Here's a late Christmas gift, enjoy!

Miss Honey startled awake for a moment, yet another dream of her father and Agatha. They've been awful lately, she wasn't quite sure why. Jenny took in her surroundings and brought the covers down to her waist as she tried to settle the fast pace of her heart. With a soft sigh, she went to try and close her eyes and go back to sleep, but felt an arm slowly move to rest at her waist, pulling her closer. The brunette immediately recognized the touch and smiled, scooting closer to her till her back was now against the woman's chest. The woman's nail traced a gentle pattern against her hip through the fabric of her nightgown, Jenny eventually taking her hand and holding it close in hers against her chest, placing a soft kiss on her knuckles. The older woman slowly opened her eyes, placing a soft kiss against the woman's back in the open space of her nightgown, sending a small shiver through the younger woman.

"Nightmare?" She whispers, her breath hitting against Jenny's skin. She hummed an answer before turning over onto her other side, cuddling up against the older woman with a content sigh. She's grown used to them but now with Alma beside her, they seem much easier to handle.

The brunette leaned up and placed a soft kiss on her cheek, gaining the woman's eyes to open once more. Alma's gaze softened, leaning down and catching her lips instead, kissing her softly before pulling away.

"What time is it?" Jenny asks quietly, Alma glancing over at the clock on the wall of her bedroom.

"4:56."

"More time for us still?" She asks hopefully, Alma smiling with a small nod. "Perfect." Jenny purrs, nuzzling against her warmth and felt the woman's chest move slightly when she chuckled, pulling her closer as she leaned down and placed a soft kiss against her lips again. Jenny smiled as she leaned up to deepen it, the older woman letting out a satisfied hum when she did. Her talons carefully raked down the woman's sides, Jenny shivering at the touch as the fabric of her nightgown rippled with each one, a faint pink speckling across her cheeks as she slowly sat up, towering over the older woman to close any gaps that were previously between them. Alma didn't seem to argue, a heat coiling in the ymbrynes lower stomach as her nails moved down to Jenny's hips, pulling her down to sit on her stomach. The brunette felt the ravenettes tongue glide across her bottom lip, wanting entry and Jenny only smiled, not quite giving her the satisfaction yet before pulling away. Alma let out a frustrated huff, looking up at the woman who looked down at her with a slight smirk dancing on her lips.

"I'm sorry for waking you, Miss Peregrine. I'll let you go back to sleep." She smiles, about to move off of her when the taller woman suddenly pushed her on to the bed, drawing a surprised gasp from Jenny who looked up at the woman wide-eyed and cheeks blazing red.

"You can't just end it there." She says with a glare, but Jenny seen the pink that spread across her cheeks and giggled.

"Did I get you flustered? Oh, bluebird. Such a lovely look on you." Jenny compliments with a grin, her tone dropping slowly as she spoke and only building the heat in Alma's stomach as her desire grew. The ravenette leaned down and connected her lips with hers once more, the brunette feeling her heart race at the touch, each kiss sending a spark through her core.

"Alma." Jenny whispered, letting out a surprised whimper when she felt the woman nip at her collarbone, placing gentle, soft kisses down her neckline afterwards. She moved back down to the stinging spot, trailing her tongue over it to soothe the pain that Jenny only found a pleasure.

"You're so perfect, little bird." She whispers, her breath hitting the woman's neck and Jenny felt her face flush as she tried to send her a thank you, but it came out as shaky when the older woman carefully trailed her tongue alongside her neck and down to her collarbone. Her talons dug into her hips, her grip on Jenny's nightgown tightening with each noise the younger woman made, each one music to her ears. It only urged Alma to continue, the brunette suddenly cupping her face and pulling her close to hers, firmly meeting her lips to the point it was bruising. The ravenette moved to get off the woman, Jenny going to press her back down with a whine when Alma shushed her, lifting the woman's legs slightly aside so she could reside in between them. She took a moment to gaze down at the brown-eyed woman underneath her, adoring every detail on her. Her eyes trailed down from her blown pupils that covered almost every speck of brown in them, noticing the pink that complimented her cheeks. The faint freckles she's always noticed on her shoulders speckled lightly by the neckline of her nightgown, the pale pink adding more warmth to the woman's toned skin. Jenny felt her stomach flutter at the way the woman looked at her, nothing but pure love shining on her face, her indigo eyes sparkling with happiness as she looked down at her.
