Alex was still fuming a bit after the couple dropped off their drunk and likely high best friends off at their apartment and the whole drive to Long Island. When they got home, Alex went to her library while Piper tried to leave her alone but she couldn't let their perfect day end this way. Her mother and the love of her life had declared a truce but then Nicky had to go and ruin things as she always tended to do. Sometimes Piper wished she would just go away forever and when a few weeks ago she shakily shared that in an Al-Anon meeting she was met by strong reactions on both sides. She knew she shouldn't say that about a sick person, that one of the hardest things you can experience in this journey was the first loved one you lost. And she didn't want to see Nicky dead and she didn't really want her to disappear forever but Piper had fought like hell against too many people and things to rip Alex from the clutches of shit that was no good for her from the moment she came on to her outside the bathroom at that bar and stole her from Silvia. Then she got her away from Fahri and Kubra and most recently heroin and she was not willing to let Nicky steal the girl she had fought so hard for and who was finally achieving amazing things. She knew she should help the sick person but she also knew Nicky was exactly the sort of woman who could lead her woman astray. If Alex wanted to be butt hurt and isolate herself then she would let her but not without leaving a trail of breadcrumbs for her lover to find. She tiptoed into the library with a glass of Alex's favorite red wine and with a smile set it down. As she predicted Alex, even engrossed in a book, sensed her presence and looked up with one finger between the upper corner of two pages and ran the edge along the rough paper, something that would be meaningless to anybody other than Piper and Alex knew it. This had long been Alex's way of telling her you're next or just wait until I finish this chapter. One of these days the books were bound to get smart to their act and sue her for sexual harassment and assault. But today was not that day.
"I think I'm going to go wash my makeup off and relax in the bath for a little bit. Even with everyone, including my mom, being so accepting that perfect Piper is marrying a nearly thirty-two-year-old lesbian all while asserting that doesn't make me one was stressful. I brought you some wine, I figured you might like to unwind a little."
Alex picked up the glass and smelled it like the wine connoisseur she was, the woman who taught me everything I knew about the world of alcohol outside of frat kegs and cheap margaritas, "You brought me my favorite," she gushed or exclaimed depending on who's version you choose to believe because of course Alex would never admit to gushing, "Thanks, babe."
"I love you. I think I'm gonna go have some me-time myself. Come find me when you're done with your book if you want," Piper told Alex in a sultry tone with darkened blue-grey eyes burning with lust and the true invitation was clear, Alex smiled like a lovestruck little boy who just got a kiss on the cheek from the girl he had spent all morning poking with pencils and pulling her pink ribboned pigtails before she ran to climb the jungle gym and then went back to her book without a word as the blonde headed to their master suite. She grabbed her favorite white striped pajamas and a pink hoodie, not that she thought they'd ever end up on but she knew the rage and jealousy it would elicit from her beloved and that was exactly what she wanted. She wanted to make Alex think she was going to put up a fight when she was making it as easy as possible for the brunette to completely devour her and that she wanted it. She wanted Alex to fuck her but she also wanted it to be Alex's idea, hence the trail of breadcrumbs she left from the wine to the PJs to the clothing strewn along the longest path from the bed to the tub. Piper drew a bath, smelling three different bottles before selecting her bubbles and oils, lavender with a hint of sandalwood. She wanted to feel like she was relaxing in a field of wildflowers in the middle of a forest and that's what she created. After one last check of the water, she slowly lowered one foot and then the other into the bath then leaned her head back on the towel she had folded into a neck pillow and sipped at a glass of a crisp fruity white wine as she tried to do anything other than wait for Alex. She knew how to stay a step ahead of her fiancé, she was probably the only one who had seen enough of Alex's inner workings to know how to bluff better than her. And she needed to be perfect to get what she wanted tonight.
Eventually, Piper heard Alex walk down the hallway calling for her but instead of hollering back she decided to not make a sound. She barely stifled a giggle the moment Alex's steps became quieter as she came to the assumption that the blonde was sleeping. Her plan was working perfectly and she was almost satisfied with her work. Piper imagined Alex coming in their room expecting to see her girl fast asleep, giving her the perfect opportunity to watch her sleep to her heart's content without getting caught. After three years together, Alex still thought Piper had no idea she watched her sleep, that she believed her every time she answered, "nothing," to the question, "whatcha doin', Al?" Alex had never once admitted she thought Piper was the most adorable creature in all the galaxies but she didn't have to.
"Okay, babe. You win, where are you hiding," she hollered as she poked her head out of the room, "Why do you never tell me when you're playing hide and seek and I'm the seeker?"
"Prove to me you know the woman you've been sleeping with for three years and some change," Piper hollered when she finally decided she had had her fill of teasing Alex and was ready for stage two. The blonde knew she was ready for her, not that she would let her know that she had just spent the last fifteen minutes pleasuring myself in the tub. She wanted to make her think she actually had to work for it and that had had been doing anything other than masturbating to thoughts of her perfect tits and toned shoulders, the tattoos on her perfect alabaster skin and those dark flowing waves against her Irish paleness. And it had looked better than it ever had today at the party, Piper noticed all the heads that turned when they saw Alex. A few of them were boys she may have shared a teenage kiss with once upon a time. One guy, her mother had tried to set her up with when she came home from Paris told her, "guess I know now why I didn't have a chance if that's your type." And nobody could ever come close to Alex. Sure she hadn't been with many people and only one as a fully independent adult but she knew Alex was it for her, she was the one.
"You're in our bathtub, aren't you?"
"Come find out," Piper teased in a sultry tone that she was certain knocked the wind out of her fiancé for a moment.
"Well, there you are," Alex declared in the huskiest voice possible, forcing Piper to will herself not to cum and her legs not to move to give her already wet pussy some much needed friction that would never come close to satisfying her.
"Come on in, Vause, the water's fine," Piper teased with a seductive yet warm smile and eyes shimmering with a deep, unwavering desire as she arched her back to let just the slightest bit of her breasts pop above the layer of bubbles.
"That's not the only thing that's fine," she replied as she reached her hand out to rub my breast but Piper laid back in the bath so that nothing above her lips were visible, "You are playing dirty."
"Mmm…I know, doesn't it just make you crazy when actually you have to work for a kill instead of your prey flinging itself at your feet? I know I hate when my lover would rather read when she has a horny, naked blonde in her house. That makes no sense."
"You know I love you. Just sometimes I need my space. Don't think a moment goes by where I don't think about you."
"What sorta thoughts are you having right now?"
"Pulling you outta that tub and sitting you on the counter and having my way with you from the front and then flipping you around and make you listen to me picking and getting my dick ready to put you in your place, little woman. Make you take every inch of my cock from behind until you can't watch or scream and you end up with bruises from the counter because you're a little freak and you like it when I give it to you rough. Maybe I'll even pull your hair a little when you are going truly out of your mind. Maybe I won't let you watch at all and I'll just blindfold you. You won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow you'll be so sore when I get done with you. But you won't need to because I'll spend all day tomorrow waiting on my poor uhm 'sick' wife-to-be like the princess she is and making sweet love to you like we used to when there was a monsoon and we were bored of cards and out of alcohol."
"Mmmm…bring it on. But first, come in here and get me in the mood," Piper taunted as she shimmied her body in the tub just enough to shift the bubbles and make noises as the water moved along with her before smiling a fiendish grin at the brunette then splashed her with perfect aim directed squarely at her face. When Alex grumbled and started to ask 'what the fuck,' the younger woman splashed her shirt, with perfect aim at her breasts and enjoyed the view for a moment before bringing out the big guns, she was going for the nuclear option tonight, "Since you're already wet and all," before I could say another word Alex hastily stripped off her sweats, black bra and an old, worn-out pair of grey cotton panties that women only wear when they don't care how they look and silk panties cease to matter to your lover. She climbed on top of me, grabbed me hard as she worked her leg between mine and kissed me with rough hunger as the younger woman moaned loudly and her body arched into Alex's as they rubbed against each other and their fingers and tongues took on a mind of their own. It wasn't long before Alex was making good on every promise she had just made to Piper and then some. They fucked until they couldn't fuck anymore, at one point Piper found herself all tied up and lying on her back as Alex's mouth explored every inch of her body, teasing the spots she needed her most but was powerless to make the older woman appease. She lost track of how many times she came and even if she was awake or asleep as the brunette took everything she wanted from her lover and the blonde got a few good shots in but only because Alex was the type of woman who needed her release too sometimes. She loved slow dancing with Alex and having all eyes on her as the most gorgeous woman most people had ever seen romanced her like she was the only girl in the world but she also loved this side of her, the sexually dominant woman who knew what she needed and could go until she said the word, which seldom happened. When she was finally on the verge of passing out, Alex collapsed next to Piper and pulled her close as she rubbed her little spoon's pussy gently until she fell asleep with a protective hand still cupping her girl's sex. In the morning, that same hand would have somehow found its way up to her navel as her head rested on the curve of the blonde's neck and the brunette kissed her shoulder in the chilly winter morning sunlight. This was real love.
