Chapter 6: Speaking of Sex
They woke up late, arms and legs entangled and Liz with her head rested on Red's shoulder. "Mmmm, I don't think I've ever slept this well", Red sighed, kissing Liz on her forehead.
"That was a good night's sleep indeed", Liz agreed, stretching her limbs.
Red placed a hand on her cheek and looked her in the eyes "I love waking up next to you, Lizzy", he said in a serious tone, "I don't want to wake up without you by my side ever again".
Liz placed her hand over his, "Me neither, Red", and gave him a sweet kiss on his lips.
"Now, first things first", Red said while getting up and making his way to the bathroom.
Liz got up as well and she suddenly had an idea. She made her way to the door.
When Red emerged from the bathroom he didn't see it coming…. Splash! A snowball right in his face. Liz was laughing so hard she could barely breathe.
"Ohh, big mistake Elizabeth", Red said while wiping his face with his hand.
Liz tried to get to the other side of the kitchen table but wasn't fast enough because of her knee.
Red caught her in no time and held her from behind, her arms tight to her body.
"Oh, what should I do with you now? You need to be punished for that", he whispered in her ear.
Liz squealed, "No…please Red" and squirmed in his arms, acting like she was trying to get away from him when in fact she loved Red being so playful.
"No point begging me for mercy, it's too late for that", Red grinned and turned Liz around in his arms. She was now facing him and she leant in for a kiss.
"Oh no, I don't think so!" Red moved his head away from her, "kissing you would not be a punishment, now would it?"
He pushed her until she had her behind against the edge of the kitchen table. The anticipation of what was to come was killing Liz.
Red released his grip on her and moved his hands down her arms until he held her hands with his while just staring deeply into her eyes.
Liz could feel the heat between them and she noticed that they both started to breathe heavier. After looking into each other's eyes for what seemed like forever they couldn't take it anymore and within seconds their lips had found each other.
There was nothing sweet and gentle about it anymore. Their hands were all over each other's bodies and were tugging at their clothes. Their mouths devouring each other, kissing roughly, tongues and teeth were licking and biting.
Red lifted Liz up and sat her down on the kitchen table, not breaking their kiss.
He lifted her top and Liz lifted her arms to help him take it off and she did the same with his shirt. She needed to feel his body closer so she opened her legs so Red could stand between them. One of his hands got a hold on one of Liz's breasts, pinching her nipple between his fingers while his other hand went up in her hair, pulling her closer to deepen the kiss.
Liz moaned as she felt his fingers pinch her and her hands went down from his chest. She slid one hand inside his boxers and grabbed his length and started pulling.
Now it was Red's turn to moan and he started tugging on her panties. He couldn't wait for her to take them off and Liz heard the fabric tear.
Red could feel her smiling against his mouth before resuming their frantic kiss.
Liz pushed down Red's boxers and he quickly stepped out of them. Free at last.
He looked down and could see the glistening of her moisture and knew she was ready for him yet again. He still couldn't believe she got this wet because of him.
The table was the perfect height so all Red had to do was take a step forward to let himself sink into her. He pressed the tip of his member against her entrance and pushed it in a little bit.
"No need to take it slow Red, please just push in", Liz begged him, pulling his ass with her heels to add emphasis to her words.
He grabbed her hips, did what she'd asked and pushed himself inside her to the hilt in one swift move. They both cried out at the feeling.
They started kissing again as Red held still but that only took a second. He started moving in a fast pace, grabbing Liz's ass, pulling her even closer.
Liz wrapped her arms around his shoulders and started kissing him everywhere.
His neck, ear, sideburn, cheek, anywhere she could reach, while holding on tight.
Red let out a low growl of pleasure and Liz felt the timbre through her entire body.
They found each other's mouths again and their frantic kiss continued while Red kept pounding into her.
They were breathing uncontrollably as they were getting closer to their climaxes.
Red wriggled a hand between them and started caressing Liz's clit with his fingers.
That was the last straw for Liz as she tumbled over the edge, an orgasm so strong it made her dizzy.
Liz's inner muscles milking him were enough for Red to reach his own high and after a few last moves, they stilled in each other's arms.
"Now, I really don't mind punishments like that", Liz grinned as they were catching their breath.
"Well, I guess I had something else in mind but I now realise it's very hard to control myself around you", Red whispered breathlessly while giving Liz kisses on her face and neck.
They stayed like that, in each other's arms for a while, trying to come back down to earth.
After a while Red put his boxers back on and went to make some coffee as Liz sat down at the table.
"Okay, I'll need to go out and chop some more wood for the fire, as we're running out quickly" Red said as they were sipping their coffee.
"That's a good idea. We don't want to run out of logs, we might freeze to death".
"I guess we would just have to keep each other warm", Red winked with a cheeky smile.
Red went to get the wheelbarrow, axe and big pieces of wood from the shed and started chopping.
Liz stood there, watching him from the kitchen window again. She decided to go outside as well and put on some boots and a jacket.
"I thought I'd keep you company this time. Besides I could use some fresh air" Liz said while walking towards Red.
"That's very nice of you, sweetheart" Red smiled. But his smile disappeared quickly when he saw the snowball that was coming towards his face. He ducked and avoided the ball nicely.
"Did you come out here to keep me company or to distract me from my work?" Red laughed, ducking from another snowball.
"Well, I already wanted to do this last time you were out here chopping wood but my leg kept me from coming outside, so all I could do was watch you from the window. Now I get my chance to finally do so", Liz said while throwing another snowball at Red.
"Aha! So you were watching me the other day? I thought I saw the curtain move but wasn't sure".
"Eh, well, eh, yes I was…"Liz admitted reluctantly, "I guess I just really like watching you doing manual labour. Although it would be so much better without you wearing all those layers of clothes", she chuckled.
Red raised an eyebrow and smiled at her as he put the axe down for a moment to throw a snowball back at her. "I would love to get into a snowball fight with you but I really need to get this done, darling" he said while picking up the axe to resume his work.
"Sure thing, gorgeous" Liz replied, "You keep chopping and I will see if there's something we can munch on later".
After almost an hour of chopping wood Red was sure they would have enough logs to last them a couple of days. He went back inside where Liz was already waiting for him with some crackers with onion relish and a bowl of olives.
"Oh, that's lovely and very welcome", Red said while stroking his hand over his belly. They sat at the kitchen table while quietly eating the snacks.
"I've been sweating like crazy, so if you don't mind I'm going for a quick shower"
"I don't mind at all…but maybe you would like some company?" Liz asked shyly.
This whole thing with her and Red was so new and she was still a bit unsure about what Red wanted. But she was quickly reassured when he pulled her close.
"Mmm, that is a great idea, Elizabeth" Red smiled at her, "Or how about taking a bath instead of a shower?"
Liz immediately agreed to that idea and Red went into the bathroom to get the bath going. In the meantime Liz fetched them a bottle of wine and two glasses and she couldn't help but feel butterflies at the thought of sharing the tub with Red.
When the bath was ready, Red went in and made himself comfortable by lying back and closing his eyes. Oh that was lovely, he thought, as the hot water soothed his sore muscles. Chopping wood was definitely hard work and not something he was used to doing.
He looked up when he heard Liz come in and a huge smile spread across his face.
She was already stark naked except for the red thong and was carrying a bottle of wine. After taking her thong off, she poured them two generous glasses, handed Red one and slowly lowered herself into the water.
Red couldn't believe he was sharing this tub with this beautiful woman. It felt like a dream. "Cheers" they said in unison, clinking their glasses.
They sat across from each other for a while, talking, drinking and laughing, their legs entangled. But soon the conversation died and the air was charged with sexual tension. They couldn't hold back any longer.
Liz went to sit on her knees in between Red's legs; she leaned forward and placed her hands on Red's shoulders. She planted a kiss on his lips, soft at first but the kiss deepened almost immediately.
Red's hands went to Liz's back, stroking it and pulling her in closer. Soft moans escaped them both as their hands started exploring each other's bodies.
Red lifted Liz up and sat her in his lap, her legs either side of him. Liz could feel him pressed against her inner thigh, already hard and ready.
Their kiss slowed a little while they were catching their breath, nipping at each other's tongues and lips, while one of Red's hands went to her breast and the other down to Liz's folds.
Even in the water he felt that she was already very wet as he started to slowly dip one finger in and out of her. "Oh yes, Raymond" Liz moaned and Red loved the fact that she called him by his name. He added another finger, which elicited another groan from Liz.
She was now moaning loudly in Red's ear and Red could sense that she was close. He pulled his fingers out and slowly stroked her around her clit with his thumb, avoiding the little bud on purpose.
It was driving Liz crazy and she could feel her whole body ache for a release.
"Please, Red…don't stop" she managed to whisper.
Red kept stroking her and added his fingers inside her again. After a few more strokes he could feel her muscles clamp around his fingers.
Liz's whole body shuddered as she reached her orgasm. She held on tight to Red's broad shoulders, writhing against him. Oh my god, this man's hands work magic, she thought as she slowly came down from her high.
As she regained composure she grabbed Red's face and kissed him long and deep. She couldn't think of a better way to show her love for him right now.
"I want to feel you", she said, as she looked him deep in his eyes.
Due to the lack of space Liz figured that the easiest way was for her to get on her back. Red sat up and somehow worked his way between her legs, lying on top of her and leaning on his arms to keep his weight off of Liz.
Liz wrapped her legs around him and they had to laugh at how uncomfortable sex in a bathtub was. "Somehow this all seemed like a great idea in my head", Red chuckled.
He leaned down to kiss her and Liz's hand moved down to place his member at her entrance. As Red pushed himself inside her, Liz couldn't help but think about how weird this felt in the water.
As Red started moving, the water started splashing over the edge of the tub.
"Oh-my-god", Red exclaimed, as he started moving in a faster pace.
It didn't take very long before Red was about to come.
"Am…almost…there…sweet…heart" he huffed and Liz squeezed her legs even closer. "Me too…hold on", she said as she started to stroke herself.
Red came with a loud groan and that was enough to push Liz over the edge as well. They rode out their orgasms together.
"Wow, that was…just wow" Red said as he tried to get up again. That was more difficult than he thought because of the tight space and he kept slipping back onto Liz, who started laughing harder and harder.
"Yes, that was quite something" she giggled as she lent Red a hand in getting up.
After sitting in the tub for a little while, kissing and cuddling, the water started to get cold.
"What do you say we take a quick shower now? Wash our hair and actually get clean", Liz suggested with a wink. "Sounds like a plan" Red said while draining the tub.
Red insisted on washing Liz and her hair and Liz returned the favour. It almost led to another sexual adventure as Red had a hard time keeping his hands off Liz's body but they soon realised that the warm water wasn't going to last.
After getting into their sleep wear they sat in bed under the blanket, cosy by the fire.
Liz was about to brush her hair when Red grabbed her hand "Please, let me".
He took the brush from her and carefully started to run it through her hair.
He was so gentle and immediately stopped every time the brush hit a tangle in Liz's hair.
Liz closed her eyes and enjoyed this moment of them being so close and in a situation she thought they would never be in. Never in a million years did she think the Raymond Reddington would end up brushing her hair and she smiled to herself.
Red ran his hand over her hair. "All done I think. Now, let me get something to eat before we settle down with a book", Red said while getting up.
Liz was already in heaven thinking about Red reading to her.
He came back with the rest of the bottle of wine that Liz had opened before and a bag of chips. "This will do. Now, move over sweetheart and let's get comfortable, we've got some reading to do", he smiled at her.
Liz had already fetched her book of choice "The Wizard of Oz" and got some more pillows from the bedroom and propped them so Red could sit up a little while she rested her head on his shoulder, her left arm wrapped around his chest.
"Ok, I'm ready!" Liz said excitedly, snuggling closer to Red. He put an arm around her while holding the book with his other hand. "Good, let's get started".
He read chapter after chapter, both were lost in the story and forgot about the chips, only occasionally taking a sip of their wine.
Liz always loved Red's voice but listening to him reading to her was something magical. She loved the deep sounds and the timbre of it and lying with her ear near his chest made that sound even better.
As Liz grew tired, she lowered her head from Red's shoulder to his chest, wrapping her arm around his waist. She closed her eyes but kept on listening.
It didn't take long for her to drift off to sleep though and when Red realised she was asleep, he put the book aside.
"Sleep well, my princess," he whispered as he kissed the top of her head. He carefully took away a few pillows and lay down with Liz's head still on his chest.
He wrapped his arms around her and closed his eyes. What a perfect ending to a perfect day, he thought.
