Before she even opened her eyes, Piper felt hands on her. On her breast, sliding down her stomach, on her hips. She was laying on her side, Alex against her back. She could feel lips in her hair, her warm breath trailing down the back of her neck. She shifted further back into her embrace, suggestively rolling her hips and feeling Alex smile into her hair.
"Well, good morning..." She said, her voice low and throaty. Pipers stomach fluttered and she reached down, rubbing her hand down the top of Alex's thigh.
"Mmm... good morning." Piper turned her face and kissed the part of Alex's arm her head had been resting on.
She could tell by the amount of natural light filling the room that the sun had been up for a while, but she didn't hear the TV going in the background.
"Where's Nicky and Bree?" She she said it, she stretched, enjoying the sweet tension in her stiff muscles. She could always tell when she'd slept hard, her muscles sore the next morning from being in the same position all night.
"They left a bit ago to go get coffee and breakfast. They said they were tired of the breakfast downstairs. Something about fake bacon..." Alex laughed, kissing the back of Piper's neck.
"So... we're alone?" Piper asked, smiling even though she knew Alex couldn't see her.
No longer than she'd had the words out of her mouth, Alex grabbed her and rolled her over. Alex raised up on one elbow, the other arm snaking around Pipers waist, pulling her body against hers. She wrapped her fingers in Alex's hair and pulled her mouth down, sealing it with hers.
She missed her mouth. She missed her tongue.
They'd been close, so close last night. The first time they'd been alone together since they'd escaped, in the stairwell. But just as soon as she'd felt Alex's lips on her stomach, working their way down, one of the other doors in the stairway had opened. They'd jumped up, startled, and scrambled out, throwing on clothes and running down the hallway like a couple of busted teenagers, laughing and giggling all the way to the elevator. Just as they'd made it to the door, the young girl that worked the front desk came around the corner, stirring the cup of coffee that steamed in her hands. She smiled sheepishly at the two of them, her eyes pausing a second longer on Alex. The bell dinged and the elevator door slid open, and Piper walked in, leaning against the far wall. Once the door was safely closed, she smiled and shook her head. Alex looked at her questioningly.
"I used to hate that... so much"
"Hate what?" Alex was genuinely confused.
"The way she just looked at you. The way they all look at you. It drove me crazy."
"And why's that?" The amusement was evident in her voice
"Because you were mine. And it was the same way that I looked at you. Like I was in a constant state of awe because you were absolutely beautiful, so I would just sit there and wait for the next brilliant thing to fall out of your mouth." She looked down at her mouth as she said it.
"That is probably..." Alex started, her arms encircling Piper before she continued. "The sappiest thing I've ever heard you say." She laughed and Piper's cheeks flushed a light pink.
"You thank I gotta purdy mouth?" She raised her eyebrows as she exaggerated a thick, Southern draw.
Piper laughed and elbowed her playfully. "Well, if I remember correctly, you used to be able to do some pretty amazing things with it."
"Used to, huh?" she smirked, her mouth inching closer.
Piper snapped back to the present, feeling Alex's lips make their way down her throat. Piper slid her hands up the front of Alex's shirt, smoothing them across her belly.
She loved the feel of her skin, that was something she could never see herself getting tired of. She pushed herself up and moved to where she was over Alex, one knee on either side of her legs. She grabbed the hem of her shirt, getting Alex to lean up as she pulled it over her head and tossed it to the floor.
Her lips were on hers in an instant, the soft but demanding feeling of her tongue against hers making her head spin. Alex pulled Piper's shirt up and off in one quick motion, then rolled to where she was over Piper, her hips resting in the V of her thighs. Piper rolled her hips up against her and felt a noise deep in her throat. She dragged her nails down Alex's back as she wrapped her legs around her.
She felt Alex shift to support herself on one arm, the other one sliding down between them. Her hand slid down, over her ribs. Her tummy. She felt it work its way down between them, then down under the band of her underwear.
Piper broke their kiss, stifling a moan into the side of Alex's neck as she slowly slid one finger into her.
In a flash, Alex was off of her, fighting to pull the covers up over them. Piper was trying to get her mouth to form a protest, confused at what was going on.
"Wh..." she started, just as the door to the room opened. Bree and Nicky walked in and paused to look over at them. Seeing their flushed faces and wild hair, it didn't take much imagination to realize what they'd walked in on.
"By all means," Nicky Laughed. "Don't stop just on account of us." Bree walked over and sat the tray of coffees on the table.
Alex let out an exasperated sigh and rubbed her eyes.
"Could you have any worse timing?"
Piper laid there and stared at the ceiling. Her heart was still pounding and she was trying to calm her breathing. She took a deep steadying breath, feeling her muscles throb. Her body had never craved someone the way it did Alex. It was a feeling that she'd completely forgotten until that day in the chapel. A feeling so alien, but so familiar.
Alex leaned down and kissed her softly on the forehead. "Soon..." She said, so quietly that Piper wondered if she'd actually heard it. She reached up and touched her face before she turned and climbed out of bed, walking over and claiming her coffee.

"So Charlie said that he'll be here around 11 tonight to pick us up. He said that we're gonna lay in Greensboro for a few days until he can get a few days off of work to bring us to the next stop. Apparently he knows some people there who will be able to keep an extra eye out for us, since the feds are starting to spread out more." They'd heard on the news at lunch that, though they still hadn't recieved any fruitful leads on the pursuit, they were still investigating a few anonymous tips.
Piper wondered briefly whether any of those anonymous tips were from Larry. She shook her head, clearing out the ridiculous thoughts.
Larry would never do that. She could see him doing a lot of things out of anger, but turning her into the FBI was not one of them.
"They dont have the balls to tell the public that they have no fucking clue where we are. Thats why they cant specify a single state. They're still running around like a bunch of ants, trying to pick up a trail." Bree laughed as they crossed the street.
