Chapter 21 Finding her Bliss
Marissa and Alex stood facing each other in the middle of the blonde's living room, their hands tangled as they just stood facing each other both smiling like a kid on Christmas day. "So?" Alex said teasingly.
"So." Marissa answered back.
Finally Alex disentangled their hands and cupped the brunette's face, bringing them slowly closer. "Where were we?" The surfer asked brushing her lips lightly across Marissa's. The taller girl smiled, leaning into her blonde lover trying to connect their lips.
"Alex." The girl whined when the blonde pulled away for the third time. "Stop teasing." She whispered before finally capturing Alex's rogue lips in a searing kiss. Alex blindly walked them in the general direction of her couch, halfway there Mr. Chips began to tug on the hem of Alex's shorts. When Marissa felt the couch hit the back of her knees she fell backward bringing the laughing blonde with her.
Once she had gotten her giggle fit under control Alex proceeded to kiss the girl softly. "Chips! Stop it." The blond mumbled against Marissa's lips, swatting blindly at the dog who continued to tug at her clothing. Pulling away from the girl's plush lips the surfer glared at the dog "What the hell is your problem?" The small dog just yipped at her then danced around. Marissa leaned up from her position on the couch to look at the dog.
"Maybe you should go see what he wants." The beautiful brunette suggested, sucking lightly on Alex's neck. The blonde groaned then pushed up and away from Marissa, the frustration showing clearly on her face. The brunette chuckled as she watched Alex stumble over the eager little dog; she could tell the agitated blond was quietly griping at the dog.
"Oh you have got to be kidding me!" Came Alex's indignant voice from the laundry room. "I am not taking you for a walk in the middle of a rain storm you stupid dog!" Marissa laughed even harder when she heard the little dog bark excitedly at the word 'walk'. Alex stuck her head back into the living room and shot the giggling brunette a menacing glare. "Oh yeah, laugh it up."
"Oh come on Alex, they are probably just feeling a little left out." Marissa said in between peels of laughter.
"He'll be left out alright." Alex grumbled before going back into the laundry room. Marissa lay back onto the couch and listened to the sound of the girl and her dogs playing around in the other room. Sighing contentedly, she closed her eyes and smiled. This was a life she could get used to; too bad it was only for the summer.
Fifteen minutes later Alex emerged from the laundry room. "Damn dogs are just too cute for my sanity." Alex was saying as she came to stand in front of the couch where Marissa was lying to find the brunette sound asleep. "Oh you have got to be kidding me!" the frustrated blonde exclaimed quietly, running her hands though her slightly damp hair. Kneeling down next to the girl she lightly traced her fingers along the arch of the girl's eyebrow then down her cheek before placing a gentle kiss on Marissa's forehead. "You are so beautiful." Alex whispered then covered the girl with the throw blanket draped over the back of the couch.
Standing up Alex looked down at the large German Shepard that had come to sit by her. "Guess this is Fate's way of telling me to get some work done, huh Artemis?" She asked the dog who just cocked her head and looked at her questioningly. "When your right, your right." With that she took one last glance at the sleeping girl then went into her office and shut the door.
Sitting at her desk Alex brought her computer online and put on her earpiece hitting one on her speed dial. "Hey it's me." She greeted when a person answered on the other end. Alex clicked on a small cat icon at the top of the screen opening a series of windows. "Yeah I got them. Give me a couple of days to go over them and I'll get them right back to you." The blonde listened a few minutes to the person on the phone while she went over the files. "From the preliminary I see no problems on my end. I see the notations about color specifics, I don't care what New York says, we'll go with it."
"I am aware of that, but we lead, not follow. We didn't get where we are by following the rest of the pack." The blonde said as she opened a separate window and began looking for something. Laughing she spun her chair away from her computer. "Everything is fine, I swear. Aside from an irritating succession of interruptions?" Alex listened intently. "She doesn't have a clue about either and that's the way I want to keep it.
Again the girl laughed and leaned back in her chair staring out at the rain washed landscape. "Oh by the way, I think I am gonna be out of touch for the weekend so if you need to get a hold of me call Louie." Alex didn't notice the shadow that darkened her doorway. "Well, actually I plan on being off shore this weekend. That's for me to know." Hearing a beep from the computer the blonde spun back around looking at the screen she smiled. "Okay, I gotta go. Talk to you later, love you too. Bye."
Alex pushed a button on her phone and tossed the ear piece onto her desk while she studied the chart on her computer. "Perfect!" She said to her self and scribbled something down on a note pad.
"What's perfect?" Came Marissa's inquisitive voice from the doorway. The poor blonde nearly jumped clean out of her skin at the unexpected sound.
"Fuck! What were you, a ninja in a past life or something?" Alex asked as she tried to get her racing heart under control while closing the open files on her desk and computer.
The brunette smiled apologetically at the blonde. "I sorry, I didn't mean to." Sigh Alex looked into Marissa's sad eyes. "No, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have snapped. I'm really not used to having people in my house." Smiling she sat back down in her chair and beckoned the girl further into the room. "Come here Riss." Hesitantly Marissa entered the room, looking around as she made her way over to the beautiful blonde behind the desk. Alex pulled the girl into her lap and nuzzled into her neck. "How was your nap?"
Marissa giggled self consciously. "Sorry I fell asleep." The blonde shook her head and smiled at the beautiful brunette.
"I think you were just paying me back for the other night when I fell asleep." She teased, nipping lightly at the soft shell of Marissa's ear. Alex continued her tender assault of the soft skin on Marissa's neck, her hand began to massage the thigh it had been resting on eliciting a moan from the girl. Marissa pulled away and stared intently into the blonde's azure eyes for a moment before getting up only to readjust herself so that she was straddling a stunned Alex on the leather high-backed chair draping her arms loosely around the other girl's neck.
"So where are you off to this weekend?" She asked casually as she squirmed a little to try and get more comfortable on her precarious perch, her movements were rewarded by a low groan from Alex. Raising an eyebrow at the girl Marissa moved again, this time her movements were deliberate, the lanky girl ground her hips in to the highly distracted blonde's.
Alex hissed as Marissa moved against her. The girl was creating all kinds of wonderful sensations in the surfer's lower extremities. "Wha-what did say?" The blonde asked trying to get her mind to focus on the conversation.
"I heard you say you were leaving for the weekend. I didn't mean to listen; I know it isn't any of my business." Marissa explained distractedly as Alex began to massage the girl's ass.
"Do we have to talk about this right now?" Alex asked right before Marissa crashed her lips down on to the smiling blonde's.
"No." Was all the girl could reply before Alex began to kiss her again. Suddenly Alex's nimble hands were everywhere at once, running through Marissa's hair and down to cup the back of her neck deepening the kiss while the other gently caressed the brunette's pert breast.
The silence in the room was shattered as the two figures moved to a symphony of sighs and moans. Alex began to get frustrated, as amazing as it was she felt an insane need to be closer to the brunette. Reaching out blindly she shoved aside her keyboard and mouse pad knocking a stack of folders to the floor in the process. Getting a firm grip on Marissa's ass, the deceptively strong girl stood up and deposited her precious package firmly onto the desk. Marissa giggled when Alex kicked the chair out of the way, sending it careening across the room.
"Eager much?" The brunette teased. Alex just grunted as she went about pulling off Marissa's shirt. Immediately practiced fingers found the ties to the girl's bikini top and made quick work of removing the irritating barrier while her lips traveled across the delicate architecture of Marissa's collar bone. All thoughts of teasing vanished when Marissa found herself being sensuously devoured by Alex's questing mouth.
The blonde willed herself to go slow, she fought her body's demand to take the girl in front of her, and instead she gave in to the need to touch, taste and feel every inch of the girl's luscious body. Moving lower, she mouthed the creamy expanse of Marissa's breast before locking onto the already hardened peak, swirling her tongue around it before biting down gently. Marissa moaned loudly while clinging to the blonde as if her life depended on it.
Satisfied that she had given it enough attention Alex moved to the other breast while her hands worked to undo the Marissa's shorts. Breaking away Alex finished undoing the girl's shorts and then grasped Marissa's hips pulling her off the desk and spinning her around. Alex reached around the girl's body; one hand went north, cupping the taller girl's breast while the other went south heading straight for Marissa's aching center.
Alex wasted no time, getting straight to the point she quickly slid two fingers through the brunette's slick folds and deep into her. Setting up a quick rhythm, stroking in and out, Alex soon had Marissa panting, murmuring unintelligibly all the while demanding more from the blonde. And that is exactly what she gave her. The blonde bit down gently on Marissa's shoulder while she inserted a third finger into the girl's aching channel, curling the probing digits in search of that magic spot that would bring the girl's release. When Alex felt Marissa momentarily stiffen and call her name she knew she had found what she was looking for.
"Oh God Alex, right there. Don't stop." Marissa panted as she reached back tangling her hand into Alex's silken tresses. Alex knew the girl was close when her movements started to become erratic, wanting to bring the girl over the edge; she added her thumb to her movements. With every stroke Alex put pressure on the bundle of nerves. Finally she felt Marissa freeze, back arched, a long moan of ecstasy escaping her lips before she collapsed into Alex's waiting arms.
Alex carefully scooped the sated girl up into her arms and carried her into her room, tucking her into the large bed before quickly stripping down to her t-shirt and boy shorts and climbing in next to the unconscious girl, gathering Marissa's precious body into her arms.
"What about you?" Marissa asked in a whisper surprising Alex. The blonde chuckled quietly.
"Somehow I don't think you are quite up to it right this minute." The girl said before placing a soft kiss on the top of Marissa's head. "I'll get mine later."
"Mm'kay." Marissa said as she cuddled close to Alex's warm and fell into the arms of sleep.
