The sun started to set, turning the sky a hued mixture of pinks and yellows. Inside Alison's beautiful ranch-style lake house, Emily swirled her finger around the top of her wine glass, her eyes never leaving Ali's mouth as she spoke. She daydreamed of Ali's taste on her tongue and ogled her legs, hungry for her.

"Em are you ok?" Aria asks.

"Y-yeah I'm just a little buzzed." Emily says, swaying her drink in her hand.

"I am nowhere near close enough to buzzed." Hanna says with eyes rolled.

"Figures...your tolerance must be through the roof with your nightly alcoholic adventures with Caleb." Spencer says, playfully.

"We're just having fun. Like we should be now. Drinking game?" Hanna says.

"I don't know last time we played I had to wear sunglasses for three days after." Aria says.

"I'm in, come on it'll be fun. I never?" Ali says, excitingly.

All the girls initially object, but eventually give in, much to Ali's convincing.

"Ok I'll start," Ali says.

"Never have I ever smoked weed."

"Really?" All the girls ask, a little shocked.

"Yeah really. I missed out on a good chunk of teenager, you think I had time to get stoned?"

Everyone drinks. All the girls had taken a hit at some point, Spencer with her friends after field hockey, Emily with Maya, Hanna with Caleb and Aria with some of her hipster Hollis friends.

"Actually I'm a little tired for this." Emily says, standing up. "I'm going to go to bed."

"We've barely even started," Spencer says.

"Are you ok Em?" Ali asks, concerned.

"Yeah I'm fine...I just need a shower and some fresh sheets."

"Okay, I'll meet you upstairs in a bit." Ali says.

Hanna eyes Ali as she talks, but there's not a hint of seduction in Ali's voice. She and Emily are just friends by all appearances.

Emily heads upstairs and runs herself a shower in the master bathroom. She just thinks about Alison's taste, her beautiful mouth. She wants her so badly and she has her, but she never knows when she's going to lose her. Emily lets the water run over her skin, turning the knob to the hottest setting, scalding her skin. She needs to feel something, when she isn't with Ali she feels nothing.

When Emily steps out of the shower, Ali is laying in bed, wearing the sexiest garter belt, one with thigh-high stockings.

"Where did you get that?" Emily said.

"I picked it out just for you, I thought you'd like it." Ali says, smiling while opening her legs slightly.

"I-I..wow."

Emily drops her towel and reveals her wet, naked body. She climbs on top of Ali and hovers over her, teasing her by inching closer to her lips. Ali tries to reach up and kiss her, but Emily just holds her hands above her head.

"Come on Em.."

"I have a surprise for you too. I think you're going to like it."

Ali's cheeks flushes, her heart rate increases, she can't wait, she's been waiting all day for Emily to work her beautiful magic on her. Emily starts to pull out some handcuffs from the bedside drawer and Ali smiles to herself. She didn't know Emily was into stuff like this. Just as the cuff is closing around one of Ali's wrists, there's a knock on the door.

"Ali, Em? Are you guys ok?" asks Aria.

"Yeah we're fine! We're gonna get to bed."

"Why is the door locked? Can we come in?"

"Yeah..just a sec." Emily says.

She puts the handcuffs back in the drawer and pulls on a robe. She goes over to unlock the door while Ali positions herself casually on the bed. As soon as she opens the door all 3 girls walk in, Hanna behind Aria and Spencer.

"Hanna spilled the beans." Aria says.

"Well it was bound to happen at some point." Ali says, nonchalantly.

"Ali...you're ok with this?" Emily asks.

"Sure. We should've told you guys when it happened..we just had some stuff to figure out." Ali says.

"This is crazy." says Spencer.

"We have to celebrate now." says Hanna.

"Celebrate what? That you told everyone?" says Emily.

"No. That you guys are a couple. Finally."

Emily and Ali exchange a look, a little nervous. They reluctantly agree to go downstairs. Emily's heart races, Ali wants everyone to know. This is real.

"There's some champagne in the fridge." Spencer says.

5:00 a.m.

"Em, are you asleep?"

Emily turns over, her eyes still closed. "I'm awake."

"I want to take you somewhere."

Emily sits up and yawns, stretching her arms over her head. "Okay, but where are we going?"

"Sh, just come on."

Ali takes her by the hand and leads her outside, walking through the woods.

"I set up a spot earlier."

After a five minute walk, Emily sees a small lake, much smaller in comparison to the lake bordering the house. The sun is rising in the distance and there is a light glow painting the water.

"I set up a little tent before, it was so hard to sneak out, thank God you guys were so tired."

"You did all this?"

"Em.." Ali grabs Emily's face in her hands. "I want everything with you."

This time Emily doesn't think about Ali's irresistible sexuality, the attraction isn't unbearable, she just needs her. She needs to be with her. She leans in close to kiss Ali, and Ali kisses her back with the same softness, the same sweetness.

Emily picks Ali up and brings her inside the tent, lays her down softly, pushing the hair out of her face. She plants slow kisses along her collarbone, down her chest, and places wet kisses on her stomach. Ali lifts up her hips while Emily slides down her pants.

Emily licks her folds slowly while Ali keeps her hands in Emily's hair. She moans softly while Emily eats her out with care and attention, reaching up to grab Ali's breasts in her hands. When Ali comes Emily licks her through her orgasm, and kisses her way back up to Ali's lips, kissing her jaw and her nose.

Ali reaches down between Emily's legs but Emily grabs her face. "Can you just kiss me?" She says.

Ali's eyes water a bit, she knows what this means for Emily. To be together. To be happy. They lay together, wrapped up close in the cold morning air, stuck together for warmth.

"Do you remember? Our first night together, what I said to you?"

"You said it felt like coming home." Emily says, running her thumb over Ali's cheek.

Ali places a soft kiss on her lips.

"You are home."
