Grinning, I nudge her with my elbow. “You making me bacon and pancakes?”
She laughs. “That’s your hangover breakfast?”
“Hell yeah,” I say, reaching down to stick another log on the fire. Fuck, we forgot to bring some in last night after we got drunk. “Why, what’s yours?”
“Hmm, those cinnamon buns are pretty damn good.”
“Oh fuck me,” I groan, my head falling back. “God, those were so fucking good. I’d kill for a dozen right now.”
Delaney exhales, rubbing her hands together as she says, “How about stale oatmeal? I hear it’s great for keeping you regular.”
Chuckling, I can’t resist leaning over and kissing the top of her head. “Sounds fucking awesome, Laney. How about you whip us up this gourmet breakfast and I go get some more firewood, we sorta forgot to get it last night.”
She smiles up at me. “Sounds good. Make sure you bundle up, it’s fucking freezing out there.”
I smile as she repeats my earlier comment back to me, leaning in to kiss the top of her head again. Fuck I wish it could always be like this between us. Well, this and more. I miss what we used to have and even though I was drunk last night, I meant what I said to her.
I do miss her, and I am sorry I fucked up and god, I miss being with her so much. I miss all of it.
“Will do,” I say, giving her a wink. “Don’t miss me too much.”
Delaney gives me a playful shove and I head back out into the fucking artic weather to grab some wood from the stack. It’s going to have to dry out and I can only hope it happens quick enough that the stove doesn’t go out and we have to relight it.
Last night was fun and it was definitely what we both needed, but if we’re going to survive this, we can’t afford to fuck up like this again. I’m pretty sure we’re already flying by the seat of our pants and the last thing I want is to make a mistake that costs us more than we can afford to lose.
I grab as much wood as I can carry and head back to the cabin, the snow still falling. Inside I drop the stack by the fire, hoping it dries out with the heat and turn toward the kitchen area where Delaney is down on the floor on her hands and knees, her gorgeous ass in the air.
“Um, Laney,” I say, stepping closer. “Not that I don’t appreciate the view but is everything alright down there.”
“Yep, ah, um…” comes her muffled answer as she digs around under the cabinet.
I don’t move, taking full advantage of the view even as I wonder what the hell she’s doing down there.
“Fuck yes!” she eventually shouts, hand up in triumph as she gets to her feet and turns to me, a huge smile on her face.
My gaze moves to her hand. “Ah, what the hell is that?” I ask.
She laughs now, jumping up and down in excitement. “It’s soap, Alex! Fucking soap!”
Now it’s me laughing, loving how excited she is by this small thing. “Well, shit, get breakfast cooking, baby and I’ll get us some water. Guess it’s bath time!”
The mood has definitely liftedon the morning and amazingly enough, so has my hangover. The oatmeal Delaney made us totally tastes like shit but seeing the smile on her face over the fact we can actually properly wash, makes all of that disappear.
Now I just have to work on controlling myself when we both decide to finally undress and start this whole sponge bath situation.
I mean yeah, I’ve seen her naked before. Fuck, I’ve had my mouth and hands on pretty much every single inch of her. I’ve been inside her for fuck’s sake.
But we aren’t there anymore and even though I know she still doesn’t believe me; and even though I know this goes against everything I believe in, I am going to prove to her that I really am sorry for how I fucked things up between us.
Which means no perving on her naked ass and absolutely no hands action either.
This is just two friends taking a sponge bath together.
Nothing more.
Nothing at all.
Yeah fuck my life, this is going to be torture.
