Snow Bunnies

Chapter 1
Orlando loved to wake up like this, even if it was so early that it was still dark out. Down the right side of his body he could feel Tess snuggled up against him, her soft, warm body wrapped around him, a leg draped over one of his and her hand massaging his side. With her head resting on his chest he could happily stay here forever and was over the moon about not having to rush out of bed to go to work for a few days.
They had fallen into bed last night exhausted and mildly drunk after driving from Wellington when they had finished shooting for the day. With Tess driving they had made the ski lodge in record time and along with Dominic and Billy they had settled down for a few drinks while they waited for Sean and his family along with Elijah to get there, nearly half an hour later although they had left the same time.
By 11.00pm the last few weeks of long hours on set and a few drinks started to take their toll on everyone and they all crawled off to their rooms to sleep with the promise to meet up in the morning for breakfast by 8.30. Orlando had only been capable of stripping down to his boxers and T-shirt before collapsing onto the bed face first and beginning to snore softly. Tess, being only slightly more awake and sober than him was just able to flip him over on his back before she changed out of her clothes and into a pair of white cotton track pants and a singlet. She clambered over her comatosed lover and after planting a kiss on his nose dragged the blankets up over them both before she crashed next to him.
The massaging fingers on his side were starting to travel under his shirt in ever increasing circles across his stomach and slipping just under his boxers before moving back up again. He looked down at her to see she was still feigning sleep except that he could see a smile starting to play across her lips as her fingers slipped under his boxers again, this time brushing across the top of his already excited cock.
Tess heard his sudden gasp from her touch and again smiled into his chest before she lifted her head and she began to kiss and bite at his nipple through his T-shirt. Her hand started to travel back down under his boxers, this time making no charade of her intentions of where she was going. As she slipped her fingers around him and ran her thumb across the moist head his hips lifted towards her as his hands grabbed hold of her and moved her up his body so he could capture her lips to his. His tongue snaked into her mouth and she ran her stud along the underside of it causing him more difficulty as he felt himself twitch in her hand. She pulled back from his lips and looked down into his darkening eyes with a smile. His hand reached up and brushed her deep red hair behind her ear as his other hand slipped up under the back of her shirt.
“Good morning, Love,” he said as calmly as he could, considering her hand still held him, slowly stroking along his length.
“Morning, Baby. Did you sleep well?” she reached the head and again brushed her fingers over it collecting the fluid from the end before journeying back down.
“Yes thank you,” as he gestured downwards. “What do you plan on doing with that?”
“What would you like me to do with it?” She moved her mouth to the centre of his neck, sucking on the hollow just below his Adam’s apple.
“Whatever it is I’m sure I’ll be pleased,” he declared happily as Tess disappeared under the blankets with a giggle.

Just after 8.00 their erotic yet peaceful morning is interrupted by a knock at the door.
“Just a second,” Orlando called out as they both got out of bed and slipped into their recently discarded clothes before he opened the door to be greeted by a smiling blue-eyed hobbit.
“Good morning girls and boys. Aren’t you two ready, it’s nearly 8.” Elijah casually walked past Orlando and into their room, only stopping when he saw Tess.
“Tess, that shirt’s disgraceful.” Elijah said as he sat down on the arm of the lounge chair.
“No it’s not, you’re mind’s just in the gutter,” Tess replied as she looks down at her night shirt, a pale pink singlet with a white fluffy kitten on the front and the words “PAT ME” written above it.
Elijah shook his head with a fake disgusted smile before breaking into a grin.
“So why aren’t you ready? We’re meeting the others downstairs for breakfast at 8.30 and you two aren’t even dressed. What have you been doing?” he asked with feigned innocence.
“Seeing as how you’re in the next room I think you should have slight idea.” Tess retorted with a smile, knowing full well that Elijah had probably heard them. She was not embarrassed about her happy sex life with Orlando and knew that both Orlando and Elijah were comfortable with her direct response.
“Slight idea? You two almost bounced me out of my bed; I nearly had to hold on to bed head.”
“So did I, Mate,” Orlando started laughing as he dodged a pillow from a laughing Tess.
“Alright you two don’t start that or you’ll be back in bed again,” Elijah stood up to leave. “I’m going to get breakfast. Are you coming?”
Tess and Orlando look at each other and burst into giggles again.
“You know what I mean.” Elijah started to giggle along with them. “Ah, I give up, I’m going down.”
“Not in here you’re not.” Orlando replied as he collapsed on the bed. Elijah instantly realised his faux pas as he broke into more laughter.
“Goodbye. I will see you at breakfast, you nymphos,” he said when he had calmed down enough to speak before leaving them and their laughter.
As the door closed Orlando sat up on the end of the bed and took Tess’ hand, pulling her towards him to stand in between his legs. He lifted the edge of her shirt and kissed her stomach as his other hand reached around to stroke the back of her thigh. He pulled her in close, resting his head against her as her fingers wound through his hair. After a moment he lifted his head to look up at her with a smile.
“We’re not nymphos, are we?” she asked grinning down at him.
“No, we just like fucking a lot,” he joked as he stood up and kissed her.
