Hi! I'm sorry if this took sooooo freaking long but work has been taxing these days. Anyway, I hope you'll like this one.

Tay.

A wide smile successfully escaped my lips despite my attempt to hide it as I watched my husband of two years take pictures of our one-year old son.

He shifted his position as he took another photo of Pluem who was playing with a blue rattle his Uncle Off gave him this morning.

New didn't even notice me as he was far too engrossed with making our son look at the camera.

With light steps, I slowly approached him and stealthily slid an arm around his waist and sneaked a kiss on his temple.

"Hi, love. How's the mini photoshoot going?" I teased to which he just responded with a pout.

"I only took few photos of him looking at the camera. It's so hard to get his attention," he grumbled as he showed me several blurry photos on his phone.

I let out a giggle as I tussled his hair, "You two look cute though. Anyway, what time are your parents coming over?"

"Around 11 am just in time for lunch."

"Okay, I'm gonna start cooking then. Do you have something particular you want to eat?"

He slowly shook his head, "No. Anything's fine."

"Okay. Just look after Pluem and I'll take care of the rest."

***

"P'New, just in case you get tired of your husband's face, I'm just here, okay?"

My glares immediately narrowed down at Kayavine who was grinning from ear to ear while my husband just laughed at him.

I wasn't even expecting him to come over. New even had to stop me from shooing him away when I saw him standing beside New's parents the moment I opened the door.

"Tss. Why did you even come back, huh?" I hissed as I gestured a punch at him.

We were currently left in the kitchen after the meal since New decided to bake some cookies.

New just chuckled and slightly elbowed my stomach, "Love, just don't mind him. You know how much he likes to tease you."

I shot Kay another glare but he just laughed even harder at me.

"Psh, you're still the same grumpy old man I met years ago. Fine. I won't steal P'New away from you, okay? And besides, I actually went back because I'm getting married."

All eyes landed on Kayavine who had a wide grin on his face.

"You're engaged??" New gasped to which Kayavine responded with a nod.

"Good. You should get married as soon as possible," I nonchalantly remarked as I placed an arm around New's shoulder and pulled him closer.

"Tay!"

"Why? I mean, it's good so he would stop pestering me," I casually replied as I glanced at New's parents who were playing with Pluem in the living room.

"You didn't even tell me you have a girlfriend."

"Well, things just happened. Anyway, I have to get going. We still have to meet our wedding planner."

"Hey, promise me you'd let me meet her."

"Okay, okay. I will. Pssh, if your husband didn't make you stop working, I would have gotten you as our wedding coordinator."

I just grimaced at him and decided not to start an argument anymore so he'd leave immediately.

I initially wanted to make New takeover the wedding company since my father was already grooming me to take over our own. But right after getting married, I suggested that he take a break from work so he could rest.

Surprisingly, he agreed.

"What are you thinking?" he nudged my arm before placing the freshly baked cookies on the table.

"I'm just wondering if coming back to work ever crossed your mind."

"Nah, I'm happy taking care of you and Pluem. And besides, I already promised to tell you whenever I feel like coming back to work, okay. Why? Is that bothering you?"

"No, it's just, I don't want you to think that I'm stopping you from making your own decisions."

"Psh, come on, love. I was the one who agreed to your suggestion. You didn't force me. And besides, I badly wanted to take a break for a while that time too."

"Okay, but just tell me if you wanna come back to work so I could arrange things for you."

New gave me a wide smile before holding a cookie against my mouth.

"Here, take a bite and tell me how it tastes."

I gladly obliged and finished the entire cookie, "Hmmm. This tastes good. But something else tastes better."

New immediately furrowed his brows, "Why? Have you tasted better cookies than mine??"

"The cookie tastes good, but you taste even better," I grinned as I attempted to place a kiss on his lips but he immediately planted a palm on my face.

"Yaah, my parents are here," he chuckled as he gently squished my face.

"Should I tell them to go home already?"

"You want my dad to kill you?" New giggled before he attempted to punch me but failed.

New's parents stayed over for the night so I decided to take him out with just the two of us since we didn't have to worry about Pluem.

It had been so long since we had time for ourselves so I decided to take him somewhere I knew he'd like. Well, it wasn't really that hard to make him happy as he's very appreciative of the most simple things but I wanted to surprise him for the nth time.

"So, where are you taking me?" he shifted on his seat as he asked with his brows furrowed.

I just shrugged and winked at him, making him pout in annoyance.

"Psh, you really like surprises, huh?" he slouched on his seat and crossed his arms.

"I swear you'll like it there, okay?" I gently squeezed his arm but he just grimaced at me.

***

"Where the hell are you really taking me, huh? And geez, Tawan, it's so dark out here! Are you sure we're gonna get out of here unscathed?" New wailed at my back.

"We're almost there, love," I grabbed his hand and adjusted the bag filled with the things we'd be needing on my back.

"If I only knew you'd take me on a hike in the middle of the night, I would have just stayed in bed!"

New was agitated for sure as he was already breathing heavily. The path leading the place where I wanna bring him wasn't that steep but it sure needed some patience and a lot of oxygen.

"I promise you'll like it there, okay. Come on, just a bit more. We're almost there," I said tenderly as I moved at his back and slightly pushed him forward.

It didn't take long before we arrived at the spot and New being New, he immediately plopped down on the grass and started making faces at me.

"So what now? What are we gonna do in this dark secluded place, huh?" he scoffed as he chugged a bottle of water.

"Look up," I simply said with a smile.

"What?"

"Just look up and you'll know why I brought you here."

Confused, he still did as what I said and a huge smile immediately flashed across his face.

"Wow! Tay, it's so, it's so beautiful."

New's genuine reaction made me smile even more and I was happy that he loved the sight before us.

"I've alway wanted to do this with you," I smiled as I sat beside him and tussled his hair.

"Stargazing?"

"Yeah. You know, staying under the stars, talking about our future...and probably... making love as well...ouch!"

"Psh! You just don't know how to shut your mouth, don't you?"

"Hey, I'm being serious here. And besides, it's just the two of us here."

"Are you sure this place is safe though?"

"Don't worry. There are guards in this place so you better keep it low when we start doing it."

"Ugh! Shut up. You're making my skin crawl!"

I unintentionally winced when he landed a slap on my arm.

"But on a more serious note though, I immediately thought of you when I visited this place years ago. And I'm glad you liked it."

"Psh. You know that I love every single place you take me to as long I'm with you."

There was only one lamppost illuminating the area but despite the lack of light, I could see his cheeks and ears turning red.

"Really?"

"Anywhere with you is home, Tay. Anywhere with you and Pluem is home."

"Come here," I said with my arms open wide.

He immediately came into my embrace and buried his face in my neck. "I love you, Tay."

For some reason, the tone in his voice when he said those words made me giggle.

"Huh? What did you just say?"

"Psh. I'm saying it again," he mumbled and hugged me tighter.

"Oh, come on. Just say it one more time. I didn't hear it properly."

"Psh. That's what you get for not cleaning your ears."

"Looove, just one more time. Say it again, please."

"Fine, I'll say it again if you keep your word for losing the bet last time."

"Oh, come on, love."

"Psh! No, I'm not saying it again unless you keep your word."

"Oh, geez....fi-fine! But, just, just once. Once. I'll do it once," I surrendered with my eyes tightly shut as I was so sure that he wouldn't drop the issue about me backing out of the bet we made years ago.

"Really?! You said it! I'm really gonna kill you if you back out of your words like what you did on our wedding night!"

"I-I swear. I, I won't back out. I promise," I swallowed nervously as I watched him grin from ear to ear.

"Then, shall we...do it here?"

Chills went down my spine as he wiggled his brows with an evil look on his face.

"Of course not! Not...not now. Give me some time to prepare myself. Come on. It's getting late. Let's go home now," I hastily grabbed our things.

"That was it? I thought we're gonna spend the night here."

"I, I...no. It's too dangerous," I lied. The area was undeniably secure as it was a common spot for tourists who want to get a clear view of the stars at night.

"Then what is the tent for? Hey, wait for me! Oh, geez."

I quickened my pace while constantly looking back if he was able to follow me. He kept on whining along the way but eventually became silent.

"Hey, are you hurt somewhere?" I immediately checked on him when he stopped on his tracks and didn't say a thing.

But instead of giving me an answer, he just burst into fits of laughter and hit my shoulder several times.

"Oh geez! I was just teasing you, okay? Fine, I won't say a thing about that bet anymore. I promise."

"Are you sure?"

"I swear, okay? Geez, are you really that scared of bottoming?"

I could feel my cheeks blushing at his blunt comment.

"I-I've never done it," I honestly replied and started heading back to the camping site again.

"Oh geez. You look so cute when you're flustered. Fine, I won't bring that up anymore," he giggled as he trudged behind me while poking my back.

"Okay. F-fine. Just-just once. I'll do it once," I finally caved in and faced him, my face red from all the embarrassment.

New started giggling before finally letting a loud laugh that made him throw his head back.

"Geez. Can you be any cuter??" he exclaimed before cupping my face and squishing it. "I'm just kidding, okay? Just forget about the bet."

"Give me a kiss," I pouted.

New didn't waste any second and went in for a deep kiss. I immediately snaked my arms around his waist and pulled him closer while his arms went to the back of my head, lightly grabbing my hair.

"He-hey, we shouldn't be doing this here out of the open," he slightly pushed me away. His eyes were still in a daze from the kiss we just shared.

"Then shall we go home and do it?" I grinned.

"Psh. I thought we're gonna do some stargazing?"

"Nah, change of plans. I wanna watch you undress instead of watching the stars."

"Pervert!"

***

New let out a soft moan as I ran my tongue on his neck before giving it a soft bite.

We were in the living room spending some quality time since our parents offered to take care of Pluem for the day.

"Geez, stop it, Tay," he complained with his eyes closed but I could see him biting his lower lip.

"You sure?" I whispered, making him grab my arm.

"I-I mean, it's still 10 in the morning, Tay. The sun is still up out there."

"Psh, who cares about the sun?" I whispered again before licking his ear.

I could feel his heavy breathing against my skin when I pushed him down the sofa and placed light kisses down his neck.

His hands then found their way to the back of my head. I could feel him tugging my hair when I started trailing my tongue on his collarbone.

My hands then went to the band of his shorts. His breathing then became even more labored when I inserted a hand inside and started caressing him down there. His nails were on my back, scratching my skin as I quickened my strokes on his member.

"How about we move to the bedroom?" I asked but he just looked at me with dazed eyes.

"No, I, I, I wanna do it here," he replied, his ears reddening as he covered his face with his hands.

"As you wish, my love," I chuckled before hurriedly removing my shirt.

I immediately went in for this lips, sucking and licking them as if there was no tomorrow. I took the time to bask in the sweetness of his mouth as I plunged my tongue inside. A soft moan escaped both of our lips when our tongues intertwined in a rhythm only the two of us could hear.

I was in the midst of exploring the insides of his mouth when I felt something scratching on my back. New's reaction even ignited my urge to pleasure him. The more he sank his nails on my back, the more I deepened our kiss. Our lower bodies were rubbing against each other so aggressively that I could feel his growing length against mine despite the shorts we were still wearing.

My kisses then moved down to his neck where I left a bruise. I was on my way down to kiss his taut nipples when I noticed how painful his scratches on my back were.

"Ouch," I unintentionally winced as his scratching continued.

"What's wrong, love?"

"N-nothing. It's just, you've got long nails, huh?" I giggled, trying to neglect the searing pain on my back.

My remark prompted him to look at his nails.

"They're not," he frowned.

Then I felt it again.

"Shit," I cursed as I felt the scratching on my back again. But this time, New's hands weren't even on me.

I immediately got off him and stared wide-eyed at the white creature that just got off me.

Meow.

I groaned in frustration as I glanced at New who immediately carried Snow in his arms.

"Psh! Why?? Of all times. Why right now, Snow??" I whined and repetitively pointed at the cat in New's arms.

"Love, he might he hungry. I'll feed her, okay. I'll be back."

"But loooove. We're, we're, I mean, I, I.."

"What?"

I frustratingly flailed my hands before pointing on the growing tent in my shorts.

"I'm, I'm about to..." I couldn't even finish my statement as the smug look on the cat's face made me even more frustrated.

"I'll be back, okay? I just can't let Snow be hungry for a long time. This will be quick," he said with finality before leaving me all horny and wanting.

"Ugh! I shouldn't have let him bring that cat home. Shit, it hurts," I teared up as I curled into a ball.

——————————————————

The night of the wedding.

"Just keep your eyes closed, Tay. I promise you're gonna like this," Off tapped my back as he guided me somewhere I didn't even know.

I adjusted the blindfold on my eyes but I immediately felt a slap on my hand.

"Fine. Fine. I'm not trying to peek, okay?" I surrendered and just let him do whatever he wanted to do with me.

New and I just finished bidding our goodbyes to the guests and I was damn excited to finally be alone with him but Off just had to be a jerk and started dragging me somewhere.

"Psh. Where the hell are you taking me, Off?"

But I didn't receive any answer. Instead, I felt him push me to what seemed to be a sofa.

"Just stay here. Your wedding gift is here. Remove your blindfold as soon as I leave," he said before leaving me.

I let some time pass but I didn't hear anything.

Annoyed, I hastily removed the blindfold only to be surprised to see a large gift box in front of me. I even had to rub my eyes to make sure that I wasn't seeing things.

"What the hell is this?" I muttered to myself as I examined the box and at some point, it looked familiar.

My hands then found their way to the pink ribbon on top of it and before I knew it, I already had it removed.

"Lo-love? What are you doing there?" I asked in utter surprise as New, who had nothing but a sexy red underwear and a red bowtie emerged from the box and smiled at me.

"Why? Don't you like it?"

"No, no, I mean, I didn't expect you to do this. You look good. You know I always have the hots for you but you don't have to do this, love."

"Psh. Why? Did I even expect to be railed by a stripper in a party??"

His reply made me giggle.

"So, you're getting back at me, huh? Hmmm. What should I do now that I opened the gift?" I said lowly in his ear, making him flustered.

"Wha-what do you want to do?"

"Hmmm. What do you think?" I grinned before carrying him out of the box. His legs immediately wrapped around my waist.

"Oh, you're already turned on, huh?" I teased as I placed a kiss on his cheek.

"Tss. As if you're not."

"You haven't danced for me yet. Should I be the one to strip this piece of cloth off you?" I whispered, making him tighten his grip on my shoulders.

"Oh, sh-shut up, Tay. And don't even think I already forgot that you lost the bet. You have to be the bottom tonight."

"Hmmmmm. We'll see about that," I grinned before bringing him to the bedroom where I did all the wonders to make him totally forget about the bet we did.
