Chapter 3: Pester

Alex slept most of the plane ride, the sort of heavy sleep she rarely did, her head resting on Casey's shoulder, waking only slightly whenever Casey moved or stood to go to the bathroom. It was only during their short stop over that she woke, groggy, trying to remember where she was and why she was sitting on an almost empty plane.

Casey smiled, stroking her face and patting her hand. "We'll be there soon," she said, dog-earring her book and placing it in her lap. "Remember you arranged a trip for my birthday?"

"Mmm, sorry. Last time I woke up on a plane, I was off to start a new life as Emily."

Casey smiled sadly. "You had to for your protection," she said squeezing her hand, "but now you're back in your real skin. Alex Cabot, Defender of the People, my hot, beautiful, sexy girlfriend," she kissed her cheek, "whom I've loved more with every day we've spent together. I love you so much!"

Alex smiled, kissing her cheek. "Just wait until you see the place I've booked. You'll love me ever more."

Casey pulled her close. "I can't wait."

Alex made a face at her as a loud man approached, talking to the flight attendant. "Is this row- Alex! Casey!"

"Yes?" Casey asked.

Mark appeared behind the flight attendant, a smile on his face. "What are you two doing here? Together! I thought you were going to see your parents, Casey!"

Casey looked down at her hands, blushing. "Uh..." She looked sideways at Alex, squeezing her hand and biting her lip.

Alex was furious. She had booked this holiday to get away from this man and here he was, no doubt so proud of himself that he had managed to find them and- "We are on holiday. Together. Liz is aware of the fact. We just didn't see the point of spreading the information by telling the office gossip."

Casey leaned her head on Alex's shoulder. "Sorry," she whispered to Alex, "didn't know what to say." Then she looked at Mark, her voice normal-toned. "So, you see, I really have no interest in you. Professionally or personally," she said, coldly as she cleared her throat.

His smile didn't falter as he sat down next to Casey, waving the flight attendant away. "Where are you guys going? I have the most amazing apartment booked at this resort just off the beach."

Casey gave him a cold glare, holding Alex's hand tightly. "I don't believe it's any of your business."

Alex stood, pushing past them both. "Excuse me. I need to go to the bathroom. I'm suddenly feeling very sick."

Casey patted her hand as she went by. "Need me to come hold your hair?" she asked, wanting to get as far away from him as possible, but if Alex wanted to be alone, she wouldn't have a problem with that.

Alex didn't reply and simply stormed to the bathroom.

In there, she sat fuming. She remembered now that she'd left the brochure for the place she'd booked on her desk in case Casey decided there was something she really wanted to take with her that Alex wouldn't have thought to pack.

If Casey had never seen the note that lay on top of the brochure, Mark must have taken it, and seen the brochure. A week of holiday ruined!

Casey huffed. "You just couldn't leave me alone, could you? Had to try to mess everything up, didn't you? I don't care who you are or what you do. This trip is Alex's gift to me and you will not ruin it!" she said, getting up and walking back to the bathroom.

Alex kicked the basin, then swore when the tap let out a splurt of water, hitting her bare legs. Reaching out, she angrily yanked out some paper towel and blotted the water.

Casey knocked. "Alex? Are you ok?"

Alex sighed and splashed her face with water, trying to calm down, before pulling the door open. "Fine."

Casey wrapped an arm around her. "Yeah, me too, but it'll be better," she said as they walked back to their seats.

Mark had moved to Alex's seat by the window. She took a deep breath to try and calm herself once more before sitting down, choosing the seat between him and Casey, keeping a hold of her hand the whole time.

Casey switched hands so one was holding hers while her other was around her shoulder. "Don't worry," she said, "he's just being an ass because I gave my heart to you and not him."

"Hope you guys packed something warm, just checked the weather forecast and it looks like it's going to be raining and cold when we get there. They are in the middle of a big storm!" Mark smiled at them.

Alex did her seatbelt up with such force she almost ripped the other end of it out.

Casey patted her hand, bringing Alex's head to rest on her shoulder. "It won't be much of a problem," she replied, then whispered in her ear, "I've got all the entertainment I need," she said, stroking her cheek.

By the time they reached their destination, the storm was in full force. Despite them trying to get away from him, Mark always seemed right behind them.

Casey held Alex's hand tightly as they made their way into the place. Walking up to the counter, Alex rang the bell. A middle-aged woman walked out from the backroom with a smile. "Yes, may I help you?"

"Hi. Ah, we have a suite book under the name of Cabot."

"And a room booked under the name of Johns!" Mark piped up from behind them.

She entered the name into the computer. "Ah yes, Cabot. One of our luxury suites, with a mini bar and Jacuzzi," she said with a smile, pulling a key out with a spade on it and placing it on the counter. "Top floor. Room 615," she said with a smile. "Please let us know if there's anything we can do for you. Our bellman will follow you up."

She hit the bell again and a young boy appeared. "Yes?"

"Alec, please take these two ladies' luggage up to their room for them. Room 615."

He nodded.

Inside the room was like something from Casey's dreams. In fact, she vaguely remembered telling Alex something about loving the old fashioned elegance with huge beds and long draping curtains. Alex smiled as she watched Casey walk around with a dreamy smile on her face.

Casey smiled, turning toward her as the door was closed. "All this…for us?"

Alex nodded. "Do you like it?"

She walked over, hugging her tightly, resting her head against her shoulder with a happy sigh. "Yes. I love it! How did you get it?"

"A few favors. Finn knows someone who knows someone who once knew someone who did something ...or something."

Casey dragged her over and laid in the middle of the king-size bed. "So, any plans? Other than sleeping off jetlag?"

"Calling a hit man to get rid of your boyfriend?" Alex straddled her, sitting there, unbuttoning the redhead's damp blouse.

Casey smiled, resting her hands behind her head. "What's the number? I'll call." She said, moaning as Alex's fingers caressed her bare skin under her blouse. "Or maybe we can convince him to leave by rough sex? What do you think?" she asked, sitting up as Alex discarded her shirt, kissing her bare shoulder.

"Somehow I think he might enjoy listening to that." Alex sighed.

"So? Ooh, I know, I know! I could keep moaning your name every ten seconds? Every five? Every..."

Alex leaned into her.

"Alex, I'm just trying to make you feel better," she said, wrapping her arms around her. "What do you want to do? Lex...Lex...Lex..." she called into her ear breathily, nipping her lobe. "I love you."

"I love you too...even with your stalker."

She sighed. "Yeah, but please! I can't stand being this close to you without—" She felt every spot Alex had caressed become warm.

Alex smiled, holding Casey's hands so she couldn't touch her. "Without?"

Her eyes were glazed over. "L-Lex, I don't want to be without you anymore. I don't care if sex is directly involved or not, but I need to be touched anywhere and everywhere. Three years...is more than enough time. Please, I want everything that's within me to be yours. I love you, no one else!"

"Not tonight." Alex kissed her hands.

She pouted. "Why? And why am I shirtless again? Or did my speech reach deaf ears?"

"Because your shirt was wet and I don't want you to get sick. And I've waited for you, so now you can wait for me."

She raised a brow. "Oh well...that makes sense actually, but," she kept her arms around her, "please can we sit like this for a bit? I just...I want you here."

"What, here? Or here?" Alex, still holding her hands so she couldn't touch her, moved closer, so their naked torsos touched.

She blushed at the warmth. "Here, stay here," she said as she shivered a bit. "Warm me up. Alex, why here, I know we both wanted to get away from him - which we can't seem to do - but did you have a specific reason for this destination or did you just want to see how good I look in a bikini?"

Alex smiled, kissing her gently. "Both. You'll just have to wait and see. Please, let's not talk about him."

She nodded. "Let go and I'll never let you go."

Alex kissed her once before sitting up. "Stay here a minute and close your eyes."

"Can I sit against the comfy pillows?"

Alex nodded, standing up and staying still until she was sitting up with her eyes closed.

She sighed, smiling. "All right."

A few minutes later, Jacuzzi warm and bikini on, Alex came back out. "Open."

Her mouth dropped. "Wow, and I thought you couldn't look better than you did last year in that thong and topless..." She walked over, raising a hand, inches away from brushing Alex's red bikini. "Can I, pretty please?" she begged, mesmerized by how the fabric hugged her curves but emphasized her breasts and toned abdomen.

"I'm all yours."

She smiled, running her hands over Alex's stomach, feeling her tighten her muscles with every stroke. Soon she reached her hand around and seconds later, her bra fell to the floor. She pulled Alex close, loving the feel of their skin colliding even more than she already did. "You packed mine, didn't you?" she asked in a whisper. "That is your intention right now, to get me in the water?"

Alex swallowed, trying to focus on the plans she'd made. "It's in the blue suitcase. I'll be in the Jacuzzi." Suddenly the warmth of her body on Casey's was gone, and her hips swayed gently as she walked from the room.

Casey smiled, opening the suitcase and going into the bathroom. Ten minutes later, she emerged in a striking deep purple string bikini. From the doorway, she struck a pose, knowing Alex could see her. She smiled walking over with a sway in her hips as she stepped down and sat.

There was champagne chilling next to the tub, and Alex sipped from a glass as her eyes travelled slowly over Casey's body.

Casey smiled, resting a hand on her shoulder. "What do you think?" she asked, motioning for a glass, which Alex - more than happily - handed her, filled with bubbly liquid.

"I think you should wear a bikini more often. Like always. At home, anyway."

She took a sip and set the glass on the floor. "Yeah? What would I say if someone showed up wanting a warrant? Hmm?"

"Somehow I don't think they'd care what you said." Alex moved closer, dropping a kiss to Casey's shoulder.

"Mmm, well...y-you wouldn't anyway."

Alex pushed her hair out of the way to kiss her neck, suddenly not caring about the plans she'd made for a romantic first time the next day.

Casey wrapped her arms around her, trying to keep her there. "Wh-what ab-about..." she was cut off by a moan as Alex sucked on the spot.

"What about what?" Alex asked breathlessly, her hands sliding around Casey's back to undo the tie that held her top together.

Casey moaned, feeling the string come undone. "Y-you said not tonight... I don't mean to complain, but if, by chance, you had something special planned, Alex...I'll wait if you want or you can forget your plans and I can have the best night before my birthday. But you know how much of a romantic I am..."

Alex's mouth was an inch away from her nipple, her breath tickling it, her lips almost brushing it as she sighed and moved away.

Casey took Alex's face in her hands. "Are you sure? You...didn't have to stop. I was just making a point."

"Right now...I really, really want to...but I've wanted to just the same so many times before, I'm sure I can last one more night. As long as you tie that top up again."

Casey smiled, leaning against her and tying it again before wrapping her arms around her. "I know. Every day could be our last. I know the feeling. But I can promise you that I'll sleep beside you every night even when nothing happens. I just...love being around you. You're so warm and gentle around me. And I love you so much for taking me here. I can't wait for tomorrow night..."

Alex rested her head on Casey's shoulder, jumping when the lights suddenly went out. In the pitch black of the room, all they could hear was each other's breathing and the storm roaring outside.

Casey shivered as the warmth of the water seemed to decrease. "Lex, do you want to get out? I'm a little chilly, suddenly."

Alex nodded against her. "I'll get dressed, go down and see if they have a generator that's going to come on, or if they have candles or something." They stood, carefully climbing from the tub with only the small amount of light coming in through the windows. Slipping a little, Alex grabbed onto Casey, and giggled a little when her face landed in between her breasts. "Ah...oops. Hello."

Casey smiled. "Hi, lose something?" she said, giggling as they made their way over to the bed. Alex grabbed two towels and walked back out, handing one to her. In the darkness, Casey stripped her bikini and donned a pair of sweatpants and a shirt. She grabbed Alex's hand. "Do...you have to go?"

"I don't. But I'd prefer to be able to see you. You can always come with me."

Casey nodded. "Okay, but for both our sakes, will you at least throw something on over that or change...on case we run into the 'idiot who shalln't be named'?"

Alex pouted but changed, throwing her bikini to land on Casey as she did so, her perfume still clinging to it and sending Casey's senses wild.

Casey groaned, forcing herself to stay focused. "God Lex, your perfume!"

A moment later, Alex's lips were on hers. "You bought it for me. Come on."
