Holdin On by Citizen Cope

3. Cold Coffee

The yellow light forcing its way through her shut eyelids made her groan slightly.

"Mmm," he hummed into her ear. "Good morning, love."

She smiled widely as he wrapped his arms tightly around her waist, drawing her back closer against his chest.

"Hi," she mumbled as she languidly stretched against his body.

The sunlight cheerfully filtered through the open French doors casting a warm glow against the white curtains and pale bed sheets.

She slid her cold legs between his warm ones running her hand down his side towards his muscular toned thigh. Red huffed a laugh at the ticklish sensations.

He pressed a kiss against her bare shoulder. "I don't want to get up." He groaned.

She sighed in agreement. Days like this, where the nuisances of the world could not catch up to them made her feel as if nothing would ever touch them.

"I'll start the coffee." She said but made no move to get up.

He groaned in protest. "Come now, Lizzie," he murmured against her ear and ran a hand near the waistline of her boy shorts. She giggled at his touch.

"Surely, you'd prefer to stay in bed doing much more fun things that brewing some bitter coffee?" He drawled pressing his cheek against hers.

"Oh really, and what fun things do you have in mind?" She turned in his arms and grinned widely at him.

"Er...let me consider that for a moment." He said gazing up towards the headboard of the four poster in feigned contemplation. "How about...we play a game?"

She quirked her eyebrow at him. "What game?" She asked suspiciously.

"It's called, 'Stay in bed and make mind blowing love to Lizzie'."

"Haha!" She laughed mockingly. "No."

"Are you quite sure sweetheart? It's fun."

"Quite sure, but thanks for the offer!" She said as she began to sit up but stopped when he pinned her arm down.

He grinned at her mischievously and rested his head on his hand. "A chocolate mint says that I can change your mind."

She gave him a challenging gaze.

"Game on!"

Reds face went blank and he stared at her for several moments making her feel unsettled. He gave her a wicked grin and grabbed her hands pinning them on either side of her head trapping her body between his own.

"Let's have a repeat of the last Icebreaker war shall we," He whispered.
