You are my life

Piper's 'sex dream'

(Alex's POV)

"What?" I ask her.
She looks stunned and lost in her thoughts.
"N-Nothing. It's just. When you touched me-" She stutters out.
I couldn't help but roll my eyes as my heart sinks even further.
Now I wasn't even allowed to touch her.
I had to earn that right too obviously.
It's a good thing I love the bones of her.
"Sorry. I'm not allowed to touch you. Noted." I state. Frustrated and deflated.
She shakes her head with a frown.
"No no. It's not that. It's just, last night.." She trails off.
Uh oh.
Was I busted?
Where was this going?
"...last night, we uh, I had uh." She stammers.
In an attempt to cover up what I'd done with her, well, more to her, last night, I fill in her sentence with what I knew she wasn't going to say.
"We had yet another fight and you kicked me out of the bedroom?" I ask with a challenging raised eyebrow as if to ask 'what the fuck was that about?'
"Well yes, that happened. But after that, I could've sworn we, wow." She blinks.

I had worked it out that she thought she had a sex dream of us last night and hid my smirk behind my coffee mug as I took another gulp. Eyeing her with so much amusement it nearly gave me away. Oh how very wrong she was. I wanted to hear her say it. I wanted her to admit that she thought she had a sex dream with me starring in it. I wanted to have hope that it would spur her into having conscious sex with me again.
So I feign confusion.
"What Pipes? I really don't follow."
She sighs and closes her eyes before swallowing hard and taking a deep breath.
"I may or may not have had a sex dream of us last night." She admits.
There was no way in hell I was admitting I fucked her in her sleep because I was so desperate to after so long when she told me to stay away from her for the night.
Especially since it was my fault she asked me to stay away in the first place.
I value my life.
As she explains and tells me all about what she thought went on, I listen, silently amused. The smirk I was hiding behind my coffee mug growing even bigger, knowing that what she experienced was oh so very real and oh so very good. For both of us.
Her reaction makes me even more amused and hopeful that my plan to make her cum in her sleep may be my kickstart to get her to actively and consciously have sex with me again. Sleepy sex was all well and good but loving, passionate sex with her being deliciously vocal, even hate sex, was a whole different ball game.

"Well. Now you know. Now you can make me look like even more of a fool. I can see the kick you're getting out of this Alex and on that note, I'm going to get dressed to meet Zelda for lunch." She states and walks back into the bedroom.
That wiped the smirk off my face instantly.
Following her, I dash past her and run for the closet. I picked out the least sexy outfit I could muster up and laid it out for her on the bed.
"There you go babe. All ready to meet Zelda." I 'innocently' smile.
She just looks at me.
"I know what you're doing." She says.
Again, I feign innocence.
"What? I'm just trying to help you get ready. Gain back some brownie points in the 'good wife' department."
She puts back the shirt and shoes but keeps the pants and replaces them with a cute substitute. I couldn't hide my frown.
As she swaps the items she says,
"Well in that case, you better take the word 'back' out of that sentence because in the 'good wife' department, you gained no brownie points whatsoever and the ones you did gain you forfeited when you decided it was a brilliant idea to cheat on me."
She gives me the side eye.
All I can do is flop down onto the bed and look at the floor.
Piper was running into the arms of Zelda again and what was worse, we'd just had another fight and I'm pretty sure there were many more to come.
I didn't want this to happen.
I wouldn't let it.
I wouldn't let us part again on bad terms.
For once we were parting ways on good terms.
Even if just a little.
So once she was dressed I grabbed her face before she could complain and kissed her soundly on the lips. Stroking her cheek and tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear, I smile and say,
"Have a good lunch with Zelda babe. I'll be here waiting for you."
She smiles and nods before grabbing her purse and coat.
"I will and you better be."
She shuts the door behind her and I was once again left alone with my thoughts of the fact that Zelda was trying to ensnare Piper.
