B is for birthday suit…
Olivia always had the same request for her birthday—time alone with Alex—and this birthday was going to be no different. They could have taken a day trip or gone out to dinner, but Olivia refused. After a particularly trying case, Olivia was feeling mentally and emotionally exhausted and all she wanted was a night of seclusion with her girlfriend.
Olivia's wish was Alex's command and, with some help from her friends (the ones who actually approved of her relationship with Olivia), she came up with the perfect plan for her girlfriend's birthday. She had been given a key to Olivia's apartment and she was finally going to put it to use.
Alex arrived at her girlfriend's apartment and was greeted by the sight of dirty dishes piled up in the sink. Realizing there was still an hour before Olivia was expected to arrive, Alex decided to clean up for her. Usually, Alex couldn't fathom dating someone who didn't do their dishes on a daily basis, but Olivia was different. Olivia's schedule was as hectic as hers if not more so. There were days when Olivia didn't even have an opportunity to sleep, so tasks like washing dishes were trivial in comparison.
When all of her dishes were washed and put away, Alex went to Olivia's bedroom to work on her surprise. As expected, her bedroom was immaculate; there were no clothes on the floor and her bed was perfectly made. Alex had once asked Olivia why she insisted on her bedroom being so perfect and she had revealed it's because that's where the two of them are intimate with each other and where they had first gone from having casual sex to making love. Alex thought about that night as she laid on top of her girlfriend's bed. Olivia had been the first to say it—she was always the first to initiate each step in their relationship and it was something Alex was still learning how to accept. Olivia had wrapped her arms around her as Alex was recovering from an orgasm brought on by her girlfriend's skilled tongue when Olivia started planting kisses on her neck. Alex's strength was spent and she was secretly hoping her girlfriend wasn't expecting round two, but instead of letting her hands roam Alex's body like they usually did, Olivia whispered the words "I love you" into Alex's ear. Alex knew in her heart that she had the same feelings for Olivia, but she hesitated to say it in return for fear that it would sound like a reflex. Alex had waited two years for that moment, two years of planning the perfect response, but all she could do was smile and say that she loved her too. She was grateful when her girlfriend noticed the sincerity in her response and the two of them fell asleep embracing each other tighter than ever before.
With that memory still playing in her mind, Alex went over to the shopping bag she had brought that held everything she needed for Olivia's birthday surprise. She got three rose-scented candles out of her bag and strategically placed them on the nightstand so the two of them would still be able to see each other even if the lights were off. She lit the candles immediately so the scent would fill the room by the time Olivia arrived. She then grabbed a small bag of rose petals and started placing them in a way that would form a trail from her apartment door to her bed. Alex had worried about it being cheesy or overdone, but having a key to Olivia's apartment made her feel as if they had taken their relationship to a new level and, because of that, Alex was willing to be a little over the top for her woman.
Her girlfriend was due home in less than ten minutes, so Alex started putting the final touches on Olivia's birthday surprise. She unbuttoned her blouse and neatly placed it in the shopping bag, followed by her pants and her undergarments. Alex had debated wearing lingerie, but she didn't want any part of her body hidden from Olivia. Alex contemplated how to position herself on Olivia's bed and the moment she heard Olivia unlock the apartment door, she decided to lie on her side with her head resting on her hand.
"Alex?" Olivia called out, but Alex didn't respond.
Alex's heart started to race when she heard her girlfriend following the trail. Instead of planning the rest of the night, Alex wanted to gauge Olivia's reaction to her being naked on her bed. Were they going to cuddle? Were they going to make love? Alex knew it would probably be a combination of both, but she still wondered what pace they would go at.
"Happy birthday," Alex said softly the moment she saw her girlfriend. Olivia's reaction was one Alex hadn't expected. Her mouth was slightly open and all she could do was stare at Alex. Of all the times Olivia had seen her girlfriend naked, this was the first time she was rendered speechless. Alex mentally patted herself on the back and, when she noticed her girlfriend wasn't making a move, she decided to make her way over to her.
She removed Olivia's shirt and let it fall to the ground, followed by her bra. This wasn't what Alex had in mind, but she needed that skin-to-skin contact with the woman she loved.
"I wasn't expecting this," Olivia said as she ran her fingertips along Alex's back. Alex never understood how, but just a simple touch from Olivia was enough to make her completely feral. She began fumbling with Olivia's belt until Olivia sensed her frustration and removed it for her along with every stitch of clothing she was still wearing.
Before Alex realized what they were doing, they had ended up in their usual position; Olivia on top with Alex's legs spread underneath. Although she'd rather have her girlfriend's entire body pressed against her, she didn't mind when Olivia insisted on using her arms to support her upper body because it gave her the perfect opportunity to focus on her girlfriend's strong, but loving arms, the same arms that were going to be embracing her when they were both exhausted from making love.
Not once did the two of them break eye contact as they moved in perfect rhythm with each other. For the first time in their relationship, Olivia came with Alex. It wasn't the most mind-blowing orgasm Alex ever had, but it was the most significant. She was now in sync with her girlfriend in every possible way.
