Peppermint Vanilla & Triple Chocolate Entwined

Their day at the park was a splendid one. They strolled and enjoyed each other's company. Byakuya surprised Michiko by having his butler prepare a picnic basket for them and they had lunch under one of the big Maple trees at the park. As they finished their lunch, her attention was drawn to an approaching truck with musical bells ringing. She looked questioningly at her husband who gracefully stood from where they were seated and took her hand leading her to the truck which parked at the side street. It was an ice cream truck and soon children were rushing towards it to buy ice cream.

Byakuya led his wife and they waited in line while the children were excited in getting their favorite ice cream flavor. Michiko being new to this was silently observing how the ice cream vendor would use a special rounded spoon to scoop the different flavors (and colors) of ice cream. Byakuya was smiling as he watched her closely, savoring the naïveté of his wife.

When it was their turn, he glanced at her and softly said "what flavor would you like, my love?" his expressive dark grey eyes, radiantly looking at her.

Michiko blushed at her husband's endearment and looked thoughtfully at the wide array of flavors spread before her. Having a penchant for dark chocolate, she read the labels and she shyly said "I'll have the Triple Chocolate please" and like a child she eagerly waited for her ice cream cone, Byakuya chose Peppermint Vanilla and after paying they went back to their spot.

She observed how her husband consumed the creamy cold dessert and followed suit. Gently her tongue licked the frosty ice cream and she gasped in surprise of how cool and delicious it was. The chocolate flavor was bittersweet, the richness of cocoa blended well with the creaminess of buttermilk, and she was slowly getting addicted to this new fare. Michiko thought of bringing some to Shiro when they get back to Seireitei. She watched Byakuya as she gently and carefully ate her ice cream, making sure that the melted cream won't drip to her fingers.

"How does your ice cream taste, honey?" She asked curiously since she noticed her husband was staring at her most of the time rather than licking the fast melting ice cream in his hands.

Byakuya was distracted from eating his ice cream as he looked at his wife who was enjoying her treat tremendously. He was enthralled and at the same time very aroused as he saw her tongue slowly dipped into the fast melting ice cream. How he wished that he was the ice cream his wife was licking at, and was fighting the urge to kiss her passionately and shunpo to their apartment to make wild, sweet love to her. Michiko felt the heat of his stare and mischievously looked at him, her cerulean eyes, teasingly locked with his dark grey orbs. Byakuya met her challenge and sensuously licked his ice cream, his eyes locked into hers, conveying a message that sent ripples of pleasure to her.

Michiko was so captivated with her husband's teasing that felt the melted ice cream on her fingers and before she could wipe off the melted cream Byakuya gently took her hand, and one by one licked the melted ice cream off her fingers. She shivered in delight as his tongue teasingly licked her fingers, she almost swooned to his caresses, her eyes never leaving his gaze as he gently moved closer to her and took her and his melting ice cream aside, his arms enveloping her and lowered his head, his lips tenderly touching hers.

"Byakuya…" she whispered as he teasingly licked her lower lip with his tongue. He kissed her tenderly his tongue still cool from the ice cream, gently probed her lips to open. Michiko moaned in pleasure as their lips touched, each tasting the lingering flavor and coolness of the ice cream they had. It was the most sensuous blending of Triple Chocolate and Peppermint Vanilla.

He felt that he was on fire, he never thought that eating ice cream with his wife would be this intense. "Do you like your ice cream?" he asked, his voice husky

"Yes…It's splendid…the best…" a smile played on her lovely features and she kissed him tenderly, her arms went around his neck pulling him closer

Byakuya kissed her passionately and as they drew apart, both chuckled. "Let's go home before we shock the children around us" he said teasingly. Michiko laughed and replied "yes… we better head home…"
