A Mundane Scene From HEA

HEA is happily ever after, a place rarely visited in the romance lit. world. I think that kisses between people who have no doubt that the kiss will be happily received are the best kisses there are.

 

 

            She tucked her head into the curve of his shoulder, and he shifted so they were both more comfortable, his hand somewhere near her hip. She wasn’t sure exactly what they were watching, so she reached up and toyed with the ends of his hair.

            ‘What are you doing?’

            She smiled. ‘I like your hair, Ginger.’ It was red, and she knew that he hated it. She’d call him “Ginger” sometimes, just to mess with him.

            He laughed, making her face vibrate on his chest. ‘Shut up.’ He caught her fingers in one hand and pressed them to his lips, reaching for the remote with the other. She settled back into him with a sigh as he idly switched through channels. ‘We should stop paying for cable. There’s nothing on T.V.’

            ‘Whatever will they do without your twenty-four ninety-nine a month?’ she asked sarcastically.

            Delighted with her, he dug a finger into her side. ‘You’ve got a smart mouth on you.’

            ‘I bet it’s more entertaining than T.V., Ginger,’ she replied. She smiled to herself as he pulled her up, twisted them around so that he was above her and her foot pushed the remote into the space between the couch cushions. She supposed the set would have to stay on.

            ‘I bet it is. Why don’t I test that theory out for you?’ He dipped his head, and she saw the laughter and arousal in his green eyes before they drifted closed. She let her eyes do the same, let her hands wander up his shirt as his mouth slanted over hers.

            The warmth was there, the delicious familiarity, along with the heat she’d never ceased to crave. She opened her mouth, and immediately, she was tasting him, testing him, as he did the same. His hand found the back of her neck and pulled her closer against him. She moaned his name. His lips travelled downward, nipped at her lower lip, nibbled at her jaw, journeyed back up to her mouth in a series of soft kisses that increased her pulse by threefold.

            She licked at his ear. ‘Entertained?’

            ‘Infinitely,’ he replied soberly, pulling back and standing. Puzzlement and disappointment flashed in her eyes, until she felt him scooping her up. ‘Such a smart, entertaining mouth that I feel the need to be reminded to what the rest of your body can do.’ And, with the T.V. still blaring on a channel neither of them could’ve named at gunpoint, she giggled and he kicked their bedroom door closed.
