It Can't Be

Fairy Tale

I woke up to shuffling coming from Elijah's side of the bed. I groaned in discontempt at his abandoning me in the bed.

"Good morning love" he cooed placing his hand on my head, "Sleep well?" I nodded cuddling into his hand. Apparently in the morning I turned into a cat.

"Do you have to go?" my voice was thick with sleep and by the look on Elijah's face that was a good thing. He kissed the top of my head and nodded.

"Sadly I have a job as an English teacher"

"What a bother" I groaned into my pillow. I really, really didn't want him to leave. Quickly I latched onto his neck and snuggled my face into his chest. His smell was intoxicating and I couldn't help but linger. I mean if you had your own personal heater that smelled like bliss and spearmint would you let go? He chuckled and stroked my hair,

"Sorry but duty calls" I frowned into his chest,

"I'm a duty and I'm calling. Call in sick" I was surprised at my forwardness. Normally Elijah and I went back and forth between arguing and him leaving me speechless with his chivalry. I must have been extremely tired.

"You're very much so are a duty, but I took out too many sick days already. After today we'll be on winter break and I'll be around all the time. Now go back to sleep, it's a bit early for you" He tried to pull away, I resisted.

"Carter"

"Hm?"

"You need to let go"

"Do I?" I was enjoying my sudden defiance, it made things more... interesting. I snuggled my way up to his neck and planted small delicate kisses down his neck. I felt him shudder at the touch of my lips and I couldn't stop the smile that formed.

"Carter you know I need to leave I ugn" I found a soft spot on his neck and had nipped it lightly. Oh boy was this fun.

"You were saying?" my voice was breathy and condescending. Nothing pleased me more than this moment, teasing Mr Elijah.

"Carter I really do need to go- oh to hell with it" In one swift movement he was on top of me, one of his legs between mine and his arms caging me in. Before I could utter so much as a smart comment his lips were on mine, hungrily devouring me like I was his lifeline. I obviously reciprocated, and I did so with just as much ferocity. I arched my back trying to be as close to him as possible, trying to meld our bodies. He seemed to have the same idea because he leaned back into me pulling the breath out of my lungs. All I could think of was his lips, his body, him. He took over every sense in my overly willing body and I couldn't say that I minded. All too soon he pulled away, allowing some air to return to their rightful place in my lungs.

"How do you do this to me," he breathed, "make me lose control like this" He seemed to be searching my face for answers as his eyes darted around my face. A satisfied grin found it's way onto my face and I giggled.

"I guess I just have that affect on people" his eyes went a little hard,

"Done this with someone else have you?" a blush stained my cheeks and I averted his eyes.

"N-no" I didn't have to look at him to know he was smirking. My stuttering response surely was enough to boost his confidence.

"So I guess," He brought his face down next to my ear where the warmth of his breath sent shivers down my back, "you just have that affect on me" and again his mouth was on mine.

Lets just say that Elijah was late for work. We didn't do anything bad if that's what your naughty brain was thinking, just some very very intense kissing.
