Gently, she tugged on Matt's arm and looked up at him smiling shyly, silently asking for him to let her go.
He shook his head at her and nuzzled her neck, not wanting to let her go yet.
"Matt" Layla giggled. "Come on, let me go. I want to show all of you something."
"Do I have to?" Matt asked, his lips slightly pouting.
"Mm hmm." Layla giggled again. He looked so cute when he pouted. Leaning up, she whispered into his ear, making sure that her lips brushed his ear lobe, "I promise it will be worth it." She felt elated as she felt a shiver run through his body when her lips touched him.
His eyes burning with lust and love, Matt slowly and reluctantly released her, but kept her hand in his, not willing to relinquish that small contact with her, and Layla didn't mind. In fact she was thrilled.
"Oh Wait!!! Close your eyes and stand here okay? I'll be right back to get you." Layla's eyes widened as she remembered what she'd forgotten to do.
"Layla, what's going on?" Lysander whined. He was curious at what Layla was about to show them, and he didn't want to wait any longer to find out.
"Please will you wait? Just a little while longer? Please?" She stared up at them, her lips slightly pouting and her eyes wide and pleading.
Seeing her look so damn adorable, the four of them couldn't help but groan.
"Alright cara, just don't make us wait too long." Damon whispered huskily into her ear, gently kissing her on the nose before pulling back to close his eyes and wait.
The others followed his example and stood there, hands in their pockets and just waiting. Except for Lysander. He was bouncing on his feet and swaying from side to side, unable to keep still.
Giggling Layla leaned up and gave each one of them a kiss along with a whispered "thank you." Before rushing off to the kitchen.
Quickly she opened the drawer where she'd found some candles and placed them in the middle of the dining table before lighting them. Then she took the bouquet of flowers she'd found outside in their living room,grabbed a rose, peeled off the petals and sprinkled them around the candles.
'Perfect' she thought, letting out an excited giggle.
Now to get my four men.
She hurriedly walked back to them and almost laughed out loud when she saw a cheeky Matt tickling Lysander with his eyes closed while Lysander grumbled and slapped his hands away. That did nothing to deter Matt however, and he continued trying to get his restless fingers onto Lysander's ribs.
She saw Rick peep at them before laughing while Damon whispered at them to stop, though he himself was grinning.
"Laaayyylaaaa! Save me!!!" Lysander called out, still slapping at Matt's hands with his eyes closed. In fact all four of them had no idea she was watching them, and trying her hardest not to laugh.
Quickly, she made sure they heard her walking towards them and was even more amused when Matt immediately retracted his hands from a squirming Lysander. He placed his hands behind his back and smiled sweetly and innocently with his eyes still closed.
She went to Lysander first and gently took his hands. "Layla? Layla!" Lysander cried out happily and engulfed her in a hug. "Matt wouldn't stop tickling me." He complained, then pouted. "Can I open my eyes now?"
Chuckling, Layla shook her head. "Nope, not yet. I'll tell you when you can open your eyes. I'm gonna lead all four of you somewhere now, so keep your eyes shut and I want you to trust me, can you guys do that?"
"We trust you with our lives cara." Damon said, his deep voice sending shivers down her spine, and her heart melted.
"Lysander you wait here okay? I'm gonna take Rick first." Layla whispered to Lysander.
"What? You're gonna leave me here? With Matt?" Lysander asked, sounding horrified at the notion of being left with Matt.
"Hey! What did I do?" Matt asked, his voice sounding so bewildered, if Layla hadn't seen him tickling Lysander, she would have believed him to be innocent.
"Humph! You know what you did." Lysander huffed, crossing his arms in front of his chest.
"Don't worry Lysander, I won't let anything happen to you." Layla smiled, squeezing his arms gently.
Lysander pouted, but nodded obediently, while Layla took Rick's hand and guided him towards the dining table. After sitting him down, she kissed his cheek and asked him to wait and not to open his eyes. She then went back to the others.
She almost burst out into laughter when she saw what Matt had done this time.
He'd somehow gotten a cloth, blindfolded Lysander and was now leading him around the living room.
He made sure Lysander had to go past as many obstacles as possible.
The worst part was, Lysander thought it was her that was leading him.
"Ow! That's a chair.. Haha... Erm...Ooomph. Layla, did you just lead me into a wall?..... Layla where are you taking me?...OW! What was that?! Layla?? Layla?? Where are we go- OOW!"
Both Matt and Damon had their back facing her so they had no idea she was watching. The two of them were snickering their heads off silently while Matt led Lysander around the place by pulling on his shirt.
Unable to stand the torture anymore, Lysander ripped the blindfold off his face. "Layla! What-....... YOU TWO!!!" Lysander yelled, while the two of them roared with laughter. Damon was doubled over with laughter while Matt was literally rolling on the floor.
"You. Made me. Walk into. A WALL!!!!!! Idiots!!!" Lysander shouted angrily, alternating between smacking the both of them while they continued laughing their heads off.
Finally Damon managed to compose himself a little and wiped his eyes still chuckling. "I'm sorry Amore, Matt started it, and I just... It was so funny, I just..."he couldn't continue and doubled over laughing again.
"You! You evil!!" Lysander bent down and smacked Matt as hard as he could while Matt was still lying on the floor, panting from all the laughing he'd done.
He reached out, pulled Lysander to him, and hugged him tightly, not allowing Lysander to budge when he struggled to get out of his hold.
"Let.Me.Go.Matt!" Lysander's voice sounded muffled as his face was pressed up against Matt's chest.
"I'm sorry love. You looked so innocent, standing there with your eyes closed, I couldn't help myself. I promise I'll make it up to you tonight." Matt whispered, his hand caressing Lysander's hair.
He smiled as he felt Lysander slowly stop his struggling.
"You promise?" Lysander asked, his voice still muffled.
"Promise" Matt said, his deep voice sounding so seductive, so sexy, and so full of promise that Layla couldn't help but shiver in excitement.
She wanted very much to watch, when Matt kept his promise to Lysander.
Layla cleared her throat, and put on the sternest face she could master, watching as the three of them turned to face her.
Two faces immediately turned guilty, but one came crying to her.
"Laaaaaylaaaaaaa...." Lysander cried, getting up from Matt's hold and rushed into Layla's arms, kneeling down in front of her so that his head rested on her breasts. "Did you see what they did?? They bullied meee.." Lysander whined, hugging her around her waist and burying his face in her twin soft mounts.
Layla cradled Lysander tenderly and stroked his soft hair. The other two meanwhile were staring enviously, as Lysander continued nuzzling Layla's soft breasts, a look of total enjoyment on his face.
No doubt the two of them were now regretting their actions.
Layla on the other hand was completely clueless, her whole attention on calming and comforting the poor Lysander who was still whimpering in her arms.
"There there Lysander, come with me now. We'll leave these two here as punishment for the moment okay?" Layla said softly, smiling when he sniffed and nodded obediently.
"Come on. Now close your eyes. I promise I won't let you bump into anything."
Gently she led him out of the hallway, but paused to look at the other two remaining guys. "Close your eyes you two. And behave!" She said sternly. Then she turned to hide the smile that was threatening to break out on her face and led Lysander to the seat next to Rick, sitting him down as well.
Then kissing him softly on the side of his head, she whispered for him to wait and to keep his eyes closed, before going back to the hallway.
Apparently Matt could not keep still, because he was nudging and shoving Damon with his shoulder and his knee, while Damon retaliated, not wanting to lose.
She found it particularly funny when Matt used his toes to kick and tickle Damon's butt, earning a growl from Damon.
Shaking her head in exasperation, she once again cleared her throat and grinned as the two of them stood up straight.
She took Damon's hand in hers, and smiled when he immediately intertwined their fingers.
She quietly lead him to the dining table where the other two were sitting quietly, waiting to be allowed to open their eyes.
Sitting Damon down, she leaned down to kiss his cheek, but he immediately pulled her closer and smashed his mouth over hers when he felt her lips brush his cheek. Unable to help herself, she let him kiss her, until they were both panting hard, and Layla had somehow ended up on his lap.
"I'll be back in awhile. Keep your eyes closed till then okay?" She whispered to him, pulling his head down to kiss both his eyelids before getting up one last time to get Matt.
Layla found Matt in a tai chi stance, with his knees bent when she reached the hallway. She made a mental note to never again leave Matt alone or too bored.
She slowly crept behind him and slipped her arms around him. Matt smiled and leaned back to rub his cheeks against hers when he felt her small, soft body against his.
Turning his head to the side, he nuzzled her neck and took a deep breath, breathing in her sweet scent. "Hmm... You smell especially nice today..." He rumbled, and Layla couldn't help but flush in pleasure at the compliment.
"Someone, has been really naughty today." Layla teased, and Matt grinned sheepishly.
"I got bored." Matt shrugged, then laughed when Layla poked him in the ribs.
"Come on, the others are waiting for us." She said, withdrawing her arms from him and walking in front of him to lead him out of the hallway, but Matt had other ideas.
He grabbed her hands and turned her around so that her back was to his chest, then he wrapped his arms around her waist, placing his chin on her shoulder. All this he did with his eyes closed.
"Matt!" Layla giggled and struggled to get out of his grip. "How am I supposed to lead you anywhere if you don't let me go?"
"You can just walk, I'll follow anywhere you go." He whispered into her ear, nuzzling and nibbling on her sensitive ears.
Rolling her eyes, she smiled and started walking. True to his word, Matt followed every step she took. How he did it without tripping the both of them, she had no idea, but it had to have something to do with his amazing body coordination.
She slowly led them both to his seat and told him to sit down.
Matt pulled back one hand to feel for his chair before sitting down, and pulling her right on top of his lap.
She struggled briefly but gave up when Matt refused to let her go.
Sighing, she decided it was time. "Okay guys, you can open your eyes now."
She watched as all of them opened their eyes, blinking a few times as their eyes adjusted to the candle lights, and then they gasped in surprise.
Giggling nervously, she whispered softly with a shy smile.
"Surprise."
