Lucy smiled and pulled the laptop onto her lap intending to change the search parameters because, honestly, while they were going to England, it was doubtful the ticket would mention England specifically.

SpencerxMathilda ficlet Pairing: SpencerxMathilda Tropes: Cuddling, a PG version of Netflix and chill Summary: Spencer hears his neighbour pacing her apartment and guesses that she’s sneaking in another episode on the show they’re supposed to be watching together. 

“Well,” said the bar owner emerging form the back, “I checked the fuse box and there’s nothing wrong. Must be a broken line or something, but I found a few more candles folks so as to chase away a few of the shadows.”

A cheer mixed with a good few jeers echoed through the pub as the staff brought out candles in glasses already lit. “Hi, is that not a bit of a health and safety violation?” someone called out to a round of laughter as the proprietor sent the dark corner a desultory finger. Spencer shifted in his seat. “Perhaps we should head back or find somewhere livelier.” Tala made a face. “Not likely to be any livelier if the whole city is devoid of light. We should stay here until the electricity returns.” Bryan nodded, thigh pressed warmly against Mariam’s leg, though she wondered if he even noticed how closely they sat. Something warned her to be wary of him but she refused to allow him to intimidate her.

“The hotel won’t be much better. I’m not tired and I do not want to listen to them.”

Mariam tucked her tongue in her tooth and shook her head. Really? That was how they talked about the other bladers? No wonder they were always so distant. It wasn’t the other bladers avoiding them, but the opposite.

Her glass moved out of the corner of her eye and she raised a brow at Bryan’s nudging. Really? Was this some weird courtship thing he was trying, getting her drunk so he could have his wicked way? Except, no, he’d been strangely chivalrous once he got over the idea that she was trying to sabotage them in some way.

Feeling a presence behind her, a knowing, she glanced over her shoulder just as all the Blitzboys shot to their feet.

“Wait!” She clamped a hand on Bryan’s shoulder and squeezed between him and Tala. “Boys, back off,” she growled the warning, noting the uneasy eyes of the nearby folks watching them.

The apartment was quiet when Mariam unlocked the door and stepped inside. The soft glow of the hall sconces had been left on, a welcome home. She smiled as she carefully toed off her shoes and left them beside the others. Flexing her tired feet, she let them adjust to the cool tile before she navigated her way to the kitchen. A glass sat beside the jug of water and her smile warmed. 

Her phone buzzed in her purse and she drew it out to check the screen, tapping back a quick reply to let the girls know that she’d returned home safe. And then sent another to her brother. She filled her glass and drank it. Then refilling her glass, she set her purse back on the counter and made her way to the room. The slow ache that had been building within her for the past hour intensified, mingling with the giddy sense of excitement. Silly, she’d only been gone for a few hours, had been craving a night out with the girls but when the night began to draw to an end, she’d craved something else instead. 

She eased open the door to her room and closed it quietly behind her. She could smell the rain as it poured in a steady deluge outside the open window and the blinds rattled faintly in the light breeze. In the pale light from the street outside she could make out the figure sprawled on his stomach in the middle of the bed, one arm outstretched to her side. The ache lessened to a contented hum and she set her glass on the bedside cabinet. 

The susurration of fabric as she drew down her zip sounded loud in the room but the figure didn’t stir. She shimmied out of her dress and removed her makeup and jewellery. Finally, she sat at the edge of the bed, taking a moment to rub out the arch of her feet. The bed springs groaned and then a tightly corded arm wrapped around her waist, heated skin pressed against her back and warm lips found the curve of her neck. She melted into the touch, stroking her hand over the arm holding her possessively close, tugging at the coarse hairs there. 

“Bout time you got back.” Bryan’s voice rumbled in her ear before he pressed another kiss to her throat, this one firmer with the slightest graze of teeth. It made lower parts of her body tighten and the ache flared fierce and hot. 

“Aw did you miss me?” She tilted her neck for more attention. 

He grunted. “Figured you’d be out longer. Did you and Mathilda fall out?”

“No, Mathilda is way too nice to fall out with anyone. I had a good time.” 

“So why are you back so early?” Rough fingers brushed the centre of her back and her bra loosened. 

“We might have underestimated Mathilda’s alcohol tolerance though she did have two shots on top of her usual drinks, so we called it an early night and got her back to her bed. Spencer’s staying with her, and being very gentlemanly–” She hissed out a breath as Bryan’s calloused hands replaced her bra and she arched her back. Her mind blanked and it took her a moment to remember what she had to say. “I think we’re going to do it again in a few weeks time. Maybe that weekend you guys go to the woods.” 

“Sounds like a plan. Better than sitting around pining for us.” Another kiss on her neck, and a tug on her scalp preceded her hair falling down in a rain of silk. “Fuck Mashka, your hair.” The guttural growl to his voice made her thighs clench. 

He twisted her hair in his fist and planted a hot wet line of kisses along her neck. Her toes curled and she pressed back into him, feeling him hot and hard at her back. 

“We,” she said, voice hitching when he tugged her hair a little tighter and her thighs squeezed, “probably won’t even notice you’re gone.” 

He stilled and then with a movement that had her biting back a delighted laugh, he tossed her back onto the bed, her hair fanning the pillow beneath her. With a wicked grin, he stretched himself over her, catching her wrists between his hand. “I’m gonna make it so you definitely notice.”
