Icing vs Frosting

************************************************************************************

It was just after 8 pm and Kayleigh and Brad managed to get most everything in the apartment unpacked. Except Kayleigh's clothes but that was going to require overhauling Brad's closet. They probably could have got more done but Brad seemed hell bent on finishing what he started in the closet. Kayleigh didn't think even as a teen she spent any time making out in a closet. But it definitely had its merits. She was pretty sure that some of his clothes might be permanently wrinkled.

"Hey Doll" called Brad "Come here."

"Where are you?" she asked as she walked through the apartment. She looked in the kitchen and dining room. She moved through the living room. She didn't see him standing in their bedroom. She still wasn't used to it being their bedroom or their apartment. No matter home many times Brad repeated it. She had apparently lost her mind. Moving in with a guy after less than a few months. "Brad?"

Kayleigh found him in the master bathroom. He was filling the giant tub with water. The entire room smelled like sugar cookies. Kayleigh had always been attracted to the smells of cinnamon, vanilla, and sugar. He had obviously been paying attention because she had not even started unpacking the bath stuff. There were candles on most surfaces of the bathroom. Plus an open bottle of wine and a glass on the ledge of the tub. "Whatcha doin' Marchand?"

"You wanted to relax and snuggle all day. And I've made you work all day. So I figure I will handle dinner while you soak. We can eat then I promise we can snuggle." he explained "I picked up this bath set in New York. It has different cake batter smells. It reminded me of you. Millsy was completely uncooperative and wouldn't use it when he showered." Brad was grinning at her "So into the tub. Relax." He motioned her closer to the tub. He gave her a quick kiss. "I'm going in the other room so you can get in. I'm trying to be good."

Kayleigh stripped out of her clothes. She heard Sam Smith pour out of the speakers in the bathroom. Just when she thinks she has him all figured out he does something bigger. He really did treat her better than anyone she had ever dated before. She had spent the first few weeks wondering if it could work. She had heard stories, rumors, and innuendo but they didn't know him like she did. They didn't know Brad. She sank into the hot fragrant water. The only thing missing was him.

"Brad" she called. He stuck his head back in the bathroom. "Yeah doll?"

"I love you Bradley Keith" she answered "After you order dinner come keep me company."

"You trying to kill me Kayleigh" he asked "I love you too. Be back in a few minutes."

"Better yet let's skip dinner and you come soak with me." she replied crooking her finger at him "We can have peanut butter and jelly after our bath."

"I wanted this to be special and relaxing." he answered standing in the door way. She could tell by his expression he was torn. Calm Brad was not the normal Brad. He was wavering.

"Please Brad"

Brad shook his head. He couldn't deny her anything when she said please. And she was fully aware of this fact. He crossed the room with purposeful strides. He sat on the ledge of the tub and leaned down and kissed her upturned smiling mouth. "Like I would deny you anything." Kayleigh sank further into the tub and took a drink of her wine. Her eyes hadn't left Brad. He pulled his thermal henley shirt off and tossed it in the general area of the hamper. Kayleigh contemplated grabbing him by the belt and dragging him in. But that would ruin the view. Brad in a suit was handsome, Brad in his hockey gear impressive, but Brad barefoot in jeans shirtless was hot. She could see his cup tattoo. She knew exactly where his other ink was. He undid the belt and jeans. It hit the tiled floor with a clang. Kayleigh scooted over in the tub. Brad's briefs joined his other clothes and he kicked them in the vicinity of the hamper.

"How we doing this side by side or you want to scoot up so I can hold you."

"We will figure it out" she said motioning for him to get in. Brad stepped into the tub. He managed to settle himself into the tub beside Kayleigh. She settled her head against his chest. Then threw a leg across his. "See very comfy." He leaned over and kissed her shoulder.

"I think I like you living with me" replied Brad "I get to take baths with you and come home to you every day." Brad wasn't hyper or loud. He was enjoying just soaking with Kayleigh. Brad leaned back and laid his head against the back of the tub. Kayleigh held the wine glass out to him. He laughed. "I guess I should have brought 2 glasses."

"We can share" she answered "according to Caroline wine counts as dinner." He smiled at her. Kayleigh pushed the button and the jets swirled on in the tub. Bubbles were raising in the tub. He was going to smell like a bakery for morning skate. He could hear the chirps now but could give a fuck less. His entire world was sitting with him in his tub.

"Not going to soak any injuries at the arena anymore." he said looking at Kayleigh "this is way better than staring at Looch and the boys in various tubs of hot water or ice." She moved closer to him. Apparently moving in with him made her less shy. "I'm glad you aren't hiding from me anymore."

"You won't let me" she replied stroking a hand up his chest "I can't figure you out. When I think I have you all figured out you surprise me. You are so much more than the caricature that the fans see."

Kayleigh leaned across his body and kissed him "I see you. I see all of you. If you can show me that I can stop hiding from you." He pulled her across his lap so that she was sitting sideways. He pulled her mouth over to his. He gave her a sweet kiss. He could feel her smile against his mouth. She then nipped his full bottom lip.

"Oh no doll" he scolded "We are soaking and relaxing. I didn't get in this tub so you can take advantage of me."

Kayleigh threw her head back and laughed. She moved so that she was straddling his body. "Someone pulled me into the shower to have his way with me. Then someone had his way with me against my new kitchen counter. And I seem to remember someone having his way with me in the closet." She framed his face with her hands. Her mouth found his. It was his turn to smile against her mouth. Her tongue skimmed along the seam of his lips before intertwining with his. As much as he wanted to take control of what was going on he knew he needed to let her be in charge. Kayleigh was just getting so that she was confident in initiating what she wanted. He was loving every minute of it. Kayleigh could take advantage of him anytime she wanted. She kissed him gently before resting her head in the crook of his neck. After a few minutes of her snuggling against him she leaned back and looked at him. "Nothing to say Bradley Keith Marchand?"

"Nope" he said shaking his head. She wiggled around. She was killing him. She turned and sat between his legs. She leaned her back against his chest. "Comfy" he asked.

"Very" she replied "I think we need to add bathtub time to our to do lists."

Brad snaked his arms around her body. He ran his hands up her body until the rested below her breast. "I think that is doable." whispered into her ear. He kissed her neck and she shivered "You cold" he smirked.

"No, sir" she answered. He slid his hands higher. His mouth trailed up her neck heating her skin more than the hot water.

"Normally when someone calls me sir it's a bad thing."

"Depends on the situation Marchand." she replied.

"This situation is definitely good" his hand cupped the weight of her breasts. His warm soapy fingers slid over her nipples. Kayleigh gasped and leaned back against him. She arched her body back towards him. Brad hands skimmed from her breasts down her curves. They came to rest in the v of her thighs. She spread her legs and moved towards his hand. He laughed but didn't make any movements. She sighed. "What do you want Kayleigh?" he asked moving his hand. He kissed her neck and pulled her mouth back to his. His finger danced over her clit and she rocked back. She could feel his erection against her back. He continued to swirl his finger over that tight bundle of nerves. His tongue and his fingers were working in the same lazy pattern. Both were driving her crazy. She wanted to turn her body she wanted more contact. But Brad held her in place anchoring her to him with an arm. His fingers stilled. "Nothing to say Kayleigh Jo." His mouth covered hers again before she had time to answer. Her hips canted towards his touch. He laughed against her mouth before plundering it again. "Tell me what you want" he teased. His fingers were pressing into her flesh. Kayleigh made a breathy sound. His fingers found the opening to her center. His thumb skidded over her button as he pressed her body open with two fingers. He heard her gasp and kept pressing. Her hand joined his. He wasn't sure if she was trying to still his hand or force him to do what she wanted.

"Please" she panted.

"Please what" he asked as he thrust his fingers deeper.

"I want you. That's all I want" she replied. His hand slid free from her body. He pulled her to her feet as he stood. Before Kayleigh knew it she was dumped on their bed. She crawled up to the pillows. Brad came across the bed. Rolling muscle like a predatory cat. He kissed her hard and fast. His mouth then began a downward path. He stopped lavished each of her breasts with attention. He nipped at one nipple then the other. Soothing each small sting with his tongue. He kissed his way down her rib cage. His tongue detoured into her belly button before skimming over her tattoo. He bit a her hipbone as he spread her legs wide enough for his shoulders. He stroked a finger through her center. His thumb worried her bundle of nerves briefly before his mouth joined.

Kayleigh made a keening sound. Her hands found purchase in his hair. She called his name as his tongue worked her button. His tongue found her opening and dipped inside. She pushed her hips trying to create more friction. Brad continued lapping at her and pressed his fingers into her core. Kayleigh was pleading with him. He worked her body harder and faster. He could feel her fingers pulling his hair. Her body started contracting against his fingers. He bit down on her clit and the soothed it with his tongue. She cried out as her orgasm washed over her. He continued pushing her body. His tongue stroking and finger gliding. Kayleigh was chanting no.

"You've got at least 2 more in doll" His mouth sucked harder on her button. She cried out again. Kayleigh's eyes squeezed shut as she flew apart. Brad kissed the inside of her thigh. His body covered hers. Kayleigh's hand worked its way between their bodies. Her small hand felt hot on his cock. He was sure she had branded him. His mouth found hers. His tongue and his cock both invaded at the same time.

"Fuck" he said as he seated himself fully in her body. Kayleigh was made for him. He pulled almost free and reseated himself. Kayleigh's legs locked around his waist. Her hips were meeting him thrust for thrust. He rolled them so that Kayleigh was on top of him. "Now you can take advantage of me" he said pushing up into her body. Kayleigh rose up and came back down on his erection. With each motion she ground herself against his pubic bone. She leaned forward and began to circle her hips. He grabbed her hips and thrust up. "Killing me doll." he growled " Not going to make it much longer." She picked up her pace. She ground her hips into him and came unglued. Brad pistoned into her body. It was pulling his cock in deeper with its convulsions. He emptied himself into her as she collapsed onto his body.

"Told ya" he smirked kissing her forehead. He was stroking the wisps of hair away from her face. "Let me up doll." He moved her over on to her side of the bed. Brad hit the drain button on the tub. When it was empty. He turned the hot water back on. He grabbed his boxer briefs off the floor. Kayleigh appeared asleep when he walked back into their room. He leaned in and kissed her bare shoulder. She stirred and smiled at him. He scooped her up and carried her back to the tub. He sat her down in the warm water. He started to leave and she grabbed his arm.

"Where are you going?" she asked

"To make dinner" he said "I think I can handle pb&j. You take a quick bath. Then I swear we will snuggle."

" Promises Promise Marchand" she sassed. She began scrubbing up as he left the room laughing. After about 10 minutes of soaking she drained the tub. She toweled off and pulled on the henley shirt Brad had taken off. She needed to find her bag. Her multiple encounters with Brad today had destroyed her hair. Kayleigh unbraided it and shook out the waves. She padded barefoot through their apartment and found Brad making sandwiches. She smiled. Brad was in his boxers making a mess with peanut butter and jelly. How can any one human destroy a kitchen making peanut butter sandwiches. Only Brad.

"Need some help" she called from the archway of the kitchen.

"Nah" he said "I got this. I am used to the squirt kind of jelly. Not these little jars."

"My granny makes those" replied Kayleigh "I use them in a lot of cupcakes. That one is my favorite it's peach."

"And you say us Canadian's are partial to maple syrup."

Kayleigh smiled at him. "I guess so eh?"

"Nope" he said "Just sounds weird." Brad poured to glasses of milk and handed her one "There is strawberry and chocolate syrup in the pantry. I had the housekeeper pick it up."

Kayleigh leaned over and kissed him. He tasted like peanut butter. "Sneaking peanut butter" she asked.

"Maybe" he said stealing a second kiss. "stealing my shirt, doll."

"Maybe" she replied. She put the jelly in the fridge. As she was putting the peanut butter away in the cabinet she heard him groan. "what?"

Brad didn't answer but instead pulled her over to him. He kissed her and slid his hand up her legs. His hands met her bare ass. Brad smacked it.

"Ow" said Kayleigh.

"Want me to kiss it make it better" he asked wiggling his eye brows.

"Absolutely not" she said "I am at my daily limit."
"I was gone for an entire week" he pouted. They were standing at the kitchen counter eating.

"And you have more than made up for that. Plus it's after midnight. No sex on game days. Not messing with the juju."

"My juju likes you." replied Brad. She smacked his shoulder.

"I need sleep Marchand" They finished their make shift dinner while discussing her moving in. Clean up was simple since he used paper towels instead of plates. She wiped off the counter as he tossed their glasses in the dishwasher. He swept Kayleigh off her feet again.

"Damn it Brad" she fussed "I can walk."

"I know but I like holding you" he replied tossing her over his shoulder. She pulled at his shirt as it rode up. He laughed. He tossed her on the bed with a bounce. He hit the remote to shut the blinds. He killed all the nights but the lamp on his side. Kayleigh was snuggled into the blankets with her head on his pillow. Brad turned on Once Upon A Time. They had started it from the beginning so he could figure it all out. After he crawled in she laid her head on his chest. She was lazily drawing patterns on his abs.

"I love you" said Kayleigh.

"Love you more" he respond. She smiled at him before snuggling closer. Brad was playing with the ends of her hair watching the Evil Queen. It took less than an episode before she was asleep. He fell asleep before figuring out if David and Emma knew their real identity.
