Chapter 14 - All I Want For Christmas is You

Summary:
It's Christmas Eve night and Rio and Marcus are spending the night at Beth's house. (Also, sorry for the delay I've been a little busy :D)

Beth comes tiptoeing down the stairs, making sure to stay quiet, "Yeah, they're asleep." She takes the final steps down and makes her way towards the couch.
"You sure?" Rio turns to look at Beth, continuing to poke at the fireplace.
"Yeah, my kids are heavy sleepers. Does Marcus sleep well?" Sitting, Beth grabs her wine glass and takes a long swig.
"Once he's asleep, it's hard to wake him up." Rio stands, the fire blazing behind him, he walks towards the couch.
Beth sets down the wine glass, watching as Rio approaches her, reaching for her waist. Pulling Beth upwards to stand, he grabs her hand and leads her downwards near the fireplace.
"Here again?" Beth smiles, meeting Rio's eyes as he hovers above her.
Wanting to change the dynamic, Beth grabs for Rio's shoulders, swapping places with him. Now on top, she kicks each of her legs over his body, straddling his hips. Leaning down, she places a small peck on Rio's lips, pulling away quickly. Letting out a small groan of impatience, Rio reaches his hands downwards, palming her backside. Beth noticing, pushes back, open mouthed. Her tongue pushing past his closed teeth, both working their mouths against each other's. Rio's hands inch upwards, reaching the hem on her sweater, tugging lightly. Beth let's out a small moan into his mouth, almost immediately after, Rio is pulling from the kiss and ripping the shirt off of her back. Lifting her arms up, Beth allows her sweater to be discarded across the room. Returning once more, this time Beth's lips brush Rio's delicately, changing position to sit upwards. The taste of her lipstick lingering on his lips, she lets out a bright smile before reaching at the buttons of his shirt. Her fingers working down quickly, she pulls it all the way off, moving her hands towards his chest. Rio watches Beth's facial expressions as she traces lines down his body with her finger tips. Letting out a small grin, he sits upwards, Beth still in his lap.
Reaching behind her thighs, Rio finds his way to his feet, Beth wrapping her legs around his hips. Walking her towards the couch, he drops her down gently, following with kisses down her neck and chest. Rio places his hands downwards on her hips, his fingers teasing the waistband on her jeans, moving inwards towards the button. Going slowly, he undoes the button and pulls down, her jeans lowering beneath her hips. Beth holds her hands onto his shoulders, lifting her neck allowing more space for his kisses. Pulling them all the way off, Rio moves away from her neck, taking her entire body in. Beth eyes downwards towards Rio's jeans, trying to make a hint towards him. Smiling in response, he begins undoing his jeans, taking them all the way off, throwing them across the room along with his boxers. Now fully exposed, he reaches towards Beth's waist, sliding his hands behind her to undo the clasp to her bra. Wriggling the straps down her arms, Rio grabs it and places it down near the coffee table. Leaning down, he places more kisses down her chest, lowering even more. Beth growing impatient, she wiggles under his touch, hoping he'll notice. As he does, Rio moves his hands down to the sides of her panties, pulling them off quickly, tossing them away, them falling onto the skirt of the Christmas tree.
"Open your legs for me ma." Rio grabbing his length, awaiting permission.
Beth spreads her legs open, looking Rio in the eyes as he glances down to line his cock up against her entrance. Pushing all the way in, Beth moves her hand towards her mouth, remembering that they aren't fully alone. Proceeding to move in and out of her slowly, Rio begins increasing the speed, deepening each stroke with passion. Beth remaining her hand over her mouth, the only sounds in the room are their breaths quickening, as well as their bodies colliding. Reaching his hands towards her shoulders, Rio moves them up and down her body, feeling her soft skin under his fingers. One hand coming downwards towards her clit, he begins rubbing her quickly, matching the pace of his strokes. Beth now almost screaming beneath her hand, she arches her back reaching her orgasm. Taking her hand off of her face, she moves it towards the couch, gripping the cushion tightly. Rio continues to thrust into her quickly, soon reaching his after. Falling down into her neck, his hot breath hitting her skin. Beth rests one hand on his back, beginning to trace lines up and down, Rio still breathless lying next to her. Remaining in this position for a few minutes, Rio pulls out and makes his way onto his feet. Walking towards the kitchen to grab a paper towel, coming back to Beth's side, he cleans her up. Taking the towel back into the kitchen to throw it away. Beth sits up, grabbing a throw pillow from the other side of the couch, watching as Rio retrieves his pants and boxers. Pulling them back on, he joins Beth on the couch.
"You want me to get your clothes?" Rio's hand stroking her thigh lightly.
"No it's okay. I'm going to shower." Beth removes the pillow from her lap, standing and making her way to the stairs. Rio watching as she walks with a slight limp, smiling to himself.

Beth continues downstairs, wringing her hair out with her towel. Glancing towards the living room, it's been completely cleaned up. Beth's panties no longer under the tree, instead all of the presents. Walking over, she sees that even Marcus' presents have been included. Rio now sitting in the kitchen watches as she scans the room.
"How's it look ma?" He taps his finger on the counter.
"Amazing, how'd you have time to get Marcus' presents? Was my shower that long?" Beth walks into the kitchen, glancing over her shoulder to look at the living room once more.
"Nah, I had his presents in the car. I was gon' take them to his mom's house." Rio stands and inches closer to Beth.
"Oh, that makes sense." She smiles to herself before his lips mashed swiftly against hers.
Rio's stubble causing abrasion against her soft cheeks as she holds his head firmly against hers. Pulling away abruptly, Beth grabs Rio's hand and leads him upstairs into her bed. Pulling herself into the covers, she pats the empty side of the bed, Rio nodding then grabbing to duvet to pull himself under. Turning to the side quickly, Beth grabs the back of his neck, pulling him into another passionate kiss, his breath escaping into her mouth. The flush rising in her cheeks as their tongues collide, they continue this rhythm for a few minutes. Finally pulling away slowly, almost unwillingly, Beth bites Rio's lip when they're parting. Letting out a big smile, she moves her hand to his jawline, feeling it tighten as he smiles as well. Rio makes a noise, as if he's about to say something.
"What's wrong?" Beth continues to caress his jawline with her thumb.
"I- this is gon' sound really weird but..." He pauses, still hesitant, "Nah... it's nothin'." Rio let's out these words in one breath, almost seeming too sure, but still uncertain.
Sitting in slight confusion, Beth can only muster up enough breath to simply say, "Okay..." Not wanting to question or pry and further.
"That's it? You ain't gon' bug me til I tell you?" Rio let's out one more big sigh. Beth shakes her head, for once she's not creating an interrogation. Breaking the silence, almost at the same time, their faces colliding again, the amount of times they've kissed tonight uncountable at this point.
This time, sparks of electricity running through Beth's body, choosing to be unknowing of Rio's thoughts was risky, but she didn't care. Grabbing his jaw with both hands, their mouths continuing to work against each other's. Pulling away, Beth lays her head down on Rio's chest, feeling his heartbeat beneath his shirt. Moving her hand towards her mouth, she feels her lips, swelled from the passion she had experienced tonight. Hopefully it'll be less noticeable in the morning. Closing her eyes, she drifts off to sleep, Rio having already fallen asleep, his chin resting on her head.
