"See, this is exactly the reason I married you" Zoe beamed as Nick spun their car into the multistory carpark that sat opposite her favorite shopping centre. "You do know the way to my heart don't you" She turned to look at him, a smile dancing on her lips as she reached over to rest her hand lightly on his thigh as he reversed the car into a parking bay.

"Although I do fear for my credit card" He chuckled, walking around to her side of the car as she climbed out of the passenger seat, looking as immaculate as ever dressed in a casual pair of jeans and of course, her signature Jimmy Choo heels.

"You're the one who brought me here Nick, you're asking for it" She winked as she reached out to take his hand in hers as they walked hand in hand towards the centre. "Although, I could always buy a little something to thank you with later" She added, turning to look at him with a mischievous grin on her face, indicating exaxtly to Nick as to what kind of surprise she had in mind.

"now I do like the sound of that" He gently squeezed her hand, flashing her his knee weakening wink, wrapping his arm around her waist as he pulled her by his side, leading her through the busy crowds of people.

.

"So about this little something you've brought?" Nick asked as they drove home, not having any indication what so ever as to what she had actually purchased. "Do I get to see it when we get home?"

She squeezed his thigh firmly from where her hand rested, "You just wait until I get you through that door" She teased, running her tongue teasingly slow along her bottom lip as she glanced across at him as he momentarily took his eyes off the road.

"and this is the reason I married you" He chuckled, mimicking her comment from this morning.

"Just hurry up and drive" She demanded, impatiently tapping her foot on the car door as her eyes set on watching him, eagerly wanting to get him home and rip his clothes off. As soon as they pulled up on the driveway Zoe raced out of the car and inside, Nick closely following behind.

"Meet me upstairs in 5 minutes" She called as she rushed up the stairs, kicking her heels off as she went.

He did as ordered and waited 5 long minutes until he finally appeared in their bedroom. "Wow" He gasped as he entered the room, his breath catching and his eyes widening as he caught sight of Zoe standing against the door to their en suite bathroom. "That was definitely worth buying" He commented, backing himself over to sit down on the bed, his eyes not leaving Zoe's body the whole time as he moved across the room.

"you like?" She smiled, teasingly biting down on her bottom lip as she watched his every move, placing her hand on her hip as she remained standing by the door.

"You know how much I like you in red" "Stop teasing and come here" He grinned, wiggling his finger for her to join him on the bed. She sauntered over, slowly climbing onto the bed as she hooked her leg over Nicks thigh, looping her arms around his neck as he placed his around her waist, his fingers slowly running up and down her waist to her hip before slowly reaching up to kiss her. "You are beautiful" He breathed, turning her over and lowering her down onto the bed.

.

"I've got another little surprise in store for you yet" Nick announced as he kissed the back of her neck, holding her body close to his as they lay in bed, their bodies tangled with one and another.

"hmm" Zoe sleepily mumbled in response, "and what's that then?" She asked, turning over onto her side so that she could lay and face him.

"Friday, as soon as we finish work, we're going away for the weekend" Nick revealed.

"oh yeah" Zoe grinned, "is that a dirty weekend away or a family break?" She asked, knowing perfectly well what the answer was going to be.

"Definitely a dirty weekend" He confirmed, his hand resting on her hip as he drew circles across her bare skin. "We deserve it don't you think?"

"We definitely do" She nodded, edging closer to him as she placed a soft kiss upon his lips. "Where are we going?" She asked.

"Does it matter where we're going? You get to spend 48 hours in bed with me"

"48 hours? Don't flatter yourself Nick" She rolled her eyes.

"are you doubting my stamina?" Nick raised an eyebrow, as he straddled himself over her body, lightly pushing her back against the mattress as he pinned her arms above her head, trailing his kisses right the way down her body as he teased her.

"Of course not.." She softly giggled, throwing her head back against the pillow as he moved back up to kiss her, not allowing her to say another word.
