`Soon Two Become Three'

[Sheridan and Luis are back from their trip.]

"Mmmmmm. Home sweet home." Sheridan sighed as she dumped her baggage by the door. She breathed in the well-known smell and looked around at her belongings. "I know something sweeter." Luis cooed, grabbing his fiancé around the waist and kissing her on the back of her neck. Sheridan shut her eyes to enjoy the moment. "Mmmmm. You know. It is midnight. Maybe we could..."

"Maybe we could what?" Luis had started to move around to her collarbone, covering it with sweet soft kisses when Sheridan suddenly felt heavy in his arms. "Sheridan?"

"Sorry. I must be tired. But don't stop." She smiled, and turned around to kiss him hard on the mouth. Luis enjoyed her sweet kisses but this time pushed her away shaking his head. "No way. You know what's going to happen next, and I know you're tired. Lie down and I'll get a blanket to keep you warm." He said, and she sat down on the couch.

"I have all the warmth I need right here." Sheridan grabbed his skin-tight shirt and pulled him on top of her. He bent down and began to kiss her on the lips, his hands moving up her slim long legs. He leant closer as his lips moved down to caress the outline of her neck, when he lost his balance and fell, elbowing Sheridan hard in the ribs.

"Ah!" Sheridan yelled. "Ow!"

"Sheridan? Are you alright?" Luis sat up in horror, and in doing so dug her thigh with the ball of his hand.

"Ow!!" Sheridan sat up and clutched her thigh.

"Sheridan, I'm so sorry." Luis exclaimed. "I'll go get the icepack."

Sheridan took a few deep breaths. "You know if you wanted to do me off it would've been easier to throw me overboard!"

"And see you come up again dripping wet and furious? Oh yeah!"

Luis came back from the kitchen, ice pack in hand, and placed it upon Sheridan's sore ribs. She jumped at the coolness of the pack, and then began to warm up when she felt Luis' hand resting on her chest. Luis felt her breathing become heavier and looked at her curiously. She looked into his deep brown eyes, wishing with all the fibre of her being for him to take her. But she knew he wouldn't. When Luis says no for a reason, he usually means it.

"Luis... I'm not tired. Really." She said, putting a reassuring hand upon his arm.

"C'mon. You almost collapsed before. Wait here for a sec and I'll get us some hot chocolate."

"Really Luis, I'm not tired." Sheridan rubbed her leg against his, looking into his eyes with such strong lust that he had to get up and move away to keep himself from grabbing her and ripping her clothes off right then and there. "I'll get us some hot sex...I mean chocolate."

Sheridan began to smile at his mistake. "Hmmm. Speaking of hot...chocolate" Sheridan grinned "you remember...last night?"

"Oh yeah. How can I forget?" Luis called back. "You are such a goddamn hot lover. Mmmmmm mmm!" Luis went about making her some hot chocolate with Luis' special surprise - Sheridan's favourite. Although it took him a while, it was usually finished off with a satisfied smile from his love done. "Here's one hot chocolate for one hot woman." He said, carrying the two mugs into the living room, only to find Sheridan sound asleep on the couch. "How does she do it? Out like a light in a matter of seconds." He walked over to the couch, and picked her up. He carried her to the bedroom, removed her shoes and jacket, and laid her down under the sheets. She immediately rolled over and spread out across the double bed. Luis shook his head with a smile, then went and made himself comfortable on the couch.
