Moving into the house at 15 Summerhill Court was perhaps the first thing that happened that was on a monumental scale in the lives of the nine naval officers (eight former and one currently serving) and one Marine officer. In fact none of them could really believe their good fortune that the amassed fortune that they had accumulated from not having spent much of their money at all while serving their country had amounted to enough to buy this home. Needless to say they were all very happy that this came about. Having spent the first afternoon having water balloon fights while the house was being built, they ended up moving into the new house shortly thereafter - (they must have one incredibly fast build team). It was an eye-opener to see so much living space as well as the ability to be able to add on to the building at leisure. The walls were unfinished however it did allow them to take their time to figure out just what worked on the walls and what wouldn't.
The former work-mates took a long moment for their new home to fully register in their minds and took that time to take advantage of some of the amenities that the house offered.
The fish pond
The basketball court - with two hoops. However Mac got into it with Jennifer a little because Mac thought Jen was a little too close to Harm for Mac's liking. Well, too bad, Mac, Jen is an officer now and frat-regs don't apply any more.
It was definite that Jen loved the place.
Mac, being the stoic Marine, was a lot more subdued with regards to the new home, but even despite her dispassionate veneer, she was definitely liking the place. Of course there were things that were still needed, like a few more beds. But to a bunch of fitness nuts like the ex-military officers were, they loved the new gymnasium.
Meg instantly gravitated towards the gym and started working out with Harm not far behind. Tosh went to sleep and when he woke up, he decided to play the piano - at least those music lessons were good for something.
It was nice to have several pianos
Before he'd gone to sleep, Haruo had made some grilled salmon which Meg gladly partook of the leftovers.
Mac however was too excited by the new house to go to sleep by herself and complained vociferously of the fact that she was tired, enough that the Creator had to send her upstairs and off to bed on her own.
The fountain in the front added an element of white noise that allowed the traffic (not that there was much to begin with) noise to not interfere with their enjoyment of the home. And on top of that, the fountain was pretty to look at considering the fact that it was a two dome fountain.
Kimber had been wanting to corner Tosh for a long time, ever since she'd taken the reins as XO of the VF-41 Black Aces that she'd squelched down the feelings for him due to not wanting to tank both of their careers in an Article 133 (Conduct Unbecoming an Officer and a Gentleman (or Lady as it may be). After taking a swim in the pool in some rather revealing swimwear she came in from the pool to find Tosh just finishing up his shower. Suffice it to say that she was completely undone and her last shred of resistance ground under her feet as she took advantage of the situation.
Tosh had absolutely NO idea what hit him. All he saw was a rather skimpily clad former female XO that he'd served with who had a lasciviously hungry expression on her face...leaning in to close her body with his. He had an absolutely confused and perhaps petrified expression on his face.
Kimber's hands were ALL over him in less than a second. And frankly all rational thought left him after that. Was that the chaste Commander Kimber Benton doing those things that defied all description to him? His brain just overheated and combusted. The only thing he could utter was "Ooooh...Kimber..."
To say that it got "hot" in that shower was an absolute understatement.
To get his heartrate back down to normal, Tosh went to the kitchen and started cooking dinner. But he couldn't keep his mind off his former XO who had just made him think thoughts that would have put him in Leavenworth if he had acted on them during his time in service.
Kimber however had other ideas of her own that she planned to hatch with her former commanding officer and to keep him all hot and bothered, she came out of the bathroom in some rather skimpy attire. Meg just shook her head rolling her eyes and went back to eating the veggie burger that Tosh had cooked up. Purring "thanks" at Tosh, Kimber availed herself of a plate and started eating as well.
When Kimber was done, she turned around and walked over to Tosh and said with a bright smile, "That was delicious." Tosh wasn't sure what she was referring to: the meal or what they had done in the shower. Either way his braincells were done for the evening. Kimber had a deliciously mischievous twinkle in her eyes, a "come hither" look that spoke of more delicious fun planned and the slightly parted lips and the twitch of her nostrils had Tosh focusing more on the small hints. (Frankly he is so dense that he doesn't recognize that look of "Oh...G..Tosh give me your babies" - Oh MY...)
She hugged him and the electrical feeling that Tosh felt when he felt her arms wrap around his shoulders and neck as she drew in closer pretty much short-circuited what remained of his brain.
"I need to tell you something..." she said softly as she gazed deeply into Tosh's eyes.
They were so engrossed in each other that they hadn't even noticed that Meg had left the table and was heading upstairs. Their eyes were locked on each other.
"You know how long I've waited to tell you this..." Kimber began as she searched Tosh's reaction written in his face of surprise. "I couldn't tell you this before...because we were in uniform. But..."
