It was the middle of the morning and Meghan was still curled up against Subaru, feeling his fingers stroke delicately up and down the column of her spine. She was bone-achingly tired after all of their...activities... from last night, and she wasn't sure she'd be able to move for quite some time. Subaru had been relentless in their love-making the night before, taking her at least four more times after she'd called in sick to work. She had no idea that it was even possible, to do it as many times as they did, and still crave for more. But, as she stroked his chest with her free hand, it didn't really surprise her all that much. Their desire for one another had not waned after they married, but had only intensified. Whereas most couples sex-life died down with time, theirs only grew more passionate. It was almost as if they were making up for all the lost time they had between them, all the years before they found one another.

She sighed contently, happy to finally have her alone time with her husband. She was also glad to just have an additional day away from the office, from Ichigo, but she didn't say so. It still amazed her just how jealous Subaru seemed to be towards Ichigo as he danced with her. But she was almost glad for it now, it got her away from him, and propelled her into the arms of her husband.

"Are you hungry?" Subaru asked with a sleep-tinted voice.

She shrugged against him. "Kind of. But I'm not entirely sure I can move yet."

He sat up and stretched, leaning forward to press a kiss to her already kiss-swollen lips. "Sore?"

"A little."

Subaru chuckled as if her answer satisfied him. "A good kind of sore I hope?"

She sat up next to him, holding the bed sheets against her exposed chest. "Very good kind."

"Well, you stay here for a few more minutes and I'll go out and start making us something to eat. Alright?" He asked, leaning forward to kiss her forehead. He rolled over in the bed and stood up next to it, stretching his arms above his head, all still completely nude. Meghan sat back against the bed, enjoying the view. He grabbed his boxers and jeans and yanked them on, giving her a wry smile at her expression. He then slowly ambled out of their bedroom towards the kitchen, and Meghan sighed, trying to muster the strength to get up.

She looked down at her body, taking in some of the damage of last night. Subaru had left several little love bites on her body, from her shoulders to her neck, down to her thighs. A blush rose in her cheeks as she thought back to last night, the passionate night they'd shared. She noticed the bruises forming on her wrist, where Ichigo had grabbed her, and shuddered. She hoped Subaru wouldn't notice them, or would think they had come about from their night together at least. With a reluctant groan, she rolled over in bed and reached for her robe. The phone rang in the other room as she slid the thin material onto her skin, and she walked down the hall towards the kitchen.

Subaru came around the corner towards her and grimaced. "Hey listen honey, that was the office and I need to go in for a few minutes."

Meghan jutted out her lower lip. "But I thought you called in sick too?"

"I did, but this is important and it'll only take a few minutes. I promise that as soon as I'm done, I'll come straight home. I'll even take an extra day off if you want me too." He replied with an apologetic smile.

"You promise?"

"I promise." He answered, grabbing one of his shirts from the laundry bin next to her. He gathered her up in his arms and kissed her again, as if to seal the deal, and his lips lingered for several moments. Savoring her taste, her lips.

"I'll be right back. Lunch is on the stove and should be done by the time I get back." He said softly, pressing another quick kiss to her lips before releasing her and heading out the front door. With a pointed look at the door, Meghan huffed. As long as he came back soon, she wouldn't fuss at him. And he did say he would take the next day off tomorrow as well to make it up to her. It enthralled her even more at the prospect of calling out sick tomorrow as well, and she instantly perked up.

She decided to busy herself around the apartment until he returned, and went into the kitchen to investigate what it was Subaru was making for them. A delightful smell filled the air and Meghan's mouth watered. How lucky was she to have be with Subaru, whose cooking was better than anyone else's she'd ever met? She peered inside the oven to see some delectable treat baking. Although she couldn't tell what exactly it was just based off of appearance, it smelled sweet and she licked her lips in eager anticipation.

Grabbing the television remote, she turned the news on and meandered into the kitchen in search of coffee, listening to the morning report as she poured herself a cup. Seeing that Subaru had already put a pot of coffee on for her. He really was a thoughtful man, and even in his sudden need to go back to the office, he'd still put the coffee on for her. She'd make sure to give him a kiss for that when he returned... and more... She giggled to herself as she took her warm cup of coffee and sat on the couch, watching the news. He'd probably put the pot on for her as well because he knew just how utterly useless she was in the mornings without it. Either way, the thought made her happy.

Sipping at her coffee, she watched the morning news until it went off, and her coffee cup emptied. Going over and placing the cup in the sink, she stretched her arms above her head, her body groaning in mild protest to her actions. She turned on her heel and made her way towards the bathroom to take a shower. It would be perfect for her aching body, and she hopped in. Letting the warm water pour over her body in a cascade of blissful heat. A song popped into her head and she blatantly sung the words out, even though she knew she was probably extremely off key, and suddenly glad to be alone.

Once she was satisfied that her body was clean enough, she turned the water faucet off and dried off, walking into the bedroom to throw on some lounging around clothing. A pair of yoga pants and tank top seemed to be the perfect staying home all day combo, and she pulled them on, walking towards the laundry room while wringing her wet hair out with her towel. Subaru had done the last load of laundry, so she decided she'd return the favor and do this load. Tossing her newly wet towel, along with the other dirty clothes from the hamper, into the washing machine, she set the timer and walked away. Her still damp hair curled around her shoulders as she heard the water swishing about inside the machine, cleaning the clothes efficiently.

She had decided to tidy up the living room and was gathering some cleaning supplies when she heard a knock from the front door. Meghan looked at the door confusedly. She wasn't expecting anybody. And she wasn't even sure that she'd told anybody, other than a voice machine, that she had called in sick to work. Walking over to the door tentatively, she went to peer through the peephole on the door, but was unable to see the person on the other side. She shrugged her shoulders and went to unlock the door. It was probably just the mail person with a package again. Their mailman had always been nice enough to bring their packages to the front door instead of leaving it in the mailbox across the street. He'd said he didn't like leaving anything that could be of value out in the open, so he'd always just come and knocked on the door whenever he had anything for them. But when she opened the door, she instantly regretted her action, and felt the color drain from her face.

"Told ya I'd get ya alone now, didn't I?" Ichigo sneered as he leaned against the door frame, looking down at her menacingly.
