Come Back to Bed, Honey

When one partner has to go somewhere and the other wants more sex. Often used to show just how devoted a character is to the task at hand—they're refusing sex in order to get on with it—while their Shallow Love Interest only has one thing on the brain. Alternately, it can lead to Coitus Uninterruptus.

A common, more chaste use is when one character gets up in the middle of the night to contemplate something (Common in mystery and Urban Fantasy stories) and their other wakes up and asks their beloved to come back to bed, so they can sleep.

Anime

 * In Macross Plus, after Isamu and his co-worker/friend-with-benefits Lucy have had sex, Isamu is woken up by a call. He answers it but Lucy tells him to go back to be with her so he hangs up. The call was from.
 * Actually, it's more complicated.

Film
"M: Moneypenny, where's 007? Moneypenny: He's on a mission, sir. In Austria. M: Tell him to pull out. Immediately. [James Bond receives message] Girl: What happened? Where are you going? Bond: Sorry. Something came up. Girl: But, James, I need you. Bond: So does England!"
 * The Italian Job
 * Some of the earlier James Bond films.

 * Implied in Rear Window, where a newlywed couple move into an apartment close to the protagonists. They close their blinds, and are not seen for a while. After a few days, the man is seen leaning out of the window, and his wife calls him back.
 * Harrison Ford's character pretends to do this in Frantic to stop a pair of Mossad agents roughing up the French girl who's helping him (actually Ford had just sneaked in the window).
 * The Crazies (1973). Happens as a Mood Whiplash after the opening scene where a man burns his family to death. The two protagonists, a volunteer firefighter and a nurse, tease each other about ignoring the ringing phone and blaring fire siren.

Literature

 * A combination of the two uses occurs in The Bacta War, with Corran being called back to bed by Mirax while he's up late at night, worrying over what he's gotten them all into (at the end of the last novel, he resigned his commission because the politicos wouldn't let him go after the Big Bad, and the rest of the squadron followed).
