Lena is ready to be intimate again.

Explicit content: Love scene.

Alex walked into the Saloon that evening with Maggie on his mind. She was the only person in Midvale that knew Alex's secret, other than Lena and Kara. He was thinking hard about what he was going to do about it but first he needed to talk to Lena about their other problem. Or more to the point Lena's concerns.

Lena was behind the bar when Alex entered, she saw him right away and went to get their evening meals like she usually did when her husband came home. It was their thing, they would always try to make time in their day to at least sit and eat together. Only the past week Lena had been skipping her meals, which had really concerned Alex.

Alex took a seat and waited to be served and was fully expecting Sam to be the one coming out with it. So when he saw Lena his heart skipped a few beats, he was very happy to see her.

"Lena, are you joining me this evening?" Alex asked hopeful.

Lena smiled and placed two plates of food down on Alex's table, then she walked over to the bar and poured a glass of beer for Alex and a glass of wine for herself. She walked back over to the table and sat down opposite Alex.

"Yes love, I am," she replied.

Alex tucked into his food, he was so hungry having had nothing all day, he looked to his wife who seemed a bit happier at least, he was glad of that, "How was your day?" He asked.

"Okay," Lena replied and took a drink of wine, "Alex I need to talk to you."

"I know," Alex said as he continued to eat, "I'm glad you feel you can talk to me now."

"I do," Lena sighed, "I'm sorry for, well you know. Being so distant."

"Hey," Alex reached his hand across the table and placed it on Lena's, "you have nothing to be sorry for baby. I get it."

Lena took another drink and then ate some of her food, "It's been a difficult week for me, I keep thinking about what happened," she admitted, "I should have talked to you about it sooner."

"Well you are now," Alex looked at her with gentle eyes, "I know I can be a bit clueless sometimes, but I am trying to understand."

"I feel much better having talked to Kara, and now you, it does help to get it out," Lena said a little more at ease.

"You can always talk to me hun', whatever it is, I admit I have never been very good at expressing my feelings, but that doesn't mean I don't understand them, you only gotta talk to me and I will always listen to you, I'm always here for you baby," Alex told her and sipped his beer.

"Yes, I really should have put more trust in you, I guess we are still learning about each other," Lena sighed, "but anyway, here we are."

"Yeah well, sometimes I can be a bit slow off the mark," Alex told her, "but you still went ahead and married me." He gave her a wry smile.

Lena laughed, "So... I was thinking, after dinner, do you want to go upstairs?"

Alex looked up from his food in surprise, "You mean?"

"Yes," Lena smiled, "I think I'm ready to get back to normal, I need you. I've missed you."

"I've missed you too," Alex told her eagerly, "God so much, it was hurting, and you know I rarely admit to that."

Lena chuckled, "I must admit it was painful," she pointed to her heart, "deep in here, not being able to be close with you."

Alex smiled and finished off his food and drank his beer quickly then he took Lena's hand and led her upstairs to their room.

They both undressed, washed and then Lena got into bed first naked and waited for her husband. She still felt a little uneasy. She hoped she was doing the right thing and not rushing back in too fast.

Alex had his back to her and when he turned around Lena could see the raised bump beneath his underpants, he was ready for action, she hoped she was too. Alex got under the covers and lay on his side. Lena turned to face him and ran her hand gently down his handsome face. She ran her fingers over his stubbly chin and then placed a kiss to his lips and pulled back hesitantly.

Alex looked to Lena's shining green eyes, "Are you sure you're ready?" he asked, one hand around his wife's waist.

"I'm sure," she moved closer and whispered to his lips, "yes love."

Alex pulled Lena in closer and kissed her slowly, he could smell her gentle perfume and feel her warm breasts against his chest. He licked across her lips and left a soft kiss there, she could smell his musky cologne, she sighed, she had missed him, the closeness they shared. The smell of his manliness.

Then he pulled away slightly. Lena looked worried this time as Alex seemed to hesitate, "What's wrong?"

"Wait a minute," Alex said, he sat up and pulled off his vest, then he lay back down and pulled her close again, "I need to feel you, all of you, against me."

Lena softly sighed as Alex pushed into her, she lay back and he began to kiss her neck, running his tongue upwards until he met her lips again.

"I love you," Lena quietly said as she ran her hands through his hair.

"Love you too baby," Alex breathed before slipping his warm tongue into her mouth.

Whilst kissing deeply Alex found Lena's right breast with his hand, he gently touched her and then more harshly tweaked her nipple.

Lena gasped at the feeling of Alex's fingers pulling on her nipple, "Alex mmm..."

Alex slowly moved down Lena's soft creamy skin, down her neck, kissing her shoulder blades before dipping down to her breasts.

"Is this good baby?" Alex asked, breathing on her gorgeous breasts, kissing them and then sucking each nipple into his mouth, one after the other.

"God yes," Lena said, tugging on his short hair. It had only been a week but it felt like years since they had been this close. And it felt just as good if not better than ever. Maybe taking breaks was a good thing after all.

Alex slowly moved down, pushing the blanket off them as he did so, then he moved down the bed until he was positioned between her legs and he parted them with his strong rugged hands.

Lena moaned as she felt Alex kiss down to the apex between her thighs, she wrapped her legs around his strong shoulders and urged him closer, "Please Alex." She could feel the familiar throb down there as he positioned himself better and breathed on her pussy lips. Then he dipped his tongue between her slit, entering deep and tasting her like it had been a lifetime. He tasted her sweet womanly juices on his tongue and sucked her folds between his lips. He pushed his tongue inside her making Lena buck into him.

"Alex yes..." she cried out, her hands tugging even harder at his head. Her clit was throbbing in anticipation of his lips.

After a few deep thrusts with his tongue he took a breath and looked up at Lena to make sure she was still alright, her head was back but because he stopped she looked down at her husband, when Alex saw the ecstatic look on her beautiful face he continued, taking two fingers to her warm wet pussy while their eyes met.

Lena moaned at being filled, and moaned even more as he thrust into her, slowly in and then pulling out, just to thrust back in faster.

"You feel so good baby," he told her, "You are so beautiful."

Alex dipped his head again, he knew Lena was close because her thighs came tight around his head so he sucked on her clit whilst thrusting into her core.

"Alex, love, I'm coming," she cried out as his tongue swirled insistently over her hard clit and his fingers pounded into her.

Then he abruptly stopped and moved on top of Lena, pulled down his pants, he looked at her panting heavily beneath him and as was about to thrust into her...

"Alex, can I go on top?" Lena asked quickly. She wasn't sure if right now she could mentally cope with Alex on top of her.

This was new, Alex thought to himself, he was so used to being in control when they had sex, he looked unsure at first, but when he saw Lena's face pleading with him so he lay down on his back, "Okay baby, whatever makes you feel comfortable right now."

Lena gently straddled him and Alex had to admit it wasn't as bad as he imagined it would be, he had a great view of her full breasts on show above him, he grabbed her hips and slowly helped her. She slowly lowered herself and closed her eyes at the intense feeling of him so thick and hard, filling her completely, "Alex," she moaned, "so good." Then she started to ride him. She had heard the term save a horse, ride a cowboy many times over the years muttered by women she knew but until now she hadn't had the opportunity. She couldn't believe how amazing it felt. But even now Alex was still fully in control, thrusting up into her with wild abandon. Alex reached his hands up to Lena's firm breasts and played with them while she rode him, he could feel the strap rubbing against him with every thrust down of his wife's hips and he was so close to reaching climax himself, "God Lena, baby, that feels amazing, keep doing that."

Lena upped the pace, thrusting up and down on him, losing herself in her feelings, the pleasure was intense, she lent forward, her eyes closed, moaning and cursing more loudly in time as Alex thrust upwards meeting her. Alex was so turned on by the position, thrusting upwards while Lena's breasts were bouncing up and down in front of his face that he was certainly up for doing this again, he felt his whole body go warm and the rush of his own orgasm building within.

Alex closed his eyes as he climaxed hard beneath his wife. He bit his lip, trying hard to control it, to wait but he couldn't hold back, it was probably the most intense it had ever been for Alex, it washed over him in waves while Lena bounced up and down on him enjoying her own heavenly ride.

Once he came down from his high he reached one hand to Lena's clit and gently rubbed over it while she was completely lost in the feeling of fucking him hard and fast. Then the familiar feeling of warmth enveloped her at Alex's touch, her walls began to pull tighter on his cock, her climax rushed through, warm heat flooded her and her body shuddered above him.

After Lena lay down on top of Alex exhausted and breathless. Alex wrapped his strong arms around his wife and kissed her head that was resting on his chest.

"Wow," Alex said as they lay there trying to get their breathing rate back to normal.

Lena went to move off him but Alex rolled them over onto their sides while he was still inside her. Alex loved the feeling of being joined, and Lena did too. So they lay there for a while just holding each other. Alex's leg wrapped over Lena's, his cock still deep inside her.

Alex stroked Lena's face, and her hair, "You okay?"

Alex wanted to check in.

"I'm good," Lena smiled a little and ran her hand across his muscled abs and chest, Alex was okay with her touching him there now, "are you okay?"

"Me?" Alex chuckled as he stroked her hair, "I'm fantastic. Who knew that would be so good?"

"You're glad I suggested it then?" Lena was unsure because it was their first time in that position, where Alex gave up control a little.

"I promise you, I'm very glad," Alex replied then gave her a kiss on the lips.

Then Alex gently pulled out of his wife and asked her to turn around, she did, then he moved up closer and raised Lena's leg, he gently entered her again from behind.

"Mmm, Alex," Lena softly sighed at the feeling of him inside her again.

Alex kissed his wife's neck as he wrapped his arm around her and grabbed her breasts as he slowly began to push in and pull out. Lena was coming again in no time with Alex crashing into her G Spot from behind. All thoughts of Maxwell Lord had been long forgotten and all she could see and feel was Alex Danvers.

The next morning came with them both still holding onto each other. Alex spooning Lena from behind.

He snuggled tightly into her warmth as the sun came up, "Damn, I wish I could stay here all day," he muttered.

"Me too," Lena replied with a smile. Last night had been beautiful. The way Alex loved her, the way he let love him.

"You're awake," Alex said surprised, "I could say I'm sick and leave Kara to it," he smiled into Lena's neck.

Lena turned around in her husband's arms, "Alex, you can't leave Kara on her own all day, she's still learning."

"She's very competent."

"I'm sure she is, but you wouldn't forgive yourself if anything happened to her," Lena told him and stroked his arm.

"True, okay another five minutes, can I have some kisses to send me on my way?" Alex gave her a cute grin that she couldn't resist.

They eventually both got up and got ready for the day ahead. Alex was on the hunt for a little thief and Lena had decided to brave going down to the stables to see the horses, because she missed them so much. And it wasn't fair to expect her husband to do it when he was working. When she got there she was surprised to see her friend Andrea waiting for her there.

"Andrea, hi," She smiled but looked at her curiously.

"I know you are going to ask why I am here," Andrea smiled.

"So why are you here?" Lena replied and stepped into the stable.

Andrea followed her inside, "You're husband asked me to join you today."

"But how did you know to be here?" Lena was puzzled.

"Alex sent Kara down here first thing, apparently while you were getting your breakfast and coffee," Andrea explained and looked at the horses, "So these are your horses, they are beautiful."

"Yes," Lena smiled, "this is Lucky, Alex's horse and that over there, is El."

"Sweet names," Andrea said running her hand gently over Lucky's nose.

"I still don't understand why Alex sent you," Lena said as she got some feed for the horses.

"Alex wanted someone here, he didn't want you to be alone after what happened to you, and I can totally understand that," Andrea replied, "I was horrified when I heard what happened here by the way, are you alright?"

Lena sighed, "I'm doing better after talking it out, at first I was not coping at all."

Andrea placed her hand on Lena's, "Hey, I know we had a bad start but I really do care about you, if you ever need me for anything, you know where I am."

"Thank you," Lena smiled, "Maybe you could come and help down here for a while, I have to admit it's nice not to be here alone right now."

"You got it," Andrea smiled.

"And to pay you back, you can take Lucky out this morning," Lena said as she placed the bucket down in front of the horse. The two women spent the rest of the morning together, riding the horses and stacking bales of hay.

Alex and Kara spent the afternoon in search of the resident thief. There had been another report of a possible robbery, but this time it was at Maxwell's Store. The glass door was smashed. It had been called in by a passer by and they both had rushed over there.

"Stay there Kara, I mean it," Alex drew his gun and entered the store carefully.

Kara stood outside tapping her foot. Then she saw a young lad shoot out of the door, he smashed past Alex, with his hands full. Kara gave chase whilst Alex stood at the door and sighed, "That damn kid!"
