you a smutty sequel. Rating change. Read more on AO3. But here, have an excerpt:

“Like this?” Kara asked quietly, her voice soft but potent in the rising heat of the room. “Is this what you want, Cat?” She lifted her mouth from Cat’s skin and paused with her hand near Cat’s slender throat, just tantalizingly underneath the collar of her shirt.

They were moving achingly slowly, which Cat preferred. She paused for a moment to consider the question. Coming from anyone else, it might sound like cloying sweetness or overt innuendo. From Kara’s lips it was pure innocence, though Cat admitted her current position should eliminate that particular word from the realm of possibility. Either way, Kara truly did need to hear that she was doing exactly what Cat desired.

Cat stroked a reassuring hand along Kara’s outer thigh. “Yes, kitten, you’re doing very well.” The new pet name slipped from Cat’s mouth without conscious effort, but Kara’s eyes got deliciously hazy at its use. Kara slid her hand further inside Cat’s shirt to ghost across her collarbones and gasped at the contact before lowering her mouth to her pulse point once more.

Rating: Teen And Up Audiences

Relationship: Kara Danvers/Cat Grant

Tags: Boss/Employee Relationship, cape!kink, Praise Kink, praise!kink, cape tugging, Cat knows Kara is Supergirl, supercat, sub!Kara, dom!cat, Oneshot, Unresolved Sexual Tension, Tension, Balcony Scene

Summary: For the first time in their professional relationship, Kara slips and admits she needs something - she needs reassurance from the one person who hates giving it. Cat weighs her options, then takes hold of the situation.

Conflicted but confident Cat. Emotionally desperate Kara. Pre-relationship Supercat. 100% praise!kink.

Notes: Thank you to my own #trashbin support system, but particularly @lishesque, @fictorium and @stealthvag for their helpful edits on this one.

Read it on AO3.

“You told me earlier that you needed something. I’d like you to ask for it again.”

Kara’s eyes darted down to Cat’s hand clutching her cape against her knee, then to her own feet, then nervously to Cat’s face.

“I shouldn’t have… I shouldn’t have asked for that,” Kara said.

“That’s not what I asked you, Kara,” Cat said. The name had the desired effect. Kara went almost limp, and finally Cat felt some slack in the cape as Kara leaned imperceptibly closer.

Kara took a deep breath and let it out too quickly. “I asked for you to tell me I did a good job,” she said. Color flooded her cheeks and she couldn’t meet Cat’s eyes.

“That’s what I thought you said,” Cat answered, amusement lightening her tone briefly. “It may have been better for us both if you’d never told me what you wanted. But now that I do know about that particular… need,” she said, and she paused. Kara was still not looking at her. She gave the cape another sharp tug and Kara melted in front of her, finally turning to face her as she spoke. “I’m willing to consider some terms for meeting it. When I deem it appropriate, of course.”
