Santa Visits Methos
(1/1)
22639:
Nikki finally finishes the first part of her surprise and quickly cleans up the mess. then she hurries upstairs to prepare for the second part of her Xmas gift to Methos.
Methos waves at Ally as he passes the courthouse and sees her park her car. He checks his watch as he keeps driving, the lunch between the two of them had taken longer than he expected and he's already late to do what he planned to do this afternoon. He sighs when he thinks that after this long lunch he didn’t feel like doing it anymore but it was that or unpacking some of the stuff, if he ever wanted to change place before New Year's Eve.
Methos: And to think you once carried everything you owned on a horse.
Methos grumbles to himself as he parks the car in front of his new home. He exits his car, locks it and walks to the front door. There he stops to look around when he feels the buzz of another Immortal.
Nikki feels the all too familiar strong Immortal buzz and smiles as she lays across the bed in Methos' bedroom.
Methos frowns at the door when he realizes it's coming from inside his place. He carefully opens the door, grabs the hilt of his sword and slowly walks inside, his back against the wall. It might be Nikki but he's not taking any chances. He purposefully slams the door and waits to see what happens next. He knows someone is in there.
Methos waits for a while and since nothing happens he ventures to take a side glance inside the living room. He blinks in surprise when he sees a Christmas tree, and wonders where did that come from.
Methos: Nikki? Is that you?
Methos asks out loud assuming an Immortal after his head wouldn't go through all this trouble to get him.
Nikki covers her mouth to muffle a giggle.
Methos 's frown deepens when again he doesn't get any kind of response. He notices some mistletoe sprigs on the floor that apparently formed a trail leading upstairs, and was it music he was hearing? He takes a good look inside the living room and seeing it's empty he decides to go upstairs and find out what's going on in here. Methos stops again when he reaches the landing between the two floors, he could tell now the music was an instrumental "White Christmas" and it was coming from his bedroom. He's beginning to suspect it's Nikki making him a surprise or at least he hoped it was. Still he goes up the rest of the stairs carefully, checking everywhere someone could be hiding, until he goes to the bedroom door. He knows there's not much place someone could hide there, so he opens the door and enters on his side with his back against the wall. He gasps at the vision, speechless for a moment.
Nikki: Merry Christmas.
Nikki says seductively. She is laying across his bed in a seductive pose.
Methos: Merry Christmas to you too.
Methos answers with a smile, he can't help to sigh in relief though as he puts his sword inside the lining on his raincoat again.
Methos: Want some company in there?
Methos asks as he pushes his raincoat back and the weight of the sword does the rest, so it slips to the ground.
Hanging on a long string from the ceiling is another sprig of mistletoe. A huge red ribbon and bow is wrapped around Nikki's waist.
Nikki: Santa said you've been a very good boy so you get to unwrap your present early.
Nikki says seductively.
Methos: I have?
Methos says with a smirk, amused she's gone through all this trouble to surprise him.
Methos: Then again I don't think I've killed anyone this year so I may qualify.
Nikki: Then what're you doing way over there?
Methos adds with a shrugs before he bends to unlace his boots, and pulls them off along with his socks.
Nikki says tauntingly.
Methos: Getting ready to unwrap my present, what else?
Methos chuckles softly as he walks to the bed, taking off his sweater on the way there.
Nikki 's heart begins to race and an exciting warmth slowly begins to move through her from her toes to her head.
Methos sits on the bed and slowly pulls one of the ends of the ribbon around Nikki's waist, eying her seductively as he does so, and studying her reaction at the same time.
As the ribbon slides off of Nikki a shiver of anticipation runs up her spine. She reaches over and cups her hand behind Methos' neck and pulls him towards her.
Methos lets Nikki pull him towards her and the bed, as their lips meet in a passionate kiss.
As Nikki returns his kiss with equal passion her hand moves to the waist band of his pants and begins to unbutton them.
Methos: Don't get me wrong, I love the surprise, but I think you're too dressed to the occasion.
Methos whispers against her lips as he begins to unhook one of her garters, before claiming her lips again.
Nikki moans softly as she lets Methos undress her then they melt into a world of slow, tender, loving passion.
****1 hour later****
Nikki falls back against the pillows...out of breath.
Nikki: Damn!
Nikki exclaims between gasps for breath.
Methos leans his head back on his pillow as his breathing slowly returns to normal. He smirks when he sees the ribbon Nikki had used on her, it was giving him some ideas.
Methos: So ready to unwrap your present?
Methos asks teasingly.
Nikki suddenly feels an Immortal buzz and she raises up and looks at Methos.
Nikki: You expecting company?
Nikki asks him.
Shortly after that, there's a knock at the door. The knock is insistent, whoever is on the other side won't take no for an answer. Amanda is standing outside, dressed fashionably as always, holding a wrapped package. It's obviously a bottle of something from the shape.
Nikki gets up and walks over to the bedroom window and looks down at the front steps. A grin comes across her face and she laughs.
Nikki: It's only Mand.
Nikki announces to Methos as she looks around for something to put on. The only thing she sees is his over sized sweater so she slips it on.
Methos: Just how did she find us here?
Methos grumbles as he jumps out of bed to look for his jeans. Then he gets out of the bedroom buttoning his jeans on the stairs to answer the door.
Nikki: Is that a problem? She is, after all, my best friend.
Nikki says as she follows him to the front door.
Methos looks at Nikki disbelievingly, before he opens the door. It had to be her.
Nikki: We're kind of a package deal.
Nikki adds.
Methos: Hello Amanda, nice timing... as usual.
Methos greets the Immortal standing on his doorway.
Nikki peeks over Methos' shoulder and waves to Amanda.
Nikki: Hi, Mand.
Amanda's a bit peeved, "Don't either of you keep something to answer the door with near your bed?" She says as she brushes by Methos, "It's also, cold. So let a girl inside already hmm?"
Nikki says with a sheepish smile.
Methos: Hmm someone would be near the door if you were invited?
Nikki giggles and steps back so Methos can step aside.
Methos says as he steps aside to let her in, looking at Nikki if she also had done that.
"Darling, it's hardly 6 PM. Don't be so prickly. And at least I don't have a sword in my hand."
Nikki ignores his look and walks up to Amanda when she's inside and gives her a European kiss on each cheek.
Methos rolls his eyes as he walks to the kitchen thinking about getting a beer and letting Nikki handle her for a change.
Nikki: What's in the package?
Nikki asks Amanda...pointing to the gift wrapped bottle.
Amanda hands Nikki the present, "It's for you both... not that Monsieur Grumpy would appreciate it. I'll be getting a hotel then."
Methos: No, come on in, have a drink, since when do you need an invitation anyway?
Methos takes a deep sigh as he decides to get some champagne glasses instead of getting a beer for himself.
Methos: You know MacLeod is in Paris, right?
Nikki takes the bottle from Amanda and carries it into the kitchen...her bare feet padding softly on the tile floor. She unwraps it and looks at the label.
Nikki: Mmmm....bubbly. The good stuff.
Methos asks as he looks inside one of the cupboards, he's sure he unpacked those already.
Nikki announces from the kitchen.
Nikki: Unfortunately there's no glasses. So I hope nobody minds sharing from the bottle.
"Of course I know Duncan's in Paris... he's with some... bimbo I don't know... and made it very clear I wasn't invited or very welcome."
Nikki says as she tries to uncork the bottle without a cork screw.
Methos: Really? Fast work Duncan.
Amanda hangs up her coat, and comes into the kitchen, her boot heels ringing on the tiles. "Here, there's a trick..." And she has the bottle open, laughing as a bit bubbles over.
Nikki: He's not with anyone. He went there to get away from a bimbo. In fact....she's one of yours, Mand.
Methos smirks as he gets some champagne glasses out of the cupboard.
One of Amanda's slim eyebrows goes up, "One of mine?"
Nikki: Yeah. You remember your student Michelle Webster?
Methos: Maybe he's with another bimbo in Paris, you never know with MacLeod.
"Oh her... she always had the hots for Duncan, even when she wasn't Immortal." Amanda dismisses her with a wave of her hand.
Methos shakes his head amused as he takes the bottle and begins to fill in the glasses.
Nikki: Yeah well....she's back in town and I guess he decided it would be safer to flee than stick around. I think it's kinda cowardly of him but....
Nikki says and shrugs.
Methos: There's more to it than you know.
Methos smiles mysteriously remembering that blonde MacLeod slept with when he got drunk.
Nikki: Where'd those come from?
Nikki asks Methos indicating the glasses.
Methos: One of the boxes?
Methos points in the direction of his living room.
Methos: Managed to unpack some things last night.
Nikki: Then I guess we don't have to share from the bottle. My mistake.
Nikki says and takes a glass from Methos.
Amanda: Spill it, Old Man... what is up with MacLeod?
Methos: What? Besides challenging me to a drinking contest? And losing, of course.
Methos chuckles amused remembering Joe's bachelor party, Richie got so drunk he spent the night sleeping on the floor. And MacLeod... He makes a face, he's not sure who he'd choose to change parts with.
Nikki sets her glass of champagne on the floor in front of one end of the sofa and walks over to the fire place and lights the kindling then tosses a log on it. She returns to the sofa, picks up her glass and curls up at that end of the sofa...pulling the bottom of Methos' sweater over her cold bare feet.
Methos walks to the living room and sits on the couch next to Nikki with a glass of champagne in his hand. "I could offer to warm you up but..." He nods in Amanda's direction.
Nikki tucks her bare feet under Methos' leg for warmth.
Amanda gets herself a glass of champagne, then follows the other two... she observes them for a moment. "Darlings, I'll leave you to your quiet evening at home. Nikki, call me tomorrow."
Methos: Maybe we can get together when my house is properly furnished?
Methos suggests raising an eyebrow at Amanda, he could have added "And you are invited?"
Amanda: Sounds like a plan, Adam. You two be good... I'll let myself out.
Methos: I'd tell you the same but why wish for the impossible?
Methos tell her with a smirk, contrary to Duncan MacLeod of the clan MacLeod, he wasn't planning to force anyone to change.
Nikki: That's my Mand. She breezes in and breezes out.
Nikki says with a giggle. She empties her glass of champagne and looks over at Methos.
Nikki: Now......where were we?
Methos: Can't believe you told her where I moved to.
Methos shakes his head with a sigh before he empties the rest of the champagne in his glass.
Nikki: Methos? Would you rather argue about that or continue where we left off?
Nikki asks him looking at him seriously.
Methos: Since you put it that way...
Methos gets to his feet, puts the empty glass on the desk and extends his hand to her.
Methos: I seem to recall you were about to unwrap your present.
Nikki takes Methos' hand and lets him lead her back upstairs so she can unwrap HER Christmas gift.
The End
Merry Christmas to all
