Funny that you request this as I’m currently nursing my poor sunburned chest
anyway, here it is! Short and sweet and totally fun to write
Elain sat straddling Lucien, but not for the reason she wanted.
If he had listened to her, they could be doing something far more than spreading aloe vera on a sunburn.
“I told you to use that raspberry oil to prevent a burn, my love.” She scooped more gel from the succulent plant and spread it across his red and abused shoulders. The skin underneath her fingers was still hot from the day in the sun.
“I forgot,” Lucien murmured. He had leaned his head back and now his eyes were half lidded. “We were having too much fun.”
Indeed, Elain’s first beach day had been fun. Her and Lucien’s vacation to the Summer Court had been nothing but fun, until she caught sight of Lucien’s red shoulders, chest, and nose.
“Not so much fun now, is it?”
“It’s not all that bad.”
“Lucien, you look like a strawberry.”
“Ah, but I get to have your hands all over me now,” he winked.
Elain slapped his chest as hard as she dared. “You’re a scoundrel, you know that?”
“You may have told me once or twice. But you’ve also called me and angel, and a god, and what was that thing you said about my fingers?”
“I may have told you again tonight if you hadn’t gone and gotten yourself a sunburn.” Elain put her hands on Lucien’s cheeks and angled his head to be facing her. His eyes opened fully, the metal one whirring. Almost absently, he leaned in closer. With a smirk, Elain pulled away. “I suppose you’ll just have to wait.” She slathered aloe on his nose.
Lucien would not doubt remember to protect his skin from now on.
