How Green Becomes Wood

"Not by a lot, but... yeah," He replied, "The first job or two was full price, but then I thought... this lady is really cute, and I like talking to her, so if I undercharge, it'll keep her hiring me."
 
Lex shook her head. "You bet I kept hiring you. I thought, Finally, a contractor that seems to be a decent human, and the fact that he was hot and a great conversationalist to boot didn't hurt."
 
"You know, I really should," Lex mused. "Especially since, after a while, I found out that I was living next to some real solid gold people with some special kids, and this handiman I'd hired wasn't just decent, good-looking, and communicative, he was also kind." She kissed his neck gently. "Generous." She kissed the other side of his neck. "Witty." A kiss to his cheek. "Tender-hearted. Intelligent. Wise. Loved animals. Patient. Genuinely handy. Clever. Strong, physically and inside. Open-minded. Flexible." Each compliment was accompanied by a tender kiss in a different spot, but not touching his lips.
 
"Well," Cooger said, "I was earlier thinking... this has been really nice, and that maybe tomorrow would be better... and then you started kissing me like that. So now I'm thinking differently."
 
"Oh, so now you think that perhaps your gift has something to do with what you're thinking?" Lex asked with a little smirk. "Alright. It is your birthday, so your wish is your command."

She got up off his lap and pulled her skirt down properly before going to fetch the gift she'd wrapped for him. She handed it to him and sat at the far end of the couch, trying to look like a prim and proper lady while watching him unwrap it to find two, thin, flat boxes wrapped together to appear like one singular box.
 
"I'm hoping it does, anyway," Cooger grinned almost boyishly. Once she handed it to him, he thanked her, and began unwrapping it. Finding it to be two separate boxes, he looked up at her a bit confused and began opening the first one.
 
The first box was clearly a lingerie box, but other than some bits of tissue paper, it was empty. There were no hits or clues as to what it might be. Until Lex gave him a saucy wink.

The second box was also a lingerie box, and it did have something in it: Men's silky underwear, beautifully well done and designed to make everything look very good. Except the pattern was that of pieces of fried chicken all over it.
 
Cooger chuckled, digging around in the empty lingerie box, "I couldn't be more glad to have received an empty box." When he picked up the underwear though, he couldn't help but laugh for real and say, "I'm happy to oblige, but you're into some weird ****, babe."
 
Lex cackled at that. "Remember? You once told me fried chicken was super sexy." She grinned and undid the buttons on her blouse until Cooger got to see just a peek of the fact that she had on matching lingerie. "I can't wait to see you in it."
 
Cooger looked at her and laughed, "I don't remember that, but you look sexy in anything, and I can't say I don't love fried chicken." Standing up, he took her hand and led her upstairs, bringing his gifts with him.
 
Once upstairs, Lex sat on the edge of the bed, and every time Cooger took something off, she undid a few buttons or unzipped something, enjoying dragging it out and teasing him. He wasn't allowed to touch, though, until he put on his fancy new underwear. Once he was in his, she let him finish undressing her, revealing her perfectly matching set. She hadn't been positive he'd get to see it tonight, but she'd worn it just in case. It was not exactly comfortable, but it was worth it! Besides, she wouldn't be wearing it much longer.
 
It didn't take long for Cooger to obey and change right there in front of her. It seemed like a waste of time, but if it's what she wanted, it's what she'd get. "This is ridiculous," he laughed, but he was glad to be proven correct about his deeply held belief that she looked sexy in everything she wore.
 
"Oh, absolutely!" Lex agreed enthusiastically. "It is one-hundred percent ridiculous." What they did next was, of course, anything but ridiculous. Lex told Cooger "Happy Birthday" many times that night, and fell asleep cuddled up in his arms, her head on his shoulder. She fit so perfectly against his side, warm and comfortable.
