After having a few days off, Alex and Shauna had decided that they would of course go home. Taking advantage of this time off, she decided to sleep in a bit. Alex did too, but he had gotten up and gone downstairs and put a dozen of regular red roses in a vase and brought them back upstairs and put them on the nightstand next to her side of the bed, before quietly getting clothes and heading into the bathroom to shower, letting her sleep in as long as she wanted to. It's not until about fifteen minutes later that she starts to stir, reaching out for him only to find him gone. That's when she starts to open her eyes and sees something next to the bed. She rubs her eyes a bit, so she can see better and once she can see better she notices a vase full of roses. She's wondering how they got there since they weren't there last night first of all, and second of all she couldn't help but admire how pretty they were. While she was looking at the roses, she didn't hear the shower shut off or the door open a few minutes after that. It was until she felt something on her cheek that she takes her eyes off the flowers.

"There you are."

"Here I am." He chuckles. "Happy Valentine's Day." He grins.

"That explains the roses. I forgot that was today."

"It does." He nods. "How could you forget a day like this?"

"Well...it's not a day I always looked forward to."

"Why is that?"

"Because I didn't really get anything. It's one of those holidays that make single people feel horrible. And that's what I was like for years. Every year I dreaded it."

"Well, now you're with me. This is going to be one of your favorite days of the year. I'll make sure of that."

"You're already starting."

"Good. This is only the start too. Today is all about you and nothing else. Whatever you want, you'll get."

"I have a sense I'm gonna be spoiled today, more so than usual."

"You got that right. You deserve every bit of it too."

"When did you get the roses anyway? I never saw them so you were clearly sneaky about it."

"I had them delivered this morning."

"As I said...sneaky."

"I am." He grins. "Just wait. That's not all either."

"Oh boy."

"Not hints. I want to you see everything on your own."

"More gifts hmm?"

"I don't know. You'll have to find out."

"I have a feeling there are more."

"Hmm...you'll see soon."

"Soon. But right now, since you weren't here when I woke up...I missed the cuddle time."

"That's exactly what I was thinking." He chuckles, climbing next to her on the bed.

"I was about ready to cuddle with your pillow because I didn't know where you were not too long ago."

"Aww." He grins. "I'm never to far away from you. I'd never leave without telling you or leaving a note first."

"Oh I know. I had just woken up and wasn't aware of where you were that's all."

"I'm sorry. I figured you would still be sleeping by the time I got done."

"It's okay."

"I'll either be quicker next time or wait for you to wake up."

"No it's alright. I was mesmerized by the roses anyway."

"I'm glad you like them."

"I really do." She nods.

"Good." He tugs her closer to him.

"So what's the plan for the rest of the day?"

"I have a few things planned for later, but anything before that is whatever you want to do."

"Do I have to dress accordingly to these plans for later?"

"Yeah. A nice dress would be good."

"I'll have to find something later then."

"I'm sure you can. I did see something that would be perfect for tonight."

"Oh?"

"Mhm." He nods. "I'll show you a little later."

"Well I know one thing, it's gonna be blue."

"Yes it will be."

"Figured as much."

"I do love how blue looks on you."

"As you tell me whenever it's worn by me."

"I can't help it. It brings out your eyes perfectly."

"Although mine aren't blue like yours."

"They are still gorgeous to me."

"Charmer."

"Just for you."

"Better be."

"It is, don't worry."

"Good."

"We'll lay here for a bit longer then I'll go make you breakfast."

"Alright, sounds good." She nods.

He holds her closer to him, getting in the time he missed. Some time after that, they decided to get up, her more reluctantly than him. But they make their way out of the bedroom and downstairs to the kitchen where he starts to get things he needs to make breakfast. He had told her to go in the living room and watch TV while he got everything and prepared her favorite breakfast.

"Smells good." She says from the living room.

"It should." He calls back. "It's your favorite."

"I knew it smelled familiar."

"That's all you're going to get today. Nothing but your favorites."

"Seems as though my view on this holiday will change after today."

"It will. I'll make sure of that."

"Of course."

"One thing. Could you come get me some milk? I forgot it."

"Yeah sure." She replies, getting up from the couch and coming back into the kitchen.

She goes over to the fridge to get the milk for him, but when she opens it, there's one thing that stands out to her and that's a whole basket full of chocolate. She takes the milk out for him and puts it on the counter next to her, but also take the basket of chocolate out.

"What is this?"

"Hmm...I don't know." He acts confused.

"This wasn't in there last night..."

"It wasn't?"

"No...I'm sure I would've remembered if it was."

"That's odd. I wonder how it got there?" He shrugs.

"This is one of my gifts isn't it?"

"Do you like everything that's in there?"

"It's chocolate...of course I do."

"Then yes. This is one of your gifts."

"And if you're wondering, I put that in the fridge last night while you were asleep." He adds.

"You little sneak."

"That's me alright."

"Youuuu."

"Meeee." He grins.

"This is why I love you. You never fail to surprise me."

"You'll always get surprises being with me."

"Maybe today isn't that bad afterall."

"I told you so."

"This is the first year I haven't been single so..."

"It's okay. It's understandable. You don't ever have to worry about that again."

"Now that you're with me, it will be like this every year." He adds.

"Oh I know. I believe you."

"Good." He kisses her quick. "Go have a seat. Everything is ready."

She nods, putting the chocolate back into the fridge before going to sit. He then takes everything off the stove and puts it onto plates. Once that's done, he brings the plates out to the table. He already had fruit and flowers set out on the table along with her favorite drink.

"I say I make breakfast next time." She remarks.

"If you insist."

"I want to."

"Alright." He nods.

"Everything looks good by the way."

"I tried to make it just like your mom did. I hope I did good."

"I'm sure you did just fine."

"I'll let you be the judge of that."

She nods and takes a bite of it. He waits until she takes that bite and eat it, to see her reaction.

"Tastes just as good as it looks and smells."

"That's what I was going for."

"You did good." She nods.

"Good. That makes me feel better."

"You honestly doubted yourself in making this?"

"Maybe just a little. It had to be better than perfect. I was nervous I would mess it up."

"Don't ever doubt yourself...in anything you do."

"I'll try not to from now on."

"Good."

"I mean, I do have you now and I never thought that would happen."

"Makes two of us."

"It goes to show that anything is possible."

"But I'm glad it did happen."

"Me too...me too."

They then continue to eat the breakfast, talking about things here and there. In the meantime, Mike and I are still in bed, but I'm sleeping and he's awake, watching me as I sleep. I shift a bit in my sleep, shivering then snuggling closer to him to keep warm. He pulls the blanket up farther and rubs my arms to help warm me up. That starts to wake me up, my eyes fluttering open.

"Good morning." He says quietly.

"...morning..."

"Sleep well?"

"Mhm." I nod, burying my face in his chest.

"Good. Got a surprise for you today."

"Oh? What?" I look up at him.

"Oh you'll find out soon enough."

"No hints?"

"Well I suppose I can give you one hint that won't give it away."

"What is it?"

"You're gonna have to do some packing...for more warm weather."

"Oh? Now I'm interested."

"I thought you would be."

"Any reason for this trip or it is just because?"

"Well you know what today is right?"

"Umm...not your birthday, not mine, Shauna, or Alex's..." I start to think. "...no...what is today?"

"Valentine's Day."

"That day actually still happens? I didn't think it did."

"It does."

"Oh...that's cool...I suppose."

"Something wrong? I can tell something's wrong."

"Well..." I bite my lip. "...I never really had a real Valentine's Day. I was told I wasn't good enough to be anyone's Valentine so nothing good ever came out of this day for me."

"But you're with me now...all that in the past is changing."

"So far it has...we'll see how the day goes." I slightly smile at him.

My phone then goes off and I roll away from him, checking the message. I read it then throw my phone down, laying on my side away from him, a few tears falling.

"What happened? What's wrong?"

I bury my face into the pillow, sniffling. He takes my phone and reads the message, 'Still alone on Valentine's Day. Told you that you were worthless.'.

"This isn't from...you know who..is it?"

All I do is nod, not being able to talk.

"Well when we go back to work, I'm going to be less than pleased to see him. He has no right...no right saying that to you."

"He doesn't know I'm the one with you..." I roll over slightly. "...I want to keep it that way for as long as I can."

"I know, but still."

"He does this every year...well the past 2 since we have not been together. He's just playing with my head. He thinks I'll get back down to that level again and go be with again."

"Why don't you just block his number then?"

"I do, but he keeps getting someone else's phone and sending me messages. I even changed my number and he still finds out what it is. I tried it all. I just gave up trying."

"Everything he says is not true. You know that."

"I just don't know anymore...nothing good has ever happened on this day for me...all the others just left me..."

"That's not happening with me. I would never leave you."

"No?" I look at him. "You really mean that?"

"I really really really mean that."

"Awww." I smile, running my hand over his cheek. "Here, let me see my phone." I reach for it.

He hands it to me and I got to send a message back for once only to see a new text.

"You've got to be kidding me." I groan.

"What did he say now?"

"How he still loves me, wants me back, and didn't mean what he said." I roll my eyes. "He does this every year. Tells me how much he misses me and regrets everything then the next day puts me down again."

"Multiple personalities."

"He's a control freak. He has no idea what to do now that he does have me to control anymore. He's lost."

"Poor him. Has to deal with it."

"Yes he does and that's what I'm going to tell him too." I send him a message telling him I want nothing to do with him and for him to leave me alone. "There." I set my phone down after shutting it off.

"Good for you. Now how about I help pack your things?"

"Okay, but aren't you forgetting something?" I pout.

"I didn't forget. How could I ever forget?" He says as he takes my face in his hands and presses his lips to mine.

I smile into the kiss, my hands resting on his wrists. I move my legs, hooking them around him then rolling us over so I'm hovering him, the kiss never breaking. He keeps his hands on my face, my hands resting on the mattress above his shoulders. He continues to hold my face in his hands for a bit longer, before he lets go, and they move my shoulders, where he runs his hands over them in a calming motion. I start to get relaxed, my hands moving to his hair causing me to lay flat on his chest now. He starts to slow the kiss down much to my protest. I try to keep it going, but he rolls us over so he's hovering me now, pulling from my lips.

"...nooo..." I whine.

"There'll be much more of that throughout the day, don't worry."

"Alright...one quick one before we get up?" I look up at him with the eyes and pout.

"A quick one." He nods.

He leans down, giving me a quick kiss then pulling away before I can make it longer.

"Now I'll help you pack, and you can help make breakfast this morning."

"Okay." I nod. "What do I have to pack exactly?"

"Anything you think is suitable to wear in warm weather like the weather we get here."

"Hmm...alright...are we coming back here later or do I need to bring a change for later too? Like a dress or anything?"

"Well I am planning a dinner for tonight. We're gonna be there for a few days or so at least. So bring a change for later." He nods.

"A few days? Where are we going exactly?"

"You'll see. I think we deserve a little vacation."

"We do deserve one. I can't wait to see where were going."

"You'll love it."

"I'll be with you so I know I'll love it."

"Of course."

"You just need to let me up then we can pack."

"Right. My bad." He chuckles, reluctantly letting me go.

I roll over then get off the bed. Before I stand up, I pick up his shirt that was laying on the floor, putting that on then going over to the closet. He moves from the bed himself, pulling something on himself that he found on the floor, before joining me in the closet. I get out my suitcases that he takes back into the room for me, setting them on the bed. I grab a few tank tops from the closet then go to put them in the suitcases.

"Alright...I'm going to get a dress for later. You can pick the shorts and anything else I may need."

"Got it." He nods.

"Don't have to much fun." I grin, kissing him quick.

"I'll try my best not to." He chuckles.

"And no packing more then I'll actually need either. I know how you get with that."

"Oops?"

"Suuuure."

"I'll try my very best not to do that either."

"Good luck." I chuckle.

"I think I'll be okay."

"If you say so." I laugh, ruffling his hair the dashing back to the closet.

"Oh, not the hair.."

"It's already messy from sleeping. I just made it look more sexy."

"Good to know." He grins.

He then goes over to the dresser to pick out the things he wanted me to wear. I start to look for a dress for later, not being able to decide. I finally spot one, smirking then getting a dress bad for it and putting it in there. I get a smaller suitcase I left in there, putting something in there for him for later. I start to get a few pairs of shoes and a pair of heels for dinner. I grab a few other things I might need then head back into the room, setting the dress on the bed before going in the bathroom to get a few things from there. Once he's done helping me get everything I need, he moves onto his own stuff to pack himself. While he does that, I decide to get dressed, putting on a pair of shorts and a tank top. I put my hair in a side braid for now, lightly doing my makeup. After that's done, I slip on a pair of flip flops then sit on the bed waiting for him.

"Can't wait for this small vacation."

"Same here. It's always good to get away once in a while."

"Being with me, you'll always get that."

"You're just to good me."

"Yes I am. Because you deserve it."

"You keep telling me that, but I have no idea why." I laugh.

"Because you're amazing."

"So are you. You're he best thing that's ever happened to me."

"And you are the best thing that's ever happened to me as well."

"You really mean that?" I blush a bit.

"I do." He nods.

"And that's not just because how I look or don't look, right?"

"Exactly. Like I've said...I like you for you."

"Good." I smile. "Need any help?"

"I would love for some help."

"Then it looks like I'm your girl." I grin, standing up.

"Pick out anything you like, for me to wear and I'll pack it."

"In that case...you're done packing." I smirk.

"Alright, well...don't go crazy. I know how you get with my clothes like I do with yours."

"I'll do my very best."

"Although if you ask me...I don't think you need any." I add.

"Hmm...tempting, but I do need something to wear for later."

"For the dinner...right."

"Yes. After that...we'll see." He smirks as well.

"Indeed we will."

I go to walk past him, brushing up against him as I do. I hear him groan slightly as I walk into the closet. I laugh to myself then start to find a few shirts and pants for him. When I find those, I take them out and put them in his bag. I head back into the closet to find him a suit for later, picking out my favorite one, walking out with that in it's bag.

"I see you've picked out a suit. One of your favorites I'm assuming?"

"Mhm." I nod. "You don't mind, do you?"

"Of course not. I can wear it tonight for dinner."

"You're going to look so good in it. Possibly even better than me." I chuckle.

"Oh I can never look better than you."

"Trust me...in this suit, you can."

"We'll have to see then."

"We will." I nod. "How about you get dressed and I'll start breakfast?"

"Only if you're sure."

"I'm sure." I nod.

"Alright. I'll be out there shortly to help."

"Take your time." I give him a quick kiss.

I then leave the room, heading downstairs. The farther I get down the stairs, I start to see things all over the tables. When I get to the bottom of the stairs, I see a bunch of vases with different types of flowers in them. I look at them in awe, going up to smell them. As I make my way through the house, I keep seeing bouquets of flowers. In the kitchen on the center island, was my favorite ones. I smile at them, admiring them for a bit before starting to get things ready for breakfast. Since it was Valentine's Day, I decided to make heart shaped pancakes. I get everything in the bowl I need, mixing it together them putting it on the stove. While I'm making them, Mike is all dressed and comes down the stairs to join me in the kitchen.

"Like everything you saw down here?" He grins, kissing my cheek.

"Like? Try love." I look up at him. "Thank you."

"You're welcome. Was doing some searching for the flowers the other day and I couldn't choose just one, so I got various kinds. Put them all out last night while you were asleep."

"You sneak." I laugh. "I do love them all. They are all so beautiful."

"Just like you."

"Miiiike..." I blush.

"Just speaking the truth."

"I know...you always do."

"Yes, yes I do."

"I do like hearing it though...never gets old."

"I'll never stop telling you either."

"Of course you won't."

"You deserve to be reminded each and every day."

"Because I'm that good looking?" I joke.

"Yes you are to me. And that's what matters."

"Exactly." I kiss him quick, taking the pancakes and putting them on plates.

"Need help with anything else?"

"Maybe with the fruit and juice in the fridge? I go everything else out already."

"Of course." He nods, going into the fridge and getting those.

I take everything out to the table, setting the plate down. Once he comes out, we sit and start to get what we want on our plates.

"You know, I've always wondered how heart-shaped pancakes are made shape-wise."

"Wanna know my secret?" I lean over the table, looking around.

"Well of course."

"You can't tell anyone..." I look around with my eyes. "...metal cookie cutters." I whisper.

"Ohhhh."

"That and I use two different pans so they don't get messed up when flipped."

"Smart."

"Why thank you." I bow slightly with a smirk. "Learn that in cooking class."

"I promise not to tell anyone, don't worry."

"Good." I nod. "Can't have my secret getting out." I try to be serious, but end up laughing.

"Of course not." He chuckles.

"Let me know how they taste. I adding something to them this time."

"I will. And added something huh? Wonder what it could be."

"Yes I did."

"Well let's just see what it is, shall we?"

I nod, watching as he takes bite, to see his reaction.

"Hmm...could it be...cinnamon?"

"It is. I wanted to try something new rather than just vanilla to see if you like it."

"Well you've succeeded, these are amazing."

"Good thing I made plenty of them then."

"Can't wait to see what else you try with these, with adding stuff to them."

"I add all kinds of things to them. I'll surprise you next time."

"Sounds like a plan."

"For now...enjoy them and all the fruit I sliced."

"Right. And then when we're done, we'll have enough time to get to the airport." He nods.

"Airport? How far away are we going?"

"You'll see."

"You've really got me curious now."

"Curious is good."

"It's killing me to not know."

"It's all a surprise."

"I know, but still." I whine a bit.

"You'll survive."

"I should be able to."

"I'll make sure you do."

"You always do."

"It's my job."

"And that's why I love you."

"I love you too."

We keep eating, talking about a few things in between. Since I made plenty of pancakes, whenever Mike had finished his, he grabbed some more.

"That good huh?" I giggle.

"Mhm." He nods with his mouth full.

"That makes me happy."

He keeps eating only stopping to drink. I had gotten full of pancakes so I decided to eat some fruit.

"Gonna have to make these again sometime."

"Don't worry. I will...just for you."

"Great." He grins.

"What time do we have to get the plane?"

"In a couple hours."

"Okay, good. We don't have to rush."

"Not at all."

"Maybe we could go sit on the patio for a bit. Enjoy the nice weather."

"I love that idea."

"I figured you would." I chuckle. "You get to be all touchy since you missed that this morning."

"I did." He nods.

"Don't worry. You'll get the chance to be."

"Oh I already know that."

"As soon as we're done here and it's all clean, we can do that."

"Alright." He nods.

It's not to long after that we finish eating. since he ate all the pancakes, the only thing to be put away was the fruit and juice. We get that put away and the dishes ready to be put in the dishwasher. After that's done, he picks me up and starts to head for the patio.

"Miiike!" I squeal, clinging to him. "No walking?"

"Nope."

"You can't carry me all day long." I chuckle.

"But I can for now."

"For now, yes." I kiss his cheek. "Up until we leave for the airport."

"Yes, and then I can let you walk."

"But for now, you get to hold me as much as you want."

"Which I love so much."

"I know you do. I love when you hold me."

"Cause you feel safe, which is how you're supposed to feel."

"I do, very much so."

"And that makes me happy."

"I'm glad I could do that."

"You'll always be safe with me...always."

"I know I will be." I nuzzle his neck.

He then sets me down for a minute as he pulls out a chair, before picking me back up and sitting me on his lap as he sits in the chair. I lean back against his chest, resting my head on his shoulders while his arms wrap around me tightly.

"I love you so much."

"I love you too...oh so very much."

"I'll never stop telling you either."

"I'll never get tired of hearing it either."

"Likewise."

"I really love days like these. Just the two of us...no one else around..."

"That's why I try to get us back here whenever we can."

"I'm so glad you let me come stay with you. I'd go crazy without you."

"Well of course I let you come stay with me. I would be crazy if I didn't."

"Aww. So sweet." I pinch his cheek.

"Only for you."

"Better only be for me or I'll have to mess someone up."

"I know, but don't worry I'm only sweet for you."

"Good."

"I do though like seeing you mess people up. You do that every time you're in that ring."

"It's my job to do that. I fight for what's mine no matter what it is. I can be very nasty if people get me mad enough. You have yet to see that though."

"Right." He nods.

"But, the next girl to look at you the wrong way...ooohh...I'll snap. You'll see it then."

"Alright."

I lean back against him, relaxing a bit more. He kisses the top of my head before resting his head on mine. Sitting out there, we actually end up losing track of time. It's not until Mike checks his phone and notices the time.

"Oh look at that, time just flew on by."

"Really?" I look at him. "We have to move now huh?"

"Unfortunately."

"I suppose we should...don't want to miss the plane."

"That would be bad." He chuckles.

"Very bad." I chuckle, going to get up. "Uh...you going to let me go or carry me?"

"Can I carry you back inside?"

"Like I have a choice." I laugh.

"No, not really." He chuckles.

"I figured."

He moves from the chair while holding onto me, and then stands. From there he heads back inside and back up to the bedroom where he finally places me back down on my feet. We then gather up all our bags and start to take them out to the car. After a few trips, the car is all packed. He goes to lock up the condo then comes back down to the car. I was already in and buckled. He got in then got all set himself.

"Now time for our vacation." He grins, leaning over and kissing me quick, before pulling out and heading to the airport.

"Finally." I sigh happily, leaning my head on his shoulder.

"But how are you gonna get your car back to the condo?" I ask.

"I have a friend who's going to take it back for me. I got it all figured out."

"Always one step ahead of everything."

"I am." He grins.

"Another thing I love about you."

"Good to know."

"Wish I could get another hint on where you're taking me."

"I wish I could give you one, but it will give it away."

"Awww, okay."

"You'll find out soon. Don't worry."

"I'll do my best to survive."

"I know you will."

Despite some traffic, we do manage to get to the airport in plenty of time. After parking, we get out and gather our things from the trunk. After getting everything out of the trunk, we head inside to get our bags checked. When that's done, they get sent to be put on the plan while we sit and wait to board.

"Hopefully we won't have to wait long to board the plane."

"I don't think we will."

"Good."

I lean against him, his arm going over my shoulders while we wait. He takes his free hand and lightly runs his fingers over my upper thigh. I close my eyes, sighing in content until they call for our flight.

"If you want, you can nap on the plane and I'll wake you up when we get there."

"I'm not really that tired right now, but I'll think about it."

"If not, I can keep you busy." He grins.

"Hmm...maybe I'll go with that option." I grin.

"Of course you will."

"But, come on." I pat his leg. "Let's get on that plane."

"Right." He nods.

I stand up from the chair, fixing my shorts and top while he stands. He takes my hand and we head to the gate for our plane. Since he didn't want to me know where we were going, he kept the tickets and handed them to the attendant. We then boarded the plane, Mike leading me to our seats.

"First class?" I say quietly to him. "This must have cost a fortune."

"You're worth it."

"If you think I am."

"You are. Trust me."

"Alright." I agree with him while getting situated in my seat.

"Only the best for you."

"Even though you don't have to, I appreciate it."

"I know I don't have to, but I want you. And you're welcome."

"You really are the best and I love you for that."

"I love you too." He grins.

I lean up, giving him a quick kiss. I sit back in my seat until the plane takes off. Once it does and we get the all clear, he lifts up the arm rest between us then takes off my seat belt, pulling me closer to him. I lay my head on his chest looking up at him while he runs his fingers through my hair. With the soothing motion from that and the sound of his heartbeat, I soon doze off. He looks down to see that I've dozed off and he chuckles before pressing a kiss to the top of my head, and resting his chin on the top of it. Meanwhile, Shauna and Alex were just figuring out what they were going to do before dinner later in the night.

"You know, we haven't had that rematch in basketball yet." She grins.

"You really want to challenge me with that again?" He chuckles.

"Maybe."

"Oh it's on and I'm so going to win this time." He grins.

"Unless you get distracted..."

"Not going to happen."

"Not even by what I choose to wear?"

"Not even by that." He says confidently.

"We'll see about that."

"I know how to distract you too." He smirks.

"Yes, I know how you can distract me too."

"Mhm."

"You won't distract me though."

"We'll find out, won't we?"

"Yes we will."

"Go get ready now?"

"I think we should."

"After you."

"As always."

He nods as she starts to walk ahead of him. They go upstairs to the bedroom and she goes over to where her clothes are and look through what she has for something to wear. Once she finds something, she heads into the bathroom to change while he gets changed in the room itself. Doesn't take her too long to change since they were simple clothes really. After she's dressed, she comes out and starts putting her hair up as she goes over to her shoes and grabs a pair, before going over and sitting on the edge of the bed to put them on. While she was doing that, he walked into the room from the closet. She glaces up to see him in one of his jerseys with a pair of basketball shorts on.

"Must not get distracted." She says to herself.

"You say something?"

"No. Nothing at all."

"If you say so." He grins.

"So are you ready to get your butt kicked again?" She grins.

"Not by you." He smirks. "Are you ready to get your butt kicked?" He retorts.

"Not by you." She repeats.

"Uh huh."

"After you this time."

"Fine by me."

He grabs a ball and then heads out of the bedroom first, with her following behind. They go down the stairs and then outside, going to the basketball court that wasn't too far away. When they get there, he puts the ball on the floor, using his foot to hold it in place. The first thing he does is take off the jersey he was wearing.

"Hot already?" She asks, doing her best to not get distracted.

"Maybe just a bit."

"And all we did was walk over here."

"It's hotter over here then it was over there."

"I'm sure...because I'm just fine."

"You sure? You look awfully hot to me."

"Aha...charmer."

"Always for you."

"And I love it."

"Good. That makes me happy."

"Good. It should."

"Shall we start the game?" He grins, picking up the ball and tossing it at her.

"We shall."

She dribbles the ball a few times before checking the ball to him.

"The only thing you got on me is the height advantage, but I still think I can beat you. I mean I did last time no problem."

"That's because I let you distract me...not happening this time."

"You keep saying that."

"I do." He nods. "It's not going to happen, that's why."

"Sure."

She then tries to go around him, only to have him block her. She goes to make a basket, but he stops the ball. He dribbles around her, her trying everything for him to miss it. He stops not to far away, shooting the ball and making a basket.

"Lucky shot."

"That? That was nothing. There was no luck needed there."

"This is going to be a long day."

"It just might be."

"Because..." She trails off as she gets tossed the ball. She then shoots it from where she was and it manages to get in. "...we're gonna tie a lot."

"This will be an interesting game then."

"Very."

She tosses him back the ball and he tries to make another basket only to have her block him. He tires again and misses, then she gets the ball and shoots, making the basket. The games goes on like that for about an hour until they're tied and one more shot wins the game.

"First person to get a basket wins the game."

"That person's going to be me." He confidently says.

"Oh so confident. But that's going to be me...again."

"I don't think so." He grins, starting to flex a bit.

"Really? That's so not gonna work on me this time...not today." She laughs.

"No?" He turns around so his back is to her, showing off his tattoo while he flexes again.

"...nope."

"I sense hesitation." He chuckles.

"Had to compose myself for a second there. I'm good now."

"You sure about that." He smirks, stepping closer to her. "I don't think you can hold out." He moves his fingers over the waist of her shorts.

She tenses up a bit, closing her eyes and that's when he takes the ball. When she opens her eyes, she sees him make the basket.

"Oh no you didn't."

"Oh I do believe I did." He grins.

"You..."

"Meeee."

"And I said I wouldn't let you get to me with the distractions."

"I just know all the ways to get you distracted."

"I may just have to get you back for that you know."

"I'll be looking forward to it."

"Just gonna have to plan a little bit."

"Take your time. I've g0t all day."

"Of course you do. You'll just never see it coming."

"I never do."

"Neither do I...when you decide to do it to me."

"I'm just that sneaky."

"You are."

"Just like you can be and are."

"I've had time to learn how to be." She grins.

"I'm sure you have."

"So we have...what...another few hours or so to kill before dinner tonight?"

"Yeah." He takes his phone out to check the time. "About 3 more."

"Well I just need some time to relax before we head back to the house." She says as she sits on the ground.

"No problem." He walks to the bench that was there, getting two waters then walking over and handing on to her as he sits.

She thanks him as she takes it from him.

"So I didn't get to you at all during our game did I?"

"Yes...no...maybe a little."

"I thought so."

"I don't know how I did it, but I managed to stay focused just enough."

"That surprises me...because you're easily distracted normally."

"Right? I'm surprised myself." He chuckles. "Must have been all that time I took looking at you while you were sleeping."

"Awww."

"It's true. I always watch you when you sleep. You're just so beautiful."

"And peaceful...I know."

"Exactly." He puts his arm over her shoulder, pulling her close to him then kissing the top of her head.

"Which is why I like coming home. Get the chance to sleep in, so you can watch me sleep. When we're in hotels, we always got something going on work related and I can't really sleep in for you to get that chance."

"No and that's why I like to come home whenever we can so I get to do that."

"Also why I hate having to leave this place when we have to be out of town for work. So much easier when we're in Florida in general for a show. Can just come right here."

"That does make things a whole lot easier."

After having sat there for a while, she had relaxed and decided that they could head back. He nods, and they get up, grabbing everything and heading back. Once in the house, he puts the ball away while she heads upstairs.

"Where you going?"

"Shower."

"Oh. That makes sense." He laughs.

"Gonna take it now so I don't end up forgetting."

"I doubt you'd forget, but aright."

"You'd be surprised. You still have no shirt on. I would've gotten distracted."

"True..."

"You want to come along don't you?"

"I would love to, but that's up to you."

"Well it would be easier than you waiting. I do tend to take a bit of time. And it saves hot water."

"If you're sure you don't mind."

"Well we love each other don't we?"

"We do...very much."

"Then I think we'll be able to handle it."

"Alright." He starts to walk toward her.

"You just have to control yourself, that's all."

"I should be able to do that."

"Good." She nods.

They then head the rest of the way up the stairs, to the bedroom then the bathroom. After stepping into the bathroom, she turns the water on and makes sure it's not too hot, letting that heat up as he gets towels and then they start to undress. Once the water is heated up, telling by the steam in the room, she steps into the shower first, followed by him. She decides to let him help, so after getting her hair wet, she hands him the shampoo, one that's scented and he loves so much. She turns her back to him and he runs the shampoo through her hair until he feels he's got it all in. He motions to her that he's done and she washes all the soap out under the water. She washes it one more time before taking the body wash which was scented just the same and clean my body with that. He didn't want to go too far, so he only helped with the parts of her body that he felt was okay to touch, the normal areas, so he got to be a bit touchy but not too much to get carried away. She got the other areas, and then did the same for him. When they were done, he got out first and wrapped a towel around himself before handing her one, and she wrapped that around herself before stepping out.

"Have I told you how beautiful you are?"

"Many times."

"Good. I want you to know that and never forget it."

"Well how can I possibly forget it when you tell me every day?"

"That's the point. I tell you so you won't forget."

"And I love that you do tell me every day. Wasn't called that too often in the past. So I've always pointed out any flaw I saw about myself."

"You have no flaws. No one ever called you that because they're blind. You're perfect and have no flaws at all."

"Oh I know. I believe you. Leaving all that where it belongs...in the past."

"That's where it belongs. All that matters is right here and now."

"Exactly."

"I do think we should get dressed, even though I did like what I saw, I might be able to control myself again."

"Right." She giggles, kissing him quick before leaving the bathroom to find comfortable clothes to change into.

Since it was fairly warm out, she just got a pair of shorts and a tank top. He did the same as well, waiting for her to change so he could.

"Meet you downstairs?" She asks.

"Sure. I shouldn't be much longer."

"Alright. I think I'll pick out a movie, that should pass the rest of the time we have left."

"Sounds like a plan." He nods.

She exits the room and heads downstairs and into the living room. She goes over to the movies and look through for one to watch. But that's when she notices a bag next to the stand, that wasn't there last night. She's curious of course, so she grabs the bag and looks through it. She finds two crystal bears. One has a bowtie and the other has something pink around it's neck like a flower of some sort or something. She's still admiring them, as Alex comes downstairs.

"What you looking at?"

"This has to be another one of your gifts you hid so I would find it."

"Depends on what it is."

"These..." She trails off, getting up from the floor and walking over to him to show him.

"Oh...those." He looks at them. "Yup. They're from me."

"They actually have some meaning to them...how they're leaning towards each other. Represents a first kiss, and it reminded me of ours." He continues.

"Awww."

"That's extremely sweet." She adds.

"Only for you."

"I love it."

"Great."

"I just feel like I could cry right now. Tears of happiness, don't worry."

"Happy tears are good."

She puts the bears down in a safe place so they wouldn't break, before wrapping her arms around his neck in a hug.

"You're just so good to me. Sometimes I feel like all this is a dream and I'm gonna wake up from it."

"It's not a dream and you're not going to wake up. I'm so good to you because I love you that much."

"How did I end up so lucky?"

"You just did, but I'm the lucky one."

"We both are."

"Yes we are."

"Got so distracted by your gift, I didn't even get a chance to pick out a movie." She laughs.

"That's alright. We can look together now."

She nods and they go over to where the movies are and look through what there is, deciding on a movie. He takes it and goes to put it in and start it, while she goes to the kitchen and get the chocolate that she put back in the fridge from this morning, bringing that into the living room for snacks during the movie. She goes over the couch, sitting down next to him.

"You can have some too if you want."

"Maybe in a little bit."

She nods and then gets more comfortable, by moving so her legs drape across his lap and she's snuggled into his side as the movie starts. He puts one hand over her shoulders while his other rests on her legs. In the meantime, hours later, Mike and I had landed finally. I look out the window to see where we are.

"Are we..." I trail off. "...in Malibu?"

"Yes we are." He grins.

"I've always wanted to come here. How did you know?"

"I have my ways."

"I-I just don't know what to say...this is all way to much. You so didn't have to do all this."

"Ah, but I wanted to."

"I know and it's very sweet of you. I owe you so much for all this." I give him a quick kiss.

"Just being with me is good enough."

"Awwww."

"I still want to do more though." I add.

"I'm sure you'll think of something."

"I know I will." I grin. "I just need to think about it."

"Well you all week...well the rest of the week anyway."

"The rest of the week? How long are we here for?"

"Well today is Thursday. Tomorrow and the weekend."

"I didn't think we'd be staying here that long. That's way to expensive for you."

"It's fine. Trust me."

"I do trust you, I just feel bad you always spend your money on me."

"You're worth everything."

"If you think so."

"I do think so."

I smile up at him, a few tears falling. He uses his thumb to wipe them away then kisses my forehead.

"I love you."

"I love you too...more then you will ever know."

"Touche."

"Get our bags then head out to the car?"

"Mmhmm." He nods.

He stands up, moving into the isle so I'm able to get up. I slide across the seats then take his hand as I stand. He links his fingers with mine then we head off the plane to get our bags. We make our way to where the bags are, getting all of them. When we have them all, we then head out to the car and out everything in. After everything is in the car, we get into the front, and he drives off away from the airport and to where we would be staying. We pass a few hotels on the way, me wondering why he wasn't stopping at any of them.

"Mike...what hotel are we staying at?"

"That's a surprise. We're almost there."

"You're spoiling me way to much today."

"You'll forever be spoiled by me."

"Even though you don't have to."

"Which I know."

"But you'll still do it."

"Exactly."

I shift in my seat, leaning my head on his while he starts to pull up to a cute little bungalow, far away from any other house.

"Mike...you got a house?"

"Rented it for the weekend, but yes."

"It's amazing."

"I thought so too, it's perfect."

"It really is. I can't wait to see what it looks like inside."

"Oh, I guarantee you're gonna love it."

"I'm sure I will."

"Why don't you go ahead and look. I'll get our things."

"Alright." I nod, giving him a quick kiss.

He grins as he watches me exit the car with excitement and go up to the front door. He gets out of the car and gets the stuff out of the backseat first, before getting the stuff in the trunk. I walk into the house and the first thing I see is the amazing view of the beach out the sliding glass doors. I look on in awe for a bit before exploring the house. I look at the bedrooms, bathrooms, living room then kitchen. I then make my way over to the doors, opening them and stepping out on the deck, watching the waves crash as a light warm breeze blows. After Mike gets all our luggage inside, he leaves it where it is right now, before noticing me standing outside on the deck. He grins before making his way out there himself. He walks up behind me and snakes his arms around my waist, his chin resting on my shoulder.

"It's so gorgeous out here."

"One of the reasons why I picked it."

"This is better than I ever imagined it to be."

"And this is your gift for Valentine's Day."

"It's perfect. I love it." I turn in his arms, giving him a kiss.

He smiles against my lips, holding the kiss longer this time, neither one of us wanting to stop anytime soon. He gives me a boost, my legs going around his waist and my arms around his neck. He starts to walk inside as carefully as he can. Once inside, he stops in the kitchen, setting me down on the counter. My legs stay around his waist, my arms moving to his shoulders. His hands begin to wander from place to place. From my back to my sides, to my hips, before they rest on my thighs like they always end up doing. I know exactly what's coming, so one hand moves to his hair as I try and prepare for what's coming like always. He smirks into the kiss, lightly squeezing down just enough for me to wiggle a bit. His hand goes back to resting then when I least expect it, he squeezes down. My fingers grip his hair while any noises that come from are muffled by the kiss. He gives me a break again, his hand resting there on my thigh. That's when he takes my bottom lip between his teeth and starts to nip gently at it, as I've come to love the more he did it to me. I make a few soft noise, pulling him closer to me with my legs. My arms go around his neck, making sure he can't go anywhere until he's done. His hands then move and start to slip under the shirt I had on, his fingertips touching the skin. As his fingers trailed along my skin slowly and lightly, it caused goosebumps to form where his fingers had been. That causes me to shiver a bit, and he smirks again knowing that he's getting to me again with every little thing he does now. I cling to him, kissing him harder. I try to retaliate, but he catches me and runs his fingers over my skin making me stop what I was trying to do.

"...I know what you're...trying to do..."

"...no fair..."

"There'll be plenty of time for that."

"You're so going to get it."

"Expecting it." He grins.

"Good. You better be."

"I always have to."

"That's right."

"So, what do you say we go unpack our things?"

"That might be good."

"And then you can choose what we should do today."

"That's going to be tough...the beach."

"I knew you would pick that."

"Well, I've always wanted to see the beach here so..."

"Of course. Which is why I got this place on the beach."

"And I'm so happy you did."

"Only the best for you."

"So says you."

"I give you nothing but the best don't I?"

"Yes you do."

"Then that proves my statement true."

"Yeah...you're right." I chuckle.

"I'll continue to keep proving it to be true."

"Of course you will."

"That's how much I love you."

"I know you love me that much and I love you a lot too."

"And you show me that every day, so I know."

"Good."

"So do I get to pick out a swimsuit after unpacking or are you surprising me again?"

"You did pack them all so I don't think you'll be that surprised."

"Unless you snuck one in there without me knowing."

"I don't know...maybe..."

"You did...didn't you? I know that look on your face."

"Possibly..."

"You so did."

"I said I maybe, possibly did. We won't know until we unpack."

"Well, we should unpack then."

"We should." I nod. "Going to let me walk or..."

"Oh right." He chuckles. "Forgot I still had a hold of you."

"Sure you did." I laugh.

He reluctantly lets me go and takes my hand as I hop down from the counter. I go and get my things before bringing them into the bedroom, starting to unpack. The first thing I did was take my dress and his suit into the closet, hanging those up. Once that's done, I head back into the room and start to put my clothes away while he does the same. It takes a bit of time to get done, but when everything is away, I take the swimsuit I picked and headed in to the bathroom to change, locking the door. While I change in the bathroom, he changes in the room itself like always. He changes fairly quickly and sits on the bed, facing the bathroom, waiting for me to come out so he can see what I'm wearing for a swimsuit. Since it didn't take me to long to get ready, I just stayed in the bathroom making him. I adjusted the tube top part of the bathing suit to make sure everything looked perfect. It was a pale pink in color with a few accent colors on it. When I was ready, I peeked my head out the door.

"Ready to see it?" I grin.

"I've been ready for a few minutes now." He says eagerly.

"Maybe I should've come out then. I've been ready for a few minutes now."

"You just love making me wait, that's what it is."

"Starting the torture early is more like it."

"I wanna see."

"Alright." I chuckle, opening the door and leaning against the door frame.

"Picked one of my favorites." He smirks as his eyes wander.

"They are all your favorite, but yes I did."

"Love how it looks on you."

"It does look good on me." I smirk, running my hands down my sides.

"It's perfect."

"Isn't it?"

"It really is." He nods.

"And look at you..." I eye him, licking my lips. "...wearing my favorite that brings out your eyes perfectly."

"Exactly why I wore this one." He smirks.

"Tease." I bite my lip.

"You love it."

"So much."

"As do I when you tease."

"Of course you do." I smirk the hurry out of the room.

"Heyyy."

"Hey what?" I call from the kitchen as I head to the doors to the deck.

"Hurrying out of the room like that."

"Oops? I thought you were behind me."

"Was still mesmerized."

"My bad?"

"Suuure."

"You coming? I'm almost outside."

"I'm coming."

When I see him coming out of the room, I start to head across the deck and down the stairs. Once I hear the doors close, I start to sprint away.

"You're just asking for it aren't you?"

"Hmmm...maybe..." I grin.

"Then you're so in for it later."

"Later as in tonight or whenever you catch me?"

"Maybe both."

"I think I'll take my chances."

"Alright then. The more you run away from me like that, the more you'll be in for it tonight, that's all."

"Bring it on mister." I challenge as I stop running and turn around.

"Oh it's being brought." He smirks.

He then starts to jog towards me. I squeak as I try to run away from him.

"I'm gonna catch you."

"Oh no you're not."

"Oh yes I am."

"Neevvveeerrrr."

"We'll see about that."

He starts to pick up speed while I start to get slowed down by the sand. Before I know it, he's caught me.

"Nooo."

"I always catch you. Whether it's the sand or the water...slows you down." He chuckles.

"I guess I shouldn't run in the sand or water then."

"Good attempt though."

"Not good enough. You still caught me." I pout.

"But it's still fun."

"It actually is."

"So you don't have to stop trying to run away from me. I like chasing after you."

"Very good to know."

"It's all about having fun, which is what happens."

"I just love having fun."

"So do I. We have fun in lots of different ways." He smirks.

"Mmmm...that we do." I turn in his arms, running my hands slowly down his chest then trying to wiggle from his grip.

"I don't think so...not this time...I think it's time you went in the water now."

"Awww."

"Wait...that look...don't you dare..."

He says nothing, he just picks me up and heads for the water. I do everything I can to distract him, but nothing works. The sound of the water gets closer then I feel it splash up from hitting it legs.

"Don't you dare. I know what you're doing."

"What am I doing?"

"You're going to drop me into the water."

"I'm going to do no such thing." He smirks, falling back in the water with me in his arms.

"See? Told you." He says when we resurface.

"You still made me go in faster."

"Yes, but I did not physically drop you in like you thought I was going to do."

"True...you're safe...for now."

"Oooh, so scared." He chuckles.

"Going to play that way huh?" I give him a look. "Let's see how long you can go without touching me then." I swim away from him.

"I believe I can last longer than you can."

"Rules are, you can't touch me, but I can touch you." I smirk, moving my legs so the rub up against him.

"Ohhh that's not fair."

"Scared now?"

"Far from it."

"Alright then." I shrug, moving so I'm staying up in the water.

I run my hands over top of the water, moving with the waves, making up he gets a view he can't resist.

"You're killing me...but I'm strong."

"I'll get you to crack."

"We'll see about that."

"Mhm." I grin.

I then start to float around in the water around him until I'm behind him. I slowly move my hands down his back, letting my nails lightly touch his skin. I lean lean close to him, kiss across his shoulder right to the spot on his neck that gets him. I feel hi tense when I graze the spot then I move away from him with a smirk.

"Okay...might be struggling just a bit..."

"A bit?" I move back closer to him, my hands going right to the waist of his trunks, then around to the front.

"Okay...more than a bit..."

"Hmmm..." I move my hand to his thigh, moving my fingers lightly over his trunks. "Ah ah ah." I say when I feel his hand over mine. "No touching...remember?"

"Kind of forgot."

"Sure you did." I smirk. "Ready to give in?" I inch my hand farther up his thigh.

"...nope." He says hesitantly.

"You hesitated." I chuckle. "I think you are." I whisper in his ear, my hand going as high as it can, gently squeezing down.

He groans, and it doesn't take him too much longer to give in as he can't take it anymore.

"Alright, I give in. I just want to touch you."

"Come get me." I whisper in he ear before swimming away with a smirk.

"Oh, you've made it so much easier." He grins as he takes a few minutes before coming after me.

"I did." I grin. "Come on big boy, I'm waiting."

"You won't be waiting for long." He smirks.

I decide to just stay where I was, floating in the water. That's when I go to turn around to face him since my back was to him, but when I did turn around, he wasn't there anymore.

"Mike?" I call, looking around.

Little did I know, he had disappeared under the water. I didn't realize he did, until a few moments after when arms wrapped around me from behind and I got pulled under the water. I hold my breath, closing my eyes as I'm taken under. When we come to the surfaced, I wipe the water off my eyes then open them.

"Oh you."

"Me." He grins.

"So not fair."

"You should know by now how sneaky I really am."

"I know, I just wasn't expecting you to do that."

"Well now you should expect it."

"From now on, I will." I laugh. "And let me guess, you're not letting go anytime soon, right?"

"Exactly."

"Can I at least turn so I'm facing you?"

"Of course you can."

He loosens his grip just enough so I'm able to shift in his arms. Once I'm facing him, my arms go around his neck and my legs around his waist.

"You made it oh so hard to resist touching you earlier." He remarks.

"I did? Oops." I giggle.

"You knew what you were doing."

"Knew what?" I act innocent.

"You know exactly what."

"What? This?" I wiggle on his lap a bit.

"That's...one of the things..."

"Oops?"

"Suure."

"It got you to give in so...mission accomplished." I grin, then nip at his bottom lip.

"...this time..."

"Uh huh...sure." I chuckle, nipping at him lip then running my tongue over it before pulling away.

"You really really are asking for it."

"What if I am? What are you going to do?"

"You really have to ask?"

"No...since your hands are...wandering..."

"Actions do speak louder than words." He nods.

"...they...do..." I bite my lip, leaning my forehead against his.

"Getting to you?" He asks, even though he knows the answer.

"...no."

"You sure now? You hesitated."

"I-" I cling to him when his hand goes over a certain spot. "...okay...you are."

"I thought so. I know all the spots that drive you crazy."

"...you...do..." I take a deep breath then let it out.

"All the more fun for me."

"Of course...it is..."

"And I'm just getting you back for what you did to me."

"You know hoe sensitive I am though."

"I know."

"And you take advantage of it all the time."

"You love it though."

"I do."

"I may get away with leaving some marks on you this weekend."

"You just might."

"Well I already planned on it so..."

"I have no say in it."

"That's right." He chuckles.

"If you leave one before dinner, make it small."

"Deal." He nods.

He continues to let his hands wander while I rest my head on his shoulder, trying to relax thee best I could. He feels me start to relax, so that's when he floats around the water with me in his arms, helping me relax more. Once I'm completely relaxed, he leads me out of the water and onto the beach, where he sits and he has me sit between his legs and lean back against him.

"This is just...perfect."

"I couldn't agree more."

"So far, this has to be my favorite beach spot in California."

"May have to come here more often then."

"Can we?"

"Just for you." He nods.

"Yayy." I cheer, looking up at him.

"Whenever you want, we'll come here."

"That will be soon."

"Now how did I know that?"

"Because you know me that well."

"Yes I do."

"Love you." I smile up at him.

"Love you too."

He kisses me quick, stealing a few kisses after. I rest my head on his shoulder, nuzzling his neck.

"You're going to love the dinner tonight, I just know it."

"I know I will. I'll be with you." I grin. "I just hope you didn't go all out this time."

"Well, you'll just have to wait and see and judge for yourself."

"Hmm...I get the feeling you did, but I'll wait to see."

"Exactly."

"How much longer do you think until we have to get ready?"

"Maybe a few or so."

"Alright." I nod, trying to hide a yawn.

"Is someone tired?"

"No..." I shake my head.

"You sure?"

"Uh huh." I nod slowly.

"Alright then."

He keeps his arms over my shoulders while we sit there for a bit just listening to the water. For the sound of the water, I didn't realize how tired I actually was until my eyes started to slowly close. I tried my best to keep them open, but soon they stayed shut. The next time he looked down at me, he noticed that I was sleeping. He chuckles, before kissing the top of my head. He then moves and carefully picks me up in his arms and starts to head back. Once he makes it to the house, he heads right to the bedroom. He takes off my swimsuit the best he can then pulls the covers down, laying me on the bed. He takes his off as well then sets an alarm in case he goes to sleep. He then climbs into bed next to me, pulling me close to him. In the meantime, Alex was busy downstairs most of the night. Once everything was situated downstairs, he came upstairs and changed for dinner himself while Shauna was in the bathroom getting ready as well. Since he knew what he was going to wear, he went into the closet to get dressed while she was still in the bathroom. When he was done getting ready, he walked back into the room then sat on the bed, waiting for her to get done so he could do his hair. She doesn't take too much longer, and once she was done, she opens the door and walks out. When he heads the door open, he looks in that direction, his eyes going wide.

"You know, you could've come in. I was dressed."

"I-I wasn't s-sure." He stutters a bit.

"That's what knocking's for, but it's okay."

"True..." He trails off, looking you over. "...gorgeous."

"Well you did pick it out afterall."

"I know...it's better than I thought it would look."

"That's a good thing."

"A very good thing."

"So what else do you need to do that you needed to wait for?"

"Not much. Just my hair."

"Ah, well the bathroom is all yours."

"I'll be right out. It shouldn't take long." He says as he stands from the bed.

"Alright." She nods.

He walks over, giving her a quick kiss before going into the bathroom. Once in here, he styles his hair the way he knows she loves it. When he's done, he walks back into the room.

"Perfect."

"I thought so too." He grins.

"So shall we get the dinner started?" He asks.

"We shall." She nods.

"After you." He grins.

"Of course." She chuckles, grabbing what she needs then leaving the room.

He keeps a smile hidden on his face as he follows her out of the room and down the stairs. As they get closer, he waits to see her reaction to what she's about to see. They get to the dining room for her to see low lighting, but candles lit and various foods on the table.

"Well?" He comes behind her, hands resting on her waist.

"You did all of this?"

"I did." he nods. "You like it?"

"Like it? Try love it. This is what you were doing down here for hours."

"It was. Hard to keep it from you too."

"But you did a good job at it."

"I did." He grins. "That nap you had helped a lot too."

"Of course."

He leads her over to the table, pulling out a chair for her to sit in then scoots her up once she sits. He then goes over to his chair and sits down.

"If you haven't noticed, everything made is your favorite."

"I didn't notice, but I see now."

"And this isn't the only thing I have planned for tonight either."

"No? What else could you possibly have planned?"

"You'll see. But you might just have to change out of the dress and into a swimsuit. That's all I'm saying."

"Now you've got me wondering."

"And that's a good thing."

"Well I can't wait to see what it is."

"It's something we'll both enjoy."

"That's a lot of things." She chuckles.

"Well then, it'll keep you guessing then."

"It sure will."

"But anyways, let's eat."

He nods, letting her get what she wants first. She takes a little bit of everything for now then he gets what he wants.

"Hope everything tastes alright. I tried."

"I know it will. You're an amazing cook."

"You're better than me though."

"We both cook the same."

"I still think you do a better job than me."

"What have I told you about putting yourself down like that? You shouldn't doubt yourself at anything you do."

"I know..."

"So don't. It all smells amazing and it always tastes just as good."

"And as long as I think that, that's all that matters." She adds.

"It's all that ever matters to me."

"As it should." She nods.

She then takes a bite of what she picked, a sound of delight escaping her lips for how good it tastes.

"So so good." She says once she eats what she had in her mouth already.

"Good. I was hoping it would be."

"Makes me wonder what's for dessert."

"You'll see." He grins.

"Surprises, surprises."

"Today's all about them."

"As I've been seeing. Even though you surprise me every day regardless of holidays or not."

"I do that because I want to and love you."

"And I love you too. So very much."

"You show me everyday. I could never forget that."

"Never would let you forget either."

"I didn't think you would."

They continue to eat what they had taken for the food. She eats until she gets full, but not too full so that she can't have the dessert. So once she's done, she leans back against the chair as she waits for him to finish. Not to long after she finishes, he gets done as well.

"Ready for dessert?"

"Saved enough room for it." She nods.

"Good. I'll go get that." He says, getting up and taking their plates with him.

He comes back with not only a piece of cake on each plate, but also a few cookies which were decorated for the day. He walks over to the table, setting her plate in front of her then goes back to his chair.

"You were really busy earlier weren't you? Unless this was all made ahead of time."

"This was made ahead of time, everything else was done today."

"How were you able to hide it from me?"

"It wasn't easy, but I just kept them in a box that I knew you wouldn't look in."

"So that's what that was. Oh you sneak."

"That's me." He grins.

"I think I'll be looking forward to this day from now on every year."

"Good. That was the whole idea."

"Gonna spoil me like this next month on my birthday I suppose?"

"Oh you have no idea."

"Oh boy."

"That's right. You deserve the best and that is what you're going to get. You will forever be spoiled with me."

"Nothing wrong with that."

"Nothing at all."

"So...can you tell me what you have planned for after this? Please?" She asks, giving him the pout and the eyes that get him all the time, after eating some of the dessert.

"As much as I want to...no. It's a surprise."

"Awwww."

"Sorry, but I'm not going to give in that easy."

"This time anyway."

"We'll see about that."

"I may just have to make you wait some time with me putting on a swimsuit..." She trails off.

"I...I can deal with that."

"Can you?" She asks innocently.

"I'm gonna have to since I'm not spilling on what we're doing after."

"That's right." She smirks.

They go back to eating dessert, Shauna taking her time since it was that good. This time, he was done before her and waited anxiously for her to finish. After she does finish, he gets up from his chair and comes over, taking her plate with his and bringing it into the kitchen, putting them in the sink. She goes to help put everything away, but he insists that she sits there and relaxes while he does it all, not letting her lift a finger.

"You're to sweet."

"Well today is all about you and you don't have to do a thing. I've got everything."

"If you say so."

"I do." He nods. "Now go on upstairs, I'll meet you up there."

"Alright." She nods, getting up and giving him a quick kiss before heading upstairs.

"I can only hope you'll be changed when I come up there." He calls to me.

"If you take long enough I might be."

"I'll take my chances."

"I'm sure you will."

After making it upstairs and to the bedroom, she goes through the swimsuits she has, looking for the best one. Once she finds it, she heads into the bathroom to change into it. While she was doing that, he was finishing up with everything downstairs. Once all the food was put away, he put the dishes in the dishwasher then headed up to the room to find a swimsuit for himself. He kind of groans inwardly when he sees the bathroom door shut, so he knows she's still getting ready, despite really hoping she would be done so he wouldn't have to wait too long.

"Almost done in there?"

"Almost."

"Give me a hint of what you're wearing while I wait? Something new or something I've seen before and love?"

"Something new."

"Ooooh. Now I'm excited."

"How excited?"

"Very very very excited."

"Good." She grins. "About 10 more minutes and I'll be done."

"10 minutes? That'll seem like forever."

"To you it will. You'll survive."

"I'll try."

"Good luck." She chuckles.

Since she was only teasing him about the time, she finishes up what she needed to do then opens the door slightly. She sees him looking at the door intently then steps out. Once she does, he almost falls off the bed.

"Don't hurt yourself now." She laughs.

"I...you...wow..."

"Something I bought a while ago."

"And I'm just seeing it now?"

"I'm good at hiding things too you know."

"I've come to see that. I'm glad I get to see it now. I love it."

"I knew you would."

"It looks perfect on you."

"I kind of thought that, but I wasn't too sure."

"Are you kidding? This is the one for you. It was made to be worn by you. It is now my new favorite one."

"Well there are times I get self-conscious, but that's like really rare now."

"You should never be. There's nothing wrong with you. You're gorgeous, have a great body, everything about you is perfect. Never feel insecure again."

"I don't have to around you, I know that. That's why I said it's rare for it to happen now. Very rare."

"Good. You shouldn't be that way anyway."

"That's all in the past with other things."

"Exactly where they should be."

"So, I think you should show me what your plan was for me changing into this."

"I will in a bit." He looks her over, not wanting to move his eyes. "Alright...follow me." He stands, holding out his hand.

She nods, walking over and taking his hand. He leads her out of the room and back downstairs, before heading outside.

"Close your eyes."

"Alright." She says, doing so.

He makes sure she's not peeking before leading her over to where he wanted her to. He tells her to open her eyes and whens she does, she sees they're at the hot tub and there are candles lite all around it.

"This is amazing. Today just keeps getting better and better."

"That was the whole idea. Only the best for you today."

"Sad the day has to end though."

"It doesn't have to. I'll keep it going tomorrow, the day after that, and the day after that. It will be like thins for you forever."

"Of course you will. You already do so..."

"You deserve to be treated like this. You're my queen and I'm going to treat you like one."

"Awww."

"And that's the truth."

"You can get in first if you want."

"Okay." He nods, walking over and climbing in then sitting down.

She then follows, getting in herself and then going over and sitting on his lap, his arms instantly wrapping around her as she leans back against him.

"This is so nice."

"Should do it more often. Hard to when we're on the road I know."

"It is, but we still make time for moments like this. That's all that matters."

"That's right."

"I really do love this swimsuit on you." He says as his hands wander a bit.

"May just have to wear it a lot more now."

"Will you?"

"When we come home, yes. This will be an at-home one specifically."

"I can deal with that."

"But at least we're getting out of the cold months now so when we are on the road we can go to the beach a lot more, so you can see more swimsuits."

"I've been looking forward to that all winter long."

"Of course you have." She laughs.

"It's been forever since I seen you in one last."

"That's why I hate winter weather. So restricted to what you can wear unless you wanna freeze to death."

"Right. We can't have that happening."

"Although, you are good for keeping me warm afterall."

"I am. That's part of my job."

"And I love you for it."

"I love you too." He kisses her cheek.

"Starting to get more touchy than usual."

"Can't help it. There's so much to touch this time."

"You're welcome."

He grins, letting his hands wander a bit more. He leans down, lightly kissing her shoulder. She sighs in content, her eyes closing and she rests her head back on his shoulder, her face nuzzling his neck. He grins against her shoulder, making his way to her neck slowly. When he reaches her neck, he takes his time, not even going after his favorite spot yet. He wants to save that for last. So he completely avoids it, kissing around it, the kisses being lingering as he moves along. She squeezes her hands on his wrist since they were resting there, a few noises being muffled against his neck. He smirks against her neck, and then starts to add in a few nips here and there, which causes her to squeeze his wrist again, while one of her hands move to the back of his neck where her nails run across the skin lightly. He twitches a bit with a low growl coming from his throat. While she does that, he starts to move closer to his favorite spot, hovering over it before he attaches his lips to it, using his tongue as he suck at the spot. At that point, her hand moves from his neck to his hair and just as she starts to tense, she tugs on it gently. She has since moved from his neck and just kept her head leaned back and rested in his shoulder. As he continued, she tried to hide any noises, but he knew she was holding back. So he tried even harder, not giving up until he heard what he wanted to. Soon it got to be to much for her and she gave him exactly what he wanted. He smirks against her neck then starts to move slowly to her lips. Before he could even reach her lips, she turned in his arms so that she was facing him. She met him the rest of the way and pressed her lips against his eagerly, and her arms going around his neck as she got as close as she could to him. His one hand rests on her hip while the other goes to her back. He holds her close to him, his fingers lightly moving over the skin on her back. After a while, her arms move and her hands start to wander this time, but while they wander, she adds in her nails and drags them along his skin as she goes. She does that until she reaches his abs. She moves back just a bit so her hands could go there, and they only rest there for now. He tenses a bit, both his hands now resting on her hips while the kiss start to heat up with more intensity. From there, she again drags her nails across his skin before moving to his indents. She drags her nails a bit over those as well, only to get the reaction of him gripping her hips tighter. She smirks into the kiss the best she could before she presses her fingers into the indents and that ends up driving him even crazier.

"...can't take...much...more..."

"...gonna lose control...?"

"...uh huh..."

"...then go ahead."

He pulls from her lips and gives her a look.

"Really?"

"Really."

"We love each other...I'm ready...so why not." She adds.

"As long as your sure."

"Do I look unsure to you?"

"No."

"Then I'm sure."

"Alright." He nods, pulling her back to him, pressing his lips back to hers.

"..but not here...the bedroom..." She mumbles.

"Got it." He stands with her in his arms.

Her legs go around his waist, arms around his neck as he carefully gets out of the hot tub. Since the candle all went out, all he had to so was shut off the hot tub. He did so then headed back inside and up to the room. As he does that, she does kind of make it hard for him as she starts to kiss his neck, getting the spots that she has come to find out were sensitive for him. He has to stop a few times, and that just causes her to grin against his neck. He makes it to the bedroom and as soon as he walks inside, he closes the door with his foot and then presses her against it.

"You're really asking for it." He smirks.

"Maybe." She grins.

"Keep that up and you'll really get it."

"Oooh, I'm scared."

He gives her a look then moves his hands to her thighs, squeezing down on them right away. With her lips still attached to his neck though, whatever sounds she does make, end up muffled into it. But she does end up clinging to him as she tenses. He then tries to move his head so that she's no longer kissing along his neck and the spots that make him go crazy. She whines in protest because she was having fun, but he squeezes down on her thighs again, catching her offguard again and the noises aren't muffled, they're loud and clear to him this time. He smirks then moves her from the wall and takes her over to the bed where he lays her down. He makes sure her head is on the pillows then he hovers he, hands wandering to the top of her swimsuit, playing with it.

"Go ahead...we'll be even as far as clothing we have on." She nods.

His hands then move to her back, her arching a bit, then he unhooks the top and tosses it to the side. He takes a moment to look her over before kissing all the new skin he can reach. Once he gets every inch of that, which is a lot, he makes his way back up to her lips, deciding to leave a nip here and there as he went, which ended up making her arch up into him every time. Once he reaches her lips, she pulls him down so that he's pressed against her, her fingers trailing down his back as far as they can go. His hands rest on her sides now until they start to go for her bottoms. She stops him, telling him to grab the blanket first. He nods, and does so, pulling the blankets over them before going back for her bottoms. His and hers come off and the rest of the night is spent celebrating Valentine's Day. Meanwhile, Mike and I had just gotten out of the shower after or beach day and nap. I was in the bathroom getting ready and since I wanted my dress to be a surprise, I kicked him out. I had my hair done in loose wavy curls and was working on my make up. I made sure everything looked perfect before putting on body spray and lip gloss. When I was all done, I walked out of the bathroom to see him just getting off the phone.

"Who was that?" I ask as I walk over to my shoes and slip them on.

"Oh, no one. Nothing to worry about. I'll tell you later."

"Oh, alright."

"You'll like it. It's very good news."

"Oh? How come I can't hear it now then?"

"I wanna tell you after dinner as a surprise."

"One surprise after another with you today."

"I'm all about surprises."

"I've noticed that." I grin. "What about mine?" I do a spin so he gets the whole view of the dress.

"Amazing."

"I hope it's fine for where we're going."

"Oh yeah, it's fine."

"Good." I nod. "I swear...that suit looks better on you the more you wear it." I bite my lip.

"I do make it look good, don't I?" He grins.

"Yes you do." I slowly say.

"As I do with every other suit I have."

"Very true."

"But this is your favorite, I can tell."

"It really is." I slowly nod. "Brings out your eyes so perfectly."

"I'll try to wear it a lot more for you then."

"Please?"

"Promise."

"Yayy."

"So shall we get going then?"

"Yes we shall."

He holds his hand out and I take it, and he leads me out of the bedroom. We head through the house and as we pass the kitchen, he stops. He leads me to the island in the middle where there was a heart shaped box of chocolates and a vase of pink roses.

"Oh Mike..." I gasp. "...these are beautiful." I step forward to smell them.

"Just like you."

"Charmer."

"Only for you."

"Awww." I blush.

"Not anyone else. You and you only."

"You're the best and that's why I love you."

"I love you too."

"I'll save the chocolates for after dinner. Let me just put them away." I say, picking them up then putting them in the fridge. "Alright. Ready now." I walk back over to him.

"Alright, well close your eyes, I'll lead you along."

"If I have to." I laugh, closing my eyes.

"Yes, you have to. This is another surprise."

"Okay. They're closed." I reach my hand out for him.

He takes it again, laces his fingers with mine and leads me out of the kitchen carefully. That's when I feel the outside air, a light breeze hit my face.

"We're outside?"

"We are."

"Dinner is outside then."

"Maybe. You'll have to wait and see."

"How much further?"

"Not to much farther."

"Okay good. Because I can't wait to see what the surprise for dinner is."

"Almost there."

He then leads me on the beach, a carpet being laid down so I would know.

"Okay...and...open."

I open my eyes to see a table set for two with candles and roses on it. Everything was already set out since we were the only ones there. The way the moonlight hit it made it look breathtaking.

"Mike..." I gasp in awe.

"You like?"

"I love it!"

"I'm glad."

"It's perfect. How did you get this all set up?"

"Well I did have help, seeing as I didn't have time to do it by myself since we took the shower together and everything."

"Right. Always one step ahead of everything."

"Yes I am."

"I've always wanted to have dinner on the beach too."

"Well now you can."

"Thanks to you." I kiss his cheek. "And you're the one I wanted it to be with."

"And that makes me happy."

"It should."

He then goes over to the chair that I'll be sitting in and pulls that out for me. I sit down, him scooting it up to the table for me. He then goes over to his chair and sits down.

"I hope you like everything made."

"I always love everything you make."

"Of course, I know."

"You make everything so perfectly."

"Because you deserve the best and only the best."

"I know I do. you tell me that all the time."

"Just like reminding you."

"I don't mind hearing it either."

"I'm glad."

"I see you made one of my favorites without even knowing it."

"Oh did I? Well would you look at that." He chuckles.

"Mhm. One of the dishes I can eat all the time."

"Find out new things everyday."

"You do." I nod then get some of the food on my fork.

Once the foot meets my lips, I moan in delight at the flavor of the food.

"Good?"

I nod, swallowing what was in my mouth. "Exquisite."

"Flavor and everything?"

"Everything. You make it beyond perfect."

"And I know, I don't have to try, but I still do anyway."

"Exactly."

"Just wait until dessert. It just may be another one of our favorites." He says as he starts to eat himself.

"You never know, it might just become one of my favorites too."

"Just have to wait and see."

"Mhm." I nod. "I want to enjoy this first."

"Right of course. No rush."

We keep eating, taking our time since the food was so good and the night was beautiful out.

"You know, the way the moonlight hits you, it makes you look even more amazing." He remarks.

"Really?"

"Yes, really. Between the candlelight and the moonlight."

"Awww." I blush slightly. "Too bad it's dark or I'd say take a picture."

"I don't need anymore light than what we have. What we have is perfect."

"Then go ahead and take one."

"I will do that." He grins, taking out his phone and doing so.

I stay in the position I was so he was able to take the picture. After he takes it, he shows it to me then he goes to post it to his Twitter.

"Before you even ask, yes this is going on my Twitter."

"You so would do that." I laugh.

"Yes I would. People need to see more of the amazing woman I love."

"Mike..." I blush. "...everyone sees me on Raw already."

"That may be true. But that's while we're working. When we're not working, it's nice to share moments like these."

"I do show my fair share of you so...alright."

"You shall be getting the mention on Twitter very shortly." He grins as he posts it.

Right after he says that, I check my Twitter and there's his tweet. 'That beautiful girl right there is the love of my life. SageXoXo.'

"Awww."

"Nothing but the truth."

"Of course it is." I smile.

"And I mean every word of it."

"I know you do."

He then leans across the table as far as he could reach, and I lean across the table the rest of the way and he kisses me quick before we go back to sitting back in our chairs and finishing dinner. When we're done, we set our plates to the side and he pulls over the dish that had dessert on it, me not being able to see since there was a lid on it.

"I'll let you take the lid off." He offers.

"Alright." I reach over, taking the lid off. "Is that..." I look at the dessert on the try. "...German chocolate cake?"

"It just might be."

"It looks like it is."

"So it is." He grins.

"Oh my god. I love you, I love you, I love you!"

"I know." He chuckles.

"This is my all time favorite. How did you know?"

"I think you know the answer to the question."

"I swear that girl tells you everything." I laugh.

"Well I wanted to know everything about you."

"So you could surprise me? Like with dinner. She told you that was my favorite."

"Exactly. She's a big help when I want to surprise you with things like this."

"I'll have to thank her later for all that."

"Of course." He nods.

I take a plate off the dish that had the cake, him taking one as well. I waste no time in taking a bit of my cake, almost melting at the taste of it. He grins as he eats his slice. I actually end up finishing mine first since it was that good. I then go for another piece.

"That good?" He chuckles.

"Mhm. Very good."

"This is how I get with this kind of cake." I add.

"So I've heard."

"She told me how you get. At first I didn't believe her, but now that I've actually witnessed it..."

"Oops. My bad."

"It's cute."

"To you. I see it as embarrassing."

"But it's not."

"If you think it's cute then I'm okay with that."

"It is cute. Trust me."

"I trust you."

"As you should." He nods.

"I do and always will."

"Good."

We go back to eating and while I was eating my second piece, he took another one himself. We sit there eating and talking occasionally. Soon I get full and push my plate away, not able to eat anymore.

"Can't eat anymore?"

"No." I shake my head. "So full."

"It was the cake I bet."

"It was. So rich. That's what did it. Happens all the time."

"Well that just leaves more leftovers for the weekend."

"If they make it that far." I laugh.

"I guess you'll be getting up during the night for a midnight snack?" He chuckles.

"I might be."

"You so will."

"Possibly." I act innocent.

"Suuure. I know you will for a fact."

"No harm in that."

"No harm at all."

"So, should we start to clean up?"

"Actually...I got that covered." He grins.

"Really? How?"

"Well you know how I had help setting this all up while we were getting ready inside?"

"Yeah..."

"They're going to clean up and put everything away for us."

"You really went all out for this dinner."

"I did."

"Then back to the house?"

"Yes, but one thing before that. You wondered who I was on the phone with earlier."

"Oh right. Who was it?"

"Well it was who I called originally to rent this place for the weekend. After seeing how much you liked it and the view of the beach...I went ahead and decided to buy this place instead."

"You...wait...what?"

"I bought the house. Happy Valentine's Day." He grins.

"That house? The one up there? It's...It's ours?"

"It's ours." He nods. "So if we don't want to go to the condo anytime we have days off, we can come here."

"Oh my...I love that idea. I can't believe we have a house now."

"Biggest gift you can ever get today."

"I would hope you didn't spend anymore money on me. What you dud was more than enough."

"I know. The house was it for the day. Don't worry."

"Alright." I look at him unsure. "What do you say we head home then? I have a little something for you when we get there."

"A gift for me hmm?" He grins.

"Mhm. Just for you."

"Well let's go then." He nods.

I take my time pushing out my chair and standing. I stretch a bit, trying to take as much time as I could just to torture him. He blows the candles out as he stands, before walking over and taking my hand in his, lacing his fingers with mine before we make our way back up to the house. As we head there, the people who helped set everything up came out to take care of everything left over. We head up the stairs then across the deck, walking in. He closes the door and locks it before following me into the bedroom. I grab the bag that had the outfit I packed for him then head to the bathroom.

"I'll be right out. You just get ready for bed."

"Alright." He nods, watching as I shut the door behind me.

I walk in and set the bag on the counter. I then take off my dress, hanging that up on the back of the door. I take the two piece light pink babydoll out of the bag and put that on. It was Valentine's themed with blue hearts all over it. There was a cutout on the back of the top and bottoms as well. I leave my heels on then crack open the door to see if he's ready. I see him sitting on the bed in his boxers and open the door the rest of the way.

"Oh Mike." I sing, leaning in the doorway.

He of course looks in the direction of the bathroom to see me there and his jaw almost drops. He goes to say something, but no words come out of his mouth. I've left him speechless in that moment.

"Speechless. Very good." I grin, slowly starting to walk into the room.

"...where...did you...get...that...?" He manages to get out.

"A store. One I like back in New York. Had it sent out." I say as I turn so he gets a view of the back.

"For a special occasion? Like tonight?"

"You're right. That's the reason I got it."

"I'm good." He smirks.

"You are." I smirk, kicking off my heels then straddling his lap, hands on his shoulders.

"I love it."

"I can tell...touchy." I giggle.

"I'm always touchy."

"I know that, but you're extra touchy tonight."

"You've caused that."

"Oops?"

"Suure."

"That was not my intent." I act innocent, wiggling on his lap a bit.

His hands stop on my hips and hold me still.

"Just like that wasn't?"

"That? No. That was intentional."

"Really asking for it aren't you?"

"Depends on how want you want to unwrap your gift."

"Oh I think you know."

"Then..." I lean forward, biting his bottom lip. "...maybe I am." I whisper.

"Well then..." He trails off before he presses his lips to mine in a hard kiss.

I was caught off guard a bit, but soon began to kiss him back just as hard. My hands moved from his shoulders, one going to his hair, the other to the back of his neck. I let it rest there for a bit before lightly moving my fingers over his skin. His hands had moved from my hips and started to go back to wandering, especially over the skin that was exposed from the cutouts on my back. When his fingers move along my spine, it sends a chill through it. He feels that and smirks against my lips before doing it again. I shiver again, tugging on his hair more now. I kiss him more roughly, pulling him as close to me as he can get. That's when I feel him start to tug on the fabric of the babydoll, but I just shake my head, telling him that it's not coming off quite yet. He groans in protest against my lips, but settles for that for right now. I decide to have a bit of fun so I move my hand from the back of his neck to his shoulder then down his chest slowly until I reach his abs. Once there, I lightly drag my fingers over the skin wanting a reaction out of him. He tenses like always, but he also pulls away from my lips and buries his face in my neck, where I feel him place small kisses on my skin here and there, but not enough to distract me from what I was doing to him. His hands move from where they were, to resting on my hips and his grip tightens a bit than before. I smirk, moving my fingers across his skin before slowly moving them down to the waist of his boxers. I slip my fingers in the band of his boxers, brushing over one of his indents.

"Teasing..." He mumbles into my neck.

"Having my fun."

"...getting you back..."

"Bring it on." I challenge, pressing his indent.

He smirks against my neck and without warning, he nips at my skin. It's not a sensitive spot, but he works at the spot anyway, wanting to leave a mark in a different area. That causes me to lose all focus on what I was doing. Since I had no warning, all the noises that came from me were loud and clear to him. IMy hand moves to his side, resting there for now while the other grips his hair. When he feels a mark is going to forming soon, he presses one kiss to it, before pulling back. All he does is look up at me and smirk.

"Want me to bring it on more?"

"...bring it..."

"Well then...you're just gonna be marked up."

I bite my lip, thinking about it then I move my hand back down and press his indent once more, really getting to him that time. In retaliation, he ends up shifting so we end up moving and within a blink of an eye, I'm laying back on the bed with him hovering over me before his lips are back on my neck, searching for a sensitive spot to go after this time. My legs stay wrapped around his waist, both arms around his neck. I try my best to not give in, but since he knows where the spot is, he finds it and attaches his lips to it. My legs get tighter around him while I pull him as close to me as I can to muffle any noises that come from me. Even though I try to muffle the noises, he can still hear them and it's good enough for him. While he's working on that spot, that's when he tries again and starts to play with the fabric of the babydoll in hopes I'll let him remove it this time. I nod my head, letting him know that he can. He starts to pull it up, letting his touches linger, driving me even more crazy. Once he gets that off, he tosses it to the side then kisses all the new skin he can. He takes his him with that, making sure to get every inch that he can. Once he's done, he makes his way back to my lips. When he reaches my lips, I kiss him hard and eagerly. Since he was the only one with any article of clothing on, and since I let him take mine off, there was no reason why he shouldn't let me take his off. So my hands once again move back down to his waistline and I run my fingers along his skin before tugging just a bit, letting him know that I want them off. He shifts so I'm able to get them down as far as I can, him kicking them off the rest of the way. Once those are off and to the side somewhere, he reaches for the blanket to pull over us. When that's ready, we start to get busy on our long Valentine's night.
