The Master’s Suit

Same Time

Post Painting Discovery

Was it silly?

Was it crazy?

Yes.

Only, both Elizabeth and Ethan were having a good time rediscovering each other.

Maybe it was the ghost hunt, or the fact that it had been a damn long time since they were able to spend any time alone together, but it was reminding them of a very important thing.

They were each other’s ride or die.

To.

The.

End.

The mere idea that they could wake up in the middle of the night, steal some cookies, work on a mystery, and then fall back into bed to rediscover themselves…

It made it fun.

Before this moment, neither one of them realized how little fun had been in their lives.

Oh, they had a good time with their spouses, or their kids, but neither could recall having a moment like this together.

So, they were taking it.

As they raced up the stairs, Ethan was grinning at the way his wife’s hair bounced and trailed behind her.

There was whimsy, and joy, in her giggles, and he missed hearing her stress-free.

Upstairs, she raced into the bedroom and began pulling off her things.

They went flying, and he did the same after kicking the door closed and locking it.

Then, he pounced.

Jumping on her, they landed on the bed and rolled around naked and laughing.

It felt good.

Instead of saying a word, Ethan showed her exactly how much he loved her.

When he found Elizabeth’s hands, he pinned them above her head, so that he could take his time, enjoying her body.

In his heart, Ethan wished she could look inside of it, and see the truth.

He loved her so much.

When he bit her on the neck, she moaned, and he went there.

“Before we have sex, I need something.”
