Edyt woke per usual with the sun warming her face and Finan's breath against the back of her neck. Turning carefully in his arms as not to wake him, she brought them face to face. She allowed herself a moment to admire his features, knuckles tracing over his cheek. She smiled as he turned his head into the pillow, chasing his sleep. Her fingers wove their way into his hair. "Finan, I think you should wake up," she whispered into his ear. "We're supposed to head out today."
She giggled as his grip tightened around her waist and he shook his head. She peppered kisses along the side of his face. As she reached his cheek, he moved his head to capture her lips with his. His hand came up to cup the back of her neck, pulling her closer, and she tugged lightly against his hair. He moved his hand to her throat, using it to guide her back against the furs.
A loud banging on the door to their room caused them to part. Edyt and Finan were both breathing heavy as Sihtric's voice came through the door. "Finan! Edyt, wake up! Uhtred wants us gone within the hour!"
"Damn, bastard," Finan mumbled, pressing his forehead against hers. Edyt giggled as he cupped her cheek, thumb running over her lips. She pressed a kiss against it.
"Good morning to you too," she muttered, moving forward to kiss him again.
