He wrapped his arms around her, pressing a firm kiss to her neck. She swallowed, reaching up to lay a hand over his, her eyes closing. "You're a pain in my ass, Zane." He chuckled softly against her neck, tasting the beat of her pulse against his lips. He breathed her in, before,

"But that's why you love me. I never make life boring." She rolled her eyes.

"No, but you-" But before she could finish, he turned her around and captured her lips in a deep kiss. His arms went tight around her waist, one hand making its way up the soft curve of her spine. She reached up, tangling her fingers in the hair at the nape of his neck. He nipped at her lower lip, and she let him enter, allowing him to explore her mouth. His body instantly responded to hers- to the feel of her soft curves and silky skin against his. The kiss deepened, becoming more passionate and frantic- and they only pulled away when they felt a spark ignite between them, causing them to jump apart. She reached up, brushing her fingers along her swollen lips. "That hurt-"

He chuckled, pressing a kiss to her forehead. "Sometimes all you need is a spark, Jojo." She shook her head, turning back-

She stood in a pair of royal purple lingerie, reaching up and pulling her hair free of its ponytail. "You wanted me to model them for you." His blue eyes roamed over her body, drinking in her form and the curves of her body. "Well, do you like? Or should I make popcorn?" She teased; he was on his feet and gathering her in his arms before she could say another word, his hands roaming over skin that- he discovered- was soft as silk and tasted as sweet as its caramel tone. She threw her head back, strands of raven hair cascading down her back in a waterfall of the softest silk, which he instantly tangled his fingers in.

Zane felt his breath catch. That couldn't possibly be-

"Well, do you like what you see?" She asked, her voice the softest of purrs as she raised her head and met his gaze. He responded with a kiss that curled her toes, and forced the lava of desire to erupt in her stomach. She walked him back to the bed, shoving him onto it and balancing over him. "Or do I need to go elsewhere?" She pulled away, turning to go, her long dark hair swirling around her like a skirt, and before she could get to the end of the bed, he'd sat up and grabbed her waist, yanking her back onto the bed. They rolled over, her small, lithe body hitting the bed as he balanced over her. She struggled to catch her breath, the soft mounds of her breasts rising and falling rapidly beneath the royal purple lace of her bra. He let his eyes trail down her face, finding the pulse that beat at her throat, before moving down to her chest. A moment passed, before he leaned down, pressing a butterfly-like kiss to first one breast, then the other.

"You actually kept them?" He asked, turning to look at her. She nodded, wrapping her arms around herself, tears glistening in her dark eyes.

"Yeah. I kept all of them." She choked out, glancing at him.

"I love what I see." He whispered, capturing her lips in a gentle kiss before returning his mouth to her breast and gently teasing her nipple through the thin, lacy fabric. She gasped, a breathy little sigh that made his pulse jump and his heart flip, even as he continued to tease. She ran her hands over his shoulders, digging her nails into his back as his lips moved lower. leaving a trail of kisses down her stomach, before moving to lightly press against the inside of each of her thighs. When he returned his lips to hers, she was tipsy on arousal alone, her dark eyes burning with desire.

"Are you sure about this?" She nodded, leaning up to capture his lips in a deep kiss. With the ingrained ease of a dancer, she flipped them over, reaching behind her to unhook her bra, tossing it aside. They were soon completely nude, and as she pressed herself against the length of his body, she whispered,

"I may look small, but I'm not a child, Zane. I'm a big girl, I know what I want," She pressed her lips to his in a quick kiss. "You." He grinned, capturing her mouth in a hot kiss, flipping them over and taking control.

Zane swallowed, turning away. It didn't right, to watch his other self make love to Jo. Okay, technically himself, but he had no memories of ever being in her bed, and so...

"That first night was so..." She stopped, sniffling. "It took us a while. We didn't just fall into bed and instantly know what we wanted or how. It took us a while to figure it out. But... eventually, we got it right." She turned; Zane wasn't watching the memory, nor was he looking at her. "I wasn't... very good with... I was better with guns than guys, let's just put it that way. There were a couple relationships- Marks, Eric Brogan- he was in my platoon, we had a... a fling down in New Orleans over Mardi Gras one year-" She licked her lips. "And then I dated Callistar Raynes, but he was a robot, and... there was this... weird thing with Taggart..." She stopped, turning back to the memory. "You were my first real relationship. First real boyfriend. First real... everything." She wrapped her arms tight around herself, becoming lost in the memory.

"What are you thinking?" She shifted onto her side to watch him. Tucking her hands under her head, she said,

"How right it felt." She leaned close, kissing him deeply. He pulled away, suspicious.

"Really?" She nodded, her nose wrinkling as she grinned.

"Abso-frakin'-lutely." Their lips met again, and he pulled her into his arms.

She gasped softly, feeling his arms go around her from behind. "I guess that was when we fell in love, huh?" She shook her head.

"No. It... it was a long time before we fell in love, but... then it was... just the start, I guess. Back before we got screwed up, before our love took a... really fucked up turn." He looked at her.

"Fucked up how?" She shrugged.

"Oversized egos, swapping bodies, double suns, hidden bunkers.."

"What exactly went on in your timeline?" She turned back to him.

"You have no idea."
