Steph waved her hand at Alexis. "I'm fine. It takes more than being tied to a chair and gagged to bring me down."

Alexis shuddered. She didn't like being tied to a chair.At all.

The nurse came, cleaned Alexis's wound and told them they could go. She handed Jack a paper with a list of complications to watch for in regards to her concussion.

Steph dropped them at the hotel and Jack carried her all the way to the penthouse. As promised, he ran them a hot bath, setting her on the toilet, so he was within touching distance as he filled the tub.

He removed their clothes, throwing everything in the trash. "I don't know about you, but I don't ever want to wear that suit again."

Alexis knew exactly what he meant. She felt dirty and couldn't wait to climb into the tub. She sat in front of him, relaxed against his chest while he washed every inch of her.

They climbed into bed, and Alexis was so exhausted, she fell instantly asleep.

She was awakened by little, nibbling kisses on her shoulder. "Time for your question," Jack murmured between pecks.

"Okay," she said stretching under the covers.

"What do you see with?"

"That's a strange question."

Jack lightly bit her shoulder. "Just answer it."

Alexis giggled. "Eyes."

"Good. Now, go back to sleep."

He woke her the next time by nibbling on her neck. "Time for your next question."

Alexis groaned. "I'm tired."

"You can go back to sleep in a minute, but first you need to answer my question."

Alexis sighed, "Okay, what is it."

Jack attached her neck. "Don't sound so excited."

Alexis laughed. "Okay, okay, what is it?"

"What rhymes with dove?"

Alexis went through the alphabet in her head until she came to a word that rhymed with dove. "Glove?"

Jack chuckled. "Wrong answer."

Alexis thought a few seconds more. "Love!"

Jack kissed her neck. "Good." He pulled her in close. "Go back to sleep."

The next time she woke up, Jack was nibbling on her ear. "I'm detecting a theme here."

"I'm working my way to your lips."

"And when will you get there?"

"Next time. This is the last question. It's almost morning."

"Okay, fire away."
