*taps* Is this thing on?

I know it's been a while, but I - unsurprisingly - got distracted by my other story Sold At First Sight (check it out if you haven't done so already). I really do aim to get this finished as I hate leaving things with crappy ambiguous endings, so please bear with me!

I'm unsure when I'll update next as life's keeping me on my toes, so let's hope you're well coordinated because I'm afraid patience is the aim of the game I'm playing.

However, I hope this was worth the wait - please let me know what you think!

Enjoy.


"Al, just put it in already," Piper gasps from where she's lying underneath her girlfriend.

"Ask nicely," the brunette prompts, continuing her movements as she runs the appendage through the blonde's wet centre, right hand aiding her control.

"Please," Piper pleads, feeling as though she could lose her cool at any given moment.

"Please what?" Alex asks with a smirk, knowing how her teasing is affecting the woman below her.

"Please put it in, Alex. Fuck me," the blonde begs, not knowing how much more of this she can take.

"That wasn't so hard now, was it?" the older woman smirks, slowing down the movement of her hand and hips to line up the hard tip with her girlfriend's centre.

Looking up at the blonde one last time to search for any sign of discomfort, Alex proceeds to push her hips forwards up until she's fully resting inside of her girlfriend.

Piper, meanwhile, lets a groan rip from her lips at the sudden feeling of fullness enveloping her body, and while she wants anything more than to wrap her arms around the woman above her, the silk scarves pulling her wrists into the headboard prevent any form of movement.

"Is this okay?" Alex asks, looking into the blonde's eyes who immediately identifies her girlfriend's worry as her vision flickers to her wrists attached to the headboard.

"Yeah, all good," Piper manages to pant out, trying to focus on not crumbling before Alex even begins to move her hips.

After the blonde earlier voiced her want for her girlfriend to do to her whatever she wanted, Alex's mind flooded as he found herself relaying all of the fantasies she had thought of featuring herself and the woman below her. Persuading the younger woman wasn't the challenge; deciding exactly what it was she wanted to do to the blonde posed to be a greater struggle. After watching Piper fall onto her back through heaving breaths and straighten her arms above her head after an exhausting second round of intimacy, Alex immediately knew where she wanted to take the blonde's request; to say Piper was thrilled would be an understatement.

From where they're currently positioned, the brunette waits for her girlfriend's approval to start moving, knowing she must be sensitive from the two orgasms she'd already had throughout the past hour.

"You can start," Piper vaguely says as though stuck in a lust-filled trance.

"Like this?" Alex asks as she begins to slowly move the dildo out to its tip, watching her girlfriend for any sign of protest.

"Mmm exactly like-" Piper whispers before the remainder of her sentence forcefully rips from her vocal cords as she feels Alex's hips push back forwards, causing the appendage to re-enter her centre, "THAT!"

Pleased at the reaction she's earning from the woman below her, Alex lowers her head into the crook of the blonde's neck, groaning at the pleasurable friction she herself is surprisingly experiencing, as well as the image of her eager girlfriend willingly tied up before her.

Piper, meanwhile, can already feel herself crumbling. Her body's sensitivity is starting to get the better of her, and as she begins to reach her peak, she craves more contact with the woman above her.

"Kiss me," the blonde moans out causing Alex to pull her head back from where it was nestled into the side of her neck nibbling on the reddened, sweaty skin.

The brunette gives off a smirk as she leans in yet stops just out of her girlfriend's reach, watching her plead while her restrained arms prevent their lips from meeting.

"Alex, please," Piper begs, feeling her eyes begin to water at the overwhelming pleasure coursing through her body.

In seeing the internal battle the blonde is experiencing, Alex momentarily takes pity on the woman below her, deciding to give her some relief.

Watching her girlfriend extend her neck that final bit, Piper opens her mouth to initiate a sloppy kiss that reflects her overflow of emotions. Alex, however, doesn't want to entirely give in just yet; biting down on the blonde's bottom lip before they get too carried away, the brunette begins to taunt the younger woman, wanting to take advantage of their current positions.

"You like being tied up like this, don't you? All at my mercy," she grunts, her hot breath painting the blonde's lips.

"God, yes," Piper responds eagerly, head tilting backwards as she feels the speed of her girlfriend's hips increase.

"All mine," the brunette groans out through heightened breath, feeling as though she won't be able to continue for much longer. "All mine to touch," she begins, the speed of her trusts matching her sharp tone of voice, "all mine to fuck."

"Alex-" Piper pants out through heaving breath as her hands begin to pull on the items restraining them.

"I didn't think you had it in you to introduce me to one of your past fucks," the brunette growls. "She looked familiar, you know: tall, dark hair. I bet she was fun," she adds, jealousy ringing throughout her tone.

"She- she wasn't you," Piper attempts to reconcile despite stuttering, but her mood suddenly shifts as she feels the woman above her slow down the pace of her hips and pull back the appendage so that only its tip is resting inside of her. "Al, what're you doing?" she asks, attempting to sit upwards to get a better view of what's going on, only to be reminded of her restrained position.

"I'm doing you am I not?" the brunette smirks, as she leans back and slowly begins to move her hips again.

Letting out her loudest groan yet, Piper's body relaxes back onto the bed as she's overcome with both pleasure and frustration courtesy of her girlfriend's slow movements.

"Not hard enough," the blonde responds, hoping to get her message across.

"You don't seem to be in the position to be making demands down there," Alex points out having leant back forwards. "I'll fuck you how I like," she adds, still maintaining the slow pace of her hips as she chooses to carry out her fantasy rather than give into pleasure too soon.

"Alex, please just fuck me," Piper pleads, her eyes welling up.

"At least you've learnt your manners," the brunette smirks before giving in and increasing the speed of her hips.

The room is soon filled with moans and groans from both parties, and along with a string of profanities on Piper's part, it's evident that even if she wanted to, Alex wouldn't be able to slow down anytime soon.

"Fuck! I'm coming! I'm coming!" Piper screams out as her back arches into the air, causing the woman above her to also fall from her peak, resting her face into the crook of the blonde's neck as she recovers.

Several minutes later, Alex pulls back to observe Piper's face.

"You okay?" she asks, noticing the blonde's eyes are still closed over.

"Wonderful," the blonde blissfully responds, still keeping her eyes shut until she opens them again as she continues to speak. "That was-"

"I know," Alex smiles, raising her right hand to push Piper's sweaty hair from her forehead and readjust the loose bits behind her ear, before pulling back to detach the item connected to her own centre and place it onto the floor at the end of the bed.

"Al," Piper probes, causing the older woman to look up. "Forgetting something?" she goes on to ask through a smile as she moves her restrained wrists to emphasise her point.

"Oh shit, yeah, sorry," Alex chuckles before quickly shuffling forward on her knees and carefully untying her girlfriend. "Better?"

"Better," Piper quietly groans out as she moves her arms down to the side of her body, grateful to finally regain some form of movement.

Feeling the right side of the bed lower - a sign that Alex had flopped onto her back, Piper turns onto her left side, placing a hand on her girlfriend's hip.

"Have I worn you out?" the blonde asks the recovering brunette.

"I wouldn't say it was you specifically considering I did all of the work," Alex smartly comments, causing Piper to lightly pinch the skin of her hip.

"Well it's not like I could move, Al," the blonde chuckles.

"What about the first two times?" the older woman smiles, letting her girlfriend know that she's only messing with her.

Without vocalising her thoughts, Piper decides to let her actions do the speaking; shuffling from her position, she moves so that she's now straddling the brunette's toned, sweaty abdomen from where she's now lying in the centre of the bed, and places her hands on the older woman's chest to keep upright.

"We can't have you thinking that now, can we?" the blonde asks as she leans forwards to fuse their lips together which soon escalates from an innocent connection to one of growing passion.

Feeling herself getting worked up again, Piper's hips begin to move against her girlfriend's stomach, causing both women to let out vocal groans of approval.

"Very controlling," Alex utters against the blonde's lips in a sarcastic tone as she attempts to lean forward and turn them over, but as she does so, Piper removes her hands from their position on the brunette's chest.

In the uncoordinated manoeuvre, Alex's arms instinctively move to prevent the woman above her from losing her balance, but as her hands accidentally land under the blonde's armpits, she immediately sees her objective crumble right before her eyes.

Wriggling in a seemingly uncontrollable fashion as she laughs loudly, Piper's body flies off to the left as though she'd just been burnt, and although she attempts to make a last-ditch attempt at grabbing onto something, the blonde fails and lands on the bedroom floor with a loud thud.

"Shit!" Alex announces, moving up on her right elbow to check on her girlfriend. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah," Piper huffs out as she raises her torso from the floor, using her flat palm to keep up her weight. "Being tickled isn't my thing, inside and outside the bedroom," she explains, giving a close-lipped smile as she sees a wave of relief wash over her girlfriend as she observes Alex rest her back onto the bed as she allows herself to start laughing.

Not yet finding the strength to get back up entirely, Piper scans along the floor in front of her; eyes landing on a specific object.

It's something she'd been thinking about for quite some time - how couldn't she?, and although she'd always imagined the process of planning and performing some sort of grand gesture, as she flicks her eyes back up to the naked, dark-haired woman lying on the bed with her eyes closed over, she knows that it's a now or never opportunity.

Reaching her hand under her side of the bed, Piper pulls out one of her old running trainers and proceeds to take out the lone scrunched up sock she had previously placed inside. Fiddling with the small, white garment, she pulls out what she had been looking for - what she had spent a lot of time searching for before making such a purchase.

Putting the sock back into the shoe and pushing the item back under the bed, the blonde finds herself somewhat seated on the floor holding a small, black box - her girlfriend completely oblivious as to what she had just done. Again, she'd hoped to have planned out this next part - the importance of what she wanted to say, but in spontaneously deciding to throw caution to the wind with waiting, she knows that it isn't the words that'll come from her own mouth that's beginning to make her palms sweat.

"Are you alive down there?" she hears Alex ask through a chuckle as she still has her eyes closed over.

"Sorry, yeah. I was just getting something," Piper says before clearing her throat while she gets into position.

"From the floor?" Alex laughs to herself as she props herself up on her right elbow and finally opens her eyes, setting her sights on her - very much so - naked girlfriend who happens to be down on one knee with her right hand resting on her thigh and the other by her side. "Pipes-" she voices, unsure if her initial instincts regarding what is about to happen are correct.

"I know what you're thinking: my tits look bigger from this angle," Piper begins, chuckling nervously as she tries to compose herself using humour. "This isn't how I originally wanted this to go. I'd thought time and time again of the several different ways in which I could make you happy and this memorable, but the truth is, Alex, whenever I'm with you I feel happy, and I guess if your feelings are as visceral as mine, I figured this would make you happy too," she momentarily pauses due to the high-pitched crack in her voice, letting out a heavy breath as she tries to stop herself from crying.

"I love everything about you, Alex. And by everything, I mean the way you smile even when you're annoyed, the way you fiddle with you glasses when you're nervous, and even when you tickle me, both by accident and with intent," the blonde smiles, giving in to the tears falling down her cheeks. "I want to see that smile, watch your reactions and experience your presence everyday for the rest of my life, and although it took me a while to realise and voice that, one thing I'm certain about is the way I feel about you right now and how I'll always feel about you," she pauses once again, sniffing as she too watches the woman before her wipe away a tear that had fallen from behind her glasses that she must have put on just after she had landed on the floor.

"I love you, Alex, and it would mean the world to me if you'd let me love you unreservedly," Piper adds before reaching her hand down to the opened box by her side, lifting it up in her right hand. "So, Alex Pearl Vause," she pauses a final time, not wanting her tears to affect the clarity of her integral question, "will you marry me?"

Alex, meanwhile - having straightened up her position as soon as she spotted the blonde on one knee, smiles at the woman before her - the woman she would do anything for, and wipes her watery eyes under her glasses to restore some form of focus.

"Yes, of course I'll marry you, Piper," the brunette finally breathes out, causing the younger woman's worried look to turn into a relieved toothy smile.

Reaching forward to grab the older woman's left hand, the blonde slips the silver diamond ring onto Alex's ring finger before pushing herself up from the floor while the brunette simultaneously shuffles to the right side of the bed to stand up.

Placing her hands on either side of Alex's face, Piper pulls her into a kiss, both women smiling into the contact at the realisation of the latest milestone in their relationship.

"Thank you for saying yes," the blonde says as pulls away to wipe her eyes.

"Like there was any other option," Alex smiles, reaching up a hand to take over and wipe her fiancée's wet cheeks. "How long was that under there?" she goes on to ask, referring to the stunning ring now adorning her finger.

"A couple of months," Piper admits. "I know how much you hate the gap under the bed so thought that was a smart place to hide it - and you hate running, so I thought that would top it off.

"You never fail to amaze me, Pipes," the brunette smiles.

"Let's just say this made up for making me fall off the bed during sex, which is a first," the blonde chuckles, thinking back to the reason in which she ended up on the floor in the first place.

"While I can't say you getting down on your knees was a first, the outcome certainly was," Alex smiles, loving the rose coloured blush covering Piper's cheeks.

"Yeah, it was, wasn't it?" the blonde asks rhetorically as she runs her right hand down the brunette's toned stomach before resting it between her legs; leaning forward to kiss the taller woman, Piper begins to let her actions do the talking.
