"Micah."
I groaned slightly at the sound.
"Micah, wake up," a voice sang to me.
I groaned again, louder this time.
"Micah, babe, you can't stay asleep all day," the sing-song voice chided me, "you have to wake up now."
"It's Sunday," I mumbled in protest.
"Exactly! It's your one day off this week, and you're wasting it by sleeping! Come on, it's pracatically noon already."
Through one half-opened eye, I glanced the alarm clock on my bedside table:
8:46 A.M
it read in harsh red numbers.
"You're an ass." I felt a scruffy chin against my cheek, followed by a brief kiss. I yawned in response.
"Oh, don't be like that. You know how I hate to be alone. I just miss you, especially since we've both been working so much."
I had to give him that one - we'd both been working 60+ hours a week, with our days off never coinciding with one another. Reluctantly, I peeled my face off my pillow and turned to him.
"Good morning," I greeted him with a breathy sigh. He flashed me a dazzling smile.
"There's my beautiful boyfriend. I was worried you'd begun to mold there."
So dramatic.
"Nick, it's not even 9 yet. And if I may add, we were up rather late last night."
He bit his lip and eyed me devilishly. "Yes, yes we were. You didn't seem to mind being kept up so late
as I
remember it. And why was that? Do
you
remember?"
A flash of memories from the night before filled my mind - Nick and I, drinking wine over dinner, watching a movie, cuddling beneath an old blanket. Then, the two of us forgetting the movie altogether as we expored each others' mouths and bodies as if for the first time, even after two years together. And some time after that which could have been minutes or hours, me tugging him by his lips with my teeth into our bedroom, only a few steps away in our tiny apartment. I recalled the two of us falling onto our bed, tangled in the sheets and each other, eager to please and be pleased while our tongues danced carnally and unrestrained. Nick popping up unexpectedly looking half-crazed, reaching behind him with a deft hand in search of an almost empty bottle of --
"Micah? Still there?"
His amused questions snapped me back to reality. "Well, if you'd have had kept your hands to yourself, I might not be so put-out."
He rolled his eyes. "Oh, don't make yourself into a martyr. If I'd kept my hands to myself you'd be begging me to so much as glance at you right now."
I gave him a kiss on his beautiful, smugly set lips. His stubble scratched me in the most pleasant way, and I was just going to deepen the kiss when he pulled away. I gave him a quizzical look.
"Babe, and I say this with all the love in my heart, but you really have to go brush your teeth." He gave me an adorably apologetic look.
Fully awake, I hopped out of bed and went to brush me teeth. Of course, Nick had already brushed his teeth, being the sleep Nazi he is. If it weren't that I liked his facial hair so much he probably would have been shaved, too. Since he never cleaned the sink out after he shaved, it was doubly beneficial.
"It's raining," he said to me by way of greeting as I returned.
"So it is," I agreed as I glanced out the window. I hoped he wasn't planning on going hiking, as he'd mentioned in passing a couple times the week before. I climbed back into bed and turned towards him. "Maybe we can just take it easy today? I know how you like to go out and do things, but a day together here sounds nice too, right?"
He chuckled at my anxious hopefulness. "You know, that sounds great to me."
"Really?"
"Yeah, we haven't had much alone time as of late. We somehow never seem to be able to manage a day or two together."
"I completely agree," I said with a sly smile. "What do you want to do first?"
He stroked my arm lightly, and leaned in close to me. He trailed small kisses from the corner of my lips to me left ear.
"How's breakfast sound?" he whispered seductively.
"Mmm, delicious," I replied as I licked my lips.
All of a sudden, I was alone in the bed and Nick was pulling on a pair of grey sweatpants.
"What are you doing?" I asked, completely confused.
"I'm going to make breakfast," he replied, his eyes twinkling.
"Breakfast?"
"Yes, breakfast. As in, actual food."
"You really are an ass," I muttered as he walked away.
"I heard that!"
"You were meant to," I called to him.
I slipped on a pair of boxer briefs and followed into the kitchen, where Nick was already heating a pan and beating eggs.
Damn, he moves fast.
I admired the way his ass looked beneath the thin fabric of his pants as he poured the yellow mixture into the hot pan.
"Hey, would you mind helping? Or are you too busy ogling me?"
"You know it," I smiled at him, unabashed. But to appease him (and to prevent him from cracking an egg on my head) I put a couple pieces of bread to toast. I pulled out a two plates, and served our drinks.
In a few minutes the omelettes were done, the bread toasted. We sat together at our small round table and ate in relative silence. After we finished, I cleaned up - okay, I threw the dishes into our dishwasher - while Nick watched from his seat at the table, a small smile playing at the corners of his lips.
"Are you ogling me now," I asked with faux-shock.
"You're damn right I am. Come here."
I abandoned the pretense of cleaning up and went to him. I held his face in both my hands and kissed him softly. He reached up to me and knotted his fingers into my hair, slipping his tongue into my mouth with a small sigh. I moaned slightly as the kiss deepened, my breath coming in gasps. Our tongues danced together heatedly and my hands drifted to the base of his neck. All at once I pulled away, grabbed his hand, and wordlessly, we made our way to our bedroom.
Once there we took up where we'd left off, assaulting one another's mouth with tongues, moans, and sighs. My hands travelled to his bare chest, and I ran my hands through his sparse hair. He leaned his head back, momentarily breaking the kiss, and groaned loudly. Taking this as an invitation, I lowered my lips to one pebbled nipple, bringing forth a breathy moan from Nick. I circled my tongue around the stiff peak before clamping my teeth around it and pulling back slightly. I took a look at his elongated nipple and groaned at the sight of it before repeating the erotic practice on its twin.
"Oh...keep that up," he begged.
I blew softly on his erect nipple causing it to tighten, and Nick to take a sharp breath inward. Once more I enveloped him with my lips, licking, sucking, and biting until he was writhing deliciously beneath me
I let him go again, and he brought me up forcefully to meet his lips, kissing me with a sort of crazed hunger. I could feel his erection lightly poking me, and could almost taste the need on his lips. I continued to play with his nipples, tweaking them and rolling them between my fingers, while his hands began to make a journey downwards.
They skimmed lightly over my hairy chest and belly, until they finally met the top of my waistband. He stroked me through the thin piece of clothing, my member already fully at attention and waiting to be lavished. He did not attempt to remove my briefs, nor so much as work around them; he seemed perfectly content to drive me mad as he haphazardly teased me through my briefs with one hand, and agonizingly caressed my thigh with the other.
