A/N: I'd like to thank thisbipath, AndreaFg, carsonfan, IloveSweden, The Talent and vauseisgoddess for their kind words. Of course, big thanks go to all the anonymous reviewers as well. Thanks so much for the support. You guys are amazing.
A guest asked me if I had Tumblr and the answer is no, but I could make one about my story (stories). Would you be interested in that? I could answer questions and give sneak peaks of upcoming chapters. Let me know by writing a review.
"You look gorgeous." Alex said as I took her hand and let her lead me to the carriage, all while trying to walk subtly so the silks that covered my parts, didn't move too much.
"Thank you. But allow me to say that you, your Majesty, look breathtaking." Her black tight dress, pushed her breasts in all the right ways and her toned legs, visible through the slips, were a sight of their own. If looks could kill…
"That's awfully kind of you, Piper." She told me with a smile, helping me into the carriage.
"May I ask what I'll be doing?" I asked her some time after the carriage had started.
"You'll be my date." Alex said as if it was the simplest thing in the world. "You'll do as I say and
you won't ask too many questions."
I nodded, trying to control my fear and not let it overwhelm me.
…
We walked in the big hall and it was the most extravagant thing I had seen. It was like I had imagined it to be; just a bit darker. Lords and Ladies were all over the place dressed in outfits that must have cost a fortune- however, I was the only one wearing such a revealing outfit.
Alex immediately joined the company of three Lords, who drank a lot and laughed loudly. She sat down and gestured me to sit on her lap. While she talked, her hands roamed all over my body, stroking my bare thighs, my abdomen and even brushing over my breasts sometimes. I didn't want to admit how good I felt. "Will you go get me some champagne, dear?"
"Of course, your Majesty." I told her, getting up and moving to the buffet. I hadn't seen more food gathered in the same place in my life. I didn't know more than half of those things, but the champagne was fairly easy to find. "Here you are." I said politely, giving Alex the glass and then sitting on her lap again.
"Thanks." She said and kissed my neck, gently nibbling with the skin, while her hands found their way back to my thighs. It was then when I finally understood that I was her plaything. You won't ask many questions, she had said to me. The part of me that thought that I would really be her date felt stupid.
"What do you think Tybaut will do?" One of the lords asked her, making her sigh.
"I'm not sure. But I don't think that it will be pretty." With that, Alex got her hand under the silk that covered my front, making every muscle in my body tense as she rested it on my lady parts. "He is mad and ambitious, a very scary combination." She said, running her finger up my folds making me moan at the strange, but pleasant feeling.
I only understood how loud I was, when I saw that every lord's and Alex's eyes were fixated on me. With a wicked smirk she told them, "Well, someone is very eager tonight. You'll have to excuse me." We got up and she wrapped a hand around my waist. "Let's go." Alex whispered into my ear, biting my earlobe.
She took my hand and we started walking through the halls, even though after some time it felt like running. Alex finally stopped in front of two big doors, similar to her bedroom's but not as elegant. She pushed them open and we hurried in. "I normally don't do this." She told me, pushing me onto the bed. "But, Piper, you are drenched." Like an animal, she hopped onto the bed herself and approached me.
"What do you mean?"
Alex laughed, pushing the silk aside. "I've never seen someone as wet as you are right now." She opened my legs and then leaned towards my lady parts, bringing her face dangerously close.
"Why am I wet?" I asked, moaning at the feeling of her hot breath against me. Why did it feel good?
She looked up, her eyes turning from playful to serious. "Piper, what do you know about sex?" She asked and I was unsure why she brought that up now.
"When a husband and a wife want to have children they lie together." I told her, reciting just what my mother had told me not long ago.
"And…?"
"The husband will know what to do."
"That's all you know?"
"Pretty much."
She sighed and closed my legs, covering me with the silk again. "Remind me when we get back at my palace to have you educated about that."
"Wait- where are you going?" I didn't want her to leave and without thinking caught her hand.
Instead of jerking it away, Alex smiled. "I have to get some business done. You stay here. Don't open the door to anyone." She commanded me and I nodded to show I understood her. Then, as if she was smoke, she vanished.
I didn't know how to get time to pass more quickly, so I just lay on the bed staring at the ceiling. There were two huge bookcases in the room, but I didn't know how to read, so they were useless to me. I closed my eyes and waited.
….
"I'm back." The familiar husky voice said, making me open my eyes.
"Did everything go alright?"
"It's kind of complicated, but thanks for asking." She told me with a bitter smile, taking my hand. "Let's get back, shall we?"
The ride with the carriage was silent, but not awkward. I spent a major part of it looking at the starry night, which looked beautiful. Even better than it did at my house and I wondered if it was because of magic.
"You like the sky?" Alex asked me.
"Very much. It's so majestic." I told her, turning to look at her.
"I'm glad you like something here."
I scoffed. "I thought we had gotten over that- I like many things here."
With one of her signature smirks, she asked, "Care to give any examples?"
I knew where she was taking it and I smiled. "The gardens are beautiful," she nodded, "Red and Lorna are very nice to me- Nicky too."
"That's all?" Alex asked with a seductive voice, but I could sense the hint of insecurity underneath it.
"You are not that bad, I guess…" I said with a sigh, fighting to hide my smile when she gasped in shock.
"Not that bad? I'm honored, Piper Chapman."
"Oh come on, you know exactly the effect you have on people."
She leaned forward, invading my personal space. "What about the effect I have on you?"
"I'm pretty sure you are very aware of that, too." I said, and to my good luck, the carriage stopped, indicating that our ride was over. She wouldn't be able to further this conversation. Not now at least. "Goodnight, your Majesty." I told her, stepping out of the carriage and almost running into the palace.
…
Two servants had helped me bathe and change to a nightgown, but Lorna was nowhere to be seen. When I asked them about her whereabouts they said that they didn't know much, but she would probably be gone for tonight.
I was met with two choices- I could either go to bed super early or, I could go to Alex. She hadn't called for me, so I didn't know if I was even allowed, but that didn't stop my feet from moving on their own and bringing me in front of her bedroom doors.
"C-can I go in?" I asked the guards, my voice shaky. What the hell was I doing?
"Her Majesty didn't ask for you. In fact, she asked to not be bothered for tonight."
"Could you maybe ask her?" I tried again, biting my lip.
They didn't answer and I turned to walk away when the doors opened from the inside. "Come in." Alex said and the guards stepped aside as I walked in the room. She was wearing a night gown as well, though hers was way more revealing. "To what do I owe the visit?"
I shrugged, not knowing the answer myself. "I was lonely." I missed you.
Alex smiled. "And you thought, the queen of darkness will keep my company in the middle of the night." Her tone was playful.
"No… I thought Alex would."
"And what can Alex do for you?" She asked me, sitting on her bed.
"Talk to me?" I asked, unsure.
"Sure." Alex patted the bed next to her. "Get comfortable." I followed her advice and laid on the bed next to her. "What do you want to talk about?"
"Tell me about your relationship with Nicky." Lorna had said they were very close.
"I met Nicky almost a century ago-" I gasped and she laughed. Was she that old? "-she was the daughter of King Gifford, who was long dead by the time we met. She was cursed, or gifted, whichever you prefer, just like me. We became instant friends- she was the reason I was ambitious enough to create this. After some years, we tried to turn our relationship into something sexual, but we decided that being best friends was better." Alex paused and looked down. "Nicky was the first person I met that was like me. She made me feel like I wasn't the monster I had always felt like."
I felt my heart break into a million pieces for Alex. I had been ordinary all my life. A poor village girl just like most girls around me. It must have been very hard to be an outcast, to be considered a monster, an abomination for all your life. "You are not a monster, Alex. You are special." I told her believing ever word that came out of my mouth.
She smiled and I could see the tears that formed in her eyes. "Thank you, Piper. That means so much to me." Alex blinked a few times and the tears were gone, but I could still feel the pain that she had been through all of those years. Changing the tone of her voice into something more casual she said, "If I were you, I would take my hand away now."
Only then I noticed that my hand had moved on its own and had rested on her bare thigh. "Sorry." I apologized, quickly pulling it away.
Alex smirked. "It's not that I don't want it there. It's that you wouldn't be able to handle the consequences if you kept stroking my thigh like that." I looked at her, my eyes showing my confusion and that made her laugh. I didn't care if she was making fun of me because her laughs had become my favorite kind of music. "Gods, I forgot that you are oblivious to sex."
"It's not my fault that nobody taught me." I whined. "Which reminds me that you promised to educate me."
"I said I would have someone educate you. I'm not having the talk with you, Piper."
"Why not?"
"Because…" It was the first time I had witnessed her struggling to find the right words. "Because."
"Is the great Alex Vause scared?" I teased her, uncertain if I was taking it too far.
She scoffed, rolling her eyes. "Ask away."
A million questions raced through my head, making it hard to choose one. "Why was I wet?" It was one of the those that troubled me the most.
"Because you wanted me." Alex said with the most seductive eyes I had ever seen.
"To…?"
She burst out laughing. "Dear god, Piper." She shook her head while continued laughing. "You wanted me to fuck you."
Not wanting to talk about the fact that my body wanted Alex in that way, I said, "B-but you can't. You don't have a penis, do you?"
Alex leaned forward as if to tell me a secret. "I don't need a penis to make you scream."
"No, you could easily do that with a sword." I joked making her laugh again.
"I can have sex with you using my fingers-" She held them up, wiggling them slightly, "-or tongue." With that, she trusted her tongue inside the V her finger had shaped, making me involuntarily shudder.
"But we can't reproduce." I pointed out. That may be the only thing I was certain about.
Alex shook her head. "No, we can't."
"Then why would we be having sex?" All of her answers led to this question. Because it truly didn't make any sense.
"What?" Her brows knitted together in confusion.
"If it hurts for women, why would we do it if not to reproduce?"
"Piper-" Alex caught my hand and our eyes locked. "-sex doesn't hurt. It feels awesome." She softly stroked my palm making me smile at the contact. "Don't you remember how you felt at the ball?"
"That was sex?" I asked shyly.
"I was touching your lady parts. What do you think I was doing?" She asked me with a grin she was trying to hide.
"I thought sex was penetration." Another wrong piece of information by my mother.
"Sex is so many other wonderful things." She told me, eyes never moving from each other. "But penetration does play a major part in it."
"And doesn't that hurt?" I always thought sex was a responsibility, something I had to do for my husband, but Alex made it seem like the greatest thing in this world.
"Okay, penetration may hurt a little the first time but after that it's painless. If it's done correctly, of course." She brought my hand up and kissed it. "And I always do it correctly." I chuckled. "That was not meant to be funny." Alex was trying very hard to keep her serious face on and keep herself from bursting out laughing.
"No?" I asked innocently. "I just heard a few complaints from girls around the palace and thought-" Before I could finish my sentence, Alex had me pinned down on the bed. "Tell the girls that complained to come here tomorrow night."
I could sense she was joking, but still, I asked, "Will you hurt them?"
"Nope, I'll just fuck them so good that you will be able to hear them moan from your room." My breath hitched at her words- my room was at the end of the hallway and trust me, that was a very long way.
"What will you do to me for spreading false rumors?"
Alex smirked, downing her face inches above mine. "What do you want me to do?"
"Whatever you seem fit." I knew I was swimming in dangerous waters, but this game we were playing was simply so much fun.
"You seem tired." She said, changing the subject.
"Is that a polite way of telling me to get the hell out of your room?"
"No. It's a polite way of telling you that you can barely keep your eyelids open." Alex let go of my hands and rolled to my side.
"That's not true." I protested, even though she was kind of right- I felt exhausted. I didn't want to stop talking to her.
"You can go to sleep, Piper. I'll be here tomorrow. And the day after that." She said reassuringly as if she read my thoughts.
"I'm not holding off sleep because of you." I lied.
"Whatever you say, dear."
We were lying extremely close to each other, to a point where our shoulders touched and I could feel every breath she took. Without putting much thought into it, I leaned a little bit closer to her and then closed my eyes.
A/N: I hoped you enjoyed this. The sex talk had to happen for them to get involved in the future since Piper knew nothing. Leave your thoughts and suggestions in the review section. Your feedback means the world to me.
