(This is a direct continuation of the previous chapter)
By the third day, Alice finally felt well enough to venture out of the trailer and she decided to walk the short distance to the laundromat. It was a beautiful day and Alice enjoyed the fresh air. She couldn't recall a time when she had spent so much time sleeping. While the tiredness was mostly due to the recovery from the surgery, she also just enjoyed that she could finally sleep without having to worry about her drunk father coming in at all hours and possibly letting out his anger on her. She put the clothes in the machine and decided to sit outside and to finally have a look at the schoolwork that FP diligently brought home for her every day.
Alice worried about him. A lot! She didn't know how long he would be able to continue to juggle school, being the Serpent King and managing the bar. When she'd mentioned it to him the night prior, he'd shrugged it off and told her that things would likely calm down once he'd established himself. He explained that while the decision his father had made could not be reversed, a lot of the older Serpents weren't happy with the arrangement and were just waiting for him to make a mistake. So, she tried to support him in any way she could. By cooking, keeping the trailer clean and providing some comfort when he finally collapsed into bed late at night.
Once the laundry was done, she folded it and placed it in the shopping cart, before walking back home. She settled on the couch with her English book and decided to finally finish the school assignments in preparation for her return the following week. She must have dozed off again and was woken-up by someone pounding on the door. Her heart stopped for a second and she slowly made her way to the window. The only thing she could see was long blonde hair.
"Alice? It's Penny. FP sent me. Can you please open the door?"
Alice pulled back the chain and let the girl inside. Penny walked into the kitchen and the two teenagers looked at one another warily. Penny was the first to break the uncomfortable silence.
"So, you do exist. We were wondering if FP was just pretending to have a girl back at his trailer. When will you be formally introduced?"
Alice shrugged noncommittally. "I haven't been in my best form."
Penny opened the fridge and took out a soda. "Yeah, we guessed. I had the pleasure of meeting your old man, after all."
Alice involuntarily jolted at her words and Penny held up her hands. "Hey, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you. I was the one who packed your stuff."
"Thank you." Alice murmured. "Is there anything you need?"
Penny just shrugged and walked into the living-room. "Looks like we're going to be spending the afternoon together." She plopped herself down onto the couch. "Serpent business."
Alice frowned. "What do you mean? Is FP ok?"
Penny picked-up the remote to turn on the TV. "I'm sure he will be."
Alice grabbed the remote out of Penny's hands and turned the TV off. "Enough with the bullshit!" She glared at the girl. "Tell me what's happening."
Penny looked at Alice, seemingly sizing her up. "What has FP told you about the Serpents?"
"We haven't really talked much about it. When he gets home, he mostly goes to sleep."
Penny nodded. "But you know about them? What they do?"
Alice shot Penny an icy look. "You were at my house, right? It's two miles down the road. Of course I know what the Serpents do. They're a gang. Dealing, petty crime, you name it. Still doesn't explain what you're doing here."
"Yes, that about sums it up nicely. In addition, sometimes they do the other odd job here and there. The kind that could get them in trouble with the law. In those cases, the ones not involved team-up for potential future alibi needs. So, you're stuck with me, Sunshine. Whether you like it or not. FP told me to stay until he gets back and that was an order."
Alice looked worried. "Do you know where they're going or what's happening?"
Penny just shrugged. "I don't and neither will you. That's the deal. We know nothing, so we can't get implicated. Not before, not after. I wouldn't bother asking your man about it, either. If the police come around asking questions, we will tell them we were watching TV. Hence, the remote. Can I have it back, please? Take a note of what we're watching while you're at it."
Alice handed her the remote. "Do you want coffee?"
"Thanks. Milk, two sugars."
Alice busied herself in the kitchen and came back with two coffees. She handed one to Penny and sat down with her notebook to jot down what they were watching. Penny looked at Alice and saw that the hardened expression had left her face. She mostly looked worried. She placed her hand on top of her arm.
"I'm sure they'll be fine. I know this waiting game is terrible. My boyfriend is there as well."
Alice took a deep breath. "We'll just have to wait it out, I guess. How long have you been a Serpent?"
"I'm not. My parents are, my brother is. I won't do the dance and won't join, unless they get rid of that sexist tradition. Until then I'll be an honorary strap-hanger, I guess."
"The dance?" Alice raised an eyebrow.
Penny shook her head in disgust. "Yeah. If you're a man you get to babysit Hot Dog, get bitten by a rattlesnake, run a gauntlet. If you're a woman, the only requirement is to strip in front of everyone at the Wyrm."
Alice let out a shocked laugh. "You gotta be kiddin' me! So, if I want to join, I'll have to strip?"
"Yup! And you're the King's girl. Your boyfriend has a bit of a possessive streak. I doubt he'll want you to shake your ass in front of a group of lewd, drunk men. I wouldn't count my chickens if I were you."
Alice nodded thoughtfully. "What if FP can get rid of the rule?"
Penny waved her hand dismissively. "It's not a rule. It's a law. It requires a vote. Others have tried and failed. FP's father, despite being an asshole, actually tried to get rid of it. He couldn't." She went into the kitchen to refill her cup. "By the way, Hog Eye, Tall Boy, Mustang, and I want to organize a party for FP next Friday. Celebration of his ascension to the throne and all that. Want to help organize?"
Alice's face lit-up with a smile. "I would love to!"
"Wow, you do look pretty when you smile. I can see why he's keeping you around. Want to discuss details over dinner? Are you cooking?"
Alice scratched her head. "Sure, why not. I'll make us dinner."
She went into the kitchen and prepared spaghetti with meatballs and tomato sauce. She covered one plate for FP to have later and placed the other two on the table. Penny joined her and started eating.
"Wow, this is really good. FP is a lucky guy." Penny praised her.
"It's all about the spices. They're cheap and you can make everything taste better. I love to cook and experiment."
They sat back down in front of the TV once they finished and Penny dozed off, while Alice kept looking at the clock. It was dark outside now and she was worried sick. Please let FP come back in one piece!
Suddenly she heard a commotion and the door burst open. Penny was up with a jolt and ran to the door to hug one of the men.
"Hey, doll! We made it back mostly in one piece." He pressed a kiss on Penny's mouth.
Alice looked frantically around the room and couldn't spot FP. She turned towards a tall teenager with long hair and pulled his arm.
"Where's FP?" She asked with a panicked voice.
"He's right behind us. You must be Alice. I'm Tall Boy. That's Mustang, Hog Eye and Snake. Guys, this is Alice, FP's girl."
They all turned towards her and eyed her with open curiosity. Then they turned towards the door as FP walked into the trailer. Alice's eyes opened wide as she saw that he had a black eye and was bleeding from a cut on his mouth. Their eyes met briefly, and he shook his head imperceptibly. Alice stayed back as she watched him sit on the couch. He took a wad of dollar bills from his pocket and started counting them, before neatly organizing them into 5 separate piles. He then distributed them to his crew. The men pocketed the money and prepared to leave. Just before he walked out Snake turned around and leered at FP.
"You sure you didn't miscount this, Prince?"
Alice had never seen anyone move so fast as she watched FP jump up from the couch. In a fraction of a second, he had reached Snake and had slammed him against the wall. He squeezed the man's neck.
"The name is FP! And I am the fucking King! Don't push my buttons tonight, Snake. You're already threading on very thin ice. Is that clear?" He pushed him further against the wall. "IS THAT CLEAR?"
"Yes, boss!" The man wheezed.
"Good! Now get the hell out of my sight!" He opened the door and threw Snake down the steps. He landed on the ground outside with a loud thud. FP closed the door and locked it. He took a moment to lean against the door with his back to Alice. He took a deep breath. She walked towards him and hugged him gently from behind. He placed his hands on top of hers and she rested her head on his back. They stayed like that in silence for a while, before he slowly turned around. He looked at her with haunted eyes.
"Ally, I'm sorry you had to see that."
She ran her fingers lightly over his bruise and the cut on his lip. "Shhhh, FP. You're safe. That's all I care about. Sit down and let me take care of you for once."
She guided him over to the couch and placed a kiss on his lips. "I'll be right back."
Alice went to the kitchen and put the spaghetti in the microwave. While it was heating up, she placed some ice cubes inside a dishtowel and grabbed a towel and ointment from the bathroom. She took all her items over to where FP was and sat on the couch next to him. She handed him the plate and a bottle of soda.
"Now eat!" He smiled slightly at her commanding voice and tucked into the food.
Alice alternated between wiping the blood of his chin and icing his bruise. She placed her hand behind his neck and could feel how tense he was. He turned towards her and placed a hand on her thigh.
"That was delicious. Thank you!" He sounded tired and Alice's heart went out to him.
She reached behind them to pull the curtains shut and straddled him. She took his face in her hands and kissed him. "We're not done here yet, Forsythe!"
He looked into her clear blue eyes and smiled. She could feel his body relaxing as he pulled her towards him for another kiss.
"We aren't?" He whispered into her ear as he nibbled down her neck.
Alice grabbed her shirt and pulled it over her head. She wasn't wearing a bra and the look of adoration on FP's face was priceless.
"You are stunning!" He said hoarsely.
She grabbed his hands and placed them on top of her breasts. He cupped them gently and ran his fingers over her nipples. Alice pushed herself forward on his lap and ground herself against his erection. He moaned loudly as she pulled his head towards her chest, and he wasted no time in fastening his lips around her right nipple. Alice gasped as he moved to the left one. After a little while she pushed his head back and got off his lap to kneel between his legs. She started undoing his belt and popped open the button of his jeans, before lowering the zipper. He placed his hand on top of hers.
"Ally, what are you doing? Someone is clearly not following doctor's orders." He chastised her gently.
Alice smiled and moved his hands to the side. "Doctor said to refrain from anything invasive. And I will follow those instructions only."
FP laughed loudly, leaned back and placed his hands behind his head. "In that case…"
Alice opened his pants and placed her hand through the opening of his boxers. She wrapped her fingers around his member and looked at him with wide eyes.
"God, FP! It's huge."
FP opened his eyes and smirked. "So I've been told. And it's all yours if you want it, babe!"
Alice looked dubious. She still had to break the news to FP that she'd never gone beyond this particular stage with any of the boys she had dated in the past. She certainly had never seen anything resembling the size of FP. She wondered how he would ever fit when they eventually moved to the next stage. She'll worry about that at a later time. Right now, her focus was on making him feel as good as possible. He deserved everything. She carefully pulled his member through the hole in his boxers and took him into her mouth.
FP moaned loudly as he dug his fingers into her hair. The sound he uttered gave her the confidence to continue and she slowly moved her mouth up and down his shaft. She didn't know if she was doing it right, but he certainly didn't seem to be complaining. After a while she increased her speed and she heard him breathe shallower. Uttering a loud groan, he pulled her head back and spilled his seed over her chest. He looked down at her tenderly.
"Oh Ally, Ally, Ally…"
She smiled at him. "Do you feel better now?"
"I feel fucking great, babe. That was amazing. Let's get you cleaned up and go to bed."
He took her hand and she followed him into the bathroom, where he grabbed a towel which he used to wipe her chest. They stood by the bed and she was about to pull her t-shirt back over her head when he stopped her.
"FP?" She turned to him with a question in her eyes.
He laid on the bed and pulled her down next to him. He ran his hand in circles over her stomach.
"We're not done here, Ally." She smiled at him using her earlier words.
"We aren't?"
FP kissed his way down her chest and placed his hands into the waistband of her sweatpants. She lifted her hips slightly so that he could pull them off.
He lifted her leg and kissed his way up until he reached her navel. He rubbed his nose along the top of her panties.
"FP, what are you doing?" Alice ran her fingers through his hair.
FP paused to look at her. "Ally, I don't know what guys you've slept with, but if I come, you will too."
Alice laid her head back on the pillow. "No one, really." She muttered to herself.
"Hmmmmmm" FP had resumed nuzzling her panties. He suddenly stopped. "Wait, what?"
"What?" Alice said confused.
"What did you just say?" FP moved up and propped himself on his elbow.
Alice blushed furiously. "You heard that?"
"You bet I did. You're a virgin?"
Alice blushed even more and nodded. She turned her head to the side and looked away from him.
He placed his fingers on her chin and turned her head back to face him.
"Baby, there's no need to be embarrassed. I'm just surprised. What was all that back there then?"
"You looked stressed. I hear the girls talk in the locker room. I wanted to do something nice. I'd never…"
FP took a deep breath. "Well, you're certainly a natural. I'd never have guessed." He kissed her tenderly. "You're amazing, Ally!"
Alice smiled at him shyly. "I'm glad you liked it. Are we going to sleep now?"
FP huffed. "We are certainly not. As I said before. If I come you will too. Always!" He moved his hand down her body. "Now, where was I?"
Alice giggled as his hand sneaked inside her panties. Then she moaned when she felt his thumb running over her nub. FP expertly ran his fingers along her folds and soon had her writhing under him.
"Oh, FP, that feels so good!" Alice gasped.
"I think I can make you feel even better." He tugged at her panties and she lifted her hips so that he could slide them down her legs.
He looked down at her naked form. "You're perfection."
She bit her lip and smiled as he kissed his way down her body. She would never forget how it felt like when his tongue touched her down there for the first time. FP smiled when he felt the shiver running through her whole body and her guttural moan as he put his best effort forward to please her as much as possible. He paused for a second just to steal a look at her face and was surprised to see her brow furrowed in concentration as she bit her lip.
"Ally, what on earth are you doing?" He asked quietly.
She opened her eyes to look at him. "It feels so good. I've never felt like that in my life. I was counting sheep in my head to make it last."
FP laughed loudly and shook his head. "You are full of surprises, babe! Count away, then."
He moved back to his previous position and the moment he brought his tongue back against her swollen nub, he felt her come undone. He sucked and licked her through her release, before wiping his mouth and chin against her belly and placing a kiss on her mouth.
"You can't have counted much past three." He said with a smirk and she laughed.
"That was amazing, FP!" She was still panting slightly.
He thought she looked adorable as he looked down at her flushed face and her slightly parted lips.
"You're amazing, Alice! You truly are. I can't wait for all the things I want to do to you."
Alice kissed him. "Neither can I. 10 days."
FP turned and spooned her against him. "If I can have 10 days of doing only this, I'll be the happiest guy."
He yawned and she stroked his arm.
"Forsythe….?"
"Hmmmmm" He mumbled sleepily.
'Will you let me do the dance?"
He opened his eyes. "How on earth do you know about the dance?" He groaned. "Let me guess, Penny?"
Alice nodded. "So? Will you let me?"
FP ran his hand over her side. "Fuck, no! Over my dead body! This here is for my eyes only."
Alice smiled and bit her lip. "But, it's the law."
"Fuck the law, Ally! Don't you even think of it!"
"Ok, Forsythe." Alice simply said, before she closed her eyes.
i hope you liked the update!
