3 years later…

Shayera giggled, lifting up the covers slightly, peeking underneath. "Diana, what are you doing?"

"Looking for my sock."

"And what part of looking includes tickling my feet?"

"When I tickle them, you lift them, thus allowing me to look for my sock."

"I see…" Shayera smiled as Diana continued to root around her feet searching for the lost article of clothing.

"I don't understand how this happens almost every night, " Diana started, "I go to bed with two on, and in the morning, one is always missing."

"And every time I wash our sheets, I find 3 or 4 strays…" The thought was cut off as Shayera squealed. "Did you just lick the back of my knee?"

"Is there someone else under here?"

"Diana, get up here. You never find them anyways."

"Can't Shayera, this pair is one of my favorites." Diana licked the back of the other knee, and laughed as Shayera's leg jerked up. "Nope, not under there either. Maybe if I look a little higher…" Diana snaked her way up to Shayera's chest. She brought herself eye level with Shayera's bare breasts. "Hmmm…maybe I was looking in the wrong places."

Shayera could see the lust in Diana's eyes, en emotion that had nothing to do with the object her Amazon was searching for. She barely whispered her reply, "Please keep looking. I would hate for you not to be thorough."

Diana grinned and lowered her head to one of Shayera's breasts. She breathed lightly over the nipple and watched it harden instantly. She traced her finger over it, and Shayera threw her head back into her pillow. In the next instant, Shayera felt Diana's tongue brush lightly on her chest. She arched her back slightly.

"That is not far enough off of the bed…" Diana chuckled.

Shayera moaned, "Then do a better job of looking."

Diana lowered her head, this time taking one of the nipples into her mouth. She sucked lightly, circling it with her tongue. Shayera responded by arching her back even higher. One of Diana's hands slipped underneath the redhead and quickly felt around on the sheets that had been exposed.

"Find it?" Shayera huskily whispered.

"No."

"Check the other side."

Diana needed no other encouragement and she turned her attention to the other breast. Once again Shayera moaned and arched her back, but no sock was found.

"Well, " Diana shrugged, "guess I have to keep looking then." She sat up and drew Shayera into her arms. She began kissing her collarbone and trailed her head to the left nipping at the neckline and the redhead's right shoulder. In between kisses, she glanced over her lover's back. Then she dipped back to the other side, peering over the other shoulder in between caresses.

"Diana, please…this is torture. Find the damn thing already."

"Well, there is only one more place to look." Diana lightly pushed Shayera back onto the bed and began trailing kisses down her neck, to the valley between her breasts, and down to her stomach. Shayera responded by placing her hands in the Amazon's hair.

"Shayera, love, I don't think it's in my hair."

Shayera groaned, "Shut up Diana."

Diana laughed and her lips tickled the sensitive skin on Shayera's stomach. She slowly lowered herself further and settled in between her lover's legs. She kissed her inner thighs, and watched as Shayera's hips lifted slightly off the bed. Diana looked up at Shayera's face. The redhead's breathing had accelerated, and her grip in Diana's hair had tightened.

Diana grinned in triumph and lowered head again. This time she didn't bother nipping anything other than Shayera's center. She was rewarded with a hard buck off the sheets, and she quickly moved her hands underneath the other woman's ass. She continued to keep the heat lifted to her face, as she lavished attention where Shayera was craving it most. All thoughts of socks were forgotten as Diana skillfully flicked her tongue, sucked gently, and Shayera responded with every stroke. Within minutes, Diana heard her name uttered and felt Shayera's whole body shake. She also felt Shayera's knees clench slightly around her head and fall lifelessly back to the bed. The Amazon gave gentle kisses on Shayera's legs, and worked her way back up the other woman's body, finally settling in the crook of her neck.

In between trying to bring her breathing back to normal, Shayera uttered, "Sorry, Diana."

"For what?"

"You didn't find it did you?"

Diana lifted her head and smiled at the redhead, slowly turning her lips into a mock pout. "No, I didn't. And I thought I looked pretty thoroughly."

Shayera leaned in and kissed Diana's lips slowly. After a moment she pulled back, and sighed, "I am sure you did sweetheart. But don't give up."

"Really?" Diana's eyebrow arched slightly.

Shayera rolled over on top of Diana, and settled on top of the dark haired woman. "We still have your side of the bed to look on." She lowered her head and the second search party set out on its' mission.

"Where have the two of you been?" Dinah huffed.

Shayera grinned mischievously. "Diana needed help looking for something. We tore the room up, but came up empty. We're going to look again later."

Dinah was confused. "What? What did she lose?"

"I can't remember! But I know it's important to find." Shayera laughed.

Diana rolled her eyes, as Dinah stared between the two of them completely confused. Dinah shrugged her shoulders, and turned to Helena. "Babe, how come you never help me look for anything I lose?"

Helena laughed, "Because you lost that years ago, and there would be NO finding it."

Dinah sneered slightly, "Asshole."

"That I can find."

Dinah eyes went wide and she blushed. Helena reached out and pinched Dinah's butt, a gesture that was met with a stiff swat from the blonde.

"I can't believe you just said that. In front of our friends too!"

"Please Dinah, those two are worse than we are. What is it you think they were tearing up their room doing?"

Diana interjected, "Shayera told you the truth. We were looking for something."

"Bullshit, you two are gross. Ever since you got married, it has been one giant love fest. I am surprised you even left your room. Dinah and I were beginning to wonder when we would ever to get hang out with you both again."

Shayera smiled and took Diana's hand into hers, lacing their fingers together. "Jealous?"

"Yep." Came the quick reply from Helena.

"OH REALLY?" Dinah squealed.

"No, no, no. You are more than a handful in that department…hell, every department."

Dinah smiled, "Flatterer."

"And we're gross?" Shayera teased.

"So what do you two want to do today?" Dinah asked.

"Shopping." Shayera replied.

"We looking for anything in particular?"

"Socks. Diana has an addiction and keeps losing one half of the pair."

"Where are they going?"

Diana laughed, "I have no IDEA!"

Shayera leaned over and kissed Diana's cheek. "Don't worry, we'll keep looking." She pulled back and winked.

"Being gross again…come on." Helena grabbed Diana's hand and dragged her away from Shayera and Dinah.

"Is Diana really losing her socks?" Dinah asked.

"Not losing them, but they are being stolen in the middle of the night."

"Why are you stealing her socks?"

"Because she looks EVERYWHERE for them."

Dinah laughed. "Where are you putting them?"

"The drawer in my nightstand."

"She hasn't looked there yet?"

"Nope. She doesn't actually search the room so much as she…"

Dinah threw her hands up. "Stop! I don't want to hear about your kinky love games with Diana."

Shayera laughed, "Don't tell her. It really is very cute, and you should try it with Helena."

"I can't."

"Why not?"

"Helena doesn't wear anything to bed." Dinah laughed at Shayera's shocked expression and grabbed her hand to catch up with the other women.
