Chapter 42

Through a chuckle, AJ told his gasping wife, "Well, Mrs. Chegwidden, if I'd known it was this easy to get you to drop what you were wearing, I would have donned a bunny suit twenty years ago!"

Mac thought she had herself under control until she looked up from her bent over position and once again saw in him in that silly pink suit. She was off again, laughing so hard that tears were streaming down her cheeks. When she could finally put words together, she demanded, "Why in the world are you wearing a bunny costume? It's almost Christmas not Easter!"

"I'm hurt you don't remember…but then you are getting close to fifty and they say that the memory is the first thing to go…" At her glare, he grinned and went back to answering her question, "When we were first together I was teasing you about being tired and you made a comment about my inability to do anything more either. However, when you found out differently you…"

She interrupted him, "I made a comment about the Energizer Bunny."

"Yes, and when I was in town today they had this costume in the shop window. I couldn't resist being in my own 'special outfit' since you were going to give me the same treat. However, I think I was cheated since you had yours on for such a short time," he teased eyeing her naked form and the bow lying on the living room floor.

Straightening up, she struck a seductive pose before bending to pick up her bow. Her action was conducted almost in slow motion and geared to get the utmost response from him. She'd turned her back to him and then bent at the waist, with her feet shoulder width apart she was perfectly on display in this manner. Just to make sure he hadn't misunderstood her intent, she gave her six a deliberate wiggle. His groan told her that he had clearly gotten her message.

Slowly unbending she turned to face him holding the bow in front of her. Sarah smiled as she saw the evidence of how her actions thus far had been affecting him. Delivering her own version of the old saying in a sexy voice, she asked, "Is that a carrot in your pants, or are you horny for me Big Bunny?"

AJ's shout of laughter reminded them both of the humor that had always been a part of their love life. Their children had all learned that if mom and dad's bedroom door was closed, you'd better knock before entering, no matter what time of the day it was. AJ and Mac had stopped counting the number of times they'd been interrupted while making love during their first year of marriage.

Affection was something openly displayed in the Chegwidden household, both between mom and dad and towards the children. It wasn't uncommon to be walking through a room and become the victim of a 'hug attack'. Because of this, every one of their children felt special and very loved.

But for the present, there were no children at home, hence no one to interrupt them. AJ moved quickly across the room and belying his age, swept his sexy wife up into his arms to carry her into their bedroom. Tossing her onto the bed he laughed as he watched her gasp and bounce a few times before coming to a rest.
