One Day at a Time

AN: I'm back! Sorry about the absence. My week was completely insane. Between pulling 3 16 hour shifts at Wawa, class, putting in mad time setting up for a church event, a major blow out with my rents and crashing at Poisonwasteland's overly crowded house for 3 days, writing kinda took a back burner. But this weeks seems to have be a bit slower so hopefully I'll be back on schedule.

SO...on with the story!

Rigmarole- an elaborate or complicated procedure.

Jo sat hunched over the bench in the cleaned out garage she used as a workshop. She had spent the last few hours tinkering with some new innovations to a rather pathetic little gun. Her collection had grown exponentially over the past few years. The rack that contained her collection in the Sheriff's Office had become way too small. She had installed another in her office at Global Dynamics. Her own personal arsenal.

"I can feel you staring."

"Have I ever told you how sexy you look when you're working?"

Jo smiled. "Not recently."

Zane grinned and walked slowly over to her. "Well I don't tell you enough then, because you are." He placed his hands gently on her shoulders. She attempted to shrug them off.

"I love you babe but I really want to finish this. I'm in my zone."

Zane squeezed. "The kids are asleep. How about we get you in a different zone?" He smirked.

Jo rolled her eyes but continued to solder the miniscule mechanisms together. "Give me half an hour. I'm almost done."

Zane pouted, not that Jo could see him, but she knew him well so she could just imagine the cute little out thrusting of his bottom lip.

He brought his lips down to the exposed skin of her shoulder and kissed it softly.

"Please Jo-Jo?"

She tried to shrug him off a second time. The rod slipped and she growled.

"You need a break. You've been doing nothing but working and tinkering all week." He spoke against her skin. "Your husband needs his lovin'."

Jo laughed. Zane slowly swept her hair away from her neck. He kissed her skin again and Jo put the tools down. He smiled against her skin.

"That's right Jo-Jo. It'll still be there in the morning. You can spend time with your little project later, now it's my turn!"

Jo chuckled as she methodically put her tools in their proper places and draped the small protective sheet over her project. Zane pulled back and spun his wife's seat around so she was facing him.

The fire that Zane so loved was flickering in her eyes. She was ready to go and so was he. She looked up at his face and licked her lips tentatively, teasing him. He had had just about enough and roughly captured her lips with his. The intensity of Jo's kiss matched his just like always, just the way he liked it. She nibbled playfully on his lower lip and he groaned.

Zane pulled his beloved wife to his feet and scooped her into his arms. The intense kiss was never broken. He swept her through the dark garage and into the house, prepared for some much needed play time.

AN: Sorry if it's not all that great. I had trouble thinking of an idea and I was out of practice cause I haven't written anything all week. So let me know what you think. You know I love you're reviews, the good, the bad and the ugly. You're reviews make me feel like I'm actually doing something right, make me smile and inspire me to write the next one.

So enjoy.
