Prompt: (color) Gold


Wrapped Up

"What is it?" Marlene picked up the package that Sirius had placed under the tree only moments before, carefully shaking it.

"I'll give you three hints," Sirius said, taking it from her, careful not to rip the gold-colored paper it was wrapped in. "It's in a box, it's for you, and it's from me. Satisfied?"

"Nope." She stuck her tongue out at him and took it back, squeezing it gently between her hands. "What's in the box?"

"You're more persistent than I am," he commented. He took the box once more and placed it back under the tree, pushing it farther back than the rest of the gifts before pulling her close against him. "Keep your hands off it. Don't look at it. Don't think about looking at it. In fact, don't think about it at all." His tone and expression were all seriousness.

She smiled seductively. "I guess I'll just have to persuade you to tell me what it is then." She lightly kissed his neck, eliciting a contented sigh from him.

"Not fair," he protested weakly as her lips trailed up his neck. "I won't be coerced."

Her lips met his in a long slow kiss. "We'll see about that," she purred in his ear. Taking him by the hand, she led him out of the room.
