Rachel cocked her head to the side as she considered that. She wasn’t saying it to be mean because she really wasn’t trying to be mean. She just wanted to be cautious for as long as the piercing was still as tender as it was. And it was tender. It was extremely tender and she knew it would stay that way for a bit. “I suppose until it’s a little less tender,” she finally said after a moment. She wasn’t sure when that would be though. She wished she could give him a straight answer because she hated not being able to. It wasn’t because she felt bad about having to have him be careful but at the same time she just knew that she would probably get a lot of pouting because of it. And as much as she liked to pretend that she wasn’t affected by Noah’s pout she honestly was. But she chalked that up to loving him.
Readjusting the robe again she looked at him with her head still cocked to the side and then wrapped her arms around his neck, leaned forward and pressed a quick kiss to his mouth. “If you think you can control yourself and be careful enough not to hit into the piercing I suppose you don’t have to be cut off.” She said it in the most teasing voice possible but she knew that Noah would do the best he could not to hurt her. She knew that he wouldn’t want to hurt her. It just wasn’t who he was. Noah was a good man who she knew loved her. “So, I guess it’s up to you,” she admitted after a moment, shrugged her shoulders just a little bit. “You think you can be careful and keep your hands away from near the piercing? Because if you can? Well…then you don’t have to go for an extended period of time without sex.” Not that she wanted to have to cut him off. It wasn’t like she hated having sex with him because she didn’t. She just wanted to be careful.
At his question about why she got it done she looked down at herself like she could find an answer there even though she couldn’t. She couldn’t even see the piercing by looking down that way. But after a moment she shrugged her shoulders as she looked back up at him. “I don’t know. I guess…I don’t want to play things safe all the time. And I figure…I can always take it out if I don’t want it anymore. And I think a part of me wanted to prove I could go through with it. And…I don’t know. I kind of like it. I know it’s not…well…me really but…I think that’s why I like it.”
Puck knew that Rachel wasn’t trying to be a bitch or anything. He remembered just how bad it hurt even if he got his own pierced years ago. That shit hurt and touching it would just make it worse, and the last thing that he wanted to do was hurt Rachel by accident. That wouldn’t be good at all. “I hope you’re a speedy healer, babe.” He nodded with a slight pout still plastered across his face. He understood that it was probably a good idea because he wasn’t exactly the clearest of all thinkers when neither of them were wearing any clothes. The last thing he wanted to do was get too handsy and her end up in pain. That would most definitely kill any kind of mood that would be set.
He was so used to Rachel teasing him. It was something she always did. In fact, it was weird when she didn’t do. “Why is that you can tease me but if I try and tease you I end up on the couch? It doesn’t seem fair to me.” He wasn’t trying to be a jerk but every time he even attempted to tease her he got the threat of sleeping on the couch and that really put a damper on anything he tried to do. He wanted to be able to mess with her without being threatened. “You know babe, we both have hands and mouths. Sex is totally awesome but there are some alternatives that I can think of while you heal a bit.” He smirked at her, that same grin he always seemed to have. He didn’t want to go without sex but he didn’t want to hurt her either. That would definitely not be a good thing. “I don’t think I’ve ever heard you pause so many times in one explanation.” He gave her a quick kiss, showing he wasn’t saying it to be mean. “I like it. I was just curious. It’s hot, babe.” He already said that probably a thousand times over and his reaction definitely said that, too. How could he not find it hot? That type of thought just didn’t register in Puck’s mind. “If you like it that’s all that matters.”
Rachel rolled his eyes both when he reminded her he had his nipple pierced and when he called hers hot. She had known he had his nipple pierced thanks to that brief time they dated sophomore year. She hadn’t seen it but it had been impossible for her not to feel it when they were making out on her bed and her chest was pressed up against his. Even through his shirt she could still feel it. She never actually asked him what happened to it because, well, she just didn’t want to know. She figured he either got tired of it and took it out or something actually happened to it. And since he hadn’t gotten it repierced she figured he couldn’t miss it all that much. Or that he just didn’t care. Either way she didn’t feel the need to push the issue.
“I was just reminding you not to touch, that’s all,” she said after a moment ad she readjusted her robe. “You have a tendency not to think very clearly when I’m partially naked and if you acted before you thought you could hurt me without meaning to.” She knew he wouldn’t do it on purpose though. The last thing he would ever do on purpose was cause her physical pain. He may be a lot of things but he wasn’t that bad of a guy. He wasn’t the type of guy to physically hurt any girl but she knew without a doubt he wouldn’t hurt her. “I’m going to have to tell you though- you’re not getting sex for a while. Your hands tend to wander and you might accidentally hurt me.” Leaning forward she pressed a kiss to the tip of his nose. “Poor Noah. How will he ever survive?”
“I know not to touch, babe.” He was tired so it probably came off a little harsher than he original intended but most of the stuff he had been saying lately could have that effect. His could be kind of an ass when he was wide awake, let alone when he had been at practice all damn day. “I know, I know. I don’t think with my dick all of the time, Rachel.” He said with a nod. He could control himself, a hell of a lot more than she thought at least. Otherwise he’d have his hands all over her all of the damn time and that just wasn’t the case, as much as he wished it was.
“I won’t.” He laughed lightly with a shake of his head. “How long is a while?” He was afraid to know the answer to that. Ever since they got together he was used to not getting sex. After all they dated for a while before they had sex, which was not surprising since it was Rachel. But that was a hell of a long time ago so it’s not like he was used to not getting laid rather regularly but he’d deal. It’s not like he had a choice. “Why’d you get one? I mean, it’s totally fucking hot but when I think of you I don’t exactly think piercing girl.” He didn’t mean anything bad by it. She just never came across as the girl who would get tattoos or piercings and yet she had both.
Jack always had to run in there as soon as Noah came home. Every single time. He hopped up onto the bed always to look for attention and it was sort of really adorable. It was like the dog really thought Noah was his dad and wanted to get some fatherly attention. She had to admit that the little guy was absolutely adorable and even though she had gotten the dog for Puck it just had grown on her so very much. She liked spending time at home snuggling with the little guy. She preferred snuggling with Noah but when he was at practice the dog was definitely a decent substitute. But the dog had yet to understand that when ‘daddy’ came home after being gone all day it was her time with him. At least at first. If the puppy wanted to get hugs from Noah after she got to welcome him back for the night it was fine.
“Don’t touch,” she warned him but just to be extra cautious. She knew he already knew if he did it would probably hurt her. And she also knew that the last thing he wanted to do was to hurt her. They had gone through enough emotional pain with each other. The last thing either of them wanted to do was to hurt the other one physically. She knew that for sure. Shifting back from him a little bit on the bed she loosened her robe just enough for her to slide one of the shoulders down far enough for him to see her new piercing. Yes, that left her half topless but she didn’t care. And she didn’t care if it was silly to only be half topless in front of her husband of all people.
As much as he wanted to sit and play with the dog he’d much rather spend his time with Rachel at least for a little while. He usually ended up waking up in the middle of the night taking the dog out for a walk and then hanging out with him for a little while before heading back to bed. It was his system. Ever since they moved to Texas his sleep schedule had been all kinds of messed up for no good reason at all so the system ended up working out alright. Plus, the dog had to go out to do it’s business so he might as well take advantage of all of that while he was up so he didn’t have to wake up extra early to go do it.
“Babe, I had a nipple piercing. I know not to touch. Shit hurts” He informed her but then remembered when it got torn out. That was not a good time at all. Those whole couple of months seemed to suck major ass in general but getting a piercing ripped out never went well. He looked down at that piercing before smirking. “Totally fucking hot.” He whispered, figuring that he would get an eye roll from her. No matter how long they were together he’d probably get the same reaction out of her and it was entertaining a good portion of the time. Plus, it’s not like he was ever go to stop with his suggestive comments and telling her just how hot she looked
