Chapter Ten

We had a very interesting review on our last chapter asking about the BDSM lifestyle and whether that meant that Olivia wouldn't go down on Alex anymore because she was "the Top", and also if they couldn't just make love anymore since they were in a D/s relationship. We hope this chapter answers your questions, dear! It was planned that way before you left your review, but we were even more determined to write it this way after we read it.

As Alex settled face first onto the bed, lying on her stomach to give the marks on her back, legs, and behind a chance to breathe, Olivia ducked into their bathroom to grab a few things for the ADA's aftercare. A quick check of Alex's naked flesh revealed that she hadn't broken the skin, only marked it as usual, and she allowed herself a moment of relief and pride at the well-satisfied, exhausted woman's appearance. It also meant she wouldn't have to bandage the injuries, and she was glad that she didn't need to use the peroxide and cotton balls she had brought out just in case. That was one advantage to using a crop. Olivia had never liked dealing with blood, and was grateful that Alex felt similarly.

"Hey, sexy," Alex said as Olivia shuttled back and forth between the bathroom and the bedroom, bringing a few things each time and then going back for something she had forgotten. "Why so far away?"

Olivia grinned, coming back with yet another wet washcloth, which she draped over the back of Alex's neck. The attorney hissed with pleasure when the cold, damp cloth touched her. She continued to make low, groaning sounds as Olivia massaged some balm into her sore shoulders and down her back, rubbing away the tension of their session and covering the marks on her ass and the backs of her thighs. The balm was tingly, hot and cold at the same time, but it took the edge off of the throb that pulsed beneath her skin.

When Alex started drifting into a half-meditative state, Olivia nudged one of her arms and offered her something else. The lawyer smiled when she saw that Olivia had brought her tooth brush, her favorite toothpaste already dabbed on the bristles, and two Dixie cups, one with water, and one without. It was sweet of Olivia to remember how much she hated going to bed without brushing her teeth, and she was too tired to make it to the sink and back again after what her body had been put through. Propping herself up on her side and trying to keep the slick, balm-coated skin of her back from wiping all over the sheets before it had a chance to soak in, Alex brushed, rinsed, and spit, feeling much better afterwards. She opened and closed her jaw several times, working out any remaining stiffness from the ball gag. "Thank you," she mumbled as she rolled back onto her stomach and buried her face in Olivia's pillow at the head of the bed, taking comfort in the familiar scent.

"You are very welcome. Close your eyes and rest for a second, I'll be right back." Olivia made one last trip to the bathroom to take back the things she had brought out for Alex's aftercare. This time, when she re-entered the bedroom, she turned out all the lights and snuggled in bed beside her lover. As soon as Alex had her within arms reach, she clung to Olivia like a barnacle, draping an arm over Olivia's flat, tanned stomach and resting her head against the detective's shoulder, just above her breasts. She let out a happy sigh and closed her eyes, smiling contentedly.

Olivia, however, was not content. The brunette could sense how tired Alex was, but she kept thinking about the missed opportunity she had passed up just a few minutes ago. She felt very close to Alex at the moment, and although they had already worn each other out and tested their boundaries, she craved even more emotional connection with her lover. She had desperately wanted to continue pleasing Alex with her mouth back on the couch, but the detective had been concerned that over-stimulation would hurt her.

Olivia shifted to her side, resting her head on her hand and allowing the other to roam freely over the attorney's back, caressing over and between the fading red marks that she had made earlier. She felt Alex's gaze on her, and glanced down into the attorney's startlingly clear blue eyes.

"I love you," the blonde said, her voice half-lost in the pillow.

Olivia gave her a small smile, bending over and pressing a kiss onto the back of her shoulder. "I love you, too," she said, pushing a stray strand of blonde hair behind Alex's ear. She struggled, attempting to find the words that would reflect her emotions, her need to be closer to her girlfriend, but Alex raised her head, her eyes holding concern.

"Liv," she said, running a hand over the detective's muscled arm. "I love our scenes. I love that I can give myself like that to you. You trust me to let you know when I'm feeling uncomfortable, but that didn't happen once tonight, okay?"

Olivia nodded, but she that wasn't what had prompted her sudden silence. Rather, she simply wanted to be with her girlfriend, without roles, without rules, and without expectations. She let her hand move up to Alex's neck, kneading it gently, prompting a relaxed sigh from the attorney, and she moved onto her knees, focusing her attention on massaging the rest of the blonde's back.

"That feels good," Alex murmured into her pillow, although as the detective's hands moved across the swell of her backside and down her legs, she couldn't help but part her thighs as a sudden pang of pleasure shot through her. She wasn't surprised by her body's quick recovery. The brunette's touch normally sent her spiraling, even after a scene.

The movement wasn't lost on Olivia, but she didn't want to rush her attention to the body beneath her, and instead focused on stimulating the muscles that twitched under her hands. As she worked her way back up, then down again, she let her touch concentrate on Alex's upper thighs, noticing the slight writhe of the attorney's hips as she delved closer to her center.

"You wanna know my favorite thing about making love to you?" Olivia asked gently as she continued to massage the backs of Alex's legs.

"Sure," the attorney purred, her eyes drifting shut as her hips began a subtle movement.

"Just knowing that I'm making you feel good. I love all the soft little sounds you make when I stroke in just the right spot... Discovering what coaxes them out of you is one of my favorite pastimes." So saying, she let her fingers skim along the edges of Alex's outer lips, only just grazing the skin there before retreating back to the safer, but still sensitive, territory of her thighs.

Alex groaned. "You know exactly how to touch me. Before you, it was never like this." The ADA's physical relationships with previous partners had been standard, and that was putting it nicely. Then again, Alex had always been somewhat standoffish towards them, and so maybe it wasn't entirely their fault that she had not responded as passionately as she did to Olivia. Or maybe her heart and body had just been waiting for the right person to awaken them. But right now, she wanted that wonderful woman to stop teasing her. Suspecting that Olivia needed a more explicit invitation so that she could stop worrying about overtaxing Alex's body, she decided to help the detective along.

"I haven't forgotten the lesson that you decide when, where, and how to touch me, but... just in case it interests you, I very much want you to keep doing what you're doing."

That was all Olivia needed. She let her fingers dip between Alex's legs, skimming over her wetness as her lips began a hot trail down the attorney's body. Although she was a little tempted, she didn't leave any fresh marks, figuring that the lawyer's body had already been thoroughly marked and claimed as hers. Any more would just be overkill.

As Olivia's mouth drifted down her body, Alex let herself relax into the mattress and close her eyes the rest of the way. She did not try to rush Olivia's touch, content to savor the slow burn. This time would be much softer than their earlier scene, but no less intense in its own way. She could guess what Olivia's end-goal was, and although she objected until her face turned blue in court sometimes, she had absolutely no objection to having Olivia's skilled mouth on her. Since Olivia's kisses were trailing lower faster than usual, she had a feeling that her lover was slightly impatient and wouldn't leave her hanging for long.

The feel of Olivia's mouth against the backs of her thighs made her moan softly into her pillow, a sound which she knew would demonstrate that she was more than ready for her girlfriend to take her touch to the next level. Instead, she let out a small whimper of defeat as she felt Olivia raise herself onto her knees.

"Let me slide this under you, love," the detective said softly, and Alex sighed pleasurably as a pillow was placed just beneath her hips, raising them comfortably and also giving the brunette unbridled access to her center. The attorney had been more than ready to flip over, the fading pain in her back the last thing on her mind as Olivia's hands and lips traced her skin, but it seemed the detective was most concerned about her comfort.

She felt the capable hands slide over her back, but instead of the path that Olivia had been taking down the sides of her hips, she felt a finger gently trace her folds, testing her wetness. The brunette couldn't help but let out a small sigh of pleasure as she saw that her girlfriend was more than ready for her. As much as she enjoyed teasing Alex with her fingertips, making the attorney's hips cant backwards just so, seeking more of her touch, what she really wanted most of all was to use her mouth and taste Alex's sweetness. And that was exactly what she planned to do.

Again, Olivia thought about having Alex flip over, but the ADA looked so comfortable that she decided not to disturb her. She could please her this way with only slightly more effort. "I want to taste you," she purred, squeezing two handfuls of Alex's behind and parting her thighs even further. The attorney whimpered. "I hope that's what you want, too."

"Yesss..." Alex hissed, her exhaustion being replaced by a slower, softer, but no less intense need as Olivia's teeth nipped her shoulder from behind. The grazing bites were not painful, but they trailed down her back, occasionally skimming over the marks from the crop they had used earlier and making her groan. When Olivia sank her teeth into one full cheek and held on for a moment, Alex let out a startled, slightly pained laugh, and then a moan as her lover's tongue bathed the poor area. Fortunately, Olivia didn't seem to want to hurt her anymore. She just wanted to awaken all the sensations in Alex's body, and then bring her insurmountable pleasure.

Olivia's face drew even with Alex's heat, and she took a moment to breathe in her lover's scent. Alex wasn't the first woman Olivia had been with by any means, and the detective had enjoyed oral sex well enough with her other bedmates, although she tended to gravitate towards the giving end because of the incredible amount of trust it took for her to receive pleasure that way, but there was something about Alex that intoxicated her. She would probably spend hours with her head between Alex's legs if the ADA let her. Now that she had the opportunity, she wasn't going to rush through it.

"Please, don't tease me," Alex breathed huskily, knowing that the mere thought of Olivia's tongue and lips on her was pushing her closer and closer to the edge, but wanting her lover to take her there.

Olivia smiled and pressed a few butterfly kisses to Alex's inner thigh. "I guess you've suffered enough for one night," she said, diving in with a firm swipe of her tongue, spreading Alex's folds and searching for more wetness and warmth.

Alex couldn't help but buck her hips at the first strike of the detective's tongue, but she quickly relaxed into the touch, spreading her legs wider. She felt Olivia plunge deeper inside of her, circling her core, which only served to stiffen the bundle of nerves at her center. As if her girlfriend could read her body better than she could, Olivia pressed her tongue at the overly sensitive clitoris, not wanting to stimulate it too much after their session, but knowing that it was in desperate need of some attention.

The ADA hissed at the initial contact, but Olivia's warm tongue soothed her immediately, and Alex couldn't hold back a light moan of pleasure. Her girlfriend had taken her request seriously, and rather than tease her with a simple flick of her tongue, she pressed against the sensitive bud with just the right amount of pressure. Alex felt her wetness increase, her core begging for the detective's fingers.

Olivia let her hands continue their gentle touch over Alex's hips, tracing the curve of her backside and up her spine, deliberately avoiding the blonde's needy core, and instead enjoying the intimacy that using her tongue allowed. Alex's scent, her taste, her warmth was all that the brunette craved, and she was content to drink her lover in. Her tongue left the hardened but of Alex's clit and plunged once more into her hot, wet channel. Although she knew the attorney was more likely to come while Olivia was tending to her sensitive bundle of nerves, she wanted to spread the pleasure around as much as possible for both of them.

"Liv, please..." Alex begged again, knowing that they were no longer in a scene. This was just the two of them, Olivia loving her in the most intimate of ways, and she craved more. She wanted to feel her detective's fingers inside her, gently coaxing her over the edge as that wicked tongue lashed the tip of her clit.

Olivia couldn't really respond since her tongue was still coaxing sounds of pleasure from deep within Alex's throat. She did manage an "mmm..." of contentment as she dragged her tongue from the base of Alex's entrance all the way up to her swollen bud, covering as much ground as possible with each swipe. She made sure to gather up Alex's wetness as she went, savoring the taste. Right now, in this moment, it was everything she had ever wanted and more. The woman she loved, twitching under her tongue, so responsive to every flick, each deep suck and swirl.

However, she couldn't resist Alex's pleading, or her own desires, for long. She enjoyed letting Alex hang on the edge, but she could tell that the poor blonde was tired and needed some relief before she went out of her mind. Her body had already been teased and tortured enough for one night. Gently, Olivia wrapped her lips back around the tight, hard little bundle that would send Alex spiraling over the edge in a free-fall. Instead of clutching the sheets, Alex's fingers clutched at the back of Olivia's head, holding her in place as her hips rocked wildly against the pressure of the detective's tongue. Somehow, Olivia managed to move with her, refusing to let go when her lover was so close.

"Oh, Liv!" Olivia absolutely loved it when Alex screamed her name, especially when she was coming. And then, Alex said the only thing she possibly loved more. It was a close call. "Love you..." Hearing that short but powerful phrase only made Olivia work harder, but still soft enough to be gentle as she carefully tipped her lover over into bliss.

The attorney buried her head into her pillow, muffling her moans as her orgasm pulsed through her, and it was as if Olivia could feel every sensation that coursed through her girlfriend's body. She only removed her mouth once Alex's shudders had subsided, but let her tongue run soothingly along her slit before sliding back up to nip at the hollow of her back.

"God, Liv, you have no idea what you do to me," Alex mumbled, her head still sunk into her pillow.

"Oh, I think I might," the detective replied, placing kiss on a prominent shoulder bone before finally resting next to the blonde.

Alex turned her head to meet Olivia's loving smile, and the two lay in silence for a few moments, their shared gaze speaking more than any words ever could. The attorney reached out her hand and laced her fingers through Olivia's, enjoying the simple touch.

Olivia lifted Alex's fingers to her mouth, kissing each knuckle in succession. "I'm yours," she said.

The words, which were normally whispered, screamed, or moaned by Alex during the middle of a scene, stirred something inside of the attorney and she smiled, inching closer to her girlfriend and resting her head on her chest, content just to be near her.

The End
