Taking a break.

[light_in_sound]

It is a difficult thing for a mother to leave her newborn children. Alison doesn't think of it as "leaving", really. It's more that she's handed them over to two people who would have snatched them away sooner or later, anyway. Somehow, she got even less argument than she thought she would when she asked the twins' live-in grandparents to watch

Longshot had heard the steps coming up behind him. His wife was not trained to be stealthy, and he had been trained to listen better. He still didn't expect his vision to disappear though. one second, he had his pygmy marmoset on the ropes, the next he couldn't even see the ropes.

Maponos squeaked a reply before Longshot got past the confusion of why his wife was asking him to guess. He knew who she was! He hadn't forgot.

"Uhm, the sexiest Mommy anywhere?"

[light_in_sound]

"Well... you're partially right." She grinned and moved her hand. Then she wrapped her arms around his shoulders and leaned against him from behind. No belly in the way! Yay! "It's the sexiest Mommy who wants to spend some time with the world's sexiest Daddy."

She hugged him tight for a minute. Then she kissed his shoulder. "Happen to know a guy who fits that description and wants to spend some time with me?"

[sonofarize]

"Hmm." He hummed thoughtfully as he let Maponos go. The pygmy marmoset scampered up his arm to pounce and hold onto Alison's ear. Ha ha! Hangies!

"I think Maponos is guessing it's him. But how about me?"

[light_in_sound]

Alison giggled and caught Maponos gently. She snuggled the little marmoset for a moment and then put him carefully down on top of his cage.

"Well, he is adorable..." She stepped around and slipped her arms around his neck. "But, I like my men taller, blonder, and Longshot-er."

She leaned up and kissed him. Then she gave him a teasing smile and a wink. "So, yeah... you'll do."

[sonofarize]

"It be good vittles," he rumbled as his batter-dipped shrimp went for a small splashdown. Then it was munched! Oh, the humanity!

"Mm mm mrs?" He didn't open his mouth to ask, so it was up to Alison to guess the question. Or else suffer the perils of see-food!

[light_in_sound]

Alison laughed and shook her head. Well, that explained a lot. Given the context and inquisitive inflection, she guessed what he was asking.

"Mine's tasty, too. Although, it seems like yours are leading more adventurous lives." Short, but adventurous.

[sonofarize]

"Arr," he managed around a mouthful of food without showing it off. The rest of his meal was polished off rather quickly. He leaned back and patted his belly. It sounded full for the moment.

"Think they be havin' tempura-fried ice cream?" He could always make room.

[light_in_sound]

"Mmmm, I dunno." Alison finished off the last few bites of her meal. "We should ask when the waiter comes back. That sounds interesting."

She sipped her wine and stretched her foot out under the table to rest her ankle against his. Good food and the best company possible. Definitely a date to remember. She gave him a smile. "Feel better, cutie?"

[light_in_sound]

"Yes, perhaps I used the wrong word in your case." She laughed. "I'll start slow. You... well... have fun." She grinned and winked at him.

It had been ages since she'd been ice skating, so she wasn't about to race out onto the ice. Once she got her center of gravity back where it needed to be, she'd catch up to him.

She stood up and made her way over to the ice. Once out on the rink, she started out a little wobbly but got smoother as she moved.

[sonofarize]

He watched Alison take to the ice first. She seemed a bit more experienced than him. So, he decided to try it out. Of course, walking to the rink in his skates was an adventure and a half. Longshot glanced over to see how Alison was doing. Better.

Okay! He could do this!

The Mojoworlder stepped out onto the ice. He made it all of a foot before he ended up on his butt.

Okay. Maybe he needed a bit more patience than gusto...

[light_in_sound]

Alison turned around carefully and skated back over to where Longshot had fallen. She set her feet carefully to brace as she reached down to help him up.

"You okay, cutie? All parts unbruised?"

[sonofarize]

He pouted. "I broke my butt..."

The ice was cold and hard. His butt was numb. It could be true. At least he could go on. Alison's butt was just fine.

Longshot got to his feet and did an experimental butt wiggle. And just about fell over again. He guessed his sense of balance wasn't as good as advertised. "How do you do it?"

[light_in_sound]

Alison leaned in close and held tightly to him. Kisses were the best thank you's. She didn't care if they drew stares for making out on a public bench. Nothing was getting in the way of her kissing her husband.

And if he was going to use his tongue, he would have to battle hers! Ha!

[sonofarize]

Oooh! A battle! He got all tactical with his tongue as his hands slid back down to her waist. He put everything he had into that kiss. Just so it wouldn't go to his groin.

When he finally pulled back, he didn't go far. "Wanna go home, buttercup?"

[light_in_sound]

"Mmmm. Go home with my hubby? Yes, I think that sounds like a wonderful idea." She smiled and rubbed the end of her nose against his. The best thing about going on dates with Longshot was that she got to go home to him at night, too.

"Love you, cutie. Thank you for going out with me. I had a good time."

[sonofarize]

"Good. Because I don't know where I'd go if I couldn't go home with you." He kissed her again before moving his arms away so she could get up. Normally, when they went home during the date, it wasn't over. But then, they didn't have babies prior to this. He mentally marked down that change, too.

"I love you, too, Ali. I'd go out with you anytime."

[sonofarize]

Longshot slowly pushed himself to his knees. Man, had Alison made him relaxed. He needed to stretch a little to get himself properly motivated. Or look at his mostly naked wife waiting beside him.

He slid over to settle on her thighs. She had done it to him, so he wanted the experience, too. He wiggled his fingers a bit. And then he noticed that there was no clasp to her bra back here. Dammit! Thwarted!

Well, he could figure out some way. In the meantime, he would start at the small of her back. His eyes were on her bra as he considered the best way to remove it without ripping it off her body. he might get into a little trouble for doing that.

[light_in_sound]

"Mmmmmmmmm..." The small of her back was a high tension area. It had been sore on and off since the latter part of her pregnancy. The rubbing felt good.

"That's nice," she mumbled as she rested her head on her crossed arms and closed her eyes. If he had other plans, she wasn't aware of or concerned about them. Her body was noodleizing.

[sonofarize]

Wow. He wasn't aware of the knots Alison got there. So he worked on that spot for a bit. His fingers worked on chasing away any tension. Once he was satisfied with that, he worked his hands up either side of her spine. He kept his fingers just below her bra. It was still in the way.

With her arms like that, he couldn't move the straps down her shoulders either. Hrm. Well, he may have to cheat. But first, let her get totally relaxed...

[light_in_sound]

If it was total relaxation he wanted, he was on the fast track with the way he was rubbing her back. She hummed and sighed appreciatively as he continued the massage. Talented fingers. Oh, yes.

She was turning into a puddle of wife under his fingers. And she had no problem with that, whatsoever.
