Pairing: Ethan/Rox
Summary: Ethan didn't care about the presents under the tree this year. No, rather, he cared about one present and one present only, and that was the beautiful woman still asleep in his arms.
Author's Note: A healthy dose of snuggles and smut.
—
Ethan had been so thankful that Rox had accepted his gift last night.
And that she had done it with a giant smile on her face.
He knew that she wasn't used to being spoiled and it killed him.
He wanted to give her the whole world and he hated that he couldn't.
It was all that she deserved.
They had stayed snuggled on the couch a little while longer, talking softly about a variety of things.
She had told him about the one fond memory she had of her mother. The time she had taken her to the beach when she was maybe seven.
He had told her about the time his parents took him and Robbie to Disney World for a whole week.
She had chuckled as he tried to describe how his mom made them wear matching outfits everyday.
He had held her close when she told him that when they returned home that night her father had gone on a tear and slapped her mother for spoiling her.
He hadn't bothered to ask her about her childhood anymore after that.
Instead he had soothed her with soft kisses to her neck while he reminded her over and over again just how special she was to him.
And then he had let his hand wander under her pajama bottoms and inside her underwear and she had been putty in his hands from that point forward.
—
They had retreated upstairs after he brought her over the edge with just his fingers and he had taken his sweet and precious time removing her clothes and kissing his way along her body.
They made love more times than he could count, and she clung to him every time she came, her eyes soft yet dark as she whimpered out his name.
Sometime around three in the morning they finally exhausted themselves and he had tucked her trembling, naked body against his as they both dozed off to sleep.
Which is how they were laying now, her head on his shoulder, her arm around his bare waist, their bodies nuzzled together under the comforter he had dragged over them at some point.
Her breathing was soft and even, her eyelids fluttering occasionally as a dream ran through her head.
He could honestly have laid there and watched her sleep all day.
"Merry Christmas Rox." He whispered softly, his arm tightening around her shoulders as he dropped a kiss to her head.
He doubted that she heard him, he figured that she was probably very much asleep.
But then her lips were turning upward into a soft smile and she was snuggling herself closer.
"Merry Christmas Ethan." She whispered back.
He couldn't help but smile brightly as he looked down at her with soft eyes.
"You sleep?" His question was soft as he let his fingers tangle in her hair.
He just wanted to get lost in her and never come back.
"Mhm." Her eyes were still closed, but she was tracing lazy patterns on his chest with her fingers, so he knew she was very well aware of her surroundings.
"You hungry?" He certainly was.
And as much as he loved the idea of staying in bed with her all day, they had worked up quite the appetite last night and he was certainly feeling it right now.
"Mhm." She snuggled herself even closer, something he didn't think was possible, and he shivered when her bare foot came into contact with his calf.
"Do you want to get up and get some breakfast?" He brushed her hair back from her forehead with a gentle push, his fingers lingering over her ear as he stared down at her.
"Uh uh." She shook her head against his shoulder, her response making her sound like a toddler instead of a grown woman.
"Rox…" He was really hungry. Really, really hungry. And there were cinnamon rolls downstairs calling his name.
"Shhh." She dropped a kiss to his shoulder as she nuzzled her face against his neck, her fingers trailing lower along his abdomen.
"I'm hungry Rox." He whispered. "You wore me out last night and now I'm starving."
"Mhm." She pressed a kiss against his neck as her hand continued it's movements.
She stopped her hand just above his groin and he inhaled sharply when she ran a single finger along his erection.
She sure was naughty when she was half-asleep.
"I don't think I have the energy for any of your shenanigans ma'am." He reached his hand down and took her wrist gently in his hand, his thumb running along the back of her hand as he let out a soft sigh.
"Then I'll do all the work." She whispered.
She pulled her hand free from his grip and let it wrap fully around his member.
He let out a shuttering breath as she began to move her hand up and down slowly.
She was going to be the death of him.
The absolute death of him.
And he didn't mind it one bit.
—
Rox's friskiness hadn't ended there and after she had gotten him off he had taken it upon himself to return the favor.
She of course had tried to swat him away.
But he was having none of her foolishness this morning.
Instead, he had settled his head between her legs and brought her to the edge and back again three times before finally bringing her over it completely.
She had had tears in her eyes when he had finally kissed his way back up her body.
He had panicked at first, afraid that he done something wrong.
But then she was smiling up at him with a goofy smile and she was tangling her fingers in his hair as she dragged his lips to hers and he knew that all was right with the world.
He had slid into her slowly, his fingers holding her hip in place as he tangled his tongue with hers.
And when she came she had dragged her nails down his back so roughly he was sure there would be marks there by dinner time.
Not that he minded one bit.
They had settled back into each other's arms and traded gentle kisses and soft caresses before she had fallen asleep with him spooned behind her.
He had wanted to make a comment about their current predicament but he refrained.
He wondered if she would admit to this being spooning or not.
After all, the last time she didn't seem to think this counted.
—
They were awoken a few hours later to a soft knock on the door and Ethan had tried to will their pesky visitor away.
But it didn't work and soon his dad's booming voice was filling the room.
"We're gonna be late for dinner you two!" Ethan slammed his eyes shut tight as he nuzzled his face against Rox's neck.
He was hoping that his dad and Emo would forget about their Christmas Day dinner plans.
"Go away dad!" He felt Rox snuggle against him some more and he let out a growl when her bare bottom pressed against his erection even more.
She was going to kill him before the day was over.
Of that he was certain.
"No can do son!" He rolled his eyes as he let his hand settle against Rox's stomach.
He wanted to let it inch lower.
He wanted to let his fingers dance over her curls and get lost in her folds.
He wanted to bring her over the edge with just his hand like he had done last night.
Unfortunately though, he wasn't going to be doing any of that with his dad standing at the door.
"Come on Ethan!" He heard his father let out a sigh. "You two need to stop doing the dirty and get dressed. Emo will be here in twenty minutes."
He let out a sigh of his own.
He guessed that they weren't going to be able to get out of this one.
"Fine!" He heard his father retreat down the hallway a second later and he let out a huff.
He didn't want to get up.
No, rather, he wanted to enjoy a day in bed with the best gift of all.
But he knew his father would just come back up here and raise hell again, so he figured that getting up was in their best interest.
So he decided that he would take it upon himself to wake his sleeping companion in the only way he could think of.
He let his fingers wander lower down her stomach, settling themselves between her legs softly.
She let out a whimper in her sleep and he couldn't help but chuckle.
Even when she wasn't fully aware of it, she was aroused by him, and it turned him on in more ways than he could imagine.
"Time to get up Rox." He whispered against her neck, his fingers running along her folds softly.
She let out another whimper and settled herself back against him even more.
He couldn't tell if she was waking up or if she was just blissfully unaware of what was going on, so he slowly slid a finger into her.
The soft moan that left her lips told him all he needed to know.
She was awake, and in more ways than one.
"What are you doing Ethan?" She whispered softly, her hand reaching out to grip onto his forearm as she let her leg hike up just enough to give him all the access he needed.
"What does it look like I'm doing?" He nipped at the skin of her shoulder as he added another finger and she let out a sound that sent shivers through his body.
"I thought your father said we had to stop." So she had been awake this whole time.
"Yes, well, I don't listen to him very well if you haven't noticed." He flattened his palm against her curls as he continued to move his fingers in and out of her slowly.
She gripped his arm tighter as she let out another whimper.
"Ethan…" Her breathing was becoming ragged and he picked up his pace, letting his thumb brush along her center as he grazed his teeth along her bare skin. "Please…"
"Please what?" He knew that she wouldn't beg anymore than a simple please.
But he was certainly willing to give it a try.
"Your dad's waiting." She whispered. He could tell that she was melting with every stroke of his fingers and every kiss against her neck. "We… we shouldn't…"
She was struggling to form words and he would be lying if he said that he wasn't slightly proud of himself for being able to turn her into complete mush.
"We shouldn't what?" He wanted to roll her over and crash his lips against hers.
He wanted to settle himself between her legs and slide into her with no warning.
He wanted to watch her come undone as he thrust into her over and over and over again.
But there was something about not being able to see her face that was turning him on even more.
Something about the mysteriousness of the arrangement that was making his heart race.
"We…" She was squeezing his arm so tightly now that it was turning red. "We shouldn't keep him…"
He dragged his thumb along her core slowly, his fingers dancing along just the right spot, and then she was coming undone right then and there.
The moan that left her lips was anything but quiet and he let out a soft chuckle as she cursed his name under her breath.
He was about 100% certain that his father had to have heard that.
"You okay?" He whispered against her neck.
He let his fingers settle softly against her curls as he held her close, his lips pressing soft kisses against her neck as he tried to calm down his own ragged breathing.
"No." She whispered back.
He rolled her over gently then, his eyes connecting with hers as he settled his hand against her hip.
Her eyes were half closed and her hair was a wild mess and he thought that she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.
"I'm sorry." He nipped at her lips softly as he settled himself above her, his legs moving to rest on either side of hers. "Did I hurt you?"
For a second he feared that he had done something wrong.
Normally she was much quicker to recover from their adventures than she seemed to be right now.
She shook her head back and forth slowly as she blinked her eyes a couple of times.
"No." She let her hands trail down his bare chest, her fingers wrapping softly around the chain of his dog tags. "I'm okay."
"You wanna shower?" He dropped his forehead down to hers as he let his fingers brush over her stomach softly.
She nodded her head slowly, her eyes closing softly as he pressed a kiss to her nose.
"You wanna shower alone?" He figured that she might need some space from him, especially after all the sex they had just spent the last twelve hours having.
"Not really." But then her eyes were opening and they were dark and lustful and he felt a chill run through his body.
"We are gonna be so late for dinner aren't we?" He watched as she let out a chuckle before she dragged his lips down to hers.
He was most certainly okay with being late to Christmas dinner.
Especially since the best gift he had ever received was currently laying in his bed kissing him with all the love and passion she had in her.
