A/N: Shorter chapter, but faster update. This chapter is definitely rated, so please heed the rating. I hope you all enjoy! I received a review after the last chapter that I wanted to address to clear up any confusion about my characterization. Feel free to just skip ahead to the story if you would like!
It is not my intention to portray any of the characters negatively, in fact, I try to keep it as close to the way they are portrayed in the show as possible. I definitely do not want Santana to come across as a creepy stalker, although I will admit she comes very close in this chapter. However, it is my perception that she is someone who would act first and deal with consequences later. In the show, she is portrayed very much as someone who goes after what they want regardless of consequences (e.g., convincing Brittany that sleeping with her didn't count as cheating on Artie). You may disagree and that is fine, but I just wanted to add a bit more background as to how I am writing the characters in this story. If you have questions about my characterization or elements of the story, I encourage you to PM me! I've very friendly and always happy to address concerns or provide more explanation.
A week had passed since Dani unexpectedly made out with her ex-girlfriend and she finally felt like things were returning to normal. At the start of the week, she'd been bombarded with memories and reminders of the evening and found her thoughts drifting back to what went down in the dressing room. Trying to sustain her attention long enough to actually be productive had been nearly impossible.
The distracting thoughts of Santana became less and less frequent as the week progressed. Dani forced herself to pay attention to her work and spend less time reflecting on her conversation with Santana, wondering where her ex was and what she was doing.
By the time Saturday rolled around, Dani was relieved to be free from the constant thoughts of her ex and was actually able to work with her band members to collaborate on a new song. They were still in the beginning stages of composing, which meant long and frustrating hours were spent holed up in their studio space.
"Can we take a break for dinner?" Pete asked as he put his guitar down and stood up to stretch, "Because I'm about five seconds away from beating the shit out of Toby if he takes another picture of us."
The bassist frowned as he looked over at his band mate, "Dude, I'm just trying to keep our fans in the loop. Nowadays, you have to have a strong social media presence to get anywhere in this industry."
"I swear to god, Toby. If you take another picture and spend five minutes deciding which filter captures your hipster vibe the best, I will smack you," Pete warned, pointing a finger at the other man.
"Alright, calm down," Dani glanced between her band members, "Pete, why don't you and Max go pick up Chinese food. Toby, finish doing whatever the hell you're doing to those pictures - but those are the last ones tonight, okay?"
The guys begrudgingly agreed, Max and Pete grabbed their jackets and left while Toby busied himself with his phone.
Dani knew the stress of a long day was getting to everyone, but she was tired of being the peacekeeper. She was busy daydreaming of returning home and cuddling up in her bed when her peaceful thoughts were disrupted by the studio's receptionist popping her head in the door.
"Dani, someone's here to see you. I'm sorry, I didn't get their name." The frazzled receptionist looked as exhausted as Dani felt, so she gave the woman a warm smile.
"No problem, I'll be right out," she put her notepad aside and stood up, glancing over at Toby, "You okay here?"
The bassist gave a dismissive wave as he continued staring intently at his phone. Dani chuckled as she exited the room and made her way towards the reception area.
The blonde stopped in her tracks as soon as she caught sight of the woman waiting in the reception area, "Santana?"
Her ex turned towards her and smiled as she made her way over to the surprised blonde. "I'm digging this look," she commented as she waved a hand towards Dani, who was dressed casually in ripped jeans and a white v-neck with her blonde hair tied up into a messy bun, "Very different from Saturday, but still sexy."
Dani blinked in response, wondering if her non-stop thoughts of her ex had manifested into a full blown hallucination. However, she knew it was all too real because she wasn't nearly sleep deprived enough to be hallucinating, "Are you stalking me now?"
Santana quirked an eyebrow at the response, "Hardly. You do realize your bassist has been posting photos tagged with your location on Instagram all day?"
"Yeah, that's like the exact definition of stalking," Dani replied, noticing how the receptionist was glancing over towards them with a worried expression.
"Should I call security?" The receptionist asked her, visibly anxious at the idea of involving security guards.
Dani smirked as she glanced at Santana, she had to admit, the idea of watching her ex being thrown out on her ass by security was very tempting. Before she could reply, Santana had turned to face the nervous receptionist.
"Oh please, honey. If you think I'm going to let some balding, ten-dollar-an-hour, rent-a-cop get close enough to even think about touching me, you have clearly never been to Lima Heights."
"W-where?" The receptionist asked, clearly startled and a bit confused by the confrontation.
"Santana," Dani scolded as she grabbed her ex's wrist and tugged gently, trying to lead her away from a potentially awkward and unnecessary scene. "I'm fine, thank you," she said with a brief nod towards the receptionist before leading Santana down the hall. Because it was so late, the studio was nearly deserted apart from the room her band had been working in all day. Dani glanced into an empty studio, making sure it showed no signs of activity before dragging Santana in behind her and shutting the door for privacy.
"Hmm soundproof room, I like your thinking," Santana said as she glanced around the small sound booth.
Dani rolled her eyes as she crossed her arms, "Santana, what the hell are you doing here?"
"Don't act so surprised to see me," Santana admonished as she turned back to face her ex, "With the way you left on Saturday, you should only be surprised it took this long."
Dani fought the urge to smirk as she crossed her arms, "You know that what I said wasn't an invitation to pick up where we left off, right?"
"Really? Because if I'm remembering correctly, you were very, very into what we were doing last week." Santana let her gaze drift over Dani's figure, a smug smile playing at her lips.
"Oh I was," Dani said with a nod, "Like I said, it was fun. But it was a one-time thing."
Santana scowled for a brief moment, not used to being rejected. As quick as the scowl appeared, it was replaced with a flirty smile, "You look so tense, Dani. I can help relieve some of that tension…" Santana let her offer linger as she trailed a finger along the V of Dani's shirt.
The blonde felt her pulse pick up as her ex once again invaded her personal space. She found herself overwhelmed by her presence - being confronted up close by Santana's flawless appearance combined with the familiar scent of her perfume and the gentle, yet familiar caress of her hand was enough to spike Dani's arousal level nearly as high as it had been the previous week.
As if the other woman could hear the lust-filled thoughts running through Dani's mind, Santana leaned in before the blonde could respond and began placing hot, fervent kisses along her neck.
Dani couldn't help the surprised moan that escaped her; she immediately brought her hands to her ex's shoulders, intending to push her away, but as Santana sucked roughly on a a sensitive spot just under her ear, Dani instead squeezed Santana's shoulders roughly, letting out a longer, throatier moan.
Spurred on by the response, Santana continued kissing along Dani's neck, placing well timed nips and teasing her tongue along sensitive areas of the blonde's neck.
Dani bit down on her lower lip to keep herself from letting any more moans escape - not that she was worried about being overheard since they were in a soundproof room, but so that Santana wouldn't get the satisfaction of hearing her moan. However, that didn't seem to slow the other woman down as she soon slipped her hands under the hem of the white V-neck, letting her hands rest on the blonde's hips.
As hard as Dani was trying to keep her reactions in check, she couldn't help the way her hips bucked forward as Santana began to drag her nails down her stomach. Both women had always enjoyed mixing a little pain with pleasure and it seemed Santana was still well aware of how Dani's body reacted to scratching.
As Santana began to move her kisses down along the skin exposed by the V of her shirt, Dani let her head fall back against the wall. Closing her eyes to try and block out a fraction of the excessive stimulation and think clearly.
Santana clearly had other plans though as she used one had to tug Dani's shirt down, revealing the swell of her breasts peeking out of the top of her bra. As Santana began to explore the newly revealed area with her mouth, she slid a hand down to unbutton Dani's jeans.
Dani fought hard to keep her hips still as she felt Santana undo the button to her jeans before slowly dragging the zipper down. She knew she should put an end to this. All it would take would be pushing Santana away, telling her to leave, and the rejoining her band to continue working on their new song.
Yet, even though Dani knew what she should do, the rational part of her brain wasn't currently in control of her actions. As much as she hated to admit Santana had been right, the truth was that Dani was incredibly tense. It wasn't just from the stressful day of work with her band, nor was it entirely due to the distracting week following her make out session with Santana on Saturday. Sure, kissing her ex last week certainly hadn't helped relieve any sort of tension, but Dani knew that it had only escalated the sexual frustration she'd been experiencing for months. Since Santana left her, Dani's sex life had consisted of a string of hook ups that left her feeling disappointed in one way or another. The last time she had been thoroughly and completely satisfied after sex had been with Santana. Which is why the part of her brain fueled by lust had decided to take over and prevent her from doing what she knew the right thing would be.
"It seems I haven't lost my touch if this is anything to go by," Santana teased as she ran her fingers over Dani's soaked panties. The blonde let a moan escape as she lifted her head from the wall to look at the smirking woman in front of her.
"Hey San," she said with a sweet smile as she used the hand still resting on Santana's shoulder to push her down, "Why don't you put your mouth to better use," she instructed, her breath hitching as she saw the look of pure lust replace the teasing smirk on Santana's face. She hadn't forgotten how turned on Santana would get by being controlled in the bedroom, although the reminder made Dani even more aroused and desperate for her touch.
She watched as Santana began to slide her jeans down and helped the effort by kicking off her shoes before stepping out of her pants. Dani couldn't help the smirk that spread across her face as her ex got down on her knees in front of her. Dani's breath escaped her in a low moan as Santana leaned in to run her tongue along her slit.
The sound seemed to spur Santana on as she glanced up to hold Dani's gaze before moving back in to take another slow lick before focusing her attention on her clit. The blonde found herself unable to look away from her ex, the intensity and passion in Santana's expression serving to only heighten the experience for Dani.
As Santana sucked the blonde's clit between her lips, Dani groaned and moved her hand to tangle in Santana's long locks, keeping the other woman close. Her ex took hold of her thigh and moved it to rest against her shoulder, further opening Dani up for her eager mouth to explore.
"Fuck," Dani moaned, knowing that the whispered curse would only boost her ex's confidence; however, it was hard not to comment when Santana was eating her pussy with an intensity unlike she had ever experienced.
She could tell Santana was holding herself back from making a comment, which she greatly appreciated. Her short nails scraped along Santana's scalp, eliciting a moan. Dani grinned at the sound before closing her eyes and letting her head slip back to rest against the wall so she could focus on the pleasure she was receiving.
Santana dragged her nails up along Dani's thigh before slowly sliding a single finger into her. Dani's accompanying whimper at the sensation was enough to give Santana the go ahead to begin moving her finger, slowly fucking the blonde.
Dani couldn't help but buck her hips, wanting more than the slow pace Santana was currently torturing her with. Fortunately, her ex didn't seem to be in the mood to prolong the torture and picked up her pace, delivering a series of rapid licks to Dani's clit while sliding a second finger into her.
The blonde moaned at the increase in pace as she continued to run her nails along Santana's scalp while using her free hand to grip her own blonde hair tightly. "Fuck yes, right there," she encouraged in a breathy moan as Santana's fingers started to hit her in just the right place.
The whimpers and moans escaping her lips began to increase in frequency as Santana brought Dani closer and closer to her climax. The blonde could tell the much needed release was going to be better than anything she'd experienced in a long time. Her hips began to buck in time with the thrust of Santana's fingers as she tightened her grip on Santana's hair.
"I wanna watch you come for me," Santana instructed as she waited for Dani's dazed gaze to meet her own before leaning back in to pay fervent attention to her clit, refusing to break eye contact with the blonde.
Dani gasped at the overwhelming sensation of being on the edge while holding Santana's gaze. A well-placed thrust of her fingers sent her over the edge and she tightened the grip on her own hair as she let out a loud moan followed by a low 'fuck' as Santana continued to slowly move her fingers, working the blonde down from her orgasm.
Dani leaned back against the wall, not trusting her legs to support her as they trembled with the after-effects of her powerful climax. She could tell Santana was watching her, but didn't need to look at her ex to know she was sporting a proud smirk. As Dani continued to slowly descend from her high, she knew that for the second time in only a week she had given her ex exactly what she wanted. She could feel the disappointment in herself begin to seep in, dampening her euphoria. She didn't know how she could possibly recover the upper hand in this situation after she'd just let Santana go down on her and bring her to what was obviously a very satisfying finish.
She reminded herself that technically she hadn't given Santana everything she wanted - at least not yet. With that thought in mind, she pushed herself off of the wall she was resting on. In an unhurried, yet deliberate manner she picked up her jeans from the floor and stepped back into them.
"What are you doing?" Santana asked, rising to her feet as she watched the blonde button her pants.
Dani glanced over to where her ex was watching her with a confused expression. "Getting dressed," she glanced down to hide her smirk as she bent down to put her shoes back on.
"Do you think we're done here?" Santana demanded as she crossed her arms.
The blonde furrowed her brow as she glanced back up and pretended to consider the question as she adjusted her shirt to cover her bra, "Hmm, well I know that I'm done here." She replied as she glanced back down at herself to make sure everything was in order. "But thanks for stopping by." She shot the shocked and annoyed woman a smile as she turned to head for the exit. As she pulled the heavy door open, she paused and glanced back over, "Oh, and just so we're clear - this isn't an invitation to come back."
With that, Dani stepped out into the hall and quickly made her way back to her band.

By the way, I probably should have mentioned this at the start of the last chapter, but if you are someone who is very uncomfortable with cheating in relationships - this story is not for you.
