jedibuttercupT; Evy/Rick; 200 words. Humor + fluff after the first movie.
Evy stared in astonishment as her new husband disrobed.
Title: Oh, For Heaven's Sake
Author: Jedi Buttercup
Disclaimer: The words are mine; the worlds are not.
Spoilers: Post-The Mummy (1999)
Notes: Originally intended as a treat for the first round of Multifandom Drabble 2021, but didn't quite fit the request. Finished and posted anyway because I needed a smile after that (literal) hellscape of a weekend!
Summary: Evy stared in astonishment as her new husband disrobed. 200w.
Evy stared in astonishment as her new husband disrobed, carelessly discarding every item that had previously encumbered him on the floor of the bedchamber. How on Earth had he managed to hide all of that under there?
She blushed vividly as Rick gave her a cheeky smile, gesturing toward his naked person. "Like what you see, Mrs. O'Connell?"
The nerve of him! "Just impressed by the size of your ... arsenal. Mr. O'Connell," she replied, primly. "And yourself?"
"Oh, just admiring the, ah ... quality of the shelving," he replied, eyes twinkling appreciatively.
Of course, there was a bookcase on the wall behind her; this was her room, and she was a librarian! But his teasing gaze was fixed on another location entirely, just as hers had been nowhere near the collection of knives, guns, and other accoutrements of the adventurer's trade suddenly adorning the rug.
"Perhaps a more, shall we say, hands-on examination might prove further illuminating?" Evy suggested, trying not to blush further as she discarded her last garment.
"My lady had only to ask," Rick replied with a grin and a waggle of his brows, then scooped her up in his arms and carried her laughing toward the bed.
