Ava and Melissa were private about their relationship with each other. Everyone at Abbott knew they dated, but it was never brought up in casual conversation at work under fear of Ava’s blackmailing ways and Melissa’s unbridled rage. They had long ago agreed that no one needed to know what happened in their personal life, as long as they were happy, then others should be happy for them. Everything was professional within the walls of the building, Melissa rolling her eyes at Ava’s antics, and Ava shamelessly flirting with anyone who walked in her proximity. Outside the concrete walls of their job, they were possessive, handsy, and just two people madly in love. It was the type of spark that burned fast and bright. There was only one thing about their relationship that they kept absolutely secret- you.
Melissa already had enough judgment from her best friend for dating the principal of their school without disclosing to HR; she didn’t need to hear the comments about adding another younger woman to her sex life. Ava purely enjoyed the secret because it was the thrill that she needed in her life. A little something to spice up the relationship she had been growing with the redhead for years. They loved each other, planned to spend the rest of their lives together, but there had been a little piece that had been missing. Something that calmed their tempers, soothed their daily stress, and brought a sense of peace to their weary bones.
You didn’t mind the arrangement, being out in the public had never been your thing, and all you really needed at the end of the day was the adoration of the two women. Which they gave to you endlessly. Some days, they were sweet: Melissa making intricate home-cooked meals while Ava gave you a full spa day retreat within the walls of their shared home. Other days they showed their love in a more… aggressive manner. They wanted to claim you, take you, use you in any way they saw fit to get rid of whatever weighed heavy on their shoulders. You had been with them long enough to know which version of your loves would walk through the door at any given moment.
-~-
The door slammed with a force that shook the keys that hung on the wall to the right of it. Ava’s bag made a thump as it tumbled to the floor her heels scraping against the wood as she shoved them into the closet. It was followed shortly by a slew of Sicilian curses as Melissa ripped off her boots and threw her purse onto the kitchen island. There was a clatter of pots and pans as she set to work making dinner. Next followed the clink of glasses as Ava dug through the wine cabinet for a drink. You were still working at your makeshift office in the dining room when the commotion unfolded behind you.
“I can’t believe the nerve of that little bitch to go and tell the district on me,” Ava scoffs. “After everything I did for her at the last budget meeting, she should be eating the dirt off my shoe. Her school was getting nothing.”
“Suspended! Without pay for two weeks because Janine decided we should open our mouths. Fottuto stronzo,” Melissa barks, having her own little argument. “Then the testa di cazzo walks in right when we are about to be home free.”
You can tell it is only going to get worse as the noise in the kitchen gets louder and louder. You close your computer, setting aside your work, and step inside the room. Ava is up on the counter, wine glass in hand, as Melissa is storming around the kitchen with her hair pulled into a tight bun. You move to shut off the stove where noodles are burning in a pot with no water.
“Angel,” you say gently, stopping the redhead when she storms by, “You didn’t put any water in the pot.”
“For fucks sake!” Melissa yells and goes to turn away when you grab her by the hips.
“Angel, slow down for a minute. What is going on?”
She melts in your arms for a minute, letting out a sigh, “A really shitty day.”
“The worst!” Ava pips in coming to stand next to you. “Now, where is my love princess? I am starting to feel neglected over here.”
You wrap an arm around Ava’s waist, pulling her into your side. You lean up to gently place a kiss on her lips. “I didn’t forget about you, Domina, but Angel was going to burn the house down.” Melissa grunts at your comment, but you silence her gently with a kiss. “It’s okay, Angel, you had a bad day. We all make mistakes.”
The women continued to melt at your continued use of their pet names. You move your hand to cup Melissa’s face gently. Your thumb trails across her jawline as you look between the two women, the stress of the day making their shoulders sag.
“How do I make it better?” You ask gently.
Ava’s eyes immediately gleam, and you know that you already have one on the hook. She turns her gaze to Melissa, who seems a little more cautious. The redhead leans into the palm of your hand for added comfort before she talks. “Tesoro, I won’t be able to hold back if we do what is on my mind.”
“Then don’t,” you murmur. “Use me..let me make it better.”
“See Mel, I told you our Princess would make it better,” She grins, moving your hair behind your ear to kiss your neck softly. “That is what she is here for after all. For us to claim, use, and pleasure ourselves with.”
You let out a soft sigh as Ava leaves open-mouthed kisses down your neck. Melissa is watching your reaction, the last little bit of restraint still clinging to the corner of her vision. It isn’t until Ava bit down sharply on your pulse point and a loud moan escaped your lips that her resolve snapped. She grips your chin, forcing you to look into her green eyes.
“Are you sure about this, Principessa? After the day I had, I won’t go easy on you,” she growls, fingers digging into your skin slightly. You nod, which only makes Melissa let out a disappointing tsk. “I need words, or I will tell Domina to stop. Is that what you want?”
“Don’t stop,” you whimper pathetically, which makes the redhead grin. “I will take whatever you give me.”
Melissa sighs, her face moving to a content smile. “Now those are the words that I love to hear. Go to our room. Strip and wait in your usual spot.”
You rush to comply, running down the hallway into the room that you have begun to share with the other women. You quickly toss your clothes into the basket in the corner of the room and sink down to your knees at the bottom of the bed, facing away from the door. You don’t know how much time has passed until they enter the room. The mood between them has lightened significantly when they walk in, laughter spilling from their lips. The sound of them plotting behind you sends a shiver up your spine.
Melissa is the first one to approach you, pulling your hair back so she can whisper in your ear, “Principessa, you are being such a good girl. I am so proud of you.” Your heart swells at the affection, blushing when she kisses your cheek softly. “I expect it to stay that way for the rest of the night. We had a long day, and I don’t feel like taming a brat tonight.”
“I’ll be good,” you promise in a soft whisper.
“I know you will be, or you won’t come for a week.”
Her threat makes your heart race, and you know that you are in for a long night regardless of how good you behave. This thought is confirmed when Melissa crawls across the bed, her naked skin twinkling underneath the soft LED lights Ava always keeps on. She lies back on the bed, spreading her legs so she is fully on display. Your hand automatically reaches out for her, but a death glare causes you to place it back in your lap.
“Principessa, you haven’t earned the right to touch yet,” Melissa tsks, a wicked grin coming across her face. “For now, you have to sit and watch as Domina makes your beautiful Angel feel good.”
“We should let her have a little fun,” Ava protests, coming to stand next to you, her fingers carding through your hair gently. “Let her warm up my cock for you, my love.”
You press your thighs together in an effort to get any sense of relief as Ava’s words wash over you. Melissa contemplates for a couple of moments before nodding silently. You turn to look at Ava, a pit in your stomach forming as you notice the black dildo that is strapped tightly around her hips.
She grins at you, moving a piece of hair behind your ear. “Come on, Princess. Show Angel what you have been practicing.”
You nod, licking your lips eagerly, before you let your tongue roam the length of her. She watches lazily only for a moment before grabbing a fistful of your hair and pushing the tip of the dildo right past your lips. She waits for you to adjust, letting the mist of submission cloud your eyes before she smiles. Melissa watches from the bed, a finger slowly circling her clit as she watches Ava move your head up and down. You grasp her thigh, doing your best to breathe as Ava moves quickly as she loses herself in you.
When she is finally satisfied, she pulls out, causing a thread of drool to fall out of your lips. She swipes it away with her thumb, a grin creeping across her lips. “Oh, Princess, you are a dream. Now watch and enjoy the show. If you even think about touching yourself, the game is over, and that would be a shame.”
Another pitiful whimper leaves your lips, but Ava doesn't care. She crawls across the bed, capturing the redhead in a frantic kiss. They don't necessarily fight for dominance but melt together in perfect unison. Ava pulls at Melissa’s hair as the older woman grabs at her breasts, needing and pinching until they are both a whimpering mess. When Melissa can't wait anymore, she lines up the strap and Ava sinks into her. You can't tell who moans louder, you or the redhead; all you know is that Ava sends you a wicked grin as your nails dig into your thighs.
“My love, look at our perfect princess. Let her see exactly how good I make you feel,” Ava whispers into the shell of the older woman’s ear.
Melissa struggles to keep her eyes open, turning her head towards you as Ava sets a brutal pace. Her pale legs lock around the younger woman’s hips, refusing to let her pull out more than a couple of inches. Ava was kissing down her neck, causing Melissa to arch into every thrust. It was driving you wild watching and being unable to participate. Little crescent moon marks were littering the top of your thighs as you struggled to keep control.
“Ava…need more,” Melissa whimpers, biting her bottom lip.
“Do you need our princess to help you?” Ava asks gently and Melissa nods. With a crook of her finger Ava beckons you onto the bed. “Princess, come help Angel.”
You scramble across the silk sheets immediately capturing the redhead in a kiss. Your hands roam down her chest twisting her nipple sharply. She moans in your mouth biting down hard as Ava slides her hand between the older woman’s thighs. Melissa’s fingers curl through your hair pulling sharply to move your lips down to her neck. You scatter bites along her neck your other hand never stopping as you can feel her coming undone.
“Fuck mi amores. Shit. Don’t. Stop,” Melissa groans and then she shudders.
Her nails scrape along your scalp and you whimper against her as pain mixes with pleasure. Ava pulls out and Melissa clenches at the loss. The strap is tossed to the side as Ava places soft kisses along the redhead’s face.
“How are we feeling my love?” She ask gently her fingers brushing back red hair.
“A little better,” Melissa sighs a soft smile coming across her face. “It’s your turn now mi amore, let principessa take care of you.”
“Gladly,” Ava grins turning to you,” on your back princess. I want to ride your face until I scream as loud as Angel just did.”
You roll onto your back your body getting covered in goosebumps as Ava climbs up your body. You barely even notice Melissa leaving your side when Ava sinks her thighs on either side of your head. Her hand automatically tangles in your hair as you pull her down by her thighs. Swears leave her mouth in a rushed whisper as you gently suck on her clit. Her hips rock back and forth as she sets her own brutal pace. You don’t mind burying yourself further into her so caught up in what you were doing you don’t notice your legs are being spread until there is something pressing against you.
Your body stiffens for a moment until you hear Melissa’s voice. “Don’t fret principessa, I am going to make you feel good.” Her fingers swipe gently through your folds and you moan into Ava. “The only rule is you can’t come until she does….twice.”
You whimper when her fingers curl into you sliding in and out at a sickening pace. You do your best to redouble your efforts but mostly moan into Ava. She falls foward clutching the headboard as you feel her get closer to her first release. With a small nibble of her clit she falls over the first edge with a scream you are sure the neighbors will hear.
It is in this exact moment that Melissa sinks into you. You yelp when you feel the strap push against you and you swear you almost come right then. Your muffled whimper makes Melissa giggle and then moan. You know this strap well, it is Melissa’s favorite to use on you, as a way to give you and her pleasure at the same time. You lose yourself in everything that is going on: Ava’s nails scraping your scalp as she uses your head as an achor, Melissa’s hands tweaking your nipples, the strap pushing in and out of you. It is almost too much and you know that you are going to lose Melissa’s game.
At least you think you are until Ava yelps again, her release sliding down her face as she squirts against you. She falls to the side her body shaking as she curls against you. Her breath is hot against your ear as she whispers, “come for us princess.”
Your release shatters hard and fast causing your vision to go blurry. Melissa coaxes you through it before pulling out the second strap on of the night going the first in a heap on the floor. Ava has already curled herself like a koala around you nuzzling into your neck placing soft kisses against your neck. Melissa joins moments later using a hot towel to wipe between your and Ava’s legs.
Melissa kisses Ava’s forehead and then yours gently, “I love you-il mio curore e la mia anima. My heart and my soul.”
Ava mumbles back a soft I love you already falling asleep wrapped in your arms. Melissa pulls the blankets up around all of you. She kisses your cheek gently before cirling her arm around your waist.
“Do you feel better, Angel?” You ask in a soft whisper sleep already overtaking you.
“Yes principessa, you make everything better just by being here,” she smiles kissing you on the cheek. “Now sleep mi amore. You need your rest.”

Ava and Melissa coming together was an inevitable disaster. Unavoidable, like the way that lightning follows thunder. It all happened after Ava got fired from Abbott and walked out with a cardboard box full of her things. The younger woman had glanced back for just a moment and caught the redhead’s eyes. A thousand emotions played across her face as she squeezed her lips closed, unable to say anything at all. A million things went unsaid as she stepped through the doors of Abbott one final time the door clicking with a finality.
Melissa’s heart had broken, standing there watching a woman she had pined after for years slip through her fingers. A woman who had stood up and defended her more than anyone ever had. She had to chase after her. She knew that, but with the district breathing down their necks, she waited. When the final bell rang, she was out the door, the heels of her boots vibrating the linoleum. Barbara watched her best friend peel out of the parking lot like a bat out of hell, but only smiled. Maybe the redhead was finally going to get her head out of her ass and chase after what she wanted.
Which is exactly what Mel did as she pulled into McShane’s parking lot. An Irish pub that was known for dirt cheap drinks, hot bartenders, and skeevy men who liked to pay anyone for a glance of some tits. On the outskirts of Philly, and the last place that the composed and glamorous Ava Coleman should be. But Melissa knew that she would find her there. Tucked into the corner of the bar, nursing straight whiskey that she made other men pay for. Far enough away from anyone that may know her so that Ava could fall apart into pieces. Her hard exterior chipping away until her true shell remained underneath. An Ava that Melissa was desperate to get to know more of.
When she opened the door, the head hostess was leaning over the small counter, writing away at a pad of paper. You looked up, catching her eye with a smile as your hair fell in curls around your exposed shoulders. Melissa was momentarily caught off guard as you leaned back up your corset on full display. The top gave way to a pinstripe black and grey tank top that barely contained your lifted breasts. A silver necklace wrapped around your neck three times before coming to settle with an anchor charm between your cleavage. Rings of various sizes and shapes littered your hands that splayed across the counter, and every finger was painted a dark black, except your middle fingers, which were a vibrant red.
“You must be Melissa,” You smiled, red lipstick glinting in the low light.
Melissa was temporarily caught off guard and lacked her usual bite when she responded, “Yeah, and what is it to you?”
“Hot woman in a tight red dress standing about 5’7 maybe 6’ with those tall heels walked in here saying and I quote ‘If a red head with a banging body comes looking for me, tell Melissa I’m in the back corner. If it is anyone else tell them to suck my dick’. She was right, you do have a banging body,” You smirked and then waved Melissa forward, “Follow me.”
Melissa’s heart stuttered at the fact that Ava had been waiting for her and knew that she would come. She followed you through the bar, weaving between tables, trying not to get distracted by the way your hips swayed in your black jeans. Or how your heeled boots stepped confidently through spilled liquid and discarded fries. At one point, a man tried to reach out for Melissa’s hand, and you turned around, slapping it away with a small metal pole that you extracted from your pocket.
“Ray, I told you to keep your grubby hands off my customers,” You growled, “I catch you touching something other than your own dick tonight I will kick you out on the street and ban you.”
“But…”
“Try me,” You snarled, hitting him again.
Ray turned back towards his table, his friends laughing at him. You took Melissa’s hand in yours after that, guiding her once again to the corner of the bar.
“You always carry small metal bats with you?” Melissa asked.
“You learn real quick how to defend yourself in this part of town,” You quipped, “But I am sure that you know that already.”
Before the older woman could respond, she stopped in front of a large corner booth tucked in the back of the bar. Ava was swirling a large glass of whiskey in her hand a cheshire grin already spread across her face.
“Here you go, beautiful. That redhead with a banging body that you asked for,” You smiled, and Ava outstretched her hand to give you a twenty.
“For making sure Red got over here safely,” Ava said, her hand lingering in yours.
“Princess, I would have done anything for you for just a kiss,” You said, pocketing the twenty.
“Oh, I can spare one of those,” Ava replied, leaning over the table and pulling you in by the loops of your necklace.
Melissa watched as a knot formed low in her stomach. She was used to jealous. A red-hot emotion that burned through her skin like fire as it licked against wood. But this was different. Hungry almost. A need that she had never felt before, and it drove her wild.
Before she could reflect on it further, Ava pulled away, and you turned to wink at Melissa. Cheeks a dull pink with lipstick smeared, you made your way back to the front. The older woman watched until a click of the tongue and a pet name called out to her.
“Baby, attention on me now,” Ava cooed, and Melissa sunk.
Eyes glazed over, Melissa let Ava pull her into the booth. Once she was flush against Ava’s side, she could feel herself begin to breathe again. Ava moved her hair from her neck and then kissed the exposed skin.
“What a good girl you are. Found where I was hiding in only an hour,” Ava complimented, and Melissa let out a pitiful whimper, “We have so much to discuss.”
Melissa shook her head to clear it and moved away from Ava to the other side of the booth, “I need to sit over here for a moment. Collect myself.”
“Can we at least hold hands?” Ava asked a question that should have been casual but held a slight tremor.
“Yes, I just can’t think when you look like that and are saying all those nice things to me and have those eyes,” Melissa explained, taking a deep breath. Ava squeezed her hand, encouraging her to go on, “You knew I would come for you.”
“Well, I hoped and took a risky gamble,” Ava admitted, “I didn’t get to say a proper goodbye, and we had so many things left unresolved. I figured if you came, then that was the sign.”
"To take the risk on us?” Melissa questioned, looking pointedly at their clasped hands.
“To talk about us but to clarify, being with you was never a risk to me. It was an inevitable collision. The rainbow after the storm. Coming home after a long, stressful day. This is the first time in our lives that we are putting ourselves first, and I will never say that is a risk.”
Melissa surged forward at the last word. Lips crashing into Ava’s as her hands cupped the younger woman’s face, pulling her closer. Ava hesitated for only a moment before her fingers dug into red hair and pulled. Melissa moaned into her mouth, and the whole world seemed to spin. Years in the making, coming undone at the threat of a goodbye that ended in a period instead of a comma.
You cleared your throat and the two women pulled apart. Melissa was panting as she tried to catch her breath. Ava only smiled like she had won the lottery. You placed down a tray with four drinks on the table before them.
“Two Negronis for the redhead with the banging body,” You winked, “And two Moscow Mules for the princess.”
Ava took the copper cup, pulling it in and inhaling deeply, “I didn’t know a skeevy bar like this actually had good drinks.”
“It doesn’t usual. It is just your lucky day that you have a very well-trained bartender who knows where old stock is and is willing to make two beautiful ladies sophisticated drinks,” You grinned, “Guessed on your favorites, but from the look on Melissa’s face right now, I think I got it right.”
“Here, let me…”Melissa said, grabbing for her purse, but you interrupted her.
“It’s on the house.”
“I heard in bars like this if someone buys you a drink they expect you to show them your boobs,” Ava mentioned casually.
You blushed, “You really don’t have to, it was…”
But Melissa had already lifted up her top exposing a black lace bra. Her creamy skin was covered in light freckles that were scattered across her cleavage. Her pink nipples were hard, pressing against the constraining fabric. They were round and large and perfect in every way. You let an audible gulp escape your lips. You had seen your share of boobs working behind the bar and you had barely been phased. However, there was something about Melissa and Ava combined that released something feral in you.
Melissa put down her shirt, smiling before taking a large sip of the bright red liquid, “Thanks again for the drink Angel.”
“I feel like I should thank both of you for the images I will be running through my head, making me unable to sleep tonight,” You joked, attempting to regain your composure.
“You leaving so soon?” Ava asked.
“Unfortunately, I have things that need to be taken care of, but know that if I didn’t, I would have spent the rest of my night in this booth.”
“When do you work next?”
You laughed at Melissa’s question, “Every day till I die, sweetheart.”
“Then we shall see you next time,” Melissa commented, making you smile.
“Till next time, then,” You winked and made your way to the back room.
Melissa and Ava watched you walk away until you disappeared. Ava then raised her copper cup, “Cheers to a new beginning.”
“Cheers to us,” Melissa replied, clinking her glass against Ava’s.
Ava hesitated with her cup inches from her lips. This is what she had wanted for years now. Well, maybe not the whole not having a job part. But the part where she got to be with Melissa and to care for her in a way no one else had before. Ava wanted to make sure that Mel wanted the same thing before she fully committed herself to this dream that had once seemed so far away, “If we cheers to us. Then I want to make it official. You are mine, and I am yours. Girlfriends. No more Captain Robinson. No more hook-ups. Just us. Together.”
“To us,” Melissa reassured her, squeezing Ava’s thigh with her free hand, “The only person I want to be with.”
Ava released a breath she didn’t know she had been holding. After she took a drink, she pulled the other woman back into her arms. Melissa giggled, and that soft look came back to her green eyes. Like walls that had been built up for years were crumbling slowly but surely. Ava had desperately needed this side of Melissa to know that she was real. That this could be real. She leaned in to kiss the older woman, and the rest of the bar disappeared. Lips clashing and teeth scraping, they stayed tucked in the booth for the next couple of hours. Celebrating the release of shared feelings and to reassure themselves that whatever the unknown held next, they would go together. A relationship that would now grow outside of work constraints.
~-~
Weeks began to pass from the first night at McShane’s, with Ava and Melissa stopping back in every couple of days. Some days, they went all out, drinking shots and dancing by the jukebox. During these moments, they were the most flirtatious with you, whispering naughty things into your ears and constantly pulling you in for a dance between rounds. Some days they sat at the bar making bets with you about the shenanigans that would unfold over your shift. This is when you got to learn the laugh that crinkled Melissa’s nose right before she snorted. Or the way that Ava often laughed with her whole body when she thought something was particularly funny. But the days that you loved the most were the ones spent back in the corner both that had become a safe spot for the three of you. Melissa sipping on water grading papers with one red pen tucked in her ponytail and the other one hanging out of the corner of her mouth. Ava, on the other side of the table, typing away on her computer as she tested out lines and ideas for her next public speaking appearance. When you got off you would join them pencil scratching against paper as you wrote out a book you were determined to get published one day. You had even convinced the kitchen staff to heat up Melissa’s leftovers as long as there was enough for each of them to have a plate. You knew that secretly Melissa loved to cook for as many people as possible bringing a little more food each time.
It was an easy relationship that unfolded between the three of you. Light flirting, teasing, and even the occasional Angel from Melissa and Ava when they wanted to get your attention. Then every night before they packed up to go home they would kiss you on the cheek telling you to dream well. No numbers were exchanged, just a promise that they would come back and you would be waiting for them. An arrangement that suited you just fine for the moment. Heart still scarred from your past to be able to accept more than bits and pieces. So you would watch them leave hand in hand and hope that one day you would be whole enough to have what they did.
~-~
One night, you were working behind the bar when Ava and Melissa came in, hands clasped and smiles apparent across their faces. Ava was in a striped burgundy pant suit that dipped just enough to expose her cleavage. Melissa was in a shirt with Ava’s name across it in pink script, her curls kissing her shoulders.They sat at their usual spot at the end of the bar and you were immediately drawn to them.
“What can I get you beautiful ladies today?” You asked leaning over the bar top.
“Your finest bottle of champagne, if you have one. We are celebrating,” Ava grinned, “With three glasses cause you are in on this too.”
“What are we celebrating today?”
When you came back with a large bottle and three flutes Melissa explained, “Ava got a contract for more speaking apperances long term with a large advance and future travel stipends. She was amazing. A true inspiration.”
“And Red here cracked my filing system back at Abbott,” The young woman said, draping a protective arm on her thigh, “Although she could have just asked me and I would have told her.”
“And miss out on watching seasons of Survivor and being able to bond with Gregory a little bit. Absolutely not,” Melissa grinned and then kissed Ava on the cheek.
“Sounds like amazing things to celebrate but the real question is where is my shirt?” You wondered passing out the champagne flutes.
Melissa dug in her purse pulling out a matching shirt in your size, “You didn’t think we forgot about you right Angel?”
Your heart melted as you took the shirt the soft fabric running through your fingers. You didn’t realize how much you had needed to hear those words. You took off your plain black tank top shoving it into Melissa’s purse. The time it took you to pull the other shirt over gave Ava and Meissa ample time to look at the purple bralette that laced around your breasts. Your usual anchor necklace was still tucked securely in your cleavage as you adjusted your shirt once and then looked back at the two women.
“How do I look?”
“Like a million bucks Angel,” Ava said and raised her glass, “Now cheers to the small things and the big things that are still to come.”
You all clinked glasses and you downed the champagne with a smile the bubbles adding onto your happy mood. For the rest of the night anytime someone asked you about your shirt you were excited to share Ava’s good news. You were proud of her for how far she had come from that first night in the bar worried about what to do with her job now gone. Then, when Melissa started to get tired Ava easily convinced her to stay until your shift was over. That way they could spend as much time with you as possible. You had sealed the deal when you came out of the kitchen with a coffee exactly the way Melissa liked it. At one point Melissa tried to hand your shirt back.
“Keep it and think of me tonight,” You winked and for a second you could swear Melissa’s cheeks turned a bright red.
You worked the rest of the night proudly repping Ava’s shirt and talking her up whenever asked. More than once you would catch Ava or Melissa’s eye and give them a wink. It was ramping up to be an easy night before your phone rang. You rarely ever answered your phone behind the bar but the name made your stomach drop. Grabbing it you hurried around the corner.
“What is going on? I'm working behind the bar tonight I gotta hurry” You asked your sister.
“Umm there was a small fire at the apartment,” She said voice quavering.
“Please fucking tell me you didn't start the fire,” You groaned.
“No! Of course not. I can't believe you would think that…it was Tony.”
Your fist slammed against the wall into an award that shattered instantly. Glass cut your hand and you swore as blood began to drip down your wrist. You grabbed a wash cloth from a nearby shelf holding it to you.
“You have got to be fucking kidding me Becca. How bad is it?”
“Well… I think you could probably salvage some stuff,” Becca said casually.
“I'll be there in ten fucking minutes. Don't leave! And Tony’s ass better be there when I get there,” You snipped before ending the call.
You shoved the phone in your back pocket and rushed to the floor. You went to your best friend, Marsha, who was waitressing, and asked her to cover for you. You left her the tips you had already accumulated for the night and was fumbling in your locker to grab your bag when a hand landed on your shoulder.
You jumped but turned to see Melissa, her green eyes filled with an anxiety you hadn't seen before, “Angel what is going on? You are bleeding.”
You looked down at the towel stained in blood and wondered how badly you had been cut, “It’s just. Family shit. I have to go.”
“Do you need anything? I can get Ava.”
And your heart melted at the offer. You stuttered for a moment almost accepting the offer. But this part of your life was too messy. The last thing you wanted to do was ruin a night that was supposed to be full of celebration. To expose yourself to something that still burned to talk about. You were trying to put it into words when Melissa answered her own question.
“Don't want to ruin our night with your mess?” She guessed.
Tears welled in your eyes but you bit your tongue drawing blood to push them back, “I'm really sorry baby. I just… I can't ruin a good day with this. Let me hold onto my piece of this happy for as long as I can.”
Melissa placed a tender hand on your cheek, “Next time then.”
“Next time,” You promised and then rushed for the front door.
You stopped to kiss Ava on the cheek while she discussed her lecture with a rando from the bar. By the time she looked your burgundy bag was the only thing she saw before the door shut. Melissa returned to her side and a silent communication passed through their eyes. Melissa worried and wanting to chase after you. Ava politely reminding her that those who are chased often ran away completely. Admitting defeat Melissa grabbed for her purse and Ava followed a night of celebration cut short.
Outside Melissa looked for your car but it was already gone. A pout formed on her lips before Ava wrapped arms around her pulling her close. Red hair was moved to the side as Ava placed a gentle kiss on the column of Mel’s neck, “Baby she is going to be alright. If she needed our help she would have said yes to your offer.”
“She wanted to accept it! I could see it in her eyes,” Melissa groaned.
“Then we have to show her that we will be here when she is ready. Going after her now is going to spook her off,” Ava reassured her girlfriend, “Trust me.”
“I do trust you,” the older woman sighed, “I just don't trust whoever was on the other end of that phone.”
“Would it make you feel better if I look into it tomorrow and try to find more info?”
“Yes it would,”Melissa turned to nod and kiss Ava, “My little tech genius.”
Ava laughed placing a soft kiss to Melissa’s forehead, “Let’s go home baby. There is still much to celebrate.”
~-~
As soon as the door of Melissa’s house shut behind them Melissa was on Ava. Pulling down her suit jacket as their lips clashed together. Her red nails clawed at Ava’s shirt attempting to pull it up when a strong hand closed around her wrist. Melissa looked up to see her girlfriend glancing down at her fire playing in her eyes.
Ava leaned in to the shell of Melissa’s ear, “Slow down baby. Or did we forget who was in charge here?”
“You are,” Melissa whispered and the world around her began to sink slowly lowering her to that sub space she kept hidden from others.
“So we do remember,” Ava chuckled, “Now go be a good girl and get ready for me. You know how I like it.”
Melissa nodded eyes already clouded as she ran towards the bedroom. Ava picked up her jacket from the floor, hanging it up on a hook and slowly removed her heels. She was about to go to the bedroom when she stopped over Melissa’s purse. She pulled out your tank top tucking it into the back waistband of her pants.
When she entered the bedroom she could feel goosebumps raise on her skin. As instructed Melissa was naked spread out on the bed patiently waiting. She had a dazzling smile on her face. Curls fell onto the black sheets like wisps of fire. Her green eyes sparkled but there was a softness to them as well. Stripped from her usual hard exterior she looked like an angel sent down just for Ava.
Ava may be coded as the dominant in their relationship but there was no harshness in her moves, “You ready for me baby?”
Melissa nodded, “Always princess. Always.”
Ava grinned pulling at her shirt and tossing it into a pile on the floor. Her bra followed shortly after. She unbuttoned her suit pants but then waited, “Do you trust me?”
“Yes. Always.”
Ava removed your tank top from the band of her pants, rolling it up before pulling it taut. She stalked over to the bed and gently tapped Melissa’s wrists, “Above your head now.”
Melissa gulped as she put her hands over her. Ava looped your tank top around her, pulling the fabric through to make a knot. Once she was satisfied, she placed a gentle kiss on the insides of her wrists, “She did tell you to think of her tonight.”
When Ava pulled away, she finished removing her clothing and climbed onto the bed. Swinging one leg over the red head, she settled on top of her hips. She ran a hand down Melissa’s face, cupping her cheek before moving down her neck and between her breasts. Melissa’s breath hitched as she arched her back towards the touch.
“God you are fucking perfect baby. So fucking perfect,” Ava smiled.
Melissa blushed, and the cloud in her eyes began to take over even more. Sinking into a submission that was made specifically for Ava to bring her too. The younger woman looked down at the red head and knew that she was completely gone now. Ava leaned down, kissing her neck, occasionally throwing in a sharp bite. Melissa was moaning within seconds moving her neck to the side to allow Ava more access. Her body arched upwards chasing any relief as the younger one moved to her collarbones. That is when the first call came in. Mambo Italiano blaring from Melissa’s speakers and Ava burst into instant laughter.
“I still can’t believe that is your ringtone.”
“An Italian classic!” Melissa protested with a laugh, “It ain’t gonna be anyone important. The most important person is right here.”
“You trying to sweet talk me so that I go down on you faster aren’t you?” Ava asked mischievously.
“Is it working?”
Ava merely grinned and placed her lips over Melissa’s nipple before pulling sharply. The red head’s whole body jerked upwards as the free hand was placed on the other breast. Ava could have stayed right here for hours listening to Melissa’s pants. It was her favorite part of Melissa after all. The huge perfect breasts that the older woman constantly had on display. And there was only one thing that could pull Ava away from them. Melissa begging.
“Fuck. Ava. I need you please,” Melissa whined, “I need you inside of me now. Please princess. Please. Fuck”
Ava grinned against Mel’s pale skin and pushed a hand between their bodies. With one finger she spread the red head open and she didn’t know who groaned louder her or Melissa. But that is when the second call came in. Melissa huffed as Ava moved to see who was calling. Captain Robinson with a firetruck emoji popped across the screen. Ava’s blood boiled and she went back to the task at hand. She circled the red head’s clit hard and fast. Melissa’s hands came down to reach for Ava but she shoved them back above her head. Everything was moving in fast motion now as insecurity swirled through Ava’s head.
“Princess,” Melissa panted pulling Ava out of her thoughts, “Kiss me. Stay with me. Fuck me.”
A soft reassurance that Melissa had chosen Ava above everyone else. Was sprawled out below her a bumbling mess already. Something that only Ava could do. Ava pressed herself against Melissa, brushing her lips, letting it swallow all of her worries. She only delayed for one more moment before her fingers slid easily into Melissa. The redhead wasted no time bucking her hips riding Ava.
“So fucking needy,” Ava whispered into Melissa’s ear, “Is this what you wanted baby? To fuck yourself stupid on my fingers.”
“Yes. Fuck. Yes,” Melissa said eyes squeezing shut as Ava went back to kissing down her neck.
She was close. Ava could feel it as Mel began to clamp down on her fingers but then it happened again—a harsh light to cut through the growing darkness.
“Does he ever fucking shut up?” Ava growled looking at Melissa’s phone and the redhead whimpered as Ava pulled out, leaving her empty.
Captain Robinson’s name was once again flashing across the screen. It was past the point of him being ignored. And Ava was fucking furious. Melissa was hers now. Well was supposed to be hers and there was only one other person who Ava would ever think about sharing Melissa with. It sure wasn’t this prick. Melissa went to grab for her phone but Ava scooped it up with practiced ease. She yanked Melissa’s locked hands back above her head shoving them into the pillow as if it would glue them there.
“I thought you broke it off with him,” Ava commented silencing the call once again, “That it was just us now.”
“It is just us Princess. I tried multiple times to tell him we were done. I haven’t seen him in weeks, you can even look at my texts. He wanted to do it in person. Talk through things I guess,” Melissa said her hands twitching as she tried to keep them in their proper place, “Just turn the phone off.”
Ava debated it for a moment before she leaned down to the red head’s ear, “He didn't respect my baby’s wishes so now he gets to hear what he is missing out on. I am going to call him and fuck you at the same time. If you so much as think about stopping me or holding back any of those beautiful moans I love so much I won't let you come for a week. Is that understood?”
Melissa nodded and then gasped as Ava’s fingers slid in her harsh and fast, “I need words baby. Or I'll have to stop altogether.”
“Please don’t stop,” Melissa pleaded, “I’ll be so good.”
“You always are baby,” Ava reassured her kissing her gently on the cheek.
With three fingers buried deep inside Melissa, Ava made the phone call. It rang for only a moment before a gruff voice was on the other line, “What the fuck Melissa? I have been trying to get a hold of you for weeks. We need to talk.”
“I know you aren’t talking to my girl like that,” Ava growled, and with a curl of her fingers, Melissa was back to panting, “Try again asshole.”
“Who is this?” Captain Robinson asked an edge in his voice.
“The woman who is showing Melissa what a real orgasm feels like. You know something she never had with you,” Ava smirked and she felt Melissa tremble underneath her a slew of curses sounding like music to her ears.
Captain Robinson let out an audible gulp, “Is that..”
“Don’t even fucking think about it,” Ava spat, “I so much as hear you say her name. Or show up on her phone again I will personally come down to the firehouse and tear your dick off. She told you to leave her the fuck alone. Respect that. Am I clear?”
“Crystal,” He said fear laced in his voice, “Just leave my dick alone.”
Ava laughed, “Not that it was much of a use to begin with.”
The phone call ended abruptly Ava confident that Captain Robinson was left on the other side of the line with an uncomfortable hard on terrified to do anything about it and with the knowledge that he couldn’t fuck half as good as she could. It pushed the rest of the insecurities from her mind, and she fell back into the moment with Melissa. The older woman was already back on the edge again as her nails dug into her palms, doing her best not to lower them yet again. Ava could feel Melissa beginning to flutter around her fingers as Mel’s mind went utterly blank. But Ava wasn’t done yet. Not when a new image fluttered into her mind as she saw red fingernail polish tighten around your tank top. So she pulled out slightly to Melissa’s frustrated protests.
“There is only one other person in this world that I would allow to make you feel this way. Do you know who that is baby?” Ava asked tossing Melissa’s phone across the room exhausted from having to deal with it.
It bounced landing with a dull thud but Melissa could care less about it as she watched a layer of black coat Ava’s eyes with lust. She clamped her hands down harder around your tank top, a flutter of relief going through her as she realized Ava shared the same thoughts. The same feelings about you that had been growing in her chest for days. That you should be with them and only them.
“Y/N,” Melissa said confidently and a grin returned to Ava’s face.
“My girl is so smart,” Ava cooed and for a moment there was a flash of hesitation across her face, “Would that be okay baby? To share you like that. To share me. Us.”
“I trust you,” was Melissa’s instant response, “I want both of you. For all of us to be together.”
Ava’s expression softened further and Melissa didn’t know what turned her on more. Ava’s softness or the imagery of you and Ava both on the bed with her. Hands running over her smooth skin, tangled in hair, kissing down her neck, teeth nipping against her skin, hickeys forming along her breasts.
“World to Red,” Ava joked running her hand over Melissa’s cheek, “You get lost in thinking about how well Y/N and I could take care of you?”
Melissa could only nod sunk back into the safe place in her brain. Ava kissed her gently, “You are worthy of being taken are of Mel. You deserve a space that you can fall apart and realize you don’t need to be strong all the time. Let us be that space for you.”
Melissa whimpered burying her head into Ava’s shoulder. The younger woman didn’t push her to explain only let her fingers sink back inside the redhead. Her thumb made soft hard circles on her clit and she watch Melissa unspiral. Moans filling the room as she pushed her hands tight against her ears trying hard not to let them fall. After being brought to the brink over and over Melissa’s vision began to blur desperate for any relief.
“Who do you belong to?” Ava asked moving her fingers faster.
“I’m all yours,” Melissa panted, “Yours. Yours. Yours.”
She came on the third yours gushing around Ava’s fingers. It spilled onto the sheets leaving a small puddle but Ava only smiled. Bringing her fingers up to Melissa’s mouth the redhead sucked them clean. When she was done it let out a satisfying pop.
“I love you,” Ava said not realizing the words spilled out of her mouth until a shine crossed Melissa’s face.
“I love you more,” The redhead replied, “Now let me take care of you Princess.”
Ava had never uttered those three words out loud to someone she was dating. To burned by those who were supposed to love her unconditionally, to let her heart open that way. But Melissa was different. Melissa was the exception she had waited for her whole life for.
“Say it again,” Ava begged.
“I love you Ava Coleman,” Melissa said a smile playing on her lips.
Ava closed her eyes letting the words swirl through her brain and fix parts of her she forgot were broken. Once her heart settled, she reached for Melissa’s hands, untying the tank top gently. She placed it on the nightstand kissing the inside of Melissa’s wrists. Melissa shook them out gently and then pulled Ava in for a deep kiss.
“How do you want me baby?”
“Riding my face,” Melissa replied with a laugh, “Legs are still a little shaky.”
Ava giggled before sliding up the bed. She brushed away red strands of hair before placing her knees on either side of Melissa’s head. The older woman immediately wrapped her hands around Ava’s thighs, pulling her down onto her eager lips. Ava fell forward hands clutching onto the iron headboard. Melissa didn’t have to work hard to bring Ava to the edge sending broad licks and sucking on her clit. Ava’s whole body shuddered as she finally hit her peak. She went to get off Melissa when she felt the pressure finally release but Mel yanked her back down letting Ava ride the wave until it was dripping down the older woman’s chin.
Ava fell next to Mel, grabbing your tank top and using it to clean the redhead’s face. She threw it across the room, letting it join their pile of clothes. A blanket was pulled up around the two bodies, rapidly cooling down. Melissa wrapped herself around the younger woman placing her head so she could hear the sound of Ava’s heartbeat in her ear. As she caught her breath, Ava moved her fingers through the red locks of hair letting herself settle into the mattress.
“So Y/N,” Melissa said as their breaths finally calmed, “Can we go check on her tomorrow? And maybe talk about… I don’t know how to phrase it.”
“You want to see if she wants to be our girl. Together. The three of us,” Ava suggested squeezing the older woman tighter to her side.
“That doesn’t sound weird right?”
“Well, considering every time we go to McShane’s we shamelessly flirt with her, kiss her, and spend all our time with her even when she isn’t working, I doubt she will find it weird. She is basically our partner anyway just without all the fun stuff,” Ava said with a small laugh.
“Well she definitely needs to be a part of the fun stuff,” Melissa replied and then there was a hitch in her voice, “I never realized that I could have all of these feelings for one person, let alone two. But when she had to leave suddenly, it felt like that moment you got fired. Like the whole world was going to cave in on itself without her. I don’t want to be without her. Or you.”
“And I don’t want to be without either of you,” Ava agreed, “Everyone thinks love has to be this perfect thing with only one person. But there are so many different versions and kinds of love that can not be contained in one relationship or even a friendship. Sometimes that love takes place in more than one person.”
“That is why they give you the big bucks for inspirational speeches,” Melissa hummed and nestled under the blankets.
“I love you Melissa,” Ava said kissing the top of the older woman’s forehead.
Melissa’s response was a snore that made Ava giggle. She lay there for a couple of more moments, her mind wandering to what you were doing. Everything that she hoped for you was the furthest from what was actually happening.
You stood among the ashes of what used to be your apartment. Becca and Tony had fled the scene, and only a police officer was there to greet you. They had been making drugs out of your kitchen, and things have gone south quickly. When the first spark started, everything combusted and nothing could be saved. At least not at first glance. You promised the police officer that you did not know what was going on and as tears welled in your eyes she wished you well. You picked through the rubble to stand it what used to be your bedroom and found the loose floorboard that used to be underneath your bed. You picked at the board covered in ash and found the metal box underneath. It was untouched and you peeled back the lid with a sigh of relief.
A stack of cash you had been hiding from your sister greeted your eyes and you shoved it into your pocket. You pulled out the photo album, fingers tracing over the stitched lettering. Tears dotted the black leather as you reached back in for the final item. A silver token that had shamrock on one side and the words I love you more than all the stars in the sky. Good luck little sis. I am always with you. You kissed the coin before slipping it in your bra. It was the only thing that mattered to you and you had been a fool to leave it out of your sight for one second.
You made your way back to your car hiding the cash within the center console before letting the engine idle as you figured out what to do next. You desperately wished that you could text Ava or Melissa. That you had accepted Mel’s offer and let them come with you. All you really wanted was to be held and told it would be okay. Instead you found a parking spot behind a shopping center away from the main road and curled up in the backseat of your car. You fell asleep, tears still running down your face.
~-~
Melissa and Ava had attempted to go back to McShane’s the following day but were unable to as a crisis sprung up at Abbott that required both of their attention. This led to a couple weeks of preparing for the meeting with the district and the community pulling together to give Ava her job back. In the urgency of it all you hadn’t been forgotten necessarily just pushed to the side. For every time that Melissa and Ava tried to make it to the bar something else pulled them back. However as Ava placed her stuff back in her old office she knew that today was the day.
They drove to the bar humming along to the songs on the radio but when they pulled into the parking lot everything was different. A new sign hung over the door Hot Spot with a girl in a red bikini outlined on the backdrop. Melissa didn’t even wait for Ava to turn the car off before she ran in the door. She only calmed down when she saw you behind the bar like you usually were. But the comfort only lasted for a minute before she noticed what you were wearing. Gone were your corsets, vests, tank tops, and tight jeans, always in the colors black or grey. Instead in a red bikini top that left little to imagination and jean shorts that cut half way over your ass. Fingernails no longer painted red and black but a bright pink that seemed unnatural.Your rings which you always wore absent from your hand. Your hair was up in a high ponytail not a single strand out of place. The only thing that remained the same was the anchor necklace you wore around your neck.
There was a frown on your face as you moved from person to person taking drink orders. The usual light in your eyes is gone and replaced by a void of all emotion. Melissa rushed over to their usual spot at the bar, grabbing for your wrist. You went to yank away but you stopped when you realized it was her. Tears sprung in the corner of your eyes as you took in the sight of the older woman and Ava hot on her heels.
“Baby,” You whispered, “Princess.”
“What happened?” Ava asked looking around the newly revamped space.
“New management,” You sighed, “They made a lot of changes.”
Melissa’s eyes were still locked on yours, “Are you okay sweetheart?”
Before you could respond there was a sharp yank on your ponytail that sent you stumbling backwards. Ava automatically wrapped her arm around Melissa sure that the older woman would jump over the bar to strangle the man herself. You turned to look at your manager anger radiating up your spine.
“You know I have a name right. Y/N. Figure out how to use it and then you don’t have to yank me for my attention,” You spat out.
Your manager merely grunted, “Table 12. Man in the blue tie. Paid a little extra and requested you.”
You shook your head crossing your arms, “I already told you I ain’t doing that shit. This isn’t a strip club and I sure as hell ain’t your prostitue to pimp out. There is not enough money in this world to make me ride old man dick.”
“You are going to do what I tell you to do and shut that fucking bratty mouth for once in your damn life.”
You laughed, crossing your arms, “I don’t take orders from men like you.”
A scream left your lips as he wrapped his fist through your ponytail and pulled you to the ground. You fought against him as he dragged you across the floor and around the corner. Ava didn’t stop Melissa this time as she broke free and ran behind the bar. She leaned next to the ice machine and pulled the metal bat that she knew you kept tucked underneath there. Heels pounded against the tile as she chased after you. Ava dug in her bag, pulling out her laptop and typing frantically. Phone pressed between her ear and shoulder, she made various phone calls. The other people in the bar merely watched on like it was dinner and a movie.
Your manager had hauled you to your feet, throwing you into the office where your heel finally broke and your ankle twisted. Pain radiating up your leg you fell into the desk papers spilling as you tried to dig your nails into the side for purchase. You could barely breathe when the first hit came. To him. At the hands of Melissa.
You turned just in time to see her bring it back for a second swing that landed on his forearm he was using to protect his face. There was a resounding crack that echoed in the small room. He lunged at Melissa but pure rage filled her body as she fought on. Moving to the side he ran straight into the wall nose colliding with a glass picture frame that shattered. Glass went flying and Melissa turned her face in an attempt to avoid it. However this gave your manager time to take a piece that had fallen at his feet and swiped upwards. He made contact with Melissa’s exposed arm blood immediately dripping down her wrist.
She stared at the blood for a moment before her eyes went black. It was like a switch had been flipped leaving Melissa behind and allowing a monster to take over. The bat swung harder landing this time in his ribs. He doubled over in pain and she brought it through with an up swing landing between his legs. He screamed in pain and Melissa cackled a noise so unlike her usual laugh that you flinched. He fell to the floor blood now soaking into his shirt when Melissa raised the bat over her head poised for a killing blow.
“Red! Heel!” You screamed just as she was about to swing.
Melissa turned to look at you and her shoulders immediately went slack. Her green eyes still black you reached your hand out, “There you go Red. It’s me remember? Let me have the bat.”
Melissa turned to growl at the man on the floor debating if she wanted to surrender her only weapon. You tried to stand up to grab it from her but any pressure on your ankle made you hiss in pain. At the sound of your clear discomfort, Melissa rushed towards you. Bat still clutched in her hand tightly she wrapped one arm protectively around you. You moved your hands to cup her cheeks looking straight into her eyes.
“I know you are in there baby,” You whispered, “He isn’t worth it okay? Just give me the bat and come back to me.”
Melissa closed her eyes shut tight as if willing the monster back into its cage. You grabbed the bat, sighing in relief as it was released easily. You dropped it on the floor leaning to kiss the older woman on the forehead. She paused for a moment before opening her eyes. The usual green back but now filled with tears.
“I am okay baby, I am okay,” You reassured her wiping away at the few that had already escaped down her cheeks, “You saved me. I am safe now.”
“Now you aren’t,” Your manager grunted, wobbling to his feet, “You think I am letting you and your little girlfriend get away with this. No one disrespects me.”
He lifted a gun that had been holsted in his waist band and leveled it at Melissa’s back. You squeezed her close putting her head into the crook of your neck as if that would protect a bullet fired at close range. You heard the click of the trigger being pulled but it was the man who trembled this time. Pressed to the side of his skull was a silver revolver that Ava held with a steady hand.
“You threatened to shoot my girls,” Ava snarled, “No one threatens them and lives to see the next day. Drop the gun.”
Your manager gently placed the gun on the floor a dark spot forming at the front of his jeans. Ava looked at this pitiful excuse for a man and there was a steadiness in her voice as she continued, “You think you are some big hot shot because you control woman and make them bend to your bidding. But you are just some soft privileged asshole. Who has been embezzling money from his dad’s company to create his own nest egg. A nest that is slowly crumbling because you forgot how vindictive your father can be with those who steal from him. You were cut off forced to scrounge together your savings to cut an under table deal to buy this bar. Prove to your dad that you were worthy of the family fortunate. But when he didn’t approve and told you that you were exiled for your actions you murdered him. Thought you covered it up to…but I know where the body is.”
Your manager visibly tensed at this and Ava pushed the gun harder into him, “And this isn't your bar anymore. It’s theirs. To do whatever they would like with. I already called the FBI who should be arriving at any moment so all that leaves is a decision. Do we let you run? Or do we shoot? What do you think boss?”
“Let them chase you like a hungry pack of wolves. So that you may never know a moment’s peace. To let you feel hunted just like the woman you torment every day,” You barked and when he didn't move you yelled, “Run!”
He sprinted out the door running into walls in his haste but it was already to late. The dull sound of sirens blared in the background coming closer. You allowed Melissa to remove her head from your shoulder but she clung to your side as she turned to look at Ava.
“When the hell did you get a gun?”
“I borrowed it. From Marsha,” Ava said and in entered Marsha who took the gun emptying the bullets and restoring it.
She looked at your shocked face, “What I don't got two girlfriends to defend my honor. I have to protect myself somehow.”
You nodded in understanding before she asked, “Everyone cleared out already. So what should we do boss?”
The reality of being boss sunk in and panic rose in your stomach. Melissa was the one to step into your rescue, “Eat dinner. FBI is going to want to question all of us. So buckle in for a long night. Then go home and rest. We will reconvene in two days to discuss the future of the bar. We will pay double your normal tips till we figure out what to do.”
Marsha grinned, “Now this is some shit I could get used to.”
When she left Ava took off her tan trench coat and wrapped it around you. You smiled finally being covered from prying eyes and pulled both of them into a hug, “Thank you for coming back for me.”
“I'm sorry we didn't come before,” Melissa said choking back tears.
“Never again,” Ava promised, “You are ours now and we will never leave you behind like that again.”
“I like the sound of that,” You grinned as Melissa and Ava leaned down to kiss your cheeks.
Hours passed before the FBI concluded their interviews and allowed everyone to leave. During that time you had changed into your normal clothes still keeping Ava’s jacket wrapped around you. One foot back in your black converse and the other wrapped in gauze with an ice pack attached. It was sprained luckily but your mind was already racing with how you were going to be able to drive let alone sleep in the back of your car like this. This train of thought was pointless however as Melissa appeared with crutches she found in the lost and found. Her cut was bandaged and she looked unfazed as her eyes twinkled at you.
“You are coming home with us tonight. I'm not letting you out of my sight for at least 48 hours,” She demanded more than explained as she handed the crutches to you.
You placed them under your arms as Ava reached into your purse and grabbed your keys, “I'll drive your car to Mel’s house and meet you both there.”
A panic looked crossed your face as you remembered what your car looked like. Crammed full of stuff that had kept you living out of it for the past couple weeks while you looked for a new place. You tried to protest but a stern look from Ava silenced you. This is what was happening and this time you weren’t going to deny their help. Not again.
Melissa lead you to their car one hand gently on your back. Once you were loaded in crutches in the back seat Ava leaned down to kiss your forehead. She shut the door gently and then took Melissa into a hug. You watched their easy intimacy as Melissa kissed the younger woman deeply. When they parted ways Ava winked at the red head who blushed. Once in the car Bon Jovi filled the speakers and Melissa tangled her fingers in yours.
“I'm so sorry,” was all she said as she started towards her house.
“Baby,” You said squeezing her hand, “You are here now. That is what matters. There is no need to apologize.”
Melissa lifted your hand to kiss your palm her anxiety soothed for the moment. The inside of Melissa’s house was exactly what you expected. Cluttered with pictures and plants across every available surface. Leftover smells from the dinner she had made hours earlier. Her kitchen in immaculate shape with copper pans hanging over a marble island. It was busy but cluttered in a way that was organized and you could understand how someone could fall in love with space.
“Can I get you something? Anything at all?” Melissa asked pacing the kitchen rearranging already perfectly set spices.
“Get this damn make shift cast off so I can take a shower.”
“You are keeping that on for 48 hours like the medics told you,” Melissa tutted, “But I'll show you a trick Nonna used for me when I broke my ankle as a kid.”
She grabbed a trash bag and roll of duct tape from underneath the sink and with a jerk of her head you followed her. She kept one arm under your shoulder as you jumped up her stairs. You could hear her mumbling under her breath that she always knew these stairs were going to screw her over one day. It was cute to see her fretting over you already.
Once upstairs she stopped in the master bathroom and there was a pink blush to her cheeks, “I can…uh… I can leave while you get undressed if you want.”
“You won't take the cast off so you sure as hell are going to help me get these pants over it,” You joked and with a small jump got onto the bathroom counter.
Melissa shook her head mumbling stubborn ass as she approached you. She unbuckled your jeans and you lifted your hips up to help her. She pulled your jeans down stopping as the waistband hit just above your knees. She looked up at you pupils wide.
“Really no underwear?”
You shrugged, “Too many layers.”
Melissa’s face was now a bright red but she continued her mission doing her best to pull the jeans off your leg as gently as possible. You hissed a couple times but breathed a sigh of relief when they were finally a puddle on the floor. Melissa went to move out the room but you grabbed her hand pulling her back to you.
“You forgot clothes.”
Melissa took a deep breath, her fingers sliding underneath your shirt and pulling it upwards. Once it joined your pants on the floor you reached into your bra pulling out the silver token. You extended it out to her a small shake in your movements.
“Can you put this somewhere safe for me? I can’t lose it.”
Melissa didn't ask questions only promised she would and then pulled off your sports bra. You sat on the counter completely naked in front of her and all of her self constraint snapped. She rushed forward lips smashing with yours and you moaned. Fingers finding their way into red curls as you pulled her closer to you. Everything was going well until she moved and your ankle bounced against a drawer handle. You swore and Melissa pulled away in a panic.
“Oh shit I'm sorry I didn't mean to hurt you,” She rushed getting pulling your leg away from the drawer.
“The pain was worth it for that kiss,” You grinned and Melissa rolled her eyes.
“Shower then sleep for you. It’s been a long day.”
“More kisses tomorrow?” You pouted, sticking out your bottom lip.
“Tomorrow precious,” Mel promised, “Now let me fix this.”
She ruffled the trash bag open, pulled it up and tight around your knee. She wrapped duct tape around the top sealing it off from any water. You looked down laughing as she admired her work.
“You serious?”
“Dead serious. We were too poor for a real cast covering so Nonna improvised. Just be glad you only got that make shift one for two days. I had mine for 2 months. Many a trash bag was wasted for my showers,” Melissa explained,“You think you good to shower and I'll get you some clothes?”
You nodded and Melissa exited the bathroom. Once the door clicked closed behind her she released a shaky breath. She was about to go back in when Ava’s laughter filled the room.
“Caved first didn't you?” She asked with a quirking an eyebrow as she held out her palm.
“Fuck off,” Melissa grumbled and dug out a twenty to give to the younger woman.
Ava grinned but pulled Mel in by her hips, “Are you okay baby?”
Melissa sighed running a hand through her hair, “I'm okay I think. Pissed that it had to happen at all. We should have been there for her but life just kept getting in the way.”
Ava nodded in understanding guilt clawing at her own stomach, “Never again.”
She hugged Melissa tightly, kissing her forehead. She only pulled away when her phone rang. Looking at the number she moved to leave the room, “Have to officially wrap tonight up but I will be back soon.”
Melissa nodded digging through her drawers to find you clothes. She settled on an oversized Beatles shirt and a pair of boxers. You were out of the shower towel wrapped around you as she entered the room. Your wet hair fell in curly loops around your back and Melissa swore that this was the first time she saw you without makeup. Face clean eyes shining brighter than usual. You looked absolutely gorgeous but also exhausted.
"Here are your clothes," Melissa smiled and pointed at your necklace, "You always wear that even in the shower?"
You pulled the anchor up holding it in your hand getting lost in a memory before replying, "Yeah. My sister Bridget always told me that it would hold for a lifetime because she put her love into every chain and a sister's love never breaks."
"Sounds like an amazing sister."
"She was...she was," You gulped, "Is it okay if I go lay down for a minute? My leg is starting to hurt."
Melissa suppressed a sigh watching as the door you had started to open slammed shut once again. She nodded a response and moved out of your way. You navigated your way out with your crutches as Melissa looked at herself in the mirror. There were small flecks of dried blood on her face that she hadn't noticed and the bottom of her shirt was stained from where she had wrapped her cut. Moving to unroll the bandage she put the blood soaked cloth into the garbage can. The bleeding had already stopped with the cut beginning to close. It could have been worse she knew but she wouldn't have changed her actions for the world. She could release the monster to protect the ones she loved. It was the coming back from it she struggled with but you had done it so easily. Not letting her sit in the darkness of her mind for long. She could still see the glint of dark in her eyes as the monster tried to reach out but she ignored it and got into the shower.
Back in the bedroom you were about to go through the door when Ava opened in stopping you, "Where you going angel?"
"To find some place to lay down. It's all finally catching up to me."
Ava pointed behind you, "You are going the wrong way the bed is behind you."
"That is your and Melissa's bed. I can..."
"Plenty of room for all three of us. Go get comfortable," Ava said in the voice you learned left no room for argument.
She pulled back the covers and helped you shimmy into the middle of the bed. Placing the crutches against the night stand she leaned down and kissed you. The opposite of Melissa's hard and desperate kiss, this was soft and deliberate. A controlled movement that was so Ava that you didn't hesitate to open your mouth when her tongue swiped your lower lip asking for access. Your senses overloaded until she finally pulled away.
She kissed your forehead gently before pulling the blanket back up around your chest, "Get some rest sweetheart. You are safe here."
You merely nodded attempting to keep your eyes open as Ava pulled off her dress to reveal a navy blue lingerie set that hugged her dark skin. But soon the exhaustion caught up to you and you fell back against the pillow mind going blank.
A couple moments later Melissa emerged from the bathroom her wet hair making large splotches across her blue shirt. She moved to Ava who had just pulled on an Eagles shirt. The younger woman wrapped Melissa against her and they both turned to look at you.
"How can someone look so tired while sleeping?" Melissa asked looking at the furrow of your brow.
"Pretty sure she has been sleeping out of her car for weeks,"Ava admitted.
"Our poor angel," Melissa commented moving to the bed.
She curled herself around your back wrapping a protective arm around your hips. You didn't stir merely pressed closer to her as a snore escaped your lips. Ava crawled across from Melissa facing towards you. She cupped your cheek gently rubbing her thumb against your soft skin.

You had just left Ava to Gregory and Janine to figure out how to save her district presentation that you had already spent weeks bothering her to fix. Melissa and you had encouraged her to work on it to show her true, authentic side, but Ava had put up walls instead. You knew when it was your time to step out and let someone else try and rationalize with her. You went to seek out your other girlfriend to give her a heads up when you found her storming out of Barbara’s room. He hair was flying behind her as her heels clicked against the tiles. Running to catch up to her, you cornered her right inside her classroom.
“Angel, what is going on?” You asked, grabbing her hand gently.
“Nothing, absolutely nothing,” She huffed, folding her arms.
You quirked your eyebrow, grabbing her hips gently, “Angel, I just watched you storm down the hall without bending your knees. Something is wrong.”
“It was just something Barbara said that really rubbed me the wrong way,” Melissa sighed, “Can we just not talk about it right now? The little eagles are almost done with gym and I just need to process it for a bit.”
You relented, still holding her hips lightly, “Is there anything I can do for you now? You still got that little anger crease in your forehead.”
“You are such an ass for that. You are so lucky, I love you,” Melissa laughed, shaking her head, “Now give me a kiss.”
You pulled her in by the loops of her pants, and she cupped your cheeks gently. You still felt the electric spark every time that you kissed the older woman. Even after months of dating, it felt like coming home. When she pulled away, she placed her forehead against yours. Her breath was ragged, and she took a moment to hold you there.
“How you still leave me breathless, baby?” Mel whispered, and all you did was giggle, “How is our other girl doing? Still worried about the presentation.”
“Could be better. She is completely freaking out,” You admitted, still holding Melissa.
“We tried but we have to let her make her own mistakes,” Melissa sighed making you laughed, “What is funny?
“You realize that I am the youngest out of the two of you, right?”
“Yeah but you got an old soul and that is what we love about you,” Melissa grinned kissing your forehead again.
You laughed again only moving away when the bell rang, “I’ll see you after school Angel.”
After school you were busy grading papers when you heard Ava’s heels clicking down the hall. She stopped leaning against your doorway with a cocky smile that melted your heart, “Let’s get Angel and get out of here Baby. I need a little stress relief before the big presentation tomorrow.”
“What you have in mind?” You said, quirking your brow.
Ava stalked over to you with a fire in your eye. She leaned over your desk so her lips were just above the shell of your ear, “You naked in our bed. Tied up. While Mel…”
“Yeah I heard enough we are going,” You pushed away from your desk and grabbed Ava’s hand dragging her into the hall.
Melissa was already waiting with a cocky grin on her lips. You groaned, looking at the redhead, “She got to you first, didn’t she?”
“Where do you think the tied-up idea came from?” Melissa laughed, causing you to roll your eyes.
Since the halls were empty with all the other teachers having left for the day you grabbed Melissa with your other hand and pulled them both down the hall. They spent the whole drive in the front seat of Melissa’s car swapping ideas of what the night would hold. You squirmed in the back seat, hoping your body would be able to keep up.
~-~
You arrived at the district meeting the next day driving in Melissa’s car. Ava had already gone to prepare with Gregory and Janine leaving you alone with the redhead. Everyone was used to you and Melissa's “friendship” but the level of the relationship and the parts you shared with Ava had been kept under wraps. It was complicated enough to be dating a coworker but to then also be dating the boss…it was a lot. You were fine with the sneaking around letting it add another layer of excitement. Ava and Melissa reminded you every day, multiple times a day, that they loved you, and that is all you really needed.
When you entered the building, Melissa peeled off to talk to Barbara, giving you a small pat on your back. You wandered over to Jacob, falling into small talk till the presentation started. You listened through the door, beaming at Ava’s presentation ending. With one eye you kept a watch over Melissa as she talked heatedly to Barbara.
“Did you…Did you shake someone down for me?” Melissa asked.
Barbara grinned, “I shook someone down for us, ya big gabootz. Guboonza? Garbanzo.”
“That’s a bean but I guess thank you for trying,” Melissa said with a sigh.
“Why are you still upset? I did what you wanted.”
“That’s why, because you are acting like I forced you into this decision. You don’t like playing in the mud remember?” Melissa scoffed and then turned on her heel.
You watched as the redhead rushed from the event center before you could catch her. Barb was in the corner still looking stunned after whatever conversation had transpired. You debated going after her when Ava approached you. A disappointed look was hidden underneath her usual mask. She stopped a foot away from you but you could see the desperate plea in her eyes. She wanted out of here. Somewhere she could curl up with you and Melissa and fall apart in peace. Away from prying eyes of coworkers and the judgement of the district.
"Where is Angel? I am ready to go back home," She asked quietly the nickname slipping out her mouth with practiced ease.
She looked around frantically but everyone was distracted in their own conversations to have noticed the slip-up. You nodded towards the door, "Left that way after talking with Barbara. I don't think she is doing much better than you right now."
Ava sighed and with a gentle hand on your back ushered you towards the door, "Let's go get her."
Once outside the door and around the corner you reached out to Ava lacing your fingers through hers. She squeezed them gently giving you a small smile, "I'm sorry I really fucked up in there. Maybe I am not cut out for this job."
"You did great Princess. You are a great principal. Those district assholes just don't know how to do their jobs," You reassured her and pointed as you spotted Melissa, “There she is.”
Melissa was sitting in the grass back against the hard concrete wall. She was staring up at the clouds a lit cigarette dangling from her lips. She took a long drag before letting it out in a puff of practiced smoke. Melissa is what you nicknamed a stress smoker. Never kept a cigarette on hand but knew how to bum one from someone if she needed to dull an uncontrollable rage. It had been months since her last one.
You let go of Ava's hand so she could plop down dress and heels be damned next to Melissa. You slid in on the other side of the redhead. You rested your head on her shoulder and she moved her hand to grab your thigh. Without even realizing it she began to trace small patterns into your jeans. Ava plucked the cigarette from her fingers placing it against her own lips.
"What's got you upset Angel?" She asked before taking a hit and gave it back to the older woman.
She watched the end burn for a moment flicking away the ashes, "Barbara said she leaves playing in the mud to people like me. Like I'm some scum criminal off the streets. I do this stuff for the kids ya know? I'm not as shady as everyone thinks."
"We know Angel," you promised leaning in to kiss her cheek, "You care more about those kids than anyone."
"Then she goes and blackmails the lady for the grant and acts like she did it for us. It just makes me feel gross. Like I'm corrupting the perfect Christian Barbara Howard."
Ava was holding the cigarette between her fingers as she scoffed, "She ain't perfect Mel. None of us are. You didn't force her to do anything."
Melissa lets out a long sigh, "Think I was wrong?"
"About being hurt? No. That shit she said was rude," Ava said stomping the butt of the cigarette out with her heel, "But you should probably give her some slack for what came after. She tried to make it right in her own way and she came through for the kids. More than I could."
"That bad huh? Should have got a second cigarette," Melissa joke and Ava chuckled.
"You know I heard they got bottomless mimosas at that bistro on the corner. How about I treat my girls to brunch?" You said standing up with a mischievous smile, "You both need it after the day we had."
Melissa and Ava exchanged a look before accepting your outstretched hands. Ava gave you a gentle kiss before looping her arm through yours, "I knew we picked right when we chose you."
"What would we do without you?" Melissa smiled pulling you in for a kiss of her own.
"Be utterly lost," you giggled lacing your free hand through Melissa's.
The three of you walked in sync down the street. Ava's heels clicking one side of you. Melissa's boots thudding on the other side. The sound of shoes mixing in with their laughter so loud you didn't hear Barbara calling out to the three of you.
She caught up with you over an hour later when her and Gerald walked in to try the new restaurant they heard so much about. They had just sat down when she saw you pulling Melissa away from an abandoned mimosa. Ava was wrapped around you her head nuzzled into your neck. You looped your free hand around Melissa’s waist pulling her in with a laugh.
“Y/N? Ava? Melissa?” Barbara called across the restaurant and you turned to look at her with a relieved smile.
You pulled both of them over to the older woman. The giggled every step of the way Ava clinging to your hip refusing to let you take a step without her. Melissa’s arm was loop through yours so she could be pressed close to you. You stopped in front of Barbara looking in betwen the two clearly drunk woman. There was no anger in you gaze just a glimmer of humor and love.
“Barbara, can you help me? These two drunkards need to go to the bathroom but this is only a one person stall. And last time I tried to leave one at the table they took off and started stealing drinks from other tables.”
You gently unlooped Melissa from your side and placed her next Barbara. She let out a small pout until Ava leaned over and kissed her hard on the lips. Barbara’s pupils dilated as you rolled your eyes. Of course Ava would be the one to spill the secret that way. Melissa turned to you next a small pout forming on her lips.
“You act like I am going to leave you for years,” You joked leaning in to kiss her, “Me and Ava will be right back.”
“Hurry,” Melissa let out with a humpf.
There was awkward silence at the table while Gerald excused himself to take a phone call. Barb knew Melissa was PESCA level drunk with the red in her cheeks and the lightness to her attitude. She replayed the conversation from the meeting and was determined to make it right.
“So Ava?” Barbara asked trying to bridge the gap between her and her best friend, “And Y/N?”
Melissa beamed, “Those are my girls. Loves of my life. Other half of me.. well I guess my other thirds.”
Barbara smiled shyly excited to see Melissa so excited but part of her was crushed. She didn't think her and Melissa kept secrets. Especially not about something this important, “How long?”
“Bout six months,” Melissa said and looked away from Barbara’s face knowing all too well what came next.
“Why didn't you tell me?”
“I was gonna when things got real serious I thought about it so many times. I even checked with the girls and everything but then you said you leave playing in the mud to people like me,” Melissa shrugged, “That really fucking hurt. I didn’t want this to be one more thing I got judged for.”
“I'm so sorry Melissa,” Barbara said taking the other woman’s hand, “I should have never said that to you. All you ever do is help our kids and make sure they have everything they need. You are absolutely an amazing human and teacher. I'm the one who couldn't get my head out of the sand.”
Melissa smiled, “We done fighting now so I can tell you all about my girls?”
Barb nodded and listened with a grin as her best friend told her everything that happened over the last six months. When you returned with Ava she immediately stood reaching out for you. If there was one thing Barb knew about drunk Melissa was that she was clingy. Not overtly like Ava who practically molded herself to you but in a more discreet way. She wanted to be cared for. Always have her people where she could see them. And now that you were back there was an ease in her shoulders.
You smiled at the redhead and the older woman, “Y’all okay now?”
“Yes we are,” Barb smiled, “You doing okay?”
You nodded and tried to let go of Ava’s hand to let her sit at the table.
“No no no,”Ava pouted gripping your hand, “Mine.”
“Look while I take Angel to the bathroom Barb can hold your hand,” you said with a nod to the older woman.
Barb reached for Ava’s free hand and squeezed it gently, “I'm a sorry replacement for your girl but I won't let you go.”
Ava relented as she went, “Girl! Your hand is so soft what lotion do you use?”
You laughed before looping your arm through Melissa’s and guiding her towards the bathroom.
“She wanted to tell you for awhile,” Ava said randomly, “But I was scared. Of how real and serious it felt. I figured if she didn't tell you we could pretend it was just something fun we were trying out. That is so far from the truth though. I love them. Both of them. So much it hurts sometimes.”
“You better not hurt either of them. Especially Melissa. I have been trying to get her back out there after Joe for years. You hurt her and I'll use Melissa’s bat on you.”
“I don't plan on it,” Ava admitted, “I'm trying to do better by them. By everyone at Abbott. Today was not a great reflection of that.”
“We always have next time. Don't give up yet.” Barb reassured her.
It was the most candidly that Ava had ever talked to the older woman. Not a smart ass comment or joke anywhere just honesty and vulnerability. That is when it finally clicked for Barbara. How the three of you balanced each other out inside and outside of work. The relationship that y’all had built revealing layers of Melissa and Ava that had been hidden for years. She was still holding Ava’s hand when Melissa came running over with you following searching in your pocket for your keys.
“Let’s go back to my house princess,” Melissa said helping Ava up from her chair before turning to Barb, “Game night soon? With all of us.”
“I would really like that. Be safe all of you.”
“Are you sure you got them?” Gerald asked with a small laugh as Ava finally admitted defeat and held her heels in one hand.
“Yes I am all too familiar with drunk tweedle and dee. We will get home have a dance party and then they will want to nap,” You said with a laugh letting Ava curl back up against your side.
“I'm tweedle,” Melissa commented, “Or am I dee?”
You shook your head with a laugh giving the redhead a kiss on the cheek.Everyone said their goodbyes and then you were outside walking back towards the car. You stopped at the crosswalk looking at Ava before sighing, “Hop on.”
Ava did hesitate to hike her dress up around her thighs. She handed her heels to Melissa before circling her arms around your neck. You reached back and helped Ava wrap her legs around your hips. Once she was settled she smiled laying her head against her back.
“I a koala,” She joked and Melissa let out a large bark of laughter.
“I'm next,” the older woman said between the click of her camera.
Once back to the car Ava and Melissa climbed into the back seat making you the designated chauffeur. You even stopped at McDonald's to get Melissa french fries and a McFlurry for Ava. They were all smiles and laughs the stress from earlier washed away by the time you pulled into Melissa’s driveway. You looked back at them with a soft smile. Your girls being happy was all you needed.
“We both feeling better after brunch?”
“Yes, but you know what would make this day even better?” Melissa asked with a grin.
“Dance party!” Ava yelled and everyone scrambled from the car.
Once inside music instantly began to spill from the living room speakers. Melissa and Ava were screaming the lyrics to Her by Megan Thee Stallion because of course Ava had gotten the redhead addicted to her music. You used this time to gather clothes for everyone.You and Ava shared a dresser drawer where you kept a small selection of clothes for when you spent the night. You pulled on your favorite tshirt and a pair of shorts. A purple silk top and short set for Ava. A long loose Eagles shirt and boxers for Melissa.
You made your way into the living room turning down the music to get the women’s attention. You held out their clothes, “Ava that is the last set you have here. I'll text you to bring more next time.”
“Or you both could just bring all your stuff,” Melissa said casually but you caught the blush in her cheeks.
“You want us to move in with you?” Ava stopped with her shirt already off and dangling in her hand, “You sure you want us all up in your business all the time?”
“You are already up in my business all the time anyways,” Melissa retorted tossing her own shirt to the other end of the living room, “Plus what sense does it make to place rent for three places?”
“We could use the extra money to actually take a trip together,” You suggested.
“I'm in,” Ava grinned, “But only if we get to go to Jamaica.”
“You know we can't go to Jamaica without Barb.”
“Who said we were leaving her behind? Splitting a townhouse between five of us would be great since we only need two bedrooms,” Ava replied already scrolling through places on her phone.
“Can we answer my original question please?” Melissa practically yelled and you could hear the tremor of anxiety in her voice.
You and Ava were immediately by her side pulling her into a hug. You pushed a strand of hair behind her ear, “Of course we will move in with you Angel.”
“There is no where else I would rather be,” Ava said kissing down the redhead’s neck before gently biting down on her pulse point.
Melissa let out a small whimper, “Bedroom now.”
You woke up hours later with a jump from a bad dream. The bedroom lay in darkness but you were immediately calmed by the two bodies pressed against yours. Melissa’s head was on your shoulder arm casually across your bare chest. She was snoring with her mouth slightly open. Ava was practically on top of with a leg over yours and her arm holding both you and Melissa. You smiled and sank back into the pillows. This was the life.
