Tuesday Tales – Call

Welcome back to Tuesday Tales! This week’s word prompt is “call”. We’re back with Fitz and Dani in Enemy Linez. And I’ve jumped ahead just a bit once again. It seems like I have another couple I can’t keep out of bed!

Dani tied the sash of her bathrobe closed as the sound of running water met her ears. She smiled as she imagined Fitz stepping into the shower, lathering his naked skin up with her lavender scented soap. She laughed to herself. The guys at Diamondhead are going to get a kick out of that. It’ll be pretty hard to miss when they start rolling.

She opened a cabinet door and pulled out a frypan. Then she gathered eggs, peppers, spinach, chopped tomatoes and onion from the refrigerator. She cracked the eggs into a bowl, being extremely careful to deprecate the yolks from the whites. The yolks found their demise down the sink. The whites were dumped into the bowl.

She sprayed the pan with no-stick then dumped half the contents of the bowl inside. She felt her stomach twist a little. It’d been awhile since she cooked breakfast for a guy. And it sure wasn’t bacon and eggs. One of them had to look out for him. She rearranged the other ingredients again the heaved a sigh. She just hoped he didn’t hate what she was making.

As Dani carefully scraped at the cooking eggs to loosen them she felt a pair of warm arms wrap around her tight. The water droplets clinging to Fitz’s arms from his shower soaked through Dani’s bathrobe to her flesh. She shivered then chuckled. Yep. He smelled like flowers.

“Whatcha’ making me for breakfast?” Fitz asked just before he left a trail of kisses along Dani’s neck.

Dani bit back a sigh. “An egg whites omelette. All natural ingredients. Don’t bother bitching. You’re eating it.”

“I’d eat anything you’d cook for me.”

Dani scooped up a handful of each ingredient and tossed it on top of the eggs. She carefully folded the concoction together then patted it down with the spatula. “What if I laced it with rat poison?”

She couldn’t she his reaction but she could feel him shrug his shoulders. “I’d still eat it.”

“You can’t be serious.”

“I’m completely and totally serious, Dani. You’re perfect. I can’t imagine you could do anything wrong.”

Dani’s heart fluttered. Was she feeding her a line of bullshit? He was so smooth she couldn’t tell.

Fitz nuzzled her neck again. “So can I call you?”

“You already have once. I suppose I can’t stop you.”

“You could just not answer.”

“I’m pretty certain I will. I’m sure of it. Now go sit on the couch. I’ll bring your breakfast to you.”

“Naked?”

“We’ll see.”

  1. Love the feel and banter of this scene. Well done!

  2. He’s a brave man not to be afraid of rat poison. I enjoyed their playfulness. Jillian

  3. Fabulous scene. Great dialogue. Looking forward to more!

  4. Great back and forth between the two of them. Very realistic, and yet, brings an ‘Awwwww’ to your heart.
