Decided to break this chapter and the previous one up rather than having one long chapter. So this is the second part of the Furlough chapter. There's also a third part I'll post next.

Thanks so much for the reviews guys! I love each and every one. Keep them coming :)


Piper took Alex's hand without hesitation and let the brunette lead her down the hall to the bedroom. It was plain. Stark white walls, a bed, nightstand, tall lamp in one corner and of course in typical Alex Vause fashion, an over filled bookcase. It was so unlike anything that Piper had ever seen Alex in. It made her sad thinking that Alex lived in this place. The once vibrant and passionate woman before her had been beaten down. It made Piper's heart physically ache.

"I know it's not much." Alex began upon seeing Piper's face fall as she looked around the small room.

Piper turned back to Alex, her eyes stopping on the single decoration on the wall. She smiled at Alex. "You still have that?"

Alex looked over at the picture on the wall. It was of her and Piper on the beach in Bali that first trip they had taken together. Someone else who was traveling with them had taken the picture when they weren't looking. They were too wrapped up in one another to notice. They were looking at one another with such love and happiness. "Yeah. It was in with a box my aunt sent. I have a lot more in a storage unit, but I haven't been able to go back there yet."

Piper reached up and cupped Alex's face. "I love you."

Alex smiled. "I love you too." She took Piper's hand and led her slowly to the bed. "Let me show you just how much." Piper was not about to argue with that. Alex slowly lowered Piper down onto the bed, their lips never leaving each other's as she did. She pulled back briefly to tuck some stray hair behind Piper's ear. She took a minute and looked deep into Piper's eyes. There was so much love staring back at her that it made her breath catch in her throat.

Piper reached up and brushed away the tear that had escaped Alex's control. She smiled and pulled Alex back into a kiss. Slowly clothes were shed as the two crawled under the thick comforter. Piper sank deep into the soft sheets as Alex slowly trailed kisses down her naked body. Piper's eyes fluttered shut at the sensations. Every kiss to her flesh made her body tingle. She was on fire.

"Piper if you don't stop wiggling around this isn't going to work."

Piper smirked. "Sorry. I can't help it."

"I know. I'm just that good." Alex said with a grin. Piper attempted to roll her eyes, but Alex plunged two fingers deep into her sopping sex making Piper gasp. "God Piper you are soaking wet. Such a turn on."

At this point speech was beyond anything Piper was able to focus on so she didn't even attempt an answer. No shit she was soaking. She had Alex on top of her in a nice, soft bed behind a door with a lock. There were no guards, no one else around, no limit on the time they had alone together. As far as Piper was concerned she had died and gone to Heaven.

Alex withdrew her fingers eliciting a strong whimper from the woman beneath her. "Patience my love, patience. Good things come to those who wait."

"Alex, Jesus, I've waited long enough. Please!"

Alex couldn't help the smirk that came over her face. "I love it when you beg." She came up to Piper, kissing her until there was no air left in her lungs. As much as she loved teasing the blonde, she wasn't cruel enough to leave it just at teasing. Slowly she once again made her way down Piper's body. A kiss here, little nip here all the way down to Piper's sex which was literally glistening with her need. Ever so slowly she licked the outside of Piper's sex, cleaning up what she herself created.

Piper moaned and wiggled beneath her, trying to get Alex to go where she needed her the most. Alex smiled into her sex as her tongue slowly found Piper's clit. "Fuck, Alex!"

Alex sucked on that sensitive bundle of nerves until Piper was almost over that edge. She reached up and flicked a nipple with her right hand and Piper came tumbling over the edge screaming Alex's name. "Horrible wasn't it?"

Piper smiled as Alex came up and wrapped her arms around her. She turned so she was facing the brunette and kissed her. "You're amazing, you know that?"

Alex shrugged, this smug expression upon her face. "After that I have some idea."

"No" Piper said with a chuckle. "Well I mean yes, that was amazing. But I meant you're amazing. You." She kissed Alex and rolled on top of her. Gone were the days when she asked Alex if she could do her. She knew just what Alex liked now and how to drag it out enough to make Alex literally beg for it. Her hands were everywhere. She couldn't get enough of the brunette. They kissed passionately as Piper's hands wandered over Alex's naked body.

"Piper" Alex warned.

Piper chuckled and moved her mouth down to Alex's breast.

"Piper"

Piper stopped and turned up to Alex. "Yes"

Alex let out a frustrated sigh. "Okay, now that's not nice."

Piper smiled and reached a hand down to flick Alex's clit. Alex jumped. "Now that wasn't nice. Keep it up Vause and I'll stop."

Alex pursed her lips, but relaxed back and let Piper have her way. Piper brought her attention back to Alex's breasts. She did have an amazing chest and Piper never could quite get enough of it. As she continued her assault on the brunettes breasts, she trailed her hand down Alex's body. "Speaking of soaked..." She teased.

"Well, with all this teasing." Alex raised an eyebrow almost challengingly. "Maybe you should do something about it."

Piper licked her lips, slowly. "I always deliver." Her lips back on Alex's chest Piper plunged two fingers deep into Alex. She was so wet Piper easily added a third and pumped out a slow and steady rhythm until she felt Alex's walls closing around her fingers. She brought her thumb up to her clit and Alex was soon thrown into ecstasy.

Piper laid down beside Alex and held her until her head came back down to Earth. "I forgot how amazing that was." Alex finally said. "I mean, it was good in prison. But here, having privacy and being able to take our time..." She trailed off.

"Since when do you care about privacy? I cringe thinking of all the people who saw us having sex on our trips."

Alex chuckled. "Yeah, well, we were young."

"Speak for yourself." Piper joked. "I still am young."

Alex laughed and wrapped her arms around Piper; the blondes head falling right over her heart. They fell into a blissful sleep, not waking until it was dark out. Alex carefully extracted herself from Piper. She took a few moments and just looked down at the blonde sleeping peacefully in her bed. How many nights had she dreamed of waking up to exactly this? Piper in her bed, no phone calls calling her away to deal with her business. Apart from the fact that Piper had to go back to prison, it was Heaven.

She threw on some yoga pants and a tank top that had been lying on the floor and went into the living room to grab her phone. 8:03. The club was still too new for her not to show up for a night. There wasn't anyone else who could do everything she did. And of course tonight was one of the four nights a week the club was open. She made a mental note to hire someone to be able to fill her shoes if she couldn't be there. A right hand person of sorts.

"You weren't there."

Alex looked up from her phone and smiled. Piper was standing in the doorway wrapped in only a sheet. "What?"

"I woke up and you weren't there." Piper said, looking away as a rose blush covered her cheeks.

Alex chuckled and went over to Piper, wrapping her arms around the shorter woman. "I'm sorry. I had to check the time. . . You're going to hate me..."

Piper looked up at Alex. "What?"

"I have to go to the club. I haven't hired another manager yet so I have to be there."

"When?"

"We open between ten and eleven so I have to be there in about an hour."

Piper nodded. She was sad, of course, but she was also really proud. Proud Alex was turning over a new leaf. That she was becoming a fully legal, productive member of society.

"I'm not sure what you'll want to do. You said you can't go, so I can drop you wherever you're staying on the way or you can stay here?"

Piper thought for a moment. "I want to go with you." She said with a smile. What would they do? Add more time to her sentence? She was pretty sure she already had more time coming for lying at Kubra's trial anyway. What was a little more when it meant more time with Alex? And in this moment she honestly didn't care. Fuck it. You only live once, right?

"You sure?"

Piper nodded. "Yeah, let's go."
