32. Lift Me Up Like Helium

"Jesus, Kara..." Kara was kissing down the side of Lena's neck and straddling her hips. She then lifted up to reach Lena's mouth to make her stop talking.

When Kara finally leaned back to catch her breath, Lena chased her lips, but found she had limited movement since Kara still had her wrists trapped against the couch.

"You're going to be the death of me..." Lena gasped.

"Not a bad way to go, right?" Kara smirked and went back to work on her neck and moving down her collar bone as far as Lena's v-neck sweater would allow.

"I would have absolutely no complaints..." Lena confessed.

Kara giggled and then sat back a bit. "Seriously, Lena. Do you want me to stop?"

"Of course not. I'm just worried...I was only supposed to stay for dinner..." Lena said, calming her breath. "I don't want you to be tired for practice tomorrow."

"You let me worry about practice, OK? I am the professional athlete, after all." She teased. "Anyway, it's early. Let's stop wasting time and take advantage of these meds while we still can."

"Dammit, Kara. You know I can't say 'no' to you. Especially when you're in my lap like this."

At that admission Kara let her body sink down further onto Lena so that her center rubbed against the rapidly forming bulge in Lena's jeans.

"Don't fight it Lena...We'll both be happier if you give me what I want." Kara leaned harder onto Lena's wrists and began to grind against her. Even through their pants she could feel Lena pulsing.

"Oh, fuck..." Lena said as Kara began nipping and kissing at her ears.

"Wait! Before we get too carried away...we have to at least set an alarm. I can't bear to have you be late again." Lena said weakly.

"You think of everything!" Kara released Lena's wrists and they both reached for their phones.

"What time do you want to wake up?"

"Let's set them for 7:00. That way I can have a couple of minutes with you before I have to get ready."

"Wonderful idea."

After she was done setting her alarm Kara started working on Lena's neck again.

Lena took a deep, reluctant breath and spoke up again.

"Kara...shouldn't we at least...I mean...what about the couch? Things might get a bit...messy."

"Oh, most definitely..." Kara grinned. She reluctantly dismounted and stood next to the couch, then pulled Lena up by her wrists until she was standing too.

"I'll race you to my room!" In a moment she was gone, tearing down the hall at a top speed.

Lena chased her closely and grabbed her from behind just as they got inside her bedroom door. She wrapped her arms around Kara's chest and pulled her close.

"Hardly a fair race." Lena protested. "First, I've never even been in your room before. And second, well, you are a professional athlete, after all!" Lena nipped teasingly at her neck.

Kara laughed at hearing her own words repeated back to her.

"Don't worry, I think you're going to be very happy with your second-place reward." Kara turned her head and said huskily into Lena's ear.

"I have no doubt..." Lena chuckled and continued her work on Kara's neck from behind.

"So, since you've never been in my room before - what do you think?"

Lena paused what she was doing and looked around. "I love it. It's very...you."

"I know it's not what you're used to. It has a well-earned second hand vibe." Kara said, sounding self-conscious. "But now that my salary's gone up, I'm getting my own place...I'll be able to..."

"Shh, Kara, please stop. I love your room. I just said it was very you, didn't I? What's not to love then? I'm just happy to be here with you. Sometimes when I used to think about you at night I tried to picture where you were. Now I know. Thanks for inviting me in."

"I'm really glad you're here." Kara said, turning her head so she could briefly kiss Lena's cheek.

"So...you mentioned something about a second-place reward?"

Kara giggled and reached behind her to pull Lena's hips closer. Lena leant a hand by pushing forward to bring their bodies flush. Kara gasped at the feeling of Lena's cock against her ass. She pushed her hips back harder.

"You know someday, I'm going to want to explore this position a bit...further." Kara said. "But right now I don't want to miss this chance of feeling you empty deep inside me."

"Whatever you want, baby. Anything you want." Lena said breathily into her ear. Kara loved to hear the effect she was having on Lena in her voice.

"Good answer." Kara smirked. She managed to spin in Lena's arms so that she was facing her, then took her hands and began slowly walking backwards until the back of Kara's knees reached the bed. Lena pushed forward just enough to send Kara falling backwards onto it. Lena followed close behind, climbing on top to straddle Kara's hips but now lowering herself down enough to be in contact. She reached for her "National City Spirit" sweatshirt and tugged it upwards. Kara raised her arms to allow Lena to free it, then quickly ripped her own T-shirt off. Lena reached around to release her bra while Kara went for the button of Lena's jeans. She used one hand to work on the button while the other slid over the tight bulge.

Lena groaned loudly at the feeling of Kara's hand putting gentle pressure on her cock through her jeans.

"You poor thing...so tight inside these jeans." Kara said as she slid her hand up and down over Lena's straining cock. "God, I want you so much."

Kara managed to loosen Lena's button and then started to work on her zipper.

"Kara, please..."

Lena gripped her wrists and pulled her hands away. "Not so fast. I need to taste you first." Lena said, reaching for Kara's waistband and started working her pants down. "May I?"

Kara nodded enthusiastically.

"Lean back against the headboard so you can have a good view of me worshipping you."

Kara obeyed, scooting back until she reached the headboard. Lena followed closely, sliding Kara's underwear down and off her legs. Next she finished removing Kara's bra as she moved the straps off her shoulders.

For several moments Lena looked a bit mesmerized at the sight of Kara completely naked before her. Kara bent her knees slightly and spread them in a clear invitation.

"My god, Kara...you're incredible. You have the most beautiful body...I've ever seen."

"Benefits of being with a professional athlete." Kara grinned and flexed her abs a bit.

"Well, I've been with 'professional athletes' before. No one has ever turned me on the way you do."

Kara's omega couldn't help but preen at her words, her mind flashing to Kate getting aggressive with her in the locker room.

"And I can take care of you better than any of them." Kara purred.

"I know, baby. Better than anyone." Lena whispered as she leaned in. "But right now I'm going to take care of you."

"Wait. At least take off your sweater, Lena. I want to see you too."

Lena moved back a bit to comply with Kara's request. She pulled the sweater over her head, then removed her bra. Kara's eyes grew wider as if she was looking at a delicious meal. She smiled in appreciation.

"Talk about a beautiful body..." Kara said, licking her lips.

Before she could say more Lena pressed down on Kara's shoulders, pushing her against the headboard as she resumed her efforts. She worked her way down Kara's body at a painstakingly slow speed along her neck and collar bone before finally taking one of Kara's nipples into her mouth. She moved her tongue gently at first, steadily increasing pressure and suction and finally biting down, causing Kara to cry out in pleasure. Eventually Lena switched sides to give equal attention to both before eventually starting to work her way lower.

She continued kissing every inch of the skin stretched tightly over her abdominal muscles and hip bones. Kara was mesmerized at the sight of Lena's bare shoulders and gorgeous muscles of her back working as she moved her tongue with great skill. Kara squirmed and moaned in pleasure, while teasing her fingers through Lena's hair.

Lena eventually shifted her body lower along Kara's and began to tease and lick along her knees, moving along her inner thighs until she at last reached Kara's soaked folds. They both groaned as Lena's tongue slipped between the delicate lips and began to graze slowly up and down. She edged the tip of her tongue along every dripping fold. Kara could tell how wet she was by the way Lena's tongue slipped through her so easily.

Lena paused only for a moment and leaned back slightly. "You taste so good." She murmured before she delved the tip of her tongue again, gliding quickly over her clit to begin licking her entrance steadily. Finally she delved her tongue inside as Kara began to squirm and gyrate her hips.

When Lena moved up to her clit, Kara called out in pleasure. Her hands gripped Lena's head in encouragement, though Lena clearly needed none. Her velvety tongue held Kara so gently at first, then intensified with steadily more pressure and rapid licks against the engorged nub.

"Lena...please..." Followed by an incoherent ramble of pleading as her hips began to thrust in sync with Lena's mouth.

Kara could feel she was ready to fall over the edge, her core responding desperately to Lena's talented mouth. She was so close and couldn't hold out much longer. She wanted to feel Lena inside.

"Please...touch me...inside..." She begged. Lena immediately had her fingers at the edge of Kara's entrance, sliding two gently inside. She continued pressing deeper, then pulled towards her in a beckoning motion. Kara started moving her hips more urgently in response to the steady movements of Lena's fingers against her g-spot.

"Oh god, please...don't stop." As she moved into a rhythm of thrusting with her fingers, Lena never let up her tongue's relentless movements against Kara's clit.

"Yes, yes, fuck...yes." Kara arched off the bed, roughly gripping Lena's head and holding it tight against her as she began to grind against her face. A moment later she was riding her orgasm like a wave of pure pleasure. Kara bucked her hips against Lena's face and fingers.

Lena wrapped her free arm around Kara's ass and back and held on tight. Lena continued her ministrations until she pushed Kara over the edge into another orgasm.

"Lena!" Kara screamed as she arched again off the bed, this time squirting on Lena's face as she continued to lap and suck on her clit or the pressure on her g-spot. "Yes, yes, yes..."

Kara rode Lena's face through yet another orgasm, drawing it out as long as possible until she dropped back onto the bed.

"God...Lena...that was..." Kara was at a complete loss for words. Instead she moved a hand under Lena's jaw to encourage her to come up and meet her.

Lena's lips were on hers and the both hummed contentedly at the feeling.

"Mmm, you taste like me." Kara said, leaning back with a happy smirk.

"My favorite." Lena said. She was beaming at the sight of Kara's pleasure.

Kara was resting and feeling boneless against the headboard of the bed, but she was determined not to miss her chance to take Lena bare.

"I'm not done with you yet." Kara smiled and pulled Lena to her for a long kiss. As Lena hovered over her Kara reached again for Lena's pants, first rubbing through her jeans, which were unbuttoned but still zipped.

"You know, you look really good in these jeans. But I want them off you." Kara nipped at Lena's lips. "Now."

"Your wish is my command, darling." Lena said, stepping off the bed to peel out of her jeans.

Once she was free of them Kara smiled in approval at the sight of her cock standing tall inside her briefs.

"I want you inside me, Lena. With nothing between us."

Lena moved immediately back on the bed as Kara reached for Lena's underwear and tugged. Lena slid them down and at last there was not a stitch of clothes between them.

"Come here." Kara said, her voice sounded with authority and Lena didn't hesitate to move on top of her, wrapping her arms around Kara's back and pulling her close.

"I'm here." She whispered.

"I want every part of you, Lena." Kara said, nuzzling into Lena's neck as Lena moved between her legs.

"Then that's exactly what you're going to get." Lena said darkly as she roughly pressed her legs further apart so she could move between them. Kara could hear her alpha rumbling just beneath her words.

She gripped Kara's ass and shifted so that now Lena's cock was moving tightly through folds.

"Ummphff!" Kara made an incoherent noise at the feeling and in return gripped Lena's ass, encouraging her movements. Longing for her to get rough.

"I want you to breed me, Lena...don't hold back. I want to feel every vein." She husked into Lena's ear.

In the next moment Lena moved off Kara, shifting her body off the headboard and down the bed.

"I want you on your hands and knees." Lena growled more than said into her ear. The next thing she knew Lena had gripped her arm and maneuvered her deftly so that she suddenly found herself on her front sprawling across the bed.

"Oh, fuck." Kara gasped in amazement at Lena's strength, even outside of her rut. Kara instinctively pushed her hips up off the bed and spread her knees apart to present her pussy for Lena. Kara could tell she was absolutely dripping with want.

"Beautiful." Lena whispered, clearly enthralled at the sight. Kara squirmed, trying to relieve the ache for Lena's cock building in her core.

Lena responded by gripping her hips and pulling Kara closer, tilting her ass up and causing Kara's head and shoulders to drop towards the bed. Kara's blood surged at the feeling of being moved roughly into the best position for breeding. Despite being past her heat, her omega was loving the treatment. A needy whine escaped her lips.

"It's OK, baby. I'm going to give you everything you want."

"Want you to fill me. Fill me with your cock. Your come...your..." Kara realized she'd stopped herself from saying 'pups'. All thoughts went out of her head a moment later when she felt the tip of Lena's cock against her ass. She reflexively pushed back on it. Lena eased her cock forward into her wet folds. Lena slipped back and forth and coated herself thoroughly. Kara involuntarily began to whimper in anticipation and longing. She opened her mouth to beg but was silenced by a sudden thrust from Lena, who had nimbly lined herself up and at last pushed inside before Kara could speak.

"Yes!" All other protests and thoughts disappeared at the feeling of Lena moving inside her at last. "Yes. Your cock, Lena. God I love your cock. Yes..."

Lena didn't say a word, but instead pulled back and swiftly pushed in again, burying herself deeper into Kara as she called out again.

"Kara..." Lena was already breathing heavily at the feeling of their bare skin sliding in the tightest pleasure. "You're perfect. Your cunt...is perfect."Kara clenched harshly at Lena's words, coaxing her cock deeper.

Lena quickly moved into a steady rhythm of thrusting in and pulling back and nearly out. Lena was getting rougher in response to Kara's pleading.

"Take me, alpha...I'm yours..."

"I want to...breed you...fill you up..." Lena hissed into Kara's ear. Lena gripped Kara's hair and pressed her head into the bed, creating the perfect angle for her cock. Kara reveled in the feeling of Lena's bare cock, pounding inside her. Without the condom Lena's cock was moving so fluidly and deeply with such ease. Kara loved the increased sensitivity, and the way she could feel the ridge of Lena's cockhead against her g-spot each time Lena pulled back.

As Lena began to thrust harder Kara flashed on the image of being filled with Lena's come. She could tell by the sounds she was making that Lena was close. She closed her eyes tightly and held on.

"Yes." Kara gasped. "Yes, Lena. Make me round with your seed. I wanna carry your..."

Kara bit down hard on her tongue, not really ready to hear the words spilling out of her own mouth. Instead she began to move and achieved a perfect rhythm with Lena, who was moving in and out with earnest.

"Yes...don't stop. Deeper. All the way. Harder. I can take it... want all of you..." Kara felt like she was losing control of her basic sensibilities. All she could think about was getting Lena to fill her.

As Lena increased her pace and depth, keeping Kara's head pressed into the bed, Kara was reduced to sounds rather than words, but all of them only encouraged Lena to go harder. Lena began to grunt roughly with each thrust, and soon Kara began letting out a high-pitched 'ah' sound which she could no longer control, every time Lena buried herself inside.

"I'm going to...I wanna...please Kara..." Lena was rambling but Kara seemed to get a sense of the thoughts that Lena's alpha was trying to get out.

"Anything...you want." Kara managed to gasp out between thrusts. "Breed me...fill me up...with your come..."

Lena reached around to find Kara's clit and began to work it roughly as she continued bucking into Kara. Moments later Kara was clenching in orgasm, squeezing Lena's cock tightly, demanding to be filled.

"Oh, fuck, please Lena, please."

"Yeeessss..." They both called out as Lena fell over the edge and began to release. Kara had felt the tip of Lena's cock bumping her cervix only moments before. Her hips began to gyrate rapidly, which seemed to worry Lena's alpha. She released Kara's hair and gripped her hips tightly while at the same time biting harshly into Kara where her neck met her shoulder, causing Kara to instinctively become still. She realized Lena's alpha was probably trying to make sure her come stayed inside, since she wasn't in rut and there would be no knot to seal them.

"Yes...fill me Lena...I'm yours..." Kara began to sob in joy and was pushed over the edge into another orgasm as she felt the rush of Lena's come inside. The feeling of Lena filling her instead of a condom felt so right.

Lena began to move her fingers against Kara's clit again, this time very gently, causing her to continue milk Lena's cock.

"Yeesss...god yes...." Lena groaned.

"So full..." Kara whimpered as she continued to cry with happiness and pleasure.

When at last the heavy streams began to slow, Lena released Kara's neck and began to kiss and lick the area while whispering loving words.

"So beautiful, Kara. So, so perfect." Lena continued to kiss and soothe her. "You're so good..."

Kara reached down to take Lena's hand from where she was now covering her clit gently. She moved it up and pressed Lena's hand against her abdomen which was taut with come.

"That's you, Lena." She whispered. "Inside me."

Lena inhaled sharply at he words and soon Kara could feel hot tears on her back as Lena began to sob against her gently. Kara caressed Lena's hand where it still remained pressed against her stomach. Lena began moving her hand all around softy to feel the stretch, then wrapped her arms tightly around Kara from behind and held her.

"I want to see your face, Lena."

Lena moved her hands to Kara's hips and gently eased out. Kara momentarily regretted the loss, but moments later she felt content to be on her back and wrapped up again in Lena's arms, so that she was now able to kiss and see her.

"Are you OK?" Lena asked, sounding worried.

"Never better, I promise." Kara reassured her. "I love when you get rough like that. And I love feeling you releasing inside me. Being filled with your come."

"It's an incredible feeling, Kara. Like nothing I've ever known..."

Kara shifted to get more comfortable, causing them both to moan and come to escape.

She looked down, rubbed her fingers through it and spread it across her stomach. "I'm covered in your come..."

Lena gasped and looked down. "It's a beautiful sight, truly." She whispered.

They laid wrapped in each other for a long while, both seeming content and sated as they caught their breath and slowly came down from their mutual high. Eventually Lena spoke up.

"Speaking of being covered in come, why don't you go jump in the shower? You really need to sleep and I want to get your bed cleaned up so that you're comfortable."

Kara wrapped her arms around Lena, not quite ready to be apart from her. "Will you stay tonight?"

"Don't you think you'll sleep better alone? I want you to be rested for training tomorrow and..."

"I'll sleep better with you here." Kara interrupted. "Please, stay."

"Of course. Anything you want."

"Good answer." She grinned.

"Now, go get in the shower. And point me in the direction of your clean sheets."

Kara laughed and rolled out of bed and waved towards her closet. "OK, boss. On the bottom shelf in there."

"And stay in that shower until I join you."

"Yes ma'am." Kara saluted and disappeared down the hall.

She slipped under the hot stream of the shower and leaned her forehead against the wall, trying to calm her racing feelings. She was a bit shocked at how exhilarated she was at the idea of Lena breeding her. It was something she hadn't really known she would want or get excited by. Her mind flashed at the sensation of Lena fucking her so hard and releasing so deep inside her.

She stayed under the hot stream of water until Lena slipped in behind her. She put her arms around Kara from behind and kissed her gently on the neck. Kara luxuriated in the feeling of Lena's wet breasts slipping against her back.

"Thank you, Kara." She whispered.

"No, thank you." Kara chuckled.

"I'm serious. You didn't get scared off about my...thoughts...of you getting pregnant. And tonight...well, you fulfilled one of my deepest fantasies."

"I'm glad you told me about what you imagined." Kara said, turning her head so that she could kiss Lena's cheek. "You don't ever have to be self-conscious of your feelings about me."

"The truth is...the fantasy about breeding... it's one I didn't even know I had before you. Maybe I didn't even have it before meeting you."

"Not even with Kate?" Kara had said it before she had a chance to stop herself.

"What? No. Why...Oh." Lena stopped. "Of course. You saw Kate at practice today."

"Yes. Sorry, that was silly of me. It's really none of my business."

"No, no. You're free to ask me anything you want." Lena said. "I hope it's not...awkward...to be playing with her."

"Maybe a little. But I've played on teams in awkward situations before. I won't let it affect my play or the team dynamics."

"Kara, did something...happen with Kate during practice?"

"No."

"It's just that...well, your scent has shifted. You seem anxious."

"Ugh! I...I really didn't want to say anything about it. I shouldn't have mentioned her. Can we pretend I never did?" Kara closed her eyes and leaned her head under the shower spray, trying to figure a way out of this discussion.

Lena reached around to shut off the water, then turned Kara towards her. "Please. Tell me what happened."

Kara could sense Lena's scent shifting too. Her hackles were rising and Kara realized she may be imagining something even worse than what had actually happened. She needed to come out with it.

"Really, nothing happened during practice. But, afterwards...I ran into her in the locker room." Kara took a deep breath, annoyed with herself for getting into this situation and worrying Lena.

"What did she do?" Lena demanded, her breaths starting to come more quickly.

"It was really nothing, Lena, I promise. She just suggested, or I guess tried to warn me...she said that...you would leave me, eventually."

Kara felt a wave of fury coming off of Lena. She seemed almost speechless so Kara kept going.

"Don't worry, I'm not one to listen to something a jealous ex-girlfriend has to say about you. I'm going to listen to what you say. And to my own heart." Kara put her hand over Lena's chest above her heart, trying to soothe her.

"Kara, I...I'm very sorry you had to deal with that." Lena said, finally finding some words. "I'm going to speak with Kate and make sure..."

"No!" Kara interrupted. "No, Lena, please. I handled it. She's not going to speak about you to me again."

"She said that?"

"Yes."

"What did you say to her?"

"I told her I could see why she was upset that she lost you -because you're amazing. And I told her I didn't believe what she was saying. And that we wouldn't be discussing it again." Kara took a deep breath. "Oh. And I might have told her that...you're mine."

"You...told her..." That seemed to have a dramatic affect on Lena's rising anger. "Did you really?"

"I believe my exact words were 'She's mine now'." Kara looked at Lena with an embarrassed grin. "I don't know what came over me. I know we haven't talked about...well, I was a bit worked up."

"Don't be embarrassed, Kara." Lena said, relaxing a bit and moving her hands around Kara's back. "The truth is I am yours...if you want me."

"Of course I want you. How could anyone resist you?"

"Well, I seem to remember you resisted me. For quite some time." Lena teased.

"That wasn't about you."

"I know, darling."

Kara caressed Lena's chin, shifting it so she could look into her eyes. "And I'm yours. If you want me."

Lena moved forward to take Kara's lips with her own for a deep but brief kiss before pulling back. "More than anything."

Kara smiled and moved in for another kiss. But Lena shifted back.

"Kara. Will you do me one favor?" Lena asked. "Please will you tell me if Kate says something to you about me again?"

"Lena, I told you, I can handle myself. And I can definitely handle Kate Kane."

"I know. I know that, darling. I just...hate that you have to deal with this on account of me."

"It's OK for me to have to deal with things on account of being with you. I don't have any illusions about that, Lena. I'm not a child. I know that being with one of the most beautiful, powerful, and famous CEOs in the world is not going to be without challenges. Strike that. Being with THE most beautiful and powerful and famous women in the world." Kara grinned and kissed Lena chastely.

"I think you mean notorious rather than famous..." Lena said, frowning to suppress a smile.

"The point is I can handle it, Lena. I want to handle it. And as you've already discovered, being with me is no cake walk either. And soon I'm going to have to get much more focused and serious about my training. I'm going to be a way a lot, I won't be able to see you and..."

"I don't care what it takes, Kara." Lena interrupted. "I'll wait for you as long as you need me to."

"Then we agree. Because I'm going to do whatever it takes to make this work too. I promise." Kara took Lena's fingers and kissed them. "Now, can we finish this shower? I can't wait to curl up in bed with you."

Lena's smile grew and she turned the water back on. "Anything you want." She began to wash Kara carefully, sliding a soapy sponge over her skin.

Once Kara was thoroughly washed she turned Lena around and began to do the same to her, gliding over her neck and back, moving down the curve of her ass. She reached around her to circle her breasts and moved slowly down her abdomen. She could feel herself getting excited again by the feeling of touching Lena's skin so freely. And when she moved her hand even lower it was clear that Lena was getting very excited too.

"Hmm, what do we have here?" Kara husked into Lena's ear as she slid the sponge over Lena's stiffening cock. "Ready to go again so soon?"

"Always ready for you." Lena said breathily. "But we should go to bed. You need to get some sleep, Kara..."

Kara grinned and continued her attention to sliding over Lena's cock. "Come on, Lena. Just once more...before my medicinal carriage turns into a pumpkin? I'll be fine missing a little sleep. But missing out on a chance at having your bare cock one more time? Now that would be a real shame."

Lena continued to resist and Kara got more insistent with her efforts. In a few moments Lena's cock was fully hard in Kara's slippery grip.

"Please Lena." Kara breathed into Lena's ear. At that Lena turned abruptly to face Kara, a look of fire in her eyes. In a moment she had hoisted Kara up and had her back against the shower wall as the water continued to stream around them. Kara wrapped her legs around Lena. Lena moved deftly into position and before she knew it Lena was inside her again. Kara clenched down hard in response, welcoming Lena's cock with delicious pressure.

"Yes! Fuck me..." Kara called out. Lena grunted and thrust higher, working her hips in and out steadily until she was fully hilted. Kara called out encouragement as Lena penetrated her, powerfully trapping her against the shower wall.

"Please..." Kara began to plead and mutter incoherent sounds. She'd already had so many orgasms and felt extra sensitive. She could tell she wasn't going to last long. She suddenly became aware of shuffling sounds in the apartment, and then distinctly heard the front door slam.

What the...? Kara thought, but couldn't stop herself from crashing into her orgasm, clenching tightly and bringing Lena along with her, causing her to cry out in pleasure. Kara put her fingers to Lena's lips to tell her to be quiet as they both fought to catch their breath.

"Kara? Is that you?" Yes, she hadn't imagined it - Alex was home. Both women froze and whispered in unison:

"Oh. Fuck."
