NOTE: Cross-posted to both 'Five Times/Thirty Kisses' collections okay?
"Agh!" Ash threw an arm in front of his eyes as Mary-Lynette pulled the curtains back and sunlight streamed suddenly into the room! "Mare!"
"Oh, God!" Mary-Lynette abruptly closed them again and moved to his side, frowning anxiously. "Are you okay?"
He groaned, spots dancing in front of his squinting forest green eyes. "A little warning next time?" he grumbled as she rubbed his arm gently.
"Sorry, Ash." Mary-Lynette kissed his forehead, an apologetic smile on her face. "I didn't think you were awake yet."
He rolled his eyes and pulled her to lie on top of him suddenly so she gasped. "I want to sleep more," he insisted.
"Then do it, but let go of me!" Mary-Lynette giggled, trying to get free. "Ash! I have to got to College!"
"Stay," he breathed against her ear. "Pretend you're sick."
"Absolutely not!" she struggled against his hold more seriously now. "You know I have to work hard to get those extra credits! We can't all be genius like you!"
He smirked, lifting her face up so he could kiss her lips firmly. Mary-Lynette fought against the feeling of warmth and weakness that seemed to engulf her as soon as his lips touched hers and tried to pull away. But the damage was already done.
"Dammit," she leaned her forehead against his as they parted, frowning in mock-anger. "You really are evil incarnate sometimes, Ash Redfern!"
He winked. "I try my best."
