Frosting
Kaoru was making Christmas cookies. Cut out cookies to be exact. She was so excited. She'd never been able to get the recipe right before, but with some extra lessons from Megumi, she'd managed to make some damn near perfect cut out cookies.
She smiled and put the finishing touches on the icing. He was going to be so impressed! She couldn't wait till he got there. He was going to be so surprised. She pulled down a plate from the cabinet and arranged them on it before setting it on the table.
"There!" She clapped her hands together in a show of happiness and cast a glance back at the cookie tray. There were still a few cookies scattered upon it. Her eyes slid to the door and then back to the pan. Surely it couldn't hurt...
It couldn't hurt.
She chose a candy cane shaped cookie that was frosted red and white accordingly and took a bite. "Mmm," she let out, proud of her efforts. She finished it off within a few minutes and licked the stray frosting off her fingers.
"That looks... delicious."
She started, pausing in the act of cleaning her fingers. "Ke-Kenshin!" she exclaimed, smiling instantly. "I was expecting you for another hour," she confessed.
He chuckled, joining her over by her cookies. He grasped the hand that she was still holding up in front of her mouth. He took her index finger, his eyes locked with hers, and brought it into his mouth. She whimpered low in her throat as his tongue swirled around the digit.
"Yum," he whispered, slowly releasing her hand. "But I think..." he started, shifting her so that she was in front of him and his hands were cradling her face. "Much better," he said, his breath fanning over her lips.
She licked her lips in anticipation and it was all the invitation he needed. He lowered his face to hers so that their lips were touching. Nothing else touched, but that was something that changed very quickly. Within seconds, she found herself plastered against him, her hands buried knuckle deep in his long hair.
His hands and drifted down from her face to grip her hips and pull them hard against him as his mouth ravaged hers. Their tongues were fighting for dominance. She was barely aware of where they were until her back hit the counter. They pulled apart to breathe for a moment and he hoisted her up onto the counter and then tugged her back into his body, his lips claiming hers once more.
She wrapped her legs around his torso and moaned into his mouth. She loved they way he felt against her, loved the way his tongue was caressing her, loved the way he was holding her. The way he was holding her spoke of possessiveness and she loved every second of it. She loved him.
He lifted his lips from hers, panting. She wasn't much better off, her breath coming out in rushed puffs of air. His now red lips curved into a wide smile.
"I think I'd like to try one of those cookies, now," he told her. "I'm fairly certain they'll be excellent."
She swatted him. "You ruined the surprise," she chided. "I worked really hard on those."
"And I'm sure they're great, but I'll bet that they taste even better on your lips," he told her, squeezing her tighter.
She laughed and fell into his next kiss. Who was she to argue?
