I Didn't Think It Would Happen Like This

Ansel coughed and couldn't help but grin.

"A nice view."

He informed Brooke with a rather amused glint in his eyes. You couldn't entirely blame him.

/ Then believe me when I tell you that I'm in love with you. Your mine. I'm yours. We're alright, darling /

"I only wear clothes that fit both of my forms."

Nora hummed, much easier to convince than his other partner.

/I believe you /

Speaking of the other partner, she seemed to have wandered off. Rosie was sitting on the couch watch TV.

Ansel kinda needed the easy win, looking to Taylor.

"Spandex? "

He could handle spandex boobies as consolation prize? He was a guy?

" though.... if it's a cost thing, I'd happily fund the shirt replacement account? "

She laughed and stood straight, gesturing to the loose button down she was wearing with buttons undone nearly all the way to her navel, under which she was braless. There was a generous amount of skin showing.

"Is this really that disappointing?"

Ansel shook his head, shifting to steal a much less shy kiss with this version of Taylor.

"No. It's delightfully enriching my enjoyment of the present environment. "

Post by **Sushi** » Mon Sep 23, 2024 8:11 pm

Taylor grabbed the front of his shirt to draw her own kiss out of him.

"Then how about you leave the fashion decisions to me?"

Post by **Tree** » Mon Sep 23, 2024 8:26 pm

Ansel grinned down at her, kissing her forehead.

"Who am I to deny a woman her happiness and freedom of expression? "

Especially her choices were align with his own preferences

She chuckled and brushed a finger under his chin.

"Good boy"

Post by **Tree** » Mon Sep 23, 2024 8:37 pm

Ansel shook his head..

"Hopeless flirty, milady. "

He breathed easily, pulling Nora's hand up to his lips to place a kiss there..

/ What do you have planned for today? /

Post by **Sushi** » Mon Sep 23, 2024 9:10 pm

/I was thinking about going to the mall, but I'm not married to the idea./

Post by **Tree** » Mon Sep 23, 2024 9:14 pm

/Hmmmm, I'll think on it. /

"Do you enjoy shopping? "

He asked of Taylor, glancing over her thoughtfully... though he was solidly distracted an extra second or two appreciating the view.

Post by **Sushi** » Mon Sep 23, 2024 9:18 pm

Taylor cocked a hip, chuckling.

"I'm always down for market research."

Post by **Tree** » Mon Sep 23, 2024 9:23 pm

Ansel snickered, glancing to Brooke who was bouncing a bit.

"I'll take you out, just the two of us tomorrow around lunch, how's that sound? "

Eh, skipping school a tiny bit wasn't a harm, right?

/ Well then, it sounds like your mall idea could be a good way for you and Taylor to get more casually acquainted? /

And of course he could spoil them a bit too?

Post by **Sushi** » Mon Sep 23, 2024 9:27 pm

"yes!"

She clapped.

"Can we get snacks?"

/... Fine, I'll go on a playdate with your new girlfriend./

Nora eyed Taylor, who was watching them expectantly.

Post by **Tree** » Mon Sep 23, 2024 9:34 pm

Ansel smiled.

"As my little princess wishes, I'm happy to fulfill. "

He agreed, unable to help how he melted at her delight. He turned to Nora and kissed her.

"Easy."

He soothed, shaking his head as he watched Nora go. Hopefully he wasn't going to need to explain the layers there to Taylor.

/ And she's technically only a girlfriend half the time. /

He corrected with a mental chuckle.

/ There's no threat to your place, darling. Do you really feel so displaced? /

Or was this more like.... kitten fluffing?

"yay! You're gonna push me on the swing and we're gonna get ice cream and pizza and a slushie."

She was ticking off her grand plans on her fingers.

/I'm fine. You're the one being weird about your... They friend./

Post by **Tree** » Mon Sep 23, 2024 9:47 pm

Ansel coughed, snickering.

"Well it looks like you might need at least one more button and I'm gonna need shoes. "

And Nora straight up needed outside the house wear, but given her hedgehog vibes he wasn't gonna mention it.

".... maybe not a slushie."

He was still iffy after cleaning up slushie puke.

Post by **Sushi** » Mon Sep 23, 2024 10:02 pm

Taylor raised a brow.

"I thought we just settled questions about my wardrobe?"

Brooke shrugged and got up, wandering off. A few seconds later she could be heard whispering to Rosie.

"You should ask Daddy for a slushie."

"But I'm watching the puppies."

Post by **Tree** » Mon Sep 23, 2024 10:04 pm

Ansel snickered as he watched Nora head of to change, reaching to pull Taylor to him, kissing her with a bit more heat now that they weren't being watched by the kids.

/Mmmhmm, because if I had my way, milady.... well. Clothing isn't really anything but dusting for the floor. /

But with a few minutes of hot kisses he would let her go to manage getting properly ready to head out himself.

/then you can store all this talk about buttons./

Willow had wandered back to the bedroom and was staring through the door into the closet thoughtfully. She did move so he could what he needed, though. Taylor only needed time to put on a long, flowy vest and some shoes. Nora didn't take terribly much longer than that.

Post by **Tree** » Mon Sep 23, 2024 10:33 pm

Ansel looked at his wife as he returned, dressed and straightened up as his eyes roamed over her. He moved to his love, kissing her forehead.

"I love you. "

Post by **Sushi** » Tue Sep 24, 2024 9:29 am

Still twisting her ring around and around her finger, she glanced up at him. She even offered him a smile, albeit a weak one.

"Have a good day."

Her eyes turned back to the closet. She had a lot to think about, if her busy mind was any indication.

Post by **Tree** » Tue Sep 24, 2024 9:46 am

Ansel smiled at her, kissing her tenderly, hand cupping her jaw as his fingers lightly coiled into her hair.

/I will if Nora can settle down and realize I'm not replacing anyone. You're both very secure in your hold on my heart./

He stole slow, little kisses now , happy to love her and be with her moment.

"I love you, so much."

Post by **Sushi** » Tue Sep 24, 2024 11:28 am

Willow slowly relaxed under his attention, eyes falling half-lidded and fingers hooking into his belt loops.

/She can't help it,/ she reminded him gently.

That was the reason her harm didn't count.

"I love you too."

Post by **Tree** » Tue Sep 24, 2024 11:42 am

/I know... I know.... but it hurts to see her so insecure. I didn't intend to ruffle feathers.../

He'd had good intentions with inviting Taylor here to fold into the family. He kissed at Willow's jaw, nuzzling into the crook of her neck.

" Would you like to come along? "

He invited her with soft intentions, pulling back to watch her. She could pick which ever way she liked. He was on the fence of certainty of offering, the nerves of her thinking it was not a genuine invite or her being insulted with him was impossible to miss. He adored his wife and didn't want to leave her out of anything she'd find joy in.

Post by **Sushi** » Tue Sep 24, 2024 11:50 am

Willow smoothed out a wrinkle in his shirt as she shook her head.

"No. Go have a good time."

Her mood had lifted a little from when he first came in, and the offer didn't cause any change.

Post by **Tree** » Tue Sep 24, 2024 12:10 pm

Ansel smiled at her, kissing her nose as he nodded a bit.

"Alright. If you're sure. Call me if you need or want anything, kay? "

Post by **Sushi** » Tue Sep 24, 2024 5:26 pm

Willow nodded, even if she was a little uncertain about the suggestion.

"I should be fine, though."

Post by **Tree** » Tue Sep 24, 2024 5:31 pm

"Oh I'm sure that Rosie would call the entire calvary if she thought her mommy needed it. "

The pride and affection there was unmistakable. He loved his family and couldn't really be happier.

Post by **Sushi** » Tue Sep 24, 2024 5:54 pm

She wouldn't let that happen. She was glad he was happy, though, so she just patted his chest once and then drifted back towards the closet.

"Things will be fine here."

Nora and Taylor were waiting on him. Nora was telling Taylor about the types of shops around and which ones were her favorites. In truth, they might plan the entire outing without him if he took too long.

Post by **Tree** » Tue Sep 24, 2024 5:58 pm

Ansel looked fairly delighted to find the two getting along so well. He easily slipped an arm about Nora, kissing the top of her head.

"Ah, I can hear it now. "

He teased, grinning as he made a tiny little cash register sound.

Post by **Sushi** » Tue Sep 24, 2024 6:08 pm

Nora swatted him lightly.

"Nonsense. We're too far away for even vampire ears," she retorted with intentional oversight.

Post by **Tree** » Tue Sep 24, 2024 6:18 pm

Ansel chuckled, nodding as he shifted to lace his free hand with Taylor's.

"Darling lovely women, let's get you two to feel like the princesses you certainly are. "

Post by **Sushi** » Tue Sep 24, 2024 6:42 pm

"princess isn't really my vibe, but I'm down for the ride."

Taylor's eyes flashed silver with excitement.

Nora tugged on him.

"Less talk. More action."

Post by **Tree** » Tue Sep 24, 2024 6:45 pm

Ansel chuckled as he nodded towards the approaching limo.

" Well get in the car, milady. "

/ Yes. I can see that...../

He settled between the women in the backseat, kissing Taylor's hand as he relaxed.

/ Really, you're giving domination sort of vibes. /

Post by **Sushi** » Tue Sep 24, 2024 7:12 pm

Taylor burst out laughing.

"There is a middle ground, you know."

She looked around the car.

"Swanky."

Nora lounged with a smug little smile.

Post by **Tree** » Tue Sep 24, 2024 7:18 pm

/ Nonsense. All in is the best way. /

He imparted with a flirty wink as he looked over Nora.

"My love delights in the adoration and pampering. "

Post by **Sushi** » Tue Sep 24, 2024 7:23 pm

"and you love the results," Nora quipped.

/Is this your way of asking me to manhandle you?/Taylor teased easily, walking her fingers up his chest.

Post by **Tree** » Tue Sep 24, 2024 7:26 pm

Ansel watched the fingers, unable to help his smirk.

/ Well, if you did it would certainly be a new experience on my end./

"Damn right. You're hot as hell and I can't imagine not keeping you and having you drip class and sex appeal."

Because it was what made -Nora- happy. He wanted his women happy.

Post by **Sushi** » Tue Sep 24, 2024 7:35 pm

Nora leaned towards him, letting her crossed leg drape across his lap. She was not about to be outdone.

"Sounds like the perfect arrangement to me."

Taylor chucked.

/I'll file that away for later./
