Follow the sound of my heartbeat.
Before Longshot, Robbie and Miyuki had left for camp, Alison had politely, but firmly asked Robbie and Miyuki to find fun diversions in camp. Lengthy ones. She wanted her husband all to herself at least until sunset.
It took about an hour to organize, but when Alison finally retired upstairs, the lights were out and the shades drawn on all the floors. The only illumination came from tiny, floating candles in shallow water dishes placed on every other step on the stairs. One the landing of each floor, she had placed an item for him to find.
On the first floor, at the bottom of the stairs, a CD copy of his favorite French singer's newest album was tied with a gold ribbon. A tag attached to the ribbon read, Follow the lights.
On the second floor, a package wrapped in shiny red paper and silk ribbon. The tag read, Don't open this yet.
On the third floor landing, a second package was wrapped in white, shiny paper and ribbon. The tag read, Not yet. Keep moving.
On the fourth, two long-stemmed wine glasses waited for him.
The candles continued up the stairs to their bedroom. Inside, dozens of red candles of every size were lit in containers all over the bedroom. Spread out in front of the balcony doors was a soft fleece blanket. Several covered dishes were set out on it and two bottles chilled in a bucket of ice.
The tiny, floating candles created a path from the door to the bathroom where rose scented steam rolled out from under the door. Inside, Alison was sitting on the edge of the filled bathtub in a red silk robe. She drew small circles on the tile at her feet with her toe and waited for her husband to arrive. Hopefully, it would be before the food or the water got cold.

And when he was full, he would want his wife again. But he had just been pretty... vigorous. So maybe getting his bag of chocolate up here might be an idea. Miyuki and Robbie probably weren't going to show up for awhile because Makoto had mentioned something about working off sugar highs and night lessons.
That meant he didn't have to get dressed! Yay! He squirmed a little on top of Alison. He wanted to get eating already.

Where did he get all that energy from anyway?
no subject
"Any time. As much as I want. Wherever I want in a big, empty castle." He nodded. Then he looked around for the box of chocolate. Ah ha! He snagged it and dragged it over.
no subject
She smiled at the box with his chocolate hearts in it. "Hope you don't mind just the chocolate and the filling. I was told the cannoli shell wouldn't be proper for the occasion."
no subject
He licked his lips before taking a big bite. He would lick any chocolate crumbs that touched his wife's skin later.
"Mmm!" He had a very blissful face as he closed his eyes and savored one of the best gifts ever.

She smiled and toyed with the ends of his hair lightly as she watched him eat. She didn't have any doubt that his enthusiasm was real. She knew how much he loved his cannolis.
no subject
He knew she wasn't the biggest cannoli fan ever, but he was actually sharing. Instead of hording. Which was his natural impulse when it came to cannoli.
no subject
She took a very small bite when he offered it to her. It actually wasn't bad at all with all that chocolate.
