Tippy’s Note: This was a response to a couple of requests I got from this list on Tumblr. I have been liking branching out to do other pairings that are not Liam and Halle (though I am planning a massive fic series with those two, so I am not over them). Anyway, I didn’t intend for this to go smutty but here we are.
Zig groaned as he sat his bookbag down in the apartment he shared with his girlfriend, Asha. He had just returned from football practice and very thankful that he didn’t have to go work a shift at the coffee shop. His shoulders were tight. His back ached. Everything was sore. He thought the days of feeling decimated by practice were behind him but Chris proved him wrong today.
Asha was sitting on their sofa, tapping away at her laptop. Her glasses were glued to the screen as she tucked her feet underneath her.
“Hey baby,” flatly greeted him without looking up from her screen. “How was your day?”
Zig groaned in response. He dragged himself over to the sofa and eased himself down with an audible wince. Hearing that made Asha take her attention away from the words on the screen to her boyfriend next to her.
“Practice was that rough today?” She asked. Asha removed her glasses so she can take a better look at him. Even though Zig took a shower at the gym to wash the sweat and mud he accumulated during practice, the new sweat from the walk back to their apartment made his shirt cling to him the way that Asha liked.
“I appreciate you appreciatin’ me, but I am sore baby.” Zig groaned as he felt Asha’s gaze.
“We should do something about that. Especially when you have practice again on Thursday.”
Zig cringed at the thought.
Asha leaped off of the sofa to get something from her bag. Zig slightly craned his neck so that he can see what she was doing. She padded back with a small, shiny teal envelope.
“Lucky for you and your sore bones, I got a gift certificate to the spa.”
“You did, did you?” Zig said as an eyebrow quirked up. He examined the small envelope. “Where did this little gift come from?”
“Well, Kassidy gave it to me after introducing me to Kaitlyn’s band.”
His eyes narrowed. “I thought that was how you got the curtains?”
“Well, she gave me these a few days later,” Asha clarified. “She wasn’t going to use them, and it’s not like she can’t afford a spa day.”
“So she wanted to give it to you because you can’t get yourself to the spa.”
Asha let out an exasperated sigh. “It’s not like that, Zig. She just wanted to be nice.”
“Well you go enjoy the spa, and I will make it to our tub eventually.”
“What are you talking about? I am giving this to you.”
“I don’t want Kassidy’s handouts,” he said handing the envelope back to Asha.
“It’s not a handout, it’s a gift.” Asha rebutted, pushing the envelope back into Zig’s chest. He turned his head away from her. She laid her head on his abdomen, he tensed at the added weight.
“I’ll go with you. Just imagine us relaxing in a pool of calming bath salts. Blissed out and relaxed,” she explained. Her arm outstretched as she painted a picture of their experience. “You are not sore anymore.”
A small grin developed on Zig’s face imagining his reprieve from his current uncomfortable state.
Asha looked up at him. “Who knows how I’ll feel when I am so relaxed.” She caressed his thighs, emphasizing her point.
He perked up. “Relaxed, eh?”
Asha nodded and continued to caress him. She leaned over to kiss him when he recoiled back in pain.
“I can’t do anything until your sore muscles have been worked out. Whaddya say?”
“Okay,” Zig relented.
“Yes!”
Asha quickly changed, and they both got into an Uber headed for the spa. Once there Zig got a full-body, deep tissue massage. Asha got a stone massage that ended with the masseuse giving her a hand massage that made her feel like she got new hands. Her massage finished early, so she was hanging out in one of the herbal aromatherapy baths waiting for him. Asha exhaled loudly, resting her back on the edge of the tub. She closed her eyes, inhaling the calming scent of jasmine and chamomile take over her senses and the sound of the water drift her mind away.
“Hey,” Zig whispered into Asha’s ear. He kissed her temple as she stirred.
Asha sleepily replied, “Hey. How are you feeling?”
“Like a new man.” He ran his hand over Asha’s hair. “Thank you for convincing me to go.”
“You’re welcome.” Asha looked down into the water. “I guess you are here to convince me to leave.”
“We could do that, or we could go into the sauna really quickly before we leave.”
“I guess we should head into the sauna.”
Asha stepped out of the soaking tub and put her robe on. In the sauna, Zig was sitting on the bench with Asha next to him. His back was against the wall, and her head was on his shoulder as the steam surrounded them. Asha’s fingers languidly drew shapes on his knee. As the minutes passed, her fingers got bolder, going higher and higher along his thigh.
“Asha?”
“What? I’m not doing anything,” her fingers continued to travel up his thigh. “Yet.”
She looked up at Zig, his hooded eyes calling to her. A bead of sweat forming on his chin. Before it could drop and trail down his muscular chest, Asha kissed his chin, letting the taste of his sweat hit her tongue. She pulled back with a sheepish smile on her face. Zig cupped her face as he pulled her in for a kiss. Asha parted her lips so that Zig could deepen the kiss. Like every other time she and Zig kissed, she felt herself yearn for more. She wanted to explore more of him, to have him envelop her entirely. Asha straddled him grinding her hips on him as their kiss took on a more ravenous nature. Before they could take things further, Zig pulled back.
“Asha, this is great and all, but it’s kind of hot in here, and it’s getting me kind of lightheaded. Let’s go back to the tub and soak.”
Asha smiled as she climbed off of Zig. She tried not to look him in the eye, so he didn’t see her disappointment.
They walked back to the soaking tub arm in arm. Zig removed his robe and entered the tub and then guided Asha in. She relaxed in his arms, her back against his chest. Zig ran his hands along the lengths of her arms. She shivered as he touched her.
“Close your eyes and relax,” Zig whispered in her ear. She didn’t respond, but she did as he asked.
Zig’s hands continued to travel her body as he kissed and sucked on her neck. Asha bit her lip. Zig hands moved from her arms to her breasts. He massaged them, his thumbs working on her nipples feeling them harden by his touch. He moved his kisses to the other side of her neck as his hands traveled lower to the inside of her thighs. Asha inhaled deeply as Zig’s hands spread her legs open and his hands moved closer to her center.
He put a palm on her and stopped. She looked up at him before she could ask why he stopped Zig said, “I am going to keep going, but you have to keep your volume under control. We don’t want to get kicked out.”
Zig started rubbing her core again effectively stopping Asha’s rebuttal. Her eyes initially were wide before they closed. He got a thrill watching Asha want to start an argument and end it this way. Watching her become undone by his touch never got old for him. He slipped two fingers inside of her. He stroked her g-spot from the inside and her clit from the outside. Her breathing became ragged as pleasure built within. She let out a long moan as her body went slack in his arms.
“Asha” he softly warned in her ear. She could hear the smile in Zig’s voice as his hand moved faster and she got closer. He nibbled on her earlobe and then trailed his kisses down her neck. She bucked into his fingers to bring herself over the edge. Asha was desperate to cum. Zig used his free hand to pinch her nipple which sent her over the edge. Her body spasmed as her orgasm took over. Zig muffled her cry with a kiss. White noise filled her ears.
As Asha’s body calmed down after reaching its peak, Zig smiled. She adjusted herself closer to him, and he held her.
They didn’t stay too long in the spa, they had to go home and return to their regular lives. In the Uber ride back, Asha and Zig discussed how they were going to make room in their budget to come back one more time before the semester ends.
