Just Us

            The next day; Jenny and Jethro had their home to themselves. Kelly had left early that morning to spend the remainder of the week with Shannon.  The quads had gone on another road trip, this time it was with some of their friends. So it was just Jenny and Jethro for the week. Not that either of them had a problem with that.

When it was just the two of them; they were just like two high school kids. Their first morning alone Jethro got up early enough and snuck downstairs to the kitchen to make breakfast for Jenny. Before he went down to make Jenny breakfast, Jethro delayed a bit when it came to leaving their bed. The way the summer morning sunlight hit Jenny through one of the bedroom windows just utterly captivated Jethro. He loved how the sun danced across Jenny’s skin and how it made her crimson hair glow.

As much as he didn’t want to tear himself away from Jenny at the moment; he knew that he had to if he was going to surprise Jenny with breakfast in bed when she woke up.  So Jethro threw on a pair of sweatpants and headed downstairs.  Jenny and Jethro had made it a rule one of their rules back in the early years of their marriage to go bed without clothing on. Their other rule was to never to go to bed angry. Sometimes that last one was easier said than done with their tempers. Besides Jenny knew that the rule of sleeping without clothing was purely Jethro’s idea, in fact she remembered the night that he had created that rule.

September 19^th, 2000; it was the first night in three and a half months that the girls had decided to sleep through the night giving their parents the chance to finally enjoy each other. Something that Jenny and Jethro didn’t get to do much since that night in the attic.

That night after putting Emiliana and Madison in their respective cribs in the nursery; Jenny and Jethro settled into each other’s arms to enjoy a night of peace. Jenny could tell that Jethro didn’t like having all the extra pieces of clothing between them especially after Jenny had lost all the weight she had gained during the pregnancy. Having her back to the way she was prior to the pregnancy sent Jethro over the moon. As much as he loved his 3^1/2 month old daughters with every fiber of his being; he loved seeing his wife with her special agent body as he had called it.

Jenny was the most tired out of the two of them that night since she was the one who mainly got up whenever one of the girls woke up. The price of motherhood. Jenny had just wanted to sleep since she still wasn’t drinking coffee. Jethro on the other hand was wide awake. Even though he had promised her back in Marseille a year and a half ago that until she was able to have coffee again he lay off the coffee as well. That was a short lived promise to say the least.

So that night as they lay in bed together Jethro created the rule and Jenny being the ever diligent junior agent to his senior agent, adhered to the rule.

“Hey Jen, I think every night from now on we should go to bed without pajamas.”

“Of course you do. I can tell that you’re happy that I am back to the shape and size I was a year and a half ago.”

“Can you blame me? You’re freaking hot, Jen. I’m just amazed at how quickly you bounced back from the pregnancy.”

Anyway at this point back in the real world; Jethro was brewing coffee and putting together Jenny’s favorite breakfast. Upstairs Jenny was starting to come around as the aroma of the coffee enticed her senses.

He’s still trying to suck up. What am I going to do with him?

Once Jenny had gathered her bearings she had grabbed her silk bathrobe that she had laid across the foot of the bed the night before and headed to the master bathroom.  After she had finished her morning routine she slipped back into bed since she figured that Jethro was making her breakfast.

Before long Jethro had come back upstairs with Jenny’s breakfast and coffee on a serving tray. Jenny when she had gotten back into bed moments before had decided to leave her bathrobe on.

“What did I say about going to bed in sleepwear, Jen?”

“I didn’t, Jethro and you know that. Besides you know what’s underneath, you’ve seen it all before; countless times I may add.”

“Play nice, Jen; I was just teasing.”

“Set the tray on the dresser and get the hell over here; Leroy.” Jenny purred.

“Someone is a bit on the playful side.”

“Playful isn’t the word, Jethro.” Jenny said as she began kissing her husband.

“What’s gotten into you?”

“Can’t a woman seduce her husband into doing what she wants to do after a nearly two week hiatus from what they normally do?”

“Nice Jen, answer a question with a question why don’t you.”

“Shut up Jethro.” Jenny said as she kissed him and things got a bit more physical between them.

Before long Jethro had gotten out of their bed once again and he had let Jenny out of his embrace to heat up Jenny’s breakfast  along with her coffee. Like he was before Jethro was entranced by Jenny.

“What is it?”

“Nothing, you’re just too much.”

“Yes I know you love me and my special agent body, Jethro. I’ve known it for quite some time now.”

Jethro stood at the end of their bed with the tray in hand for a beat or two.

“Still entranced, Jethro?”

“Yeah.”

“Well the sooner you get downstairs with all of that then you’ll be able to get back up here to be entranced some more  by me.”

“I’m going.”

“Good cause I want my coffee.”

“Coffee addict.” Jethro called back to Jenny.

“Look who’s talking.” Jenny said cheekily.

Jethro wasted no time in heating up Jenny’s food and coffee. Before long Jethro was back upstairs. Jenny had been satisfied with her favorite blend of coffee.

“The crimson haired, emerald eyed beauty has been conquered.”

“Cute, Jethro.”

“You know it’s true.”

“I never said that it wasn’t.” Jenny said as Jethro took his place next to her once again.

Jethro kissed his wife as she took another sip of her coffee. Jenny set her coffee down on her nightstand while Jethro sank lower into the bed. She then swung herself around so that she was straddling him. Jethro’s eyes widen like they usually did when he saw Jenny in all her glory. Jenny slowly and seductively lowered herself on top of him to the point where their bodies were perfectly fitted together and her face was inches from his.

“Thank-you for breakfast and the coffee, love.” Jenny said.

Jenny then closed the gap between the two of them with a long, deep and passionate kiss that went on forever.
