Before that night, Callan had little interest in watching any of the episodes of Amity’s People Party’s Competition. But tonight was different. The episode, Zip Line Adventure, would be the first one where Kaelia had been filmed separately from him, and he was curious to see just what exactly had gone on at the top of that mountain.

Kaelia, by contrast, was less than enthusiastic. “I already had to experience it once in real life,” she complained, drying off in the bathroom. Callan thought he might like her best like this; all fresh and clean from the shower after a hard day of sweat and ocean salt. “And now you’re going to make me relive it?”

Callan had popped popcorn and set out snacks on the coffee table, trying to make this as celebratory as possible. “Come on,” he tried to encourage her, even though he knew it was weak. “It might help you to critique your own performance. See where there’s room for improvement.”

She let out a gusty sigh as she slithered into a slinky, satin lilac colored nightgown. For a moment, Callan couldn’t focus, debauchedly recalling all of the times he had slipped that same nightdress over her head to ravage her delectable and supple form.

“Callan, please, I climbed a tree and held onto a zip line.” He came back to attention as she spoke, teasing a comb through her wet hair, the perfume scent of which was driving him a little wild with desire. “Not many ways to improve on that.”

“Oh, humor me,” Callan said, coming up behind her in front of the mirror and wrapping her in his arms. He liked the way their reflection looked together; her exotic and dark against his down to earth Midwest appearance. He nuzzled her neck, but she pushed him away.

“You just want to spy on what I did up there,” she called him out unabashedly, heading out of the bathroom. “Admit it, you’re checking up on me.”

He grabbed her arm and spun her around. “Why?” he said teasingly, holding her firm enough so she couldn’t turn away without putting up a big fight. “Do you need checking up on?”

She smiled coyly at him, though her eyes were sullen. “Maybe.”

Callan dipped her low over the sink and kissed her neck again, wanting to cheer her up. “You did great out there today,” he praised.

“Yeah, well, pretty convenient Lux already knew how to surf.”

“Hmmm…” Callan didn’t want to hear any more about Lux at the moment. He broke away from Kaelia’s warm, freshly washed body and checked his watch. “Almost time for the show to start.”

They settled down on the couch together, and Kaelia nestled into the soft space under his arm against his side despite her initial aversion to watching the show. The credits rolled for Zip Line Adventure, though the first ten minutes were just a bunch of boring recaps. Kaelia grabbed some popcorn and started practically inhaling the stuff, and Callan wished he could press fast forward. The show didn’t
