Apologies for the long hiatus! I kinda underestimated how busy i'd be with other exams and working 8 hours a day which was harsh going so again, I do apologise for such a long wait. Also season 4. Holy fuck. Best season yet, I cried so much and I'm the most unemotional person you'll ever meet.
This chapter is still quite short, and i've been adding bits to it over the past month so half of the chapter was in my google docs for about a month lmao.
I have roughly 6-7 weeks free now so I should spend a lot of my evenings writing. Therefore, as a result of more free time my chapters should be up more frequently and possibly be longer. The story will begin to pick up within the next few chapters btw.
Quick shoutout to an author of one of the best vauseman fics online and one that I've been lucky enough to read since the day the very first chapter was uploaded; BeReFe23 (author of Satisfaction). It's growing to be a hugely popular fic and you should absolutely read it if you haven't already. Only if you like smut though. Trust me, you'll see why.
It's become popular among the twitter fandom too, which I personally find is an entertaining running joke because of the opinions each chapter brings out.
(self-promo - you should also follow me on twitter if you don't already justlikevause)
WARNING: still slightly smutty ;) Alex was always a dishwasher kinda gal. Also fairly fluffy so try to avoid cavities

The sex lasted almost all night, with plenty of teasing and too many orgasms to count. After Piper's third orgasm the following morning, they'd moved to the shower. Piper had gone down on Alex twice. Alex came a third time with Piper's fingers buried deep inside her.
As they got out of the shower, Alex couldn't help herself. A look at the blonde's naked form, still wet from the shower was all it took for her to pounce and fuck her harshly in the bathroom against the door. Piper came violently with a loud scream of Alex's name.
They had a no clothes rule. Not only was it because they hadn't seen each other in so long, it was also because they literally could not keep their hands off each other. Whether it was an innocent touch of the forearm, or their fingers intertwined, they were always touching.
Piper was at the stove in the kitchen cooking, with Alex's arms wrapped around her waist and her naked form pushed against Piper's back.
"Remember when I told that homophobic cunt about the relationship between me and a dishwasher?" Alex spoke into Piper's ear with a smug grin on her face.
"Hm…" Piper knew exactly where Alex was going with this.
"I think maybe we should live up to my words," Alex suggested, moving her hands up slightly and kneading Piper's breasts.
"I think you're right."
That's all the confirmation Alex needed. She turned Piper around in her grasp and pushed her over to the dishwasher. Piper sat on top of it and wrapped her legs around Alex's waist.
"Fuck me," Piper whispered, smashing their lips together.
Alex took control, pushing her tongue against Piper's as her hands roamed up and down Piper's body. She stopped at Piper's tits, circling the nipples with her thumbs and feeling them harden. She pinched them harshly, and Piper let out a yelp.
Once she was satisfied, she moved further down Piper's body, gripping Piper's thighs and locking them tighter around her waist. She let out a moan as her hand reached Piper's soaked pussy. "Oh God, Pipes. You're dripping."
"Fuck me," Piper repeated. Alex placed kisses from Piper's earlobe to her jawline, lightly sucking her skin on every other kiss.
Alex gathered the slick juices and felt them slip easily through her fingers. "Al-"
"Shh...baby. I know what you need." Alex whispered before pushing two fingers into Piper and groaning slightly at the feeling of Piper's walls around her fingers.
Her thumb drew circles around Piper's clit as she pumped in and out of the blonde, curling her fingers on every third thrust. "Alex."
Alex could feel Piper's orgasm approaching quickly, and added a third finger to her thrusting. "Come for me, Pipes."
Piper moaned loudly at the stretch and Alex's encouragement pushed her over the edge. "I'm coming, I'm coming, Alex!"
Her release was a big one, coating Alex's whole hand. She needed a few minutes to return to her normal breathing. Alex helped her as she slowed her movements and kissed Piper's neck and jaw tentatively. "You okay, Piper?"
"Mmm…" Piper placed her arms around Alex to bring her closer and buried her neck in the older woman's shoulder. "That was strong."
"I know." Alex nodded. "C'mon kid, let's eat."
"Your pussy?" Piper smirked. "'Cause I'm happy if that's on the menu."
"You're insatiable," Alex threw her head back in laughter.
They were interrupted by a phone call. Piper looked at the caller and picked up. "Lorna, hey!"
"Chapman? How are you? Is Vause out?" The petite brunette sounded excited.
"She's here now. Sorry I didn't call, we've been...busy." Piper exchanged a smirk with Alex, who raised an eyebrow and winked before scanning her eyes down Piper's naked body.
"I don't want details," the red-lipped Italian answered. "Mind if I come see you guys?"
"Sure, come over whenever. Alex wants to see you," Piper told her, squinting at Alex's body scan.
"I'll see you later tonight then!"
They said their goodbyes and hung up. "Better put some clothes on, Lorna's coming to see you."
"I have no clothes, Piper."
"Yes you do. I bought you a shit ton while you were still there, c'mon." Piper drags Alex upstairs to their room and shows Alex what she meant. "Get dressed before I take you against the closet."
"So if I stay naked?"
"Alex!" Piper threw a shoe at her, laughing slightly. "Clothes. Now."
"Yes ma'am." Alex playfully raised an eyebrow before finally obeying Piper's orders.

Lorna arrived within the hour. She hugged Alex tightly and told her she'd missed her, to which Alex did miss her too.
They spoke about the rest of the drama that went down when Alex was in prison. They spoke about Nicky, and Alex couldn't help but notice the relief wash through Lorna as she assured her that Nicky was okay.
Eventually, Lorna asked about their relationship now that Alex was out, and they didn't hesitate to tell the truth. "We're together. Officially." It was Alex.
Piper smiled at her and came up behind Alex, placing her arms around Alex's shoulders and letting them hang loosely. "I love you."
"I love you, too," Alex whispered, leaning back to kiss Piper's cheek.
"Awh, I'm glad you worked things out," Lorna cooed, clapping slightly.
"Yeah," Alex nodded. "Me too."
Alex really was happy. They'd overcome everything they'd done to each other and learnt that they really did love each other, which surprised her but made her happy nonetheless.
"How long does Nicky have left?" Lorna wondered.
"Only a few months. She might get out early though, we can only hope." Alex smiled tenderly.
Lorna left in the late evening after spending the day catching up, leaving the couple on their own again. Alex was sat at the kitchen island watching Piper clean up the remains of Chinese takeout. Piper had refused to let Alex help.
"I've missed you, y'know," Alex broke the silence by speaking quietly.
"Is this another way to get into my pants for the millionth time today?" Piper smirked at her girlfriend.
"I'm not fucking with you," Alex stated, pulling the blonde toward her and wrapping her arms around Piper's waist. Alex couldn't deny how adorable Piper looked right now. She was wearing comfort clothes, which is a weakness for Alex anyway, but the hoodie Piper was wearing took it to a whole new level. "I really have missed you."
"Yeah? I've missed you a lot." Piper agreed, wrapping her arms around the brunette's shoulders and looking down to make eye contact with her.
"It's gonna be easy this time around," Alex tells her. "That's what I'm ready for. Things to be easy."
"We can do easy."
"Really?" Alex laughs.
"Yeah. We're too old for fighting and fucking each other over like we used to," Piper shrugs.
"Hm, I guess so," Alex nodded and lay her head on Piper's chest. Alex found Piper's heartbeat one of the most comforting things in the world. "I don't know what's gonna happen."
"What d'you mean, Al?" Piper wondered, kissing the top of Alex head and threading her fingers through the raven locks.
"For the future. I mean am I gonna go to college and get an actual job? I can't even imagine what that would look like." Alex sighed against Piper's chest and pulled her slightly closer.
"Baby, don't panic, alright?" Piper said gently. We'll find something. Hey, you could become a co-owner of my bookstore if you really want to."
"Promise me you won't go anywhere. Promise you won't care what I do, obviously nothing illegal but…" she whispered. "Promise me, Pipes."
"Alex...of course. I don't care if you have to work as a fucking waitress. I just don't plan on losing you again, so please nothing illegal."
"Are you trying to say you want me forever?" Alex smiled against Piper's skin, trailing gentle kisses up to her neck as the brunette stood. "Because that could be arranged."
"Mmm, yes. I'm not letting you go. You're all mine."
"Promise?" Alex asked, already leaning down to close the gap between them.
Piper nodded. "Only you." And then she closed the gap between them, their lips coming together and their tongues dancing familiarly. They held each other close as they kissed deeply and passionately, alternating between holding each other's waist or cradling the others face in their hands.
Alex broke the kiss a while later and tilted her forehead against Piper's. "I really do love you."

They took a break from harshly fucking one another and instead lay in bed together. Their roles had swapped, and Alex found herself laying on Piper's chest and nuzzling into her neck while the blonde weaved her fingers through Alex's hair with one hand, while the other was interlocked with one of Alex's.
Their joined hands was something neither of them could stop staring at, and they were quiet for a while, just rubbing each others hands lightly and delicately or placing a tender kiss on the back of a palm. Their legs were intertwined and draped over one another bringing them closer.
The most intimate of it all though, was that they were completely naked due to their synchronised demand of some comforting skin to skin contact, so they both stripped down to nothing. Not even in a sexual way. It was more of a 'this is what we've become. This is how much I love and trust you.' It was a promise to stay with one another.
"So what now?" Alex asks, nuzzling closer to Piper.
"We just go along with everything I guess. You always said that you didn't want a plan, right?" Piper brushed her lips against Alex's forehead.
"You remember the sweetest things, Piper Chapman." Alex laughed slightly, placing a sweet kiss on Piper's neck.
"Can I ask you something?" The blonde asked.
Piper knew she was about to take a huge step so soon out of prison but she felt like it was the right moment.
"Do you think Vause would be a good surname for me?" Piper wondered shyly, her voice becoming a little quieter. "I mean obviously not this soon, I'm just curious.
She had expected Alex to widen her eyes in surprise and say something completely against it, but the brunette's reaction was unexpected.
"Absolutely. Alex and Piper Vause. I like it."
"Yeah?" The blonde let her fingers linger on Alex's neck, gently tracing patterns on the skin before resuming her soothing and gentle strokes on Alex's hair.
"Hm. You know I'm not the type to remodel a house and go on trips to the Hamptons but with you, well. You know what you do to me."
"I do. So, can I ask you one more thing. And don't even try to judge me because you know you've done this in the past too."
"What is it, baby?" Alex turned and gazed at Piper before their eyes locked together and Piper's hand came up to rest delicately on Alex's jaw. Alex saw the look in Piper's eye and knew immediately what she was asking for. Alex smiled lovingly on pure instinct at Piper, gripping her wrist loosely and running her thumb along the inside of it.
"Make love to me, Al."

I'm tempted to skip over the love-making scene and just get a plot going but if people want to read said scene, do let me know and I shall have no problem in writing it for the next chapter
