Beautiful Morning: Rick Wright x Reader

Tagging: @kmc1989

Rick wakes up to the sound of the shower running, to the breeze from the open windows, to your scent on pillow case. The sunlight plays across his skin, warming it as he stirs. His body aches from the night before, from all the filthy things the two of you had gotten up to.

The water shuts off and he rolls over to the sight of you standing in the doorway, wrapped up in one of his towels.

“That’s a beautiful sight to wake up to.” He says contently and you give him that smile, the one that makes his heart beat just a little faster. His fingertips snag the edge of the towel as you pass by the bed and he tugs on it leaving you standing naked before him.

His breath catches because you, you truly are stunning. You have a surfer’s physique from years on the tournament circuit, a couple of scars from a bad collusion you’d had a few years ago.

“You are being mischievous.” You say leaning over the bed to retrieve the towel. Rick cups the side of your face, his thumb tracing over the blush of your cheek.

“Come back to bed.” He requests, his lips brushing over yours.

“Tempting.” You say in between kisses. “But you know I have that thing…”

“Oh that thing…” He mumbles, his mouth leaving a trail of heated kisses down the curve of your throat before his body covers yours, pressing you into the mattress. “Well I best make it quick.”

You laugh breathlessly as his lips delve lower.

“Oh Rick.” You sigh, your fingers tangling in his hair. “You and I both know it won’t be quick.”

Orville Wright of the Wright Brothers was an elderly man when he criticized Cold War politics in the late 1940s:

“The effort for world peace has developed into a cat and dog fight through the introduction of opinions of delegates on questions of socialism and capitalism. There is no good reason why these should have been brought into matter[s] of world peace … 

“One year ago when the fighting ended the people of America had a friendly feeling for Russia and Russia for America. This feeling changed when American newspapers suddenly began printing stories that Russian spies were hiding in nearly every nook and cranny of our country and that there was danger of war with Russia … papers in the United States have been filled with propaganda detrimental to the reestablishment of friendly relations  … 

“It is time that we stop this fighting over the type of government in other countries. We have no more right to dictate to our allies the type of government they shall have than they have the right to dictate the type of government we shall have …”
