Author's Note: This is all my mother's fault.  I gave her my iPod to select music from the other day on the way home.  Well, my younger brother put this God-awful country song on my iPod as a joke years ago and I never went in and deleted it.  So, wouldn't you know it, that's the damn song that my mom put on.  ARGH!  It then got stuck in my head for DAYS!!!!!!!  And then this freaking plot bunny jumped out and attacked me.  *Iz incredibly annoyed*  If you must know, the song is called "Your Man" by Josh Turner.  Here's the link:  Josh Turner's Your Man YouTube  Just be warned, it's insanely twangy.  Thanks very much to [livejournal.com profile] evenstar_estel for the beta.  She put up with it even though she probably hates country music worse than I do.  LOL!  
Summary: Connor and Abby and an evening at home.  



Your Man

Abby snapped her head up to look over at Connor indignantly. He had had the nerve to turn the telly off in the middle of her program.

“Connor! What the hell?” she barked.

He’d been huffing about the flat for that last few minutes messing about with the sound system and had even plugged in his iPod. It had been distracting her and she was getting more and more aggravated by the minute.

When she looked over at him he made a show of locking the door. What was he up to.

He walked back over to the sound system and hit play on his iPod. Abby’s jaw dropped open. The most god-awful country music song she’d ever heard came twanging out of the speakers. It was terrible, worse than when Connor had gone through his phase of rediscovering his punk roots after their return from the Cretaceous… in bad 1990’s American punk, not even the good stuff. This took the cake as the oddest thing he’d ever done. He hated country music; she hated country music. Why had he turned her program off for this crap?

“Connor? Seriously, what the—”

His finger to her lips silenced her question. He extended his hand to her as if asking her to dance. Now she was intrigued, despite the horrible twangy music continuing to blare out of the sound system.

He pulled her close to him and did indeed begin dancing with her. Abby giggled and smiled, her irritation waning. “What’s gotten into you. I mean, I love dancing with you, but why the horrid music?”

Connor smiled and leaned in even closer. To Abby’s absolute delight he started singing the lyrics right into her ear. The vibrations of his lips against her sent a shiver of thrills through her giving her goose-bumps right down to her toes. She tightened her arms around him and listened to the words he sang.

“I’ve been thinking ‘bout this all day long. Never felt a feeling quite this strong. I can’t believe how much it turns me on just to be your man.” He kissed her neck as the line ended. “There’s no hurry, don’t you worry, we can take our time. Come a little closer. Let’s go over what I had in mind.” He kissed the other side of her neck and then continued. “Baby lock the doors and turn the lights down low. Put some music on that’s soft and slow. Baby we ain’t got no place to go. I hope you understand.”

He continued to kiss and nuzzle her as the song moved on. And soon, the passion built and he wasn’t singing anymore. They had swayed, turned and twirled all around the room to the sound of the atrocious music. Finally, as the song ended, they crashed through the bedroom door and collapsed on the bed together in each other’s arms, kissing and tonguing each other like mad.

They suddenly couldn’t get close enough; they couldn’t get to enough of each other. A half an hour later, sweaty, naked, and satisfied, Abby final got an answer to her question as she rested her head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat.

“OK, about the song,” explained Connor. “Sorry. I know it’s terrible. I hate country music. But, you remember me telling you about my cousin, the one in college who took that trip to the States?”

Abby nodded.

“Well, he brought back a ton of horrid music and every time I go home mum’s listening to all that crap that he brought back. This song got stuck in my head and I haven’t been able to get it out since last weekend. As bad as the music is, the words are true you know.” He lifted her chin so she had to look at him. He pressed a gentle kiss to her lips. “I love you. You make me so happy and it does turn me on, just knowing that I’m yours. And that you’re mine.” He smirked at her and kissed her nose quickly.

She snuggled in deeper against him. “Hmmm. Yes, I am yours. I love you too, Conn. Thank you. That was lovely; awful music aside.” She kissed his chest and relaxed against him and he against their pillows.

He rubbed her bare back lazily as they both started to drift off to sleep. Finally it seemed that song was purged from his brain.

Two seconds later Abby started humming. Damnit! thought Connor.

I know right. If only we could all have Connors. LOL!

Thanks. That about sums up how I felt while this song was stuck in my head. LOL! Thanks for the review. I feel the exact same way about country music. I completely loathe it. It's part of what made this particular bunny so exasperating. :-D

Ooops. Some country music can be quite good, but I can't take too much of it.

This was sweet :)

Aww. Thanks Fred. :-D I don't like it. I could probably count on one hand the amount of country I like and this song would *not* be on that list. Thanks so much for commenting. :-) Teddy would be proud. LOL!

You're right, the music is real twangy. I like some country music, depending on who sings it, but some of it really annoys me.

Cute fic! Absolutely loved it!

Hehehehe! Well, I did warn you. LOL!! his would be in the annoying variety. Sadly, it's also the kind that sticks in your head.

Thank you. I'm glad you liked it.

This fluffy bunny would not die. Believe me, I tried everything to kill it. Nothing worked, so I just gave in and wrote it. :-D I'm glad you like this little bit of craziness. Hehehehehe. Yes, you know that would so totally happen. As soon as he almost gets it out of his head, it's now stuck in Abby's and now it'll go back and forth between the two of them for several weeks more s my guess. Hahahahahahahaha

Hmmm. :-/ Yes, I read about that. I hope you guys can get all your work stuff sorted. I'm sorry you're having such a rough go of it at the moment. :-( That's no fun. Thanks for commenting. I'm glad I could cheer you up, even if just a little.

I'm Downloading the new ep RIGHT NOW. ;-) I'll let y'all know how it fairs for Conby.

Did a 13 hour shift today :( Got home at 9:15pm, just finished eating. I'm downloading too, depends how long it takes on whether I watch it tonight or tomorrow night. I'm dead on my feet.

We should get an idea tomorrow as to whether what we're doing is good enough to turn things around. There's still a hell of lot to do though. And I had to do a Connor today - sign a confidentiality form. Eek!

God that sucks.

Eek is right. Those things freak me out. I'm done downloading, but I'll probably watch in a little bit. My comp and connection are pretty fast. It only took me about 10 minutes. And that was on "slow download" LOL!

I'm with Abby on this one. I hate country music. It has been the bane of my life since birth. Unfortunately, both my mother and step-father are huge fans, and so I know most of the bloody stuff off by heart.

*shudders*

Bless Connor, this was sweet. :)

I *hate* country music but yes, sadly, due to relatives like my mom and cousins, it is unavoidable that I know a ton of it. Grrrrrr.

Thanks. I'm glad you liked it. And thanks for commenting. :-D

Gah, and I HATE country. It makes me homicidal. (As a fellow Texan, I'm sooo with ya on this)

But the fic was just sweet and lovely and precious. :) Yay for Tay!

Yeah, I hate it too. *commiserates*

Thank you very much. If I had to have that God awful song stuck in my head, at least it gave me a fluffy plot bunny. Hehehehehe

I'm pleased to see that Connor's enough of a genius to turn that vile music into a way to get to shag Abby. It's the only consolation to having it stuck in his head. Lovely wee ficlet. Abby needs to play Connor some Stooges.

Yes, well, he does love her. :-) It's probably his favorite past time... shagging Abby. Hahahahaha. Thank you very much and yes, he appears to need a bit of a musical education. LOL!!!!!

Oh crap! I just realized I forgot to credit you for the punk line. OK, I'll do it here...

The line about bad 90's punk comes from [profile] evenstar_estel as she is a musical encyclopedia/genius. :-D
