It was late. Magnus could [i]feel[/i] it before even opening his eyes. The alarms had gone ignored, the amount of rest his body felt, the image of the sun being far past that of the early A.M. hours he had grown used to waking up with...

Shifting his body, Magnus then became aware of a second thing - rather, a body intertwined with his so closely, it took him a moment to figure out where he ended and the second body began. Once having taken stock of his limbs, his eyes fluttered open softly, the afternoon sunbathing both of their bodies in a soft light that had been filtered by a set of blinds, though still giving them warmth.

He turned his body slightly, his bare torso pressing up flat against the back of a woman's, also bare beneath the crimson sheet they had become entangled in. By the way he could feel her breathing against him, she was still sleeping. He could let her sleep for hours, if just to feel her body pressed so intimately to his. Unfortunately the day was half over, and there were things to be done.

He bent his head forward, pressing his lips to the exposed skin of her shoulder while he ran his hand delicately over her arm, underneath the sheet, and traced nonsense patterns into the soft flesh.

He then inched his body forward, closer into her, letting his weight be supported by his elbow on the bed and extended his head further, now kissing her neck, her cheek, and finally to her lips in a soft, good-morning kiss.

The warmth of the sun’s rays shining down over her body and filling her entire being from the core… the safety of his chest pressed close against her back, holding her ever so lovingly into him… the sweet touch of his lips upon her flesh, trailing gently, slowly until finally, they met with her own…

Stirring back to life as though he had pulled her from deep dark place, Elphaba shifted ever so slightly, her fingers curling just so over the sheets as she leant herself further back into his body, wanting nothing more than to be as close as she possibly could to him without seeming needy- two months… two months of nothing but pure bliss, and the truest love she had ever known in her life.

Nothing could compare…  nothing even came close.

Opening her eyes slowly, she blinked a couple of times, doing what she could to adjust to the light shining in through their bedroom window before she began to move, her body turning in his arms, not much though enough that she was able to look up at the man that held her oh so delicately as though she were a precious emerald that would shatter with just one wrong move- the thought had her chuckling softly in her mind, a gentle smile playing over her soft pink lips as she lifted her hand, her touch light as she caressed his cheek, her eyes soft and filled with nothing but love and adoration before finally, she closed the gap between them.

The kiss was soft… delicate; and saying it all: I love you. Pulling back after but those few moments of sheer happiness, she let her hand slip, her nails lightly trailing over his neck… his collarbone… until finally, it came to a rest on his bare chest, the beautiful engagement ring adorned upon her finger shining lightly in the sun’s light, [color=YellowGreen]“..morning Shang…”[/color]

Her lips graced his by her own volition, and he immediately felt his blood growing warmer. Two months ago he had proposed to Elphaba after years of her trying to decide whether or not her previous marriage was worth saving. But just days after she had made her decision, and informed him that she had left Nick for him, Magnus made it official by decorating her finger with an [url=http://www.vancaro.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/k/u/kuzuannrcxx-1.jpg]engagement ring[/url]. She was now his - finally. There was no rush for the actual wedding - Magnus had every intention of savoring every moment of their engagement together, but that didn't mean he couldn't plan a thing or two in the meantime.

[color=SteelBlue]"C'mon."[/color] He pressed his lips to her forehead briefly, soaking in the way her body felt pressed into his for a moment longer before he forced himself away a bit. [color=SteelBlue]"Unfortunately, we have to adult today. We've a Pinocchio to corner, for one, and I'm going to extend my help to Elsa for her little Snow Fest... after a nice, hot shower and quick breakfast."[/color] He couldn't help it - he kissed her forehead once more before begrudgingly pulling away even further, forcing his completely nude body off of the bed to walk towards their shared bathroom.

The sheets slipped from her torso, pooling upon her lap as she pushed herself up into a sitting position, her hands resting lightly over the mattress as she pouted her soft pink lips, her eyes sad though holding a playful glint to them as she watched him moving away from her and over to the bathroom they shared with one another, [color=YellowGreen]“..but Shang… I don’t want to adult today…”[/color]

Taking a few more moments to just watch him as he disappeared through the door, Elphaba finally gave in, her body twisting and her feet hitting the ground before she lifted herself up from the bed completely, the muscles in her stomach tensing and her back arching ever slightly as she brought her arms up, her hands coming together above her head so that she could stretch before following along in his footsteps, her hands reaching out to take a gentle hold of his sides as she entered the room before she pressed her naked body against his back, her chin resting lightly upon his shoulder.

[color=YellowGreen]“..but if we must; is this a shower for two..?”[/color]

[color=SteelBlue]"Hmm..."[/color] Magnus seemed to think the idea over with serious consideration, even going as far as to tuck one hand under his elbow and use his opposite hand to hold his chin, scratching at the stubble. [color=SteelBlue]"Well... I don't see why not..."[/color] Holding in a smirk, Magnus slowly turned in her arms until he was facing her, his deep brown eyes meeting with hers. His hands dropped, one moving to hold her lithe waist while the other pointed out a finger and playfully tapped her on the nose. [color=SteelBlue]"But only if you can promise to behave. Ancestors know how distracted I can get sometimes..."[/color] As if to prove his point, the thumb he had on her waist began to move back and forth against her skin.

[color=YellowGreen]“..mmm, I do… and by OZ you know I get just as distracted as you at times…”[/color]

Unable to help the small smirk that played over her lips as she felt his thumb toying with her flesh, Elphaba raised her arms, wrapping them purposefully and one by one around the back of his neck, pulling herself closer against his body until there was not even a trace of a gap left between the both of them- by OZ he was perfect… how it had taken her this long to make the choice they both knew to be the right one was far beyond her comprehension…

It was clear by her stubbornness to not let go of her old marriage that her adoptive mother had more than rubbed off on her during her youth…

Tilting her head lightly to the side, she inched herself closer, pausing… teasing for a moment before she let the tip of her nose gently brush against his own, [color=YellowGreen]“..now you think..? Or are you sure..? Cause I can always wait… maybe go spend the day at the spa; take some time in the sauna- you know, pamper myself, that way you get the shower all to yourself…”[/color]

[color=SteelBlue]"You are a wicked witch."[/color] Magnus chided towards her teasing, though rubbed his nose back against hers, sharing that moment in eskimo kisses. Moving his hand that had been tapping her nose earlier to hold the back of her head, he kept her there while he tilted his own head a bit and pressed his lips back to hers quietly.

[color=SteelBlue]"I'm sure."[/color] he said after a few moments, drawing away from their kiss. [color=SteelBlue]"Saves me a bit of money this way."[/color] he then added on, a clear jest. Being the owner of his own company that reached around world-wide, money was never an object of concern for him and by extension, Elphaba. [color=SteelBlue]"And after we find Pinocchio and at least [i]talk[/i] to him, you can enjoy all the spa time you want. It can't be coincidence that he's here too. Thirteen years without a word to anyone, and suddenly he shows up here? No, something is up, and we need to find out."[/color]

Magnus had ran into Jack by sheer accident just the once a few days ago. At first, Magnus took the youth to be just another tourist, here for the snowboarding, but after catching a glimpse of something familiar out of the corner of his eye, Magnus realized just who the boy was. Only a select few people were given an amulet after departing from Rivenspire to Earth - he and Elphaba, naturally, along with a few others. They had all kept in contact with one another over the years even though their lives took them to different parts of the world, and yet, when Magnus spotted the very same amulet hanging from around the boy's neck, he realized he had either found the missing guardian, or Pinocchio's amulet had been stolen (maybe even simply given away) and the youth he had ran into got his hands on it somehow. Either way, it was a start, and Magnus was determined to find out just what was going on. Pinocchio had a shit-ton of explaining to do.

Shaking his head, realizing quickly that business began to take his mind away from their intimate moment, Magnus gave Elphaba a small, apologetic smile and pulled his body away from hers just enough so that he could swing his hand back a bit and then playfully (and gently) slapped her across the ass, urging her forward.

[color=SteelBlue]"Alright. In you go. Hurry. Before I change my mind."[/color]

A soft yelp escaped through her lips as she felt his hand coming into contact with her bare flesh, causing for her to chuckle lightly before stepping forward, her body passing the through the glass door and into the rather roomy shower of the cabin the two of them had been calling home for the past few days now.

[color=YellowGreen]“Fine, fine… but let me tell you something mister-...”[/color] Turning on her heel, she lifted her hand up in front of her, beckoning him to come closer with her finger before she turned it round, her palm resting softly against the center of his chest as she leant in closer, the playfulness she had before still there though mixed with something more as she stared into his eyes, her own flashing lightly with what looked like tiniest flicker of green flames that couldn’t quite seem to ignite in the world of no magic they now lived in.

[color=YellowGreen]“..you have no idea how wicked I can be…”[/color]
