Hey guys! Sorry that you haven't heard from me in ages but I was either busy with school-crap or talking too much to Cohenwannabe (are you feeling guilty, hon?). So I know you are probably waiting for updates to my other stories but I watched Pretty Woman and then the O.C. and had an idea hehe. Do you remember Season 3 - the lucky-tie-scene?

"Baby have you seen my lucky tie?"

"Got it dry-cleaned for you".

"Oh, you are an angel" :D

I actually wanted this one-shot to be somewhere during season 3 before Sandy got so caught up in the hospital-project-thing… (:

What would've been if Kirsten planned a nice surprise for her one and only??

Enjoy & tell me your opinions please!:)

A little different take on the "lucky tie"

Sandy Cohen decided to get up at 5.30 knowing that he wouldn't get much sleep anymore anyway- at least not after a restless night like this. He had spent all night tossing and turning, wondering what he could do better to make sure that Bill Maryem decided on his, well actually Caleb's, hospital-presentation. He knew that wanting to be successful in this business meant a little bit more than having personality and knowing how to give a moving speech. If he wanted to win this battle, he needed to come up with something… different, something special. He certainly wasn't the guy who blackmails the opposition but he couldn't be his usual softie-self either.

Sighing he swung his legs out of bed and gave the sleeping figure of his beautiful wife a half-smile before he left the room and grabbed his board to hit some waves to clear his head.

-

Kirsten woke up in a bed empty of her husband. She knew she should stop hoping there would be one day he'd actually be in bed with her in the morning like he used to be but she couldn't help but be disappointed every time over and over again. She reached one hand to the side to feel the sheets and she was surprised to touch nothing but coldness. Usually, she woke up at least in a warm bed, because Sandy went surfing right before everyone else woke up, but this morning, he must have gone earlier- and that only meant one thing: Something was bothering him.

Kirsten looked sadly at the clock knowing she should probably get dressed and meet with Julie for lunch so they could discuss their new business idea, but for once she just didn't want to leave before she had gotten her good-morning-kiss. I mean, she, Sandy Cohen's wife, had rights that included a simple good-morning-kiss, hadn't she?

She would've smiled at her own thoughts if she didn't know how serious this question actually was to her these days.

She barely saw her husband and when she did, it was only for a few moments and only in his office when he took a short break from, oh she really didn't want to know what was going on behind closed doors when it included work for the Newport Group. And even then she could never get him to come to bed earlier or to relax for a second which kind of scared her.

Earlier in their marriage, she didn't even need to lift a finger and he could read her eyes. Now, she practically killed herself with all the hints she gave him and he still didn't seem to get it or if he did, which was all the way worse, he didn't try to give her what she wanted.

Kirsten pulled the sheets a little closer to her body, feeling a chill all of a sudden.

She knew this hospital-project was important to him and she respected and supported it but this couldn't be everything. They promised to themselves they'd never let anything get between them again so why should she sit and watch until everything got so bad to the point of no return?

Kirsten Cohen, do something, she told herself and a smile crossed her lips when she spotted the clothes that lay on the chair next to his side of the bed and which he had picked the night before for his important meeting today.

-

Sandy was pretty much annoyed after he fell of his surfboard for the millionth time that morning- this wasn't helping him relax. He used his arms to paddle back towards the beach wishing he didn't have to go to work today at all. Sandy knew that his boys had probably left by now which made his day even worse- he hated when he couldn't see them off and especially these days were important to him seen as he wanted to be by their side when they had to fill out their college folders.

He had so much running through his head that he hadn't had any real time to think about himself or what he really wanted. Deep down he knew he made it harder for himself than it needed to be: He was still worried sick about Kirsten even if he knew he was out of the woods and happy again. He was still worried about Ryan and his relationship with Marissa, not that this was any of his business, but it affected Ryan more or his life than it should. Oh and then there was Seth. He didn't know why but he felt like something was wrong with him and every time he tried to get him to open up, he was interrupted by a phone call or a ringing doorbell.

There was something else that was bothering Sandy about the hospital-project. He wasn't even sure why he was so obsessed with it or the idea of building it. Caleb planned everything and ever normal person knew that Sandy was the complete opposite of Caleb Nichol so why did he do everything to make it a success?

Sandy clearly needed to relax to make his mind up he just didn't know which great surprise was waiting for him at home…

-

Kirsten blushed when she looked at herself in the mirror. She just couldn't believe what she was going to do. Being glad that the boys had already left, Kirsten moved the only clothing she had on from side to side until she liked where it rested on her body. She shook her head whilst opening her make-up bag to put the final touches to her appearance.

Kirsten was determined to make this perfect, for her sake and his.

She looked one last time at her CARTIER watch before putting it off and laying it next to her other discarded things. It was well past 7 so Sandy should be back soon.

She looked one last time in the mirror thanking god for giving her and her husband some time alone before she left the room and made her way to the chair in the corner of their bedroom waiting for her one and only to come home to his little surprise.

-

Sandy pulled up in their driveway cursing himself for going surfing in the first place. The only result was him being annoyed and even more unrelaxed, lots of wet clothes and him having to take a long shower to get the smell of the salty water off of his body.

Of course Kirsten had always claimed she thought he was most sexy right after surfing and that she liked the light taste of salt on his lips, but that didn't matter since she had probably left for work by now anyway- Another thing that bothered Sandy. He had always been under a lot of stress but there was always something to look forward to and to come home to- his wife. Since he started the new job at the Newport Group, he felt like he had quit the job as her husband. He hated to feel like Caleb Nichol but he did every time he thought about her disappointed eyes when he would come too late for dinner or when he slipped into bed next to her well later than he had promised her.

It wasn't like this hospital was bringing them back to the last year but he really wanted to see her more often. They were happy, yes, but they had definitely too less time for showing each other just how happy and in love they were.

Especially after all the troubles of last year, he wanted to shower Kirsten with words, and actions, of affection without babysitting her like he had done so long after she'd been back from Suriak. He knew he needed to spend more time with her and after the hospital-thing today was over, he'd make sure to do just that. This was the big difference between Caleb Nichol and Sandy Cohen: if he had to choose between being a successful businessman or being a good father and husband, he'd always choose his family.

When he thought about that this was another morning when he wouldn't get to tell his wife how much he loved and missed her, his spirits were dampened immediately.

-

Kirsten heard the click of the door closing and asked herself for the 20th time if she was really doing the right thing. What was if he rejected her? She knew it would make her feel awful, unloved and most of all unwanted. Kirsten Cohen was never someone who was very self-confident in that department but if it was about surprising her husband, she could sometimes surprise herself.

Her throat tightened when she heard quiet footsteps coming up the few steps to their bedroom.

Kirsten knew she'd die of embarrassment if it was not her husband who was going to be the person to find her in that position but she knew as well that she'd blush the second he'd look at her naked, well almost naked, body.

When she heard him pushing the door to their bedroom open, she knew it would only take seconds for him to walk the few steps around the corner and he'd see her. Oh, dear, Kirsten, how do you get in these kind of situations?

-

Sandy was disappointed when he didn't see her Range Rover in front of their house because it only confirmed his worries that she wouldn't be home. After he had thrown his board aside and grabbed his bag he brushed his hand through his wet hair and tried not to sigh in frustration: This was going to be a long day and he was already in a bad mood.

He fumbled with his key for a few moments before he finally managed to unlock the front door. He paid no attention to the fact that the door was still unlocked after everyone left and put his bag down to remove his surfer hoody from his body. Sandy didn't know why he felt the sudden urge to have a cold shower but the air he was breathing felt crispy and made his chest sticky from sweat mixed with sea water all of a sudden.

He decided to leave his abandoned clothes there because he was alone after all and had enough time to put them in the washer before he had to leave for his meeting. Sighing, he passed his office trying to tell himself that he was only imagining the piles of paper on his desk before he went straight to his bedroom to have his well deserved and desired relaxing shower.

-

Sandy Cohen was never someone that got easily speechless. Neither was he a man that could be easily surprised. That was probably because Sandy was married to a woman who was a conservative workaholic and someone he could read so easily. Well, times change, he thought to himself when he finally reached her eyes with his own.

Sandy just couldn't help but drop his keys in pure shock and surprise when he saw her sitting there in the chair. She had one of her elbows resting on the arm of the chair while her legs were crossed very ladylike. Her long hair hung open around her shoulders and he noticed immediately that it more wavy than usual which made her all the way more beautiful if that was even possible for him. He looked her up and down a few times because he simply couldn't help it. For him, everything from her wine-coloured toenails to her gorgeous piercing ocean blue eyes was perfect to him.

His mouth was hanging open already but when he saw what exactly was hanging loosely around her neck and what she was holding with the hand that wasn't resting on her thigh, he thought he had to faint.

"N…n…nice tie" he muttered which were the first words he brought out after he discovered his surprise.

Kirsten grinned at her speechless husband and the deep red flush on her cheeks quickly developed into a light shade of pink.

"I'm glad you like it" she whispered as seductively as she could before she threw the end of the tie over her shoulder so her husband had an unrestricted view to all his wife's intimate areas.

"I…I…I…" Sandy gasped before he could finish or actually even really start to form his sentence.

Kirsten suppressed a giggle when she watched her husband being in total shock.

Well this was definitely the reaction she had hoped she would get: She got all the attention from him a man could give and a woman could get.

Kirsten slowly uncrossed her legs and smirked when she saw a light bulge forming in her husband's shorts. It was the first time she actually realised that he was, in fact, wearing nothing but these shorts.

She relished in her power over him for a few more moments before she slowly got up and walked towards her husband, making sure he saw the sexy sway of her hips when his eyes scanned her slim body.

"I thought you were going to be at work," he whispered though he wasn't sure if she heard the words that came out of his dry mouth.

Sandy's breath hitched in his throat when Kirsten stepped closer and closer to him. He could feel her warm breath on his lips and knew he just wanted to kiss her already.

"I was but then I remembered your meeting today and you can't have a meeting without your…" she started and their blue eyes never lost contact whilst speaking. Before she finished her sentence, she lifted the tip of his tie for him to see "lucky tie".

Sandy couldn't help but grin at her statement but the smirk was quickly wiped of his face and replaced by utter amazement and adoration when he looked down at her body. It was so familiar and safe and so exciting and new for him at the same time.

Kirsten slowly became her usual self-conscious self when she felt his eyes burning trails down her body while he was still being dressed- yep, she definitely needed to change that quickly.

She took another step towards him so their noses were lightly grazing. Kirsten could hear the quickening of her lover's breath and felt her own heart bounding faster in her chest.

Sandy still couldn't quite believe what his wife did and was still doing but he could definitely feel what she was doing to him right this moment. He eventually took action when he placed his hands on her bare hips and rubbed them softly up and down while he inched his face a little closer to hers so his lips could finally touch hers in a soft kiss. Kirsten smiled into the kiss and she realised only then how much she had really missed his kisses, his touches, just him.

Sandy had planned to take this slow to enjoy every single moment with this adventurous wife of his but the moment he felt her small soft lips between his own he felt a desire course through him he hadn't felt in ages- or probably a desire he didn't allow to come out for a while.

Kirsten felt her husband pulling her a little closer to him and she whimpered into his now opened mouth when her hard nipples met his still moist chest and her groin his excited state. The contrast aroused her even further and she couldn't help but deepen the kiss to move this a little forward.

Sandy grinned into her mouth while both his hands wandered up and down her back caressing the soft skin there. What started with gentle, slow strokes quickly turned into firm, rushed ones that showed their growing desperation as well as their passion for one another.

Realising that she was still the only one undressed, Kirsten circled her husband's neck with her arms, being sure to stroke the soft hairs on the back of his head to keep him in that position before she slowly let them slide downwards until she reached the hem of his shorts.

She grinned into his mouth before pushing them down in one swift movement. Sandy was a little startled when the even thicker air now, touched his tip but before long, he stepped out of them to walk Kirsten backwards and towards their bed.

"Baby" a groan escaped his lips when he could feel just how much she had obviously missed him, too.

Now feeling definitely better since she wasn't the woman dressed in a tie surprising her lover anymore but the wife that was about to make love to her husband, Kirsten turned them over right before Sandy had the change to push her on the bed so now he was the one lying underneath her.

Sandy tried to pull her back down to continue kissing her but feeling her reluctant, he settled for her heaving chest.

Kirsten enjoyed the sensation of her husbands full lips placing kisses all over her upper body before she bent down to whisper something in his ear.

Her tickling breath in such a sensitive area alone would've made Sandy moan, but compared to what exactly she was whispering it was nothing.

"Do you wanna see the second part of your surprise?" Kirsten whispered as seductively and patiently as possible.

Sandy couldn't keep the shock out of his eyes when he pulled away from her warm milky skin to raise an eyebrow at her.

Kirsten smiled and a hushed "I'll take that as a yes" escaped her lips. She then forced his hands away from her flushed back to pin them over his head. Sandy was about to protest but he wanted his damn surprise after all.

"Nah Nah Nah, be nice or you won't get to see it" Kirsten warned in a low voice- well, as low as her voice could possibly be.

Sandy couldn't help but smile up at her, totally hypnotized by her gorgeous eyes watching him and her sexy body hovering right above him.

Kirsten was happy with the situation since he didn't even notice that she had untied the tie around her neck. Neither did he move when she used it to tie his hands to their headboard- and she could tell you it wasn't as easy as you think.

It was only when she pulled a little further away from her husband's body to admire her work that it caught his attention.

When reality hit Sandy, he tried to move her hands but winced when he pulled too tightly and the usually soft material cut lightly into his wrists.

"Ouch" he pouted but Kirsten could see that it was his own fault for moving so much and not hers.

"Well I told you to be nice and not to move" she said and grinned at him before she bent down to place some teasing kisses on his lips.

Sandy wanted to place his hands on her body like he'd usually do and it was only then that he realised that his wife had made sure that he wouldn't be able to touch her- and where the hell was the fun in that?

He murmured something against her lips Kirsten couldn't understand but instead of letting him speak for a moment, it was time for her to give him his actual surprise.

She grinned against his skin while her kisses went slowly from his moist lips to his flushed neck, down his lightly sweaty and even sexier than usual chest, down his firm abs until she reached her destination.

By what she could hear from Sandy she could tell that he was enjoying what she was doing as well as knowing what was about to come.

Before long, Kirsten wrapped her kiss-swollen lips around his evident erection and started to work her magic on him, enjoying every single groan from him as well as the feeling of him squirming underneath her.

This was definitely a good idea, Kirsten told herself and pulled away just before he found his desired release.

"Kirsten…" he gasped but she put a finger to his lips before he could continue. "Do you want me to get a second tie for your mouth?" she asked giggling and was rewarded by silence from her one and only.

She crawled back up his body and placed a few sloppy kisses all over his face, teasing him further with her naked body, which he still couldn't touch, right in front of his body.

"Oh please…" escaped his lips but when Kirsten pulled slightly away and arched a single eyebrow at him, Sandy quickly whispered "sorry" and closed his mouth, making Kirsten stifle a giggle.

Kirsten was about to continue her kisses, when she thought about what she had bought ages ago but never showed him because, well, she was Kirsten and not the type to suggest anything but classic love-making between their own sheets.

But if one time was right to show it to him, then certainly this. She climbed off the bed and gave Sandy a look that made it clear for him that he should better keep his mouth shut, before she went over to her side of the bed and bent down to pull something out of her bedside table.

Sandy's eyes widened when he watched his wife standing back up with a… bottle containing golden liquid. What the hell is that? He thought but had a feeling that his question would soon be answered.

Without explaining herself, Kirsten got back on the bed and straddled her lover's waist.

Sandy closed his eyes at the feeling of her wetness mixing with the sweat that covered his whole chest and abs.

He only opened it when he felt his wife pouring cold but surprisingly relaxing liquid all over his chest. It wasn't much, but she quickly used her hands to cover his whole upper body with it.

Sandy looked at her questioningly and Kirsten asked "How does it feel, Mr.Cohen?".

He wondered if she really wanted an answer from him but he used his chance to say something anyway "A…amazing" he said and relished in the feeling of his wife's small hands massaging his tense muscles with the massage oil.

Sandy's reply was rewarded by a grin as his wife continued.

After a while, Sandy stopped paying attention to the feeling of her hands because her slightly moving body on top of his captured his eyes- he had to be married to the sexiest and most beautiful woman alive.

Kirsten felt his eyes on her body and for god's sake, she couldn't deny how much this was arousing for herself but she was determined to keep him at home and mostly in bed with her as long as she could.

When his wife bent a little further down to massage his shoulders, Sandy used the opportunity to bent his head to catch one of her nipples in his mouth, making his wife gasp in surprise as well as pure bliss. Maybe forbidding him to touch me wasn't a good idea at all, Kirsten thought to herself before a sigh escaped her lips.

She knew she should pull back and scold him for breaking her rules but it was just a too good feeling.

Sandy! She gasped when he paid the same attention to her other breast, his warm wetness sucking her nipple slowly harder.

He grinned triumphantly against her skin and didn't even notice how painfully his length hardened between his thighs.

After a few moments Kirsten pulled away from him to look him in the eyes. The moment she saw the lust they held, she bent down and captured his lips in a passionate, desperate kiss which's meaning was unmistakable for Sandy- She wanted him, too.

"Baby, please" he begged her though her lips on his muffled his words.

She pulled away having decided that the teasing and foreplay had definitely gone on long enough.

She slowly lowered the upper part of her body onto his, enjoying the appreciative noises he was making.

Sandy thought he had to die if he couldn't have her right then and there. It felt like ages since the last time they made love and seeing her in this mood definitely didn't help him to keep control of his growing urges.

Just the thought of what was to come made Kirsten feel hot all over. Seeing him lying underneath her with this look of pure passion in his eyes, this almost pained expression plastered across his face every time she touched him and his breathless moans and groans were definitely a turn-on for the usually so conservative – in more than one way and department- blonde woman.

She slowly edged closer to his face while she uncrossed her legs from around his middle so she could lay her whole body flat over his. (Well, as flat as his erection made it possible)

Sandy closed his eyes when he felt her weight adding a pleasurable pressure to his body.

"Kirsten please" he probably begged for the millionth time that morning.

Kirsten smiled and was just about to grant him his wishes when she felt the earlier chill on her back. Maybe it was because she was cold but she guessed it was because the blinds were still open and she was still Kirsten Cohen. So before she let him have her, she pulled the neatly folded sheets which sat at the end of the bed over their bodies and resumed her earlier position.

When Sandy watched her moving he thought he had to cry in frustration- he really needed her. Soon.

He was relieved when she just covered them in a blanket though he was still hot from the weather, surfing and, well, his wife and her new tactics- he felt like suffocating from heat.

Kirsten placed a lingering kiss on his lips feeling his hardness between her parted legs eager to have it inside her. She bent her head so she could reach his ear with her lips.

"Do you want to have the last part of your surprise?" she whispered and softly licked along the tip of his ear before she slowly lowered her lower body onto his until his entire length was inside her.

Sandy groaned when she whispered those words in his ear, knowing that it would only be mere seconds until they were connected.

When the moment finally came, he caught his wife's lips in his to prevent them both from screaming.

Kirsten started moving slowly on top of her husband missing the feeling of his hands on her body. She was thankful for Sandy's action, kissing him back equally desperate and sloppy- neither of them minded anyway.

Kirsten quickened their pace, Sandy's low groans showing her that he was enjoying it.

She felt the bucking of his hips and pulled away from the kiss to throw her head back.

Kirsten and Sandy had imagined their reunion would be good- but not that good.

Sandy felt the throbbing heat between his legs and knew it would be over soon. He tried his best to keep up with her but it was so difficult without him being able to use his hands whilst lying underneath her.

He couldn't help but feeling like the luckiest human being alive when he watched his beautiful wife throwing her head back. He saw how she gripped the sheets next to his head desperately trying to hold on.

They both got closer to the edge rapidly moaning each other's name loudly.

Sandy's hands never stopped pulling at the damn tie but it only loosened when he felt his wife's walls tightening around his shaft. Kirsten screamed out her lover's name still trying to use the rest of her strength to keep moving for him.

Sandy used his last strength to pull one last time at the tie and voilà he could finally move his hands out of it.

He immediately felt himself tighten and used his now free hands to grip his wife tightly.

Kirsten opened her eyes surprised when she felt his strong arms circling her body but she guessed he finally managed to open his tie.

Slightly amused she watched him taking his high but moaned along when she felt the warm flowering at her centre.

She felt never closer to Sandy than she was feeling right then.

After both had calmed their breathing, they sunk together into the pillows.

Kirsten buried her head in his neck and placed a few sweet kisses on his shoulder because she knew their peace wouldn't last long. Soon there would be a ringing cell or worst a ringing door bell.

"Baby"

And there it was. Sandy was probably wrecking his brains for a good excuse to leave her for work right now.

She pulled away to look into his eyes "Yeah".

Sandy's serious face softened into a grin and Kirsten giggled when he quickly turned them around so he was lying half on top of her.

"Now I get to be on top" he told her and she had a toothy smile on her face.

"So… you enjoyed your surprise?" she said but it sounded more like a question than a statement.

Sandy lowered his head to leave a lingering kiss on his wife's soft lips before he laced one of his hands with hers.

"I did" he said amused wondering why she had had doubts he wouldn't have.

He couldn't think of a better surprise.

"Though…" he started to tease her a little bit "I prefer having the tie around my, or well, your, neck instead of my hands" he told her but grinned when she blushed. "Sorry?" Kirsten said but her lips were already covered by his again.

Kirsten pulled away and turned to her side, inviting him to cuddle against her back.

Sandy followed suit and lay close behind her so her back rested against his chest.

They laced their hands and Sandy breathed in her sweet scent, sighing contently.

When he went surfing this morning, he was looking for a way to get more…relaxed and he forgot to think about the thing that was most relaxing for him- spending time with his wife- and especially this kind of time.

He left a flurry of kisses down her neck and shoulder telling her how much he loved her over and over in his mind. He saw himself telling her everything he had thought about when he went surfing. That he wanted to step back from work a little bit and that he was sorry for neglecting her and the family so much. He was just about to tell her all this, when he heard the soft voice of his wife speaking.

"I know and I love you, too, honey"

"How did you…" he started to ask but stopped himself and shook his head in disbelief. Sometimes it was almost scary that one of them always knew what the other was thinking.

"When's your meeting today?" Kirsten asked sadly thinking about how comfy she was with him in bed and how she wished they could continue like this all day long.

Sandy grinned and turned her over so she rested on her side and was facing him.

"Which meeting?"

K that's it!! Was it good? Or bad? Or boring? Please tell me what your thinking xxxxxxxx
