Thank you all so much for the wonderful reviews and PMs. I just wanted to tell you all how much I appreciate them, they truly do motivate me to keep writing. I have confirmed that this will be eventual Vauseman, but I love toying with Stella. At some point, I will be posting a Stella/Piper fic, so be on the lookout for that. In the meantime, here is chapter ten, with some mature content. Yes, that was your warning for adult themes. Enjoy, and don't forget to review!
Ten
Piper spent the majority of her time at work forcing herself to stay awake while Stella gazed at her almost sickeningly. Flaca helped by kicking Piper under the table and muttering things like, "Chapman," and "She's staring again." Finally, Piper simply put her head down and closed her eyes. It didn't take long for CO Ford to snap, "Wake up, inmate!"
"Jesus," Piper sighed, rubbing her face roughly. She glanced at Stella, who looked like she hadn't slept a wink either. Piper took some twisted comfort in that, and before she realized, Stella had walked over. She must have been doing the eye thing again. Piper shook her head in annoyance.
"We just talked about this, Stella," Piper said irritably.
"We can keep it a secret," Stella countered. "I don't mind being your dirty little secret."
Piper thought about this for a second before snapping her head up and saying, "Is this a game to you?"
"What?" Stella asked, taken aback. "No. Look, I get it, you chose Alex, but why not have everything you want? Piper, I know you want me."
Flaca giggled and ducked her head as she sewed away.
"Can we talk about this when I have slept, please?" Piper said, trying not to make direct eye contact with Stella, as it would result in her resolve melting away completely.
"I haven't slept either. I was up all night thinking about you. You don't even know what I'd be like on the outside. I'd bring you flowers, take you to dinners and museums and aquariums. I'd hold your hand and let you hide in my shoulder during scary films. Piper, you don't know how I feel about you."
"Back to your seat, inmate," CO Ford said sharply. His patience was wearing thin.
Flaca glanced over and decided it would be best if she took over the panty sewing with the extra material Piper had learned how to salvage. It wasn't going to get done otherwise. Piper felt sick and giddy and dizzy all at the same time, and there was a crushing sense of arousal she hadn't noticed earlier.
"Wait for me after work," Piper relented finally just as CO Ford walked over and snapped, "Do I need to give you all shots?"
"I wasn't even doing nothing!" Flaca exclaimed indignantly.
Stella raised her hands in defeat and returned to her seat. Piper watched her walk away, knowing defeat was not quite what Stella was feeling. CO Ford stomped off, wondering why the poochies were being so difficult today. They weren't on their cycles, so it must have been something personal, and personal wasn't exactly in the rulebook. Since getting his full-time hours back, he was making sure to do his job correctly and not let any slack past him.
"You gonna have sex again?" Flaca asked in a whisper.
"She drives my libido wild," Piper muttered back.
"Run the school, Chapman," Flaca reminded. "It's school 'til it's over and you got a long time 'til class lets out."
Piper pondered this for a minute. For someone so young, Flaca seemed to make a lot of sense. Maybe it was the lack of sleep finally getting to her brain but it just made more and more sense to Piper to keep running the game until the game was over. She'd still leave and wait for Alex. Why couldn't she have fun?
Because Alex loves you, a nagging voice reminded her. The guilt set in again and Piper hung her head with a sigh before returning to work and struggling to keep her eyes open the entire time. When Ford let them out, Piper tried to stall around her desk. She and Flaca had already stuffed the spare panties away.
"Chapman, Gonzales," Ford said sharply. "Chaplin! Out."
Piper glanced at Stella before making her way out of the sewing station and down the hall toward the chapel. Stella made sure to keep a safe distance, and attempted small talk with Flaca.
"You and Chapman are pretty tight, huh?" Stella tried.
"Yo, if you hurt my girl Chapman, I will break every bone in every finger you got, understand?" Flaca said coldly.
"Honestly, it'll be Chapman hurting anyone, not me," Stella had to admit as they walked.
"We'll see. Have fun," Flaca said before making a turn and Stella opened the door to the chapel.
Piper was already waiting out in hiding, her spare panties stuffed in a corner safely. All of a sudden she was wide awake and her heart was pounding. She heard Stella's footsteps, light and quick and it wasn't long before Stella scooted in beside her after one last glance behind her.
"What do you want to talk about, since you haven't slept?" Stella asked with a small smile.
"I don't," Piper said, and she straddled Stella before fiercely kissing her. Stella moaned in surprise and threaded her fingers through Piper's hair, leaning back and pulling Piper down with her. Piper took the opportunity to slip her tongue against Stella's lips and into her mouth and the two remained entangled in a heated kissing battle for longer than Piper could track. When Stella took control and began to undress Piper, Piper allowed it. She allowed every touch and lick and kiss until she experienced the most blissful of orgasms, and Stella slid up and placed a tender kiss against Piper's lips. Piper was in heaven as Stella's hand slid down to further toy with her. She could feel her eyes rolling into the back of her head as she meshed her lips eagerly against Stella's. Piper knew they were losing track of time; she thought of it the moment before her final orgasm came crashing down and she clawed down Stella's back through her top.
When Piper came to, she found herself sleepy again and she remembered she needed to get back to Alex. It must have been about dinner time, and Piper decided she would shower before joining Alex for dinner.
"Hey," Stella said softly.
"Yeah?" Piper asked with a soft smile.
"You're beautiful."
Piper flushed softly and allowed Stella to help her redress. She tucked the panties back away and gave Stella another long, intense kiss. Stella grinned into the kiss and mumbled, "If I knew this was the way to your heart, I would have done it ages ago."
Piper smiled against Stella's lips and pulled away. "I have to go," she said with a twinge of regret.
"I mean it, Piper," Stella said quickly, "I'll really keep my mouth shut. And I know you've got to spend time with her. I get it."
Piper sighed, stared at the floor for a minute then looked up at Stella and said, "Fine. Fine, but you have to be discreet."
"So you'll be my secret girlfriend then?" Stella grinned again.
"Yes, dummy," Piper laughed and gave her another, smaller kiss before getting to her feet. "I'll see you later, okay?"
Stella nodded and got up as well, chancing another, longer, sweeter kiss that gave Piper butterflies in the pit of her belly. When Stella pulled away, Piper found herself quickly longing for her but decided it would be best to take her chance and walk away before they got too caught up again. She promptly met with Flaca in the hallways and whispered, "I need you to distribute my share of the panties, please, I wouldn't ask if I wasn't short on time."
"Did you just have more sex?" Flaca whispered with a knowing smirk.
"Yes, I'm sorry," Piper whispered back, "It's so good, I can't help it, I should be killed for my sins, please."
"Here, give them to me," Flaca asked quietly, opening up her pants a bit.
Piper gave a quick look around for safety before taking the panties from her pants and tucking them into Flaca's.
"Gonzales, you're the best, I owe you one."
"So make me a thong!" Flaca hissed with a laugh.
Piper nodded, then added, "Hey, try not to be seen by Alex, okay?"
Flaca nodded, then made her way to the dorms. Alex was luckily nowhere to be found and Piper snatched up her things for a shower. She made quick work of cleaning herself and nearly ran to the cafeteria where dinner was already underway. She quickly got her tray and made her way to a table nearby where Alex was sitting with Poussey and Soso.
"Hey," Piper said a little too cheerily.
"Hey, where you been, Pipes?" Alex frowned, giving Piper's knee a small rub under the table.
"Distributing more panties to some ladies I owed. Back order," Piper shrugged, starting in on her tray.
"Oh. How was work?" Alex asked with a smile, shrugging it off and beginning a game of footsies.
"It was okay, long. I'm so exhausted. I just want to go take a nap," Piper admitted.
"You can be my little spoon after dinner," Alex offered.
Piper smiled and true to her word after dinner, Alex scooted into her bunk and pulled Piper in front of her. Stella wasn't in her bunk, which was a relief to Piper, and as Alex's arms slid around Piper's waist, Piper scooted back and closed her eyes. Visitation was tomorrow, and Piper had already spoken to Cal about coming up. She would be glad to see him amidst all this chaos. Before long, Piper was fast asleep, her last thoughts on Stella, worried she would be hurt to see this scenario once she returned.
