Misaki Usui took a deep breath before running headlong in the direction of her husband Takumi.
"This time," she thought. "This time I WILL triumph". In running, cooking, heck even in EMBROIDERY he had been able to better her. But not aikido. This was her thing.
Takumi's casual grin only angered her further. He caught her shoulders just a foot away from his body and twisted her towards him. With one arm he easily held her body around the waist and with the another hand he pushed the hair away from her ear.
"I win again. What does that make it...you nil, me 178?" As she struggled his arm pressed her body closer to his. "So I get to pick what we do again." Misaki cried out angrily but she didn't exactly hate his voice in her ear. And it wasn't as if she didn't like being able to feel his toned abdomen through his thin shirt. Quite the opposite, actually.
"You...perverted alien!" His honeyed chuckle sent sweet shivers down her spine. He gently turned her around and lifted her up with only one arm, as if she weighed nothing.
"Yet I am the perverted alien who you vowed to be with for the rest of your life." His lips prevented Misaki from making a witty comeback and she angled her head instinctively to get better access. Tamaki's mouth moved into a grin as he thought; with the amount of times he kissed her like this it might as well be a reflex action.
"Stop that!" she pushed him away, her cheeks lightly pink and her voice ever so slightly catching in her throat. For a split second Misaki wondered whether Takumi knew the effect he head on women, especially when leaning on a doorframe perfectly showing off his long and lean frame, smiling that smirky smile. Then she regained her sanity; of course he knew. He had probably experimented some pushes and then smiles back in elementary school.
"What if I don't want to?" Misaki tried her hardest not to melt when he spoke huskily . Women ought not to falter with just the sound of a voice.
"SOME of us have to go to work!" Takumi cocked his head and that insufferable grin started to form on his face.
"As head of Walker operations we have all the money we could ever want or need. And if I remember correctly you don't have any pro bono cases scheduled today." He suddenly lunged forward and pinned her against the wall.
"So...let's have some fun today."
