Alex's Point of View
Curling his fingers into what he liked to call the "agitator claw", Alex Wagner stirred up the pot of rice with his hand before draining the cloudy water. You better believe that after years spent with Terry Tsai as a roommate and frat brother, Alex knew how to properly wash rice. Once the water ran mostly clear he the loaded the rice cooker and pressed start. Idly, he wondered how many white couples in Northern Virginia owned a rice cooker. Surely it couldn't be just him and Alice.
Money was tight, so "slop" it was. Alex had been working on refining his slop recipe since college. He'd smoked a pork butt the other day and with proper portioning it would last them all week. Slop, or "taco cereal" if you wanted to be funny, was Alex's standardized money-saving meal plan. First you'd take a cheap cut of meat (pork butt in this case), precook it, and cut about a pound of it into bite sized pieces. From there, you'd stir-fry the meat with onions, bell pepper, and spinach, whatever was on hand, really. Season the whole thing like taco meat and serve on a bed of rice. Voila, slop!
He'd already started prep work for the meat and vegetables when he heard Alice come on. "Hey, honey, I'm in the kitchen!" he called out. While he was chopping up the onion, his girlfriend approached from behind, silent as a lioness in the tall grass. She hugged his back and placed a kiss on his neck that made him shiver. "N-nice to see you too," Alex stammered. God, they'd been together for years and she still had the same effect on him.
"Don't bet any money on RRC getting nominated," she said in his ear.
He turned around. No fucking way! His eyebrows strained to reach his hairline and his jaw literally dropped open. "You're going to hit her?"
Alice smirked. "Wouldn't that be something? But no, not her. Word has come from on high, my love, and the Rodriguez-Cooper campaign itself is our target. Somebody vital is bound to suffer an unfortunate accident."
Holy shit... "Uh, how does that work, babe?" He was kind of afraid to ask but his curiosity was piqued.
She turned slightly and gave him a coquettish look over her shoulder. "Somebody important wants Jim Paine to receive the nomination. We're going to sabotage her campaign somehow. That gay guy I told you about is already on the case."
Alex remembered something about that. "The one who helped you with the blackmailer? Isn't he a rookie? This job sounds kind of big for a new guy."
Alice sidled up next to him and started dicing the bell pepper. "Infiltration is a different beast. If they need somebody taken care of they'll send me or somebody else experienced. He's competent enough to get in there as our eyes and ears."
Alex grunted in affirmation. I'll just have to take your word for it. "Anything else going on?"
"Dahlia sends her love. I actually just dropped her off at the airport. She's taking a short flight to Connecticut to be with her husband. That time of the month, you know?"
He snorted. Alice's boss and her husband were couple goals. Alex wondered what the logistics of five kids would even look like. You'd need a van for sure. There was no other way.
"My boss is a lot less fun that yours," he said. "Chip has been riding my ass. Fully autonomous AI that can actually make tactical decisions isn't a simple matter! But he has all these ideas in his head, thinks we could just plug the missiles into chatPBJ and it would work. I've been trying to explain to him the difference between AI slop that hallucinates and the reliability requirements of real physical weapons systems, but he just doesn't get it!"
Man, that turned into a hell of a rant. How could he let a loser like Chip Lackland get to him? The guy was a tech bro without the tech, probably failed Calc 1 back at Haverford College.
Alex felt the warmth of Alice's body as she leaned into him. "You say the word, baby. Say the word and he's gone. He won't touch me, I promise." Her eyes were intense and absolutely serious. His girlfriend really would kill for him if he asked. It should've terrified him, but some part of Alex's heart really liked it.
He exhaled tiredly. "Let's just...keep our options open on that. Terry has an idea, but it'll be a bitch and a half to implement."
Alice stilled and her eyes grew cold. "Which one?" she demanded. The temperature in the room dropped and silence prevailed as her knife stopped chopping vegetables. She was still holding onto it, though. Alex could tell what she was thinking about doing.
This again. "Terry the boy, honey. Honestly, you and his sister need to get over this animosity you have."
"She wants you, I can tell," she said dangerously, clutching the knife even tighter.
Alex rolled his eyes. "Even if that were true, do you honestly think I would ever cheat on you?"
His girlfriend looked deeply in his eyes, searching for something. After a moment, she nodded and set the knife down. "No," she said softly. "It goes against your character and morals." She clutched her chin thoughtfully. "You also prefer me, physically. My boobs and butt are bigger. My hips are wider, my lips fuller. She's just a skinny thing," Alice said with disdain.
He sighed. "That's all true, but you don't have to be so cruel about it. Teri will find somebody, someday. The twins are super close. Terry is a lot more fun when his sister is around. She drags him out of his shell. Getting him talking was a lot harder in college, let me tell you."
The rice had about five more minutes to go so Alex decided to get started on the stir-fry. "You can go sit down, babe. I'll bring dinner when it's ready."
The nasty expression she had on her face when they were talking about Teri Tsai instantly brightened. "Okay, honey!" She kissed him and left the kitchen. A minute later Alex heard the tv turn on. Wonder what we'll watch tonight?
After a little stir-fry action, Alex made two big bowls of slop on rice and brought them to Alice, who was sitting on the couch.
She stood up when she saw him. "I'll get the beers, Alex. How about you put on that new Korean dating show, Single's Oblivion?"
That sounded great to him. With his slop bowl in one hand, and a Tecate in the other, he and Alice settled down to watch the trials and tribulations of Jinwoo and Sooyoung.
Alice sipped on her drink while providing a running commentary. "Jinwoo is such a loser," she declared. "I have no idea at all what Sooyoung sees in him."
Typical Alice. None of the men were ever good enough, even on these super tame Korean shows that lacked the messy American drama. "Hey, at least he's trying!" Alex wanted to defend the poor guy.
"He just wants her body, Alex. Men like that are obvious. Jinwoo showed no interest whatsoever in Sooyoung until the beach episode. Suddenly he can't get enough of her. Like I said, obvious."
Alex shoveled some more slop into his mouth and washed it down with his beer. "I like your body too, you know."
Alice laid her head in his lap, facing upwards. She scratched his chin teasingly. "You don't give yourself enough credit, baby. Your love is different, clean. Giving my body to you makes me feel worshiped, not used. You remember the early days of our relationship? I was so damaged, so raw. You were so patient with me, so gentle. You made sure I was okay. Other men wouldn't do that. They just see a blonde with a nice body. You see me, all of me. I knew you wanted my heart, even then. God, I love you so much."
There were tears in her eyes. He reached down and stroked her cheek. "Alice..."
"It's okay," she sniffled, nuzzling her head into his crotch. Alice didn't talk for a while after that. Alex just sat there, stroking her hair. I love you too.
Sooyoung finally agreed to have dinner alone with Jinwoo when Alice stirred. "Hey, where are you going?" Alex called.
"Getting a towel," she said simply.
Why does she need a tow...oh.
"Pants off, Alex," she commanded.
Guess she couldn't wait, he thought.
He stood up, and she placed a towel down on the couch. Not needing to be told what came next, he sat his bare ass down on the towel, his cock already half hard in anticipation.
Alice sank to her knees and reached for him. She gave his dick a few light, teasing strokes, and leaned forward to place a cute kiss on the tip.
"Fuck, Alice!"
He was rapidly hardening from her touch. Alice's beautiful blue eyes looked up at him, promising all the pleasure in the world.
She took him into her mouth, just the head at first. The hot wet suction was a sensation without compare.
"God, I love it when you do this," he rasped. His words only spurred her on.
Alice opened her mouth wider and took him deeper into her throat before pulling back, her plump lips gliding along his sensitive skin.
It was...it was...it was all he could do to grip the couch and hang on, his knuckles turning white from the effort. She moaned around his length, satisfied at his reaction.
She pulled back again, and pumped him a few times while gently nursing on the tip. Her tongue swirled around his glans, driving him wild.
When it almost became too much, Alex reached out and stroked her hair to beg for mercy. No mercy was given.
Alice began bobbing on his erection. Slowly at first, but gradually picking up speed, working him with her hands in time with her mouth's movements.
Oh shit, I'm getting close. "Baby..." he whimpered, trying to warn her.
She stopped immediately and stood up. "Take a breather, honey," she said kindly. From there, Alice slid her panties down and stepped out of them. The tennis skirt stayed on. Then she was on top of him.
Alex reached for her hips and pulled her close. They kissed for a while. He never understood men who hated kissing after getting a blowjob. Personally, he loved it. He craved the contact, the connection. He wanted to show her what she meant to him. The emotions threatened to overwhelm him as their lips met, not in a battle for domination, but in hunger, the absolute need for each other.
"I love you so fucking much," he whispered into her hot mouth.
"Let me show you how much I love you," she replied. Alice reached down and guided him into her. In one smooth motion she sank down and enveloped his whole length in her sweet body.
That Alice was tight and wet and warm and alive went without saying. She was perfect as she gently rocked her hips into him and resumed their kiss.
Looking down, Alex saw her tennis skirt fall like a curtain of privacy over where they were joined. The fact that he couldn't see it, but could feel it, was the most erotic thing in the world to him.
How they were right now was so different from the wild, rough coupling after a fresh kill. That was a catharsis; this was completion. They were one.
"I want it inside me, Alex," she instructed, reaching down to rub her clit as her movements became more urgent. "I want your seed. Put in where it belongs!"
Alice's pussy tightened around him, as greedy and demanding as the rest of her. That blowjob had brought him to the very brink. It wouldn't be long.
Alex's hands slipped under Alice's skirt and cupped her ass cheeks. She was really riding him now.
They were nose to nose. Her eyes looked impossibly large this close, dark portals that demanded his essence. He would give it to her. He'd give Alice anything!
Their steady rhythm became rough and jerky as they both raced to their peak. With a final shudder he let go and gushed inside his girlfriend.
The wet heat spreading in her grasping womanhood set Alice off and her contractions were so powerful they almost pushed him out of her. Alice fought, and kept them joined, bearing down to force his spurting cock as deep as possible. She buried her head in the crook of his neck and growled like an animal.
All he could do was hold her until the beast within relinquished its hold on Alice.
It took a while, but eventually Alice came down and reason returned. She was panting and gasping for breath. "We're getting better at those mutual orgasms," she said tiredly.
Alex felt the wet mess that was his crotch and was grateful Alice thought to put a towel down. This was a really nice couch.
