It was a long day spent in bed, motivated by the previous day when they had so joyously tested out the furniture with their bodies. Gina smiled, remembering some of the adventurous things they did and how exhausted they had been after.
     She glanced at Knox and realised his exhaustion was still bone deep because he was still fast asleep. She smiled and watched as he innocently slept, his features at ease, making him look so entirely peaceful. Gina gently placed her fingers to his bare chest and began playing with the soft curls that was splayed out moderately across his abdomen.
    Few minutes of just laying there, admiring him, remembering how good of a man he was, despite his fucked up ways of showing it, Gina got up and headed for the bathroom intent on taking a shower.

She spent sometime under the blasting spray, allowing the warmness to beat away her exhaustion until she had gotten her fair share. Just as she turned it off, she heard Knox shuffling around in the bedroom. She quickly wrapped herself in a robe and opened the door to join him.

     "Hey, beautiful. Took a shower without me?" he asked, gaze roaming.

Walking towards him, she said, "I didn't want to wake you. You slept so peacefully." she tipped on her toes a little and kissed him quickly on the lips, knowing that if she made it linger, Knox wouldn't let it stop at just that.

    "I'm starving," Gina sighed, plopping down on the bed, watching as Knox's gaze followed her like he was famished himself, but for something else. "What would you like to eat?" Gina asked.

Knox groaned. "My body isn't reacting well to that question, babe," he muttered.

Gina looked towards him. Knox wore a devious smile before his gaze dropped low. Gina's eyes widened as her eyes made contact with the bulge in his boxers.

       Gina choked out a laugh. "You are a beast!"

He chuckled, walking towards her. "Blame yourself for being so God damned irresistible."

Gina stood and he stood before her, his eyes telling a tale of what he wanted to do. She made the first move and pressed her body to his and kissed him tenderly, stirring the passion within her. Knox reached out and wrapped his hands around her but then Gina tore her lips apart and pried his hands off.

        "I'm going to get us some food and you're going to take a shower, preferably a cold one," she winked.

    "Come on, sweetheart. Don't leave me like this!" Knox protested, a pitied expression on his face.

   Gina grinned, reaching for the brochure. "We have paint class at one which leaves us with about forty five minutes to go. Get moving mister," she said, slapping him on the butt and biting her lips while smiling.

      Knox made a face. "Paint?"

Gina shrugged. "Yeah, I'm curious..."

   "I hope they know we didn't come here to improve our artistic skills," he murmured, reaching for his robe.

     "Improve?" she asked humorously. "Did you have any to begin with?"

Knox chuckled and began to walk towards the bathroom when he paused. "Hey, do you think I did the right thing by giving my phone up?"

Gina made a face. "Ofcourse! Are you worried you'll miss an email or something?"

He rose a brow and sent her flat look. "Not at all, but what if April tries to call or if there's an emergency?"

    Gina understood his concern and felt a little guilty for thinking the most important thing he had in mind was an email. Ofcourse there was April whom he cared a whole lot about.

       "Ok we'll go to the front desk later and ask for an emergency call to check up. I'm sure they'll understand."

Knox nodded with a smile. "Sounds like a plan."

*****

An hour later after eating and being assured April was fine, both Knox and Gina arrived late for their class. A young lady was at the front while couples sat attentively, listening to what she had to say. Upon their entry, all eyes turned in their direction.

The woman smiled. "You must be Gina and Knox. Welcome and please take a seat," she said, gesturing towards an empty carpet.

Timidly, Knox and Gina approached, smiling their greetings to those present, before taking a seat on the carpet. Gina's interest piqued; she saw no easle present.

She glanced curiously at Knox who shrugged, knowing what her questioning look meant.

     "So as I was saying, the point of this activity is to add a little interest to the bedroom. Today we are going to use edible paint to create something on our partner's body."

Gina and Knox glanced at each other skeptically, while muttering began to float around the room.

     "Trust me, it is guaranteed fun. For today we're going to pick any g-rated part of the body to paint. You guys can remove your tops."

Luckily for Gina, she was wearing a fitted top and a bra.  She removed her top and was left in her bra while Knox sat bare, a grin on his face.

     "What?"

      "I already know what I'm gonna paint."

     "Tell me!" she said, nudging him in the rib.

   He laughed. "Now, what would be the fun in that," he winked, taking some of the paint that was passing around.

Gina huffed out a breath and Knox grinned. "Don't worry. Your body is already a masterpiece. There's not much I can add or subtract from it."

Gina blushed and kissed him on the cheeks.

      "Ok everyone, time to show your artistic and romantic side. You may begin."

      "Come on picasso, let's see what you can do," she said, laying down while Knox prepared himself to paint.

     "Mmm. Blueberry...caramel, strawberry. Which is your favorite, honey?" he asked, a smile on his face. Gina knew he was up to something.

    "You're the artist, sweetheart. You choose."

Knox held back his laughter and began to pour some from the tube onto her skin. Gina briefly held her breath when the cool liquid touched her. He started with his doodling just below her breast.

Gina laid there, wondering what he was really doing. She tried to process the directions in her head but was still unsure. When she realised that was futile, she gave up and glanced across to the others who seemed so engrossed in what they were doing.

     "Oops!"

   Gina's head snapped to Knox's direction. "What's wrong?" she asked.

     "I made a mistake," he humored.

Gina sent him a flat stare. "So wipe it off then."

     "With what?"
  
    Gina knew he was just intentionally making trouble but it was hard to humor him when she didn't know what was up her sleeve.

      "Your hand."

        "Nah, I can think of more exciting ways. It's edible, right?" he rose as brow, mischief in his gaze.

Realising where he was headed, Gina slightly eased up and whispered. "You're not licking me off in public."

Knox chuckled. "Come on sweetheart, don't be shy," he winked and dipped his head to her stomach.

Gina released a breath, but there was no denying the heat that crept up in her body. The feeling of his warm, wet tongue, forming lines, creating circles on her skin.

     "Now here we have a creative couple!" the instructor exclaimed with humor to her tone while every one's eyes briefly turned to watch Knox do his dirty deed. "And this is what we encourage guys; spontaneity and creativity," she went on to say before Gina began to grin, seeing the smug smile on Knox's face.

Placing a brief kiss to her cheek, he eased up. "I'm done."

     "Ok let's see what team Gina and Knox have here," she announced, everyone easing up to see what was done.

Gina stood and immediately the mutterings began, amusing stares and a bit of laughter. Glancing down at herself, a few things were indecipherable, but there was one thing she could make out and that's the circle around her belly button.
She sent Knox a flat stare, but smiled nonetheless.

     "Ok Knox. Why don't you explain what you have here?" the cheerful instructor exclaimed.

Knox cleared his throat. "Well I think it's pretty obvious that these..." he said, pointing just below her bra, "are icecream cones." He smiled when realisation began to dawn on the faces of those present. "Without the bra, and even with, the icecream is well...once again pretty obvious."

Mouth widening in astonishment, Gina gave him a gentle shove while Knox and everyone else laughed.

    "And..." he continued, voice tainted with mirth. "This is a donut and her belly button is the donut hole. I had a better place in mind, but that's not for public viewing. Strictly PG."

Once again, laughter erupted amongst the crowd, including Gina who blushed a deep red but couldn't help being amused by Knox and his charms.

      "Excellent. Everyone please give them a hand!"

Gently pulling Gina towards him, Knox smiled while he reveled in his glory. Turning to Gina, he kissed her on the lips and whispered, "let's see if you can beat that, honey."

Gina laughed and more than the challenge Knox presented, she was just extremely happy to be there with him...

To be happy with him.
