"Pipes," Alex whispers, lightly poking the blonde's thigh. "We're here."
"What?" she mumbles in return, moving her head from where it was resting against the taller woman's shoulder.
"We've landed," the brunette explains, chuckling as the woman next to her reluctantly moves her body so that they can prepare to leave the plane.
"Good sleep?" Alex goes on to ask as she lets the blonde gather her belongings, waiting while others walk down the aisle to exit the aircraft.
"Mm-hmm. How long was I out for?"
"A couple of hours," the brunette replies, moving the arm rest up so that they can exit their seats. "Gave me some time to get some reading done," she adds, turning her body sideways to allow the blonde to get out and take the lead.
"Are you saying that my conscious company is disturbing?" Piper jokingly asks having grabbed her bag from the overhead locker and started to walk down the plane's aisle.
"Not disturbing, no, just," Alex pauses, her eyes falling on the sight of Piper's ass in a pair of leggings, "distracting."
"How so?" Piper asks though a smile, having turned around and caught the brunette in the act.
Knowing she'd been seen, Alex smiles, pushing her glasses higher up the bridge of her nose while fixing her rucksack on her shoulders.
"Just keep walking, Chapman."
The pair manage to get through the airport and into a car - as instructed by a small list given to them upon boarding their plane from the airline crew - where they're now standing in front of their private beach house.
"Why the fuck would she rent a whole house?" Alex asks, voicing more so rhetorically.
"It is Nicky we're talking about here, Al," Piper laughs, walking with her suitcase in tow closer to the front door before stopping to lean down and grab the envelope that was lying on the doormat addressed to the both of them. Inside lies a pair of keys and a typed note explaining how the place was theirs for a week and that everything already stored inside was for them to use as and when they wished.
Using the key to open the door, the pair are left astounded by the bright, luxury building they've found themselves in. The walls are a variation of aqua and white in colour, giving both an insight into the home's high-class interior design as well as a view of the stunning white beach.
"Wow," is all Piper can say as she walks through to the open-planned kitchen-dining area, standing by the large sliding doors that show their own private garden area featuring a pool, two sunbeds, two chairs, and a ramp at the end leading to the beach.
"I hate to say it, but it seems like Nicky knows us well," Alex comments from where she had been browsing through the contents of the fridge, while now holding up one of two tourism guides that had been left on the counter.
"I like how private it is," the blonde comments, moving from where she was standing to investigate the rest of the lower floor.
"Private enough that I can do this," Alex adds while following the blonde, reaching out a hand to grab her ass.
"How long have you been waiting to do that?" Piper asks, turning around and placing her hands around the brunette's neck.
"Since we woke up this morning," the older woman smiles, leaning her head downwards to connect their lips.
"Well you're going to have to wait a little longer because I think that's for us," Piper pulls away, looking over at the dining table that's covered with a buffet of food and champagne.
"Late lunch, unpack and then explore the area?"
"Sounds like a plan," the blonde smiles, grabbing Alex's hand while they walk over to start on their plans for the day.
"This is nice," Piper says from where she's lying between Alex's legs, back fused against her front.
"Hmm, yeah. I haven't been this relaxed in a long time," the brunette replies, tightening her arms around the blonde's waist from where they're sitting on the sandy beach.
"Not even when you went away this summer with Sylvie?"
"Not even when I went away with her, no," Alex admits sincerely, taking in the view of the sun setting in front of them.
"You know I could get used to this," Piper voices after several minutes of silence.
"Definitely. Not having any responsibilities and not having to pay rent is something I'm here for."
"That's not what I meant," the blonde reveals, turning her head around to establish eye contact. "This. Us. I could get used to doing things like this with you. It's so…"
"Effortless?" Alex chimes in, touched by the blonde's revelation.
"Effortless. Yeah," Piper breathes out, smiling.
"I know what you mean," the taller woman returns the loving smile, and while she's captured in the blue oceans looking into her own green orbs, the feeling of Piper's lips landing on her own throws her somewhat off guard, but she nevertheless immediately melts and responds to the loving gesture.
The beach - especially at the current evening hour - is empty. It's open to the small complex of rented homes around the area, however being that it isn't the peak time of year for renting, the pair - from what they've gathered so far - are the only people in sight.
The blonde - eager now that she's finally alone with the brunette in a private space where they don't have to worry about the media, turns her body around fully, pushing Alex down onto her back as she straddles her lap. The taller woman's hands run up the back of Piper's t-shirt, causing the blonde to break away from the kiss and let out a moan before moving her lips to Alex's neck.
They grow increasingly handsy at the realisation of what's about to happen hits both of them.
"Pipes-" Alex pants, tilting her head further backwards at the feel of the blonde's teeth lightly graze the column of her throat.
"Yeah," Piper replies, not removing her face from the crook of the older woman's neck.
"Sand's going up my top," the brunette struggles, chuckling lightly.
"Oh," the blonde joins in, vibrations erupting over the surface of Alex's neck. "Let's take this inside then."
"You sure?"
"Positive," Piper affirms, lifting herself up before stretching an arm out to assist her companion with the same task.
They rush hand in hand back into their home, laughing as Piper pulls their mouths back together while attempting to get up the staircase and to their bedroom.
The room itself is the definition of luxury. Fitted with a large king sized bed, a balcony, en-suite and large television, the space is more than enough to fit the needs of the woman taking up its occupancy for the coming week.
Pushing the door over – feeling somewhat strange at the idea of having it open while they're being intimate, Alex pauses at the base of the bed, breaking away from the kiss to look at the breathless blonde in front of her. With a smile on her face, she reaches out for the blonde's t-shirt, pulling it over her head to reveal a black laced bra that she must have changed into once they had unpacked. Moving further down, the brunette fiddles with the button of Piper's jean shorts, popping it open and pulling the zipper down so that they to fall to the floor and are eventually kicked off by the movement of the blonde's feet.
"You look beautiful, Pipes," Alex sincerely voices, eyeing the body of the woman before her.
Piper – dumbfounded that this is really happening along with the fact that she had always dreamt of Alex saying such things to her in a context like this – blushes, dipping her head slightly as she moves to fiddle with the hem of the taller woman's shirt to return the favour.
Now both standing in their underwear, it's Piper's turn to gawk.
"You look beautiful too," she whispers lovingly in return before leaning forward so that she can let her mouth do the talking… so to speak.
Alex's hands roam around the blonde's back whereby she successfully removes her bra, eliciting a moan from the younger woman at the feel of her hardening nipples coming into contact with the fabric of the bra in which she is still wearing. The action sparks a level of confidence among the blonde who too removes Alex's garment, and this time it wasn't just her that lets out a moan at the contact; despite both feeling as though they could crumble at the latest sensation alone, they knew they couldn't let that happen just yet - not this way.
"Is this okay?" Alex asks as she moves Piper backwards so that she's lying on her back.
"Perfect," the blonde replies through a smile, adjusting her head amongst the pillows at the top of the bed.
"Let me know if that changes," Alex voices one last time as she moves down to hold her body over the blonde's, knowing this is a big deal for the both of them.
"I will, but that's not going to, Al," she reveals moving her hands so that they're cupping either side of the other woman's jaw. "I've waited to do this with you for so long," she adds honestly, biting her lower lip to emphasise her want.
Alex – having had her minor chain of worry subdued – bends her elbows to allow her body to fully land on top of the blonde's, causing both women fluttering their eyes shut at the feeling of their full bodies being pressed against one another for the first time.
Their lips meet in a passionate frenzy in which feels as though they've been doing so for years, and while Alex opens her mouth, providing the woman below her with the entry she had been searching for, the blonde simultaneously uses her right hand to squeeze Alex's ass over her underwear.
Deciding to start taking the lead, Alex moves her lips along Piper's jaw and neck to the point in which she's at her sternum, feeling the rising and falling of her chest. The blonde's perky breasts fit her slim body shape, and despite being smaller than her own, the brunette couldn't be any more turned on than she currently is just at the sight of what's below her.
Moving her mouth to the tissue whereby she's lightly sucking the skin, Alex hears Piper let out a pleasurable groan – a sign that she's enjoying herself, and with the feel of a hand running through her hair, she knows she's definitely hitting the intended spot.
The noise above her and the grip in her hair increases as she brushes her tongue over the blonde's left nipple, and after eventually basking her attention between both breasts, Alex decides she can't wait much longer before she descends the whole way down.
The pressure of Piper's hand in her hair is an additional sign that moving lower is what she wants; the brunette somewhat complies, being that she stops at the blonde's toned stomach, delivering an array of kisses along the sweaty skin.
"Al, please," Piper pants, letting the older woman know that she hadn't moved down far enough, and soon after establishing eye contact – ensuring to maintain it, Alex indeed moves lower to which she places two fingers either side of the blonde's pants to pull them down and allow them to be kicked off to join the pile of clothing that had also been thrown onto the floor.
Alex stops in her tracks from where she's now resting on her stomach between the blonde's legs staring at the wet surface displayed between them.
Piper – feeling self-conscious at the fact that the brunette is staring intensely between her legs without saying anything – goes to close over her legs, but her movement is restricted by Alex putting her hands on her inner thighs, still not diverting her path of vision.
"God, Pipes," she whispers, obviously stunned by the view before her, and as the blonde goes to respond, Alex leans forwards, running her nose along her inner thighs and along her shaven, wet mound.
The first swipe of her tongue elicits extreme emotions for both parties; Piper's head juts back, revealing the sight of her neck veins along with the darkening marks gradually appearing, while – yet again – a hand shoots down to run through Alex's hair, encouraging her to maintain the contact. Meanwhile, Alex's eyes flutter shut at the taste of the blonde's wetness on her tongue. It's a moment she's thought about more times than she'd wish to openly admit, and in hearing – as well as seeing - the effect her touch is having on the woman she had wanted for so long, she herself begins to lose it, groaning into the sensitive skin.
Alex's obviously experienced tongue sends Piper to a state of euphoria she didn't even know was humanely possible, and at the feeling of her clit being played with as two, long fingers slide into her entrance, the blonde's hips jut upwards and the loudest moan yet is ripped from her throat.
"Right there, Al. Don't stop. I'm close," Piper pleads, feeling as though she's going to erupt at any moment.
Alex – in hearing the blonde's request, looks up out of her desire to watch the woman she's pleasuring fall apart; so when she delivers one last hard thrust and sucks on the moaning woman's bundle of nerves, the brunette watches Piper's resolve snap – a sight that she knows is immediately branded into her memory.
"Fuck. I'm coming! I'm coming!" Piper chants, having finally felt her body collapse when her eyes locked with Alex's all while being able to feel what she was doing to her body at the same time.
Alex helps the younger woman ride through the remainder of her orgasm, and when the blonde's body finally relaxes, the brunette carefully pulls her fingers out and is pulled up to eye level so that their lips can once again connect.
They both moan into the kiss, and when Alex pulls away, they're both mirroring the same smug, smiley look.
"To think we waited 3 years to do that," the brunette voices, moving so that she's lying down next to the blonde.
"Totally worth it," the blonde smiles, turning onto her side while hooking a leg over Alex's hip. "And now it's my turn."
"You don't have to, Pipes," the older woman adds as a rebuttal, not wanting Piper to feel uncomfortable.
"Let me," the blonde pleads, leading a new kiss.
"I can coach you through it if you want," the brunette adds, sounding somewhat hesitant.
"I don't need a coach, Al," Piper responds, moving so that she's on top of the brunette. "I've been with women before," she adds before her mouth attaches to Alex's breast.
"You have?" the brunette asks, eyes widening in clearly what is a sign of her shock at what the woman on top of her had just revealed.
"Mm-hmm."
"Oh," is all Alex says, trying her best to reign in her jealously at the thought – as well as the imagery – of Piper sleeping with another woman.
"That doesn't bother you, does it?" Piper asks, looking up at the brunette to fully assess her reaction.
"No! Of course not. I just assumed… well, that I was your first."
"You're the first one that really matters," the blonde reveals, yet in seeing how her previous admission had affected the older woman, she connects the dots. "You're jealous, aren't you?"
"Why would I be jealous, Piper? I know you've been with people throughout your life."
"Yes, but you're jealous by the fact that I've been with women most specifically," Piper counters, moving her body to the left so that she can run her right hand down the brunette's toned stomach.
"Okay, well, maybe I am a little jealous," Alex reveals, much to the blonde's amusement. "I just don't like thinking about it."
"Then don't," Piper says, brushing their lips together. " I've known for a long time that you're the only woman I want to be with, Al. The only person I want to be with," she admits, pushing her hand down and into the waistband of the older woman's underwear, clenching her jaw at the feeling of her fingers running through the abundance of wetness present.
All jealous-related thoughts immediately fly out the window as Piper examines the feeling of running her fingers though Alex's most intimate area, and with the brunette connecting their lips – tongues dancing passionately, the blonde pushes two fingers inside, both groaning into one another's mouths at the feeling.
Piper's confidence grows by the second at the sound of the brunette's mutterings of her name and the moans gracing her lips, and in feeling as though she owes this to herself as much as she does to Alex, she bites down on the brunette's lip, eventually pulling away to move down her body.
Reluctantly slowing down the pace of her fingers to the point in which she pulls them out, the blonde starts to speak, stopping the woman below her from protesting in her tracks.
"And while I have been with women before, it was never this intimate," she begins, using both hands to pull down Alex's black underwear. "Regardless of who I was with, if it wasn't you, I wasn't going to do it. But here we are," she adds, guiding the item off the tall woman's ankles and onto the floor, settling onto her stomach between opened legs. "So while you weren't my first in one aspect, you certainly are my first when it comes to this," the blonde concludes, eyeing the wet canvas before her as she moves her head forwards to take her first lick of what she can only imagine is an intoxicating taste.
Her stomach clenches at the sounds coming from the woman above her, and in feeling a loving hand caress the side of her face in encouragement along with the locking of their eyes, Piper knows she'll remember this moment; the moment in which Alex Vause really did become her everything.
