Sometimes, Alex pays the nanny to stay at either Black Elm or the apartment in town with Edie so that she can get stoned. She gets stoned because it takes the edge off, and it stops her being tempted by other, worse things. Tonight, she's at Black Elm, stretched out on the sofa in the sunroom with the french windows open to the night, her weed pen between her fingers. Her phone buzzes between her tits. It's a text from Lee, asking if she's busy.

sure. You want to get stoned and make out? I'll show you my ballroom.

She sends him a pin for Black Elm's location and a selfie.

Lee quirks a brow at the message and then smiles, pleased by how direct she is. He opens the photo and bites his lip, already rolling off of his couch to grab his shoes.

If I ever say no to that question, put me in the ground, he sends back, grabbing his keys and leaving his apartment. Be there soon.

Lee pulls up directions to the pin on his phone, marveling all over again at how easy it is. Better than looking at paper maps all the goddamn time.

It turns out that Alex lives in the middle of nowhere, in a place so bizarre that Lee stops and stares at it through his windshield, letting his truck idle at the end of the drive.

You live in a fucking mansion?

[takecourage]

Did you think ballroom was a euphemism??

Grinning, Alex gets up and pads to the door -- not the kitchen door, which is how she usually comes and goes -- but the front door, which is wooden and twice as tall as she is. She hauls it open, and stands leaning with her hip against the cool stone, waiting for Lee to get out of his truck.

"It's a long and shitty story," she says. "But I grew up in kind of a shit hole in the Valley if that makes you feel better?"

[atehimrightup]

Lee pulls closer once he sees Alex in the doorway, parking his truck and hopping out. It’s a balmy night and for a moment Lee is distracted by so much bare skin.

“I mean, kind of? To both questions,” he says with a laugh, hopping up onto the porch and leaning in to press a kiss to her cheek, then moving his mouth to her ear. “I’ll show you my ballroom.”

[takecourage]

"Kind of thought that was reserved for your boyfriend," says Alex, tousling her fingers into his hair. "You want the full tour? Or just a beer?" She steps back, offering him her weed pen. "Mi casa, su casa -- except it's kind of my kid's dad's casa, but he's not here, sooooo..."

She turns and walks away from Lee into the house proper. The door opens into the great room, complete with long leather sofa and huge fireplace, and a sweeping staircase leading up into the dark.

[atehimrightup]

“He’s not my boyfriend,” Lee says almost automatically, only to realize that he’s not really sure that’s true anymore. The thought makes him feel a small bit of panic that only shows on his face as a slightly furrowed brow. “Shut up.”

When she holds out her pen, he takes from her hand and takes a very long pull from it, all the way until the light blinks.

“You just hit me with a lot of shit all at once,” Lee says in a pinched voice, holding the smoke in his lungs and then turning his head to exhale. “Who’s not here? The kid or the dad? You have a kid?”

All that, and still dancing around his head: is George my fucking boyfriend?

[takecourage]

"Neither? Both? Edie's with her overnight sitter at the apartment in town -- I work shitty hours -- and my ex has been gone from about a year. From Darrow. We didn't split up."

She perches on the back of the sofa, head tilted to one side.

"And he's definitely your fucking boyfriend, bro."

[atehimrightup]

It’s not hard to guess what she means by that, so Lee just nods in understanding and sympathy. She seems eager to move past that, and Lee is just as eager to oblige.

Lee doesn’t really care about touring the house. It’s way too big in a way that kind of freaks him out, so he’s fine not exploring too much for now.

“We haven’t— ugh,” Lee hits the pen again and hands it back over. “If that was the case then wouldn’t me being here be pretty shitty?”

[takecourage]

"Well, he's had his tongue inside me while you watched, so that's something," she says, taking the pen with an amused look on her face. "And people have open relationships all the time." She tilts her head and then turns to exhale. "Do you guys let each other fuck outside?"

[atehimrightup]

“Well, to be fair, I didn’t know I’d be having my first threesome that night. It just happened. Most things with me and him just seem to happen.” Alex keeps on talking about relationships and what they met each other do, and Lee feels a little like he just walked into a trap.

“Outside where?” Lee asks, confused, and then shakes his head a little. “Jesus. What are you, a cop?”

He laughs and takes the pen back from her, shrugging. “We haven’t talked about it and I’m pretty sure he’s off fucking some girl right now anyway.”

[takecourage]

Alex rolls her eyes and spreads her legs, still sitting on the back of the sofa. He's close enough that she reaches out and takes a fistful of his shirt to pull him between them.

"I think it's fine that you're here," she says.

[atehimrightup]

Lee’s gaze drops to the insides of her bare thighs as she spreads her legs, letting himself be pulled between them. He leans over her, bracing one hand on the back of the sofa.

“We have things that we ask of each other. I hesitate to call them rules,” Lee says after a moment. He likes Alex, but Lee is such a private person and what he has with George feels special, and a little like it would all fall apart if he examines it too closely. “Me being here doesn’t break any of them. It’s fine.”

[takecourage]

"Good enough for me," she says, tousling one hand into his curly hair and tugging him in so that she can kiss him, nudging his mouth open and licking her way inside. God, she's missed kissing.

"What're you in the mood for?" she asks because fucking Lee and his apparently-not-a-boyfriend in a sex club wasn't necessarily the best reflection of what he was actually into.

[atehimrightup]

Lee lets himself be drawn into the kiss, resting one knee on the sofa and keeping a hand on the back of it with his other hand goes to the back of her neck, squeezing as they kiss. It goes on for a long time and Lee hums.

He never realized how much he liked kissing until the had the time to actually do it.

“I dunno,” Lee says as he kisses his way down her neck, grabbing at one of her tits through the thin material of her top. “I’m not picky.”

[takecourage]

It's a good kiss, and Alex is grinning breathlessly when it breaks. She tilts her head to give him more room to kiss down the side of her neck, arching her back to press her tit into his hand. She's so much softer than she used to be, curves in places she never had them. Darrow's made her healthier, but it's also made her soft.

"Good," she says. "Me either."

[atehimrightup]

“I only do that shit with George,” he says against her neck, referring to what they got up to at the club. “I’m still learning.”

Alex would be a good person to learn from, and maybe later he can ask her questions. As of this moment, he’s too distracted by all her warm curves and the sweet smell of her.

He hooks a finger in the neckline of her top abs drags it down until one of her ample tits pops out, and he cups it in one hand while pulling her nipple into his mouth and sucking hard, using his tongue to fiddle with the barbell going through it.

[takecourage]

Alex moans softly, cradling the back of his head with one hand, her fingers pushed into this thick hair. Every pull of his mouth on her nipple makes her cunt throb, and she squirms against the couch.

"At least you can play with mine," she says, grinning. "They've been healed for years."

[atehimrightup]

“Fuck, it’s so hard to leave his alone,” Lee whines, biting gently at the swell of her breast, hard enough for her to feel it but not enough to hurt. It should be weird, talking about George while fooling around with someone else, but it isn’t. Not with Alex, at least.

Lee pulls her other tit out to give it the same treatment, sucking hard at her nipple and then pulling on the piercing with his teeth to gauge her reaction. Her breath catches and it goes right to Lee’s cock, already hard in his jeans.

“Do you feel it in your cunt?” Lee asks as he bites at her nipple again, reaching up to pinch at the other one with his fingers, pulling on the metal. He asks half out of curiosity, and half to get a reaction out of her.

She’s wet already. He can smell it.

[takecourage]

He's not gentle with her, pinching and biting, and, God, it feels good. R.I.P her underwear.

"Yes," she says, rolling her hips, squirming for emphasis. "Every single bit of it is going straight to my cunt. You can keep doing that for as long as you like."

[atehimrightup]

“Good.” Lee keeps sucking and biting, switching from one nipple to the other and back again, enjoying himself immensely. It’s like he’s making up for all he wants to do to George. All the urges he’s held back for over a month now pour out of him, and he practically growls as he sucks so hard on her nipple that his cheeks go hollow.

One hand stays on her nipple and the other drops to her cunt, cupping her through her thin shorts. She’s molten hot and Lee starts to massage teasingly, rocking his palm against her clit until the crotch of her shorts are nearly soaked through, all while playing with her nipples.

The weed is kicking in, and it truly feels like he could do this for hours.

[takecourage]

"You're a fucking tease," says Alex, both hands pressed into his hair now, but her tone of voice suggests that she doesn't really mind that much. Her nipples are damp and pink from Lee's mouth and her shorts are soaked, and she's really hoping that she's going to get fucked at some point but she's really not in any rush.

[atehimrightup]

“It’s not teasing if I plan to follow through,” Lee says with a grin, pressing his face between her tits and dragging his tongue up between them before settling on his knees on the floor in front of her.

“I didn’t get to do this last time,” he says as he pulls her wet shorts down her legs and tosses them aside, settling between her thighs and lifting one leg to rest over his shoulder.

He grins up at her wolfishly and then presses his face into her cunt with clear enthusiasm, groaning as he covers her clit with his mouth. Maybe it’s not much of a surprise, given his darker proclivities, but Lee genuinely loves eating pussy. He’s enthusiastic and eager with it, sucking and flicking his tongue before shifting to push it inside her, fucking her with it while staring up at her face, pressed against her so tightly that he can barely breathe.

[takecourage]

Lee goes to work with obvious enthusiasm and not a little skill, and Alex moans loudly, her fingers tight in his hair. His mouth on her clit, she holds his head still for a moment, keeps his mouth right there, and grinds up against it.

"Fuck," she grins. "You're good at this." She suspects he knows that.

[atehimrightup]

Alex holds onto his head and Lee grunts, sucking hard as she rocks up against him. He looks up at her at the compliment, eyes bright and amused, and wraps his arms around her thighs, lifting her ass nearly all the way off of the sofa as he goes back to fucking her with his tongue, nose pressed in against her clit.

The smell and taste of her is intoxicating, and Lee wants nothing more than to feel her come from just his eager mouth.

[takecourage]

Before Darlington, Alex had never come with a man, ever. The other night at the club, Lee and George had made ejr come her brains out, between them. Now, she can already feel her orgasm building, as she rocks her hips between Lee's hands and his mouth. She's practically naked, spread out on the sofa, and, at least for a while, she can't remember another damn thing that's ever happened to her in this house.

[atehimrightup]

Lee slides one hand around to the small of Alex’s back and the other up to fondle her tits, pinching and pulling at her piercings as he sucks relentlessly at her clit, not easing up even when her hips start to jerk and her thighs close around his head.

She’s so close. Lee can smell it, he can feel it, and he wants badly for her to come undone.
