"What are you doing?" said a sleepy voice above her.

73~73

"Morning!" grinned Amy still stroking Sheldon's chest.

Moving his own hand, that was trapped under her, Sheldon pulled back. "What are you doing?" he asked again, placing his hand over hers to stop her stroking.

Amy grinned. "I awoke to you hands holding me so I thought I'd return the favour."

"You were taking advantage! You knew I had no choice but to sleep in my underwear."

"Shall I remove my nightdress? Would that even things out?"

Amy was joking and already moving back. Now Sheldon was awake and feeling vulnerable she guessed her fun would stop.

"It was nice having you here, I realised I had missed you too."

Sheldon just looked at her. He felt at a distinct disadvantage. He was lying here in just his underpants. He wanted to pull Amy close and go back to sleep. Yawning he ignored her statement and said "What time is it?"

"Early, only 7.30 I awoke because of the sun. I should have let you sleep, sorry. You go back to sleep while I go make coffee." Without waiting for his answer Amy got out of bed and moved out of the bedroom and into the kitchen.

Sheldon rolled onto his back and stared at the ceiling. He was still really tired. Shutting his eyes and throwing his arm across his face to block out the light Sheldon drifted back to sleep.

In the kitchen Amy made and drank her coffee then cleaned away the glasses they had left out last night. She contemplated going to get dressed but looking at Sheldon sleeping so peacefully, and knowing that it was still early, she crawled back into bed and snuggling close again fell asleep too.

It was nearly 10.30 by the time Sheldon woke again. Again he was wrapped around Amy but this time not only was he cupping her breasts but his erection was pressing into her back. Groaning Sheldon moved back slowly. As nice as it was waking with Amy this level of arousal was something he didn't have to deal with when alone. Not having his pyjamas as a barrier Amy's thin nightdress was soft against his chest and making the situation more uncomfortable.

Sheldon rolled onto his back. As he moved Amy stirred.

"You OK?" she asked quietly.

"Yes. I am not used to sleeping in no clothes. It is off putting."

Amy moved close and lay her head on his chest. "I like it" she mumbled.

"Amy that is not helping!"

"Oh sorry." She lifted her head and looked at him. "You do realise you are going to have to do the walk of shame and go back to yours in yesterdays clothes!"

"Oh dear lord I hadn't even thought of that! I will check to make sure that Leonard is out I think, can you imagine the comments!"

"True." Amy wanted to add 'and its not as if we got up to anything' but thought better of it.

Laying back down so she too was now on her back Amy said "Was it really that bad not having clothes on?"

"No I suppose not. It felt weird though. I never sleep like this, even when it is summer, even as a child. I just feel exposed."

Nodding Amy turned her head to look at him. "I was shocked when I got into bed and realised you had no clothes on!"

"I have got clothes on!"

"Yes I know that now, but for a few seconds last night I didn't! It was a shock."

"Well it was an unexpected sleepover. I should have called a cab."

"I'm glad you didn't. I like waking up with you in my bed."

Sheldon blushed. "Come on woman, get up. I need to salvage some dignity here even if that does involve putting dirty clothes back on."

Grinning Amy leant over and gave him a quick kiss then jumped out of bed. She moved to her wardrobe and pulled out a skirt and blouse then turned to her chest of drawers and bent to retrieve some underwear. She heard Sheldon groan and turning saw him lying with his hands over his eyes.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"Nothing just watching you bend over like that..." shaking his head Sheldon jumped out of bed and dashed to the bathroom slamming the door behind him.

73~73

Sheldon seemed to be in the bathroom for a long time. By the time he reappeared Amy had made toast, eggs, tea and coffee. She had dressed and eaten too, keeping Sheldon's breakfast warm in the oven.

When he did appear he looked downcast.

"What's wrong now?" she asked worried.

"I hate wearing old clothes."

"I had a thought while you were in the shower. Why don't I go over to yours and get you some clean clothes. Then you wont have to face Leonard and I can pick up some lunch for us and this afternoon we can go to the zoo."

Sheldon pondered this suggestion. "I don't know. That would mean you would have to go into my bedroom. Nobody is allowed in my bedroom."

"Sheldon you have just spent the night nearly naked in my bed. We have spent the past week together. Unless you are hiding something in your precious room I really don't see what the problem is!"

Sheldon frowned. "Can we stop talking about me being naked!"

Grinning Amy said "Oorrr... I could ring Penny and tell her to bring you clothes!"

"OK OK you go. But Amy hurry, I feel dirty in these already."

"Why don't you re-shower and go back to bed I will be back before you know it."

After Amy left Sheldon thought about her suggestion. It had been bad enough putting on dirty clothes once after showering he couldn't do it again. But he did take off his pants and t shirt and in just his underwear once again climbed into Amy's bed. This was ridiculous. So much for a spontaneous sleepover. It just proved these things didn't work!

73~73

Amy was relieved that 4A was empty when she let herself in. She really didn't want to have to explain this any more than Sheldon did. Making her way to his room she quickly found the clothes he had requested and the rucksack under his bed. Loading the bag Amy made her way back out locking the door behind her.

On her way back home she stopped for more food supplies and some yoohoo as she knew it was Sheldon favourite. Adding more wine and some chicken to her basket Amy paid and returned home.

Seeing Sheldon's dirty clothes on the floor neatly folded next to her laundry hamper she grinned and called out "I'm home" She moved to put the food away before going in search of Sheldon. He was sitting on the bed waiting for her.

"Did you see anyone?" he asked cautiously.

"No the coast was clear." Amy grinned at the relief that past across Sheldon's face.

Holding out his rucksack Amy watched Sheldon shift nervously.

"Everything ok?"

"I don't want you to see me like this. Can you just leave the bag?"

Amy went and sat on the bed the bag on her knee.

"Sheldon is it that bad, my seeing you?"

"I just feel exposed."

"Maybe we should do this more often and next time I will sleep in my undies too." Amy grinned and then standing, left Sheldon in peace.

When he reappeared half an hour later having showered again; he looked his normal self. Batman t shirt and khakis in place and hair neatly combed.

"Better?" Amy asked

"Yes! And thank you for going to get my things."

"Come on lets go see Koalas!"

73~73

The rest of the day went much more according to Sheldon's plan. The koalas were a delight as always and the weather much more comfortable after their time in Boston. Holding hands they wandered happily towards the monkey enclosure; and then to the café for their hot cocoa.

"Do you still want to go to the museum?" Amy asked.

"I don't mind. I am getting hungry again. We forgot lunch before we left."

"OK, well lets go home then as I bought some chicken on my way back so we can cook and eat, then if you still want too we can go see a film."

Happy with these arrangements Sheldon took one last look at his beloved koalas and followed Amy to her car.

"Sheldon, do you want to stay at mine again tonight?" Amy asked shyly.

"Err... I don't know" Sheldon thought for a moment. "I would need more clothes. And night wear and my tooth brush"

"I don't want to push you. I just enjoyed having you there."

"OK, but I am not sure about sleeping in just our underwear!"

Laughing Amy nodded. "OK lets go get you some more clothes then we will worry about that later."

Arriving back at Los Robles they again found the apartment empty. There was a note on Sheldon's desk from Leonard saying he had taken Penny out to dinner. It also said he would not be going to paint balling tomorrow as he had a call from work and had been given a slot on the lasers."

Sheldon was happy not to bump into his room-mate and went about gathering up more clothes and things he would need for his stay at Amy's. Satisfied he had everything he would need he returned to find Amy waiting.

"Ready?" she asked

Nodding he followed her out the door and down the stairs.

73~73

Amy had decided to make the spicy chicken again this time with rice. Sheldon sat watching a DVD he had brought with him and from the sounds coming from the television it was some space programme that Amy was glad she didn't have to sit through. As she prepared the chicken Amy thought about the night ahead. Yesterday had been spontaneous, tonight however was planned and she would be lying if she said she wasn't a little nervous. Trying to remind herself they had just spent a week away together Amy measured out rice and put the chicken in the oven.

"Dinner should be ready in about half hour" she called.

"Mmmhmm" was the only response from Sheldon. Shaking her head Amy grabbed her phone and went to her bedroom.

"Hey Bestie, I am in a panic. Sheldon has agreed to stay the night and now I am scared!"

Amy knew Penny was out with Leonard so didn't really expect a response. She was surprised when her phone beeped almost immediately

"You have just spent a week together Amy! Don't stress just have fun;-) I am just out with L. Call me later"

Amy grinned she knew this but it was good hearing it from Penny.

"Amy … Amy... should there be smoke coming from the oven?"

"Oh good lord" dashing from her room she found Sheldon fanning the chicken that he had retrieved from the oven. Coughing through the smoke Amy grinned. "How does pizza sound?"

Sheldon shook his head. "Have you seen how high you set the oven! No wonder this happened. I don't think we have any choice but take away now."

"Well Dr perfect I expect nothing less than perfection on Thursday when you cook for me!"

Shaking his head Sheldon wrapped the burnt, yet somehow still raw, chicken in a plastic bag then draining the half cooked rice dumped the whole lot in the bin. Turning to Amy with raised eyebrows he said "Challenge accepted! Now I am hungry what shall we order."

Amy handed Sheldon a neatly arranged folder of take-out menus. "You choose."

Sheldon decided pizza was probably best as they would deliver. Picking up the phone he placed the order then went in search of Amy who had disappeared again.

"What are you doing hiding in here?" he asked finding her sitting on her bed.

""I was texting Penny."

"OK well dinner is on its way."

Amy stood and followed Sheldon out of the bedroom. She moved to pour them both a drink, Sheldon a yoohoo and herself some water. "You don't want some of this?" Sheldon asked

Scrunching up her nose Amy shook her head "no thanks." Shrugging Sheldon happily went back to the TV and drank his drink.

Amy answered the door to the delivery man and paying the bill and tip moved to retrieve some plates. "Do you want to eat there?" she called to Sheldon who was once again engrossed.

"Yes please."

Amy frowned. She handed Sheldon a plate filled with pizza then placed her own on the table. She retrieved her phone from the bedroom and sent Penny another text

"Not sure why I was worried. He is so engrossed in silly DVD I could be dancing round naked and he wouldn't notice!"

"Men! L is as bad. Spent all night talking about lasers and moaning about Kripke! We should have had a girls night!"

Grinning Amy agreed. Finishing her pizza she washed her plate and went to see if Sheldon had finished. He had but was still engrossed in his DVD so she removed his plate, kissed his head and said "I'm going to bed."

"OK"

That was all "OK"!

Amy shook her head and made her was to her bedroom; she grabbed clean pyjamas and then went to the bathroom to get ready for bed. She could hear the TV and knew if it was a box set Sheldon would probably sit all night watching.

"Well my crazy boyfriend is still watching TV! So much for my earlier concerns!"

"Put on something sexy and go seduce him!:-D"

"I have put on my PJ's and am going to get a good 8 hours sleep!"

"Night Ames, talk to you tomorrow!"

Amy turned off her phone and the light and turning onto her side went to sleep.

73~73

It was another 2 hours before Sheldon realised he was sat on his own and the rest of the apartment was in darkness. He vaguely remembered Amy saying she was going to bed a while ago but looking at his watch was surprised to see it was now midnight. Where had the day gone! Because he had slept so long this morning he wasn't tired, but now he had watched his DVD he guessed Amy would expect him in bed.

He retrieved his rucksack from where he had left it by the foot of the bed and moving to the bathroom got ready. Comforted by the sight of his Saturday pyjamas Sheldon got changed. Turning off the bathroom light he picked his way carefully back to Amy's room. Using the dim light from his phone he could see the bump in the bed where Amy lay, so moving to the other side gently pulled back the covers.

Amy was sound asleep. She was also lying almost diagonally across the bed. Sheldon looked at her sleeping form and tried to work out how to move her. Sitting gingerly on the edge of the bed he lay his head on the pillow and swung his legs up. Amy shifted slightly and Sheldon scooted in a bit more. He lay on his back and stared into the darkness. He wasn't tired. He began to recite the elements but that did not seem to work, he began replaying the DVD he had just watched but this seemed to wake him up even more. Shifting onto his side he peered at Amy in the dark. He could feel her breathing rhythmically. He began to count her breaths. Feeling himself calm Sheldon closed his eyes. He moved his legs and his foot brushed Amy's pyjama clad leg. She moved as he touched her. Sheldon shifted closer. Now he was not balanced on the edge Sheldon relaxed a little more. It was only now he realised just how big that bed in Boston had been. Here there was no escaping each other!

An hour later Sheldon was still awake. He had tossed and turned and got hotter and hotter. Amy obviously did not have the thermostat set at 71 degrees. How she could sleep in this heat was beyond him. Standing Sheldon moved to the kitchen and got himself a glass of water. He then took of his under-shirt and folding it replaced it into his rucksack before putting his pyjama top back on. Refilling his glass with water Sheldon returned to the bedroom and got back into bed laying on top of the covers in a bid to keep cool.

Sheldon turned to face Amy again and putting an arm over her waist fell asleep his head buried into the back of her neck.

73~73

This is how Amy woke. Sheldon on top of the covers but somehow still wrapped around her. It was still dark out so it must still be the middle of the night she figured. She was surprised Sheldon was on top of the covers, it wasn't exactly hot in here she thought. Reaching down she pulled the covers over him but he moaned and kicked them straight back off. Now also without cover Amy snuggled closer to Sheldon using his body heat to keep warm; his arm around her waist tightened. No this wouldn't work, she was cold! She tried to hook her foot around the covers Sheldon had kicked down the end of the bed; twisting her foot then lifting her leg gently Amy grabbed the cover and grinning covered herself.

"What are you doing" said a sleepy voice in her ear.

"I was cold I wanted the covers."

"You were rubbing against me!"

"Sorry"

"Come here" Sheldon hugged her close and pulled the covers up over them both. "what time is it?"

"I don't know, I cant see my watch." Amy sat up and looked at the bedside clock behind Sheldon "its only 4 o'clock."

"Good I thought it was morning and I feel I have only just gone to sleep, now quit squirming woman and sleep."

Grinning Amy turned and snuggled into Sheldon's neck breathing deeply.

"Now what are you doing? He groaned.

"Getting comfy!"

"You are going to have to move, that tickles."

"What tickles? I'm not touching you!"

"Your breath on my neck, it tickles."

Kissing his neck Amy pulled back and shifting lower rested her head on his chest. "Better?" she asked.

"Yes thank you" Sheldon answered sleepily.

Now it was Amy who was awake and Sheldon who wanted to sleep. Listening to the steady beat of his heart Amy marvelled at the fact she was in her own bed with her own boyfriend! She grinned. This was nice. She realised they had spent a large portion of the weekend in bed. Who'd have thought! Realistically though Amy knew this was only because Sheldon had no laundry to do and was struggling to get back into his routine. She wasn't going to complain though!

As her hand moved across his chest she realised he had not got on his under shirt. She sat up and looked at him.

"For goodness sake Amy" Sheldon grumbled.

"Where is your t shirt?" she asked.

"Really? At 4 o'clock in the morning you want to talk about what I am wearing now?"

"OK OK I'm sorry, go back to sleep" and getting up she moved into the kitchen and put on the kettle. Maybe this sleeping together was harder than it looked!

Sighing Sheldon sat up. Maybe he should have stayed at home. He had thought last weeks stay in Boston had gone well. But tonight was turning into a disaster. First dinner, then the temperature of the room, and now their inability to share a bed. Sheldon got up and followed Amy into the kitchen.

"Tea?" she asked turning back to the kettle.

"Please."

"Why was this so easy last week?"

"I figured it was because of the bed. Last we we shared a bed considerably larger enabling us to regulate our own body temperatures, and either seek comfort or solitude accordingly. Your bed, being that much smaller, does no allow for either temperature control or distance."

"Well that rules out us ever staying at yours. Your bed is even smaller!"

"Amy, other than today's exception, I have told you nobody is allowed in my room so that will not be an issue."

Amy snorted. "Well feel free to spend the rest of the night on the sofa!" and with that she went back to her room and slammed the door.

Sheldon looked at his watch. It was now 4.30. He couldn't phone Leonard or Penny to come get him, he couldn't face a cab so he could either try sleeping on the sofa or face the wrath of Amy! With a look at the sofa he shrugged and opened the bedroom door.

"OK I'm sorry. Maybe I was unfair to say you would never be allowed in my room. Amy I did not go to sleep until 2 and now I am exhausted."

"Sheldon it is not my fault you chose to spend all night watching some silly star trek film, it is not my fault I feel the cold so like it warm in here. You know what, I had thought tonight we would have a nice meal then spend a nice evening together before a busy week at work. Yes I had hoped we might make out a little but you just being here was enough. Now I wish I had spent the evening with Penny instead."

"I'm sorry" Sheldon whispered. He sat on the side of the bed next to Amy and brushed her hair of her face. Bending down he kissed her head and said "I will sleep on the sofa."

"Oh for goodness sake Sheldon, just get into bed!" Amy shouted.

Sheldon did as he was told.

"So do you still want to make out?" Sheldon asked into the darkness.

"No now I want to hit you!"

"Amy!" Sheldon whined. But he backed up and cupped his hands between his legs just in case.

"Sheldon just sleep. Then as soon as it is light I will deliver you back to the sanctuary of your beloved room!"

"Bat crap crazy" Sheldon muttered and turning his back on Amy.

73~73

The sun broke through the curtains but Amy and Sheldon both slept. They had fallen asleep with their backs to each other both balanced on opposite edges of the bed. Now however as the sun lit up the room Sheldon had his arms around Amy. The hand cradling her breast stroked unconsciously while the other lay under her head.

Amy moaned. She was dreaming and it was nice. She stretched and opened her eyes. Maybe it wasn't a dream. Once again Sheldon was holding her. He really was a snuggler when asleep! His fondness for her breasts was apparent too. Amy moved back a little and felt his arousal against her hip.

It was obviously a morning thing, she grinned to herself. Reaching back with one hand she pulled his hips close. Feeling the heat radiating off him Amy moaned again. Even though she was mad at him for last night this was definitely a lovely way to wake up. She lay there for a while wondering if to wake him. Closing her eyes Amy drifted between sleep and consciousness. Sheldon's stroking keeping her on the edge of arousal and frustration!

Opening his eyes Sheldon saw it was morning. His arousal evident by the tightness of his pyjamas and his hand wandering over Amy's body.

"Sheldon?" Amy questioned feeling his hand still as he awoke and realised once again what he was doing.

"Hi" he answered quietly. Slowly he removed his hand "I'm sorry. I seemed to take advantage of you the minute you are asleep" he said a note of embarrassment in his voice.

"It was nice, you don't have to stop." Turning Amy looked into his blue eyes. "I have heard after an argument this is a good way to make up!"

"Really Amy?" Sheldon smirked.

"Hey you don't seem so unaffected mister." Amy brushed her hand across the front of Sheldon's pants.

He groaned and grabbed her hand. "OK fair point."

Amy removed her hand and put it back on his chest. "I think I preferred it when I woke up yesterday" she grinned

"Why?" asked Sheldon in total innocence.

"Because yesterday morning you weren't wearing this" Amy tugged at his top then laughed as he blushed.

"Well you promised you would even things out and I don't see that happening" Sheldon returned.

"Is that a challenge Dr Cooper" Amy asked grinning.

"Maybe" Sheldon was scarlet now and not able to look Amy in the eye. Amy moved his hands to her buttons and placed hers on his. She begun to undo his buttons, but his fingers hadn't moved.

"Sheldon?" Amy questioned.

Sheldon was staring at his own fingers. Slowly they began to move and one by one he undid them all. Having undone Sheldon's buttons Amy moved to push his top off his shoulders. Feeling the cold air against his skin Sheldon shivered. Mimicking Amy's movements he pushed Amy's top back and his eyes widened as he realised she did not have on a vest top or bra. His eyes darted up to hers but she was staring at his chest, slightly pink in the cheeks. Sheldon pulled Amy close and hugged her. He had meant it as an innocent reassurance but at the feel of her naked breasts against his chest Sheldon gasped. Amy, on feeling Sheldon's chest hair rub against her now incredibly sensitive nipples, moaned.

Pulling his head back Sheldon bent to kiss Amy. There was nothing tentative about this kiss. Sheldon buried his hand in her hair and held her tight as he kissed her hard, tongue tracing her lips then her tongue. Amy moaned again. Sheldon pulled back. Looking down he stared again at her breasts. Reaching out his hand he traced their curve and then her nipple. Amy bit her lip. Sheldon watched her nipple harden. Fascinated he stroked it again this time pulling gently.

"Oh god Sheldon" Amy groaned. Almost unaware of what he was doing Sheldon bent his head and sucked the hardened tip of Amy s breast into his mouth, then pulling back kissed and licked gently. Amy was now writhing on the bed. She had never felt like this before. Every touch of Sheldon's mouth on her breast seemed to be linked to the pulsing sensation between her legs. She grabbed his hand and pulled it between her legs.

"Please" she begged. Totally beyond rational thought Amy grabbed at Sheldon's head and held him to her breast. She felt his hand stroke along her panty line and squirmed. It was like torture.

"Sheldon. Please." she begged again. Sensing her need Sheldon slipped his hand inside her bottoms and pushed them down her thighs glancing down as he did so he smiled.

"Those pink panties are my favourite" he smiled.

Running his finger along there edge he moved to push them down too. Amy gasped and Sheldon looked up at her

"OK?" he asked she closed her eyes and nodded. The sensations he was creating in her body made words impossible.

Sheldon stared at Amy for what felt like the longest time before he moved again. This time turning Amy onto her back and leaning down to place a kiss on her lips before moving down back towards her breasts. As he sucked her nipple back into his mouth he watched his own fingers as they gently stroked the small triangle of light brown hair between Amy's legs. Slipping one finger lower he felt for her clit and flicked it a few times before moving lower. As he slid his finger between her lips. He pulled his head up and looked down.

"You are so wet" he said amazed.

He had read when a woman was aroused this occurred, but knowing he had caused this in Amy left him stunned. Glancing at Amy's face he could tell she was embarrassed by his observation. Moving his finger again he slid it lower and flicked his thumb against her clit.

"Oh Sheldon!" Amy gasped. Sheldon continued flicking his thumb but moved his finger to Amy's entrance and slowly pushed forward. Amy arched her hips of the bed and cried out as her orgasm overcame her. Pulling her close Sheldon slowly removed his hand and kissed her head which was damp with sweat.

"You OK?" he asked concerned.

"mmmm" she mumbled.
