Summary:

More lies from Sam. And there is a new sexy stranger in town.

Andrea woke up to a loud banging at her front door, she pulled on some clothes, she grabbed her rifle from under her bed and made her way downstairs and to the front door. She carefully stood to one side.

"Who's there?" She called out.

"It's me Sam, and Ruby."

Andrea quickly unlocked the door, "What the hell?" Andrea looked at them both, Ruby was standing there with a teddy bear clutched to herself looking sad. And Sam looked like she had been crying, "What's going on? It's midnight, shouldn't you both be in bed?"

"It's a long story," Sam told her, "I can tell you more once I put Ruby to bed, I was going to ask if we could stay the night."

Andrea opened the door and let them both in, "Come in, and of course you can."

Once they had got Ruby into a spare room and into bed Andrea opened a bottle of scotch downstairs and poured them both one.

They both sat down and Andrea passed Sam a glass of the amber liquid, then she looked to Sam, "So what is going on?"

Meanwhile over at the Danvers house Cat and Kara had woken up to Sam leaving the house with Ruby. So when Alex and Lena walked in looking a little flushed they looked at each other and then looked at them.

"Where have you both been?" Kara asked, "Sam just stormed out of here with Ruby."

"Wait," Kara then paused as she looked at their flushed faces, "Don't answer that first question, I don't want details."

Lena tried not to laugh at Kara's awkwardness. Alex then looked sheepish and shoved his hands into the pockets of his trousers.

"So," Cat raised an eyebrow, "any idea why Sam left in a hurry? She wouldn't tell us."

"It's quite a story you should sit down and have some tea, and I'll have a large shot of whiskey," Alex told them walking towards the kitchen cupboards where the whiskey was stored.

"I'll join you," Lena said looking at her husband as he reached for the bottle and a glass. Alex got an extra glass and placed them down on the table, then he poured them both a double.

"Tea Kara?" Cat asked, walking over to the stove to start up a pot.

"Please," Kara said, taking a seat opposite Alex and Lena.

"So what's the deal with Sam?" Kara asked.

Alex looked to Lena and they both sighed, then Alex looked at Kara, "Sam tried to split us up."

"Who?" Kara shifted the glasses on her nose, "You and Lena?"

"Yes," Lena told her, "She made up a lie about Alex taking advantage of her and getting her pregnant."

Kara's eyes went wide in shock, "What the…"

"Yeah," Alex added, "Obviously I didn't do any of that, she's got some weird obsession with me."

"Well how absurd!" Cat chuckled to herself as she finished the tea and placed the pot down and two cups.

"Thanks," Alex frowned. He wasn't sure if that was a compliment or not.

Cat poured herself and Kara some tea and then sat down, "I'm presuming Sam had no idea."

"No she didn't and she still doesn't," Alex huffed.

"Good," Cat said sipping her tea, "that is the one saving grace, because if she did, you could have been in a whole mess of trouble."

"Anyway, can I go to bed now?" Alex was tired and weary, the day had finally caught up on him.

Andrea listened to Sam's version of events, how Alex had taken advantage of her and that she could be pregnant. She sat back in her chair and had a large glass of wine after Sam went to bed. Andrea kept thinking about Lena, how she must be feeling right now. After all, the accusation was serious. She did try to warn Lena about men all being the same. Andrea decided to go over there and talk to her in the morning, hopefully at the stables where they could talk in private.

The next morning came and they were all up bright and early. Alex and Kara went to work together, Cat made her way to the newspaper office because she had a new issue due tomorrow. George went with Cat to the office as it was an off school day.

Lena was home trying to deal with the cleaning now she didn't have Sam around to help anymore. But first she had to feed the horses and give them some exercise. She made her way over to the stables to see her friend Andrea standing there smiling her way.

"Andrea, hi, have you come to help?" Lena smiled.

"Yes, and I need to talk to you about something," Andrea told her.

"Oh?" Lena walked into the stable, followed by Andrea.

"Yeah, Samantha Arias came to my house last night."

"Oh..." Lena replied.

"She said Alex threw her out of your home, because you didn't believe her when she told you he had sex with her," Andrea was blunt and to the point. She stood there with her hands on her hips, looking unimpressed.

Lena laughed a little, "Yeah, that isn't the whole story and she knows it."

"So tell me what is the whole story? Because she is currently living in my house," Andrea replied and waited for an explanation.

Lena picked up a bucket of feed and placed it in front of El, then she got another one and placed it in front of Lucky, "There you go...we'll take you out in a little while," Lena told her horses. Then she turned to Andrea.

"She's a liar, did she tell you she's pregnant too?" Lena asked.

"She might have mentioned it, aren't you concerned Lena?" Andrea asked, "this is quite an accusation to make about your husband, and if she is pregnant, then what?"

"Alex told me she came on to him and I believed him, and besides anything he can't father children," Lena told her.

"Oh really, this is new," Andrea's ears pricked up and she smirked.

"I hate that our private lives are all out in the open like this," Lena told her, "It's not fair on Alex, he doesn't deserve this kind of judgement, first people accusing him of sexual assault and now laughing because he cant make children."

Andrea walked up to Lena, "Hey I'm sorry I didn't mean to judge him, but you know what it's like in these parts, men can't be trusted."

Lena looked at Andrea, part of her wanted to tell her the truth about Alex but something was holding her back, "Alex can be, believe me, he's nothing like other men."

"Okay," Andrea softened her stance, "So what are we going to do about Sam?"

"I've no idea," Lena sighed, "I was hoping she would let it drop."

"Does she have any family?" Andrea asked. She had an idea.

"Her mother lives up north," Lena replied, "Why?"

"Maybe we should get her to go back up north to see her mother," Andrea said thinking about it, " I can try to convince Sam to take a break, go on a trip.

"Good luck with that," Lena said, "she's obsessed with Alex, it won't be easy to get her to leave town."

"I can try," Andrea smiled, "for you."

Alex and Kara were at the Saloon, it had recently been opened to men and women and became busier than ever. They were standing at the bar watching over everyone when Alex saw a young blonde woman walk in. The woman had long blonde hair cascading over her shoulders. She wore cowboy clothes, trousers, shirt, a long coat and chaps. She took off her hat as she entered and walked over to the bar.

"Hey, bartend," she said looking at Winn who was behind the bar.

"Be right with you," he said as he rushed about making drinks for thirsty customers.

Alex watched the woman with interest, he was sure he knew her face but then he met a lot of women over the years.

He walked up to her at the bar, "You are new here?"

She looked at him and immediately noticed the US Marshal badge on his coat, "Just passing through these parts Marshal."

Winn asked her what she wanted to drink and she asked for a beer.

"You look familiar," Alex told her, "You from National City?"

"Me? No," she laughed nervously, "I'm from Alaska."

"Wow," Alex raised his eyebrows at her, "That is quite a distance."

"Yeah, well," she told him, "I like travelling, cant stay in one place for long."

"Unusual for a lady," Alex said looking her over curiously.

"I'm one of a kind," she smiled and sipped her beer.

"So what's your name, I'm Marshal Danvers, and this here is Sheriff Danvers," he looked to Kara who smiled back at the stranger, then he held out his hand.

She took his hand and shook it, "Gayle Marsh, but my friends call me psi."

"Good to meet you Miss Marsh," Alex said, taking his hand back and putting it in his pocket.

"So what do you do for fun around here?" She asked, looking at Kara.

Kara stepped up to the bar and grabbed a drink of water, she took a drink and then looked at Gayle, "Tonight here in the Saloon there is gambling, if that's your thing, and we also have a group of musicians coming in from out of town, so there will lots of dancing."

"Sounds great," she smiled, "I'll see you tonight then."

Alex and Kara watched the woman as she walked away.

"I'm sure I know her from somewhere," Alex muttered.

"Maybe she's from National City?" Kara said.

"Nah, she said she came all the way down from Alaska, keep an eye on her, there is something not right," Alex was suspicious, but he couldn't put his finger on why.

Much later after Alex made his rounds around town he headed back home. He and Lena had decided they needed a night out, so along with Cat and Kara they were going to spend the evening at the Saloon enjoying the musicians, doing some dancing and Alex fancied a bit of gambling. It had been a while since he last did.

"Hi love," Lena greeted him as he came through the door.

"Hi babe," Alex smiled and walked straight up to her, wrapped her up in his arms and kissed her, "God, I missed you today."

Lena placed her hands on his shoulders, she could smell his sweet cologne and feel his warm breath against her neck as he hugged her.

Then he loosened his grip and looked at her, "You look gorgeous by the way, I approve of your choice."

He stepped back, took her hands in his own and gazed at her dress. It was wine red and showed off her perfect cleavage. Alex felt a little hot just looking at her and he just wanted to take her right now over the kitchen table, "So sexy," his eyes darkened and he pushed her back against the table and kissed her.

"Mmm, Alex," Lena softly moaned between heated kisses.

Alex lifted up Lena's dress with one hand and ran his calloused hand up her thigh, "Mmm I love you baby," he told her before kissing her again more deeply.

"Alex," she breathed as he started to kiss her neck and squeeze her breast with his other hand, "we shouldn't, not here."

"But I want you," Alex told her, his hands roaming over her, touching her everywhere.

Lena placed her hands to his chest to stop him, "Anyone could walk in."

Alex lent back into her and kissed her neck, her head went back as he held her, "Kara's at Cat's office with George," he told her, his lips moved upwards and sucked on Lena's earlobe.

"Alex…" she moaned out in pleasure and wrapped her arms around his strong shoulders.

"They're going straight to the Saloon," he said between kisses to Lena's face, "won't be coming back here."

"What about George," Lena asked breathlessly.

"They got a babysitter, they're looking after him until the morning," Alex told her. Then he picked her up and put her on the table.

Lena watched him with desire in her eyes as he ran his hands up her thighs, under her dress pulling down her lace panties, she let out a soft moan at being freed of her underwear, her whole body seemed to heat up at the thought of what Alex was going to do to her.

Alex then undid his trousers, pulled out his cock, pumped himself up then he pulled his wife towards him. He dipped his fingers into her and felt her arousal. That was enough for him to know she was ready for more. He pulled them out and tasted her on his fingers, "Hmm…" he groaned.

Lena's legs wrapped around him as he stood up straight. Then he pushed her dress up over her hips quickly.

"I've been thinking about fucking you all day," he said as he pulled her closer to him.

Lena wrapped her arms around his shoulders and kissed him deeply. She moaned out his name when he pulled her to the edge of the table and quickly thrust into her, "Alex...love, you feel so good."

Lena felt the heat of her arousal pool down below, the very thought of what they were doing and where they were doing it was making her excited.

Alex's tongue slipped between her red lips as he kissed his wife deeply, thrusting in and out of her. He could smell her perfume, taste her lipstick on his lips and feel her trembling slightly as he fucked her harder and faster, "You're so beautiful baby," he told her.

Lena's head went back as she got closer to her climax, he sucked her neck while he continued to passionately make love to her. And Lena came hard and fast with her eyes clamped shut as he left a hickey on her neck.

Afterwards Alex went to clean up and change into a suit and tie for the evening at the Saloon. Lena tidied herself up too and rearranged her hair, it had gotten quite messy as Alex rode her on the table. She looked into her bedroom mirror and noticed the mark on her neck, Alex hadn't given her one of them before, she felt like she had been branded by her man, she smiled to herself and then took out her make up and covered it up quickly.

"Are you ready to go?"

Lena turned around to see Alex standing there in a gorgeous dark blue suit, with a white shirt and a matching dark blue tie, "You look very handsome my love."

Alex held out his hand and Lena took it, stood and let herself be pulled into his warm arms.

"I adore you," she told him before reaching up and placing a soft kiss to his lips.

"Ditto," he smiled.
