"Ever play Melting Point?" he asked softly, resting his hands on the small
of her back.
"Nope, I don't believe I have." She replied grinning, wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Let's get this place straightened up and I'll teach you how since you beat me at Twister." He said smiling, knowing he had the upper hand in this game.
She agreed and bent down and folded up the mat and put the spinner back in the box. Gathering the pile of clothes on the couch she headed back towards Joey's room to put the game up and then returned to their room to wait on him so she could learn more about this game. She stretched out across the bed on her side facing the door waiting on him to return. Minutes later he came back carrying a couple ice cubes in a small bowl and said, "This game is played two ways. The easy way is restrained, the harder way is with out being restrained."
"And which one are we trying?" she asked.
"The harder one." He replied smiling.
"So, how do we play?" Kim asked curiously.
"What you do is lie down and try and not touch the person with the ice until it's melted away." He replied.
Kim had a feeling he'd picked this particular game because of her inability to tolerate cold temperatures.
"Sound's easy enough," she replied, knowing it was going to take everything she had not to push him away with the ice.
"Lay down and I'll show you how it's done." He said, passing her a blindfold so she couldn't see what he would be doing.
After fixing the blindfold, she lay down grasping handfuls of the blanket she was laying on with a death grip. He had to laugh and asked, "You ready?"
"As ready as I'll ever be," she replied, dreading the feeling of having cold ice put on her.
He placed the cube on her stomach and heard her gasp. She fought not to move as he moved the ice cube around, figures he'd get the large cubes instead of the small ones the automatic icemaker made. He could tell she was fighting the urge to move and laughed silently to himself. He moved the ice up to her neck, it was about halfway melted and was surprised she'd lasted this long but wondered if she could last till it was gone. She thought of everything she could to try and keep her mind off the cold ice, but she was slowly starting to loose the battle. He ran the cube down one of her legs and heard her squeal when he ran it over her feet. That was the breaking point for her and she took her left foot and pushed his hand away and said laughing, "I can't take it anymore!"
"You lasted longer than I thought you would." He replied grinning, taking the blindfold off her eyes.
"Let's see how long you can last." Kim said wickedly.
Bobby put the blindfold on and lay down while she went and got some ice. She returned a couple minutes later and said, "You ready?"
"Bring it on," he replied figuring this would be a piece of cake.
She started off by tracing the ice cube along his shoulders and down his chest, feeling him shudder briefly. A playful grin spread across her face as she moved the cube down his torso towards his legs. He was beginning to wonder if he'd mistaken about this game being so easy. She ran the cube along the underside of his knee and down the back of his calf muscle, applying gentle pressure as she moved the cube along. He felt her tracing the ice cube along the sole of his foot, and began to press harder as she moved it across the arch of his foot. He was almost at the brink of pushing her away, unable to withstand the ice. When she began tracing the ever- shrinking ice cube around the perimeter of his navel he couldn't stand it any longer and took his left hand and grabbed her hand.
"Lost at your own game eh?" she asked.
"This is the first time anyone's ever gotten me at this game." He replied, slipping the blindfold off his head.
"I must be special then," she said giggling, stretching out along side him.
He laughed and replied, "Of course you are.", rolling her over onto her back and gently began to press fiery kisses down her neck and collarbone.
She raked her fingers through his hair as he continued pressing soft kisses onto her skin. He playfully nipped on her lower lip and rolled over onto his back. An alluring look crossed Kim's face as she gently began to lightly lick and kiss spots on his inner wrists and elbows before moving to do the same to his neck and chest and sides of his abdomen, adding an occasional nip here and there. After the barrage of sensations had subsided, he rolled her back over and she began to press and rub her hands into the back of his neck, eventually running her hands over his chest and shoulders in a tempting manner. Her soft whimpers eventually became broken gasps, as they seemed to dangle on the edge of exhilaration when she lightly licked his lips then kissed him heatedly, pushing him into sensory overload. As the night went on they made love countless times, not worrying about being disturbed by one of the kids. The next day they lay in bed and relaxed in each other's company since they didn't have to be anywhere.
"Thank you for an amazing weekend," Kim said softly, as she lay on her stomach and traced her fingers across his chest as he lay next to her.
He smiled and replied, "I take it you enjoyed the surprise then?"
"Very much. It's nice to relax and not have to worry about anything for once." She said with a sigh, lightly caressing the sensitive webbing between his thumb and forefinger with her fingers.
"I wonder how Jimmy handled having a five month old to take care of?" Bobby asked curiously.
"I'm sure he survived, because if not he would have called by now for us to come get her if things were too out of hand. Plus its not like he hasn't taken care of a kid before, it's just been a while." Kim replied laughing.
"Good point." Bobby said in response; "Later on you think we should call over and make sure everything's going ok?"
"We can just to make sure there isn't anything he needs for her." Kim replied, looking out the window at the snow falling.
"She should be ready to start teething soon right?" Bobby asked.
"Yep. God if she starts that at his place he will go crazy. Joey was an awful teether and just about drove Jimmy to the brink of madness." Kim responded, remembering what it was like when Joey had gone through that stage.
"You think she'll be as bad as he was?" he asked curiously.
"I doubt it. But I learned a few tricks with Joey so it shouldn't be too bad. Then again it depends on how bad a teether you were when you were her age." Kim replied grinning.
"Hey now!" Bobby said laughing, pinching her waist at the comment.
"It's the truth, Jimmy was awful, which probably explains why Joey was the same way." She replied.
"I remember seeing both of you looking like zombies at the station because of it too." Bobby said, recalling the memory.
"Man I'm dreading going back to work tomorrow after the surprise you bestowed upon me this weekend." She replied with a sigh.
Bobby smiled and said, "Want to go back to sleep for a while?"
"Sure," she replied pulling the blankets up around them; "It must be cold outside because I'm freezing."
He laughed and slipped his arms around her while she leaned her head back against his chest as they got ready to head back to sleep with the blankets up around their necks. They awoke again around 1:30 in the afternoon and Kim looked out the window to their room and watched as the snow fell past the window. She sighed and tightened the portion of the blanket closest to her around her and felt Bobby's head resting on her shoulder with one hand resting on her stomach. She placed her hand on top of his and watched as the flurries floated past the window. She lay contently in his warm embrace and lay watching the snow fall, wondering if the roads were covered or not. She stared into space daydreaming until she felt Bobby's hand caress her abdomen. His voice pulled her from her thoughts and she heard him ask, "Did you know it's snowing?"
"Yeah, I noticed it when I woke up." She replied.
"Later want to go for a walk through it?" he suggested.
"That would be wonderful," she said in return, feeling him place gentle kisses on her shoulder and neck.
The two lay and watched the snow fall for about ten minutes before they got up and got ready. Before they left, they called to check on the kids to make sure everything was going ok with Keira. Alex heard the phone ringing and was in the process of warming a bottle to take to Jimmy.
"Hello?" she said into the phone as she waited for the bottle to warm.
"Hey Alex, how are things going?" Kim asked.
"Pretty good. In the process of warming a bottle to take to Jimmy." She replied.
"She hasn't given you all any trouble has she?" Kim asked curiously.
"Nope, she's been a little angel the whole time." Alex responded testing the temperature of the bottle.
"Good. I was worried because she should start teething soon and if she started that while with you all I know Jimmy would go ballistic." Kim said, relieved to hear they hadn't had any problems so far.
Alex laughed and talked to Kim as she carried the bottle in to where Jimmy and Keira were.
"Who is it?" Jimmy asked Alex softly.
Alex mouthed the word Kim and heard him say, "Lemme talk to her for a bit."
"Hold on and I'll let you talk to Jimmy," Alex said as she sat the phone down on the bed and picked up Keira from him. He picked up the phone and began talking.
"How are things going with Keira?" Kim asked.
"Pretty smooth. She was a little fussy last night but settled down. A far cry different than what we went through with Joey." He replied.
Kim had to laugh at his comment and said, "I'll warn you now, she will be teething soon so if she'd start call us and we'll come get her."
Jimmy groaned when he heard the word teething and immediately thought back to when Joey had been her age. The last thing he wanted to do was go through that again. Joey had been killer when he went through that stage and just about cost him his sanity in the process.
"Trust me, if she starts we'll call. How I kept my sanity with Joey I'll never know." He replied.
"Gotta run. I'll see you all later." Kim said noticing Bobby was ready to go.
"Ok, enjoy the rest of your weekend and I'll see you Monday." Jimmy replied, seeing Alex finishing up giving Keira the bottle.
After she'd hung up with Jimmy, Kim grabbed her lined leather gloves and scarf and headed for the living room.
"She give them any trouble?" Bobby asked as they got their coats off the rack.
"She was a little fussy last night but they got her calmed down and she's given them no trouble." Kim replied, zipping up her jacket.
The two of them went out for lunch and then proceeded to take a walk through Central Park. The snow fell quietly around them as they walked. The stopped on a stone bridge in the park and admired the snow covered scenery around them. Snow clung to the branches of the trees about an inch in depth resting on the top portion of them.
"Isn't it gorgeous out here during the winter?" Kim asked as the wind blew a bit, causing her cheeks to turn slightly red.
"It is now that you mention it," he replied smiling, slipping an arm around her waist.
She rested a gloved hand on the side of his neck and the other on his shoulder blade, as he leaned in and gently kissed her. His tongue traced the outline of her lower lip causing her to shudder as he began to knead his free hand along the curve of her waist. When they pulled back, they turned and headed back towards the car after a relaxing winter stroll through the park.
"When we get home I'll fix some hot chocolate so we can warm up." Bobby said as they drove towards their complex.
"Perfect," Kim replied as she took the gloves off and put them in the pocket of her coat; "Why don't you pick a movie for us to watch since I picked one last night."
"I'll do that after I fix the hot chocolate," he replied as they headed home.
As they drove for some reason Kim had a craving for a Kahlua Hummer, she hadn't had one of those in forever and decided to fix one that evening for the both of them.
"Could you stop at the store a few blocks away, I'm gonna fix a nice drink for us later tonight and I've gotta pick the stuff up for it." She asked.
"Sure, what kind of drink you going to fix tonight?" he replied curiously.
"You'll find out tonight when you try it," She responded as he pulled up in front of the store.
She went in and picked up a case of Kahlua and Bailey's and Ice and a carton of vanilla ice cream and paid for the three items and headed back out to the car. When she returned he saw what she was carrying and was intrigued with the combination of drinks.
"Where'd you learn about that combo?" he asked.
"I had one of these a long time ago and for some reason just had a craving for one so I thought I'd fix one. After Jimmy and I separated I used to drink them all the time." She replied.
"Nope, I don't believe I have." She replied grinning, wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Let's get this place straightened up and I'll teach you how since you beat me at Twister." He said smiling, knowing he had the upper hand in this game.
She agreed and bent down and folded up the mat and put the spinner back in the box. Gathering the pile of clothes on the couch she headed back towards Joey's room to put the game up and then returned to their room to wait on him so she could learn more about this game.
