Fun in the Winter
She loved it when it snowed! The beautiful way it fell glistening to Earth like tiny stars slowly floating to the ground below was always so enchanting. It covered the earth like a blanket made of diamond dust shimmering in the light. She wasn't particularly fond of the cold, but the joy that could be found while playing in it was always the highlight of the frozen fun! How many years had she and her father, and then later she and Pagen made snowmen and show angels? It never ceased to amaze her how something so simple could be so fascinating!
She stood ankle-deep in the snow of the Darlian Mansion's garden and smiled before sticking out her tongue. The delight she felt as one of the little flakes caught and melted on her tongue could not be measured! It made her feel like a child again! For the short time she was in the snow, there was no Earth-Space Alliance, no pressing business to attend to. Just pure fun. She looked over at her silent guardian who stood watching with his arms crossed. Anyone who didn't know him would see passive indifference, but she could see it: curiosity swirling in his eyes. And awe. She suddenly felt a little foolish as a blush heated her cheeks. She put her hands behind her back and smiled at him.
"Join me, Heero!" He raised a brow.
"No." She frowned.
"Watching isn't any fun!" She walked forward and managed to grab his hand. "Play with me!" The corner of his mouth ticked up in a smirk.
"I will. Later. But not in the snow."
She caught his meaning and her blush returned full-force. Her husband was not one for overt public displays of anything. Discreet may as well have been his middle name, however, in the two years since they married he learned how to joke with and tease her in subtle ways. The heated look in his eyes reminded her of just how he liked to play and she suddenly felt her body light on fire. But she wanted to play in the snow! Make snow angels and snowmen! An evil idea came to mind. Wrapping her arms around him, she reached back to touch the bush behind him and grabbed a fistful of the frozen powder.
"If you want me to play your way, then you're going to have to play mine." She teased, voice low and sultry.
"Really?" His brow rose.
"Mhhm." She tipped her head up and brought her lips close enough to nearly touch his… and then shoved snow down the back of his jacket! She tried to jump back, but his arms held fast!
"That was naughty." Heero scolded. Relena pretended to pout.
"Play with me, Heero. Please?" Then his smirk stretched into a telling smile.
"Ok. Let's play." He picked her up and carried her over to a snow bank, deep and fresh. She immediately knew what he had planned and began to struggle.
"Heero! No! Don't you dare!"
"Hn." With one last smirk, he tossed her up just enough that she landed safely deep in the pile of snow. Giggling, she looked up at her love who looked down at her with a smug look of satisfaction.
"Well, now look what you've done!" She sat up. "I'm going to freeze!"
"Then I should warm you up." Before she could ask what he meant, he was on top of her, pinning her in the snow as his lips claimed hers. A soft moan escaped her throat as she felt her body heat with desire. The cold of the snow no longer mattered as his lips traveled down her jaw to her neckline just above her scarf where he gave the skin a gentle nip.
"Heero…" she breathed. "We'll freeze…"
"You're the one who wanted to play in the snow." He continued to kiss and nibble what little of her skin was exposed while his hand found her breast through her coat. "But we could… continue this… in our nice warm bed…" his other hand began to massage her inner thigh. As much as she loved the snow, she loved his touch more. This was a battle she simply couldn't win and the more he kissed her, the less she wanted to. Sighing, she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Okay, you win." She kissed him back until they were both breathless. "But you will make a snowman with me sometime this winter!" He smirked.
"We'll see." With that, he stood, picked her up, and carried her inside to have a very different form of fun in the winter.
