Alice considered her next answer carefully. She disengaged herself from Lara’s arms and twisted around on the chaise so she could look the redhead in the eye. "Lara, I don’t want you to feel like you have to talk to me. I issued way too many ultimatums in the past with Dana. They didn’t really work well for me then, and I don’t intend to make the same mistake with you now. I would, though, like it very much if you wanted to talk to me. Mostly, I just want to help, if I can.
Lara shook her head. "I know that. Really, I do. This is all so new to me, though." She reached down and picked up her glass of wine. After a healthy sip, she continued. "By the way, your show was really good today. If I’m not completely off base, you might be thinking I’m one of the frozen ones on the Chart?"
Alice ducked her head. "I’m not the most patient woman in the world. I do admit, I was hoping you were listening."
"I listen every day, Alice." Lara reached out and softly caressed Alice’s cheek. Alice closed her eyes and leaned into the contact with a contented sigh. Lara’s heart swelled at the sight. With a smile she took off on an irresistible tangent. "Meg mentioned that I told her how sexy you are."
Alice’s eyes shot open and her eyebrows arched. "Yeah?"
"I believe what I said to her was, that every time I hear your voice on the radio, I have a hard time listening to what you say, because your voice is so sexy that I immediately dissolve into fantasies about you being naked on top of me whispering in my ear, and every time you are in the same room with me, I have a hard time imagining anything other than ripping your clothes off. It’s really quite disconcerting."
At Lara’s words, Alice felt herself become aroused. She leaned forward, her eyes searching Lara’s face for permission. She murmured, just before their lips met, "So, I guess that means you like me?"
Their kiss was slow to start, but as the pressure increased, Lara felt herself lose control, and lightly bit Alice’s lower lip. She was rewarded with a groan of pleasure and felt Alice respond with heightened intensity. Alice reached up and placed her hand on Lara’s neck, pulling her into the kiss while straddling her hips. She slowly pushed Lara so that she was resting against the back of the chaise. She tore herself away from Lara’s mouth and began to explore the redhead’s neck with a series of feathery light kisses that ended at the soft spot where neck and shoulder meet. She could feel Lara’s body shiver at the intimate contact.

YES! I am the first commentor-ess! CommentER? Who the hell cares. OK, so when Goldrun and Blue post updates on the SAME freaking night? I am speechless, and will post more (you are feeding my ego…always a good, I mean, dangerous thing, tee hehe!) on the actual chappy soon!
Sorry i havent commented in awhile,but i have been reading!!! This was a great chapter,im kinda liking this lace ship!! Keep up the great work and PPS.
i´m back, again! great updates!! i love your lace. at this chapter, alice is so sweet. lars dreams are so hard, but i´ll think she is just dreaming of (evil) dana, because she knows, that danas death were nearly the death of alice. all the drugs she ate like sweets… she couldn´t loose them both. (i´m so tired, sorry for my bad english)i´m so proud of alice, that she could wait for lara, didn´t pushing her to talk. and the the great ending, she told lara, that she is in love with her. that is so sweet. i agree with bluemini, ther could be fifty more chapters lol.so, all i could say for now is: sail on, my captian, sail on!!!!
Well, who wouldn’t lose their appetite over dreams like that. So, I’m guessing that it’s more like she’s going through the stages of grief in her dreams since she steadfastly refused to do it in her waking hours…and dreams do have a way twisting everything back on itself in weird and irrational ways. So, not so much with the trite, Gold. You are doing a wonderful job!
Yeah. That about sums it up. I don’t even have anything interesting to say. Except that I hope you keep posting, frequently, with chapters as good as this, cos I love this story. Yeah.
Terrific update, Gold – as usual! I’m so glad Lace finally got to spend a quiet night in together, with no interruptions! Lara sooo needed that talk with Alice. And, Alice is such a star – I love how sweet and supportive of Lara she is. And, yay (!!) for her telling Lara she loves her – I really didn’t see that coming in this one, but that’s what makes it so believable. It was the perfect moment to totally open up to Lara, and to convince her that she’s not going anywhere. Fantastic – and not a slice of cheese in sight! I know you’re drawing to a close, but I hope there’s still a chapter (or fifty) more in the works [*crosses fingers hopefully*]!
loved it! really great update, and thats saying something that you were able to impress me at 7:47 in the morning! good job! although i dont know why im up this early…huh…gonna go to sleep now! lol post mroe soon!
OK. Here’s my PS: I find this chapter even more intense than the last one. Or maybe because of the last one’s particular depth, or maybe ’cause I was listening to some melancholy music by Telepopmusik whilst reading, this update delivered a whallop. All kinds of wonderful potential for me thinking you’re moving into a slow-brewing, and, I use this word in the purely literary sense*, intense climax. Talk about emotions. I think one thing you’ve really captured is what any of us want–to understand and to be understood, epsecially with a partner/loved one. I had to go back and read again and let the chapter sink in–which, btw, equates with mad sexcellent writing skillz in my book! Kudos as always. Just when I think you can’t get it any better. I mean, even how you place them physically at points, with Alice ‘nestled into Lara’s taller frame’ is so spot on with the just-right amount of quiet, no interruptions, and austere beauty of nature (sunset, rooftop garden as change of vantage point) providing room to verbalize apprehensions. And the subtle signals of comfort between our two heroines (gestures, eating off each others’ plates, etc.) emphasize the level of comfort they feel towards each other. They may not have it all figured out yet, but that lends to this story’s credibility. Trite? Where? And any tailspins are right on…into Emotion-Land (don’t forget, it’s also always OK when the train stops in Get-It-Onfordshire with layovers in Nookie-Ville. OK, it’ll be up to you to ascertain the appropriateness of where more phsycial intimacy comes in [oops, no pun intended, but I just can’t stop today, geez!]). I totally did not see it coming that Lara would voice that she couldn’t remember how it felt to love Dana. Angst! And Alice says THE WORDS. A cliffhanger and resolution all rolled into one? Sigh….more soon please, your writing is …[insert 87 postiive attribute adjectives here, I don’t want to use just any old boring ones for now…] *literary, my ass….;)
I love it and I am glad to see that lara is talking to alice about all that is going on with her please post soon great update
