“Muah,” you beam, pressing a soft peck into Sylus’s cheek. “Muah!”
Another. And another. And another scattered little kiss along the skin of his face as he sits with you situated comfortably on his lap, hands tracing up and down your hips. It’s late—somewhere close to the sun’s routine time to rise, and somewhere close to Sylus’s routine time to fall asleep. He’s a lot easier to bend to your whims like this, when he’s tired and limp under you and lets you have your way.
He hums, curling his lips into an sleepy smile as he murmurs, “you missed a spot.”
“You don’t get to get picky when you get free affection,” you say instantly.
His smile drops. Something of a grouchy scowl (that’s more like a pout, if you’re being honest) drapes along his lips and forces them into that downward curl. Your lips do the exact opposite, curling up at the sight of his dissatisfaction.
“Well, sweetie,” he drawls, “who knew you could be so stingy?”
“I’m not being stingy,” you grin, purposely missing his lips as you press your next kiss, landing it right over his Cupid’s bow and watching as his eyes flash impatiently. “I’m teaching you a valuable lesson.”
“We don’t always get what we want.”
