A/N: Yes, I suck at updating. Yes, it's a short chapter. Yes, I temporarily lost my muse. No, I'm not done with this story yet.
Olivia woke in a haze, her lower half oddly warm and a less than satisfied feeling between her legs. The faint memories of trying to get off to images of Alex made her blush deep as she groaned uncomfortably, rolling over onto her back. As she did, her side came into contact with something firm yet soft.
Confused, Olivia blinked back her sleep only to see a head of blonde hair next to her, the woman sleeping peacefully. When the hell did Alex wind up in her bed? A soft sigh and sluggish movements pulled the detective's attention away from her thoughts only to refocus on Alex when she felt a warm hand land on her thigh. Her bare thigh.
She tensed up, trying to remember what exactly she did last night. She remembered getting off to Alex, saying her name, cleaning up, unlocking the door, and—sighing in relief—she remembered putting on underwear. She shifted slightly, in an attempt to dislodge Alex's hand from her thigh but hardly moved before she heard a soft groan coming from the woman next to her.
Alex yawned as her body stretched out comfortably, rousing from her pleasant slumber. She blinked away the sleep from her eyes and smiled at Olivia as she rubbed her eyes. "Morning," Alex murmured, yawning once more before smiling at the brunette. She smirked as she watched Olivia shift further underneath the covers. "Are you going to just stay hidden underneath the sheets or are you going to tell me why you aren't wearing any pants?"
Olivia was surprised at the blonde's bluntness, raising both eyebrows at her. "You going to tell me why you're in my bed?"
Alex grinned as she shifted upright and leaned against the headboard. "Touché." She raised her arms into the air and entangled her fingers, stretching out as far as she could as she pushed her chest forward. Olivia watched the blonde intently, glancing down just long enough to see a strip of bare skin being revealed from her shirt riding up.
Olivia pursed her lips as she watched Alex for a few more seconds before pushing herself up as well so that she was leaning against the headboard next to the blonde. "Tell me something, Alex." The blonde dropped her arms to her side and raised an eyebrow, waiting to be prompted. "How did you end up spending an evening with Langan?"
Alex laughed abruptly, clearly not expecting that to be the first question from Olivia. "Uh, we've know each other since law school, unfortunately. We kind of have an unspoken rule that we'll always take each other to social events unless we actually have a significant other to bring."
"Oooh, and here I thought you had a secret boyfriend that you've been hiding from me!"
Alex playfully rolled her eyes at the brunette. "No secret boyfriend, I thought we already went over that. Although finding you without pants…that's certainly a first. Did you sneak someone in here while I was passed out from my intoxicated state?"
"So you do remember being drunk." Olivia smirked. "Do you remember Langan trying to put the moves on you?"
Alex grimaced in response as she shivered slightly. "Didn't we go over that last night?"
Olivia raised an eyebrow, not expecting the blonde to remember. She hummed softly in response as she pretended to remember their conversation from the night before. "I distinctly remember you telling me that you like them tall, dark, and handsome."
The blonde smirked as she bit her lip, tugging on it ever so slightly as she glanced down. The detective wondered how it was possible for someone to look so damn sexy with just a simple act. "I believe I added in curvy." Blue eyes flashed back up almost hesitantly, meeting Olivia's gaze.
Olivia blinked in surprise before clearing her throat as subtly as she could. "Yeah, uh, that one threw me off," She replied as she glanced down at her lap.
"Oh?" Alex questioned, the hum in her voice almost playful. "I know you're a much better detective than that, Olivia." A hand on Olivia's bare thigh surprised her more so than the feeling of the sheets sliding down her skin as Alex pushed it down a few inches.
"Yeah…" Soft fingertips trailed up and down her thigh in teasing strokes.
Alex smirked as she moved her other hand across Olivia's chest and to the cheek furthest away from her. Without any effort, she gracefully cupped the detective's cheek and guided her face toward her own. Olivia's eyes flashed open in surprise as warm, smooth lips pressed up against hers, melding into her own as if they had always belonged there.
The kiss quickly transitioned from chaste to far from it when Olivia closed her eyes and responded to the mouth pressed up against her own. Somehow she managed to regain feeling in her limbs, just long enough to reach up to grab onto the back of Alex's head, pulling her in deeper as she opened up her mouth to the blonde. Olivia was taken off guard by Alex's bluntness, especially when she pushed her tongue forward, swiping it across Olivia's lower lip.
What felt like mere seconds later, Alex pulled away a few inches, just enough so that as she opened up her eyes slowly, she could only see tanned skin in front of her. "Still confused?" She whispered as she glanced down at Olivia's parted lips, wondering if she could get away with kissing them until they were swollen.
"No," Was all Olivia managed to mutter as she watched Alex slide off of the bed and toward the door. The blonde paused as she grabbed onto the knob.
"Maybe next time I can actually be present when you're calling out my name in the heat of the moment." Alex smirked as she watched the detective's cheeks quickly become covered in a deep blush.
Olivia opened and closed her mouth a few times, unsure of what to say as she watched Alex walk out of the room. The only thing she could think of in that moment was how much she wanted to kiss Alex again, push her up against the nearest wall and finally relieve all the tension lingering in her body. She bit her lip, surprised at the taste of mint that was still lingering there from their kiss.
