No Ordinary Love (High Rise Novella Three) (7 page)

With the side of her hands she rubbed along Alex’s spine, causing her to groan underneath her. Had she really expected to fall asleep with Maddie all over her? From the bottom of Alex’s back, Maddie made her way back up again, kneading the muscles she encountered as expertly as she could. She repeated the process until Alex alternated between purring and gasping for air. Then she zoned in on Alex’s behind.

Alex’s shoulders were Maddie’s favourite body part to feast her eyes on, but she couldn’t get enough of stroking that perfect behind, immaculately shaped from hours spent on the spin bike.
 

Maddie pressed her thumbs deep into the muscles of Alex’s bum, starting on the sides, but soon drifting more towards the middle, tapering down to that delicious curve where the bottom meets the thigh.

Maddie was so floored by the sensual image of Alex’s behind covered in glistening oil she had to clear her throat before she could speak. “Spread your legs for me, babe.”
 

Despite the limpness of her body, Alex immediately obliged.

Before allowing her hands to slip between Alex’s upper thighs, Maddie spent some time on Alex’s legs, alternating kneading motions with a light scratching of her nails over Alex’s skin, which had turned completely to gooseflesh. She pushed herself up on all fours and hovered over Alex. Her nipples traced lines in the lotion clinging to the skin of Alex’s back. Maddie pulled herself up until her mouth was at Alex’s ear.

“Do you want me to stop?” Maddie smiled at the reference to their first date, the one this evening was supposed to be a replay of. In reality, tonight’s events couldn’t be further removed from the first evening they’d spent in her flat, innocently flirting and kissing.

“God no.” Alex’s breath hitched and her reply came out as a lustful whisper.

Maddie slithered her body back down and let one nipple explore between the cheeks of Alex’s behind until she had enough of guiding her nipples over Alex’s skin. It was time for her hands to take over again.

She positioned herself next to Alex, leaning on one elbow, her breasts pushing into Alex’s side. Slowly, she inched her fingers over Alex’s buttocks down between her legs. A small wet spot had already formed on the sheet beneath Alex’s pink glistening pussy. With the tip of her index finger, Maddie sampled the degree of wetness pooling between Alex’s upper thighs. Maddie couldn’t recall her ever being this moist and she became acutely aware of a throbbing sensation between her own legs. Although she had planned to pleasure Alex while she lazily half-snoozed on her belly, she was suddenly overcome by an unstoppable desire to see Alex’s face.

“Can you turn over, please?” Maddie didn’t wait for Alex’s reply and snaked a hand under her belly, while the other pushed on her hipbone.

Alex didn’t need much coaxing. The earlier signs of sheer exhaustion on her face had been replaced by eyes glinting with lust and lips parted with want. Maddie once more had her beliefs confirmed that there was only one cure for a vile hangover and she was administering it right now.

As soon as Alex had spun on her back, she pulled Maddie into her for a long, deep kiss. She buried her hands in Maddie’s hair and locked her elbows behind her neck as if never wanting to let go of her again.
 

Maddie let her lips wander over to Alex’s ear. “I need to have you now.” Alex replied with a nod of her chin against Maddie’s neck.

Trailing her lips down over Alex’s breasts, briefly stopping to nip at the rock hard buds of her nipples, Maddie found what she was looking for. Alex’s pussy lips shimmering with wetness and puffy with desire. She locked eyes with Alex, who had thrown her arms upwards and arched her back, her naked breasts protruding and her stiff nipples piercing the air. Gazing into the blackness of Alex’s glassy stare, she traced a finger along her inner thighs before circling it around the rim of Alex’s entrance.
 

Alex responded by arching her back further and pushing herself closer to Maddie’s hand. She moved one arm from the pillow to where Maddie’s other hand dug into the mattress to keep her balance, and curled her fingers around Maddie’s wrist.

Maddie’s finger entered and Alex blinked her eyes shut for the instant it took Maddie to go deep. Maddie retracted and immediately added another finger, sliding through Alex’s wetness. She looked at her fingers as they slicked in and out of Alex, flesh against flesh, wetness pooling everywhere, the sound of skin meeting Alex’s moistness mingling with her low-pitched groans.

Maddie needed to be closer. Without interrupting the motion of her hand, and the rhythm that seemed to be bringing Alex to a climax in record time, she pushed herself up until her face was at the same height as Alex’s.

“You are so gorgeous. So sexy. So everything,” she said into Alex’s half-open mouth, her words barely audible over Alex’s shrieks.

Alex wrapped her hands around Maddie’s neck and pulled her in for a kiss. She pushed her tongue deep into Maddie’s mouth, grunting and groaning while meeting the thrusts of Maddie’s fingers with her pelvis.

Maddie couldn’t recall having ever seen Alex lose herself so much. She was just a body now, a body filled with love and lust and a need for Maddie so great she, at last, lost all sense of decorum. At least that’s what it felt like to Maddie and it made her so hot, made her want Alex so much more, she couldn’t stop herself from rubbing her clit against Alex’s muscly thigh.

“Oh yes,” Alex moaned and shoved her entire body into Maddie’s fingers, staying suspended in the air while her orgasm trembled through her flesh. “Oh god, yes.” She fell back into the mattress with a deep sigh.

Maddie felt possessed with need. She couldn’t wait until gentle pleasantries and post-orgasmic kisses had been exchanged. She needed Alex inside her now. She pushed herself up and straddled Alex’s slender form. She took hold of Alex’s right hand and brought it to her aching pussy.

“Fuck me, babe. I…” Maddie couldn’t finish her sentence because Alex had already entered her.

Maddie met Alex halfway and bucked down on her while her hands rested alongside Alex’s face, her eyes staring down at the woman who made her feel things with an abandon completely foreign to her.

The climax creeping up on Maddie was one born from pure need. It wasn’t a slow build. It wasn’t the result of a string of sensual movements colliding into an inevitable explosion inside her. It was Alex taking her, claiming her as hers again. It was the physical expression of their new beginning. It was love and it was need and it was heaven.

Maddie panted heavily through the waves crashing into her from everywhere. From Alex’s eyes looking up at her and Alex’s left hand scratching her back and Alex’s right hand filling her with everything she had. Sweat dripped out of Alex’s hair and it was so quintessentially her, muscles rippling under her skin while sweat trickled along, shoulders broad and curls dancing around her face.

“I love you,” she groaned as she crashed down on Alex’s supple body, the orgasm momentarily incapacitating her.
 

“And I love you,” Alex said. She slid her fingers out of Maddie gently and held her in her arms for long heavenly minutes, maybe hours. Maddie couldn’t be sure. Time seemed to have stopped and frozen them in that moment of perfect unification. It was just them against the rest of the world: predatory exes and overcrowded cities, ruthless bankers and too much work, problematic pasts and scorned lovers. It was just them and it was how it was meant to be.

ALEX

Alex woke before Maddie and stared at the sleeping form beside her while her stomach rumbled. She’d missed all meals the day before. Then again, that hadn’t even been the most unusual part of the day.

Despite their similarities in looks and certain common personality traits, Maddie slept differently than Rita. She allowed her mouth to drop open slightly and she liked to edge towards the middle of the bed, whereas Rita seemed controlled even in dreams. Even when sleeping she looked as if playing a part in a commercial for Egyptian cotton sheets, her hair tied up neatly and a black silk mask covering her eyes. Towards the end of their affair, she let Alex spoon her, but only for the first ten minutes of the night. Then she shook her off, claiming she was too warm or she couldn’t breathe, depending on how dramatic she felt.

Maddie lay on her back, her straight blond hair splayed all over the pillow, the duvet only covering her body from the waist down. Alex hoisted herself up on one elbow and let a hand drift over Maddie’s chest. Her breasts were bigger than Rita’s. Alex had noticed them the first time she’d met Maddie in body combat class, when she’d made the group do jumping jacks for thirty seconds to raise their heartbeat. The bigger chested women always stood out in moments like that. She smiled at the memory.

Alex hadn’t suffered many hangovers in her life, but yesterday’s had been epic. To wake up without that relentless thud in her temples and that queasy feeling in her stomach seemed like a miracle, but here she was, feeling more than fine.

“Please tell me it’s Sunday.” Maddie opened her eyes and arched her back while stretching out her limbs.

Alex nodded while letting her drifting hand disappear under the covers. She traced two fingers over Maddie’s lower abdomen.

“Does this morning assault on my privates mean we’re back together?” Maddie caught Alex’s fingers in her palm and held her gaze.

“If you’ll still have me now that you know I’m damaged goods.” Alex held her breath.

“As if that was ever up to me.” Maddie pushed Alex’s hand down into her pubic hair. “And anyway, I’ll still want you when your spectacular abs have turned to flab and your hair has gone grey.”

Maddie was right. The choice had been up to Alex and she had chosen.

“How dare you suggest I’ll someday live without a six pack. I might as well be dead.” Alex dipped one finger between Maddie’s legs and wondered if the woman was ever not wet and ready to go when she was in her company.

“Music to my ears, babe.” Maddie’s voice shifted to ragged whispers as Alex started circling a finger around her clit. She threw her head back into the pillows and let go of Alex’s hand. “Let me feel them.”

Maddie brought her hand to Alex’s belly and scratched her skin lightly before digging her nails in. In reaction, Alex pushed a finger inside Maddie.

“Mmm,” Maddie moaned and snuck her hand up to Alex’s chest until it cupped her breast.

Alex moved her finger and being inside Maddie moistened her thighs. Heat pulsed between her legs. It wasn’t enough anymore to just feel Maddie’s hand on her breast. She needed more. As if she had to make up for fleeing.

Slowly, she let her finger slip out of Maddie. She kissed Maddie below the belly button before pushing herself up, twisting on her knees until her back faced Maddie, and spread her legs to straddle her.

Alex had barely found her balance when she felt Maddie’s nails dig into the skin of her behind.

“Sunday brunch,” Maddie said, “my favourite meal of the week.”

Alex bent her elbows and crouched down over Maddie’s sex. Before she had a chance to even plant a kiss on it, she felt Maddie’s lips on her, sucking her into her mouth. Alex returned the favour. Her tongue trailed over Maddie’s upside-down pussy, a film of Maddie’s wetness clinging to her chin.

Maddie didn’t waste any time inserting a finger inside of Alex, which made it hard for Alex to focus on her own activities. It was never easy to be in charge in Maddie’s bed. One trait she definitely had in common with Rita. Alex wouldn’t want it any other way. Maddie’s finger twisted deep from the start and Alex bucked her hips back, wanting to take in as much of Maddie as she could.

Alex curved her arms over Maddie’s thighs so her hands had free reign over Maddie’s pussy. With one hand she exposed Maddie’s clit. The other one she positioned at the entrance of Maddie’s pussy. While her tongue danced over Maddie’s clit, Alex slid two fingers inside of Maddie.

Tasting and feeling Maddie the way she was doing, so intimate and intoxicating, while Maddie was doing the exact same thing to her, was a potent stimulant. Alex felt heat gather between her legs and she moaned into Maddie’s pussy as she licked her clit.

She felt herself soar to climactic heights within seconds, Maddie’s wetness in her face and her fingers in her pussy. Maddie was using just fingers now and they felt full and lush inside of Alex.
 

Alex thrust down harder and tried not to lose her focus, letting her fingers disappear into Maddie and lavishing the attention of her tongue on Maddie’s clit.

Maddie’s other hand sailed to Alex’s abs, her nails digging deep into Alex’s muscles again. It was enough to set Alex off. She halted her movements while Maddie’s fingers dug deep. The exquisite pain of Maddie’s fingernails on her abs blended with the contractions of her pussy walls around the fingers of Maddie’s other hand. Alex’s mouth was on Maddie’s pussy lips, but she was too lost in the moment to do anything. She just groaned and squirmed and let the release wash over her.

Maddie knew Alex’s body well enough by now and finished her off with three deep thrusts before retracting her fingers and brushing the back of her other hand tenderly over Alex’s belly.

“Oh fuck,” Alex sighed, her body lying spent and spread-eagled across Maddie’s.

Maddie tapped her bottom playfully. “Hop off, Lothario.”

“But I haven’t fin—”

“We’ll take care of that in a minute. Not that it isn’t a pleasure to look at, but I’d rather see your face right now instead of your behind.”

A blush creeping along her cheeks, Alex crawled off Maddie, turned around, and crashed down next to her.

Maddie gathered Alex in her arms. “I like the way you think,” she whispered in Alex’s ear.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t hold it any longer.” Alex buried her face in Maddie’s hair.

“It’s funny how your stamina in bed is exactly the opposite of your stamina in class.”

“It’s hardly a matter of endurance. It’s you. You so easily reduce me to a puddle of wetness and want. I take no responsibility for it.”

“I wouldn’t want you to.” Maddie slipped out from under Alex’s grasp and looked down at her. “I’m flattered I have such an effect on you.”
