Sorry for lack of updation but school started back GAH! And then I have exams coming up and my mom's getting surgery so it might be a while for another update. I'm trying to make this one longer to even out both my shortness earlier and lack of updating. Sorry on both accounts.

Sandy fumbled with the door handle. Work sucked more than usual today. But maybe the boys were gone and he and Kirsten could be alone. Even if they were still here just seeing her always made him feel better. He walks in, puts his stuff down, and walks into the kitchen. Kirsten is sitting at the island w/ a bunch of papers in front of her. Sandy gets a bottled water out of the fridge, opens it and leans against the counter. He looks at Kirsten. She hasn't looked up from what she's doing.

He breaks the silence. "How's it going, honey?"

Kirsten finally looks up. "Busy" She says quickly and immediately looks back down. Sandy walks behind her and begins to massage her. Kirsten stops what she's doing and leans back in her chair. She tiredly looks ahead.

"I forgot how much energy this takes."

Sandy leans down to her ear and whispers. "Let me take your mind off of it." He begins to kiss her neck.

"Mmm… What exactly did you have in mind?" Kirsten asks as she closes her eyes.

"Oh. You'll see." Sandy whispers as he puts his lips to hers. Kirsten winds her hands up around to cup his face. He turns her in her chair to face him. They lose themselves in each other. Their kisses are slow and passionate. As Sandy lifts her off of her chair, she wraps her arms around Sandy's neck and winds her legs around his waist. Kirsten broke away and started giving him short, lingering kisses. He took her into the living room and placed her on the couch. They resumed their kisses while Sandy pinned her lightly to the couch. His hands wandering over her. Her hands running through his hair and over his back then coming to hold his face. Luckily, they hadn't started at their closes yet because just then the boys walked in the door. The couple broke apart quickly and Sandy popped up and ran his hand through his hair. Kirsten remained laying down, deciding that it would be less suspicious if she stayed where she was. The boys had been too wrapped up in their conversation to pay attention to what was happening on the couch.

"Hey guys!" Sandy said. Ryan and Seth finally looked toward the couch.

"How was your day?" Kirsten added.

"Pretty good." Ryan answered.

"What have you two been up to?" Seth asked, absentminded.

"Oh nothing." They both answered in unison. They looked toward each other. And then back toward the boys.

"Yeah. Okay." Seth said as he eyed them suspiciously. "You guys get weirder everyday."

"Hey!" They both said. Ryan laughed.

"What's for dinner?" Seth asked, walking into the kitchen. "I'm starved."

"Why don't you and Ryan go get something? Take the girls w/ you?" Sandy asked as he waived some money their way.

"Sure, Dad. As long as it's your money." Seth said. "Do you want me to bring anything back for you guys?" He asked as they were about to walk out the door.

"No thanks guys." Sandy answered. Kirsten knew what Sandy was doing but she was still hungry. She pinched Sandy.

"Aaaa---ctually. Could you bring us back something and maybe put it in the fridge?" Sandy yelped.

"Sure." Seth answered. "Weirder and weirder." He mumbled to Ryan as they left.

Once they had shut the door, Sandy shot Kirsten a look. She tried to look innocent. She darted her eyes around. They eventually landed back on Sandy.

"What!" She asked.

"You're going to pay for that!" Sandy said and started tickling her.

"Oh no, Sandy!" She squealed in laughter. She tried to fight him but it was no use. He kept tickling her, despite her yelling her disapproval. He stopped and rested his hands on her waist. She finished giggling and looked into his smiling eyes. He leaned down and kissed her softly.

"I'll race you upstairs!" She said while squinting her eyes at him.

"Oh you're on!" Sandy said. He bent down and rubbed her nose with his. She then got up and sprinted to the stairs. He was right behind her and grabbed her waist and gently pulled her down level to him.

"Sandy!" She hit his arm and kept going. They got to the "intermission" between the flights of stairs. She grabbed him and pinned him against the wall and shoved her mouth to his. She then laughed and ran up the stairs. They were almost there. Kirsten was about to grab the doorknob when Sandy then grabbed her picked her up completely and turned around and put her down so she was facing the wrong direction. He left her and ran into the bedroom. She walked in after him.

"I won!" Sandy exclaimed.

"Because you cheated." Kirsten pouted. She stuck out her bottom lip and gave him a glare of false anger.

"You did too." Sandy pointed out as he inched toward her.

"Yeah but we both enjoyed my kind of cheating." Kirsten teased.

"No argument there, baby." Sandy said as he put his hands on her hips. "Let me make it up to you."

"What do you have in mind?" Kirsten asked while smiling widely.

"Let's just say. By the end of the night, we'll both be winners." Sandy whispered. Kirsten smiled. Sandy leaned down and they began to kiss. He turned her around and led her toward their bed, never losing her mouth.

"I love you." He said as she fell onto the bed. Right after he said it, his mouth quickly resumed what it had started. Once Kirsten could get a chance, she returned the sentiment. Their lips never left each others except for those two moments.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Kirsten is lying at Sandy's side, her head on Sandy's bare chest. Sandy has his arm around her. He looks down at her and begins to play with her hair. He tucks it behind her ear and begins to stroke her shoulder down to her arm. Kirsten has her hand in Sandy's. Their fingers are wound within each other. Sandy pulls his hand and Kirsten's to his lips and kisses her hand. Then he holds it to his heart. They both close their eyes and sigh.

Kirsten looks ahead in sort of a daze. "I wish we could stay like this forever."

Sandy's eyes light up. "Oh! Let's!"

"I wish." Kirsten laughs.

"And why can't we?" Sandy asks, thinking of all the perks of being in a bed with his naked wife for the rest of his life.

"Work? The boys?"

"We'll retire and the boys are old enough to take care of themselves."

Kirsten picks her head up and looks at Sandy. "And what happens when Seth comes looking for us and finds us like this?"

"Good point." Sandy says defeated.

"Can't you see him coming in here and having a stroke at the sight of us like this?" She laughs.

Sandy laughs. "He would freak. Wouldn't he?"

"Most likely, But let's stop thinking about Seth and concentrate on something else." Kirsten said as she lifted her head to Sandy's and began to kiss him.
