Demons without Desire

Home alone.

Quiet, the house was quiet and I wasn't sure if I would be able to handle the two weeks if it was this quiet..

I had spent all morning in the garden throwing a ball for Gracie before we had lunch. With the Sun's heat picking up, I decided to keep Gracie cool, so playing fetch was now limited.. For the last 30 minutes she had been sat in the shallow end of the pool enjoying herself.

I had resorted to laying on the couch like a sloth. I was bored already.

The door knocked making me get up and answer it. I didn't have to worry about a crazy person or fan on the private community. I opened it up to a delivery guy who was holding a large parcel.

"For Bagans?" He asked.

"That's right." I smiled signing for it and taking it into the lounge setting it down out the way.

I continued watching tv when my phone pinged. Picking it up I saw it was a message from Zak.

- Open the parcel then..

I frowned. How the heck did he know? I then remembered signing for it which meant he would have received an email saying it reached its destination.

- What is it? Xx

I replied and waited, I rolled my eyes when it came back just saying open it and find out.

Picking up the parcel I looked at the label and froze seeing Mrs K Bagans.

Is he serious about the whole marriage thing? I thought he was only joking the other day...

We hadn't even been together that long.

I pushed the negativity away and opened the package stopping and seeing a black box. I opened it to fuchsia tissue paper, unfolding it I found set after set of panties and bras.

Omg..

"Oh my god. Oh my god!" I squealed picking up the panties and looking at them.

I grabbed my phone and face timed him. I couldn't stop my squeal as he answered and chuckled.

"Hey babe." He grinned.

"ZAK!! They are gorgeous!"

"You like them?" He asked watching me nod.

"Look at them!" I position my phone up right and showed him them before grinning like a Cheshire Cat.

"Keep looking.."

I frowned and looked into the box seeing silk.

"More.. Zak." I looked at him laying on a bed.

"I owed you. God I wish they arrived before I came away. I wanted to see you model them."

"I will when you get back." I replied pulling out a silk slip. The teal colour caught my eye instantly as I held it in my hands.

"It's beautiful.." I whispered holding it against my body.

"That's going to look perfect on you." He smiled.

"Thank you so much."

"It's okay. But I have more parcels coming for you. So you'll have to keep an eye on the names. Just make sure you open yours. I have other items arriving for the museum. I don't want you opening them.. You understand?"

"Energy. Yep. Gotcha."

"Good girl. Show daddy what else you got?" He grinned.

"Not gonna let that go are we?" I asked.

"Hell no. Know any Spanish?"

I zipped my lips closed causing him to gasp, "You do. My Sheila is a secret señorita!"

I laughed and looked in the box "Jeeze how much did you ord- oh wow." I spoke lifting up a purple lace baby doll.

"Now that.. Hmm.."

"Is this for homecoming?" I purred.

"That is.. And those extra presents need to be modelled and I expect a photo for approval."

"You bought me lingerie for dirty pic?"

"Duh." He replied making me pout. "I'm kidding. But I would like a reminder of what I have to come home to.."

"I think I could do that for you.. Not nudes though. Tasteful."

"Of course."

"You get enough nudes from snapchat." I added.

"And what happens? I block the women after they send them." He smiled.

"Hmm cause you've only got eyes for me huh?"

He winked "you got it babe."

I laid back on the sofa looking at him "It's quiet here.."

"Miss me?" He asked making me nod.

"You gonna be okay aren't you? With these lockdowns? I could tell you were tense.. "

"You noticed."

"Of course." I replied pushing my mouth to the side.

"I think I'll be okay.. I hope I am." He sighed rubbing his face.

"You protect yourself, the guys as well but you have to know when to stop okay?"

He nodded "How's Gracie?"

"Nice conversation changer. She's fine, in fact she's in the pool."

He smiled and looked away from his phone. I could hear them all talking before he looked annoyed "I gotta go."

"Okay. Stay safe. Love you."

"Love you too. Bye."

I watched the call disconnect before I put the phone down and pulled his hoodie over the couch and up under my nose.

I missed him so much already. This was ridiculous.. How was I gonna sleep tonight?

Zak POV.

An hour later..

I sighed laying back on the bed, we had a kick ass RV, it had beds and showers, a kitchen, and sitting area. Only it was more of a tour bus. The channel had gone all out with this one and I was loving it, only I had a kingsize bed to myself.

That I hated..

I woke up the laptop and signed back into the home security looking at the cameras in the house. Finding Kaylee I found her in the lounge on the couch with my hoody around her.

Sighing I watched her for a little while before I went room to room of my house to make sure everything was okay.

No point in having an expensive in home system if I couldn't use it whilst on the road.

If anything happened within the house I would be alerted instantly and the system would take shots of the house instantly, as well as alert the community security and the police.

I wanted Kaylee safe, but she had to know I trusted her. I didn't trust my house though.. Not a for a bloody moment.
