Katarina was on her back on the couch with cost projections in one hand and Vessa between her legs.
Okay, not like that. Vessa had climbed on top of her about two minutes ago and was currently trying to pry the papers out of Katarina's grip while Katarina held them above her head like a woman defending the last lifeboat on a sinking ship.
"Kat."
"No."
"Kaaaat."
"Absolutely not."
Vessa pinned Katarina's free hand against the cushion and leaned down until their noses were touching.
"One kiss! Then you can go back to your boring numbers."
"Are you kidding? You kiss your mother with that mouth."
Katarina used her core strength to twist sideways and nearly dumped Vessa off the couch. Vessa clung to her like a cat refusing to leave a warm lap. They wrestled for about three seconds before Katarina got an arm free and held the papers at full extension behind her head.
"These projections are due tomorrow!"
"Your projections can wait twenty minutes!"
They paused.
