"What?" Piper says quietly. Alex can see the wheels turning in her head. "The bar is called Three Doors Down and you live here which is literally three doors down… So that means you…" Alex lifts her eyebrow in that sexy way of hers and completes Pipers sentence, "Own it." Pipers eyes widen in shock, "But the other night, when we met you were waiting tables and tending bar, don't you have like…employees that do that for you?" Alex giggles, "Yeah Pipes I do, but I had to fire one of my best bartenders because I caught her stealing from the cash register, so since we are short staffed I fill in whenever necessary. That reminds me, I really have to place an ad on Monday and start interviewing for someone new." Piper's eyes widen even further remembering last night, "So that's what Nicky meant when she said 'you're the boss' yesterday before we left to walk me home!" Alex laughs even deeper, "You heard that, huh, why didn't you say anything?" Piper flashed Alex her brilliant smile, "I guess I didn't catch it at the time!" and leaned in for a quick kiss.

Alex uses her key to open the entrance to her apartment building. "So how long have you lived here?" Piper asks casually. "Actually, I have lived in this building nearly all my life," Alex murmurs. Alex's voice sounds a bit sad so Piper tries to lighten the mood, "Well aren't you just full of surprises tonight! Alex smiles and looks into Piper's baby blues before saying, "Come on, I can't wait to show you my place!" and drags the blonde to the elevator. Once in the elevator, Alex can't resist any longer, and pushes Piper up against the wall, moving her body closer and closer until there is no more than an inch of space between them. Alex leans in pressing her body completely against Piper and captures her lips with her own sliding her tongue into the blonde's mouth. Piper responds immediately and rolls her tongue around exploring Alex's mouth. Things are just getting pretty hot and heavy when the elevator dings and the doors open. Piper sees that they are on the 15th floor "Holy cow, you live in the penthouse?" Piper squeals. In response Alex uses her key to open the door to her apartment. The first thing Piper sees upon entering the apartment is the amazing view from the floor to ceiling windows that cover one whole wall. Alex flips on the lights and says, "Well, what do you think?" "I think this place is amazing Al!" Piper says excitedly as her eyes wander around. Alex grabs Pipers hand and walks her to the living room sofa. "Make yourself comfortable, and I'll go get those cappuccinos started." Alex gives Piper a quick kiss and a wink before heading off to the kitchen.

Piper spots a bookshelf that takes up nearly the entire corner of the room. She gets up and walks over to the bookshelf to browse. She can't believe the number of books Alex owns! "Gee, and I thought I had a lot of books," Piper says to herself. Alex reenters the room carrying two mugs and hands one to Piper, "Mind if I turn on some music?" "Thank you— and no I'd love to listen to some music."

"Hey Alex, can I ask you something?"

"Sure kid, ask away."

"What did you mean when you said you had lived in this building nearly all your life?"

"Well my mom and I moved into this building when I was eight years old, we lived in number 416 which is a one bedroom and one bathroom apartment." Alex says quietly. "My mom gave me the bedroom and she slept on our pull out couch in the living room. She had to work three jobs, just so we could afford the rent, utilities, and food, we never had a lot but at least we had each other." Alex trailed off.

"Wow, Al I know you told me that you and your mother are close, but now I think I understand even better," says Piper softly gazing into Alex's emerald eyes and grabbing both of her hands with hers.

"I remember being ten years old and making a promise to myself that one day, I would get my mom out of that tiny apartment and into a house that she deserves and when I was nineteen I uh…inherited some money and I was able to do just that."

"Al, I thought you told me you had no family other than your mom, so who did you inherit the money from?"

Alex smiles, "Pipes have you ever heard of the metal band Death Maiden?"

Piper squints her eyes thinking, "Yeah they were Cal's favorite band when we were teenagers, but what does that have to do with your inheritance?"

"Well as it turns out, the drummer, Lee Burley was my biological father." Alex continues, "I decided to find him and try to meet him when I was eighteen. Somehow I got backstage and when I met him and told him who I was all he could say was that I had a 'nice rack' and he was glad he never 'accidentally fucked' me," Alex finishes kind of sadly.

"Oh Alex, that sucks, I'm so sorry that happened to you," says Piper comfortingly.

"Well anyway, about a year later I was working two part time jobs and attending community college, when a lawyer showed up at our apartment to let me know that Lee had passed away of a heart attack. Apparently, he must have felt bad about the way our meeting went and being absent my entire life because he left me a large amount of money in his will." Alex relates.

"The first thing I did was pay for my entire business degree. The second thing I did was buy my mom a house in the suburbs, and the third thing I did was buy the bar. I was still living in the old apartment at the time, I just didn't want to leave this place because it was such an important part of my childhood you know?" Piper nods her head and Alex continues, "I decided to name the bar Three Doors Down as kind of a tribute to my mom for all the years of blood, sweat, and tears she put in so that I could have a better life." Alex finishes a bit shyly.

"About two years ago, I saw that the penthouse was for sale, and since the bar was going so well, I decided to go for it. And there you have it how I ended up here." Says Alex smiling again.

"Thank you for sharing Alex, I am so envious of the relationship you have with your mother. Red is actually more of a mother to me that Carol Chapman ever was or ever will be," sighs Piper, "By the way this cappuccino is wonderful."

Suddenly Alex pulls Piper onto her lap so that Piper is straddling her, "Now back to where we left off in the elevator…" Alex smirks. Alex begins kissing her deeply running her hands along Piper's waist and hips. Piper's hands begin to roam to the hem of Alex's shirt brushing her bare stomach in the process. "Are you sure Pipes?" Alex asks "We can just kiss and cuddle here on the couch, I can wait as long as you need." In response, Piper pulls Alex's shirt up and over her head leaving Alex in a red lace bra. Piper just stares for a moment with her mouth actually agape at the beautiful woman in front of her. Alex laughs "Like what you see Pipes?" Piper starts kissing her again and this time allowing her hands to travel down to her full breasts, cupping them and playing with her nipples through the bra. Piper feels frustrated at the piece of fabric keeping her from Alex's bare breasts and quickly unhooks her bra and threw it to the floor. "Wow, you are gorgeous Alex," whispered Piper. Alex responded by lifting Piper's shirt over her head and quickly unclasping her bra. Piper's breasts are small, but beautiful as they fit perfectly in Alex's hands. Alex begins to kiss down Piper's neck to her collarbone, where she receives a moan of appreciation from Piper. Alex moves down slowly taking one of Piper's nipples in her mouth, while continuing to play with the other one with her fingers. Piper groans and arches her back seeking more contact with Alex's mouth. Alex lavishes attention on Piper's breasts before slowly leading Piper to her bedroom. Once in the bedroom Alex pushes Piper down onto her California King and begins to undo the button on Piper's jeans. Alex looks at Piper's eyes for any sign of hesitation, finding none, she slides down the zipper and lifts Piper's hips to remove them. Piper is now lying of Alex's bed in nothing but a pink thong, and Alex's eyes are darkening with lust. Alex moves back up Piper's body massaging her breasts and kissing her stomach. Alex continues to move lower and lower where she discovers a rather large wet spot on Piper's thong. Alex quickly rids Piper of the thong and stares are her beautiful pussy. She is so wet, Alex can see her glistening all around her core, and the smell, holy hell it is intoxicating. Alex takes a long slow lick from Piper's center all the way to her clit and back again taking in as much of Piper's delicious juices as she can. Piper is writhing underneath her bucking her hips up for more contact, breathing heavily and moaning. Alex takes Piper's clit in her mouth and sucks for a while before pushing two fingers into her dripping wet core. She continues to suck and push her fingers inside of Piper. Alex can tell Piper is close as she can feel her walls fluttering around her fingers. Alex sucks Piper's clit a bit harder and adds a third finger pushing Piper over the edge. "Oh Fuuuuuucckkkkk Alex, Oh goooooooood, Holy Shiiiittttttt!" Piper screams as her orgasm overtakes her. Alex begins kissing her way back up Piper's body with a smirk on her face. "Wow you are really bad at that," Piper stammers. "It was horrible wasn't it?" Alex laughed. "The worst," Piper whispered as she took Alex's mouth in a kiss. Piper can taste herself on Alex's mouth and that is just about the hottest thing ever. "Can I do you?" Piper asks quietly. "You don't have to ask!" Alex chuckles, "Are you ready to 'take the plunge' so to speak?" "Will you coach me through it?" Piper says shyly. "Yea," said Alex pulling her in for another kiss.

Piper rolls over on top of Alex straddling her with her knees outside Alex's hips. Piper leans over and slowly kisses Alex's mouth, allowing her tongue to explore while her hands roam to Alex's beautiful breasts. Piper has decided that she loves Alex's breasts as she softly takes one of the hard nipples in her mouth. She gets the reaction she hoped for as Alex moans softly and arches her back into Piper's mouth. This gives Piper a bit more confidence as she moves down Alex's body to her red boy shorts and slowly lifts her lover's hips to remove them. Now that the moment is here, Piper suddenly becomes very hesitant and unsure of herself. Alex notices the difference in Piper and slowly pulls her up until she is lying on top of her and they are eye to eye. "Hey Pipes…if you don't want to, that's okay, I'm in no rush," whispers Alex. Piper stares at Alex wondering what she did to deserve this wonderful woman in bed with her. "There is nothing I want to do more right now than please you…I am just afraid I won't be good at it or that you won't like it." "Piper I promise you that whatever you do will feel awesome, because it is you. Just relax and do what comes natural." Piper smiles and starts kissing a path down Alex's chest between her breasts and to her flat, toned stomach. She hears Alex's breath hitch as she gets closer and closer to the small strip of hair. Piper can see how wet and aroused Alex is. Piper takes a deep breath and slowly takes a small lick, the smell and the taste of Alex is better than she could ever have imagined. Alex's hips thrust upward at the contact, "Oh wow Pipes, yeah right there, don't stop." Piper continued licking and kissing Alex's pussy, while Alex's moans got louder and louder. Piper puts two fingers at the entrance to Alex's opening as she flicks her clit with the tip of her tongue. Piper looks up and saw pure ecstasy on Alex's face. "Open your eyes Alex," Piper whispered huskily. Alex opens her eyes and locks onto Piper's. As soon as their eyes meet, Piper pushes her long fingers into Alex's core. Piper continues sliding her fingers in and out of Alex quicker and quicker while licking her clit. Piper feels Alex's walls clench her fingers as her climax starts. "Oh my fuuuuckiiiing Gooodddd Piiiippppeerrrr! Yes! Yes! Ffuuuuccckk!" Alex shouts as the orgasm rocks through her body. Piper slowly comes up from between Alex's legs with a grin on her face, happy she was able to make Alex come. "God damn Piper, are you sure you have never done that before, because you seem like an expert to me!" said Alex in that sexy voice of hers. Piper giggled, "So it was good?" "Babe that was fucking amazing!" Piper settled in next to Alex and rested her head on her lover's shoulder. Both women are completely spent and fall asleep with their arms around each other.
