It had been approximately one month since the small dinner Norma had with Alex at her house. Things were going great, surprisingly. With Alex being Sheriff now, he was extremely busy, but he found time to spend with Norma. He had even been bonding with her sons as well.

Dylan wasn't all that welcoming to Alex being around, and Norma tried hard to explain why she was close to him and what he was becoming to her. It was a difficult thing to talk to a child about, but Dylan was a smart boy. Norman on the other hand was friendly with just about anybody, so he easily accepted the blossoming "friendship" between Alex and Norma.

She was happy. Life was much easier without Sam being there. He had served almost two months in jail, and would be released in a few more weeks. Norma had already gone through the process of custody, the housing, and financial arrangements. Sam was forced to give up his parental rights to Norman and was not allowed to have any contact with Dylan.

It was the best thing that could happen to Norma and her boys. This is what she had been hoping for for years, and it finally seemed like the universe was giving her a break.

It was currently 3 in the afternoon, and Norma had plans to go out somewhere with Alex. After much contemplation about what the residents of White Pine Bay would say about the two of them being out together, Norma put her fear of judgement aside, as she always should have. Alex was a good man, and if he liked her and she liked him, they had no reason to hold back any longer. She had to remember what she told him that one time about not caring what society says.

She waited around in her kitchen for him to come by. The glass of red wine became empty quicker than she would like. She didn't want to end up too tipsy before she got to enjoy her time out with Alex. The boys were spending the weekend over at the Changs and Norma loved how sweet and caring the family was. She had never trusted people so easily with her kids like she had with them.

Her phone started ringing from the other room and she hurried to grab it, smiling once she saw the contact name.

"Hey," she greeted.

"Hey, I'm almost there. Sorry it's taking me so long. I was on a phone conference with my deputies," he sighed.

"It's no problem. But maybe you should hurry before I get too drunk here."

"I'm on your street. I'll be there in less than three minutes."

Norma told him okay and they hung up. She went to go put on her favorite trench coat and a thick scarf and her knee high heeled boots. The December weather here was no joke, but she was grateful it wasn't snowing.

She could hear Alex pulling up on her driveway and opened the door to see his headlights blinding her. Alex hopped out and jogged towards her.

"You look gorgeous," he complimented.

"Thank you. So do you," she replied.

Alex led her to his SUV and helped her step in, closing the door for her after she was settled. Norma waited for him to get in on the driver's side before she leaned to him, grabbed his chin, and kissed him. She swore Alex always blushed when she did that. He could be so adorable, which is a surprising thing for the tough Sheriff everyone thought he was.

Alex chuckled and reversed out of her driveway to head down the black paved road.

"So where you taking me?" Norma wondered as she gazed out the window.

"We'll be there in less than 10 minutes."

She glanced over at him. "It's not that many places to go around here, just tell me."

"Nope."

Norma mockingly smacked her lips. "Wow. Okay."

"How was work?" He asked.

Norma blew out a huff of air. "It was fine. I just hate having to be there when Maggie is out and her brother is at the motel."

"He hasn't been messing with you has he? Does he ever say anything to you? Does anything to make you uncomfortable?"

She shook her head. "Not really. In the beginning, he did, but it stopped some time ago. Besides the looks he gives me, he doesn't really say much unless it's work related. I just don't really like being in his presence."

"Looks?"

"Like you know... how a man looks at a woman he... wants."

Alex gripped the steering wheel. Kieth Summers was on Alex's "take down" list. He knew the man was involved with dirty business, but he needed to gather necessary evidence in order to arrest him. However, he made sure to visit the man to tell him he better not be giving Norma any trouble or he would personally cut his balls off. Kieth knew Alex didn't mess around, so the message was received clear.

"I'm sure I can find something for you to do down at the station."

"I'm good with the motel. The pay is really good," Norma assured.

He didn't want to accept that, but he wouldn't try to force her to do something. Besides, they weren't at the point in their relationship yet for Alex to be telling her to change her decisions. With a woman like Norma, he knew better than to ever do that anyway. She was smart and perfectly capable of taking care of herself. That wouldn't stop him from threatening Kieth every now and then as long as Norma was employed under him and Maggie.

Alex pulled into the docks where a row of boats were stationed. He parked in the empty parking lot and looked over at Norma.

"We're getting on one of those?" She questioned as they caught one another's eye.

"Yeah. It's not too cold out tonight, so the sea isn't frozen over. Just don't fall off though. I would hate to jump into cold water to save you."

She giggled and reached for the door handle to exit the vehicle. Alex came over to her side of the car and linked his arms around hers. She held him close to her for warmth, but mostly because she couldn't get enough of being near him.

He led her down to the end of the dock where the biggest boat floated on the water.

"Yours?" Norma questioned.

"No, I wish. It's a buddy of mine."

"It's big," Norma said as she looked up at ginormous boat. "Is this a yacht?"

"It is actually," he smiled and unlocked a chain so that they could walk to the entrance of the boat. He held out his hand for her to grab and smiled once he felt her small one clasp his.

"Watch your step," he warned as they entered.

"I'm surprised no one else is out here. People seem to really love boating in this town," Norma shared.

"Well, as much as we love our boats, not too many people want to do it in the winter. Only a handful."

They climbed the small steps to where the boat's helm was at. The steering wheel was large and made of what seemed to be stainless steel. Norma ran her hand on it, the cold metal giving her goosebumps. She looked around and admired the plush white seats and large cockpit the yacht obtained.

"This is beautiful. I've never been on one, but wow, I'm really impressed."

Alex went to a storage box on the boat and grabbed a life jacket, handing it to her.

"You're not too cold are you?" He asked her.

"No, I'm fine. Thank you." Norma put her life jacket on and watched as Alex opened a cooler that was sitting in the corner of the cockpit.

"So I got some water, beer, chicken salad, crackers, and a lot of fruit."

Norma giggled lightly and asked for the glass bottle of beer, which Alex happily provided to her. The two of them went to the helm where Alex put the keys in the engine and started the large boat.

"Brace yourself."

Norma did, and Alex slowly moved the boat forward. Norma looked at all the buttons and equipment the boat possessed, amazed at how Alex knew how to operate such a thing. He looked even more handsome doing so.

He drove slowly most of the ride and Norma quite enjoyed the cold air kissing her skin. It was a beautiful view, as the water was a clear blue and they could hear the waves hitting the side of the yacht.

She stood next to him as the rode further away from the pier and into the open sea. Norma helped herself to some fruit that was stored in the cooler as Alex sped the boat up. Soon enough, the only thing that they could see was the open sea. She occasionally fed Alex a couple grapes and strawberries while he steered the boat.

The sky was getting darker as the day was soon concluding. It was pitch black, but the large yacht provided all the light they would need. Alex slowed the boat down and pressed the button to drop the anchor so that the boat wouldn't wander off by itself.

"So, let me finally show you around." Alex went around the side of the boat where the cabin was. He reached out for Norma's hand and led her down there.

The room was huge. There was a long hallway that led to three openings, one that led to a bed, the other led to a area where a small table was, and the last one was a sitting area with white cushion benches sat along the wall.

"Jesus, this thing must cost hundreds of thousands of dollars," Norma commented.

"Yeah, something like that."

While Norma took a seat on the bench, Alex went to the fridge where more food was at. He hoped she wasn't too hungry right now because all they had were just some club sandwiches left.

"You want a sandwich? It's turkey and American cheese."

"No, I'm okay," she told him. "Come sit with me."

Alex closed the fridge and turned to her, a grin on his face. She had taken off her life jacket and trench coat along with the scarf. It was much warmer down in the cabin, so he was glad she was able to make herself comfortable. He took a seat beside her and leaned his back against the soft cushion.

"So who taught you to drive a yacht?"

"Well, when I was a kid, my dad's friend used to take me fishing all the time. He eventually taught me how to drive the boat. I never driven one this big since a few years back when a buddy of mine had a party."

"That's nice of him. So... this is what being in the drug business can buy?" Norma pried.

"Jeff's not a part of that. I wouldn't dare bring you on this yacht if he paid for it by doing something illegal. He's one of the few people that actually worked hard for his earnings. He owns a successful lumber business."

"Oh really?"

"Yeah. He only lives here during the summer, so any other season, I have access to his boats, house, cars..."

"Did you two grow up together?"

Alex nodded and leaned up so that he was sitting closer to her. Norma smiled and stared deeply into his brown eyes.

"Yeah, we did actually. We went to elementary school together all the way up until high school. Then I left for the military. When I came back, he was running the lumber business, and it only grew as the years with by. He's a great guy."

Norma nodded as she listened more to him talking about his life and childhood. Although she had been knowing him for a good few months, she still learned so much about him every time they were together.

The night passed quickly and so did the time. Norma somehow ended up pressed against Alex, her back resting on his chest with his arms wrapped around her.

"Alex?"

"Yeah?" He said lowly.

She sat up, releasing his hold on her and looked at him. "I know I've already told you, but I just want to say again how incredibly grateful and thankful for everything you've done for me. And for what you've been to me."

Alex's heart swelled. He already knew how thankful she was, but it never failed to make him feel a way whenever she told him. He'd really do anything for her now. The connection he felt was strong, stronger than any other woman he ever dated. Even his ex-wife.

"You're welcome Norma."

She admired him for a moment before wrapping her hands around the back of his neck. He touched her arm and rubbed her skin gently. Closing her eyes, she slowly met his lips with her own. Alex was quickly eager this time, reciprocating the kiss with a fervor Norma had fell into easily.

Alex ran his fingers through her blonde hair while his other hand sat on her knee. He was always so cautious with her, knowing things could lead to something else in a heartbeat, as Norma had been trying to jump on him for a while. He just didn't know if it was a smart thing to do. They've known each other for what... four months? She was a newly divorcee and had gone through so much in the short amount of time he's known her.

But, she always assured him she was okay with how things were moving. It was a bit fast paced with them, which Alex had trying to be careful about. He didn't want to ruin something that had just begun. But right now, she smelled too good and her lips were too soft and the faint moans escaping her mouth from him kissing her was just too addicting.

Alex broke away from her and stood up. Just as Norma was about to make a disappointed sigh, Alex took her by the hand, making her stand on her feet as well. He held her hand and walked backwards through the cabin until the reached the opening where the bed was at.

She felt excitement immediately as she walked to the bed with him. No words were spoken as Alex sat her down on the soft sheets and took a seat beside her. They observed each other intently while removing their shoes. Norma was so anxious and willing while she noticed Alex was still hesitant and unsure.

"You okay?" She spoke, breaking the silence.

He nodded as his gaze flickered back and forth between her two eyes. "I guess I'm just admiring your face."

That made her smile. Her small fingers crept over his hand that was resting on the soft mattress. She kissed him again and the fireworks exploded in her belly. Her hands played in his hair and she gradually laid down on the bed, pulling Alex down with her.

She could kiss him forever if he allowed her to. He made her feel as if she was in a dream where there were blue skies and happiness forever. The energy was taking over and she could no longer control her restraint.

Norma pulled at the buttons on his shirt, trying desperately to undo each one. Alex was absentmindedly inching his hand underneath the green and black dress she was wearing. Her head was already becoming cloudy from arousal and he hadn't even touched her yet.

Alex could feel the heat creeping up his neck so he pulled away from Norma to remove his shirt. He hated that he decided to wear a stupid button down top today. Norma laid beneath him, her eyelids halfway open. The sight of her was blissful.

He peeled off his shirt and then the black one he wore beneath it until he was leaning over her with his bare torso. Her eyes marveled over his body while her hand rubbed his chest down to his lean stomach. Alex wasted no time covering her body with his. His lips attached to her neck this time, ecstatic to hear the surprised gasp that left her mouth.

He wanted to take his time and be careful and mindful. He didn't know much about Norma's sexual history, as she never wanted to discuss it. He knew that piece of shit Sam would occasionally rape her, as she slipped up one day and practically admitted it. She never had a gentleman, and he wanted to be one for her.

"Norma, open your eyes."

She did immediately and gave him a questioning look.

"You can tell me if you want me to stop. Or if I'm doing something you don't like or something that is making you uncomfortable. This is going to be our first time, so I really want you to enjoy it."

She imagined nothing less than enjoyment with him. She could already feel herself in a state of ecstasy for when they finally connected physically with one another.

"Yes. Okay," she told him.

He proceeded. The waves continued to crash the side of the boat as they continued to undress. Alex had pulled down Norma's dress until she was left in her undergarments, very sexy ones at that. He would drool like a dog if he continued to stare at her the way that he was.

She was literal perfection. Alex wondered how could a man ever treat a woman like her anything less than a queen. She was beautiful and she was an amazing mother and person in general as well. He made a promise to himself that he would revere her as long as she would have him.

*deviatedrift*

His hands gripped her hips as his head bowed down between her open legs. He could tell she was getting a little impatient since she removed her bra herself. He would have to come back for a taste of her pink nipples, but first, he would cheat and taste dessert first.

Her body smelled of vanilla and just a whiff of her scent was slowly putting him in a trance. Her yellow panties were visibly damp and he couldn't help but kiss her over them.

Norma's eyes clamped shut as she clenched the sheets on the bed. Her whole body felt afloat. She suddenly felt Alex's whole mouth cover her area and gasped at the warm feeling of his lips over her. Her hands reached down to the waistband of her panties so she could pull them down, but he grabbed her hands and intertwined their fingers. When she opened her eyes to look down at him, he was already gazing at her with a devilish grin. He ogled her as his teeth grabbed hold of the rim of her panties to tease her.

Alex let go of her hands and placed them on the band of her panties where he pulled them down swiftly.

Perfection

He could see how wet she was and he was dying to thirst his quench. His hands ran up her milky legs as he began kissing the inside of her thighs. Occasionally, he looked up at her face to read her, and all seemed to be going well so far. He hooked her legs over his shoulders and gave her one long lick against her center.

Norma bit her own lip hard as she started to whimper while Alex slid his tongue around her slick folds. The feeling was insane. He squeezed her thighs and had to keep them open since Norma kept clamping her legs shut around his head. He flicked his tongue on her faster and then focused more at her opening which felt damn good to Norma.

"God Alex," she whispered so softly that he could hardly hear it.

She tasted incredible, just like he always imagined she would. Everything about her was intoxicating and it was no wonder he became so addicted to this woman this quick.

Norma pulled on his hair and then reached further down to grab him by his biceps to pull him on top of her. He looked into her eyes, blue just like the water the boat they occupied floated on. Her normally baby blue eyes were darker as her arousal became increasingly potent.

"I want the real thing now."

He nodded with an open mouth at her demanding tone. The boxers he still wore became much tighter and he couldn't wait to finally get them off. Norma lay before him nude and absolutely beautiful. He stood on his knees and pulled his briefs down. Her eyes instantly caught attention of his hardness and seeing her bite her lip while gazing at him made him twitch.

Just as he was about to rest his body on top of her to get started, Norma placed her hand on his chest and managed to position them so that he was lying on his back. Each of her legs went on either side of his thighs so that she cradled his lap. He was stunned at the change in control, but was nevertheless ecstatic.

Alex held her hips and snaked his hands up her back where he touched her soft delicate skin gently. Norma lined herself up with him and sunk down.

"Oh shit Norma," Alex let out. He knew he was ready for this, but nothing could prepare him for the wet feeling of Norma around him. She moved up and down slowly, savoring the feel of having him inside her. Alex reached behind her to grab a handful of her ass to help her move on him a little.

"You okay baby?" Alex asked her. They hadn't used little pet names with each other yet, and hearing him call her that made her so happy.

Norma bit her lip and smiled, nodding her head to answer his question. Her pace quickened and the two of them had filled the cabin with their moans. She leaned down so that her bare breasts touched his. Alex took the opportunity to push into her instead of having her do all the work, an action having Norma go crazy.

"Mmm Alex," she would whisper in his ear with that soft lovely voice of hers.

She took back control and rode him into oblivion. They were already so close to their release, but neither one wanted to end this amazing feeling of being connected so soon. Alex grabbed her hips and pulled her off of him.

"Lay down," he told her.

Norma did so without question and Alex watched her for a minute while he sat there on his knees. He made Norma feel a way she hadn't in so long; flawless, beautiful, and sexy. She was so excited and welcoming of these new feelings and this relationship.

"What are you waiting for Sheriff?" She purred and licked her lips slightly.

Alex gave her a smile and reached out to run his hand down her leg. His touch did so much to set insides ablaze. He continued to trace her silk like skin with his fingertips, running them up her arms, across her neck, down to her breasts where he leaned down on top of her. Gently setting his weight on her, Norma wrapped her legs around his waist where she could feel his rock hard cock grazing her leg. She couldn't help but moan and maneuver her body so that he was lined up with her.

Alex gripped her hips and looked into her eyes. "Slow down." His tone was set and demanding.

He looked away and down to her pink nipples, standing perfectly and ready for attention. When he touched her left breast, he marveled in how perfect they fit into his hand. Norma's eyes closed as Alex kneaded her, his fingers circling her areola and thumbing her nipple. As his tongue pressed down on it, she gasped and grabbed his neck.

Alex ran his tongue all over as Norma panted frantically beneath him, clutching his neck and head. After he was done tasting her, he reached down to get a feel of her center; she was practically gushing at this point.

He kissed her with force with his tongue darting out to gain access into her mouth. Their kiss was messy and heated as they desperately wanted to connect again.

"Alex please," she begged when he released her mouth from his own. He kissed and licked down her neck then pushed into her in one slick motion.

Norma yelled out in pleasure. The boat rocked steadily on the blue sea as the bed also rocked in the same manner from their restless movements. Alex kept playing with her soft hair, pulling and gripping it as he continued moving within her.

A series of approvals escaped her mouth and filled Alex's ear to give him all the satisfaction he needed. He was loving all the dirty words she kept exclaiming and he felt some sense of power in being the one to make her do that.

When she shook around him, he quickly followed. He slid out of her and pulled her into his chest, kissing the back of her neck and wrapping his arms around her warm skin.

"You're amazing," Alex told her.

"That's all you honey," she replied. Alex smiled and turned her around to face her. He really loved those baby blue eyes.

"And you're so beautiful."

"Thank you," she smiled proudly reached up and caressed his face.

He loved those wrinkles she would get on the side of her eyes every time she smiled. And the little snorts she would let out whenever she found something extremely funny. Her strength and compassion. Her mothering. Alex was lifted every second he spent with her.

"I don't want to seem cheesy, but I've never met a woman like you before. You're so different. It's why I wanted to be careful with how fast we've been moving. I don't want to ruin this."

Norma nodded and rubbed his arms. "Yeah I can say the same. I've been married twice, and the men in my life haven't been good to me at all. You made me realize my worth and helped me in more ways than you can even imagine."

It still perplexed him how someone could treat her like dirt, because she oozed of splendidness and glory. The intensity he felt everytime he was around her was overwhelming.

"I'm glad," he grabbed her wrist and placed a kiss towards it.
