Reflections of Light

Bliss

As Nyx drifted back into consciousness, she became aware of the feeling of hands tracing over her naked skin. Pressing her face into the cool fabric of her pillow, she laughed. "Good morning."

"I think it's midday, actually."

"Huh. Damn, they're probably looking for you."

He kissed her shoulder lightly. "If they haven't figured it out by now, they're not as smart as I've given them credit for."

Nyx snorted loudly, rolling up into giggles. "Well, that's embarrassing."

He smiled wickedly; nipping playfully at her throat.

She grinned, turning to plant a kiss on his lips. "Well, I'll take their lack of objection as permission."

"I am at your mercy." He teased, rolling so she lay on top of him.

She cackled, caging him in with a hand either side of his head. "Don't say that, I'll get ideas. Perhaps I shall keep you here, as my prisoner." She teased.

He grinned, pulling her down to kiss her hungrily. "It won't take much of a fight."

"Do you know what colour your eyes go when you-"

"Shush." They were walking to the kitchen, hand in hand; having finally dressed and emerged from the bedroom in search of food.

"No, seriously, I have seen colours no man has seen before." He teased, nuzzling her ear and burying his face in her hair.

"You won't see it again either if you don't give it a rest." Nyx mock-scolded.

"Liar." He chuckled, capturing her mouth once again.

"Can you two not talk like that in a public area?" Maddie said, walking into the kitchen and heading for the fridge. "Please. Other people exist."

"It's revenge for when you were dating my brother." Nyx joked.

Maddie rolled her eyes. "You two know you're in trouble, right?"

"What's new?" He laughed.

"We should go out somewhere." He said.

"We should." Nyx agreed, snuggled up to him on the sofa; her head laying on his shoulder. "But I don't think they'll let us. Otherwise I'd make you take me out somewhere nice."

"In the future." He promised.

"Hmmm." She sighed happily. "Of course, I do equally enjoy you reading to me, so you can continue, if you like."

"Oh, if I like?"

Nyx giggled. "What can I say? I'm in love with your voice."

"Just my voice?" He chuckled, picking the book up off his lap and opening it to the marked page. "Oh, I see how it is."

She laughed suddenly as he tickled her sides; dropping the book again to free up both his hands as she squirmed and squealed. "No, stop, I was teasing!"

"What do you have to say for yourself now?" He crowed, pinning her to the sofa.

She smiled. "I love you."

He blinked, as if caught by surprise. Then, surging forwards, he took possession of her lips once more; fiercely, indulgently, desperately. "I love you." He breathed, kissing a path along her jaw and down her throat. Her breath stilled on her lips; sparks running up and down her spine, heart thumping in her ears.

The door flew open with a loud crash, making them spring apart in surprise. Into the room burst Luci; wide-eyed and teeth bared in a manic frenzy.
Nyx froze, immediately panicking. In response he leapt up, ready to defend as she rushed towards them; only to be interrupted as she desperatly blurted out, "I need your help!"

The happy moments don't last long uninterrupted, do they? XD
Not so long of a chapter this week, but I'm glad I got this up on time; it's my birthday this week and there was no chance of anything getting published then. XD
Hope you enjoy!
