Day 12: "My best toys run on batteries."

Zed looks up from his gift wrapping for a moment. "Did you get toys for Eliza's kids too?"

Addison huffs. "RC car, fairy Barbie, Littlest Pet Shop, um…fucking legos."

"Language," Zed says offhandedly. He spares a glance to the couch, where their almost two-year-old was napping.

Addison puts down her shopping bags by Zed, then goes over to their toddler. "Why is she on the couch?"

Zed shrugs. "Naptime. I ordered Chinese."

"Yum."

Addison moves to pick up their daughter, Holly, but Zed stops her. "Don't wake her up yet! I'm not done wrapping her present."

Addison spares him a glance. "How much longer until dinner?"

"Uh…ten minutes." Zed puts the scissors to the side. "She's already had a bath."

He starts folding the wrapping paper to make it look nice. Addison slowly sits down next to him, watching him quietly. She's resigned from waking Holly, for now, but doesn't plan on interrupting his wrapping process.

"How was your day?" Addison asks.

"Good. Watched a lot of Nick Jr. Nothing interesting. Yours?"

"Eh. Worked. Had lunch with Bree. Went shopping with Bree." She leans on his shoulder. "Can we have sex tonight?"

"Absolutely."

Addison giggles at his response. "Bree took me to a sex shop today. I almost texted you pics, but I didn't wanna chance Holly seeing them."

Zed snorts. He grabs a bow from the bag to his right, careful not to disturb Addison as he finishes wrapping the present. "She's barely two, she won't remember."

Addison only hums in response. It's silent for a few minutes. Zed puts the gift to the side—an easel set they'd found at Walmart a few weeks back—and drags the next one over—some stuffed doll Zoey recommended they get. He's got a few more Holly gifts to wrap before he can even get to the new stuff Addison just brought back.

Out of nowhere, Addison laughs quietly. Zed doesn't need to even ask because the next second she says, "My best toys run on batteries," and laughs some more.

"You make no sense."

"When we found the sex store, I told Bree we had to go get more toys for Sophia and Chris, and then she said 'My best toys run on batteries,' and dragged me inside. It was funny."

"You guys are so weird."

"Mean words from someone who's wife bought a vibrator today."

Zed's eyebrows jump. "You bought a vibrator?"

"Yep! And…" She stroked his arm affectionately, stealing his attention from the wrapping. He cranes his head to look at her, catching her sly smile. "And I think I need to test it out. Tonight. Figure out how the little contraption works, if you catch my drift."

She winks (as best as she can because she can't wink).

Heat spreads through his face…and through his dick.

"Lemme go hide it so Holly can't find it. You've got presents to wrap."

She stands, dropping a kiss to the top of his head before scurrying off with one of her shopping bags.

Zed sighs, knowing there's still the hour of dinner, then some playtime and clean up which could take anywhere from half an hour to two whole hours before Holly is asleep and out of their hair. Which is not ideal, not when he's already so distracted by all the possibilities…

They managed to get Holly to bed, to stay in actual bed and fall asleep, by eight. Record time, actually. They spend an hour cleaning up a little around the house. Dishes, leftovers, and whatever toys pose a possible tripping hazard.

Then, finally, after hours and hours of waiting, they head to bed.

Well, Addison gets ready for bed. Zed hasn't showered yet. He's spent the entire day at home with Holly, whereas Addison had work and a day out with Bree and showered when she got home. Zed can't leave Holly alone for too long, unless they wanted Hurricane Holly.

It's when he's in the shower that he hears Addison enter the bathroom. He's in the middle of shampooing his hair so he can't peek his head out to look at her.

"Where are the batteries?"

"Did you check your desk?"

"Yes."

"Did you check my desk?"

She sighs. "Yes, duh."

"Under the tv?"

"Not there."

"The stuck drawer in the kitchen?"

"Only you can open that and I highly doubt they're in there."

Zed huffs. Do they even have batteries? He knows they should, in case of a storm or a power outage. But he can't actually remember the last time they bought batteries.

Addison gasps, exclaims, "The nightstand!" and runs out.

She must have found them because she doesn't come back in the bathroom, leaving Zed to quickly finish and discover his fifteen day early Christmas surprise.

When he steps out of the shower, he discovers Addison had put out fresh pajama bottoms and boxers for him. No shirt, but he's not surprised. She had a habit of either convincing him to sleep shirtless or sneaking her hands under his shirt and staying like that all night. She really likes him shirtless, for some reason. Back in the day, he was probably in much better shape and working out more. Now he's like, soft and grown. (And she still loves him.)

He gets dressed and heads to the bedroom, keeping his eyes on his feet as he closes the door so as to not spoil the surprise.

When he looks up, Addison is sitting up against the headboard, legs spread, clad in her favorite baby blue lace lingerie. She looks like a goddamn supermodel; white hair falling ever so seductively over her shoulder, knees slightly bent like she's in an actual photoshoot, blue lace delicately covering her soft skin. He can even see her perky, glorious nipples, just a little darker than her skin.

Addison lets a sly smile spread across her face. She looks so hot, and sexy, and drop-dead gorgeous. His poor zombie heart can barely handle it.

"You look…wow," he breathes.

"Thank you, I like getting all dressed up for you." She wags a finger at him in a 'come here' motion, and Zed practically floats across the room, climbing up onto the bed and between her spread legs until their faces are inches apart.

"We don't do this enough," he murmurs. "Have extra special sex."

Addison giggles, then cups his jaw in her hands, pulling him in for a kiss. It's short but their lips linger together, a soft ember slowly growing between them.

"It wouldn't be extra special if we did it every night," she whispers.

"Being your husband is already special," he turns his head and kisses her wrist, "and getting to even bask in your beauty is extra special." He kisses her other wrist, then tilts his head forward to kiss her again.

Addison sighs against his lips. She moves her hands and wraps her arms around his neck, pulling him in closer. His arms circle her waist, lifting her to press their bodies flush to one another, hovering a few centimeters off the mattress. He slides them down, her pretty head laying on the plush pillow while Zed moves his lips down her jaw, down her neck, between her cleavage. His hands explore her sparsely covered mounds, fingers pricking her popped out nipples, pulling a moan from her lips.

He continued kissing his way down the rest of her torso. He presses a final kiss just below her belly button, then sits back, fingers lingering at the waistband of panties.

"Where's our new toy?"

Addison, in a slight daze, fumbles around on the spot beside her before producing the bright green toy that was probably as long as his hand. She sits up slightly to pass it to him, then lays back down as Zed briefly examines it. They haven't used toys (together at least) in a few years. Not that he has any doubt in his ability to use a vibrator, he's just rusty with it.

And, because he has to know, he asks, "Did you or Bree pick out this color?" Because, well, green is kind of his thing. The whole being-a-zombie-and-having-green-hair thing.

When he looks up at her, she's got one hand teasing her left nipple through her bra, the other creeping down her stomach and into her panties. He really can't get enough of her.

"Green's my favorite," she says.

"I wonder why," he says teasingly.

He puts the vibrator down and loops his fingers in the waistband of her panties, slowly pulling them down her legs. It's both erotic to watch and do, especially when he realizes how wet the crotch of the little blue lace is. She had probably been teasing herself while he was in the shower too. Just the thought makes him hard (harder than he already is, at least).

He tosses her panties to the side then gets situated between her legs, letting her spread them as much as she wants, which isn't usually a lot. He picks up the toy again, lifting his head to look at her.

"Cleaned?"

She nods. "Come on already," she whines playfully.

Zed chuckles. He scoots forward until his nose is brushing her pussy. Addison's fingers tangle in his hair and pull his lips eagerly closer. He doesn't make her wait, tongue flicking her clit and earning a euphoric moan.

He plays around with her clit, licking and teasing with his tongue before wrapping his lips around the swollen numb. Addison moans under his ministrations, fingers pulling at his hair. He trails his mouth lower, letting his tongue run between her wet lips before dipping in her cunt.

"Oh, Zed," she moans.

He sneaks an arm under her thigh, lifting her ass up and toward his mouth for better access. Grabbing the vibrator with his free hand, he flicks it on and brings it to her snatch, slowly moving it over her clit. She keens, hips lifting off the bed. He continues his slow, deliberate attack on her pussy, edging her closer with his mouth and the vibrator, until she breaks, cumming into his mouth.

Zed makes sure to move the vibrator slowly around her clit, prolonging her orgasm. Her nails dig into his scalp, a loud, unabashed moan filling the room.

But it wouldn't be extra special sex if he didn't completely melt her brain, and he knows just how to do that.

He removes the vibrator from her clit and pulls his mouth away, replacing it with the toy. He feels a little bad laughing, but she shrieks. Like, genuinely screams and explodes, her whole body shaking as she rides out the throes of her orgasm.

It's not until her moans have quieted down to soft pants that he removes the vibrator, now covered in her juices along with his fingers and his mouth, and switches it off. Slowly, Addison loosens her grip on him.

"God, baby," she mumbles. "I…You're so good. I love you."

Zed crawls out from between her legs, moving up the bed and plants a sweet kiss to her cheek. "I love you too," he whispers. "I'm gonna go check on Holly. Make sure we didn't wake her."

Addison giggles weakly.

Zed hops out of bed and jogs to Holly's room, peaking in to make sure she's still sound asleep. He sneaks in and shuts off her nightlight for the night, then goes back to his and Addison's room.

She's sitting up on the bed now, scratching her hair tiredly. She smiled softly at him. "Want me to take care of you?" she asks.

Zed shakes his head. She's clearly tired, and so is he. "I'll be fine, let's just cuddle and sleep."

"Are you sure?"

"Oh yeah, I love taking care of my lady." He detours at their dresser and grabs a shirt, then heads back to the bed, sitting behind his wife.

He unhooks her bra, sliding it off her arms and tossing it onto the other side of the bed. He plants a kiss to her cheek again, then pulls his shirt over her. Finally, they lay back against the bed, huddling under the covers and slowly drifting off to sleep.

a/n: Okay, let's talk about the writing process! So right now, day 13 and 14 are started. 'Day 13' is the continuation of Day 1 and Day 7, so it's gonna take a while. Usually, whichever of the days I finish will get posted first. So if I finish what's currently labeled as Day 14 before Day 13, I'll post that next.

It's much easier to get out the flirty chapters and blowjob chapters faster, but who wants a shit ton of flirty chapters? So be a bit patient with me, I'm tryna get the huge thing that is day 13 done!

Hope you enjoy!
