can you please do comforting fernando after a tough race 🤍
HEARTSTRINGS. ❨ fernando alonso x reader ❩
“fuck!”
your head snaps up towards the shout, eyes having only left the screen for a moment when it happens. there’s a lot of technical babble, none of which you understand, expect one line.
“… retire the car.”
a heartstring tugs at your chest, guiltily hoping it’s lance’s car that pulls into the pit lane. but it’s a white number fourteen that flashes on the screen, and then on the entrance to the garage. gripping the chair under you, you wait in anticipation for the storm about to come.
it had been building for days. poor communication from the team, a bad start in qualifying, and now an engine failure. fernando’s patience with alpine was running thin and you feared the string was about to snap.
“‘nando…” you mutter as he climbs from the car, tugging off his helmet to reveal the sour scowl underneath. engineers pull him away, giving a short brief before he’s ushered to his post—race interview, the other cars still whizzing loudly outside.
all you can do is wait. until his commitments are complete, there’s nothing you can do to comfort his sorrow and pain. at most, you wander back to his drivers room and make some tea for you both — it usually calms him down pretty well.
your leg is bouncing against the chair when the door flies open and shuts again, fernando hurrying inside. you watch him silently, hands ripping off his suit until it falls at his waist, tight fireproofs laid underneath.
“i made tea,” you tell him, tentatively, rising from your seat. he glances towards the two mugs, yours already a few gulps emptier. visibly, he sighs. shoulders slump and give in, reaching across to pull your body to his.
“it’s okay. it’s only one race.” it isn’t, you know that, but it feels like the right thing to say.
“how the fuck did they not notice during the pit?” fernando grumbles against your shoulder. you feel his tension rising again, so you squeeze him a little tighter.
“i’m sorry,” you whisper, head turning in the embrace to softly kiss his cheek. he turns to meet you, gentle eyes turned so sad when they meet your own. it tugs at you, making you want to give alpine a piece of your own mind — if only it wouldn’t make things worse.
“i really wanted it,” he admits, eyes glistening. you’re the only one to ever see this side. beyond the stoic, big bad wolf. you get to see the hurt and the pain this career causes him, and god you wish you didn’t because it makes you sick to your stomach.
“i know,” you coo, pulling him back in. his face nestled in your neck, your hand cradling the crown of his head. you sway slightly, feeling his emotions subside with each passing moment. “want some tea, now?”
fernando nods against your soft sweater, but it still takes another minute for him to pull back. when he does, he takes both his mug and you back to the small couch with him. balancing the tea in one hand, he tugs you close to his side with the other. it stays there, glued to your leg, rubbing small circles on the skin below your skirt.
“thank you,” he murmurs after a few minutes of quiet. you look over at him and spot the love in his eyes that you’d grown accustomed to noticing. smiling, you lean into him more.
“it’s just some tea,” you muse.
“no,” he shakes his head, managing a small breath of a laugh. “i mean, for everything. for being there for me, no matter what.”
a heat rises in you that you never want to go away. love, adoration, everything good filling every crevice in your body and you’re sure you’d never find something as pure as what you had with fernando had you lived a thousand years.
“i love you, ‘nando. i’m always going to be there.” you grasp at his wrist, the one resting on your leg. nudging forward, you softly kiss his tea—stained lips. he chases after them, even as you smile fondly at him.
“i love you so very much, corazón,” fernando mumbles, accent thick amongst his emotions. “can we go back to the hotel? let’s just order room service and watch those awful movies you like.”
your eyes roll with affection. “please, you like them too.”
his lips pull into a smirk, standing to his feet and taking you with him. he sets both mugs down, taking a few minutes to change into his own clothes. you fold his suit neatly for him, setting it aside as he pulls on his shorts and top. just before you can reach for the door, he grips your waist softly and pulls you flush to his chest.
his lips fall softly on your own, sucking carefully at the swell of your bottom lip. by instinct, his tongue licks into your mouth, dancing lovely past your own. there’s a passion there, but nothing heated or desperate. just wanting to be close.
“thank you, again,” fernando repeats, brushing your hair back from your forehead. you smile, nuzzling against his touch for a slight second, heart squeezing in your chest.
“i’m proud of you, no matter what.”

Fur Baby
Tumblr media
Bucky x f reader 
For Bella’s writing challenge, I’ve loved this so much @chrisdrysdale You have the best prompt list! Please reblog, like, comment and let me know what you think  💕
Prompt 40. What no smart-ass reply? 
Warnings: None! Fluff! Bucky is a secret softie 
Word count: 1k 
“No.” “But Buckyyy, look how cute” you pouted, shoving your phone in his face.
Bucky’s stoic face remained the same.
“No y/n, we wouldn’t even be home to take care of it” “It’s a she!” “It’s a cat.”
You had spotted a stray cat near the compound, along with her new born kittens. There were four of them nestled in the warm grass and bushes. Ever since you found them, you started leaving out bowls of water and food. There was a strict no pet’s policy, but rules are meant to be broken right?  
You shared a floor with Steve and Bucky; if you could convince them to keep their mouths shut, you would be able to care for the babies on your floor until they were old enough to be adopted. Steve was away on a mission, so for now you just had to convince Bucky. You scrolled through the cutest pictures you had of the babies, but Bucky wasn’t convinced. Screw him, the kittens deserved better than grass.
It wasn’t a struggle to get them inside; you had gained mamas trust and she happily trailed behind you as you tucked the babies in a shoebox to take to your room. You snuck into the elevator, groaning remembering you would have to walk by Bucky’s room to get to yours. Tiny mews emerged from the box as the elevator came to a stop.
“You have to be quiet or he’s going to hear you” “Meow”
You dashed to your room, quietly shutting the door behind you. There was already a small space in the closet with blankets and heating pads. You had kept food, water bowls and a few feeding bottles in case the kittens needed extra milk. Mama cat sauntered around the room, cautiously sniffing around, happily settling in the pile of warm blankets you had set out.
“Smart girl, you knew that was for you, didn’t you?” “Merrp”
Over the next few weeks, the kittens were growing and getting naughtier by the second; it was getting harder to keep them a secret. Mama was also thriving, her white fur shiny and soft; she was considerably fuller looking. You had a number of people looking to adopt the kittens but few people were interested in an older cat.
“Sweet girl, we’ll find you an amazing home too, I promise” You scratched behind her ears as she purred against you. As much as you loved the kittens, she was an absolute treasure.
You woke up the next morning, feeling emptiness on your side of the bed. You had started letting her sleep by your side but right now she was nowhere to be seen. The kittens were fast sleep in their blankets. You searched around the room, worry increasing when she was nowhere to be found.
You made your way down the hall hoping to see her somewhere but again, nothing. You continued to check every floor as you made your way downstairs. Everyone was away on a mission, so at least the cat wasn’t out of the bag. Sort of?
You heard Bucky’s voice from the living room, surprised because there wasn’t anyone else around the compound and God knows the man doesn’t talk to anyone on the phone.
“Sometimes I feel like I can’t escape my own head, you know?” You curiosity piqued. It warmed your heart a little that he was opening up, but who the hell was he talking to?
“How would you know, you’re a cat”
“Meow”
You felt your soul leave your body, hastily returning to watch the following scene unfold before you.
Bucky was lying on the couch with the cat perched on his chest slowly blinking at him each time he spoke. He was feeding her little cat treats while rubbing her behind the ears. Alpine noticed you, her ears perking up and tail swishing about.
“What is it Alpine?”
“Meow” “So that’s why she’s gotten so round, I knew I didn’t leave her that much food” Bucky’s face turned red, his eyes growing wide as he looked up at you grinning down at him.
“What, no smart-ass reply?”
“uh- what are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be with the others?”
You giggled, watching the cat snuggle into Bucky’s chest, closing her eyes as the afternoon sun poured through the windows.
“Could ask you the same question Buck. Alpine?” “Yeah” His face continued to heat up, blushing while continuing to pet the fur baby as she slept. “Cause she’s white and soft like snow” “WOW. How long has this rendezvous been going on for?”
“She came into my room a few weeks ago. Must have heard me having a nightmare and I guess you left your door open. I heard scratching at the door and she was there. She’s been with me every night ever since” You felt your heart melt. You smiled, sitting beside Bucky, his words suddenly registering. “Wait, every night?! But she’s always in my bed when I’m up!” Bucky snorted. “You sleep like a log, she sleeps with me and then I put her back in your room before you’re up. You’d sleep through the purge y/n”
You grinned, watching Bucky look at Alpine with heart eyes.
“You like her don’t you”
“She’s okay” As if Alpine understood, her head shot up, her eyes narrowing at him.
“I’m joking sweetheart, I love you” He pressed a soft kiss on her head. Satisfied, she nuzzled back into his chest.
“Is that a cat?”
Both you and Bucky sat up wide eyed as Tony entered the living room with the others.
“Yep”
“Why is there a cat in the living room?”
“Can we keep her?”  You didn’t bother explaining the story of how you ended up at this very moment but you gave Tony the best puppy eyes you could muster.
Tony raised an eyebrow, watching Alpine purring happily in Bucky’s metal arm while he stroked her tummy.
“Fine. I’m not cleaning the litter box though”
“Looks like we found you a home Alpine!”

 Thank you again, for your amazing prompt list! @chrisdrysdale

Tumblr media
He was perfect, you were perfect. It was meant to be You don’t really know how all of this happened. One day you’re in the big city, good job, good relationship.. The next day, you’re moving out, fired and single. You decided to move out to the countryside, you need a detox from the big city. You settled into a small farm, other farms surrounding you. 
When you got settled you had no animals on the farm, just some old beehives from the previous owner and cat who came with the house called, Mittens. You were happy, but you wanted a purpose on your land. You ordered some cows, sheeps and chicken and fixed up the beehives and now you had a purpose. The catch is, you didn’t know anything about farming.You decided this would be a good time to introduce yourself to your neighbours. On your left hand side you had, Steve. He was tall, blonde and very strong. He showed you the right food to buy for your cattle and how to shear the sheep in the summer and where to sell it to. Two doors down from you was Tony, he was the techy one, he showed you which tractors and ploughs to invest in. On your right you had Ari, he didn’t really show you anything, he was too busy checking you out and just told you if you needed any heavy lifting to come to him. Wanda and Nat lived next to Ari, they showed you their beehives and how to care for them. Jake was the last on the street, he gave you some started seeds for berries and flowers which you were very thankful Then there was Bucky, he lived a few doors down from Steve. He had farmland and lots of experience. You knocked on his door and your breath was taken away when he opened the door. He was gorgeous, tall, muscular, dark brown hair and a scruffy face. He was perfect. You gave him a sheepish smile before speaking. “Hi, I’m y/n, I moved in a few weeks ago and I’m jus’ setting up my land now and I was wondering if you had any tips or tricks”. He smiled softly at you and opened his door wider. “Why don’t you come in, honey. I got a book of buyers and sellers that can help you”. You blushed and took his offer, stepping in and the smell of vanilla and oak overcame you. “I’m Bucky, by the way”. He led you into the kitchen and stuck on the kettle and began rummaging around looking for the book. “I assume you met everyon- oh please tell me you haven’t talked to Ari?” You giggled softly and he groaned. “God he tries to get his hand on every woman who come onto the street, you should have seen how disappointed he was when he found out Wanda and Nat were lesbians” You laughed softly and he smiled at you. “You have a beautiful laugh” 
You blushed hard and he handed you the book, filled to the brim with leaflets and cards. “Woah, thank you Bucky” “You’re welcome, honey. Would you like some tea?” You smiled and nodded as you began flicking through the book, but got a little shocked when a white fluffy cat jumped up on the table. The cat purred and nudged his head under your hand, you gently rubbed him and smiled when Bucky turned back. “I see you’ve met Alpine” “Aw! That’s such a cute name.” You kept petting him as Bucky handed you your tea and soon enough Alpine nestled down on the chair beside you. “So tell me about yourself, y/n. What's a gorgeous girl doing out here on a farm all alone”. You blushed at his slight compliment and told him the whole story of how and why you moved out leaving him in awe. “That’s quite the life story, honey”. You nodded and finished your tea. “Don’t I know it” You looked over at the clock and then out the window to where the sun was setting. You closed over the book and looked at Bucky. “I should probably get going now, I have a lot of animals to feed now” You both chuckled and you gave the book back to Bucky but he refused. “Keep it, honey. You need it more than I do”. You smiled and gave him a quick hug before leaving. 
Tumblr media
The next few months were amazing for you. Flowers and plants began blossoming up all over your land, all your animals were healthy and producing well and you were getting close with all your neighbours. You and Steve would constantly bake on the weekends and you, Wanda and Natasha would all package up honey to sell. But you also grew closer to Bucky, you could sense that something was there. You just didn’t know what. You would constantly have tea at his house, sometimes bringing whatever baked goods you and Steve made that weekend and him teaching you the tricks of the trade. But then it all kinda stopped. Bucky stopped inviting you over and slowly started to stop coming out onto the road. You vented your heart out to the girls about how you were feeling and they felt awful for you, but there wasn’t much they could do, there wasn’t much anyone could do. So you gave up. You realised he must not feel the same and that nothing was going to happen. But that’s not what was happening. Bucky wanted you so bad that he had to distance himself from you, too worried to upset you, or make you uncomfortable that he literally had to take himself away from you. You were out the next day, scraping up some honey from your beehives as mittens flops and rolls around the grass beside you. You spotted someone walking up the lane and soon realised it was Bucky. You quickly dropped your scraper and began taking off your bee suit and running over to him. You opened your gate and ran down to him. “Bucky! Hey Bucky!” He turned and gave you a nervous smile. “H-hey, honey” You gave him a big hug and gently rocked side to side. “I’ve missed you so much! Where have you been?” “Jus’ been a bit down, lovely”. You frowned at his words. “Well why don’t you come over for a picnic later”. Bucky smiled softly and nodded, making you squeal with excitement. “How about four? Oh! And bring Alpine too, he can play with mittens. You smiled and let Bucky start walking again. “See you later!!”. You ran back to your house and instantly began preparing. You made your best sandwiches and picked your best strawberries, and got the best bottle of champagne from Wanda and Natahsa and packed up some of the cookies you and Steve made this weekend. You showered and got changed quickly, putting on a small sundress covered in little flowers. You went down to your field with your basket and blanket in one hand and mittens in the other. You laid it down and placed mittens on it before setting up the platter of food and laying little flowers on it. You sat down once you saw Bucky walking up the lane. He walked in your gate, Alpine trotting along behind him, you waved at him and he waved back. You stood up and hugged him as he got the blanket. “Hi Bucky” “Hi Honey” you both smiled and sat at the blanket and you showed Bucky. “I made ham and cheese sandwiches, picked and washed some strawberries from my greenhouse, those are cookies me and Steve last weekend and I stole some champagne from Wanda and Nat.” Bucky smiled widely at you. “Wow y/n, this all looks amazing.. You really didn't have to do all this for me”
“But I wanted to, you said you were feeling down, plus you helped me so I help you”. He smiled at you with so much love in his eyes and looked at the food. “Can I try one of your sandwiches?” You nodded and handed him one and you both began to eat. As you both ate you talked over how life has been and how you both were. By the end of the picnic, your head was resting on Buck’s shoulder and both the cats were snuggled up together. He gently stroked your arm and inhaled the scent of your hair as you watched the sunset. “I missed this honey, I missed us”. You sat up and looked at him, gently stroking his face. “I missed it too..  I got really worried about you. Why were you down Buck?” He sighed and rubbed his forehead. “I can’t tell you sweetheart” You pouted and moved your hand to his chin. “Yes you can..” Once he heard that, he gently moved his face closer to yours and kissed you softly, taking you by surprise but you kissed him back. The kiss slowly became more and more passionate as Bucky brought his hands to the side of your face and mumbled out. “That’s why I’ve been down.. Couldn't have you”. He kissed you more and you crawled into his lap. “I want you too Bucky”. You moaned out into the kiss making him pull away. “You sure?”
“Positive.” Bucky quickly scoops up you and two cats before running back to your house. He dropped the two cats off at the door and brought you upstairs as he kissed you more. He kicked open your bedroom door and laid you on the bed, groaning at the sight of your perked nipples through your dress. He pulled off his flannel and his vest before kneeling between you and kissing down the outside of your dress. “Fuck, you’re gorgoeus, honey”. He kept going down before laying flat on his stomach and flipping your dress up and tugging down your pretty white panties revealing your dripping core. Bucky licked a stripe up your pussy and groaned. “Yup.. sweet like honey” Bucky ate you out like a starved man as you fisted his hair up in your hand and rocked your hips into his face before coming all over it. You panted as he kissed back up to your lips. You swirled your tongue around his mouth, your taste still lingering as your hand went down into his jeans. You began to gently stroke him, making him groan into your mouth but suddenly he pulled your hand out. “That’s for another day, baby. I need to be inside you”. You moaned at his words and pulled off your dress and bra as he undid his boxers. But then looked at you with a frown. “Condom?” but you winked back “pill” 
He pushed in softly but fast, making you scream in pleasure as he bottomed out. “That’s it baby, take my cock”. You moaned and arched your back as he began to slam into you, holding your waist. “Fuckin’ dreamed of this honey”. He laid on you, holding your face as he kissed and fucked you. You tugged on his hair, wrapping your legs around his waist  and digging your heels into his lower back. Bucky groaned and sucked a small hickey. “Taking me so well, baby, I’m all in there”. You moaned louder and louder as you clenched around him. “Oh fuck honey! You close already?” You moaned and your cheeks went flushed red. “Sorry” “No No please don’t apologise, I’m close too”. He panted into your ear, rocking his hips fast as you kissed him again. He moaned into your mouth. “Cum for me baby” You moaned loudly and clenched hard around him, causing his own orgasm to wash over him. You both froze, staring at each other as your highs slowly faded. You brought your hand up and stroked your thumb over his flushed cheek before he kissed you softly. Bucky pulled out slowly and quickly ran to your bathroom and grabbed a towel before coming back and wiping you both down. He tossed the clothes onto the floor and helped you under the covers, holding you close. “Get some rest, honey. You need it” you nodded and smiled before quickly falling asleep, Bucky following soon after.
Tumblr media
You wake up the next morning to the smell of pancakes floating through the house. You quickly grabbed Bucky’s flannel and put it on, running down stairs and hugging Bucky’s waist. He chuckled softly and hugged your arms. “Hi Bucky” 
“Hi y/n, how’d you sleep beautiful?”
“So well” you replied back as you went over to the two cats, curled up on the couch. You went back over to Bucky and looked at him before speaking. “What happened last night, I ho-”. Bucky cut you off with a kiss and chuckled softly. “No it wasn’t just a one time thing.. I want this with you honey… I want it all”. You kissed his cheek. “Good.. Cause i want it all too” 
Bucky smiled at you and dished up the pancakes. “C’mon love, lets go have this on the deck, maybe Ari will come out and believe me you don’t wanna miss his reaction when he realises he can’t have you either!” 
Fin! <3

Bad day - B.Barnes x reader
I hope you like this one, sorry for being MIA but life got busy :)
Love you all lots xx
Bucky liked things the way they were, he liked having his routine. It reminded him of the routine he would used to grumble about back in the army, but it gave him a small sense of comfort. He knew the way things would go and he liked it. He knew that the moment he walked through the door to his apartment, Alpine would wrap herself around him begging for her dinner, and then he knew that Y/N would give him a kiss and then remind Alpine that she had already eaten dinner and Bucky wasn’t to give her anymore. He knew that Y/N’s shoes would be kicked off in the hallway next to her bag which he would pick up and put ready for the next day. He liked it, and Y/N liked it too. 
So when Bucky walked into his apartment at the same time he always did, and Alpine wrapped herself around him like she always did, but when Y/N didn’t come bounding up to him, that was how Bucky knew something was wrong. Alpine’s mews filled the empty hallway, she climbed across his feet begging to be picked up, and Bucky complied giving her a few head scratches. 
“Where’s your mummy baby girl?”He asked the little ball of fluff, who simply looked up at him as if attempted to communicate telepathically, before giving up and letting out a pained mewl “Okay, okay, I will get you something to eat”, Bucky promised gently giving her another head scratch “But I need to find my girl first, deal?” Alpine let out a grumble but Bucky took it as an agreement. 
Bucky made sure to make some noise as he moved through his apartment, it felt unnatural having spent so many years being silent as he moved but he knew that Y/N got scared easily and the last thing he wanted to do was scare her before he even saw her. There was a little light coming from their bedroom, so Bucky decided to attempt that first. With Alpine still in his arms he placed heavy footsteps through the hallway and made sure to knock the door open a little more as he entered the bedroom. And sure enough there Y/N was, lying on the bed, shoes still on, frozen still. If Bucky couldn’t hear her breathing he’d be worried, but he knew her breathing patten and he knew she was awake, which settled a little of the fear in his mind. Alpine jumped out of Bucky’s arms and nestled herself next to Y/N’s still figure 
Bucky let out a little sigh before whispering “Y/N, doll. You okay?”Bucky was greeted with silence, as Alpine pushed herself closer to the shell of Y/N, who lifted her hand and gave the little white cat some scratches behind her ears. Bucky took a second to weigh up the options of pushing her or leaving her alone, then said “Do you need to talk?”, nothing again, “Has Alp been fed yet?” He asked trying to be as normal as possible, 
“Oh pretty girl, I forgot didn’t I?” Y/N’s voice was quiet and crackled as she spot, Alpine let out a soft meow, as if to say her forgiveness, on any other day Bucky would have commented on how he wasn’t so lucky to receive the nice treatment Alpine gave Y/N, but he quickly decided it wasn’t the time. Y/N pulled herself up to a sitting position, 
“I’ll do it,” Bucky said softly, “Why don’t you get yourself into some pyjamas huh?” Y/N nodded as Bucky picked up Alpine, pressing a soft kiss to Y/N’s head as he did. 
Padding into the kitchen with Alpine snuggled in his arms Bucky pondered ways that he could make Y/N feel a little better. Setting Alpine down with a bowl of food Bucky put a simple pan of pasta on the stove top, he knew that it was unlikely Y/N had eaten yet and he knew that she just needed to get some form of food in her no matter how healthy it was.
Plating up the pasta, topping it with cheese and a little bit of leftover sauce from a few days before, Bucky made his way back into the bedroom, where Y/N sat in the same clothes and same shoes as before. 
“Oh sweetheart, lets get you changed” Bucky set the bowl of pasta down on the bedside table and coaxed Y/N up gently, 
Y/N followed Bucky into the bathroom, 
“I’m sorry” she muttered as Bucky sat her on the toilet and began to take off her shoes “Can you tell me what’s going on in your pretty mind for me?” He cooed softly 
“I don’t know” she said letting a few tears fall across her cheeks as Bucky moved on to removing her t-shirt, 
“Did something happen?” He asked pressing a little kiss to her collarbone as he pulled one of his shirts over her head, she shook her head a little, “Okay, did you wake up feeling like this?”
“It’s been like it for a while” She admitted as he pulled off her leggings and got her changed into some sweats “I just couldn’t hide it anymore Buck” She cried, 
“Oh baby” He said pulling her close to him “You never have to hide anything from me” He said 
“But you’re doing so good I don’t want to bring you down” 
“You don’t bring me down baby, I’m here for you good and bad, better or worse” 
“We’re not married” Y/N said gently “You don’t have to deal with the worse” 
“I would marry you today if you wanted, I want your good and bad, I want to spend your worst days with you. There is nothing else I want sweetheart” 
“I’m sorry” She said again trying to pull away from him, Bucky loosened his grip a little so she could get comfortable but never once let go completely 
“Please baby don’t apologise” He said “How about we get into bed? We can put on a movie?” He suggested 
“Ok” Y/N hummed against his shirt, 
“Lets get your comfy baby” He said pulling her close to him and lifting her with ease to their bed, “It’s ok, everything is going to be okay,” he said passing her the bowl, “Can you try and eat a little for me?” 
“Will you share it?” Y/N asked, Bucky was wary knowing that she wouldn’t have eaten all day but he nodded and took a bite off the fork which Y/N held up to him
“Your turn sweetheart” He said and Y/N took a bite, “I love you baby”

Sometimes surviving winter on the mountain is all about what you wear. Camouflage. It’s not just a fashion statement it’s key to the white-tailed ptarmigan way of life.
Tumblr media
White-tailed ptarmigan, the “p” is silent, live above tree line most of their lives. With few plants for hiding, white-tailed ptarmigan’s grow all white feathers for the winter. This lets them blend in perfectly in the snow covered landscape that can last from October through June.
In the summer, white-tailed ptarmigan’s have a different look. Their warm weather feather grow in with more brown and gray. This allows them to blend in with the rocks of the tundra and alpine environment.
Tumblr media
A few trails in the national park go high enough to enter the home of the white-tailed ptarmigan. Places on the Wonderland trail, as well as Burroughs Mountains and the Skyline enter these higher elevations. Have you seen a white-tailed ptarmigan while hiking or climbing? ~ams

“Alex, I’m cold,” Christine decreed.
“Yeah, I am, too—I think it’s going to snow again.”
He put his arm around her all so he could lead her to the back room of the bistro. It had been some time since they had been at the cabin and all Christine wanted was to curl up before the fireplace with him on the couch and fall asleep in that warm cozy bed before the next round of snow entered their mysterious area. She shivered and she tucked a lock of dark hair behind her ear: Alex, meanwhile, huddled closer to her so his body protected her from the bitter cold wind, which flooded in from the mountainsides off in the distance on the backs of wispy gray clouds. There was a small part of her that remained curious about those mountainsides, and especially the cavernous glaciers in between the finest crevices up there as well.
So much to do in that area and yet, she felt the clock ticking. The fantasy would be done before she knew it, and thus, she knew that she had to seize every moment she had with Alex.
“Let’s get out of the wind!” he exclaimed over the next big gust of cold alpine wind. Indeed, she could feel the snow in the air as he led her over to what looked like a narrow alleyway off to the left side of the street. Christine moved a lock of hair out of her eyes for a better look at the narrow spot before them and she realized it was like a closet, a safe space away from the world with a little Christmas tree in one corner and a lush shag rug that was the color of red wine.
“Ooh, this is lovely,” she remarked: a door behind them closed and they were cozy and warm in this small room.
“A nice little nook for us to spend some time in until the weather clears up,” he declared: he strode past her to a small white bone china plate on a stand up against the wall.
“What you got there, baby?” she asked him.
“Cookies!” He picked one up and showed her the shape of the gingerbread man, complete with gum drops for the buttons and royal icing for the eyes and the mouth. He handed her the cookie and she nibbled on the top of the head.
“Of course you eat his head first,” he teased her as he picked up a cookie for himself, to which he bit off the arm from the shoulder.
“Yeah, but you’re eating his arm, though!” she insisted, and he flashed her a wink.
“Mmm, gingerbread,” he said in a low voice. “Delicious.” He picked up a piece of paper from the edge of the platter and nodded his head. “These are from Chuck and Tiffany, Chris.”
“Far too kind,” she said as she took a larger bite out of the head, and he snickered at that.
Alex ran his fingers through his jet-black hair and he turned towards the big lush red recliner chair up against the right wall.
“There should be another chair in here,” she quipped, and she opened the coat a little bit more. She then spotted something out of the corner of her eye: when she turned her head for a look, there stood a series of milky white candles on the shelf next to the top of the recliner. A little something intimate for the two of them in there.
“Some gingerbread and a bit of relaxation, too—mmm.” He leaned back in the recliner, as far back as it could go so the tip of his nose pointed up towards the ceiling. Christine showed him a smile even though he had closed his eyes and rolled his head away from her. He nibbled on the cookie and he tucked one hand underneath his head: meanwhile, the bottom hem of the camisole and the edges of the jacket all raised up and he showed her that big patch of skin that was his belly.
But Christine had her attention fixated on the long matches on the floor next to the leg of the table next to her, nestled in the canister that looked to be a part of the table itself. She picked out one of the matches, long and pale with the light balsa wood and with a large pink head capped on top.
“What else we got here?” he wondered aloud.
She turned to see him with a small tin box decorated with snowflakes and a couple of Christmas trees. He set the box down upon his stomach all so he could take off the lid: he lifted his head for a look into the box, and then he took one thing out of there.
“Looks like some sugar cookies,” he said as he took a bite of cookie. He closed his eyes as he relished in the flavor.
“Tasty?” she asked him.
“Quite,” he replied with his mouth full. Christine struck the match head against the abrasive side of the can and a low flame flickered as a result. Alex raised his eyebrows at the sight of it.
“What, you want to light me on fire or something?” he teased her with his mouth full.
“Nah…” She strode over to the candles on the shelf and she lit one wick after the other, until they had a full line of fire right over Alex’s head. She blew out the flame on the match head and she showed him another sweet smile, especially as he swallowed down another bite of sugar cookie.
“Fill your tummy with all the cookies,” she declared with a smile on her face.
“Can’t eat too many of them, though,” he pointed out once he swallowed the rest down and then rubbed his hands together. “Too many cookies and I’ll gain weight.”
“You would look really cute with some extra pounds, though,” she told him, and she cracked him a playful little smile. She pulsated her fingers and lunged for his waist. “Just a little round full tummy—” He brought his arms up to his waist to protect himself from her tickling him: she instead put her hands upon his waist and pressed her lips to the side of his neck.
“Let’s turn the lights off, shall we?” she suggested, and she doubled back to the door frame for the light switch rested upon the wall there: she spotted a dimmer switch, which she took upon herself to push down upon. Darkness swept over the tiny room and the lights from the tree flickered on in response.
“Look at that,” Alex remarked as he tucked the tin in between him and the arm of the couch. The little lights twinkled with crystal white light, especially when she brought the overhead lights to a level of near complete darkness.
She let the candles glide with the low flames and then she switched off the overhead light all the way. The golden glow from the wicks spread over the walls and the ceiling, and she closed the edges of the coat around her to keep in the warmth.
Alex remained reclined back in the chair but he lifted his head for a better look at Christine through the soft light from the tree and the candles. The way the light caressed over his skin and the edges of his hipbones and blanketed him as if he was meant to do just that: she never realized as to how beautiful of a body he had before, that is until she examined him from his feet all the way up to his bare waist and his entire upper body.
“You look so cute, baby,” she told him in a near whisper.
“So cute?” he echoed her, baffled.
“So very—cute.” She pressed her lips onto his, and she lay a hand on his bare belly for a caress of the soft smooth skin. He then brought a finger to her lips to hold her steady.
“I have an idea,” he quipped right then.
“What’s that?”
He nibbled on his bottom lip.
“It’s crazy, though,” he said. “Crazy but risky as holy fuck.”
“What is it?”
“You see that candle closest to us?”
She gasped.
“Alex—where are you going with this?”
“A little bit of hot wax and fire to warm us up?” he suggested.
Christine pursed her lips at that. She had never thought of playing with hot wax or the temperature or anything of that nature but through the darkness, she noticed this look in his eyes as if she could trust him on it.
“As long as it gets the both of us out of these ill-fitting clothes,” she remarked.
“I guarantee you that it will.” He flashed her a wink, and then she reached for the candle closest to him. The base of the outside glass was warm, but not warm enough to ache the palm of her hand.
“So my gut has been out in the open this whole entire time,” he started with a running of his fingers through his jet-black hair: through the dim intimate light of the Christmas tree and the candles on the shelf, the gray sliver poked out like a bunny rabbit poking its head out of the safety of the hole. “Because I’ve been so exposed this whole entire time, my skin feels like porcelain left out in the cold.”
Christine held the candle in one hand so she could run her fingers over his bare skin again.
“Yeah, it is cool to the touch,” she noted. Her fingertips caressed over the rim of his belly button. She almost didn’t want to do it given he was so soft and gentle there but it would give him what he wanted.
She rested the base of the candle on his skin.
“Ooh, that’s nice and warm,” he told her. “Tip it over.”
Gingerly, she tipped the candle onto the edge of the base so the side inclined closer to his bare skin. He let out a low whistle as the warmer part of the glass loomed closer to him.
“Are you feeling okay?” she asked him.
“Never better.” The tip of the flame kissed the rim of the candle and the hot melted wax puddled against the inside glass.
“Lift it off of me,” he encouraged her. She lifted the candle off his skin but she let the wax drip out of there and onto his skin. He gasped at the feeling and he let out a low euphoric moan in response to her.
“Is that good?”
“Utterly perfect,” he assured her in between grunts and soft moans from the back of his throat. The wax pooled around his hipbone, a long thin puddle with a slight streak on one side as if it resembled a broomstick. “More.”
“More?”
“Gimme more. I'm begging you, my dear. Give me more of that hot wax. I need it. I need the feeling against my skin.”
Another drizzle of wax on his bare skin and he gasped again from the sensation. That piece of wax took the shape of a Christmas tree that time. Alex brought his hands to his face all to obscure her view into his eyes.
More wax on his bare skin and that time, Christine was sure that it took the shape of a menorah. A little bit of tattooing on her part, all for him.
“Give yourself some of that fire, too,” he whimpered out to her in a broken voice.
“You wanna do it for me or should I do it myself?”
“Whatever you want, my dear little snow bunny.”
She held the candle underneath her hand and Alex raised his head for a better look at her. The tip of the flame licked the base of her skin: she nibbled on her bottom lip as she relished in the pain.
“Put it to your thigh,” he groaned out.
“That means I would have to take off your jeans,” she pointed out.
Without a second thought, he sat up and he reached out for the waistband of the jeans. He then tugged them down as if they were made of latex rather than snug denim.
“To my thigh?” she echoed him, and he nodded at her, excited.
With a low whistle, she brought the flame to the inside of her thigh. The heat lapped at her: she locked eyes with him, those deep eyes that seemed to stare into infinity from the bottom of the ocean. The tip of her tongue slithered out from her mouth and along her bottom lip.
The dance of fire and ice. The meeting of fire and water. The caress of the deep ocean with the kiss of deep space. She waded through the depths of the ocean where he emerged from the darkest corner of outer space: there was in fact something alien about Alex after all, as if he had emerged from another world at some point. So infinite and so infinitesimal at the same time.
She closed her eyes to better take in the heat as well as his spatial depths. As if he had taken her by the hand and kissed her with the sin of the apple and the coziness of the snow.
The hot touch of wax dripped down the inside of her thigh: she opened her eyes and she realized that she not only had let some of the wax go down her skin but he had slipped his fingers in between her lips. The pain of the hot wax fused with the euphoria of his fingers under her hood.
She had reached orgasm without even knowing it, that is until she dripped more wax down the inside of her leg and it reached her knee, and Alex brought his middle finger to her clit, and she watched all the while.
She treated him to a low moan, and she bowed her head forth. Alex then clasped his free hand up to her face and pressed his lips onto hers.
He then reached behind her for something, and he handed her a big bright red apple, as full and round as the apples down in the orchard at the base of the hill.
“What’s this for?” she asked him, and he brought his lips to her forehead, followed by a soft swipe at the side of her neck, which in turn made her toes curl into the soft shag carpet. A second kiss on the neck and then he planted one on her lips, which in turn straightened out her spine as well as her knees.
He kept his eyes closed and she kept both hands on the apple.
“Close your eyes,” he whispered into her ear, “and let the music guide you.”
She closed her eyes, and the warm intimacy of the room fell away as he brought her to another avenue of her mind.
