Waking up on a Saturday morning

Sheldon wakes up slowly, it's a early on Saturday morning and he feels strangely relaxed. There is no nervous tension eating his brain, no need for routines, for rotas. There's a comforting weight and soft warmth at his side, an explosion of golden hair on his pillow. He smiles to himself, it seems now every morning is new and perfect

He rolls closer to Penny, spooning round her. He finds comfort in having her naked next to him, as he rests his chin in her shoulder he puts his hand on her hip , wrapping his fingers round over the curve of her.

She gives a happy murmur in her sleep and leans back against him. pushing her ass against him, their legs entwined. He moves her hair to the side and leans in to kiss her neck below her ear, just about the leather of her collar. She softly moans.

He strokes her hip then slides his hand up, stroking her belly, cupping one of her breasts then up to wrap his long fingers around her neck, gripping her throat. She moans deeper and sleepily raises her hands over her head, wrists crossed then she raises her knees and spreads her legs wide apart, offering herself up, defenceless and vulnerable.

He smiles, it's not clear if this is all a trained response or if they've unlocked something that was already there in her, but her surrender to him runs deep.

Looking over her he considers moving his hand lower, down to the mound of Venus where she has just a small strip of neatly trimmed hair, down to the delicate bloom of pale pink lips, to tease the folds of her slightly uneven labia.

He knows that with just a few moments teasing her clit she'd be wet and ready for him, he could pin her down and slide into her, she d awaken being fucked in chains and she'd love it like the good little slave she was.

He smiles then kisses her on the lips. She half opens one eye

"I'm going to watch Dr Who. You can sleep in."

He covers her with his pyjama top, she happily murmurs and hugs it, burying her face in it.

He slides out of bed and puts on his robe and slippers and heads out to the kitchen. There's already sounds of movement. Lesley has apparently stayed over with Leonard and is now in the kitchen

"Morning Dr Dumbass"

He picks up his Star Trek tricorder from the shelf and points it at her, looks at it, adjusting the knobs a moment before intoning in his best Spock impersonation "Caution, high levels of sass detected, Captain"

"Was that Sarcasm?"

"yes, I've been practising, I was saving that one for a real burn"

He puts the tricorder down and heads to the kitchen, getting his shredded wheat and a bowl. In the refrigerator there was a little bottle of milk - Penny had already measured out his 2% for his cereal.

he sighed happily. Sometimes love is in the details

He also remembers Penny's advise that conversations often start by stating the obvious to set a baseline "You're up early"

"Leonard can get uncomfortably 'handsy' in his sleep. It's like being molested by a fuzzy little koala." She recoils "Urgh! What's wrong with your face?"

"Sorry, that was my koala smile"

"you like koalas that much?"

"I find them endearing, though I prefer to keep them at a distance as I recently learned their urine can spread Chlamydia"

Sheldon takes his cereal over to his spot.

He pauses for a moment, puzzled. His newly awakened social sense is tingling. He wonders why, then notices Lesley looking hesitant. He points at the chair next to his spot on the sofa. "Come sit, tell me what's bothering you."

Nursing her coffee, Lesley sits and ponders something, looking at Sheldon.

"So, you've lived with Leonard a while, right?"

"yes, for all his quirks"

"How do I keep him in line?"

"I take it you've tried the usual application or withholding of carnal pleasures?"

"Yes, and that works for a while but he swings from post coital insufferable smugness to neurotic whining with no little middle ground in between, it's getting infuriating."

"May I suggest you read his mother's book on the subject? it's "Needy baby, Greedy baby" by Dr. Beverly Hofstadter, available on Amazon for kindle. I would lend you my signed hard copy but the sight of it makes Leonard cry."

Lesley smiles "Thanks. you know, that may actually be useful sometimes"

"Carrot and stick, punishment and reward. He grew up with a genius mother and weak bumbling father, so his male role models are weak and his female one are intellectual but emotional distant. You can see why he's attracted to your intelligence, I'd suggest a program of tasks with rewards, you'll no doubt find he's an insecure people pleaser so he'll respond well to simple gestures of affection. As long as he has something to do to please you, it should keep the smugness at bay"

"Thanks for the insight. so, what are you watching?" She settles down into the chair.

"Dr Who, the new series, season 3 episode 10. the episode is called 'Blink'. Care to join me? I think you'll find the science quite interesting"
