You are my life

You're mine

(Piper's POV)

As soon as I'd said yes, Alex picked me up and swung me around happily, grinning from ear to ear.
"Woah!" I squeal as she kisses me deeply over and over again.
Everyone around us claps and cheers as I wrap my legs around her.
When we were finished, Alex summons the waiter and asks for our check.
"Excuse me, could we get the check? I just proposed and she just said yes so we need to go celebrate a bit more." She tells him and winks at me as she talks about more celebrations.
I know what she's talking about because I know Alex.

The waiter wisely hurries back with the check and a smirking Alex entwines her fingers with mine and literally drags me at full speed out of the restaurant.
She hails a cab almost immediately and once we're both in, she attacks my lips and only stops when the cab driver asks sarcastically,
"I hate to interrupt this beautiful moment but where to ladies?"
Alex flashes him a dangerous glare as if him interrupting was his final act on earth.
"Gramercy Park. And make it quick." She growls at him then purrs at me,
"We've got an engagement to properly celebrate."
She then goes back to literally eating my face off, so much so that I was firmly pressed into the leather of the backseat.

We kiss the whole way home and once we get there, Alex throws bills in his direction and pulls me out of the cab. We giggle and kiss the whole way up to our apartment and once we get there, she presses me up against our door before we even get in and smiles,
"I really, really love you Pipes."
"I really, really love you too Al." I smile back.
She grins and kisses me again, unlocking our door as she does so and we stumble into our apartment.

Our kisses weren't quick and short, they were long, lingering yet soft and tender kisses.
Alex caresses me as she reaches behind me to unzip my dress and slowly pulls down the zipper as I slide my hands under her blazer and slide it off. It falls to the ground, silent and forgotten, like my dress.
We were slowly making our way to the bedroom as Alex guided me and we knew we'd gotten there when the back of my knees hit our bed and I fell back and she fell forward on top of me. Finally breaking our kiss.
At our surprise, we giggle briefly then have this tender moment when we both just stare into each other's eyes. My hair was now all over the place so Alex used her left hand to tuck it behind my ear as she lay on top of me.
Our eyes were speaking unspoken apologies and words of love and forever until we slowly kiss again, Alex slowly asking for entry into my mouth which I allow.
As we kiss, I get to work on her blouse, unbuttoning it as she hurriedly shrugs it off which just left her pants.
As if she read my thoughts, she reaches between us and unzips them which allows me to use my feet to push them down and off.
Our underwear quickly follows.

We haven't had proper skin to skin contact since Piscatella interrupted us in the shower back at Litchfield camp and even that was too brief. We hadn't felt skin to skin contact like this with each other in 10 years and I'd forgotten just how perfectly her body fit with mine like a puzzle piece.
We both gasped as soon as we felt the other.
Both of us clearly relishing in it.
"It's been over 10 years since we've had proper skin to skin contact and God babe, it feels so fucking good to feel you against me again." Alex breathes to me, her face millimetres from mine as she hovers above me, her black mane of hair falling like a curtain around my face.
That needed no response.
We go back to deeply and lovingly kissing each other as Alex slides her hand down between us.
I gasp when she gets there and starts rubbing tiny yet accurate circles over my clit with her thumb.
She was softly kissing me through this and caressing me with her freehand but only made our kiss deeper when she went deeper with her fingers, muffling my scream.
Then she encouraged me to entrap her with my legs so my feet were pressed against the back of her thighs, forcing her to go even deeper.
Only then did she start to slowly rock her body to give the hand she had inside of me a slow piston movement as my feet rubbed up and down the back of her legs, my hands caressing her back.
All that could be heard were her grunts, my muffled screams of pleasure and our kisses.
And we stayed like this, making love in the dark. All night. Until we were both exhausted.

We'd just finished but were in the middle of our afterglow, still kissing and Alex still on top of me with my right hand stroking and cupping her cheek. I break our kiss and hold out my left hand.
Admiring the new addition.
Alex follows my line of sight and smiles.
"Al, it's beautiful." I whisper wondrously.
Still smiling, Alex says,
"It belonged to my Mom. She was gifted it by a rich old lady that she used to look after. The lady gave it to her in her will when she died. Her and my Mom were close so she couldn't part with it. Then, when Mom died, she left it to me in her will with very clear instructions to propose to you with it one day and here we are. I believe my Mom's words were 'I love Piper, in fact, I choose her as my daughter-in-law.' Then she went on to talk about if by the time she died and you still weren't wearing it, she'd come back from the dead to kick my ass." She chuckles.
I was taken aback.
Alex had this this whole time?
Continuing to stroke her cheek as a way of asking her to look at me, I tell her,
"You're my pea and you're back in my pod, we're in the same garden again Alex and we won't be separated again. Just you and me in our own little pod."
I then go back to dreamily gaze at my new engagement ring that Alex placed there mere hours ago.
Alex smiles again when she sees then holds my ring clad hand and brings it to her mouth, kissing it.
"I love the sound of that. And I can't tell you how happy I am that you're my pea and we'll be in the same pod for life now Pipes, no more beans to come and ruin it for us, just us in our own little pod in the same garden." She smiles even brighter and kisses me again.
After a short while I break it again though.
"Good. Because there's no more room left in this pod of ours. I'll starfish out if I have to."
Alex laughs warmly then smiles and replies,
"Well its a good thing we don't need or want any more room then, you starfish away babe."
