The first thing you notice is how warm you are. Warm and comfortable. Ice’s arms are wrapped around your waist and your head somehow found its way onto his chest while you were sleeping. You can feel the slow, steady beating of his heart against your ear and it’s soothing and comforting. The sense of peace won’t last for long, but for now, you’re perfectly happy to take the peace as long as it lasts.

Movement under you and a familiar stirring alerts you to the fact that Ice is awake and you smirk, reaching a hand down to stroke between his legs. Both of you are naked, so it’s easy to manipulate your partner’s member until it’s at half-mast.

Ice groans, reaching down to tangle his fingers in your hair, gently pulling you up to kiss your lips. “Keep doing that and I’ll release far earlier than you want me to,” he whispers against your mouth.

“Maybe that’s what I want,” you retort. “I like it when you lose control, Ice. When I make you lose control.”

He smirks at you and kisses you again, this time with a bit more force and pressure behind it. His tongue slips into your mouth and he suddenly flips you both over, pinning you under him. He lowers his head and flicks his tongue against the pulse in your neck, before grazing it with his teeth.

If it was anyone other than Ice doing this, you’d be embarrassed at the whimpering groan that escapes your lips. You arch your neck up towards his lips and wrap your arms around him, pulling him down.

His whole body vibrates with his laughter and he gently bites down on your neck. “I didn’t say you could do that,” he murmurs. His fingers slide between your legs, beginning to stroke and manipulate your member while he kisses and bites your neck.

You can feel the marks he leaves behind and gasp out, “Don’t bite me too high up. I don’t want to encourage any awkward questions.”

“Not to worry, Mav.” Ice smirks. “I’ll mark you all over, right where your clothes cover. No one else will see, but both of us will know the marks are there.”

“Yeah?” you retort. “Works both ways, Ice.” You bite his shoulder, sucking until you leave a red mark behind. Then, you lick the spot and give him a smug smile. “Aren’t you glad I got us both the day off?”

“Yeah. How’d you wrangle us both getting today?” Ice pulls back to look into your eyes.

“Told them I wanted to fuck you into the mattress.”

Ice snorts softly and props himself up with a hand on either side of you, looking into your eyes. “I didn’t notice any tossing and turning last night. You sleep okay?”

Now there’s a question. You’ve certainly had plenty of nightmares recently. But as you think about it, maybe you missed having one last night.
