"Rick, what are you doing home? I thought you were working overnight?" Michonne asked him as she walked through the door.

"I switched with one of the new guys who had a bachelor party to go to. You hungry?"

"Starving. What'd you cook? It smells delicious." She walked over to him and kissed him on his awaiting lips.

"My famous sausage and peppers. Sit, I'll get you a plate." Michonne sat at the dining table and waited for her dinner. "Long day?"

"This time of year is always so busy. It's the only time we can't come and go. So many people want artwork for Christmas." She noticed the open laptop on the table. "What are you doing over here?"

"Looking at houses, comparing prices of flights."

"Oh yeah? Do they have a lot of houses for sale in King County?"

"I just started on the house search. I guess we can look together, since you're here." He placed her plate down in front of her as well as a glass of wine. "I'll let you eat before we get started."

"So are you thinking about having a bachelor party? Booze and strippers with the guys?"

"I've never been into strippers too much, not my thing. Unless you're offering lap dances."

"I'm trying to eat Rick." She said as she laughed.

"You brought it up. I've heard about the things that go down at bachelorette parties, hell, I've busted a few up. You planning on having one?"

"And have some strange sweaty man trying to grind on me? No. I only like your sweaty body on me."

"You finish eating and that can be arranged."

"I've only been to a few bachelorette parties and the last one was an adult toy party. That was fun."

"What is an adult toy party?"

"Really?"

"I'm drawing a blank Michonne. What is it?"

"It's a party where a host shows you all different kinds of toys to aid in sexual satisfaction and at the end of the night, you can buy them."

"Are you telling me you have a drawer full of toys upstairs."

"No, I don't. I have one, that I haven't used in a while."

"What does it do?"

"I'll show you later."

"Can't wait."

She shook her head at him and continued to eat her dinner as Rick went back to the computer.

"I thought you were gonna wait for me?"

"I'm looking at your Santorini place. You know you can go topless on the beach?"

"Rick, you get pissy when the deputies at the station talk to me, but you'd be okay with me nipples out on the beach?"

"As long as it's just me looking."

"You see them all the time. I'll tell you what, when in Rome right? I'll go topless if you wear a Speedo."

"Sounds like you'll be wearing a top at the beach then."

"Yeah. That's what I thought." She said through laughter as she got up to put her plate in the sink. "I'm gonna go get in the shower real quick, then we can find our dream house."

"You need some help washing your back or your legs or something?"

"I'm pretty good with washing my body, but you can make me cum a few times." Rick stared at her back as she walked up the steps.

"I can do that!"

After a very active shower Rick and Michonne were in bed looking at houses online. She still wore her short robe and Rick was wearing nothing under the covers.

"That was a great shower, but I don't feel very clean. You did very dirty things to me in there." Rick said as he peeked under her robe.

"Hush. You liked every single one of them. Now what do we want in a house? Three or four bedrooms?"

"You said we're having four kids, so I'd say four bedrooms." He smiled as he looked at her smooth brown legs that were on display next to him with Michonne sitting cross-legged on the bed.

"Okay four bedrooms. I can use one for an office so I can work from home."

"I'll need a man cave."

"A man cave for what Rick?"

"Four kids Michonne. I'll need a place to hide."

"What about me? Where will I hide?"

"I'll let you come in and play with me sometimes."

"I bet so. Oh look at this one. It's huge and has a wrap around porch."

"That's nice. Wow, it's on one and a half acres."

"It that too much land?"

"Not for four kids. You want to check it out?"

"Yeah. Rick, we're really doing this?"

"We are. You want to set a date for the wedding now or do I have to get down on one knee and propose the right way?"

"We haven't done anything the right way, why start now?"

"Maybe so, but shouldn't we have a romantic story to tell our kids when they ask us about it?"

"Do you know how your dad asked your mama?"

"Well, no. I could ask her, I'm sure it was very low key. I'm more concerned about you though."

"Tell you what. You can do it now."

"I don't have a ring now."

"You don't need one now, we'll get one later."

"Nope. Gotta have a ring, plus I'm naked."

"Fine. Some other time then. What time are you working tomorrow?"

"6-2. What about you?"

"10-6. Will I see you at all tomorrow?"

"I'll get up and have breakfast with you before you leave."

"That would be nice. I'll call the realtor tomorrow, but I don't know when we can go see it. I'll be working these awful hours until New Years. I'll be off for a week the second week of the year. Maybe then?"

"First of the year should be good. Call and set that up." He moved the laptop to the nightstand and they both scooted down to lay in the bed. "So tell me more about this toy you have." He untied her robe.

"You're insatiable. "

"That's a bad thing?"

"I didn't say that."

"So this toy."

"It's small and vibrates on my clit. Let me go get it and I'll show you."

"Leave the robe here." He held on to her robe as she got up from the bed. He watched as she walked out of the room loving the jiggle of her cheeks as she left.

She was back within minutes with the small pink silicon cylinder shaped toy that fit in the palm of her hand. "This is the only one I have."

"That's kind of small?, I thought women were all about size." He took the toy from her hand and examined it.

"It doesn't go inside me, it stimulates my clit, and it's just the right size."

"Does it now? Can I try it out on you? How do you turn it on?"

"Turn this clockwise on the bottom and it comes on."

"Shit. That's a strong vibration." He rose to his knees and pulled Michonne down on her back and then lifted and spread her knees. "You ready?"

"Probably not. Why are you smiling like that?"

"Cause I get to play with you." He lowered himself down so that his face was between her legs. He kissed the inside of her left thigh and then trailed kisses up to her center where he placed a few wet kisses on her clit. "Feel good?"

"Hhmmm." She nodded her head and then heard Rick turn on her toy. She rose to her elbows to look at him. Her head fell back when the vibration jolted against her; then it was gone just as quick. "Oh shit."

"That feel good?"

"Hhmmm." She nodded again and saw that mischievous smirk appear on his face. Then she felt the jolt again, but it didn't stop this time. Rick moved it around in circles watching as her legs twitch every few seconds. She let out a long breath and then a moan.

"I can see you getting wet. You like that?"

"Yes." Michonne whispered, having no control of which octave her voice came out at.

"Let's see what happens when I do this." He stopped moving the toy and kept it in one place and then inserted two fingers into her slippery opening. "Damn. You are so wet." The combination of Rick's fingers and the vibrator pushed her over the edge.

"Rick! Yes! Yes!" She squeezed around his fingers and he smiled as she tried to close her legs against him

"You ready for me now?" He asked her

She moved to let Rick put his back to the headboard so she could straddle him. She noticed the vibrator still in his hand. As she lowered herself down on his hardness, she felt his free hand squeezing her ass and heard his low growl at the warm feel of her all around his dick. She moved her lips to his and kissed him, searching for his tongue immediately. As soon as she found it, she felt the vibration again. She wasn't ready for it. She gasped and moaned into his mouth. The sensation made her grind down harder on him and faster. "Oh shit Rick."

"You liked that, huh? You're squeezing the fuck outta my dick. You want me to do it again?"

"You're gonna make me cum."

"Good. That's what I'm supposed to do. Cum hard for me." She leaned back and placed her hands just above his knees, her clit engorged and longing for his touch. She held her breath awaiting the tingle that was about to make its way through her. With her breath held, the only thing they could hear were the gushy sound her wet pussy made as it worked Rick's dick up and down, the sound of vibrations drowned out that sound until Michonne's loud screams overpowered the vibrations.

"Rick! Fuck. Fuck. Oohhh Rick."

"There you go. Just like that." She leaned forward to kiss him, still feeling the pulsing as she moved her hips in slow circles.

"Rick. Shit you feel so good."

"You're gonna cum again aren't you?" Michonne just nodded her head, unable to talk. "Not without me." He flipped them over so that he was on top; he licked and sucked on her neck as his strokes went deeper. Michonne held on to his forearms and tightened her legs around his waist.

"Rick! Oh yes! Yes! Don't stop! Right there."

"Michonne." He mumbled into her neck. "Fuuucckkk!" He let go with a force deep inside Michonne causing her to let go too, as she arched her back and whimpered through another orgasm. "God I love you." He kissed her lips as he pulled out slowly, missing her warmth immediately. He lay on his side beside her and looked at her. She was looking back at him. She turned on her side as well and Rck moved her leg to rest on top of his hip.

"Promise me we'll always be like this. Even with four kids and a dog." She kissed him.

"You'll have to be a lot quieter, but I think we will."

"Good. Now let's go to sleep." She started to close her eyes as Rick reached over and turned off the lamp. "I love you Rick."

"Rick, I can't believe I slept through my alarm." Michonne was rushing down the stairs putting on her earrings, trying not to drop her heels, which were tucked under her arm.

"Don't blame me." He handed her a plate of scrambled eggs.

"I absolutely blame you. You had me all relaxed and worn out." She smiled at him as he walked up to her and kissed her neck. "Rick, you're distracting me."

"I'm not to apologize. I think I deserve a medal for what I did to you last night."

"Get off of me Rick, before you make me later than I already am. Thank you for breakfast." She kissed his lips. "I need my coffee to go, though. You going back to bed?"

"For a while, I've got a few things to take care of before I go in later."

"Okay, well enjoy your sleep. I'll call you later when I can. Oh and I have to call the realtor." She put her shoes on and went to grab her coat and keys. Rick walked her coffee to her.

"Have a good day. No speeding. You'll get there when you get there."

"Yes deputy. I'll talk to later." He handed her the coffee and kissed her as she went out the door.

"Aaron, it hasn't stopped in three hours. Where are all these people coming from?"

"I have no idea, but I think we're both looking at some pretty nice commission checks. Why don't you go take a quick break? All these people are just looking right now anyways."

"I need to make two phone calls and I'll be back in 15 minutes. Come get me if it gets too crazy before I get back."

"Will do."

Michonne retreated to her office to call the realtor first and set up a time to meet with her in a few weeks, they also discussed the type of home she and Rick were looking for if the one they liked online didn't pan out. When she was done with the realtor, she called Rick, but was sent to voicemail. Her 15 minutes was up so she just let Rick know she was thinking about him and went back out to the gallery floor.

"Everything alright?" Aaron asked her when she came back out looking a bit worried.

"Yeah, I was just trying to reach Rick, but I got his voicemail. He should be up by now; it's 2:30. He said he had some things to take care of; he'll call me back when he gets done I guess."

"How's everything going out here?" Morgan asked as he walked up to them.

"It's going great. I think that couple over there is ready to discuss prices." Aaron said as he pointed to an older couple to their left.

"Michonne, why don't you help them, Aaron you actually have a call holding on line 3."

"Oh okay, thanks. I'll be right back." Morgan watched Aaron walk towards his office and then saw Michonne walking with the couple who seemed to have found the perfect piece of art for their home.

10 minutes later Aaron came back out to the floor with a silly grin on his face.

"Good phone call?" Michonne asked him

"Very good. Did that couple buy anything?"

"One of the abstract oils from the south side wall. Morgan is getting them set up with delivery and everything."

"That's good." They watched as a group of people walked through the door. "Looks like we're up again." They both walked towards the group to help them with their art purchase. It was 4pm when the last of that group left, each purchasing an artwork for their home or office.

"I'm going to my office Aaron, don't let anyone come in there. Tell Morgan I ran away."

"Sure thing." Aaron said as he chuckled

Michonne went to her office and sat down, resting her feet. She checked her phone and saw there were no messages from Rick. She called him again and was again sent to his voicemail. She started to worry so she sent him a text.

Michonne: Rick, I hope you're in a ditch somewhere and that's why you can't answer my calls. If you're not, you're gonna hope you were.

There was a knock on her door and then Aaron walked in.

"I'm sorry Michonne, but Morgan said he needs you in the west gallery. He said it's an emergency."

"It better be. What in the world kind of emergency happens in a room full of art?"

She stomped off towards the west gallery, fuming and cursing at Morgan under her breath for interrupting her break. When she stepped into the west gallery, she didn't see Morgan but she did see 4 pedestals that are reserved for sculptures, each topped with a vase full of roses. All in different shades, each with a card attached. The first vase was full of yellow roses and the card just said Will. She walked to the second vase that had pink roses and the card read You. She didn't know what to think until she got to the white roses and the card that said Marry, She rushed to the last vase and the beautiful red roses and snatched the card from the bouquet that said Me. Her heartbeat sped up and then she heard those boots behind her walking towards her. When she turned around she saw Rick in his uniform down on one knee and a black ring box in his hand.

"I thought we should have a romantic story to tell our kids. Michonne will you marry me?"

"Yes!"
