They had returned home late from Staten Island, he had relieved the babysitter and sent her off in an Uber whilst she took a shower.
She returned to their bedroom (hers really but he spent enough time there to call it his also) clad in a towel, hair clipped to the top of her head and face red from the steam of the shower.
Beautiful.
He watched her as she stood in front of her dresser, one hand still holding the towel the other picking through her potions.
She finally settled on one applying drops to her face distractedly before rubbing it in with both hands. Not bothering to look into the small mirror atop the dresser, eyes already searching for the comb she would use on her hair before she picked out her sleep wear.
He knew her rituals by now.
He liked that he was probably the only man who had ever bothered to learn them.
“Are you going to say anything or are you just going to continue to stare at me?” She asked, startling him.
He grinned away his embarrassment then walked up behind her so that he was face to face with her in her mirror.
“You can say it, I know I screwed up” she glared at him. “you shouldn’t be scared that I can’t take it, you can be mad at me”
He laughed then captured her between his arms and the dresser
“Oh I know you can take it” eyebrows wiggling he teased.
She turned to face him and pinched his bicep in retaliation.
“Ouch!” He keened with an exaggerated pout.
She peered up to him, “I’m trying to be serious, no hiding how we are feeling.” She regripped the towel in her hand anxiously. “That doesn’t just apply to me”
He unclipped her hair. “I know, but what you are not getting is that I’m horny”
“I just had a massive fight with your mother, and it made you horny” Amanda scoffed, pushing unsuccessfully on his chest. She really didn’t try very hard.
“Eugh gross no,” he said, dissuading her of those kinds of thoughts “ I’m horny because you told my mother that you planned to marry me” his eyes twinkled as he grasped both her wrists. “I could have done with finding that out when you weren’t using it as a threat against mama but I’ll take what I can get from you Amanda Rollins”
She moved her eyes to their joined hands away from his wondered look. Embarrassed and ashamed. It was Obvious to him with how much time she had spent fretting and primping before they had left to visit his mother that she had not intended to get into it with his mother; she had planned to impress her.
It had left him in awe that Amanda Rollins, who he mostly applauded for her does not give a
Fuck attitude, cared about what his mother thought about her.
Because she loved him. She loved him enough to think about marrying him. Out loud.
“I shouldn’t have lost my cool” she said.
“Probably not, but you were right about Mia and I could never ask you to not stand up for victims, even to my Mother” He pulled her arms up around his neck which forced her gaze back up to his.
He placed his arms around her waist starting to sway with her.
She gave him a watery smile.
“So this plan to marry does it involve you getting down on one knee or can I at least do that part” he joked.
She laughed nervously. “I hadn’t got that far on the plan”
Sonny smiled knowing that was the best he was going to get tonight. She was probably more shocked at herself than he was at her.
“Well let me know when you do”
She played with the hair at the back of his neck. “Yes, Councillor”
“So back to me being horny, care to help with that?” He asked bringing one of his arms around to her front and playing with the edge of the towel.
“Oh you have a plan too then?” She said smirking and pushing up on to her toes so that their mouths were inches apart.
“Yeah and my plan is all planned out, it starts with me kissing you and ends with us both spent on that bed behind me” he whispered closing the gap as they kissed.
“ I like this plan” she replied as he released the towel and she stood naked in front of him.
