Thanks for stopping by! This is the second Sasha & Greg story I've written. The first is Ships Passing in the Night. These two will feature in more upcoming stories, so I thought I'd give you a little glimpse of their home life after their re-connection in Ships.
Greg put two wine glasses and a bottle of red on the coffee table. Sasha smiled at him eyeing the bottle.
"What's the occasion?" she asked.
The two didn't drink very often, so she wondered why her husband had brought out the bottle of wine.
"Nothing special, just the privilege of sharing an evening with my hot wife," Greg said sitting down next to her, planting a kiss on her warm neck.
Sasha smiled as she navigated to the newest episode of the baking show they had started watching religiously years ago. The jokes and bits were cheesy, and they had to have the subtitles on to understand some of the contestants' regional accents, but they loved it. The competition was less about winning and more about baking, which they both preferred over the hyper competitive and often mean-spirited American reality shows they had grown up with.
"Did you talk to Jasper today?" Greg asked.
"Hmm, no, why?" Sasha asked.
"Oh, Aaron called me. He and Jasper had this idea; a sort of reunion thingy they thought would be fun," Greg said.
"Like a class reunion? Why not just go to the one the school puts on?" Sasha asked.
"That's what I asked him," Greg said, as he poured some wine into each glass.
"And..." Sasha prompted.
"He said the only people he really wants to see are you and me," Greg said.
Sasha took her wine glass.
"He's not interested in seeing anyone from his major?" Sasha asked.
"He didn't really have any close relationships with anyone in his major Sash. He was always with us," Greg said. "Cheers!"
Greg clinked his glass to Sasha's. She smiled, pecked his lips quickly then sipped her wine, the silky, fruity liquid sliding over her tongue.
"I always wondered why he didn't just major in theatre," Sash mused.
"Kinda hard to become a lawyer with a theatre background," Greg said sipping his wine.
"I guess," she said. "What was he thinking for this reunion idea?"
Greg shrugged as Sasha cuddled into his side, holding the remote at the ready to start the episode.
"He's thinking California," Greg said. "A big group trip over there."
"California?" Sasha asked.
"His father-in-law has a house there. I think he's sort of fallen in love with the desert," Greg said. "Do you think you'd want to go?"
"Probably," she said with a shrug. "It would be nice to meet Aaron's husband, and see Jas settled down. He's been so into this woman he's been seeing...uhmm, Madison I think."
"It would be fun," he mused, running his fingertips over her shoulder. "If it's in the finances we could probably make it happen."
"California isn't too long of a drive we could make a road trip of it, fucking all along the way," Sasha looked at him, her eyes glittering playfully.
"Ha! Sure, Sash," he chuckled, kissing her lips slowly.
She grinned up at him as he pulled away.
"You know you'd love it," she grumbled.
His cheeks flushed, eyes darkening a bit, he leaned down and kissed her again, slowly. His tongue ran along her lips, and she parted them. They could taste the fruity tannins on each other's tongues as they twisted together. Greg's hand slipped up the side of Sasha's neck for a moment as he pulled away, brushing his fingers over her skin.
