50 Shades of Vauseman

Dreams [Part 2]

Piper tosses and turns in her sleep. Gripping the dark sheets, with large beads of sweat slowly running down her forehead and neck. Her breathing increases then decreases repeatedly. Larry awakens and turns to wake Piper from her nightmare.

"Piper." Larry gently wraps his fingers around Piper's shoulder and shakes her in attempt to free her from her dream. Piper grunts and continues to toss and turn. "Piper, sweetheart. Wake up, you are having another nightmare."

Piper sits up with a jolt and quickly darts her eyes around the dark room until she meets the eyes of her fiance. Larry frowns slightly then gently pulls Piper into his lap and holds her against his chest in attempt to slow her rapid breathing.

"Your nightmares are getting worse. It's becoming more difficult to wake you," Larry says. Piper takes slow deep breaths and tries to slow her heart rate down more. "More about Alex?"

Piper grabs a tissue from next to the bed and wipes off the beads of sweat running down the back of her neck. "Sadly, yes..." Larry leans back and looks into the sad eyes of the love of his life. He strokes her hair gently with his fingertips.

"Piper, these are only dreams. You have not seen Alex in months, since you were released from Litchfield. She cannot touch you or bother you." Piper tosses out the tissue and looks at Larry with a slight look of frustration.

"My concern is not her bothering me. It is the fact I am still having sexual dreams about my ex-girlfriend, who for the most part had only used me in prison for her sexual pleasures." Piper takes Larry's hand. "She did not bother me Larry. She would fuck me. And believe it or not, she had once loved me."

Larry looked away for a moment then looked into Piper's eyes and sighs. "I suppose you're right. But my point is that Alex cannot be liable for continuing to put pressure into your life, when it is impossible for her to even do so behind bars." Larry leans back against the pillows and looks up at Piper." It is just you and me. Forever." Piper sighs softly then lays down and looks at the cieling. "I guess you're right."

At that moment, Larry softly begins to snore and Piper takes a slow deep breath and closes her eyes to only once again see the image of a naked Alex standing in the doorway of their old bedroom, signaling her to come lay down.
