Think of this chapter as a tasty appetizer for the big meal that is coming in the next chapter. I plan updating quickly.
I own none of this
"Shut you ass!" Raj exclaims as Leonard shuts the door and the guys move as a group across the hall to Penny's apartment and Leonard bangs on the door. Penny answers it and stares at the group of guys standing in front of her all still dressed in their paintball gear.
"Oh no are being invaded!" Penny exclaims throwing her hands to her chest in mock horror.
"HaHa..can we come in." Leonard asks.
"Sure, come on in." Penny says moving aside and the guys all file in. "Why can't you go to your place, are Sheldon and Amy being really loud?"
"You could say that.."Leonard says evasively.
"Or you could that they are really claiming Sheldon's spot as only his now, you wont catch me ever trying to sit there any more." Howard says puffing out is cheeks.
"Are you saying that they were.." Bernadette begins.
"Doing the nasty, yes! The creepiest part was Sheldon did not even care that we walked in on them." Raj says impressed.
"It does not surprise me that they were doing it, when we left them Sheldon was eying Amy like a he was a fat kid on a diet and she was a happy meal." Penny says.
"I am sure that will be the first and only time that Sheldon is refereed to as a 'fat kid'. I do agree though it was weird, Amy looked horrified but he was as calm as if we had just walked in on them playing counterfactuals." Leonard says going to the kitchen and swigging a gulp of wine straight from the bottle. "Got to get that mental image out of my head." He says by way of explanation taking another swig.
"And zero fucks were given that day…" Howard says shaking his head and raking his hands through his hair."Let's change the subject what are you ladies doing."
"Oh just some light reading." Penny says giving Bernadette a look but Bernadette does not take the hint.
"Penny is reading the story that she wrote about Leonard to me." Bernadette says.
"The story that Leonard has not shut up about all week , but will not tell us what it is about is here?" Howard says with glee.
"We are not reading it! It is private." Leonard tells them.
"Oh come on! If we had to hear about Amelia and Cooper and his turgid point of pride joining with her delicate flower. Then we need to hear what Penelope and Leon are up too!" Bernadette tells him.
"Penelope and Leon? We are so reading this." Raj says sitting down.
"We are so not, tell them Penny! "Leonard whines
"Actually, I don't mind I am kind of proud of it. It is like the first thing I have ever written that people want to read." Penny tells him.
"Fine, just read one of the not as naughty passages."
"Screw that! Read the naughtiest one you have." Howard says.
"Really are you sure you can handle it?" Penny asks slyly.
"That was probably one of the most embarrassing things that has ever happened to me." Amy says miserably as she climbs off Sheldon and wraps the afghan on the back of the couch around herself.
"Why?" Sheldon asks curiously putting a pillow on his lap.
"I don't know maybe because all of the guys just saw me naked and riding you like a hobby horse." Amy says incredulously as she gathers her clothes.
"From the angle of the door to the couch it is unlikely they observed any of your body. More than likely they just saw your head and shoulders, your nudity was strictly implied. Also they came in after you were done "riding me like a hobby horse" for all they knew we could have just been cuddling." Sheldon says rolling his eyes and making air quotes.
"I don't understand why you aren't bothered." Amy asks, tossing him his coveralls which he catches and puts beside him.
"Why should I be? It is not a secret that we engage in sexual intercourse."
"It is one thing to have them know about it, having them witness it first hand is completely different."
"They saw nothing of the act itself, they just barged in on the I believe the term is "afterglow". Honestly Amy, I am not bothered by it at all in fact I feel proud."
"Proud?"
"Yes, how long have they teased me about being a virgin, about being sexless, about not having genitals? Their uppance has come, I find it quite amusing that my sex life makes them so uncomfortable."
"I guess you are right, they used to think our relationship was a joke well who is laughing now." Amy says straightening up, he defiantly has a point.
"Of course I am right, how often am I wrong?" He says getting up still holding the striped pillow to his crotch for modesty and it strikes Amy as very amusing and she starts to laugh. "May I ask you just what you find so tremendously amusing." Sheldon asks offended.
"Your sudden need for modesty when I have seen everything that you have to offer already." Amy giggles and he looks at her with challenge on his face and drops the pillow. It is the first time she has seen him completely naked without being aroused, and it is no less alluring. His length is still impressive the only difference she can tell is that it rests against his leg instead of pointing upwards. Amy doubts she will ever tire of looking at his body, she finds every inch of him attractive. All ready her hands itch to touch him, to trace the muscles on his shoulders, to run down his patch of chest hair and down his happy trail. Amy has to bit her lip less another "hoo" escapes and he accuses her of becoming a sex addict.
"I could say the same thing about you." He says pointing to the afghan wrapped around her, now it is Amy's turn to be bold. She wants Sheldon to drink her in the was she had with him so she lets the blanket fall of her shoulders and on to the ground. Sheldon does not disappoint and he gulps loudly as she stands in front of him unabashed. "You know what,I never did get that shower I was after when I entered the apartment and was way laid, by you and your friends."
"Okay, well go get cleaned up." Amy tells him.
"I got you dirty too, don't you want to wash up as well." He asks almost shyly.
" Are you asking me to take a shower with you." Amy asks
"Do you want to take a shower with me?" he asks and Amy nods her head yes, without saying another word he takes her by the hand and leads her to the bathroom . He starts fiddling with the faucets and turns the shower head on. "I tend to like my showers on the hot side, you?" he asks as he steps inside the shower.
"Same, I like it almost scalding, it awakens my senses, makes me think better." Amy tells him as she steps inside.
"Yet another instance where we think exactly alike." Amy smiles, happy to hear him admit their similarities and turns around so she is facing opposite of him her back against his front. Sheldon grabs the body wash off the side and squeezes some onto his hands the hesitates. " I don't know if I should allow you to use this."
"Oh don't tell me you suddenly have an issue sharing your body wash, you used it when we took the bath." Amy says annoyed, yet placated momentarily as he runs his hands down her stomach rubbing the soap in.
"Yes and you smelled weird afterwards, it took awhile for me to get used to your scent." Sheldon tells her his hands making lazy circles over her body.
"Gee thanks, for telling me I smell weird I smell weird." Amy says offended moving to get away from him but he holds onto her stomach to keep her close.
"God, woman you are the only person on the planet capable of leaving me tongue tied! No I meant that I love your scent…your usual scent, I find it very …sexy…" hearing Sheldon describe anything about her as sexy does funny things to her stomach. " I know if you have been somewhere because your heavenly sent lingers in the air. When went away on my trip I think that is what I missed the most,when I saw you again it was all I could do to refrain from picking you up and inhaling your scent like an ammonia inhalant." He admits.
"But you did do that, didn't you..." Amy says turning around to face him.
"Shotgun." He says giving her a half smile that melts her heart. Amy grabs the soap from him and squirts some on her hands and starts to wash his chest then works his ways to his arms paying extra attention to each bicep relishing the way the muscle feels beneath her fingers.
"It's love and sunshine." Amy says and he looks down at her curiously
"I know you are in a good mood but that is a pretty soppy sentiment." Sheldon tells closing his eyes in pleasure as her as her hands glide down his stomach.
"No, what I smell like the, body wash I use is called love and sunshine, its from bath and body works." She tells him pulling him gently down by his shoulders so she can wash his hair.
"That explains what I could not find it, I must have smelled every soap and shampoo at Walgreens trying to locate your scent and could not match it" his hands are working on her back now and they feel like magic as the massage her shoulders gently.
"Why were you doing that?" she murmurs as his hands move lower, kneading her lower back barely grazing her bottom.
"Well I figured, if you were going to be spending more nights over here then you would want your own toiletries." He tells her flipping her around so she is now the one under the water and begins to wash her hair. Amy moans with pleasure as his fingers work through her long tresses..
"You want me to spend more nights over here?" Amy asks him looking up into his eyes.
"The more I think about it the more I want you to spend all of your nights over here." Sheldon tells her then adds "Maybe not move in together right away, but want us to try spending more nights together. Last week was almost unbearable, I thought was going crazy, missing you when I had just seen you only hours ago. I fear you are making me lose my mental faculties,my ability to rationalize." Sheldon looks so vulnerable it cuts right to her heart and she cuts off the water, he looks at her perplexed.
"I think we are clean enough come on,lets dry off and get dressed." For some reason she feels it is important to inject some levity into the situation. Her first reaction was to grab him around the middle and hug him until he can not breathe anymore. But she feels paying it cool is essential lest he freak out and run away from her again. This time it would be so much harder, she might not ever recover. So she jumps out of the shower and grabs a towel wrapping it around her middle and heads out of the door. Sheldon is hot on her heels gabbing a towel and wrapping it around his waist following her out the door.
"Now listen little lady I was not done with you yet!" he calls chasing her into the hallway grabbing her by her middle and giving her butt a large smack. Causing Amy to erupt in a fit of giggles, that's when they hear a loud sound of a throat clearing and look into the living room to see the entire gang assembled and looking at them. Amy squeaks in terror runs to her discarded pile of clothes grabs them up and the runs back to Sheldon's room.
"I will have you know that that shower was disappointingly PG-13 rated so you can all get your minds out of the gutter." He declares to the room before turning on his heel and joining Amy in his bedroom.
"I don't know that looked pretty R-rated to me." Howard laughs
