Robert and Ethan got home pretty late. The house was quiet. Robert had seen Celia and Sasha as he was leaving, so he knew they made it home okay. Holly was fast asleep on the couch.
"She always likes to wait for me." Robert grinned as he walked over to her, he looked up at their son. "Go get some rest."
"Alright, dad. I love you and mum." Ethan replied before going to his room.
Robert placed kisses on Holly's face and she started to stir, her eyes lighting up as they met his. "Hello, handsome. Did you have a fun night?"
Robert nodded as he brushed her hair out of her face. "As fun as I can without you there."
Holly couldn't hide her grin. "You!"
"Grant actually brought up something that made me think." Robert told her, remembering the card game.
"Think about what?" Holly had no idea what was on his mind but was definitely curious.
"Do you remember the games we used to play?" Robert asked her with that wicked smile.
"Darling, we played a lot of games. Which ones are you talking about?" She asked him as she sat up.
Robert pulled out a deck of cards. "The ones that involved these."
Holly's eyes lit up as she flashed back.
The Townhouse in 1984
Robert and Holly had been playing a grueling game of strip poker, Robert literally was having the pant beat off of him.
"You know I think you are too good at this. I've only gotten your shirt and I'm sitting here in my boxers." Robert looked hard at his cards.
"You play your hand right and I'll let you choose what I lose next." Holly grinned, not even looking at her cards.
"I'm doing the best I can." Robert laid his cards down, showing four of a kind.
Holly looked at her cards and then frowned. "Well, you got me." She laid her cards down. "See you just needed a little initiative." Holly seductively spoke as he eyes danced with his.
"Come here." Robert put his hand out to guide her over to him.
Holly "accidentally" knocked the cards onto the floor, knowing Robert would look at her hand. "Oops." She said as she moved over to him.
Robert knew what she did and laughed shaking his head. "You know, you are good but I know what you did there." Robert unhooked her bra as he sat her on the table.
"I don't know what you are talking about." Holly played innocent as ran her hand down his chest.
"You know this isn't very fair, you know I get a look at you like this, and I can't think of anything else but taking you." Robert stood up, Holly's hand went to his boxers, pushing them down.
"Well the good thing is, I wanted that." She grinned as she kissed him deeply.
End of flashback
"You know you never did tell me what your hand was." Robert told her as he stood up, taking her hands in his.
Holly got a seductive grin, pressing her lips into his. "Instead I showed you what my hands could do." She whispered. "Let's go upstairs, break those cards in.." Holly led him up the stairs.
