Sloth: laziness or lack of effort
Cool sheets are pressed up against her skin. Her body lay out on the king size bed, the lovers fit oh so perfectly on it. Their limbs tangled, their calm breaths making the only noise in the quiet bedroom.
Elena laid on her side, her eyes shut so peacefully, Kol didn't dare make a move. He wanted his lover to get as much sleep and she possibly could. Plus he loved to watch her sleep, she was so beautiful when she did.
Not that he didn't enjoy her awake, oh he so enjoyed looking into her big brown eyes and he would gladly get lost into them. But he also loved looking at her long eyelashes, he loved taking in each, and every detail she had to offer.
He loved to kiss her cute button nose. He loved to brush his lips up against her plump pink lips. He loved the taste they had to offer, he loved to gently drag his fingertips against her jaw, her skin was so soft, softer than the finest silks that anyone could ever make.
But his favorite thing about her was her hair. Her long, brown hair had him obsessed. He remembers when they first met, it was her hair that had drawn him in, it was her scent that had him in traced. It was an odd thing to be obsessed with, yes, but it was his favorite feature she had.
He loved running his fingers threw it, brushing threw the soft dark hair, it was like an overflowing river, it just kept flowing, and flowing, and flowing. Until eventually his fingers would get caught in a knot or two, but he didn't mind, he loved stroking her hair, almost as much as he loved pulling it when he would get caught up in his own ecstasy.
It was a kink of his, he loved to take perfect things and just ruin it for his own sexual gain. Pulling hair never failed to turn him on, he loved to be the one in control, plus the sounds Elena would make when he did pleased him, it was not only encouragement but also it let him know that he was doing this too her, he was making her feel good and she was enjoying it just as much as he was.
Maybe that was why he was so obsessed with her hair, his desire to pull it, his desire to take her calm, straight hair and turn it into a tangled and frizzy mess. It always gave him a hard on just thinking about it.
But today, today was a different story. He was in no mood to tug and pull on it, today he just wanted to lay in bed with her, enjoy her company without any distractions. Ahhh, his favorite kind of day, one where there was nothing to disturb him or his love, one where it was in fact just him and her, a day where she had his undivided attention and he had hers.
He continued to watch and study his lover as she slept. Kol couldn't get enough of her, she was like some kind of sleeping angel that had somehow sneaked into his bedroom at night.
She was the star in his dreams and she was the one who chased off his darkest thoughts, his greatest lost, and the saddest times he has ever been through. Elena had always found a way to get him out of his dark and depressing ways, she brought light into his life and Kol couldn't have been more grateful for this saint of a woman. His woman, his saint of a woman.
Elena is what made Kol want to stay in bed for hours and hours on end, doing nothing but admiring how life was ten times better with her in his arms.
As his hand slowly reached up to caress her face, her eyelids twitched, he could see them begin to flutter and slowly they opened. Now he was looking right into her big brown eyes. The ones that he loved so much.
He smiled, he had no reason not too. He was wrapped up in white sheets, with the love of his life sleeping so soundly, or was sleeping so soundly in his arms. So how could he not smile?
Kol's smile only got bigger once Elena returned the grin. The lazy grin dancing on her beautiful lips, he loved a lot of things about Elena and her smile was definitely in his top three favorites about her. Kol had no struggle deciding which physical feature belonged in the number one spot, that being obviously her hair.
But when it came down to her eyes and lips, he struggled a bit on which one belonged in number two, soon he decided and placed her lips in number two spot.
The way they curled into that small grin or tiny smirk, it made her eyes dazzle with this incredible wonder. She had this certain sparkle in her eyes whenever she smiled and Kol had to thank her lips for causing that wonder and sparkle to come alive.
And he didn't mind the fact that if Elena had let him, he would gladly kiss her all day and he doubts he would ever get tired of it.
She sighed, the small breath of air brushed against his face, shutting her eyes for a moment, Kol thought for a second that she may just fall back asleep but than she opened her eyes and looked over at him. Her body rolled on top of him, Elena's legs lay on each side of his waist, her arms on either side of his head and they were holding her up as she sat on top of Kol, looking down at him.
Her hair fell down, covering the side of her face, it blocked out the morning sunlight, her only focus was the man bellow her. "Were you being creepy again?" She teased him.
Kol laughed, the smile completely took over his face. He loves this woman and he would do anything for this woman. His hand slowly reached up and brushed back the hair that fell, he wanted to see her face. "So, what if I was?"
Elena giggled. God, the sound was like music to his ears. There was nothing Kol loved more than seeing her happy. Elena moved her hands and gently crossed her arms on Kol's chest, she rested her head on her arms and sighed. She slowly inhaled Kol's morning scent, he smelled like a fresh load of laundry. The scent clean and warm, with a hint of lavender. She thought.
Elena yawned, her eyes getting heavier, slowly the world around her was going black and soon she saw nothing. She focused on her other senses, her hearing picked up on Kol's beating heart. Thump, thump, thump. It never stopped, his heart just kept pounding as it pumped his blood all throughout his body.
It was a calming noise to listen to. She felt hands make their way around her. She grinned. "I love the sound of your heart" Elena admitted.
He chuckled, the rumble of his chest rocking Elena gently. "Who's being creepy now?"
She sighed. "No comment"
He laughed, his arms tightened around her small body, flipping them over, so now Kol was on top. Elena squealed at the sudden movement. The bed sheets that were once laid on their bed so perfectly before they went to sleep, were now thrown everywhere, tangled up between the two warm bodies.
Kol snuggled his face in Elena's neck, she giggled, her hands trying to push his face away. "Okay! Okay! Kol, stop!" Elena laughed.
He removed his face from her shoulder and gazed down at her. He studied her in this position, her hair spiraled out, the sheets all wrapped around her in such a way that makes her look like a goddess. "I love you" he whispered.
Her face soften. "I love you too"
Kol leaned down, his forehead touched her's. Elena's hands made their way to cup his face. Her head lifted up and she caught his lips with hers.
Kol's chest swelled up, he couldn't have been any happier than in this moment. If the world was ending right at this very moment than Kol would not have cared any less.
If it meant that he would get to die right here with Elena, than he would have no problem with letting the world burn away.
