Once he had realized what it was he was staring at, it was almost instantly that he had started wondering what the consequences would be. In the end, it probably wouldn't be anything as odd as killer toys, but still, there had to be something.

It was even quicker still that he realized he could wonder just as well from the inside as he could if he were just standing and staring on the outside.

As far as surprise gifts from the Island went, a hot tub and gazebo definitely didn't suck. The champagne, fruit and dessert tray were all nice touches, too, but they did feel a bit like the Island imposing upon his sex-life. He didn't need any help in that area, especially not from an entity he couldn't see.

Head tipped back over the edge of the tub, Asher shut his eyes and sank down lower into the water. He probably should have waited for Ray to turn up before enjoying it, but Ray's name hadn't been on the gift tag, so he didn't feel too bad about it.

He hadn't popped the cork on the champagne yet, so that was something. Even though he thought not being given another fucking horse was almost reason enough to drink.
