Do not own Orange Is The New Black or any of the characters.
So I think this is the chapter you've all been waiting for. There is a bit of everything in it and it's all pure Vauseman!
If anyone is worried if I won't be finishing this story just because I have a new one, you don' have to be. This still will get done. It kinda is already done or on my computer it is.
Anyways, here is a little Vauseman to make your day a little brighter.
Enjoy!
The light misty rain had turned to hard downpour outside. The wind whistled loudly against the window. A storm was about to come. A '90s slow jam could be heard playing softly in the background. However, neither Alex or Piper paid too much attention to the weather outside or the music playing. They were too preoccupied with each other to take notice of anything else.
Half abandoned wine glasses sat on the coffee table, along with a charcuterie board that Piper mere hours ago had carefully arranged was left untouched. Alex wasn't interested in eating and neither was Piper. They'd sat on the couch drinking wine for a few moments trying to hold a conversation. However, they both knew this wasn't about chit-chat. Not right now that was. They both craved something a little more physical than talking.
Alex stretched her long body over Piper's as she pressed her into the overstuffed couch cushions. She pressed her lips softly against the blonde's, savoring them for a second. Her heart was pounding as she drew her lips once again against hers. She smirked a little as she opened her eyes and looked down at Piper, who wore an expression of pure desire on her face.
They kissed again, this time longer and deeper.
Piper tasted sweet to Alex due to the wine on her tongue. This just added to her arousal as she continued to kiss Piper hard on the mouth. She wanted to take her time tonight with Piper. For the first time, they had all the time in the world to enjoy and explore one's bodies.
Time was on their side tonight.
Alex slipped her tongue in between Piper's parted lips. She ran the tip of it along the edge of her lower teeth before flicking it deep inside.
Piper kissed her hungrily back. She ran her hands through her dark mass of frizzy wet hair and down the back of her long neck. Her heart was racing, as anticipation of what the night would bring ran through her blood. She couldn't wait to get Alex up to the bedroom and have sex for once fully naked and not some random half-dressed state all their encounters had been before.
They continued to kiss for a moment longer before Alex began to trail a hotline of kisses along the curve of Piper's neck. She sucked and nibbled at the delicate soft skin, inhaling the sweet lavender notes of her perfume. "You smell good," she commented in between kisses. "I like lavender."
Piper let out a girlish giggle as Alex's lips tickled a sensitive spot on her neck.
Alex smiled a small grin at this sound. Wren usually giggled, every now and then in bed, but it never sounded as good as when Piper did it. Where Wren's had a note of annoyance and fakeness behind it. Piper's had been genuine. To arouse the same reaction again, Alex tenderly kissed the spot again.
"Aalex…" laughed Piper, squirming underneath the brunette.
"What?" whispered Alex innocently.
She pressed a quick kiss to the blonde's cheek before finding her way to her lips again.
The couple kissed passionately while allowing hands to begin to roam. Piper's hands worked their way up to Alex's damp shirt, feeling the knobs of her spine. She loved how soft the other woman's skin was against her fingers. It was so different from Larry's dry and bumpy skin. She pushed this thought quickly away from her mind. She didn't want to think about her husband and compare him to her new lover. Instead, she focused on how good Alex's mouth felt against her own. The blonde arched her back and pressed her body up against Alex's as her hands hovered over the hook of her bra.
She sucked roughly on Alex's bottom lip as her fingers worked their way through unclasping the bra. A wave of arousal spread through Piper's lower region as Alex's pillowy breasts were released from the confinements of the bra and bounced slightly against her own chest. She immediately edged her hands around Alex's sides and to the front, feeling the rapid rise and fall of her ribcage with each breath.
Alex groaned slightly as Piper's hands landed on her breasts. Piper cupped them in her hands, gently massaging them before sliding her fingers over the sensitive skin of her nipples and pulling slightly on the taut skin.
Alex moaned out as another wave of pleasure rocked through her core. Piper grinned wickedly in response to Alex's moan. She pulled once again on the nipples, this time harder and longer. She couldn't get enough of Alex's tits.
They continued to kiss and touch each other, bodies humping into one another until the need to break was too much. Despite the AC blasting, the room had grown increasingly hot.
"Let's go upstairs," murmured Piper as she slid her hands out from Alex's shirt and tried to sit up.
"Ok," whispered back Alex in a hoarse voice. She removed herself from Piper and rose to her feet. She was more than willing to continue this in the bedroom. She reached for her glasses which she'd left on the coffee table and put them back on before following Piper out of the room.
Piper took Alex by the hand and led her up the stairs towards the master bedroom. She didn't bother to flick on the lights as she pulled Alex towards her. Her heart was racing as her hands immediately went to Alex's hips. The two women smiled at each other in the dark before crashing their mouths together. Their tongues flicked and danced around each other as they slowly moved towards the bed.
Alex had one of her hands on the side of Piper's face as the other hand ran through Piper's short blonde hair, she pulled on it slightly, causing Piper to whimper out in surprise.
The back of Alex's thighs came in contact with the edge of the bed, making her fall down onto the plush mattress, pulling Piper down with her. They stayed like this for a second before Piper clambered off of Alex.
Piper took off the dress she was wearing and next moved to undo the fly of Alex's jeans. She pulled down the zipper in a hasty movement. She then next pulled hard on the waistband, indicating she wanted them off and now! Alex helped her remove the tight jeans from her body by shaking her hips, wiggling them down her ass to her thighs. In another moment the jeans were removed and discarded on the floor.
Alex looked at Piper from her spot on the bed, as she began to remove the rest of her undergarments, leaving her completely naked. Alex licked her lips like a predator about to taste the hunt. She craved to taste and devour the blonde. Alex next quickly removed the rest of her own clothes and put her glasses onto one of the end tables.
A clasp of lightning from outside cast the room in an eerie sudden light. Both women looked briefly towards the window as it caught them off guard. But didn't linger on it for much longer as Piper went to join Alex on the bed. Alex reached out, placing a tender touch to Piper's hip as they turned to face one another on the bed.
They shared a look of mutual longing and desire.
There was no doubt in either of their minds that they both wanted this.
They kissed softly regaining the intimacy they'd created downstairs. They kissed over and over again in a series. Just their lips smacking over and over again, growing feverishly more passionate with each one. It didn't take long before all caution was thrown to the wind and they gave in to animal instincts.
Alex pulled Piper's lower lip into her mouth and sucked on it hard before pinning the other woman down onto her back and nuzzling the side of her neck. Her hands held Piper's wrist down on either side of her head as she slid a knee in between her legs.
The blonde's body immediately arched and responded to Alex's weight on top of her. She flexed her hips so that her throbbing cunt ever so slightly brushed up against Alex's thigh like a feather against bare skin. She shuddered inwardly as a line of pleasure ran down her spine.
Alex slowly released her hold on Piper's wrists as she began to kiss and lick her way down Piper's body. She spent some time on her small perky chest. She licked along the base of her left tit before taking the hardened peak in between her lips.
Piper let out a low soft moan like a cat purring in response to Alex's action. Her body was pulsing with pleasure as she squirmed underneath Alex's body. The little amount of wine she had drunk earlier had given her a nice buzzed feeling intensifying every touch and caress on her skin.
"You smell good," commented Piper.
"I smell like a wet dog," chuckled Alex as she lifted her head and looked at Piper.
"I like it," murmured Piper with a small smile. "It's musky."
Alex let out a low husky laugh in response to this. She didn't know if she should be offended or not by this. She didn't think she smelt particularly good at the moment, but whatever floats the other woman boat she guessed. She shook her head slightly in disbelief before taking Piper's nipple back into her mouth. She batted the peak back and forth with her tongue before sucking on it hard and long.
This earned her another satisfying moan from Piper.
This continued on for a little while longer as Alex savored Piper's tits and Piper ran her hands through Alex's hair.
Thunder boomed in the distance, adding to the passion of their lovemaking. The thrilling sounds of thunder seemed to intensify the thrill and excitement of the night.
Alex led a trail of kisses down Piper's soft navel towards where a freshly shaven sex awaited her. As her mouth made its way down, her hands roamed circles along her toned thighs, pushing her legs open further. As much as she wanted to devour and dine on Piper's cunt, she avoided it for the time being. Instead, she kissed around it; starting at the delicate skin of her bikini line and making her way along her inner thigh to her knee. Stretching Piper's right leg upwards and holding it to her shoulder, Alex leaned back on the heels of her feet and took Piper's big toe into her mouth.
Piper stared intensely up at Alex, her eyes dark with desire as she watched as Alex sucked and kissed on each of her toes. She whimpered and squirmed against the surface of the bed as the pleasure continued to build within.
"Oh fuck...that's good..."
Alex couldn't help but smile at hearing the blonde's response. Foot play was always one of those things that could go either good or bad. She sucked on Piper's big toe again before placing a tender kiss to the arch of her foot. She then kissed her way down again from her ankle along the smooth curve of her calf muscle to the inside of her knee. She then let go of Piper's right leg and repeated the same action with the left one.
By the time Alex positioned herself in between Piper's legs, the blonde's body was on edge. She was craving the sweet release that came with orgasm but at the same time, she didn't want to rush it. She didn't want this to end, ever.
Alex appeared at Piper briefly before running her tongue over her cunt. The blonde's legs fell open even further on the bed, whimpering in response to Alex's sudden touch. She repeated the movement again before softly running a finger through her folds. She continued to tease and taste her gently, adding more and more pressure as she went. It wasn't before long Piper was begging her to stop.
Piper's body felt like it was on fire.
Alex smirked at hearing the blonde's response, it was music to her ears to hear her beg for release. She sucked gently on her clit before sliding two fingers into her wetness while a third rubbed around her backdoor. She pumped her fingers slowly in and out and in and out again before quicken her pace. She lapped up Piper's wetness with her tongue as she continued to finger her.
Piper's hands flew to her breasts, cupping them between her palms as she moved her hips to match Alex's movements.
The two women's eyes never wavered from each other as they continued to make love.
Piper tried to hold onto her orgasm for a little while longer. She didn't want to cum so quickly like she knew she was capable of. However, Alex wasn't making it easy for her, and she knew this.
The brunette wanted to make Piper scream as she continued to thrust her fingers rapidly in and out of her wet pussy and flicked her engorged clit with her tongue.
A few moments passed the stillness of the room quicking swelling with the sounds of their lovemaking.
Piper groaned and called out Alex's name in ecstasy as she climaxed.
Alex watched the rise and fall of Piper's chest as she came down from her orgasm. The brunette stayed in between her legs for a moment longer, slowly slowing down her movements before quietly withdrawing her coated fingers and pressing one last kiss to her clit.
Alex kissed her way back up Piper's body to her lips. She smirked at the blonde as she lay down beside her.
"You're spent," noted Alex.
The blonde just smiled sheepishly in return. She just needed a few moments to regain her breath and she would be ready for round two.
Alex pressed an open mouth kiss to the blonde's shoulder before sliding off the bed.
Piper looked up in confusion at this.
"Bathroom?" asked Alex in the darkness of the room.
"It's just behind you," replied Piper.
"Ok. I'll be right back."
"Ok," whispered Piper back before slumping back down into the softness of the bed.
Alex turned on her heel and felt her way to the open bathroom door. It took her a second to find the light switched. She closed her eyes briefly as the sudden bright light assaulted her. She quickly washed her hands, using one of Piper's fancy soaps before drying them roughly on the nearby hand towel. She turned off the light as she came back into the bedroom.
"Is this one of yours?" she couldn't help but ask as she brought her hands up to her face and smelt the floral scent on them.
"Yes."
"It smells pretty good," commented Alex as she laid down back onto the bed.
"Thanks," mumbled Piper as she turned onto her side to face Alex. She'd regained her energy and was ready for round two. She brought a hand up to Alex's face and caressed the side of her cheek, admiring how soft her skin was. She gave Alex a small smile before pulling her face closer to her own and kissing her passionately.
Not breaking the kiss, Piper moved so that she was now on top of Alex, straddling her hips.
As they continued to tongue fuck, Piper brought her hands to Alex's chest and began to paw at them roughly. It was her time to make Alex squirm and whimper with desire. She boldly pulled at her nipples, admiring how they hardened immediately at her touch.
Alex's hands flew to Piper's chest as well. She wanted to make her feel good too.
They stayed like this for a moment longer before Piper was lying her body carefully down on top of Alex's. She kissed the side of Alex's neck as she pressed her chest into hers. The sensitive skin of nipples briefly brushing up against one another. This sent a trail of goosebumps along both women's backs.
As Alex had, Piper kissed her way slowly down the length of her body. She loved the feel of the soft little hairs that covered Alex's skin against her own. It was like buttery suede, she thought.
Alex's leg fell open for Piper as she finally positioned herself between them. The couple exchanged a look before Piper bent her head down and began to eat away at Alex.
Piper licked up her from the bottom to the top. Alex moaned deeply as she got to her clit, and batted at it. Piper then put her lips over her nether lips, and stuck her tongue out again, searching...tasting...
Piper moved her tongue around and stuck it softly into Alex. This earned her another earful moan of pleasure. The blonde couldn't help but smile slightly for a second in triumph. She loved how she could make Alex moan so passionately like that. Alex, who was unlike Piper seemed harder to fuck, or at least the blonde thought so. Maybe she was just doubting her own abilities and power in the bedroom.
Alex whimpered before she grabbed Piper by the head and pushed her slightly down again. She didn't like how Piper had suddenly stopped.
Piper quickly obligated and went back to the task at hand. She swirled her tongue around her hole before slipping a finger into it. She then dragged her tongue back up to her clit as her finger pushed slowly in and out of Alex's pussy.
Alex leaned her head back and moaned loudly as the warmth of pleasure filled the pit of her stomach. Her heart was racing in anticipation of what Piper's tongue would do next.
Piper licked and swirled her tongue around her clit being careful not to overstimulate it too quickly. She didn't want Alex to cum too fast. She wanted her to enjoy this, just like she'd done the same for her.
Alex ran her hand through Piper's hair as her hips bucked against her face. She wanted Piper to go there. She couldn't take these soft and slow touches. She wanted to cum...she could feel her orgasm. Alex gasped and moaned as Piper slid a second finger into her. The blonde's movements became more rapid as she swirled her tongue urgently against her clit and drew circles with her digits along the walls of her vagina in search of her g-spot.
The brunette's hips began to thrust as she held Piper's head firmly between her legs.
"FUCK!" she swore before she cried out with her orgasm. She continued to move her hips against Piper's mouth and moaned softly, feeling out every ounce of pleasure until she couldn't take it any longer. Her legs fell open lazily as her hand dropped to her stomach as if someone had suddenly pulled the power cord on her.
Piper whipped her mouth as she moved back up onto her haunches. Her eyes fell onto Alex, who was too spent to do anything. She watched as the brunette's chest heaved with heavy breaths. She had her eyes closed not noticing her staring.
Piper licked her lips and couldn't help but smile again at how good of a job she'd done.
"Do you ever feel guilty?" asked Piper quietly as she ran a hand over Alex's breast and softly caressed it. "About what we're doing?"
The couple had just finished with their love-making...for now, that was. They both knew that there would be more sexy time later. Right now they were taking a much-needed break.
It had stopped storming outside. It looked like it had cleared up as a line of moonlight faded into the room.
"No," said Alex honestly.
She didn't feel guilty.
It wasn't like she didn't have a conscience.
She did.
She wasn't a shitty person.
She just didn't feel the need to be guilty over this affair they were currently having. She didn't love Wren and yes, Piper was married, but she didn't have any kids. She wasn't being a homewrecker. She figured she would feel more guilty and bad if there were kids involved. However, there wasn't. Plus this wasn't exactly her first time sleeping with someone that wasn't her partner. Alex had never been good by playing by the rules.
"But what about your girlfriend?"
Alex gave her a look suggesting this wasn't her first time cheating on her partner. "It's complicated."
The blonde frowned slightly at this response. She opened her mouth to ask what that exactly meant that it was complicated. But quickly decided against it. All of a sudden, she didn't want to know any further details about Alex's relationship. Instead, another question popped into her head.
"Do you think we're terrible people...for what we're doing? You know you always hear stories about cheating and affairs..and from a distance...it sounds bad, but now that I'm here...I don't feel bad. Not like I thought I would feel. Does that make me a terrible person?" Piper lifted herself up onto her elbows so she could see Alex's face better.
"No! I think we all do what we need to do to survive," answered Alex honestly, as she locked eyes with Piper. She reached out and gently caressed the side of the blonde's cheek. She didn't like the look that was currently on the blonde's face.
Piper was quiet for a moment as she processed what Alex had said. Is that what she was doing? She thought. She knew she was using Alex as a distraction but was what she was really doing just trying to survive life?
Leaning forward, Alex captures her lips between her own. She didn't want Piper to have to second guess herself anymore.
Pulling apart, she pressed her forehead to hers. The side of her thumb continues to caress the soft skin of her cheek. Her heart was racing as she continued to allow herself to get lost in those big blue pools. Alex's body was coursing with all sorts of strong feelings for this woman at the moment.
"I like you."
Piper's eyes widened in astonishment at what Alex had just admitted. It wasn't like she had uttered the love word, but it felt like it. She hadn't been expecting it. Her pulse quickened as a mixture of feelings came over her suddenly. She didn't know how to quite express her feelings towards the brunette. She wanted to say it back, that she liked her too. Which she did. However, at the same time, she was thinking about her husband. She'd made a vow to him. That course didn't mean shit anymore, seeing how she'd been sleeping and possibly falling for the sexy neighbour.
Those three little words hung heavily in the stillness of the bedroom as the two women continued to stare intensely at each other. Alex, who was still caressing the side of Piper's face, hadn't exactly said those words to gain a response from her. She wasn't a teenager confessing her true feelings to her crush. She was a fucking grown woman. She didn't need her feelings to be returned...necessarily. Although having her feelings be returned would be nice. She didn't need it. She'd confessed more to give herself some sort of relief. She wanted Piper to know that she cared about her and deeply. She wanted her to know that this thing they were doing was so much more than just simple fucking.
"I like you too," whispered Piper back.
Alex's face broke out into a smile at hearing this. She couldn't help but admit it made her heart flutter to hear that Piper felt the same way.
Piper returned the smile before pulling her into a passionate kiss.
The air hung heavily of rain and earth as the two women sat on the damp steps of Piper's back porch and finished off the untouched bottle of wine from earlier.
"So what's your wildest fantasy? You're deepest desire?" asked Alex as she turned to face Piper. The couple had been going back and forth with each other, asking stupid little questions like this in an attempt to get to know each other better.
"Fantasy? Like sexual?" Piper rebutted, nearly choking on her wine as she did so.
"No! Not necessary," replied Alex. "But tell me anyway...Depending on what it is. I'll try to make it happen…" She wagged her eyebrows suggestively at the blonde as she leaned slightly towards her. A shit-eating grin was plastered across her face. She was suddenly intrigued to hear about Piper's sexual fantasies. The image of tying Piper up to her four-poster bed from earlier flashed across her mind...
"You sound like a genie," laughed Piper, drunkenly. "Are you going to grant me three wishes?"
"If they all have to do with something in the bedroom, then yes - I'll grant you all your sex wishes!" boasted Alex, with a playful wink. She was amused with her own joke. She liked the idea of being Piper's genie.
Piper shoved Alex playfully in the arm. She was pretending to be mad at Alex's dirty mind. However, the look of utter delight on her face told another story. She knew there were a couple of wishes that she could possibly ask Alex for…
"Now seriously. What do you want most out of this shitty life?" Alex hadn't meant for her original question to turn dirty. She truly did want to get to know Piper on a deeper level. She knew by asking Piper what she wanted most out of life she was beginning to walk down a slippery slope. She knew there was a 50/50 chance that Piper might say she wanted to have a baby most or something.
"I've always wanted to travel. That sounds lame, doesn't it? Ughh, I'm so boring. I've just never gotten to travel like I thought I would after college. I backpacked across Europe with Polly one summer, but nothing really exciting," huffed Piper, a not of regret in her voice.
"Where do you want to go?" asked Alex, who was both slightly relieved and surprised by Piper's answer.
"I've always liked the idea of Thailand," confessed Piper like a child telling a secret. Her eyes shined brightly as a somewhat dreamy look flashed across her features for a moment. However, the look quickly flickered away as she suddenly downcasted her eyes and stared into the empty wine glass in her hands.
"Thailand is nice. I like Bali better though. Food's better."
"I get to travel sometime for work," added the brunette noting the look of awe on Piper's face. "Mostly conferences. Nothing too glamorous."
"It's still something." There was a slight taste of bitterness to the blonde's words. She didn't mean to sound envious of Alex, but she was. She'd done more traveling with her family as a child then as a grown-ass adult.
"Your husband doesn't want to take you around the world?" Alex asked lightly out of curiosity.
"Haha, Larry!? No way! He's way more comfortable staying at home and binge-watching Mad Men or somethin'. We did have plans to go to Iceland once…" Her voice faded as a painful memory suddenly invaded her thoughts. She'd forgotten about their promise trip to the nordic country.
"What happened?"
"It was around the time…" Piper gestured slightly with her right hand in a circular motion. She looked off into the distance of the backyard where a lone rabbit had just appeared out of the bushes.
"Ah." Alex took looked over at the rabbit as it moved across the grass.
"Yeah," admitted Piper sadly. She'd forgotten about the almost-trip to Iceland that Larry and her and take a good year to plan. The trip had eaten away mostly at their savings, but it was going to be a once in a lifetime trip. It was also going to be their first big trip abroad together too.
"You can still go to Iceland one day," offered Alex in a sad attempt to cheer the blonde up.
"Yeah. One day. Maybe," Piper spoke softly as she smiled sadly at Alex.
Alex pursed her lips at seeing this torn broken Piper beside her. She hated the sadness in her voice. She was overcome with the sudden urge to whisk Piper away from this shallow town and to Iceland. It was a place she hadn't gotten a chance to visit either. She hoped in her deepest fantasies that she would be able to explore Iceland with Piper one day. She knew it was a very far-fetched idea, but it gave her a funny feeling in the pit of her stomach the more she thought about it. It was the kind of feeling one got when they sensed that something good was bound to happen.
A deafening silence fell over them as they continued to sit there on the steps of Piper's back porch, listening to the singing of crickets. The rabbit was gone now, disappearing underneath the fence and into the neighbor's yard. Alex reached out and took Piper's free hand into her own.
The blonde looked down at their intertwined fingers before shifting her eyes upwards to Alex's face.
They held each other's gaze for a second longer before Alex leaned forward and kissed Piper tenderly on the lips.
"Wait," spoke Piper as she broke away from the kiss.
A look of confusion was painted across Alex's features at this.
"You didn't tell me what your deepest fantasy was? What do you Alex Vause want most out of this shitty life?" inquired Piper with a grin plastered on her face. Her eyes sparkling with mischief up at the brunette.
Alex's go-to response was for her mom to still be herself, that she hadn't ever gotten sick. But she didn't want to bring the mood down again. So instead she dug a little deeper within herself for an answer. What did she want most out of life? It was a question she'd never really been asked before or thought about. If she asked her younger self that question she would've said money or to move to the city; both of which she'd accomplished. As an adult though, she didn't know what she wanted.
"I honestly don't fuckin' know," replied Alex with a sad shrug of her shoulders. "I've long ago stopped fantasizing about stuff, I guess...God, that's depressing."
"Kinda," snickered Piper.
"Fuck you!" cried Alex, mockingly pushing the blonde away.
"AL!" laughed Piper as she fell sideways onto the porch.
Their laughter rang out into the stillness of the night. Both had forgotten where they were for a second as they continued to laugh uncontrollably at nothing really. Neither seemed to care that a certain someone might overhear them.
"Now seriously," whispered Alex as she turned to face Piper full on. "Tell me your three sexiest wishes!"
Piper scuffed at this. "What are you...my fuckin' sex genie or something now?"
"Wooo call me that from now on...sex genie," taunted Alex with a look of seduction on her face. She loved the name sex genie. It was hot.
"Ok...if you're going to be my sex genie...then I'm your master," added Piper, wickedly. If Alex was going to be the genie, she wanted to be the master.
"No. No. I'm the master," injected Alex with a slight shake of her head. This wasn't going to work if Piper told her what to do.
"But you can't be both," pointed out Piper.
"Who says?"
"Well the tv show 'I Dream of Jeannie' for one," explained Piper, thinking back to the old tv show. "Jeannie always called Tony Nelson, Master."
"Yes, but didn't they end up getting married," thought Alex thinking back to what she could remember from the show.
"So? She still called him Master."
"That's fucked up. You shouldn't call your spouse Master. That's some hetero-sexist-male-ego bullshit right there." Alex stabbed her finger at the air at this statement.
"Well, it was the 60's."
"Exactly! And it's now the 21st century. Where a woman can be both the genie and master if she wants to be!"
"You're ridiculous."
"Come on...just say it...you know you want too…"
"Alex!" laughed Piper trying to pull away from her hold.
"Come on...say it….say it…."
"Fine!" huffed Piper admitting defeat. "You're my sex genie!"
Alex's eyes gleamed with mischief before she pulled Piper closer and captured her lips between her own.
"Are you hungry?" asked Piper towards Alex as they came back into the house. It had been a few hours since Alex had come over and it was only dawning on her now that they hadn't eaten a thing but each other.
As if on cue, Alex's stomach let out a loud grumble.
Piper couldn't help but laugh at this. "I'll take that as a yes!"
"As you are aware I went grocery shopping earlier," explained the blonde as she gave Alex a knowing smile before heading over to the fridge. "I've to warn you though, I'm not much of a cook."
"Neither am I," spoke Alex bluntly. The brunette hovered by the counter watching as Piper opened the fridge and began to pull out random things.
"Good," Piper looked over her shoulder and smiled reassuringly to the other woman. "It makes me feel better that I'm not the only one who doesn't know how to cook. I dunno, maybe it's my friends...but it seems like everybody over the age of thirty knows how to cook a gourmet meal. It's like they all snapped into these Michelin star chefs right after their thirtieth birthday." She was referring to mostly Polly and there other mutual friends who were married. Back in college, she remembered Polly had almost burned the house down while attempting to make toast. She didn't understand the sudden improvement of her friend's cooking skills.
"I didn't get that memo," replied the brunette.
"Me either. Maybe it's all the Food Network they consumed over the years. Or the need to hoist fuckin' dinner parties at every chance they can get," rambled on Piper as she continued to pull stuff out of the fridge. She had no idea what she was going to make, but she was up for the challenge.
"You're not into all that?" asked Alex as she took a step closer towards Piper and looked down at the arrangement of food that the blonde had selected.
"What being fuckin' Betty Crocker or somethin'?" replied Piper as she closed the fridge door and looked over at Alex. "No." Maybe a couple of months ago she would have answered differently, but right now she didn't give a rat's ass about hoisting dinner parties and all that shit.
"Good," Alex stated in the agreement as she pushed her glasses on top of her head and leaned into Piper. "Me either."
They shared a soft kiss but didn't allow it to go any further. The need for food was too hard to ignore any longer.
"So...what's for dinner, chef?" asked Alex playfully as she gestured to the countertop full of food.
After some back-and-forth, they finally decided on a simple meal of roasted veg and lemon chicken. It wasn't anything fancy, but neither cared. It was something they both knew somewhat how to make.
"Okay, you start with cutting up the carrots and potatoes...and I'll start caramelizing some onions," explained Piper as she handed Alex a cutting board and a chef knife.
"Yes, Chef," echoed Alex, in pure mockery as she took the board and knife from Piper's outstretched hand.
"I'll stab you," taunted Piper as she reached for her own knife and jabbed it into the air.
"Woo, watch it there, Betty Crocker!" smirked Alex as she took a small step back from Piper. She lifted her hands in mock surrender.
Piper just stuck out her tongue towards the other woman before turning her back to her and focusing her attention onto the large yellow onion waiting to be chopped. She took a deep breath, before slowly beginning to chop it.
For the first few moments, the only sounds that could be heard were the quiet noises of knives slicing through vegetables and hitting surfaces. They weren't exactly the smoothest of noises you would expect to be hearing from professional chefs, but they weren't bad.
"Fuck!" swore Piper loudly as she suddenly dropped her knife onto the cutting board and took a step back.
Alex immediately stopped what she was doing and looked over at Piper. A sense of panic washed over her as she thought the blonde had cut herself or something worse.
"Fuck!" swore Piper again.
"Are you okay?" asked Alex as she took two large steps towards Piper. She touched her on the hip, forcing her to face her. Her heart began to race as she noticed the tears streaming down Piper's face. Her eyes lingered there for a second before looking down at the blonde's hands, which she was holding by her chest. Alex immediately reached for them and began to look for any signs of cuts or blood.
"I thought you cut yourself…" murmured Alex as she realized that Piper was fine. She continued to hold Piper's hands through as she looked back up at the tear-stained face of the blonde.
"No...it's the damn onion…" sniffled the blonde, whose eyes shined with unshed tears.
"Fuck!" she swore again as she tilted her head back attempting to make the stinging to go away.
A grin spread across Alex's face as she realized why Piper was crying. She couldn't help but begin to laugh in amusement at Piper's pain.
"It's not fuckin' funny!" cried Piper. "It fuckin' hurts!"
"I know…" murmured Alex as she tried to suppress her laughter. She placed a kiss to Piper's forehead in a gesture of apology.
"Here. Let me help you." Alex then let go of Piper's hands and stepped around her to where the cutting board and half chopped onion rested. Piper blinked back her tears and tried to watch Alex as she took the cutting board, and moved it towards the oven.
"This is a trick my mom used to do when cutting onions," she explained as she located the vent on the oven and turned it on. "There's something about how the vent takes the sulfur-laced air from the onion and just sucks it up into the beyond." She then began to chop the rest of the onion up.
"See! No tears!" boasted the brunette proudly as she turned back to look at Piper. There was a smile of triumph on her face.
"I thought you said you weren't any good at cooking," mumbled Piper grumpily as she wiped a stray tear from her eye.
The slow jams had stopped playing from the Bluetooth speaker. Someone had changed the music long ago to bluesy rock music. The Animals' Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood was currently playing. The couple had just finished eating their dinner. There was a comfortable silence over them as they just sat there at the small dining table digesting their food.
"What do you want for dessert?" asked Piper as she pushed back her chair and began to clear the plates from the table. "I think there's ice-cream in the freezer."
"You," Alex reached out and grasped Piper by the wrist.
Piper nearly dropped the plate she was holding as Alex, caught her off guard.
"I want to eat you for dessert," stated Alex in a low sultry voice. Her eyes were shining with desire for her.
Piper didn't need to be told twice as she left the plates abandoned on the table and pulled Alex to her feet.
Will Piper take Alex up on her offer on those three wishes? Will be continued in the next chapter!
