Chapter 10: Like Old Times
Ada had a fairly dreamless sleep for the night and Ebony rested well too, nestled up against her owner and occasionally licking Ada's face while she was awake from her numerous cat naps.
The raven haired woman woke up slightly after dawn to see her husband slumbering on his stomach. Leon looked so peaceful and she continued to observe his handsome visage. The bruises were gradually fading to a light yellow and she was sure it would be unnoticeable by the weekend. At least he was here with her in bed and not in the hospital.
She leaned over and brushed her lips against his temple before sliding out of bed to use the bathroom.
The blonde must have woken up soon after she left as he was knocking on the bathroom door excitedly once she was done in the bathroom. Ada froze for a moment when she heard the good news.
He got all his memories back? That was great but… that would mean an awkward conversation would ensue. She dried her hands slowly on the towel and dreaded what to say to him.
Ada opened the door to see a smiling blonde. Her heart clenched at the sight. That grin always made her stomach flutter.
"Good morning," she said carefully. "I'm relieved that your amnesia is gone." And she left it at that as she gazed at him quietly.
Leon's smile faltered a bit at her lacklustre response and the silence that ensued. He nodded to Ada and cleared his throat.
"I remember everything, including what happened," He began, trying to think of the best way to explain the situation. There were a lot of details he had to keep under wraps.
"I was called on an emergency mission, a top-secret one. I couldn't risk being detected in any way, or reveal who I was if I got caught. No one could know where I was either, save for very few."
Ada crossed her arms and glared at him angrily.
"You had the time to gather your things and leave your belongings behind but you couldn't leave a simple note to tell me you're away?"
She pinched her nose and sighed.
"I've been in espionage before and I know the value of secrecy too, Kennedy. I don't have to know where you've gone, I just needed to know that you're off doing a job. An encrypted message like 'Gone hunting' would have sufficed. Was the DSO going to raid our home to ensure you didn't leave a letter for me?"
"I'm sorry," Leon said, bristling just a little. "I had to leave as soon as I could." Truthfully, he was kicking himself for not leaving Ada some kind of a clue. He was usually good at deciphering clues, but he rarely left them. Too bad his instincts did not tell him he should have put more thought into Ada's feelings.
The angry tones of their voices woke Cobalt up and the ginger cat yawned and stretched. He jumped down from the bed and trotted out to the corridor where he rubbed Ada's leg.
She took the opportunity to go down to the cat room to feed him. The feline followed after her eagerly as Leon looked away and sighed, crossing his arms as Ada left.
Right now he wished he still had amnesia, so he would not have to deal with this drama. He wished he could be a cat right now since Cobalt appeared to be blissfully unaware of their fight. It seemed they would be sleeping in separate beds tonight.
Downstairs, Ada poured the kibble into the cat's bowl and Cobalt ate his fill. She just stayed near, quietly stroking the cat's fur to kill some time. The ginger feline kept shrugging off her hand and Ada mentally chided herself. Right, she was not supposed to disturb a cat when it was at rest or eating.
With a sigh, Ada went to the kitchen and grabbed a bowl and the box of cereal. She was not in the mood to cook without burning down the house but she still needed some solitude. The raven haired woman also took a bunch of grapes from the fridge to balance out her meal.
Leon decided to stay in the bedroom for now. He was hungry for breakfast but needed to give Ada her space. The blonde held himself over with a glass of water from the bathroom faucet. He gently petted Ebony as he struggled to find a way to reconcile with his wife.
The little black cat woke up and chirped a greeting, nuzzling his hand with a loud purr before she stretched her body in a little arch. The feline yawned before curling its body against Ada's pillow to continue snoozing. Leon sighed once more as his stomach growled for the umpteen time.
His hunger was too great to wait much longer, so he decided to risk it.
Leon went downstairs to the kitchen, but as luck would have it Ada was already there. He cleared his throat to let her know he was there.
"Hey, just getting cereal," he said as he walked over to the pantry and got a bowl for himself.
A biting comment was on the tip of Ada's tongue. Leon did not need to tell her everything he was doing when he was right in front of her. Ada could only exhale loudly through her nose as she continued eating her breakfast.
Leon poured his milk and cereal into his bowl and began to eat at the counter, choosing not to sit with Ada at the dining table and avoiding eye contact. He wondered if she would divorce him over his mistake, and he would not blame her if she did.
Loud crunching broke the silence in the kitchen as the couple essentially ignored each other. If only they were on the field, Ada could have thrown a smoke grenade and hookshot away, avoiding conflict altogether until the next time they met.
But they were married now and she couldn't run away, even if she wanted to. They were adults committed to each other and like it or not, they operated as a unit now. She could not do whatever she pleased.
The blonde poured himself a glass of orange juice. As he did so, Cobalt came wandering into the kitchen. Though he had already eaten, the cat was tempted by the smell of cereal milk.
"No, Cobalt," Leon said softly as the cat rubbed his leg and looked up at him. He loved his cats and appreciated their cute behavior, but he was not in the mood at the moment.
Cobalt whined a bit when Leon refused to entertain his request for milk. The cat mewed for attention and stood up on its hind legs, pawing at the blonde's pants.
Ada could not help but be amused until the cat turned his attention to her. She was done with her grapes but her cereal bowl was still half-full.
She rubbed the ginger cat's fur with the tips of her toes, "You're a good boy, Cobalt, but you know milk isn't suitable for you. You're all grown up now."
Cobalt continued to chirp before curling up under one of the empty bar stools once he realised neither of his owners would grant him milk.
The blonde was tempted to let Cobalt have some milk just to spite Ada, but he thought better of it. Leon did not want Ada to get even angrier with him. Instead, he put the dishes away and went back to the bedroom, where Ebony was still fast asleep. The little black kitten would have been jealous if Cobalt got milk but she did not.
Ada finished up her cereal quietly and sighed when Leon left the kitchen. It seemed their cold war would last a little while longer. Walking to the sink, her feet padded the kitchen floor, feeling how sticky the tiles were. Since they were not going to talk for a while, she decided to busy herself with more chores.
Leon closed the door and stripped down to take a shower. He was not that dirty, and could likely have skipped one today, but he needed something to do to keep himself busy while he and Ada were avoiding each other.
The raven-haired woman began to vacuum up all the non-carpeted services and poor Cobalt was so spooked that he ran into the cat tree for refuge. She eschewed carpets, knowing how filthy they could get in a short period of time. Most of their house was free from them except in the bedrooms. It was a compromise she had to make with Leon when he said he didn't want to wake up on a cold winter's day to freezing floor tiles.
The thought of her husband made her heart clench just a bit before she unplugged the vacuum cleaner from the wall and began to mop up the floors. The scent of floor detergent permeated through the house and she was soon perspiring from the rather laborious task.
Satisfied that the house was spick and span, she returned to the guest bedroom for a nice long soak in the bath to pamper herself after a morning of hard work.
Just as Ada finished mopping up the floor, Leon was finished with his shower. He felt refreshed and clean, and towel-dried himself off before putting on a tank top, sweat pants, and a pair of slippers. Ebony was fast asleep by now and did not even notice him.
The blonde threw the towel into the laundry hamper, which was getting a little full, with both his and Ada's clothes. It seemed to Leon like a good time to do the laundry. He picked up the hamper and took it to the laundry room. On the way he could smell the floor cleaner, and realized Ada had been doing chores as well.
Leon sorted out the laundry and loaded it into the washer before adding in the detergent, setting the timer, and starting it up. Not wanting to be idle, Leon decided to head into his office. Might as well start up his post-mission report while he could still remember.
Ada turned the faucet in the guest bathroom to its maximum and stripped down as she waited for the tub to fill up. A pity her essential oils were in the master bedroom, she would have to make do with some liquid soap to have a simple bubble bath.
When the water reached its desired depth and temperature, she stepped in and luxuriated in the bath, cleaning away all the grime on her skin. It had been a while since she pampered herself with a spa treatment and the ex-spy briefly wondered if she should indulge in one, given the current situation.
If they continued to ignore each other, she could not stay in the house every day pretending that he did not exist.
Ada got lost in her thoughts as she contemplated her next course of action. She wasn't a person who sat idly on the sidelines. Decades of being in espionage taught her to plan out her next move carefully. However, her marriage with Leon wasn't a one-off assignment though, it was a long-term commitment.
Both of them were stubborn individuals when it came down to it, with neither side budging. She would have to think of another way.
Time went by fairly quickly and before she knew it, the bubbles were almost all gone and the water was no longer warm. In addition to that, her skin was getting a little wrinkled up. She reached down to unplug the tub and stood up to turn on the shower, washing away any residual suds lingering on her skin.
After drying herself, Ada slid on a simple dress. The weather looked fine outside and conducive for a walk. She headed to the master bedroom to deposit her soiled linen only to find that the laundry basket was empty. Leon must have started some chores too.
Wherever her husband was, she still needed her space. The ex-spy strapped on her watch, took her phone, and headed downstairs to leave the house. The air smelled refreshing and Ada inhaled deeply, enjoying the sweet scent of daisies from the neighbour's yard in the late morning.
Unbeknownst to her, grey clouds were looming in the distance as she strolled down the path towards a nearby park near their home.
At this time of day, she practically had the entire place to herself. Ada wandered over to a swing set and sat down, digging the heels of her sneakers into the sand to pivot herself back and forth.
Her phone vibrated in her hand and she cast a glimpse. It was from Hunnigan and Ada opened the message.
[txt] Good news, I managed to fast-track the policy to the review stage. All agents will be assigned different tiers of combat-ready status which will determine if they can be deployed to the field. They need to maintain the status through tests or they'll drop to the next tier.
Ada mumbled to herself, "If only this was implemented earlier…"
Still, she shouldn't look the gift horse in the mouth.
[txt] Thanks. Leon got all his memories back too.
Ingrid responded immediately.
[txt] That's great! Both of you must be celebrating.
Ada was tempted to ignore the message but she needed to vent.
[txt] If you feel that a cold war and taking a walk alone outside means celebrating, sure.
There was silence afterward and Ada set her phone to 'Do Not Disturb'. She slid her phone into her pocket before kicking her feet off the ground to let the swing propel her back and forth. She allowed the momentum to distract her, even if it was just for a short while…
Leon was so engrossed in his report that he failed to register his phone buzzing until it clattered against his cup of iced coffee. He stopped typing and saw Hunnigan's name flashing steadily on the screen.
With a quick swipe using his finger, he answered the call.
"Good morning, Hunnigan. I have some free time today and have started the report of my last mission. I know, I'm still on medical leave but I got my memories back so I figured-"
"I'm happy for you but that doesn't matter right now," Ingrid cut him off.
The blonde was taken aback by her snippiness. "Okay…? What's the issue?"
"Do you know where Ada is right now?"
That was an odd question. "Probably somewhere at home."
"She went out-" and before any more could be said, there was a loud clap of thunder. Ingrid must have heard it too as her voice took on a tone of urgency, "I suggest you find her."
Ada had stepped out? He did not hear the front door open. Then again, he was focused on his work. "Alright."
"And Leon?"
"Yeah?"
"Work can wait," there was a hidden meaning behind her words and it sounded borderline threatening.
"I understand. Thank you, Hunnigan."
"Good luck."
And the call ended there. Leon saved his report and put his computer to sleep before standing up. He scrolled through his contacts to locate his wife's name and dialed her number.
It went to voicemail.
Where is she?
He thought to himself as he went back upstairs to throw on a light jacket. It was then that he caught sight of his watch by the bedside table. That gave him an idea.
Immediately, he opened his phone and clicked the location app that was on top of the screen. There were two names to choose from and he selected Ada's. The map zoomed out slightly to show his wife's pin at a nearby park.
Leon rushed back downstairs and grabbed an umbrella hanging from the stand before heading out. He did look back to ensure the front door was locked before he did a full on sprint down the pathway as another rumble of thunder sounded.
Ada was so lost in her thoughts that she did not notice that it had started to rain. She had already resolved to talk things through with Leon when she felt a couple of raindrops fall on her head, lightly dampening her dark tresses.
It started off as a slight drizzle and Ada stood up, calculating how long it would take to reach home if she walked briskly. Just before she could turn around to head back, the sky flashed white and the rain rapidly grew into a moderate shower.
She would be soaked to the bone if she tried to book it home. Without an umbrella, the best course of action would be to wait out the storm. Her eyes scanned quickly through her surroundings and she spotted a little gazebo a few yards away.
Ada took a couple of strides forward before a shadow loomed over her. Dammit, she had failed to notice someone sneaking up on her thanks to the rain. She opened her palm and locked her fingers tightly together and quickly spun around in an attempt to deliver a palm strike.
Her hand stopped short of landing on her target once she saw her husband panting and holding an umbrella outstretched over her. His blue-grey eyes looked shocked that she almost hit him while his usually golden hair rapidly took on a shade of dark dirty blonde as it got saturated from the rain.
"Leon?" Ada gaped at him as she dropped her arm to the side.
"Let's go home, Ada," he replied.
Judging by the size of the umbrella, it could barely fit two of them and she did not want him to get drenched.
She grabbed his wrist, "You'll be soaked. Let's wait it out in that shelter."
Both of them ran for cover just as another rumble of thunder boomed. Leon set the umbrella on the floor as they tried to wring out water from their hair and clothes.
The cacophony from the rapid rainfall was too loud to have a proper conversation anyway. So they both stood around as they stared at the playground. Ada had her arms across her chest the whole time as she rubbed them unconsciously.
The blonde shrugged off his jacket and draped it over his wife's shoulders. She did not recoil from him which was a good sign and he left one hand on her shoulder, holding her in a one-armed embrace from the side.
It must have been a passing shower as the weather eased up and went back into a light drizzle.
"You didn't say you were going out," Leon murmured when the silence between them became prolonged and awkward.
Ada could have retorted with a snide remark but she held her tongue. After all, she had already made up her mind to make peace before the rain disrupted her plans.
"I needed to clear my head," she responded genially. "How did you find me, anyway?"
Leon raised an eyebrow at his wife and gently tapped the watch adorned on her wrist. "I remembered its functions after you harped at me for not wearing it."
Right. That was the whole reason for their disagreement.
"We might as well talk things out since we're here…" She went over to the bench to take a seat and her husband followed suit.
Leon spoke first, "I'm sure you heard about the new DSO policy about the different tiers of combat-ready status. Trainers won't be deployed so I won't be out on the field ever again."
Ada sighed, "So if there wasn't such a policy, you'd still drop everything and go?" Before he could reply, she looked him in the eye, "I'm hurt that you just left without telling me anything. It felt like you value your job more than me."
The blonde could see the pain in her gaze and his heart clenched. "You're right… I can never say no when a job is pushed to me. At least this policy is a fail-safe."
His wife responded with a frown and he ran his fingers through his damp hair, "I can't go on missions forever. I'll have to retire eventually."
"Leon…" she said his name quietly. "The problem is you don't know how to say no to your higher-ups. Even if the policy is in place, what will you do if they keep pushing and requesting that you undertake an assignment? You're always their go-to agent."
"Well, I suppose I'll just have to get an agreement in writing," The agent said after a moment and rubbed his thumb across his wedding ring. He was no longer a carefree bachelor with zero commitment. He now had a wife, a family at home waiting for him. His life had to change now.
Leon thought that being relegated to a desk job was enough but with the government, one could never know how they could twist their words and strong-arm an individual into doing their bidding.
"We'll write up a new contract, keeping me on as a trainer, but with no more field missions. Even if they don't accept that, I'll just continue to refuse to go."
Leon did wonder though how far the DSO would go to get him to work for them. They did not have anything they could use against him, did they? He doubted they would ever try anything underhanded against him…
"It also sounds like a good reason to terminate your service too. Any backup plans if that happens?" Ada asked again. She did not want him to leave the field because she pressured him to. She wanted him to leave on his own accord.
The raven-haired woman returned her attention to the weather and noticed the rain had almost stopped. "I don't want you to regret your decision, handsome," she said softly.
"If they decide to terminate me, well… maybe I'll train new recruits at the BSAA." Leon replied. He really did not have much of a backup plan if he was fired. "Or maybe I'll just go into early retirement. I do know I want to be home with you, that's all that matters."
"Or you can forgo biowarfare altogether," Ada replied, knowing that most of their adult lives were spent with biological weapons. It was time for them to be rewarded with a normal life.
"We can always venture into personal fitness or self-defense," she mused out loud. They had the skills and experience, she didn't see why they could not turn it into something fruitful.
"Though we do have enough to live comfortably, it's up to you," she added. Her words meant that she did forgive him for what happened but she would not tolerate a repeated mistake.
Leon could tell Ada was concerned for him. He already made her worry enough. The blonde moved closer to his wife, cupping her cheek. "It will all be okay. I promise." Leon gently pulled Ada closer to give her a kiss at the corner of her mouth.
"I'm sorry I hurt you, Ada. Please forgive me."
Ada's eyes widened slightly when he kissed the side of her mouth. She then softened her facial expression and pulled him closer, "You know you can kiss me on the lips, Leon."
"That's also an option…" Leon whispered as he nuzzled Ada's cheek. He understood what she meant. "I just didn't want to scare you off, in case you were still upset."
Now that Leon knew he had permission, he did not hesitate to turn Ada's face towards him and planted a much more forceful kiss on her lips. Leon wrapped his hand around the back of Ada's head, his fingers tangled through her silky black hair. The blonde moaned deeply into her mouth, relishing the sensation. Leon had missed this so badly.
The searing heat of Leon's lips sparked a heat within her and he felt wonderful. It had been weeks since they had any form of physical contact and this display of affection quenched the dry spell she had. He would always be a part of her and she molded against him perfectly like they were built for each other.
She snaked one hand up his broad, muscular chest, and the other threaded through his blonde locks. Ada opened her mouth and welcomed her husband as they kissed passionately, the grey weather outside temporarily forgotten.
His touch and scent were a soothing balm for her soul and she dove into the abyss, relishing everything she loved about Leon.
Leon groaned softly into Ada's mouth. His other hand went to her waist and pulled her in a little closer. There were no words, just emotion as they both let themselves love each other again. Leon felt a great wave of relief that they had both overcome the obstacles between their hearts.
The couple did not keep track of how long they had been making out, but they were finally interrupted by another rumble of thunder. Leon exhaled a small sigh through his nose before reluctantly breaking the kiss.
"I think we should head home before another downpour happens," he said matter-of-factly.
Ada's cheeks were slightly flushed as her lips were released from his with a small pop. It was a good thing Mother Nature made its presence known as she was considering having her way with him out in public. "Good idea."
They took separate hot showers upon reaching home, not wanting to catch a cold. Both knew if they saw each other in the nude, they would be doing something else that didn't involve getting clean.
Since they had already washed themselves off in the morning, they didn't have to take too long in the bathroom.
Ada did not bother putting any clothes on after drying her hair, opting for a simple bathrobe as she walked back to the master bedroom. The weather outside took a turn for the worst once more as it poured even heavier than before.
Both cats sought refuge under their bed and Ada was trying to coax them out.
Her husband stepped out of their ensuite bathroom with nothing but a towel around his waist and stared curiously at his wife who was kneeling on the floor and looking under the bed.
"I'm pretty sure there are no monsters under the bed, last I checked," Leon called out jokingly.
"I don't think we want any claws on our bare skin if we want to do an activity together…" Ada replied dryly as she managed to get little Ebony to come out.
She cuddled the feline against her chest and gave her some scratches on her head as the black feline purred.
Leon walked over to embrace his spouse as they lightly squished their pet in the middle. "Do you think Ebony and Cobalt are going to keep bothering us?"
"You know we could always tire them out…" she whispered as she handed the cat over to the blonde.
"We could," Leon said as he wagged his finger in front of Ebony, coaxing her to bat at it with her little paw. "Maybe we should bring them both to the cat room then and play with them both for a while. Come on."
The moment they left, Cobalt slinked out from under the bed and trotted behind them eagerly.
Leon set Ebony down on the floor and grabbed one of the cat toys, a feather on a string.
"Come on, you two love this." He dangled the feather in front of the cats, and they took turns swiping at it. Sometimes they ran off to hide in a corner before rushing out to pounce on the toy.
"Hmm, maybe once they're tired out enough, we could watch a movie, have dinner, then go to bed early tonight?" Leon's tone was suggestive, and he had to keep his smirk in check.
"Why watch a movie when we could do something together?" Ada smirked in return and she was tempted to bring out the catnip toys to speed up the process. Being an ex-spy taught her to be patient and wait for the right opportunity to reveal itself but there were certain times when idling by on the sidelines proved to be aggravating.
The cats leapt at the feather at the same moment before ending up in a heap together, play fighting with each other. Their pets wrestled, both attempting to gain the upper hand.
Was this the chance to quietly sneak out as the felines were distracted? Ada looked to her husband and subtly angled her head towards the door.
Leon nodded to his wife, and the two of them snuck away as their cats began to groom each other. They walked briskly to their bedroom, and Leon closed the door behind him. There was a brief pause before he pulled Ada in close and kissed her fiercely. The cats would not interrupt them this time.
"Mmm, it's about time," Leon whispered as he kissed Ada's jaw and nuzzled her ear, his hands sliding down her back and feeling her slender body. "So, how do you want to do this, since we haven't done it in a while? It should be special, right?"
His desire turned her on and she wrapped her arms around his back immediately, leaning into the kiss. A soft moan escaped her lips as Leon targeted the soft, sensitive flesh of her ear and neck.
"Mm, I'm sure we'll think of something on the fly. Though I have been feeling ignored for too long and I require lots of tender loving care…"
Ada's hands then snaked down the edge of his towel, lightly teasing the bulge and also feeling up his rear. She traced a finger over the lines of his abs and pulled his hips flush against hers, feeling his arousal. Her lips found his once more and there was a sense of urgency to get things done.
Leon felt that urgency as well, and he did not want to waste much more time. The blonde carefully tugged on the knot holding her bathrobe in place and could see the tops of her cleavage as it slowly became unraveled.
Until there was a loud clap of thunder followed by the lights going out. Leon was quiet for a moment before he let out a long sigh. "Power's out… We could keep going in the dark…"
Technically, sex in a stuffy house without power would be a tad uncomfortable but given how eager they were, it wouldn't matter either way.
Leon tried to keep going but was interrupted by the sound of Cobalt and Ebony meowing and pawing at their door, frightened. He exhaled a sigh, "Never mind."
Ada sighed too and touched her forehead against Leon's, "The universe is against us copulating today, huh?"
"Seems so," Leon said with a breathy voice as he nuzzled Ada.
She embraced her husband before pressing a quick kiss to his cheek and she fastened her robe closed. Opening the door, she was greeted by the sight of two anxious felines. They quickly rubbed their humans' legs for comfort.
Meanwhile, Leon decided to put on a robe as well. He would rather be more clothed if he was dealing with something dangerous like electricity. He patted Cobalt's head before grabbing a flashlight from beside the bed and hanging his towel back in the bathroom.
"Let's go to the circuit breaker and turn the power back on."
They both walked down to the laundry room where the circuit breaker was located, followed closely by the cats as Leon lit the way. It was not that dark, as some light was still coming through the windows, but it was still hard to see in the shadows.
"Let's see here," Leon opened the small door to the circuit breaker and shone the torch, finding the master switch. "And let there be light." He turned the switch, and power was restored to the house. "Glad it wasn't a total blackout, or else we'd have to eat all the ice cream in the freezer."
The cats darted away when the lights came back on, giving them some alone time once more. Ada gave her husband a coy glance. "Mm, I do like the sound of ice cream. We could each have a bowl at the counter and see where things take off from there…"
Ada gave him a small smile before walking to the kitchen to grab their dessert.
"Hmm, I like your idea," Leon replied and followed Ada. He got the ice cream scoop from a drawer along with the other tableware.
Their pets soon realized that the lights were harmless and followed their owners, curious to see what they were up to.
"What do you think, handsome? Have they been good enough to be rewarded with treats?"
"I think they could use some treats after all that thunder." Leon went to the cupboard and took out a little plastic bag of cat treats. Cobalt and Ebony instantly knew what it was, and went up to Leon to rub his legs and meow.
"I'm giving you treats, no need to beg." Leon took out a few little pieces in each hand and held them out for Cobalt and Ebony to eat out of his palm.
Ada and scooped generous servings of chocolate ice cream into two bowls for both of them. She continued to take a peek at her pets which were enjoying eating the treats out of Leon's hand with relish. A smile formed on her lips as she washed the scoops and dried her hands on a towel.
It only took a moment before Ebony and Cobalt finished eating their treats. Leon petted them both and they returned the gesture by nuzzling and purring against him.
The blonde joined his wife at the island counter and both took turns feeding each other, just like old times. The flames of desire just kept building between them and there was an itch that needed to be scratched.
"Why don't I take care of the dishes and I'll meet you upstairs?" Leon said sweetly as he took her bowl and brought it to the sink.
Ada got the hint and went back to their matrimonial bedroom. She rinsed out her mouth and gave her hair a quick comb before spritzing some perfume on her neck and wrists. After all, she wanted to look and smell presentable for the upcoming event.
Not letting a second go to waste, the blonde rinsed and scrubbed the dirty dishes, getting all the sticky syrup washed down the drain with soap and water. When they were sufficiently cleaned, he washed them off and placed them on a drying rack.
With all that done, Leon hastily went back up to the bedroom and closed the door behind him. "Dishes are done," he said as he went to the connected bathroom to clean up. He did not want to kiss Ada with ice cream breath, no matter how much they enjoyed the dessert.
Ada nodded to her husband and walked over to the bedroom door to lock it, ensuring that it was secure. Both cats had learned how to open doors that were left slightly ajar and she did not want that to happen later.
Satisfied that everything was in order, Ada adjusted the thermostat to keep the temperature nice and comfortable.
Once Leon was done making himself presentable, he began to loosen the knot on his bathrobe. He wanted to act cool and coy, but Ada always had a way of making him hot and bothered. The blonde shrugged off the top half of the robe, knowing how much his wife enjoyed seeing him bare-chested.
Walking up behind Ada, he wrapped his arms around her. He breathed in her perfume and sighed before kissing her neck. "Mmm, perfume? You're serious, aren't you?" The blond asked huskily as he nuzzled against his wife's silky, dark hair.
Ada was not surprised to find a pair of muscular arms encircling her. She could feel the heat of his bare chest through the fabric of her robe and she murmured happily as he showered affection on her neck and hair.
She turned around in his embrace and wrapped her arms around him. "Of course, I've been lonely for a week…" She whispered and drew her face closer to his, ending it with a deep, burning kiss.
Her hands began to trail down to not-so-innocent places on his body… cupping the obvious erection through his robe that was hanging precariously around his waist.
Leon moaned into the kiss, his actions mirroring Ada's as he too began to explore her body, sliding his hand between her robe and slipping a finger into her moist folds. His wife responded with a whining mewl and shudder and it made him want her, right now. Leon silently ran his other hand up the length of Ada's back, going higher and higher till it reached the nape of her neck, just to pull her as close to him as possible. He relished the taste of her mouth and the sweet scent around her.
"Mmm, Ada," Leon whispered when their kiss broke. "Let's take this somewhere more comfortable." With a deft movement, Leon lifted her up like a bride as she yelped in surprise. He carried her over to the bed, gently lowering her down upon the mattress before climbing on top of her. He continued to ravish his wife, growing more fervent with each passing second.
Arms and legs tangled with each other as the couple made out on the bed. Ada eventually managed to get on top of the blonde, pressing her body against him and feeling his eager hardness on her thigh. She reached down to undo the knot, revealing his bare flesh to her. Ada began to stroke him as she leaned down for another searing kiss.
Leon stiffened as she touched him, and then kissed Ada deeply as he began to grind into her palm. His own hands slipped past the cloth of her robe to feel her own smooth, bare skin. The blond cupped one of her soft sensitive breasts and lightly pinched a brown nipple. The other hand began to peel the fabric from Ada's body, exposing more of her to him.
"Oh, Leon…" Ada moaned her husband's name as he teased her nipple and felt a pleasurable tingle shooting down to her core. All that time away from Leon made her easily aroused and receptive to his touches.
As they kissed, Ada released the hold on her husband and she untied the knot on her own robe, aiding Leon in his quest to get naked. They parted briefly when she tossed the clothing to the other side of the room, leaving her in nothing but her birthday suit. Her hands quickly returned to Leon's robe to get it out of the way.
Leon allowed Ada to undress him, and his manhood stood tall before Ada. He flipped them over, and once more he leaned in to kiss Ada's lips. Then he moved his mouth down to her neck followed by her chest. He licked his wife's breast, tasting her nipple and flicking it with his tongue before taking the teat into his mouth. His other hand grasped and kneaded her other boob.
There was a look of surprise on Ada's visage followed by a grin when Leon abruptly flipped them over. She usually took the lead but when he became dominant, Ada knew she would be in for a wild ride. Her head tilted back with pleasure as her husband lavished attention on her sensitive nipple.
One hand threaded his blonde hair while the other rested on the back of his hand that was currently on her breast. She whispered words of encouragement as he continued to pleasure her with his mouth. All the attention was making her positively soaked.
"I'm going to treat you like a queen…" Leon whispered before he switched sides and pleasured Ada's other breast. "You deserve it, for all you've done."
Raising a slight eyebrow when he said he would be pampering her, she smiled at him. "I look forward to it. But first, shouldn't you get comfortable?" She angled her head to his manhood that was rubbing on her thigh.
"I'll get to that soon," Leon replied before giving her breast one last hard suckle, lightly pinching Ada's nipple with his teeth, but not quite biting down. He slowly pulled away and sat up, re-adjusting himself further down her body.
It took all the willpower within Ada to stop herself from pulling on Leon's hair when he nipped at the sensitive nerve endings of her dark nipple. Instead, Ada just let out a soft curse as a jolt of pleasure shot down her spine.
He peppered kisses around her belly button, before going down until he was face to face with her crotch. Leon continued to tease her by kissing her thighs, going nowhere near her erogenous zone.
Her husband was really committed to providing her with the most intense foreplay session ever.
"Maybe you should get amnesia more often if this is how I'll be rewarded," she said as she tried to string a coherent thought.
"More amnesia?" Leon said with a cocked eyebrow as he was done leaving a love bite on her skin. "Well, so long as I don't forget you, or forget how to do this." At that last word, Leon dove his face between his wife's legs and lapped at her womanhood. He moaned as he felt Ada's warm thighs surround his head, and his tongue quickly found Ada's clitoris.
"Fuck!" Ada swore out loud as Leon went straight for her clit and she bunched up the bedsheets under her hand, holding on for dear life as her husband played her like a well-lubricated instrument. She loudly vocalized her pleasure with each lick and it wouldn't take long for her to descend down the abyss of ecstasy.
The blonde felt the urge to forego the foreplay and mate like animals with his wife, but he made a promise to Ada to treat her like a queen. Leon's tongue rubbed circles around her clit, grazing his teeth against it on occasion. He also made sure to slip through her hot folds, tasting every bit of his wife's nectar.
Her hips impatiently moved against his face, wanting more of him. She was hungry for more and needed to be satisfied. The way his tongue darted within her made her curse again and she felt herself grow insanely wet and aroused. Ada opened her legs a little wider to help Leon gain more access.
Ada's swearing only encouraged Leon to go further. He held the backs of Ada's thigh and pushed his tongue in deeper, nipping at her labia or her clit each time he pulled out for air. He would not stop until his wife had reached a climax, or until she told him to stop.
Leon moaned again as he ran his tongue all over Ada's womanhood. She was incredibly moist and relaxed now, like putty in his hands. As much as it seemed like he was dominating her with his mouth, Leon was still the one serving Ada.
Ada continued to melt under his touch as he rapidly brought her to the edge of her orgasm. She whimpered his name over and over as he swiped at her sensitive bits with his talented tongue.
With one last lick and suck, the pressure in her belly exploded, filling her body with a tingling sensation of pleasure. She trembled slightly from the aftershocks and she panted to catch her breath.
Her husband was pulling out all stops today and she was appreciative of his efforts. "Thank you, Leon…" She whispered and reached down to stroke his blonde hair.
Leon felt Ada tremble and shudder as she finally hit her peak. He slowly pulled his face away, then kissed and nuzzled at her well-toned thigh.
"You're welcome, dear," The blonde said, appreciating his wife's affection. He rubbed the inside of her thigh with his cheek, feeling how hot she had become.
Leon pushed himself up and crawled up the bed until he was face to face with Ada.
"Do you still have some energy left, Ada?" Leon whispered as he then began to kiss her neck. "There's still more."
Ada's face was still flushed with post-orgasmic bliss and the way he kissed her neck made her even more hot and bothered. Leon just knew how to push all the right buttons to make her satisfied in bed.
"For you, I'll always be energetic. I'm eager for sex now," she whispered as she wrapped her arms around him, ready for intercourse. Hands went down to his chin to gently tilt his head up to face her and she leaned in for another kiss. She could taste herself on his lips and she didn't mind it one bit.
Leon sighed happily into the kiss as he reached down to fondle Ada. She was definitely ready, and so was he, but he wanted to give his wife the full treatment, and there was one more dish to serve before the main event.
The blonde slipped two digits inside her, feeling every hot fold twitch around his fingers. He pumped them in and out as they continued to make out, rubbing her clitoris with his thumb when he could.
Ada whined a little when he slipped in something else other than his manhood but she kissed him fiercely when he moved his fingers expertly around her. Since she had just orgasmed a few moments ago, she was still super sensitive and Leon was bringing her to the edge again.
She broke the kiss and commanded, "Curl your fingers upwards…"
Leon nodded to Ada and did as she asked. He curled his fingers and pressed them up against his wife's pleasure center. He sucked on her lower lip as he massaged his wife's G-spot, wondering how soon she might reach her peak again.
His manhood was pressed up against Ada's thigh, and Leon unconsciously began to rub up against her smooth, creamy skin. He could not wait much longer to properly make love to her.
A few more elated sighs escaped Ada's lips as he caressed her G-spot repeatedly. She responded to his kiss by reaching down to stroke the hard length of his manhood, returning the kindness he was bestowing upon her at this moment. All good deeds in bed were always reciprocated. Her thumb lightly massaged the ridge and tip of his throbbing penis.
It didn't take long for her to feel the familiar tingling sensation brewing in her lower belly again. As he kept pushing the small ridged flesh, she shivered once more, feeling a sense of sheer relief flooding her body.
Leon smiled as he felt Ada shiver, then kissed her softly on the lips. She responded exactly as he hoped she would, and he was loving the attention she was showing his manhood.
"You are certainly giving me the full treatment, aren't you?" She said after a moment of catching her breath.
"Of course I am," Leon said to his wife as he pulled his fingers out. "You deserve it." He licked the moisture off of his two digits, then took hold of his cock and positioned himself at Ada's entrance.
"It's time for the main course." He pushed himself inside his wife, carefully but firmly. Leon let out a low groan of pleasure. How he had missed being joined with his life mate, feeling her hot, wet walls contract around his length. Leon sighed and nuzzled her neck, loving the feeling he had been aching for so long.
Ada moaned as Leon slid into her effortlessly. She was so wet and aroused that all the sensations were heightened. The raven-haired woman threw one leg over the blonde's hip as they fornicated. It had been too long since they were joined like this so intimately.
She touched foreheads against her husband's and caressed the muscles on his arms and back. Her hips rocked against him as his manhood glided in and out.
Leon sighed happily as he and Ada made love. He kissed Ada's lips and gradually sped up the pace, moving faster and a little rougher with every thrust. Their bed began to shake just a bit.
Along the way, Ada had wrapped her other leg around his ass, creating a slightly tighter sensation. He further increased his speed, and his body began to sweat, his lungs began to pant as he pushed himself.
Ada was loving every moment of their lovemaking and she reflexively squeezed him, knowing how much her husband enjoyed that feeling of being milked. Her legs remained wound around his butt to keep him close, not wanting him to pull out too far.
The sounds of their ragged breathing were the only noise in the room as she continued to undulate her pelvis in sync with him in their hot mating dance. Occasionally she peppered little kisses on his neck and shoulder as encouragement. When Leon hit a sweet spot within her though, Ada struggled to whisper his name. The sweet passion and pleasure that filled her senses was almost blinding.
"Ah, Ada…" Leon rasped his wife's name. His heart was pounding, and he reached the point where he could no longer stifle his moans of ecstasy. Each thrust elicited a wave of excitement from deep within him and pushed him closer to the edge.
The blonde began to sink in deeper, his body acting on instinct, yearning to release the pent-up love and fill Ada with it. Leon grunted, burying his face against her neck as he came closer and closer to the brink.
Ada's head rolled back from the sheer delight of each well-placed thrust, her murmurs of pleasure mixed with Leon's groans, creating a little harmony of lovemaking. Ada could feel him reaching his peak and she too, would also join him in a few moments. But, she wanted to delay the grand finale for just a bit. After all, it had been too long since they were acquainted like this.
She gently pushed against her husband's shoulder, "S-slow down, handsome. I want this to last a little longer."
Her hazel eyes gazed up at his blue ones as she pleaded with him silently before leaning up to press a soft kiss on his lips.
Leon gazed back at Ada, nodding and murmuring in acknowledgment before returning the kiss she gave him. He slowed down, making unhurried, more deliberate pushes as he tried his best to hold out a while longer. His body was beginning to shake and shudder, his breath ragged from being so close, but he would do it for his wife.
"I love you," Leon whispered as he began kissing Ada's lips, then cheeks, then ear, distracting himself a bit and hoping the extra little touches of intimacy would help Ada have an even richer climax.
Ada smiled back, "I love you too." She relished the leisurely movements of the blonde's hips against hers and loved the feeling of Leon's rigid length slowly pulling out and plunging into her repeatedly. Plus, all of his small affectionate gestures really made her enjoy their time together.
She could see that it took him an immense effort to control his lust and she would reward him later but for now, the raven-haired woman just wanted to copulate with him for a little while longer.
Ada reached up to lace her fingers with his and they engaged in another sensual kiss as they moved in tandem with each other.
Leon began to calm down as they took things slow. His breathing became more even as they kissed, and his body ceased to shudder so much. Leon still thrust into Ada on instinct, but no longer so desperately. He could enjoy the ride as well.
Still, Leon was very close to his peak, and every move was still one more inch closer. He let out long, low howls as waves of pleasure ran repeatedly down his spine and through his muscles.
Ada squeezed Leon tightly with her thighs as he went through the motions of gliding in and out of her. Their lovemaking was tender and sweet, unlike the usual times when they went in rough and passionate.
Both didn't know how long they rutted against each other but their passion quickly swelled once more and Ada became more needy. A fire ignited in the depths of her abdomen and Leon was gradually fanning the flames.
"Harder," she said hoarsely, being so close to her peak, giving her husband the reins to go wild.
Leon did as his wife asked, and began to ram harder. His body was running hot, and his heart was pumping again as he reached the boiling point.
"Ada, I can't hold out…" Leon grit his teeth and grunted as he slammed his body against Ada's. He wrapped his arms tightly around her head and shoulders, hugging her close as he finally erupted, drenching Ada's womanhood with his white-hot essence.
He took a long shaky breath as he pulled out, then pushed back into Ada as another burst of semen shot out from his manhood. He buried his face against Ada's neck as he repeated this, until he calmed down and let himself relax, feeling a great wave of relief wash over him.
Leon's pace brought Ada to the edge quickly and she passionately cried out his name when her walls finally clenched and trembled around him.
Hips continued to move fervently against each other as they rode out their mind-blowing orgasms. They spent the next moments of post-coital bliss by cuddling on the bed and trading little kisses.
"That was spectacular," Ada said as she lazily trailed a finger along Leon's skin. Every fornication with him always left her feeling whole and fulfilled.
Leon breathed hard and heavily as his climax finally came to an end. He could only respond to Ada with a nod and a murmur, his mind having gone numb from the sheer pleasure.
The blonde let out a long sigh of satisfaction as his senses gradually returned to him. "That was… wow." He said as he stroked Ada's hair and then massaged her soft breast. "It's always good, but that one was intense. That's what happens when we don't do it for over a week." Leon carefully sat up and pulled his wife with him, giving her one more loving kiss.
"Thank you, Ada. You're amazing."
The couple basked in the afterglow of their lovemaking and cuddled up, enjoying each other's presence. Ada cupped Leon's cheek and returned the kiss.
Her fingers gently stroked the blonde's face as he thanked her, "You're welcome, handsome. I can't take all the credit though, you had a part to play as well."
She then winked at her husband, "And I'm feeling a little sweaty after all that."
Leon smiled and nuzzled against Ada's cheek. "We should get a shower then," He said to her. "Or else we're both going to stink. And after that, maybe we'll have a round two…" Leon whispered the last part and nipped at Ada's ear. He stood and picked Ada up with him to carry her to the shower, where they could wash up.
Author's Note: They're reunited at last! ;)
I was swamped with work in for Nov & Dec last year and didn't have much energy to write. Hope the wait was worth it for you, my dear readers.
