What's Fair in Love and War?

More Suprises

CHAPTER TWO

“MORE SUPRISES”

Elizabeth opened up her door to their new house and almost tripped over a box. Swearing under her breath she dropped her purse and keys unto the side table and pushed the box through the living room into the kitchen. The movers had gotten all their stuff into the house except for a couple things which she had them put into the garage until she could find room. She loved their house with its old English style structure and the modern American twist that gave it a homey feel. There was the large living room when you walked through the front door. To the left were the dining room and the kitchen and to the right were John’s office and the staircase leading up to the second floor. The second floor consisted of their bedroom with its own bathroom. Down the hall from them were James’ room across from the second bathroom and the spare room that for the time being, John had turned into his workout room.  Down the hallway from the living room were the guest bedroom and the back door to the patio outside and then the back yard. With a whole lot of work organizing and cleaning; her home was going to look beautiful on the inside as it does outside so she was super excited about that.

She ran into her bedroom and quickly changed into a pair of comfortable shorts and a blue tank. She plugged her iPod into her husbands surround sound system and put her Island mix playlist on. Since she was already in the living room she thought she might as well start there. For the next three hours, Elizabeth unpacked, dusted, organized and cleaned her way through the living room, dining, and kitchen. After putting the dishes and everything else in its place and was satisfied; she went back into the living room to hang up her pictures on the walls.

She was so concentrated on her task and what with the music blasting; she didn’t notice John come in. He quietly walked up behind and grabbed her by the waist throwing her on his shoulder.

“OH MY GOSH JOHN! YOU FREAKEN SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME!” she squealed.

“Well hun, you shouldn’t be leaving doors unlock then.” He said with a smack to her butt.

“OUCH! That hurt.” “And it’s not my fault the door was unlocked.” She pouted.

“Well still, you need to be punished.” He answered wickedly climbing the stairs to their bedroom.

“Where are you taking me?”

“Did anyone ever tell you that you ask too many questions?” John laughed dumping her onto their bed.

Elizabeth giggled and looked up sheepishly, “I do not.” “I ask the perfect amount of questions. It’s not my fault you don’t know how to answer them.”

Raising an eyebrow at her; John started stripping off his uniform. First his top, then his tan shirt; so that he was now standing in front of her with just his uniform pants and boots and his dog tags dangling from his bare chest. Elizabeth bit her bottom lip as heat spread rapidly through her body looking at her husband’s half naked body. They had been married for six years and she still couldn’t get over how incredibly gorgeous he was. John always prides himself with taking care of his body and it showed. He exercised daily and lifted twice a week; so he was quite fit from his chiseled chest to the perfect alignment of his six pack.

“Take a picture babe; it’ll last longer.” He smirked at her.

“I already have pictures. I’m working on memory.” she countered. “Don’t take it off!” she yelled when he was reaching to take off his pants and boots.

“I like the way you look. Just come here and let me admire you for a bit.” She beckons to him with her finger crooked. He followed her order and lay down on top of her keeping his weight on his elbows; he just couldn’t resist when his wife was acting so sexy.
