You are my life

Cloud nine

(Alex's POV)

It was the morning after I proposed.
And what a morning it was.
The sun's rays were shining through our white translucent curtains, the birds were chirping and Piper was lying naked and sound asleep beside me with my Mom's diamond ring on her finger.
She was facing me in her sleep with her right hand tucked between her head and her pillow, cradling her head, and her left, newly sparkling hand was flat on our mattress. Her cute, soft little snores were all I could hear besides the birds outside and the morning New York traffic.
I couldn't help but stare.
So I prop myself up on my elbow, resting my head in my palm and lovingly watch her sleep with a smile on my face.
Perfectly content.

After watching her for a while, I couldn't help myself, I leaned over and gently pecked her on her cheek, lingering there until moving to place kisses on every part of her exposed skin I could reach.
She was mine.
And I was hers.
Always hers.
My mother's ring on her finger was the final proof of that.
I still couldn't believe it.

I wanted to reconnect with her in a way only she is allowed to do.
So I gently roll her over as I continue to gently place kisses on her and push her legs apart with mine, crawling gently on top of her and aligning our centres.
At this her eyes pop open.
"Alex?" She asks sleepily and continues,
"What're you doing?" She asks in her cute morning voice.
I go to her neck and place a string of kisses on it,
"Sssh." I tell her.
Then I begin moving which makes her gasp loudly, rendering her speechless.

Scissoring is so intimate.
So intimate that I only allow Piper to do this with me.
Because I love her.
No other fling after Piper got to do it and McCullough definitely didn't get to do it.
Piper thought shower sex was our thing and yes, while I tolerated it and even mildly enjoyed it with Pipes, I considered scissoring to be our thing because no one but her has ever managed to get me to do it.
I was hoping this would bring us closer together. As close as humanly possible. Literally and emotionally.
That was something Kubra always prided me on. My need to prove a point. If a mule fucked up, I'd be sure to let them know about it, if I wanted to outdo my competition at work, I'd make sure my shipments were the best, if I wanted to bring my girlfriend around the world with me, I'd do it, if I wanted to get my girlfriend back, I'd play the mind games with everyone I had to to do it, if someone messed with me or Pipes, like in prison, I'd make sure they knew the consequences.
Similarly, if Piper still hurt, because I knew she did, because of what I did, I would live every day trying to find ways to make it up to her.
Like I promised.

While all this was circling through my mind, I continued to move on top of Piper, still latched on to her neck like a vampire.
"Alex!" She gasps.
"Sssh Pipes. I've wanted to do this with you again, fantasised about it, for 8 years now. Now that we're officially engaged, let me live it. Let me love you like you deserve. Let me love you like I've been dreaming of doing for years now." I whisper into her ear.
Her eyes flutter closed at this as her hands come to rest on my back and her leg twists around mine, allowing me better access.
I could feel the cold metal of her ring on my back which just spurred me on even more.
We were both in ecstasy.
The feeling of our centres meeting.
The heat and our combined juices was enough to send us both into overdrive.
Enough for me to plant more hickeys on Piper even though I thought they were childish.

About halfway through, Piper wrapped her legs around my midriff and pushed herself up so we were both upright but still firmly attached to one another. Our legs entwined and our lips met.
I took advantage of this and glided my hands from her waist to her back, caressing her up and down.
Our rhythm was slow, loving.
Our clits were perfectly aligned; kissing each other just as much down there as our lips did up here.
Bliss.
Eventually, we came together and Piper breathes exhaustedly,
"I love you."
That sentiment made my heart soar.
So I smile into our kiss.
My smile was quickly turning into a grin. So much so that we had to stop kissing.
Still wrapped around Piper, I take her hands and entwine our fingers and use my weight and gravity to push her back down onto our soft mattress and fluffy pillows so her head sunk into them with a 'Whoompf' sound.
This makes her giggle, which made me smile even more.
Now that I was back to being on top of her, my grin never faltering, I sincerely say,
"I love you too."
Then I lean down again and kiss her deeply. Hoping my sentiment, my feelings for her, my love for her shone through. Putting all that I felt for her into that kiss.
Once I needed to come up for air, I didn't want to be parted from her body, from her love, so I again attached my lips to her neck and kissed up and down her elegant column, watching her close her eyes and swallow every so often. Only when her eyes were closed did I kiss under her jaw and lick the shell of her ear. I wanted her senses to be heightened. If her sight was taken, her sense of feeling would be strengthened so she could better feel my kisses, my licks, my hot breath, my love.
Then an idea popped into my head so I came to hover above her, facing her and smirking.
Her eyes open into slits when I stop.
"What?" She groggily asks.
"I'd say round two but this is round two so what do you say about round three?" I ask her, smirking and quirking an eyebrow.
She smiles and giggles, stroking up and down my tattooed bicep.
I take that as a signal to continue so I dive for her lips again.
But she turns away.
"Alex!" She giggles.
"What? I'm serious, come here." I say, going for her lips again.
This time she throws me off of her and grabs her robe.
"Al, you know I'd love to but you know what today has to be." She tells me.
Now I was alone in bed, stark naked and utterly confused.
So I frown.
"No. I really don't know what today has to be. I just proposed to you yesterday. In my eyes, today has to be all about you, me and this bed." I tell her, quirking an eyebrow at her again and rubbing the spot of mattress beside me that she'd just vacated.
She rolls her eyes and chuckles.
"Technically, I proposed to you first but since I'm now wearing a ring that isn't classed as prison contraband, I think it's time you met Bill and Carol. Hopefully Cal and his clan if they're there. I'd say Danny too but dear knows where golden boy is right now." She tells me.
The colour instantly drains from my face.
"You want me to what now?" I ask her, scared now.
Her parents hate me.
They wanted Pipes to go after... her... Zelda.
She just looks at me.
"You heard me. Now go get dressed. You're meeting the Chapmans Alex. It's what you always wanted right? You're no longer the invisible woman."
I blink in shock.
"No, I mean yes, it is, but I'm now the monstrous lesbian drug dealer who sent their angel to prison then married her and cheated on her. I'm sure I'm well up the Christmas card list Pipes." I say sarcastically.
She stares me down.
"If I can get passed that, they can try. Now get up, you're going to meet my family whether you or they like it or not."
I pout and roll out of bed.
