To Jupiter and back

Chapter 17

"Well, only if you're okay with it and have nothing going on... It's just that I've been wanting to visit my grandma,"Billie warmly interrupted Jupiter's rant, gently pressing her lips against hers.

"Guys—oh!" Finneas suddenly turned around, catching the two in a tender moment. "We should be on our way, but it was great to see you." Finneas swiftly made his way toward Claudia, leaving Jupiter and Billie sharing a lighthearted chuckle.

"I'd be more than happy to go with you. I'll gladly cancel all my meetings and press obligations just to be by your side," Billie assured.

...

"Do you think a lip piercing would suit me?" Billie inquired, washing her face by the sink as Jupiter sat on the toilet lid, brushing her teeth.

"Yeah, it'd look hot," Jupiter replied, causing a few specks of toothpaste to scatter.

"Hmm, how about a septum piercing?" Billie turned around to ask, noticing Jupiter's gaze fixated on a particular spot.

After spitting out the toothpaste, Jupiter responded, "I actually have a septum piercing." Billie's eyes widened. "You do?"

"Yeah, although I haven't worn the earring in a while," Jupiter explained, rinsing her face.

"Now I definitely need a piercing, since you have one," Billie sat down on the toilet lid, observing Jupiter.

"I know a place where  you can get two piercings," Jupiter smirked mischievously.

"What? Where?" Billie asked, her curiosity piqued. Jupiter wiped her face with a towel.

"Your nipples," Jupiter simply stated, then casually walked out of the room, heading towards the bed.

Billie entered and playfully jumped onto the bed. "So, you're into nipple piercings? You're such a freak!" Billie straddled a reclining Jupiter.

"Well, I think they can be quite alluring," Jupiter admitted, placing her hands on Billie's waist, gently lifting her up and then drawing her closer.

"Maybe a strap-on, huh?" Jupiter teased, a playful smirk dancing on her face.

Billie blushed. Of course, she had contemplated the idea of introducing some sort of sex toy into their relationship. But she never anticipated that Jupiter would be open to it.

"Maybe," Billie leaned down to kiss Jupiter's lips before settling down beside her.

Nuzzling closer to Jupiter and embracing her, Billie softly requested, "Cuddles please."

"Whenever you want," Jupiter replied, enveloping Billie in a warm embrace, never wanting to let go.

...

"We're headed to Paris, baby!" Jupiter excitedly woke Billie by bouncing on the bed.

"Yeah, and you'll have to buy me a new mattress," Billie mumbled playfully into the pillow.

"Come on, let's find our tickets," Jupiter urged, shaking Billie gently and retrieving her laptop from the bedside table.

Scrolling through the myriad of flights to Paris, they discovered several options that required layovers.

"I found it!" Jupiter exclaimed, pointing to the Delta Air Lines tickets.

"Look, we don't even need to change planes; it's a direct flight to Paris," Jupiter explained, pointing at the screen.

"Okay, how much do I owe you?" Billie asked, unplugging her phone from the charger and accessing her bank account.

"No need for that, my love. I want to spoil you every now and then," Jupiter whispered affectionately, planting a tender kiss on Billie's lips.
