A Collection of Odds & Ends

Told You So (Jai Courtney)

I got a request for Jai and beard/mustache smut. Who better to pull that off than Jai & Cosette?

-----------------------

"Cos, babe, are you in here?" Jai called, walking into their bedroom with the shaggy black puppy in his arms. He had been out most of the day and was hoping he wasn't too late getting home. If she was asleep then he would feel like an asshole for waking her.

"Cosette?" He called, moving his face to avoid the puppy licking him. "Cos?"

"In the bathroom." Cosette called back, the master's bath door was opened enough for Jai to see light and smell the fragrance of her bubble bath.

On the floor, right next to the tub, Gannicus was sprawled out. He lifted his head and yawned when he saw Jai, letting it fall back on his paws. Four had been asleep on Jai's side of the bed, lovely, he so enjoyed the smell of dog when he tried to sleep. Scratching Reacher's ears Jai put the puppy on the floor next to Gannicus and stood looming over the tub.

"Should I join you?" Jai asked, his hands on his hips and a smirk on his gorgeous fa...Cosette's eyes went wide and she gasped.

"What the fuck is that?" Cosette pointed to Jai's upper lip.

Confidently rubbing his hand over the mustache that had reached it's peak, Jai smirked as he bent down closer. "You like that?"

"No." Cosette wrinkled her nose and made a disgusted face.

"Oh come on, Cos." Jai puckered his lips, causing the mustache to reach towards her. "I think it's sort of sexy."

"What happened to the beard?" Cosette sighed, rubbing his beard free cheek.

"Had to shave, I know, I should have told you. I'm sorry." Jai apologized.

Something Jai had learned, in being married, was never make a decision until he had consulted the wife. Especially when that decision was being made on behalf of his beard.

"I think a mustache could be just as fun." Jai shrugged. "You don't know, til you try it."

"Go shave." Cosette pointed to the sink. "Once that caterpillar is gone, then we can talk."

"Hey, don't mock it until you've rode it, babe." Jai ignored her direction in favour of leaving her in the tub. He would give her less than a minute, before she came stalking him into the bedroom.

Jai could have counted down the exact amount of seconds it took, before he heard the tub draining. It wasn't long before Cosette burst into the room, her towel wrapped around her wet body and Gannicus and Reacher right behind her.

"You are pathetic." She dismissed his attempt at the bad joke. "Can't you tell the director you wanted a fake one?" Cosette frowned.

"I could have, but why bother going through all that again? That glue is hell on my face." Jai shrugged. Brushing his hand over the fur on his upper lip, he looked rather pleased with himself.

This was the price she paid for having him working so close to home. When Jai had been handed the script for the P.I. plotted film, he didn't want it. Cosette had convinced him, as she often did, to take it based on the fact it was thirty minutes from their house. He could drive to and from work every day, sleep in his own bed, and Cosette could still see him over the four month period.

Getting to sleep in his own bed, with his wife, every night after work was a rather great perk. Not to mention on the rare days he did get off, Jai wouldn't be stuck in a hotel room alone. On those days, he could still get things done around the house, or surprise Cosette with lunch, maybe work on his bike.
