The two women stood face to face in the center of Alex's apartment. Alex ran her fingers through Maggie's hair; internally debating whether or not it was the softest hair she'd ever touched. It was almost magical. Her eyes desperately scanned Maggie's face, memorizing every detail. There was so much she wanted to know. So much she needed to understand about the detective who came hurtling into her life like she had. Not many people were able to make Alex question herself. In any aspect of the word.
Alex placed her hands on either side of the woman's face; pulling her closer, she eagerly pressed her lips against the detective's, slowly parting them, allowing their depths to be explored. Her hands made their way to grip Maggie's shoulders, and a few short seconds later, her hands fumbled for the collar of Maggie's leather jacket's and she fiercely pulled it back, letting it collapse on the living-room floor.
Maggie traced her hands up Alex's back, firmly gripping her shoulders as Alex snaked her arms around the detectives waist, sneaking the tips of her fingers under her belt.
Alex gently placed soft kisses down Maggie's neck as a moan of pleasure escaped her indicating she had found the right spot. Pausing there, she nibbled at the detectives sore neck.
"Umm.." Maggie's breath shook Alex to the core, fuelling her craving. "Ale.." quickly forfeiting under her woman's touch.
As her tongue traced miniature circle upon Maggie's collarbone, her fingers eagerly found their way to the row of buttons centred down the front of her blouse her and she pushed the loose blouse off Maggie's shoulders.
Maggie fumbled forward, knocking the both of them off balance. She quickly gathered herself, taking the opportunity to take control. Her hands set on Alex's waist, leading her backwards toward the sofa.
The two tumbled as one onto the couch behind them. Maggie sank down beneath Alex as she moved quickly to straddled the detective. Her left arm folded tightly behind the woman's neck, holding her as close as humanly possible while gently stroking the exposed bra strap off Maggie's shoulder.
"I guess," Maggie sank her tongue in Alex's mouth, "you," it danced across her lips and she came up for another short breath of air, "weren't that hungry." She gently kissed her chin, moving down, she began to lick her throat.
"Fuck," Maggie whimpered as she exhaled loudly, her body giving in. Maggie jolted her body up, taking control as she twisted beneath the agent, and, in one swift motion, pinned her to the ground.
"Ughh," Alex bit her bottom lip as she slammed against the floor. "Suddenly not so hungry."
Maggie's body was small, but once she pinned you down, you were under her control. For once in Alex's life, she didn't put up a fight, handing the controls over to this woman was something she desperately awaited experiencing.
Maggie's hands teased, sliding under the waistline of Alex's pyjama pants, gripping her bare hips. The need she felt was stronger than any she'd felt in a really long time, if ever at all, and her heart pounded wildly. Maggie slid her right hand slowly along the smooth, hard abs below her, dragging the loose top up to her chest, exposing Alex's very toned stomach while her left hand remained entwined with Alex's; pinned above their heads.
"You know, detective," trying to stifle her quivering breath, "your tactics won't work on me," she bucked her hips up in hopes of shifting Maggie's balance in her favour but the detective lowered herself, leaving nothing but thin fabric between them. "I'm into this kind of thing."
Maggie's eye darkened with a hint of temptation, and in that same moment, the temptation was stifled. She slowly brought herself up to recuperated. Smoothing her hair back, trying to gather her jumbled thoughts.
Alex laid restless in defeat on her rug, shutting her eyes tight before gathering herself and joining Maggie up on the vertical level.
"I'm sorry," she brought her right hand to her mouth, resting her thumb on her bottom lip for a frozen moment, "I don't want to keep throwing you around like this," Maggie rested her hands on Alex's shoulders, "I've just... I haven't had the best track record when it comes to women," she said, dropping her hands at her sides, "I just-I don't want to mess this up like I always do." She paused for a moment. Whether it was to figure out how to word her next sentence or to give Alex a chance to walk away from her before the pain, Maggie didn't really know. Maybe both. Turning on her heels, she began to pace.
"I've never had a relationship last longer than a few months." She began, "the only serious relationship I've had lasted 6 months, and the break up completely destroyed me. God, I don't know what I'm doing," she nervously brushed her hair back, "Alex, all I know is I don't want to lose you. I just want to keep...us. Our bond. But I don't want to keep you from experiencing the great things you'll come to learn in the next few months. I don't want to darken that."
"Maggie, the only thing you've done since walking into my life is shine a light, not only on who I am, but also the kindhearted person I really want to be.
Look, if you want to just be friends," she broke off, forcing her eyes to stare at anything else, just for a moment. This woman can read you like a child's book. Your soul spilt across your face like the an oil painting. Look. Away.
"I can't change that. I can't make you love me if you don't." She walked over to the counter and grabbed one of the open beers that had since gone flat. Maggie looked down at the floor. Her eyes filling quickly, then just as quickly, she blinked the tears away, watching Alex drink her beer.
"I just think it's in your best interest to... explore what else, who else is out there. You deserve a lady who will treat you right. Someone who puts your needs ahead of everything else,"
"Kind of like you're doing right now?" Alex fired as soon as she had the chance.
"I wish I was as good and you make me out to be, Alex, I really do,"
"Listen, Maggie, if my lack of experimenting with other girls is causing you self-doubt, then I'll experiment for myself, but I can assure you there is no one, anywhere, that I can meet who will make me feel the way I do just thinking about you."
"You're getting really sappy on me, Danvers." Maggie tried to lighten the mood.
Alex chuckled.
The two stood face to face. Silence echoed the air.
"You know what, you might be right. Maybe I should just got to a bar, find myself a nice lady and have a one night stand. That might be the right thing to do."
