A couple days later, we're at Zack's place. He had the room so we slept in one of the guest bedrooms. I was still sleeping of for a good amount of time, before shifting in my spot. That's when I realize Alex isn't there. I open my eyes to look, not seeing him anywhere in the room. But I heard talking so I got out of bed and went out of the room, into the living room. There's Alex with Zack and they have gym bags in hand.

"Hey. Thought you were sleeping."

"I was...until I noticed you were not there." I lean into his side. "I heard talking out here so I decided to come see what was going on."

"Ohh, well we're going to the gym soon."

"You're welcome to come." Zack offers.

"I mean, you have plenty of time to get ready, just waiting on Big O to get here." He adds.

"I would love if you came." Alex says for me to hear.

"So you can kill me with the distractions again?"

"You know you love it."

"What if I pass on the gym today? What're you gonna do then?" I snicker.

"Hmmm..." He pretends to think. "...there is always the video option."

"There's no way out of this is there?"

"No there is not." Zack chuckles.

"I'll go get changed..."

"Don't take to long." Alex leans over giving me a kiss.

"I'll try."

Alex runs his fingers through my hair, giving me a lingering kiss in hopes I will not be long. I then get up and walk back to our room to get ready. It doesn't take me long, because all I put on his shorts, a tank top, sneakers and I tie my hair up. I don't bother with makeup or anything for right now. I grab a few things I might need, like my iPod and headphones. Once I have all that I walk back into the living room and sit next to Alex.

"My shorts?" He chuckles.

"Didn't feel like digging through my bags."

"I don't mind. You look good in my clothes anyway."

"Good to know."

"I think you're going to be the distraction today and not me."

"You think so huh?"

"I know so." He looks me over. "I'm already getting there."

"Oops."

"Hey you love birds. Big O is here. Are you ready?" Zack calls from over by the door.

"I don't know about him, but I am." I say, getting up.

"Huh..." Alex shakes his head. "...I'm coming." He adds getting up and following me.

"Is he always like that?" Zack asks.

"Pretty much." I laugh.

"You would be too, if you had someone as beautiful as her man." Alex says walking up to us.

"Gonna make me blush this early already?" I say to him.

"Yes I am." He grins. "I love making you blush."

Then we reach where Big O is and he and Zack greet each other.

"And who's this..." He says about me.

"Don't waste your time bro, she's taken."

"I wouldn't mind dating that." He whispers to Zack.

"Thought you trying to get Kelly Kelly?" He whispers back.

"I am, but she is hotter than Kelly honestly."

"Well honestly, you better just stick with Kelly."

"Why is th-" He starts as Alex and I walk up. "I see now." he mutters to Zack.

Zack just nods.

"Hey." I greet as we walk up. "We ready?"

"Yeah, we're all set."

We make sure we have everything that we need before heading out to the cars. Alex and I take ours while Zack rides with Big O.

"Will I have to tout your weight lifting again?" I laugh.

"Maybe." Alex grins. "Gotta show all the A-Ry Addicts how to keep it real."

"Of course."

"I know how much you enjoy it too."

"I do. I know you like to do more and more each day to reach a goal. Just don't hurt yourself."

"I won't. I will get there. Just as long as I have you there cheering for me, I know I will reach it with no problem at all."

"I know you'll reach it."

"I plan on it. Getting easier each day."

"Even though it doesn't look like it gets easier."

"I just make it look that good."

"Of course you do."

We soon pull up to the gym and Alex finds a place to park. After he shut the car off we got out and grabbed our bags before heading inside. Alex goes and does some of the easier stuff to start out, and I do the usual with the treadmill. I really do not pay attention to what is going on around me since I have my headphones on. I do take casual glances over at Alex and can't help but to bite my lip seeing his muscles flex with each rep he does.

"Everytime..." I say to myself.

I shake the thoughts out of my head and keep walking for a bit longer before deciding to more onto something else. I decide to do a bit of weight lifting myself, making sure I'm doing it where he can see. I start off doing things light, but making sure to go extra slow. I could see him out of the corner of my eye and see he is having a hard time focusing on what he is doing. I smile to myself, knowing that I'm getting to him. Just thankfully he wasn't doing anything where he would drop something or get injured if too distracted. After doing a few sets, I decide to take a break for some water. I make my way over to the bench where my bag was when Alex walked over.

"Trying to kill me?" He kisses the top of my head before sitting next to me.

"Oh you were watching? I didn't even know." I try to say seriously.

"You know exactly what you were doing." He grins.

"Maybe I did."

"You are so going to get it later."

"I'm so scared." I laugh.

"You should be." He smirks. "You might not be able to hide them this time."

"Uh oh."

"That's what happens when you do that and wear my clothes at the same time."

"Oops." I giggle.

He moves closer, hovering his lips near my ear. "You're just lucky we are in public right now."

"...that didn't stop you the other day..."

"There's more people here this time." He brushes his lips over my cheek.

"True..."

"There will be plenty of time later."

"Right." I nod.

"You both done already?" Zack asks as he walks up grabbing his water bottle.

"Just taking a break."

"Ah. Well we are almost done then Big O and I are gonna get some lunch. You guys in?" Zack asks after taking a sip of his water.

"I'm in." I nod.

"Sounds like a plan." Alex adds.

"So, what's the plan for tonight?" I ask.

"You now me well enough by now that it's club night." Zack replies.

"Of course." I laugh.

"You want to go?" Alex asks me.

"I haven't been in a while, of course I want to go."

"We'll go then. That is if Zack does not mind."

"I don't mind at all. The more the better the party!" Zack fist pumps. "Plus, you're here this weekend to have fun." He adds.

"That's true." I nod.

"That is exactly what we're going to do tonight." Alex adds.

"Good."

We talk a bit more before deciding to do a few more things before we head to lunch. Meanwhile, Stef and Mike have finished breakfast. He was cleaning up when she went into the living room where all the titles he's held are sitting on the shelf. She gets an idea and takes the WWE Championship, sneaking away to head to the bedroom. When she gets in there, she goes into his closet and searches for one of his shirts and put that on. She changes into a pair of shorts to make the outfit complete. She puts the title around her waist and struggles a bit since it was a bit heavy. She makes sure everything looked good in the mirror before making her way back into the living room. By the time she got out to the living room, Mike was done cleaning up in the kitchen and he started looking for her.

"Stef?" Mike called not seeing anywhere.

"Yes?" She calls from behind the couch so he can only see that she's wearing his shirt.

"There you are."

"Here I am." She grins a bit, trying not to laugh.

"You're wearing one of my shirts?"

"Yes." She smirks. "I have to say, I make it look good too." She says in a cocky way.

"I can't argue with that."

"I also think I make this look good too." She steps from behind the couch so he can see that she's wearing his title.

"You're wearing that too..."

"Mhm." She nods with a smirk. "Now who is the most must see Champion?" She places her finger on her chin as if thinking. "Oh, that would be me." She points to herself before placing her hands on her hips.

"I think you meant to say me." He grins.

"No, I was right the first time." She teases.

"Are you sure?"

"I am the one with the title on, so...yes I'm sure."

"But your name isn't on it."

"No..."

"That can be changed easily." She adds with a chuckle. "Now where's that sharpie..." She says, pretending to look around.

"Oh no you don't."

"I think I see one over there." She smirks, walking toward the shelf with his movies.

"Don't even think about it."

"Hmmm...what are you going to do if I do?"

"I think you know..."

"Do I now?" She raises a brow.

"Yes you do."

"You have to catch me first." She grabs a marker from the shelf and starts to walk away fast.

"I accept the challenge." He smirks.

"Hmmm..." She takes the cap off the marker. "...what should I put?" She looks at the title then back at Mike.

"How about...I'm gonna get you..." Mike says and lunges for her.

"Ahhh." She squeals as she tries to move out of the way, just in time. You have to be faster than that." She teases as she takes off running to the patio.

"I'm so gonna get you."

"You can try...no one can catch me!" She calls. "I'm the best Champ there is!"

He chuckles and dashes out to the patio after her. She looks over her shoulder to see him close behind her. She tries to run as fast as she can since the title was heavy and slowing her down. She makes her way over to the pool and starts to run around it. Since she's going one way around the pool, Mike decides to go around the other way. She sees what he is doing and stops, trying to go the other way. Then he goes the other way as well. She starts to get a bit tired, but is intent on him not catching her. When she sees him at the corner of the pool closest to her, trying to make a run for the doors to go back inside.

"Uh uh." He chuckles, suddenly grabbing her.

"Noooo." She tries not to laugh. "Looks like you got me."

"Yes I did."

"What are you going to do now?"

"First..." He says, grabbing the sharpie.

"Hey!" She pouts, trying to take it back.

"No sharpie for you around MY title." He chuckles.

"I wasn't really going to do anything."

"Well...just being safe."

"I still think it looks good on me." She grins, looking down at the title still on her waist.

"It does, I have to agree."

"So I can keep it?" She tilts her head to look at him.

"For today...even though I do have a second one..."

"If you have two, how come I can't keep this one?"

"I like to display them."

"Well, this can be mine when we come here. This way you can still display them."

"Hmm...deal."

"Yayy." She cheers. "You're the best." She leans up, kissing his cheek.

"Oh, I know."

"Am I in trouble for what I did or will I find out later?"

"You'll find out later."

"Oh boy." She chuckles. "It's not good when you have all day to plan."

"You love it."

"I have to say that I do." She grins.

"I thought so."

"So, what's the plan for today?"

"I was thinking we just make it a relaxing day."

"I like the sound of that." She leans back into him. "What first?"

"Well the pool looks nice..."

"...I saw we start with that." He whispers in her ear before kissing her cheek.

"You would like that, wouldn't you?" She chuckles.

"Yes I would."

"Of course you would." She laughs, turning in his arms. She wrapped her arms around his neck. "You have to let me go first." She brushes her lips against his.

"Aww, do I have to?"

"Unless you want me to get in like this..." She refers to his shirt and the shorts she has on. "...then you have to."

"...I do like your swimsuits..."

"Then maybe I should put on one then..."

"You should." He says, letting her go.

"You need to change too." She pokes him in the side. "I'll meet you back here."

"Alright." He nods.

They make their way inside, where she takes off the title and sets it back on the shelf with the others. Once that was put away, she made her way in the bedroom to pick out a swimsuit. Finding one, she smirks just knowing it is going to kill him. After getting that, she grabs her matching coverup and headed in the bathroom to change. Then she heads out to the patio, to the pool where Mike was already waiting. Seeing him in just his swim trunks distracts her a bit. She bites her lip as she shakes any thoughts out of her head. She walks over to one of the chairs and sets the towels down that she had gotten for the both of them. Just as she sits down, Mike looks over at her.

"Swimsuit?" He asks.

"You know...I knew I forgot something." She teases, trying not to laugh.

"Suuure. You just love to make me wait."

"Maybe I do." She slowly starts to untie the coverup. She hears him groan and tries not to laugh.

"You're taking too long."

"Am I?" She gets the strap undone and slightly pulls the sides apart.

"Yes...you are..."

"Patience." She giggles as she stands up and moves it slowly off her shoulders before letting it fall down on the chair.

When she looks over at Mike, his eyes have not left her and he's staring.

"Mike..." She laughs, waving her hand. "...you alright?"

"Huh?"

"You look a bit out of it." She slowly starts to move toward him.

"I do?"

"You do." She stops in front of him. "You're going to get flies." She lifts his chin since his jaw is still slightly dropped.

"Oops."

"Now...are you going to come in or am I going to swim alone?" She asks, having moved since he was still in a bit of a daze.

"Well we can't have you swimming alone."

"I don't think you would ever allow that."

"Of course not."

She makes her way slowly down the stairs and walking out a bit before turning to face Mike.

"Coming?" She asks as she moves farther away from the stairs.

"Coming." He says, finally snapping out of it.

He makes his way into the water coming towards her. She decides to tease him more by moving back away from him.

"Heyy..."

"What?" She smirks innocently.

"You're moving away from me..."

"No I'm not." She stops moving, giving him the chance to catch her.

"Not now..."

He reaches her and pulls her to him. Just resting his hands on her hips while she wraps her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist.

"Got you now..." He chuckles.

"Yeah...and?" She lets her nails run across the skin of his shoulders.

"...and...you're mine."

"All yours." She brushes her lips against his, letting them linger for a moment.

"I could get used to this." She grins.

"You should. Nothing is going to change." He moves her hair away from her face. "It's only going to get better."

"Mmm...can't wait." She closes her eyes while leaning her forehead against his. He leans closer, moving his head so he is able to give her a kiss. As he does that, her hands find their way to his hair as he moves his from her waist and up her back, pulling her closer to him.

That's when he starts to walk forwards, until her back hits the wall of the pool. He puts his hands on the wall behind her as she tightens her legs around his waist. She starts to tug at his hair while he starts to deepen the kiss more. After a bit, he moves his hands from the wall where they were resting to rest on her hips. They pull away briefly for air, but he decides he is not done yet and goes right back for her lips. He starts to move his fingers along her skin just above her hips making her tense a bit. In return, she moves one hand from his hair and runs her nails lightly across his neck. That makes a quiet noise come from him, but she can clearly hear it. She smirks into the kiss, doing it one more time. That earns her another noise, but not as quiet this time. Before she could do anything else, he reaches up and took her hand away. She whines at not being able to touch him so she moves her other hand only to have him grab that one too.

"No more..." He mumbles.

"Awwww." She whines.

"You just figured out what that does to me..."

"So I did..." She grins. "...you loved it too."

"...well that was obvious."

"Now I know how to get you back."

"Of course."

"Can I have my hands back yet?"

"I like holding them."

"I like when you hold them too." She smiles, kissing his cheek before moving to his ear. "I really like it." She whispers before nipping at his earlobe a bit.

"Do you now?"

"Yes I do." She kisses down his neck slowly.

"How much do you really like it?"

"Enough to never want to let go."

All he can do is smile. She feels him squeeze her hands and that makes her smile as she rests her head on his shoulder for now.

"I never want to let go either."

"Awe Mike." She bites her lip, tearing up a bit.

"I care about you that much."

"That's the best thing anyone has ever told me." She chokes up. "I care about you that much too, if not more."

"Aww."

"It's all true. I have never been this happy before...ever."

"Well you deserve to be happy."

"Like you always tell me."

"Because it's true."

"You're too sweet." She nuzzles his neck. "I plan on making you very happy too."

"I like the sound of that."

"Good. You're going to know how thankful I am for you."

"Even though I've got a pretty good idea of that."

"That's my plan. I'm going to keep on showing you too."

"So am I."

She lifts her head off his shoulder and looks into his eyes. She bites her lip just looking into those amazing blue eues that she loved. Mike leans in and brushes his lips against hers before she pressed hers against his in a soft kiss. When she does pull away, she leans her forehead against his, eyes still closed.

"Best...moment...ever."

"I couldn't agree more."

"Wish we could never move."

"I know right?"

"Unfortunately we're going to have to." She sighs.

"Eventually."

"So we're staying here all day?" She chuckles a bit, but hopeful.

"Maybe."

"I hope that means yes because that would make me even more happy right now."

"Anything to make you happy."

"Well I'm very happy we don't have to move." She smiles. "I don't know what I would do without you."

"I don't know what I would do without you either."

"I would probably be stuck in New York right now, not going after what I really want to do."

"Well I'm glad you didn't get stuck there."

"So am I. I have Shauna and you to thank for that."

"I feel special."

"That's because you are...especially to me."

"And you're special to me."

"That is all I could ever ask for."

"Always will be."

"You don't have anything else planned today, did you?" She suddenly realizes she never asked.

"Not really."

"Alright. Just making sure." She rests her head on his shoulder again, sighing in content.

"But we can always find things to do."

"We could..." She starts to think. "...you know, I always wanted to see the Hollywood sign up close.."

"We can do that. I still personally think they should change it to MizWood, but I can deal with it."

"Wonder who we would have to talk to, to make that happen?" She muses. "It's still MizWood to me no matter what the sign says. Ever since you said it that once, I have always thought of it as MizWood."

"Good to know someone agrees with me."

"I always have and always will." She grins. "If you don't believe me, just ask Shauna. She'll tell you." She adds.

"I believe you."

"Good because I would never lie to you, about anything."

"And I would never lie to you about anything."

"That's how it should be." She smiles to herself.

"Exactly."

He then kisses her cheek, laying soft kisses along her jaw to her neck. Since the mark he left is still there a bit, he decides to not leave one this time and just keeps his kisses soft and light. She nuzzles his neck more just enjoying the feeling of his kisses. By now he's let go of her hands and wrapped his arms around her, holding her close. Her arms go around his neck so she can pull him just as close. She decides to just let her fingers run through his hair for now.

"Your hair isn't wet enough." She laughs.

"What do you suggest?" He raises a brow, moving them away from the wall.

"Hmmm..." She trails off before splashing him.

"...that works." She laughs.

"You know what this means right?"

"I think I do..." She looks from him to the water, then back to him. "...we're going under?"

"You guessed right."

"Oh boy." She holds him tight as he ducks under the water quickly.

"Now we're both wet even more." He says, after they both resurface.

"Looks like we are." She laughs. "I guess I did deserve that though."

"Yes you did."

"What happens if I do it again?" She challenges.

"That will be left for surprise."

She smirks before splashing him again.

"Challenge accepted." Her smirk still intact.

"Oh it's on."

"Bring it on tough guy."

That's when she pulls away from him and starts to swim away.

"No you don't. I am not done with you." He says, coming after her.

"Gotta catch me first." She calls over her shoulder as she climbs on the side of the pool to get out.

"Oh that's not fair."

"Haha." She points at him with a smirk. "What're you gonna do now?"

"What am I gonna do now? I'll show you." He says, getting out of the pool from the nearest side.

"Uh oh..." She takes off running as fast as she could away from him.

"No you don't..."

Before she knows it, he had caught her and had his arms wrapped around her waist so she could not move.

"Aha, I got you."

"I can see that." She laughs. "Do you want a cookie or something?" She jokes.

"Haha, very funny."

"I know I am." She grins. "Seriously though...you want a prize for your success?" She tilts her head to look at him.

"Maybe.."

"What would that be?" She teases, knowing what he wanted.

"I think you know."

"Maybe I do..." She smirks as she turns in his arms, resting her hands on his arms.

"Maybe?" He chuckles.

"Okay." She laughs. "I do know."

"I thought so."

"Tell me..." She brushes her lips against his, teasing him. "...how bad do you want it?"

"...really bad..."

She runs her hands up his arms to the back of his neck. She pulls him closer so their lips are barely touching. Giving him a light, teasing kiss, she hears him groan. Deciding she made him wait long enough, she finally presses her lips to his. He kisses back eagerly as his arms go around her tighter, holding her as close as he can. Her arms go around his neck more so she's even closer to him. It gets to the point where he's moved his hands so he was able to lift her up. She wrapped her legs around his waist as he made his way over to the swing he had outside. He sat down so that she was on his lap. He then moved his one hand to her waist and the other to her upper back. He makes sure to hold her so that she wouldn't end up falling, considering it was a swing and all. They break for air, but instead of her lips, he kisses down her jaw to her cheek before making his way to her neck.

"Mike..." She tries to be stern through her breaths.

He does not listen and keeps going until he gets to the spot where he left a mark earlier in the week. She tenses up with her hands finding there way to his hair as she gently tugs on it. Despite her having a mark there already, this time he didn't stop in going after the sensitive spot with the previous mark already on it. Her grip on his hair got a bit tighter as she bit her lip trying to keep any noises from escaping, but a few came out muffled into his shoulder. He smirks against her skin, and continues for a bit longer, before pulling away from her neck.

"...you love...doing that." She breathlessly mumbles into his shoulder.

"I do...I might've made the mark bigger."

"I wouldn't put it past you." She relaxes into him. "You want everyone to know who I'm with, don't you?"

"Of course."

"I think they should know by now with all the Touts you sent out."

"True."

"But, now that you had your fun...how about we dry off and get changed?" She suggests, still not moving her head from his shoulder.

"Do we have to?"

"We can stay here and dry off if you want to."

"I like that idea."

"I knew you would." She relaxes into him more.

"Even though towels help with drying of more...but I don't want to move."

"Me either, plus the sun can do that too."

"Exactly."

She snuggles happily into him more while he has his arms wrapped around her tightly, not wanting to let go until they are totally dry. It takes some time, but with sitting in the sun, they both finally dry off.

"Alright cuddle bug...we are dry now."

"I think we should go change now." She adds.

"Awww." Mike whines against her shoulder.

"You can carry me if you want." She tries to coax him.

"Let's go then." He says.

She holds onto him tight as he stands up and walks into the condo, making his way to his room. She was laying her head on his shoulder so relaxes and content, she did not know they were there until he laid her on the bed.

"Too comfortable?" He chuckles.

"Mhm." She slowly nods her head.

"Because of me or the bed?"

"You, but the bed is comfy too."

"So the bed's just contributing to it."

"Yes..." She looks at him. "Would be even better if I was laying with you."

"I was just going to. I wanted to make sure you were comfortable first."

"I am."

"Good." He says, before laying on the bed, next to her.

"I'm even better now." She sighs in content as she snuggles into his side.

"So am I."

She smiles as he wraps his arms around her, holding her in place. She tries to hide a yawn but fails.

"I think someone needs a nap." Mike chuckles.

"I don't wanna." She whines.

"You yawned."

"I guess you caught me."

"Yes I did."

"I'm not winning this time am I?"

"Most likely not."

"I can already tell." She refers to his hand moving up and down her back, making it hard for her to keep her eyes open.

"This always helps...it never fails."

"You're right...it never does." She becomes relaxed to the point where her words come out slow.

"It's working already." he chuckles.

"Mhm." She nods her head slightly.

"Sleep." He says softly, pressing a kiss to her forehead.

All she's able to do is mumble a response since her eyes had fallen shut and she was completely relaxed. She feels him pull her closer to him and that is the last thing she remembers.

With me and Alex, we had just left lunch and headed back to Zack's place. Since we did not have the chance to shower before leaving the gym, I decided to get one real quick.

"Shouldn't take me long." I tell Alex.

"I hope not."

"Oh, don't worry. I'll make sure it doesn't take long."

"Good." He grins.

I grab different clothes before heading into the bathroom to shower. I made sure to do everything quickly. When I was done, I got my clothes on for the day and decided to do my makeup then my hair. It did not take to long to do all that and once I was done I walked back into the bedroom.

"Amazing." Alex says once he sees me.

"Like always."

"It's the truth."

"Oh I know."

"I also had time to think too." He smirks walking to her.

"Uh oh."

"That's right." He walks up, wrapping his arms around my waist. "Payback for what you did this morning."

"Is it too late to apologize?"

"Yes it is." He chuckles. "You're so in for it." He whispers just inches from my lips.

"Oh darn."

"When it will happen..." He pauses, hovering over the skin of my neck. "...you'll never know." He brushes his lips up my neck, making his way to my lips. But he increases the torture by just having his lips just barely touching mine. He decides to just move his fingers lightly over my shirt near my waist, making me whine. Pressing his lips to mine, he gives me a soft kiss, but makes sure to keep it very short.

I whine a bit more when he pulls away, not wanting him to stop right now.

"You want more?"

"You know the answer to that."

"After my shower." He smirks.

"Kill me more why don't you."

"You never know...I just might." He gives me a quick peck before pulling away to go get his shower.

I whine a bit more as he leaves to go get his shower. I decide to take out my phone and do a few things to keep myself busy. Since I was busy on my phone, I did not notice Alex walk back in the room. Once I glance up, I do a double take as my eyes go wide seeing him in just a towel, his hair still wet and the water dripping on his shoulders and running down his arms. I bite my lips and mumble to myself at the thoughts that are coming to my mind seeing him in nothing but a towel. I try my absolute hardest to look away, but he's making it very difficult. It's taking me everything to not jump him right now. Since he knows what he is doing, he takes his time getting his clothes ready that he 'forgot' to take with him the first time.

"You're so killing me." I say, not managing to keep quiet.

"Is that so?" He teases. "I had no idea."

"Sure...this is still payback for this morning."

"Actually...I did not plan this one."

"Really?"

"Really." He chuckles. "Although I'm sure it's payback enough...for now."

"It is...trust me. You do not want to know what's going through my mind."

"What if I do?" He raises a brow. "Would you tell me?"

"Probably not. There are things I like to keep to myself."

"Well hopefully one day you will tell me."

"You'll have to wait and see."

"It'll be hard, but I will manage somehow."

"Speaking of managing. If you don't get dressed soon, I may not be able to manage sitting here for much longer."

"Am I distracting you that much?"

"Maybe."

"I guess I'll go get dressed then."

"Unless you plan on staying like that to kill me even more..."

"Oh, I have a plan for that." He smirks before walking out of the room. I sit on the bed trying to think what he could mean while still trying to get the other thoughts out of my head. A few minutes later, he walks back in the room in jeans and one of his basketball jerseys.

"...youuuu..."

"Meeee."

"You just had to, didn't you?"

"Yes I did. This way my plan." He grins.

"You know what all that does to me." I refer to his clothes.

"I know. That's why I chose this to wear today."

"Evil..."

"You know you love it, plus you do it to me too."

"Oh, I know."

"Just like tonight."

He walks over to the bed sitting next to me. Before I know it, he pulled me on his lap holding me close to him.

"Cuddly."

"How can I not be?" He moves my hair from my shoulder, running his finger down my neck.

That makes me let out an involuntary shiver and I try to not make it noticeable. I hear Alex chuckle since he did notice. Next thing I know he has his lips on my neck kissing and nipping lightly at my skin just waiting for a reaction. My eyes close unconsciously as I get lost in the feeling, and since one of my hands was resting on his arm, I tightened my hold on it just a tad. Doing that let him know what he was doing was getting to me. He started to nip a bit more at my skin just grazing over my sensitive spot for now. When he grazes over it, I tense a bit and since I am so close to him, he does feel it. He smirks against my skin, waiting for the right moment to go after it. Deciding to make me wait, he slides his tongue over the spot before going after it. I bite my lip trying to contain any noises, but I fail the more he works on the spot. Once he feels there will be a good size, yet coverable mark, he pulls away and smirks seeing it start to form.

"Another mark?"

"You know me all to well."

"I made sure it was."

"Good."

"Can't have it too big for tonight, even though I wanted it to be."

"Right, right."

"Was there anything you wanted to do until we left later?"

"Well I didn't have anything in mind really."

"We can either stay in and watch movies or go out and find something to do? Up to you."

"Well I am comfortable..."

"Same here." He holds me tighter. "So, staying here it is."

"Good choice."

He then moves us so that we are able to lay down if we want to. I snuggle into him as he gets the remote to find something to watch. We both agree on something, and he puts the remote down and we watch. He keeps his arms around me, only moving so he can move my hair off my shoulder so he can get a good look at the mark me made.

"You love looking at that thing don't you?"

"I do. I'm actually proud of this one." He grins.

"Of course you are."

"Could be bigger, but it will do...for now."

"Of course it could be bigger...you would want it bigger."

"I do want it bigger...Zack's not home yet, so..."

"But we're going out tonight..."

"True...maybe we will come back earlier than Zack..."

"You'd like that, wouldn't you?"

"I would love that."

"I thought so."

Just then we hear the front door open then shut. Not to long after that Zack knocks on the door.

"I'm back you two." He calls from behind that door.

"You can come in if you want." I call back.

"Alright." He chuckles as he opens the door. "Did not want to walk in on anything." He winks.

"Oh you won't have to worry about that. We made sure to get any of that done before you got back."

"Ooohhh. Really now?"

"Nothing you need to know about."

"I think I know, but you're right."

"Aren't I always?" I laugh.

"Yes you are."

"So, what's up?"

"Nothing. just wanted to let you know I was back so you did not worry."

"Ah ok. Even though we knew you'd be coming back like any minute."

"I know. Just with everything going on, I did not want you to worry."

"You know I completely forgot about everything that's been going on."

"Good. That is what this weekend is all about."

"And I thank you for this weekend."

"You're welcome. Anything for a friend."

"Of course."

"I'll let you get back to your movie now. Just wanted to let you know I was back." He says heading for the door. "We're thinking about leaving around 7 or so. Stopping off for dinner first." He adds.

"Alright, sounds good."

Zack nods before leaving the room and closing the door behind him.

"Dinner...I'm paying for both our meals." Alex says. "Yours and mine of course."

"You're too sweet." I tilt my head to kiss his cheek. "I wouldn't have it any other way."

"You deserve everything I give you."

"You always tell me that." I blush slightly.

"Because you do deserve everything."

"Awww." I blush more. "I have a feeling you are never going to stop showing me that either."

"Nope."

"I didn't think so."

"I'll always show you have much you deserve everything."

"Even though you do not have to, I appreciate it." I smile.

"I know I don't have to, but I want to, and you're welcome."

"That's why you are the best." I give him a quick kiss.

"So are you."

"You just love making me blush." I try to hide.

"Because it's cute."

"Of course you think it is."

"I always will think it is."

"Of course you will."

"And no hiding..."

"I know..." I slowly lift my head.

"You're not blushing that bad."

"Felt like I was."

"You're still beautiful no matter what."

"How red you you want me to get?" I laugh. "I don't think there is anything more red than a lobster...even though you will get me there."

"I tend to do that a lot." He chuckles.

"A lot?" I chuckle. "Try all the time."

"Okay, okay, so all the time."

"I don't mind though. It just shows that you care."

"Just as long as you know that."

"Of course I know that."

"Good."

He kisses the top of my head as I snuggle more into him. We turn our attention back to the movie while he starts to be all touchy. I try to focus more on the movie than his touchiness. Since I am wearing a tank top, he lets his fingers run lightly over the skin of my arm. I try not to shiver the slightest bit, but since he is running his fingers lightly over the skin, it makes it hard not to. He chuckles, knowing that what he is doing is getting to me.

"You're making it hard to focus on the movie..."

"Oops."

"Doing that on purpose are you?"

"Maybe I am." He grins.

"Keep doing that and I think you know what will happen."

"You'll go to sleep?"

"Nooo."

"Well...maybe I should keep doing it then..." He smirks.

"Maybe you should..."

"Or...I can stop..." He moves his hand so it is hovering over my arm just enough for me to know it is there.

"Only if you don't want to find out what will happen."

He starts to do it again, curious to see what I would do. At first I don't do anything. I make him wait for a bit. When he least expects it, I move so I'm straddling his hips with a smirk on my face.

"Well hello." He chuckles placing his hands on my hips.

"I told you I would do something."

"I can do more this way." He starts to move his fingers back and forth.

"Not if I do this..." I trail off, grabbing his hands and taking them off my hips and lacing my fingers with his.

"Not fair."

"Payback for your payback on me."

"Still..." He whines at not being able to touch me.

"Don't worry...I won't be holding your hands for long. I plan to let them go."

"When you do, you are going to regret it."

"Oooh I'm so scared."

"I may not be able to control myself this time."

"So what're you saying exactly?" I giggle.

"That's for me to know and you to find out."

"Am I willing to take that chance? Hmm..." I think to myself.

Alex just groans getting more impatient the longer I take to think.

"...patience you."

"You know I have none when it comes to you."

"I know...I just like telling you."

"Huuurrrry." He groans.

"Hmmm, maybe I'll just make you wait some more." I smirk.

"Noooooo."

Then my smirk turns to a grin and in a blink of an eye, I let his hands go and I grab his face and press my lips to his, and hard if I may add. His hands go right back to my hips, pulling me as close as I can get before he moves them to my back, holding me in place kissing back just has hard. He moves his one hand down and lets it glide across the skin of my lower back since my shirt lifted up a little. That sends a shiver down my spine, but makes me kiss him even more eagerly. Before I know it, he's moved us and I was the one laying on the bed, not him. My hands move to his hair and I tug on it a bit. He lets his hands wander, but above my shirt for now s he focuses on the kiss. It gets to the point where I start to move under him and he hold my waist so I can not move.

"...no...moving..." He mumbles into the kiss.

"...oops..."

He goes back to focusing on the kiss more just letting his fingers move back and forth against my hips. He pulls away briefly for air then instead of going for my lips, he decides to go to the other side of my neck just lightly kissing as me moves farther down.

"No more marks..."

"...I know..." He mumbles as he searches for my sensitive spot. Once he reaches a certain part of my neck, I tense up and feel him smirk since he knows he found it. He lightly brushes his lips over it just teasing me right now.

"So much...for the movie..." I mumble.

"What movie?" He mumbles just as he goes for my spot, using his tongue this time so he does not leave a mark. That gets a reaction out of me and I bite my lip, trying to contain and noises since Zack is home. Since he is determined to get something out of me, he starts to nip lightly. That of course gets a few noises to come out of me as I muffle any noise into his shoulder. He decides that's enough so he pulls away after he smirks against my skin and moves us once more, but so that I'm snuggled into his side, but my head is still resting on his shoulder.

"Told you, you would regret it." He grins.

"You're lucky I was able to make my noises quiet. Zack would be curious."

"He's probably to busy listening to The Backstreet Boys to even know what is going on."

"Not that I can blame him. They're an awesome band."

"Still killing me with this jersey."

"I can take it off..." He moves his hand, slowly lifting the bottom of his shirt.

"No no no, keep it on..."

"Are you sure now?"

"I'm sure."

"Alright then." He chuckles.

He pulls me closer, kissing the top of my head. We actually manage to focus on the TV for the next few hours until it was time to get ready for dinner and the club. I was too relaxed to want to move.

"I don't wanna move..." I mumble.

"Neither do I. You know, we could pass if you wanted to."

"No, I wanna go out...I do."

"Unfortunately we're going to have to move then."

"Gonna have to let me go then."

"Right." He reluctantly lets me go.

"It's a good thing I picked out what to wear, ahead of time." I say, as I move from the bed and go over to my things.

"That is a good thing. Less time I have to wait to see what you picked."

"What about you?" I ask.

"Well I'm wearing one part, just have to change my shirt."

"Well I'll just see when I get out of the bathroom, won't I?"

"Yes you will."

"Be right back." I say, kissing him quickly before heading out of the room and to the bathroom.

Once in there, I take off my other clothes before putting on my dress. I do my hair the way I want it then work on my makeup. When everything looks perfect, I grab my clothes and head back to the room. When I walk in, I see Alex in one of his button down shirts. It is a light blue color and really brings out his eyes.

"I've always thought blue looked great on you."

"That's the reason I wear it as much as I can." He grins.

"And I can't complain."

"Of course not." He finally takes a good look at me. "I do love when you wear that color too."

"Goes well with the blue in my hair. I'm surprised you haven't played with it today."

"I was too busy with other things."

"Oh yeah, that's right."

"But I'm not now..." He walks over to me and finds his way to the blue streak, running his fingers over it.

"Always touchy with that."

"I love it that much."

"I can tell."

"I say you should keep it."

"Well I will keep it. Once it fades, I may think of coloring all my hair."

"All your hair?" He raises a brow.

"Yes, all my hair."

"As much as I love the blue, I do love your normal color too."

"Which is why I said I may think about it."

"Thinking is a good idea."

"Ready to go?"

"I'm ready." He nods. "After you."

After grabbing what I would need, I head out of the room first, followed by Alex. We walk into the living room where we see Zack a ll ready. He tells us that he is picking up Big O, so Alex and I decide to take our own car. We all walk out together and since we were all going to dinner we follow Zack to pick up Big O before we all head to a place to grab something to eat before heading to the club. In the meantime, the sun was just setting in LA for Stef and Mike. They both decided to sit out on the patio and watch it. They were just relaxing on the swing, his arms around her waist as she was leaning back into him.

"This is nice."

"Very nice. Great way to end a perfect day."

"I couldn't agree more."

"We really need more days like these." She moves closer to him.

"Sometimes I get a lot of days off, sometimes it's just a couple. But I try to make more days like this."

"As long as I'm with you, it will not matter when or where we have days like this."

"Just the matter of being with you is good enough for me." She adds.

"Being with you is all I need too." He kisses her temple.

"Aww."

"It's the truth." He brings his hand to her face, gently rubbing her cheek with his thumb. All she can do is blush and try to hide her face.

"No hiding..."

"Can't help it." She mumbles into his chest.

"It's cute when you try to hide."

"Miiike." She tries to look down only for him to stop her.

"It's true."

"You always know what to say." She smiles.

"I'm good like that."

"You are and I could not be happier." She looks up at him. "Just one question...how did you get all that stuff set up at the sign for lunch?"

"I have my ways."

"You're just a sneak."

"You love it."

"Can't deny that. It was just perfect." She kisses him briefly.

"You're very welcome."

"The sunset looks so much better over here then over in New York. Especially with the mountains in the distance."

"I know right? Picked the perfect place to live."

"Yes you did. It's in the perfect spot."

"It is, isn't it?"

"Great view of pretty much everything."

"Which is why I chose it."

"You have great taste. The one thing I do love about here is the pool..."

"I had to get a place with a pool. That was a definite."

"Best feature in my mind...other than the jacuzzi."

"Had to get that too."

She goes to shift a bit in her spot when Mike decides she is not close enough to him. He pulls her onto his lap while his arms get tighter around her. She leans back into him and sighs in content just resting her hands on his arms...for now. Since she is close to his neck, she decides to tease him a bit by brushing her lips over his skin.

"Already starting with that?" He says, chuckling after he tenses a bit.

"Starting with what?" She smirks innocently against his neck.

"You know what."

"Oh I know..." She lightly nips at his earlobe.

"We may have to take this inside...you keep up with that."

"I never back down from a challenge." She smirks, slowly nipping down his neck.

"How well I know..."

She chuckles, starting to focus more on what she's doing. She starts to use her tongue the closer she gets to his shoulder and that's when he grips her waist more while a slight noise comes from him. He doesn't want to move her just yet and carry her inside, because he's waiting for the sun to set completely and it's taking forever. She makes her way back up his neck before stopping right by his ear.

"Had enough?" She whispers.

"Waiting for the sun...to go down...before bringing you inside."

"I can stop for now..."

"Only if you want to."

"If I don't?"

"I'll go crazy."

"Good to know." She grins before lightly kissing behind his ear. Slowly, she begins to go down his neck, making sure her lips linger in the same spot for a bit before moving them.

At this point he couldn't wait for the sun to set completely. Before she knows it, she's being picked up and they both are heading inside.

"Couldn't wait?" She giggles.

"Not anymore, no."

"Too bad." She lowly says against his neck. Since he decided to carry her in, she had her arms around his neck while she let her fingers lightly move across the nape of his neck.

He decides to carry her into the kitchen, setting her down on the counter.

"How about dinner?"

"Hmmm...I am kinda hungry."

"Want me to surprise you? Or do you want something specific?"

"Surprise me."

"Alright." He nods.

"Would you like me to help?"

"I would love for you to help."

"I shall help you then." She smiles. "but you have to let me down first." She chuckles.

"Oh...right." He says, letting her go and helping her down.

She gives him a quick kiss then starts to help him with getting the food ready. They get pans and anything else they may need to cook the food. She starts off with the sides since Mike wants to surprise her with the main meal.

"Smells good."

"Thank you. I just hope it comes out as good as it smells."

"I'm sure it will." She smiles.

"What you're making smells good too." He adds.

"I try." She laughs. "It's something simple I learned from my aunt."

"I can't wait to try it."

"As soon as it is done, you can have a sample."

"Sounds good."

She turns her attention to what she was cooking and since Mike had some time, he decided to just stand behind her with his arms around her waist and his chin on her shoulder while he watched her cook.

"Cuddly."

"That and...payback." He whispers.

"Uh oh..." She bites her lip.

"Mmhmm."

"You're just lucky I'm all done right now." She turns off the stove and moves the pot so it can cool a bit.

"Good." He grins.

He then turns her around to face him before moving and lifting her onto the counter again.

"Counter again?" She giggles.

"This way I know you can't go anywhere."

"Now why would I go anywhere?"

"You're a tease." He brushes his lips over hers.

"You love it though." She mumbles, trying to close the distance.

"I do."

"Just as much as you love doing it back."

"Exactly."

She whines a bit at not being able to kiss him so she moves her hands from his shoulder to his neck, pulling him closer to her. For now he leaves his hands on her thighs, just hovering his lips over hers.

"...Miiikkke..." She whines.

"Patience..."

"I have...none..."

"Oops."

She lets her fingers run lightly through is hair while she wraps one leg around his waist and letting the other run up and down his leg.

"The torture of waiting for my next move is the fun part for me though." He grins.

"Exactly...for you." She gets more eager and impatient.

"You get me back though."

"That I do." She grins slightly moving one hand to his neck and does what she did earlier.

He only makes her wait a few moments before finally pressing his lips against hers. She kisses back eagerly while pulling him closer to her. She wraps her other leg around his waist and keeps her one hand in his hair while letting the other one lightly run across the back of his neck. His hands then start to wander from where he originally had them, keeping the touches light. That of course makes her shiver while she starts to kiss him more roughly. This causes him to wrap his arm around her and pull her closer to him, kissing back just as rough. Her grip on his hair gets tighter since he lets his other hand lightly run over her leg. She makes a few soft noises and feels him smirk into the kiss as he does it more. He pulls away from her lips for air, but while they're both getting it, he still kisses her here and there. She tries to calm down a bit, but he is making it really hard with all his touching. Her hands fall to his shoulders while she tries to catch her breath.

"Killing you yet?" He chuckles.

"I'm past that point."

"My bad." He grins.

"You knew exactly what you were doing."

"I did."

"You're just lucky dinner is not done..."

"Very lucky."

"Which I think is done."

"Aww I'm gonna have to let you go to check."

"Or I could get down and come with you..."

"I like that idea better."

"I'm full of great ideas." She grins while he helps her down.

"As am I."

"I'm finding that out everyday too."

"Yes you are."

They manage to make it to the oven and since he did not want to let her go, she opened the oven to see that it was done. Mike reached over for an oven mitt and then handed it to her so she could take out the tray.

"How did you know I love fried eggplant?" She looks back at him after setting the tray on top of the stove.

"I had a hunch..."

"Shauna?"

"Yeah...what can I say, she told me about you and I wanted to know everything."

"Awww." She blushes. "She told me somethings about you that I did not know either."

"Like what?"

"What you were really like, some of your favorite things...stuff I would not have found anywhere else."

"Ohh."

"So far, she has been right."

"Well of course."

"I'll have to thank her later."

"Right. So what you made is all set now right?"

"Mhm." She nods.

"Sample?"

"Of course." She reaches over, grabbing the fork she used to get some of the potatoes for him to taste. It had a bit of sauteed onions mixed in as well.

"That is amazing." He says after he eats what she gave him.

"Why thank you." She smiles. "Been trying to get it just like my aunt made them and I think I finally have." She sets the fork back on the counter.

"I would say you did."

"I'm glad you like it."

"You should make it as often as you can."

"When ever there is a stove, I will try." She kisses the corner of his mouth.

"Yay."

"Goof." She shakes her head, laughing.

"Always."

"How about we eat before it gets cold?"

"Good idea."

He gives her a quick kiss before slowly letting her go. She grabs some plates and silverware while he grabs the tray of food. After setting the table, she gets the potatoes while he grabs them drinks.

"What would you like to drink?" He asks.

"Iced Tea please?"

"Of course."

While he is getting their drinks, she starts to set food on their plates so it is ready for when he comes back out. A few seconds later, he walks out with the drinks in hand, placing hers down in front of her. He then sits and they start to eat while talking occasionally. They take their time, just enjoying the relaxing time they are having. Once they're done, they start to clean everything off the table.

"How about dessert?" She asks as they place the last of the dishes in the sink.

"I've got that covered. I was thinking we get ready for bed first."

"Alright."

They both head into the bedroom to get ready for bed. She grabs what she'll be wearing and heads into the bathroom while he changes in the bedroom. The first thing she does is clean all the makeup off her face before changing. It does not take her that long to change since she decided to leave her hair curly. She grabs her other clothes before heading back into the room. After putting her clothes with her things, she turns to see Mike waiting for her, but he's shirtless and in shorts. She bites her lip trying her hardest not to stare, but she fails. Her eyes travel from his shorts all the way up his chest.

"Distracted?" He chuckles.

All she can do is nod at this point, unable to form words.

"My job is done then."

"Uh huh." She mumbles, slowly nodding.

"Shall we go have dessert now though?"

"I think we should..."

"After you..."

She goes to walk out of the room so he can follow behind her. As she walked by him, he slapped her on the butt, catching her off guard.

"Yooouuu..."

"What?" He grins innocently.

"You know what."

"Do I?"

"Sure...act all innocent now."

All he does is smirk, before following her out into the living room.

"So what did you have planned for dessert?" She asks as she sits on the couch.

"You'll see. How about you find a movie we can watch and I'll bring the dessert out here?"

"I can do that." She stands back up so she can go pick out a movie. She finds one right away and gets it all set up so they can watch it when he comes back out.

It doesn't take him too long, he just adds the finishing touches to the desserts before carrying them out to the living room, despite them being freezing cold.

"I would've helped you babe." She says once he comes out.

"I've got it, but thank you anyway."

"You're welcome."

"But this one is for you."

"Thank you. Looks really good." She takes the bowl from him.

"You're welcome. Made these up earlier today."

"Well I can't wait to try it."

"I know you're gonna love it."

"I have a feeling I'm going to." She says as she takes a bite. "Oh my...this is...amazing." She moans in delight at the taste of the ice cream and fudge.

"I knew it."

"How did you hide this from me for so long?"

"I have my ways."

"That's why you were so distracting today..."

"Yes."

"Well, I'm glad you waited until now to give this to me."

"Figured it'd be a good way to end the night."

"You figured right. This is amazing." She takes another bite.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome." She smiles as they continue to eat more.

"So what movie did you pick?"

"The Goonies."

"Ah, good movie."

"It is. Heard it's one of your favorites too."

"It is."

"Mine too. That's why I picked it." She grins.

"Well look at that...something we have in common."

"I'm sure we have more in common than that too."

"Oh we've got to have more in common. Otherwise we wouldn't be getting along so great."

"That is true. I'm sure we'll find out too."

"I'm sure."

"We can talk about that tomorrow. Unless you don't want to watch the movie."

"No no, we can watch the movie."

"Alright." She sets her empty bowl on the table before sitting back down to watch the movie.

"I mean why go through all the trouble of picking a movie and not watching it right?"

"Exactly." She laughs. "Even though it was not hard. I had this one in mind."

"True...but still." He chuckles.

"I know." She laughs, sitting at the far end of the couch to mess with him.

"Why are you sitting there?"

"Is it too far for you?"

"It is."

She moves a bit closer, but not too close. "Better?"

"Maybe a bit more."

"Better now?" She scoots just a bit more over.

"Maybe just a tiny bit more..."

"There." She laughs sitting on the cushion next to him. "Happy?"

"Very."

"How about we start the movie?" She chuckles, sitting back but leaning a bit away from him.

"That would be a good idea."

He reaches for the remote and starts the movie, getting it to the title page. Before he sits back, he reaches over and pulls her onto his lap, wrapping his arms around her waist.

"I thought I was close enough?" She giggles.

"I changed my mind...you weren't."

"Am I close enough now?"

"Yes you are."

"Good." She kisses him quick. "Now movie time." She snuggles into him, resting her head on his shoulder.

She hits play on the remote and the movie starts. Right from the start, they're laughing at what's going on. When it gets to certain parts, they mimic the characters while trying not to laugh too hard. She in particular tries not to laugh too hard, because Mike mimics the characters so well. They go back and forth with the mimicking for a bit before deciding to calm and just watch the movie. She relaxes into Mike while he starts to get a bit touchy.

"Movie." She whispers, shifting a bit on his lap.

"I know, I know."

"Save it for bed." She kisses his cheek before turning back to the movie. Since her arm was around his neck, she starts to absentmindedly run her fingers across his neck.

"You're killing me..."

"Sorry." She giggles. "I did not realize."

"Suuure."

"I didn't." She laughs innocently. "I'll stop." She rests her hand on his shoulder.

"I didn't say you had to."

"Only if you can focus on the movie." She slides her hand back again and runs her fingers lightly over his skin.

"I can try."

"You do that." She chuckles.

They turn their attention back to the movie while she still keeps moving her fingers along his neck. It is hard for him to focus but he manages to watch the rest of the movie. Once the movie is done, he reaches for the remote to shut everything off before leaning back to look at her.

"Yes?" She asks, after he does not say anything.

Before she knows it, she's being picked up and carried into the bedroom. She holds on tight since she was not expecting it.

"Really Mike?" She giggles as he makes it to the room.

"Yes really."

"It got to you that much?"

"Maybe."

"Maybe?" She does it one more time.

"Okay you did."

"I thought so." She hovers her fingers about his neck. He then gets the door open and walks over to the bed, laying her down.

"I'm thinking...maybe one more mark before we go to sleep." He smirks.

"Mike..." She gives him a look. "...as long as it is not as big as the other one."

"I promise."

"Alright...have your fun..." She gives in.

"Oh I will...all in good time." He smirks.

"Going to make me wait?"

"Possibly."

"Payback huh?"

"Mmhmm."

"Uh oh." She tries to move her fingers over his neck again only for him to take them and pin them to the bed, causing her to whine.

"Uh uh..." He smirks.

"No fair." She pouts.

"Payback remember?"

"I remember."

"Then you can't be able to do the things you do to me, if the payback is on you."

"You're right..."

"I'm always right."

"So you think." She grins.

"I don't think...I know."

"Cocky much?" She laughs.

"You know that I am."

"I do. One of you best qualities."

"Why thank you."

"Oh you." She shakes her head. "You do know you are killing me right?" She adds.

"Yes, I know." He smirks.

"Miiikkke." She whines a bit as she wiggles under him.

"Yes?"

"Can I have my hand back? Pwease?" She pouts.

"Let me think...not quite yet."

"Awwwww." She whines at not being able to touch him still.

"All in good time."

"You keep telling me that."

"Because I'll let you go...soon."

"That's to long."

"You'll live."

"I can try."

"As long as you do that."

"You make that hard though..."

"Do I? Oops."

"Yes you do." She tries to lean up to kiss him.

That's about the only thing he lets her do, and he kisses back eagerly. She kisses him back just as eagerly as he is while she tries to free her hands. He still doesn't let her, his fingers laced with hers as he presses her hands into the mattress. Her grip on his hands tighten as the kiss starts to get more rough. Amidst the kiss, he lets go of only one hand, in favor his his going to rest on her hip. Her hand goes right to his hair, gently tugging at it. He lets his fingers wander along her hip, making her shift under him. He stops making his fingers wander and holds her still so she's not moving around much from under him. She whines a bit into the kiss since the torture is killing her. He pulls away briefly for air before starting to move to her neck.

"Be prepared." He mumbles.

All she can do at this point is nod her head and grab his hair tighter. He starts at the base of her neck and makes sure to take his time moving up to the spot. Her breathing starts to get more heavy, the closer he gets to the spot. She squeezes his hand and grips his hair tightly when he gets inches from the spot. Just to torture her more, he hovers above the spot, his breath hitting it for now as he breathes. She arches her back into him as he whole body gets tense. The longer he hovers, the harder she bites down on her lip. He knows that it's getting to her, just by her reaction, so he continues to do that for a bit longer, torturing her more and more. Her grip on him gets even tight the more his breath moves along her neck. A small whine escapes her lips at the pure torture he is causing. He then kisses around the spot, grazing over it at times. Each time he grazes the spot, she takes a sharp breath thinking he is going to go after it. He stops doing that and before she knows it, his lips are attached to that spot. Her hand falls from his hair to his back so she's able to have a better grip on him. He keeps working on the spot, getting a moan from her, but he does not stop there. He keeps going despite hearing the moan come from her. He continues with keeping in mind to not make the mark so big. Once he feels he left a good enough one that is not to big, he pulls back to look at it with a smirk on his face before moving back to her lips. When he reaches her, she kisses back roughly, slowly moving her fingers across his back. This causes a noise to come from him, but it's muffled into the kiss. She just smiles to herself as she hears it. She keeps doing that, earning more noises from him until he takes her hand away and pins it to the bed again.

This makes her whine into the kiss, beacuse she doesn't want her hand pinned to the bed again, she wants to touch him.

"...no more..."

"...awwww..."

"...you had your fun.."

"...I was...not done..."

"...I'm not done either..."

"...evil..."

"..you love it..."

"...I do..."

"So what're you gonna do now hmm?" She adds.

"You'll have to wait and see." He smirks.

"How long do I have to wait?"

He just smirks before pressing his lips back to hers again. She starts to kiss back only to have him pull away.

"Tease."

"Again...you love it."

"Can't deny that."

"Of course not."

She starts to move her hands again, wanting them to be free. He holds them tight, not letting go just yet. She knows one way that will make him let go, so she starts to shift under him.

"Ohhh no you don't."

"Can I have my hands back then?"

"Will you stop moving?"

"Mhm." She nods.

"Promise?"

"Promise."

"Alright..." He says, letting your hands go.

"Finally." She sighs at being able to touch him again. She moves her hands up his arms, one going to his hair while the other rests on his back.

Then he presses his lips back to hers, not pulling away when she responds this time. He lets his hands wander all over, causing her to shiver. She arches her back into him again while tugging on his hair when his one hand reaches her thigh. A few noises escape her as she starts to move her fingers along his back again. After a bit, she feels him start to slow the kisses down, and she makes quiet noises in protest, because she doesn't want him to stop just yet. She keeps trying to kiss him more, but he keeps pulling away, keeping them short and light.

"...Miiike..."

"Hmmm?" He smirks.

"Not done yet..."

"No?"

"Nu uh." She shakes her head.

"Well then...show me all you've got before we get some rest."

She pulls him down closer, kissing him roughly not done just yet. Her fingers run though his hair also making him as close to me as he can get while her other hand moves down his back. He makes quiet noises himself like before, but he does respond by kissing back just as rough as she is. She keeps the kiss going a bit longer before pulling away and resting her forehead on his just trying to catch her breath.

"Done?" He chuckles.

"For now." She lets both hands fall to his shoulders, keeping her touches light.

"You have marks on both sides of your neck." He grins. "My bad."

"Mhm...suuurrrreee. You knew what you were doing."

"Proud of yourself?" She adds.

"Very."

"I can tell just by how you are looking at them."

"Of course."

"No more until those go away...that is if you let them."

"In order to give you more...I will."

"You might have to wait awhile for the one to go away."

"I can live with that."

"I'm sure you'll find other ways..."

"Of course I will."

"Just like I will." She smirks running her nails over the bottom of his neck.

"Like you have been."

"Mhm."

"Sleep now?"

"If we have to..."

"We can sleep in tomorrow morning..."

"I love the sound of that."

"I knew you would."

"Very much since I don't want to go to sleep right now."

"Not tired? You know I can help with that."

"I know you can and I have a feeling you're going to."

"You're feeling is right."

"Noooo." She whines as he rolls them over so she's laying on his chest.

"It's been a long day..."

"It has, but I do not want it to end."

"Neither do I."

"Why does it have to." She whines, burying her face in his chest.

"Because that's how days go...unfortunately."

"Curse them." She mutters.

"I know, I know."

"We have all day tomorrow too." He adds, starting to run his fingers down her back.

"True..." She tries to hide a yawn.

"Maybe you should sleep now."

"I don't think I have a choice."

"Not really."

"As long as you..." She yawns. "...are here, I'm fine." Her eyes start to close the more he runs his fingers down her back. She keeps opening her eyes trying to fight the urge to go to sleep.

"I'm not going anywhere, don't worry."

"Good." She says barely audible as she snuggles in as close to him as she can get.

Before she knows it, she's gotten more relaxed and had dozed off. Mike smiles down at her, pulling her closer to him while holding her tight. He kisses the top of her head while watching her for a bit. He keeps watching her until he goes to sleep himself.
