Okay, this is a winter type one. I know we're almost in July but I like this one anyway. Hope you do too!
Ruth curled up under her pile of blankets. It was freezing, even wrapped up as she was by the roaring fire. Both herself and Harry had taken a couple of days off as terrorists never seemed to bother in the snow. They had gone to a little farmhouse where they were trapped away from the rest of the world. It had been wonderful, to be locked away together. Until the central heating system failed. Harry was desperately calling to try and get it repaired but no one wanted to travel in the snow. Apparently they would have to make do. He came back into the living room with a angry look on his face.
"No luck then?" Ruth said as he sat next to her, an arm going around her shoulders.
"When its safe to drive out of here, some of these people are going to get a piece of my mind," he muttered. Ruth laughed in spite of the cold that was making her toes tingle.
"Come here," Ruth said in a seductive voice which Harry could never resist. Not from her. He kissed her lightly as their arms wrapped around each other. Her tongue encouraged him to open his mouth and deepen the kiss. Not that he particularly needed much encouragement. He slipped a hand under her many layers and gently caressed her cold skin. But it was definitely heating up under his fingertips. His mouth moved downwards, exploring her neck.
"I have an idea," Harry murmured in between kisses. Ruth didn't answer, just waited for him to continue. "We are trapped in a cottage, no one else for company, snowed in, so if the worst happened, we couldn't get back to London anyway." He stopped talking to kiss her lips again. Then he carried on. "I say, we enjoy ourselves, making our own heat until the snows thaw out."
"Do you now?" Ruth replied with a tease in her voice. "I think it might be too cold for that." Harry knew her so well he could hear the false note in her voice.
"I didn't think you were a tease Miss Evershed," he said with a smile.
"I think I'll show you how much of a tease I can be," she said both of them smiling. It was going to be a long and hot weekend.
C is for cold.
