PROLOGUE

Alex moaned as she collapsed onto the dirty blonde haired woman below her.

"Oh my God," the girl whimpered, still trying to get her breath from their most recent activity.

Alex couldn't help the small chuckle that escaped her lips and she pulled her head from the girls' neck, "better than him?"

The younger of the two nodded her head with a sly grin, "but I think you already knew that."

Alex smiled smugly, "well you know, just had to check."

The other girl laughed lightly before she leaned up to capture Alex' kiss-swollen lips. Alex moaned as their tongues met in the briefest encounter.

"God, you're so good at that," the older blonde spoke breathlessly as they pulled away.

Her lover only smiled, "am I better than Jodie?"

Alex grinned, "she hasn't gotten me off in awhile, baby."

Now it was the other girl's turn to be smug, she grinned and kissed Alex once more, this time just a peck on the lips, "well I know I got you off."

"More than once too," Alex kissed her again.

Their kisses seemed to go on forever until Marissa pulled back and looked into the searing blue orbs of Alex' eyes. Alex gave a slight smile as she peered back into the girls' bluish-green ones, "what is it baby?"

"Alex…I…I love you…I don't wanna be with him anymore, I wanna be with you," she admitted to the blonde above her.

Alex pulled back slightly, shock written on her face. She crawled off the lanky blonde and sat up in the bed, holding the sheet to her chest. Worry washed over the girl in the bed and she sat up next to Alex, "I'm sorry, I just…that's how I feel and I thought you should know…"

Alex quieted her with her lips, "shhhh, I love you too. I have since I laid eyes on you two years ago, baby."

"So…what do we do? You're with Jodie and I'm with…"

"I know…I just don't know if I can…"

"She cheated on you, Alex…"

Alex continued studying the girls' face before she responded, "we haven't exactly been faithful to them either, baby."

The girl looked down to the bed then, "he won't even touch me anymore, Alex…and if he does its to yell at me or push me away…"

Alex listened intently as the girl spoke and anger filled her as she heard the last part slip from the girl's lips, "wait, he hurts you?"

The girl nodded her head and wiped at a tear that slipped down her cheek.

"I'll kill him," Alex flipped the covers from her and started to rise from the bed, only to stop when she felt the gentle hand on her arm. She turned back and looked at the girl, not sure why she had stopped her.

"I just want you Alex…you're all I've wanted for the past year. I don't care about him…"

Alex settled back into the bed and she gently cupped the girls soft cheek, "I have to get you out of there before he finds out what we've been doing."

The girl only nodded and leaned into Alex, her arms instantly wrapping around her waist. Alex laid them back onto the bed and held the girl in her arms, her decision finally made up. She ran her hand up and down the girls' arm but stopped as she heard the distinct sound of foot steps coming towards the bedroom, "shit…"

Suddenly the bedroom door opened and the girls face fell as she saw the scene in front of her.

"Jodie!" Alex sat up as the other girl peered up at the now-angered Latina.

Jodie looked between the two women in the bed, "you're cheating on me with Marissa fucking Cooper?"

**Two years later**

"Kevin Volchock you are sentenced to five years in prison." The judge slammed his mallet down on the desk. "Court adjourned." With that, the bulky man stood and left for his chambers.

Kevin seethed in his chair, he turned and glared at the two women at the back of the court room.

Alex and Marissa smiled as their enemy was gone, for good. Alex stood from her seat, held her hand out to Marissa and the two left the now-noisy room.

"Mmm, you are so good at what you do, baby," Marissa purred once the two were in the quiet hallway. She stopped them from walking and slid her lanky arms around her lovers' neck, a sly smile played on her lips.

Alex' own lips tugged into a grin and she couldn't help but kiss the slightly taller girl. "As long as I know you're okay so we can spend the rest of our lives together, I'll do anything."

Marissa smiled shyly and looked to the ground then back up. Alex stroked the girl's hair, her grin not leaving her face. She pulled her closer to her with her hand around her slim waist and kissed her again.

"I'll do anything for you," she whispered, their foreheads pressed together and eyes shut.

"I know, so would I. I love you…more than I've ever loved anyone else in my life," Marissa sighed after she finished speaking, her heart full of love and contentment.

Alex pulled back, her blue orbs now piercing into Marissa's soft face, "I love you too."

Marissa's eyes fluttered open and she couldn't help but smile more as she saw the honesty in her girlfriend's eyes. She bit her lip, once again looked to the ground and back up into her eyes, "promise me we'll always be like this."
