Now Alex was the one who was frowning. “You didn’t?”
Elizabeth reached forward and took both of Alex’s hands in hers. “Alex, of course not. I would never do that. I love you so much more than I love my job. Please, never doubt that. Yes, my work is very important to me, but you’re more important.”
Alex’s lower lip trembled. “Then why did you do it?”
“Because I could never live with myself if something happened to you. Alex, you almost died defending me. If I hadn’t left you, it would have put you in the line of fire, right between me and the man trying to kill me. I couldn’t let that happen.”
“That’s really it? That’s really why you left?”
“Of course it is. Nothing else would have pried me away from you.”
“So, what changed?”
“I nearly died tonight,” Elizabeth admitted. “It made me realize a few things. I don’t want to live without you, Alex, and I can’t just stop living because my work makes things dangerous for me. But… if it’s not something you’re willing to risk, I’d leave it all behind for you. I can find another job, something that won’t have people after me. The man who was after me is in custody now, but there will likely be others. I can walk away—”
“No, Lizzy. I would never ask that of you. The work you do is important and necessary. It’s worth every bit of risk. I love you, too, Lizzy, and I want to be with you. I would never ask you to sacrifice your goals. I want you to achieve everything you’ve ever dreamed of.”
“And I want you,” Elizabeth said quietly.
“You have me, always. Just promise that the next time something scares you, you’ll come to me rather than running away.”
“I promise. I’ve learned my lesson the hard way, Alex. I’m not going anywhere.”
This time, when they kissed, Alex didn’t pull away. They kissed until they were dizzy and kissed some more. Elizabeth led her tongue slide easily into Alex’s mouth and it felt like coming home.
Alex moaned softly into the kiss. Elizabeth had forgotten how much she’d missed those little moans, and how much she loved drawing them from Alex. Elizabeth’s body was thrumming with need, and she was all too aware that it had been weeks since they had made love and the same amount of time since her last orgasm.
It wasn’t like she hadn’t tried to get herself off, but every time she had attempted masturbation, it had just made her unbearably sad, remembering how good things had been with Alex. Sadness inevitably trumped desire, leaving her upset and frustrated. Eventually, she had stopped trying.
“Fuck, Alex, I need you. So badly, baby.”
“Need you as well,” Alex murmured between kisses. She reached a hand down between Elizabeth’s legs, slipping under her nightie and wriggling under her panties. When Alex’s fingers brushed across her clit, Elizabeth cried out and arched up into the touch, sure she was going to come just from that.
“Yes, yes, yes,” she chanted, grabbing Alex’s wrist and urging her to use a firmer pressure.
“Needy, aren’t you?” Alex smirked.
“I haven’t come in weeks, you’d be needy too,” Elizabeth snapped.
Alex raised an eyebrow. “Weeks, huh? Since we were last together?”
“Yeah,” Elizabeth admitted. “I just couldn’t…”
Alex kissed her again, soft and tender. “I’m here, now. Let me take care of you.”
“Yes, please,” Elizabeth breathed. She squirmed out of the panties and spread her legs. They would probably be more comfortable in bed, but she didn’t think she’d make it that far.
Alex didn’t waste any time. She moved between her legs and gave Elizabeth a long lick, starting at her pussy and moving up to her clit, flicking her tongue over the hood in a way that had Elizabeth losing her grip on reality.
Elizabeth’s felt tension quickly rising as Alex kept licking her, driving her closer and closer to the edge.
“Just like that, Alex,” she murmured. “Yes, just like that… YES, ALEX, YES!” Elizabeth came so hard she saw stars, convulsing on Alex’s tongue as Alex licked her through her orgasm.
She was vaguely aware of a rather large wet spot on the couch as she came down, but she was too high from her orgasm to care.
Alex was still breathing hard, her pupils blown wide with lust.
“Bedroom,” Elizabeth panted. She wanted to make Alex feel as good as Alex had made her feel, and she wanted it right now.
