CHAPTER THREE;
UNDER THE COVERS.

el rolled off of mike breathlessly. she couldn't help but smile, coming down from the euphoric high he had just brought her to. this was one of her favorite parts of their arrangement -- aside from her obvious favorite part. she loved the moment after when they were still catching their breaths, stupid grins painting their flushed faces.

normally she would never initiate the cuddling. it was always mike that would pull her limp body against his even if she weakly protested, but not tonight. once her respirations steadied she tucked herself beneath his arm, surprising even him.

she felt him chuckle against her, "you okay? you never want to cuddle."

she shushed him. "just enjoy it, won't you?" the arm wrapped around her tugged her even closer. she closed her eyes and hummed lightly.

"alright, you're being weird. is something wrong?" he asked, more seriously this time.

her eyes snapped back open and she huffed. "it's nothing. i just, i have a lot on my mind," she halfheartedly explained, not wanting to delve too deep into things. they were fuck buddies, hardly even friends seeing as they wouldn't even speak each other if it weren't for their purely physical desires.

mike shrugged, knowing it was most likely out of his territory. a smirk then crossed his lips. "need s'more distracting?" he proposed, already propping himself up.

she smiled, "you recharge that quick, now? wow, i'm really whipping you into shape."

he rolled his eyes, moving his face to the junction of her neck. "i was thinking more as i could do something for you," the hint slipped his lips just before they met her skin. she felt a flutter within herself at the idea. "but you'd have to tell me what you want," he spoke, still placing soft, teasing kisses along her neck.

she released a breathy giggle, "i think you already know what i want."

"nu-uh," he murmured, dragging his opened mouth to her collarbones. "say it, ellie," he knew daniel called her that and didn't think twice about stealing the nickname. his hand slowly ran down her body to squeeze her hip, earning a moan from her lips.

she bit her lip to minimize the noise, knowing it only gave him more satisfaction. "i want you to kiss me," she heaved, her fingers tangling in his messy curls. he pulled away from her skin, moving back up to hover above her face. she watched when his dilated eyes fell to her lips, making her shake her head in response. her pointer finger fell to her lips. "but not here."

"where?" he huskily asked, now biting his own lip.

her hand rested on the tops of his shoulders, already pushing him down her body, "i want you to kiss me under the covers."

mike feigned ignorance, "under the covers, hm?" he kissed her flat tummy, rolling his eyes up to watch her. "like this?"

she huffed, pushing him down more forcefully but his position didn't budge. "mike," she whined.

he scraped his teeth against her hip bones, rubbing his hands against her thighs. "oh, i think i know what you want," he replied. he pushed her legs apart, lowering himself even further beneath the warm duvet. "you want me.." he began, peppering her inner thighs with kisses. "..to.." her head pushed further into her pillows as his hot mouth neared the one place that seared for him so desperately. "..eat-"
