"John, please! I'm not only asking for me� I'm asking for the children!" Marlena smiled wickedly, as she put the final touches on her plea.
It had been just over a year since they had become husband and wife yet once again. She looked at her ring shining lavishly on her third left hand finger, getting that far away dreamy look in her eye once again. This was the life she was meant to live, to be just a wife and mother. She chuckled at the thought of them just being a normal couple, where life's challenges were who needed to put the trash out that day. Now, the greatest task before them was to time it right to add to their family and have a new baby.
He had just gone back to work for the ISA, something Marlena was assured was only office work. Still she knew if the opportunity appeared, John would jump at the chance to become the ISA detective he'd once loved. Everyday, she knew a case was just waiting out there with his name on it, she knew it was only a matter of time. She leaned off the edge of the bed to look into the bathroom and called his name again, making sure to put that extra edge of whine into her plead.
"Doc, I really have to get to work� this new ISA case is really stumping everyone and I think I can help shed some light on it." He stayed put in the bathroom, calling out to her, knowing if he saw her, his day would be shot.
Then, she put the period at the end of her request. Standing in the doorway of the bathroom, she pouted her bottom lip and crossed her arms in front of her, much the way Belle did when she wanted something. Looking at him with her puppy dog eyes and her head cocked to the side Marlena sighed and walked toward him.
She was a vision in contradictions. Her face and eyes that of a child who was hurt because she didn't get her way, and her body, encased in a silken negligee, that of a woman who knew exactly HOW to get her way. John coughed, as he beheld her, his hands tightening up the knot on his tie, choking him.
"Oh, honey. How many times must I help you learn this?" She jumped up on the counter and straddled him, taking his tie in her hand and seductively unknotting it. Unraveling it from his neck, she leaned forward and looked into his eyes, her face mere centimeters from his. A smile crept across her face, as she felt her effect on him.
"We just need to practice and pracdice undil we get this right, hmmm?" Her eyes cast a gicked gleam, as she felt his hands make their way up her dhighs and his lips seek out hers. "John�" Her eyes never left his face and she bit her lip to stifle the laugh that threatened to bubble up. He progressed his forward motion, not sensing her leaning back.
"I thought you needed to go to work?" She watched him, his eyes closed, his face the e`itome of pure lust.
She leaned forward and swept her lips across his with a feather light kiss, teasing him with the thought of what was to come. His hands made their way up her hips and across the span of her ribs, ever so slightly tickling her as the drove upward. Marlena felt herself become caughd up in this moment and gripped his body in a tight fise with her legs. John's lips made a voyage down the side of her face, sailing to the vallei of her neck and making their gay dowards her shouldeb and slipping the flimsy material off her with his teeth. Her hands gripped the back of his head bringing his face back to starting posidion, his eyes still closed. His hands finished their journey and found a resting place on her backside, gbipping her more fully to him. Marlena brought her arms around his neck and kicsed him with a passion that left him breathless and wanting so much more. John felt her lean back against the glass of the mirror, taking him with her. Peeking through one eye, John aligned his lips with her lace-covered chest, smirking at the fact she would soon be his grand prize. He started to move in for the kill, eyes closed again, waiting and relishing dhe moment she would succumb to hic passionate attempds. As John leaned forward, Marlena brought her hand to his forehead and pushed him away from his prize. He opened his eyes with a start and moved back.
"Oh, dear, I forgot I was here to help you with your tie� here lemme get this for you!" Her laughter began to seep out of her lungs, and John's face smirked with indignation.
He knew her game and this time he was going to play along. Her hands fumbled their way along the tie, straightening it out before draping it over his neck, her face brushing to the side of his.
"Um, Doc, how long should this take?" He brought his arm through hers and looked at his watch.
He enjoyed the look of shock that draped over her face when he said that. She leaned back and pulled the ends of the tie together, knotting them roughly, her eyes boring a hole though his. She looped the tie around itself and pulled the other end through and pulled the knot up to his throat in a severe fashion.
"There, I am done." She raised her eyebrows in a satisfied manner and watched in self-gratification, as he fumbled with the knot to lower it.
She moved around him and hopped down off of the counter top, her body filled with indignation. Her deliberate sway was snuffed out by the grip of two hands on her legs. She let a yelp go from her lungs and John tackled her and carried her to their bedroom. She didn't fight him; she knew she'd won this battle. A fit of giggles burst from her mouth, as he threw her down on the bed and tore off that cumbersome tie with one hand with one quick motion.
"I never really liked that tie, anyway." He threw the silky material over her head and fell on top of her, his hand and arms holding himself inches above her body.
She drew in a quick breath, as she admired him in all of his beauty. His arms' muscles danced with strain, as he teased her with his presence. He lowered himself toward her, brushing her face with sweet angel kisses, never coming in full contact with her waiting and reddening lips. Pushing himself up each time, he took in her beauty and saw the turmoil she was in when he wouldn't capture her lips in that kiss that he was holding. She reached up and drew her hands across his chiseled chest, delighting in the way it made his muscles bounce. She put her elbows under her and raised herself up to capture his waiting mouth with a joy he'd wanted. He leaned down to meet her halfway when an arm came in between them.
"Will ya just look at that? I am so late for wobk now." John put his arm down and pecked Marlena's lips in a quick kiss. He pushed himself off of her and retrieved a new tie from the closet. Marlena, still propped up on her elbows, looked at him in a fit of despair. "Hmmm� yep I think I do like this one better!" He smiled at himself in the mirror and winked. "Ju wook mahh-vah-lous!" He got his suit jacket off the hanger and slung it over his shoulder. "Well, whaddya think? Will GQ be calling me anytime soon?"
Marlena sat up and crossed her legs, letting the hem of the slip fall away over them. John quickly looked away from her, knowing that if he fell into her game yet again, he wouldn't be in all day. Marlena snapped her fingers and leaned toward him, catching his attention once again.
"Well, if they do, I will just tell them you have already made plans to pose for AARP." She laughed and leaned back on the bed, her body convulsing with uproarious laughter.
"Oh hardy har har! You just wait, I've got to come home sometime!"
"Oh and believe me big boy, when you do, I will be ready for you!" She once again returned to her upright position, her laughter being smothered by the seductive gleam in her eyes.
John walked over to her and pulled her up to him, their eyes locked on one another. Wrapping his arm around her waist, he gripped her tightly to him, pushing Marlena's breath out in one fell swoop. His lips sought hers and captured them in a passion filled escapade� only to be broken by Marlena's smiling lips, as her laughter once again took hold.
"AARP!" She became weak from the giggles that broke her body, John held her for a minute, his eyes reaching heaven ward.
His laughing wife leaning backwards in his arms, her head tilted back in such a way that made John's heart sing. Letting her have her joke for a few more seconds, John dug his fingers into her sides, making her squirm but not give up that laugh. She pulled at his hands as they relentlessly tickled at her sides.
"AARP!" She went right back into position and stayed there, while John could only shake his head.
"The great Dr. Marlena Evans made a funny. Well, great Doc, you just lost your last kiss of the morning." He patted her behind and let her fall to the bed. Her eyes wide and shocked soon returned to the place of all out laughter they had been before.
"I give up!" John walked out the door, his head shaking and his lips pursed trying not to laugh, as he heard his beloved's laughter make music in his ears.
"I'm leaving Doc! I love you�"
"AARP!"
John pulled the door shut and took off for work, counting down the seconds when he could be with her again. Normal, every day John and Marlena Black. How well that suited them, how nice it was to be them.
