Do not own Orange Is the New Black or any of the characters.

Thanks again everyone for all your kinds words and such on the last chapter. It really did make my day! :)

A big thank you goes out to the wonderful, fig-aruna for once again making this chapter what it is now! (The white faux-fur blanket was her idea! ;P)

We Found Love

twinkle twinkle...

It was pouring buckets outside as Piper stood in the foyer of her office building. She was meeting up with Alex at the photography studio because her workplace was on the way home, but the blonde was having trouble getting a cab. It sounded cliché, but it was frustratingly true - It was really fucking hard to get a cab in the city when it was raining. As she looked out the glass of the door to the rain-covered streets, Piper's cell phone went off in her hand, which prompted her to look down at the screen and saw that a text had just come in.

Alex- Where are you, babe? I'm finished work.

Piper immediately began to text back on her BlackBerry to respond.

Piper- I'm waiting for a fucking cab. Will be there soon...I hope.

She pressed send with an expectant, impatient huff before once again looking back out at the street and watched as the rain violently pocked the puddles that had seemed to have formed in mere seconds. She had phoned for a cab just a couple of minutes of ago, but she knew that people everywhere were probably doing the same. She really fucking hated waiting like this, but especially when she was on the way to meet her girlfriend. She would normally just try to walk, but the studio was literally on the other side of the city, and she was in no-way dressed appropriately for a stroll in the down-pour that was currently attacking the outside world.

A few moments passed before Piper's phone beeped with another incoming text.

Alex- Kk. I'll be here waiting. :)

Piper couldn't help but smile stupidly as she stared down at the screen of her phone. Butterflies fluttered slightly in her stomach. She still couldn't stop getting excited every time she got a text from Alex, especially when she sent a smiley face. It was just so fucking cute and so unlike Alex, which bumped up the excitement factor by a hundred for Piper.

The two women continued to text back and forth until Piper's cab arrived at the front of the building.

Thank you, Mr. Christ!, thought Piper as she rushed outside, barely even caring about the rain.

"Where is everyone?" asked Piper as Alex let her into the studio. The place was empty as her eyes swept around the room. There were usually one or two other people here waiting to get their photos taken and such, but even Stacy the receptionist was absent from behind the front desk, where she would normally be cheerfully answering calls.

The place was dead.

"Gone home," answered Alex as she flipped the closed sign on the door and turned the lock. "Marco left hours ago like usual, and we've pretty much been dead since."

Piper just nodded her head in understanding as she met Alex's eye.

"Come on," whispered Alex as she gestured with her head for Piper to follow her into the office at the back of the studio. She just had some paperwork to finish up with before they could leave and head home together.

Piper didn't say a word as she followed Alex into the compact room. She was having slight déjà-vu as she took a seat on the chair across from the desk. Just two months ago she had sat in the very same spot and was looking across at Alex who was now sitting at the same computer terminal. Things were very different between them back then. For one, Alex didn't hate her, and second, she wasn't engaged to someone else. It was funny how life worked out, she thought to herself as she watched Alex type rapidly away on the keyboard of the computer.

They stayed like this in a slightly awkward silence with only the sounds of Alex's typing filling the space between them for a few moments before the lights suddenly flickered above them. Both women looked up at the ceiling at this. The sound of thunder could be heard in the distance.

"There's a storm a-brewin," spoke Alex in her best scary voice as she wagged her eyebrows at Piper and smirked.

Piper rolled her eyes and shook her head at Alex's childish behaviour. She tried not to smile, but found the corners of her mouth turning up despite her efforts.

The two of them gazed deeply at each other for a moment longer before the lights flickered again before going out completely.

"Fuck!" swore Alex as she tore her eyes away from Piper and onto the now-blank computer screen. She hadn't exactly saved the work that she had been typing up. "Fuck!" she swore again.

Piper couldn't help but snigger from her seat as she watched Alex unsuccessfully try to turn the computer back on.

"Babe," the blonde began to explain, "The power is out."

Alex glared at Piper through the dark at this. "I can fucking see that!" she snapped. She was in no mood to be teased at the moment. She had told Marco that she would be done with this client's paperwork tonight. The artist was going to have a shit-fit for sure when he came in tomorrow morning and found it not done.

"Well, maybe it's just a blip," suggested Piper as she brushed her hair out of her face and continued to look at Alex. "Just give it a minute."

The blonde couldn't help but think how ironic this all was that Alex was the one flipping out, and she was the one being calm. Nine out of ten times it seemed, it was the other way around.

Alex just peered at Piper in the dark before pushing her glasses off of her face and rubbing her face in a sigh of frustration. This was not how her night was supposed to go. She had been here all day already and didn't want to stay any longer to see if the power came back on or not. She just wanted to go fucking home with her girl, but she knew that she couldn't without her work being done.

The sound of thunder clapped once again, and lightning blazed in the distance, momentarily lighting up the room through the office's singular window. A semi-tense silence fell over the two women before Piper began pushing back her chair and rose to her feet.

Alex immediately looked up at this and locked eyes with Piper as she came towards her. The blonde's eyes were dark with lust and amusement as she smiled seductively down at her. Leaning forward, Piper placed her hands on Alex's knees and captured her lips in a soft kiss.

"Just relax," she whispered in between kisses. "You're so fucking tense. Just fucking relax." Piper then began to slide her hands up and down the tight denim that encased Alex's thighs.

"Okay," whispered Alex breathlessly as she caught Piper's eye. All thoughts of paperwork and Marco were gone from her mind as she continued to get lost in the gleaming blue ocean of Piper's eyes.

The couple stayed like this for a second longer before their mouths once again met in quiet passion. The kiss was slow but deep and raw as all other thoughts and feelings left their bodies, focusing solely on the kiss.

As their lips parted to allow their tongues to explore, Alex pulled on the collar of Piper's t-shirt. She wanted her on top of her. Now. Not breaking the kiss, Piper immediately removed her hands from Alex's thighs and rested them on the brunette's shoulders as she straddled her. The chair squeaked slightly at the sudden weight, but neither paid any attention as they continued to tongue-fuck. Hands roamed and touched at each other's bodies underneath yielding fabric as the heat in the room continued to build and breathless moans began to fill the air.

Piper tugged hard on Alex's lower lip before trailing her mouth down Alex's jaw and along the side of her neck, licking and sucking on the pale skin as she went. Her hands pushed at the straps of Alex's tank top, making them fall down her arms as she continued to make her way along the elegant curve of Alex's collarbone and down her shoulder.

Alex tilted her head back and moaned softly as Piper's hands found their way to her full breasts. She could feel all the tension lift from her shoulders as she closed her eyes and let Piper's touch take her over. For once, she didn't mind being not in control as Piper pulled down the front of the tank top and roughly squeezed at her tits. The brunette licked her lips and whimpered as she felt a burning sensation begin to overtake her loins, and her hips rocked slightly up against Piper's before rubbing back into the slightly coarse, criss-crossed fabric of the chair and back again, causing the chair to squeak a little in protest.

Piper smiled in the bare darkness as she continued to kiss Alex's exposed shoulders. Her hands explored and touched every inch of Alex's breasts, from the sides to taut pink nipples. She loved the feeling of Alex's soft flesh yielding beneath her hands. Her hands continued to explore Alex's chest underneath the material of the tank top before removing it completely. She threw it to the side, not caring where it landed as she tilted her head, and crashed her mouth to Alex's. Her teeth grazed her bottom lip before her tongue plunged deep to the back of her throat. Alex's hand immediately cupped the sides of Piper's face, pulling her mouth even closer to hers, trying to maximize their contact.

There was still no power in the building, but that meant nothing as electricity continued to course between their bodies as they began to further grind up against each other on the office chair. Their kisses continued to build with passion before they suddenly broke apart.

Both of them were wired up now and feeling the heat. There was way too much cloth between them. They wanted, no, needed to feel the heat of each other's bare flesh sliding against one another.

Alex's eyes burned intensely as she watched as Piper hurriedly strip off her shirt and bra before she threw it to the side with Alex's. The blonde smiled wickedly at Alex in the dark before biting down on her own lip. They were both now naked from the waist up, but that was still not enough.

There was still too much fabric between them.

Alex allowed her eyes to roam up and down Piper, moving from the gleaming brightness of her eyes to her slightly swollen lips down the delicate curve of her neck to those achingly perfect small tits of hers. Her eyes lingered there for a second, watching them rise and fall with every breath that the blonde took. She licked her lips slowly before sliding her hands over them, cupping them softly in her palms as she gently caressed their sides with the pads of her fingers.

Piper's eyes darkened even more as Alex continued to knead her chest. She felt her heart pick up as a pleasant and overwhelming warmth began to spread out below her navel. She urgently flexed her hips against Alex as the brunette deepened her touch, pulling hard suddenly on the sensitive skin of her nipples.

The blonde purred deeply and rolled her body in response.

Leaning forward, Piper began to pepper Alex's face and neck with kisses. Alex couldn't help but let out a raspy chuckle as Piper's hair fell into her face as the blonde desperately kissed every inch of her face and neck. It wasn't long though before their mouths found their way to each other's again, their lips yielding as their tongues coiled together. Alex slid her hands away from Piper's breasts and moved them down her back, never breaking contact. She held Piper's waist tightly as she began to rise from the protesting chair.

The kiss broke briefly as Piper wrapped her legs around Alex's waist and wound her arms around her shoulders as Alex carried her breathlessly away.

Their lips soon met again as Alex carried Piper out of the office and into the darkened hallway of the studio. Rain and thunder pounded and clapped in the distance as Alex carefully but steadily made her way through the dark to the room at the back. The insistent weight of Piper's body against her was as arousing as her relentlessly attacking lips.

The couple made it successfully into the room without tripping or bumping into any walls, which surprised them both as they continued to make out.

Alex nuzzled her face fiercely into the nape of Piper's neck and inhaled deeply as she pushed the blonde up against the wall while still holding her hostage in her arms. The muscles in her arms began to pulse slightly with tension, but she couldn't care less. If anything, it only turned her on even more. She continued to press Piper into the wall almost as if she were trying to make an impression of her there.

Piper's hands pushed and dug into Alex's back as the sensation of her mouth on her neck built. She didn't know how much longer she could take this. She could feel herself getting wet from all these caresses, her clit pulsing urgently. And having Alex's chest slide up against her own with every breath wasn't helping matters either.

"Baby..." she moaned breathlessly.

Alex looked up at this and smirked at Piper with smouldering eyes. She could read exactly what the blonde was thinking which only deepened her own senses.

The couple engaged in a last fierce kiss before Alex allowed Piper to slip down.

"Fuck, it's dark in here," noted the brunette as she began to move intently around the room. She knew this room well because this was where most of the photoshoots took place. Alex made her way to the mess of props and other things piled in a corner of the vast open space of the room. It took Alex a few moments of swearing and crashing into a few things before she found what she was looking for.

She smiled and wagged her eyebrows at Piper as she came towards her with a box of candles. The couple didn't speak a word to one another as they began placing the large candles throughout the room, lighting them one-by-one with Alex's silver Zippo.

The room was now adorned in candlelight.

The two women stripped off the remainder of their clothes before coming together again. The candlelight flickered with their movements and cast lengthy shadows across the walls. Along with the candles, Alex had found a thick white faux-fur blanket, which she had laid out on the floor.

"Come here," whispered Alex as she took off her glasses and gestured for Piper to come join her on the blanket with burning eyes.

Piper smiled as she came excitedly towards Alex and knelt down in front of her.

The two shared an intense stare before crashing their lips together with fire. Alex laid down on the blanket and pulled Piper on top of her, her pulse racing even harder as she felt their sexes sliding against each other's. They melted into one at this moment as the passion continued to build within them.

"I'm going to eat you," came Piper's voice low and breathless in Alex's ear as she tore her lips suddenly away from hers.

Alex opened her eyes and locked onto Piper's, her mouth falling slightly open. The blonde smirked at Alex in the candlelight as she began to trail her lips down the centre of her chest and tenderly kissed down along the soft pale skin of her torso to the brunette's navel. She spent some time licking and nipping around the inch of flesh below her belly button and where her rug began. She could feel the wet heat of Alex's cunt as she continued to slowly make her way down to it.

Alex spread her legs open further as the blonde's lips and tongue neared her core and hotly anticipated what was to come next.

Piper's eyes slid up briefly to meet Alex's before she started nuzzling the tip of her nose into the neatly trimmed curls that swept across the soft triangle of flesh just above Alex's pussy. She heavily breathed in the musky scent of the brunette's clear arousal before kissing her further way down.

Alex whimpered slightly as she felt Piper's lips meet hers down there. Her heart began to race, and she tilted her head back and closed her eyes as heat continued to flow through her. She usually liked to watch, but tonight, all she wanted was to feel. And feel she did as Piper licked her from back to front, wetting her entire pussy. Not that it needed much wetting, but Piper's mouth down there made her feel like she was drowning in ecstasy.

Piper licked slowly around Alex's cunt, along her outer lips and around her thighs. She wanted to make Alex moan and holler. She took her time, kissing and teasing the area before delving deeper into her folds.

Another moan escaped from Alex's lips as Piper covered her whole mouth over her cunt and sucked on it hard. She could feel the blonde's tongue tracing circles around her opening, teasing her.

"Fuck!" she swore in a desperate exhalation and arched her back as Piper blew cold air against her throbbing sex.

The blonde continued for a moment before once again licking Alex hard in an upward motion, lapping up her juices.

Piper took a brief moment to slide herself down against the fur blanket, so that she was now lying on her stomach and her hands were rested on Alex's thighs so that she could suck on Alex's clit more comfortably. She stimulated the area with her entire tongue, licking around it before batting it back and forth. She could feel Alex trying to press her thighs together as she continued to suck and lick at her, but the blonde wouldn't have it. She held Alex's thighs down with her hands as she continued to eat away at her muff.

Alex grunted and moaned sloppily as her body vibrated with delicious pleasure. Her eyes were squeezed shut, and her mouth hung open as she desperately dragged air in and out of her lungs. She had one hand clenching onto the blanket while her other gripped at Piper's blonde hair. She didn't know how much longer she could last like this, but at the same time, she didn't want Piper to stop. What she was doing with her mouth felt so fucking good.

Piper looked up briefly at Alex and softened her touch slightly before rapidly picking up speed again. She could feel the effect that her tongue was having on the brunette as her folds pulsed and throbbed hotly against her lips.

"Fuck!" cried Alex as she forced Piper's mouth deeper against her pussy. Her back arched and her hips rocked up and down. Her body felt like it was on fire as every nerve inside was awash with liquid pleasure.

Piper immediately deepened her touch at this. Her mouth once again isolated Alex's engorged clit and sucked on it hard like a vacuum. She knew that Alex was going to be a goner soon as she tried once again to close her thighs. Piper allowed her to this time as she removed her hands and rested one on the floor as the other went to Alex's centre. The blonde then slid a finger into Alex's opening as her mouth continued to work her clit. Primitive grunts and moans were the only sounds coming out of Alex's mouth as Piper found that spot within her and began to rub at it with the pad of her finger.

Piper continued steadily before Alex's body combusted. The brunette's heart was beating rapidly, and her chest was heaving up and down as she climaxed. Her fingers clenched at the back of Piper's head before going limp, her legs falling open again on either side of Piper.

Piper continued to rub and suck at Alex for a second longer before removing herself slowly from the now highly sensitive area. Her hands once again found their way to Alex's thighs and roamed circles along the soft skin before Piper began to kiss her way up Alex's body. Her touch was soft and gentle as her mouth traveled up her stomach to her neck. She towered over Alex as she nuzzled her face into the side of her neck.

Still coming down from her orgasm, the brunette looked up at Piper through hooded eyes and smiled lazily.

Piper couldn't help but smile back as she gazed down at Alex before softly capturing her lips in a tender kiss.

It was an hour or two later as Piper's eyes fluttered open to the sound of a guitar being strummed. She had quickly fallen into a deep sleep after Alex had deftly rounded out their intense session of adult wrestling. The blonde languidly rolled onto her stomach and propped herself up unto her elbows as she looked across the room to where Alex was seated cross-legged on the floor with a guitar in her lap. The brunette was lazily strumming the strings with her right hand while her left held up the guitar's stem.

"Do you play?" asked Piper, still somewhat sleepily.

Alex immediately looked up at this and locked eyes with Piper. A small smile appeared on her face as she shook her head from side to side. "No. I wish I did."

Piper nodded her head in understanding and continued to look at Alex for a moment before sitting up fully on the blanket. The room was still basked in candlelight, so she assumed that the power still hadn't come back on yet.

The two women sat there wordlessly for a moment as Alex continued to strum idly at the guitar.

"When I was seventeen, I took up the guitar," Alex began to explain to Piper. "I had these big plans that on my eighteenth birthday, I was finally going to move to the city and track down my dad, who was a huge drummer in this band. I had this crazy fantasy that only teenagers can dream up where he and I would tour the states and rock out on stage together."

Piper couldn't help but bark a laugh at this. "What happened?"

"Well, I fucking sucked at it. I only learned one song before giving up. And my dad turned out to be this fucking lame ass disappointment. Not as cool as my mom always made him sound. However, that's when I also met Nicky, so one good thing came out of it, I guess." Alex shrugged her shoulders slightly and smiled at Piper before going back to strumming the guitar. She didn't mention that after that meeting, she had also gotten into the drug ring as a mule.

Piper continued to study Alex, who was looking away from her. There was a brief tension suddenly in the room that she didn't like. She knew all about Alex's past and how she had met Nicky, who had been a junkie at the time. She knew all about Alex's past history with drugs and how she had fallen into it. It had bothered her all those years ago, but now she couldn't care less. It was in the past. But she knew it would always be a sore subject for Alex.

"So what was the song?" Piper asked suddenly, once again drawing Alex's attention onto her.

Alex stopped strumming for a moment as she smirked and wagged her eyebrows at Piper. "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star!"

The blonde burst out with laughter at this.

Alex continued to smirk at Piper as she began to play the simple chords of the familiar song and softly serenaded her.

Thanks for reading and don't forget to review!
