Alia looked up from her book when she heard the knock on the door. Glancing at the clock as she rose from the couch, she frowned. Who would be visiting at 11pm? Even Jason rarely stopped by after nine.
Looking through the peephole she was surprised, but secretly a bit delighted to see her favorite red head slouched against the doorframe, with a large paper bag resting next to him. She hadn't seen or heard from Jasoin almost a week, since he apparently had a bunch of events at work lately. She had left a message for him yesterday, confirming they would meet at the gym tomorrow, but hadn't gotten a response.
Opening the door, she grinned "Hey there stranger. What brings you by so late at night?" Her smile faded some as she noted the dark circles under his eyes and the fatigue that pervaded his entire being. She pulled him inside and grabbed the bag from the floor.
Jason blinked tiredly. He hadn't much thought about the time, he had just wanted to see her and feel her against him again. The various parties and catered events for a bunch of big shots this week had worn him out.
Alia shook her head, locking the door. "You look exhausted. Long day at work?"
"Long week at work," Jason corrected. "But the events are finally over. There's leftovers in the bag."
Alia sigh putting the food away. "I know I can't cook, but you really didn't need bring this over. Not that I don't appreciate it, but you should have just gone home to bed."
"Sorry." He rubbed the back of his head. "Returning you message, that yes, I'll be your gym partner for tomorrow?" he tried, his eyes wide.
Alia looked at him. She had missed him, both personally and physically, this past week. Even though he was clearly asleep on his feet, she was glad to see him. "Off to bed with you. I haven't touched your toothbrush, though it may have collected dust in your absence."
Jason smiled tiredly as went to follow her directions. He was glad she seemed to have missed him as well.
She slept curled up around him that night. He was clearly out to the world, but she still savored his warm presence in her bed. She told herself that she just needed the physical companionship.
When Alia awoke that morning, Jason was still deep asleep. It was rare that she got up before him. She quietly slipped out of bed, careful not to wake him. She'd have her coffee and sample those leftovers he had supplied last night.
Having finished her coffee, the paper, and a few too many of those stuffed triangular pastries (she liked the cheese ones more than the spinach), Alia cocked her head. She thought she might have heard Jason stirring. She hoped so anyway, since she didn't want to disturb him, but she really needed a shower and her bathroom plumbing tended to be quite noisy.
Deciding that it was late enough, and if he really needed the sleep he'd likely sleep through the noise, Kaoru went to take her shower.
Shed had already washed her hair and had just finished shaving, when her bathroom door opened to admit a boxer clad brownhaired He quickly stripped off his boxers and slipped into the shower with her, causing her to squeak with surprise.
His arms went around her as he nuzzled her neck.
She swatted at him irritably and tried to turn around. "What do you think you're doing invading my shower! I'm naked here, you know."
Jason gave a throaty chuckle, tightened his hold and slide one hand up to fondle her breast. "I've seen you naked before Alia. In fact, I've done more than see…" He nibbled at her ear and increased his caresses.
Alia bit her lip, torn between irritation at his presumptuous invasion of her privacy and the rising desire in her blood. It had been more than a week since they had last fucked and her body was informing her that it didn't want to wait any longer.
