Well that was unexpected. Not in a bad way mind you. I'm not sure the right word to use to describe Jim's reaction to seeing Pam's toys here. Especially after he explained that story from his past. Makes sense in that light that he'd be anxious about it all.

However it's a good sign that they can be so open and honest with each other. Also fun that Pam very gently teases him. After all they're Jim and Pam, teasing each other is what they do.

However once they're back together, it's just all sorts of sexy to get a fresh perspective on everything. One that's equally satisfying for both of them.

And of course it was all hot as hell.

Whew. That was... uh... yeah. *fans self*

I read this during my lunch at work, and then immediately regretted it, because I then I had to go back to work for another 4 hours with blue labes. So, uh, thanks, I guess?

Another phenomenal chapter AG. I really do like that in addition to all the sexiness we also get ample time in Jim and Pam's headspace while all this is going on. You really captured their internal thought well, not really a surprise there mind you but still worth noting.

Just magnificent all around.

Well, it gave you more jellybeans, so there ya go.

So, I was at work today when Beth messaged me, telling me you posted this. So...allow me to state my exact response to this chapter: "EX-FUCKING-CUSE ME?!"

I've been WAITING for some after-proposal sex that answered why Jim was SOAKED when returning to DM after the "lunch." Come on, we ALL knew it happened.
Yas to dingy gas station bathroom sex!
And EVERYTHING from Jim's POV was *chef's kiss*

And also any mention of "I'm marrying you" or "you're my fiance" AND "I can't wait" literal perfection. Best lines ever.

1000/10

I came back to life from my previous state of being deceased to only be ripped from this mortal coil once more like 30 seconds into the chapter by this particular line and the image it evoked: “ hands in my hair turned into his hands gripping my ponytail like he sometimes does when he wants to be rough”
Because for some reason his hand on the back of her head in that scene is literally all I can look at when I watch that episode wow do you read minds from across the country that’s crazy you should go on a kink mind reading tour

I died

“before pocketing them”

that killed me

I’m a ghost now (boo bitch)

because jim stuffing her underwear in his pocket murdered me

Internet’s been wonky but third time’s the charm! I just had to say how well crafted this series is and that it always makes my day when you update!!!

First gooey consolation-camping and then that little middle-of-the-night delight? May this quarantine never end...

Aw, back to the good old days of innocence. I had to poke my head from underneath a blanket to read this glorious piece.

Listen, this whole thing had me at "seduction sweats." Perfection.

I'm so proud of Jim! I bet he'll have all the encouragement he needs to come out from underneath that blanket of shame.

Please tell me the new chapter is on the way!!

Love the idea of the huge Halpert family reunion. Though I do wonder where the army of Super Soaker toting kids disappeared off too? I have this vision of Jim using fake Army signals to send squads of kids everywhere and none of them knowing what he means. Lots of fun to see them having good clean fun together, as well as other kinds of fun too. And him giving her a shirt was just all sorts of sweet.

Love that they feel so comfortable in each other's spaces too. Also that Pam wanted to go through the trouble of making up the camping trip for him. Wonderful to see how they're looking out for each other like that. Nice in the tent imagery as well.
