David Hatter and the Power of Yoga

Author's Note: This story was born out of e-mail conversations regarding Hatter, as he acclimates himself in Alice's world. Much of the stuff talked about here is not meant to be taken seriously. It's going to be a short four chapter story, much along the lines of The Purity Test. I wanted to thank those of you who have recently discovered Firsts, and have been reviewing, as well as those who have favorited my other stories. A big thanks for this story goes to Lady Irish Rose who has been a great contributor for many scenes, as well as Brumeier who wanted to see Bad Hatter, again. Hope everybody enjoys this, and please review!

Chapter One: Down Dog

She breathed in; exhaling as she stretched her long limbs out onto the green mat. Her heels were firmly on the floor, and her legs started to shake as she quietly counted to ten.

Alice opened her eyes, and saw the brown toed boots crossed behind her. "All ready for me, I see," he said, a hint of teasing coming through his voice.

Hatter eyed the curve of her ass. It strained through the confines of her tight blue shorts; the round ends of her butt cheeks peeking out momentarily as she flexed. He walked behind her, and reached his hand out till it grazed the small of her back.

She stumbled as she righted herself up; panting heavily. "You made me lose my concentration."

"Good." He chuckled. "What are you even doing here?"

"Um, doing right now, or doing at your place?"

"Both." Hatter's eyes twinkled.

"I had a bad day at school, I just…" Alice shrugged. "I had that meeting with my thesis advisor…that sucked. Got my paper back on the Arthurian legends class I'm taking for English…not even going to talk about that."

"Ah." Hatter wrapped his arms around her. "So, you decided to come here so I could make you feel better, yeah?"

"No."

"Oh." He let his shoulders slump in disappointment as he watched her walk into the kitchen. "No?"

She opened the fridge, and took out her water bottle that she had put in when she arrived. "I came here because I thought you were going to be at work."

"Oh."

"Yeah, what are you doing here anyways? I thought you were on till seven," Alice said.

"Oh, no. I just switched some…so, you really didn't come here to see me?"

Alice shook her head, smiling at his hurt expression. "I had a bad day, so all I wanted to do was have some peace and quiet, light some candles, and just give myself over to yoga for an hour." She took a long sip of the water. "I went home, but Mom was getting stuff set for her book group so…"

"So…that wasn't some big plan to seduce me? You raising your bum in the air like that?"

"Is that what you thought?"

"I…may have hoped that." He chuckled uneasily.

She giggled. "No. I needed to stretch out…de-stress."

"So…that's what de-stressing is for you?" Hatter ran his finger over the small sliver of exposed skin between her top and shorts. "I can think of some other ways."

"Oh, like what?"

He pursed his lips. "Oh, like taking your clothes off, um-"

"No! I find yoga to be very relaxing. I think it helps me to clear my mind, just to focus on the moves, and the way it works my body." Alice nodded. "It's different from doing judo. There I'm watching everyone, I'm making sure that every step is done just right, and everybody is following instructions." She took a deep breath, and closed her eyes. "Afterwards, I feel all loose, limp; at peace."

Hatter raised his eyebrows. "Uh huh. Right, well, you know in Wonderland, we had a different way of achieving that."

"Oh?"

"Well, two ways," he amended. "One, have a bloody mind blowing orgasm."

Alice rolled her eyes. "Mmm hmm, and, two?"

"Take Peace Tea."

"Well, since that was pretty much like taking drugs…I'm just going to say, not the best idea."

"Well," Hatter shrugged, "I didn't say the ideas were all that brilliant."

"I think you should try yoga sometime. I'm telling you, yoga, a little massage, some reiki…you'll feel amazing," Alice enthused.

"Um, I'm down for the massage, but, what the bloody hell is reiki?"

"It's…" she shook her head. "It's too complicated to get into right now. Look, why don't I demonstrate some of the yoga positions?"

Hatter smirked. "You know that I'm just going to be thinking bad thoughts, yeah?"

Alice narrowed her eyes. "Yoga is not about sex, mister!"

"Uh huh," he drawled out, following her into the living room. "You don't have any candles out."

"Oh. I forgot mine at home, and I didn't think you had any."

"I don't." He grinned, flashing his dimples. "Move in with me, and I'll have candles for you everyday."

Alice gave him a shy smile. "I'm still in school." She got down on the mat, lying on her stomach, and pushed up off her arms, sticking her chest out. "This one is called up dog, and see, I can lead it into the one you saw, down dog." Alice pressed up off the floor, and moved her legs back.

Hatter stared at her, letting his gaze traverse over the muscles in her calves, and thighs until he stopped at her ass. He watched it flex as she held herself up, and he swallowed; forcing himself not to run over and touch her.

"And, this one can actually be kind of hard at first," Alice was saying as she braced herself into a standing position.

"Um…what?" he croaked out.

She chuckled. "Pay attention, you may learn something." Alice set the sole of her right foot on her left thigh, and rotated the knee out. She lifted her hands above her head, and glanced at him. "This one is called tree."

"Doing this stuff helps you relax?" Hatter asked suspiciously, circling around her.

"Yeah. God knows that I need that every now and then." Alice lifted her right leg up in front of her, grabbing the big toe with her fingers. Hatter let out a soft whimper as he watched her bring her leg higher in the air. "This one took me a while to get."

"Fuck," he whispered, looking down to where the outline of her panties was visible through her shorts.

Alice bent down, placing her hands firmly on the sticky mat, as she kicked one leg straight behind her. Hatter felt his crotch area tighten as he maneuvered behind her. He ran his fingers along the small arc of her hips, and down to her thighs.

"Fuck," he muttered again.

Alice craned her neck around to look at him. "Hatter! This is serious stuff!"

"I…I am serious." He exhaled forcefully. "Wow."

She lowered her leg. "I'll show you a couple more…if you can behave. I do want to get in some kind of workout."

"I wouldn't mind getting in a workout either."

"Hatter!" Alice blushed. "You know, I think I might just go to the gym, and run this off on the treadmill if you can't behave."

Hatter lifted his hands up in surrender. "I can behave!"

"Okay. You better!" she exclaimed, waving a finger at him. She grinned as she lay on her back, and spread her legs apart as she pushed her butt off the ground, grabbing her ankles with her hands. "This is a baby bridge."

Hatter groaned, and threw his hat down to the ground. He slid in between Alice's thighs, resting his hands on the band of her shorts. "Baby bridge? Looks more like a position for making babies."

Alice's eyes widened as the pink color rushed to her cheeks, and she covered her open mouth with her hands. "Hatter!"

"I'm not saying that we'll do that now, of course." He bent his head down so his stubble scraped at her thighs. "But, I think practice is needed."

"Of yoga?" Alice asked. She swallowed; her throat suddenly dry.

"Among other things." His dark eyes glinted at her as he started to pull his gray shirt up over his head.

"There's a couples yoga," she panted, her legs threatening to buckle under her as Hatter slowly started to tug her shorts and panties down.

"Hmmmm." Hatter winked. "I think that could be dangerous." He stood up, and quickly undid his trousers, taking his boxers along with them. "I'm just going to want to touch you everywhere."

"That's kind of the point." Alice watched as Hatter's erection sprang free. "I have one more position to show you."

"Oh?"

Alice placed her arms above her head, and lowered the incline of her body down. She linked the bottoms of her feet together, and opened her legs. "This is called reclining goddess. It's supposed to help with your sex life by opening up your hips."

Hatter shook. He could make out the soft slits of her pussy; and his cock twitched. "Is that so?" he finally managed to get out.

"I don't know if it's true or not. Haven't ever tried it out," she said bashfully.

He bit his lip, and leaned back over her. He moved her legs behind him so they wrapped around his back. "I don't recall this ever happening on Peace Tea."

They both gasped, shuddering as he slid inside her. "Just so you know, you can't do this in couples yoga class," Alice said.

"Too bad, because I can't just touch you."

"We can have sex after the class."

"Alice…" Hatter shook his head, and struggled to control himself as he moved around within her. Her inner heat was proving to be too intense for him, and every time he thrust to find relief, it only brought him closer.

His cock throbbed, urging him to speed up. "Hatter…"

He reared up, taking Alice's calves in his hands, and split them open; her toes pointed out as each new plunge brought a wave of pleasure over her body. "I've been thinking about you all day," Hatter muttered.

"Oh…oh, yeah?" she panted.

"The seeing you like that, with your tight, perfect bum up in the air like that…" Hatter grunted.

"You liked it?"

"I loved it." He squinted his eyes shut for a moment before they flashed open. Alice gasped as Hatter tightened his hold on her legs, and their skin slapped roughly against each other. "Alice. Alice. Alice. Aliceeeeeeeeeee," he moaned.

Hatter dropped her legs clumsily down on the mat, as he wrapped his arms around her back. "I've never had sex on a yoga mat before," Alice said quietly.

He chuckled. "Admit it, Alice. It was your intention all along."

She giggled, and pushed him off. "No, it wasn't. I just wanted to have a quiet space to do yoga."

"Move in with me, and you'll always have a quiet space."

Alice curled up next to him, slinging her leg over his thigh. "I can only do it when you're at work. Unless, you think you can hold off on having sex with me as I work out."

Hatter tapped his finger to his lips as if he was in serious thought. "That might be a problem."

"Mmm hmm. You know, there's this off shoot kind of thing of yoga, called tantric sex. I, well, I only read a little bit about it, but, supposedly by doing this practice, you can hold off your orgasm for hours, you know, make the foreplay really las-"

"Oi! Wait, hold up!" Hatter sat up. "Look, the only reason why that one was so quick was because we haven't had sex in three days."

"No, I wasn't saying-"

"And, furthermore," Hatter was standing up now, his hands on his hips. "I realize that in the six months that we've been together that the sex hasn't lasted much longer than an hour, but, let me add, that we did not have sex for the first month-"

"Well, I wasn't just going to jump into bed with you!"

"No. I mean, yes…I mean, no, of course not. That would've been bad, I mean…good."

"Hatter…"

He started pacing around. "I have stamina, Alice. Just because I'm not being fueled by Tea now doesn't mean that I can't go for hours. Just ask Daphne."

"Who?"

"This…this girl in Wonderland. I mean, we made it last for six hours, and I know-"

Alice stood up now, her eyes widening. "Six hours? You know, I don't even want to talk about this."

"She doesn't matter." Hatter waved the thought away. "I don't need this tannic-"

"Tantric."

"Whatever. I don't need it." He walked into the kitchen, and began to set up his afternoon tea.

"Well, I didn't say that-"

"Oi! And furthermore…again," Hatter added, shaking the tea bag in front of her face. "I will try this yoga stuff out with you, just to show you that I don't need it, and that there are many other, and better, ways of 'de-stressing,'" he continued, using air quotes. "Believe me, no more five minute sex sessions again!"

Alice stifled a laugh as she followed him into the kitchen. "So…you're saying that you'll take a yoga class with me?"

"Look, you Oysters may need to do these kinds of things to help yourselves out, but, I'm from Wonderland."

"Have you thought that maybe the reason why you guys were so stressed out there was because you didn't have an outlet besides the Teas?" she asked.

Hatter paused. "Alice, I love you, but…I don't think the Queen of Hearts was beheading people because she didn't have yoga in her life."


Author's Note: Up next, Hatter takes a yoga class! So, what did you think?
