shimmerandsing | Promise kept.

After a night of ups and downs -- if she were entirely truthful, it was a lot more downs than ups -- Alison made good on her promise to her mother-in-law. She started out early. The babies were fed and kissed, and her husband snuggled thoroughly. It had almost given her time to talk herself out of leaving, but in the end, the jonin had gently nudged her out the door.

The trip required several portal hops through the Nexus. Instead of an Italian spa, Natasha had chosen an American spa in New York for Alison's gift. It was a good choice. Alison would have had a difficult time relaxing in Italy without speaking the language. And it was nice to see the States again. She hadn't realized that she missed the familiar sights and sounds.

The spa people had their work cut out for them, though. Alison was about as tightly wound as she had ever been. Getting her relaxed and happy was a task that usually only Longshot managed. And he did it with techniques that the people at the spa were not allowed to use.

Despite her reluctance and hesitance, she found herself relaxing as she received the full spa treatment. First, she enjoyed a full body massage. Even ger toes got some attention. That had been the part she didn't think she'd like, but once it started she melted right into the table. Longshot's were better, but it was also nice to get a rub down without any sexual expectations at the end. In fact, the only expectation at the end of the massage was a long soak in an herb infused hot tub.

Over the next few hours, Alison was pampered within an inch of her life. Her hair was trimmed and highlighted. She got a manicure and a pedicure; a facial and a make-over. Even an acupuncture treatment. She wasn't afraid of the needles anymore. Once every conceivable treatment had been lavished on her, she finally emerged into the afternoon sun. It was on the edge of her mind to head for home, but the day was only half over and she had been told to take it for herself, so... shopping!

It was nice to wander the mall and spend some time just looking. Window shopping was a lost art. Eventually, she found some new clothes that she had to have. And some toys for the babies. Well, she couldn't completely forget them all day, after all. Not even if she tried. Nor could she stop thinking about her husband. She wondered if he was thinking about her? He said he would miss her today. She'd have to find him something, too. Hmmm.

Ah, wait. She had the perfect idea. And she knew right where to find it.

The walk home took a bit longer than the trip to the spa. Mostly because she was enjoying the early evening air and the slow sunset. She was never without light, so the night didn't worry her. But, she wanted to get home before too late. No need to worry anyone.

She hummed softly to herself as she mounted the steps to the front door and opened it. As she toed off her sandals in the entryway, she called out, "I'm home!"

She laughed again and nodded. "Yes, you probably would have. Especially since I was naked in the herbal bath."

He definitely would not have let her relax then. Although, she doubted she would have minded, under the circumstances.

"Dunno. That herbal bath could have made me sleepy and floppy." No sex when he was floppy. It would be like shooting pool with a rope. He nuzzled her neck.

One of his hands trailed down and grabbed the side of her cheek. He couldn't get the whole thing though. Darnit.

"You're fun when you are sleepy and floppy, too, though." She reminded him. He was all snuggly and cute then. She liked those moments.

She laughed when she felt his hand grabbing at her. She wiggled her hips to let his hand slide under for a better grip. Although, the hand was going to be stuck there when she settled again, so she hoped he was comfy.

"I think you have a weird sense of fun." Coming from a Mojoworlder, that was something.

HAHA! HAND FULL OF CHEEK! He would not mind hand trapping. He could still squeeze with his fingers.

"So, what does the best and most beautiful wife in the world need?" He wiggled against her. He still had more snuggles to go, but today was her day. Unofficially or something.

"Maybe," she laughed. "But you love me anyway."

Longshot's fascination with her butt would never cease to amuse her. Or puzzle her. It was just her butt. But, he loved it so. She wouldn't deny him. It made her giggle.

"Hmmmm... dunno if I'm the best and most beautiful, but a bubble bath sounds nice. We can play with your new bath toys."

"Yes. You are," he replied firmly. Then he nipped her ear lobe. Because it was just begging for his teeth. "We can take a bath..."

He slid a little lower on her. "... just have to make sure you're ready."

He tilted his head and sucked gently on her throat. This was definitely the way to make sure her butt was ready to be written on.

Alison chuckled. It seemed that he wasn't going to change his mind on the subject. His confidence in her felt really good.

So did his lips on her skin. She sighed softly and squirmed against him. She wasn't sure how this was supposed to be getting her ready for a bath, but she wasn't about to complain.

Longshot just needed to taste each and every part of his wife to make sure she was ready for a bath. He slowly worked his way down from her neck. His lips and tongue assessing how much each body part needed a soak.

Though by the time he got to her belly button, Longshot decided to add 'tasty' between best and beautiful.

Oh, she was ready. And getting more and more ready every second. Although, a bath was less on her mind now. Staying in bed and letting him continue on with all the tasting he wanted sounded like fun, too.

"Enjoying yourself?" She murmured and stroked his hair softly as she watching him lick her belly button.

"Mm-hm." What wasn't to enjoy when you had a naked gorgeous woman devoted to you? Especially when she was under you? He lapped against her bellybutton because there was no stopping that. Then he proceeded to go lower.

He didn't linger too long in his tasting below her navel. They would never get into the bath tub that way. Though a little teasing to get her enticed was always good. He kissed and sucked around the terminally distracting spot and moved lower.

So very distracting! Alison was squirming nicely by the time he got to her thighs. The bath had already been forgotten. She'd be hard pressed to think about anything other than Longshot at the moment.

Perhaps that was his plan all along? Hmmm...

Once Longshot got to a point where his spine would not bend any further, he slowly pulled his mouth away from Alison's skin. He gave her a slightly cocky grin.

"Gonna follow me to the bathroom?"

Depending on if she pounced him or not. But his bath crayons were calling him!

"You made my legs not work," she mock-pouted. "I think that means you should have to carry me."

Not that she was angling for another trip in her hubby's arms. Oh, no! Besides, if she got that close to him, she could kiss away that smug look on his face. Muhahaha.

"Alright, but I'll have to pick you up butt first." He squeezed with his trapped hand. Then he proceeded to try to lift her up that way. He didn't have enough leverage in the current position to do anything more than strain.

So he moved around and got his other hand in the action, groping her breast along the way. Then it was a LIFT! With a grunt.

Alison laughed the whole time he was 'trying' to pick her up. She was heavier than him in bone structure alone. Sometimes it was a sore point for her, but she wasn't letting it bother her today. She knew he was just being silly. And, to be fair, she was pinning his hand with her butt.

Once she was in his arms, she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him for all she was worth.

MMMMM. KISSING! Since Longshot thought his wife was worth a gajillion dollars, that was a pretty big kiss. Almost distracting enough that he would not try to go toward the bathroom. Also, a part of him would start poking her in the back if he weren't careful.

Though he scooted toward the edge of the bed. He would have to wait for Alison to pick the new stuff out of the gift box.
