Cuddling more into my pillow I feel a warm confining thing draped across my waist, confused I wiggle slightly to make the heavy thing shift so it wasn't squishing my back into the mattress. No luck it seems. Huffing I crack open an eye and look to my right. Seeing a mess of red hair a small smile tugged at my lips. Edward stayed.
Turning over so I was resting on my side instead of my back I sleepily shuffle closer to steal some of his warmth, dude was like a radiator. While he was sleeping I take the chance to properly observe his face; he looked so much more youthful and relaxed while he was asleep. Following up from his lips, his proud nose to his closed eyes which were able to confuse me when he was awake I can't help observing small scars scattered across his face and neck. Seeing one just below his bottom lip I softly brush a finger over it, what happened to him? He was an enigma in himself, not just his name.
His arm suddenly pulled me close to his chest I let a small smile escape, closing my eyes I let my one hand rest on his chest. Feeling his slow heartbeat I let it lull me back to sleep, thank goodness it was Saturday and I had the day off.
The next time I woke up but not from being squished and from a ticklish feeling going down my neck, peeking through my right eye I can see Edwards mischievous eyes glued to my face as his lips tickle kisses down my neck.
"Good morning Song Bird." His soft voice made a smile surface on my lips, mumbling good morning I cuddle closer to him, hearing his soft chuckle and gentle fingers running through my hair I snuggle more into my pillow. "Are we not getting up today love?" Shaking my head I entwine my fingers with his trying to anchor him to the bed.
"What time is it?" I mumble into my pillow, feeling Edward shift on the bed I open one eye and see him check the clock on my bedside table.
"It's one o'clock in the afternoon Clara, time to get up." Groaning I turn over on my back and rubbed my eyes with one hand. "Do you have work today?" Shaking my head I sit up slightly against the pillows. "You're not very talkative today." Grinning I lean against his shoulder and gently kiss under his jaw.
"That's because I've only just woken up baby, gimme a few minutes and I'll talk your ear off". He slides an arm around my waist and pulls me close while wrapping the duvet over both our legs. "Did you sleep okay?" I ask while trying to repress a yawn that wanted to escape.
Laughing softly in my ear he kissed my temple: "to be honest I think that's the longest I've slept in years, naturally any way". Frowning at the word 'naturally' I turn my head so my chin was resting on his shoulder.
"What do you mean naturally?" I ask while sliding my legs so they were over his legs. Biting his lip he gave me a sheepish look.
"Well, at Arkham I was one of the more difficult patients-" snorting slightly at that he gave me a cheeky grin "-if you can believe that, so to stop us being 'difficult' they used to inject us with some different chemicals to get us to go to sleep. I couldn't tell you what, Jonathan is the chemical expert out of us all." Frowning more I looked down at the arm he held up to show me, I could see small indents in his skin as well as white marks. Running my fingers over them I looked up and saw Edward's soft eyes watching my every movement. Making a decision I lean down and gently kiss every mark I could see.
"Well they are idiots there!" I wrap my arm around his waist and settle against him more comfortably. Feeling a chuckle escape him, he softly kisses my forehead. "I think if I lie here anymore I may fall back asleep", I mumble into his neck feeling my eye lids start to droop.
"Well I better make sure that doesn't happen, you've had enough sleep now", his playful voice didn't escape my notice and he grabbed me before I could make a run for it and pinned me beneath him, laughing I try to escape his hold and he gives me small pecks all across my face and neck as his fingers start to tickle my sides.
Giggling I beg him to stop as he tickles harder making tears catch at the corner of my eyes. "Edward if you don't stop I will literally wet myself" I shriek and slowly he stops, those green eyes managed to catch my attention as they always did. They were the softest green I had ever seen, smiling up at him I gently stroke his cheek as he leans forward, watching his eyes flicker between my own and my lips I grin cheekily up at him.
"Want something Mr Nigma?" I cheekily ask, seeing his lips quirk up into a smirk he nodded.
"Very much so." Feeling my stomach start to flutter with butterflies I let my hand brush through his red hair.
"Better take it before it gets up to go for a shower." Laughing he leans down and gives me a scorching kiss that I swear I could feel down to my toes. Wrapping my arms around his neck I pull him closer as his arms support his weight by my head, feeling his body on mine I become slightly bold lightly biting his bottom lip. Feeling him pull away, I look up worried that I had done something wrong. Seeing his eyes darken I blush and he leans down and croons into my ear: "now Song Bird if you do something like that I will not be letting you leave this bed all day". Shivering at his voice and his teeth gently biting on the lobe of my ear my fingers dig into his hair in reply. Chuckling at my reaction he leaves soft kisses up and down my neck leaving burning fire in their place before kissing up to my lips and kissing my bottom lip; giving it a nip of his own before leaning up and giving me his signature cheeky grin.
Shaking my head in amusement I leave a soft kiss on the corner of his lips before I twist my legs with his and manage to twist us so he was below me on the bed. Laughing at his wide-eyed look I tap his nose and kiss his cheek.
"Well my Clara, you are full of surprises." Smirking down at him I give him a cheeky wink.
"Penguin thought it was best if I had some self-defence lessons, just in case." His eyebrow furrowed at that, before I knew it he quickly swapped us back so I was laid on my back and he was hovering over me.
"You shouldn't have to protect yourself Clara, I'll be there to make sure no one hurts you!" Stroking his cheek I can't help being touched by the conviction in his voice.
"Darling I love that you want to protect me, but you won't be always there twenty-four seven, I need to know how to protect myself. For example like last night with Scarecrow." I softly mummer to him. His eyes didn't lose their hardness as he glares down at me, trying not to smile I tilt my head at him. "Would you prefer to teach me baby?" I bite my lip. Seeing his lips twitch I wink up at him to amp it up.
"I'm trying to be mad here could you stop being so tempting." Giggling I nod and try to fashion my face into the picture of innocence. He chuckles and leaves a bruising kiss on my lips. "You have no idea what you do to me", he mumbles against my lips. Chuckling I wiggle against his body pressing down on me.
"Oh I've got an idea Eddie" I giggle and kiss his cheek while carding my fingers through his hair, dragging my nails through it slightly; hearing Edward make a slightly grumble I store that little bit of information in my head to use later on. "Now my Riddler, I do need to go for a shower." Those heated eyes scorched into my own as he once again kisses me hard, cupping my head in one of his large hands as his other cups my face and runs his thumb over my cheek. To be honest it left me completely breathless. Blushing at the look on his face when a small moan left my throat during the kiss, I push against his chest to let me up.
"You really don't know." His voice went so deep if I wasn't laid down my knees would have given up, swallowing I give him a small smile as he sits up, sitting up myself I see him rub his eyes and take a deep breath. Trying not to giggle I kiss his cheek.
"I won't be a moment." He grins up at me as I stand up and start to find clothes to wear around the flat today. Deciding on some loose sweatpants and a tank top I quickly get a bra and underwear before moving around the bed and Edward. Feeling a sharp tap on my rear I turn and raise my eyebrows at his cheeky grin. "You are definitely an ass man aren't cha" I chuckle as I carry on towards the bathroom hearing his deep chuckle.
Shutting the bathroom door behind me, making sure the lock was on, I change and have the quickest shower possible while washing my hair and covering myself in cranberry smelling shower gel.
Drying my hair with a towel I walk out of the bathroom and see Edward standing by the cooker swirling something in my saucepan, amused I throw my towel in the laundry hamper and walk over to see what he was up to. Kiss his shoulder I slip under his arm and see that he was making pancakes, or attempting too. Hiding an amused smile I looked up and saw a sheepish grin on his face.
"Well bed and breakfast, I could get used to this Riddler", I tease him, giving him a small kiss I duck under his arm and get us both plates and cutlery. Setting them on the breakfast bar ready I grab some orange juice and glasses before turning round seeing Edward with a tender look on his face. "You okay honey?" I ask putting the glasses down on the bar.
"You aren't the only one who could get used to this" he says it so softly I don't think I was meant to hear it, sending him an affectionate smile I walk over and wrap my arms around his waist.
"Well if you had let me cook you most definitely would stay all the time, my chicken curry is legendary." I tease him as his arm wraps around my shoulder pulling me closer to him.
"Well love I won't be able to stay for dinner or lunch, I've a got a text from my men saying they've got a problem," trying not to look disappointed I nod and rest my head against his shoulder.
"No rest for the wicked aye." I try to go for a teasing tone but even to me it sounded disappointed. Pushing the pan off the heat he turns towards me and places one hand under my chin lifting it so I was looking up into those emerald eyes.
"I wouldn't leave unless I had too." His sincerity made my heart beat just a bit faster, nodding I try for a reassuring smile. "When I'm finished and no Batman or Robin is around, can I come back here?" Genuinely smiling I nod while a small giggle escapes me.
"I'd love it if you came back." I reply giving him a quick kiss. Smirking down at me he leans back down and kisses me as if I was made of glass that was how soft it was. Blushing at the emotions in the kiss I play with the hair at the nape of his neck to distract him from the redness of my cheeks.
"Plus you have to teach me self-defence", I cheekily smirk as his eyes darken slightly.
"It's a good job I have good self-control Clara" his fingers dig slightly into my hips, feeling slightly proud of letting Edward lose some of that self-control I drag my nails softly through his hair making those green eyes darken even more.
"Is it a good job?" I torment, he closes his eyes and takes a deep breath through his nose and exhales through his mouth. Maybe I was better at this flirting thing than I thought I was.
"Clara. Behave." He opens his eyes and give me a playful glare, chuckling I give his a chaste kiss before letting go of him.
"When do you have to go?" His sheepish smile made my heart sink a little.
"Now love, but like I said if no Bats or Robin follows me I will come straight back here." He kisses my forehead, nose and then gives me a long kiss making my heart start beating heavily, if he carries this on I will develop a heart problem! Giving me one last kiss he grabs his black jacket from one of the chairs and walks towards the door. "And Clara, please behave while I am gone." Smirking I roll my eyes at him.
"Always do baby, try not to get caught or ill have to find someone else to cook my chicken curry for", he pouts as he opens the door.
"You better not!" He growls out, leaning forwards on the breakfast bar between us I get the courage to wink and boldly state: "then hurry back, I seem to remember a promise of staying in bed … all day." His feral grin made my heart stutter and all my insides clench.
"I'll make good on that promise, don't you worry my Song Bird." With that he closes the door. Shaking my head, I walk back round to the cooker, looking at the black pancake I can't help a little laugh leave me.
He may be a genius, but cooking may not be one of his best points. Throwing it in the bin I make a new batch of pancakes thinking of him; when did I become such a mush teenager?
Sorry it's so short and fluffy but thought you all deserved a bit of Edward love for waiting so long for this chapter!
