A/N
One more short-ish chapter for you here in this story. We need to bring their initial meeting to a wrap. I am considering a sequel of sorts for this one as it seems people are into the setting I've created for our ladies. Maybe even a three part series? Let me know what you think.
For now, we see the pair through the weekend and wind down from another fun smut-fest these two are famous for.
I have really loved your support and participation through this story. It's been so fun! I don't have a firm 'when' on the next one because I am really committed to consistent updates and I won't start the story until I am sure I can follow through with those daily/every other day chapters.
I would love to hear your highlights, as always, from this chapter or any of them really :) It's a joy to wordsmith about these characters and I'm truly thrilled that you enjoy reading my musings.
We peek in on our girls the next morning….
Piper woke in an unfamiliar bed under a strikingly familiar arm. She smiled as the events of the previous night unfurled from her memory like a sail filling with the west wind.
She felt the slow and steady breath to whom the arm around her waist belonged cascading gently along the back of her neck. She didn't dare move, unwilling to break the spell of Alex's sweet sleep.
Recalling snippets of their evening conversation and activities, Piper couldn't help but feel sheltered in this room. It was a safe place. A greenhouse for the freshly burst seed peeking up through the soil in her heart.
She wasn't a naive twenty-something anymore - she knew this possibility of a second chance with Alex wouldn't be without it's challenges. But she also couldn't help hoping. She couldn't stop that warmth of something fresh from wrapping around her heart like a blanket.
Feeling a set of lips break the breezy rhythm on her neck, she nuzzled back further into the warm body behind her.
"Good morning, Beautiful." The tone of Alex's first words in the morning is impossibly deep.
The blonde smiles. "Mmmmm. That's new. I like it."
Tightening her arm in response, Alex adds, "It's true. It's always been true. But something new seems fitting."
Piper rolls over into the space under her lover's chin, "How long do you have this room?"
"How long do you want me to have this room?"
Grinning into the pale skin of Alex's neck, Piper speaks her next words over the ticklish spot under an ear she knows so well. "I just want to know if we need to be in a hurry to get out of this bed."
Not really waiting for a response, she quickly disappears under the cover of white linen, leaving trails with lips and fingertips down the length of Alex's body.
"God...Piper…" Words surface intermingled with moans and whimpers as the lightest touches possible feather her skin into flames. She is completely at Piper's mercy.
She moves her hands toward Piper's hair but is surprised when they come up empty. Opening her eyes, she meets a pair of smouldering blue flames staring back.
Shaking her head slightly, Piper instructs in no uncertain terms, "I'll tell you when you can touch me."
"Jesus. Fuck." Alex balls her hands into fists and slams them into the pillow behind her head. Her frustration is real but it's such a tantalizing problem.
Brushing her fingers faintly over the rise of Alex's chest, Piper calls the darkness of those stunning nipples to life. She's teasing. And it's working beautifully.
She opens her mouth over each of them but breath is the only sensation that reaches skin. Alex arches toward her, her body begging for more but Piper won't relent. She wants the brunette undone and pleading out loud.
Continuing her sweet torture, she traces belly, thighs and ass. Devilishly light and far too quick in her movements over the entirety of Alex's striking form. Goosebumps erupt over every surface - the skin's ultimate honesty showing itself as evidence of Piper's vexing success.
The sounds Alex is managing are full of desperation and fervor. Her legs grind together in a hopeless attempt to relieve the burning between them.
Piper raises up briefly from her position at Alex's feet and admires her handiwork. She curls her fingers behind the brunette's knees and pulls her several inches down the bed.
Kissing her way back up Alex's legs, she moves her own knees to her left beside the body beneath, stopping briefly over the quivering heat between her thighs. She lets loose a low growl that drives blots of anticipation into every corner of Alex's being. It's quickly becoming more than she can handle.
"Piper...oh my...God, Piper."
Smiling,she kneels next to her lover. Her left hand moves swiftly over the junction between the sheet and Alex's ass causing her hips to lurch away from the ticklish touch. At the same time, the blonde's right hand brings Alex's knees up and rolls her on her side so they're facing each other.
Lifting Alex's left knee upward, Piper lays her head on the pillow provided by the brunette's right thigh and moves her lower half up toward Alex's head.
As if she knew it was coming, Alex lifts her face toward Piper's opening center. Her hands are still obediently still but it's taking every ounce of control she has.
"Alex," Piper rests her mouth a hair's breadth from what promises to be a drool-worthy breakfast.
The helpless, starving moan that escapes the other woman's lips brings a sneaky smile to her face.
"Let's eat."
Furiously, ravenously, immediately the brunette obliges. Taking no shortcuts in the feast before her, Alex is uncaged.
They lay next to each other in mutual abandon, filling their mouths and hands with every available surface. It's not long before they begin moving together, hips rolling freely toward eager kisses.
Alex claws shamelessly at Piper's exposed back, leaving pink trails in crosshatch. As if returning the sentiment, Piper sinks her nails into the fleshy rise of Alex's ass as she mercilessly sucks and nibbles at her clit.
Their pace increases quickly. Piper moans directly against the sensitive nerves under her tongue, initiating a domino effect that takes them both down violently.
The buck against each other, hips unhinged and conflicted - overwhelmed by the stimulation of climax but desperately wanting to prolong it as long as possible.
From which mouth comes which sound is indiscernible. Piper groans and pants against Alex's helpless lips, jolting under the effects of the brunette's pleasure-wracked moans.
They twitch and jerk in a mangled mess of legs and limbs, drunk on the taste of each other and too spent to move.
Alex rolls to her back first, closely followed by her trembling partner. "I can't feel my legs," she breathes heavy still in the aftermath of Piper's wake up call.
"Yeah...give it a minute," the blonde doesn't seem concerned.
Still on their backs opposite each other, Piper finds Alex's hand between them and interlaces their fingers together. They lay there calming down for several minutes before Alex speaks.
"I'm going to have a quick shower and find my toothbrush. Then I'm taking you to breakfast and we can decide what we want to do with our day."
In their previous evening conversations, Piper had told her she wasn't working today. So she made an executive decision to follow suit, firing off a quick text to Lorna letting her know she would see her Monday.
"Yeah about the toothbrush…" Piper sits up, looking concerned.
Alex plants a kiss on her forehead as she leans over her legs and grabs the phone. "I got it, babe."
The term of endearment catches Piper off guard even though she has used several for Alex in the throes of passion recently. It causes such a dizzy swell of deja vu in her head that she's glad she's still sitting.
"Hey Charles, will you please send up a toothbrush and an extra robe? Thanks." Turning to Piper, she winks. "Done."
"You are on a first name basis with the front desk?" Piper shouldn't be surprised but can't help but comment.
Eyebrow rising as Alex slides off the bed, she chuckles, "Oh yeah, Chuck and I go way back. Also, he said his name when he picked up."
Piper throws a pillow at the naked woman walking away from her. "Ass."
The brunette slaps her own cheek as she disappears into the bathroom, "Might wanna throw something on before Chuck shows up with your stuff."
Piper darts quickly from the bed into the sitting room. She folded her clothes on the table by the door between their evening romps, never bothering to dress in them again when Alex had offered her a tank and shorts of hers.
She had barely managed to throw her sweater over her wild hair before hearing a knock at the elevator door. Unsure what to do, she offered a timid, "Come in" and was thankful when the door opened without her assistance.
By the time she made her way back to the bathroom, Alex was exiting wrapped in a robe and a smile, "All yours."
When Piper emerged from the bathroom after a quick shower of her own, Alex was dressed in back jeans and a flannel button up over a black tank from her seemingly endless supply. She approached the blonde and kissed her softly, "Good morning, Beautiful."
The two enjoyed breakfast at one of Alex's go-to bagel huts several blocks away. Alex asked how Piper felt about heading across the bridge to her place for the remainder of the weekend. "We'll talk," she offered. "We'll take the weekend and we'll just talk and be together and see if we are still as good together out of bed as we are in it."
Alex checked out of her suite while Piper ducked in to her office to collect some clothes and her toiletries - thankful for this stash a second time in 24 hours. She waited until the noon hour when her team would be at lunch in order to avoid inevitable questions on her day off.
They arrived back at Alex's house by mid afternoon. Piper was intrigued when Alex's first action upon returning home was to put a bowl of cat food on the porch.
"You have a cat?" She knew Alex had been in the city all week and was concerned.
Alex laughed softly, "Sort of. I would say it's more of a 'A cat has me' type situation. He just showed up shortly after I moved in and I started putting food out. Linda across the street puts it out when I'm not here. Hugh kind of does what he wants. Never had a mouse in here, though. So that's a perk."
"Well, I can't wait to meet him." Piper smiled. "That sounds so weird to say to you even though I know it's about a cat."
Alex kissed her with a little more possessiveness than the last time, "Definitely a cat."
After giving Piper a quick tour of her modest, comfortably decorated home, Alex made coffee and they made their way to the front porch.
"What do you say we continue our 20 questions from last night?" Piper ventured.
Nodding in agreement, Alex offered to begin, "What's your worst habit?"
Piper smiled into her mug, "Starting with an easy one, eh Vause?"
Alex shrugged and sipped her coffee.
They talked all afternoon there on the porch, sipping coffee and learning the adult versions of each other. They promised honest answers and taking things one day at a time.
Piper met Linda and Hugh. She told Alex about her several failed attempts at love and how she smiled every time she had to explain her tattoo.
They made love a dozen more times before the weekend was out, finding fire and fulfillment every time.
Alex drove Piper to her office Monday morning like it was the most natural thing she'd ever done.
"Call me," she joked after a sweet kiss over the center console.
Piper smiled back, "You know I will."
