[Narrative] Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity

[sonofarize]

Alison had to put up with Longshot being four years old for another whole day. Luckily for her there was Dakota and his kids to help ride her on an energetic four-year-old who liked to get into everything when nobody was looking. Asuka and the others had returned from Ireland with a very drunk leprechaun in a bag. Between hiccups, the little man in

"Good thing I only get sweaty for you then. It would be a waste otherwise. Nobody else licks me." People liked him sure, but licking didn't happen so much. Well, unless you considered Sadie.

"If there's naked parts... you will have my complete and undivided attention," he assured her.

[light_in_sound]

"They better not," she mock-huffed and stuck out her tongue at him. "I only like my tongue anywhere near your skin."

"Well, that's good. Since, they're all naked parts so far." And she really didn't have any intention of putting non-naked parts in it, either.

[sonofarize]

He wasn't going to let that tongue sticking out at him go to waste. He kissed her. Deeply. And made sure her tongue felt most welcome on him, in his mouth, or wherever. When he pulled back, he spoke quietly but with a smirk. "Poor Sadie. Not liked because of all the licking..."

"Oooh. Got any bits to demonstrate?" He wiggled a little. "Or you could sit up on me and I could enjoy looking at your beautiful body."

[light_in_sound]

"Well... alright. Sadie can lick you. But, nobody else." She grinned at him and rubbed the tip of her nose against him. Stalling a little, yeah. She had never recovered as quickly as her husband had. And lately, her drive for sex had not exactly helped the problem.

"No previews, sorry." She laughed and blushed a little. "You've seen my body."

[sonofarize]

"Good. She's the best at getting strawberry preserves off my toes." He was not even going to begin on how to explain that one. Longshot wasn't too aware of Alison's reluctance for sex lately. When she said she needed to rest, he let her. She was doing something more important than his need for sex anyway. He heard growing little babies in your belly was hard work.

"Yes, I have. It's beautiful and perfect." He brushed the backs of his fingers down her cheek. "And I like looking at it as much as possible."

[light_in_sound]

Alison chuckled softly and rolled off to one side, pulling Longshot with her. She curled up on her side and snuggled into him. She might feel like having another wild ride later, but right now she wanted to rest and soak up the warmth from her husband's body.

"Maybe later, sweetheart. Don't think I have the energy right now."

[sonofarize]

Good thing she was snuggled up beneath his chin because he frowned. He was just asking to look. Longshot knew she was hesitating, but looking over her body could keep him busy for a good hour or two. He rubbed a hand idly up and down her back.

"Okay," he agreed softly. Maybe he could wait for her to doze off. Then he would go take a cold, cold shower. That way later she could warm him up! Yeah! A plan!

[light_in_sound]

Alison sighed softly and leaned into the hand stroking her back. That felt nice. She knew he was probably disappointed that she wasn't more interested in more sex, but she just couldn't get excited again.

She'd been overjoyed to see him back and in one piece and it had spurred her to be more, well, more than usual. Now, she was a little achy and tired. In a little while, she might be ready again. No time soon, though.

"Sorry, sweetheart. Someday I'll have energy again." She mumbled against his shoulder.

[sonofarize]

He was disappointed, but he was trying real hard not to show it. Longshot didn't want to make her feel bad. It was just that... there was usually two. Twice. He liked that. Now, he was still stuck with energy he didn't know what to do with.

"It's okay," he murmured as he kept rubbing her back. He wanted to keep his voice soft. He was hoping that it would eventually make Ali fall asleep. She needed to rest.

[light_in_sound]

She wanted to stay awake and apologize some more. Maybe feel guilty some more. But, the rhythmic, soothing rubbing and her overall tiredness crept up on her. Soon, she was warm and heavy against him. Her breathing evened out and slowed as she sank into a deeper sleep.

The last couple of days had been long and he was too comforting a presence for her to fight off the need to sleep for long.

[sonofarize]

He stayed there for a little while, rubbing Alison's back and making sure she was definitely asleep. He leaned down to put his mouth by her ear.

"It's okay, Ali. I understand," he whispered softly. Well, his head understood. Other parts of him didn't. He shouldn't have gotten used to so much sex.

He quietly and carefully extracted himself away from Ali. He grabbed the spare blanket at the foot of the bed and covered her gently. After double checking she was probably comfortable, he made his way to the bathroom. He closed the door silently and leaned against it.

Longshot couldn't stop the sigh that came out. He winced and hoped Ali hadn't heard that. It wasn't her fault. He shook his head and pushed off the door to go take a nice, long, very cold shower.

[light_in_sound]

She hadn't meant to fall into a full sleep. But, she was tired from chasing an unexpected toddler around. Well, in addition to the usual pregnancy complaints that made her tired.

She was longing for the promised ease of the second trimester. The books had better not be lying to her.

When she rolled over and reached out to find Longshot's side of the bed empty, she shook her head and sat up. The blanket slipped off her shoulders as she stretched and yawned. The nap had felt good.

But, she wanted her hubby. So, she got to her feet and tugged on one of his shirts and a soft pair of flannel pajama bottoms. Then she went searching.

On the stairs, she thought she heard his voice talking to someone. As she got closer she realized he was talking to the marmoset. Aww.

[sonofarize]

Longshot was actually doing a handstand with Maponos perched on one of his feet. After his shower, he had put on a pair of shorts. Ali had been still sleeping so he slipped out to find something to do that wouldn't wake he. The pygmy marmoset was clinging to the Mojoworlder's big toe and peering down at him.

"Not even bananas work," Longshot continued on. Maponos made a sound of disbelief. The Mojoworlder slowly brought his leg down to get the little simian at eye level. "Well, a peel would, but that would require a bruised butt. I like being able to sit normally."

[light_in_sound]

"What do bananas not work for?"

Alison asked curiously as she wandered into the room and took a seat on the floor nearby. Not near enough to be clobbered if he overbalanced and fell, but close enough to see the little monkey's curiously twitching nose.

[sonofarize]

Longshot blinked at his upside down wife. He had been too intent on his little monkey that he had not even noticed her come into the room. He tried to figure out the best way to put it while balancing precariously.

"Helping take care of excess energy." He thought maybe a full belly would make him calm down or maybe slipping on a banana peel. Though he always got more energy. Stupid Mojoworlder genes.

[light_in_sound]

She chuckled softly and gave him a fond smile.

"You always have excess energy. I don't think I've ever seen you tired for very long. Except the one time you were sick. And, I like it better when you're not sick."

She propped her chin up in her hands and rested her elbows on her knees as she watched him. "Finding yourself with too much energy lately?" She wondered if it was a byproduct of his time spent as a four year old.
