Carmen nodded in agreement, brushing her lips slightly over Shane’s, ‘Want me to make you some breakfast?’

‘No, no, you just stay in bed and rest. I’ll get something on my way.’

‘Liar,’ Carmen chuckled softly, ‘I know you won’t. And you can’t just go on caffeine and nicotine all day honey.’

‘Works for me,’ Shane shrugged.

‘No, no that’s unhealthy. C’mon, up,’ Carmen said with a sudden determination in her voice, she tugged at Shane’s hair, ‘You get ready and I’ll make you some food, c’mon.’

‘No..,’ Shane groaned softly in protest.

‘Yes,’ Carmen said firmly, untangling her arms and legs from Shane and crawling out of bed. She slid into her silken robe, smiling at Shane as she tied it close with a firm knot.
‘Out of bed, now,’ she demanded again.

‘No,’ came a muffled reply from under the covers. Shane threw the sheets off of her, revealing her face, ‘Baby come here for a sec.’

‘What?’ Carmen eyed her suspiciously but curiosity got the best of her and she moved over to the bed. Shane suddenly reached out to grab her arm, pulling her back in bed once more. Giggling, Carmen straddled Shane’s lap, hands ruffling her hair.
‘Oh, you think you so smart huh?’ Their mouths met in a series of feverous, searching crushes, until Carmen leaned back and shook her head.
‘Uh-uh, you gotta eat,’ Carmen said, licking her lips slowly as if she didn’t want to lose the taste of Shane so soon, ‘We’ll finish what we started later tonight.’
With that, she got of Shane’s lap and walked out of the door, leaving a slightly breathless Shane behind.

‘Here,’ Carmen held up a piece of French toast with her left hand in front of Shane’s face, as she reached up on her tiptoes to open one of the cabinets. Shane snuck her arms around Carmen’s waist from behind, lips wrapping around the piece of bread.

‘You like?’ Carmen asked when she heard Shane humming in approval.

‘Mm-mm, this is delicious,’ Shane said taking the plate Carmen handed to her. She dropped a kiss to the back of Carmen’s head, before moving away and sitting down at the kitchen table.

A satisfied smile formed Carmen’s lip then, as she watched Shane digging into her food. She enjoyed feeding Shane. She sat down across from Shane, her hands wrapped around a hot mug filled with coffee.
