I'd like to thank JennaTN for giving me this idea!

Beard or No Beard

"Nicky would you do me a favor?" Jackie asked Nick one night as he was getting ready for his shift at the lab.

"Sure, what?"

"Would you shave your beard off for me?" She asked with a grin.

He frowned.

"Why?"

"Because I hate it."

"Why do you hate it? Everyone else seems to like it."

"I don't know why but I hate facial hair, you know that, I just don't think it looks good, plus it tickles when you kiss me, I just don't like it."

"Well I really like it." Nick said, not yet willing to give in.

"I know, and I know I shouldn't ask you to shave it but I really wish you would."

"Well I'll think about it." Nick told her as he took off his sweater and then walked to his closet to find a shirt for work.

"See if you were clean shaven, I'd totally be turned on right now." Jackie said with a grin as she stared at her shirtless husband.

"Oh yeah?" Nick asked with a grin as he walked over to where she was sitting upright on the bed.

"Yeah." She responded.

He grinned as he gently grabbed her arms and lightly pinned them against the headboard. He leaned in and started kissing her neck.

"Stop it." She said with a laugh.

"Nope."

"Seriously, quit, that tickles." She said with a smile.

He laughed.

She managed to get one arm out of his grasp. With her free hand she took and moved her hair to the front of her face.

He stopped kissing her and pulled back.

"See, you don't like having my hair in your face so why would you think I'd like your hair in my face." She said defensively with a grin.

"That is totally different." He told her.

"No it isn't." She said.

He grinned at her, reached over and flicked her hair to the back of her neck and gave her one last kiss before he got up and again walked over to his closet to find a shirt for work.

After he had left for work Jackie went to bed.

The next morning was Saturday morning which meant she didn't have to get up for work so she slept in a little.

"Jackie." She heard softly the next morning.

She flinched as her eyes flew open.

"It's ok, it's just me." Nick told her with a smile.

He was leaning over her.

As soon as she could focus she noticed something.

"You shaved." She said with a huge smile.

"Yes I did, boy the things I do for you." He said as he leaned in and started kissing her lips and this time she didn't object.

She then noticed something else. He was once again shirtless.

"Nice bod babe." She said with a grin.

"Thank you." He with a smile.

He once again gently pinned her arms back and as he started slowly kissing her neck he thought to himself "Sometimes it really pays off to listen to what she wants."

The End!

I know this is short but hopefully it's worth the read!
