They lie there, smoking cigarettes. Joy noticed it was more of an after sex thing. She smiles, taking a drag from her cigarette and sighs.

'That was mind-blowingly amazing what we had tonight. Probably the best we've had, ever.' She smiles, and takes another deep inhale, then exhales, sending a stream of smoke across the room.

Victoria dabs out her cigarette. 'I have to agree. You're the perfect partner. You know my wants, my needs…pretty much everything.' Just as she says that, the cat they owned together came on the bed. The cat jumps in Victoria's lap, attempting to bat at her cigarette.

'Pumpkin…please don't play with Mommy's cigarette.' Joy laughs and dabs out her cigarette, then reaching for the orange tabby.

'You're a curious one, aren't you?' Joy smiles sweetly, petting the cat as it purrs happily. She looks at Victoria, smiling.

'Pumpkin probably doesn't like it when we smoke.'

Victoria sticks another in her mouth, and lights it. 'Babe, we only smoke occasionally,' she says taking a drag from her fresh cigarette. Joy sighs and slumps in their bed, holding the cat in her arms for a second before gently letting the cat hop off their bed.

'Are you done smoking babe, because that's like your second cigarette in less than an hour.'

Victoria glares at her throwing the pack of cigarettes at her. 'Jesus, Joy. Take one.' Joy doesn't take one; she knew that she had her limit for the day. Setting the carton on the bedside table, she throws her arms around Victoria's waist, as Victoria happily smokes her cigarette.

'I love when you talk like this. It's such a turn on.'

Victoria sighs, 'Since when did I being bitchy become your turn on?'

Joy sighs, 'I love my lady when she's being snarky. Snarky is sexy.'

Joy reaches for the pack of cigarettes. 'Oh fine then, one more couldn't hurt. I've been really trying to cut back on these.' She sticks one in her mouth and reaches her hand out for the lighter Victoria was holding.

Victoria hands it to her, smiling. 'I knew you couldn't resist.'

Lighting the cigarette, then taking an inhale, then exhale, she glares at Victoria angrily.

'Shut it, dear!'

Victoria puts an arm around her. Joy looks at her, and couldn't resist a smile. They lean in, sharing a kiss in bed. Joy takes another drag of the cigarette, and soon puts it out, dabbing it in the ashtray.

'Filthy habit, but it's so relaxing after sex.'

Victoria nods. She had to agree with Joy there, and what they had together was probably the best they had in a few months. With her schedule at Edge of Tomorrow, and Joy being swamped at the salon, they were lucky if they even got to sit and cuddle together. She missed Joy like mad; it had been months since they had had any intimate relations with each other. Joy lies on Victoria's lap, and Victoria smiles, cigarette in one hand, stroking her hair with the other.

'Babe, I missed this. When did we get so busy?'

Joy smiled, 'When did we? I missed you love.' She gets up and scoots into Victoria's lap. Leaning in, she presses a few kisses gently against her neck.

'You have not the slightest idea how much I want you again,' she giggles softly, her arms gently around Victoria's waist.

'Reyjoyla, honey…we just had sex an hour ago.'

Joy smiles at her, taking no notice of the use of her full given name, and says, 'I know, but another romp would be amazing right now.'

Victoria smiles sweetly at Joy, and leans to dab out her cigarette in the ashtray. She puts her arms around Joy, pulling her close.

'You, my lady are so fucking gorgeous,' she says, tracing against the contours of Joy's figure. The younger woman was fairly muscular, mostly from her years spent in dance. She slides her arm around Joy's waist; the other was still gently holding her head. Victoria leans in, kissing her. She starts then pauses, looking into Joy's eyes. Her eyes were gorgeous, sparkling brown eyes that sparkled every time Victoria was near.

'I love you, baby girl.'

Joy reaches to touch her cheek.

'I love you too, Tori. I love you with all my heart.'

Gently Victoria pushes Joy to the pillow, and she arches her back, straddling over Joy. First she leans in to kiss her lips, then brushing against her soft cheek and her neck gently. Joy shivers, and pulls Victoria closer to her.

Victoria leans up to look at her, a smile forms across her lips. She leans against the nape of Joy's neck, pushes back her hair, and continues her loving act by pressing a few more soft kisses.

She then pauses again, and whispers, 'I'm ready when you're ready.'
