Covered in Kisses

By FaeCym

The best part was when Alex pulled her in to the storage room. Their friends were enjoying a Christmas breakfast prepared by Pete and Cal. Piper's face hurt from all the smiling. Her hand was numb. Alex clung to her as family hugged her. She pulled her back while everyone stared at how cut Finn was trying to pass out plates of cake.

"I know you said you didn't want to ever make love in a closet, but I really just want a-" Alex began. Piper didn't let her finish. She devoured her mouth. This fantastic, tall, sexy woman that has all of her love and given her the gift of a Christmas wedding.

Piper pushed her against the door and brought her hands up and in to her hair, pulling back to look her in the eye. " I fucking love you Alex Vause," she said as she pressed their foreheads together.

"Oh, good...I take it you didn't feel pressured in to the wedding because I sprung it on you," Alex stammered. Piper was thrilled to hear the thick timbre of her voice. She knew that sound meant Alex was very turned on.

"Hush. You do recall I asked you? Oh baby, I married you in that prison under our tree. We just kept letting life rip us apart," Piper kissed her again and smiled on her lips right before she pulled back to murmur, " Though the fact you were sneaky, used our friends and made this a legal wedding just means our life will never be boring." Alex laughed and pulled her in for a hug. She turned, as she always did and kissed her neck. Delightfully, Piper shivered.

"Hey, Chapman...you're married now and there isn't a guard looking to give you a shot..you can kiss your wife in the store. C'mon you two, your mother wants pictures and I can't hold her off for much longer without my normal foul mouth snark," Nicky pleaded through the door.

This moment, the room...Nicky on the other side and the fact she called her, "your wife" made Piper laugh with happiness.

"My wife.." Piper said. Alex's face lit up and then she turned and jerked the door open. They both pulled Nicky in to their embrace. At the same time both told her how awesome she was and thanked her for being their friend.

"AWWWW Nah...no way..oh man, fuck it-" she said as she gave in and hugged them back. They all heard a squeal and looked over to see Lorna snapping pictures on her iPhone.

Nicky pulled herself away slowly looking at her girlfriend with a steely glance. " Give me those pictures Morello. You're supposed to always be on my side-" She said as she approached Lorna like she was a wild animal. Piper knew they were seconds away from darting after each other. It made her giggle. Sure enough Lorna ran out and up the stairs with Nicky on her heels. Piper her mother gasp and Poussey shout, "Run Morello!"

They walked out hand in hand. Alex told Piper that they would drive to Connecticut as planned...then they were going on a honeymoon. She gave Piper a blank ticket and told her to take a few days to think about where she wanted to go and to surprise her. She was a lucky girl.

Piper posed with Alex and her aunt. Her wife was stiff but her aunt seemed to be genuinely happy for them. Roger was treating her to a few days in the city and Piper knew Alex was worried about the expense. Yet she was a gift and Roger would hear none of her requests to put up her aunt. Piper saw Alex talking with her aunt alone by the door. It seemed intense and they hugged. She knew Alex would tell her about it. Maybe tonight in bed...she wished for the first time they were staying there. Yet, the fact they were keeping to her plans was sort of sweet. She barely had time to go up and change in to the comfortable outfit that Polly laid out for her. She was assured their clothing would be dry cleaned and hung back safely in their closet. She hugged her friend for a long while before they walked back down to her family. It was all crazy as they headed to the car.

Alex rented a town car to drive. She wanted Piper's dad to be comfortable. Cal and Neri would be joining them soon and their friends promised to put the shop back right. They all agreed not to open the door until noon on the 26th due to a storm that was coming. Poussey was going to stay up in the workshop and help Taystee out. Piper felt like they were cherished and cared for by her friends. The whole event was even more special because they had a support group. Earlier in their life together, they traveled with a select group of people. Yet, they were all around Alex for the business. Either the money or the partying she provided. This group of people; these amazing people- are a mixture of family and friends that love them because they are good friends right back.

She made it out of the city before she realized how much Piper's mom was going to comment on the route she took, the rate she drove and generally make a nuisance of herself in the back seat. Alex just kept smiling.

Finally Piper turned around, "Mom, this day has been the most amazing day of my life. Please..don't be a backseat driver. Just relax and put your ear buds in- Dad got that book you were reading on iTunes and he even loaded it to the chapter you just finished." She pointed to the iPad beside her. Piper's father lifted the ear bud to her ear and leaned over to share. She smiled and Piper had to swallow the emotion that got lodged in her throat. She couldn't remember her parents looking at one another like that...maybe when they were little, before her father made full professor. Alex took her hand and squeezed it.

"I still can't believe we're married. Best Christmas Ever Al...and fitting for our first official Christmas Day together. I don't count Litchfield because we weren't together!" Piper pointed out in a hushed tone. Alex ran her finger over Piper's rings as she drove.

"It was the absolute best Christmas ever...and every Christmas for the rest of my life, I'll marry you all over. I'll pledge to work harder to make the next year even better. We're still going to work on us...on communicating...on the ghosts that we knew. I just want you to know I choose you Piper. I choose you like I should have chosen you all those years ago," Alex said in a quiet voice. Piper smiled and darted her startling beautiful blue eyes at her wife.

"I can't wait to snuggle with you tonight," Piper said back after a few moments. Alex grinned and asked them if they go the master bedroom. Piper said that they did...her dad asked to have their regular room and since it wasn't as far down the hall, she thought it was a good idea. She didn't give Alex a tour when they visited last...actually she had just walked in to the kitchen and out the back after discovering...

She didn't want to think about that today. Today it was okay to push all the crap down and focus on her happiness. This was what Alex wanted and she was going to oblige. Her mother only spoke up two more times and once it did actually help Alex take the right exit. Piper was lost looking at her ring and nearly missed it. Her father was already asleep and her mom was being extra quiet because of it. She was ready to get there though. It was always a long trip on Christmas day.

She took the exit and it wasn't long until Piper saw the signs for Danbury. This route, one that took them by Danbury on the way to Bristol, wasn't the one she would have taken, but the best for the weather. Alex squeezed her hand as they saw the first sign. Piper tried not to think about what was running through Alex's mind as she raced to stop Piper from confronting the pig that raped her.

"Are you okay?" Piper asked in a quiet tone. Alex nodded.

"I don't know how you go in to the prisons to talk. Do you have any scheduled for this year?" Alex asked out of the blue.

"Um yeah actually, I'm doing a reading at Danbury in February, I think. It is for publicity for one of our programs to help recently released mothers get parenting classes. There will be people from a few other non-profits that will be with us to see if they wish to donate," Piper explained. Alex clutched the steering wheel and watched the road in silence as they drove for a mile or two.

Finally Piper asked, "Is...does that bother you?" She bit her lip and squeezed Alex's hand harder.

"Yes. I know you've been in it before. I know you've been in one in California as well. I just didn't know about those so...I mean you aren't going to get hurt there...they can't hurt you, right because there will be people with you and cameras..." Alex reasoned out loud and it broke Piper's heart. She knew Alex was telling herself all of this and the fact she had to tell herself that meant she was really scared.

"Oh yeah, I'm totally okay. I mean I get panicky when the gate closes and, you know how they have those sets of doors...where you walk through one locked metal door and then have to wait on the other to open before you step in to the area where they check you?" Piper clarified, hoping details would distract her from the idea that Piper willingly walked back in to prisons.

"I didn't see that area, but I can guess what you mean. I hated that no matter where we went...when we had to wait on a gate to open, made me feel like livestock," Alex said with a shiver.

"That always freaks me out. The first time I had to sit down right afterwards. Eva was there and she was freaking, wanted to cancel the reading and the show. I told her that the prisoners had been looking forward to it and I couldn't do that to them," Piper recalled with a smile.

"I'm surprised they let you do readings considering your stance on sentencing. You aren't the Bureau of Prison's best friend," Alex retorted.

Piper laughed, "True but I have a good PR person and I am edited heavily as to what I can read. Usually, they asked for the bit about getting my radio. This reading is about the mom's day thing as the focus is this program. I've been vocal and will be even more vocal about moving 1500 women to another facility. I'll slip that in there as it seems to be a done deal with the BOP," she said with a sigh. They spoke about it more as they drove and eventually, they pulled up in her Grandmother's driveway. She guessed they should consider it her house now, but it will always be her gram's place.

The snow was coming down and she was happy when Cal called saying he was just fifteen minutes behind them. They entered through the garage and Piper used the Porcupine boot cleaner at the door. Alex grinned at her in a way that let her know she would tease her about it later. Piper couldn't wait. The dinner was in the kitchen, all boxed up on the counter. Steve had been by and left a note wishing them all a Merry Christmas. He and his uncle were supposed to come by the next day for lunch. He has stocked the refrigerator for them. His lack of congratulations in the note was telling. He had also brought in a Christmas tree and put it in the corner where it always went. Her mother had Piper go out and fetch a tub from the trunk of the car. She had no clue they had put it in the back. Her mom opened it and their family ornaments-minus the few she had given Piper already- were all there. She entered the kitchen as Alex finished cleaning up and saw her reading Steve's note.

"So you didn't tell Steve so he could ride up and be at the wedding?" Piper teased as she got her dad a bottle of water.

"No I didn't invite Eva either. Anyone in love with you was left off the list," Alex said with a grin. Piper started to deny it but Alex kissed her soundly first. After Cal arrived, they set the table and enjoyed a wonderful feast. Cal cut the ham because their dad was a bit tired. Piper tried not to worry that the trip might have been too much for him. It had been an exciting day.

They took another hour to decorate the tree. Her father mainly watched but he really seemed to enjoy watching her and Cal fight over who made the father's rock ornament. After they finished, she was finally able to take her wife to bed. She made sure the sheets were clean and everyone had towels before joining her wife in the bedroom. She was nervous and it seemed silly.

"I'm nervous," she announced at the door.

"Me too...I've never made love to my wife before," Alex murmured. She then opened her arms and Piper ran into her arms. She kissed her and pulled at her shirt. Alex was equally fervent and between the two of them they managed to get each shirt off. Piper was struggling with her bra hook while Alex unhooked hers with ease.

Piper growled. " I can't stand how damn good you are at that," she said on her wife's lips. Alex could only smirk back and shrug her shoulders.

"I was seducing girls in the locker room while you were deciding whether or not to let your boyfriend go to second base," Alex said. She kissed down Piper's front and it made her stomach jump. Alex unbuttoned her jeans and pushed them down slowly. Piper started to move her hips in small circles and was rewarded with a groan from her woman. When they were first together, Alex would have never made such a sound. It was need filled and sexy. She was always in control back then. This Alex, this mature Alex, knew how very much Piper enjoyed hearing her desperate sounds.

"Fuck baby, I love it when you make that sound, "Piper breathed out as she pulled her up and pushed Alex back on the bed. She fell and smiled up. Piper reached for Alex's jeans and unbuttoned them. She pulled Alex by her knees closer to the edge of the bed and yanked her pants down. They were both so turned on it was hard to breathe. Alex had on her favorite pair of black lace panties. She couldn't refuse bending down and taking them in her teeth...she drug her mouth down her wife's mound and with a little help from Alex lifting her hips, she pulled them off of her. Piper fell to her knees and dove right in to the river that ran between Alex's thighs.

She moaned and twisted so that Piper knew she could send her over with just a few flicks. Yet she teased and kissed everywhere but the spot she craved. She could only do this a few minutes before Alex tried to pull her up and down on top of her.

"No, I'm going to cover you in kisses Alex Vause for giving me the best moments of my life. A thousand kisses for every day of bliss," she told her in a thick voice. She then kissed her stomach and down her inner thighs again.

"C...cover me later, right now I need your fingers...inside..me ...now," she whimpered out and Piper gave in to her pleading. She pressed her wet sex to Alex's thigh as she climbed up her lover to perch on the edge of the bed. Feeling her flesh press against her hot need was almost her undoing. Piper had to catch her breath for a moment before she looked her wife in the eyes and thrust two fingers inside her deep.

She saw the mult-colored masterpiece of her lover's eyes as they both slipped together into ecstasy. Piper realized at that moment that only she got to see that look for the rest of their lives. This sent her into another orgasm where she growled out the word " Mine!" as the pleasure shook her body.

Alex pulled her up in to her embrace and somehow they were able to cuddle up under the blankets. Alex stroked her back until she calmed and kissed her face all over once her breathing returned to normal.

"Thank you for marrying me, " she said quietly in Piper's ear as she started to drift off to sleep.

"Ditto, kiddo," she murmured back before the succumbed to the night and the heaven of her spouse's arms.
